Anyone who touches items related to Nuo will fall into a deep sleep, and can see Nuo's past in his dreams.

Hinata Hajime was very confused about this. Both Sawada Tsunayoshi and Byakuran Jesso had touched books before, but none of them fell asleep after touching them like he did, and no one could see into Nuo's memory.

Previously, Hinata Hajime had asked Sawada Tsunayoshi about his feelings after reading the book "The Unchanged Future". Sawada Tsunayoshi did have a moment of trance at that time, and those painful memories flashed through his mind, but it did not last for a long time, and he did not lose consciousness.

"So, why are we like this?"

Hinata Hajime sat on the steps, looking at the frozen scenery outside, "What's the difference between us and Tsunayoshi and the others?"

"She chose us." Kamukura Izuru stood beside Hinata Hajime, his face as calm as ever. "If you have to explain why there is something special, there is only one thing. We have a fragment of hope."

Hinata Hajime was stunned for a moment.

He carefully put his hand into his pocket, and when he took it out, a broken piece floated out of his hand.

The fragment of hope already has an outline, and only the middle piece is left to be collected, that is to say, this is the last fragment of hope.

"So, this is why we were chosen?" Hinata Hajime murmured, "But why would No choose someone specifically to check her past? I have never understood this."

There is no doubt that Nuo is the desperate host of this desperate incident. However, the more Hinata Hajime investigates, the more he feels something is wrong. Nuo's true nature is slowly revealed to him. She does not seem to be someone who would easily fall into despair, nor is she an evil person who can watch everyone die.

However, this desperate incident was indeed caused by No's spread.

Hinata Sou sighed when he thought of this. After all, he still had to find Nuo first.

At this moment, the stagnant scenery around him began to move. Kamijou Izuru reached out his hand to Hinata Hajime, and after Hinata Hajime was pulled up by him, he watched everything that happened in the past.

Nuo came in from outside wearing a black hood, with a few strands of golden hair sticking out from the hood. It was raining outside, and Nuo didn't hold an umbrella. She just stood quietly in the rain, took out the key from her pocket, opened the door, and locked herself in the house.

After locking the door, Nuo opened her hood and slid down slowly against the door. The water on her body flowed down her clothes onto the ground.

There was thunder outside, but Nuo didn't get up. She maintained the same posture and took out her cell phone from her pocket. Soon she logged into a certain software and entered a forum that Hinata Hajime was not familiar with.

Every industry has its own website. Whether it is for discussion or creation, many things are discussed in their own exclusive places and will never appear on social networks. For many people, Nuo is not a star writer, he has no fame and no famous works, so of course he will not be popular.

[Has that guy named Nuo done enough with his fraud? This is not the way to hype things up. It’s so annoying. ]

【How dare someone say that she wrote the book?】

[Who knows? He is just a small author. Unless his book was really stolen, how could he have the courage to argue with a famous writer?]

[Stop talking about conspiracy, bring the evidence, whoever brings it up can testify, as long as she brings out the evidence, I will support her.]

[If there was evidence I could produce, I would have done it long ago.]

"What do you know?" No murmured, "I have a lot of evidence. The book exists in my life, and there are traces of it everywhere. But it's useless. It's my book, it's mine!"

Nuo pressed the screen of his mobile phone hard, his water-stained fingers turning white from pressing too hard, "They deceived me."

Nuo at this moment made Hinata Hajime feel very familiar. At that time, he unknowingly came to ten years later, and the Nuo he saw for the first time looked like this, holding a book in her arms, her eyes full of despair, and that strong aura of despair almost swallowed her.

At that moment, Nuo's mobile phone interface flashed, and a line of words suddenly appeared on Nuo's mobile phone.

"I can help you get your work back."

Nuo was stunned for a moment, then she stood up suddenly, "What? Did you get the virus?"

"I can help you realize your wish. Not only can I get the work back, but I can also bring disgrace upon the publisher and that person. All I need is your despair at this moment."

"ha?"

"Despair in exchange for hope is the most cost-effective trade ever made."

"What can you do?" Nuo stared at his phone. "I don't know who you are, but even if I have evidence, I can't get my work back. The law here doesn't care about people who are right. If you can really help me, it means that it won't be a normal method."

"Maybe even in a way that I can't accept."

"..."

"Please get out of my life."

Hinata Hajime was a little surprised. He was so surprised that he even grabbed the arm of Kamukura Izuru next to him.

"Irish, she rejected the fragments of despair!"

Kamuzuru Izuru turned his head and glanced at Hinata Hajime, then he lowered his gaze to the place where Hinata Hajime grabbed him. After a moment, he raised his head and said, "Yeah."

"A desperate host who is rejecting the Fragment of Despair, this is different from usual." Hinata Hajime murmured, "Even in despair, Nuo still retained her sanity and was not crushed by this matter at all. Then when was she bound by the Fragment of Despair?"

"July." Kamuzuru Izuru said, "It all started in July."

As if to make sure that Hinata Hajime and Kamijou Izuru had finished viewing, the surrounding scenery began to disappear. Except for the stairs where the two of them were standing, the surroundings turned into the sea again. The stairs were suspended in the air above the sea, like some kind of internet celebrity tourist attraction.

Hinata Sou sighed, "What a pity."

"pity?"

"It's here." Hinata Hajime looked around. This blue ocean was particularly beautiful, a beauty different from that in their spiritual space. Especially with the addition of this suspended platform, it gave a wonderful feeling.

Hinata Hajime walked down the stairs and said, "It's a pity that we can't take pictures."

“You can live in reality.”

"well?"

"This area has real scenery." Kamiya Izuru said, "There is a tourist area on the French border. Three years ago, that area was just beginning to be promoted."

Hinata Hajime looked at Kamuzuru Izuru, and after a moment he tilted his head, "When did you find out?"

"This is my first time leaving here." Kamukura Izuru answered calmly, "Look over there."

Hinata Hajime followed Kamuzuru Izuru's line of sight and looked to the side, and then he saw a sign blending into the sea water with some words written in French on it. Hinata Hajime did not understand French and did not know what it meant, but Kamuzuru Izuru, who possessed all the talents, should be able to understand it clearly.

So, the first time, even though Kamizuru was about to fall into the sea, he still found a lot of clues.

Should we say that it is worthy of being called Kamizuru-dera?

“If you want to take photos, go to France.”

"Forget it, there's no need to make a special trip to France." Hinata Hajime refused with a smile.

Kamiya Izuru looked at him and said, "You felt it was a pity just now."

"That's because..." Hinata Hajime opened his mouth to explain, but after a moment he tutted his words and said, "Forget it."

"Go on."

"So you did it on purpose?" Hinata Sou sighed, "I wanted to take a picture because you are here too. Such a beautiful scenery should be taken by the two of us together. If we go to France alone, no matter if it's you or me who comes out, it won't be perfect."

"Since it's not perfect, I'd rather not shoot it."

Kamiya Izuru looked at him, his red eyes showing no emotion. After a moment, he spoke, "Why do people leave behind memories?"

"In my opinion, so-called commemoration has no meaning. Giving objects more definitions is just a restriction imposed by humans because they are afraid that time will cause feelings to deteriorate."

"You're right, actually." Hinata Sou sighed, "But, this is also emotion."

"Really?"

"Of course." Hinata Hajime said with a smile, "Because I'm afraid that this relationship will change in the future, I want to keep it for longer and longer. Thinking about it will not make up for the loss. Only when you really care about it will it lead to the opposite effect."

Kamiya Izuru shook his head, "I won't have any adverse effects."

"well?"

"I will not let you feel constrained by my love for you."

hiss……

Hinata Hajime sucked in a breath of cool air. He was caught off guard and felt like he was thrown into a honey jar. Even the bubbles he blew out were the color of honey.

Wasn't it the meaning of a souvenir that was mentioned at the beginning?

...Wait, souvenirs?

"Wait a minute, Izuru." Hinata Hajime suddenly spoke up, "No, you're a writer, right?"

"Writers are a special group. They need to find materials to write and can find inspiration from various places. Therefore, almost every author will record the inspiration that comes to them at some point and save them together. I remember that even Fukawa has this habit."

"So does Nuo also have a notebook for recording small details?"

Kamuzuru Izuru nodded, "She did."

"Izuru?" Hinata Hajime looked at Kamukura Izuru who answered with certainty, "Do you already know where she is?"

"Probably." Kamiya Izuru looked at the sea beneath his feet.

Hinata Hajime looked down along the line of sight of Kamizuru Izuru. In the bottomless sea, it seemed as if something was looking at him. He quickly pulled Kamizuru Izuru and ran out.

…

Rokudo Mukuro looked at Hinata Hajime lying on the ground and began to think about what to do.

Calling Vongola for help was not his style, and he didn't like this man named Hinata Hajime that much. He still remembered clearly how he was targeted several times before, but he was not a bastard who would add insult to injury at this time.

As expected, I used magic to go in and see what happened to that guy.

Rokudo Mukuro opened his hands and a trident appeared in his hands. Just when he was about to perform an illusion, Hinata Hajime, who had just been lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes.

He didn't even look at Rokudo Mukuro before he started rummaging through No's house.

"Huh?" Rokudo Mukuro stared at Hinata Hajime, "He was just pretending?"

"Don't just stand there, help me find something." Hinata Hajime didn't even look at Rokudo Mukuro, but said to him, "A notebook, a diary or some scattered records."

Rokudo Mukuro looked with disdain at the layer of dust in the house that had not been lived in for three years.

"We can find Nuo's location." Hinata Hajime finally looked at Rokudo Mukuro, "If she is still alive."
