Next, Shen Er, what's your business?

Chapter 172 Cangzaki Oranges

In the mid-20s, the Japanese real estate bubble burst, and even the entire Japanese economy fell into an unprecedented recession.

Because of the rapid economic development in the 70s and 80s, new real estate projects have sprung up all over Japan like mushrooms after rain.However, many "spring bamboo shoots" have not yet grown, and the depression period is coming.The enterprises that invested in the construction of real estate were unable to bear the subsequent financial pressure, which led to the failure of many real estate projects.In various cities in Japan, especially in emerging economic areas, various unfinished and abandoned buildings can be seen everywhere.

Shinji, Sakura, and Fujino are currently in front of such a building.

Similar to many unfinished buildings, there is an appearance as a building, but there is no interior decoration at all, and the walls and floors are still exposed concrete.

When completed it was supposed to be a six-story building, but no more than four floors exist now.Generally speaking, it is most efficient to start building high-rise buildings from the top, but this building should still be built according to the previous method.Because it was abandoned halfway through the construction, the five floors that had been built became the roof.

Although there are high concrete walls around the building, it is not difficult to break into it.It's a miracle that it wasn't used as a secret base by the children nearby. All in all, this is a building that exudes an unusual atmosphere.

"Here is the person brother is looking for?" Sakura opened her big purple eyes and looked around curiously.

Shen Er finally glanced at the note in his hand, then looked at the nameplate on the outer wall, and confirmed: "If Mr. Kenneth's information is correct, it should be here. Let's go, let's go in."

When he stepped into the gate, Shinji felt an inexplicable sense of disobedience, and Sakura and Fujino who were following behind him also stopped in their tracks.

Shinji pressed his eyebrows, and asked in a low voice: "Sakura, Fujino, do you feel anything?"

"There is a strange feeling, as if we are not welcome." Fujino thought for a while and said.

"It's a barrier." Sakura stretched out her right hand, about to draw a rune in the air.

"No." Shen Er waved his hand at his sister, "Cracking the enchantment without the master's permission is a unilateral declaration of war. After returning home, you should ask Mr. Kenneth for more common sense in the magic world."

"Okay, brother." Sakura nodded submissively, "But this enchantment—"

"It's okay, it shouldn't be aggressive. If there is, brother will protect you."

"Ah."

Hearing what her brother said, Sakura immediately beamed with joy, and the intimacy between siblings made Fujino's eyes show a hint of envy.

"You two have such a good relationship."

Shinji touched the little head of his smiling sister, and said to Fujino: "In the future, you will also become one of us."

"Really?"

"real."

Fujino also smiled, she seldom smiled after she lost her sense of pain, but after meeting this boy, she smiled more and more.

"Sakura, tell sister Fujino what a barrier is."

"A barrier is something used to isolate—"

Amidst Sakura's childish voice, a group of people stepped into the building.

The word "enchantment" originated from Buddhism, which is something that completely separates the outside world from the sanctuary. I don't know when it became the general term for magician's self-protection.

A low-level barrier is just a glass-like wall. A high-level barrier will add various spiritual hints, making people unaware of the existence of the barrier. The highest-level barrier can even cover space.

What shrouded the exterior of this building was a high-level hint enchantment.People who have no purpose of coming here will not be aware of the hint here, and will not feel the abnormality, the barrier that anyone will miss on the map, this is the structure that only an outstanding magician can construct boundary.

In the corridor on the fourth floor of the building, Shinji saw the magician who arranged the barrier.

This is a young woman in her mid-twenties, wearing a pair of glasses, her long red hair tied into a ponytail hanging behind her head, and a simple white shirt that outlines a hot curve that is rarely seen in oriental women, which also makes this woman much more attractive. A bit of urban white-collar atmosphere.

Except for the white shirt and glasses frame, this woman's attire is all orange, with an orange trench coat, orange earrings, orange nail polish, orange necklace, and even the cigarettes on hand are in orange packaging. Orange has a crazy paranoia - obviously the color itself is a kind of silent irony to her.

Having said that, the female magician also has an "orange" in her name, maybe she doesn't care anymore.

Her name is Canozaki Orange, and she is the most important goal of Shen Er's trip.

"Oh, there are guests? There are still three cute little guests." Chengzi spit out a smoke ring, with a mild surprise on his face, "This is not a playground, what are you? Come in?"

The deliberate emphasis on the ending shows Chengzi's confidence in the powerful enchantment that wraps the building.

Shen Er smiled slightly: "That's how I walked in."

"Oh?" Cheng Zi narrowed his eyes, "It seems that he didn't enter by mistake, so he came here specially to find me?"

"Exactly, Miss Chengzi, I'm really sorry for visiting without permission. A small gift is not a respect." Shen Er said, pulling out a rectangular red box from his handbag and throwing it over.

Cheng Zi caught it casually, and saw the two eye-catching traditional Chinese characters on the surface of the box, and the surprised expression on his face became stronger.

"It's 'Dragon Smoke'? I'm starting to wonder who told you I'm here."

"Dragon Smoke" is produced in Taiwan. Even in Taiwan, it is a very small cigarette with a very unique taste. It is a cigarette that Orange prefers.

"Miss Chengzi understands the rules of the industry." Shen Er had a hard time saying it, so he could only pretend to be mysterious.

The person who told Shinji Chengzi that he likes "Dragon Smoke" is named "Nasu Kinoko", who is not in this world, and Chengzi doesn't know him.

The one who told Shinji Orange is here is Kenneth.Cheng Zi knows this person, because the puppeteer who helped Kenneth regenerate his body is Cheng Zi, but Kenneth is "missing" now.Shinji would not reveal anything until Kenneth recovered.

Seeing that Shen Er didn't want to say anything, and Cheng Zi didn't bother, he skillfully opened the packing box, took out a pack of cigarettes, unsealed it, took out one to light it, and took a good puff, then said: "If you don't say it, don't say it, Anyone who brings this 'dragon smoke' to me will never be my enemy. Tell me, what can you do with me?"

"Before that, why don't you invite me to sit in your workshop?" So far, Shen Er has not visited the workshop of other magicians, and there are only ten "crown" magicians in the world (evaluated by the clock tower) In the workshop, Shinji was even more curious.

"Unfortunately, I didn't build a workshop. This is just a temporary residence. I am currently touring Japan."

Cheng Zi got up from the sofa and pushed open the door.

"If you don't mind, come in and sit down. It's really not appropriate to talk about business in the corridor."

PS: monthly pass, monthly pass.
