She is also... real?

Qianli lowered her head in a daze, and looked at the hand that Qingjiang was still holding on to the smiling face.

The black cloth wrapped her slender fingers snugly, and her right hand, which was used to holding knives, had well-defined joints. When holding her hand, she restrained her strength as much as possible, and just gently put it on her hand.

In the state of the spirit body, she couldn't feel the coolness of the night. She felt the unreasonable cold entirely because of her grief. The temperature coming through the gloves was not much, but it was enough to turn it into a rather wonderful feeling.

She glanced over.

"Take off your gloves."

"what?"

Smiling Qing Jiang was taken aback, "No way, if you contact the master directly——"

"Hurry up." Qianli didn't look at him, but stared at a point of nothingness in the sky, "It won't dissipate directly or something, just this one won't do any harm - it's not that you said you want to help me prove that it is real Is it?"

There always seems to be something missing through the glove.

"……Yes Yes."

After a long silence, Wakizawa compromised helplessly.

"Does the master really want to get in touch with me that much?" He sighed, and after being stared at by Qianli, he turned his eyes, "It seems that I have to prepare for how to face Mr. Hasebe."

The fingertips that were held again after taking off the gloves were even more distinctly warm than before, and the owner of the hand himself was a little stiff.He hid the stiffness very well, at least the inquisitor didn't notice half of it.

"Hasebe?"

As if to divert attention from the somewhat unnatural atmosphere, Chisato Horiguchi subconsciously asked, "What did he say?"

"No," Yaozhan Dao himself couldn't feel any impact, and Qingjiang smiled carefully to see if she frowned because of the pain from contact, "It's nothing."

That feeling came again, Qianli thought.

The skin-to-skin contact brought not only the familiar, pinprick-like pain, but also the thundering heartbeat in the chest.

To her, the organs that are even a little strange to her are showing their sense of existence extremely actively after a long period of silence, heart palpitations and sweet sourness spreading from the palms that fit together, she somehow feels this feeling is very familiar, but Can't remember its name for a while.

A second before her heart was about to burst through her chest, she withdrew her hand abruptly.

"really……"

The smiling Qing Jiang obviously misunderstood something.

"Are you okay?"

Nothing to do with that.

She pursed her lips, stood up from the steps, tried her best not to uncontrollably look in his direction, and walked directly to the edge of the street.

Footsteps followed quickly, "Is the master going home?"

Hearing this, Horiguchi Chisato still stopped and turned his head.

"Which house are you talking about?" she asked.

"……Eh?"

"Both sides are homes, which side are you asking?" Facing the warm light of the street lamp on the top, Qianli looked at the five fingers that he could actually grasp the smiling face of Qingjiang, but could only pass through the bodies of his contemporaries, " Now I can't do anything for my parents, but there are people who need me."

Until then, she didn't know what the headless was referring to.

Although she didn't like the other party's cryptic style of hiding half and talking half, but she also had to admit that on the issue of enchantment, his guess should be right.

"you're right."

Under the street lamp, when the girl looked back, the smile on her face was completely different from any smile she had ever seen so far, which made Qingjiang a little fascinated by the smiling face.

"They're still waiting for us to go back," Horiguchi Chisato said softly, "at least believe so."

"If you go to the guy who sent me here..."

She looked into the distance, "He should be able to contact the government of the time."

It was already completely dark, so on the way home from the hospital to the nearby shrine, taking the last tram is of course the best choice.However, this morning's "personal accident" was destined to cause an extra person at the terminal station that she didn't want to meet—she didn't know how to face the past self that appeared full of resentment, after much deliberation, they still walked together back here.

"However, there is one thing that I am very concerned about." On the way, thousands of miles counted the time, "It has been almost two days since we arrived here."

She even almost changed history, even so——

"Does the master want to say that the inspection is a violation of the mission?"

The smiling face Qingjiang is clear.

"Indeed, it is far beyond the time frame where they may appear. Maybe it is because of the small number of people? Or are we not an entity now?"

"...It shouldn't be a matter of the number of people."

Chisato Horiguchi thought about it.

"In the previous period, he played alone, but if he was delayed for too long, he would have been prosecuted. Otherwise, he should have been able to return safely."

So it's because both of them are in a state where they can't touch living people basically, and the inspector thinks there is no threat so they don't bother...

But she obviously almost gave up.

This time, it was Smiling Qingjiang who stopped her from killing, and last time——

Chisato raised her head and looked at the shrine in front of her.

"I can't get in, so I ask you to find it." She pointed to the Shimenawa rope above the torii gate and near the stone. The straw rope tied with a white imperial coin is the limit that prohibits existence like her from entering, "That person It’s the patron saint here, you’ll recognize it when you see it.”

"I'll just wait here," Chisato Horiguchi shook his head under the hesitant eyes of the other party, "It'll be fine."

It wasn't until the figure of smiling Qingjiang disappeared above the stone steps that she relaxed a little from her tense emotions for no reason.

Even she didn't know what she was nervous about.

This is even more obvious than when she was in Honmaru. At that time, she just didn't know how to get along with the other party. Now when she thinks of smiling Qing Jiang walking beside her, she always inadvertently pays attention to his every move.

Qianli imitated what he did at that time, put his hands on his eyes, and suddenly realized something belatedly.

What she blurted out at that time... was "Horiguchi Chisato is dead", right?

Since she decided to take office, everyone has been warning her not to reveal her real name in front of Fu Sangshen.The interrogator who is closely linked with Fu Sangshen in a master-slave relationship, once her real name is known, even she is at risk of being hidden by the gods.

There were footsteps approaching on the long stone steps, and a pair of black boots came into view.

Qianli was thinking about how to speak, but when he saw Qingjiang with a smiling face, he couldn't help being dumbfounded for a while.

"The person the master is looking for doesn't seem to be here."

He raised his eyebrows, "I've searched everywhere."

"Where does he go if he doesn't stay in the shrine...?"

Chisato Horiguchi frowned and thought about it, then remembered that she met him, and it was indeed he who took the initiative to go to the station.

...it's really not surprising when you think about it carefully.

"Master, is he going somewhere else now?" Smiling Qingjiang asked thoughtfully, "I don't know when he will come back."

"Turn around."

She and Shenming have only met that side, and she doesn't know what kind of style the other party is, but thinking about it, maybe she is really wandering around, Chisato Horiguchi pondered for a moment, and said so.

"Maybe it happened unexpectedly."

The two street lights are not far apart, but there will always be shadows at the junction.In the flickering light and shadow, Horiguchi Chisato narrowed his eyes as he passed another linden tree.

"Qingjiang," she finally asked out the doubts in her heart, "do you know my name?"

Even if it wasn't for the sentence she yelled out of control, he would most likely have learned the name of the interrogator in the hospital - she was too absorbed in the past at that time, so she didn't notice this.

Fu Sangshen stopped quietly.

"Did the master finally notice?" He laughed, "Maybe one day I can't help but hide the master."

"just kidding."

When meeting Shang Qianli's eyes, Qing Jiang's brows and eyes frowned on a smiling face, "I won't do what the master doesn't want me to do."

"Speaking of which, I'm the only one in this pill who knows the name of the master. It doesn't feel bad. However, it's a pity that I can't be called." He moved his lips silently, and he could see that he was whispering to the three masters. Yin, "...it's a nice name."

The tip of the ear suddenly became hot.

"Smiling Qingjiang!"

"Yeah," he replied with a smile in front of the judge's anger, "I'm here."

Chisato Horiguchi: "..."

This guy--

She turned around and walked forward, but what she saw out of the corner of her eye made her subconsciously stop for a second.

Is that... spider silk?

In the blink of an eye, her body sensed the danger one step ahead of her brain, which hadn't had time to realize what happened.Taking a step away to the left, looking at the fangs brushing past her face, Chisato Horiguchi was shocked to find that it was a spider much larger than an adult, hiding in the shadow of the dense leaves of the linden tree, waiting for an opportunity to attack its prey.

——and more than that.

The blurry human faces attached to it are really a scalp-numbing picture.

"Owner!"

Smiling Qing Jiang subconsciously pulled her behind him, paused for a thousand miles, and did not push his arm away.

"It was targeting me."

She could feel that it was of the same essence as hers—no, it was even far above her evil thoughts.

It was formed by the gathering of countless souls, and now, it also wants to devour her.

"If I'm not mistaken, this looks like a soil spider," she said calmly. "If Kagemaru is here, he should have experience in how to deal with it."

"Believe in my strength, too."

Smiling Qing Jiang sighed, the ribs pulled out from his waist reflected a cold light.

"Anyway," his eyes froze, "I've also killed ghosts—"

Knife up and down.

The earth spider rushing towards the two of them hastily backed away with a "hiss", its eight eyes were still greedily staring at Chisato Horiguchi behind Qingjiang.One of its legs rolled aside was as thick as an adult's wrist, and the human face attached to it was still howling in pain.

Qianli carried spiritual power in his hands.

It's too early to devour her——

"So far."

A voice not far away made her eyes freeze.

"So that's the case, no wonder I can't find it," just waved his hand, and the earth spider, which was still waiting for an opportunity to attack, fell to the ground stiffly, unable to move any more, "It actually ran here."

Still wearing the familiar white clothes.

Long hair dragged behind his waist, and a god with a neutral face appeared at the other end of the crossroads. When he was about to move forward, he stopped abruptly, and then moved forward two seconds later.Following his line of sight, Qianli saw the traffic lights that had just turned green.

Chisato Horiguchi: "..."

Why are you waiting for traffic lights on a road with no cars in the middle of the night? !

"Even if no one is watching, it doesn't mean you can violate the rules."

As if he could see what was in her heart, Kami said in a moderate voice when he walked up to them, "Isn't Miss Horiguchi always doing this?"

It sounds like there is something in the words.

"I can not understand what you say."

When she wanted to kill that man, he should not have been there.Moreover, she thought he didn't know her three years ago, "You know me?"

"You visited the shrine during the summer vacation before entering the second grade of junior high school." The tone of understatement seemed to be talking about a trivial matter that happened yesterday, "Of course, I know more than that."

Maybe he knows a lot.

Qianli's eyelids twitched, thinking of this for no reason.

"Then you must know what this is."

Horiguchi Chisato realized that she probably shouldn't dwell on this issue any longer, she looked at the soil spider with only legs still shaking, and turned her gaze away in disgust when she saw the faces.Smiling Qing Jiang asked the remaining question instead of her: "Why does this kind of thing appear here?"

They can all see that this is a collection of some very strong resentment.

This is not an era of war, and there are no aborigines hiding in the mountains because of discord with the Yamato court. How could there be so many people's resentment so strong.

She's kind of an accidental exception, these people—

"This city is not as peaceful as it looks."

Kami's tone was always gentle, but Chisato Horiguchi could hear a subtle smile that was not a smile, "These are the victims of a certain organization's experiment."

"What did you say?" Qianli frowned.

"In a short time, it should be turbulent," he said thoughtfully, "it's some kind of earth-shaking change."

"impossible!"

She vetoed it.

"I have been here for three years, but I have never heard of such a level of news!"

"Some things don't have to happen on the bright side," the god watched her quietly. "If you're only trapped at the station, the source of the news will be much narrower. What's more, is there really no sign?"

Horiguchi was taken aback.

She remembered.

In the same year that she died, there was a sudden increase in the number of sudden deaths from passers-by.Horrifying corpses appeared on the street inexplicably, coming in a hurry and leaving strangely. I don't know when the victim hasn't appeared since then.She was worried for a while, and was not relieved until she saw her parents appeared safely.

However, she thought, these things obviously happened in the future, since he can predict this development to a certain extent, can she confirm——

"Are my parents okay?" she asked.

The god shook his head, "This matter has nothing to do with them."

"What about Futaba?" she asked, "And Teacher Jiugami?"

For some reason, the god's smile seemed a little strange.

"They'll be fine."

meeting?

Qianli frowned, thinking, doesn't this mean that he will be involved?

"In that case, why don't you—"

"Hush." ​​The god said softly, "It's not that I don't want to take care of it, but I can't do it."

"My position is more like a bystander, and what I can do is very limited. I can't intervene in these destined trajectories of your death and the death of these people." With a sudden shake, his whole body turned into countless light spots, "Like now, I can only do this."

"Contact the government of time?"

Without the need for the two of them to speak, the god who stood up again spontaneously said: "It's not difficult, just wait."

"and many more!"

The moment he blurted out, Chisato Horiguchi suddenly understood the reason why they didn't call for a police officer.

The god stopped and looked back at her sideways.

"Today, three years later, please go to Gizo Station to stop me," she took a deep breath, "No matter what your reason is, whether you use me or anything else, please make me No. 021 Honmaru's God Judge!"

Their appearance will not become an unstable factor that changes history, but itself has become an established fact of this period of history.

"In fact, I can't completely predict the future, and I can't know many details, so I have been wondering what made me finally make this decision..."

The long-haired god in white tilted his head.

"Well, I will."

"It seems that the two requests I will make at that time," he glanced over Chisato Horiguchi and the smiling Qing Jiang behind her, and smiled slightly, "It should be soon?"

"Master," she turned around when she heard Qingjiang's voice from a smiling face, "The two requests he said—"

...Oh no, I thought he wouldn't ask.

"secret."

Horiguchi Chisato turned her head nonchalantly, she always thought it would be strange to tell him this.

"Don't ask."

Smiling Qingjiang let out a "huh".

Passing through the familiar mountain road, the gate is in front of you.

When Qianli raised his hand, he felt a sense of tension that was similar to that of being close to home.

According to the government, after they got the news and sent reinforcements, the fighting has come to an end.At that time, her focus was all on "no sword was broken" afterwards, and she didn't care about supplements such as the reinforcements' legs being weak from fright.

"It's okay," Fu Sangshen who was behind encouraged after noticing her hesitation, "Everyone is waiting for the master."

Instead of asking the government to issue a similar notice to Honmaru, she made a surprise attack herself.

Chisato Horiguchi took a deep breath.

The sound of the gate caused the two fusangshen who were cleaning the courtyard to turn their heads.

Cattail: "...Master?"

He asked in a daze, and it took a few seconds before he stared at the door to react.

"Oh!" Qianli looked at him dumbfounded and shouted as he ran inside, "Master is back—"

"Brother Cattail is just too happy."

She looked at Yaoken who indifferently leaned the broom to the side before walking forward, there was a laugh in his voice, and there was also an imperceptible tremor of excitement.

"Welcome back," he smiled, "General."
