I, Zhongli, wander the world

The sudden explosion caused all the tourists who had barely calmed down to panic, and some people tried to arrest the criminals after hearing the words of Ayatsuji pedestrians. This made the man who was running away panicked even more, and tripped over a corner of the upturned floor tiles on the flat ground. fall.

The timid tourists next to them immediately hid back and knocked down the decorative shelf on the side of the road in a panic.The low shelf slammed into the mascot sculpture on the side with a "bang", and the huge mascot that should have been firmly fixed on the ground shook slightly, and slowly fell towards the man who fell to the ground.

The tourists screamed and avoided, and Ayatsuji pedestrians stared at this scene with wide-eyed eyes, forcing their gazes to stay fixed, as if they wanted to engrave the imminent death in their hearts.

Those were the people "killed" by him, and of course he would remember them.

A stray cat, whose sleep was disturbed, ran past with furry fur. In a panic, it bumped into a small cart selling cold drinks parked on the side of the road, knocking away the stones that were stuck on the wheels.The small cart rolled on the slightly sloping road, and was hit by some panicked tourist. It accelerated almost instantly, and rushed towards the fallen sculpture.

With a loud "bang", the slowly falling sculpture was deflected at a subtle angle, and finally hit the man's legs hard.

"what--!"

The man whose legs were crushed let out a miserable scream.

Bright red blood flowed wantonly on the ground, and the man struggled to push the sculpture away, but it was all in vain.

But he didn't die after all.

Ayatsuji Pedestrian stared blankly at the wailing man, almost forgetting where he was.

"Sensing that the jade was triggered, I rushed back immediately. I didn't expect such a mess to happen."

A familiar voice sounded from behind, and Ayatsuji Pedestrian subconsciously turned his head to look, and watched the man with a long spear come to stand beside him, leaned over and said, "Do you still have the strength to stand up?"

"...I'm not so useless." Ayatsuji pedestrian wiped the water stains on his face, stood up on his knees, and took out the jade from his pocket.

The jade tentacles are still warm and moist, but the original bright red has dimmed a little for no reason, obviously it can't match Misaki Ming's eyes.

"Ah, Misaki..."

"Are you looking for her?"

The doll in the shape of a girl was handed over to her eyes. The beautiful skirt was unsurprisingly stained with dirt, but the weak torso was miraculously undamaged. The red eyes that were not covered by the blindfold watched quietly. own master.

Ayatsuji pedestrians silently reached out and took the girl doll.

"A very beautiful child." Zhongli praised fairly, "Just be careful, don't throw it away in the future."

If it was an ordinary person who praised Naruto Misaki, Ayatsuji pedestrians would still be polite and happy, but at this time he was not in the mood at all.

"...Thank you for your help, Mr. Zhongli. But I don't understand." He took a deep breath, "Why did you help me?"

He was just an ordinary person who traveled around because of his supernatural powers, and he had never met him before.Ayatsuji pedestrians don't think Zhongli is like the kind of person who meddles in his own business just out of cheap pity.

Zhong Li took a look at the blond-haired young man, "I have nothing to do, I just do what I want, what reason do I need?"

He has always followed his will in doing things, and he only seeks to understand his thoughts, so there are so many "whys".

After hearing what Zhongli meant, Ayatsuji Pedestrian didn't know what to say for a moment.

This kind of attitude that does not ask common sense but only seeks the cause and effect in the heart, and even does not even say hello after making a judgment... To some extent, it can be called "arrogance".

It's just...not annoying.

After all, the other party even took into consideration how he would react afterwards.

Ayatsuji pedestrian sighed in frustration, then laughed helplessly, "How could there be someone like you."

"There are always things in this world that you have never seen before." Zhong Li smiled lightly, and then turned to look at the end of the road, where Fitzgerald, who also returned, was walking towards this side.

"Your ability is too special, and the jade can't last many times, but the amount of one game is still affordable." He said, "This time, do you want to try it?"

After the three teenagers handed over the mastermind to the police, the alarm on the amusement park was finally lifted.

The prisoner's hideout was just not far from the Ferris wheel. Edogawa Ranbu took the customs clearance medal hidden in the designated box of the Ferris wheel, and completed the competition calmly while arresting the prisoner.

The cameraman who had been running around behind the young detective was almost exhausted, but Fitzgerald was very happy that the ratings were guaranteed this time, and he gave him a lot of salary with a big wave of his hand.

After the routine exaggeration, Zhongli asked the three children to go back to their residence first, and he and Fitzgerald came to the police station together.

Under Fitzgerald's money offensive, the police station's work efficiency was surprisingly high. After working overtime until it was dark, all the masterminds were interrogated and sent to Fitzgerald along with the previous files.

"A group of habitual thieves just ransacked a jewelry store a few days ago, and were wanted because of the huge amount. Some time ago, they ran to hide in a deserted forest for a few days, and they were already planning to go abroad..." Fitzgerald looked. Started the information in hand, frowned slightly, "It's a bit strange..."

Zhongli clicked on the words in the information, "The leader explained that this action was all out of anger and wanted to create trouble with the local police. It seems reasonable, but it cannot withstand careful scrutiny."

"When a person makes a plan or decision, it is already a tormenting process." He said slowly, "During this process, his heart will weigh the gains and losses of various actions, and think about how to act. It is what I need most, once a decision is made, it means that the balance in my heart is broken, and it will not be changed easily."

"Especially in such a life-and-death matter."

Fitzgerald snorted unhappily, "Are they suddenly bewitched?"

"Bewitched..." Zhong Li thought about it, and suddenly said, "Tomorrow, I will go to investigate those people's hiding places first, and don't mention the details of the case to them for now."

Fitzgerald said "ok", "Of course the detective must play well, and I will help you take care of your boys."

So, at the match scene the next day, Poe, who had made up his mind to come up to say hello, successfully saw the stern-faced Edogawa Ranpo.

"Edogawa...what's the matter with you?" Poe swallowed and whispered.

"Don't let me deduce who that guy is." Edogawa said in a low voice, "Otherwise, I'll ask Mr. Juzi to give him a good look."

"Ah... eh?"

"The reason why Mr. Zhongli didn't tell you is because he didn't want you to be put in danger. Don't let him down." Someone next to him said so.

Edgar Allan Poe, who had just noticed this person, took a step back in fright, "You, you, you, you are not that..."

"Explanation." Ayatsuji pedestrians kindly helped him finish the sentence, "Yesterday I promised your team leader to participate in the detective competition. In principle, it is not allowed, but since the brains of those contestants are as bad as rust , I still successfully entered the second level."

He was too late to solve the problem and was at an absolute disadvantage. According to Fitzgerald, "Even if such a person enters the next level, it will not affect the ratings." How much has been improved".

It can be said to be quite a capitalist's speech.

"Anyway, I must be the one who won the championship in the end." Edogawa said angrily, "Even if you were invited by Mr. Zhongli, it's useless!"

"Oh, I have a lot of the same self-confidence." Ayatsuji pedestrian helped the doll in his arms to adjust the clothes, and said calmly.

Edgar Allan Poe looked left and right, and said in a soft but firm tone, "I won't lose either."

The three seeded contestants each issued a declaration of victory. Fitzgerald, who was watching the video in the background, was overjoyed, and commanded to the communicator with his wife's tolerant eyes: "Quickly save this! When I want to officially broadcast There can be no editing!"

Zhong Yuanzhong also complained in a low voice: "Sometimes I think Mr. Fitzgerald is quite scary."

On the side, Osamu Dazai, who was so bored that he coaxed the little girl Scott to play finger-guessing, sneered and didn't comment on it.

The scene of the game was "happy", and on the other side, Zhongli also came to the deeper mountains.

He had already searched the hiding places that those people had told him before, but found nothing, but found a little blood when he followed the traces of life to go deeper.

The blood that had been oxidized to black was stained on the growth rings of the tree stump. At first glance, it looked like a dark spot that had grown on the tree stump. Some stones were piled up at the root, bending several weeds.

Zhong Li carefully checked the distribution of those blood spots, and found that more blood dripped on the wider growth rings.

He walked to the river not far away, and walked upstream along the river.

There was a sudden smell of blood in the air.

At the beginning, there was only a hint of it, which was not obvious mixed with the rich water vapor from the river.As the distance shortened, the smell of blood gradually became stronger, and finally overwhelmed all other smells, rushing into the nostrils.

It's already to the point that no matter who smells it, they can only sigh "how many people died".

Zhongli's complexion didn't change much, but his eyes had already darkened.

He finally arrived at his destination.

It was an indigenous tribe hidden deep in the jungle.

A tribe with no living people left.

Lying corpses were everywhere, and it could be seen from their posture that they had killed each other.The cold weapon cut the body into a bloody mess. The blood spilled all over the ground and soaked into the soil. The whole land exuded a disgusting rusty smell.

Zhongli stepped on the blood and walked towards the depths of the tribe step by step.

Bypassing the simple living area in front, there is a small altar used for sacrifices at the rear. More people fought to death under the altar. Judging from the decorations on their bodies, there are many high-ranking and powerful people in the tribe.The altar, on the other hand, was as clean as a stark contrast. There was only one dead body kneeling in the middle of the altar. Judging from the decorations on its body, it seemed that it was serving as a sacrificial priest in the tribe.

His blood stained the stone altar red, but suddenly a clean area was wiped out in front of him, a line of bloody words was scribbled on it, like a child's random scribbles.

It was a line of sacrificial text written in an indigenous language.

"To the great god".
