Four years ago, there was a big fire.

It was the second year after the grandmother next door passed away, so it is impossible to remember wrongly.

Counting back, Kurapika would have been 12 years old at the time, and it snowed heavily that winter.According to my impression, it was the third day of the first lunar month. He was entrusted by his uncle to go shopping in the village, and the shopkeeper served him milk and boiled beans.He was still thinking—"This is like a kid running errands" but out of politeness and childishness, he accepted it.

On the way back, I walked on the snow.

Inadvertently looked up.

What cuts through the sunset is a...

cigarette--

Black smoke, white smoke, soot, sparks... all kinds of smoke, billowing thick smoke straight into the sky, it turned out that it was not sunset, a sudden chill rushed to the heart.Maybe it was a premonition, he ran quickly to overtake the big banyan tree, the tense atmosphere turned into noise and came from all directions, the sound was getting closer and closer, and finally raging flames poured in, filling his side.

The whole village is on fire—

—fire—?

The front is dyed orange.

Ahhh.

People... Is there anyone else in there?

Everything was burning, burning red.

The eyes were dyed red by the flames, and crackling sounds could be heard everywhere.

water, get water...

It was a very stupid act, and it was a drop in the bucket, because it was obvious at a glance that the fire was hopeless. Even if the roof was pierced and the weather was beautiful, heavy snowfall would not be able to extinguish the fire.The burning wood made a crackling sound. Facing the scene of the fire, his forehead and cheeks were almost scorched, but he still couldn't help but look at it. There was a sudden bang, as if a giant fell down, which sounded like a painful whine.

Kurapika is like a moth to a flame, slowly, slowly marching towards the karmic flames of hell.A large amount of smoke covered the sky, and the shapes of the flames changed endlessly, vigorously praising the death of human beings. He could only stand blankly and watch all this.

The boy took a breath tremblingly in the stench and pungent smoke-smelling air.Then, I took another breath... I accidentally choked, coughing non-stop, accompanied by tears all over my face.

He fell to his knees and closed his eyes.

Ashes danced in the air.

The fire burned for a whole day. After the raging, the area became a desolate scorched earth. Even the nearby small forest was completely wiped out. There was nothing incombustible. It was completely burned. In a foreign world.

Steam was rising from the ground, and the snow was still falling.

Kurapika dragged the heavy pick, staggered to dig and pull it out, sweat and other fluid dripping from his face.Then, between the black charcoal and ashes, he found an almost pure black object—a head, this—he put down his pickaxe, and used his hands to scrape away the rubble. The scorched human-shaped object had no eyeballs.Every one of them, blood dripped from his fingers, and everyone had their eyeballs gouged out before the fire burned.

A fusion of snow and blood remained on the ground.

and the mark of the spider.

This is--

[Absolutely with your own hands...]

"This is the library, right?"

Walking forward for about ten meters, a building appeared on the side of the road. It was a gray building. Since it was surrounded by shrubs and weeds, only the part above the second floor could be seen from a distance.There is also a small street sign on the right. There is no text on it, but a pattern drawn with white paint. Although most of it has peeled off and is difficult to identify, it is definitely the shape of a book.

Mu Chuan squatted down, touched the road sign with his hand, wiped off the dust on it, and revealed the small text below.Half illiterate, she managed to connect the font and pronunciation together, which can be regarded as a review of the fifty-syllabic chart that she just learned in the morning.

"What is it?" The young man with dark hair came to her side and bent down, "Eleven?"

"Well, maybe it's something like a password." The little girl stood up, and looked around to the back of the library, where the trees were already close to the outer wall, with countless branches and leaves stretched out, as if to cover the roof.

The knight also straightened up and followed her gaze: "Aren't you afraid?"

"what?"

He smiled pointedly, and his eyes were also crooked: "Haunted house, girls your age are usually afraid."

... It's not just a haunted house, you are the most frightening ones, right?

Mu Chuanyu looked away silently, and said in a calm tone: "I'm just curious about the artifact that person said, it is said that it can reverse time, and it can bring people back to life."

"14?" he asked.

"There are still a few months."

Knew it.

The knight glanced at Fei Tan, just in time to see his squinted eyes.My hobbies are studying all kinds of machinery, computers and mobile phones, or modifying electrical appliances. The team leader is reading books and archaeology, and thinking about philosophical issues from time to time, and this guy Feitan... other than interrogation, probably the only pleasure is abusing little girls Well, this point was tacitly called by others in the brigade——

"Grumpy Lolicon"

This time the little girl happened to be not afraid of them, not only was she alive and well, she didn't scream when she saw blood, she was also very good-looking, she was the perfect target.

"You came to Warsaw alone."

A hoarse male voice sounded, and Mu Chuan turned his head to look at the man with black hair who had been silent before. His hands were in his pockets, but there was an indescribable hostility in his eyes, and it always felt chilly to be stared at like this.The girl hummed and smiled at him again: "I've always been alone."

The girl with black hair and red pupils has long and curved eyelashes, like fluttering butterfly wings, and her unmistakable face looks pure and full of childishness, exuding youthful plumpness, obviously just a bud about to bloom, The outline of the face was cast with a natural orange glow under the sun.

Harmless and delicate, without the slightest danger.

Not paying attention to the other party's suddenly slightly stiff expression, Mu Chuan walked around the closed front door of the library, walked to the back door, and looked up at the metal plate the size of the door leaf. Judging from the hinge on the other end, it could obviously be opened.

"The basement?" the knight asked.

"Perhaps, there is a model of the library in the glass case of the coffee shop, which is placed near the pills. I took a look at it, and someone marked it with red dots." Mu Chuan tiptoed to touch the brass plate, and left The next two people watched her movements calmly, and saw the little girl staggering and trying to push with her fingertips, but it was a pity that she was only a little bit short every time.

After a while, she lowered her arms, turned her face to look at the two of them again, and said solemnly: "I can't reach it."

"..." It's a bit silly.

The knight moved the brass plate to the side for her. It may have been a long time since no one moved it, and the dust kept falling.Then the door opened with a creak, and the stairs leading to the underground appeared inside. The depth of the stairs was hidden in darkness, and nothing could be seen.

——This means that she should walk in the front, and if there is any mechanism, she will be the first to die.

Mu Chuan sighed in his heart, and then stepped on the stairs leading to the ground. The cold air seemed to have settled down below, and it was chilly under his feet, and he could faintly smell dust and mildew.After walking for a while, a half-fold-sized space appeared in front of me. There was an iron door with an L-shaped handle on it.

"I can't push it away." The little girl turned sideways to make room, "I'm sorry, I'm useless."

"……"As long as you know.

The knight didn't know what to complain about. He supported the doorknob and pushed it forward—it was really heavy. No wonder people here couldn't open it even if they knew there was a basement, and they couldn't get the key.It would be nice if Wo Jin was there.

"Tsk, you are so weak." Fei Tan sneered.

Knight:? ? ?

He twitched the corners of his mouth, stopped pushing the door, put his hands in his pockets, stepped back half a step, gave up his position with a smile on his face, and said "you go, you go" brightly on his face.

Standing by the side, Mu Chuan watched the two people come and go, she shook her head in pain, her tone full of regret: "Oh, so you can't open it either."

Although it is a statement of fact, it feels weird no matter how you listen to it, as if the dignity of a man has been subtly bruised.The two looked at each other, and looked at the innocent girl at the same time. She was stunned for half a second, then immediately opened her bright red eyes and tilted her head: "What's wrong?"

She still looks innocent and harmless, so it's probably an illusion.

No, it's not an illusion.Mu Chuanwei drooped his eyes, looking at the white mist that suddenly surged from the two of them, and then this white mist flowed to the surface of the fist and covered it, like an armed domineering.Then raised his hand and hammered, and the door panel quickly shattered, like knocking chocolate, falling down piece by piece.

She immediately clapped her hands in cooperation: "Wow, that's amazing!"

Really, I always feel that there is a mockery in it.

Before the two members of the brigade thought about the deep meaning of this sentence, the black-haired girl walked into the square room first. There were still cobwebs hanging from the ceiling, the walls were black and moldy, and the floor was piled with wood. And bricks, and two kerosene cans with a capacity of twenty liters side by side.

There are aluminum alloy windows on the wall, but there is a fake sun on the surface. The reason why you can see the indoor situation clearly is the overhead light. Pull the iron chain hanging down to light up the light bulb, but it is not broken.

There are picture frames hanging on the wall in front of it, depicting a certain port with several yachts moored, and a puppet doll in crimson clothes sitting on the window sill. It is a girl with short hair and round green eyes. There was a lot of dust on the small shoulders, and there was a small round alarm clock hanging on the shoulders.

Eleven past five.

Miss Wei picked up the alarm clock, turned it around and pinched the knob on the back, and turned it back to eleven o'clock.Immediately, the alarm clock played a piece of jingling organ music. I don't know what it was, about six or seven syllables. She listened to it in silence.

"Let's go." The little girl put the clock back in place.

The knight looked away and looked at her: "What did you find?"

She pursed her lips, her bright red eyes refracted different lights under the dim light, switching back and forth between rose red, deep purple, peach wine, hibiscus, and gemstone rose, with baby fat on her cheeks, a milky look temperament.

Not paying attention to the two cast eyes, the girl's pursed lips quickly moved upwards, and there were two small dimples on her cheeks, leading to a smile with a confident and proud brilliance.

"Although I haven't heard this song at all, it's enough for me to memorize the score once."
