[Rather than paying attention to Iceland Akiba, you should think more about the form of this despair fragment. ]

[I know, but I can't just ignore someone committing suicide.] Hinata Hajime put on the Bluetooth headset, [Nana is investigating his location right now, I will use this time to confirm Xiaolan's situation, maybe there will be gains.]

Kamizuru narrowed his eyes subtly, [Creation.]

【Um?】

【be safe.】

Hinata Hajime frowned slightly, he stopped and said, "Izuru, why do you say that?"

Ever since they left their original world to search for fragments of hope, this was the first time that Kamizuru Izuru asked Hinata Hajime to pay attention to safety. Under normal circumstances, Hinata Hajime could handle most desperate incidents with the help of Kamizuru Izuru's talents. Any difficult incidents could be solved as long as Kamizuru Izuru came out.

Why did Hinata Hajime pay attention to his safety this time when Kamuzura was out?

[I have a bad feeling.]

[Premonition?] Hinata Hajime was a little surprised, [Izuku, do you also have the ability of premonition at the super high school level?]

Kamiya Izuru looked at the water in the mirror lake, and after a moment he spoke, "Let's go check on Xiaolan first."

【good.】

Of course Hinata Hajime would not take Kamukura Izuru's words seriously, he quickly went to the hospital. Edogawa Conan was still investigating the location of Iceland Akiha alone, but this time he had the help of Professor Agasa and Haibara Ai, so Hinata Hajime did not say much.

In the hospital, the Maori couple were still standing outside the ward, pacing back and forth anxiously. In the ward, Xiaolan was leaning on the bed. Suzuki Sonoko tried to cheer her up, but to no avail.

Hinata Hajime bought some flowers suitable for the visit downstairs and gestured to Mori Kogoro when he came over.

"It's Mr. Hinata." Maori Kogoro looked tired, "Thank you for coming to visit, and thank you for pulling Xiaolan down from above."

"This is my duty." Hinata Hajime held the flowers and looked into the ward, "Can I go in and take a look?"

"Go ahead." Kisaki Eri lowered her head. "This child doesn't want to see us, but if it were you, she might see us. After all, you were the one who pulled her down from the windowsill."

Hinata Hajime said sorry and knocked on the door. Mouri Ran looked outside, her empty eyes without any fluctuation. She did not reject Hinata Hajime. After Suzuki Sonoko nodded, Hinata Hajime walked in and put the flowers on the bedside table.

"Wow, what a beautiful flower! Xiaolan, look, this flower is so fresh and beautiful."

Mao Lilan forced a smile, but her eyes were still sad, and even the forced smile did not look good.

"I'm sorry." Mao Lilan smiled bitterly, "I don't know why, I can't laugh at all. Sonoko, I'm sorry, I still can't do it."

"Don't be like this, it's not your fault, Xiaolan." Suzuki Sonoko quickly comforted her, "It's their fault that makes you sad, not you, Xiaolan. So, whether you are sad or happy, I am by your side. That's all, isn't it?"

Mao Lilan leaned in Suzuki Sonoko's arms, with a little light in her eyes.

She did not completely lose her will to survive.

"Come on." Hinata Sou said, "Well, I want to ask, Xiaolan, where did you and Sonoko go with your classmates before? Can you tell me?"

"Where have you been?"

Suzuki Sonoko immediately understood that Hinata Hajime might want to know something. Thinking that Hinata Hajime was a policeman, she quickly spoke up, "Of course, no problem. We didn't go anywhere else, we just went shopping in the mall. Xiaolan originally wanted to buy a scarf, but finally decided to knit one herself, so we went to buy wool together."

"Yes." Mao Lilan lowered her head, "I think I also played a roulette game."

"Are you talking about the supermarket shopping lottery?" Suzuki Sonoko said, "That doesn't count."

"Wheel-spinning lottery?"

"Well, it was an event at the mall, but my luck was bad and I didn't win any prizes."

Hinata Hajime nodded, "Okay, I understand, thank you, Xiaolan."

After making sure that he could not find any more information from Mao Li Ran, Hinata Hajime followed the instructions to the shopping mall that Suzuki Sonoko mentioned. There was indeed a shopping lottery going on inside. The first prize was a refrigerator, and many people were queuing up to spin the turntable. There was nothing wrong at all.

However, so far, it seems that Mao Lilan is still rational for the time being, and she has not been deprived of the ability to think for herself.

It was as if her cowardice was reinforced, or in other words: her strength was taken away from her.

The things that she used to be able to bear are no longer bearable, and all the sadness in the past burst out in an instant, causing Mao Lilan to collapse for a short time. However, because the strength disappeared, Mao Lilan was unable to build up confidence well and could only continue in the repetitive pain.

【What do you think of De Liu? 】

[Too little information.] Kamukura Izuru said calmly, [Neither the information about Akiha Iceland nor the information about her contact with the Despair Fragment is complete. The future I see is very fragmented.]

【What can analytical ability see for the time being? 】

【Mist.】

Mist?

Hinata Sou frowned, and just as he was about to continue asking, Nanami Chiaki's voice rang out.

"Hinata-kun, we found her!" Nanami Chiaki said, "She is on the coast of Tokyo. The surveillance last saw her walking towards the sea."

"What?" Hinata Hajime hurriedly walked towards the place where Nanami Chiaki said.

No matter what, if Akiha Iceland really committed suicide, he must go and rescue her. Now it is not certain whether she is the host of despair or is simply affected by the fragments of despair. No matter what the situation is, Akiha Iceland cannot be allowed to die.

Heading to the beach as quickly as possible, Hinata Hajime saw a deserted beach.

"Huh? No one?"

"Because this is not a tourist coast, and several people have died due to high tides, it is strictly prohibited to enter."

Hinata Hajime looked inside, and at this moment, he saw a pair of shoes. The leather shoes were neatly placed on the shore. Hinata Hajime quickly climbed over the fence and ran towards where the shoes were, but just when he squatted down to confirm whether these were the shoes of Akiha Iceland.

Ding Dong sound.

It was a clear and crisp sound, like the claw machine in a toy town.

Hinata Sou raised his head and saw the illusory neon lights around him. Behind the neon lights, Akiha Iceland was standing there smiling at him. That smile did not sound like that of a suicidal girl. It even gave Hinata Sou an indescribable sense of familiarity.

This familiar feeling... is Enoshima Junko.

"So, what's the point of being a good person? You'll only be bullied by others because of your weaknesses." Iceland Akiha laughed so hard that he trembled. "Interesting, very interesting!"

"Iceland Akiha?!"

"Ah? Are you calling me?" Akiha Hōdō put away the smile on her face and looked at Hyuga Hajime expressionlessly, "What do you want to say? Dear policeman."

Hinata Hajime understood when the neon lights came on that Akiha Iceland was the desperate host. She had never been followed by a strange man, nor did she want to commit suicide. She was just pretending to deceive Hinata Hajime.

"Why did you do this? You're the one who made Mao Lilan become like that, right?"

"That's what you're asking. You're such a good person. You still ask about other people's situations even in this situation. Why? Of course it's because you're bored." Iceland Akiha said, "This world is really too boring. There are annoying people everywhere. Everyone is like an underdeveloped monkey. How could I be born in this world?"

"If people are bored, they will want to see something interesting."

As he spoke, Akiha of Iceland laughed again, "Mr. Policeman, you seem very angry."

"Don't be ridiculous." Hinata Hajime walked forward, but was knocked back by the transparent neon lights. He looked around, and the light strips surrounded him. "A person's life is not your toy!"

"I'm so moved that I almost cried!" Iceland Akiha laughed, then she suddenly stopped smiling, "But, the game has begun."

After Iceland Akiha's voice, the light bands instantly combined into a huge turntable in front of Hinata Hajime. Iceland Akiha stood next to the turntable with pretended love in her eyes. She smiled happily, as if she was cheering for the tragedy that was to come.

"Let's see what the Wheel of Fortune will take from you, sir?"

"What?"

The turntable started spinning, and looking at it, Hinata Sou remembered the turntable in the mall that Mao Li Ran had mentioned to him.

It was probably at that time that she was replaced by Akiha of Iceland.

The turntable turned several times and finally stopped slowly. Hinata Hajime was finally able to see the words on it and the word the pointer was pointing to: gentleness.

Hinata Hajime pressed his forehead with one hand. At that moment, he seemed to feel something cool pouring into his body, as if something was taken away from him.

"Well, goodbye!" Iceland Akiha smiled and disappeared.

Hinata Hajime fell to the ground and sat on the beach. Only the girl's shoes were left there.

"Hinata-kun?" Nanami Chiaki's voice echoed in Hinata Hajime's ears, "Hinata-kun? What's wrong with you? Why have you been in a daze for so long? Did you communicate with Kamiya-kun?"

"Hinata-kun, why aren't you talking?"

Hinata Hajime sat there silently. After a moment, he reached out and took off the Bluetooth headset from his ear, and then threw it casually on the beach. He looked out to the sea, with no emotion in his blue eyes.

【Creation?】

Kamuzuru Izuru stood up, [Hinata Hajime?]

In the spiritual space, Kamijou Izuru watched the mirror lake shatter into pieces, the pale white sky was swallowed up by the black chaos, everything was disappearing, leaving only an unclear mist.

This spiritual space is a world created by Kamijou Izuru and Hinata Hajime. They can access each other here, but if one of them no longer maintains it, this spiritual space will collapse and the only place they can access will disappear.

But that's not the point.

The point is: Kamijou Izuru cannot contact Hinata Hajime.

It was as if Kamijou Izuru was completely cut off from all contact, and a thick wall was suddenly erected between him and Hinata Hajime, and his words could not reach Hinata Hajime's heart at all.

【Genesis.】 Kamuzuru Izuru stood up.

【What was taken away from you? 】

In reality, Hinata Hajime looked at the Bluetooth headset on the ground. He stood up and stepped on it directly. However, because the sand was soft, the headset was not crushed but sank into the sand. He looked at everything calmly and then turned and left the beach.

He thought: What a trouble.

Why should I care about someone's life or death? Even if I want to find a fragment of hope, I don't need to go through so many detours.

Isn't it the autumn leaves of Iceland?

If it really doesn't work, you can just kill her and let the Fragment of Despair find another host.

On Hinata Hajime's shoulders, wisps of black gas slowly emerged.
