Zongman: Beginning and Snow under the Rain Escape from Raccoon City

Ye Hai asked.

Ayaka Kamisato stopped, pondered for a moment, and finally pointed to the Ferris wheel in the distance.

"……that."

Her voice wasn't loud, but her eyes were exceptionally serious.

Ye Hai smiled: "You chose the Ferris wheel for your first time?"

"because……"

Ayaka Kamisato lowered her eyes and said softly, "I heard that's a place lovers go together."

Ye Hai didn't say anything more, and just bought two tickets at the ticket window.

The Ferris wheel cabins slowly rose into the air.

The surrounding noise was gradually left behind, and the world quieted down.

Ayaka Kamisato sat opposite her, her hands folded on her knees, her skirt neatly spread out.

The elevator car swayed gently, and she tensed up slightly, her fingers gripping the 5.0 a little tighter.

Ye Hai, observing this, chuckled and asked, "Afraid of heights?"

Ayaka Kamisato shook her head, but her voice was very low: "It's not that I'm afraid... it's just that it's my first time."

"Then let's look outside."

Ye Hai pointed out the window.

She followed the gaze.

The amusement park gradually shrank beneath our feet, the neon lights and LED strips resembling an unfolded canvas.

Further away, the traffic on the streets is stretched into a river of light, as if the entire city is being held in the palm of one's hand.

"……What a nice view."

Ayaka Kamisato's eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes reflecting the night scene.

The elevator car continued to rise.

Her attention slowly shifted from outside the window to Ye Hai.

"Ye Hai".

She called his name softly.

"Ok?"

"Back in Inazuma, I never imagined that one day... I would see such a view with you."

Chapter 178 Hachiman Hikigaya and Conan

Dr. Agasa's house.

The wind was still quite cool in late autumn, so Professor Agasa didn't turn on the air conditioner and let the autumn wind carry the fallen leaves into the house.

On the living room table, there were piles of parts that the doctor had recently tinkered with, with wires and batteries scattered haphazardly.

Conan Edogawa was huddled in the corner of the sofa, staring at a circuit board on the table, his brows slightly furrowed.

He wasn't thinking about circuits, of course; he was calculating the recent situation.

"Shinichi, would you like a Coke?"

Professor Agasa peeked out from the kitchen, holding a glass bottle bubbling away.

"No need yet."

Conan subconsciously shook his head.

Just then, there was a rapid knocking on the door.

"Doctor! Are you there?"

It's Ran Mouri's voice.

Conan's heart tightened, and he instinctively rolled over and hid behind the sofa.

Professor Agasa hurriedly went to greet her and opened the door: "Ran, what brings you here at this hour?"

"PhD……"

Ran Mouri looked somewhat anxious, exhaling a puff of white mist that dispersed in the autumn wind. She peered into the house behind the professor: "I'd like to ask, have you seen Shinichi recently?"

Conan held his breath.

Just as she finished speaking, she seemed to catch a glimpse of a small figure flashing past the corner of the sofa out of the corner of her eye.

It looks somewhat familiar.

But when she looked again with focused attention, she found nothing.

"Strange...just now..."

She murmured, her brows furrowing slightly.

"No, Kudo hasn't been here in a long time."

Dr. Agasa scratched his head awkwardly and smiled apologetically, his voice sounding a little unnatural.

Ran Mouri hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "Is that so... I'm sorry to bother you, Doctor."

She turned and went down the steps, the wind blowing her long hair, and disappeared at the street corner.

Conan finally let out a long breath, and cold sweat had appeared on his forehead without him noticing.

But just as he was about to stretch his body, he suddenly felt dizzy.

Before he could utter a sound, the light in front of him suddenly folded, and his figure vanished from the sofa in an instant.

Professor Agasa turned around abruptly, only to see the air tremble slightly; Conan had already vanished.

……

Meanwhile, far to the north, on the four islands, the sea wind howled. The trees there had long since lost their leaves, and the branches rubbed against each other in the wind, making a piercing sound.

Hachiman Hikigaya trudged through the thick layer of fallen leaves, searching along the abandoned factory district.

His trench coat fluttered in the wind, and he gripped a short-handled dagger he had bought at a tool shop.

As a human being, even though he already possessed vampire blood, he still preferred to use tools.

Hachiman Hikigaya had been chasing Ichiro Tanaka for a long time, but he always fell just short and never caught up.

"Damn it, it got away again..."

He gritted his teeth in the wind.

His eyes were bloodshot; the continuous search had left him physically and mentally exhausted.

But at that moment, the surrounding space trembled slightly.

The sound of the wind in Hachiman Hikigaya's ears suddenly disappeared, leaving only a ringing-like emptiness.

"...Damn it, is there no time left?"

He subconsciously muttered a curse.

The rest period between missions is fifteen days.

When the time comes, they will be forcibly summoned by the main god.

The next moment, the world before his eyes shattered like glass, and a surging white mist completely swallowed his figure.

……

When Conan opened his eyes, he was in front of an unfamiliar street.

The sky was grayish-white, and the fog was unusually thick, with visibility less than twenty meters.

The air was cold, carrying a faint smell of rust, like a mixture of blood and dampness.

The streetlights stood at the intersection, their dim yellow bulbs flickering a few times before barely illuminating the scene.

He steadied himself before noticing the road sign at his feet.

It was a mottled, rusty iron plaque, the writing on which was still barely legible:

"Welcome to Silent Hill"

Conan's eyelids twitched suddenly.

Even though he had witnessed countless bizarre cases, he felt a sense of unease rising from the bottom of his heart.

He was staring down at the sign when he heard footsteps behind him.

Conan Edogawa turned around abruptly and saw a young man wearing a trench coat with a cool and aloof expression.

Hachiman Hikigaya also stopped, his brows furrowed.

He had clearly just noticed the unfamiliar, short figure.

The two looked at each other, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment in the mist.

Conan's heart tightened, and he instinctively adopted a cautious expression: "Who are you?"

"Hikigaya Hachiman."

Hachiman Hikigaya's voice was deep and a little hoarse.

"My name is Conan Edogawa."

Even after the names were announced, neither of them relaxed.

Hachiman Hikigaya knew very well that this was a new mission in the Main God Space, and he and the child in front of him were likely teammates.

Although the child's eyes were too calm, unlike those of an ordinary child.

But the main god actually gave him a little kid as a teammate, isn't that a bit too much?

Conan's mind was racing as well.

He was a little confused about the current situation.

The fog in Silent Hill grew thicker, and the distant sound of unknown chains scraping could be heard, as if something was awakening.

Hachiman Hikigaya looked up into the distance, then looked down at Conan Edogawa and said, "Recall the extra information in your mind."

As their gazes gradually met amidst the fog of Silent Hill, another scene was unfolding on the Northern Islands, far away in the real world.

Komachi Hikigaya, dragging a not-too-heavy suitcase, had just disembarked from the ferry.

……

The late autumn sea breeze rushed towards her face, and she pulled her scarf up, the white mist she exhaled was quickly blown away.

"It's so cold..."

Hikigaya Komachi whispered. 000

The phone screen is lit up; it's a location tracking app.

She had been following the location signal all the way here—her brother's signal had been stuck here for a long time.

"Why isn't my brother replying to my messages again?"

She frowned and tapped her finger on the screen.

But the next second, the previously clear location point suddenly flickered, and then the entire icon disappeared completely.

Hikigaya Komachi stood there, stunned. She quickly refreshed the page, but it wouldn't load.

"Was it... taken away by the Main God Space?"

Komachi Hikigaya thought about it and it seemed like this was the most likely possibility.

The time is almost up.
