What to do to save the world literary world

Xiang sat at a table in a coffee shop near the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the street, waiting for her milk tea.

In fact, this is the third cup of milk tea she ordered this afternoon.

Before that, she bought two cakes and three puddings.

The reason why she ate so many desserts was because she had to change surveillance locations.

Compared with other shops, the dessert shop is the most suitable place for female high school students to hide.

It's not because she wants dessert!real.

This afternoon, as soon as school was over, Hibiki skipped club activities—although she is the president, if she didn't go to the event, no one would go. Yoshino Taro and others wanted to run home immediately after class, lest Caught by ring.

As soon as school was over, Hibiki came to the specific location of those people who he had observed from Gao Jing before asking about their whereabouts.

Then in order to hide his tracks, Xiang had to follow them all the way, looking for a place to hide himself by the way.

For Hibiki, who is still wearing her school uniform and just finished class, the most suitable places for female high school students to show up after class are dessert shops, milk tea shops, coffee shops and other shops.

In order not to attract the attention of stalkers, Xiang has to order once every time she goes to a store to look around, and now these things are stuffed in her schoolbag.

The sneaky sanitation worker was quickly discovered when it first rang here, although it is not ruled out that it is possible that Takai said that he found the cleaner at the same time and place every day because his work was originally arranged in this way This possibility, however, after carefully observing the cleaner's every move in the shop next to him, he found some suspicious features on him.

If you ignore other things and just regard yourself as a pedestrian, sitting casually on the side of the road, there seems to be nothing strange to note.

But once he observed the cleaner carefully, he could find that he seemed to be sweeping the floor with his head down, which seemed a little too slow, and he raised his head to look around every few minutes, as if he was observing whether there was garbage on the floor, but If you really look at it with the attitude of suspecting that he is a stalker, his behavior is more like observing whether the stalked person appears.

Originally, Xiang was sitting here and was going to wait until the girl who was being followed was out of school, and then observe whether there were any suspicious people around her, but he had been staring at the cleaner all the time, and he suddenly realized that someone seemed to be meeting with the cleaner.

She saw the cleaner pick up a ball of paper from the ground, and after opening it for a look, when he left the place where he was standing, another ball of paper appeared nearby.

He paid attention to the paper ball, and after about 10 minutes, a man picked up the paper ball. However, he did not throw the paper ball into the trash can, but just like the previous cleaners, he also took the paper ball. The ball of paper was opened and looked at.

Afterwards, Xiang changed her target, and her intuition told him that there must be something wrong with this man.

Gao Jing's observation ability is very strong. He found the three stalkers he mentioned. As for the fourth person who did not find this connection, Hibiki guessed that there is a high probability that he has never met this person at all.

Then I followed the fourth person who appeared, stopped and stopped, and had to buy a bag of desserts in order to hide myself.

The follow-up during this period also allowed her to confirm that there was indeed a problem with that person's identity.Because that person kept looking back to see if there was a follower behind him during the stop-and-go process, and later went into some hidden places to change his clothes.

In the end, Xiang followed behind the fourth person and came to a ruin near a barbed wire fence.

She couldn't keep following it any longer.If you continue to follow her, there is no suitable environment for her to hide in front of her, so she will be spotted easily.

After all, it is impossible for an ordinary-looking female high school student to appear in a dilapidated ruin.

In fact, it wouldn't be a big deal if he was just discovered, but it would be a big deal if it aroused the vigilance of the people he was following.

Xiang felt that he should change into a set of clothes suitable for concealment in such an environment in two days before coming back.

Just when she was about to turn around and leave, Xiang found a person in a corner not far away.

She walked over quickly, and when she got close to the man, she grabbed his arm and dragged him to a shadowy corner at the corner of the old brick wall.

"Xingsuke? What are you doing here?" Hibiki looked serious.

"This group of people is following my sister." Oda Yusuke lowered his voice and gritted his teeth, "Two days ago, I heard from you that a mysterious human trafficker appeared near our house, so I paid a little attention to it, and then when I picked up my sister from school, I found someone The sneaky people followed behind, I observed it, caught up, and came here."

"Your family... oh, I understand." Hibiki probably understood.

The Yokohama Prefectural Middle School is a public school, and this kind of public school usually enrolls in districts according to residential areas, and the students' homes are usually relatively close to the school. Since Oda Nobusuke was dragged by the bad behavior of the Yokohama Prefectural Middle School two days ago Helping fights means that he is also from that area, and he should also live near the Yokohama Prefectural Middle School. The place where these mysterious people with bad intentions appear should not be far from his home.

"What should we do now?" Xiang asked, "Do you want to go in and investigate?"

Oda Yusuke nodded: "At least confirm where these people's lairs are. It's actually in Leibo Street..."

"Raibo Street?"

"A few years ago, there was a sudden explosion here, which turned the area into ruins. Since then, this place has become Saibo Street, which is the most chaotic place in Yokohama." Oda Kosuke explained.

"Then it's even more impossible for me to let you go." Hibiki clenched his hand on Oda Yusuke's arm, "I'm Oda Saku-kun's friend after all, it's impossible to watch his child run to such a dangerous place. "

"Do you know supernatural powers?" Oda Yusuke wanted to persuade Hibiki, "I have supernatural powers, and I can protect myself, but you, on the other hand, are the ones who can't go in and investigate. Go home now, I'm watching! You It’s best to go home while it’s still light. The area near Leibo Street is very chaotic. People like you who look easy to bully are the most likely to be robbed. You come here dressed like this, and you look like a foreigner. If you don't leave early, you will be robbed in minutes."

"Me too." Hibiki snapped her fingers, and then a dreamy light appeared on her body, just like the transformation of a magical girl in the anime. After a few seconds, the clothes on Hibiki turned into... A tattered gray dress.

"Shouldn't it be strange to go in like this?" Hibiki asked Oda Kosuke, who was already stunned.

"No, but no..." Oda Yusuke recovered from his astonishment, and he said in a strange and disappointed tone, "Why did you end up like this when you turned into a magical girl?"

"Anyway, it's fine to hide." Hibiki let go of his hand, and was about to enter Leibo Street to find out. She asked casually, "Do you still like watching magical girls?"

"I don't like it!" Oda Yusuke seemed to have been poked in a sore spot suddenly, and he strongly denied, "I don't like watching magical girls, it's because my sister, Sakule, likes to watch them, and there is only one TV at home Well, I had to watch it with her."

"En." Hibiki responded casually, and set off from the corner to sneak into Leibo Street.

Oda Kosuke finished his anger, saw that Hibiki had already moved forward, and hurriedly followed: "We seem to have lost track, how can we find those people?"

The two of them left from the ruins that could only be regarded as deserted, and entered Leibo Street through the big hole in the barbed wire fence. Only a barbed wire fence separated the two worlds.

Although the outside world was broken, it could only be regarded as desolate, and inside the barbed wire fence, although there was no human habitation, the mottled dark brown marks on the ground made both of them understand what these were.

They stepped on the ground with a loud noise, and the smell of the stranger startled several mice in the shade, and the mice lined up and ran in panic before their eyes.

"It's okay." Xiang looked at the mice and shook his head, "I have a solution."

She activates a special ability: "[Fairy Tale Garden]"

"Squeak..." the mice suddenly stopped crawling in panic, and stopped in a corner not far from the sound.

"A man passed by here just now, where did he go?" Xiang asked.

"Squeak--" the mice screamed, but Lou understood what they said.

"Go this way." Ring Brick reminded Oda Yusuke, and then walked behind the mouse to the depths of Leibo Street.

"Is this your superpower!" Oda Kosuke was shocked, "You can talk to animals! Isn't this still a magical girl!"

"I told you it's not a magical girl." Ring didn't look back, and continued to follow the mouse.

As the surrounding environment became more and more gloomy, Oda Kosuke also restrained his voice, and even unconsciously relaxed his walking steps.

"Squeak--" the mice screamed and scattered in all directions.

"Is that right there?" Hibiki and Oda Yusuke squatted in a hidden corner, and there was a heavily guarded warehouse not far from them.

In fact, there is no need to judge. Now that they are all here, against the backdrop of the surrounding devastation, the only abandoned warehouse that can be regarded as complete, or even "high-tech", must be their goal.

"This is probably their distance point. In the past, after they kidnapped the target, they might detain the kidnapped here." Xiang looked around the abandoned warehouse.

There are several people on duty at the gate of the warehouse, they should be carrying thermal weapons, and the physique of the guards should be professionally trained.

"What are we going to do? Just break in?" Oda Kosuke asked.

Xiang gave him a puzzled look: "Why do you want to break in? Now we are not considered victims, and we are breaking into this warehouse now as illegal intrusion."

"Then what should we do?" Oda Yukio scratched his head. He usually acts recklessly and doesn't like to use his brain very much. Today, he found out that someone was following his sister because he had prepared in advance.

And in fact, it was Oda Sakile who found out that someone was following him.

"Remember this place, come and monitor every few days - we don't have to do this, I can let a few animals stare around here, such as these mice, and then we just need to observe if they have any special movements, once someone disappears , just come here to find someone, that’s about it.”

The author has something to say:

Oda Kosuke: I don't like magical girls!
