I, Hikigu, are contained by the evil god

Chapter 10 Walking Side by Side; Leapfrog Asking for Instructions ([-] in [-])

"So this is ah……"

It was then that Hikiya understood the real reason why Kaguya had been panicking.

... He understood, and now he even felt a sudden realization.

He just thought it was understandable after Kaguya woke up from the dream, but it was strange to have such violent mood swings after staying here for so long, because this was not at all like what a seasoned and experienced detective should have. Performance.

——When Kaguya said this, Bi Qigu suddenly became cheerful, and put himself in the situation, if he had encountered this kind of thing himself, he would have more or less similar emotions and states.

Detectives are not afraid of death, because they know that they die so that others don't have to die... So conversely, what many excellent detectives are most afraid of is implicating important people around them because of themselves.

Hikigu was like this, so he decided to go to hell; Kaguya was also like this, so she was panicked.

"..." Hikigu pursed his lips, looked into Kaguya's eyes, his eyes flickered but he didn't know what to say.

He wanted to say a lot, such as "I didn't expect you to care about me so much", or "I'm very touched, but we can face it together", or "This is not about you alone" or something...

But in the end, many times he swallowed the words as they came to his lips, because he felt that those words could not completely and accurately express what he wanted to express at this time.

All he knew was that Kaguya was indeed an excellent detective, whether it was character, habits or skills, he was ashamed of the little doubt he felt just now.

He considered his words for a long time, but before he could finish his decision, Kaguya had already opened his mouth to meet Hikigaya's gaze, "If it's just me, it's fine anyway, my self-regulation ability is not as good as you imagined." It's that bad."

"...But you must not misunderstand," Kaguya was startled again that there seemed to be ambiguity in what he said just now, and said to comfort Hikiguchi, "I definitely didn't mean to say anything about you, nor did I express anything."

She was worried that Hikigu would blame herself, because his existence made Kaguya very worried... After all, Kaguya knew that Hikigu had a very strong character of "the last thing he wants to cause trouble to others".

"Then what are you going to do now?" Hikigu asked Kaguya in a low voice,

Hikiya also has his own worries, he is worried that Kaguya will bear everything by himself because of this, and he will not be implicated... But in fact, he is very happy to be implicated.

He felt that Kaguya was really likely to do that, but Bi Qigu definitely didn't want Kaguya to do that.

Kaguya looked at Hikigaya's worried gaze, blinked his eyes in confusion, and suddenly understood what Hikigaya meant, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and his voice was very soft, "Oh... I may understand your worry."

"—But you don't have to worry."

She shrugged and smacked her ruddy and juicy lips,

"If Sister Ellie only said that I was the protagonist of the incident and you were a supporting role passively involved, then I would definitely leave you behind and run away by myself...Although we always said you because of this before."

Kaguya narrowed his eyes with a smile, his voice became softer and softer, the gentle and calm voice made people inexplicably calm,

"But sister Ellie, didn't you still say that? You are the key to saving me. We must be bound together to get through this difficult time. No one can do it alone."

"It's different from someone. Although I'm not afraid of death, I don't force myself to be brave."

"--so,"

Kaguya sighed helplessly,

"Let us face the future setbacks together, although I don't know what the future is waiting for us."

She stood up again, looked down at Hikigu, bent slightly half jokingly and half seriously, and said to him:

"Little girl Shinomiya Kaguya, please leave to Mr. Hikigaya."

Hikiya was a little at a loss by Kaguya's sudden action, and subconsciously replied, "Ah, this...okay."

What Hui Ye said was indeed a bit strange...but the meaning has been successfully conveyed.

After Hikigu pondered over Kaguya's meaning, he finally heaved a sigh of relief, letting go of his heart.

It's good not to be brave, although I don't know what exactly I have to deal with, but with his presence than Qigu, at least it can give Kaguya an extra layer of insurance that is fairly reliable.

It is no exaggeration to say that Valaka, the evil gods behind the ghouls, he has seen such big guys as Babylon and the beast of 666, and there are few things in the mysterious world that can make Biqigu particularly uneasy, so He can calmly face the storm and waves with Kaguya with as calm and calm a mind as possible.

...As for Hui Ye, her state of mind at this time is actually more calm than that of Qi Gu.

Of course she will still be afraid and uneasy, but when she thinks that she will be with Hikigu most of the time when she goes out in the future, she feels a lot more at ease, and an inexplicable sense of security fills her heart, stuffing her chest bulging .

... She even had an emotion called "expectation" in her heart.

"Then, if there's nothing else, I'll go first." Kaguya exhaled, and bid farewell to Hikigu suddenly,

"Huh?" Hikigu felt quite sudden, "Why did you just leave?"

"Yeah." Kaguya nodded, turned around and walked towards the bedroom door without waiting for Hikigu to say anything, "Facts have proved that my decision to come to you is very correct, but I can't delay your sleep anymore... and I It's time to go back to sleep."

"Well... that's fine, then go back and rest." Hikigu nodded, "Don't worry too much after you go back, Sister Ellie said, if you stay at home, nothing will happen."

In fact, Ellie said that there should be no accidents, not that there will be no accidents. The direction of fate is always full of too many variables. Everyone knows this... But at least after Ellie said so, Kaguya and Hikigaya stayed at home When you can feel at ease in your heart, you won't be panicked every day. In the end, nothing happens, and you have exhausted yourself first.

Kaguya nodded, opened the bedroom door lightly, and turned off the light in Hikigu's bedroom.

At this time, the light outside the window can already illuminate the room through the tightly drawn curtains, and the sky is already very bright after five o'clock in August in summer.

Hikigaya stood up to send Kaguya off. After the two of them walked out of the bedroom, neither of them made any movement, they kept silent without looking at each other, and even held their breath subconsciously, because they all knew that Komachi was sleeping soundly in the room, and no one wanted to wake her up.

Sending Huiye to the entrance, Hikigu opened the door for Huiye, and the two separated.

When Kaguya was about to leave, he turned his head and waved to Hikigaya, "Sleep well, it doesn't seem long before we can meet again."

"...Indeed." Bi Qigu nodded, then curled his lips, "Then wake up and see you later."

From now on, they will spend most of their time together every day... It sounds very ambiguous, but it is actually just the task of the detective.

But I don't know if it's Hikigu's illusion, how does he feel that Kaguya not only doesn't feel sad or helpless about being deprived of freedom, but even looks forward and happy?

...It must be an illusion, right?

After Kaguya left, Hikigu gently closed the door, returned to the bedroom, did not go to bed, but pulled out the chair, sat at the desk and meditated silently.

He found a piece of white paper, picked up a ballpoint pen and wrote and drew on the white paper unconsciously, with a lot of thoughts in his mind,

He remembered the prophecy guidance that Sister Ellie had just said, and planned to figure out something from it.

"The undercurrents under the river are turbulent. You must survive the interlacing of the three undercurrents without being crushed."

——What are the three undercurrents?three things?Three forces working together to do one thing?

"What's behind the scenes, what's old, what's gone, what's gone may all return, and you have to distinguish friend from foe among them, and they will be the key to solving your problems."

——That is to say, there may be friends here?So it is necessary to first distinguish who is the enemy and who is the friend?

"The appearance of the snake means the beginning of everything, buried in the dust of history, two rotten people will crawl out.

——What is "appearance of the snake", and what does the snake here symbolize?What else do you mean by "two rotten people?" Do you mean dead people, or mummies?

"Pay attention to five key convergences, they can transform the people around you, but you should pay attention to the good and bad things are always two sides of the same coin."

——The keyword "five keys" sounds very important, Hikigu silently marked this word in his heart.

"You may fail, and you may get everything you want. If you succeed, you will become emperor, but the road before that is full of too many tests."

"..."

There is a lot of truth in just a few words of prophecy. Through these few words, Bi Qigu seems to have seen a secret place full of deep fog, and layers of fog tightly cover the things behind it.

——This is really a bald question. The more Bi Qigu thought about it, the more confused he became, and his thoughts became chaotic.

However, Hikigu has the methods and experience to deal with this kind of thing. When the prophecy of hazy clouds and mist appears, if you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it for the time being.

It is better to temporarily change your thinking, maintain a good state, and then keep the prophecy in mind at all times, so that when you encounter something or someone that fits the prophecy, you can immediately correspond to it and generate new ideas.

Bi Qigu pursed his lips, stopped thinking about those prophecies, raised his hand to touch the mobile phone on the table, hesitated to take it, and hesitated.

He wants to call Sakaski to inquire about something... because he now suspects that Kaguya has an inexplicable relationship with Hell, and according to Ellie, he may even take Kaguya with him when he goes to Hell , However, that is not only dangerous, it can even be said to be a bit whimsical, and even the top executives of the association will not agree.

But the time is a little awkward.The time zone of Baghdad, Iraq is five hours behind Japan. In other words, it is more than five o'clock here in Biqigu, and it is already past twelve o'clock at night in Sakalski.

This time is too late, and generally no one will call people at this time.

Hikigu was worried that it would affect Sakaski's rest. After all, he couldn't tell whether Sakaski was working overtime late at night or had already gone to bed.

If it's not necessary, Bi Qigu really doesn't want to disturb Sakaski at this time, let alone it's just a dream.

…… Objectively speaking, for a subordinate who is not sure whether it is a nightmare of an apocalypse dream, directly contacting the supreme commander of the Asia Society in the middle of the night, this is a vicious leapfrogging behavior, and it is a shameful privilege and willfulness.

"..." Bi Qigu struggled for a long time, sat at the desk and stared at the phone, his expression changed several times, and finally he gritted his teeth and got through the phone.

——Even if he was scolded, he still had to make this phone call. The privileges he had earned with all his might were, after all, valuable for the important people around him.

As for Shinomiya Kaguya, whether it was his previous behavior or Kaguya's performance of paying attention to Hikiya tonight, it was enough for Hikiya to say without hesitation that she was certainly one of the important people around him.

How should I put it... Unknowingly, these reliable partners who fought side by side with Hikigu also became the target and motivation of Hikigu to fight desperately. This matter is very subtle, but the overall feeling is not bad.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

It didn't take long for Hikigu to call Sakaski successfully.

Facts have proved that Sakalski will not take a break at this time. He is still working in the office at such a late hour. He is obviously an old man in his 60s and [-]s, but he always seems to have endless energy.

"I'm Sakalski." Sakalski's meticulous and hoarse voice came from there, the voice was so loud that Hikigu felt at ease when he heard it.

"It's [-]:[-] a.m. Japan time. You must not be calling me to exchange pleasantries and chat, right?"

"I can't hide it from you, Master." Bi Qigu nodded slightly in admiration.

Mr. Sakalski seems to have the habit of mentally calculating the time zone when receiving a call, just like Ellie, so he immediately discovered that the call was unusual... However, this is actually because he, the president of the Asia Society, carefully considered everything One of the manifestations is that he doesn't have the habit of this aspect, he just doesn't omit every aspect.

"What's the matter, make a long story short, but don't miss the important details."

"I understand." Hikigu's voice was low, his words were clear and his speech speed gradually accelerated, "My colleague, Detective Shinomiya Kaguya had a dream, and there is a high probability that it was an apocalyptic dream. The dream seems to be related to hell."

Sakaski raised his eyebrows, "Which hell?"

"It's not the hell of Lucifer and Satan." What Biqigu said now is almost the same as what Sakaski and Biqigu said back then, "it's the "Hell" of Dante."

...So Hikiya briefly described the content of Kaguya's dream.

"Because the dream was related to me, Agent Huiye found me late at night and told me about it, and then I contacted the fortune teller Ellie who was far away at the headquarters for help."

"Ellie said that Ellie and I will be involved in the same thing, and the best way is for the two of us to do things together, whether it's going out in the ordinary world or performing tasks in the secret world."

Biqigu briefly described the situation to Sakaski, and finally asked seriously:

"—Now I have reason to suspect that some unexpected things may happen to my mission to hell prison."

"So I need to ask you for instructions. Next, about Agent Kaguya, about hell, what should I do?"

……

……

Chapter 11 The Power of Bonds; This Is the Real Thing (Two in One)

"It's impossible for Kaguya to know about the existence of the hell prison... Could it be that you told her something?"

Hikigu told Sakaski that Sakaski had to put down the documents he was processing, his face became more and more serious, and his eyes were very serious... He realized the seriousness of the matter.

He knows hell and prison better than Biqigu, so now he has to admit that the dream described by Biqigu may indeed be related to hell and prison. They are too similar, whether it is the gatekeeper described or the shape of hell, or even the layers .

It even goes so far as to say that even the animals Kaguya met in the dream at the beginning, although there are no real hells and prisons, Dante's "Divine Comedy" mentioned the three beasts.

But this is something that should not be done. It is the most secretive and dangerous prison of the association, and it stands to reason that it will never have the slightest relationship with Kaguya.

If this is an apocalyptic dream, there is a certain probability that Kaguya will have a connection with this prison someday in the future. This so-called future can be a long, long time later, or it may be soon.

In the end, the general of the association has rich experience. At this moment, Sakaski immediately had four related guesses about Kaguya's dream.

One is that Kaguya's dream was not an apocalyptic dream, but she just happened to watch "The Divine Comedy" recently, and she dreamed about related scenes day by day and night by day... This possibility is not low, and it is Sakalski's last dream. desired option.

One is that Kaguya's dream is not an apocalyptic dream, but simply a nightmare that is very similar to hell... However, because Kaguya's description of hell is too vivid and similar, Sakaski thinks that this possibility is albeit Yes, but not much.

Another one is that Kaguya's dream is an apocalyptic dream, but her connection with hell and prison is not because of bad things, but because of other things, for example, one day in the future, Kaguya was sent there by mistake to be a prison guard Such a position... But there is a problem here, that is, how could Kaguya dream of Hiki Valley inexplicably?

The last one is that Kaguya's dream is an apocalyptic dream, and this dream is a bad thing, but I don't know if it will happen in a long time or now.

... These possibilities were all considered by Sakalski, but in the end he thought of Ellie's prophecy.

If the prophecy and the dream are combined, it seems that the first three possibilities he guessed will be infinitely reduced, and the last possibility will be greatly strengthened.

——This is also the last and most unbelievable thing Sakaski wants to see.

——The matter is of great importance, Sakaski did not answer Hikigu immediately, but slowly cleared his mind step by step.

"I, you know..." Hikigu replied seriously, "I have always kept my mouth shut, and it is absolutely impossible to do that."

"It seems that Kaguya may encounter some troubles." Sakaski narrowed his eyes, thinking that this matter is incredible, "but how can she get involved with hell and prison? And at the same time Does it concern you?"
