The last time I used Xiu's character card was in Yahara. At that time, he also chose Xiu in order to deal with Shi'er. Xiu's profession is a manipulation profession. The alchemy items he created can be used as weapons. They are versatile and convenient.

In the process of moving forward, Bai Cangwang is also investigating Shi'er's information. Going back to 2022, there is currently not much information about Shi'er on the dark web, but some traces can be found from the few words that can be captured.

Searching along various dark webs, Bai Cangwang found his information in an anonymous forum where magicians were active - Shi'er's original name was Zenyuan Shi'er, and he was born in a Zen family of magicians, but now he has left that

The family, operates alone. As an active killer of magicians, he is feared by many magicians, but he is a good tool that many magicians hope to use. Chanyuan even works for money as a killer, as long as he pays enough to satisfy him

If the amount is high, he will bring the desired results to the donor.

However, Shi'er has not been very active since a year or two ago, and has received fewer orders this year. It is not difficult to find from the discussions among the magicians that he is now in a state of retirement, and has washed his hands in a golden basin.

"Wash your hands in a golden basin..."

Why did a killer who had already washed his hands of the murders return to his job three years later?

The biggest change in this should be the death of Ms. Xiao Defeng. When taking Xiao Hui away from Shi'er, Bai Cangwang briefly learned some information, but he didn't know much about Xiao Defeng.

, and it is unclear why she died.

Speaking of which, what kind of family is the Chanyuan family? Why did Shi Er leave the Chanyuan family?

Bai Cangwang didn't know much about the Chanyuan family. Looking at the name, he remembered that when he asked the Chanyuan Shi'er's name, the other party asked him to call him "Shiner" directly. If he asked Gojo Satoru, he should be able to get it from his friends.

Let’s know some information about the Chanyuan family, or even about Shen’er.

The afternoon sun in Mika Town was still bright, and there were gradually more and more people on the street. He lowered his head and typed words quickly on the keyboard with his fingers. However, after the words were entered, they were not sent out, but were temporarily saved in the memo.

.He put away his phone and stayed where he was.

The alley beside him was just on the dark side where the sun couldn't shine. From the deep darkness, some vague whimpering could be heard. Bai Cangwang silently looked into the alley, and not surprisingly, he met a pair of

Eyes met.

The face of the man hidden in the darkness could not be seen clearly, but he could see the murderous intent in his eyes. He was bent over, holding a handkerchief in his hand, and the handkerchief was covering the mouth and nose of a little boy. He noticed someone appearing at the entrance of the alley.

, the child's eyes burst out with bright light, and his whimpering and struggling strength became stronger.

"The third incident..."

Whispering something to himself that the others had no idea of, the young man with long frosty hair changed direction and walked towards the alley. His leather boots made a dull sound, and the sound was as heavy as a bass drum in the prisoner's heart.

Beating.

"Don't come here!" A hoarse man's voice sounded in the darkness. The prisoner was an adult male. The force in his hand increased. The child whose mouth and nose was covered with a handkerchief used more strength because of the struggle, and his face

He was flushed, and the oxygen he breathed was getting less and less. Looking at the hands that started to twitch due to excessive exertion, it seemed that this child was about to reach his limit.

The abductor who appeared in the depths of the alley had been successful for who knows how long. The child who was taken to a deserted place at some time may have disappeared into this alley if no one found him.

A little fluorescent green lighted up in the darkness, and it made no sound. The little fluorescent green flying in the darkness quietly approached the man and landed on the man's ear. This slightly itchy touch made the man frown in discomfort.

, but just as he raised his arm to wipe his ear with his sleeve, something happened. The man suddenly stopped, his eyes turned white, and he fell to the ground.

The handkerchief he was holding fell down, and the little boy, who had lost his restraints, squatted on the ground, breathing in the fresh air. In his vision that was blurred with tears, he saw a small, silver-white bird flying.

It came out of the darkness and fell on the fingertips of the young man with long frost-grey hair.

It was a small mechanical bird with a body size of no more than five centimeters. On its silver-white body, a pair of emerald eyes looked at the young man quietly. It raised its mechanical wings and raised its head, gently touching the young man with its fingertips.

After gently touching the cold body of the bird, he flew into the air with satisfaction and disappeared to who knows where.

This is [Type A2 Alchemical Creation·Mechanical Bird]. Equipped with life gems in both eyes, it is more like a living thing than an object. When it falls on the ear of the abductor, it can release sound waves that affect the mind. The abductor is because

This one just fell down.

The man lying on the ground has fallen into a deep sleep. He is ragged and down and out, but no one cares about him at this time.

Realizing that the man who had caught him in the alley could no longer control him, the little boy staggered up after catching his breath and ran out of the darkness in panic. He grabbed the hem of the young man's suit and cried loudly.

Got up.

"Woooo...Mom, I want mommy..."

The child who survived the robbery was very emotional. He was being pestered by a child like this and could not leave immediately. Bai Cangwang knelt down and looked at him. After waiting for the little boy to calm down, he said: "I have already called the police. I am waiting for the police here."

Uncle, uncle will take you to find your mother."

The little boy still refused to let go. He sobbed and asked, "What about you? Big brother, where are you going? Do you want to leave me here alone?"

"I'll accompany you here to wait for the police uncle."

Hearing that he would not leave now, the little boy softened his expression. He raised his sleeves and wiped the tears from his face. Perhaps to relieve his inner fear, he began to talk about the experience of getting lost with his mother.

"Originally I wanted to ride the Ferris wheel in Acupo! But...because of this bad uncle, I couldn't sit on the Ferris wheel with my mother..."

Today, he went out to play with his mother at Abeido Shopping Mall. He was with his mother until they got near the Ferris wheel in Abeido. However, when his mother was buying tickets, he was hurriedly taken away by the abductor. As a child

According to the description, there were many people on the Acupido Ferris Wheel, so his mother could not find him in time.

Shirakura looked up and looked into the distance. From here, you can indeed see the tall and big red Ferris wheel. The 72-seat Ferris wheel is currently a very famous tourist attraction. It is already the center of Miwa Town and Cup.

The junction of Tomachi.

A closer look showed that the little boy had no injuries. Why did this man take him away? Was it for abduction?

While he was thinking, new footsteps came from not far away. The police from the nearby police station had arrived. The policemen in police uniforms looked very reliable, and the little boy was not afraid of them.

After handing the child who had stabilized his mood to the police, Bai Cangwang finished the note on the spot. After everything was over, the police took away the man who fell on the ground and the abducted child, and the alley returned to silence.

Watching the police car disappear around the corner, Bai Cangwang did not leave immediately. He stood at the entrance of the alley with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

Everything was hazy in the darkness, but even for just a moment, the flash of clothes caught his attention - there were not only abductors and children in this alley, but there was another person in it.

If he was an accomplice of the criminal, then that person should have taken action against him before the police arrived. After all, from the beginning to now, he just stood at the alley and did nothing. It was only the small little bird that affected the abductor.

Mechanical bird. This bird is not obvious, and its existence cannot deter criminals.

It was very dark in the depths of the alley. It was an alleyway that led to nowhere. The man was not a prisoner, but he appeared deep in the alley and watched the child being taken away by the police before leaving.

If the person standing here is an ordinary person, the clues that can be obtained here will be cut off, and he should leave next. But the person standing here now is "Xiu" whose race is [Vampire]. No matter how hazy the darkness is, for him

It is also very clear.

The man hiding deeper in the alley has dark hair, and his strong body and strong muscles are wrapped in a winter coat. He is like a black cat hiding in the darkness, and even the kidnapper has not noticed him. He seems

He wanted to take action, but after finding someone stopping at the entrance of the alley and walking into the alley, he returned to the darkness.

He was the first to notice the low-frequency sound of the mechanical bird's wings vibrating into the air. His observation eyes fell from the mechanical bird to the young man standing at the alley. He was assessing something. Perhaps the unknown aroused his curiosity.

He didn't leave until everything was over.

That person was Shi'er, Bai Cangwang had already recognized him.

He took a look at the map. This place was dozens of kilometers away from the place where Jin Er was last traced from the mail. He found someone in time, and met Jin Er when he was still staying in the Mika Town and Cupido Town areas.

.On the map, a small yellow light spot is flashing brightly.

The light point was already two streets away from him. It was moving very fast, and the light point getting farther and farther away was clearly marked on the map.

"What a useful bird." He chuckled and walked in the direction of the moving mark on the map——

That was the mechanical bird that he deliberately let go just now. Just now, it flew into the sky, turned on the stealth mode and flew back. This time, the mechanical bird no longer landed on the abductor, but hung far away.

It kept a subtle distance above Shi'er, so that the sound of flapping wings was not detected by Shi'er. This also had disadvantages. Once Shi'er entered the room, it would be difficult for the mechanical bird to continue tracking.

but……

Did Shier really not discover this mechanical bird?

On the map, the coordinates of Ji Er's location and the address sent to him by Koide Kaede were getting farther and farther away. Shirakura Nozomi was in no hurry to catch up with him immediately. Ji Er moved very fast until he reached the dock near Tokyo Bay.

It was only then that the area stabilized and no more random movements were made. At this time, Bai Cangwang took a taxi to the place where the coordinates stopped.

The water in Tokyo Bay in the afternoon is blue, and the white sunlight shines on the sparkling sea, reflecting some dazzling silvery broken light. The ship sets sail at the pier, and there are passenger ships carrying tourists taking people to visit the water scenery, a peaceful scene

It's refreshing.

The wharf is spacious, and containers loaded with goods are neatly arranged, which is reminiscent of Yokohama's industrial wharf. Shir's coordinates have not moved for a long time. Shirokura looked towards where he was and soon saw the black-haired man.

man.

He was sitting cross-legged on a container, like a cheetah in its territory. He was clearly in a relaxed posture, but he could see the danger that might break out at any time.

He raised his head and kept staring at a certain point in the void under the clear sky. Only Bai Cangwang knew that that was where the mechanical bird stayed in the sky.

The sea breeze is blowing, and the smell of slightly salty sea water is mixed in the wind. Today is a good day to do nothing.

"Tsk."

Shier obviously doesn't think so.

The man turned his head and looked behind him, his dark eyes under his black hair scanning fiercely.

Looking at each other, they already knew each other's existence. The mechanical bird hanging in the air took off its transparent disguise to reveal its figure, clearly telling Shi'er its tracking behavior. Shi'er's appearance did not change much three years ago.

But compared to three years later, he is a little more alive now. He is even a killer, but now he is different from the bloody-sounding "killer". In Bai Cang

In Nozomi's impression, "killers" are usually ruthless killing machines. The "Spell Master Killer" who appeared near Yahara's house when they first met three years later was like that.

But now, seeing the mechanical bird in the sky, Shi'er directly expressed his displeasure by throwing a stone.

Small stones were thrown into the air, and the mechanical bird dexterously avoided them. The stone did not cause any damage to it. It fluttered its mechanical wings and was still hanging not far away from Shi'er's head. Shi'er was very dissatisfied with this.

After adapting, he looked hard at the young man controlling the mechanical bird.
