I will never give in to Miss Death

Just like in the dream.

The poor little devil was defeated and injured. He huddled in a dark corner, motionless, occasionally licking his wounds with his little tongue.

Of course, this is all just made up.

I really don't have any memory of my "previous life" at all.

The worst outcome now is... that little devil who refused to listen died in the battle with the devil.

But no matter what the result is, I'd better go to that place according to the information on my ID card.

There's only so much I can do.

"Rumble--"

As the taxi headed toward Minaminagi District in Kamihama City, dark clouds began to rage overhead.

The already heavy rain became even more unbridled, falling on the roof of the taxi like hail. Along with the sound of rain washing the city, rumbling thunder continued to be heard in the distance, and lightning flashed across the sky from time to time.

The sky, which was originally bright, became dark because of the layers of dark clouds. Looking out from the car, it felt like it was almost night.

"Little sister, bring more clothes when you go on a long trip."

Perhaps because he saw through the rearview mirror that I was only wearing a T-shirt and denim shorts, the driver in front of me said in a somewhat kind tone: "Or put on a coat, otherwise you will easily catch a cold."

I thought so too. It’s because there are no suitable clothes at home.

Seeing that I was putting on an expression that said "accept criticism with an open mind", the driver sighed softly and turned on the radio-like thing next to him with a "click" sound.

"Now I'm reporting a notice: Friends in Kamihama City, please take note. An hour ago, an unknown wildfire and explosion occurred inside Wanghai Park in Minami-nagi District. The police have currently blocked off the area."

"I repeat, the roads around Wanghai Park are currently blocked..."

"..."

No. 068 Fireworks

Half an hour later, the taxi took me to the vicinity of Wanghai Park in Minaminagi District, Kamihama City.

The gloomy sky was still raining stormy weather.

Not far away, there were bursts of thunder and lightning, and thick black clouds were pressing down from the sky, as if they wanted to cover the entire city.

“It seems that we are not allowed to enter the park anymore.”

Near Wanghai Park, the driver looked at the cordon in front of him through the taxi window with the wipers constantly shaking, and said with some doubt: "Little sister, are you sure you are really meeting your relatives here?"

He seems to be a kind-hearted driver...

"Wait a minute, I'll ask them."

I used the rearview mirror to calmly glance at the driver in the cab, then pretended to take out my mobile phone, swiped the screen, and opened WeChat.

[Why is it raining so hard? I haven’t collected my clothes yet]

[I didn’t hear the news broadcast saying there was a typhoon recently. What’s going on? ]

[Housekeeper! @蜗居公寓一楼总管 My computer has no internet connection, report it for repair! ]

Perhaps in the driver's eyes, I was contacting so-called "relatives" while sitting in the back car. However, I actually just opened the WeChat group of the small apartment, took a look at the information in the group, then casually swiped the screen of my mobile phone, typed a few words and deleted them.

Then I moved to the window next to me, rolled down the window, and took a general look at the surrounding environment.

"The breakfast shop over there."

Pointing to a breakfast shop next to the park that seemed to sell steamed dumplings and steamed buns, I said in a slightly anxious tone, "Just stop there."

"Row."

The driver turned the steering wheel and the car drove towards the breakfast shop, and soon stopped in front of the shop.

"is it here?"

"Yes."

I put on a "happy" look, took out my phone and pointed it at the payment code in the front row: "How much?"

"32 dollars."

The driver glanced at the people eating in the breakfast shop and said, "It's raining heavily outside, be careful."

"OK, thanks."

After paying, I showed the driver my phone screen and said, "Scan it!"

"Ah."

The driver was obviously still a little skeptical, but he probably felt that taking me to the breakfast shop was much safer than taking me to Wanghai Park, so the guarded expression on his face relaxed a lot.

I opened the car door with a click, opened my umbrella, and walked carefully towards the breakfast shop on the ground which was already nearly a centimeter deep in water.

Fortunately, the pair of thick-soled white shoes I bought have the effect of increasing height, and there is a layer of cushion at the bottom, otherwise the rain would have seeped in by now...

"Good morning!"

When I was less than three meters away from the breakfast shop, I pretended to be an acquaintance and walked to the table of a mother and daughter, then waved to the waiter: "One serving of dumplings, one cup of soy milk, thank you."

I turned to the mother and daughter beside me and said, "Auntie, may I ask, do you know why Wanghai Park is closed?"

I did all this mainly to show off to the driver behind me.

From the moment he got in the car, he had been wondering if I had been cheated or was about to do something stupid, and he was extremely nervous.

In real life, there are indeed a small number of drivers who are of that kind... with evil intentions, or who are easily tempted by beauty, have vulgar thoughts, and always want to do bad things. Especially when they see a little girl like me, their brains short-circuit and their thinking ability is controlled by their lower body. Such situations do exist, but I believe that there are more normal people in this world.

At least the taxi driver who brought me here looked scary when he accepted the order, or rather... he seemed even more scared than I was.

Because our country's laws are not perfect so far, some judgments are outrageous. For example, a thief broke into a house and was frightened by the homeowner, so he fell and died. The homeowner was sentenced to pay hundreds of thousands of yuan to the thief's family. For example, someone saw that the "vegetables" grown by his neighbor were delicious, so he stole a lot of them without permission and cooked them at home, causing food poisoning. He then turned the tables and sued his neighbor... Similar cases are everywhere, which makes people have to be vigilant.

So, under normal circumstances, it would be hard for an ordinary taxi driver not to think too much when he sees a little girl like me who looks no more than 12 years old getting in the car on a rainy day, and the destination is a deserted park in Minaminagi District.

In history, there was a case where a taxi driver carried a suicidal passenger without noticing and drove the passenger onto a bridge. The passenger got off the car and jumped into a river and died. The driver was ordered to compensate the passenger's family.

The taxi companies in Kamihama City have regulations that all taxis are not allowed to refuse passengers during normal operating hours. If they are refused, passengers have the right to complain. Coincidentally, there is another regulation: children under 8 years old and under 130 cm in height are not allowed to ride in taxis alone. I am 1 meters tall, which exceeds the category of "children" in the regulations.

No matter I was cheated by netizens or I was desperate to commit suicide, as long as it happened after I took the taxi, the driver should bear joint liability - if I were the driver, I would also get to the bottom of it like this, at least to make sure that the "little sister" I was carrying was surrounded by adults who did not look like bad people after arriving at the destination.

"Is Wanghai Park closed? I don't know!"

Because I looked very harmless, the mother in front of me looked at the heavy rain outside with some curiosity and said: "I came here to play with my children during the holidays. I didn't expect it to rain so heavily, so I came here to take shelter from the rain."

"Oh, so that's how it is."

I took the soy milk handed to me by the waiter and glanced at the taxi I had just taken with the corner of my eye without making any expression.

Sure enough, after making sure that there were adults watching around me, the driver quickly backed up a few dozen meters, turned the wheel, and disappeared in the heavy rain.

"It's a rare holiday recently, and it's raining so hard."

The middle-aged woman in front of me was actually talked about by me. While helping her three or four-year-old daughter to pick up the meat filling in the soup dumplings, she sighed: "It was still drizzling yesterday, but it was already so heavy this morning. I should have known not to come out."

I responded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."

I glanced at the time on my phone. It was 8:30 in the morning.

Now I have arrived at the place recorded on my ID card, "No. 3, Wanghai Road, Minaminagi District, Kamihama City". The place that was supposed to be a residential area has been changed into Wanghai Park. Many of the surrounding shops are brand new and there are very few customers. Wanghai Park has been closed for unknown reasons.

Where should I go to find someone?

Or...is the Grim Reaper really in a place like this?

If so, how can I find her?

What if she really encounters danger, or fights with the so-called devil, what can I do now?

Listening to the sound of heavy rain outside the breakfast shop, for some reason the line "I can't do anything" came to my mind.

Yes, the world has always been like this.

An ordinary, lonely, and conventional world.

"Hello, here are the dumplings you ordered."

At this time, the waiter came over with a small tray.

I also glanced at the quotation sheet next to me, raised my phone, tapped the store's payment code, and paid.

"Please enjoy."

The waiter placed the dumplings on my table.

"..."

It's still raining outside.

The city was wet, the sky was wet.

"boom--"

Suddenly, accompanied by a dull roar, the originally gloomy sky was suddenly illuminated by a strange red flame.

"what's the situation?"

The mother with her child nearby curiously poked her head out of the store and looked up: "What is that? A flare?"

Flare?

I quickly grabbed an umbrella and hurriedly walked out holding it up.

As I watched, a fireball emitting dazzling red light was slowly rising from the depths of Wanghai Park in front of me, swaying and emitting faint light in the surroundings.

On the dark and gloomy horizon, this flare-like object was like a moth flying towards a flame, burning its own life, desperately whistling towards the dark clouds at the top, pushing away the fog and rain, and tearing apart the darkness.

[Take this with you. If you encounter danger again and want to hide, light this up...]

At this moment, the words that I once said in the dream emerged in my mind again -

【I will find you no matter where you are. 】

I will find you no matter where...

At this moment, I felt as if my heart was being tightly grasped by something. Almost subconsciously, I dropped the umbrella in my hand and ran towards the direction where the fireball was rising.

"Hey, little sister, it's raining so hard outside, you... Hey!"

I don't know if it was the mother or the waiter who shouted something at me from behind, but I couldn't hear anything.

I quickly crossed the large open space in front of the breakfast shop, jumped over the cordon, climbed over the unattended guardrail, and ran into the park ahead.

Just think of it as my endless desire to explore as an author.

In the heavy rain, I looked at the faint red fire in front of me and thought silently in my heart.

Where?Where?

"..."

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve become a little girl and have a problem with my sense of distance, or if my physical strength is still very poor, but after running into the park alone in the heavy rain, I still felt that I was very far away from the place where the flares were launched, and I could only run desperately towards the place where the light was coming.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoosh..."

The slightly cold rain kept splashing on my head, completely soaking the girl's beautiful hair.

Some of the hair stuck to the back, while others swayed slightly in the breeze caused by running.

The flames in the air ahead flickered in the heavy rain, climbing up little by little.

Just like every one of us ordinary human beings, holding back tears, gritting teeth, heading towards the only place where we can see light, burning ourselves, sinking into the darkness little by little.

"..."

[You are still the same as before, you like to hide in a corner and stare blankly after being hurt]

[This is a bad habit of the demons. Demons are not good at trusting others, and when they are injured is when they are most vulnerable, so they have to hide and lick their wounds alone like a wounded kitten.]

If it were her...

I ran as fast as I could across the cobblestones of the park.

The rain soaked the destroyer hat on his head, the T-shirt and shorts on his body, seeped into his underwear, and took away the temperature on the surface of his skin.

A palpable chill spread from all parts of my body.

The new shoes I bought two days ago splashed water as they stepped on the road which was full of rain.
