Judging from the size of the handprint and the lines in it, there is no doubt that this was left by the armored weirdo, and it also confirmed Aleg's guess that the armored weirdo was in Brica.
Because all his inferences only come from a sentence said by the armored weirdo in the Kingdom of Belohatan, "How to get to Brica City?".
From this sentence, Alleg believed that the armored weirdo was deliberately trying to guide him to Brica, and based on this, he also guessed that the armored weirdo hoped that he could investigate the executioner who was in the recent commotion.
To be honest, this process was a bit far-fetched, but now this fingerprint confirms everything.
Thinking of this, Aleg looked at the handprints on the ground and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
What is this? Is it a reward for guessing the puzzle correctly?
It's a pity that there is no other option now. Even if he knew that he was being used by the armored weirdo, he could only walk on with his head covered. Withdrawing his hand, Aleg stood up and pulled the adjutant away.
"Let's go to the library!"
…
"Pa~"
"It's a pleasure to work together~" Ren and his reflection on the glass window gave a gentle high-five.
Now he is on the train going home. The train has just started, and behind him is Brica Station, which is getting further away.
Until he packed his luggage, Renn was considering whether to stay and investigate the executioner himself. In the end, he gave up the idea. In addition to the intervention of the World Council in the investigation, there was also Alexi, who Renn had marked with a "?"
Ah, to be precise, it was Alexia who mentioned that thing.
There is a threat lurking in Brica City now, and it's not just an executioner. That thing might be more difficult to deal with than the executioner.
And the more he learned about those existences, the more Ren felt that he seemed to have been involved in something ominous. Before finding a solution, continuing to stay in Brica City might bring disaster to that city.
"excuse me?"
Suddenly someone next to him shouted, and Ren looked up and found an old man standing in the aisle looking at him.
Ren was a little wary, nodded and replied: "Yes, who are you, sir?"
The old man stepped forward and pointed to an old lady sitting on the other side of the aisle and said: "This is my wife. She... is not in good health, so I want to sit together so that I can take care of her more easily."
she."
Ren immediately understood that he wanted to change places with him, and he laughed at himself in his heart, saying that he had been a little confused recently and made everything more complicated.
He immediately stood up and went to pick up his luggage from the shelf. He smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll change places with your wife."
The old man smiled happily when he heard this and said thank you repeatedly.
At this time, the old lady opposite gave him a hand, and then said to Ren: "Young man, don't listen to him. I won't change my seat. I don't want to sit with this old guy. You sit still."
Ren stopped taking the things and stood there at a loss.
The old man patted his wife on the shoulder: "Isn't this just to take care of you?"
"No, I'm in good health."
"Oh, let's not quarrel at this time. If you have something to do, we can sit down later and say no, okay?"
The old lady slapped the old man's hand off and said, "Then sit down. There's an aisle across the street. If there's anything inconvenient about talking. Young man, sit down too. Hey, stop standing. Listen to me and sit down."
It turns out that the old couple were having an argument...
Ren could only smile, push the luggage back into the shelf, and then help the old man sit down before sitting back down himself.
The old lady then spoke: "Young man, let me tell you, there is really nothing wrong with my health. This old guy is lying to you."
Ren quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "The old gentleman also cares about you."
"Listen to his nonsense. I'm in very good health. It's not the murderer who caused trouble recently. He is just timid and scared all the time. He insisted on living with his relatives for a while and quarreled with me every day.
It’s not that this old guy scares me every day, and I’m afraid that something will happen to him, that’s why I won’t leave.”
"Why are you talking about this!"
The old man pulled the old lady's hand with a look of embarrassment on his face and asked the old lady to stop talking. As a result, the old lady spoke even more enthusiastically.
"He just wanted to change places with you. It's just because he is timid and suspicious. He doesn't dare to sit with a stranger. He insists on saying that I am in poor health and need to be taken care of."
Ren scratched his head and looked at the two of them across the aisle. You pulled me and I pulled you, trying to stand up: "You two should sit together."
The old lady took advantage of the moment when the old man turned around and kicked him with her calf. She said to Ren: "Sit down, sit down. Old man, look at how polite children are. Why are you so timid? By the way, kid, you
They should be students who go to school in Brica, right?"
"Yes, I'm going home for the holidays now." Ren replied.
But speaking of it, he seems to be similar to the two old men. They both went out to avoid the limelight...
The two chatted for a while, and most of the time it was the old lady asking questions and Renn answering. If the scene were changed, such as a restaurant or cafe, it might be regarded as a parent giving a blind date to the child.
However, Ren felt that the old lady was very shrewd, and she might just want her husband not to be so scared by asking such an insignificant question.
The journey was very long, and a few people just chatted for a while. After the initial time, people on the train began to do their own things, sleeping and entertaining. The old lady leaned on the chair and took a nap, and the old gentleman looked at
His expression was quite tired, but he didn't seem to dare to close his eyes, and he was reading a magazine bit by bit with his head.
Ren looked at the scenery along the way for a while, and soon his eyes became tired. He didn't really want to rest, so he put on his headphones and listened to music. When he was taking out something, he even startled the old man next to him.
It took a while of apologizing to calm him down. Now Ren didn't dare to make any big moves. He just leaned on the seat and listened to the song quietly. After a while, sleepiness swept over him.
Just when Ren was about to fall asleep and was half asleep, he suddenly felt like he was being stared at.
When I looked up, I saw that the old gentleman had his eyes closed, his head completely drooped, and the magazine he was holding fell to the ground at some point.
I guess my neck will be sore for a while after I wake up.
Ren glanced across the aisle again. The old lady was asleep, and a young man in the past was plugging in his headphones and playing games.
"Illusion?"
Ren retracted his gaze, patted the back of his neck, and prepared to continue resting in a different way. The posture he had just slept in was a bit awkward.
When he turned his head, he suddenly discovered that a huge eye had appeared outside the glass window and was almost attached to the window of the train.
It looks like the eyes of a raptor, and gray bird feathers can be seen around it. However, because it is too large, only the eye part can be seen through the window, so it is impossible to determine what type it is.
The huge pupils would occasionally move, as if a giant bird was sticking one side of its head against the window, observing itself.
Ren's sleepiness was suddenly frightened away, and he stood up suddenly.
"What's going on, what's going on?"
His actions woke up the old man next to him, who still didn't know what happened and asked with panic on his face.
Ren turned around and looked out the window, seeing a beautiful scenery.
