shh don't make a wish

>>>

May and June in Japan are still a bit springy, and the cool air makes people feel very comfortable.

The battle for Pengo Lie's ring came to an end, and Morimachi ushered in a brief peace.

——However, this point can only be applied to Peng Geli's group of little devils.

……

Chisui, who came home from shopping in the supermarket after school, felt that her house was filled with a different atmosphere than usual.

"...Mother-in-law? Senior brother? I bought croquettes, okay?"

As soon as she opened the door, Zhisui felt that the atmosphere in her house was completely different from the usual silence. With a sense of foreboding, Zhisui immediately wiped off her shoes, and ran to the inner hall in three steps - then, she I saw some conspicuous bloodstains on the tatami.

blood? !Her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately turned on the light in the living room.

It's better not to look at it, she was so scared to take a breath when she saw it - at this moment, her home is in a mess, except for many furniture and furnishings that have been turned to the ground, all the animals kept in the house are gone, only There were two cats and dogs lying down on the tatami, and the two cats lying on the ground... blood flowed from them, and that was enough blood to kill.

She hurriedly ran to the place where the two cats were, and stretched out her hand to caress the cats' bodies—they had become extremely cold, and they had no breathing or heartbeat, and they all had obvious scars on their bodies, as if they had been with something It's like a fight, but it's not the scars that can be caused by animals fighting. Instead, it's like humans using knives...

An inexplicable fear came to mind, Zhisui first passed the corpses of the two old cats, and then went to look at the Shiba Inu lying on the ground - it was also dead, and its injuries were more serious than the two old cats.The rest of the animals kept in her house were gone, and the parrot's feathers were scattered on the ground, probably because they ran away when they were in danger.

She stood up and looked around the living room. At this moment, her home seemed to have been visited by robbers. The contents of the cupboards were dug out, and some locked cabinets were also smashed... But nothing of value was brought. Walk.

It seemed that only her family members were taken away.

Grandma...her pets...

Why?Why did the other party suddenly come to her house to carry out such destruction?Is it against her?Or for whom?

Zhisui looked at the master and his wife lying on the tatami in dismay, sighed again, found a cardboard box as if resigned to fate, carefully laid the towels, put the already cold pet carcass in it, and covered the box with a cloth.

"Wow..." Just when Zhisui was thinking about where to put the master, mother, and senior brother temporarily, a weak and timid voice came from behind her, making Zhisui's heart tighten suddenly—— — and turned around again.

"Fourth senior brother!" Zhisui was surprised and delighted, it was the cry of her little fox.

She hurriedly searched the room for the source of the cry—finally, she saw Fourth Senior Brother's little tail behind the cabinet.She went over to pick it up and put it in her arms in three steps and two steps... The fourth senior brother obviously also looked shocked, his small body was trembling, and he burrowed into her arms more desperately than usual.

"So you're still here..." Zhisui looked at the watery and innocent eyes of the fourth senior brother: "That's great."

The fourth senior brother seemed to feel the sadness of the master, and raised his head to lick her cheek again.

"Fourth senior brother! You are also injured!"

Zhisui was startled, and found that the fourth senior brother's hind leg was bleeding, so she was going to look for something to bandage it, but when she lifted the fourth senior brother up to examine it carefully, she found another Something like a strip of paper was tied to the hind leg.

[Within three days, bring the book of ancient weapons to this place, otherwise we will kill the old woman. 】

...and at the end of the note was a handful of her mother-in-law's hair.

Zhisui only felt cold sweat seeping from the roots of her hair. Ever since she saw this piece of paper tied to the fourth senior brother's leg, she felt a kind of fear as if a timer had been buried around her. The malice was directed at her family—it was a crisis, and she had to deal with it now.

Otherwise, her only relative in this world will have a chance to die.

>>>

Zhisui went around the house a few times later—a lot of furniture in her house was destroyed, especially her favorite study room, the bookcases and books were scattered on the ground in a mess, it seems that the enemy had searched her house desperately I read the "Book of Ancient Weapons", but couldn't find it, so I left a note and left.

In order for her to offer the "Book of Ancient Weapons" obediently, they also took away her mother-in-law and killed all her pets, in order to let her know that she has no choice.

The key book of ancient weapons... Zhisui rubbed the center of her brows with a headache. It was probably the old book written in complicated characters that she took away when she accompanied her mother-in-law back to the old house in Italy during the summer vacation——

Recently, she has been carrying that book with her, just to read it occasionally during her lunch break. She didn't expect that her behavior would make this happen.

... If the book was in the hands of the mother-in-law at that time, then she would not have been taken away.

Ah, no... She can't guarantee that such a cold-blooded enemy will leave contentedly after getting the book, maybe it is possible to silence all her family members after getting what she wants.

It seems that that book is really like what my mother-in-law said, "Many people want to get it".Zhisui clenched his fists unconsciously, so nervous that his nails sank into his palms without realizing it.

"Jingle bell... Jingle bell..."

Just when Zhisui was overwhelmed with worry, the phone in the living room rang, Zhisui was so nervous that he went to answer the phone again.

……

"Have you received the order, I want to see that book within three days."

When the phone was connected, there was a deep and cold male voice on the other end of the phone, speaking fluent Japanese.

The sudden contact by the enemy made Zhisui feel a chill down her spine. She froze for a moment, and then forced herself to calm down: "...Wait! I have to ensure the safety of the hostages first, and I want to talk to my mother-in-law."

"...It's okay." The man on the other end of the phone thought for a moment, and then seemed to say something to his partner - there was a rustling sound on the other end of the phone, and soon, the phone was handed over to the mother-in-law .

"Zhisui..." Granny's voice on the other side of the phone sounded a little weak and tired, which made Zhisui's heart tighten: "Grandma! Are you okay? They didn't do anything to you, did they?"

"You can't even die...Leave it to them..." Granny's voice was a little hoarse, and she felt that she had exhausted all her strength to talk to her, which made Zhisui's nose sore: "Grandma, just wait, I will come to rescue you !"

"No...don't come..." There was a painful cough from the mother-in-law, and Zhisui covered her face helplessly, not knowing how to answer her mother-in-law. "If there is any emergency... just burn the book..." the mother-in-law continued.

……

"...You bastard!" "You're talking nonsense..." "If she doesn't come, you don't want to live!"

Just when Zhisui was about to say something, some voices of throwing things and men cursing came from the phone. Soon, she heard some noise from the microphone, and finally, the phone returned to the original man again. hand.

"The order remains the same! You dare to play tricks, the old lady will die!" The man's voice was so cold and severe that Zhisui trembled. She was afraid that he would do something to her mother-in-law, and she hurriedly said: "Don't do this! No matter what the mother-in-law says I will find the book for you no matter what! But you can’t hurt her, if anything goes wrong during the transaction, I will burn the book!”

"I haven't seen anyone in three days, so you just wait for me to send the old woman to you." In contrast to Zhisui's anxiety, the man didn't answer her question directly, but put down such a sentence very coldly Just hang up the phone: "Don't try to play tricks, we have hundreds of fighting masters waiting for your arrival."

…………

……

hang up the phone.

Zhisui let out a long sigh, and fell powerlessly to the ground.

Different from usual, today her home is quieter than before, the air is so quiet that she can almost hear her nervous heartbeat, the fourth senior brother next to her sensed the anxiety and sadness of her master, so he licked her comfortingly The back of his hand, and got into her arms again.

Zhisui glanced at the fourth senior brother gratefully, and fell into deep thought again.

...Although she said on the phone just now that she would find the book of ancient weapons and give it to the other party no matter what.

But... She knows that the book is very important to her mother-in-law.

Probably, it was something that my mother-in-law "wouldn't want to hand over even if she died".

Just from the process of picking up this book when I went to Italy with my mother-in-law last time-this book was hidden in an empty and gorgeous mansion, and the owner of the mansion even used multiple mechanisms to hide the book. Locked up and even cast a spell on the entire mansion.

And the owner of the mansion... is the family of the deceased mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law definitely doesn't want her to hand over her family's relics without authorization-although she still doesn't understand the value of this book so far, the mother-in-law must not be reconciled to the book being taken away, and Zhisui knows it very well.

The problem is... this rare old book is the only bargaining chip she has to save her mother-in-law.

……

Zhisui sat in the empty mansion with a heavy heart for a long time, then, as if remembering something, she picked up her mobile phone - called someone she didn't expect to need so soon Contact again.

……

"...Dino, please do one thing."

...

The author has something to say:

Don't be sad, everyone, the animals died to protect the old lady (.

From here, we will see Zhisui single out a hidden mission! ! ! ! ! !
