Chapter 592: Grandma Crane
Yuzurina was a little stunned.
She didn't hear the sound of Lin Qiye climbing up the steep slope at all, and she didn't even know when he came up from below, he was like a black ghost, flying up from the steep slope in a flash.
"You're pretty good." Yuzurina sighed in Japanese.
Lin Qiye smiled but did not speak.
The two walked along the road on the cliff, with the blue sky above their heads, and walked to the other side of the road one after the other.
Yuzurina walked in front, her bare feet, the soles of her feet stepped on the gray asphalt pavement, leaving shallow water stains, the old black cherry blossom kimono seemed to be a little loose, not like her size, and the sleeves were even a little cracked, and they were woven with gray silk threads.
With every step she took, the pale pink hairpin that was stuck in her ball-like black hair swayed gently, reflecting the glimmer of crystalline light.
Lin Qiye wore a black windbreaker and walked calmly behind her.
His mind quickly combed through all the information he knew.
The cause of everything is the white-haired old man who stepped on a flat boat in the fog and seemed to be a king.
He wears the mask of the king's face, the cloak of the [Mask] team, and the [Yi Kite] on his waist, and his ability is also related to time, Lin Qiye is almost certain that that person is the king's face......
But the paradox is that Wang Mian is not that old, and he is far from stepping into the divine realm.
Could it be that he is from the future?
The moment this idea appeared in Lin Qiye's mind, he labeled it as "extremely likely". It's no secret that Wang Mian is able to time travel.
When Instructor Yuan Gang explained the medal of the night watchman, he mentioned the exploits of Wang Mian, five years ago when the Baqi Snake landed in the East China Sea, Wang Mian had consumed Shouyuan to travel through time, returned to an hour before the Baqi Orochi appeared, and saved the people of the entire city.
At that time, Wang Mian was just a newcomer in the "immeasurable" realm.
If Wang Mian really broke that ceiling in the future and stepped into the divine realm, there may not be no possibility of returning to the past through a long time.
The question now is, if this speculation is correct, then from what point in time in the future did he travel back, and what did he come back for?
Is it just to send him to this place?
What about the rest of the team? Are they here too?
Over here...... Is it really Japan?
Countless doubts surged into Lin Qiye's heart, and the more he thought about it, the more chaotic he felt.
Suddenly, he thought of something else.
If Wang Mian can manipulate time, is it possible that he sent everyone to Japan a hundred years ago, before the fog appeared?
Lin Qiye raised his head abruptly and looked around.
At this moment, the two had stepped out of the highway and came to the streets of the city.
It's not even in the city center, there are few pedestrians on the road, the gray asphalt pavement is marked with clean white signs, on the right hand is a newly opened sea urchin rice shop, and on the left is a closed electric city.
There were several locked bicycles parked on one side of the lane, and a black sedan parked in front of it, Lin Qiye didn't recognize this car logo, but judging from the shape of the car, it was not a product of decades ago.
Yuzurina, who was walking in front of him, suddenly stopped, and waited until the signal light above her head flashed green before continuing to move forward.
This is by no means the Japan of a hundred years ago.
It's a modern city.
Lin Qiye dispelled the idea of returning to the past and continued to think about the essence of this place......
Since there is no time travel, how did this country without fog appear?
This country was not supposed to exist, but he was already in it, and he could vaguely feel that under this quiet and beautiful exterior, there must be some unknown dangerous secret.
Unable to figure out all this for the time being, Lin Qiye could only put it aside for the time being, thinking about the problems that were close at hand.
Unfamiliar environment, unfamiliar language, unfamiliar culture...... The first thing Lin Qiye needed to solve was the problem of language barriers.
I didn't speak or read all the time, but it was hard to figure out what was going on.
But language is not something that can be learned in a day or two.
Just when Lin Qiye was secretly distressed, the two had already walked to the edge of the city, and the surrounding buildings were gradually dwarfed and sparse, and finally, they stopped in front of a barren clearing behind the park.
There were no habitable houses, not even any lights, and on the edge of the clearing, there were only a few long-abandoned shipping containers in a mess.
Yuzurina turned her head to look at Lin Qiye and said in Japanese:
"Follow me and don't make a sound."
After speaking, she also gestured a "×" with her finger in front of her mouth.
Lin Qiye suddenly understood what she meant and nodded.
The two walked lightly to one of the containers, and Yuzurina looked around cautiously, and after making sure that there was no one else around, she opened the lock on the door and quickly walked in.
Inside the container is a small living space.
A thick, worn-out mattress from nowhere, with two thin blankets stacked on top of it, next to a simple hanger made of elbows, two pieces of clothing hung from it, and then some basic toiletries.
On the other side of the mattress, there was a wooden chair, and at this moment a gray-haired old woman was sitting, squinting her eyes, and her wrinkled hands trembling and folding white paper.
Although her speed was slow, she was very skillful, and in a few seconds, she folded a delicate paper crane and placed it gently at her feet.
At her feet, a hill of paper cranes had been piled up, submerging her shoes.
She heard the door of the container being pushed open, and slowly looked up, and saw the petite figure, and a bright smile appeared on the corner of the old man's mouth.
"Little Yuzu, are you back?"
"I'm back." A smile appeared on Yuzuri's little face, "Grandma Tsuru, I also brought a guest back. ”
"Got guests?"
Hearing this, the old man's gaze fell behind Yuzurina and saw the man in a black trench coat.
She gently put down the white paper in her hand, put her hands on the handle of the chair, and tried hard to get up from the chair, her legs trembling a little when she stepped on the ground.
"There's a guest coming...... Quick, sit down, I'm going to make a cup of tea for the guests. ”
"Grandma Crane, you are almost seated, just leave this kind of thing to me to entertain guests." Yuzurina hurriedly hugged her and said as she helped her back into her chair.
Grandma Crane opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but her body really couldn't use her strength, so she could only follow Yuzuri's force and sit back in the chair.
Yuzu Rina turned her head and saw that Lin Qiye was still standing at the door, her brows furrowed slightly.
"What are you still doing standing there, come in and close the door so that others can see that we are here."
