The population of Katori Town is small, and most of them are elderly.

The Shikatori Festival is probably the most important event in the town, perhaps on a par with the annual New Year's Day.

There are many trees planted on both sides of the street, half of which are fiery maples, and the other half of the trees have already fallen clean, but Gu Bei still knows that this is a cherry blossom variety called "Gao Yuan Xiao Bei'an".

There are three major cherry blossom viewing spots in Japan, but not far from here, Takato Castle Ruins Park, also in Nagano, is planted with these cherry blossoms.

The flowers are smaller and redder than the Yoshino cherry blossoms in Somei, and there are about 1,500 trees in the entire Takato-koji Park, and when they are in full bloom, the entire park is dyed light red.

For this reason, Takato Castle Park has been known as the "No. 1 cherry blossom in the world" since ancient times, and it has also been selected as one of the "Top 100 Cherry Blossom Viewing Places in Japan".

But it's a pity that the flowering period of this flower is in early April, and Gu Bei probably didn't have a chance to see it.

It is worth mentioning that it was Eri who recognized this flower.

The little girl seems to have a special love for cherry blossoms, and there are many flowers that she can't recognize, but she can distinguish the various varieties of cherry blossoms.

Even Gu Bei felt a little incredible.

Along the way, Gu Bei and Eriyi saw a lot of smiling old men picking up a red leaf under the maple tree on the side of the road.

I inquired about it and learned that this was the custom of taking deer sacrifices.

The deer spirit will bring the beautiful cherry blossoms and blazing maple leaves home when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and the maple leaves are in full bloom and the maple leaves are the most enthusiastic.

Gu Bei smiled when he heard this, but Hui Liyi lowered her body, picked a fiery red maple leaf with her heart, and inserted it along Gu Bei's tied hair.

Her jet-black shiny hair suddenly seemed to burst into flames, which was beautiful.

Gu Bei was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Is it good-looking?" ”

Eri nodded: "The deer spirit will definitely bless you." ”

"Nope."

Gu Bei shook his head, stretched out his hand and folded off a piece of maple red like a sunset from the tree, pinning it into the red hair of Painted Liyi, the two reds matched together, but they did not merge, but complemented each other.

Gu Bei grabbed Eriyi's hand: "The deer spirit will bless us." ”

"Hmm."

Eri nodded vigorously.

The two of them wander around town, and there aren't as many fun things to do in Tokyo, but Eri doesn't seem to get tired of wandering around.

The sunset is red, the slanting sunlight casts from the shade of the trees, the two walk hand in hand on the street illuminated by the sunset, the fallen leaves of the maple trees cover the entire street, the red or yellow leaves are so dense that even the bluestone paved ground can not be seen, the two step on this mottled carpet, it seems that they are going to the end of their lives.

The two are handsome men and beautiful women, coupled with the bonus of beautiful scenery, the return rate has skyrocketed, and there is even an elderly couple who came up to ask when they will get married.

Tie the knot?

Gu Bei felt an extreme sense of detachment for a while.

It's not that he doesn't want to marry Eri, it's not that he doesn't like Eri, it's that he hasn't thought about it at all.

From the time crossing to the present, he has tensed himself up very much every moment, except for cultivating, becoming stronger, forming forces, and intriguing, he really doesn't seem to have much time to do other things.

It's like I don't have a love life, I've been worrying about other things, occasionally worrying about emotional things, or helping Lu Mingfei or Chu Zihang or Nuo Nuo.

He always says that others can't recognize his emotions, but when does he understand his emotions?

Even the communication between him and Eri Yi is from afar using a mobile phone as a medium.

Although Eri doesn't mind, she thinks it's very interesting.

But Gu Bei only reacted at this time, this mode of getting along is wrong.

Although it is still a little early to say that love, there is no doubt that he likes Eriyi, but he has not spent as much time with Eriyi as Chu Zihang.

Because in his opinion, there is still a long time between himself and Eri.

When will you graduate......

When will the cultivation be completed......

When will the family be wiped out......

When will the relationship between Inhumans and Half-breeds be dealt with......

There are always endless reasons.

It seems that as long as there are these reasons, the huge proposition of marriage will not fall.

But the reasons will always run out.

When the word "marriage" was firmly placed in front of Gu Bei, Gu Bei felt confused and panicked.

It turns out that even the founder of Everywhere, the bridge connecting Inhumans and half-breeds, and the strong people who can be ranked among the best in the world, will have this kind of mood that can't settle down.

I don't know if Odin and Lu Mingze will be the same.

As if sensing Gu Bei's uneasiness, Eri Yi grabbed Gu Bei's hand and tightened it: "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Bei fell out of his thoughts, looked at Eriyi's worried eyes, and suddenly felt that everything didn't seem to matter anymore.

Liking and love are not important, nor are inhumans, hybrids and dragons are not important, and it is none of their business in the past and in the future!

The important thing is now, and the important thing is that Eri is by his side.

"Nothing."

Gu Bei turned his hand, and the two of them changed from holding hands at the beginning to interlocking their fingers, and Eriyi's hand was very small, so Gu Bei only buckled the first few knuckles.

Eri Yi didn't speak, her fingers scratched on Gu Bei's palm, she seemed to be back to the way she was unable to speak, but now she is far happier than she was at the beginning.

Gu Bei carefully distinguished the words written on the palm of his hand: "Eri Yi will always be." ”

It turned out that this girl noticed Gu Bei's inner panic and suffering, she comforted Gu Bei clumsily in her own way, and hid some small thoughts in her words.

Gu Bei laughed: "I will always be there." ”

The girl who was seen to be careful didn't seem to react, she just took the boy's hand and walked forward slowly, the light of the setting sun slowly faded in Eri's eyes, the huge sun wheel was about to sink below the sea level, the last light burned the clouds in the sky into the color of flames, and in the increasingly dense night, Eri's eyes were brighter than ever.

Eri may still be as innocent as ever, but now she knows that her body shouldn't be seen by other boys, even if that person is his brother; She knew that there were no sea monsters in the sea, no flying robots in the sky, and no death notes that could casually write a dead person; She knew that the world was not a small room, but big, big and boundless......

But there's still a lot she doesn't know.

She doesn't know what she likes and what love is, she doesn't know what the result represents, she doesn't know why people get old, and she doesn't know what a lifetime commitment is.

She only felt that her face suddenly became a little hot, and her heartbeat suddenly increased, as if the dragon's blood had been out of control countless times.

But this time, the dragon blood in the body was exceptionally obedient, exuding a warm feeling.

Are you sick?

She didn't know it herself.

It would be nice if we could go on like this forever - Eri sincerely hopes.

"Did you see that?"

Mai looked in the scope at the two men strolling down the street holding hands, their silhouettes looking like sculptures under the black sky.

"The resolution is a bit low and I can't see it clearly...... However, this does not prevent me from eating a large bowl of dog food. Su Enxi's voice came from the earphones, "Obviously, the enemy may hit the door at any time, but they still have the kung fu to fall in love?" This attitude of impatience ...... Should I say that I really deserve to be the boss of everything, and I have absolute confidence in my own strength? ”

"Who knows...... This guy won't lose anyway, unless Odin comes here to snipe him. Jiude Mai recalled Gu Bei's unfathomable strength, "Do you think the people of the Menggui people will still come?" Don't they have brains? This guy knows that he can't beat it with his eyes, right? ”

"If you swear again, the boss will deduct your salary."

"Do I still have a salary to deduct this month?"

“……”

About two kilometers away from the town, halfway up the mountain, in the stands used to monitor forest fires, Mai Jiude, dressed in black, knelt on one knee and carried an AS50 equipped with an infrared sight.

From the infrared scope, she can move back and forth in all corners of the town at will, one second she is still watching pure love romance dramas, and the next second the camera turns to the hot-blooded gangster channel.

Dressed in a black coat, Genjisheng and Sakura are evacuated from the edge of the town to prevent casualties in the ensuing battle.

She wasn't worried that Yuan Zhisheng would find that at such a distance, with the effect of "Dark Light", she could be completely hidden in the dark.

But Gen Zhisheng's intuition was so strong that she was a little surprised, and looking at Gen Zhisheng's expression, it was obvious that she realized that there were stalkers around.

As for Gu Bei......

Jiude Mai suspected that this thing might have discovered her existence in the first place, and even guessed her identity, otherwise why did he make a "V" to this side just now? Isn't it a selfie?

At this time, Su Enxi began to answer the question that Jiude Mai had just asked: "It's not that they don't have brains, but they have to come, this is Yangmou." ”

"According to the boss, the little monster is a very important part of the plan of the ghosts, it is similar to the existence of the key, and it is absolutely impossible to give up, but if you look for a replacement, it will take more than ten years, so the cost will be too high, it is better to take a risk, snatch food from the hands of Gu Bei, a roadblocker, and by the way, you can also work hard to get rid of this roadblock...... Besides, the ghosts are not completely without opportunities. ”

There was a rustling sound in the headphones, and Su Enxi was waiting for news from Tokyo, 200 kilometers away, and the boss would access it at any time.

"Tsk, your heart is so dirty when you play tactics."

Jiude Mai turned her gun to the street, first aiming at Gu Bei's vest, this guy was walking slowly in a yukata, like an uncle walking in the park after eating enough.

Gu Bei is not her stated target, but ace snipers have a similar habit, locking all moving targets one by one with the muzzle of the gun, remembering the location of these targets, the battlefield changes rapidly, and sometimes irrelevant people and others will suddenly become targets that need to be hunted first.

She then locked her gun at the back of Eri's head, the dense pillars on the platform somewhat obstructed her vision, but with the power of the AS50, she could have shot through the pillars and hit Eri's head.

Her spear is filled with bullets sharpened from the Philosopher's Stone, which can be lethal to high-level hybrids and even dragonlords.

"At a distance of 983 meters, the wind direction is from west to east, the wind speed is 3.4 meters per second, the air humidity is 45, there is a light fog on the sea, and the visibility will be slightly reduced...... The target is completely locked on......"

Before she finished speaking, she saw Gu Beiruo looking at this side, so she quickly deflected the muzzle.

"Do I really want to target her? I always feel like I won't be able to get out of Shikatori Town with this shot. ”

Mai whispered.

"Just in case," Su Enxi explained, "Although Gu Bei suppressed the bloodline of the little monster, according to the boss, the loss of control of the little monster may be artificially manipulated, and if this happens, we can only ......"

"The reason is very valid, but I always feel that it is difficult to convince the big bad wolf to spare my life."

Jiude Mai felt a tingling in her eyebrows, she knew that this was some cautious guy who locked herself, and she was suddenly a little helpless.

"That's just an accident, if everything goes well, you just need to watch the show on the side," there was a creaky of potato chips being chewed across the headphones, "Besides, you're not the first insurance arranged by the boss, isn't the little white rabbit also there, don't you think he's really just here to participate in a club team building, right?" ”

Jiude Mai was stunned for a moment: "I really think so......"

"How is that possible! The boss cut a lot of meat to let the little white rabbit come here in a circle, otherwise the little white rabbit should still be in the country every day with his undercover girlfriend good morning and good night. ”

“…… The boss really took a lot of pains. ”

Su Enxi agreed very much: "I don't know why, since the last time you sent the information to Gu Bei, the boss has paid special attention to Gu Bei's movements, and not only the boss, but even the guy Sanwu is a little wrong, she also applied for transfer this mission, but the boss didn't agree." ”

"I don't want any tasks, I haven't had a vacation for two months!"

Jiude Mai finally felt the absurdity of the world: "Anyway, when will Sanwu take the initiative to apply for a task?" ”

"That's what I'm saying, Sanwu seems to be very interested in this task, so I told her again and she ran to the boss, and I was beaten down by the boss."

"Hahahaha, you also have today!"

Jiude Mai gloated and was laughing, but suddenly felt a gust of wind behind her, rolled on the spot, and dodged three flying knives.

A female ninja in light armor stepped out of the hazy woods of the night, her short knife unsheathed.

The three powerful cadres under the young master of the eight families of the snake are losing the cherry blossoms, and they are involved!

But...... Wasn't she still with Yuan Zhisheng just now? How did you find this place so quickly?

It's just that Sakura didn't give her time to think about it, and she didn't even ask her identity, so she rushed up with a knife.

There is no need to ask now......

Because after catching the other person, you can ask whatever you want!
