Chapter 17: Night Festival
Thin snowflakes suddenly floated in the sky, fluttering lightly under the dim street lamps next to the station, like fireflies.
Rin reached out and touched it, but the snow, which should have melted instantly when it came into contact with body temperature, suddenly ignited a small flame.
But before Rin could react, in just a moment, the snowflakes burned out again.
She looked at her palm, there were no scars, no pain.
It seems that the firelight just now is just an illusion.
At this moment, Talos suddenly grabbed Rinrin's hand and pulled her under the bench next to the stop sign to hide.
A thin layer of snow quickly hoarded on the tiny eaves.
"Talos, what is this?"
Although this puppet always has some incomprehensible behaviors, the seriousness in his eyes when encountering things can be clearly perceived by Rinrin.
"This snow was deliberately manipulated by someone to use spiritual power to fall, and once it collides with another foreign spiritual power, it will burn due to repulsion."
Moreover, the more powerful the spiritual power, the easier it is to set yourself on fire. If they stay outside all the time, it is inevitable that something will happen that is out of control.
It's just that the latter words, Talos didn't say it.
Looking at the snow falling from the sky, it seems to be slightly less than before. Sure enough, something strange is happening in this town.
Even, while the festival is lively, I guess I got into the troublesome demons.
Talos Khan was thinking about it, when he saw a brilliant fireworks suddenly explode on the top of the mountain in the distance!
The tiny light of the fire seemed to light up the entire night sky.
"That's where the Night Festival is."
"Hmm." Talos answered.
Rin Rin tilted his head and watched the fireworks in front of him burst into the air one after another, which was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it. A pair of eyes shone with a look of anticipation like a little girl.
Talos looked at her expression, and only felt that the corners of his lips seemed to follow hers, slightly curling slightly.
As an armed doll, can he have the same expression as Rin?
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw that the snow outside seemed to gradually turn smaller with the blooming of fireworks, and finally stopped completely and did not fall.
Seeing that the snow had stopped, Rin grabbed Talos' hand and ran in the direction of the festival.
"Talos, remember, when the festival arrives, you go east and I go ......west," Rin Rin arranged the task with a serious look.
Talos nodded, the first time he had such a serious expression in his memory.
Except, when she talks about making money......
"There should be a fireworks shop on the east and west sides, don't buy anything else, buy all the limited edition fireworks from his house, and then we will gather at the gate in the middle of the festival."
…… Sure enough, it's still because of making money.
"Remember!"
Seeing that Talos looked ignorant, Rin Rin turned around, stared at him with blazing eyes, and repeated it again.
It seems that they have completely forgotten that they came here after receiving a commission from the association.
It wasn't until Talos nodded like a tamed puppy that she was reassured.
The town is best known for its fireworks, and the best of the fireworks is the limited fireworks 'Nightingale', which is only set off at night festivals.
From the moment the first fireworks that lit up the sky bloomed, Rin had already thought of this good opportunity to make money.
If you can buy a 'nightingale' and take it back to resell, you will definitely make a lot of money.
The thought of this made her eyes almost glow with joy.
It's just that I heard that the night festival in the past dynasties was crowded with people, and it was very crowded and lively. Many people squeezed out their shoes and did not necessarily buy a nightingale fireworks.
But when they actually arrived at the gate of the festival, they saw that there were only a few people inside. Even the stalls were unusually deserted.
As planned, they went shopping at the fireworks shop.
And learned from the pyrotechnic master that this night festival was supposed to be held for seven days, but somehow, an unknown black hole suddenly appeared in the deep forest in the backyard where the festival was held.
From time to time, snowflakes fall out of the cave and scatter everywhere.
Direct contact with snowflakes can ignite fires of different sizes. Although it did not cause too much damage, it was still fearful, and few people came to participate in the festival again.
With that, Rin and Talos looked at each other, remembering the snow that had just fallen at the foot of the mountain.
The pyrotechnic master continued. In order to find out where the snow containing spiritual power came from and what the cause was, the demon envoys in the town searched for it one after another, but they were nowhere to be found.
When they were found by others, each of them had burn marks on their bodies that were distinctly different in severity. Although there is still breath, consciousness is no longer clear.
It is precisely because of this that they reported the matter to Yunyin after realizing the seriousness of the matter.
After hearing this, Rin Rin nodded, and casually picked up a piece of shortbread that the pyrotechnic master put on the table and ate it.
After asking for the approximate location, she and Talos headed in the direction of the black hole that the pyrotechnic master had said.
