The Mystery of Fangshi Edo

October 10, 31:23

The first thing Kizhang Youruhito noticed when he woke up was the faint light from the hexagonal lamps placed beside him, familiar yet unfamiliar.

He barely opened his eyes, and saw a stranger sitting on the chair opposite him, reading a report with a document in his hand. After noticing that he woke up, he hesitated for a moment and nodded to himself.

Knotweed was at a loss, nodded subconsciously in response, and then looked around—there were layers of hanging charms everywhere, candles were lit in the hexagonal lamps placed on the ground, and the room was brightly lit.The walls and floors here are made of slate, there are no windows, and it is probably underground.

It was exactly the same as the first time he was brought to the high school by Gojo Satoru, except that his hands were not tied this time.

After he was unconscious, he was fed with his finger, then Su Nuo woke up and took control of the action, and then... what happened after that?

"Excuse me..." Just as Hu Zhang spoke halfway, he suddenly saw the face of the man opposite him, and stood up with his eyes wide open, "Wait a minute, are you the leader of that group of super magic spirits?"

But it seems to be different, the breath is too different.

He put on a defensive posture, and wanted to continue asking something, when suddenly he heard the door being pushed open with a bang.

"You're awake, Youren!" Gojo Gojo greeted his students with a smile, then strode closer and introduced, "This is Xia Youjie, a former super warlock and my classmate, who was very poor before. The land was occupied by the cursed master, but now it's back to normal, you two..."

He put his hand on his chin and thought for a while, then gave a thumbs up: "It's just a good time to share the experience of being possessed by evil spirits!"

"..."

No one laughed.

Xia Youjie rubbed his temples with a headache, he hadn't escaped from the dream-like experience, and now he was even more confused by Gojo Satoru's unique bad jokes.

"Please explain the situation." He briefly expressed his needs.

"Okay, okay, in short, this is the basement of the Tokyo High School—you should have seen this, and the reason you are locked up here is," Gojo Satoru said, deepening the smile on his face, "To escape the death penalty."

Compared with knotweed all over the face' come again? Xia Youjie, who was well aware of the situation in the magic world, quickly understood what he meant, and said in a low voice, "Those guys at the top?...It hasn't changed at all until now."

The revived Xia Youjie and Knotweed Yuren were wanted by the upper echelons of the magic circle. Those people seemed to be determined to find them, especially Xia You, who was so desperate to kill them, but this order of personal will was too strong But Gojo Satoru, who had been prepared for a long time, caught the loophole. At this moment, the principal Ye Mo Zhengdao came forward to deal with those people. stupid thing.

"That's it." After hearing this, Yuzu Yujin suddenly felt relieved, he sat back on the chair, and asked again, "That is to say, the matter of Shibuya is over, right?"

The super curse spirits should all be eliminated, and even the curse master who is the leader also asked to be parasitized and go to the high school, where there should be no enemies worth worrying about.

"Haha, on the contrary, there are a large number of powerful curse spirits and evil spirits in Shibuya. It can be said to be a big crisis like the night walk of the ghosts."

"Really, Hundred Ghost Night...ah!?" Hu Zhang stood up abruptly, "How did it become like this?"

Isn't everyone in danger?

If he hadn't realized that his current control over his body was not strong enough, and going out would only cause trouble for others, he would have rushed out long ago.

It was Xia Youjie who answered him.

"Although I missed the previous things, this is probably the enemy's last struggle."

"The last struggle?" Polygonum cuspidatum puzzled, "How do you know?"

...because I once wanted to do that too.

But that cannot be said.

"It's just a talk from experience," Xia Youjie forced a smile to change the topic, and then looked at Gojo Wu: "Can you not come to support?"

"No need, the people from Kyoto High School have arrived and started to support, and there are also two strong guys over there... Ah, of course I am the strongest." He spread his hands against the wall behind his back, "Although the enemy is very strong, but Our side is even more overwhelming, and if I go there, it will be a bit cheating."

A moment of silence.

In the end, it was Knotabagi Yuhito who spoke first.

"Thank you, Mr. Wujo."

"Thank you," the silver-haired human strongest warlock deepened his smile in front of his close friends and students, "It's just another great achievement of the great teacher Wujo."

……

At the same time, Shibuya station.

All the people trapped in the barrier have been evacuated, leaving nothing but a young child standing in the corner of the station, clasping his hands nervously.

In front of him is the ghost of a warrior who is piercing through the prison gate with a blade, and a silver light can be seen bursting out from the indestructible special-grade cursed object.

But other than that, since Miya couldn't hear the voices inside, she naturally had no way of knowing Fang Shi Yangming's current state.

【"Do you want to save him?"】

Someone's voice came from inside my head.

【"Then go kill that ghost and stop all of this."】

Miya looked around, but couldn't see the source of the voice.

She clenched her hands and hesitated for a while, then shook her head and said, "You shouldn't do this, brother Fang Ming will come out, and wait for the opportunity to save the world..."

【"Really? But as far as I know, the opportunity never comes by waiting,"】The curse master who was supposed to be swallowed did not know what kind of spell, and communicated with Mimi, 【"It should be up to you to decide .”]

He was persuasive, with a calm and gentle tone, almost trying to convince the child in front of him.

In fact, the curse master is no stranger to Salvation Ranch.

After all, more than fifty years ago, he was the one who told Kensaku Mimakihara about the specific method of cultivating the savior by using spells. Unlike the rancher who sincerely believed that the end was coming and wanted to save the world, he just wanted to use children to save the world. Do experiments, explore 'human possibility' nothing more.

But the result disappointed him greatly.

There are not many successful cases in decades, and the whereabouts of the only ideal case is unknown after fleeing, and the training conditions are harsh, requiring long-term education for children in an isolated environment.

Although he had the patience to 'make' the Nine-Phase Diagram of the Curse Embryo, he was not interested in playing house games for so many years, so he quickly ignored the matter of the ranch.

But Miya, an individual who has only appeared in recent years, although it is a failure, is very good.

Also good use.

"Determine the opportunity..." She stretched out her hand in a daze, aiming at the warrior ghost not far away who was facing away from her, "In this way, brother Fang Ming can come back?"

【"Yes, that's it."】The cursing teacher said, 【"Compared to saving the world from the very beginning, it's better to start saving the people in front of you, and we'll talk about the rest later."】

"The person in front of me..."

Miya only felt her mind was in a daze, and she stretched out her hand involuntarily, but at this moment, she heard a rush of footsteps coming from the stairs next to her, and then someone running towards her.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

The outstretched hand was held by someone before the black goat was summoned. The strength was not heavy, but it was enough to make the girl wake up suddenly.

"Ah...it's Nonosuke!"

"My name is Nori Seinosuke! Forget it." The doctor wearing glasses looked seriously at the prison gate that was emitting a strange light, and the samurai who was piercing it with a blade. Now is not the time to chat, "Anyway, get out of here!"

He originally drove over and planned to meet Mei Mi and Li Huazi to leave, but he didn't wait for Mei Mi outside just now. Although Li Huazi had told him that this was the arrangement of Fang Shi Yangming and the child himself, he was still worried. People ran in to check on the situation.

After seeing Miya again unscathed, a stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.Little did they know that this act just woke up Miya, who was almost hypnotized by the curse master, and shattered the last plan of the conspirator.

"No!" Facing Seinosuke's words that he wanted to take her to escape together, Miya showed a embarrassed expression, "I can't go, brother Fang Ming promised to come out, and Miya hasn't redeemed this world yet!"

"What... tsk, what the hell is that guy doing?"

If it wasn't for the fact that there was a child by his side, Seinosuke might have scolded people a long time ago.

Noticing the almost obsessive persistence in the girl's eyes, he already understood that he could not take her away forcibly - after all, he had seen the strength of the black goat with his own eyes, and he could not be an opponent of that kind of ability.

And he was also very concerned about what Fang Shi Yangming's plan was.

So the man just let out a long sigh, took Miya's hand and stood beside her.

"Forget it, I'll wait with you." He said.

……

Within a radius of several kilometers centered on Shibuya Station, the battle was in full swing.

For safety reasons, the auxiliary supervisor has been withdrawn, replaced by the mini mechanical pill as a communication and information transmission bridge between the warlock and other personnel, and behind this, it is precisely The obstetric house is Yaozai.

Soon, all attacks were stopped and the situation was brought under control.

Sanlunxia dealt with two low-level curse spirits, and was about to go to the next location, when she heard a sound of piercing the sky from above her head. Just as she raised her knife to defend herself, the curse spirit that was about to attack was caught by Nishinomiya Momo. Hit the air with a stick.

"Ah, Nishinomiya-senpai, thank you!"

The girl quickly thanked her, but the blond conjurer floating in the air just smiled at her and pointed to the mini mechanical pill next to her ear: "You don't need to thank me, it happened that the mechanical pill asked me to check the situation around here, and then Go somewhere else."

"That's it." Miwa nodded, and said softly thank you to the mini mechanical pill in her hand.

"Thank him for what you are doing! You forgot a few days ago..." Nishinomiya recalled the depressed appearance of the school girl after discovering that Jijiwan was a traitor before, and couldn't help but clicked his tongue, and blamed the other end of the earphone, "After going back Then settle the accounts carefully!"

"Yes, I know." Such a voice came from the mini mechanical pill beside the two of them, "I have been a traitor, and I will definitely apologize to everyone."

"It's not just because of this," Miwa Kasumi's tone suddenly became serious, "and you...leaved everyone without saying anything, and transferred us all away from Shibuya without saying anything. matter. Please explain it carefully!"

She knew she was weak and was closer to an ordinary person than any of her classmates.

But...it wouldn't be that wasteful!

To be honest, she really felt annoyed this time.

Not only for Jiwan, but also for himself who almost lost his classmates and was almost powerless to face the bleak reality.

Jijiwan was silent for a while, and then said: "Okay."

After everything is over, I will definitely apologize to everyone in person.

In the Ubuyashiki mansion, Kokichi and Kokichi only felt sore eyes.

In fact, he did not expect that he would hear the voices of his classmates one day, he did not expect to be able to talk to Sanlun Xia, and he was even ready to record his last words.

The young man looked complicated, and Taishang Oribe, who had finished his task and was relaxing his mind while drinking tea, saw his expression, thought for a while, and said: "Congratulations, it's really good to be able to talk .”

Surprised by Xingji, he turned to him and asked, "How do you know?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I actually don't know," Tai Chang smiled and waved his hands, "It's just that the first time my brother was willing to open his heart and apologize to my mother, it was the expression you have now."

Xingkichi was stunned for a few seconds, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Anyway, you have to apologize.

"Uh, please allow me to remind you, Mechamaru-san," Kamo Kenji's helpless voice came from the mini Mechamaru at one end of the puppet operation, "We are still fighting, so it is not appropriate to be distracted."

"Ah, yes!"

After being reminded like this, Yuxingji immediately returned to his post.

There's still time anyway.

He is now in an unprecedented state.

……

At this time, on the other side of the battlefield.

"Ha, everyone is so weak, it's not interesting to fight."

Nagasaki Haruka looked at the curse spirit that gradually disappeared under the nail, and put the hammer on her shoulder.

Then she suddenly noticed something, raised her head and looked into the distance, and found that there was a strong magic reaction from a certain street behind the building, and it was at least a first-level magic spirit.

"Is it over there..."

The girl lowered her head and showed a gloomy and mad smile, and was about to walk there when someone grabbed her back by the collar.

"Hey! Who dares to drag you so short-sighted..."

Looking back, I found that it was Zenyuan Maki.

"Senior Maki?" She swallowed the unfinished threatening words, and the anger in her stomach disappeared all of a sudden, leaving only a look of surprise, "Why are you stopping me?"

"Let Yuta deal with the enemies over there," the bespectacled warlock let go of his junior and replied, "Let's go to other places first. There are too many enemies, so it's not appropriate to concentrate our combat power too much."

"Yuta?" Hearing the unfamiliar name, Kagezaki blinked, "You mean Otoko Yuta-senpai?"

"Well, I've been abroad before, and now I'm finally back." Maki said, turning her head and walking in a certain direction, "Don't worry, he can solve it."

Before the words fell, there was a sudden buzzing sound from the alley beside them, and the next moment, a few mosquito-like curse spirits approached the two of them.

Zenyuan Maki entered the state instantly, and killed most of them with magic tools, and the rest were basically solved by Nazaki with nails, and the last one was left, just when Maki was complaining in his heart when he was dealing with Togen Exhausting too much physical strength, when he was about to carry it down, he heard a bang, and a bullet from somewhere pierced the magic spirit's stomach, and the mosquito-like enemy fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and then began to turn into ashes .

"Ouch?" Maki put down the magic tool, turned her head to look at a certain building, but only had time to catch a flashing shadow, "Ha, that guy, Zhenyi, is really the same as before..."

Although the successive battles were tiring, her expression was much more relaxed.

……

December 10, 31:23

The center of the strong light is within the border of the prison gate.

Fang Shi Yangming sat surrounded by skeletons, looked at the key in his hand and remained silent.

"Because of what you achieved with that ghost, from now on, the world will be pierced with a hole."

The pitch-black child sat down beside him, seeming to be very close, but at the same time seemed to be far away.

"Presumably from the outside, there will be a large number of more malicious beings than me. You are really the eternal sinner of this world. At that time, those things will not be solved by humans, or even understood."

"Really?" Fang Shi Yangming closed his eyes, then stood up, "It's exactly what I thought."

In front of him, a crack appeared in the frontier of the prison gate, and he walked out through that crack.

"Where are you going?" Evil God asked.

"Hmm..." The young man thought for a moment, then smiled, "Probably B-612?"

It was a story that only belonged to a certain child.

A child who keeps promises.

And the next thing to do is to save the world, just like a child's fantasy.

"I kept you waiting, Miya." He said, "Let's go."

He came in front of Miya, nodded to Seinosuke next to him, and took the child's hand.

To be the singing well in the desert.

Go and play on the brightest star among billions of stars.

To bestow redemption on this hopeless world.

In the strange light, she showed a sincere and joyful smile, as if a silver light fell into her palm.

"Come out! Black goat!"

……

December 10, 31:23

As a result of achieving the impossible, new rules were established.

From now on, the full black goat will block the hole that is often 'outside' the world.

From now on, all newly born curse spirits will be swallowed by the black goat at the beginning of their birth.

In this way, in order to balance the two parties in the world, the number of newborns with mana powers must also drop sharply.

【"Do you think this can solve the struggle of human beings?"】Evil God asked.

"Of course not, I just don't think human beings need to pay such a big price for their negative emotions." Fang Shi Yangming replied, "There are already enough real monsters... But, what the hell...!"

"'Look at my heart, you know all I want is there, I never sold my soul to anyone! It's mine, it's a human soul! Take what I want Come on, it can't be anything dark!'”*

He read the lines he had seen in novels in the past, and smiled without any haze.

"May everyone be happy and happy. Although there will still be a lot of troubles, at least you don't have to be tied up in writing horror novels, so be it!"

The moment the light came on, everything seemed far away.

The curse spirit, human beings, and Xie Chong all stopped, looking at the place where the ray of light was emitted from a distance, as if they forgot what they were going to do, but stopped inexplicably and breathed a sigh of relief.

For a moment, the world seemed to stand still.

Nanami Kento loosened his tie, then left Ino who was still in a daze, and walked in a certain direction by himself.

"Uh, are you leaving?" Ino Takumi was puzzled.

"Look around carefully, the evil spirits here have disappeared." Jianren Qihai stretched his arms and said without looking back, "I don't want to stay any longer. I've worked overtime for a long time today."

With that said, he walked away.

He walked all the way to the periphery of the battlefield, where he saw Iji Kiyoko who was wearing a bandage on his right shoulder, but was still using his left hand to contact the warlock.

The conscientious auxiliary supervisor saw him, adjusted his glasses and asked, "Are you leaving?"

"Indeed, I am going to live a peaceful life on a small island where no one can find me, and I will never work again."

"...I understand," Yi Dizhi didn't stop him, and continued typing on the phone while bowing his head, "I will write to you."

"I won't reply." Qihai said, raising her head to look at the calm sky, "But for the sake of my old colleagues, I will read it carefully."

He just looked at the sky like that for a long time.

"What are you looking at?" Yi Dizhi asked.

"Nothing." He replied, "I just feel like I haven't looked at the sky like this for a long time."

……

At this time, somewhere outside Shibuya.

"I'll go after I've said it all, you will only cause trouble to others in the past!"

"But that's Mr. Jie! Mr. Jie has returned, we must go and see him!" Nanako argued, "Just take a look from a distance, just take a look! You won't be discovered!"

"That's right, sister Mitsuji is unreasonable!" Mimiko hugged the doll in her hand tightly, and she was about to cry.

Faced with this situation, Misamine Mitsuji could only support her forehead with a headache.

Just as she was about to take these two disobedient little devils home, she saw a strange light bursting out from a distance.

Both Mimiko and Nanako were stunned, looking at the place where the light was shining.

Don't understand what's going on.

However, I always feel that it is not a bad thing.

"Hehe...hahaha!" The red-haired Dream Soul Envoy laughed loudly, "That idiot, did you really do it!?"

……

December 10, 31:23

In front of Shibuya Station, at the large intersection.

There is only one figure left in the huge open space.

"Master Shen Nai, guardian beast..." The silver-haired descendant of Huimo family faced the light in front of him, and sang the ancient song, "One snake, two apes, three crows, four spiders..."

Ethereal voices echoed all around.

"What are you singing this for?"

Another voice came from behind her, and Li Huazi turned her head at the end, and saw Chiemi Serizawa standing there with her hands behind her back, also raising her head to look at the strange light.

"Miss Serizawa..." She responded lightly, "It's nothing, I just think it fits the occasion."

"At dusk, when the fog arrives, the banquet will begin. Before you know it, raccoon dogs come running with meat in their mouths..."

Contrary to Li Huazi's expectation, Qianzhimi also continued to sing.

"You're right, it fits the occasion." The black-haired, red-eyed woman smiled and explained, "And suddenly I thought it sounded pretty good."

"Yes, that's it..."

Li Huazi nodded slightly.

Suspicious people from Huangquan bring filth... Suspicious people from Huangquan have already died.

One day leaves one person.

Until the fog cleared and the sky cleared.

When the singing ended, a black goat could be vaguely seen embracing the light, and then slowly disappeared.

In silence, November came quietly.

……

…………

After the incident ended, the magic world fell into a great shock.

Just like what Fang Shi Yangming said, the number of children with magic powers has dropped sharply, even in ancient families of magic spells. They panicked at first, but soon found that the number of magic spirits has also dropped sharply. At this rate, Probably by now the generation who possesses the power of mantras will gradually age, and the mantras in the world will gradually disappear.

There were a lot of troublesome things, and when it was almost the New Year, things gradually became stable.

"Junpei, when will your friends arrive?"

In Yoshino's house, Nagi had already ordered a table of New Year's dishes, and the first half of the red and white song was shown on the TV, which added a bit of excitement to the family of only two.

"It will be here in about a while."

Yoshino Junpei was packing up in his room upstairs, when suddenly he found Satoko's high school uniform in the corner, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

I almost forgot that I still have such a past...

But now I don't seem to care at all.

He just smiled at the end, then folded the school uniform and put it back in the locker.

Let's find some time tomorrow and have a good talk with my mother.

About how he got over the days of being bullied, and how he met this group of good friends now.

The boy tidied up the cabinets and opened the curtains, only to see that the familiar street scene had been covered with a layer of fresh snow.

The neighbor's house re-hanged the "for rent" wooden sign, and it was very deserted.

During the Shibuya incident, he had never met Fang Shi Yangming, nor had he received any news from the other party, only based on the news from the report that 'the special magic spirit has been exorcised'.

That person has died in that incident?

Maybe.

But maybe someday we will meet again.

After all, no one can say for sure about Mr. Fang Shi.

He was in a daze for a while, and then went downstairs to help his mother decorate the living room. At this moment, he heard the doorbell.

"Excuse me, happy new year!" Knotabagi Yujin was carrying a box of oranges, "Ah, I didn't know what to buy, so I just bought this."

"That price is a fraud at all!" Nazaki said dissatisfiedly, "Wait until next year you go to my hometown to have a look, the cheap ones are damn cheap...Wow, it's so cold."

She stomped her feet, Junpei hurriedly opened the door and let the two of them in.

After entering the room, Nagi Yoshino greeted them happily, and then asked, "It seems that there is another classmate?"

"Ah, Fu Hei was accompanying his sister in the hospital just now, and he probably will arrive later than us." Knotabazu Yuhito explained.

"Anyway, let's eat all the oranges behind that guy's back!" Kizaki said enthusiastically.

"I heard it all." Such a voice came from the door.

Just as Yoshino Junpei opened the door for Fukuroe, he turned his head and smiled at Nagasaki Yamei with some embarrassment.

"How's your sister?" Knotweed asked.

"Tsun Miki has already fallen asleep." He said, "There is nothing serious, and she will be discharged from the hospital in a few years."

"I see." The pink-haired boy smiled, "It's great to meet again..."

While talking, he suddenly saw a face outside the living room window.

It's Aoi Todo.

With a gratified smile on his face, he looked at him.

"Wow!!"

The knotweed was so frightened that he was so clever that in order to prevent Dongtang from entering the house, he could only rush out the door.

"Why are you here! I don't remember that Junpei said to invite you!" He ran wildly in the heavy snow, followed by Dongtang, who was chasing after him, "Shouldn't you celebrate the New Year with the people from the Kyoto High School? Don't come here without authorization. Other people's house!"

"It was like that, but my longing for a dear friend brought me here!"

"What a best friend! We've only fought a few times together!"

"Haha, you are here again, you have been like this since before..."

……

Tokyo, a certain hospital.

"The curse has been completely eradicated, and the patient can then be considered for transfer to a general hospital."

Butterfly Ninja said to the doctor next to him—this doctor had already been greeted by Yoya Shiki, so he was very cooperative with Ninja's arrangement.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"No, it's you who have worked hard." Shinobu nodded to the doctor, "I'll leave it to you."

After the last round of examinations, she put on her coat and left the hospital.

A car was parked on the side of the deserted street, and when it saw her going out, it slowly approached.

Shinobu opened the car door and got in. It was her older sister, Butterfly Kanae, who was driving.

"It's hard work." Kanae said, taking out a plastic bag, "I bought oden and hot milk, let's have some before going home."

"Ah, thank you." He took it with a smile, "Are Mom and Dad at home?"

"Of course, it's all waiting for us to go back and celebrate the New Year soon."

During the conversation, the car has started.

The street scene outside the window flickers on the falling snow, like a Milky Way.

……

The Ubuyashiki family is relatively deserted today.

Yaozai stood in front of the window looking at the snow scene, Huilizai had reached the age where he couldn't stay up late, so he went to bed early, now there are hardly many people in the huge mansion.

Tanjiro and the others seem to be with their descendants. Like Ji Kuniwakatsu who is a ghost, they will not go back until the next year's Obon Festival, and the other team members are also with their family members in this life. To celebrate the New Year together, even Tianyin returned to Yidao's house.

She stayed quietly for a while, planning to go to bed early today, but at this moment, there was a sound of opening the door from the entrance of the house.

Yaozai turned around and saw Tianyin walking in with a bag.

"Tianyin? Why are you back?"

Tianyin just walked into the house, and replied unhurriedly: "As far as I know, Mr. Yi Hei also visited Ganlu Temple's house this year."

Yaozai paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "You mean it's the same situation?"

"What do you think?" Tianyin took out the wine jug in her bag and looked at her with a smile.

"...Anyway, I'll take out the kotatsu and oranges first." Yaoya said, and then asked, "Shall we go watch the sunrise together tomorrow?"

"it is good."

……

Can be at home.

"And then, Mimi got the 'key', and then, with a click, the black goat flew into the sky!"

On the sofa in the living room, Miya was talking about her experience of saving the world for the first time.

After the complete black goat left, she is no longer a supernatural being.

Once the 'meaning of existence' is completed, all that remains is a new and unknown path.

"Miss Li Huazi, I think it's still necessary to let Mimi go to school until next year...no, around the next year..."

"Then it won't be too late to talk about it in the next year."

Seinosuke talked about her arrangement for Miya, but Li Huazi was not interested in it. She took out a few pieces of paper with the Chinese characters and pseudonyms of the surname written on them, and put them in front of Miya.

"Come and pick one as your last name."

After going through so many things, Huimo Li Huazi has not been obsessed with inheriting Huimo's surname for a long time, nor does she want Mimi to become the adopted daughter of the Nosato family.

Of course, she didn't intend to let the shadow of the past named 'Makihara' continue to hang over Miya, so she asked her to choose a surname she liked.

Miya lowered her head and picked it for a while, then pointed to a piece of paper and said, "That's it!"

"Let me see...'Donghu'? A good surname."

……

The new year is here, and everything seems to have a new beginning.

January [-]st, early in the morning.

Serizawa Chieda went out on a motorcycle. She drank and watched TV alone at home last night, and fell asleep without knowing it. When she woke up in the morning, she took a shower and just wanted to come out to get some air.

"Huh, nature is better."

After quitting her job as a conjurer, she hasn't found a new one yet, and everything will be discussed in a year.

To be honest, I don't really want to sit in an office.

How to do it?Why don't you just try to be a hunter?

Thinking wildly, she drove the car to a familiar mountain nearby, found a big rock, swept off the snow and sat down.

She was in a daze when she suddenly heard someone sitting behind her.

Qianzhi smiled and didn't look back.

"I had a dream," she said.

"What did you dream about?" asked the person behind him.

"I dreamed that Mr. Yangming died."

"It's a pity, but it probably wasn't a dream."

"Maybe," Qianzhi changed her tone, "but no one stipulates that it is reality."

The people behind couldn't help laughing: "That's right! Who is it that defined that as death? I just disappeared."

Qian Zhishi said: "So? What are you doing here today?"

"Strange question, that, of course I came to return my motorcycle that was driven away by someone again after I left."

"……That's it?"

"Uh, by the way, say hello to an old friend?"

Chieda jumped off the rock, then walked to the side of the motorcycle, picked up a helmet and wanted to hand it to Yangming, but paused and asked, "Can I still call you Mr. Yangming?"

Fang Shi Yangming took the helmet and replied naturally: "Is there anyone who stipulates that it is not allowed?" Then he subconsciously wanted to get in the car, but was stopped by Qian Zhishi.

"Okay, Mr. Yangming." She smiled brightly, "I'll drive, you sit in the back seat."

The author has something to say: *This passage is taken from "Roadside Picnic" by the former Soviet novelist Strugatsky. By the way, Tarkovsky's science fiction film "Stalker" is adapted from this book novel.

----

This is the end.

When I started writing this article, I just learned something at the end of January 2021.

Amphibian, the chief writer of Werewolf Village, has left Kemco (should have gone to Xingyue), and there will be no sequels with the same worldview.

The story of Fang Shi Yangming and Xiushui people seemed to come to an abrupt end.

Just like in Borges's short story "The Eternal Gift", the painting will never be painted because of the painter's departure, and thus becomes an infinite painting.

Although it is a pity, whether it is Renlang Village or Fang Shi Yangming, its charm is also hidden in the seemingly infinite possibilities. Maybe some people think it is better for him to spend the rest of his life with someone, and some people think that he is actually restrained. A certain existence is better... In short, an unfinished story, a person who will be full of unknowns in the future, there is probably nothing more fascinating than this.

So I still want to express my wish when I wrote the article——

I hope I can go to play the mystery of the wolf village alone! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
