Chapter 159: After Death, Reincarnation into the World of the Heart

Even though the daytime hours were longer than before, it still got dark quickly.

Sakurai Haruka's figure had long been submerged behind the curtain of darkness.

Compared to her previous performance at the sports meet, she was undoubtedly running much faster just now.

Shimizu originally thought that Sakurai Sosuke agreed to discuss the marriage again, which was half the success, but he did not expect that the other party suddenly made a statement that he would never hand his daughter over to Shimizu.

Moreover, Sakurai Sosuke looked serious at that time.

For a yandere like Sakurai Haruka, Sakurai Sosuke's words were undoubtedly a denial, and it could even be said that they completely shattered the possibility between her and Shimizu Mi.

Not allowing the yandere to be with the person she loves will definitely cause her to fall into an unprecedented despair.

But there is no point thinking about these things now. Sakurai Haruka's abnormal value has just exceeded fifty, and it is probably still continuing to soar.

Shimizu Mi must catch up and find her quickly, otherwise the same situation as Amamiya Iori will occur - when the abnormal value reaches one hundred, the world will be on the verge of collapse, and even the memory will be forcibly erased and the current timeline will be reset.

The ripple effect is too great.

Shimizu Mi must prevent things from developing to this point.

After getting off the stage, Shimizu followed the direction where Sakurai Haruka disappeared and left through the exit of the exit passage.

The exit is directly connected to the teaching building.

Because the closing ceremony of the cultural festival was being held, there were almost no students staying in the teaching building at this time.

The teaching building was sparsely populated, which was a good thing for Qing Shuijian. It meant that if there were still people there, he could immediately spot them from a distance by the lights.

This is undoubtedly a great help in determining where Sakurai Haruka is going.

That being said, Shimizu still couldn't find too many places to look.

Time is extremely limited now, and Qingshuijian feels uneasy when he keeps looking at his watch.

Because from the beginning, he could feel the ground shaking slightly.

In Japan, where earthquakes are frequent, tremors like this are very common, but the closing ceremony was still in its final stages and no one noticed anything unusual.

This means that only Shimizumi can feel it.

In other words, the source of this tremor is most likely due to the surge in Sakurai Haruka's abnormal value, which has affected this world.

Moreover, judging from the increasingly violent vibrations under his feet, Sakurai Haruka's abnormal value at this moment is probably far more than fifty.

Shimizu saw that there was no way to slow down the passage of time.

There is also a limit to how fast the body can move.

At this moment, the only thing that can speed up the process is thinking.

Shimizu Mi simulated Sakurai Haruka's thoughts in his mind, trying to find possibilities.

Now, Haruka Sakurai probably won't stay anywhere in the school anymore.

Sakurai Sosuke's words definitely gave her a strong stimulation, which caused Sakurai Haruka to not want to see her father at all.

She would definitely choose to escape, escape from the man who prevented her from being with Shimizu.

In this case, she should leave school as soon as possible.

Based on this reasoning, Sakurai Haruka has no money on her and should not be able to go to a far place all of a sudden.

Having said that, with her physical strength and speed, Qingshuijian really had no way to deal with her.

Even if he was given an accurate location, as long as Sakurai Haruka did not stop, it would be difficult for Shimizu to catch up with her.

So, while rushing to the school gate, Qingshuijian took out his mobile phone, unlocked it and opened the address book.

Then he quickly dialed Sakurai Haruka's number, but she didn't answer. He called again, but she still didn't answer.

No matter what, we must contact and communicate with Sakurai Haruka first.

Strictly speaking, the situation this time is slightly different from that of Amamiya Iori.

Because it was her father Sakurai Sosuke who irritated her at that moment, not Shimizu Mi.

So, at least Sakurai Haruka had no reason to refuse Shimizu Mi's call.

But there was no sign of the call being connected.

Please, you must answer it...

While praying, Qingshuijian ran towards the school gate. As a result, a lucky thing happened. A figure appeared in front of the school gate.

A girl with short brown hair was walking in from outside the school, pushing a bicycle.

"Eh? Shimizu-san?"

The two met at the school gate.

Shimizu tried his best to control his disordered breathing and spoke to the person sitting in front of him in the same class.

"Kikuchi-san..."

"Why are you panting like that... doesn't Shimizu-san have a job on the executive committee?"

Now was not the time to explain this to her.

"Did you see anyone leaving the school just now?"

"I don't know if anyone has left the school. I just got here."

Kikuchi Kei shook her head.

The glimmer of hope that I had just grasped was shattered again.

But Qingshuijian did not complain too much, but continued to think.

Once you exit the school gate, there is a horizontal driveway with crossroads on both sides. Sakurai Haruka could run in any direction.

If we were to search for them one by one, the efficiency would be too slow and there would not be enough time.

There was no other way, so Shimizu Mi had to call Sakurai Haruka's cell phone again and pin his last hope on it.

As a result, a sound came from the basket in front of Kikuchi Megumi's bicycle.

"Haruka's phone... where did you get it from?"

Shimizu Mi picked up the phone from the basket. The wallpaper on it showed the last photo of him and Haruka Sakurai, so it was definitely Haruka Sakurai's phone.

"Haruka? Oh, are you talking about this phone? I just found it on the roadside outside the school. I thought the cultural festival was over, so I went home first, but halfway through I suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a closing ceremony, so I came back..."

"Which road did you pick it up? Tell me now!"

Shimizumi interrupted Kikuchi Kei who was talking further and further away.

His vision began to blur, like the world of a severely myopic person who took off his glasses.

This feeling is very annoying, but also very familiar.

This meant that time was very tight. Qingshui was as anxious as an ant on hot pan, and his tone became impatient.

"Yes, there's no need to be so angry..."

Kikuchi Kei suddenly became at a loss as to what to do.

Qing Shuijian slowly exhaled and calmed himself down.

"I'm not angry. I'm just rushing to get things done by the Executive Committee."

"Is that so? That's good..."

Kikuchi Hui breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

"I found it on the second street after turning left after leaving the school gate."

Turn left onto the second street...

In any case, there was no time to hesitate, and Qingshuijian immediately prepared to go.

"Um, do you need my help?"

Kikuchi Megumi shyly called out to Shimizu Ken and whispered softly.

……

Kikuchi Kei lent her bicycle to Shimizu Mi, and he pedaled hard all the way to the street.

During this time, Shimizu Mi took less than five minutes, but it is possible that Sakurai Haruka could have run farther during this time.

If that happens, things will become even more troublesome.

Trying to find a specific person in Tokyo is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But fortunately, this is not a comic, and this stomach-wrenching plot did not happen.

On the other side of the busy road, Shimizu found Sakurai Haruka with incredible ease.

At this moment, she was looking down at something in front of a convenience store, probably the cell phone she had just lost.

The fact that Shimizu was able to quickly locate Sakurai Haruka was not due to luck or his excellent eyesight.

It was because a very magical, mysterious and quite shocking scene appeared around Sakurai Haruka, which was similar to what happened to Amamiya Iori in the past.

With Sakurai Haruka as the center, her body was sometimes distorted, disordered, and illusory, but the range was extremely large, and it continued to spread in all directions...

That is a phenomenon that only occurs when the outlier value reaches a certain level.

[Haruka Sakurai's current abnormal value: 77/100. ]

Moreover, this value has a tendency to continue to rise.

Qingshuijian wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath, and adjusted his still rapid breathing.

After repeating this several times, the anxiety that had built up from sprinting all the way here on the bike gradually subsided.

The traffic volume on this road has always been astonishingly large, with vehicles coming and going with the sound of engines. Shimizu Mi had to shout a few times before he attracted the attention of Sakurai Haruka who was across the road.

"See……"

After hearing the call, Sakurai Haruka immediately turned around, and when she saw Shimizu Ken, she wanted to come over here the first thing she did.

"Stay there and wait for me to come over."

Shimizu Ken immediately stopped Sakurai Haruka's dangerous behavior, and then waited until the green light for pedestrians came on, then he pushed his bicycle, crossed the zebra crossing, and walked towards Sakurai Haruka on the opposite side.

Sakurai Haruka watched Shimizu Ken walking towards her step by step, his breathing rising and falling and his forehead slightly sweaty. His appearance was obviously the result of rushing here anxiously and worriedly.

A complex emotion surged in her heart, and Sakurai Haruka pursed her lips slightly, as if blaming herself.

"I'm really messing around..."

Really, why did you suddenly run away from school...

Why did Jian worry so much and look for me everywhere...

Is it because my father said he would never let me be with Jian?

No, it's not like that.

Sakurai Haruka shook her head vigorously.

She knew that she did that not entirely because of what her father said, but because she had always longed for Shimizu to look at her well.

Not looking at her sister standing dazzlingly in the spotlight, nor at anyone else, but her.

She longed for Shimizu to see her and find her in the crowd.

"I am as willful as a child..."

Before she knew it, Sakurai Haruka had been biting her lower lip tightly.

That resolute look seemed as if he had made up his mind.

I think, let me be willful one last time - I must be with Jian.

That's right, even if my father, no, even if everyone in the world opposes it, it doesn't matter much.

Seeing is the only thing that matters, so I will never stop loving seeing you just because of their opposition.

At worst, we can elope to a very far away place, where no one can stop us from being together.

Well, yes, that's it.

I must, must be with Jian forever in this life, even if it means death...

Then, the sudden shrill sound of a horn interrupted Sakurai Haruka's thoughts.

The sound of vehicle horns was like thousands of needles, piercing deep into Sakurai Haruka's brain.

At the same time, several rapid horn sounds came from Qingshuijian's right hand side, and the aura was approaching.

"!"

Qingshui turned around and saw a car sliding sideways.

The tense feeling of holding your breath, along with the cold night air, stung Qingshuijian's skin.

It was a large black cargo truck.

However, the truck's tires completely slipped.

The out-of-control truck rushed over, ignoring the signal light...

Rushing straight towards Qing Shuijian.

Qingshui wanted to dodge, but at this moment, another vibration rushed up from the soles of his feet, like a wave, rolling into the depths of his mind in one go, even his ears were disturbed.

The truck was moving at an extremely fast speed, and I was distracted for a moment and couldn't avoid it in time.

For the first time, Shimizu felt the real sense of death approaching him.

"the first time……"

Is this really the first time?

At this critical moment, Qingshui Jian inexplicably had such an incredible thought.

But it no longer matters, because he is about to say goodbye to this world.

By the way, will I be reincarnated into a different world like in anime?

Shimizumi reflexively took one last look at Sakurai Haruka on the other side of the road. Her eyes became moist as she anticipated what was going to happen next.

Qing Shuijian met her eyes and smiled relaxedly.

However, at this moment, an incredible scene emerged in his mind.

He reached out his hand to the bewildered Reina Shimizu, and then—

There was a sharp pain in the brain, and the phantom of Shimizu Reina in front of him quickly disappeared, along with the figure of Sakurai Haruka across the street.

A black object blocked his view, and the skidding black truck obscured the view between Shimizu Mi and Sakurai Haruka.

About to hit.

Shimizu saw this moment of self-awareness...

"See!"

He seemed to hear this familiar voice.

The body was knocked away by a soft object.

Immediately afterwards, a low collision sound was heard in Qingshuijian's ears.

……

……

When Qing Shui came to his senses, he found himself lying on the asphalt road.

My hands pressed against the ground were so cold and bruised and bleeding.

The pain and coldness made Qingshuijian barely regain some consciousness.

What on earth happened?

If the momentum had continued, Qingshuijian should have arrived in another world by now.

Has he been reborn?
Doubts occupy the mind.

At the same time, Qing Shuijian heard several wails that sounded like gasps nearby, and the aura of other pedestrians stopping in their tracks enveloped the surroundings.

In the center is Shimizu, the vehicle that caused the accident, and another person lying next to him.

“See you, see you, see you…”

Qingshuijian was able to open his eyes only after hearing the extremely weak voice that sounded almost like crying.

The first thing that caught Qingshui's eyes was a large black truck that had knocked down a road sign and stopped. The sound of the horn that had been honking non-stop finally reached Qingshui's ears.

Someone fell beside the car, and the light from the street lamp was like a spotlight, shining on the fallen person.

"..."

Qingshuijian's mouth moved subconsciously, but he couldn't make any sound.

There was a thin layer of red puddles on the ground.

Sakurai Haruka's blood gradually dyed the cold ground bright red.

"See, I'm sorry... I just want to be with you..."

Later, Sakurai Haruka's voice was so weak that it was almost blown away by the wind, and the hand that wanted to touch Shimizu Mitsuki's cheek dropped weakly halfway through.

"remote……"

Qingshuijian finally squeezed out a sound from his throat, but no matter how he called out, there was no response.

In the distance, the sound of an ambulance seemed to be heard.

However, closely following this rapid whistle sound, Sakurai Haruka's abnormality value was constantly rising.

[Haruka Sakurai's current abnormal value: 77/100. ]

【85/100. 】

【93/100. 】

【100/100. 】

The speed of the car was soaring that it seemed impossible to stop it.

Can I still enter Sakurai Haruka's inner world now? !
Qing Shuijian was unable to think carefully about the logic behind this because he could feel his consciousness gradually dissipating.

It hurts. All the bones in my body hurt.

Drops of water kept falling from the forehead.

Seeing the clear water, I thought it was rain, but there was a faint smell of rust in the water.

Will he die?
he does not know.

But what is in front of Qingshuijian is his only and last chance.

The severe pain in his body and forehead had made Qing Shuijian unable to think any further. He used up his last bit of strength to hold the girl's hand...
