Chapter 166 [166] Nagisa was bumped into by Himeko
[166] Nagisa was caught by Himeko
The sound of "buzzing buzzing" buzzed in Himeko's ears, and large patches of blood bloomed in front of her eyes.
"Himeko! Himeko!" Winnie shouted anxiously from the side.
They're at Mercury's Sheriff's Office now.
Early this morning, Winnie received a report from the Public Security Management Office.Said that there was something wrong with Takemoto Himeko, and asked her to rush there as soon as possible.
Winnie was so scared that something happened to Himeko, but as soon as she came, she saw Himeko sitting on a chair in the public security management station in a daze.
She called Himeko for a long time, but the other party didn't respond to her.
This made Winnie even more anxious.
Because even when Himeko didn't classify her as a friend at first, Himeko never did such a rude thing.Whenever she calls Himeko's name, Himeko will respond to her after hearing it.But now she is all Himeko's friends, and now she has not received any response.
A line of words appeared in Winnie's mind - something big happened!
But now there is no way to communicate with Himeko, so Winnie turned her attention to the security officer on the side.
"What happened?" Winnie asked directly.
Although the identity of the heir of the Winnie Guardian Alliance is not known to everyone, most of the people inside know it because of the special status of the security channel.At least everyone in this room now, except Himeko who is still wandering in her own world, knows Winnie's identity.
And because Himeko is from Rocky Town, all security management cases related to her are treated specially.
After reporting, all those who contacted and handled her case were members of the Guardian Alliance.So all the Sheriffs present here are Winnie's subordinates.
Her questioning tone was not excessive at all.
Even the security officers who were questioned didn't think it was too much, and they even understood Winnie's current nervousness.Because they are also like this now, I am afraid that Himeko Takemoto will be irritated.
Amid the pushing and shoving, a blond man wearing a security management cap was pushed back out.
Now that it has been launched, it is necessary to answer it properly.
The blond man saluted Winnie, and then reported the situation to her.
In fact, they were not the first to discover Takemoto Himeko's anomaly.
The first person who noticed that Takemoto Himeko was abnormal was because he heard a "bang", and when he rushed out to look, he saw Takemoto Himeko standing there.Following her gaze, she saw a man who committed suicide by jumping off a building.The man was already bloody.
Such a thing is very rare in Mercury, so it caused an uproar.
Witnesses also called the Public Security Management Office, and it was not until Takemoto Himeko was taken to the Public Security Pipeline Station by the police security officer that no one recognized her.
The last case, including Himeko Takemoto, who may have been the first witness, was transferred to this department—a special department composed of members of the Guardian Alliance.
Knowing the general situation, Winnie felt that she probably guessed the reason for Himeko's reaction now.
Maybe it was frightened by the dead body "falling from the building".
Winnie used the word "falling from the building".It is because there is no investigation now, and it is not known whether the deceased committed suicide or homicide.It cannot be described as committing suicide by jumping off a building, or pushing down homicide.
I don't know how many times Winnie called Himeko before Himeko reacted a little bit.
"Huh?" Himeko, who had just come out of the red world, still couldn't react.
She blinked, turning her head stiffly.After focusing his eyes for a long time, he saw Winnie.
"Wen, Winnie, why are you here?" Immediately, endless doubts overwhelmed her, "Where am I now? What happened?"
Himeko almost asked who I am and who you are.
Winnie opened her mouth, but said nothing.
She has known Himeko for a long time, and she also has a similar understanding of Himeko's personality.If she didn't tell Himeko, then when Himeko recalled everything before, maybe she would feel a little more pimple in her heart.Even if it was only a [-]% possibility, Winnie didn't want it to be possible.But if you tell Himeko, it will be unbearable for Himeko.She didn't want to scare Himeko.
In fact, Winnie also understands Himeko's behavior.
Because the city of Mercury is so well protected by the Guardian Alliance.On this extremely dangerous continent, the chaos of other cities has almost nothing to do with it.So deaths like this are rare.It is very normal for Himeko to be frightened.
It was not yet time for Winnie to make up her mind whether to tell Himeko about it or not.Himeko already thought of it
Her voice trembled slightly: "I, I remembered."
Trembling uncontrollably, she couldn't restrain her physical reaction.Although she has lived in the extremely dangerous land of Hunter Continent for a long time.But her surroundings were relatively peaceful.
It can be said that in the past 20 years, she only learned about a group of people in this world who have completely different views from hers.
Even this group of people belonged to the majority on the continent where she lived.So even though Himeko had established a firm socialist core value in her previous life, she has been in this world for so long and has been changed uncontrollably.She has become able to accept that human beings kill each other, and even the value of killing does not require a reason but only a mood.But acceptance and seeing people die in front of you are two completely different things.Even if that man committed suicide by jumping off a building, a bloody appearance is still a nightmare that Himeko can't get rid of.
Looking at the shivering Himeko, Winnie wrapped her in a blanket distressedly, and stuffed a cup of hot chocolate into her hand.
This is contributed by the sheriff because they know this is normal.So for the witnesses who witnessed the death, they will have these prepared in advance.Of course, there are many witnesses who have wandered in other cities, and they are shocked by this death.These things are of course useless.But there are also witnesses who haven't seen Mercury much, so they are all prepared in advance.Use it if you need it, and forget it if you don’t.
And Winnie is very familiar with these things, so she just took them and used them.
It is not easy to be the heir of the Guardian Alliance, so Winnie knows how to deal with many things.
She patted Himeko's back lightly, comforting her softly: "It's okay, it's okay."
Winnie's comfort was like a life-saving straw for Himeko.
She held the hot chocolate in one hand and grabbed Winnie's wrist with the other, her face full of panic.
"A lot of blood..."
The panic in Himeko's eyes made Winnie feel even more distressed.She didn't care whether the hot chocolate would stain her clothes, she directly hugged Himeko from the front.He held Himeko in his arms and softly comforted Himeko, gently patted Himeko's back with one hand, and touched the top of Himeko's head with the other hand.
"Touch the fur, you won't be scared. Not afraid, not afraid."
Winnie's voice seemed to have magical power at this moment, and Himeko gradually calmed down.
Then she discovered this position of herself and Winnie.After all, the relationship between her and Winnie is not good enough to hug like this, but Winnie is also kind.So Himeko felt an awkward feeling of embarrassment in her heart.
She gently broke free from Winnie's arms, her ears were a little red.
"Thank you, Winnie."
"It's okay." Winnie tried her best to restrain her hand from touching Himeko's head.
Touching it just now can be regarded as a comfort to Himeko, but now it seems a bit strange to touch it.Winnie really felt sorry for Himeko, and it was like this from the first time she saw Himeko.Although Himeko always smiles when facing people, she can see through the timidity behind Himeko's smile.People who came out of Rocky Town obviously shouldn't look like this.
Seeing that Himeko's mood had stabilized, the sheriff began his routine questioning.
After everything was done, it was already dark when Himeko and Winnie left the security management office.There are already dots of stars in the sky, and the street lights on the street are also lit.
"I'll take you home." Winnie suggested intimately.
Under such circumstances, Himeko would always say no.But the close contact with death today made Himeko still feel a little palpitating.So she nodded slightly at Winnie, and thanked Winnie embarrassedly.
"Thank you, I'm sorry to trouble you." After speaking, he pinned his sideburn hair behind his ears, trying to hide his unnaturalness.
The two walked side by side without a word.
Winnie didn't know what to say to divert Himeko's attention, and Himeko's brain was still in chaos, so she ignored Winnie.It was also because of Himeko's confusion that she almost fell flat on the ground without noticing.Fortunately, Winnie pulled Himeko with quick eyesight and quick hands, and only then did she save the face she was about to kiss intimately with the street.
"Be careful."
"Thank you." Himeko thanked Winnie again.
She looked down at her belongings, but saw nothing.But Himeko didn't find it strange either, her sense of movement and balance has never been very good.Flat ground is a very normal thing.It's just that Himeko saw the floor tiles on the street, one by one like chocolate.
At this moment, she finally realized what she had forgotten.
"Oops." Himeko suddenly became dejected, "I forgot to tell Nagisa about this."
After speaking, he quickly took out the phone from the bag.She was in a hurry to text Nagisa, but she didn't notice that Nagisa didn't contact her.Even if she didn't say hello for a whole day and didn't show up in the store for no reason, Nagisa didn't take the initiative to contact her to inquire about the situation at all.
Himeko called Nagisa, but the other party replied indifferently and said that she had something to hang up.
Looking at Winnie, Himeko smiled awkwardly.
Because of the sheriff's request, she said that she should not tell others too much until the case was closed.So Himeko didn't tell Nagisa that she went to the Public Security Management Office, but only said that she had something to do.
She thought about it from Nagisa's point of view.
If your boss doesn't show up suddenly, and then you call to say that you are temporarily delayed by something, and you forgot to tell yourself.I will also be dissatisfied.Especially when she was not in the store for a while because she was going to accompany Hisoka.I only told Nagisa two days ago that she can relax a bit when she comes back.I didn't expect to be slapped in the face today.Although it was beyond her control to encounter such a thing, Himeko still felt that it was her own fault.
Winnie and Himeko have been together for a long time, and she has some understanding of Himeko's idea of blaming herself.
So she quickly comforted her a few times, but seeing Himeko's appearance, she was not comforted by her.
Winnie sent Himeko to the door of Himeko's house. Himeko looked at the door of the house, hesitated for a while and said.
"Thank you, then I'll go back first."
"kindness."
Himeko walked to the door, then turned to look at Winnie and said, "Go first, I'll watch you off."
After all, Winnie was with her all day today.If I just went in like this, I'm afraid it would be too rude.
"It's okay." Hiseko's caring words warmed Winnie's heart. She smiled and said, "You are exhausted today. I will watch you enter the door before I leave, otherwise I won't worry."
There was a warm current in Himeko's heart, and Winnie's status in her heart rose again.
"En." Showing a faint smile to Winnie, Himeko opened the door of the house.
Although Winnie asked her to close the door before she left, Himeko did as well.But because she was a little worried, she still watched Winnie leave through the peephole on the door.Before leaving, Himeko told Winnie to remember to call her when she got home.
When Winnie called to say that she was home, Himeko still had no intention of going to sleep.
Because it's too scary.
As long as she closes her eyes, the dead man will dangle in front of her eyes.From nine to eleven, from eleven to one in the morning, Himeko stared at the ceiling with her eyes open.
Usually, if she has a little light, it will affect the quality of sleep, so she must cover all the light that can be covered before going to bed.
But today she is a little afraid of the dark.
Even though she is usually afraid of the dark, she is not afraid of the home she is familiar with.No matter how dark it is at home, she will feel safe.Just like when she usually wants to leave Mercury and go to other cities, she will be terrified, but she will not be afraid when she is beside Hisoka, even in a place like the Sky Arena.
But today is completely different.
Even though this place is the house where she lived for a long time, even the pillow next to her still smelled of Hisoka.She was still scared.
So she turned on all the lights in the bedroom that could be turned on.
And because she was afraid, she also used curtains to block the light in the house tightly.
Staring at the ceiling was so boring, Himeko picked up her phone.
Who she wants to chat with, at least for a diversion.But it's already early morning, and she's too embarrassed to disturb someone who is asleep.After all, everyone worked very hard on weekdays, and she felt sorry for each other.It's just... She stared at Hisoka's number and did not press the call button for a long time.
After hesitating on that interface for a long time, Himeko's arm suddenly dropped.The mobile phone followed and smashed onto the quilt on the bed.
She wanted to tell Hisoka about this, and talk about her fear.
But... would Hisoka think she was hypocritical?After all, Hisoka is the owner of Sky Arena.
Yes, Himeko has discovered that Hisoka and her are not from the same world.But she doesn't want to give up the person she likes, and Hisoka doesn't look like she wants to give up on her.So she put these things aside on weekdays, just wanting to like Hisoka wholeheartedly.
But she is very clear in her heart.
Hisoka's view of life was completely different from hers.Even though she hadn't seen how Hisoka treated life, Hisoka respected her ideas on weekdays.But she knew it was different.
Then this kind of thing, if she said Hisoka would not care.
Himeko's head was in a daze.
In such entanglement, she didn't recall that bloody scene again.It can be said that Hisoka has already occupied all her energy, and she is too preoccupied with whether to tell her lover about it.Then I fell asleep thinking about it.
The next day, although her head hurt a little, Himeko still struggled to get up from the bed.
She is going to continue working in Cherish Chocolate Shop.
Although I feel so uncomfortable, and being forced to miss an appointment is also a very wronged thing.But what can I do.She lives in the society, and no one needs to pay attention to the things behind her.Even if she has a good relationship with Nagisa, and their lovers are also good friends, there is no need for the other party to accommodate her.
If you don't do it, you don't do it.
Himeko returned to the chocolate shop again, but Nagisa didn't care about her pale face.In the past, Nagisa would pay more or less attention to Himeko's complexion.But she is a little angry today.
Not because of Himeko not coming yesterday, but because of something else.
Although Nagisa is a little emotionally lacking, she doesn't want the mission she should have done not to be completed.But this time, there was an indelible stain on her killer career.
Because Il fans didn't take Mercury's business before, Nagisa took all Mercury's business assigned to him.
So the Mercury business this time was naturally assigned directly to Nagisa.
But because of Mercury's pact.She didn't want to directly fight against the Alliance of Mercury's Guardians, so she planned to wait until the mission target left Mercury before doing it.I had already made inquiries, but the man left Mercury yesterday afternoon.Nagisa planned to kill the man directly when he took the first step out of Mercury.
But she waited for half a day at the exit last night and didn't get the mission target.
Could it be that the other party got the wind and ran away from another exit?Or the information given to her by Yiermi's second brother was wrong.No matter which one is a shame to Nagisa, naked shame.She thought that this task would be completed casually.As a result, the news of the mission target is now directly lost.She contacted the Beaten Hakka family, but the family said they were still looking for news about this man.
In fact, Himeko didn't come to the store yesterday, and Nagisa didn't take it to heart at all.
It's just that she was aggrieved because the mission was not completed and she was still out of contact with the mission target.So when Himeko called her yesterday, her attitude was not very good.And I didn't notice Himeko's complexion today.She wanted to search all over Mercury now, to see if she could find news about that man.
In fact, if the mission in the past failed, it would fail. If you miss an opportunity, you will miss it.
But this time the business is different.
Because Il fans came to Mercury again.So when assignments are assigned at home, Il fans will naturally accept them.Others don't know what he means, but Nagisa understands.So she abruptly snatched the business from Yiermi, but now it turned out like this.
What can she do!She is also very desperate!
For a whole day, Nagisa didn't say hello to Himeko because she was sulking at herself.But Himeko didn't know the reason of this matter, so she felt more and more embarrassed in her heart.
At the end of the day's work, Nagisa had already left the store before Himeko called to stop her.
Himeko is a person who doesn't like to procrastinate conflicts, she likes to resolve them immediately.
So I quickly closed the store and wanted to catch up.But Nagisa didn't know how to get there, and when Himeko went out, she was gone.Himeko lowered her head and prepared to go home.
Because of the man who fell from the building before, Himeko dared not walk the previous path for the time being.
I took the long detour when I came to work this morning, and I am going to do the detour when I go home this afternoon.
Coincidentally, when Himeko made a round turn, she saw Nagisa.She accelerated a few steps under her feet, and she just walked behind Nagisa and wanted to call Nagisa.
Nagisa happened to be chatting with the aunts downstairs at this time, and coupled with her inner anxiety, she didn't notice the familiar aura behind her.
Just when Himeko reached out to pat Nagisa, Nagisa's question made her froze on the spot.
Nagisa asked the aunts, "Do you know how Mr. Qili is doing?"
