One morning.

The sun hung fiercely high in the sky.

On the banks of a river a little away from the center of Guanbuzi is a large department store that is about to celebrate its ninth anniversary.

Because there is a considerable distance from the station to here, the land price is considered cheap, so this department store can have a large area of land. From a distance, it looks like a castle isolated in the city.

The department store is a modern and functional product exhibition center with a variety of products such as food courts, electrical appliances stores, shoes, clothes, and detergents, and is the lifeblood of the residents of the neighborhood.

As long as you are not too picky about your guests, all your needs can be catered for here.

However, at this point in time, the entire space of the department store seems lifeless compared to the variety of products displayed here.

After all, unlike the shops that are set up in front of the station, this department store is mainly visited by nearby residents, so it is rarely visited by customers before noon.

After all, at this point in time, most residents either haven't gotten off work or are still asleep and haven't woken up.

Especially in such a remote suburb, the pace of life is many times slower than that of the outside world, and everyone's day generally starts after 12 o'clock at noon.

Even now it's summer vacation, and the mornings at this department store are lazy.

Although there are a few sporadic customers inside, the time inside is still disconnected from the outside world, and neither the sound of the car engine nor the shrill siren outside seems to reach everyone's ears.

Because of this, no one noticed that on the third floor of the parking lot next to this department store, there was a discordant suspicious element.

There was no sound in the parking lot, as if it had fallen into complete silence, and the summer sun shone in, giving the ground a mountain-black shadow.

There are only a few trucks parked in this area, and the view is quite limited because of the low ceiling and the pillars and the vehicles.

"Theoretically, I shouldn't have noticed, but the other party should know that I'm in the shadow of a large vehicle on the other end."

Kuramime Ryuxia crouched in the shadow of the vehicle, her eyes widening as she struggled to "look" at the empty place in front of her.

"I still can't see the specifics of his actions, and once I actively look for a future related to him, all future pictures related to him will be darkened, as if they have been swallowed. But...... Enough is enough! ”

Kurami Ryusha had never encountered such a situation, but the wisdom he had gained from growing up through the vision of the future was enough for him to think of the outcome of the solution.

"I installed iron pipes on the roofs of nearby cars, and each iron pipe was stuffed with special gunpowder and about 100 steel balls with a diameter of only a few centimeters, and even the appearance of the iron pipes showed traces to ensure that enough fragments could form after the explosion. In order to maximize the force of the explosion, I sealed the ends of the iron pipe completely. ”

Cangmimu Ruxia's eyes trembled rapidly, and he kept watching the other futures, since direct observation of the other party would be blocked, so he could make indirect predictions by observing the changes in the surrounding environment.

"No problem! All the explosives were in perfect condition, the range of fragments and steel balls could reach more than 10 meters after the explosion of the iron pipe, and in order to ensure that the water did not leak, I also designed it to wrap the trap from three directions, blocking all the places where he could hide.

And it has been confirmed by future vision that the steel balls will never fly to the location where I am hiding, and the only ones who will be affected later are the set area and the car and the cement pillars around the steel balls.

In addition, the formula of the explosives has been improved, and instead of incendiary bombs that mainly cause environmental damage, explosives are specially designed to improve the blasting effect. That way, even if I can't see the future of the other party, I can definitely kill him here! ”

Cangmi Mu Ruxia is very confident, he has calculated several times, and there will definitely be no mistakes.

Future...... It's in his hands!

"Looks like you're ready." The clear voice echoed in the garage, and Kuramime Ryuxia trembled unconsciously after hearing it.

"I didn't expect you to move so quickly, planning three bombing attacks against me in just three days." Zheng Shu's limbs were naturally stretched, and his steps were relaxed in the parking lot.

With his height, his head can barely reach the roof of the parking lot, and the flickering light changes inside the parking lot make his body look terrifying from a distance.

To put it simply, if you put it in Resident Evil, this size is at least a low-level boss.

"I thought these three attacks would give you something, but now it looks like you're on the cusp of something. In that case, I'll give you this last chance, and if you can't kill me this time, then you have to be prepared to withstand my next attack. ”

Zheng Shu's voice continued to echo inside the parking lot, but there was still no response, as if he was the only one in the entire parking lot.

"But I'm also looking forward to what kind of method you will use in your last attack, after all, you have already arrived this time, so you must have come up with a very proud plan here, right?" As he spoke, Zheng Shu's eyes looked at the truck in the distance, intentionally or unintentionally.

Cangmimu Liuxia's concealment is indeed good for ordinary people, but for a strong person like Zheng Shu, the way they observe the enemy is not limited to visual sight.

In his senses, the breath of the other party was as striking as a flame in the darkness.

But Zheng Shu will not expose him.

Because he knew that after three consecutive failures, Kuramimu Ruxia's heart had been seriously shaken.

Although he relied on his natural vision of the future, he has accumulated knowledge and insight far beyond the average level of his age, but after all, he is only a thirteen-year-old child, and there is still a big gap between him and older people in terms of "mentality" and "experience".

Even because of the future, he has far less experience of "failure" than others.

So Zheng Shu was not in a hurry, it didn't take much time anyway, and he wouldn't cause any harm to himself, he didn't mind playing with the other party.

After all, there is still a big gap between the efficiency between having the initiative and wholeheartedly helping to find and being forced to help.

This attack was obviously different from the previous three times, before Cangmi Mu Liuxia let himself hide in a far place and attacked Zheng Shu through remote control.

And this time he was hiding at the scene, and the change in behavior meant a change in psychology, which also meant that Kuramime Ruxia's tolerance for "failure" had reached its limit.

"All or nothing? Sure enough, he is still a child, and his psychological tolerance is quite limited. Zheng Shu thought silently.

And after hearing what Zheng Shu said, Cangmi Mu Liuxia couldn't help but recall the experience of the first three failed attacks, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

In the three days following the hotel bombing, he devised three attacks with all his might.

The first time was at the construction site at night, using bombs similar to flashbangs, restricting the opponent's vision while trying to run them over to death by collapsing equipment.

The second time was near a closed coffee shop, using incendiary bombs similar to landmines. As the other party passed, the surging flames burned to ashes along with the coffee shop.

The third time was next to an abandoned building, using a time bomb to bring it down.

The three bombing attacks all took place in unpopulated places, and only Zheng Shu was targeted, so that not only did there be a lack of witnesses, but also did not cause other casualties, even if the police found out, they would mistakenly think it was an accident.

However, what frightened Kuramime Ryuxia was that every time he thought he would kill the other party, he would be able to meet Zheng Shu unharmed on his way home.

The person who had thought he was dead appeared alive in front of him, and he came to his way home before him, and the unknown fear almost drove Kuramime Ryuxia crazy.

I worked hard to plant the bomb, but I was able to live well every time, and even the most experienced veteran would be unable to hold my breath.

And no matter whether the other party is a human or a ghost, the other party can accurately find his way home three times in a row, which means that his identity has been completely exposed.

No matter what kind of thinking it is, Cangmi Mu Liuxia must kill Zheng Shu.

That's why this time he came to the scene after setting the most perfect trap, because just like Zheng Shu thought, he had already chosen to "take it all".

If he fails this time, Kuramime Ryuxia feels that it is better to honestly go to the other party and kneel down and beg for mercy.

"To be honest, your predictions were quite accurate, and the locations of the three explosions were all places I wanted to go on temporarily. The third time, in particular, I thought of walking into the ruins of the building on a purely impromptu basis, but when I walked into the room on the second floor, I could see that there was an inconspicuous alarm clock on this side, and even the explosion occurred exactly the moment I entered the room. Zheng Shu couldn't help but express his admiration when he said this.

"Being able to achieve this level of accuracy without being able to see me is a pretty good thing for your future vision."

Faced with the secret that he had been hiding in his heart being revealed, Kuramime Ryuxia did not show any special expression, because now his attention was completely on predicting future events.

The other person is very confident and will walk straight to me.

Depending on his speed, he will reach the predetermined location in three seconds, at which point the elevator doors will open.

An elderly couple will come out trembling, and the old man is pushing his wife's wheelchair.

He'd be drawn to the moment, glancing at the elderly couple, and I'd turn on the remote switch at this point in time.

In an instant, the detonator, whose construction was so simple that it was absolutely impossible to make a mistake, ignited the gunpowder.

And after a brief hesitation, the other party will stand up in front of the couple.

In the end, the opponent will be completely unable to dodge, and the steel balls that burst out of the explosion will pierce the whole body, and they will die on the spot.

A series of scenes appeared in front of Cangmimu Ruxia's eyes, some of which were things he had predicted, and some of which were things that he had imagined.

In these three days of observation, he has fully understood the character of this enemy.

The other person is arrogant enough to be dismissive of everything and quite confident in his body.

At the same time, the other party is kind enough and willing to help all those in need with his own gesture.

Kuramime Runatsu's life experience made him unable to understand how anyone could have such contradictory personality traits, but he knew that such a personality trait had saved him a lot of trouble.

Even if he knows that there is a trap in front of him, the other party will not hesitate to step into it, because he is arrogant enough!

In the face of couples in need of help, the other party will not hesitate to help them stand in front of him, because he is kind enough!

Bite!

The crisp sound of the elevator arrival echoed through the entire floor, and the spirit of Cang Mimu Ruxia was also tense to the extreme.

His vision seemed to be split apart into two halves, one half predicted by the future, and the other half by what was happening now.

The moment the elevator door opened, he didn't hesitate to press the switch in his hand.

And then......

There was silence.

What's going on? Why is there no response?

Is there a problem with the leads, or is there a mistake in the modulation process, or is there a malfunction in the remote control?

No! It's impossible!

He had piled together a perfect reality, he had avoided these mistakes, and the future he was ready for had not changed in any way.

However, no matter how Kurami Ruxia denied it, the reality still did not change, and the bomb ignored all the detonation signals and stayed quietly on the roof of the car.

"This ...... No way! Kuramime Ryuxia curled up in horror, like a fetus in his womb, as he was looking for as much security as possible.

A panic struck in his mind, and he shuddered at the fear of the unknown, which he had forgotten for a long time, and perhaps never even existed.

He had even forgotten what he had thought in the first place, intending instead to let his eyes help him find a possibility of escape.

Of course, he didn't see the slightest chance of his successful escape.

"How is that possible?! How can it be?! ”

However, what was fearing in the heart of Ryuxia was not the fear of being killed, but the doubt about this outcome.

Since he was born, Kuramime Ryuxia has had a vision of the future far beyond that of most magicians, and for him, it is a matter of course for him to be able to see the future as normal people can see the world.

He also believed in the future he saw from beginning to end, and was bound by that future.

Because it was an absolute faith, a curse that he would never be able to break free.

So why?! Why did it suddenly collapse at this time?

"Why do I see the future differently?" Looking at the feet that appeared in front of him, Kurami asked with blank eyes.

"What are you talking about? The future is never different, after all, something like the 'future' doesn't exist in the first place, and what doesn't exist can't be controlled. ”

Zheng Shu squatted down and looked at the thin child in front of him with a smile: "How is it?" If you want to have a better grasp of the future, then help me do something, and in return, I can introduce you to people who can teach you how to use the future better. ”

Cang Mimu Liuxia looked up at Zheng Shu and nodded: "Okay!" ”

(PS: That's all, it's been a bit busy these two days.) The water at home is still off, I can't even wash my face, and I can't take a shower on a hot day to kill me. ）
