The foliage is glass flakes saturated with dark green paint, densely cutting the light into scattered spots, and vines and creepers twine around the painted fence.

"Let me put these things alone, isn't it too difficult? And if they are discovered, it will be troublesome, right?"

When there was a man smoking a cigarette standing in front of him, Wu He frowned and talked to him like this.

"Isn't it just to throw some combustion accelerant? The big boss is already on the plane—even if we are found, we can still fish you out."

The voice of the smoking man was not good, with the tiredness and oldness that had been tainted by tobacco and alcohol for a long time, and the temperament of the whole person was close to that between the prime of life and the middle age - neither like a teacher nor like a student.

"Since you're already going to take the pot here, why do you still care about my life and death? It's the most convenient way for you to quickly silence the matter after it's done, right? This matter is too risky, and I won't do it."

Wu He showed obvious resistance, and when he uttered the last word, he moved his toes as he was about to turn around.

"Children, as expected, they still don't know how to make the right choice."

The man exhaled a puff of smoke ring, then threw most of the remaining smoke on the ground casually, and when he crushed the sparks with the bottom of his leather shoes, his tone had an inexplicable feeling like "the elders' earnest persuasion".

"You have been helping us find someone for so many years. The big boss' wish in this life is to watch that person die. If you can overlook the fire here from the plane, what else would he not satisfy you? "

"A person who is willing to do this for hatred, who is willing to hand over everything, does he care about the risk or not?"

"If you are willing to help, the benefits are absolutely indispensable to you."

When the man said this, Wu He's fingertips holding the brim of his hat began to turn unnaturally white, and the moment he raised his face, he felt depressive and complicated emotions.

The man saw that his lobbying had achieved good results, and finally threw out a reason that he couldn't refuse——

"Besides, even if you don't do this favor, will we give up?"

"The plan remains the same. And you, die with those buried with you."

The man... accelerant... fire...

It probably means that the 'big boss' behind this man has someone who hates him so much, so in order to see the death of the 'enemy' in the sky, do you even want to set this place on fire?

Xie Gongxuan, who was condescending over the fence one meter away by hiding her figure with her abilities, even had the idea of ​​jumping off right now and beating up that man.

But Wu He asked after a brief hesitation: "How are you sure that she must be here?"

"That guy Xie Mingxin, he is squatting in the scientific research base and can't come out. We have investigated her for at least ten years, and the only clue is..."

The man didn't hesitate at all, and just answered Wu He's question, as if what he was about to say wasn't Xin Mi at all.

"She went to this school to write a letter for two years. If the principal hadn't responded to the letter recently, we would not have been able to find out about this matter backwards."

Wu He raised his head abruptly, his astonishment creeping up along the somewhat distorted lines on his face.

He asked, "Is it from the letters you asked me to steal from the principal's office?"

"Yeah." The man seemed to want to reach out and pat Wu He's shoulder, but he took it back without any embarrassment after being dodged by the other party, "So you are a hero——complete this last thing, what good is it? You are all indispensable."

When Wu He retreated, he asked in disbelief: "You are crazy, for a letter? What if the person you are looking for is not here at all?"

"Then keep looking." The man gave a 'hehe' low laugh, "That woman's child must die."

……

"what!"

Taking advantage of the potential energy of jumping from above, Xie Gongxuan directly punched the man in the face, knocking the man to the ground, and the sound of screaming went straight into his ears.

"You... when were you here!"

Wu He took a step forward in surprise, and his questioning voice was filled with suppressed astonishment.

"I've been here all the time." Xie Gongxuan seemed to feel that it wasn't enough, and stepped on the stomach of the man on the ground.

Another cry of pain was only halfway through, and then the man calmed down as if his throat was stuck. The reason is probably...

Wu He covered his mouth.

"If you make it louder, we won't be able to run away."

When he squatted on the ground and said this, he was inexplicably entangled and hesitant.

"Xie Gongxuan, you know how to fight." When he let go of his hand, he stood up slowly, "Let him go, let's talk."

Xie Gongxuan just let go of the people on the ground seemingly indifferently, but when she raised her head, she asked clearly: "I know how to fight, didn't I just learn it from you?"

"And depending on what you want to do, not sending you directly to the police car is the final result of my calmness."

Because even if they were sent to the police car—by virtue of the so-called big men, they might not necessarily suffer any substantial losses because of a few bottles of combustion accelerant lying on the ground.

"Then you can go and report it. What do you mean by jumping out now?" Wu He raised his head a little angrily, "You can run away if you want to get involved in such troublesome things, right?!"

"That's you, not me." Xie Gongxuan looked away from him, as if she didn't want to hear a word, "The reason why she jumped out and beat him—"

The man had already stood up, and the pain of grinning his teeth made him seem to want to question.

"Because Xie Mingxin is my mother's name."

When her fluttering words fell to the ground, both the man and Wu He fell into silence because of the sudden astonishment, and they were stuck for a long time without uttering a single syllable.

When there is silence, only the sound of the leaves remains with the rhythm of the wind.

"What's the matter, go to Xie Mingxin. If it doesn't work, come to me."

"Don't implicate any innocent people—"

"Come at me alone."

After finishing these few words, it seemed that some strange burden that had been weighing on her was inexplicably removed from her body. Xie Gongxuan raised her head slightly, always feeling that the sound and light of February brought her into a messy mind. In a strange hallucination.

"Hehehehe, the person you have been looking for for so long, you ran out by yourself—uh——"

This time the man was punched to the ground by Wu He.

The sound of the falling gun colliding with the ground, and the sound of rubbing against the gravel road—inexplicably made Xie Gongxuan feel that the land might become very clean.

"Calm down, it may be useful to take back your words now, can they escape from their targeting?" His uncontrollable tone was more like an angry growl, but after he uttered the interrogative sentence, he turned into a strange panic , "Hey, what's the matter with you, are you scared silly--Hello?"

The blood faded from Xie Gongxuan's face, and when she retreated unsteadily, some strange fragments squeezed into her memory.

Fragmented, illogical, but arrogant and unreasonable squeezed into her normal memory.

She seemed to see her parents, the white laboratory full of precision instruments in her memory——

And the huge machine that can reverse time, like the mouth of the abyss that opened, swallowed everything to the final node.

"It seems that I have a question to ask." Xie Gongxuan suddenly squatted down and asked the man on the ground, "Is Xie Mingxin's research project called the 'Cronus' project?"

This was the name of one of the projects invested by the Black Rock Group that she saw on the paper in Osamu Dazai's hands that day.

And Cronus is the word of time.

"...Since you already know, why do you still ask me?" The man seemed to be scared of being beaten, and spoke arrogant lines in a timid tone.

Xie Gongxuan closed her eyes calmly, and when she breathed out slowly, the surprise and anger at hearing the news just now had cooled down, and turned into deep thought and review.

——In that case, she probably knew what happened.

The man in front of him and his so-called boss were originally investors and collaborators of the 'Kronos' project.But for some reason, the two sides broke up, and they had no way to take revenge on Xie Mingxin, so they have been working hard to find Xie Gongxuan.

After finding clues that Xie Gongxuan might be here, their plan was to kill everyone here.

To what extent did the fall out lead to such a crazy and persistent killing intent...

But what does this matter have to do with Osamu Dazai?

From the conversation between him and Fyodor that he overheard before, it can be known that Osamu Dazai also knows about this [Time Technology].

With what purpose did he participate in this matter?

"What's the matter with you?"

Wu He, who hadn't figured out the situation, stepped back violently, and kicked the chemical accelerant packed in the bucket of cleaning supplies next to him.

Xie Gongxuan just glanced at him and said nothing.

These two people are both accomplices and criminals who must be punished——

However, before solving the two of them, a small detail inexplicably lingered in Xie Gongxuan's mind——

It's what the man said before——

'The big boss is on the plane now. '

The author has something to say: I'm going to fight (gripping)
