Chapter 328: The Great River
Zhu Xingzhen let the boy pull him for a short distance, and only then did he break free of the boy's hand and stand still, and the panicked boy was awakened by Zhu Xingzhen's actions, and after finding that he had left the study house for a long distance, he also calmed down again, standing in place and silently began to calm his messy thoughts.
"Why run away?" Before the boy could calm down completely, Zhu Xingzhen took the lead in asking questions to break the silence between them, and the question pointed to the key to the boy's fear.
"Huh?" When he first heard Zhu Xingzhen's question, the boy didn't fully react, and it took a moment before he came back to his senses and remembered the existence of this strange man in front of him.
"Oh, no, nothing...", but the boy seemed to hesitate, looked away with a twinkle in his eyes, and casually answered Zhuxingzhen's question.
"Are you sure?" Zhu Xingzhen looked at the boy's twinkling eyes that didn't dare to look directly at him, and asked again in a calm tone.
"Sure..."After thinking about it, the boy still decided not to tell the strange man in front of him about the strange situation he had discovered, and said stiffly, putting aside Zhu Xingzhen's calm gaze.
SINCE IT IS UNCLEAR WHAT THE PURPOSE OF 'ISHIDA' HIDDEN IN THE BOOK HOUSE IS, THE BOY DOES NOT WANT TO INVOLVE THE STARS IN THIS TROUBLE, AND PLANS TO WAIT UNTIL HE HAS GATHERED ENOUGH EVIDENCE BEFORE REPORTING THE SITUATION TO THE SUPER-GUTS AND LEAVING IT TO THEM TO DEAL WITH.
"Yes." The boy's answer seemed to be expected by the stars, and when the boy finished speaking, he didn't show a curious look, but turned straight in the boy's surprised gaze and turned back in the direction of the book.
"What are you doing here?!" Zhu Xingzhen's actions caught the boy by surprise, and when he reacted, Zhu Xingzhen had gradually walked away, and the boy didn't think much about it, so he quickly ran to Zhu Xingzhen's side and grabbed him, saying nothing and not letting him continue to walk in the direction of the bookstore.
"Of course, I went to the bookstore to borrow books." The corners of Zhu Xingzhen's mouth, which was tightly held by the boy, raised a faint smile, and he stopped very cooperatively, revealing a natural expression and said to the anxious boy.
"Borrow, borrow??" The boy was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect Zhuxing to answer like this.
"Yes, I didn't expect there to be a bookstore in this place, I just want to borrow a few related books and go back to see it." Zhu Xingzhen confirmed what the boy heard very seriously, and then suddenly said to the boy, "The shopkeeper of the bookstore just now seems to know you, why don't we go to the bookstore together?" ”
The corners of the boy's mouth twitched slightly, and when he heard this, he already understood, Zhu Xingzhen must have heard something from his answer, and now he is forcing himself to tell the truth in this almost tricky way...
"I know..."The boy reluctantly let go of the hand that was gripping Zhu Xingzhen's sleeve, and said with a smile in the face of Zhu Xingzhen's treacherous strategy, "Don't go to the bookstore, I'll tell you what I found..."
Then, the boy reluctantly told how he went to the bookstore to pass the time, and how he discovered the strange phenomenon of the bookstore owner, of course, he would not say anything about running to the bookstore to pass the time because he was afraid of loneliness.
As the boy spoke, the face of Hoshima, who was standing quietly beside him and listening, gradually became solemn, and when he heard that the boy was actually holding only a baseball bat and was going to subdue the shopkeeper 'Ishida', his face suddenly became very exciting.
Trying to subdue the target with just an ordinary baseball bat is nothing short of a fantasy in the eyes of the stars.
Even if the other party is just a normal adult man, it is impossible for him to be subdued head-on with a baseball bat, let alone an unknown lifeform with strange abilities...
"So you're going to use this baseball bat to knock out that guy who is most likely an alien creature?" Zhu Xingzhen looked at the boy with a strange face and asked, I really don't know whether to say that this boy is brave or reckless, if he hadn't discovered it in time, this boy might not have known what would happen now...
"Hmm..."The boy touched his nose in embarrassment, and now that he calmed down, he didn't know where he got his monstrous confidence at that time, and he actually ran to the book store to ambush him with a baseball bat, but now the boy thinks about it and feels very humiliating to this idea...
But fortunately, Zhu Xingzhen didn't use the topic to make fun of him, which made the boy's embarrassment a little lighter.
"Help me get it first." The boy, who had recovered from the embarrassment slightly, suddenly heard Zhu Xingzhen say hello, and before he could react, he found that there was an inexplicable heavy feeling in his hand, and then the thing that was placed in the boy's arms immediately exerted its weight advantage and fell to the ground.
If it weren't for the boy's timely reaction at the critical moment, he quickly squatted down with the momentum of the fall, and the heavy thing would have almost dragged his small body to the ground...
It wasn't until the boy came back to his senses completely that he found out that it was Zhu Xingzhen who put all the bags of mushrooms in his hands into his arms, and the weight of the bags of mushrooms almost crushed him when the boy was caught off guard.
"Hey! After understanding this, the boy immediately turned his head and wanted to question Zhu Xingzhen a few words, but as soon as the words reached his mouth, the boy himself swallowed again.
Because he saw the small communicator that Zhu Xingzhen had taken out of his pocket, the boy who had seen the same type of communicator in the SUPER-GUTS standard equipment related reports naturally knew what it was.
W.I.T Communicator, a small multi-function communicator that can only be equipped by official SUPER-GUTS members!
THE BOY COULD HARDLY BELIEVE HIS EYES, HE DIDN'T EXPECT THAT HE WAS STILL PLANNING TO COLLECT INFORMATION FOR SUPER-GUTS, AND IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE, HE IMMEDIATELY MET THE OFFICIAL MEMBERS OF SUPER-GUTS, WHICH IMMEDIATELY MADE HIM A LITTLE NERVOUS.
"What's wrong? Your face is a little bad~" Laughing at the stunned boy on the side, Zhuxing really shifted his attention to the W.I.T communicator in his hand that had successfully completed the connection, "I'm Zhuxing, is it Mai?" ”
[Yes, this is the SUPER-GUTS operations command room, what's the matter with you?] Star Advisor. The communicator screen shows Mai Midorikawa, who is wearing a SUPER-GUTS uniform, with a slight surprise on her face, as if she is surprised that Allah of the stars has moved to contact SUPER-GUTS.
MAI'S IMPRESSION IS THAT HER IDOL AND BOSS RARELY SEEMS TO CONTACT SUPER-GUTS, BUT WHEN HE DOES, IT USUALLY MEANS THAT HE MAY HAVE DISCOVERED SOMETHING SUSPICIOUS, JUST LIKE THE KIRI ELOD INCIDENT LAST TIME.
Thinking of this, Mai's face tightened, waiting for Zhuxing to really respond.
"A boy and I have discovered something strange, so let the boy tell you the details." Zhu Xingzhen, who didn't know what Mai was thinking, chuckled, and then casually handed the communicator to the boy next to him with a surprised expression.
The boy silently took the communicator handed by Zhu Xingzhen, and felt a little grateful in his heart.
IF THE STARS REALLY SAID THAT THE BOY HIMSELF HAD DISCOVERED SOME STRANGE PHENOMENON, HE MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ATTRACT SUPER-GUTS' ATTENTION, BUT HE SAID THAT THIS STRANGE PHENOMENON WAS DISCOVERED BY HIM AND HIMSELF, SO THE CREDIBILITY OF THE INFORMATION WAS INVISIBLY DEEPENED, ENOUGH TO ATTRACT SUPER-GUTS'S ATTENTION.
But now the boy is more curious about the identity of Zhuxing Zhen in TPC, Zhuxing Advisor? I remember that the report said that the only consultant at TPC was the former director Sawai, when did there be another such young consultant?
The curiosity in his heart did not give the boy too much speculation, for he soon focused his attention on the account of the strange things he had discovered in the book house today.
Since he had already told Zhu Xingzhen just now, the boy's narration was very smooth this time, and after a while, the boy had already told Mai what had happened, and then reluctantly handed back the W.I.T communicator to Zhu Xingzhen who was waiting beside him.
"That's the case, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me. THEN, SUPER-GUTS WILL TAKE CARE OF THE REST. After taking the communicator, Hoshijin briefly summarized the situation, and after receiving Mai's reply, he put the communicator back in his pocket, and then took the bag containing the ingredients from the arms of the boy who was still stunned with a smile on his face.
"If this happens again in the future, remember to report the matter to SUPER-GUTS as soon as possible, instead of acting blindly." Zhu Xingzhen smiled and said to the boy, "Don't worry that information will not be taken seriously because you are a child, SUPER-GUTS will take the information provided by every citizen, whether it is an adult or a child." ”
"Got it..."
Obviously, the boy's words were not taken to heart, but he didn't care about it, he believed that sooner or later, the boy would really understand the meaning of the SUPER-GUTS uniform.
Seeing that the boy was a little absent-minded, Zhu Xingzhen did not plan to continue to stay on the side of the road and chat with the boy, looking up at the sky that had begun to darken, Zhu Xingzhen said to the boy: "It's not early, I'll send you home by the way, don't let your parents worry." ”
"Oh..."Hearing Zhu Xingzhen talk about his parents, the boy's eyes darkened visibly, and after answering casually, he walked forward.
The slight changes in the boy's expression did not escape the eyes of Zhu Xingzhen, but he did not know the boy's family situation, so naturally he had no way to comfort him, so he had to follow the boy and send him home.
Maybe it was Zhu Xingzhen's words just now that made the boy's mood a little low, he didn't pay attention to Zhu Xingzhen all the way, just pillowed his hands behind his head, and walked in front with a muffled voice flicking the baseball bat in his hand, and Zhu Xingzhen didn't bother, quietly followed the boy, and walked all the way to the boy's residence.
The boy's home was not far away, they had reached their destination in less than ten minutes, but the image presented to Zhu Xingzhen made him a little silent, for now he seemed to understand a little why the boy's expression had become so gloomy after hearing him say the word "parents".
I saw the boy standing silently in front of the door of an apartment, it was supposed to be dinner time, the surrounding houses were brightly lit, and from time to time there were laughter of children and their parents and relatives, but only the door of the house where the boy was standing was pitch black, and there was no light at all, like a dead castle, which could not be compared with the other houses next to it.
"I'm home, goodbye..."Seeing the dimly lit apartment, the boy's eyes dimmed again, and the slightest hint of imperceptible hope was gradually buried in his eyes, and he bowed his head to greet the stars and walked to the door of the apartment.
For some reason, the boy's lonely back at the moment caused a touch in the hearts of the stars.
Once upon a time, he was the same as the boy in front of him, every time he went home, he hoped that there would be parents waiting anxiously at home, and when he appeared, he would show a relieved look, and then he tense his face and taught himself to return late...
But unfortunately, he never waited for such a warm scene, and every time he returned to the so-called 'home', only deathly silence awaited him.
Was he the same as the boy in front of him?
Zhu Xingzhen's eyes were slightly in a trance, and then he looked at the boy's lonely back, which seemed to gradually coincide with his past self, all of them were the same loneliness and helplessness.
"Hey," Zhu Xingzhen suddenly called at the boy's back, and when the boy's strange gaze focused on him, he could only see the smile on his face, "You, what's your name?" ”
“... My name is Dahe Wang, and you can call me Dahe. "Boy... Dahe Wang replied expressionlessly, then turned around and continued to walk towards the door.
"Big River?" Seeing that Dahe looked back, he turned around and left, as if he was not in the mood to say anything more to him at this time, Zhu Xingzhen didn't care, and shouted at Dahewang's back again, "Na, Dahe~"
"Huh?" Despite his low mood, Dahe Wang still looked back at Zhu Xingzhen behind him, feeling a little puzzled in his heart.
"Welcome home." Zhu Xingzhen's face softened, and he smiled and said to Dahewang, who was doubting himself in his heart.
“... Shh Da Hewang, who was thinking that Zhu Xing really stopped what he had to say, was slightly stunned when he heard this, and it took a while to react, pretending to be disdainful, turning around and speeding up his pace, and then opened the door and walked into the house.
The lights soon lit up from the dark house, and for some reason, although the hall was still empty in front of him, a soft warmth was ignited in Dahewang's heart at this moment...
