At the same time, Amamiya Haruki and Hayashi Nanaya were walking on the street.

"Why did you come with me?" Amamiya Haruki looked at Lin Qiye in confusion, "I just came out to find a way to buy diving equipment. I don't think I need two people, right?"

Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows and said, "I can't stay in that room any longer. Don't look at anything indecent, don't listen to anything indecent."

“…”

Although Amamiya Haruki didn't understand what Lin Qiye was saying, he didn't intend to ask more questions. He just nodded and continued walking forward.

"Speaking of which, why is the relationship between Wu Ji and the Sword Master so good?" Lin Qiye asked puzzledly, "Where is your Yubeng Sword Soul? Why doesn't it come out to interact with you more often?"

"……interactive?"

Amamiya Haruki paused, "The personalities of the sword spirits are also different. [Yubeng] is more introverted, and as I said before, [Wu Ji] is different from other Huojin swords..."

"What else is different?"

"[Wu Ji] chooses a sword master from beginning to end. Once she recognizes someone as her master, she will accompany him until the sword master dies, and then disappear into the world. After ten years, she will come out again and choose a sword master..."

"Silent for ten years? Where would she go during this time?"

"I don't know, but some people say that she is waiting." Amamiya Haruki said, "It is rumored that before Wu Ji became a sword spirit, she had a husband, but he died of illness in the troubled times. After she became a sword spirit, she could peek into fate, and every sword master she chose was actually the reincarnation of her husband.

The reason why she wants to accompany the sword master until his death is to use the scabbard of the [Wu Ji] to contain the sword master's soul, use her own power to nourish the soul for a few years, and then send it to reincarnation. After that, she will watch his birth in the world and accompany him quietly. When he reaches adulthood, she will choose him as her master. "

"Sounds like a good story."

"I think so, too."

As the two talked, they walked to a remote alley, and finally Amamiya Haruki stopped in front of a shabby-looking home appliance repair shop with a tattered sign hanging on it that read "Hokkaido Nozaki Home Appliance Repair."

"It looks quite old." Lin Qiye said.

"This is a century-old shop passed down from our ancestors, so it certainly has a long history," said Amamiya Haruki, "but now the main business here is no longer home appliance repairs..."

After saying that, he stepped in.

Not only the storefront, but the interior of the store was also extremely messy. As soon as he walked in, a faint musty smell hit him in the face, making Lin Qiye frown.

At the edge of the store, a white-haired old man raised his head slightly, glanced at Amamiya Haruki, and then drooped his eyelids again, as if he had no intention of receiving any guests.

"I'm here to buy some parallel-imported goods." Haruki Amamiya walked to the counter and spoke calmly.

Hearing this, the old man narrowed his eyes and looked at the two young men in front of him again.

"Parallel imports are a bit tight." He said quietly.

"rich."

The old man raised his eyebrows, and after a moment, he slowly stood up from his seat, lifted the door curtain and walked towards the backyard, "Come on."

Amamiya Haruki nodded to Lin Qiye, and the two followed the old man into the backyard, then turned several corners and came to a locked warehouse door.

After unlocking the door and walking into the warehouse, I saw several diving suits hanging on the dusty wall, and stacks of oxygen cylinders nearby.

"Seven million yen a set, no bargaining." The old man spoke slowly.

Diving equipment is an absolute contraband in this country. It is impossible for any factory to manufacture it. The equipment currently available on the market are all looted from various facilities hundreds of years ago. If you buy one set, you have one less set, so bargaining is impossible.

Fortunately, not many people use this thing, and the price is not too outrageous.

Amemiya Haruki knew the reason behind this and had no intention of bargaining. He just paid and took the goods. He put the two sets of equipment into two boxes and walked outside.

As soon as I lifted the door curtain and walked out, I saw a man in black clothes and a black baseball cap standing in the store, seemingly choosing home appliances. When he saw Lin Qiye and the other person coming out from the backyard, a gleam of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he pretended not to care and continued to choose.

This subtle change in expression was not obvious under the baseball cap, but Lin Qiye's mental power clearly captured this scene.

Lin Qiye just glanced at him lightly and passed by, as if he didn't notice him at all.

"Let's go." said Haruki Amamiya.

The two men walked out of the store with the boxes. After a long time, the man slowly walked up to the old man and spoke in a low voice:

"Parallel imports, are there any more?"

…

"That person also went to buy diving equipment."

Outside the store, Lin Qiye suddenly spoke.

Amamiya Haruki was stunned for a moment before he realized who Lin Qiye was talking about. "Someone else wants this thing? Where is he going to hide?"

"I don't know, but he doesn't look like an ordinary person." Lin Qiye said confidently, "His hands are full of calluses, and his steps are light. He must have practiced, and he has been holding a gun for a long time. His eyes are very sharp, and he seems to have noticed something wrong with us. He has a strong vigilance and anti-reconnaissance ability...

Moreover, there was a spear mark on his palm. "

"Spear Mark?" Amamiya Haruki thought about it carefully. "Japan should not have such a large organization. If it is a small civilian organization, I don't know."

"His skills and vigilance don't seem like something that a small organization can train."

"Too……"

Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, "Is it possible that his destination is the same as ours?"

"Ruins?" Amamiya Haruki frowned slightly. "In Hokkaido, and buying diving equipment, it is indeed possible... but very few people know about this place, how did he know..."

…

Fog.

A ship slowly approached the shore amid the rolling waves.

Although it was still daytime, everything was still blurry under the cover of fog, and even the sky was a little dim.

Galan, Wu Xiangnan, and the knight walked down from the boat, stepped on the beach, looked up at the ruins of the city shrouded in mist in front of them, their eyes narrowed slightly.

The ruined buildings, broken roads, and all the surrounding plants have withered and died. Not far away, stacked low houses are gathered together, emitting a chilling chill in the dim fog. There is no sign of life at all.

"This is Japan?" Jia Lan held the black box and looked around. "It looks pretty shabby."

"After the fog descended, this place became a restricted zone for life. Everything is still the same as it was a hundred years ago, of course it's very shabby." Wu Xiangnan explained, "Also, judging from the direction we landed, this place was not originally the central area of ​​Japan, but just a large island on the edge."

"Island..."

Jia Lan walked to the side of the road, looked up at a shabby shop sign on the side of the road, turned around and asked:

"Do you recognize the words here? What does it say?"

Wu Xiangnan looked up at the sign, paused, and said, "It says, 'Hokkaido Nozaki Home Appliance Repair'."
