Behead God: You will eventually become a god!

Chapter 169: Promise under the Fireworks

The gorgeous fireworks are brilliant and grand, like stars, embellishing the entire starry sky.

On the streets full of the atmosphere of life, pedestrians have also put down their fatigue of the day. They chat with the people around them and relax happily together. Even if there is a stranger next to them, it seems like a good friend who has not seen each other for many years.

Xia Xishan stared at the brilliant fireworks in the sky, the stars seemed to be embellishing her eyes. Chen Chen looked at her in the wheelchair, a little stunned.

After a long time, he asked:

"How about these fireworks... Aren't they beautiful? I see you can't take your eyes off them."

"Ah?" Xia Xishan retracted her gaze, a little embarrassed, her face slightly red, "It looks good, very good."

"I haven't seen such a grand fireworks display for a long time. The last time was probably a few years ago."

The two of them chatted with each other, and Xia Xishan gradually relaxed. She really enjoyed this feeling, or rather the feeling of having someone by her side.

Just when she was thinking about what she wanted, a string of candied haws was suddenly handed to her. She looked at the candied haws that appeared out of thin air, a little puzzled, then turned back to look at Chen Chen and asked curiously:

"Where did you get the candied haws... Weren't you pushing me to watch the fireworks just now? When did you buy them?"

Chen Chen did not respond, but just smiled, then raised his arm and pointed his index finger in a certain direction of the street corner.

Following the direction he pointed, Xia Xishan also tilted his body slightly and looked over there.

In the direction he pointed, there was a white-haired old lady with wrinkles on her face and gray hair on her temples. She was holding a tray of candied haws in her hand and walking with a staggering gait.

It's like Santa Claus delivering gifts to people, but what the old lady delivers is candy and happiness.

The old lady seemed to notice that someone was looking at her, so she turned her gaze over there and saw a young man who had just bought candied haws, pushing a girl and looking at her. Then she responded with a kind smile.

Xia Xishan looked at the old lady in the distance, frowned and thought: "Did this old lady just pass by us?"

The main reason was that the old lady looked really old and couldn't walk very well, and Chen Chen had just bought the candied haws, so it was likely that the old lady had just passed by them and she didn't notice her.

"Yeah." Chen Chen nodded. "You were watching the fireworks too seriously. I saw this old lady passing by, so I thought of buying a string of them and waited until you had finished watching them... Why am I giving it to you now?"

After hearing these words, Xia Xishan lowered her head shyly again, but then pretended to be very cool, tasting the candied haws, but stopped talking.

"Xia Xishan?" Chen Chen suddenly called her name.

The latter hummed in confusion, "Hmm?"

"Did you have a good time today?"

"happy."

Xia Xishan, with her back to Chen Chen, was sitting in a wheelchair and smiling gently. Her eyes were very beautiful, reflecting the brilliant fireworks in the sky and the twinkling stars.

"But thank you very much. You made me... feel what happiness is once again." Xia Xishan spoke about his own affairs bit by bit without any reservation.

“As far as I can remember, when I was about five years old, my parents were wanted by the Pure Land for some reason. Since then, I have never heard of them again. From that moment on, I started living a wandering life.

Finally one day, I couldn't hold on any longer. I wanted to commit suicide and say goodbye to this world... But by coincidence, on that day, the knife suddenly appeared and chose me. At the same time, I also learned the truth behind my parents... I never blamed them, even for a day, so I took the same path as them and became the hope of this country..."

Tears of hope flashed in Xia Xishan's eyes, and her hands gently stroked the long sword placed on her legs.

"Next year...next year I'll accompany you to watch the fireworks, how about that?"

Chen Chen spoke casually, and made such a promise inadvertently. In this trance, he seemed to recall something...

In the steamed bun shop next to the school in the old neighborhood of Cangnan City, he and the old man made their first promise, an agreement that they would definitely go home for the New Year.

At the New Year's Eve dinner of Team 136 at the Peace Office, he and all the members made a second agreement that no one would be left out and everyone would be present next year.

Now, he has made a beautiful promise with the girl in front of him to watch the fireworks together next year, so no matter what, he must fulfill this promise!

"Okay, then I'll take note of it." Xia Xishan stretched out his little hand and gestured something in the air, as if he took an invisible notebook and printed this matter deeply on it.

"Let's go, we should go back."

"okay."

A figure pushing a wheelchair stood out in the crowd. They walked in the opposite direction of everyone else on the street, as if they were passing through the world with the person they loved.

……

Osaka,

On the roof of a tall building somewhere in the center of the city.

Two figures in black clothes landed here one after the other, looking like two feathers, falling lightly.

At this time, Lin Qiye was wearing a low-key black outfit. His previous outfit was too flashy and it was not convenient to investigate at all. Because of the clothes he was wearing, no matter where he went, he would become the most beautiful person in the crowd. In that case, how could he find someone?

"How's the situation over there?"

"Nothing." Amamiya Haruki shook his head. "I have already searched the entire west. Logically, there should be no place that I have missed, but I did not find any trace of the Kamikawa family."

"It's the same here." Lin Qiye said.

"There's nothing in the east either. A few days ago, Han Chuan Si was openly searching door to door, but now he suddenly disappeared without a word. Even his men disappeared without a trace. It's really strange."

"Yes, but now we have searched everywhere and there is no solution." Haruki Amamiya was a little depressed, and then he suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, isn't your brother the leader of the Black Killing Group? After all, they are the largest gang in Kansai, and there is strength in numbers. Dotonbori is a small place, so if they start looking for it, it should be quick."

"Well, it seems that this is the only way now."

Lin Qiye thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go back first, otherwise Uncle Kyosuke will become suspicious."

"it is good."
