Pushing aside the person in front of him, Chiyo Rei kept saying sorry, and at the same time squeezed in the direction of the black-clothed boy. At this time, he was full of doubts, hoping that he had made a mistake, and that person was not a straggler at all. Just the clothes they wear are similar.
But soon his expectations were dashed.
Chiyo Rei, who was chasing after him, could clearly see the translucent curtain hanging behind the boy's bamboo hat. The familiar decoration on it made him understand that the people not far away were stragglers. He was not mistaken.
Chiyo Rei opened his eyes wide. Although he caught up with the skirmishers, he had no idea what to do next.
He couldn't understand how there could be characters that shouldn't exist at this point in time? Why does this character come to Narukami Island again? The most important thing is, if there are skirmishers, what happens to the Qingqi?
Countless questions came to him at once, and Chiyo Rei didn't know which one to think about first.
The skirmisher in front also noticed that someone was staring closely at him from behind. He turned around casually and saw that it was Chiyo Rei who was wearing a fox mask. He quickly turned back and started to speed up his pace.
Seeing that the straggler was about to leave, Chiyo Rei suddenly took two steps forward and grabbed the curtain hanging from the bamboo hat of the straggler before he could think about it.
But just like the situation when he caught up before, Chiyo Rei, who grabbed the curtain, had no idea what to do next. He just rushed forward based on instinct.
The straggler who had the curtain behind him had to stop. He remained silent and had no intention of speaking.
At the same time, the eyes of the surrounding pedestrians fell on Chiyo Rei and the soldiers. Their silence was in sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle on the street, making them very conspicuous.
Chiyo Rei reacted under everyone's scrutiny. He realized that being in such a stalemate was not an option, so he had an idea and tentatively called out the name, "Qingqi Zhe?"
The skirmisher froze slightly, and the next second he pressed the brim of his hat and responded in a low voice, "You found the wrong one." After that, he continued to move forward.
Since Chiyorei didn't use much force when grabbing the curtain, the soft fabric slid away from his palm without any hindrance.
Seeing the stragglers disappearing into the crowd, Chiyorei stood there stunned. In fact, he wanted to stop the stragglers again, but he had neither a position nor a reason.
Various questions surrounded Chiyo Rei. He spread his hands, and the smooth touch had not yet dissipated. Suddenly he felt that he had done something wrong. He should have forcibly left the scattered soldiers behind. As for what to do next, then Let’s talk about it later…
"pity!"
An anxious voice came from nowhere, and Chiyo Rei looked up blankly in the direction of the sound.
The next moment, Qinqi Zhe grabbed his hand.
"Rei, why did you get here?" Qingqi asked nervously. Because of the mask, he could not see Chiyo Rei's confusion.
Chiyo Rei opened her mouth and wanted to say that I saw another you, but unfortunately the words changed when she reached her mouth.
"I, I made the wrong mistake." Chiyorei lowered his head, "That's why I chased after you."
These words were confusing, but fortunately, the curious person could understand the meaning, "Did you see it wrong? Then don't run around next time, just wait for me where you are, and I will find you."
He only focused on admonishing Chiyo Rei, but Qingqi's nervousness had not faded away, and he did not delve into the problem of finding the wrong person.
He was panicked and frightened when he discovered that Chiyo Rei was missing a few minutes ago.
Although Chiyo Rei is not with him all the time, Qinqi knows where Chiyo Rei is every time and can easily find him. There has never been a situation like getting lost between the two.
Chiyo Rei, whose thoughts were gradually coming together, also felt Qingqi's worried mood. He nodded obediently, "I understand."
After receiving the assurance, Qingqi was reluctant to relax, but he did not let go of the hand that firmly held the former Chiyo Rei.
"Then let's continue shopping. There are still many stalls we haven't seen yet." The admirer said warmly.
"Okay, I'm hungry too, let's go get something to eat." Chiyo Rei tried his best to answer as usual, keeping the encounter with the stragglers in his heart as much as possible, and preparing to think about it again when he went back to be alone with her.
The admirer chuckled and agreed, holding Chiyo Rei's hand and blending into the tourists at the festival, as if the separation just now was just a small episode and not worth paying attention to.
However, on the rooftop where Qingqi Zhe and Chiyo Rei could not see, the skirmishers wearing bamboo hats were watching them until their figures disappeared from sight.
After watching for a while, the skirmisher jumped into the dark alley holding his hat.
Although he was separated by the fox mask, he still recognized the child, and judging from the other person's words and deeds, he found that he regarded him as another 'self' who he got along with day and night and did not suffer the last betrayal.
The skirmisher was silent for a moment, and memories came to his mind. He went back to the past, and the first thing he did after clarifying the situation was to close the out-of-control Mikage Furnace Heart, hoping to fundamentally prevent the tragedy from happening.
However, he was still a step too late, Niyu abandoned everyone just like last time.
It was precisely because of this that the skirmishers did not go looking for the child.
Since his intervention failed to change fate, would his absence have caused it to turn in another direction?
But Shanbing never expected that Qingqi would still exist at this point in time. He also found the child and lived with him.
For some reason, fate is much kinder to the dolls at this point in time this time around.
The skirmisher stood in the dark alley. He couldn't tell whether he was feeling regretful or lucky.
Obviously the child is very healthy and has even obtained the Eye of God. So if he takes him away first, it means that he can replace the Qinqi at this point in time and continue the previous agreement with the child, and they will become a child again. family.
Thinking this, Shanbing felt that maybe it was because he didn't interfere on purpose that the child could get a new chance, get the Eye of God, and finally survive.
What an irony.
The skirmisher let out a sneer. It was clear that he and the Qingqi at this time were the same individuals, but fate gave them completely different treatments.
He once again walked into the heart of the Mikage Furnace, touched the hot core, and tried to change his fate. However, he found nothing and his fate ruthlessly ran over in the direction he had set.
The admirers don't have to do anything to hold on to their last hope.
Unknowingly, the straggler thought of the word "same people but different fates". The more some people struggle, the more powerless they become, and the more they want to gain, the more they lose, while some people can gain everything just by standing there.
The skirmisher snorted and thought about what to do next.
It is impossible to join the Fools. In essence, he is not very interested in the Fools' resistance. Before, he only cooperated with them for the goal of becoming a god.
Now that he knew how to become a god, instead of waiting for hundreds of years, it would be better to find the Eightfold God Son now to get the Thunder God's Heart, and then go directly to Sumeru to find the Order Academy.
Judging from the current situation of Xumi, the Order Council is probably very willing to create new gods.
After all, the Little Lucky Grass King only has a grass number, and without the power of the Grass God, there is no way to help Xumi clean up the increasingly serious pollution.
In fact, according to the observation of the skirmishers in Sumeru, the idea of abandoning the Little Lucky Grass King and re-creating a god has probably long been considered within the Order, but they were unable to put it into practice due to insufficient materials.
This also explains why the doctor's god-making plan was approved by the Order Council so quickly.
The skirmishers still remember the enthusiastic eyes of the sages of the Order Academy. Human greed is reflected in all aspects, including the pursuit of knowledge.
On this basis, he believed that the knowledge and another god's heart he brought would allow the Order Academy to serve him at this point in time, and in return he would become the god of Sumeru.
Planning what to do next, the soldiers decided to wait a few days to find a suitable time and then talk to Yae Shenzi.
She wouldn't have any use for Thor's Heart of God anyway, so she wouldn't lose anything by giving it to him.
However, he thought that the cunning fox must have noticed it, and maybe she would appear in advance.
The skirmisher still remembers the attitude of the future Yae Shenzi when he handed over the Heart of God to him. He didn't care, as if he was getting rid of a burden.
With a cold snort, and putting aside the resistance he had due to the upcoming confrontation with the Yae Shenzi, the skirmisher put down the brim of his hat and walked into the alley alone.
Before being swallowed up by darkness, he suddenly felt that today's meeting, since it was the first time he and the child met in this time and space, would also be the last time. From now on, they would never meet again.
-
Near a small dock on the sand, the sound of swords clashing could be heard endlessly.
A man with brown hair mixed with a strand of red hair was holding an extremely crudely made knife. Opposite him were several people holding sophisticated weapons and wearing masks on their faces.
"Are you a doctor?" the man asked in a low voice. He was Niwa Hisahide, the former head of Tatasha.
Faced with Niyu's questioning, the people surrounding him did not respond, because they did receive orders from the doctor to deal with hidden dangers from the past, a guy who should have died long ago.
Fools don't have to give any answers to dead people.
Seeing that they were silent, Niwa felt a strong reluctance emerge from his heart. He was almost close. As long as he could get on the prepared boat, he would be able to go to Narukami Island and tell the truth about the sand-trampling to the palace minister of Narukami Taisha Shrine. , and the admirers.
Thinking of Qingqi, Niyu felt a little guilty.
At this time, he was glad that Qingqi had gone to Narukami Island, otherwise the Fools would definitely find a way to take him away.
The value of the God-made dolls is self-evident, and Escher, or the Doctor, made so many troubles in Talisha just to defeat the Qingqi and make him voluntarily join the Fools.
Thinking of this, Niyu tightened his grip on the knife in his hand. It was not a good knife, but it carried the belief of the knife holder at this moment.
Niyu wants to bring the truth to the past, not only for himself, but also for his friends, and even more for the innocent people of Tatasha who died tragically.
The Fools also felt the fighting spirit coming from Niyu, but they decided that in this situation, the advantage lies with me.
The modified mechanical weapon collided with the blade, and the vibration from the blade made Niyu's mouth numb.
That didn't hinder him. Instead, Niyu used his strength to leap backward and get rid of the fools.
After the long jump, he didn't hesitate and rushed towards the dock as fast as he could.
The Fools didn't expect Niyu to be able to escape, so they all gave chase.
Messy footsteps criss-crossed the path, and just when the Fools were about to catch up with Niyu, the night sky with the full moon changed color without warning, dark clouds arose, and several thunderbolts fell.
As an Inazuma, Niwa was already familiar with avoiding thunderstorms, but the Fools didn't have much experience with this.
In the sudden thunderstorm, the fools who could not dodge were confused and fled in all directions.
Seeing the Fools being struck by lightning and scattering the team, Niyu didn't dare to stay any longer and ran towards the dock amidst the roaring thunder.
As soon as he ran out of the path, he saw several figures on the pier.
Niyu's heart immediately sank. Just when he thought he was about to face another fierce battle, the thunder and lightning and dark clouds disappeared, and the covered silver-white moonlight fell on those people.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, Niyu saw clearly that those people were not fools, they were shrine maidens in red dresses.
One of the witches was holding a simple magic weapon in her hand.
The shrine maidens also saw Niwa, and the two looked at each other for a few seconds. Then Niyu heard the leading shrine maiden say, "Mr. Niwa, we are ordered by the Lord Palace Secretary and the Enchanter to take you to Narukami Island."
Hearing those two names, Niyu felt relieved.
