Inside the abandoned iron factory, there was a cold silence.

On the northwest coast of Chitori Island, there is a scenic spot formed after the Great Earthquake, the Senkaku Sea Cliff.

The cliffs and reefs stretch for nearly 50 kilometres, and there are many beaches, beachfront hotels and even seaside villas built along the shore.

Everything was like God's compensation, and Chitori Island became an ideal tourist destination due to the earthquake, providing many employment opportunities for the islanders who survived.

Sending information to the outside world and being consumed by the outside world is a matter of separate walls, and in the process, there will be financial entanglements and even resistance.

No one knows what is right, and because of this, they can only stick to their own path until they are right.

It's too complicated and too heavy to talk about the development of the ruins, and it's still hard to choose a position.

Jiang Yuanshen smiled as if he was about to change the subject, The Jinghai Shenyue in front of him was like a girl possessed by a god, which was difficult to approach.

"Jinghai-san, you should have saved a lot of money since you became the queen, right?"

Jinghai Shenyue saw that he didn't want to respond, and she didn't ask more.

"Well, because my father keeps giving me money."

"Which father?"

The response brought an unnatural silence, Jinghai Shenyue's head tilted slightly to one side, and her cold gaze fell on Jiang Yuanshen.

"Jiang Yuan."

"Huh?"

"How old are you?"

"It's bigger than the top 15 out of a hundred."

"Be specific."

"October 2."

"I'm September two."

The back of Jinghai Fukatsuki's hand gently brushed the hair that fell over her shoulders, and a provocative smile appeared on her face. The gaze was quite competitive.

"Fifteen?"

"Sixteen, I am your sister-in-law, if you have any difficulties in the future, tell my sister, and my sister will help you."

"I owe someone three million, can my good sister help me pay it back?"

After hearing Jiang Yuanshen's deflated voice, Jinghai Shenyue pressed her temples like she had a headache.

"As a boy older than the top fifteen, I still have to take the corresponding responsibility."

"It's not reliable at all."

Jiang Yuanshen smiled lightly, and he didn't think of asking her to help.

Suddenly, he smelled the "rain is coming."

The smell of soil and rust mixed in through the window was a unique smell that lingered in the lungs that you can't smell in a city like Tokyo.

"It's going to rain."

There was a girl's voice in her ears, and Jinghai Shenyue seemed to feel it, but it wasn't clear if it was relying on her nose.

At some point, thick cumulonimbus clouds drifted from the sky, and the damp wind shook the iron sheets on the roof, and the leaves on the trees outside the building were swept into the air.

Knock, click, knock, click—

The continuous drizzle hit the tin tiles, and the sound was heavy.

Humid air peeked in through the broken windows, crudely informing the interior and the outside world that were connected, and for some reason, rain-stained ridges emerged from the depths of memory.

"Do you have an umbrella?" Jinghai Shenyue got up from the chair and patted the hem of her skirt with her little hand.

Jiang Yuanshen took a light breath and looked out the window again.

"Nope."

"Then we'll have to wait for the rain to stop."

She placed her bag on the table and walked up and down the office building on the first floor like a cat ready to adapt to her new environment.

Jiang Yuanshen felt that his body seemed to become empty all of a sudden.

I once wanted to get into this ironworks, but now that I'm here, I can't afford to be in any mood to explore.

"Jiang Yuan." Jinghai Shenyue was standing in front of a foam board door, and suddenly turned her head and shouted.

"What's wrong?"

"Come here."

Jiang Yuanshen got up and walked over, and saw the "Purchasing Minister's Office" hanging on the wall.

Jinghai Shenyue faced him.

"Look at this door."

"What's wrong with this door?"

Jiang Yuanshen put one hand in his pocket and looked at the foam board door in front of him, This door is only inlaid with a layer of iron sheet on the surface, and all the inside is foam rock wool.

Just as his gaze wandered on the door, Jinghai Shenyue's hands pressed the top of Jiang Yuanshen's head and chin, and gently turned it in a guided manner.

An inopportune sentence popped up in Jiang Yuanshen's mind-

"I haven't even touched a boy's hand."

"Stupid, look here."

In her fingers, she felt the coldness of the piano keys, and the movement felt like domesticating a fox squirrel.

The body of the deep moon in the still sea is filled with a sweet fragrance, which is the fragrance that will be messy no matter how strong the will is.

At the moment when the light hair swept across his arm, Jiang Yuanshen's heart suddenly moved.

Before I had time to reminisce, my eyes were focused on the doorknob.

"There's no dust on it." Jinghai Shenyue muttered.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but look at her, because the cumulonimbus clouds obscured the sunlight, and in the space where the light was gradually thinning, she also happened to be staring at herself.

With a fair little face, long hair falling from her shoulders to her waist, she is as beautiful as a chick doll when she closes her mouth.

- She could be so beautiful.

"You're really observant."

"Because the structure of the mind is different, I only need about ten seconds to find details that take a minute for others to discover."

“.” Jiang Yuanshen picked the muscles in the corners of his eyes, and pretended not to care and reached out to press the doorknob.

Push it back and forth twice.

Gurgle, gurgle -

Sure enough, the door was locked.

"Is there really a kappa here?" Jiang Yuanshen was very surprised.

"Kappa?" Jinghai Shenyue crooked her slender neck.

Jiang Yuan stood up cautiously, crossed his waist with one hand and said:

"You don't know? There are pipes hidden under the ironworks, and kappa follow the pipes at night to Lake Kamo to scare children, and hide here along the pipes during the day. ”

Jinghai Shenyue stared at him with the eyes of a kindergarten child, pinched his chin with his little hand and said, "It seems that someone lives here, is it a homeless?" ”

Ignore him at all.

"Yes, probably a vagabond." Jiang Yuanshen grinned at the corner of his mouth.

She raised her scarlet little mouth, looked at him teasingly, and said, "What? Not a kappa anymore? ”

"Of course, as long as you have imagination, the guy who lives in it is a kappa." Jiang Yuan said cautiously with an open-minded expression.

Jinghai Shenyue shook her head and said, "Then this can still be regarded as a secret base?" ”

Jiang Yuanshen looked around, walked to the discarded table and chair, opened the drawer and rummaged back and forth.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm wondering if the key is around here."

"Where would anyone put the key here?"

"I often see in TV dramas that the keys are hidden somewhere outside the door, like under a flower pot or something."

When Jiang Yuanshen said this, he happened to open a drawer, the corners of his mouth raised, and his hand took out something from it.

"Look, watch more TV series."

What he carried on his finger was a small key.

"What TV series are you watching?" Jinghai Shenyue asked with a stunned expression.

"I don't remember, it seems to be called "Derailment"."

"If you have a girlfriend, please have a good relationship."

"If it were you, maybe you'd have a good relationship."

"You dare to joke with me now."

"I've fallen to this point."

The two smiled lightly at each other, and Jiang Yuanshen straightened the key with his fingers and inserted it into the door lock.

With a click, the door lock opened.

"Wait—" Jinghai Shenyue suddenly spoke, and the little hand grasped his arm without the slightest hint of it.

"What's wrong?"

"If he lives here, are we already bothering him?" Jinghai Shenyue said cautiously.

Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, her expression seemed to be a little nervous.

"You're afraid of being found out I'm with you?"

Jinghai Shenyue's left eyebrow raised.

"Nope."

"Then neither do I."

Jiang Yuanshen directly pushed open the door and entered.

What catches your eye is a small room that is only about four square meters, with a travel folding bed against the wall and a wooden chair in front of the bed.

On the left side of the window is an iron cabinet with a small mirror and an extremely old radio.

It's still a boxy old Panasonic model that can play audio tapes.

There is a trash can in the corner, and inside is a clean black garbage bag, which seems to have just been replaced.

"It looks like a long time ago, this was someone's secret base." Shizumi Fukatsuki's hand pressed down on the electric light on the wall.

Smack.

The cramped room was shrouded in bright lights, and strands of her hair were clearly visible in the field of vision.

"There's still electricity here?"

Immediately, Jinghai Shenyue stared at Jiang Yuanshen with a surprised expression.

Jiang Yuanshen nodded, looked around and said, "This is not like a homeless man's home. ”

"Shall we change the secret base?"

Jinghai Shenyue looked at the radio, and when she squatted down, she didn't forget to cover her skirt and clamp the hem of her skirt with her legs to prevent it from sagging.

"Jinghai-san, are you afraid?" Jiang Yuan looked cautiously at the contours of her hips under the hem of her skirt and grinned shallowly.

"What?"

"Are you afraid that your attempt to leave the island will be discovered?"

Jiang Yuan glanced at Jinghai Shenyue, she was just silently fiddling with the buttons on the radio.

"Jiang Yuan, how do you get this thing?"

The two of them looked at each other in the small mirror, and could feel her pupils stretching out, as if flickering with hesitant emotions.

Jiang Yuanshen walked to her side and squatted down, the tip of his nose lingering with the faint fragrance of the girl's body again.

"There's already an audio tape in there." He said.

"How do you play that?"

"Is that good?"

"At this time, I feel a little better when there are other people's voices, even if it's the weather forecast."

"I'm putting you in a bad mood?"

"Well, it's a bit of a puff."

The sudden complaint made Jiang Yuanshen a little confused, but he still began to play with the buttons seriously.

The buttons on it are clearly marked with "PLAY" and "RECORD", the inverted triangle symbol is the playback key, and the recording key is a circular pattern.

Jiang Yuanshen hesitated a little -

How could she not understand?

Jinghai Shenyue seemed to feel tired of squatting, so she stood up for a few seconds, and then squatted down again.

"Zizizi-"

The recorder was in a small crowded room, and the cacophony of the loudspeaker was heard from the loudspeaker, completely drowning out the sound of rain outside.

"Xun's health is getting worse and worse"

A sentence from the tape made the expressions of the two of them freeze like ice crystals.

This name is a name that will never be forgotten, the previous queen of Zhitori Island, the mother of the deep moon in the quiet sea, and the night to see the oak.

Jinghai Shenyue's eyes widened, staring blankly at the old radio.

"These days, it has been raining heavily on Chitori Island and a large area nearby, but fortunately, Lake Kamo is connected to the sea."

"Maybe one day things will get worse and worse until something unclear happens, so I wanted to leave a recording beforehand."

"Xun Yu took the initiative to find me and said that I wanted to go out of the island, I took her to hide here with me, and now Officer Ito and they are all looking for them on the island, but they shouldn't come here"

"I'll wait for Xun Yu's health to improve, and then I'll be ready to find a good time to get out of the island."

"I'm not going to take her to Tokyo, I'm going to go alone with her to a place that no one knows about and make up for everything she's lost."

"Zizizi-"

The words in the tape came to an abrupt end in an unnatural place, except for the drizzle outside the house, which continued to knock on the silent hearts of the two.

"Why is there such an audio tape here?"

Jiang Yuanshen carried a wave of consternation and made waves in the Siping room.

He opened the iron cabinet and found a few packs of cigarettes and a few bottles of wine inside.

Reaching out and fiddling with them one by one, I finally found a new tape in the innermost corner.

Jinghai Shenyue let out intermittent breathing, but her eyes were as cold as ice.

"I'm going back."

"Now? It's still raining outside, and there's another one here, don't you listen? ”

Jiang Yuanshen picked up the tape and said,

"I don't know whose it is, but maybe I can learn some information about the "price" from it, right?"

Jinghai Shenyue bit her lower lip gently, and the hot breath leaked out of her lips.

"Listen to yourself, I'll go back."

The moment she stood up, her slender legs went limp, her body leaned to the side, and her loafers made irregular steps on the ground.

Jiang Yuan Shen subconsciously wanted to help, but Jinghai Shenyue quickly stabilized his footing.

Seeing that she really wanted to go directly when she picked up her schoolbag outside, Jiang Yuanshen frowned and put the tape in his pocket to catch up.

Chitori Island is hidden in the mist, and the cumulonimbus clouds above it look like a large floating ruin.

Green vines and brightly colored wildflowers are like its tongue, wrapped around these massive discarded pieces of steel.

Walking out of the building, countless sounds passed through my ears.

The sound of raindrops hitting the ground, the chirping of birds, the noise of cars and trams in the distance, and the "crackling" of shoes on the wet ground.

Jinghai Shenyue walked straight into the drifting light rain, and at this time a strong wind blew, her long black hair fluttered in the wind, and the rain and dew on her hair were like snowflakes.

Jiang Yuan clutched the tape in his pocket and quietly followed her out of the iron factory.

Her white socks were soaked in water, and a dull gray smeared in them.

The two of them came to the bus stop one after the other.

Jinghai Shenyue sat on the chair, hugged the schoolbag tightly with both hands and whispered, "The people on this island are extremely selfish. ”

“.”

"Jiang Yuan, I'm afraid I'm no exception now."

At the right time, the orange bus entered the station, Jinghai Shenyue got up and walked up directly, sat down against the window, his little face was extremely cold, and his eyes seemed to be accumulating glacier snow.

Jiang Yuanshen sat silently on the other side of the aisle, as if he had been in the music classroom that day.

Passing by Lake Kamo, the largest lake on the island, you can hear some young boys laughing with sounds that can be heard all over the lake.

Woo woo, there are no tickets, I'm going to shed big pearls~~~~
