Click click click click click click.

There was a voice in the darkness.

rustling, rustling.

The subtle and chaotic sounds never stopped.

Delphinium stood in an empty hall, looking around in confusion.

Why are you here?
She felt that her memory was a little fuzzy, and her consciousness was not very clear, as if she was in an illusion, but the feeling was so real.

Stepping forward, the crisp sound of heels hitting the ground swayed in all directions, and the invisible sound waves turned into echoes, dispelling the chaotic sound.

After a brief silence, it was replaced by some kind of whispering sound.

The delphinium couldn't tell the source of the sound, there seemed to be men and women, old and young among them, but the only thing in common was that they were all laughing.

The snickering mixed with the echo of footsteps, overlapping and repeated, the sound gradually became sharper, and finally formed a kind of harsh noise.

The noise kept spiraling upwards, hitting her ears constantly, as if it was about to pierce the delphinium's eardrum, which made people feel a severe headache.

This real pain made Delphinium frown, and subconsciously used a spell to block out the sound.However, as she started to move, the harsh sound disappeared.

Echoes, voices, and laughter all dissipated, as if they never existed.Everything was back to the beginning, only the messy and faint noises in the darkness remained.

What exactly was that sound?
Delphinium was a little confused.

But just when she wanted to move forward and find out, a light suddenly appeared in her sight.

The dazzling light shot from behind her, casting her shadow on the ground in front of her, stretching it very long.She could see her swaying skirt in the shadow, and she could see Bonnet reflected in a round shape. There was no doubt that the complete human figure was herself.

The shadow that belonged to her was just like her own, standing quietly in place.

What kind of light is this?

Trying hard to use the sluggish consciousness to think, but it feels like the thinking is stuck together like a paste, unable to move at all.Doubts arose in her heart, delphinium wanted to turn around, but found that the shadow in her sight suddenly changed.

Very abruptly, just in the blink of an eye, as if a few frames of the video were cut out, another black shadow overlapping her appeared.After that, the black shadow flickered and swayed, but with the flickering, it gradually stretched itself out.

Something appeared behind him.

Delphinium realizes this.

However, she couldn't turn back.

The hairs all over her body stood up at this moment, her limbs became extremely cold and stiff, and her intuition from the bottom of her heart kept telling her not to look back.

At this moment, the shadow covering Delphinium's figure finally settled into a flickering shape, and appeared in front of Delphinium's eyes with incomparable clarity.

It was a bug with wings spread.

Or, more precisely in its form, a moth.

At this moment, delphinium finally realized that those originally weak and chaotic sounds were already close to his ears.

She raised her hand and looked up at her arm——

——[Dear passengers, please note, dear passengers, please note that this trip is over, and you have arrived at your destination, Fangting City. 】

"... Huh, ha!"

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yun suddenly opened his eyes and straightened up from his seat.

Subconsciously panting for a moment, he looked around in a daze, only to see that he was in a strange cabin.

The noisy environment around him and the radio above his head made him gradually recall where he was - he was on the land ship, on his way back to Fangting City from Bai'an City.

"I'm asleep?"

Whispering to himself, he turned his head to look at the side porthole, and saw his face faintly reflected on the reflective window.It wasn't until this moment that he realized that his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

It seems that I just had a nightmare.

Lin Yun can only confirm this now.

He took out the phone from his pocket, checked the time, and found that there were two missed calls in the message column.One of them was from Lin Xiaolu, and the other was from an unknown number.

Opening the lock screen and clicking on the message interface, he saw the message Lin Xiaolu left for him, which read: 【What time will you be home tonight? 】

This girl actually knows to care about this?

Lin Yun couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

You must know that now I am returning to Fangting City for the festival not as a delphinium, but as Lin Yun.Although the father-daughter relationship between him and Lin Xiaolu has eased a lot, there is still often no common topic. It is enough for his daughter to send such a message in advance.

He couldn't help but feel a little relieved about this, and his expression eased a little, and he typed in the message bar: [Go back in an hour. 】

This is also something that has been decided long ago, after all, today is the full moon festival.

As early as a few days ago, Lin Xiaolu sent a message to ask her father and delphinium, wondering if they would come back on the festival day.

She didn't know that these two messages of hers were finally put in front of the same person, and the temperature difference in the tone made Lin Yun smile bitterly.

It's just that he didn't use his identity as a delphinium to agree to the festival's request in the end.Of the two messages sent by Lin Xiaolu, he only gave an affirmative answer to one of them, and that was the one sent to Lin Yun.

As for Delphinium, he excused that the investigation was not over yet and he was busy with work, so he simply refused.

There are actually reasons for making such a choice. The most important point is that Lin Yun still hopes to spend the full moon festival with his daughter as a father.Even he knew that Lin Xiaolu might want to be with Delphinium more.

For the people in Donghua Prefecture, the Full Moon Festival is a festival with special symbolic meanings. This day places more emphasis on the reunion of blood relatives.

Maybe it would be easier to communicate with my daughter as a delphinium on weekdays, but the full moon festival is different.This is a festival that should belong to the family. Regardless of the wishes of both parties, he should spend it with his daughter as a father.This is not only his emotional selfishness, but also an explanation of their relationship.

The other reason is that he doesn't want to spend any more energy on brain-burning identity games during this rare holiday.

The investigation work in Bai'an City had cost him a lot of energy, and the sequelae caused by the excessive explosion of magic power in the battle with the spider had not been relieved, which made him feel migraines from time to time.

Now Lin Yun just wants to go home and enjoy the stable festival, and find a moment of peace of mind for himself.

After replying to the message from Lin Xiaolu, he followed the other passengers out of the land ship and officially set foot on the land of Fangting City.During the period, I also checked the call records, flipped through the missed calls, and called back the unknown phone number.

Unfortunately, no one got through.

Just when he thought it was just a wrong call from the other party, or a simple and boring prank, and then put down the phone, he suddenly felt the vibration of the incoming call.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be the unknown phone number.

After connecting the phone and putting the phone to his ear, Lin Yun asked with some doubts: "Hello, who is it?"

The "hissing" sound from the other end of the call made his breathing stagnate.

He remembered the voice.And the other party's next sentence seemed to be ready to come out because of this.

"……Be careful."

With the sound of this voice, Lin Yun seemed to have returned to the days when he first learned that Lin Xiaolu had become a magical girl five months ago.

The same unknown number, the same vague voice.And the same "careful" sentence.

Even though there were noisy crowds all around, he felt like falling into an ice cave in an instant, as if all the excitement had nothing to do with him.

"...It's you?" Realizing the purpose of this call, he immediately said in a deep voice, "What's the situation? Who are you? What's going to happen?"

"Hiss."

"Hey?"

"Watch out for tonight's... hiss."

The second half of the sentence on the other end of the phone was overwhelmed by the noise of the signal, so Lin Yun couldn't hear it clearly, so he immediately asked: "What did you say?"

"Be careful, tonight's..."

[beep, beep, beep]

However, this time, the other party didn't even finish the sentence, and the noise of "hissing" became the busy tone of the phone hanging up again.Tuliu Lin Yun stood among the crowd, looking at the phone with the screen turned off in his hand, his face sinking like water.
