Chapter 91 First meeting, the glass bird's nest

Yukinoshita Saya just hid in Hui Yuanchu's arms.

After arriving at the station, she naturally hugged Hui Yuanchu's arm, clinging to him as closely as possible as if she was afraid of everything outside, and walked out of the station together.

She didn't let go until she reached the street outside the station.

Then, before Hui Yuanchu could ask anything, Saya suddenly shook her body and slowly squatted down.

At first, Huiyuan thought she was just dizzy when she suddenly saw the sun, but soon realized that something was wrong with her appearance, and immediately called, "Hey, Snow? Are you okay?"

Yukinoshita Saya's face was covered in cold sweat, and she clutched her bandaged hand tightly. Her trembling breaths leaked from between her clenched teeth, as if she was enduring some kind of pain.

"Wait a minute, I'll find someone for help right away." Hui Yuanchu decided to contact Ling Li immediately.

But as soon as he took out his mobile phone, he was pulled.

Yukinoshita Saya was still squatting there with her head lowered, but she reached out and grabbed his cuffs.

She shook her head.

You mean don't call anyone?During the moment when Hui Yuan hesitated, Yukinoshita's breathing quickly calmed down.Therefore, Hui Yuanchu finally put down his phone.

He just helped her to the side of the flower bed and asked her to sit down, and then he sat down next to her.

Yukinoshita Saya continued to close her eyes and hold her wrist, as if she was meditating.

Hui Yuan initially paid attention to her condition with the corner of his eye and sat silently aside.

While Yukinoshita was resting, he could just review the two major pieces of news he had just received:

——The progress node of the system task has advanced one level.

——The group detects that Setsuko Matsumoto’s ascension to the spirit has deepened.

These two things happened almost at the same time.And if we explore the connection between them...

Setsuko Matsumoto is a decapitated ghost, so the deepening of her ascension naturally triggers the advancement of system mission nodes.

Yukinoshita Saya also has a deep connection with Matsumoto Setsuko, and it can even be said that she indirectly determines the target of the Beheading Demon's victims.So the next task node of the mission to behead the ghost is focused on her?

...So, what happened to Setsuko Matsumoto?
Haiyuan took out his mobile phone and opened Rei Li's chat box: "What happened to Setsuko Matsumoto again? Is there any definite news?"

Rei's frustrated voice soon sounded: "...No, we didn't even find any trace of Setsuko Matsumoto. Since leaving after fighting with you last night, she seemed to have completely disappeared from this world, without any trace. Not left."

"So, where is she hiding?" Hui Yuanchu guessed.

"It doesn't matter where she hides, that's not the point." Lingli's voice was a little irritated, "We should all be able to at least observe the traces...but no, this is the most unreasonable thing."

"What exactly do you mean by traces?"

Rei Li sighed deeply: "Another major event on the scale of a building was cut down. It cannot be concealed. This kind of thing must have happened around Setsuko."

"Because the gray level of the starry sky has risen?" Hui Yuanchu understood, "...but not necessarily, right? Isn't the process of ascension slowly increasing without anyone noticing?"

Just like Tamaki Yumiko.Yumiko's dream is a reflection that the "water level" of ascending spirits has risen to the level of consciousness.

But it was because she had developed to this point without any external signs that she caught Oroku Aoi's attention.

"But this time it didn't rise unnoticed, but it suddenly rose a lot. This kind of jump must have been triggered by something."

"...Okay. Then let me know if there is any progress." Hui Yuanchu said.

"Okay. I will continue my work and won't keep an eye on you. If you need anything, call me immediately."

He glanced at Yukinoshita Saya again, and typed another line in the chat box: "By the way, what kind of injury did Yukinoshita's arm suffer? Wasn't she always wearing a bandage on her hand? Just now. Suddenly he held his forearm, looking very painful."

"Wait a minute - there is no record in the data, and there are no medical records in major hospitals. So, at least it's not a big problem like amputation if you don't go to the hospital."

"Okay, thank you." Hui Yuanchu thanked him seriously.

He glanced at Yukinoshita's side and confirmed that she had indeed recovered - so, maybe it was a somatic symptom of some kind of psychological problem, right?he thought.

There was a moment of silence on the headset, and Lingli finally said quietly: "This is the first time you have been so polite."

Hui Yuan didn't respond at first, he just rolled his eyes that no one could see.Bickering is just a pastime in your free time.But now, he is very serious.

After these words, the communicator in his ear fell into silence. It seemed that Rei Li had left.

Haiyuan began to think about how to speak to Yukinoshita Saya.

He admitted that he would have paid attention to Yukinoshita Saya, and to a greater extent he was just curious about the girl's existence.

So at the very beginning, "Saya Yukinoshita was related to the incident" was purely an excuse for him to explain to Oruru Aoi and others why he wanted to pay attention to her.

But as the situation developed, Haiyuan did not expect that Yukinoshita Saya would really occupy an important position in the incident.Even the system instructed her to be the breakthrough point in the incident...

Hui Yuanchu turned his head while thinking.

Yukinoshita Saya had regained her composure, just sitting there quietly with her head lowered, staring at her arms, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Xue Zhi." Hui Yuanchu asked cautiously, "Are you okay?"

Saya hesitated for a moment, still lowering her head, but nodded gently.

Hui Yuanchu let out a long breath and suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment.

This was the third time he stood in front of Yukinoshita Saya, but it was the first time the two met.

Be it that evening at the Sports Warehouse, or that night when he went to the Motoyuki Club... To Yukinoshita Saya on those two occasions, he was a non-existent person.

Until today, on the train, Yukinoshita Saya's pleading look was the first time she really looked at him.

So Hui Yuan had a hunch that the conversation with her today might be successful.

Indeed, now Yukinoshita Sando responded to him for the first time.

...Even if it's just the simplest way of shaking your head and nodding, isn't it a milestone breakthrough compared to completely ignoring it before?
Hui Yuanchu felt that the next thing he should do now was——

A: All in one go.

B: Save it quickly.

Of course it’s A!Huiyuan was eager to try——

The next moment, system texts suddenly appeared overwhelmingly, blocking his entire field of vision and covering Yukinoshita Saya.

[Side mission: The wish to behead the ghost (2/5)]

[Explore the interior of Yukinoshita Sandyro's scabbard. 】

[Saya Yukinoshita's scabbard is unlocked and slightly shaken, but it is still not completely open to you.Your choice at this time is:]

[A choice will appear:]

[A: Ask your doubts immediately]

[——Reward: Trigger the ending immediately (5%: normal ending, 95%: destroyed ending)]

[——Warning: This choice may lead to a broken ending! ! ! 】

[——Warning: This choice may lead to a broken ending! ! ! 】

[——Warning: This choice may lead to a broken ending! ! ! 】

[B: Give Yukinoshita Saya time to struggle]

[——Reward: One reminder card. 】

Hui Yuanchu immediately shut up.

Although Hui Yuan had a lot of questions to ask at first, the system made it very clear - [-]% of triggering the "destruction ending", and the whole thing would be over if he said something bad.

Hui Yuanchu sighed and suddenly realized that what he was doing was a bit like building a bird's nest with glass branches.

If you're not careful, it might break into pieces.

With a thought in his mind, he first chose B in the system.

Sure enough, nothing happened...ah, it was a good thing nothing happened.

"How about adding a WeLine friend first?" He thought for a moment and took out his phone. "If you have any other troubles in the future, you can contact me directly."

Yukinoshita Saya didn't move at all.

Hui Yuanchu had no choice but to open his WeLine account page and put it in front of Yukinoshita: "Then remember my account first and add it when you want to add it."

Yukinoshita Saya nodded slightly again.

After seeming to hesitate for a moment, she raised her head and glanced at Hui Yuanchu quickly.

Before Haiyuan could understand what she meant, Yukinoshita Saya had lowered her head again, then stood up and walked towards the school.

Hui Yuan suddenly realized.

He followed her silently, keeping a distance of about ten steps.
