The water of the Yodogawa River flows rapidly along the river. On the streets on both sides, a few pedestrians pass by, walking in a hurry, as if they are all rushing home.
At this moment, in a shadowed corner of the river, a hand suddenly stretched out from the rushing river and grabbed the raised bricks on the side.
Immediately afterwards, a figure jumped up from the river with the help of force, and landed steadily on the shore amidst the slight sound of water splash.
Lin Qiye, who was soaked all over, stood in the darkness, with water droplets flowing down the hem of his windbreaker. He placed a black box on the ground, reached out and took off the Sun Wukong mask on his face, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Under the Yamazaki Bridge, after the huge blade fell, he directly used [Dark Night Flash] to move to the river two kilometers away. Under the gaze and search of the mysterious eyes, he was like a stiff stone, motionless.
I followed the Yodogawa River and drifted in the river for a long time.
At the moment when he used [Dark Night Blink], he wanted to flash directly to the shore on both sides, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't know the location of the attacker, and he was not familiar with the surrounding environment. If he rashly returned to the shore, if he was on the
If the enemy finds him during "One, Two, Three, Wooden Man", he will be in danger.
Therefore, he would rather float in the river than return directly to the shore. At least all his traces can be well hidden in the water.
Lin Qiye looked around. He had no idea where he was in Osaka. After hesitating for a moment, he walked towards a pedestrian not far away.
"Hello, how can I get to Dotonbori?"
Pedestrians were stunned for a moment when they saw Lin Qiye who was soaked all over, and then politely pointed out a way.
Lin Qiye's first priority was to meet up with Yurina who had dispersed, and all his money had been given to the taxi driver, so it was impossible to take a taxi. Fortunately, it was not very far from Dotonbori.
You can get there quickly even by walking.
As Lin Qiye walked, he recalled the knife that fell from the sky.
That sword must not be something ordinary people can do, and if it is an oracle, the other party should take the initiative to show up in front of people and accept the kneeling... Combined with the black blade, Lin Qiye speculated that the person who made the move should be
One of the masters of Fujin Nine Swordsmen.
And the other party's intention is also very obvious, which is to kill him.
However, when the sword came, he did not find any suspicious person within the range of his mental perception. Maybe the opponent's Fujin sword can exert its power over a long distance?
Who was the person who stabbed him?
Lin Qiye thought about it and realized that the only one who knew that he was on the Yamazaki Bridge and had a grudge against him was Hanchuan Si.
Is this young master of the Hanchuan family also a Fujin sword master...
After a long time, Lin Qiye finally reached the entrance of Dotonbori.
Even late at night, this street full of modern atmosphere looks very lively. Although there are not many pedestrians on the road, the dense neon signs on both sides still illuminate the black night sky, making it dazzling.
Lin Qiye's mental power swept around, then turned around and walked in a certain direction.
Next to the brightly lit street, a small alleyway is winding and twisted. Even the bright neon lights cannot illuminate this dark and narrow path. It is like an unattended shadow of this street, existing alone.
in darkness.
In the corner of the alley, a little girl wearing an old cherry blossom kimono was curled up next to the trash can, her head buried in her knees, and she seemed to have fallen asleep.
A helpless smile appeared on Lin Qiye's lips. He pushed the little girl gently.
"Yurina, wake up."
Yurina was like a frightened kitten, waking up from her drowsiness in an instant. She subconsciously shrank back and put her arms across her body to protect her body.
When she saw the person in front of her clearly, she was stunned for a moment, then she pursed her lips slightly, opened her arms, and hugged Lin Qiye, her eyes a little red.
"Brother Qiye, I thought you would never come back..." Her soft voice, with a hint of crying, sounded in Lin Qiye's ears.
"We encountered some troubles, but they have been resolved."
"Are you hurt?"
"No."
"That's good." Yurina nodded, "I listened to you, escaped from the surveillance camera and ran here, and then waited here all the time. I didn't go anywhere."
"Did anyone spot you?"
"Not on the way here, but when I was hiding here, there was an uncle. He saw that I was pitiful here and wanted me to go to the store to eat something, but I didn't go."
"Are you hungry?"
"Hungry." Yurina whispered, "But it doesn't matter, I'm used to it... Even though I'm still young, I'm very resistant to hunger."
Feeling the warmth coming from Yurina's petite body, Lin Qiye felt a little distressed.
This child's life... is too miserable.
Yurina felt the wetness on Lin Qiye's body, smelled it carefully, and raised her head blankly,
"Did you go take a bath in the smelly ditch?"
Lin Qiye:......
Lin Qiye stood up and looked around, "Let's go, I'll take you to dinner first. I haven't eaten the Kobe beef I promised you yet."
Yurina blinked, "Do you still have any money on you?"
"……No."
"Then you want to take me to have a meal?"
"..."
Lin Qiye scratched his head and was about to say something when a figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alleyway.
"Huh? Why is there another one?"
It was a middle-aged uncle wearing a black sequined suit. He wore shiny leather shoes, and the black hair on his head was meticulously combed back. His hair was so shiny that it could reflect the neon signs on the street. In the pocket of the sequined suit,
There is also a red rose inserted, which looks coquettish and gorgeous.
His hands were elegantly holding a tray with a bowl of miso soup and a plate of steaming pork chop rice.
"It might not be enough for two people..." The uncle scratched the back of his head in confusion.
Lin Qiye turned to look at Yurina in confusion.
"He is the uncle who asked me to eat in the restaurant before." Yurina recognized him at a glance and said.
"Little girl, who is he to you?" The uncle looked at Lin Qiye, who was carrying two black boxes and wearing a black windbreaker with a cold expression, and asked strangely.
"He..." Yurina thought for a while, "He is my brother."
"It turns out that you refused to go back to the store with me to eat before because you had to wait for your brother." The uncle showed a look of realization. He turned to look at Lin Qiye and said with some displeasure,
"Hey, you are an elder brother, why can't you even take care of your own sister? I see she has been squatting here all afternoon. How pitiful the little girl is!"
Lin Qiye's expression was a little embarrassed.
The uncle looked at Lin Qiye, who was all wet, and then at Yurina, who was all in tatters, and sighed helplessly.
"You two, if you don't have money to eat, come to my store and eat whatever you want... There are a lot of ingredients left in the kitchen today, and it will be wasted if you throw them away. I won't charge you money, uncle."
