The next day.

"When my predictions are verified, you will realize how foolish it was to distrust me."

"Whatever you say, I still have to go anyway. If that kid really comes, we can't let Qian Zhihe deal with it alone, right?"

I was bickering with Gale on the side of the road, and the church was already in front of me - paper cranes were standing at the door.

"Hmph, my judgment is not wrong. I can see through it at a glance whether you are lying or not."

"..."

The weirdo I met yesterday asked Qianzhihe and I to come back to him one day later.

However, Gale decisively believed that the other party was lying. His attitude was firm, but he did not give any basis.

I was dubious, but I still came to the church, although it was about half an hour later than the original time.

"Sorry, I'm late."

After I briefly said hello, I noticed that the paper crane didn’t sweat under the scorching sun, so I asked:

"You just came out of church?"

"Well...that gentleman is not here."

Qian Zhihe said and handed me a piece of paper:

"He left us this."

There were a few lines on the paper, and I read them quickly—it roughly meant that the guy was temporarily busy and could not meet.

Oh, Gail guessed it right.

"It's a waste of time."

"...Maybe he has something to hide."

Until now, the kind-hearted Qian Zhihe, who favors all "weak" people, still speaks for that guy.

"I think so."

I said calmly:

"Where did you find this paper?"

"On the bench where he was sitting before."

......

I walked into the church.

A tranquil and solemn atmosphere envelopes the room, and the cool temperature makes people feel comfortable. The sun always stops at the front of the hall, embracing several sculpture-like prayers.

I carefully checked that no one was nearby, then I came to a corner where I couldn't easily see it, and leaned against the wall, motionless.

Well, the cool and comfortable environment is very suitable for sleeping. In fact, I have already started to feel sleepy and really want to go back to bed.

But unfortunately, the matter was not finished.

I yawned and rubbed the corners of my eyes.

I persisted in this stance for nearly forty minutes, and just when I wanted to give up, that guy appeared——

A tall, muscular man with a dejected appearance... He did not admit his mistake.

I stared at the other person - the pillar blocked most of my body, and with the lack of light, it was impossible to see me unless I looked carefully.

He cautiously approached the bench where the letter was placed. After seeing something, he looked puzzled and stopped.

In order to prevent him from running away suddenly, I quietly walked around to the door of the church, walked towards him from the direction of the door, and called him:

"Hey~~"

"...!"

The other party took a step back suddenly, as if he was greatly frightened.

His mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out.

When he was only five or six steps away, the divine eye activated:

[The chance of encountering the severe wind and fire spell on the head is 16%]

[The chance of being hit by a dart on the chest is 25%]

[The chance of successfully dodging to the right is 32%]

[The chance of successfully dodging to the left is 27%]

......

Several messages immediately made me freeze in place, but Gale didn't say anything.

The man in front of him looked like a trapped animal, his shoulders undulating greatly due to his heavy breathing.

Oops, this guy...

"Hey, why are you looking like this? Is there a monster behind me?"

I tried my best to smile as naturally as possible and said in a nonchalant manner:

"I thought you weren't coming. I fell asleep while waiting."

"...No, sorry."

The man was stunned for a moment and seemed to have put away his vigilance.

"It's okay, it's okay~~"

Although I was very nervous, I still moved closer to him - this time, my plug-in did not respond.

However, what is certain is that this guy just had murderous intentions towards me.

"That girl's grandfather is sick. She has to go visit him and can't come today."

"Ah... no, it doesn't matter, you... don't need to help me... I'm just here to put..."

The man casually picked up the piece of paper - I had put it back on the bench in advance so that I could lie and say I hadn't been there when this happened... I didn't expect it to come in handy.
p>

I just pretended to read the content on the paper.

"So, you don't need our help? Or you have already solved it?"

"Well... no need to trouble you... thank you... I, I have something urgent..."

His response was vague.

"Okay, I don't care~~"

I waved my hand in a reasonable manner and put it into the pocket of my coat:

"But that guy... is that girl. She really wants to help. If I don't even know what difficulties you have, she will definitely scold me for doing things perfunctory."

"...this...is also..."

The man hesitated for a long time before he nodded:

"Then...please sit down..."

"Okay."

I closed the distance again and glanced at him pretending to be relaxed:

"By the way, can you put away your weapons first? Like darts or something... I'm just a civilian with no strength."

"...!"

The man immediately regained his alertness and stepped back.

[The chance of being stabbed in the head is 48%]

I held the knife in my pocket tightly, with cold sweat dripping from my palms.

It's okay, it's so close... I have a chance of winning.

"You...why..."

"Ah~~ I forgot to explain. I am responsible for repairing clocks. No slightest sound can escape my ears."

"...This, this is it..."

The man breathed a sigh of relief, and I also let go of my worries.

Alas, this guy is just like a vicious dog at the end of his life...if there is anything strange about him, he becomes ferocious.

Foreigners are really weird.

"Sorry, I am a hunter...so I carry these things with me..."

Okay, okay, hunter, Gale’s companion.

I sat down with the man, and he took out the darts one by one and put them on the ground in front of me, and smiled at me in a flattering way. It seemed that he felt guilty because he had "misunderstood" me.
