"Beware of the remnants tonight?"

This sentence made Lin Yun's work all afternoon a little uneasy.

For no other reason, because the sentence reveals so much information that he can't dismiss it as a simple harassing phone call or a prank.

His daughter is a magical girl, and no one else should know about this at all now except for himself and Hong Siyu; As for the fact that he himself used to be a magical girl, I'm afraid only a few people know about it. What's more, he can confirm that the only person who knows this information is his own companion, or a former companion.

So, could this call be from Hongsihe?

There is a possibility, but what reason does she have to pretend to be a ghost and make such a call anonymously? As an official, Hong Sihe promised him that he would take more care of his daughter, and this kind of topic can be put on the table.

Adhering to the attitude of believing it rather than believing it, he sent a message to Hong Sihe:

[You called me?] 】

【？ This is the other party's reply.

It doesn't seem to be her.

Several candidates were crossed in his mind, and they were rejected one by one, but Lin Yun still didn't find a clue.

So, is it just a mischievous call?

This possibility is actually not small, and it can even be said to be very large, after all, many of the scam calls in these years are this kind of routine, even if it is nonsense, but as long as you try enough objects, you will always meet a few people who believe it to be true for various reasons.

Lin Yun wanted to convince himself with this, but his heart was not calm.

And just like that, the time came in the evening. He looked at him with a heavy heart and was seen by his subordinates who had worked with him all the year round, and he made a special trip to ask him if he had encountered any trouble, Lin Yun shook his head, and did not share this topic that sounded like hysteria with the other party.

Taking the tram and not returning home until dark, Lin Yun looked at the shoe cabinet in the entrance with concern, and he must have thought that his daughter's shoes were already there. crossed the living room, saw the dishes and chopsticks that had been washed in the kitchen sink, walked to the door of his daughter's room, and saw the light shining through the crack in the door, all kinds of signs showed that Lin Xiaolu was still at home.

This made Lin Yun somewhat relieved.

Even if there are any dangerous remnants, as long as the daughter is still at home, it means that her safety is guaranteed.

What's more, there is such a thing as a cruel beast, and there is no reason for Hong Sihe not to inform him.

With a strange mood, Lin Yun finished dinner, walked into the study, and began to deal with the unfinished work in the company. Outside of work, he has also kept a certain amount of attention to his daughter's room to ensure that there will be no situation where Lin Xiaolu sneaks out but he doesn't know about it.

Until midnight, nothing unusual was noticed. When the clock pointed to 12 o'clock, Lin Yun, who had worked hard all day, felt that it was really difficult for him to stay awake, so he lay down on the bed after a long wait and fell asleep.

In a haze, he didn't know how much time had passed.

Only for a moment, he seemed to hear something strange.

So, in the darkness, Lin Yun woke up from the bed.

His heart beat inexplicably, his breathing became rapid, he didn't remember if he had a dream, but after waking up, it seemed that even his mood had become a lot worse.

When I picked up my phone in the dark, the screen lit up, and the time display was 2:10.

Obviously, he had just woken up, but after figuring out the situation, Lin Yun felt that there was a very strong premonition in his heart.

The premonition was so strong that it seemed so familiar to him that he remembered for a moment when the last time something like this had happened.

—the day his wife died.

“…… Impossible, right? ”

The words came out of his mouth with a kind of uncertainty that even he could hear.

Lin Yun stepped off the bed, hurriedly opened the bedroom door, and looked in the direction of his daughter's room. Unable to care about any taboos or hesitations, he hurried to the door of his room and knocked on it.

Nothing happened.

Lin Yun was not discouraged, just knocked on the door repeatedly, knocking more and more, and the empty knocking echoed in the dark corridor, but still did not get any response.

"Impossible, right?" He repeated the phrase again.

Glancing at the door and the note that was blurred in the night, Lin Yun gritted his teeth and directly began to twist the doorknob.

Creak.

The door is locked.

He didn't know if his daughter's door was locked on weekdays, after all, he had never tried to open the door, but now, this situation had to make him have some negative associations.

Did she sneak out alone?

Picking up his phone, he began to dial Hong Sihe's phone, but the answer he got was "no one answered".

Clicking on the search engine, he began to type in keywords such as "Fangting City" and "Remnant Beast", but it was still like looking for a needle in a haystack, and even last week's events had been covered by various new hot spots, and there was no news.

It seemed that in an instant, all the coincidences collided together, and he suddenly lost all clues about the movements of the remnant beast in Fang Ting City.

Naturally, he also lost all control over his daughter's movements.

He tried to calm himself down, telling himself that no one was opening the door and that it wasn't his daughter who ran out in the early hours of the morning to deal with the beasts. It's just that his daughter hates him as always, and he doesn't want to deal with the neurotic dad who came to knock on the door inexplicably in the middle of the night, this explanation is actually very reasonable, and it is much more reasonable than the unwarranted speculation in his mind now.

It's just that he inexplicably believes in the premonition in his heart.

So he looked at his call log, the second page, the third from the bottom. It was noon, and the number that came suddenly and was completely unfamiliar.

His finger hovered over the option for a long time, and he pressed the number with some anticipation.

I can dial through.

It made his breath stagnant.

Every second of the standby sound in the call seemed to be as long as a century, listening to the long tone of "beep-beep-", Lin Yun clenched the communicator.

Then, the opposite side was connected.

"Hiss".

It's still a thick cacophony.

As if the signal had been severely disturbed, the sound of the call was intermittent, hitting Lin Yun's eardrums, and then, until a certain point in time, all the noise dissipated.

"On the outskirts of the city, wetland parks."

In just a few words, the call was hung up.

The surroundings were quiet again, as if it were still that ordinary night.

Putting down the phone, Lin Yun turned his head to look at the living room in the house, only to see the faint moonlight smearing a hazy white glow on the ground, bright and quiet, plain and peaceful. It seemed to be another image, another voice in his heart, telling him at this node, "Don't go."

Once he stepped out of the house now, the things he had worked so hard to maintain with so many sacrifices would no longer exist.

It's just that for Lin Yun, this kind of decision is meaningless. When the safety of the child is put on the scale, the chips on the other side of the scale have long been irrelevant.

With a step, he rushed out of the house almost as fast as he could.

Opening the door of the SUV that he hadn't opened for a long time, he slammed the car keys on. Then, with a roar, he rushed onto the highway with the horsepower of the speed limit in the far supermarket.

"I have to go."

As if he was instilling some kind of concept in himself, he said to himself.

Now, he can even feel the flow of his own blood, rushing straight to the buzzing of his brain.

The speed of the car was still increasing, and he stepped on the accelerator to the extreme of controllability with a speed comparable to that of a drag racer, and ran all the way through the unknown number of signal lights. Whether it's a violation or a car accident, these risks are not worth mentioning at this moment, because he knows that no matter what, he must go to his daughter first.

He took the flower of his heart that had been dormant, and although he had tried before, he had not been able to transform into a magical girl, but he still had some kind of unrealistic hope.

Or rather, there was an idea in the dark that told him that he could do it this time.

The distracting thoughts in his mind have long been messed up, and he can't tell his current state clearly, chaotic feelings, memories, and high physical tension make his thinking illogical.

The only clear thought is "I don't want my daughter to have an accident".
