The world is restarting

Sawada Ya withdrew her gaze from the front seat, and patted the little girl who rushed over to hug her.

"Don't do unnecessary things, okay?" the person in the driver's seat said, "I just need your help. I can let you go after the matter is over. Can you be more obedient?"

The man's voice was full of exhaustion. He didn't even look like a kidnapper at all. He spoke in a gentle manner and threatened others in a negotiating tone, as if he was afraid of scaring them.If it weren't for the current situation, people would think that he must be a very gentle person who loves children very much.

Not knowing if this attitude weakened his sense of threat, Ayumi sobbed while hugging Sawada Ya, then turned her head and asked, "Where are you taking us? What are you going to do?"

"You'll know when it arrives."

After the man said this sentence, he stopped looking at them, looked ahead, and concentrated on driving.Sawada Ya gently patted Ayumi on the back patiently to comfort her, while turning her gaze to the passenger seat.

There was one person sitting there.

A strand of carefully permed wavy hair protruded from the gap in the back of the seat. The woman sitting in the co-pilot had not said a word since they opened their eyes, and the strand of long hair remained motionless, except when the car turned Sometimes it swayed slightly, and other times it was as quiet as death.

"Hey, Sawada-san, I'm sorry."

Sawada Ya was looking at that person and thinking about something, when Ayumi in her arms suddenly spoke in a low voice in frustration.She probably thought that her own screams had alarmed the prisoner, and by the way, she had also implicated Sawada Ya.

"It's all my fault, if I hadn't gotten up in the middle of the night...this wouldn't have happened."

Sawada Ya was slightly taken aback, and looked down at her.

She seems to be calm and calm no matter what the situation is, but because her appearance is too delicate and cute, when she opens her eyes a little and looks at her, she always looks innocent and ignorant like a kitten who opened her eyes to see the world for the first time. People unconsciously began to worry about her again.

In the eyes of Ayumi at this time, the young lady sitting by the window is like a little fairy who does not eat fireworks. Looking at her, you will think of the cherry blossoms blooming on the branches in early spring. They are beautiful and fragile, and people can't help but worry about whether the coming monsoon rain will wet its tender stamens.

Although she was two years younger than Sawada Ya, Ayumi suddenly had an unreasonable sense of responsibility "I want to protect her!"She raised her head slightly in the posture of hugging her, and her eyes were very firm.

The big and small cases she experienced with Conan made her calmer than children of the same age when she was in trouble, and she couldn't fully believe what the kidnapper said.

"When the man opened the door and got out of the car, I ran over and hugged his feet. Sawada-san seized the opportunity and ran!"

Sawada Ya blinked her eyes, then lowered her voice, leaned close to Ayumi's ear and whispered back, "Ayumi is worried about me?"

"Eh?" Seeing her beautiful pupils that were very close together, Ayumi blushed for some reason.

"Don't be afraid, nothing will happen."

Sawada Ya said that her voice is light, but there is a kind of convincing power for no reason.

"Hmm...um!" Ayumi looked at her blankly, then nodded subconsciously, for some reason, she seemed to feel a little relieved.

The Five-Party Pagoda was originally a popular scenic spot. Although it was originally built in the deep mountains, driven by money, the developer artificially leveled the difficult road.The driveway for vehicles circles along the hillside from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain, and finally extends to a flat open space.

Further up is a narrow path for tourists to climb, winding all the way to the gate of the temple. Standing in the open space below and looking up, the five-square pagoda in the night has already stood in front of you.

The car stopped in front of the open space, and Sawada Ya sneezed when she pulled Ayumi out of the car. She rubbed her nose and felt a little dizzy.

Tonight is a full moon, and the cold moonlight is falling from the sky. The towers and Buddhist temples not far away are bathed in the moonlight, and there is a kind of sacred tranquility.

The man pulled out a bulky backpack from the trunk of the car, put it on his shoulders, and looked at the pagoda with a complex and fiery look. He beckoned to the two children, "Let's go."

After he finished speaking, he took the lead and walked in front. Before he had to speak, the other person sitting in the co-pilot had already consciously followed.

Sawada Ya followed behind the man with Ayumi, raised her eyelids and took a look at the man.

She didn't catch up with the scene of the couple's quarrel this afternoon, and only glanced at them in a hurry when they left.But with her good memory, she still recognized the two people in the afternoon, and the girl named Qing Shui in the passenger seat.

During the day, she was like a rose with thorns, and when she was angry, she was full of vitality and beauty, but now the rose seemed to be made of plastic.She followed behind the man, staring straight ahead blankly, walking forward step by step, as if half of her three souls and six souls were missing.

The chill of the forest at night filled the long steps, and they walked up in darkness and silence, only the sound of their own footsteps could be heard along the way.

Ayumi stumbled as she stepped on the stone steps. The dense forests on both sides of the mountain road blocked most of the moonlight. She accidentally stepped on a stone, her body staggered, and she was about to fall. Suddenly, a hand stretched out in front of her. Hold on.

"Are you all right?" the man asked.

Ayumi was startled, and reflexively shook off his hand and took a big step back.

The man paused for a moment with his empty hand, then retracted it calmly, and asked softly, "Can you still walk?"

If he wasn't the one who forcibly brought them here, his attitude could almost be praised as gentle and careful.

Sawada Ya raised her spirits, looked at him thoughtfully, and pulled Ayumi, who was a little at a loss, to her side, "I can walk."

"Then go on."

The man turned his head and remained silent.

They walked in the dark for more than ten minutes, and suddenly their eyes lit up, and the tall spire was already close in front of them.

The Buddhist temple where the five-party pagoda is located is inhabited by monks, but of course they have all rested at this time.The man named Keito Matsuo used some method to pry open the gate of the Buddhist temple, and sneaked in with them without a sound.

"Don't think about calling someone." The man warned without turning his head while leading the way, "Even if you speak out now, others won't be able to hear you."

Sawada Ya remained silent, she could already feel the "art" that shrouded them from the moment they entered the door without him reminding her.

This man is also a person on the psionic side, but he doesn't seem to be particularly deep, at best he is only half-hearted.

They walked through the small path next to the main hall of the Buddhist temple. The man seemed to be very familiar with the layout of the temple, and led them to find the five-square pagoda with three or two turns.

Ze Tianya followed the man through the open space in front of the pagoda, watched him open the pagoda door somehow, and walked in first.

The five-square pagoda has a long history, and the whole is a wooden structure, and there are no modern lamps installed inside.Open the door and look inside, it's all pitch black.

After the man entered the door, there were rustling noises in the darkness. After a while, a cluster of flames lit up first, followed by the second cluster, and the third cluster...

Mira Sawada stood beside the door with Ayumi and the doll-like Ms. Shimizu, watching the man kneeling in the center of the first-floor tower, taking out candles from his backpack and lighting them on the ground. pious.

She leaned against the door and looked at it for a while, then asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?"

The man in the middle of the candlelight turned his head back, under the flickering light, that gentle face revealed a sense of deep fatigue and some inexplicable hope. These two emotions were intertwined, making the expression deep in his pupils All dazed.

"...Do you know the bell of Daocheng Temple?"

"The construction time of the Five-Party Pagoda can be traced back to 400 years ago. It is said that the pagoda existed first, and the surrounding Buddhist temples were built around it later. Its fame in the local area is not only due to the legend, but also has a certain historical background."

After Huiyuan Ai found the information Conan wanted, he sent the screening part to him, "The most important part of the pagoda is the Buddhist bell enshrined on the top floor, which is older than the pagoda itself... You know Daocheng Temple, right? "

"The temple in "Jing Luziniang Daocheng Temple"?"

Conan checked the data with his mobile phone, and the dark tree shadows outside the car window beside him quickly receded, only a bright moon hung high in the middle of the night, which was an eternal setting.

"Yes, Daocheng Temple was abandoned in the 11th year of Kanyong, that is, in [-]. At that time, everything in the temple was sold off. It is said that the bell enshrined in the Wufang Pagoda was invited back from Daocheng Temple by a wealthy businessman at that time. .”

"Daocheng Temple... the bell..."

Conan slid the screen backwards, his eyes dimmed, "Put these two words together, there is always a bad feeling."

"Is it the story of Qingji and Anzhen? The girl who couldn't love the monk turned into a giant snake because of her hatred, and finally burned herself and Anzhen who was hiding in the bell... Well, it should be just a legend."

"Who knows at a time like this..." Conan paused with his fingertips sliding on the screen, and turned his head to look out the window as if he sensed something.

"What's wrong?" Hui Yuanai on the other end of the phone felt as if he hadn't finished speaking.

"Hey, let me say, Huiyuan."

Conan put down his phone, leaned on the car window with the headset on and looked out, his clear and bright eyes reflected the full moon hanging high in the sky suspiciously.

Hui Yuan Ai heard his solemn voice, "Do you think that the moon tonight...is a little strangely red?"

Huiyuan Ai was startled, and was about to turn his head to look out the window, when he suddenly heard the screeching sound of rubber rubbing against the ground, followed by Conan's cry of pain.

"What's wrong?!"

"No, it's okay, Amuro stepped on the brakes, I accidentally hit my head...we're already here."

Then there was the "click" of the door being pulled open, and the person over there seemed to have jumped out of the car.

Hui Yuanai heaved a sigh of relief, and returned his gaze to the computer, "In short, please pay attention..."

"Grey Yuan!"

Before she could say the word "safety", the person opposite suddenly interrupted her.This time she heard correctly, and the other party's tone became serious.

"I remember you told me that when you drive along the Panshan Highway to the parking lot, you can see the open space of the Wufang Pagoda when you look up. There is only one road next to it. Go up along it and you will reach the Buddhist temple, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"So, why are there two roads in front of us now?"

"?!"
