After being silent for a long time, Ge Yejing nodded again and said a soft "um", affirming Tokiwa Shogo's question.

Then, she took a deep breath and exhaled, the corners of her mouth tugging, as if trying to laugh a little, so that the atmosphere would not become so solemn, as she had done in the face of the reassurance of her friends.

But obviously, this time, Ge Yejing failed.

Is it because you heard the news from people other than Goji Dance that Kazuha Hongtai might be in the Heim Underworld Forest?

Is it because this time I haven't been mentally prepared in advance, so I heard about Ge Ye Hongtai from the mouth of a stranger, Shogo Tokiwa?

in a word

The smile that appeared on Ge Yejing's face now seemed so reluctant, so ugly, and so ...... to the three of them Sadness.

Oh, yes

If she could really let this thing go,

How could she hold those missing person notices and post them everywhere in Sawaya City,

Five years?

Shogo Tsukiwa opened his mouth, and suddenly he was a little speechless.

Seriously, if Ge Yejing clearly revealed his sadness directly, Tokiwa Shogo would not be like this, but Ge Yejing's approach was the opposite.

Faced with the current situation, her first reaction was not to immerse herself in grief alone, but to try to hide her grief, and then wait until no one was around, and bear everything herself.

Because she doesn't want her grief to affect others.

And that's what made Shogo Tokiwa really stop.

What a gentle man......

Chang Pan Zhuangwu looked at Ge Yejing speechless for a moment, and said apologetically:

“…… I'm sorry. ”

That being said,

But he didn't regret asking those questions.

In the same way, he would not doubt the necessity of gaining Ge Yejing's trust.

He just, suddenly, a little unbearable.

And the only thing he can compensate Ge Yejing for is ......

"Don't worry, I'll definitely bring Mr. Kotai back to you!"

Hearing this, Ge Yejing froze instantly, and the expression that could still hold on a little immediately collapsed, and tears slipped down her face.

"Really...... Are you sure? ”

When she came back to her senses, she immediately asked.

At the same time, surprise, apprehension, unease...... All kinds of emotions are manifested on the face, and so on.

She wanted to believe Tsukiwa Shogo's words, but she didn't dare to believe it, afraid that it would still be just a void in the end.

In this regard, Chang Panzhuang looked at Ge Yejing's eyes intently, and affirmed without hesitation:

"Of course, I promise! This is the king's promise, and it will be fulfilled! ”

Ge Yejing, whose expression gradually improved, wiped his tears with the back of his hand, and asked with a crying smile in his voice:

"The King's Promise? What is that...... Ah, is it because you're a member of the Demon King's Detective Agency? ”

"No!"

Shogo Tsukiwa shook his head and explained seriously.

"It's because my dream is to be king!"

When Yue Yue heard this, he immediately raised his forehead and sighed.

"Alas~~ It's started again."

Gates snorted reflexively and pouted, "Heh, Demon King." ”

Ge Yejing: "......"

Ge Yejing looked at the three people in front of her speechlessly, thinking...... And don't you say it's because you're a member of the Demon King's Detective Agency!?

And being looked at by Ge Yejing like this, Chang Pan Shogo, who was really explaining seriously, felt very entangled, but he decided not to say it.

Because he saw that after such a beating, Ge Yejing's expression no longer had the kind of distress that made people feel like their hearts were being pinched up at a glance.

Forget it, that's what I owe her...... Who told me to pour salt on their wounds first?

Thinking like this, Chang Pan Shogo rubbed his face, and after Ge Yejing's mood was almost stable, he grabbed a handful of salt from the salt bag and carefully sprinkled it.

"Miss Ge Ye, can you tell us everything you know about the disappearance of Mr. Hongtai and the Armor Warriors?"

The salt fell from the wound, but this time, Ge Yejing's expression looked much better.

Because at this time, she has hope in her heart, with a hint of lightness, rather than being surrounded by a heavy haze, so although the wound will inevitably feel pain, she will not be as sad as before now.

She nodded, and after gathering her thoughts a little, she began to tell the three of them about it.

"On the day of Hongtai's disappearance, Xiao Wu suddenly came to my house to look for me......"

……

……

Kudzu Ye family.

Knock Knock Knock –

A hurried knock on the door suddenly sounded, making Ge Yejing, who was preparing dinner, hurriedly walk out of the kitchen and towards the door.

"Come on, come on, what's your ...... Xiao Wu? ”

When all the doors were opened, revealing Gao Siwu with an anxious face in front of the door, Ge Yejing was obviously stunned.

"How do you ......"

Before Ge Yejing could continue to ask anything, Gao Siwu had already asked urgently:

"Sister, take care of him...... Is he back? ”

Mai Takaji's hands were clasped tightly together, and her face was full of nervousness, anxiety, apprehension, and uneasiness......

And when she heard Ge Yejing answer "no", tears flowed down instantly.

"I see...... I...... I'll look for it again! ”

Gao Siwu bowed deeply to Ge Yejing, turned around and was about to leave, but was immediately stopped by Ge Yejing.

"Wait a minute, Xiao Wu!"

Gao Siwu's performance just now gave Ge Yejing a very bad premonition, and let her grasp the fingers of Gao Siwu's arm involuntarily exert force, leaving a deep dent on Gao Siwu's arm.

But this point, whether it is Ge Yejing or Gao Siwu at this time, they have no time to take care of it because of the anxiety in their hearts.

"What the hell is going on?"

Ge Yejing looked at Gao Siwu and asked quickly.

Gao Siwu bit her lower lip tightly, and after a moment of silence, she turned around and bent down deeply towards Ge Yejing again.

"I'm sorry, sister, I'm sorry...... I shouldn't have left, I shouldn't have gone, and when I went back to look for him, he was gone, I couldn't find him, I couldn't find him anywhere...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......"

Gao Si Wu kept a bowing posture and replied to Ge Yejing, and tears continued to splash on the ground.

And Ge Yejing listened, and the palm that was grasping Gao Siwu's arm had been loosened unconsciously.

"Small, Little Dance ......"

She looked at Takaji in disbelief.

Although the logic in Gao Siwu's words was still a little confusing, it didn't prevent Ge Yejing from extracting the information she wanted to know from it.

"You mean, kill him...... Missing? ”

“…… I'm sorry. ”

Mai Takashi didn't give any positive answers, but her apology was enough to "answer" everything.

Click!

Ge Yejing's body couldn't help but stumble backwards.

"Sister!"

Gao Siwu, who heard this strange noise, looked up and hurriedly stepped forward to support Ge Yejing.

"Little Dance ......"

Ge Yejing turned her head to look at Gao Siwu, she wanted to ask, "Are you kidding?" "Is this a new type of prank that you discussed with Hongtai? But after seeing Gao Siwu's flowery face covered with tears, Ge Yejing couldn't ask anything.

She took a deep breath to force herself up.

"I'm fine, Xiao Wu...... I'm fine. ”

Ge Yejing stood up again, wiped off her somewhat moist cheeks, and once again, asked Gao Siwu a question that she had already asked before.

"What the hell happened?"

Ge Yejing held Gao Si Wu's hand and tried to transfer the power to Gao Si Wu to calm down.

"Xiao Wu, don't worry, come in and talk slowly."

Ge Yejing's temperature was transmitted through the clasped hands, gradually calming Gao Siwu's flustered heart.

Gao Siwu's incomparably cold hands finally began to warm up, and while being pulled back to the house by Ge Yejing, he said with a hint of trilling in his voice:

"This afternoon, both Kotai and I received an email from Yuya, saying that he had got something very interesting and wanted us to take a look at it, so we met up at Warehouse Street at four o'clock."

As he spoke, Gao Siwu took out his mobile phone and clicked on it, showing the email to Ge Yejing.

At the bottom of that email, there was a photograph of something resembling a belt buckle.

It was the "interesting thing" that Yuya Kakuju wanted Kakuba to see and Mai Takaji, and it was also the "secret weapon" referred to in the email title.

Ge Yejing's eyebrows furrowed.

Based on what she had learned about the recent situation of the Armored Martial Arts Team from Ge Yehongtai's casual chat, as well as the identity of the captain of the Kakuju Yuya Armored Forces, Ge Yejing quickly guessed what the thing in the photo was used for.

Outlander Game ......

A confrontation game that I don't know who created it, and suddenly became popular on the streets.

These thoughts flashed subconsciously in her mind, and she threw them aside.

There was only one thing she wanted to know now, from beginning to end!

"Did you see Hongtai there?"

"yes, I see." Gao Simai nodded.

"However, none of us met Yuya who had made an appointment with us."

Gao Siwu told Ge Yejing that she and Ge Yehong waited in place for a while, and after finding that they couldn't contact Kakuju Yuya, they began to look for it in the warehouse street.

And then......

"We found a crack in the wall of a warehouse like a door, and behind the crack was a forest full of exotic plants, and we ...... him."

After a pause, Gao Si Mai changed his words.

"Out of curiosity, we went into the forest in the crevasse, and it turned out that it looked like a lair of outlanders.

Later, we are chased by a green tiger-type monster, and in the process of evading, we find the thing that Yuya wants us to see.

However, we didn't have time to go to Yuya, because the green tiger-type monster was already chasing after us.

Soon after escaping with me through the crack in my possession, he separated from me and went to get the monster's attention himself.

He told me to find someone to help, and I did, but, but ......."

Speaking of this, Gao Si Mai's expression became irrepressibly angry, annoyed, and frustrated.

"No one wants to believe my words, no one wants to help, and by the time I rush back, whether it's Hongtai, or the monster, or that crack, it's all gone......"

……

……

Ge Yejing's narration of the three of them continued.

“…… Xiao Wu and I went to Warehouse Street several times to look for it, but we still didn't find anything. The crack was surrounded by scorch marks, as if someone had burned it over fire.

According to Xiao Wu, the burned piece used to have the same strange plants as the forest in the crack.

Considering the relationship between the forest and the Outlander game, we went to the Locktrader again, but the Locksmith pushed the matter off and used the same rhetoric as the policemen when we went to the Metropolitan Police Department to report the crime, as if they had gone through the same training. ”

Ge Yejing gritted her teeth and said hatefully, exhaled, and continued:

"Xiao Wu is a very strong and good girl, even after a very sad thing, after the initial panic, what she thinks about is not how to escape, but to face it positively.

As an adult, of course, I can't just regress!

I made an agreement with Xiao Wu that I must find another strange crack that leads to that forest, whether it is to take pictures as evidence, or to go in and find Kotai and Yuya.

The next day, I searched with Xiao Wu for a day, but I still didn't find anything, but that night, there was a disappearance of a member of the Armored Forces.

Then, on the third day, Xiao Wu ......"
