CHAPTER XVII
After lunch, when the proprietress began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, there was a crisp sound of bells ringing from the outer coast, which was very noticeable.
"Is there a clock over there?" Xia Long looked at the proprietress in confusion, the coast here is not too big, and he has not seen anything related to the bell.
The proprietress also shook her head in confusion: "I don't know either, strange, maybe there is some activity." ”
Xia Long frowned slightly, and walked out of the door consciously, and suddenly a strange aura of energy appeared in the sense.
"What is this?"
The time of the town seems to be affected by the unknown energy and fell into chaos, only to walk out of the homestay, Xia Long's vision has changed greatly, and the surroundings have become an ancient village in the back of time, except for the vaguely similar terrain, the entire town has disappeared, only a small grass hut mud brick house, and even the homestay behind him has disappeared.
Xia Long stepped on the sandy ground, and after a few steps forward, the town was back in front of him, but the strange energy still didn't disappear.
Sensing the direction slightly, Xia Long walked in the direction where the energy came from.
There are not many places where time is affected, and it is often possible to get out of trouble by running a certain distance, but it still causes a lot of chaos.
"What the hell is going on?"
Xia Long's figure flickered repeatedly, and after passing through an alley, he met a woman in a long white dress.
The woman's face was beautiful, her long hair was draped behind her, she walked slowly barefoot, her white shadow was incompatible with the surrounding town buildings, and a strange aura loomed on her body, which was exactly the same as the energy that caused the chaos of time.
"What are you doing?" Xia Long stopped in the middle of the road.
The woman stopped her figure and looked coldly ahead, and her eyes fell on Xia Long for a while: "I'm looking for someone." ”
"Looking for someone?"
Xia Long looked at the crowd of people who were taking refuge on the other side, and said with a headache: "You make me very embarrassed like this, who are you looking for?" ”
"A man who broke his word."
"Hey, it's dangerous here, get out of here!" Shima hurriedly ran back and forth on the street to guide the residents, and when he saw Xia Long, he immediately waved and shouted, "Ma-Natsu-kun, go to the station first......
Before he finished speaking, Shima suddenly looked at the back of the woman in white in a daze, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly ran to the front and said in surprise: "Zhenxiajun, do you know this girl?" ”
Xia Long didn't bother to ask the woman again, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just see that she is here alone, as if she has encountered some trouble." ”
"Actually, I found her on the beach just now," Shima glanced at the woman with a complicated look and nodded at Xia Long, "I'll leave her to me, Manatsu-kun, you hurry up and take refuge." ”
"I'm sorry for you."
Xia Long let go of his figure, and when he passed by the woman, he silently said, "I will help you find someone, don't mess around again." ”
The woman's expression changed slightly, and she looked back at Xia Long leaving, and a trace of undetectable doubt flashed in her cold eyes.
……
Night, Nishizaki General Hospital.
Xia Long walked to the front of the hospital and stood at the door for a while before stepping in.
After separating from the woman in white, the temporal anomaly in Dragon Palace City also disappeared, causing no casualties, and the town returned to normal, as if everything before was just an illusion.
However, Xia Long has not been idle, through the woman's words, the first thing he thought of was the strange old man he met when he was fishing during the day, and after looking for it, he learned that the old man was sent to the hospital by the Ultra guards.
"I can't believe he's still moving," the doctor shook his head as he walked out of the room and met Feng Sen waiting in the aisle, "from a medical point of view, he's dead." ”
"Dead?"
"Anyway, I'll help him with further tests tomorrow."
The doctor nodded at Feng Sen, groaned and led the nurse past Xia Long and left.
"True Xia-kun?" Feng Sen saw Xia Long and said unexpectedly, "Why did you come here?" ”
"Because I promised to help find someone," Xia Long walked to the door of the ward and asked casually, "Do you know the origin of this old man?" ”
Feng Sen said in a deep voice: "I don't know, but he said that he came from a far away village, by the way, that village suddenly appeared here during the day." ”
"That should be the village of this place, the village of a long time ago, someone brought the past time here."
Xia Long walked into the ward first and looked at the old man who was lying unconscious on the hospital bed.
"Breathing and pulse are unusually slow," Feng Sen stepped forward and turned back into the appearance of the star cluster, "Actually, when I saw this old man for the first time today, I thought it was strange. ”
The star clusters walked to the side of the bed, opened the old man's right palm, and looked at the two round hole-shaped wounds on the old man's palm: "This wound ......"
"Leave this man alone, Oteseven!" A man in a suit suddenly appeared at the door, alerting the star clusters.
"Who are you?" Tuan asked, looking directly at the man.
"I am the one who connects two different worlds, two worlds at different times."
The man entered the ward, his eyes paused on Xia Long, and he turned to the star clusters and said, "Listen, today is just the beginning, and the past time will definitely flow into this place again." ”
"Did you do it during the day?" The clusters frowned.
"It's not me," the man walked to the bedside, "if this man can't remember about the promise next time, time in this place will completely collapse, you are as helpless as I am about it, everything depends on this man, and it will be in vain if you want to help him." ”
Hearing this, Xia Long asked, "What is the promise you are talking about?" ”
The man looked at Xia Long vigilantly, said nothing, suddenly turned around and ran out of the ward in silence.
"Wait......"
"Don't run!"
Without waiting for Xia Long's movements, the star clusters had already chased after him.
Shaking his head, Xia Long turned to the old man on the hospital bed.
If there is no accident, the old man should be the person the woman in white is looking for, but why is he looking for such a strange old man......
"Wind-Forest?"
In the aisle outside, Sai Wen lost his target, and after turning back into Kazemori Zhenghui, he returned to the ward with a solemn face, and happened to meet the members of the garrison team in the United States.
"What's wrong with you? The expression is so serious. Rumi said strangely.
"Ah, it's fine."
"I'm here to bring you supper, you must be starving from staying in the hospital."
Xia Long glanced outside, left the old man and walked out of the ward, and said, "Feng Sen-kun, I'll go back first, if there is anything to do with the homestay Zhuang Nosuke on the other side of the coast to come to me." ”
"Could it be that you are the real Xia Jun?" Rumi stared at Xia Long curiously, "I'm Rumi of the Otto Garrison." ”
"Hello," Xia Long hesitated, "Why, you all seem to know me?" ”
"Because you're a good friend of Feng Sen," Rumi smiled awkwardly and lifted the supper in her hand, "Wait a minute, I'll buy another one." ”
"No need, you can eat."
Xia Long closed the door of the ward, nodded, and left the hospital directly.
