It has been a long time since the days of cooperating with the mafia to seize the heart. Everyone's powers have returned to normal, and the heart has been temporarily given to Dazai for safekeeping.
The days seem to be normal again,
Until that red-haired girl appeared.
That day, I happened to be chatting with Lucy while drinking oatmeal hot milk in the cafe downstairs.
As we chatted, she smiled and threatened to make me play hide-and-seek with little Annie.
I was shocked. Although I didn't know where I had offended her, I still waved my hand and apologized hastily.
At this time, a girl with waist-length red hair appeared and looked about the same age as me.
She was seen wearing a black and white classical knee-length skirt, with black gauze around her shoulders, and a very coquettish red rose on her chest. She wore jet black lace gloves on her hands and held a small cinnabar handbag lightly in her hands.
Her expression was confused, her red lips were half-opened, and the colors flowing in her eyes were very moving, but for some reason there was a hint of blame and pity.
For some reason, I always feel that she should not be wearing all black, but should be paired with melancholic blue.
Seeing this, I jumped up in fright. Because of her hair color, I just thought she was red-haired Annie.
But in fact, if you look closely, you will find that her hair color is actually more red than Anne's.
But then I felt extremely sorry for my rudeness just now, and quickly went around Lucy to apologize to the girl.
"Watanabe Siye?" She stared into my eyes blankly.
This made me realize that her eyes were pure gold, like jade shining with golden light.
"Ah, I am," I was stunned for a moment, and then quickly responded, "Miss, do you have any entrustment?"
"Yes." Her expression was still cold.
"Then please move upstairs." I stretched out my hand to guide the girl.
"Right here," she sighed and stretched out her hand, "Where is my gem?"
"Gem?" My heart beat a few times inexplicably.
"Red with thick twisted lines in it."
"Sorry, I don't have this thing here." I smiled apologetically.
"It's right here, I can feel it," her eyebrows were raised, and a melancholy murderous aura erupted from her body, "Give it back to me!"
she yelled.
"Forgive me, I can't." I was so exhausted that I couldn't breathe, but I still took out my pocket watch very quickly and wrapped it around my forearm.
"Then, I'm sorry..." She sighed softly.
Her murderous intent was abruptly withdrawn. I saw her slowly opening the bag, and a strange rustling sound came from inside.
In an instant, murderous intent erupted again, but this time the source was from the crimson bag.
A wrist-thick rattan sprang out like a snake, and before I could react, it burrowed into my left bone.
"What are you doing?!" Lucy wanted to do something, but was knocked away by the flying vines.
My blood couldn't stop bursting out.
"How come," the girl's eyes gradually widened and her lips trembled, "how come you don't have a superpower crystal!?"
"Wha, what..." I was lying on the ground. Due to excessive blood loss, my vision kept turning black, my ears seemed to be covered with a veil, and my voice was hazy.
"Are you really like what the boss said...Forget it, I'll come back to pick up my things next time," a smile appeared on her face, "Sir, Watanabe. My name is Miyuki Miyabe... Well, I'm sorry, you look badly injured, I made a mistake..."
(Miyabe Miyuki (also translated as Miyabe Miyuki, Japanese: Miyabe Miyuki, December 23, 1960 -) was born in Fukagawa, Tokyo (now Monzenakacho, Koto District), a Japanese writer, known as the "Heisei National Writer". Miyabe The book has a wide range of writing and has won numerous awards. It can be roughly classified into three major systems: mystery novels, period novels and fantasy novels. He was born on the same day as Yukito Ayatsuji, who is also a mystery writer. His representative works: Whisper of Magic and Solomon's Perjury. )
"Hmm, are you mud..." A string of blood foam and unclear syllables spurted out from my mouth.
But Miyuki had already turned around and walked away. Lucy rushed towards her, shouting something, but I couldn't hear it at all.
…
I opened my eyes, and there was no longer a dull pain in my chest. Instead, even the seams between my fingers were glowing.
No need to think about it, it must be Dr. Yosano's special power - please don't die.
"Awake? Si Ye. Three of his bones are missing, and a big hole was dug out... Don't you just go downstairs and drink a cup of hot milk?" Yosano said, holding the blood-stained machete.
At the same time, Atsushi and Dazai were standing beside her.
I got out of bed, glanced at them hastily, and said:
"A girl about my age just came here and asked for gems from me," I swallowed. "I didn't give them, so she attacked me with a cane... By the way, how is Lucy?"
"She's fine, just a minor injury. She won't let me treat her even if she says anything." Yosano crossed his arms impatiently, "Did you just say rattan? Could it be that that girl is a carrier pigeon?"
"Even if not, it probably has a lot to do with this incident. Also, she told me before she left that her name was Miyabe Miyuki."
"Miyabe Miyuki?" Atsushi blinked, as if he was remembering something.
"Adun, have you ever heard of her?" I asked.
"Well, in my impression, when I was in the orphanage, there was a period of time when I would always hear children of the same age calling 'Sister Miyuki' in the corridor." Atsushi held his chin with his hand, looking serious.
"I see, then why did Miyuki come?" I glanced at Dazai next to Atsushi and asked.
"It seems to be a magic trick for the children," Dun frowned and chuckled, "I heard the dean said that she can take out things that can only be found in the woods from her bag, which is very magical. But I have never seen it with my own eyes. .”
"What happened next? Where did she go?"
"Then she suddenly became silent and no one mentioned her again. I guess she resigned. After all, someone as powerful as her can't stay in an orphanage her whole life."
"Adun," Dazai turned around and asked, "Have those people mentioned any relevant information about this girl?"
"Ah, probably around 20 years old, with red hair, and always carrying a handbag of the same color." Atsushi looked at the ceiling, trying to remember.
"Si Ye, is that true?" Dazai asked me.
"Except for the different ages, everything else matches." I nodded.
"Well, if it's not ruled out that Miyuki knows other people with powers who can adjust time, then they must be the same person." Dazai shrugged and spread his hands.
"Are you the same person as the one with the superpower who controlled the branches this time?"
"I don't know about Adun, but Si Yejun, you must be the same person~"
"Ah? Then what should we do next?"
"Sit back and wait." Dazai looked at me deeply and smiled with a meaningful smile.
"What if she doesn't come?"
"Don't worry, if it were me, I would definitely come again."
