Tokyo Ghost Diary

"Well, it turned out to be an underground auction. With the sign posted outside so blatantly, I thought it was an advertisement for the opening of a new auction house."

After paying a deposit of 200,000 US dollars to get the tickets, Akina Tachibana and Ayane Sasaki walked into the auction venue together.

The temperature in the venue was a bit low. After finding the seat corresponding to her number plate and sitting down, Tachibana Akina couldn't help but hugged her shoulders and rubbed them gently twice, then complained to Sasaki Ayane, who was sitting on her left: " Hiss, the air conditioner here is turned on so low."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone handed over a suit jacket to her right side. Tachibana Akina turned around subconsciously and saw that sitting on the seat to her right was a handsome young man of about twenty years old. The other person looked at her and looked over. , and showed a quite decent smile: "You're welcome to use it, I just feel a little hot."

After hesitating for a moment, Tachibana Akina took the coat and spread it on her legs without covering her body: "Thank you."

"It's a small matter." The young man crossed his legs, folded his hands and placed them in front of his abdomen, and spoke with a smile, which sounded quite mature and elegant.

Tachibana Akina glanced at him twice, but quickly looked away, put her head next to Sasaki Ayane's ear and whispered to her: "Ayane-chan, are you cold?"

Sasaki Ayane glanced at Tachibana Akina's suit jacket covering her legs, and knew that the other party meant that if she was cold, they could cover it together, not to mention that she did not feel any discomfort from the temperature, even if she really It's a bit cold, and she will never accept using a stranger's coat to keep warm.

Therefore, there was nothing to hesitate, and she shook her head decisively to express that she did not need it.

Tachibana Akina was not surprised. When her friend shook her head, she smiled softly and said, "Look at the handsome guy on my right. Is your fiancé as handsome as him?"

Sasaki Ayane was not the kind of person who valued appearance very much, but when she heard what Tachibana Akina said, she subconsciously turned her head and glanced at the young man who was one space away from her.

The young man also noticed Sasaki Ayane's gaze and gave her a friendly smile.

Sasaki Ayane did not respond, she only glanced at him and then withdrew her gaze.

"How is it?" Tachibana Akina asked in her ear with a smile.

"...it's very rude to compare and comment on other people's looks," she said.

"Hehe~" Tachibana Akina covered her mouth and said with a smile: "That means there are none? That's right. I don't know why. There are so many beauties in this circle, but handsome guys are so scarce."

Sasaki Ayane shook her head slightly but said no more, because she saw that someone was already on the high platform in front of the seats, and the auction seemed to be about to begin.

Besides, it was one thing that she didn't care about appearance, but she had to admit that her fiancé was indeed the best-looking of all the opposite sexes she had ever seen...

......

"Hoshino, look at the person below, does she look like your fiancée?"

Gen Hoshino, who was chatting with Qian-chan on his mobile phone, heard Asaba Shinichi's words next to him. He raised his eyes to look at him, and then looked in the direction he indicated. Sure enough, he saw a familiar profile face.

Hoshino Gen retracted his gaze, lowered his head, and sent a message back to Qian-chan.

Seeing his reaction, Asaba Shinichi couldn't help but laugh: "Let me tell you, do you have any dissatisfaction with Miss Sasaki? You saw her outside and didn't even say hello. Is it so ordinary?"

"I'm not dissatisfied, I just don't think it's necessary." Hoshino Yuan said calmly.

"What's unnecessary? Say hello? Why is it unnecessary?"

"She obviously came with the girl on her right. When you and your friends are out, you meet other acquaintances that your friends don't know. If you say hello to each other, you can pass by and continue at your own pace. Okay, or you can just ignore your friends’ feelings a little bit and let the two groups of people merge directly. It’s not a big problem.”

After sending the last message, Gen Hoshino pressed the power button to turn off the phone and put it back in his pocket. At the same time, he put his hands into his jacket pockets, looked down at Ayane Sasaki's position, and continued:

"But now, it is not convenient to pass by each other or merge, but we must live in the same space, and one party is always in a position where the other party can watch at any time... At least for the person being watched. On that side, any normal person would be very uncomfortable, right?"

"..." Qian Yuxin was silent for a moment, and his expression suddenly became a little complicated: "No... you can think of something like saying hello so complicated. How many minds do you have?"

Before Hoshino Gen responded, Asaha Shinichi's expression suddenly froze. He slapped his palms: "That's not right. If you don't say hello now, won't you still be discovered when you bid for the auction later?"

Gen Hoshino opened his mouth to say something, but closed it again because the auctioneer had already appeared.

......

"Everyone, please be quiet. Our auction is about to start. I have a few words to say to you before it starts, so please be quiet and cooperate, okay?" The auctioneer's voice was amplified by the loudspeaker. Finally, it instantly overshadowed all the noise in the venue.

But after the auctioneer said these words, the scene that he imagined that the venue immediately fell silent did not appear. After only a moment of silence, a burly man who looked to be in his twenties or thirties suddenly stood up and shouted loudly. He shouted: "I came here because I heard that you sell demon knives here. I didn't come here just to watch you talk show! Bring the demon knives up quickly!"

"..."

The deathly silence, which was much quieter than the quietness imagined, came after the strong man finished speaking.

Including the handsome young man sitting to the right of Tachibana Akina, at least 70% of the people in the venue at this moment turned to the strong man who shouted the words just now and bluntly said the word "demon sword". Got a cold look.

"Why...why it suddenly feels colder..." Tachibana Akina swallowed subconsciously and couldn't help but pull the suit jacket covering her legs up. It wasn't because of the cold atmosphere, but because she really felt , just for a moment, the temperature in this venue seemed to have dropped several degrees in an instant!

But the strong man didn't care. He even looked around the venue arrogantly and said disdainfully to those who looked at him with cold eyes: "What are you looking at? I just said what's wrong? Aren't you just looking at that?" Did you bring a knife? What’s the point of hiding it? Tell you! I have plenty of money, sir. I’ve decided to buy the demon knife!”

"idiot."

Someone faintly uttered these two words, and Hoshino Gen couldn't help but glance around him, because the person who spoke was none other than Asaba Shinichi.

As soon as Asaba Shinichi finished speaking, a loud noise of unknown origin echoed in the venue, and what happened simultaneously with the loud noise was the head of the strong man who was still shouting just now. exploded...
