In the afternoon, the sun shines on the earth in strips through the clouds. Under the white clouds and blue sky, wind chimes hang on the wooden eaves. The gentle breeze reminds me of the crisp ringing.
Kasumigaoka, Kato Megumi, Qiong and Ye You walked on the ancient streets one after another.
"Let's go to the shrine yesterday again. There will also be a scene of a desolate shrine in my next novel, which can be used as a reference." Kasumigaoka stepped on her clogs and raised her head and said.
"Yeah. I think it's very interesting there. The light was too dark last night and I couldn't see clearly. Today I can take a closer look." Ye You said while paying for the stall on the street. He bought three apple candies. , hand it to them.
"You don't want to eat?" Qiong asked, her long straight hair sloping down to her waist, seeming to sparkle under the warm sun.
Ye You shook his head, made a sound, and started chewing the red candy apple like a hamster. Kato squatted down on the white stone slope. In front of her was a wooden basin with bright goldfish swimming in it.
"Do you want to catch goldfish?" Ye You asked, and then bought 20 spoons from the boss with a white scarf on his head. They were made of paper and would break with just one tap. Four people, no one has exactly five.
Qiong squatted down, holding the candy apple in his left hand, holding the spoon tightly with his right hand, and carefully scooped it towards the goldfish. However, as soon as it touched the water, the goldfish swung its tail, and the spoon broke a hole. The boss showed a happy smile.
Kasumigaoka stacked the five spoons together and rolled up her sleeves, "Look at mine."
Before she could fish it out, she was stopped by the panicked boss: "Miss, you can't, you can't do this."
During this interval, Kato had already picked up three goldfish, without breaking a single spoon.
"The goldfish don't seem to be afraid of you." Ye You said with a smile. When Kato reached out, the goldfish didn't feel anything unusual at all and swam away gracefully. Even when it was picked up by a spoon and put into a bag filled with water, it didn't struggle. This made Ye You wonder.
"Yes. They are all cute." Kato covered the hem of his skirt with the elbow holding the candy apple, staring at the goldfish in the water seriously. One scoop, another. It wasn't until the sixth goldfish that the boss finally discovered the situation here. He couldn't help but break into a cold sweat behind his back. He thought to himself, he met a master, he won't fall into trouble here today, right? I obviously made the thickness of the net thinner again.
Kasumigaoka and Qiong looked on with great admiration.
"Wow! That's amazing."
"Catch one for me too."
The boss's face gradually became stiff, but fortunately Kato Megumi stopped when he reached the eighth scoop. He returned the remaining four spoons to the boss and said, "Can you help me pack it in four bags?"
Kato still attracts attention when he takes the initiative to talk to someone. The boss wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and finally let go of his anxious heart: "Ah? No, no problem! This lady is really amazing."
"Thanks."
Kato took the four bags. In the transparent bags, two small goldfish were swimming quietly.
The four of them took the bag with the goldfish and walked for half an hour to visit the shrine where they visited yesterday. It is very quiet here. The green weeds are half as tall as a person. Only two pillars of the torii remain, revealing the decayed wooden materials inside. Half of the roof of the central main hall is damaged. A beam of sunlight shines directly into the ruins. The quiet dust is in the light and darkness. float.
Although this place is dilapidated, it has a unique kind of tranquility and beauty.
Ye You walked to the ancient well that he saw last night. It was surrounded by grass and vines climbed up the '#' shaped well mouth. The wooden materials on it are soaked with time and appear pale and mottled. This is the only complete item from the shrine.
Ye You looked towards the mouth of the well. There was no water, and there was bottomless darkness inside. Even in the daytime, the bottom could not be seen. The abnormality he felt last night seemed to come from here. But now it seems that it is just an ancient relic of some age.
Ye You rubbed his fingers on the rotten wood, feeling the bumps and hardness on his fingertips. He concentrated and felt it quietly. Ever since he was on the street just now, Ye You seemed to feel that a gaze was looking away from him. It's normal to have gazes. After all, with three beautiful girls, you will definitely receive jealous gazes. But that one was different. It felt a little ethereal, like an illusion. It seemed to have been following him.
This place was quiet and deserted. If you could still feel the line of sight, it would not be an illusion, but Ye You did not feel it again.
"Is it really an illusion?"
Now that Ye You's powerful mental power has opened the 'Sixth Consciousness', as long as he concentrates, anyone's gaze that stays on him for more than 2 seconds can be felt. If the gaze is full of emotions, it will be even more intense.
"Yu. Yuu." Qiong trotted over, and Kato and Kasumigaoka walked into the dilapidated shrine in the distance to watch.
"Here you go." Qiong handed the candy apple over, and she turned her head: "It's too big, I can't finish it."
Ye You reluctantly took it, took a bite, and handed it over. On the grass, under the afternoon sun, next to the shrine, Qiong silently took it, then with a red face, he silently licked it, as if he was tasting the most beautiful delicacy.
Continuing walking along the grass in the backyard of the shrine, there is a sparkling stream in front of you, with the tinkling and crystal clear water. Kato, Qiong and Kasumigaoka squatted by the stream, opened the bag and put the goldfish into the stream on the pebbles, and swam away in the direction of the current with their tails swaying.
"Don't get caught again." Kato shouted over there. Kasumigaoka and Qiong stood aside and watched silently, and the goldfish in their hands became free.
The curtain slowly fell, and the night began to close. Only the afterglow in the west was still dancing with blood-red flames.
The group returned to the hotel, learned their lesson, and only ordered dinner for three this time.
Ye You sat at the dining table and opened the chat room, connecting to Nagato.
Aozora: Nagato, do you still have a positioning radiation device
Nagato: Yeah. There are still some materials left from last time. Can still make four more.
Aozora: Could you please upload three more
Nagato: Yeah. Hold on.
Aozora: Thank you.
Today's sight still made Ye You very concerned, and he wanted to put this on them. If it's normal, forget it, this approach is completely like a stalker. But there seems to be something incredible in the town here. To be on the safe side, Ye You can only do this.
"This is a receiving device equipped with a satellite positioning system. In order to prevent everyone from getting separated, please take this with you."
"And this kind of high technology? Ye You, you are not an ordinary high school student on the surface, but you are actually a detective wearing glasses, right?"
Kasumigaoka took it doubtfully. Qiong had seen it before, and it was installed on Sakura's hair, and it was also on Kallen's body, so there was nothing surprising about it. Kato didn't say anything, he just thought it was funny.
