"……what?"
Then, Uesugi Nobuyuki dropped another bombshell: "As far as I can remember, I never had any friends of the same age during the time I spent in Kawayama County. I remember Xiao Wei, and I remember my grandparents. I am sure my memory is logically smooth and flawless."
"But in my memory, there is nothing related to you. I only heard your name some time ago."
He told this matter to Rena Asakura in the most frank manner. This matter was full of weirdness. If he kept hiding it, he would be doomed. He was still struggling on how to explain it clearly to this girl.
"We must have encountered something. I may not understand it in the past, but now I can fully understand it all."
Asakura Rena's eyes focused, and she noticed that a long sword with a black scabbard was hanging on Uesugi Nobuyuki's waist. When did he take out the knife? What preparations did he make?
Uesugi Nobu was anxious, but also wanted to make things clear. He dragged the dazed Rena Asakura towards Kawayama County, passing the rice fields, away from the flower fields, and walking along the main road, while he checked the details in their memories with Rena.
“There used to be a big locust tree here.”
"I know. I came here with Xiao Wei in my arms."
"You and I have been here before. You climbed up and fell down..."
"I did fall down, leaving a scar on my knee, which took a long time to disappear...but the only thing I remember is Xiao Wei. I was in so much pain that I couldn't walk, and Xiao Wei started crying, attracting the adults over."
wrong.
Xiao Wei was crying, but there was no one on the roadside at that time.
I was the one who ran to the roadside and shouted. I still remember that uncle wearing a straw hat. He was a very nice man and helped me carry you home.
Rena Asakura suddenly felt scared, and a strong sense of panic came over her. He described the facts he knew in a light-hearted manner, but her life in the past few years was about to fall apart in his voice.
They walked for a long time, stopping and starting many times, so it took them even longer.
17: 11.
dusk.
The streets were quiet. In the distance, farmers returning home could be vaguely seen; but they were too far away to look real, like dark ghost shadows.
The dusk near the mountains seems cold under the blowing mountain breeze.
The afterglow of the setting sun casts itself on the deserted road, like faded paint on an old canvas, neither bright nor moving.
The air was filled with the scent of grass and earth mixed together, with a depressing dampness. I took a deep breath into my lungs and it was surprisingly dull.
Uesugi Shin brought Asakura Rena to his house and opened the warehouse. He saw various girlish stickers on the rusty sky blue bicycle. He took out a sunflower origami from the basket and showed it to Asakura Rena.
"This is your car, and the origami is a gift from me."
"It was you who gave it to me, but I can't find any trace of it in my memory, including this sunflower."
"After reviewing it with you, I am now more certain that there was a person in my childhood that I had forgotten. Her shadow was everywhere in my life, but my memory of her was gone... It feels like I can change my memory but not the reality, which doesn't seem so bad."
Rena Asakura took the sunflower from his hand, stopped and lowered her head, the faded orange-yellow color reflected in her deep blue pupils.
She suddenly trembled and her face turned as white as paper.
"You forgot me, but you didn't really forget me..."
Uesugi Nobu said: "That may be the case. I cannot guarantee you what I think of you yet. To be honest, my mind is also very confused now, but there is something I want you to help me with."
"...Well, you go first."
Uesugi Shin took a deep breath and said seriously: "When I found out that I had forgotten something, my heart was in a panic. This feeling is like...one day, suddenly realizing that I am not a complete person, which makes people feel uneasy."
At this point, Uesugi Nobu paused, looked at the dim sky, and said slowly:
"I think human memory is very precious. Have you ever thought about it seriously? A person's life seems to have no meaning. The memories created with others are the proof that 'I have lived' or 'someone has lived'. They are also the most precious treasure that belongs only to oneself."
"I admit that I have suffered for some memories, but no matter whether they are good or bad, my memories are my memories. They are stories that I share with others. Whether they are good or bad should not be determined by others, nor should they be manipulated by anyone."
"Magic: 223"
Besides being a little dull, his voice was filled with suppressed anger.
Yes, it's time to be depressed.
It makes me want to pick up my knife and talk to you about reason. Of course, I have to take a look to see if you are worthy of me talking to you. The time limit is three seconds after we meet. If you can't give me a suitable reason to make me accept your deceiving me about the meaning of my life, then I can only ask you if you have eaten?
If you haven't eaten it, take my knife. If you have eaten it, I will ask you to take my knife again.
He asked, "Do you have any clues?"
Asakura Reina bit her lips tightly and said, "I'll take you to a place."
Uesugi Nobu asked, "Where?"
"Kawayama Shrine, I can't tell you it's definitely there, but I keep dreaming about it."
Asakura Reina said this, as if she had thought of something, and took out her cell phone in front of Uesugi Nobuyuki: "Let's call someone."
Uesugi Nobuyuki was slightly stunned, then took out his phone in agreement. In the group chat of the Brave Team, Mao Lingdang sent a message, calling Hika Aika and Yumeno Chiharu, mainly Hika Aika. After all, she was an inspector of Soul Silver, and she was always thinking about slacking off, but in terms of real combat power, she was definitely stronger than them.
Reina's heart was in a mess, but she realized that being reckless might cause Uesugi Nobuyuki to get hurt, and her aching mind became much clearer.
Cat Bell: [Uesugi and I discovered something very strange. It might be related to what we are investigating. Let's meet at the guesthouse. I will explain it to you on the way.]
Cat Bell: [Kawayama Shrine, we will go there to investigate after we gather.]
The cutest in the world: [Kawayama? Chiharu and I are at Kawayama Shrine. ]
Cat Bell: [Why are you there? ]
The cutest in the world: [We were bored after we separated in the afternoon, and Chiharu happened to be very interested in the shrine, so we went to the mountains to investigate, and we are about to go back. ]
The cutest girl in the world: [You sent the message quite promptly. Qianqing and I have to make another trip later. Now is a good time. You and Xinjun can just come over! ]
Dai Goose: [Yeah.]
17: 41.
dusk.
Uesugi Nobuyuki and Asakura Rena looked at each other and nodded.
"They are all here."
"This saves a lot of trouble... I'll talk to the people at the Magic Strategy Bureau and keep in touch."
The two of them walked towards Kawayama Shrine while talking.
Both of them grew up in Kawayama County and knew the location of Kawayama Shrine very well, so they didn't need anyone to lead the way.
Walk along the road and then walk to the foot of the mountain on the other side. A winding path passes through the sparse trees on both sides and extends to the vague shadows of mountains in the distance.
The surrounding mountains were shrouded in the dim light, their outlines blurred and heavy. The trees mechanically cast their long and narrow black shadows, spreading on the paths covered with dead branches and leaves. There was no vitality, only silence.
18:00
dusk.
……
"Drinking tea is the most comfortable thing..."
Yumeno Chiharu was invited by Rixia Aihua to the B&B. In the afternoon, they went for a walk in the sunflower field and took a lot of beautiful photos. Their legs were a little sore after walking for a long time. Rixia Aihua, who had the worst physical strength, began to feel unbearable, so the two of them went to the B&B to rest for a while.
Rixia Aihua made hot tea for the two of them. Meng Ye Qianqing held the tea and took a small sip.
At this moment, the girl looked outside and it was already dark.
She looked at the wall clock again. It was 16:51, not even pm yet.
The sky in September is affected by the region, but it usually gets dark earlier than in the summer. At this time, it usually starts to get dark around six in the evening and turns into night at seven, but now it is only a little after four in the afternoon.
"Is it getting dark so soon?"
Meng Ye Qianqing walked to the window, looked up at the sky, and found that the sky that was bright just now had now been replaced by the night sky.
The night is hazy, and the sky is dotted with bright stars, shining like gems, which is incredibly beautiful.
Meng Ye Qianqing frowned slightly, confirmed the current time again and again, and looked out of the B&B. She found that Chuanshan County, which had always been deserted, had become lively. Men and women, young and old, walked out of the houses, looked up at the strange sky, and talked non-stop.
"Why is it dark?"
"My child hasn't come home yet."
"That's weird. Wait, what a beautiful starry sky. How long has it been since I last saw stars like this?"
"Wait a minute, let me record a video..."
“How about live streaming?”
"Wow, I talked to my girlfriend in Dongxue City, and the sky over there was still bright. What happened to us? Did we encounter some special weather? Like the aurora?"
"Do you also want to be the chosen child?"
The crowd of onlookers were talking about it, and soon they started taking pictures and recording videos with their mobile phones. Yumeno Chiharu was even more nervous. After experiencing the life of a magical girl for more than half a month and coming to Kawayama County on a mission, she was very sensitive to abnormal phenomena.
Dai E: [Senior, are you still out there?] (unread)
She sent a text message to Uesugi Nobuyuki, and looking back at their chat history, the most recent one was around noon.
Yumeno Chiharu waited for ten seconds without any response, and suddenly Hika Aika's voice sounded from behind.
"Hey! They found a clue. It seems there really is a basement."
Rixia Aihua turned over from the sofa and rubbed her hands ready to fight.
She glanced out the window and saw a night that seemed to be filled with stars and the Milky Way, but she ignored it and waved to Meng Ye Qianqing with a smile.
"Qianqing, let's go!"
Well, let's collect the statistics first.
Monthly ticket: 10551-8021=2530
Recommended votes: 101399-72051=29348
Reward: 50.65w-31.95w=18.7w
Blade: 2998-1613=1385
According to the rule of 200 monthly tickets, 200 blades, 2500 recommendation tickets, 2 rewards, which equals 2, let's make a calculation
Monthly ticket: 12*2k=2.4w
Recommendation votes: 11*2k=2.2w
Reward: 9*2k=1.8w
Blade: 6*2k=1.2w
2.4 2.2 + + + 1.8 1.2
Total: 7.6
OK
However, the reward is over, but I still humbly beg for votes
It's so difficult. The monthly ticket is about to be caught up.

Chapter 084 Wedding Dress and Mourning Dress, Guixu (8k)
Chuanshan County, a remote place.
A lonely house.
Beams of dazzling car lights cut through the silence of the night, instantly shattering the dullness.
The moment the car door opened, employees of the Magic Strategy Bureau dressed in uniforms similar to police uniforms filed out. The leader was a middle-aged man with sharp eyes and a walkie-talkie tucked onto his waist. After getting off the station, the outside of the house even looked like a manor. The visual effect was surprisingly large, and it was estimated to be as large as two football fields. It was a place that could not be managed without dozens of servants.
The rusty iron gate had its delicate patterns blurred by wind and rain. From time to time, employees from the Magic Strategy Bureau would come into the manor, and the movement of people and wind would cause the door hinges to creak.
The iron fence surrounding the manor was tightly entangled with weeds and vines. The courtyard that should have been majestic and grand was now covered with weeds and wild flowers blooming in a disorderly manner.
Looking from outside to inside, the outline of the house appeared blurry and heavy in the night. It was late at night, and everyone was holding flashlights. The flashlights penetrated the fences and cast mottled shadows, dancing on the ground like ghosts, adding a bit of eerie atmosphere to this abandoned place.
Fuck it.
Zuo Zizhengren, the person in charge of Plan A, stared at the manor, and then looked up at the sudden night sky.
I looked down at the time, damn, it's five o'clock in the afternoon, 17:00 is just right, and it's as dark as two or three o'clock in the morning. But you gotta admit, this spectacle of the starry sky and the Milky Way is pretty good. I've been fishing in Dongxue City for more than ten years and I almost forgot what the starry sky looks like. This glance almost brought me back to the night sky of my childhood in the countryside.
