True Central High School - Aiyu Xingchen

The three of them slipped out of the building where they were hiding before, and checked the suspicious buildings one by one in order. They moved lightly for fear of being discovered, so the speed was extremely slow. "Let's separate, speed up, it's almost time set by the kidnappers, if we don't find her, maybe we will be found too. Makoto, you take Ai-chan to check here, I'll go to the next building. Text Get in touch." Kisuke Urahara quickly ran away after speaking.

Xiao Ai wanted to stop him, but Hirako covered her mouth, "Don't yell here, idiot." He took his hand away, "I know you don't want to stay with me, but Xisuke has his own considerations. Bi Compared to him, my physical skills are better, and I am more confident in protecting you, so he left you to me." He didn't look at her when he was talking, but kept observing the surroundings.

"I didn't mean that..." Xiao Ai found that her thoughts had been seen through.It's not that she hates Pingzi, it's just that she quarreled with him just now, so she will inevitably feel awkward when she is alone. "sorry……"

"Really? Well... I was wrong too. What happened just now is over." Xiao Ai always apologized so quickly, which made him feel embarrassed.

This was already the penultimate building they searched, leaving only the one in front that looked like an office building.Pingzi asked Xiao Ai to send a text message to Kisuke telling them to go there first, and to gather at the door of that building later.

The last chance made them very nervous.If Xingchen is still not here, then this thread will be broken, and we can only hope that she will return safely after the transaction.Thinking of Xingchen's life or death, Xiao Ai became anxious again.She subconsciously grabbed the sleeve of Mako Hirako beside her.He saw her emotions and said to her seriously: "It's okay." After going up to the third floor, the two searched for each room one after the other.

"Pingzi! Come and see." Xiao Ai greeted Mako Pingzi at the door of a room.

The room seemed to have been used as a lounge before, and the curtains were drawn, so it was pitch black.They didn't dare to turn on the light, and with the faint light of the mobile phone, they saw a piece of rope on the sofa in the house, but it had spread out and hovered on the ground.There was also a half-drinked mineral water bottle on the coffee table slanted.A thin blanket hangs from the sofa to the ground.Such a scene looks like the traces of someone who has just lived here.

"Hey, Hirako, does this mean..."

"Ah... If this is really the place where Xing Chen was imprisoned, judging from the scene and time, he should have been taken away. We are still a step late... Ai-chan, take a few photos here and send them Show it to your brother. Ask if there's any progress over there. I'll contact Kisuke."

They came down from upstairs, with Xiao Ai in front and Pingzi in the back.After he contacted Kisuke, he has been thinking about what to do next.Xiao Ai started to make a phone call and walked very fast, already more than ten steps ahead of him. "Well, I got it, brother. Look at the photos for any clues. Anyway, the person is no longer here. Can the police come? Maybe everything here is physical evidence." He walked behind and listened to her call, Thinking about when to chime in and tell her to go slow.Then there was a short squeal and a plop.His heart tightened, and he quickly jumped down the steps.

Kisuke Urahara rushed here after receiving the contact from Mako Hirako, and was walking upstairs when he heard Xiao Ai's voice on the phone.She seemed to be too focused on talking, and she didn't see that there was a missing piece of the steps under her feet. One second she was still talking on the phone, and the next second she lost her balance and rushed towards the nothingness in front of her.It happened that Xisuke was walking on this section of steps, he reacted at the speed of light, walked up the three steps with a vigorous step, and used his body to catch her who fell down.But inertia is still unwilling to give up the opportunity to create damage. Kisuke felt that the two of them might fall together, so he instinctively pulled Xiao Ai to the side to exert force, and changed the downward movement to the direction of the wall. The two turned around, Finally, it became static after being attached to the wall.Kisuke Urahara supported the wall with one hand, and protected Ai's head with the other.Xiao Ai hung her arm directly around Kisuke's neck.

Two seconds of silence.Xiao Ai felt that her heart was about to jump out, and her face was also getting hot. She thought that her face must be very red now.Then she saw the mobile phone that had accidentally dropped on the ground just now.Lightspeed withdrew her hand, she squatted down, got out from the gap under Kisuke's body, picked up the mobile phone on the ground, and found that the call was still going on. "Ah, brother, I'm sorry... Ah, it's okay, it's not that I met a bad person, but I accidentally tripped over the steps. Don't worry! Okay, let's go back now. Then hang up, bye~"

"Yeah, I thought something was wrong. You really are a stupid girl!" Hirako walked down the stairs, and luckily Kisuke was following her just now, otherwise she would have been injured.

Xiao Ai breathed a sigh of relief, "Do you want to take a look at the room we found just now, Kisuke?"

"No need, it's meaningless since you're not around, so leave it to the police." Kisuke turned his head and walked down with a calm expression.

Xiao Ai felt a little disappointed for some reason. "He didn't react at all to the ambiguous gesture just now. Sure enough, he only became nervous about the matter of Stardust... Ah... what am I thinking! They are all my friends, so I don't want to concentrate at this time , and idle thoughts! Ukitake Ai, cheer up!" She shook her head, just in time to meet Pingzi's eyes, he was looking at her with weird eyes, probably puzzled by her shaking his head.She grabbed the corner of his clothes, "Let's go quickly, don't take your time."

It's past eight o'clock now.I don't know how the deal with the kidnappers went. "My brother said that he will contact me when we have news. Let's..." They had already walked out of the abandoned factory area and were on the way to hide the car. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, they still walked carefully on the small road.Before Xiao Ai finished speaking, Kisuke suddenly made a hissing sound, signaling them to stop in the shadows.After a while, two men passed by, and what they said seemed to be gangsters from the neighborhood, angrily commenting that a woman they met by chance had beaten them and then ran away.Soon, the two passers-by walked away.The three of them had to continue on their way.However, as if something flashed through Xiao Ai's mind, she stood still and couldn't move.The thought couldn't leave her mind. "Hey, let's look again, Stardust may be nearby."

"Why do you say that?"

"I don't know, it's just my intuition. You heard what the two passers-by said just now. I think, what if the woman they are talking about is Stardust? Think about it, whether she was released or escaped by herself Yes, she is not familiar with the situation around here. When she meets two hooligans, she should attack them out of self-protection, right? And you have taken self-defense classes before, right? It matches the characteristics of Stardust. I don’t know why. I have this feeling, I just feel that if I don’t give it a try, I will regret it…”

"Okay, I trust your intuition. Let's go together!" Xiao Ai didn't expect Kisuke to agree so easily.

"There is a river near here, let's gather at this step later!" Xiao Ai led them to the direction where the hooligans came.Because it was a little safer here, they split up.

Xiao Ai trotted along the river bank, and the sky was completely dark.The autumn evening wind made her shiver all over, but she didn't care about the cold anymore.Her mouth felt parched and she kept licking her dry lips with her tongue.No matter how hard I try to control my expression, I can't get rid of bad thoughts.She doesn't like the feeling of losing anyone.

There is a bridge ahead, and there seems to be a dark figure under the bridge, who looks like a homeless man, Xiao Ai is hesitant to go over.But if you don't move forward, you can't continue looking for someone. Xiao Ai is ready to run quickly with anxiety.At the moment that Hei Ying missed, that person seemed to move vigilantly... An Ran walked under the bridge, and she slowed down.But there was a kind of hesitation in my heart, "Should I go back and see that person? He said he was a homeless man, but he seemed to have nothing with him from the corner of the eye just now, and now he doesn't cover anything at night in this weather." If you don't, you will be frozen to death. It seems to be a girl with long hair? But there are quite a few homeless people with long hair. Although it is very important to find Stardust, at least ask what you can do to help him!" She finally Or turn around and go under the bridge again.

"That..." The closer she got to that figure, the faster her heart beat.The moon escaped from behind the clouds, and the faint moonlight shone on the person under the bridge, so Xiao Ai could see clearly.She couldn't believe it.

The person who was sitting with his knees tucked up became alert when he felt Xiao Ai approaching, and stood up against the wall of the bridge hole. However, after hearing her voice, he suddenly raised his head, and met Xiao Ai in surprise and Excited look.Hearing her name called out from the mouth:

"Stardust!"
