eventually

5. Determination (The Wind at the End of Summer Sou)

I'm actually not that smart.

Just to discover something first.

But I won't pretend, and I won't express it well.

Either too hot or too cold.

The feelings in my chest have never been understood.

I just kept chasing after it with my intuition. There was a touch in my heart, which could convey a sour feeling.

I just knew it was worth it.

Haruhiko had a dream.

Must be just a dream.

And he woke up and remembered that the dreams that adults often say are the opposite.

So he, who had just escaped the nightmare, smiled.

In the dream, the color of the water closely related to him is no longer transparent, blue reflecting the sky and fine minerals, and he no longer enters the familiar ocean like a fish, and finds it difficult to breathe in water for the first time, and what about his gills? ?What about the gills behind the ears?His hand stretched upwards, trying to grab a rope, but there was no rope, just a strange light green eye.He was so stuffy that he spit out a mouthful of air bubbles. The large and small bubbles in Gulu Gulu floated in the opposite direction to him. His cheeks were still open, but it was useless. The air flowing in was sour, which eroded his cheeks and flowed along Organs eroded into his heart and lungs, and in pain he descended empty and gradually as the bubble bid him farewell to the surface beyond his reach.In a panic, he waved his hands and feet, and only touched a wall. He couldn't see where the wall was, but he knew that he was separated, there was no light, and he didn't know if it was Liuli color. He exhausted all his strength to go Slapping the "wall" and shouting in the water, knowing that this will only make the acid water enter faster, but still want to do it.He wanted to ask for help, wanted to be discovered, and even said their names when he couldn't read clearly.

Watanabe...

Habitat...

Dipper...

Xuan Feng...

They knew the existence of their real names. Although both Di Po and Xuan Feng were forced to disclose their real names for the convenience of management, they had a good relationship, so there must be mutual trust in these names.

……Right

Haruhiko cried out in the light green liquid. He had seen the sky above that was only the size of a manhole cover. He was a frog trapped at the bottom of the well, but he was unable to climb out of the well. He saw Du Yu and Qi Qiang, full of expectations to call their names.It must be because he didn't explain clearly, or the water is too muddy?They didn't see me, and such thoughts flashed in their minds, and they slammed the "invisible wall" violently, making a loud noise that they could hear, but they didn't look back until they were tired, and walked past Duyu, Qichang, and then left. Passing Di Po, Xuan Feng, and Haruhiko smiled indistinctly in the light green, like the metamorphic liquid that gave birth to algae, he forgot why he laughed, but he was used to laughing, even now he was crying.The air was getting thinner, but he didn't even have the strength to snatch it.

stop,

look at me.

This was probably his inner voice, he suddenly woke up from the cool morning light, he sat directly on the bed, his throat hurt, Haruhiko touched his cheeks with palpitations, they were open, and there were a few small white scales behind his ears, He touched that position for a long time, until he suddenly realized something and found that his heart was still beating violently, and he was not relaxed at all. Then he leaned back and sank into three pillows.He sat in the middle, the pillow was very soft to relieve the soreness in his shoulders and back, it turned out that he could be very tired while sleeping, Haruhiko touched the position of the cervical spine, pressed it lightly, and then smiled.

all fake.

Dreams are reversed.

"I figured it out! My first wish!"

Look, Haruhiko who woke up in the dream is still so cheerful and positive, like the sun.

After being inquired by the black will hidden in the darkness, he, who is half sunny and half shadow, chose to smile in the light.

After being frightened, he stood in the corridor. On the window eaves were the five-color glazed wind chimes that he had hung, with colorful silks and carefully cut-and-pasted thousand paper cranes fluttering slowly in the wind like wicker, all green like rivers, One color is as bright as a peach, and one color is as purple as a dream falling. In the ten meters where Haruhiko is standing, colorful lights float in from the window, permeating the gray. The thousand paper cranes he made seem to be flying together. , And then he couldn't figure out, couldn't figure out the color of the ribbon, couldn't figure out how many paper cranes there were, what he could see seemed to be through a layer of backlit frosted glass, circle by circle, it was a blend of different warm and cold tones.

He knows he is never whole.

Nor does he aspire to completeness.

He already knows what he wants.

"Have you made up your mind?"

Yin Shu asked in Qingyan's ear.

And Haruhiko slowly turned to the left, facing the smooth mirror surface so that the false smile in the mirror was real and lifted up his index fingers with both hands, making it more realistic.He also narrowed his eyes slightly to make the lying silkworm fuller. The blue eyes were bright, reflecting the magnificence of his stay. He let go of his fingers, and his teeth were about to show when he smiled, and the elongated fangs were obvious. Others can't find anything.

"How is this?"

"So much more real."

"Was my smile so fake before?"

"I'm not telling lies, it's just that after watching it for a long time, anyone who pays attention can understand it."

"Hmm... that's because Dipo and the others are too delicate."

"Maybe."

"They... are so gentle."

Qing Yan smiled and covered the mirror. Yin Shu had been turning into a half-beast. His hands turned into powerful dragon claws, and the dragon's horns became thicker. The half of Yin Shu's waist also turned into a dragon's long tail.Yin Shu crawled on the upper left corner of the mirror, the black of the tip of his claws was completely opposite to the silvery white of the mirror frame, and his sharp, tapered dragon fingers tapped on the smooth mirror surface, and the black dragon mist surrounding Haruhiko became thicker. In the middle world, the black air suddenly disappeared.The sun was still there, and Haruhiko's fingers touched the surface of the colorless glass, which was so soft that ripples appeared like water marks. Yin Shu touched Qingyan's fingertips through a mask. He laughed, and he also laughed. Haruhiko was dressed in white, and Yin Shu in the mirror will always have a black death.

"Yin Shu, what are we?"

Haruhiko asked, he had discovered his mutation, even though it was also growth.

Yin Shu was silent.

However, Xicheng pushed open the wooden door and called Qingyan to have dinner. In an instant, he saw Haruhiko in the mirror with eyes that were narrower and longer than peach blossom eyes. The corners of the inner eyes were well hooked, and the tear mole was the most obvious, and he did not smile. In a panic, Chang opened his eyes to look again, but it was only the face that was very similar to Di Po, but much softer.I read it wrong?Xicheng searched around, but couldn't find any black mist, so he looked at Haruhiko again, at the real Haruhiko, seeing the smile on his face, he felt relaxed unconsciously.

"What is the little guy thinking? So happy?"

"Of course I miss you!"

Xicheng smiled, shook his head, closed the wooden door, leaned against the door and recalled carefully, that face of Haruhiko's first life... He and Du Yu still don't know why he changed his face after the second life It has been used until now, no, maybe Du Yu knows something, but he will definitely not say it when he is dull, he would have known such a thing... Xi Qiang stretched his waist seemingly lazily, with his hands behind his head, he would have known that now , It would be better to let Haruhiko always be Haruhiko, and Duyu always be Heqing.

Xicheng was troubled with nostalgia, but on the second day, Haruhiko made a fuss.

"Haruhiko!"

In a rage, Di Po pulled out his Hanyang sword and chased Qingyan for more than thirty laps in the pasture. Xuanfeng under the tree opened one eye to see the two fighting, and said in a low voice: "Two children. "Go into real sleep.

It all started when Haruhiko saw Dipper's wagging tiger tail.

He was dizzy and stumbled weakly. At that time, the distance was still far away, and the undulating hillside might have blocked Di Po's sight. He could feel Di Po looking over, but he didn't realize that he was , Haruhiko lay down in the grass for a while, and then he sat leaning against stones and weeds, and hugged his knees in a daze for a while. His trousers were not torn, but Haruhiko could feel that the bottom must be bruised, but the pain did not slip away as expected, he straightened up his trousers and saw a shocking bruise, he poked and pressed it with his finger, it really hurt, But he didn't scream or cry, he was so quiet that he didn't seem to be in pain.He hugged his injured leg in a daze for a while, but after waiting for a while, it didn't get better, so he put down his trouser legs and walked slowly. It hurt a little, but he could bear it.

Haruhiko remembered that Di Po said that today he would teach him how to fight in a beast state, but when he saw Di Po and Xuan Feng chatting so happily and forgetting himself, his tail kept wagging, he smiled slightly and looked at the hazy blue sky. Yun, he thought he could cheat for a while, so he focused all his attention on a fluffy tiger tail and suppressed his thirst.He found a hundred reasons for himself. You see, the tail is so clean, so fluffy, so... Haruhiko felt that he could touch it in his lifetime, so he held his breath and used [-]% of his "spirit" to build it for himself. The abstinence shield prevents Di Po from noticing his approach.

Then Haruhiko swallowed his saliva, took advantage of Dipo's inattention, held it with both hands, touched the tail tip from the base of the tail, the tiger's thick tail hair slipped in the palm of his hand, Haruhiko didn't dare to be greedy, and used the remaining 50.00% "spirit" "Run away.Sure enough, Di Po's tiger ears and tail were blown up, and he rushed out with his sword, aggressively trying to "chasing and killing" Haruhiko.

"I was wrong! I was wrong!"

Haruhiko raised his hands and ran while surrendering, playing with a playful smile, so he left the little bit of unhappiness and pain behind him, Di Po cursed behind him, threw ice cubes but missed, and Xuan Feng, who was sleeping lightly, was disturbed. When he couldn't fall asleep, he raised his hand impatiently and shot a thunderbolt, avoiding Di Po, who was a little powerless, and going straight to the lively Haruhiko.Seeing the electrical lightning wall suddenly appearing in front of him, Haruhiko immediately braked sharply and turned his head to protest Xuan Feng's mutiny. Before he could yell again, a shadow taller than him came from behind him, and someone slapped his right shoulder. Turning around slowly, he saw Di Po who was on the verge of explosion. The other party was smiling sullenly, with prominent canine teeth.

"Boy, keep running!"

Haruhiko knelt down on his knees and hugged Dipper's thigh.

"Xiao Po, I was wrong! Xiao Po, I will never dare again!"

"Get up!"

"No! I won't get up. If I get up, Xiao Po, you will definitely hit me!"

"Believe it or not, I'll kick you like this! Get up!"

"No! Xiaopo, you are so fierce! Beat me and scold me every day!"

"You! Be good... get up, I will never hit you."

Dipo gritted his teeth and tried to pull out a smile. He tapped the sword in his palm like playing with a feather duster. The flesh was not broken, but countless ice flowers were chopped out. Haruhiko looked up at Dipo's expression, swallowed his saliva, and thought to himself Dipper was sure to beat him to death.But he dared to resolve it, and he got up and hugged Di Po's waist, shaking his head and rubbing Di Po non-stop.

"Xiao Po, I just want to touch it. Usually, no one lets me touch the original shape. Today is the first time for me! And you think the tiger is so majestic and domineering! Who doesn't want to touch it, Xiao Po, you Don't be angry, at worst, I'll let you touch it back."

"Who cares!"

After saying this, Dipo didn't hit Haruhiko with his sword, but withdrew his sword, sneered and threw Haruhiko on his shoulder, and slapped Haruhiko's ass a few times, letting Haruhiko blow it in the summer Dazed in the cool breeze.Dipo put Haruhiko down, pinched Haruhiko's nose and said:

"Remember, children will be taught if they are disobedient. Also, what is 'Little Po'?"

"I think it's very kind!"

Haruhiko, who came back to his senses, rubbed his butt that was so hot and painful from the beating with one hand, and gestured his thumbs with the other hand, and said very righteously.

"Humph!"

Di Po snorted a powerful disdain, what's the reason?He crossed his arms and looked down upon Haruhiko majestically, but asked slowly.

"Didn't your 'parents', He Qing and Lin An, let you know the truth?"

"Ah...Xiao Du and Ah Cheng..."

Di Po couldn't hear the original name he read out, but he knew he was talking about He Qing and Lin An. Haruhiko smiled slightly, a bit mischievous and unscrupulous, and he compared his thumbs with his hands.

"Snakes and cranes are not as easy to pet as big cats like tigers! If I want to pet, I can pet Xiaopo, and Xiaoxuan's black panther!"

"Little furry boy!"

Dipper blinked and turned away to touch the hilt of his sword.Xuan Feng, who was nominated, suddenly woke up again from his dream, looked left and right with palpitations, caught a sudden Qing Yan, let him rub against his arms, Xuan Feng woke up a little bit and pressed Qing Yan's head, His voice was a little hoarse.

"what happened?"

"Xiaoxuan, I want to touch your original form."

Xuan Feng glanced at Di Po who was out of breath, and patted Qing Yan.

"I don't mind, but you and him are not allowed to quarrel with me for a while."

"Ok!"

Xuan Feng closed his eyes and fell down with peace of mind, his whole body turned into a black panther dozing in the sun. Under the influence of "Spirit", the humanized animal was much bigger than the original one. Excellent, Dipo wanted to pick up Haruhiko, but Haruhiko asked him.

"Xiao Po, why don't you try it? It's very comfortable to touch!"

"Who wants to touch him..."

Dipo looked at the black fur that was being stroked by Haruhiko. After a long silence, she slowly squatted down and followed Haruhiko to poke it, but was pulled away by the leopard tail. In crisis, he rubbed against Di Po's chest and hugged his waist tightly to prevent Di Po from rushing over.Haruhiko simply closed his eyes and revealed the dragon's horns, ears and tail.

Dipper grabbed the wagging tail of the hairy lizard.

"Why do you grow such a deer..."

"...Xiao Po, I am a dragon..."

"never seen it."

"Oh, don't worry about it, Xiao Po, you've seen it now, quickly change to my original shape, I want to touch it!"

"What are you, you are only a half-beast, and you want to see me turn into a full-beast!"

"I don't care, I don't care, I want to touch, I want to touch!"

"Tsk! Come on, you're so annoying! I'll change right away, get the hell out of here after the change."

"Ok!"

Reluctantly, Di Po turned into a giant white tiger, propped up by her strong hind legs, and her tail was also a point of strength.

"Okay, let go now."

After Haruhiko smiled, he touched the tiger's chin, causing Dipo to let out a comfortable grunt, making Dipo relax his vigilance, and then exerted great strength to drag Dipo to the side. Dipo was afraid of pressing Qingyan. In an emergency, he supported the ground to leave a gap for Haruhiko, the tiger claws in front slapped the roots of the tree, and his cold voice came from the tiger's mouth.

"Little devil, what are you messing around with!"

Haruhiko smiled lightly, grabbed his front paws and rolled over between the two "beasts" Di Po and Xuan Feng, stroked the hair on the back of Di Po's neck, turned sideways and said sleepily:

"Little Po, take it easy, you've been so tired all this time, you'll be exhausted, let's take a rest under the tree today, shall we?"

"Smelly brat... You obviously want to be lazy."

"Then let it be."

Haruhiko approached Di Po. At this moment, Di Po, the white tiger, was lying sideways on the grass. Haruhiko buried his whole body in the white fluffy tiger belly hair. Rubbing against her chest, she was about to fall asleep and said:

"is it not OK?"

"I'm too lazy to argue with you, little brat."

Haruhiko chuckled lightly in his arms.

"Little Po is always like this. She knows that she is extremely tired, but she still pretends to be relaxed. Xiao Po, she likes to be brave."

"What are you talking about, kid!"

There was some feigned anger in Dipper's voice.

"I mean, little Pu, very gentle. And I like this little Pu very much."

"...Tsk."

Dipo's tiger eyes with vertical pupils stared at Haruhiko, and after allowing the stream of light to surge, he trembled the same white eyelashes as Haruhiko, and then closed his eyes.

"Go to sleep."

Dipper spoke softly, his voice slow and deep.

Haruhiko responded with a smile. He looked at the layers of spots between the leaves above the tree, and the light rustled like countless light golden dragonflies. He knew it was the wind caressing the tree, but at this moment he was more willing to think that it was the dragonflies vibrating in the light. Wings, slowly, and like flying into the thick sun, from warm to warmer, from the breeze to the breeze.

"Huh, huh..."

Mo Li rushed all the way, she looked behind her from time to time, as if there was some scourge, but she forgot that there was a trace of black air wrapped around her feet, she ran as required, and the wind and dust turned into a phantom and rushed to the first area, Then she saw the unpredictable light and shadow, the white-haired boy stroking two giant beasts, one black and one white, in the mottled under the tree.He seemed to have known that he would come, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth in An Ning.Then Qing Yan's eyes were soft, and the way she looked at her made people mistakenly think that he was in love, while Mo Li knew herself, she knew that they were just strangers.Haruhiko lowered his eyes slightly, and looked at the black and white beside him again, Mo Li knew where the tenderness came from. Qingyan put his index finger to his lips, and stared at his eyes.

"Shh, they're sleeping. It's hard to sleep so soundly, don't wake them up."

This is different from the Qing Yan in Mo Li's memory who forced a smile on his face. At this moment, he seems to have been reborn. Maybe he really does not belong to District 55. He was born in District [-], and only in District [-] can he be truly happy. .

And Haruhiko turned his head to think on his own, and when he remembered something, he opened his mouth slightly and whispered.

"...Are you Mo Li from class three?"

"Hmm! It's me!"

Haruhiko saw the huge changes in the other party, the "spirit" fluctuated disorderly, and the appearance did not look like a nine-year-old person, as if it was directly from the changing laws of the samples nine, fourteen, sixteen, eighteen, twenty, and thirty. After breaking through two levels, Mo Li was no longer the gray-haired little girl that Qingyan remembered, but a young girl at the right age. Qingyan remained calm, and asked her with a polite smile.

"Is there something wrong with me?"

Mo Li plopped and knelt on the ground.

"Please, you are the only high-strength person I know. Now that there is an accident in the third class, only you can save us."

"I've said it all... Keep your voice down, they're still sleeping."

Haruhiko pressed a tiger ear and a leopard ear slightly.

"please."

"Don't worry, I will help you naturally, let me tell you what it is first."

"Eh……"

Mo Li uncharacteristically readily agreed with Haruhiko, but Haruhiko's smile made him see no flaws.She told Haruhiko everything in detail.

"Hmm... What you mean is that Lai Shanghe failed to attack the Forbidden Forest, unintentionally triggering the ancient talisman formation, which led to the 'Miasma Beast Disaster'?"

"Yes, please save them!"

"Why don't you go find another tester?"

Haruhiko's fingertips brushed against Baihu's ear.

"You know what will happen to us if we are discovered!"

"Well... Indeed, I understand."

Haruhiko blinked slightly, smiled and got up to pat the grass clippings on his robe.

"Let's go."

His expression seemed to really want to help Mo Li, but his movements were a bit slow, and Mo Li couldn't tell what was wrong. Haruhiko had always had a good temper, and she thought he was the person who was most likely to help them and who could help them the most. In fact, Haruhiko also readily agreed. According to his personality, he would not shirk, but he agreed a little too quickly, although he was a little bit powerless in everything except his expression...

Mo Li didn't dare to rush him.

"and many more."

Dipo, who had re-formed into a human form, grabbed Haruhiko.

"you're awake?"

"Nonsense! Don't be in a hurry, kid, go and I will go with you."

"Hey, isn't Xiao Po always too troublesome?"

"If it wasn't for a certain fool who was always bullied by a group of weak people, and he was afraid that he would not be able to control his strength and beat them to death, and swallowed his anger until it was disgusting, would I get up?"

Haruhiko smiled at Di Po.

And Morley shouted in surprise:

"Heaven's No. [-]!"

"Tsk, it's me. What are you shouting, keep your voice down."

Di Po said impatiently, and Xuan Feng slowly changed back to human form, so Mo Li was shocked again.

"Heavenly second!"

"Xiaoxuan, you're awake too."

"Well, it's hard not to wake up from this situation."

"Then... go together or..."

"Together."

Xuan Feng touched Qing Yan's head and said.

And Mo Li was speechless. He didn't expect that Haruhiko, who was rejected in the third class, would get along like a fish in water in the first district. The first and second, who had always been indifferent in nature and didn't communicate with other subjects, would have such a good relationship with Haruhiko. But when Mo Li thought carefully about Qingyan's strength, he could understand that they were just taking advantage of it to bully Qingyan, but in the end they still needed Qingyan to help them.

"Need help? You look a little tired."

Haruhiko walked up to Mo Li unconsciously, Mo Li was startled and waved his hands quickly.

"No, no need."

"Humph."

Dipper grunted to show his disdain.

"Can you lead the way?"

"Ah... yes."

Being asked this question by Tiangan No. [-], I can clearly feel that No. [-] and No. [-] treat her with contempt. After finishing all the process, it is already very good not to be held grudges.

Mo Li thought to himself that bringing the three of them to the Forbidden Forest seemed to prove the difference in strength. The number one and number two did not intervene, but just watched from the sidelines. They did a good job of sealing the aftermath, but the trees within the attack range could not be recovered, and Haruhiko did not belong to the "Spirit of Wood".In the blink of an eye, Qing Yan solved the problem that had troubled Mo Li, Lai Shanghe, and Wang Miao'er for a long time. Mo Li was not only shocked, but also afraid of his previous behavior.

"monster."

Lai Shanghe spat very softly.

When Qingyan turned around, he clearly heard it, but he didn't embarrass Lai Shanghe, instead he grabbed Dipo's sleeve. Lai Shanghe, who had become so small, was pulled to the ground, and his feet stepped on his face, crushing him hard, and he held an ice pick in his right hand, which could be pierced at any time.

"It's not that we are monsters, it's that you, you guys, are trash who can only shout."

Lai Shanghe gritted his teeth and couldn't struggle on the ground. Dipo wanted to pierce down with an ice pick, but was stopped by Haruhiko.

"Enough, Xiaopo, don't go too far."

"If I say you're stupid, you're stupid! With your strength, you can hit these things as many times as you want, right?"

"Little Po!"

"……Really annoying."

Di Po kicked Lai Shanghe aside, and after Lai Shanghe rolled out several times, he grabbed the sand on the ground and released the "spirit" that had been stored for a long time, and stabbed toweringly towards Di Po's back.

"The weak."

Di Po pierced the ground with an ice wall, and the sand flew all over the sky, but it didn't stain Di Po's body at all through the white ice.

"Look, did I say it? These guys, no matter how nice you are to them, either they only want to be attached to you because of your strength, or they just don't have a long memory to exclude you, suppress you, or even take away your power ! You should never have touched them in the first place!"

The wind was loud, but Haruhiko could hear it clearly in the flying leaves. His hands and feet were a little cold, and the soreness in his knees became more and more obvious in the summer wind. When he looked at Di Po's eyes, they were as dazzling as golden amber and as In the light of the sun, he thought of the most critical question, so he felt a sore throat.

"You say that... then what if I am also weak?"

The question may not have mattered to Tepper, but it mattered to him.

Dipper laughed at Haruhiko's sentimentality.

"There are no ifs in the world, and, according to your words, no matter what your innateness is, you will become very strong in the end."

"……how do you know?"

Di Po made an offensive move against Lai Shanghe who still wanted to make a small move, the ice crystals slowly condensed, and he gave Haruhiko a maniacal smile.

"I just know it."

A clump of icebergs rushed out.

"go home."

"……Um."

Haruhiko...doesn't understand Dipper for granted, but he envies him.

"please wait!"

Mo Li quickly stopped the three of them, and handed an object wrapped in Sipa to Haruhiko.

"It's a small thank you! I know it's nothing to you! But please forgive me!"

Haruhiko smiled softly, his throat twitched.

"Don't worry, I never held grudges against you. What could you do at that time? You chose to protect yourself from being implicated. I can understand."

Sometimes he would think, it's not how magnanimous he really is, but if a person like him is not gentle, what else is there to look at?

"cut."

Di Po dragged Qing Yan away by his sleeve, while Mo Li was complicated, Lai Shanghe spat out a mouthful of dirty blood under the iceberg and struggled to climb out, he beat the ground.

"Damn it! If it weren't for..."

"You save it!"

Mo Li turned around and scolded Lai Shanghe.

Qing Yan was dragged halfway, and then Di Po finally realized after Xuan Feng reminded him that he still had a transfer talisman to return to the first district. After several people returned, Di Po threw Qing Yan onto the gentle slope with a cold face.

"You should have asked Xuan Feng about me, right?"

"how do you know?"

"After all, you asked about Xuan Feng that day, so a fool would not be able to figure it out."

"Then... what do you want, little Po? Are you going to beat me up?"

Dipper let out a sigh.

"Stupid, that wooden-faced idiot must be wrong, so don't I understand the gossip others are talking about?"

Di Po said in front of Xuan Feng's eyes.

"Let me tell you the truth of the story. My originally good 'Bing Po' was ruined by a villain, so I have worked so hard to restore it to this day. Hey, smiling idiot, don't talk to me identical……"

"……Um."

Di Po touched the top of Haruhiko's head, the kind of emotion that was not short-lived came slowly, and Haruhiko readily accepted, what he knew, what he knew, through Di Po's firm eyes, what Di Po had been pursuing.Just like Haruhiko himself, when he looked in the mirror, he was thinking about something.Maybe it was the first time Di Po was not used to saying such words, he turned his back and coughed a few times before going to another place by himself, leaving Xuan Feng to sit next to Qing Yan.

"Are you really not bothered?"

"It's not that I don't care about it, but I feel...even if I care about it, it's meaningless."

"Why? At least it will make you quiet."

"Well, yes, but it just proves that I'm the real monster they see. I'm not, am I?"

He never wanted to be a monster, he just wanted the same.

Xuan Feng saw the smile on the corner of Qing Yan's mouth.

"If Dipper turns back, he'll hit you."

"I just want to get along."

"Don't burden yourself too much, you are just a child."

"It's okay, I'm fine, I don't have any pressure, I feel heartless every day."

"You... and Di Po are two stubborn people together, relax, don't you still have us?"

"Yeah! That's why I can be heartless! Xiaoxuan! I'm really happy."

"Forget it, barely pass."

Xuan Feng raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, rubbing the hand on top of Qing Yan's head without stopping.

After returning home, Haruhiko opened the silk handkerchief Mo Li gave in front of Duyu. Fortunately, it was wrapped in a water cover, and the black and yellow mist ran out. There was indeed a good spiritual fruit inside, but there were insects crawling on the spiritual fruit.Haruhiko looked at the centipede-like worm crawling on the inner wall of the water cover. Its mouthparts were always facing towards him. If he was not careful, he might be entangled by the worm.

Under the treatment of Duyu, the meat worms were slowly corroded by the green sap.

"Xiaodu, what are we going to do next?"

"You go to the second district with the teleportation talisman, and then tell Xuan Feng and Di Po to pack up their daily necessities and come to the Taoist temple in the back mountain."

"Ok!"

Haruhiko listened obediently, watching the worm in the water polo grinning at him, and then spat out the words "District Two, One Zero One" in black and yellow, and he also knew that only he could see this kind of words.

When Haruhiko arrived in front of the house with the "[-]" wooden sign, he didn't even push the door, the door opened to him, deliberately dragging the speed and making a slow and gloomy "squeak" sound, and then a too pale white light flickered in the darkness .

"welcome."

The man with short black hair told Haruhiko that he invited Haruhiko in, and when he turned around, Haruhiko discovered that the man still had a bunch of braids on the back of his head.He has a little impression of this person, and Du Yu probably mentioned it.

There was not only one person in the house, an old man in white robe and a young man with brown hair and green eyes.

That old man, Haruhiko, could guess that he should also be the Grand Elder Du Yu said.

But he didn't know the young man.

Haruhiko didn't say much, but sat on a rattan chair according to the instructions of the black-haired boy. The boy also paced slowly and sat opposite Haruhiko. He pushed out the spiritual fruit that Haruhiko had seen—it was Sipa of the kind.

"I won't ask for it."

"Don't refuse in such a hurry, this is something that can directly increase your ability by ten times."

"If it really works, are they still trapped in the Forbidden Forest?"

"That's because waste is useless...you are different, you are the real No.1."

Haruhiko exhaled, closed his eyes, shook his head and smiled.

"No, I'm not number one, I'm just a very ordinary person. And I believe that the more effective something is, the more expensive it will be."

"What about those friends from the first district?"

Haruhiko looked at the boy with a smile.

"People who threaten others are even less credible."

"However, it's not up to you."

The black hair grabbed a handful of black and yellow powder and threw it at Haruhiko's door.

Haruhiko's water cover immediately blocked it, and he couldn't help smelling a stench.

"I forgot to say, this thing will be hit as soon as it evaporates, that is to say, you didn't stop it."

Qing Yan covered his heart and frowned, the black dragon shape surrounding him became more and more obvious in the air, and Yin Shu came out.

"Bafu, what did you spill?"

"Don't worry, it's just some small creatures, just to help you recover your nature, haven't you endured it for a long time? But... you actually know my name?"

Ba Fu approached Haruhiko and gave a wicked smile.

"What did Du Yu say?"

"No comment."

Haruhiko looked at Ba Fufu coldly, but when Yin Shu made an attacking posture, he felt that the thirst in his suppressed throat and the restlessness of the canine teeth intensified. He knew that the canine teeth were in a state of eating even if he didn't lick them. And even sharper, bursts of hunger came from the empty stomach.

Does Du Yu know?

Still know, still let him come.

He remembered that he asked Yin Shu what he was.

I also remembered that he still has another mission...

The long and grueling bluestone steps.

The steps under Haruhiko's feet were very long, and Haruhiko was thinking about various countermeasures and being absent-minded all the way down, but it was not for himself, no, it was also for himself, after all, he had his own selfish intentions.

"Hey, kid, what are you calling us to the Taoist temple for?"

Dipper asked.

"I don't know either, Du Yu asked me to do this."

"Do you believe what he says?"

"Well, I believe him, but Di Po, Xuan Feng, you don't have to. If you feel something is wrong, run away quickly. It's best to leave 'Tiangan'."

"Don't you want me to see what's going on when you say that!"

"Haruhiko, what happened?"

Under Xuan Feng's questioning, Qing Yan looked at the sky that was about to rain.

He is not afraid of falling, because now his head hurts from the wind, which makes him awake. His hands and feet are cold, but his torso is as hot as lava. Walking, facing Dipo and Xuanfeng, they jumped up the steps step by step, and Dipo stepped forward to stop him.

"Are you crazy? Why do you do such a dangerous move?"

"Xiao Po, you forgot, we can't be hurt like this."

"Tsk... Don't worry about you for nothing, play slowly, you will die if you fall."

Haruhiko laughed out loud, and turned his back to Dipo Xuanfeng and the two of them. The edge of the steps was worn down and the feet were weak, and the cloudy day made people sweat a little. He had heard the ballad many times in the pastures of District 55 before, and he would sing it quietly in private, but it was the first time he hummed it in front of others, so Haruhiko tried his best to sing the tune well, for fear that he would be left.

He sang and sang, laughing and scolding himself for singing so badly, then sensing the lack of water vapor in the air, he smiled and said:

"You are still too gentle."

He spoke vaguely, deliberately making himself understandable.

"I feel... something bad is going on."

This is what Di Po and Xuan Feng listened to.

The constriction in Haruhiko's throat was even stronger, he walked in front, he didn't look back for a long time, he didn't look.

"All the staff are here, then, Du Yu, come and speak!"

Qi Qiang in the Taoist temple looked at Du Yu.

"From now on, don't accept anything sent by 'Tiangan', and people should try to stay in Taoist temples as much as possible."

"Heqing, what's going on!"

Di Po asked Du Yu angrily.

"A battle against the people in District [-] is about to begin."

"what?"

Dipper's doubts
