What's Wrong with the World
Chapter 13
When they went out, even though Nainai and the rest were strolling with them, they only followed behind them from a distance. This gave the children their own space and prevented them from feeling uncomfortable when the adults were around. It also ensured that the children wouldn't walk out of their line of sight.
This arrangement made Yukimura and Sanada feel relieved. Iulio looked at the two dispirited people and rubbed his nose. "Cheer up, young people.
I have a premonition that this trip will definitely not disappoint you. "
Yukimura was a little surprised. "So it's not just a prank?"
Iulio pursed his lips. "You think too much. If it was just a prank, it wouldn't have involved so many people. It would have been fine to invite uncle and auntie to attend the ceremony tonight."
Yukimura: "…"
"Thank you for showing mercy."
"…"
Radical 145 looked at the two people in front of him and quickly walked to Iulio's side. "Is there anything special here?"
"I don't know. I just feel that the air here is particularly good. Don't you feel it?"
Iulio scratched his head. "And the closer we are to the volcanic lake, the better. I feel a lot more relaxed."
Radical 145 and Yukimura looked at each other, then at Sanada.
Sanada shook her head and looked at Ah Gang.
Ah Gang took a deep breath. "It seems to be a little, but if you don't feel it carefully, you won't notice it. Yuri is really amazing."
Ah, sorry, people who are not amazing at all can't feel it at all.
However, even if they did not feel any difference in the air, the scenery here made the trip worthwhile.
It was clearly winter, and there were fallen leaves and dead branches, but there was a sense of vitality here.
When they arrived at the Suwon River, the group was momentarily dazed.
Today, the entire lake was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, and the mist was vast and sparkling.
The sun shone on the lake, casting golden spots.
A gentle breeze blew past, and the smoke moved along with the water. Sparse shadows were everywhere, and it was not an exaggeration to say that this was a paradise on earth.
There was indeed no one else around. Apart from the occasional chirping of birds, there was only the sound of their footsteps.
"Hey, Yuri, this place is so beautiful!!!"
After coming back to his senses, Ah Gang couldn't help but exclaim loudly. He didn't have many words to use right now, so "beautiful" was the best adjective he could think of.
Yukimura looked at Ah Gang, who was wearing a red scarf and running a few steps forward excitedly. Then, she looked at the little girl beside her who was wearing the same scarf. She was slightly stunned and said subconsciously, "It is indeed beautiful."
Iulio felt like he was floating in the air. He couldn't help but stretch lazily. "Of course. Don't you know who chose this place?"
For a moment, Radical 145 didn't know whether to praise her or ridicule her. However, he was still a little puzzled. "It's strange. Such a beautiful place should have been a tourist attraction. Why is there not even a shadow of a person?"
When he said that, everyone was also a little puzzled.
Sanada seemed to have thought of something. "No, no shadow of a person. Could there be, could there be other things …"
Yukimura smiled. "I didn't expect Sanada to know so much about the supernatural."
Iulio swore that she clearly saw the ahoge on Xiao Lan's head stand up for a moment. She unconsciously moved closer to the crowd. She said in surprise, "So sister Xiao Lan is afraid of ghosts?"
Xiao Lan forced herself to calm down. "Not really. It's mainly because I can't see it, so my imagination is scarier."
Radical 145 snorted disapprovingly. "How could there be ghosts in this world? That's an old trick that adults use to scare children."
Iulio agreed with this point. Take her previous life as an example, the strangest thing she had ever seen was all kinds of strange celestial beings.
Moreover, if there were ghosts, how many evil spirits would have been born on that battlefield …
Then, they saw Ah Gang, who had been walking in front, suddenly stop and slowly turn around. He squeezed out a smile on his face. "Yuri, did you hear something?"
Yuri was puzzled. "No."
Radical 145 looked smug. "Ah Gang, did you mistake the sound of the wind for something?"
Ah Gang heaved a sigh of relief. "Is that so? That's great. I thought I heard children crying ~"
Before he finished speaking, a clear sobbing sound came from the wind …
Everyone's movements froze, and their expressions sank into the shadows.
Xiao Lan looked stiffly at Radical 145. "Hey, Xiao Jing, is that the sound of the wind?"
Radical 145: "…"
At this moment, Ah Gang's sobbing voice sounded. "Mom, mom and the others are gone!"
Iulio turned around abruptly and found that Nainai and the others, who had been following them not far away, had completely disappeared!
A gust of wind blew. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but Iulio felt a bone-piercing chill that made her hair stand on end.
So, has this world finally torn apart its peaceful facade and unveiled its painted skin to me?
Although she didn't feel guilty at all when she bullied little kids, as the one with the oldest mental age (really?), she had to calm down and bring these little kids home unscathed.
She picked up a thick branch from the ground and waved it in her hand. It felt pretty good.
Sanada saw Yuri's actions and asked doubtfully, "?
Has the G Tian learned swordsmanship before? "
"Please call me Master Iulio!" Iulio took a deep breath. "Ah, I learned it in another world."
After that, she walked forward and grabbed Ah Gang by the back of his collar, dragged him to the back, and ordered Radical 145 to keep a close eye on him.
Then she looked at everyone and waved her hand. "Boys, follow behind me. Don't get lost." She sneered. "Let's see who's playing tricks!"
Of course, the boys refused to hide behind the girls. Then, they were mercilessly suppressed by Iulio. "Losers don't have the right to speak!" Seeing that they still wanted to resist, Iulio's patience ran out.
In the end, Radical 145 and the others followed Iulio silently with bruises on their heads. Xiao Lan brought up the rear. Of course, this position was also decided by strength.
They wrapped their hands together with scarves and walked back first. According to the general rule of horror movies, curiosity really killed the cat.
Ten minutes later, everyone was silent as they looked at the arrow under their feet.
Iulio tightened the branch in her hand and looked up. "Let's go. Let's see who the other party is."
There was one thing that Iulio didn't say. She always felt that the other party didn't have any malicious intentions.
However, this feeling came too inexplicably. She couldn't let her guard down yet.
Everyone followed the sound and explored along the path. Finally, they stopped under a dead tree. Ah Gang heard the intermittent sobbing coming from the dead tree and said in fear, "Is it a tree spirit?"
As if frightened by Ah Gang's voice, the sobbing suddenly stopped.
Iulio raised her eyebrows. It seemed that he was still a coward.
She took a big step forward and went around the trunk. Sure enough, there was a tree hole.
A thin and weak child was huddled in the tree hole with his hands hugging his knees. He raised his head and looked at her blankly.
A gust of wind blew, lifting the child's short brown hair and allowing Iulio to see the wound on his forehead.
"Who are you?"
"Are you a human?"
The child asked.
…
When the group pulled the child out of the tree hole, it was obvious that the child was a little reserved.
Iulio thought of the way the child looked at her just now. For some reason, she suddenly felt like she saw herself in the past.
It was as if her soul was crying.
He was looking forward to someone coming to help him.
Telling herself that your existence is right.
… You're not alone.
When the group found that the source of the crying was a child, they were relieved.
However, when they saw that Yuri was unusually silent, they were at a loss.
At this time, Ah Gang suddenly asked, "Were you crying just now?"
"Yes." The child twisted the corner of his clothes uneasily.
"Why are you crying?"
"…"
Ah Gang thought for a moment. "My name?
G Tian Tsunayoshi, these are my friends. We got lost in the forest and found you because we heard your voice.
Don't be afraid. "
"What's your name?"
After a moment of silence, the child still lowered his head and answered softly,
