After enjoying a delicious dessert morning tea, Lingzi pushed Meizi back to the room

Orochimaru continued his unfinished experiment

When approaching noon, Ling Zi came to an abandoned warehouse in a laboratory

The warehouse is dark and damp, and the only window is facing the sun with its back

It can be said to be very similar to the murder scene in a suspense movie

Arms folded, leaning against the wall with an indifferent face

Ling Zi just walked into the warehouse, looking at the bag with a puzzled face

"Du, did you come to me for something?"

Dou didn't show a polite smile like in the past

He just walked slowly in front of the girl, took out two black cloths and put them on the ground, and sat cross-legged on the black cloths.

Just when Lingzi was puzzled, he took out a game of shogi from his satchel.

"I want to ask you to play a game of chess with me, can you?"

Dou looked at Lingzi calmly, his face barely moving.

Ling Zi winked

She doesn't understand shogi at all, among all chess games, she can only play backgammon...

"That... I don't know how to play this game, can I change it?"

Lingzi scratched his head in embarrassment.

stunned

"Then what kind of chess do you know?"

Ling Zi replied without hesitation.

"backgammon"

Dou first sized up the girl with a strange expression, then got up and found a game of backgammon in the cabinet next to her.

Put away the shogi in your pocket, and put the backgammon neatly on the ground

"Then can you sit down, Uchiha Reiko?"

Ling Zi looked at the black cloth next to his feet, adjusted the corners of his skirt slightly, and sat down on his knees

"Do you like black chess or white chess?"

Put the black and white chess box in front of the girl, and let the girl choose one

Ling Zi thought for a while, and finally picked up the white chess box

"I prefer white, although in terms of backgammon, white is weaker"

A smile finally appeared on Dou's expressionless face.

"Is that so, the rules are dead, after all, people are alive, you can take the white chess first"

Ling Zi did not refuse Dou's proposal

Because Lingzi himself knows his own chess skills very well.

It can be said that it is a batch of dishes, and there is no room for retaliation in the face of ordinary killing routines.

And it's not cheap

Everyone is so confident to let her go first

Ling Ziyu held a white piece in his hand and placed it in the center of the chessboard

Dou glanced sharply at the girl and started his own layout

Between the two, one focuses on the chess game

A person who keeps secretly eyeing each other

But even if he was distracted, Ling Zi didn't have a big advantage

just a little undercut

Every move of the pocket is just right, which can block the girl's layout

But in this case, his own layout cannot be formed

Before they knew it, the two of them had been walking for half an hour.

A total of three wins and three losses, the two have a very tacit understanding and have maintained a record of one win and one loss

"I want to ask you something"

Looking down at the hand of the girl playing chess with lowered eyes

Ling Zi, who was concentrating on playing chess, asked unhurriedly

"what's up?"

Dou's gaze shifted to Ling Zi's jewel-like eyes

"Do you know a man named Yakushi Nonoyu?"

Ling Zi paused, the layout in his mind was interrupted

The girl looked at the pharmacist pocket with inexplicable emotion in her eyes.

"Yes, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Dou smiled, his tone was neither cold nor hot

"She's my mother and she's told me about you many times"

"I said that you are a stubborn and stupid child. You should have been in contact with her many times."

Ling Zi didn't deny it, but nodded

She does have frequent contact with pharmacist Nonoyu

The general contact is to buy medicine, or get injured during the task and bandage.

She also has a good impression of Pharmacist Nonoyu

"Du, I've heard about you, although Aunt Nonoyu never mentioned your name"

"But the shy and gentle boy she mentioned should be you."

With raised eyebrows, his eyes now reveal his true emotions, curiosity, sadness, and anger

It's a very complex look

"Shy and gentle, have I ever been like this?"

Ling Zi made another move, and the whole chess game was reversed in an instant. The diagonal row of four pieces was completed, and there was no defense on the left and right of the four pieces.

"Little brother, you lost"

Dou shook his head

"Is it a winning layout? Your technique seems a little rusty from the beginning"

"However, in just half an hour, you have already been able to set up such a situation. It seems that you are not stupid."

Ling Zi frowned when he heard the word stupid again.

The word "stupid" can be said to have accompanied her in two lifetimes. From modern times to Hokage, everyone said she was stupid.

The girl really doesn't understand, how stupid is she?

Looking at the frowning Lingzi, Dou continued:

"You're a lot like my mother, you're stupid in everything you do"

"Just one thing, I'm not sure yet"

girl doubts

"What is not sure?"

Pou's eyes instantly became sharp

His eyes now look like those ninjas from the criminal department, as if they can pierce people's hearts

"Have you ever heard of a personality bender?"

Ling Zi shook his head, feeling that Dou's rhetoric was very inexplicable

corners of mouth curled up

"The so-called distorted personality refers to people who are psychologically distorted, extremely extreme in some aspects, or have special hobbies"

"There is a kind of personality distortion that is very extreme and likes to enjoy the favor and friendliness of others"

Ling Zi frowned even deeper

"Does this... have anything to do with our previous topic?"

There was a sneer on Dou's very bookish, fair face.

"You, Reiko Uchiha, are hailed as Princess Egret by the people of the Fire Country. You have a great reputation and are highly valued by the village's senior management."

"It can be said to be a collection of thousands of pets, although it can't explain anything through these"

"But after getting along with you for a few days, I found that your IQ is very high, and you reveal scheming everywhere."

"It's not as silly and cute as it is rumored"

"And yesterday, I saved Yumeko, who regarded herself as an enemy, and cared for her."

"The way you look is really similar to those personality twisters."

Ling Zi exhaled, feeling a little helpless

She is nice to Miko because she sees Miko suffering and feels angina herself

And a huge part of it is because of sympathy

As for the others, everything reveals scheming, Ling Zi feels that these have nothing to do with him

She has always been doing whatever she wants, she can treat whoever she wants, and she doesn't need others to speculate

Seeing the way the girl breathed out, Dou became more certain of his inner thoughts

"How about it, Uchiha Reiko"

Ling Zi shook his head lightly, and took back the white pieces on the chessboard one by one.

"No, you are wrong"

"Don't use your thoughts to speculate on me. I do those things simply because I want to do them, and some because I have to do them."

"I like to see the world as it is, and so is my current ambition"

The corners of Dou's mouth that were originally raised were pulled down in an instant.

"It's already been said so clearly, do you still want to hide your true self?"

Ling Zi calmly looked at the somewhat agitated Tou

She thinks that Dou is simply not used to her living a good life and speculating blindly now.

"Du, I think you need to calm down now, everything I have done is not something you can understand now"

"My goal now is very clear, not to win others' favor"

"I want to see the world as it is"

clenched fist

Now he is really a bit displeased with many people who care about Ling Zi

But those who cared about him died under his hands

"What the hell are you"

Ling Zi stood up from the black cloth

"You don't need to hide your true self, this sentence will be returned to you"

"If it's the shy and gentle boy Auntie Nonoyu mentioned, I'd like to be friends with him."

"Will you still be the same under the mask now?"

Ling Zi went straight to the warehouse door, and when he reached the door, he responded to Dou with a smile

The moment the warehouse door was opened, the white light from the laboratory shone on Ling Zi.

The girl's whole body was covered with a layer of white light, which looked extremely beautiful

"Be yourself, don't be completely covered by a mask"

Dou couldn't help but froze

He seemed to see Nonoyu

"I……"
