"Master? Master Hanyu?"

The man in the suit slowly opened his eyes and looked at the delicate woman dressed by the maid.

"What's up?"

Although his voice was gentle and courteous, it was alienated.

"Time to go to Mist Mountain..."

"Oh, I see."

After responding softly, he closed his eyes again.

Hanyu Wenxin listened to the maid's footsteps gradually walking away, and his heart was full of rare thoughts.

The Hanyu family is a strange family. When he was very young, his grandfather, who was called a monster, passed away.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Hanyu family has many strange rules, such as... no sacrifice to heaven and earth, no talking about ghosts and gods, no hurting hair and skin, no drinking tea and so on.

So until now, Hanyu Wenxin's hair has not been trimmed, but tied behind the back like a woman's. When attending some occasions, there are always strange eyes.

Not long after the maid left, there was another sound of footsteps coming from far and near.

"Master..."

An old voice sounded in front of him.

Hanyu Wenxin opened his eyes and said, "I'm fine, A Fubo."

"Master, I'm getting old... A Fu doesn't know what to do about many things, but I know that it will be more comfortable to say what's in my heart..."

The old butler in formal attire lowered his eyes and said.

Hanyu Wenxin was silent for a moment, then looked towards the sky.

"I met a man, A Fubo...he was very much like a man I remembered."

"I... have never known whether that memory is true or not."

Hanyu Wenxin's long hair fluttered in front of her forehead, and her memories fluttered along with the cherry blossoms blown down by the wind.

Ever since he could remember, he had had frequent dreams.

In those dreams, I didn't grow up in Japan.

Although the dream was very chaotic, he could see the place where he lived in the dream, which was an ancient city.

There is smoke from the kitchen, white walls and black tiles, surrounded by mountains and long streams of water...

To this day, he still doesn't know whether these dreams really happened, or they were just hallucinations...

Occasionally, he would dream of another child.

I am a bit older than him, but play well with him.

One of his most memorable dreams was that he got lost with that child.

The two of them walked in circles in the alleys of the ancient city and could not find their way home after walking for a long time.

Somehow, the two walked from the city to the river.

"Are you two brothers?"

He heard someone ask gently.

Looking up, the people by the river looked a little hazy because of the tears that flowed from the anxiety of getting lost.

But he could feel it—it was a gentle and beautiful lady.

She just stood on the bank of the river, wearing a long white dress full of small flowers, with a warm smile like a spring breeze.

"Are you brothers?"

she asked again, her voice kind and gentle.

"Yes!"

he replied.

"Can't find your way home? Come with me, I have delicious food in my house!" The lady didn't come close, but asked softly by standing by the river bank, "Come? There is another one in my house. , a little girl about your age, she will be very happy."

He and the little boy looked at each other, and the two nodded. After being lost for so long, their stomachs were already hungry.

"it is good!"

he replied.

"Come here..." Madam laughed, "I'll take you there..."

At this moment, a serious voice suddenly appeared.

"It's almost night and you don't go home. What are you doing here?"

He turned his head and saw a tall man standing in the shade of a tree. Behind him was the rosy sunset, and the intoxicating sunlight hung diagonally behind him like a golden gauze.

"If you want to invite my children, just come to the door in person."

The tall man said to the elegant and beautiful lady.

"..."

The lady in the long white dress stopped talking. She turned around and walked slowly into the river.

In a trance, he saw that under the lady's skirt was a thick bucket-like tail covered with scales.

Do not.

It was the tail of a big snake, but it had grown into the appearance of a beautiful lady.

Its head was hidden in the river water, and it was its tail that was talking to them all the time.

It wasn't until the ripples of the scalp-numbing snake disappeared into the water that the tall man murmured helplessly, "It goes on like this...how can I live to adulthood..."

After a while.

The tall man squatted down slowly and touched his head: "Wen Xin, you are older than your brother, you must protect him, remember?"

"Um!"

"And you, brat, you are expressionless when you see everything, are you asleep?"

"Hahaha……"

...

"Afubo, have I really...never left Hanyu's house?"

Hanyu Wenxin asked.

"No, sir."

The Old Housekeeper replied with a low eyebrow.

"Then... where's my father? Where's my mother? Even if they're all dead, where did they die? Where's the body?"

"I'm sorry, master..."

The Old Housekeeper didn't answer, just apologized.

Hanyu Wenxin fell silent and stopped talking, all the emotions on his face were restrained, and he said calmly:

"Let's go, to Mist Mountain."

Ten days later, the person who makes me feel inexplicably familiar will also go.

Red-ranked feast, Asakusa Shrine, Nohmian...real snake.

Hanyu Wenxin stood up, strangely, a translucent mask appeared on his face.

If this mask is seen by the people at the banquet, everyone will recognize it.

Because it is also one of the people selected by the red-level sacrificial banquet.

Can face... laugh.

Tokyo Prefecture.

After Qin Wenyu came back, she slept for a full twelve hours, and it was already noon the next day when she woke up.

Yibuki Youxian couldn't be contacted for the time being, and next, he was going to enter a red-level curse where he was almost dead.

It's simply difficult for others...

No time to rest?

Qin Wenyu rubbed his eyes and looked out the window, and saw the pot of cactus at a glance.

It would be great if life was like a pot of prickly pears, whoever dares to touch it will be stabbed.

While he was in a daze, suddenly there was a violent explosion in the courtyard.

"boom"

Qin Wenyu frowned, walked to the window and looked into the courtyard.

Yayoi Amemiya in a white coat is holding a bowl of cup noodles in his hand.

She seems to have a special sensitivity to eyes, Qin Wenyu just glanced at her, she turned her head to look over.

"Morning," Qin Wenyu greeted and looked at the cup noodles in her hand, "the explosion just now was..."

"There was an accident when the water was boiled," she said lightly, then glanced at Qin Wenyu again, "Do you want to eat?"

As soon as the voice fell, the doorbell rang, and Qin Wenyu heard as if the police came to ask what happened.

Yayoi Amemiya put down the cup noodles and went to open the door. After dealing with the police, he found that the cup noodles he put on the stone table had been eaten up.

"This is my cup..."

"Miss Yu Gong, how did you survive?" Qin Wenyu interrupted her seriously.

"You have to pay me a..."

"Is it an accident? At that time, the tall and powerful ghost was coming up, and you detonated the bomb. Could it be that the impact of the explosion sent you into its mouth?"

"I……"

"That's really good. Miss Amamiya is a good person, and a good person should be rewarded." Qin Wenyu nodded.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Yayoi Amemiya with a puzzled look on his face: "Is Miss Amemiya doing anything else?"

Yayoi Amemiya looked at him expressionlessly, and after a while, she pointed to Qin Wenyu's feet: "You stepped on the bomb, don't move, it will explode if you move."

Qin Wenyu was startled, he looked down, and he seemed to have stepped on something!

There were fine beads of sweat oozing out of his forehead, wouldn't it...

"Miss Amamiya, save me..."

"Miss Amamiya, where are you going?"

"Umiya..."

She went upstairs.
