Watching Gongben Naoki cover her face and weep bitterly, Hobu Tian and the others were all stunned.
But they didn’t speak.
Just now, Nishijou Kelian had been sending a stream of golden energy to Gongben Naoki, so it must have been so event they couldn’t understand that made her show such an expression, right?
Gongben Naoki, completely limp, hugged Nishijou Kelian, and it took a long ti before she cald down, stood up, and handed the stuffed doll to Beichuan Si, then bowed deeply to him:
"Thank you very much, Mr. Beichuan."
Beichuan Si waved his hand, "You don’t have to thank , if you really want to express gratitude, then thank her."
He pointed his hand at Nishijou Kelian.
Gongben Naoki indeed needed to thank Nishijou Kelian. The appearance of Gongben Naihu in Gongben Naoki’s consciousness was actually as a vengeful spirit, and without Nishijou Kelian calling back Gongben Naihu’s consciousness with kind thoughts, Gongben Naihu would have certainly launched an attack on Gongben Naoki.
Gongben Naoki looked over.
She saw Nishijou Kelian perched on Beichuan Si’s shoulder, still spiritedly raising her little head.
She jumped up, clinging to Beichuan Si’s ear, with her little head still bobbing slightly.
Beichuan Si, listening, nodded his head and then said to Gongben Naoki, "She says, you can fully trust Nishijou Kelian."
"Nishijou Kelian? Is that her na?" Gongben Naoki looked evenly at Nishijou Kelian.
The little stuffed doll moved its head up and down to indicate it accepted her thanks.
As the interaction between Gongben Naoki and her ca to an end, Beichuan Si also spoke indifferently, "Since the matter has been resolved, let’s head to the next scene."
This apartnt building must represent sothing.
According to that clown, next should be to find the apartnt related to him... which is his ho.
"In other words, what we need to do next is to look for the ho of Shikizaki Haru," Beichuan Si scanned briefly.
On the dark corridor above, the sa type of apartnt rooms were lined up.
After Beichuan Si finished speaking, he walked further inside, eyes continuously scanning over the door numbers.
After passing three apartnt rooms, Beichuan Si found the surna ’Shikizaki’ on a tal naplate missing a corner.
To be precise, the Shikizaki family was simply too distinctive for Beichuan Si to easily overlook.
The security door was broken and tattered, bearing marks of being kicked and even vandalized.
On this battered security door, there was also paint whose surface had turned black, and the pungent sll made one involuntarily frown.
"Is this the Shikizaki ho?" Hobu Tian said incredulously.
After all, Shikizaki was the manager of an amusent park, and the salary from that position should have prevented such a dire situation.
Beichuan Si narrowed his eyes, instinctively reaching out to touch the apartnt’s security door handle.
A sensation of the world spinning ca over him.
When Beichuan Si looked up again, Hobu Tian and the others had disappeared, replaced by a landscape under the slanting sun.
Cursing n were banging heavily on the security door while coldly snorting as they threw buckets of paint in front of the Shikizaki’s door.
It took a while before they left angrily, kicking the ragged door a couple of tis.
Shortly after they left, a pale-faced man timidly peeked out from the security door, glancing around before letting out a quiet breath.
This had to be Shikizaki Haru himself.
But what was the situation with that group of people just now?
Throwing paint on the door did have a connotation of debt collection.
But to call it debt collection seed sowhat illogical.
If we follow reason, Shikizaki Haru’s monthly salary should be more than enough to live comfortably, and he shouldn’t be facing any debt collection at all.
Beichuan Si watched as Shikizaki Haru, with a face bruised and swollen, bent down to wipe the security door.
After a while, a small head poked out from the gap in the door.
It was a little girl with a pink face and big eyes, looking sowhat tender and cute.
"Chuncai..." Shikizaki Haru’s face revealed a tender expression, reaching out to touch the little girl’s head.
Feeling Shikizaki Haru’s touch, Shikizaki Chuncai looked up, asking in a childish voice:
"Daddy, when will Mommy co ho? Chuncai misses her."
Upon hearing this, Shikizaki Haru’s fingers couldn’t help but tremble, and after a long while, he shook his head palely, saying in a tone that was nothing unusual, "Mommy has gone to a faraway place, it will be a long ti before she returns. Just wait a bit more, Chuncai."
Their conversation continued, but the environnt around Beichuan Si was stretching and changing. After about ten seconds, Beichuan Si finally snapped back to reality.
That was... Shikizaki Haru and his daughter?
’Mommy has gone to a faraway place...’
Beichuan Si couldn’t help but ponder.
"Mr. Beichuan, what happened?"
Everyone had been surrounding Beichuan Si for five or six minutes now, during which ti Beichuan Si hadn’t spoken, just staring thoughtfully at the security door handle in front of him.
"I saw so things," Beichuan Si replied offhand, having so ideas, but since those were just hypotheses, he didn’t go into details, instead twisting his wrist to open the room’s door.
In the dark entryway, two pairs of shoes were neatly placed, one pair of red round-toe leather shoes for a little girl, and one pair for an adult.
