…
The most indispensable thing in the night sky on festive days is beautiful fireworks.
Everyone went out in old-fashioned clothes, in groups of two or three, wearing yukatas and wooden clogs, holding steaming takoyaki in paper bowls, and walking on the slightly damp bluestone bricks and mossy stone steps.
The lively festival area is now filled with such people.
In front of a stall selling takoyaki, stood a woman with a bloody mask on her face.
The bright red knot was wrapped around her jet-black hair and tied at the back of her head, revealing a pair of dark eyes as dark as obsidian, peaceful, calm and steady.
She was wearing a kimono embroidered with cherry blossoms and silently took the takoyaki from the enthusiastic owner.
The slightly cool wind blew through her dark hair, like willow branches swaying in spring. She lowered her head slightly, and a bamboo skewer pierced down, revealing a hot takoyaki that overflowed with delicious juice.
She walked in wooden clogs, passed the crowd looking for a spot to watch the fireworks, rejected several men who approached her, and came to an empty hill.
After carefully wiping the smooth stone with a white cloth, she sat down, facing the slowly flowing stream.
She stretched out her hand.
The bamboo stick that poked the takoyaki was pinched between her two fingers. With a slight force of her wrist, the round takoyaki fell down and fell into the flowing stream, and soon floated farther and farther away.
She watched the takoyaki disappear into the distance.
She held the paper bowl in her hands, and the red string in her hair fell beside her ears.
Through the pine needles and bamboo forest, she seemed to be able to see the bright smile of the girl who always chased her and called her sister.
The joint group told her that Mizushima Kawaharu had only accepted a special mission and was a free-moving observer. Sooner or later, the sisters would be able to meet again.
Mizushima Kawashima was willing to believe this, but gradually, she began to feel worried.
She and Mizushima Kawaharu have had telepathy since childhood, but one day during their stay in White Sand Paradise, she suddenly felt that the connection with her sister was gone, as if a thread had been suddenly broken.
She didn't believe that Mizushima Kawaharu would die. Haru was so smart and eccentric, even if he looked like a madman, she knew that Haru was a true genius.
Genius and madness are sometimes only one step away.
Qing seems to have endless new ideas, and her train of thought is something that ordinary people can never keep up with.
Mizushima Kawaseong didn't believe that someone as smart as her would die in any copy.
Sitting on an empty rock, she looked into the distance and saw the lake at the foot of the mountain.
She was in the annual celebration limited activity area, where people from different countries came to enjoy the celebration, and some people would release lanterns. The lake was the lantern activity area. At this time, orange-red lanterns of various shapes were floating on the clear water, like sparks flowing on the Milky Way.
She watched and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Her extremely high mental points enabled her to keenly spot the strong ones among a group of ordinary people. With a quick glance, she discovered a team of four people wearing masks.
A bright silver light shone in her eyes, and the next moment, the scene in the distance immediately became clear in her eyes.
The black-haired young man squatted down, pinched a corner of the lotus lantern with flickering candlelight, and gently pushed it out.
The edges of his figure were softened by the candlelight, as if ancient oil paint was flowing on his body.
The clear water supported the slightly swaying lanterns, making slight splashing sounds.
Soon, the lotus lantern flowed into the stream of lanterns like a drop of water, and gradually merged into one with the other lanterns.
In the brilliant light and shadow, his figure was made extremely soft by the candlelight, as if he had suddenly let down his guard.
...That is.
Mizushima Kawashima narrowed her eyes, and different figures kept flashing in her mind. After a moment, she compared the figures of the four people in the row.
Su Mingan, Nuoer, Lu Shu and Lin Yin...
She immediately stood up and left.
Although she was reluctant to believe it, she seemed to have a premonition, a spiritual premonition.
His sister's disappearance, or even death, was probably related to this guy Su Mingan...
If we can face each other in the eighth world,
At that time, she would definitely ask for clarification.
As for now, this guy has his birthday today, and she won't go over to disturb him. She is not such a tactless person.
The first player, his 19th birthday, a worldwide celebration...
Compared with the weight of this identity, this person is so young that it is frightening.
…
Noel took Su Mingan to many places.
The ancient town of Longguo and the torii of Fuso.
A worldwide gathering and annual lantern festival.
Yuguo Art Exhibition Hall and Glenguo's revolving corridor.
...and the 578-meter-high virtual structure, the Pearl Tower.
The Pearl Tower at night is like a spotlight, and it is particularly dazzling in the dark night with light snow. From afar, the extremely tall tower that stands tall like the sky seems to be supporting the entire dark night sky.
Go up the elevator to the observation deck on the highest floor, where visitors can look out through the full-length floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
They could see the rolling hills below, the bright red torii gates, the quaint buildings, the busy alleys, and the cross streets that were as lively as blood vessels.
A huge light screen is hung on the tall Pearl Tower.
On the screen, there was a line of large red characters. The characters looked like blood, and were as conspicuous as the aurora in the dark night:
