Chapter 51: The Girl Who Suddenly Appeared in a Crazy Search
The falling meteorite caused a considerable earthquake, and the port was severely affected except for a small area near the coastline, and many houses at the foot of the mountain have sunk in the mountains descending from the landslide.
In addition, the meteorite seems to have split off when it fell, and the only relatively flat area of Rebun Island was ablaze at this time.
Kyogoku Kukai followed the route in his memory and ran quickly towards his home.
Stepping over a collapsed telephone pole, he finally came to the courtyard that originally belonged to the Kyogoku family.
However, the sight in front of him made his eyes split.
Half of the old-fashioned but cozy two-story building had collapsed by this time, and the familiar courtyard of Kyogoku Kukai was now unrecognizable, with the wreckage of the house, the twisted antenna, and even the broken wood and broken rock that had slipped down from the mountain.
Mother Yoshiko's favorite pots of flowers shattered at his feet.
He froze for a moment, then rushed into the rubble.
"Dad! Mother! ”
"Are you there?"
Kyogoku Kukai's face was pale, but the pace of rummaging through the ruins did not stop for a moment.
"System, exchange for miniature detectors!"
"20 points each, do you want to redeem them?"
"Redeem 5!"
He has saved a total of more than 260 points, and he used 50 points before. And now, he still has to leave 100 points to exchange for the highest level of healing potions in the system, and he is worried that the ordinary healing potions rewarded by the system will not be useful.
But he only hoped that his healing medicine would not be useful.
Kyogoku Kukai didn't have the heart to pay attention to the surrounding environment now, and when the points were redeemed, 5 fist-sized detectors appeared in front of him out of thin air.
After receiving the command, the probe stretched out 8 flexible mechanical claws and separated into the ruins.
Five minutes later, the probe returned a message that there were no signs of injury or death in the vicinity.
But Kyogoku Kukai didn't have any joy in his heart, his parents weren't here, and according to Uncle Machida, they might have gone to the foot of the mountain......
He looked at the landslide mountain in the distance with an ugly face, and his molars bit together fiercely.
"Kukai!" The call came, and Jinguji Mio ran over with bodyguards and a rescue team.
The girl gasped, her face was equally pale, and she came up anxiously and asked, "How is it?" Did you find someone? ”
Kyogoku Kukai shook his head silently, he pointed to the foot of the mountain in the distance, his voice dry and hoarse: "Uncle Machida said they might have gone there......"
Jinguji Mio was stunned for a moment, tears rolled in her eyes, and then, she took a deep breath and shouted at the back, "Separate it for me!" The first person to find it will be rewarded with 100 million yen! ”
"Yes, Miss!"
Turning her head, the girl wiped her eyes vigorously, and her face was full of determination: "Uncle and aunt will be fine!" ”
Kyogoku Kukai took a deep look and nodded solemnly.
"Let's go!"
In the dark night of Rebun Island, a group of people began a frantic search.
Due to the complex terrain and the fact that Rebun Island is full of mountain roads, it is extremely difficult to search and rescue them. And for fear of hurting his parents who might be under the wreckage, Kyogoku Kukai did not dare to use violent means to push away all kinds of obstacles.
In addition to searching everywhere himself, he had to let the probe drill through various crevices to find the space that was buried underground.
Next to the shrine, the flower path, and the park at the foot of the mountain, after searching for it again and again, there is still no news.
The sky had gradually turned white, and the busyness of the middle of the night had yielded no results, and everyone's mood became heavier and heavier.
"Mio, you take someone along the coastal road to find another circle, and I'll go to the crash site to see."
Worriedly glancing at Kyogoku Kukai, whose eyes were bloodshot and her lips were chapped, the girl bit her lip and nodded.
Kyogoku Kukai released the detector and walked towards the crash site.
After searching everywhere and still yielding no results, an hour later, Kyogoku Kukai finally came to the site where the meteorite fell.
A large crater appeared before his eyes, charred and black, smoke still rising, and strangely nothing in the center.
The probe was released, and five minutes later, Kyogoku Kukai received the news that the crater was empty.
Without the will to explore, Kyogoku Kukai turned around and left, and now he has only one goal: to find his parents!
Searching in the other direction and descending the mountain, a figure appeared in the distance.
"Kyogoku-kun ......"
"Senpai, why are you here......" What appeared in front of Kyogoku Kukai was Shino Izumi in sportswear.
"I saw the news, and I couldn't get through to your phone, and then I went to your house and there was no one, so I thought you should have replied to Rebun......"
The girl's tone was worried: "Have you found your uncle and aunt?" ”
Kyogoku Kukai shook his head in silence.
Shino Izumi bit her lip slightly, her flat face was full of seriousness at the moment: "Please send me the photo of my uncle and aunt, I have recruited a group of people in the child, and I should be able to help a little." ”
Looking at the girl's serious eyes, Kyogoku Kukai nodded, he would not give up any power that could help him now.
After sending the photo, he said softly: "Thank you very much, senior sister." ”
The girl shook her head: "The top priority is to find someone." ”
There was no other superfluous conversation, and a group of people were once again engaged in the search.
However, until the sky cleared completely, there was still no news.
With so many people, and the detectors of Kyogoku Kukai, they almost searched the southeast side of Rebun Island.
Jinguji Mio had already taken Naoko to the ship harbor on the other side of the island, hoping to find some news there.
Kyogoku Kukai crossed the mountain road alone to the vicinity of Rebun Falls, which belongs to the west coast and is edged by rugged sea cliffs.
Although it is usually deserted, Kyogoku Kukai is not willing to give up any hope.
Mom and Dad may have escaped the landslide and came here.
The area around Rebun Waterfall has also been affected, as the small waterfall has broken in two, and the water has become turbulent.
A probe was released along the vicinity, and Kyogoku Kukai shouted loudly.
"Mom, Dad, are you there?"
"I'm Kukai, are you there!"
His incessant cries went unanswered.
Disappointing, retrieving the detector, which had also been unyielding, he walked along the shoreline towards the pier.
Kyogoku Kukai was going to search all the way through, and then find a ship and go to the northwest of Mt. Rebun to look for it again.
Walking to the vicinity of the Yuandi lampstand, the rapid sound of "Didi" sounded in his head.
A probe has discovered a human being!
The spirit of Kyogoku Kukai was shocked, and the crowd had already gone to a safe place, and there should be no talent here!
The probe transmitted the footage.
On the outermost side of the pier, the surface of the Yuandi lampstand, which had already turned pale red due to the sea breeze, was standing there.
The figure of a woman stood in front of the lampstand.
Kyogoku Kukai pushed closer to the probe's camera.
His brow furrowed deeply.
Hanayamain Chiori? Why she's here.
The girl's long hair was shawl, and her hair and light blue dress danced lightly with the sea breeze, and her face was anxious, and she was holding a piece of cardboard in her hand.
The direction the cardboard is facing is the direction he came.
Kyogoku Kukai pushed the picture closer again, and then his eyes widened and his breath became short.
