Zongman: I am on the set of Oregairu, playing the role of Bai Xue

7 month 24 day.

The summer festival is here as scheduled.

From the first light of dawn, the hearts of the island's residents and tourists were filled with anticipation, and the path leading to Hiruko Shrine gradually became bustling.

During this special festival, every corner of Ridu Island is more bustling and lively than usual.

Fireworks festivals, shrine festivals, goldfish scooping competitions...

These traditional activities can always easily ignite people's enthusiasm.

As night fell, the atmosphere became more intense, and the ancient legend about the leech god once again spread among the crowd.

Most of the tourists coming and going, regardless of gender, age or status, had happy smiles on their faces.

Preparing for a grand celebration requires a large number of staff, all of whom are local islanders. They wear kimonos printed with the Chinese character "日都" and wave patterns, and are distributed in their respective areas.

An uncle in charge of fireworks management, with a rigorous attitude, came to the open space where the fireworks were stored again to prepare for the final safety check.

However, when he arrived at the fireworks storage point, the scene before him stunned him instantly.

Four boxes of giant fireworks disappeared!

The storage, transportation and release of fireworks are all subject to strict supervision and inspection. How could four boxes be missing for no reason?!

The anime doesn’t care what happens to the uncle next.

The scene changed, moving away from the anxious uncle's facial expression and turning to the bustling food stall area.

From sushi, tempura to takoyaki, ice cream and more, all kinds of delicious food are available for people to choose freely.

Amid the crowd, a family of three held hands, immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the summer celebration.

Suddenly a crow flew in the sky.

It flapped its wings and flew straight towards the little girl without making any sound.

The family of three was not alarmed at all. The parents continued to chat and laugh, ignoring the crow that landed on their daughter's shoulder.

Maintaining the appearance of Kobayakawa Shiori, Hata stopped and glanced at the crow with dim eyes.

[Shimpei ran away... humph, a futile act.]

From the information conveyed by Shadow Shinpei, Hatano learned that Ajiro Shinpei used a metal fork to fix Shadow Mio's body.

She is now unable to sense Shadow Mio's presence and presumes that she was destroyed by Shinpei.

The other party was indeed very clever in using a sharp fork to achieve a similar effect without a nail gun.

But Bo Dao has doubts...

Shadow Mio will not be defenseless and allow Shinpei to restrain her.

In addition, metal forks are not easy to penetrate the floor unless Shen Ping has prepared and sharpened the forks to a sharp enough degree.

Whatever the case, there must be something hidden behind this.

Originally, Shadow Mio wanted to invite Ajiro Shinpei to obey the Shadow's request and attend the summer festival.

As for the invitations of Kofune Mio, Diamond-shaped Ibis, and Diamond-shaped Window, just let Shadow Shinpei go and act.

Now Shinpei has broken the agreement by acting on his own. Given his character, he may have other ulterior motives.

Although Bodao had expected him to resist, based on the surveillance over the past two days, it was questionable whether a man who had suffered a severe blow and was mentally depressed would still have the will to fight.

Shinpei chose the right time to rebel, which meant that he had been pretending for the past two days.

[You want to wake up Uo and attack my main body...]

Hatano immediately sees through Shinpei's plan, much to the amazement of the audience, who not only admire the villain's speed of understanding, but also worry about Shinpei's safety.

The camera tilted and focused on the silhouette of "Shiori".

The light green yukata with colorful patterns should have added a bit of cuteness to her temperament, but at this moment, her face was expressionless, her eyes were empty and revealed a hint of relief, making it difficult to regard her as an ordinary little girl.

I only heard Bo Dao sighing tiredly and saying in a sad voice:

[Sure enough, the ending is already determined.]

As soon as he finished speaking, Bo Dao's figure suddenly disappeared from the crowd.

A passerby who accidentally witnessed this scene thought he was dazzled, but the Kobayakawa couple did not react at all, which made the passerby fall into self-doubt.

Not only Bo Dao, but the crow that had just rested on her shoulder also disappeared.

Two shadows sneaked into the darkness and moved quickly towards the shrine. There was a vertical abyss leading directly to the Leech Cave. Ordinary people would die if they fell into it, but the shadows were safe and sound.

The joyous summer celebrations continue.

As the day wore on, the mood grew more intense as the fireworks display was about to begin.

Dense crowds of tourists stood shoulder to shoulder at the best spot to watch the fireworks, waiting patiently, some noisily, some quietly, hoping that the brilliant fireworks would rise into the night sky and shine brightly.

But instead of waiting for the fireworks display to officially begin, they heard a delay announcement from staff over the radio.

The fireworks on the ground did not explode.

But a deafening noise came from a cave deep underground!

The surface of the high, dark wall shook violently under the continuous bombardment of four boxes of fireworks.

Boom boom boom!

In just a moment, the shadow barrier that separated the Bodao dormitory cracked in the middle, enough for the three of them to pass through side by side.

However, the shadow barrier seemed to have infinite vitality and was spontaneously converging towards the center. I'm afraid it would return to its original state soon.

Before that, four people crossed the barrier first.

Amishiro Shinpei, Shadow Uo, Diamond Window, and Shadow Mio, they work together and stay alert.

Diamond Window looked back at the shadow barrier and said, "Ibis and the others may not be able to come in."

The hole that had just exploded had shrunk and was even gradually squeezing inward, forcing them to move forward.

[There seems to be something fishy about this shadow. I have a bad feeling.] Yingzichao looked serious. She sensed that the barrier was filled with the breath of Bodao.

From the moment they passed through the barrier, this barrier made of black mud seemed to gain its own consciousness.

[Hmm! Let's try to get rid of Hasada in one go... But, it may not be that easy.] Shinpei closed his left eye, leaving only the blue "Observation Eye" open, so that he could continue to use Ryunosuke's predictive ability.

Zhu Luzi and Diamond Bronze did not go with them. They needed to stay in the rear to prevent the shadow people from encircling them.

On the way to the main body of Bodao, those wild baby shadows suddenly changed their range of activities and gathered on the road ahead. The Diamond father and daughter had to stay and deal with them, otherwise once the war started, these wild shadows would inevitably affect the situation.

This time the shadow tide returns, it is not in a state of complete ignorance.

On the contrary, she not only possesses all the memories of the previous weeks, but has even further awakened and mastered the method of controlling and modifying shadow people.

Therefore, the two baby shadows controlled by Zhu Luzi and the nurse shadow have become very reliable partners, and Bo Dao cannot change their actions by remote command.

As for the reason, it was actually a backup plan left by Shadow Tide before his death.

Shinpei was unable to hold her hand at that time, but the right hand that Shinpei stretched out happened to be wearing a watch.

Shadow Tide took the opportunity to transfer his memory data to Shinpei's watch.

That night, the reason why Shinpei dreamed of Shadow Tide was actually because the data in the watch sensed the sleeping Shadow Tide drifting in the sea, slightly pulling Shinpei's wrist.

Shinpei cannot act in advance, but the diamond window can.

Since Ryunosuke can possess Shinpei's body, he can also move to the diamond-shaped window.

Therefore, when the other shadows were unable to sense Ryunosuke, the Diamond Window took advantage of the night and found the sleeping shadow Tide according to the location provided by Shinpei and woke him up.

Things went exceptionally smoothly after that.

With the help of Ryunosuke's ability, Shinpei easily restrained Shadow Mio, and then waited for the crows outside the window to fly away.

At this time, Shadow Tide also successfully copied four boxes of celebration fireworks, quickly returned, and recruited Shadow Mio as a teammate.

Everyone was able to reach Bodao’s dormitory thanks to their tacit understanding and close cooperation.

But there are still some shortcomings.

Shinpei did not obtain a shotgun or a sniper rifle because the storage locations of the two guns had already been exposed when Haseda scanned the memories of Nanfang Hizuru.

Currently.

The only weapon Shinpei can use is a revolver, but combined with Ryunosuke's predictive ability, his strength should not be underestimated.

There is no need to worry about Shadow Mio and Shadow Uo, as their fighting abilities are in no way inferior to those of ordinary shadows.

Diamond Window was carrying a backpack filled with flammable chemicals, enough to make the shadows suffer.

The four of them carefully observed their surroundings.

The so-called dormitory of Bodao looked empty and dim, with a shallow layer of sea water on the ground and a winding stone road leading to the platform in front.

Flames were burning on the platform, illuminating the surrounding conical stone pillars. The stone pillars were arranged in an orderly manner and covered with bright corals, anemones and barnacles, forming a strange underwater wonder.

But the most eye-catching thing is the huge shadow clinging to the deepest rock wall.

The crowd was a hundred meters away, gazing at the huge, strange shadow, as if all the evil and darkness in the world were gathered on that shadow.

Before they could make the next move.

Suddenly a gunshot was heard in the cave!

A rifle bullet carrying powerful kinetic energy came towards everyone!

This shot was too unexpected.

Even if Shinpei foresaw the tragic scene that would follow, he could not stop it.

Because he must dodge this shot, otherwise his head will be blown up!

Shinpei gritted his teeth and dodged, but the bullets continued to fly backwards!

Before others have time to react in panic.

The rifle bullet hit Diamond Window's chest with deadly penetrating power, going straight through it!
