Click, click, click.

Something was heard in the darkness.

Kiln, Kiln.

The subtle and chaotic sound never stops.

The delphinium stood in the middle of an empty hall, looking around in a bit of confusion.

Why are you here?

She felt that her memory was a little blurry, and her consciousness was not very clear, as if she was in a fantasy world, but the feeling was so real.

Taking a step forward, the crunch of the heel smashing on the ground reverberated in all directions, and the invisible sound waves echoed and dispersed the chaotic sound.

After a brief silence, it was replaced by some kind of whispering voice.

The delphinium could not hear the source of the sound, and there seemed to be men and women, young and old, but the only thing they had in common was that they were all laughing.

The sound of snickering and the echo of footsteps mingled together, overlapping and repeating, and the sound gradually became sharper, and finally formed a kind of harsh noise.

The noise swirled and slammed into her ears, as if it were about to pierce the delphinium's eardrums, causing a severe headache.

This real pain made the delphinium frown, and she subconsciously used the technique to block out the sound. However, as she began to move, the cacophony disappeared.

The echoes, the voices, the laughter all dissipated as if they had never existed. Everything was back to the beginning, with only a chaotic, faint sound in the darkness.

What exactly is that sound?

Delphinium was a little puzzled.

And just as she wanted to continue to explore the depths, a light suddenly appeared in her sight.

A blinding light shot from behind her, casting her shadow on the ground in front of her, stretching long, long. She could see the swaying hem of her skirt in the shadows, she could see the Bonet reflected in a circle, and there was no doubt that the full human form was herself.

The shadow that belonged to her stood quietly in place like herself.

What is this radiance?

I tried to use my sluggish consciousness to think, but I felt like my mind was stuck in a pulp, and I couldn't turn it at all. Doubts arose in her heart, and Delphinium wanted to turn back, but found that the shadow in her vision suddenly changed.

Very suddenly, just in the blink of an eye, as if a few frames of the video had been removed, another black shadow overlapping her appeared. After that, the black shadow flickered and swayed, but with the flickering, it gradually stretched itself.

Something appeared behind his back.

The delphinium realized this.

However, she couldn't turn back.

The hairs on her body stood up at this moment, her limbs became extremely cold and stiff, and her intuition from her heart kept telling her not to look back.

At this moment, the shadow covering the figure of the delphinium finally took shape in the flickering, and appeared in front of the delphinium very clearly.

It was a bug with wings spread.

Or, morphologically more precisely, it was a moth.

At this moment, the delphinium finally realized that those originally faint and chaotic sounds were already close to the ears.

She lifted her hand and looked over to her arm—

——[Dear passengers, please note, dear passengers, this trip ends here, you have arrived at your destination, Fangting City. 】

“…… Whew, ha! ”

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yun suddenly opened his eyes and straightened up from his seat.

Subconsciously gasping for a moment, he looked around a little dazedly, only to see that he was in an unfamiliar cabin.

The noise around him and the sound of the radio overhead made him gradually remember where he was - he was on the landboard, on the way back to Fangting from Bai'an City.

"I'm asleep?"

Whispering to himself, he looked sideways at the porthole to the side, and saw his face faintly reflected in the reflective window. It wasn't until this moment that he realized that his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

It seems like I'm just having a nightmare.

Lin Yun can only confirm this now.

He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and checked the time, and found that there were two missed calls in the message column. One of the calls was from Lin Xiaolu, and the other was from an unknown number.

Swiped the lock screen and clicked into the message interface, he saw the message Lin Xiaolu left for himself, which read: [What time will you be home tonight? 】

This girl still knows how to care about this?

Lin Yun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

You must know that he is not returning to Fangting City for the festival as Lin Yun now, but as Lin Yun. Although the father-daughter relationship between him and Lin Xiaolu has eased a lot, there is often no common topic, and it is enough for his daughter to be able to send such a message in advance.

He couldn't help but feel a little relieved by this, and his expression eased a little, and he typed it down in the message column: [Go back in an hour. 】

This is also something that has been set a long time ago, after all, today is already the full moon festival.

As early as a few days ago, Lin Xiaolu sent a message to ask her father and Delphinch, wondering if the two would come back on the day of the holiday.

She didn't know that these two pieces of news were finally put in front of the same person, and the temperature difference in her tone made Lin Yun smile bitterly.

It's just that he didn't agree to the request for the festival in the end. Of the two messages sent by Lin Xiaolu, he only gave an affirmative answer to one of them, that is, the one sent to Lin Yun.

As for Delphinium, he simply refused on the excuse that the investigation was not over yet and that he was busy with work.

There are actually reasons for making such a choice, the most important point is that Lin Yun still hopes to spend the full moon festival with his daughter as a father. Even he knew that Lin Xiaolu might want to be with Delphinium more.

For the people of Donghua Prefecture, the full moon festival is a festival with a special symbolic meaning, and this day emphasizes the reunion of blood and family.

Maybe it will be easier to communicate with your daughter as a delphinium on weekdays, but the full moon festival is different. This is a festival that should belong to the family, and regardless of the wishes of both parties, he should spend it well with his daughter as a father. This is not only his emotional selfishness, but also an explanation of their relationship with each other.

The other reason is that he doesn't want to spend any more energy on brain-burning identity games during rare festivals.

The investigation work in Bai'an City took a lot of energy, and the sequelae caused by the excessive burst of magic during the battle with the spider have not been alleviated, so that he still feels migraines from time to time.

Now Lin Yun just wants to go home and enjoy a stable festival and find a moment of peace of mind for himself.

After replying to the message from Lin Xiaolu, he walked out of the land ship with the other passengers and officially set foot on the land of Fangting City. During this period, I also checked the call history, flipped through the missed calls, and called back the phone number I didn't recognize.

Sadly, no one got through.

Just when he thought it was just the other party making the wrong call, or it was just a boring prank, and then put down the phone, he suddenly felt the vibration of the incoming call.

When I looked closely, it was the phone number I didn't recognize.

After connecting the phone and putting the phone to his ear, Lin Yun asked with some confusion: "Hello, which one?" ”

The "hissing" sound on the other end of the call made his breathing stagnant.

He remembered the voice. And the other party's next sentence seems to be about to come out because of this.

“…… Be careful. ”

With the sound of this voice, Lin Yun seemed to have returned to the days when he first learned that Lin Xiaolu had become a magical girl 5 months ago.

The same unknown number, the same vague voice. And that same phrase "be careful".

Obviously surrounded by noisy and noisy people, he felt like he was falling into an ice cave in an instant, as if all the excitement had nothing to do with him.

“…… It's you? Realizing the purpose of this call, he immediately said in a deep voice: "What's the situation? Who are you? What's going to happen again? ”

"Hiss."

"Hello?"

"Be careful tonight...... Sizzle. ”

The second half of the sentence on the other end of the phone was drowned out by the noise of the signal, so Lin Yun couldn't hear it clearly at all, so he immediately asked, "What did you say?" ”

"Be careful, tonight's ......"

[Toot, toot, toot]

However, this time, the other party didn't even finish the sentence, and the "hiss" murmur once again turned into a busy tone for the phone to hang up. Standing in the crowd, looking at the mobile phone in his hand that had been screened, his face sank like water.
