"Hmm."

Yukino nodded.

In matters concerning safety, she also appeared serious.

"Lin-kun, you should also be careful. Why don't... we go in together? Three people would be better, right?"

Looking at the long and narrow alley, Yui Yuigahama swallowed. If she were to walk in alone, she definitely wouldn't dare.

"No need, I can do it alone. Five minutes. Whether there are clues or good news, I will call Yukino-bucho's phone after five minutes."

After saying this,

Lin Ye stepped into the alley.

Compared to the street outside, this alley appeared gray and narrow. If it weren't for the bright moon in the starry sky, this alley would have appeared even darker.

Before long, Lin Ye's figure merged into the darkness, his footsteps became much quieter, and finally disappeared completely.

"Lin-kun is so amazing. His social skills are very strong. Those managers were willing to let us see the surveillance, and his courage is also very great."

Yui couldn't help but exclaim.

"Hmm, he's showing off in front of a beautiful girl like you."

"Uh!"

Yui waved her hands to deny it vigorously.

"No, no, it's not because of me. It must be because of you, Yukino-san. You are much more beautiful than me. You are the school beauty of Sobu High. I, I can't compare at all."

In front of Yukino, Yui Yuigahama had no confidence at all.

"You don't have to belittle yourself, Yuigahama-san. You have your own outstanding points."

"I... I don't..."

Yui Yuigahama's tone weakened.

The two waited outside, time passed minute by minute, and five minutes passed. Yukino's phone rang.

"It's me, Yukino."

"Okay, Yuigahama-san and I are still waiting for you near the entrance where you entered."

After Yukino Yukinoshita hung up the phone, she shook her head at Yui Yuigahama.

"Didn't find any useful clues."

"Hmm."

Just suddenly,

Yukino Yukinoshita noticed that in a position more than ten meters ahead, in the shadow of the street lamp, there seemed to be the figure of a dog.

"Yuigahama-san, look, is that it?"

She pointed and asked hesitantly.

"Hmm?"

Yui Yuigahama looked in the direction Yukino Yukinoshita was pointing.

"Sable..."

Subconsciously blurting it out, Yui Yuigahama saw the small figure and immediately followed it.

"Sable, wait for me..."

"Yuigahama-san, don't run."

Yukino Yukinoshita hurriedly chased after her.

In the blink of an eye, Yui Yuigahama saw that small figure drill into the alley and disappear completely.

"Sable, come back quickly!"

But her hand was tightly held by Yukino Yukinoshita.

"Yuigahama-san, calm down. Don't go in. Wait for Lin-kun to come back."

"But, but..."

She felt Sable was right in front. As long as she went in, she could find Sable.

"Calm down. You are worried and confused. In fact, you can't be sure that the shadow is the figure of your Sable."

Yui Yuigahama pursed her lips and was silent.

Indeed, as Yukino said, she couldn't be sure.

"When will Lin-kun be back?"

"Soon."

The two waited in place for two minutes, and Yukino Yukinoshita received another call from Lin Ye. Soon, Lin Ye reunited with the two.

"This alley? I'll go in and take a look."

It was a completely different alley from the one he walked in before. Lin Ye walked while using clairvoyance to pay attention to the situation around him.

However, he didn't find any trace until he reached the end.

"But this feeling is a bit similar to the Eerie."

But the 'Eerie Game' didn't give any prompts.

Was it his illusion, or was this Eerie unable to be recognized by the Eerie Game as a 'realistic routine task' task object?

During his thinking,

Lin Ye stood in front of the two girls again.

"Sorry, didn't find anything."

"Sable..."

Yui Yuigahama was a bit disappointed. She looked toward the deep alley, seemingly wanting to go in and see.

"I'll go look around again."

"No, no need, Lin-kun, let's end it here for today!"

But Lin Ye had already walked into the alley, walked around again along the alley, but still found nothing.

Yui Yuigahama could only disappointedly accept this reality.

"Let's come back and look tomorrow."

"Hmm."

"Ah, ah!"

But at this moment, a sharp cry sounded from the other side, which was the voice of a middle-aged man.

"What happened?"

Yukino and Yui Yuigahama looked toward the direction of the sound.

"I'll go take a look. You stand in place and don't run around."

Lin Ye ran over.

In a few breaths, Lin Ye saw a man sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall, covering his right leg with his right hand, occasionally letting out a cold breath of pain.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

"Was... bitten by a wild dog. Too hateful. There are wild dogs nearby. Wild dogs should be caught and slaughtered."

The middle-aged man made an indignant sound.

"Go to the hospital early to get a rabies vaccine."

"I know. Damn it, another sum of money."

Thinking of having to spend a vaccine fee, the man felt pain.

"By the way, I wonder if you remember the shape of the dog and the direction it escaped?"

"Quite small, earthy yellow, seems like a dachshund, or seems like a Shiba Inu. I didn't see clearly, don't know what breed, ran that way."

The middle-aged man pointed in the direction.

Lin Ye took the initiative to trot over a few steps to look around, but used clairvoyance and didn't find any shadow of a dog.

Where did it hide?

He thought about it and didn't continue searching, turning to reunite with the two girls again.

"It can't be Sable. Sable is very obedient and would never bite anyone."

Yui Yuigahama explained for the first time.

"Didn't say it was Sable. The time is almost up. I suggest we end it temporarily today and come back to look around here after school tomorrow."

Yukino Yukinoshita naturally had no opinion, but now the most important thing was Yui Yuigahama's thoughts. She was the client, could she accept ending it now? ===== CHAPTER 223 =====
