The morning alarm went off. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

“――、――...... Brute!"

However, the moment it rang, Qin En burst out at an alarming speed, and then smashed the alarm clock to the ground with a wave of his hand, and the noise finally stopped.

Qin En didn't sleep all night, for the first time, he had insomnia in Gensokyo, his eyes were all bloodshot, and he rolled on the bed all night and never had a good night's sleep.

[Uncle Qin. 】

“――！”

Usa saw that Lianzi's voice suddenly sounded, which made Qin En's spirits lift, but when he opened the door, he saw the empty living room, and the leftovers that he had not eaten since he brought back last night, no one had touched it, and there was no one else except himself.

"Tsk. ”

This is the reality, Qin En recognized the reality, and Usami Renzi was kidnapped...... was kidnapped by the Red Devils and taken away as a blood pig, and there are many, many parents like himself...... In the house next door, Qin En could see the white cloth that had been hung in advance.

It was put on the table after someone in the house died...... The lady of the house changed into a white mourning dress and sat in her courtyard not knowing what to say.

There are more than one like her...... Except for Qin En, most of the missing children or relatives and friends in the family hung white cloths, and no one talked about the Red Devils, and they were all holding silent funerals.

In this moment...... They would rather believe that their children are dead than want their children to live in the Red Devils as blood pigs, which is extremely humiliating. The humiliation that I didn't even dare to imagine.

Qin En sat on the sofa and took out a star from his clothes...... pentagram

[This is your rent, Qin En, if you have any problems in Gensokyo in the future, you can crush this star and be on call. 】

- This is what Marisa Kiriyu once left for herself, saying that if you crush this five-pointed star when you are in trouble, you can call her.

I didn't think it would be possible...... Or thought that it would be used in a dangerous place - I didn't expect it to be at this time, Qin En smiled bitterly, then crushed the pentagram, and sat here quietly, waiting for Marisa to appear.

That is, in about four or five minutes, Qin En saw the light outside the window that was difficult to hide during the day, and Marisa Misty Rain rode a broom, landed on the ground in a very coquettish manner, and came to Qin En's door and pushed the door open.

"Obey your call, and ask me, you are mine...... Wow!"

However, when she saw Qin En's face clearly, Marisa was frightened by Qin En's expression, and then saw people wearing mourning clothes outside, and Marisa, who was nervous, also realized something.

"Sit down, Marisa...... I'll tell you everything. ”

Qin En briefly told Marisa Kiriyu about what happened yesterday.

The disappearance of the lotus seeds, and the disappearance of the children of the human family - of course, at first everyone thought so, but now everyone knows that it is all the fault of the Red Devils.

"No, Patchy, did they go so far!"

Marisa was dumbfounded, and called out someone's name.

This made Qin En's eyebrows happy, it seems that Marisa has some connections there.

"Can you help me bring the lotus seeds back?"

"No problem!"

Although Marisa didn't quite believe in the cold-bloodedness and cruelty of her 'friend's side, she still made a promise to Qin En: "I will bring the little lotus back Da☆Ze!"

Then, Marisa rode away on a broomstick, and Qin En silently watched Marisa's departure, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

He couldn't afford to ask Marisa to bring all the children back, and Qin En was also very selfish, he just hoped that Renzi would come back safely.

Thinking of this, Qin En suddenly felt a wave of fatigue...... Expecting some of Marisa's expectations, he relaxed, lay down on the couch, closed his eyes, and fell asleep...... The snoring was like thunder, and yesterday's events had already made him too tired.

Usa saw that Lianzi slowly opened her eyes, and her consciousness was somewhat sober, but she was confused. The effect of the medicine is still there, which makes her not react for a while...... After waiting for about a long time, Lianzi woke up and sat up from the uncomfortable bed.

She found herself in a strange place, an unusually dark place...... The faint light in the room is almost equal to nothing, and the same is true of the light in the corridor, no glass, no windows, all dark and narrow corridors, which reminds Hasuko of the horror movies she watched with her uncle, and when she looks further inside, Hasuko finds that there is an iron fence - subconsciously the word prison appears in her mind.

Renzi wasn't the first to wake up or the last to wake up, and after her hearing began to regain, she heard creepy voices, boys, girls...... They were all children about her age, and they were all passed from other rooms.

Lianzi was a little scared, the prison, the dark dungeon, the lack of light, the sound of children crying, these overlapping elements made Lianzi have a very terrible picture in her mind, she couldn't help but shrink her body, sit on the hard bunk, hold her legs, and hide her head between her knees. After experiencing Li Si's blow, the little girl has recognized her best efforts, and she has become her original cowardly appearance again.

But even so, Usami Renko did not cry, because at this time there were still pillars of her mind that supported her intellect and spirit.

"Uncle Qin......"

"That should be someone very important to you, right?"

“――、――！”

Renzi was startled, she found that there was an older sister on her bunk that she didn't know, wearing a plaid kimono and rattle-like hair accessories, and a red-eyed sister with dark orange double ponytail hair: at least from the perspective of age, Renzi should call her that.

The girl felt the gaze of the lotus seed, and noticed that the corners of her eyes were not filled with tears like the other children, smiled, then stretched out her hand, and said, "My name is Motoju Kosuzu, the future owner of the book rental house Suzuna-an!"

"My name, Usami Lotus ......" hesitated, but Lotus still held Xiao Suzu's hand, and the palm with a little warmth made Usami Lotus a little relieved.

"You're very strong, Lianzi, you're not crying like everyone else at all—that Uncle Qin in your mouth is someone you trust very much, right?"

Lianzi nodded wordlessly, although she is now in such a place, but Lianzi does not cry like other children at all, which has a lot to do with this.

"It's so good, you can trust adults so much......" Honju Xiaosuzu looked at Usami Renzi with envy, which made Xiaolianzi feel a little proud, and she forgot about her situation for a while, and her mood eased and relaxed a little.

After thinking that she had failed, Usami Renzi finally recognized herself, she was still young, and she had no experience, and she didn't know how to fight against adults at all, at this time she could only rely on adults while trying hard to grow up, which was his way out.

Usami Renko and Motoju Kosuzu just chatted, which seemed a little abnormal in an environment full of crying children, but this abnormality is also a good thing, children always get very ripe very quickly, even if Motoju Kosuzu is older, it is the same, in this kind of environment, how can she not have a shadow in her heart? However, when she found out that her 'roommate' had some kind of strong spiritual support, she had a kind of inquisitive curiosity, which greatly eased the mental condition of the two. This is a great blessing in the midst of misfortune.

Suddenly, there was a booming sound in the building where the children were imprisoned, and the loud noise from above made the children forget to cry, even the Motoju Suzu and Renzi forgot to chat, silently listening to the movement above, many people regarded this abnormal sound as hope, and quietly waited for the changes behind, but it only lasted for a moment, and then there was no more sound, the children were disappointed, but they also forgot to cry, a terrible silence and mental pressure permeated the children, which affected the mood of the two。

"Do you believe that he will come to save you?" Motoju Xiaoling couldn't help but look at Lianzi and ask her about the Uncle Qin in her mouth.

"Yes. Usa saw Lianzi and replied affirmatively, extremely affirmatively.

"Uncle Qin will definitely come to save me, ...... by all means"

"---Lotus seeds!"

In his sleep, Qin En suddenly heard his familiar voice, which made him sit up suddenly...... However, when I opened my eyes again, I saw a disappointing family arrangement. There are no changes to the home arrangement, the room where the lotus seeds are not present.

Qin En was a little funny, he didn't expect that after adopting the little lotus seed, he couldn't stand the emotion of loneliness so quickly? Wiping the cold sweat from his neck, Qin En raised his head and saw Marisa Miriyu, who had not made a sound.

She had already returned, but Lianzi didn't see it, and Qin En also knew what was going on after seeing this scene: especially the unexpected silence and dead silence of Marisa Misty Rain.

"How?"

It's just that Qin En still asked a little unwillingly, but Marisa Misty Rain shook her head with a solemn face, and said, "Pachuali, rejected me." ”

...... How to say this seems to be a confession.

In fact, Marisa also found the whole process incredible, she had the usual way to blast open the walls of the Red Devils, and then go to Pache ...... According to the previous relationship, how many Pachouli should help herself talk about Usami Renzi.

It's just a child, and Marisa just wants a child...... However, even so, she was rejected, and in fact, when Marisa said the name, "Usami Renko", she could feel Pache Li's cold change.

"Usami, Renko, I don't know. That's what Pache said, and not only that, but she couldn't even stop Marisa from probing, and Marisa didn't know why she was so cold...... The coldness was obviously abnormal, as if there was something wrong with the name.

"I was driven out by the Red Devil's maid and Patsy's messenger. ”

Marisa said a little depressed, from beginning to end, she only ran for nothing, even the face of an old friend did not succeed in bringing Usami Renzi out.

Qin En's eyes narrowed, he probably had some idea about this matter: this should be the name of Yusami Renzi, right?Her father had been seriously injured in the Red Devil Pavilion...... Because of these reasons, the Red Devils' blood part-time staff have resigned, and all this problem lies with Usami Renzi's biological father, and I'm afraid the Red Devils also know that this should have something to do with their revenge...... Of course, there are some other possibilities, such as Usami Renzi's blood type that is particularly in line with the appetite of the people inside.

"Qin En, are you okay? Your face is super ugly......"

"I'm fine—"

Qin En staggered to his feet, completely different from what he said so easily, Marisa looked at the man's weak appearance worriedly, and didn't know how to speak. She didn't help at all, and Patchouli unexpectedly didn't sell any face...... The matter of lotus seeds did not help at all, everyone used to live together, so naturally there was a friendship, but at this time...... Marisa really doesn't know what to do.

Declaring war on the Red Devil Pavilion?Marisa's mind is still very normal, she knows her own pounds...... And the Red Devils also have her friends there, and it is impossible to go to war directly.

"-Marisa, could you please take me to the Dream Hall?"

"Isn't that the ...... of the Dream Pavilion?"

"Ah, it's good that you know that...... Marisa, could you please give me a ride with a broom to the Dream Museum?"

Qin En decided to go to the boss of Yuka for help, since Marisa's face didn't work, what about the name of the lord of flowers in the four seasons, Kazami Yuka?

Find the boss to help, and use these names to make the Red Devil Pavilion succumb...... Doesn't it work? I rushed to the Dream Pavilion...... The feeling of flying at high speed on an empty stomach was very painful, and Qin En squatted on the ground and retched for a long time before he could barely lift his spirits and walk.

"Marisa, you wait here for a while. ”

"Okay. ”

Qin En stepped into the Dream Pavilion, Aulenji didn't come out to obstruct it, and she didn't see Ellie's existence in the corridor of the Dream Pavilion, this is not good, do you want me to go through the entire Dream Pavilion to find the boss of Yuxiang?

But Qin En's uneasiness was quickly broken, as if he had expected his appearance a long time ago, and Mengyue appeared in the hall, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time. Should I really be the boss? It seems that I know that Kazami Yuka has figured out what is going on, and the appearance of Mengyue Phantom Moon here must mean that Yuxiang's boss agrees, right? Qin En's heart ignited a glimmer of hope.

However, at this moment, Phantom Moon was a little speechless and stopped, and then sighed heavily: "You go, Qin boy-it's useless, it is impossible for Youxiang to declare war with the Red Devil Pavilion for you and that little girl." ”

“......！”

Hope was extinguished in an instant, and the only remaining hope was extinguished like this...... Qin En's smile froze on his face, and he didn't know how to speak.

The Dream Sisters had no intention of explaining again, Phantom Moon had some unhappy and depressed looks on her face, while Dream Moon had the usual cold look, which didn't even give the last trace of luck.

Boss...... He didn't even show his face, and he didn't give any detailed explanation, Qin En stood here...... Suddenly I felt as cold as falling into an ice cave.

Who else can have a way? Marisa's face Red Devil Pavilion didn't give it, Kazami Yuka refused to stand up for herself, Fujiwara sister red...... Do you want to trouble Master? The result must be the same? First generation...... It didn't help looking for her.

Qin En experienced what is called despair, obviously he was outside the crisis, but he still felt a feeling of powerlessness...... The kind of exhaustion that I don't have any energy in my body and don't know where to start.

Qin En didn't even know how he got out of the Dream Pavilion, and when Marisa saw Qin En's muddy appearance, she knew that she had failed, and even Qin En, who thought she was the biggest backer, didn't come to help, who could do anything.

"Qin En......" Marisa wanted to persuade him, but she didn't know how to say it: how to persuade him? Do you tell him to give up the lotus seed? Does that kind of false comfort really work? No, it can't be, Qin En, a man, will not give luck to others.

"Take me home, Marisa. ”

Eventually, Marisa sent Qin En back to her home, and when Qin En returned home, she only closed the door and Marisa was turned away.

But Marisa didn't feel unhappy about this, she understood what Qin En's current state of mind was, and she also knew this sense of powerlessness, in fact, even Marisa felt a burst of exhaustion. Even if she felt this, then Qin En's mentality would definitely only get worse.

[What do you like?What do you have to protect?]

[Of course I have, that thing is ......]

[I mean, you'd rather sacrifice your life to protect an existence]

"An existence that would rather sacrifice his life than protect...... What?"

Qin En was alone, muttering to himself.
