"Is that so?" Uncle Chuanping replied inexplicably, and raised his chin, "I'll give you the chain on the table. If you don't want to expose the ring, use it to seal it."

I subconsciously looked at the coffee table in front of me, and there were indeed two short chains on the side of the teacup, without any decoration, so common that they even looked rough.

Why seal the ring?

I silently put the chain into my pocket and didn't ask further.

I'll always know later.

Since I was going back to school on Monday, I went to Yokohama early the next morning.

Chinatown is still full of tourists for many years. I walked around in it, but I couldn't find any information house that sells steamed stuffed buns every day.In desperation, I had no choice but to ask the people around me, but I learned that no one had seen him in the past few days.

"Maybe go back to China."

This is the final conclusion given to me by the nearby store.

I couldn’t find any more useful information until noon, so I went back to Bingsheng dejectedly and told Uncle Chuanping about it. He had just received a takeaway from Yiping and was eating ramen noodles. After a long while, he suddenly looked up and looked outside. In the cloudless clear sky, he said to himself, "A storm is coming."

I didn't fully understand the meaning of this sentence until a month later.

In mid-July, our professional exams were finally over, and I went to Sicily as agreed with Toh before. When Bai Lan found out about it, she enthusiastically expressed that she would let Toh pick me up at the airport.

"I promise to see Ozu as soon as I get off the plane~"

It's all cheating me! ! !

In fact, two hours have passed since I landed. I took the bus from the airport in the suburbs to the Central Railway Station by myself, but I haven’t received a contact call yet.

After waiting at the train station for another half an hour, I couldn't stay any longer, so I walked out of the train station alone under the Sicilian July sun.

According to the map, after exiting the station, turn right to the sea.I walked along this road. There are very common shops on both sides of the dual carriageway, and there are tables and chairs in small coffee shops under the shade of trees.It was scorching hot under the sun, and the place where the sun was not shining was extraordinarily cool due to the sea breeze blowing by.

However, before seeing the coast, the first thing that caught my attention was a botanical garden.

In fact, when I looked from the outside, I thought it was just a university until I found the entrance on the side of the main entrance.

As soon as I entered it, there were introductions of various flowers and plants, as well as many specimens and seasonal flowers. There was a historical description in front of the ticket office, and I realized that this was originally the Palermo Botanical Garden.

The uncle sitting behind the ticket window wore a pair of presbyopic glasses and could not speak English. He pointed to the numbers on the window and repeated the fare in Italian with me.

Fortunately, I have been able to master the pronunciation of numbers in Italian over the years, and I finally bought the ticket smoothly.

Unlike the scorching streets, the botanical garden is cool and refreshing, and there is even a little bit of coolness under the shadow of the trees.I didn't have any particular destination, so I wandered slowly following the guide map.

There are not many tourists in the park. Most of the time, I am the only one on the whole road, and I will see other people passing by after a while.After walking a long road, a forest finally appeared in front of my eyes.The trees are undulating, probably a small mound, and an oriental pavilion can be vaguely seen on the top.

It seems that this is the oriental garden mentioned in the guide.In fact, there are many types of oriental gardens, and the Japanese style and Chinese style are completely different.The layout here is more Chinese-style, with a narrow stone step leading from the bottom to the highest octagonal pavilion.

I climbed up the stairs carefully, and there was a big banyan tree besides the octagonal pavilion on the top.It can be seen that this tree is very old, and the aerial roots hanging from the branches stand densely on the ground, like a small jungle.Near the main trunk, there is another place similar to a hole. If you look closely, it looks like it is open on the tree trunk. It is so dark that you can’t see it clearly, but it seems that there is something nested in the shadows. The black is covered with black, almost blending .

It can't be a black cat, can it? .

Curious, I got out of the pavilion and slowly moved over.There was no road on the muddy ground, and it was very difficult to walk. I carefully stepped over the roots on the ground, avoiding the upright air roots, and finally came to the front of the cave.

Sure enough, there was a black shadow inside, but at first glance, it didn't seem like a small animal?

Just as this thought surfaced, a strange atmosphere suddenly struck, and the next second, a yellow light whizzed across his cheek.

The broken hair fluttered down after the rapid airflow, and there was a sharp pain on the skin.I froze in place, took out the dart and held it tightly in my palm, not daring to move.

It was already very close, and from this angle, one could see the shape of a black shadow, a small mass, more like a baby than a child, but the top of the head was vaguely in the shape of a hat.

Would a baby be in a place like this?

I was startled suddenly, and an incredible thought appeared in my mind.

"Reborn?"

"Akutagawa?"

The voice inside sounded almost at the same time as me. Although the soft but not angry child's voice hadn't appeared for a long time, I recognized it immediately: "It really is you!"

I immediately fell to the entrance of the cave. In the dark tree cave, a little baby in a black suit leaned against the cave wall, pushed the brim of the hat with the green gun in his hand, and even showed an unruly smile: "I didn't expect to be here Meet you here."

I opened my mouth, but when I saw his appearance clearly, I couldn't utter a word.

His body was full of injuries, and the black suit was so tattered that no one spot was intact. Even if there was blood, it was probably absorbed by the rich black and could not be distinguished.The corner of his mouth was also stained with blood, his body looked very weak, and his big black eyes showed fatigue that he had never seen before.

I quickly reached out, trying to hug him out, but he blocked it with a gun: "No need."

"You've become like this! I'll take you to the hospital!" I was so anxious that I didn't know what to say, "Or should I help you contact Mr. Gangji? Or there are enemies nearby and you can't go out?"

The corner of Reborn's mouth twitched, but he coughed before speaking.This was like an omen, coughing one after another gushed out of his mouth with blood froth, making him unable to even utter a complete sentence.

I knelt on the side at a loss, and I didn't know where he was hurt, so I didn't dare to move casually, so I could only wipe off the blood on his mouth with a handkerchief: "What happened? You look very hurt Seriously, I still need treatment first..."

But Reborn interrupted me directly: "Compared to this, I ask you if I have something to do."

I held my breath unconsciously, and nodded solemnly: "Okay."

The little baby in front of him finally stopped coughing, or rather choked it.He took a deep breath, and subconsciously held the yellow pacifier on his chest with his empty hand: "I can't last long, you help me keep this pacifier, and don't let it fall into Bai Lan's hands anyway."

"Eh?!"

Prynne? !

why? !

"What do you mean it won't last long?!"

My eyes widened in shock, and my mind was confused for a moment, "Stop saying that kind of thing! Tsuna Ji-kun still needs you!"

"It's so noisy." Reborn pointed the gun at me suddenly, showing impatience for the first time, "In a word, are you going to answer...cough cough! Do you accept it?"

I was frightened by his appearance, and nodded vigorously: "I agree!"

"Yes, that's fine."

As if he finally breathed a sigh of relief, Reborn's body slowly softened.He was lying at the bottom of the cave, but his eyes looked straight up, wondering if he had seen the top of the tree trunk and the sky farther away.

He frowned slightly, and a worried smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It's really nerve-wracking."

At this moment, what did he see?

There was a rare tenderness in those black eyes, but they were also rapidly losing their luster.When the light was about to completely recede, he took off the pacifier with his last strength, put it in my palm and held it firmly: "I leave it to you."

no!Can't!

If you really die, there will be no room for change between Bai Lan and Gang Ji!

I held his hand vigorously, but the little baby in front of me still closed its eyes, and its body remained in the last position, cooling down slowly.

I knelt beside him motionless, feeling the hand that was holding my fist stiffen.

I was terrified, panicked, and beyond that just terribly sad.

Why did such a thing happen! ?

Why is it Bai Lan? !

I closed my eyes and felt a splitting headache. Tears dripped down on the back of my hands, carrying a weak body temperature.

"Yes, I will take good care of this pacifier, Mr. Reborn."

There will always be unsolvable problems in this world, just like there will always be helpless things.

Is there any way out before me?

I temporarily sealed the hole with the branches and leaves I picked up around, to ensure that no one would find it in a short time, and then left the botanical garden with the pacifier.

Not long after that, the phone finally rang, but the name on the caller ID was not Tou, but an unfamiliar number.But few people knew my number in Italy, so I picked it up anyway: "Hello?"

"Ah, Tsuna?" A steady male voice came from the other end, and it turned out to be Mr. Masaichi, "I'm sorry Toru seems to be unable to leave for a while, I'll go pick you up now, can you tell me where you are?"

I looked up and looked around, only to realize that I had already walked out of the botanical garden. In front of me was the endlessly flowing road, and at the other end of the road was an endless ocean.

"Eh? It's by the sea, where exactly is it? You can see a lot of yachts
