August 2007, 9—

I double-checked the date, and it did inexplicably span two days. Is this the effect of Haibara's spell?Or the ability of that curse spirit?

At that time, I dragged the unconscious Huiyuan for about 10 minutes before being spotted by the patrolling forest ranger. When he saw me, he was so frightened that his flashlight fell to the ground. He was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that I was not a spirit in the woods.

After picking up the flashlight, I was taken aback by Hui Yuanxiong who was dragging in my hand. I just found an excuse of "falling from a high place and bleeding head", but the forest ranger believed it directly and told me here There are many dangerous places.

"The wounded cannot be dragged, it is easy to cause secondary injury." The ranger took Huiyuan's body from my hands, and carefully put his arms on his shoulders to support him.

"Oh, good." I pretended to be educated, but what I thought in my heart was that it would be great if I could take it away by the way, who cares about the wound, and it's not dead.

The forest ranger led the way, and quickly turned out of the forest with seven twists and turns. As soon as he stepped out of the forest, the sudden ringing of the phone broke the silence.

The male voice deliberately lowered his voice and repeatedly yelled "Hey, what are you doing, answer the phone quickly." Under the strange eyes of the forest ranger, I pressed the answer button without changing my face: "Enlightenment?"

"What's the matter, I haven't been able to get through to your phone these two days?"

His tone was weird, and I didn't pay much attention to it: "It's been two days since I killed that curse spirit. I don't know if it's the ability of the curse spirit."

"Where are you now?" The voice on the other end of the phone was extremely low.

"..." I turned my head and asked the ranger next to me, "Where is this?"

Ranger: "Huh? It's a small town in Tottori."

I nodded and replied Gojo Satoru: "In Tottori."

Gojo Satoru is at the scene of the battle two days ago, and his unobstructed six eyes clearly scanned all the traces of the scene: "Tottori? Aren't you in Wakayama?"

"Yeah, but I met a troublesome guy whose ability can take people to other places."

I was waiting for Gojo Satoru to ask who I was, but he suddenly lowered his tone: "Really, no wonder..."

"? What's wrong?"

Gojo Satoru propped up one leg and leaned against the tree trunk. No emotion could be heard in his voice: "Qihai and Huiyuan made a mistake in their mission of subjugating the second-level curse spirits. They encountered a first-level curse spirit in Wakayama."

"Qihai escaped with injuries all over her body. Huiyuan used the spell and the curse spirit to die together, leaving no bones left."

He looked up at the blue and clear sky, his voice was slightly astringent: "I didn't expect that guy's magic formula to have that kind of ability. ——I thought you were also in Wakayama, it's not difficult for a first-level spell spirit But you...the result was that I couldn't get through the phone for two days in a row."

"……"perish together?No bones left?I glanced at Huiyuan, who was being supported by someone, with a strange expression on his face.

"I wanted to use that button to find you, but you will definitely be scolded for wasting it."

I replied in seconds: "Yes. No. That is very precious."

He laughed as if he had expected it a long time ago: "I knew it, so I came here by myself. There is nothing here except for the remnants of their spell power, and even the filth of that spell spirit has disappeared."

ah.Cruel...

The disappearance of the filth should be because I took out the fragments. The source of the power was taken away, and all the power, including the filth, would collapse.

However, "Did you go to Wakayama? It's far away from Hokkaido."

"You must go, you can't get through the phone, who knows if you have encountered something difficult." He paused, and then added, "Besides, I also planned to see the traces left at the scene. "

"At least I have to find the body of my junior." Gojo Satoru half-closed his eyes and mocked, "There was nothing in the end."

He said a lot, but I only noticed one thing: "Are you worried about me?"

"..." Gojo Satoru didn't seem to expect to be pointed out directly by me, and the eyes that were about to close opened suddenly, tangled for a while, and admitted awkwardly, "Why. Can't it."

"No, just ask." My mood suddenly improved, and I suddenly felt that it might be a good decision to save Huiyuan, "I have a surprise for you, Wu."

Gojo Satoru: "When you say you want to surprise me, isn't it implying that your own birthday is approaching and you want me to surprise you? — Don't worry, I haven't forgotten."

I puffed my face: "This kind of boring thing is only for you to do, I really have a surprise for you."

"Hey, what do you mean I will do it?"

"It's literally."

……

……

Breathe... can't breathe...

So painful.

The closed eyelids opened suddenly, and the whole person sat up with force from the waist and abdomen, and the chaotic eyes gradually became clear, and then a trace of confusion slowly rose.

"...Where is this?" He muttered to himself.

"It's a hospital."

A female voice suddenly sounded beside him, and Huiyuan was so frightened that he jumped up from the bed, and was pressed down by her shoulders forcibly: "Don't move, the needle will slip."

"An, hiccup, Senior Anna?" Hiccup was scared.

I let go, yawned, and responded, "Yeah."

Huiyuan looked at me stupidly, and asked, "I'm not dead... Could it be that you, senior, are also dead?"

I:"……"

Me: "If you want, I can beat you to death now."

He reacted suddenly: "Ah! No, no, no, no! ——You must have saved me, senior! Thank you very much!"

Well, I got it right.

I lazily replied: "I didn't save it on purpose, it was just casually."

"No matter what the reason is, you did save me." He rubbed the back of his head and said with a silly smile, "I can see my family and friends again. Ah, and I can continue to help those who need me."

"That's great."

I stared at his smile carefully, and found that he really didn't care about what I said, but thanked me seriously without any haze.

The corners of his lips curled up: "Is that so? Then you have to work hard. Wu Ke complains about the lack of conjurers all day long."

Haibara responded loudly, full of energy: "Yes!"

Then he approached me mysteriously and asked in a low voice: "I understand, Senior Anna. You decided to save me because of the complaints of Gojo senior."

A string of ellipses seemed to appear above my head: "...It's really handy."

"Yeah, I understand." Although he said so in his mouth, there was no expression of belief on his face.

Then, as if he remembered something, he said to me: "That's right. Senior Anna, can I borrow my phone? I'm very worried about Qihai's situation."

"Oh, don't worry, he arrived at the high school safely, and you should worry about yourself."

"Huh?" A blank expression.

I reminded: "When you used that technique, you planned to die with the curse spirit, right? Now they all think that you are dead and there is nothing left."

"Eh?! Then I need to make a phone call!"

"No need for now, you can take this opportunity to surprise them." I seriously analyzed it for him, "Imagine, if a companion who was thought to be dead suddenly appeared in front of him, he would definitely act differently from usual. Maybe I will hold you and cry bitterly."

"For example, your classmate Qihai, he is usually quite indifferent."

Huiyuan nodded blankly: "Yes...but it's also very reliable."

I automatically ignored the second half of his sentence: "In this case, maybe you can see his crying expression, aren't you curious?"

like……

I'm really a little curious...

Huiyuan couldn't help touching his chest, his conscience was aching: "Would this be a bit too much? He didn't die but deliberately kept it secret..."

"The temporary sadness now is for better surprises in the future." I made a final decision, "Just do this. I saved you, so listen to me."

Instantly honest: "Good senior."

Why do you suddenly feel like Senior Anna and Senior Gojo?Is it an illusion...

"Is there anything wrong with you?" I interrupted his thoughts aloud.

Huiyuan replied honestly: "No...it was because I felt that I couldn't breathe before and suddenly woke up. It should be because of the injury."

"Oh. That. No. I pinched your nose on purpose."

"……what?"

"Because you slept soundly, you couldn't wake up no matter how you screamed, and I have something to say, so I tried to pinch your nose." He rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "It's quite easy to use, this method. "

Hui Yuanxiong was so shocked that he was almost at a loss for words: "...Oh, oh, okay..."

"Okay, I have something to go, you have to lie down for another day with your injury, go back to the high school tomorrow."

"Okay! Goodbye, senior!"

I waved my back to him and walked out.

The address of the second note happened to be in Tottori, and it took two hours to arrive at the destination, which was an ancient village.

The villagers who live inside maintain their ancient customs and are very exclusive. When I walk on the streets of the village, there will always be people in twos and threes discussing me.

I could have heard it clearly, but some random, noisy sound kept drilling into my ears.

Human bodies, roofs of houses, wide roads, and strange-looking curse spirits are climbing everywhere. They move nimbly and jump from one end to the other, clinging to different human beings.

Like flies surrounding the toilet, buzzing all the time.

……

It's amazing, there are so many curse spirits in a small village.

I headed towards the destination without squinting. It was a Heshi wooden house near the mountains.

There was no answer after knocking on the door, so I pushed open the door and walked through the long corridor to the end, in front of me was a prison cell made of wood.

Two bruised little girls were held in the cell.

"You, who are you?" The black-haired little girl asked me tremblingly.

I didn't answer, but looked at the note in my hand repeatedly, lost in thought—strange, the location is indeed right here, but why is it not a curse spirit, but a human being?

Could it be that fragments can now attach to humans?

The white-haired girl curled up next to the black-haired girl took a step forward, holding on to the wooden railing tightly with both hands, suppressing her fear: "Who the hell are you!——Are those guys asking you to teach us a lesson?"

I raised my eyelids to look at her, and the girl who could barely summon up courage took a step back in fear and fell to the ground.

……

Too weak.

Even the more courageous child can only be as impotent and furious as a milk dog.

The host of the fragments is usually too powerful to be trapped like a dog in such a useless wooden cage.

I knelt down and looked at them through the cage: "I want to ask you something, have you seen this thing?"

Take out the latest fragment from his arms.

Hearing this, the black-haired girl suddenly buried her head in her knees timidly, while the white-haired girl's expression changed, and she hugged the black-haired girl tightly.

I understood instantly.The fragment was in the hand of the black-haired kid.

"Can you give it to me?"

With a smile in his eyes, he said softly, "As a reward, I can promise you one request."

"Of course, even if you don't want to, I can grab it directly."

"think about it?"

The two girls hugged each other, desperately absorbing the almost nonexistent warmth from each other's thin bodies.

Squeak.

The door was suddenly opened.

Da da.Da da.

The sound of multiple footsteps came from behind me, and the girls locked in the cage suddenly became nervous. I looked back and found an unexpected person.

"Xia Youjie?"

The author has something to say:

[Warning, we are about to separate]

Q: Why didn't Anna just say Haibara, but the troublesome guy?

A: Because I was covered up inexplicably before, and was transferred to an unfamiliar location, I was upset

Q: Why did Anna say that she was taken to another place, and Gojo Satoru didn't suspect that it was Haibara's ability, since he clearly knew Haibara's spell?

A: There are many teleportation techniques, not only Haibara, but the news he got from Nanami is that Huibara and the curse spirit died together.
