Lin Qiye looked around, his eyes full of confusion.

He didn't know what was going on.

His memory still lingers on the moment when he confronted the white-haired old man in the fog outside the border of Daxia.

He remembered that the man put his hand on the hilt of the knife, and then his whole body seemed to be frozen, his body and mind stagnated at the same time. When he woke up, he was already here...

Where is this?

What about others?

He looked around. It was just an ordinary gravel beach. Apart from a little girl who was dressed strangely and looked frightened, there was no one else around.

The other team members weren't around.

In the end, Lin Qiye's gaze fell on the little girl with a terrified face.

He suddenly felt that the little girl's dress seemed familiar. He felt that he had seen it in a book... as if it was a course mentioned in the training camp.

The little girl looked at Lin Qiye warily for a moment, and asked tentatively:

"君は死んでいないのか?" ("So you're not dead?")

"?"

After listening to her mumbling a few words, Lin Qiye fell into a deep confusion...

He doesn't understand.

But at this moment, he finally remembered where he had seen these things.

During the training camp, there was a special course that talked about the cultural differences between countries in the world before the fog fell, which led to many myths and legends from different regions. He knew which countries existed in the world before the fog fell, and also knew their general cultural differences, but this was all written knowledge and he had not seen it with his own eyes, so he could not remember it for a while.

But now, he can basically determine where this place is.

Cherry blossoms, kimonos, language... Is this Japan?

Lin Qiye stood there in a daze for a long time, then looked around again.

There was a low gravel shoal, with a towering cliff on one side and a narrow road on the cliff. The hum of passing vehicles could be faintly heard on the road. The sky in the distance was as blue as a wash, and the waves rolled in from the end of the field of vision, white and pure, and the white clouds in the sky passed by slowly, as if in a painting...

How is this possible? !

Hasn’t Japan been engulfed by the fog long ago?

Lin Qiye clearly remembered that when he was in the training camp, the instructor had already said that Japan was now completely shrouded in fog and there were no survivors at all. The former "Blue Rain" team also brought back news of Japan's demise after chasing the Yamata no Orochi into the fog.

This should have been a dead city shrouded in fog, the entrance to Takama-ga-hara, the hometown of the Japanese gods.

But what he saw now didn't look like a dead city at all.

He looked around, and even if he could see the end of the sea, he could not find any trace of the fog.

It was as if the fog had completely disappeared from the planet.

Lin Qiye stood there like a sculpture, staring at the sea in the distance in a daze.

Yurina blinked, and seeing that Lin Qiye did not answer his question, he spoke again:

"I'm talking to you, I'm talking to you, I'm talking to you, why are you still in a daze?"

Lin Qiye came back to his senses and looked at the girl in the black cherry blossom kimono. After hesitating for a moment, he gave a polite smile.

He didn't know what the other party was talking about, nor did he know what was going on in this country... It would be better not to reveal his identity as an outsider for now.

Seeing Lin Qiye smiling at her inexplicably, Yurina's expression became even weirder, and she continued to ask in Japanese:

"What generation are you from? Where do you live? What's your ID number?"

Lin Qiye smiled but said nothing.

Yurina asked suspiciously, "You...are you dumb? Or deaf?"

Lin Qiye smiled even more brightly.

Apparently he is deaf.

Yurina was certain of what she was thinking.

If he was a mute, even if he couldn't speak, he should be able to gesture a few times, or just show his number, but he didn't respond to what I said at all...

There's something wrong with his ears!

Thinking of this, Yurina looked at Lin Qiye with a bit of pity in her eyes.

Lin Qiye didn't know what the little girl was thinking, but he always felt that there was something wrong with her expression. However, he seemed unable to do anything except continue laughing.

Yurina stretched out her hand and was about to gesture something when the shrill sound of a police siren quickly came from the road above.

The police car stopped by the side of the road, and then two men's voices rang out from above their heads.

"This should be where the girl made the call. Let's split up and look for her to see if she's still there."

"It's been so long. If you wanted to commit suicide, it must be over by now, right?"

"Suicide is a serious crime, and she chose to commit suicide on the beach, breaking the sea ban, which is an even greater crime. If she is still alive, we will directly detain her and imprison her for life. If she is dead, we will also recover her body..."

"Okay, I'll go first.

After hearing this conversation, Yurina's face suddenly turned ugly, and anxiety appeared in her eyes.

Of course she knew that suicide was a felony, but she still chose to call the police, hoping to use the police to tell them about her death so as to achieve some of her goals... But she didn't expect that now that the police had arrived, she hadn't died yet.

Now that she is on the shallows, it is impossible for her to commit suicide by jumping into the sea. Even if she wants to dive into the sea and drown, the two policemen will quickly fish her out. Once she is thrown into prison, she will be unable to live or die.

Yurina's brain worked rapidly and she made a quick choice, sticking her body to the blind spot below the cliff and moving to the other side along the coastline.

At this moment, she seemed to have thought of something, turned around and grabbed Lin Qiye's arm again, and said to him solemnly:

"Follow me next and don't make any noise!"

Although she didn't know who Lin Qiye was, since he was also floating in the sea, it was very likely that he had attempted suicide like herself. Even if he didn't commit suicide, entering the sea area without permission violated the sea ban and he would be imprisoned.

Unfortunately, he was deaf and could not hear that the two policemen had already started searching the place. If he was left here, he would only end up being arrested.

Anyway, she would be escaping alone, so it would be a piece of cake for her to take him with her.

Lin Qiye didn't understand what Yurina was saying, but she didn't seem to have any bad intentions, so he just nodded and followed her.

Yurina took Lin Qiye and walked along the coastline for a while with ease. They came to a steep slope and climbed up nimbly with bare feet.

When she quickly climbed to the other end of the road, she realized that Lin Qiye might not be able to climb such a steep slope as easily as she did. Just as she was about to look back, a figure in black landed beside her gently like a ghost.
