Chapter 55:

But there is nothing to hide.

"Well, Sanae will be leaving soon, leaving with Kanako and Suwako. Although there will be fewer opportunities to meet in the future, I won't feel sad because we will meet one day."

Xiao Zi bit her chopsticks lightly with her teeth, tilted her head and thought for a while, "Miss Sanae going to a far place?"

"A place called 'Gensokyo' is also a place that I will definitely go to in the future." Roman reached out and rubbed Xiao Zi's hair, then said in a vicious but unstressed tone, "Don't think I didn't see it. You put the cabbage clip in my bowl and eat it quickly!"

"Never!"

As a result, Xiao Zi grimaced at Roman and ran away with a bowl in hand.

- This unlucky boy.

Monsters have their own abilities... It should be said that I don't know if they are monsters. No matter what kind of creature, different individuals of the same creature have their own different skills. The mighty power of the ghost clan, and the confusion of the buffalo, these are the talents that belong to them and their lives. And the rare monsters such as "gap monsters" are no exception. They can hide in the shadows, lurk in the shadows, and take away people's sense of existence.

Recently, Xiao Zi has finally developed her own new ability. If you have to name it, it should be called "Shadow Shuttle".

Open shadow-to-shadow channels, and shuttle from one shadow to another. Not only Xiao Zi herself, but she can also transmit other things, just like Xiao Zi sent the chocolate bar from the cupboard to the school in the afternoon.

Roman suddenly felt that he had figured out why the snacks at home disappeared so quickly.

But Xiao Zi didn't deliver chocolate directly from home to school. This distance is too far, and it is impossible for Xiao Zi to do it. She left school, moved through the shadows to the apartment, took the chocolate bar from the cupboard and returned to Roman.

The trip took no more than five minutes. But it's also true. On weekdays, Roman needs to follow the road to travel from the apartment to the school, while Xiao Zi's shadow shuttle is a straight line, and the speed of the shadow shuttle is much faster than walking, so This time is not really short.

After dinner, Roman decided to go out because he needed to get money.

"Xiao Zi, I'm going to withdraw money, do you want to go with me?"

"Remember to buy me a patch when you come back."

"At least look at me when you talk."

After dinner, Xiao Zi couldn't wait to turn on the computer. That's right, now Xiao Zi finally realizes the charm of the Internet, but, but... Roman also finally realized what it's like to see a person fall. Two days ago, he was still a well-behaved child who clings to his father every step of the way. Why did he become an internet-addicted child in the blink of an eye?

——Hurry up and return that cute and well-behaved little purple to me!

Looking at Xiao Zi who waved his hand at him, his eyes fixed on the screen, and from time to time he made a strange uncle-like laughter, Roman growled in his heart.

But every time he wanted to say it, Roman would remember that he taught Xiao Zi how to surf the Internet and play games by himself, and suddenly felt like shooting himself in the foot. Fortunately, Yu Chuan left at noon yesterday, and he doesn't plan to come over tonight. If he is discovered, he will probably have to give a lecture again. Maybe he will lock the computer in order to break Xiao Zi back.

Roman's apartment is not far from the self-service bank. It is on the opposite road. After crossing the pedestrian overpass, turn left and turn 30 meters. Passing by a convenience store on the way back, Roman bought two puddings, but because of the small budget left, he could only buy a small amount of cheap stuff in the end.

It seems necessary to seriously look for a normal job.

When I took the elevator back to the apartment, I happened to hear the sound of the elevator next to it also coming to a stop, which means that the elevator next door also stopped on this floor. Roman's footsteps couldn't help but stop, feeling that something was wrong.

However, since moving in, Roman has rarely seen neighbors on the same floor. After all, this is an apartment, and we won't see each other day and night like an ordinary dwelling. It's not surprising that another person who lives next to the apartment may not see each other a few times in his life. Furthermore, there are several floors of the apartment that are uninhabited.

Roman looked back at the elevator entrance, and then saw a strange person coming out of the elevator.

Roman didn't know what kind of person he was, because the person in front of him was very tightly covered up.

The whole body is covered with a raincoat, and the whole face is hidden in the hood of the raincoat. He is hiding in the blind spot of the light, just carrying the light on his back. He was wearing black boots and rubber gloves on both hands, which looked excessive even on a rainy day, especially in a newly built apartment.

Just a glance at it brings to mind the word "suspicious". Roman hesitated for a while, and finally did not choose to go back home, but continued to walk past, walking towards the direction of the walking stairs.

It turned out that his choice was correct, and when he wanted to hide, the suspicious person who was hiding in his raincoat suddenly moved. Like a cannonball, it rushed towards him at a speed that Roman could not believe. Roman had already seen the raincoat man raise his fist and aim at his head to hit him. The terrifying speed and strength made people feel hopeless, and the sense of danger of death shrouded him.

However, Roman was already prepared, or it was a subconscious reaction. The pudding in his hand was thrown out at the man in the raincoat, and then his body rushed out to the stairs.

The collision between the raincoat and the pudding can no longer be seen, because Roman has already started to climb up the stairs, but from the pudding that splashed on him, the two puddings should have been smashed, but it was also squeezed out for Roman to escape. so much time.

Under the oppression of death, Roman, who lacks exercise, can also burst into a powerful potential. The speed of climbing stairs is not inferior to the speed of running on the flat ground, but the sign of death is far away, but it is getting closer.

Boom-boom-

The raincoat man's fist slammed against the wall at the entrance of the stairs.

Forgive Roman's use of the word "bump", because if the Raincoat Man is really a murderer, it must be an innocent murderer. Because He would use the powerful bounce force to leave the stairs from the landing at the bottom half of the floor, shoot like a feather arrow leaving a bowstring, and hit Roman who was on the upper half of the floor, but each time he could only hit him with his fists on the wall. This kind of straight-line shooting is very easy to avoid, but it does not mean that Roman is in danger, because the raincoat man is still aiming at him.

As long as Roman pauses for a while, only if he is approached by the raincoat man, Roman will definitely be killed.

Who is it? ——This question can no longer be considered, because the urge to escape is above all reason, and Roman even forgot where he was.

The constant crashing sound from downstairs told him that the man in the raincoat had never stopped his attack, and the approaching roar signaled the approach of death.

Finally, Roman found that he had no way to escape. Even the tallest building has a roof. What appears in front of Roman's eyes is the rooftop on the top floor, which will be the end of Roman's escape. The empty rooftop told him that climbing up was not a good choice, but fate would not allow him to make a new choice.

Despair filled Roman's brain in an instant.

No, he still has a choice. No matter how much you pretend, Romani Akiman has never been an ordinary person. Even if he wants to be an ordinary person to spend the rest of his life, when the red line of fate appears, Romani Akiman, who belongs to "ordinary people", will will disappear from the world.

Therefore, this was originally a dead end rooftop, and it was nothing to Roman at all.

The location is the top floor of the 30th floor, and the height is more than 100 meters. If you fall from this height and do free fall, you will definitely die. But also because of this height, Roman was able to react in time in the air. He only needed to bless himself with [Lightness] and [Float], and he could fall to the ground like a feather.

Roman ran to the edge of the rooftop and was about to jump off, but suddenly realized.

"Why should I run away?"

PS: I just found out that the number of words in the last chapter is 1900+, so let’s take it as a benefit for everyone. This chapter is 3000+, please keep it well (full attendance this month is getting more and more difficult).

Chapter 109 Chapter 74

Roman turned around and stared at the door of the rooftop. As soon as the man in the raincoat appeared in his field of vision, he would activate [Prison]. However, unexpectedly, Roman, who was ready, never heard the banging sound from downstairs. Standing on the rooftop, he felt the coldness of the evening wind, and it took several minutes to realize that he had been pigeon off by the raincoat man. .

So what is this? I finally made up my mind not to be a human being, why should I back down at the most important moment? Don't you know how difficult it is to muster courage?

A cold wind blew, and Roman shivered, and in the end he could only reluctantly accept this fact. But it also made Roman heaving a sigh of relief. Although it was said that a decision had been made just now, it was a helpless choice made under the pressure of death after all, and it was too different from Roman's own wishes.

But this does not mean that the threat has left, because who is the Raincoat Man and why he attacked Roman, these questions have not been resolved. Roman didn't know whether the raincoat man's attack on him was intentional or temporary. If it was the latter, it would be fine. If the raincoat man targeted Roman on purpose, then Roman's crisis may have just begun.

Roman passed through the gate of the rooftop and was about to go down the stairs. After leaving the rooftop and the howling of the evening wind, I heard footsteps from downstairs.

It was a very weak footstep, completely different from the reckless attack of the raincoat man. If it weren't for the absence of other noises on the stairs, Roman would not have been able to hear it.

After hesitating for a while, Roman finally decided to ask, "Who is it?"

"Dad." It was Xiao Zi's voice.

The footsteps disappeared, and the next moment, Xiao Zi appeared in front of Roman's eyes.

"Dad, are you alright?"

Xiao Zi couldn't care about the "mature name" anymore, she threw herself into Roman's arms and hugged him tightly.

Her body trembled slightly, and she kept talking about the fear in her heart, which made Roman hug her tightly.

"Xiao Zi, why are you here?"

After Roman was appeased, Xiao Zi revealed the reason why she was here.

It turned out that when Roman met the raincoat man, that is, on the floor of the house where he was, the movement of the raincoat man's attack on Roman had already alarmed Xiao Zi in the room.

At that time, the man in the raincoat smashed the pudding into pieces and bought Roman time to escape, but in the end, he punched the wall. Xiao Zi, who was still addicted to the Internet, was alarmed, for fear that this movement was related to Roman, so she ran out of the room. At that time, Roman and the man in the raincoat were already chasing in the stairs, but the pudding left in the corridor still let Xiao Zi know that Roman was involved.

So Xiao Zi used the ability of "Shadow Shuttle" to send over the impact sound without thinking. Because it was impossible to tell where Roman and the raincoat man were, Xiao Zi could only watch it layer by layer. When he finally saw the raincoat man, he opened the shadow channel without thinking and put the raincoat on. People were thrown downstairs in the apartment.

Losing the guidance of her voice, Xiao Zi was afraid that she would be at fault for Roman, so she could only use her legs to climb up one step at a time, and only activated her ability after hearing Roman's voice at last.

When Xiao Zi left the room, she was not wearing shoes. She kept climbing the stairs barefoot, and because she was in a hurry, she fell on the stairs several times, and her legs were already red and swollen.

"That bastard!"

That's right, the culprit in this incident was the attacker, the man in the raincoat.

In an instant, the ease of life after the catastrophe disappeared.

"Dad, let me take you back." "Please, Xiao Zi."

Xiao Zi didn't need to directly touch the shadow to activate his ability, and a sense of weightlessness suddenly appeared. After several repetitions of "fall-pause-fall-pause", Roman and Xiao Zi finally returned home.

Roman put Xiao Zi on the bed, and then said, "Wait a minute, Dad will put a potion on you."

Then he ran to the kitchen and took the medicine box out of the cupboard.

"hiss--"

"Huh? Does it hurt?"

When applying the potion, Roman heard Xiao Zi's voice, and his legs were sore that he ducked back.

But to Roman's question, Xiao Zi replied with shaking her head.

"It's okay, Dad, it'll get better soon. I feel that here and here—" Xiao Zi pointed to the swollen leg, "they will heal soon."

What's the meaning?

Roman looked at the reddened legs, because the parts where they fell were not in the same position, so they were only slightly reddened. The skin wasn't frayed or bleeding, and it probably got better in a few days. However, during these few days, it is best not to move your legs, because this can easily make the wound worse.

The little toes are round and lovely like pearls, and the white skin is as delicate as the milk wash and care all the year round, which makes people wonder if she has never stepped on the hard ground with these legs, but she has been taking care of Xiao Zi since she was "born". Roman is well aware that this is not the case. Xiao Zi's legs have never been well cared for. She doesn't like to take off her shoes at home, and because the weather is getting warmer, she doesn't wear socks when she goes out.

This is probably one of the abilities of youkai.

The delicate skin can vaguely see faint blue veins, and if you look closely, you can also find a faint pink under the white skin. These legs are as delicate as works of art, and people can't put it down.

For the first time, Roman discovered that a girl's legs could also be so attractive, and she really wanted to be touched carefully. However, he is not a real leg control, and he also knows that the more important thing is to deal with the wound, but the same action becomes more gentle, and the processing process becomes longer.

"Father."

"Does it hurt you?"

Roman looked up, only to find that Xiao Zi showed a shy expression, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

"Father... do you like Xiao Zi's feet?"

Roman's face suddenly became ugly: "No... Also, you are not allowed to use my computer to watch some strange things in the future."

"Mum—" Xiao Zi's face suddenly puffed up angrily, "Liar, my father just stared at him."

"I don't know why you use the word 'sexy' to describe my expression, but I can tell you very clearly."

Roman's face suddenly turned cold, he felt that Xiao Zi seemed to have been polluted by bad internet information. Sure enough, a pure child like Xiao Zi has no resistance to complex network information.

He suddenly remembered yesterday evening, when he was cooking in the kitchen, Xiao Zi was watching strange cartoons on the computer, and his mouth kept making strange laughter.

Roman used a cold tone, as if announcing the sentence for the criminal: "Give up, Xiao Zi--

——What I like is a mature big-breasted sister"

PS: Chapter 73 has been revised, and the content of the revision is to add half a sentence to the thirty-fifth paragraph. Although it's not an important content, it can make the plot less blunt, so let's go back and take a look.

There is no way to see the chapter modification on the Shuke mobile client, because it is buffered content and needs to be taken off the shelf and put on the shelf again. Well, it's really annoying everyone.

Chapter 110 Chapter 75

That night, Roman found on his computer the browsing history of many eroge websites, as well as many hidden bad readings. In the wailing sound of Xiao Zi, he mercilessly deleted all these things.

However, what made Roman even more unexpected was that the root of this child's depravity was that he was once taught by Yakumo Zi of "Gensokyo" to play games with his account.

I didn't expect you to be such a Yakumo Zi!

Roman decided to lock the computer when he was not using it in the future.

The attack brought by the Raincoat Man makes Roman brooding. He thought about going to report the crime, but he didn't have time yet, at least he had to wait until after school the next day. So for the whole day before that, Roman had to spend the whole day in fear.

Because of the injury to her legs, Xiao Zi was left at home by Roman. In order to prevent her from continuing to decay, Roman locked the computer very firmly, and then left the single copy of "Sailor Moon" that he had saved for more than two years. So, a girl should look like a girl. Wouldn't it be good to just read girly manga?

However, after Roman left the apartment...

"Kou Jie Kou Jie, father, this idiot, have you forgotten my ability to use shadows?"

Xiao Zi secretly laughed at Roman who was leaving, then turned on the computer skillfully, and at the same time began to contact the "Monster Sage" of "Gensokyo" in the game.

[Sister Zi, I accidentally lost the website you gave me before, can you send me a copy? 】

[No problem, give, give! 】

However, why is there a strange sadness revealed in this peaceful and tacit dialogue?

...

...

Who is attacking him? Why did the raincoat man attack him? In other words: Who is the murderer? What was the murderer's motive?
