Chapter 61 Midsummer Part 4
Today's cities are also so noisy and ordinary.
When Kei came to Yokohama with his backpack on his back, Osamu Dazai, who promised to pick him up, had disappeared.
The black-haired teenager came to this place for the first time, and he did a lot of preparations, such as buying a map of Yokohama in advance.But he looked at the map for a long time, and finally he could only stand at the gate of the station resignedly, accepting a reality.
he's lost.
To be precise, he didn't even know where his destination was.Today was supposed to be his rare day off, but Xia Youjie somehow threw him a task.
When he saw the content of the task, Hui, who was originally reluctant to help, lit up his eyes, but he still couldn't believe it: "Why didn't you complete this task by yourself?"
The task list reads, to investigate whether Mingguangyuanjing's body still has the words of Fu Jiang's cells remaining.
There is no need for a special mission to confirm this kind of thing. He can confirm 100% that the current Mingguang Yuanjing is a genuine human being, and there is no trace of inhuman genes in his body.
So this task is nothing more than Xia Youjie's use of power for personal gain. These conjurers are usually not allowed to enter Yokohama at will, unless they are entrusted to complete the task.
Seeing Hui's shocked face, Xia Youjie said slowly, "It's not convenient for me to see the teacher at the moment..."
He cried like that when he met the teacher last time. He didn't have the courage to meet the teacher until he rebuilt his mind.He couldn't see the teacher, let alone Gojo Satoru, those two sisters were very rebellious since they were young, Xia Youjie felt that with their appearance, he shouldn't even want to have this precious opportunity.
So the executor of this mission became Hui inexplicably.
Hui asked for the opinion of his own jerk father, and tried to ask Shier for help, but when Shier heard that he was going to Yokohama, Zenyuan directly rejected him.He originally thought that Shi'er would never refuse when it came to his father, but in the end Shi'er just said "it's not the time yet".
Hui could only take his own task list, packed his backpack, and embarked on the journey to Yokohama alone.
In the year of his birth, a great event happened in the magic world.Since that incident, the haunting of the curse spirit has become more like an urban legend - in addition to the curse spirit, there will be monsters and other things haunting it.
Not all magicians have the talent to eliminate demons, just like not all magicians can use spells.And Hui happened to have both talents. On the day he was promoted to the first-level conjurer, Hui was silent for a long time, and finally asked Shier that question.
It was rare for him not to call him by his first name, nor did he call him a bastard dad, but he said to Shi Er seriously and respectfully: "Dad, how did I come into this world?"
He has wondered about this question for a long time.
He vaguely knew something about his other father.Shi'er doesn't mention him often, Hui has seen Shi'er drinking, and Shi'er smoking a cigarette.The sky and the cursed body made him even stingy with giving this moment of time to paralyze himself. Tobacco and alcohol could not soothe his soul, so Shir finally gave up.
When Hui asked this question, Shi Er looked at his certificate as a first-class conjurer, and asked very normally: "Who asked you to ask?"
Hui was silent for a moment, then he shook his head; "No one, I want to ask myself."
So Shire gave him the answer simply: "It was brought by the stork."
... Shier gave him such a perfunctory answer.
In Danish legend, storks are closely related to children.The legend that the stork will bring children to the couple was written into "Andersen's Fairy Tales" and turned into children's pillow stories.
Hui felt that he was certainly not stupid enough to believe such nonsense.But Shier gave such an answer, and he didn't continue to ask.Parents always seem to have such a taboo. They are ashamed to share the details of the birth of their children, and some are simply out of superstition. They feel that describing the birth process of a child in too much detail will cause the child to die.
No matter what the reason is, in short, this kind of lying is definitely not the truth.
Hui thought so.
It's hard to imagine Shire feeling like this, no matter what the reason is, but it's not Shire's style to use the lie of "you were brought by a stork" to perfunctory him.
Hui shook his head, shaking off the messy thoughts in his head.
Holding this map of Yokohama, he thought blankly, first confirm the content of the mission-confirm whether Fu Jiang has recovered.
Not long ago, as Shi Er gave up the resurrection ceremony, the people who were bewitched by Fu Jiang returned to normal one by one.Although there are still some sequelae, most of them are minor problems that can be solved by modern medicine, and can be cured after injection and medicine.
That Fu Jiang... used to be the body used by his father when he was briefly resurrected.
His father is now practicing in this city.
Osamu Dazai, who couldn't wait to pick him up, was already lost anyway, and his phone was still fully charged, so Kei just started wandering aimlessly in the city.
Yokohama is a pretty good tourist spot these days, if you ignore the weirdness that often happens in Yokohama.Although the city is closed and has some unavoidable dangerous elements, it is these that constitute the charm of this city.
It's like the kind of story center that only exists in novels.
Where is his father now?
Even he doesn't know.Regarding this point, Shi Er didn't mention it too much to the three of them, but Gojo Satoru said a lot of nonsense.For example, their father was bullied in Yokohama. Not only did he have to do a lot of things every day, but he was also given a "contract". To a certain extent, every day is very hard.
In this regard, Hui said that he would never believe this white-haired six-eyed nonsense.If his father really lived in such a difficult environment, Shi Er would have rushed to Yokohama with the Tenni Hoko long ago, how could he stay in the old house so peacefully and drink tea every day.
But no matter how unreliable Gojo Satoru's words are, it's not impossible to believe them at all.
Hui thought of his father, whom he had only met once. He had no guard against others. Even when he was bullied like that by Zhenyi, he didn't dare to resist at all. He only knew that he was wronged and waited for Shier to rescue him.This kind of weak and inexperienced person, in this city like a big dye vat, will probably suffer a lot of grievances even if he can live well in front of him.
Hui thought worriedly.
When he thought of this, he lost his mood of just wandering aimlessly in Yokohama.While scolding the bastard Shier for being too unreliable for doing the facts, he took the map and set off towards the location marked on the map.The route was marked on the map in advance, and Kei followed the map.
The more he walked, the more he felt something was wrong.
This doesn't seem to be the route that normal people would choose. It is obvious that you can walk to your destination on a flat concrete road with a few detours, but the route marked on the map has to be "walk carefully on the roof of a certain house, and then walk to the destination." Getting out of the garden fence" seems like a route that doesn't make sense at first glance.
But there is no way, Hui is not familiar with Yokohama, so he can only follow suit.
But he suddenly discovered that the roof of that family was covered with non-slip bricks, and a small gate had already been opened in the fence of the garden.Because people often walk in the nearby grass, there is already a path, and unknown small flowers are blooming beside the fence, and some colorful shells are placed beside the flowers.
When Hui was hesitating whether to get in, someone came out following the sound.
"Is it so early today?"
Only when the other party came out did he realize that it was not the person he guessed.When Hui saw his appearance, he was a little embarrassed. He didn't know where to put his hands and feet. It was the first time he was caught doing such a bad thing. This kind of knowledge made him even more nervous.
But the other party seemed to be more nervous than Hui, she wanted to turn around and flee back to the house the first second she saw Hui.But in the end, she forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in her heart.
The girl glanced at the map in Hui's hand, and she asked timidly, "Are you the... conjurer who came here to travel? It's the first time we meet, I am Izumi Jinghua."
Hui looked suspiciously at the map in his hand, he hesitated for a moment, then turned it over.I saw that the back of the map that should have been blank was already covered with various graffiti. Jie wrote densely packed notes on feeding his teacher in the upper left corner, and Wu wrote a bunch of numbers with unclear meanings. If the coordinates are connected in order, it just looks like a star.Zhenyi wrote a bunch of bad girls' quotations, and Maki crossed them all out for her.
Hui crumpled the map into a ball with a blank expression, and threw it into a corner.
He said why the route looked so strange. It turned out that the map had been tampered with by this group of unreliable people.
Seeing his actions, Quan Jinghua almost understood that the other party was the person she was waiting for.She relaxed a little. Seeing Hui's frustrated expression, the girl thought for a while and said, "This is the route that Jing usually takes."
Hearing his father's name, Hui raised his head: "You mean...does he usually go on the roof, and then slip through the garden fence like this?"
Talking about familiar people, the girl's expression relaxed a little: "Because he thinks this way is a shortcut."
Hui thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed something that the person in his memory would do.But when he saw the girl in front of him, he suddenly felt that maybe another reason was that he was worried about this girl.
Hui thought about it, and he said seriously: "Can you tell me a little about him?"
Thinking of the people in her memory, Quan Jinghua was no longer nervous and embarrassed. She said with a smile: "In this case, please listen while enjoying tea."
The author has something to say: there should be an update in the evening
