Touched by a ghost, I choose death

The scene in front of me was very lively.

Some are holding a lantern, the warm light is charming to the eyes; some are holding a transparent plastic bag, the goldfish inside is still alive and kicking; some are clapping their hands and laughing at their friends beside them...

It seems to be a scene that will appear in every summer festival.

However, when the subject of all these actions is non-human, this warm scene seems a little weird.

Atobe followed the flow of "ghosts" and moved his steps. Although he was still striding forward, he was extra careful, for fear of touching anything. This was really not his usual style.

In this hustle and bustle, only the people around him are of the same kind as him, this feeling is subtle.

So he squeezed the girl's hand even tighter.

This is probably the first time in his life that he walked hand in hand with the opposite sex in public. Although the actual situation is far from usual, it is not willing but forced.It sounded too unglamorous, but unexpectedly he didn't feel any repulsion, which was rather novel.

Maybe it's because the person holding hands is Asahi Nanaya, a person he doesn't dislike, on the contrary, he still has some interest, although the so-called "like" kind of youthful breath that rushes to his face is not related to it.

"Maybe I want to prove that existence is reasonable," she chuckled, "It's just a boring idea, and it makes you laugh."

When you wake up one day, you find that there are inexplicable things in front of you. You cry out on an empty plain, telling your pain heartbreakingly, but everyone around you looks at you with eyes like seeing a monster. To you, and finally passed by without looking back.

Is the world collapsing, or are you collapsing?

Hearing this, Atobe couldn't help but look sideways at the girl beside him.

She raised her head slightly at the moment. Although she couldn't see the expression on her face with the mask on, Atobe guessed that she should be looking into the distance. It was a small movement she would do when thinking about things.

Although she is not facial paralyzed, or an iceberg whose expression has not changed for thousands of years, after getting along for a long time, it can be seen that she really rarely smiles, which makes Atobe curious about what kind of smile is behind that mask.

The understanding in the eyes of others, without personal experience, still cannot fully understand the mood of the other party.

It's like a pot of soup that has been boiled in colorful colors and can be classified as dark cuisine. You can imagine its taste must be very strange after seeing it, but you still can't feel its true taste without tasting it.

But under empathy, if he wakes up one day and suddenly sees strange things, what will he do?

He will definitely not bury himself in the crowd like Qiye did.Even with a pair of eyes that can see the other world, he can still stand proudly in the center of the crowd, raise his head high, and enjoy the thrill of being watched.

The so-called nature dictates that it is absolutely impossible to break your pride abruptly because of one thing.

And there is his unreasonable——

Would you really risk your life to help a stranger for such an empty reason as "the value of life"?

Although it is true that there are self-sacrificing people in the world, he has also met pure and kind people. For example, the wish of Hocho Taro, a former elementary school student, is world peace, and he often would rather suffer himself than help others, so that everyone I can't laugh or cry.

But his sixth sense told him that Qiye was not such a person.

However, what kind of person is she?

Atobe, who has always been able to see people thoroughly, felt at a loss about this.

It can't be called gorgeous, but it understands more things than expected.

When you thought she kept saying some inexplicable words, you inadvertently found that she knows a lot of things that you are also interested in, such as piano.

It's not impossible to see through, but it's never possible to guess what she will do next.

You thought she was the kind of calm and calm woman, but in the next second she said that she was interested in the small game of pitching on the street.

Suddenly, the crowd became commotion, and the surrounding air was boiling and rolling like boiling water, with layers of heat waves hitting our faces.

"It's almost time!!"

"I've prepared it a long time ago, today's clothes must be mine!"

"I stole it from me, ghosts block and kill ghosts!"

The ghosts yelled loudly, all gearing up, counting towards the biggest one in the center of the festival venue.

Nanaya and Atobe looked at each other, and started running desperately in that direction.

In the past, Renzu and other friends complained to him about the difficulty of grabbing limited-edition goods, but he always dismissed them. Today, he finally experienced this sense of crowding and desperateness.

Then he fully understood one thing: grabbing the limit is definitely risking his life!

Because there were too many "ghosts", they could only cling to the backs of unknown objects in front of them. They couldn't help walking with their own legs, but were driven by the crowd behind them, like waves pushing forward waves, wriggling involuntarily. .

The hot air from behind sprayed on the neck, and the sweat came out one after another, and the clothes stuck to the body, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Looking at the darkness in front of him, Atobe suppressed the embarrassment and unhappiness in his heart, and calmly began to think about countermeasures.

He has a characteristic since he was a child. The more disadvantaged the situation is, the more quickly he can calm down, analyze the direction of the situation, and then take the optimal route to lead to the other side of success step by step.

Seeing a monster nearly twice as tall as him in front of him, it would be impossible to fight recklessly.It seems only outsmart.

And Qiye beside him was also thinking about the best answer in distress.

In terms of height conditions, both of them are not qualified.Unless they are superimposed together, there is a slight advantage.

However, imagine that she was riding on the shoulders of Ajibu, rushing through layers of "ghosts" and snatching clothes...

The picture is too tragic to bear to look directly at.

By strength?Glancing at the trace department and his own small body among this bunch of strange species, Qiye could only laugh awkwardly.

Suddenly she felt a strange object pressing against her leg, looked down, and found that it was the shooting trophy that she had been holding in her hand since just now—a shrunken version of a tennis racket.

She suddenly realized something, pulled her out of the narrow space below with difficulty, and handed her to Atobe: "Atobe-kun, I wonder if this will come in handy!?"

Atobe glanced at the miniature racket in her hand, pondered for a moment, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"You go to that tree over there to pick up your clothes." He raised his finger and pointed to the tree on the other side, "Leave the rest to my uncle."

Nanaya stood on tiptoe, and barely saw what Atobe was pointing at in the dark gap ahead.She nodded, and then used her small body to squeeze through the gap with difficulty.

After a long time, she finally managed to reach the designated tree against the current, and she breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like seeing the sun again.

She couldn't help but think of Atobu's decisive words just now. Although she couldn't see the expression, she could feel a confident look.So what exactly is he going to do?

After thinking for a long time without success, the next thing to do is to stay quietly under the tree and wait.

She looked up at the dress hanging high on the tree. There were already many "ghosts" climbing up under the tree, the whole tree began to shake slightly, and the dress was crumbling.

She secretly squeezed a sweat.

Suddenly a black shadow jumped out from the crowd not far away, drew a beautiful arc, and approached the crown of the tree.Immediately afterwards, the much-anticipated piece of clothing soared into the air, lifting it up like a sudden updraft, and when it reached the top inexplicably, it began to fall lightly again.

Then another arc cut through the sky, and it hit the middle of the falling clothes accurately, like a gust of fairy wind, sending the clothes quickly towards her.

Qiye stared intently at the dress floating in the air, and suddenly understood what Atobe was doing.

Using the ball to send the clothes to the designated place in two stages, the technology is really wonderful.

So how could she live up to his cool stunts?

Qiye has played ball games before. Based on her good dynamic vision, she can calculate the landing point and trajectory, and finally use it to act.

According to the movement trajectory of the clothes, judge its landing point, and then accurately arrive at the landing point.

However, what she can see may not be invisible to others.Seeing the countless unknown objects running towards the dress, her back felt a little chilly.

Just when she was at a loss, the clothes fluttering in the air suddenly started to accelerate again.

She ran like hell, then jumped, and finally grabbed the corner of the dress.

Holding the dress tightly in her arms, a huge rock in her heart finally slowly fell.

Seeing Atobe running towards her, she could not help but narrow her eyes and waved at him.

It was great to finally get the winning product through the efforts of two people.

Atobe looked at Nanaya who successfully got the clothes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Unexpectedly, the tennis ball he had casually stuffed in his backpack when he went to practice at the club last week came in handy.The ball-handling accuracy that I usually train is perfectly displayed, and the most important thing is that Qiye successfully caught it.One step earlier and one step later cannot achieve the fruit of victory.

She lived up to her trust.

Atobe has always felt that many things in this world are something he can do freely, but he is also a little confused about today's scene.Now that he managed to get the clothes they wanted, he felt that this was more exciting than winning a game.

Everything can be handled with ease, and after getting used to it, there will be a sense of boredom, although for ordinary people, such a feeling is undoubtedly enviable, and it can even be said to be beaten.And once things develop in a direction that is out of his control, although he will be a little upset at first, the novelty in his heart is even greater.

Atobe prefers challenges to rules.The complex state of mind and tension in that process is something that you can't usually feel.

"Quickly evacuate." Qiye breathed a sigh of relief, not being dazzled by the joy of victory.

Just like a sword of Damocles hanging above the head, if you stay longer, there are countless dangers hidden behind it.

Then wait for the Wraith to show up.

A tennis match between man and ghost is about to kick off.
