Traveler, High School Student, Homeless

"Of course I accepted it. It would be better to say that seeing such a young man crying, the guy who can still refuse is really cruel."

Jiang Ming sighed.

"He clearly said that he is not a meddlesome person, but Jiang Ming really didn't agree with what he meant."

Fengzi shook his head.

"You're the only one who will talk poorly."

Jiang Ming reached out and patted Feng Zi's head, while the girl made a face at Jiang Ming.

At this moment, footsteps sounded from inside the office.

Jiang Ming heard the familiar footsteps, looked up and saw Virgil appearing with a slightly complicated expression.

Well, it seems that I heard everything.

You don't even need to guess, you can tell by the expression on this guy's face.

"Did you accept that commission?"

Virgil looked at Jiang Ming and asked.

"Of course it's next."

Jiang Ming nodded.

"It's pretty meddling."

Virgil who walked into the office said indifferently.

"No way, no way, I'm just a guy who likes to meddle in other things. But you, Virgil, have been bored in the house for more than ten days. Why don't you stop by and take a look? It's like going out for a walk. of?"

Jiang Ming yawned and said.

"also."

Nodding slightly, Virgil simply chose to agree.

No, it's better to say that this guy wanted to go, but he just couldn't bear it.That's why Jiang Ming needs to give him a step to talk about such a long list, so that Virgil can accept the invitation and set off with him in a logical manner.Ha, after getting along for so long, this awkward friend Jiang Ming has figured it out.

Although it was just a guess, Jiang Ming thought that Virgil's decision to take the initiative to participate in such a small matter should have something to do with his own experience.

The sudden disappearance of his father, the death of the mother who maintained the family, and the separation of himself and his brothers since then.With such a past, you will have empathy for the broken family in front of you, and the emergence of empathy and sympathy is indeed a manifestation of this guy's growing humanity.

"Well, I left that lady's phone number, she will contact us in the afternoon, and then we will go to her home to investigate and see if we can find clues to Mr. Yoshida Tsuyoshi's disappearance. Well, speaking of the police force on this planet I always feel that stretching my hips is too much, and this kind of detective work has to be done by a firm..."

Jiang Ming started complaining as he spoke.

The sunlight outside the house shone into the office through the windows, shedding some warm feelings.

Everything seemed to be still in peace. Although there seemed to be a little bit of turmoil, it didn't change the calmness at the moment.

Maybe, just now?

For some reason, Jiang Ming had a vague premonition.

Something is gradually happening, gradually stirring this peaceful city from the deepest, most inconspicuous place, and will eventually erupt, destroying everything, an extremely ominous premonition.

No, maybe it's just an illusion?

Thinking like this, Jiang Ming closed his eyes and filtered those messy thoughts out of his mind.

-

While Jiang Ming was getting ready for the next action, at the same time, on the other side, Kamijo Touma, who had returned from injury and returned to school in the high school of Yunhai City Middle School, walked to the teaching building with his lunch box I ate it under the shade of a tree.

The new semester has just begun, and the boy's face already has a distressed expression.

"Today is really unlucky..."

The boy couldn't help sighing while eating.

As a transfer student, it is difficult to integrate into a new class.It can only be said that fortunately this is not a complete neon middle school, but a mixture of different people, so there is no small circle with neon characteristics.The teenager still made some friends in the new class, for example, a yellow-haired boy wearing colorful clothes and glasses, who claimed to be a magician before a superpower, and now he is an ordinary girl controlling human beings, called soil Yumen guy.Although the mouth is a bit cheap, but still a good friend.

In addition, there are some other interesting people in this class, such as a boy with a sullen and fishy face who has been sitting in the corner, talking about eating soft rice and becoming a house husband in the future.And in the corner on the other side, a long-haired man muttering strange words such as soft body, delicate body and easy to push down.Well, maybe he can be regarded as a hot-tempered squad leader with long purple hair who likes to throw dictionaries at people. I don't know why he looks so cute but has such a rough personality.

Speaking of which, I was unlucky today because of the class monitor, who was obviously throwing a dictionary at the blue-black haired classmate behind me, but for some reason, it hit the boy on the head.Although the squad leader apologized several times very seriously afterwards, Kamijou Touma, who was dizzy, still had a rather bad morning.

"Ah, why did the chopsticks suddenly break..."

Just as he was thinking about his bad luck in the morning, with a sudden click, the boy found that a chopstick in his hand had been broken into two pieces.

It just happened to be a little bit broken, and then it was completely broken today?Unfortunately, it is really unfortunate.

Now the canteen at noon is crowded, and many people will go to buy bento and bread. If you want to crowd the canteen at this time, it is really not a wise idea.Therefore, the young man endured and endured, and finally had no choice but to continue eating bento with half chopsticks.

"Ha, unhappy life?"

Slightly, some sighed, and some missed the luck before.

But if he chooses again, the boy will not regret it.

pat!

"Wow, it fell on the top of the pants! It's all oil, it can't be wiped off at all! Unfortunately, ahhh!!!"

Withdrawing the preface, I still regret it a little bit.

All in all, today's campus life was passed as usual.

Because there were some activities in the school in the afternoon, school was over after only one class, and the teenagers who did not participate in the club chose to go home.On a rare day when he could go home early, he planned to play around with Index, eat some snacks, and of course the most important thing was to go home and change the dirty pants.The trousers of the school uniform are relatively light in color, and after being stained with oil, a large yellow stain can be seen very clearly, which looks very bad.

"Oh, Kamijou, let's go on the same road."

Tsuchimikado greeted him from behind, and walked up to Kamijou Touma.

"Uh-huh."

Nodding his head, Kamijou Touma continued walking forward without thinking too much.

"Speaking of which, Kamijou, you have heard about the recent serial disappearances. I heard that since about ten days ago, the number of disappearances in Yunhai City has increased by a full [-] times."

Tsuchimikado's voice became a little mysterious.

"Well, the police station should be in charge of this matter, I don't know the details."

Kamijou Touma was chatting casually while looking around.

The long-haired boy who seemed to be a lolicon companion passed by Kamijou Touma and Tsuchimikado at this time, and seemed to have heard the serial disappearances they were talking about. The boy's footsteps were slightly slow There was a pause, and it slowed down.

"This news actually came from the junior high school. It seems to be a female student who likes to collect all kinds of urban legends. Her name is Saten or something. Anyway, she is quite famous in the junior high school. She doesn't know which website she found it on. A legend like [It is said that only the marginalized people who are in deep despair and abandoned by the world can hear the music, and those who can hear this sound will disappear and go to a place that no one can know] Such a legend, as a result, this urban legend spread Not long after it came out, there were really mass disappearances.”

"I heard that the police station is quite troubled by these things, and they have already begun to try their best to suppress the impact of the incident. But even so, some discussions still appear in every corner. This city, maybe it is slowly becoming panicked. .”

"Of course, it's just that people are panicking at the moment. Because it is said that a large part of the missing guys really belong to the kind that even if they really die, no one cares about them. It is equivalent to being abandoned by the whole society. Oh, poor fellow."

Tsuchimikado's voice became more and more mysterious.

This guy, why does he have to tell me all these things, he usually can't see that he pays attention to this aspect of things?

Kamijou Touma was a little puzzled.

In order to protect the information of the teenager, in fact, including the incident of defeating the unfinished, all official reports have concealed the existence of Kamijou Touma, and only mentioned the DMC office of Jiang Ming and Virgil.That is to say, for ordinary people, Kamijou Touma is still an unlucky ordinary student, not a hero who saves the world.Kamijou Touma himself didn't mind this, or he didn't do those things for the sake of fame.

However, having said that to this extent, I still want to pay attention to it.

Instinctively, the boy remembered what Tsuchimikado said in his heart, and planned to go to the office to inquire a little later.

"The urban legend you mentioned, what exactly is it?"

Another boy's voice suddenly sounded at this moment.

Kamijou Touma and Tsuchimikado raised their heads at the same time, and looked at the boy standing in front of them, the boy with long hair covering one eye.

At this moment, the young man was staring at the two people in front of him with a very serious and somewhat aloof gaze.

"Urban legend, just like I said at the beginning, a piece of music that can't be heard by ordinary people that will lead people in despair into an unknown world. To be honest, I don't know the more specific content. What's wrong? , This little brother, is he also a little interested and wants to get involved? Want to be friends with us and form a team?"

Tsuchimikado said in a slightly exaggerated voice.

"Making friends makes human beings vulnerable."

In the indifferent voice, the boy rejected Tsuchimikado straightforwardly, even quite rudely.

I still have a little secondary feeling, is it an old nerd or something?

"However, what you said may be useful to me, so thank you."

The boy who said this turned around and left directly.

"I always feel like I need to be beaten, this guy..."

Tsuchimikado rubbed his chin, his voice sounded a little annoyed, but under the black glasses, there was clearly a smile in his sight.

It's just that Kamijou Touma beside him must not have noticed this.

"Could it be that someone you know is missing?"

Kamijou Touma thought about it and continued to walk forward.

"Who knows? Well, my way home will part from here, Kamijou, see you tomorrow."

After walking for a long time, Tsuchimikado, who lives on the other side, separated from Kamijou Touma.

At this moment, the sun is still good, and the warm winter sun makes the body feel warm. The boy continued to walk on the street like this, thinking about the things he heard before.

Then, at this moment, he passed by the gate of a small, even dilapidated community.

"Who cares about that woman with broken shoes? Since I was a child, I have been so flirtatious since I was a child that I seduced my own father and didn't let people say that I put others in prison and lost their jobs. Only you will take care of this kind of garbage. Oh, right, is she going to meet at night? Sleep with you, hahahahaha!"

Harsh laughter sounded from the community at this moment.

The boy turned his head subconsciously.

It's him!

The classmate who stopped to ask them about the urban legend after hearing him talking to Tsuchimikado on the way, and then left at a fairly fast speed.

At this moment, with almost overflowing anger, he stared at a security boy with a swollen face and unshaven beard in front of him.

Chapter 140 Five: An Incomparably Ordinary Afternoon Without Any Accidents

The long-haired boy clenched his fist slightly and looked at the man in front of him.

"Ha, what's the matter, isn't it like this? Who in this neighborhood doesn't know what kind of a woman that woman is, and you are the only one who commits a bitch—"
