Chapter 591 – The Reappearing Country
Lin Qiye looked around, his eyes filled with confusion.
He didn’t know what had happened.
His memories were still stuck in the moment when he confronted that white-haired old man outside the Great Xia border, in the mist.
He remembered that person putting his hand on the hilt of his sword, and then it was as if his entire body was frozen, his body and mind coming to a standstill at the same time, and by the time he woke up, he was already here ……
Where is this?
Where are the others?
His eyes swept around, this is a ordinary gravel beach, except with a strangely dressed, full of fear of the little girl, the surrounding no longer see the figure of others.
The other team members weren’t in this neighborhood.
In the end, Lin Qiye’s gaze still landed on the little girl with a face full of fear.
He suddenly felt that this little girl’s dress seemed a bit familiar, and he always felt like he had seen it in some book …… as if it was some course mentioned in the intensive training camp.
That little girl vigilantly sized up Lin Qiye for a moment and tentatively opened her mouth to ask:
”Jun is dead?” (“So you’re not dead?”)
”?”
Lin Qiye fell into a deep daze as he listened to her gabble out a sentence ……
He couldn’t understand it.
But at this moment, he finally remembered where he had seen these things before.
When he was in the intensive training camp, there was a course dedicated to the cultural differences between the countries of the world before the mist descended, as a way to bring out the myths and legends of many different regions, he knew what countries were in the world before the mist descended, and he also knew the general cultural differences between them, but all of this was written knowledge, and he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, so he couldn’t think of it somewhat for a while.
Now, though, he could pretty much pinpoint where this place was.
Cherry blossoms, kimonos, language …… This is Japan?
Lin Qiye froze in place for a long time and once again looked around.
Low gravel shallows, lined with towering cliffs, the wall is a narrow highway, the road can still vaguely hear the hum of vehicles driving by. In the distance, the sky was blue as a wash, the waves rolled in from the end of the field of vision, white and pure, and the white clouds in the sky swung by leisurely, as if in a painting ……
How is this possible?
Japan, wasn’t it long ago swallowed up by the mists?
Lin Qiye clearly remembers that during the training camp, the instructor had already said that Japan was now completely shrouded by the mists, and there were no survivors at all, and that the former [Blue Rain] squad had similarly brought back the news of Japan’s demise after they chased the Orochi Orochi into the mists.
This should have been a dead city shrouded in mist, the entrance to Takatenkara, the home of the Japanese gods.
But now in front of his eyes, where there is half the appearance of a dead city?
When he looked around, even if he saw the end of the sea, he could not find any trace of the mists at all.
It was as if the mists had completely disappeared from this planet.
Lin Qiye stood in place like a statue, looking at the distant sea in a daze.
Yuzurina blinked and saw that Lin Qiye didn’t answer his question and spoke again:
”Privately, I’m talking to you, do you want to talk to me?” (“I’m talking to you, why are you still dumbfounded?”)
Lin Qiye looked back at this young girl in a black cherry blossom kimono, and after hesitating for a moment, he revealed a polite smile.
He also didn’t know what the other party was talking about, and he didn’t know what was going on in this country …… Right now, it was better not to reveal his identity as an outsider just yet.
Seeing Lin Qiye inexplicably smiling at himself, Yuzurina’s face became even more odd and continued to ask in Japanese:
”How many generations of folk are you? Where do you live? What’s the number?”
Lin Qiye smiled without saying anything.
Yuzurina suspiciously asked, “You …… wouldn’t be a mute, right? Or deaf?”
Lin Qiye smiled even wider.
It seemed to be a deaf person.
Yuzurina was certain of what was in her heart.
If he was a mute, even if he couldn’t speak, he should have been able to gesture twice or just flash his number, but it turned out that he didn’t react at all to what he said ……
There was something wrong with his ears!
Thinking about this, Yuzurina’s gaze towards Lin Qiye took on a few moments of pity.
Lin Qiye didn’t know what this little girl was thinking, but he always felt that there was something wrong with her expression, but he couldn’t seem to do anything except continue to laugh.
Yuzurina reached out her hand and was about to gesture something when the ear-piercing sound of a police siren came quickly from the highway above from.
The police car came to a stop beside the highway, followed by the voices of two men ringing out from overhead.
”This should be where the girl called from, split up and look to see if she’s still there.”
”It’s been so long, surely it’s over if you’re going to commit suicide?”
”Suicide is already a felony, and she chose to kill herself on the beach, breaking the ban on the sea, adding to the crime. If she’s still alive, we’ll just take her into custody and imprison her for life, and if she’s already dead, we’ll also have to recycle her body ……”
”Got it, I’ll go look down there first.”
Upon hearing this conversation, Yuzurina’s face instantly turned ugly, and a look of anxiety surfaced in her eyes.
Of course she knew that suicide was a felony, but she still chose to call the police station because she wanted to use the police’s mouth to speak of her death so as to achieve some of her goals …… But she didn’t expect that now that the police had come, she hadn’t died yet.
Now she is in the shallows, and then want to jump into the sea to kill herself is certainly not possible, even if you want to head into the sea to drown, those two police officers will also quickly fish her up, and wait until they are put in jail, it is really can’t beg for life, can’t beg for death.
Yuzurina’s brain was racing, and she quickly made a choice, sticking her body in the visual dead space below the wall and moving along the shoreline to the other side.
Just then, as if she thought of something, she turned back and pulled Lin Qiye’s arm again, solemnly saying to him:
”Follow me next and don’t make a sound!”
Although she didn’t know what Lin Qiye was, since he was also floating in the sea, it was likely that he had attempted suicide just like herself. Even if he hadn’t committed suicide, entering the sea privately had broken the sea ban, and it was hard to escape jail.
On the contrary, he was deaf and couldn’t hear that the two policemen had already started searching the place, and if he let himself go here, he could only end up being arrested.
Anyway, she was escaping alone, and it was just a matter of raising her hand to take him with her.
Lin Qiye couldn’t understand what Yuzurina was saying, but it seemed like she didn’t have any bad intentions, so he just nodded and followed her.
Yuzurina led Lin Qiye, lightly walking along the coastline for a few moments to a steep slope, barefoot and agilely climbing upwards.
When she flew up to the other end of the highway, she realized that Lin Qiye might not be able to climb such a steep slope as easily as she did, and was about to turn around to look, when a black-clothed figure gently landed beside her like a ghost.
