Fog Formula-Warning Book of Fog City Search Chief's Strange Talk

The next day, morning.

"Good morning~ um - I slept so well..."

Hino frowned and squeezed out a groan from his throat, lay on the bed and stretched comfortably, then raised his hands and rubbed his sleepy eyes, and wrapped himself in the quilt like a caterpillar and beat him a few times on the bed Get lost.

In fact, this is the happiness that many people pursue, right? The boy twisted while holding the quilt, his heart was full of satisfaction. In the morning, the warm sunlight shone on him from the window, giving him a warm feeling. The bed in the hotel under him was as soft as if it had been sunk in the clouds, and he could hear the chatter of his classmates and the soft chirping of birds outside the window. Last night, the people in their room played games together until very late, and now they wake up in the morning with the aftertaste of having fun last night.

Hmm~ What a perfect morning, it would be great if there were some more surprises—the half-asleep boy couldn't help sighing that this morning was so perfect that the boy couldn't help but a little bit of greed arose in his heart, looking forward to one more fate A little gift.

But this greed is only a little bit in the end. After all, even when he was sleepy, he knew that his "hobbies" were...not necessarily a good thing for other people.

"Huh? You woke up..."

It wasn't until Hino Mino rubbed the pillow and opened his eyes that the boy realized that he had already woken up early. Looking around, the bed next door was neatly folded, and Gentaichi in plain white kendo uniform stood by the window, silently staring at the sun and rain on the branches and leaves outside the window. In the morning light, his handsome face was dyed with a layer of gold, which made people can't help but think of the statues of gods praising bravery in the art exhibition, with chiseled outlines.

"So early……"

The teenager looked at the mobile phone next to him, only to realize that it was not even seven o'clock. Compared with the time they fell asleep last night, Yuan Taiyi probably only slept for more than five hours.

"When did you get up?"

So Hino Minoru asked aloud with a little surprise, yawning uncontrollably while speaking, and his eyes were still a little hazy.

"Well... why don't you sleep more..."

"You know, I have the habit of exercising in the morning." Yuan Taiyi glanced back at him and explained, "I will wake up naturally at that time."

"Morning exercise?"

But this time looking back, Hino also saw Yugen Taichi's face. Looking at the two big dark circles on the blond boy's face, Hino Minoru didn't say anything, just shrugged casually, and got up from the bed while yawning.

"But you've been up for a long time, don't you have to wake up so early for morning exercises? It was past 1 o'clock after playing the game last night, so you will be sleepy during the day, right?"

"What?"

Genta was startled, wondering why Hino Mino saw the truth at a glance. He watched the boy get up from the bed to wash up without realizing it, and after holding back for a long time, he finally couldn't hold back, and asked:

"How do you know I've been up for a long time?"

"ah?"

The sleepy Hino Mino was walking towards the bathroom with a toothbrush and slippers. Hearing this, he just paused for a moment, barely opened his squinted eyes, glanced at him, raised his hand and pointed the toothbrush at Genta Pointing, and then plunged into the bathroom without looking back.

"You still have dew on your clothes. Why did you just wake up? Isn't it obvious?"

"..."

Yuan Taiyi realized that there were some crystal drops of water on the edge of the clothes on his body at some point, at this moment, a breeze blew from the window, carrying a faint water vapor, timely reminding the blond boy where the dewdrops came from. come.

The side window is open. Minata, who noticed this, was silent for a while, and some of the decisions made in his heart began to waver again.

Perhaps because of his age, Hino Minoru may occasionally appear a little naive and nervous, but he is definitely not stupid. On the contrary, as a detective, Hino has amazing insight and can always discover details that others have not noticed. This resort is so abnormal. After a long time, it is impossible for Hino not to discover those weird places. That being the case, then the idea of ​​"keeping Hino Mino from it and not wanting him to get involved in those things" might not make sense at all-he will definitely find out, but sooner or later.

This discovery makes Yuan Taiyi unavoidably a little annoyed. Thinking that the inspector general and his assistant who caused everything last night might be living in a room near them at the moment, even the sunny courtyard in front of him looked disgusting. On weekdays, there are rumors of various "unknowns" from the search bureau, Yuan Taiyi believes in his strength. I never took it seriously, but now that I really encountered this situation, I realized that those rumors were actually not unreasonable.

After a while, the blond boy finally calmed down, sighed leisurely, and decided to explain to Hino what he had observed in the past two days.

Instead of waiting for Hino to discover the clues and then secretly act behind his back, it is better to exchange views with each other before all that happens, and then face the possible danger together. Yuan Taiyi looked at the scenery outside and made such a decision, his eyes gradually turned from hesitation to determination.

"Xiaoshi."

After Hino Minoru finished washing and came out of the bathroom, Gentaichi first looked at the other two who were also getting up beside him, and then yelled at the boy, signaling him to go out with him.

"After changing your clothes, come out with me."

"Oh, ok, wait for me."

Hino Minori was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, but he didn't ask Gentaiichi what's the matter, but quickly changed his clothes according to the words, and then walked out with Hino Minoru.

"Are you going out to eat? Bring us a copy too?" At this moment, Long got up behind them and shouted as he watched them go out.

"ah……"

Hino Minori turned his head and glanced at Yuan Taiyi first, and quickly discovered from Yuan Taiyi's slightly stunned expression that Yuan Taiyi had no such intentions, so he immediately reacted, turned his head and smiled and said to Long:

"I just went out to do some things. We seemed to have left something at the gate yesterday, so I went out to look for it. As for eating, let's eat together when we come back?"

"Okay, then you guys come back earlier." Long Ye said bluntly, just nodded casually, "We won't wait for you if you come back too late."

"Yeah~ I'll be back soon."

Hino Mino nodded, smiled and raised her hand to say goodbye to the two people in the room, then turned around and walked out with Gentaichi, closing the door behind her.

"What's wrong? Is something happening?"

The two didn't talk immediately after they went out. After walking a few steps, Hino Minato turned to look at Gentaichi next to him.

"...you know about meeting God, don't you?"

Wen Yanyuan was silent for a while, and then spoke slowly.

"Meet the Chief Investigator? Of course I know." Hino Minoru shrugged, with a smile on his face, "He is a well-known figure in our circle, maybe even more famous than the speaker."

What he was talking about was studying the weird circle, and Jian Shenxiu was one of the most talked about figures in this circle. Not only has he been involved in many ghost stories, but the search bureau he represents also often plays the role of "financial master" in the entrustment of this circle, so everyone in the ghost story circle knows this chief investigator to some extent.

"He's staying in this hotel now." Yuan Taiyi spit out these words a little silently, "with his assistant."

"..."

So Hino Minoru's expression froze suddenly. It is precisely because of his extraordinary curiosity about weirdness that he is more aware of what kind of reputation the Chief Inspector is known in the market.

"Last night's fog..."

The boy's expression became serious in an instant, and he immediately thought of the weird fog last night.

"Well...someone told me that last night there was hidden in the fog. And...at 3 o'clock last night, the fog suddenly dissipated—without any warning." Genta nodded and slowly narrated.

"I suspect that Jian Shenxiu did something, but I don't know exactly what it is."

"Tell me everything you know."

Unexpectedly, the boy did not show that impulsive excitement when he heard the words, but immediately became calm. While he was watching, Hino stroked his chin, looking thoughtful.

"I have also found something wrong in the past few days. It turns out that it is influenced by strange stories. The crux of this matter is actually here..."
