King of 25 Cubs

"You? Go on a blind date?"

Tiaoye Caiju showed a smile that was not a smile, and said slowly: "There is such a good thing, why didn't you tell us, we can help you as a staff."

"...What did I say, did you say that I took the wrong car and met a fake relative?" I murmured with a wooden face, "And how do you plan to help me as a consultant?"

"I think I can also play the role of a human body lie detector no matter what?" Tiao Ye Caiju pinched his chin and said thoughtfully: "In the end, you didn't make a deal?"

"No."

The two of them didn't intend to go on a blind date, so naturally they couldn't talk, and I just found out that I was on the wrong bus.

"Speaking of which, I remember Gao Sui, you are very popular in the military and police headquarters. Before, I often heard some soldiers secretly talking about it, saying that they wanted to confess to you."

I opened my eyes wide: "Hey, is that so? But I've never seen anyone confess to me?"

Tiaoye Caiju said calmly: "They asked me to help deliver the love letter."

I blinked: "Where's the love letter?"

"Put it in the fireplace to keep warm."

"...That was a love letter for me! Why did you burn it?!"

Tiaoye Caiju curled her lips, showing an emotionless mask-like smile: "I told them that Caibi has no right to fall in love, and only after training results stay at the top for three months can he be eligible to confess to you."

I:"……"

"You are the carrot hanging in front of those stupid donkeys. Since then, everyone has been more active in training than before, and their overall strength has also improved a lot."

Tiaoye Caiju patted me on the shoulder, and said in a comforting tone: "Gaosui Carrot, you have made great contributions to the military and police, and the organization will remember you."

I took a deep breath and stretched out my ruthless hand: "Tiaoye, you are really wicked."

"Takaho Yuka, let go! If the wig falls off, I'll throw you into the sea!!!"

I scoffed and finally threw his wig into the ocean.

Just as Joye Caiju ran to get the wig, Akashi's call finally finished.

As he approached, I heard the last sentence——

"Then let's meet at the national competition."

I always feel that this sentence is like a cold threat... similar to, wait for me to jump up and dunk, and dunk the ball on your head?

Akashi returned the phone to me and said "thank you".

I hesitated for a moment and asked him, "Do you know my name?"

Akashi raised his eyebrows: "Are you kidding me, Miss Takaho Carambola?"

Tiaoye Caiju was fishing for a wig, while listening to the movement with his ears pricked up, he burst out laughing when he heard this sentence.

I:"……"

Is there really someone named Gaosui Carambola? !

And it's been so long, Akashi-kun hasn't noticed anything wrong, it seems that the woman didn't say anything.

So let me make an irresponsible guess. The lady named Gao Sui Carambola probably ran away from a blind date and didn't tell her family. Maybe she is still glad that she ran away and the man was willing to help her hide the "good intentions" .

Originally, I wanted to explain that I got on the wrong car that day, but after thinking about it, I decided to forget it.

Anyway, both men and women have no plans to go on a blind date, and I'm a little curious when Akashi-kun will find out that he has a fake kiss.

After Akashi left, Jono Choiju shook off the water from the wig and put it on his head again.

"That person should be the only son of the Akashi family. Marrying him can save you at least 20 years of struggle. Anyway, you have both been on blind dates, so why not make mistakes?"

I said disapprovingly: "You underestimate me too much, 20 years is not enough, I don't think I need to struggle for the rest of my life."

Although judging from my current savings, if I don't pursue material things, it is enough to be a rice bug who eats and waits to die.

But judging by the rate at which my hair is falling out, it's impossible not to struggle.

"Then you marry me? Maybe you don't have to fight anymore."

Tiaoye Caiju said in that joking tone

I rolled my eyes skyward.

"Because you can't hear my 'heart', and you always turn over at my place, so you think I'm quite interesting, don't you?"

Tiaoye Caiju smiled and said, "It's rare for people to be confused in life, don't you think so?"

I "tssed" and said in a long voice: "If you can die young and leave all your inheritance to me, I can still consider it; or do you mind if I kill you after you get married?"

"Forget it." Tiao Ye Caiju sighed regretfully, and spread his hands: "I have always been the only one who killed others, and no one has ever killed me."

The sea breeze brings a long siren sound, wading through the water.

I shivered in the wind.

"Is it cold?" Tiaoye Caiju tilted his head towards me: "Get on the boat."

When I saw the luxury cruise ship "Octopus" of Gaosui's family from a distance, I found that it was even more spectacular than I imagined - 14 tons, 325 meters of hull, and the height of 70 meters is almost equivalent to 15 floors There are [-] floors on the ship alone.

When this behemoth is moored at the pier in Tokyo Bay, it looks like a giant sleeping in the water.

"This cruise ship is usually a money-making tool. If you take it across the Pacific Ocean, you need to pay anywhere from five thousand to tens of thousands of dollars."

After boarding the cruise ship, Joye Caiju explained to me on the deck.

"The Gaosui family is quite good at making money."

I stood on the sightseeing gangway and looked into the distance, remembering all the fast passages, as well as the positions of life buoys and lifeboats.

This is a habit developed over the years. No matter where you go, remember the terrain first.

Expensive tickets correspond to high-end services.

Fearing that the guests would be bored, Gao Sui’s family thoughtfully set up various entertainment facilities on the cruise ship-library, gym, cinema, swimming pool, hot spring, billiard hall, restaurant, bar, dance hall...these are all routine.

It is said that there are tens of thousands of cases of wine in the wine cellar alone.

I even discovered the Cowherd Club on the boat. In order to let the ladies have fun, the Takasu family spared no expense to invite the top names from each store to the reception.

I'm so happy!

Tiaoye Caiju quickly grabbed my back collar.

"Can you be a little bit promising, Ha Lazi is about to flow out."

"It has nothing to do with me. My feet and Harazi have their own ideas."

Tiaoye Caiju dragged me to the allocated room without any explanation, and the two of us were next to each other.

By the way, my room number is very good, which fits my temperament very well. The brown-red solid wood door is inlaid with golden Arabic numerals - 233.

I looked at the room number and fell into thought, then curiously asked the waiter who helped me with my luggage: "Is there room '666'?"

"Not only 666, but also 521, 888, and 1314." The waiter answered me well: "Usually as a passenger ship, these representative room numbers are more expensive than other rooms.

Profiteers, too good at making money!

After the waiter left, I asked Tiao Yecaiju: "Except for the 'Octopus' being used as a passenger ship, what business does Gao Sui's family do?"

"In the old days, he made his fortune selling seafood, and later he started selling arms|arms. After the war, the arms business was banned. The Gaosui family donated most of their wealth, which was regarded as buying peace with money. After that, they were all engaged in high-tech related industries. .”

Tiaoye Caiju paused, and continued: "However, the descendants of the Gaosui family are withered, and they may not be able to maintain their status as the richest man. It is said that the previous head of the family was assassinated by a criminal organization. The current head of the family is the grandson of the previous head of the family. One son and one daughter, and now there is only one son left; the branch family has a large population, but it doesn’t look very decent, and it only likes to engage in internal strife.”

"Why is there only one son left in my family?"

I thought those two were killed by the separation of families, but after listening to Tiao Ye Caiju's narration, it seems that it is not the case.

"The eldest is a wimp, who only knows how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble; the second inherited the frailty of the previous patriarch's son, his grandfather, and died more than ten years ago; It was a shot. In the early years, the old man of the Gaosui family wanted to pass on the position of heir to the younger daughter, but for some reason, she was expelled from the family in the end."

I suddenly felt that the rich melons were also delicious.

"What did she do to get her dismissed?"

"Hmm...let me think about it." Tiaoye Caiju squeezed her chin and recalled: "It seems that she left her new husband and guests on the wedding day and eloped with others."

I couldn't help whistling: "So explosive? Are Gao Sui's family and the groom's family mad?"

Tiaoye Caiju showed an expression similar to watching a good show: "The groom is the father of Akashi-kun who went on a blind date with you. By the way, Gaosui Carambola is the daughter of the second child of Gaosui's family who died young."

"..." I couldn't help showing a look of pity: "This father feels that he was let off the dove once, so why should he let his son experience the feeling of being let off the dove?"

Tiaoye Caiju replied calmly: "When he was escaped from marriage, the Gaosui family should have given away some benefits, otherwise the Akashi family would not let it go, and would not agree to let their only son date a girl from the Gaosui family."

I don't really care about the interests sold by the Gaosui family, but I think the history is surprisingly similar.

Human beings always seem to be repeating the same mistakes. For example, Akashi-kun's father was run away from marriage, and now Akashi-kun is run away from a blind date.

The system stopped reading doggerel in my head, and began to sing instead: [When I grow up, I will be you, walking the way you came~]

Although I haven't heard it, I don't think these two lines of lyrics seem to be a song.

After sending the luggage into the room, Tiaoye Caiju and I wanted to go out for a stroll, but within a few steps, he met a bunch of acquaintances in the business field.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he returned to the room with a bad expression on his face, and lay still on the bed.

"Aren't you going out?"

"Seeing acquaintances who need to socialize, all with smiles on their faces, I wish you would die quickly; and those people, regardless of men or women, always smell very pungent, which will hurt my precious sense of smell and breathing. It's annoying too, it's all in my ears."

Tiaoye Caiju complained wearily, raised a hand and waved at me: "I won't go out, you can play by yourself."

"You're not such a glass-hearted person, are you?"

I was a little puzzled. According to my usual observations, Tiaoye Caiju is the kind of person who has a bad personality and exudes the smell of "I just like the way you can't understand me and can't kill me".

This kind of listless appearance is really quite rare.

No, it should be the first time I saw you.

But I didn't delve into it. After all, people have their own reasons. If you ask too much, you'll be disgusted by people.

So I happily left my little friend to play by myself.

My goal is of course the Cowherd Club, but before going to the club, I still want to take a good look around. After all, it is the first time to board such a luxury cruise ship, and you must have a long experience.

The "Octopus" is not so much a ship as it is a huge amusement park. I even saw stalls making octopus balls and teppanyaki squid on the deck.

As I was wandering around with a piping hot box of takoyaki, I ran into an unexpected acquaintance.

"Why is it you again!"

I stare at the white clowns on deck performing magic tricks for children.

Mr. Clown waved his cloak to create a flock of seagulls, causing the children to applaud.

After coaxing the group of children away, he came over, took off his hat and bowed gentlemanly to me.

"It's time to guess the quiz!" Mr. Clown straightened up and pointed his finger at me: "Why did the clown appear here? The answer is that he was invited by the owner of the big boat to perform~"

I:"……"

Mr. Clown still hasn't changed at all.

"Then guess why I'm here?"

"Because Maria is a mermaid~"

Mr. Clown turned around, leaned in front of me, and said with a smile: "The Little Mermaid belongs to the sea, and the cruise ship also belongs to the sea."

I looked down at my legs: "I don't have a fish tail."

Mr. Clown bent his long and narrow eyes, and said meaningfully: "Walking hurts, falling in love with someone hurts, and in the end it will turn into sea foam, so it's better to be a free seagull, don't you think?"

I nodded with a vague understanding: "Is...?"

To be honest, sometimes what Mr. Clown says makes sense, but most of the time he doesn't quite understand it.

After he had just said a few words, Mr. Clown was called away by the person in charge on the ship. He had just gone two steps before running back suddenly.

"By the way, here you are."

He asked me to wear it in my coat, then lifted the cloak, and poured out a pile of crimson round fruit.

"Lychees?" I was a little puzzled: "Are there any lychees this season?"

Mr. Clown winked mischievously at me, and said in a low voice, "I stole it from the kitchen, and I will share half with you. Eat it yourself and don't give it to others~"

After speaking, I pinched one of my small octopus balls and stuffed it into my mouth. While muttering "hot hot hot", I happily ran away with the person in charge.

I looked at the pile of lychees, thought about it, and went back to the room, I couldn't just wander around with a bag of lychees.

The moment I opened the door, I paused.

There was more cold and salty water vapor in the room than before I left, and I even heard the sound of water dripping on the floor.

"Tick-tick-tick-"

There was a black figure squatting next to the bedside table. He couldn't see the face of the other person, only knew that he was a very thin person, dripping wet, with seaweed-like wavy long hair hanging down to the ground.

I pushed the door behind my back, put the lychees and octopus balls on the table in a calm manner, and slipped out a small knife from my sleeve.

The man seemed to hear the sound, and turned his head 180 degrees like an owl, and I even heard the creaking and rubbing sound of the other's neck.

I finally saw the appearance of this "person"——

The foreigner has a dark silhouette, no highlights, gloomy temperament, pale face, thin and sunken cheeks, and a lifeless appearance.

Damn, did I stumble into the scene of some ghost movie? !

I glanced at the palm-length knife... Can anyone give me a magic-breaking arrow or a sun-knife?

"Ghost" tilted his head, his neck made that stiff creaking sound again, and stared blankly at me... the table behind him.

"Excuse me..." He pointed behind me and said slowly, "Can I eat that? I'm so hungry."

Using the word "please", this "ghost" is quite polite.

I sighed in my heart, and said with a blank face: "Lychee?"

"No."

He raised his hand again, under my vigilant gaze, tentatively stretched out a green... tentacles with suction cups on his wrist? ? ?

The tentacles gradually stretched out, skipped past me, and poked the paper box of octopus balls on the table.

He still said in that toneless, slow voice: "It smells delicious, can I eat it?"

I:"……"

I thought about it, octopuses are also tentacles, and this thing that doesn't know whether it is a human or a ghost is also a tentacles.

But the complaints are the same, I still picked up the paper box containing the octopus balls, so I saw the eyes of the man in front of me moving with the box.

Seeing him like this, I had a thought, holding the box and moving it left and right, only to see the man's head swaying from side to side following my movements, and the empty eyeballs seemed to be attached to the box.

...What's the matter with being a little cute?

I thought for a moment and asked him, "Want to eat?"

The man nodded and said frankly, "Yes."

"Answer my question well, and I'll feed it to you, how about it?"

The man was silent for a moment, and said in a very unmotivated voice: "It's so troublesome, then you should ask quickly."

I stared at him closely, holding the paper box in one hand and the handle of the knife in the other: "Are you a human or a ghost?"

"people."

"How can humans have tentacles?"

"That's my ability "Old Ruler". "

"what's your name?"

"I've been asleep for too long and I forgot." The man put his fingers on his chin and thought for a long time: "Howard Philip Lovecraft...it should be that name."

"Mr. Lovecraft." I nodded slightly and continued to ask, "What are you doing in my room?"

The man's expression was blank with a little helplessness.

"Your room? I don't know... I just remember that I was sleeping, and something was very noisy, which woke me up. I found a boat above my head in a daze, so I climbed on the bottom of the boat and continued to sleep. As soon as the boat moved, the loud sound became farther and farther away, and then..."

He scratched his hair and said naively: "I don't remember, maybe it was sleepwalking."

The "Octopus" took the Pacific route, that is to say, the tentacle man might have come from the United States and was brought to Tokyo Bay by the "Octopus" unconsciously.

A flash of inspiration came to my mind, and a certain possibility suddenly occurred to me—could the five dead who saw the giant octopus see him?

"The last question, do you have the ability to brainwash other people, or make other people commit suicide?"

Lovecraft's expression looked even more dull: "Why do I have this ability?"

That appears to be gone.

So those few suicides had nothing to do with this tentacle-type man, they were simply brainwashed by the gangster organization. Even if they really saw him, they would think that the gods they believed in were manifest.

As for whether this tentacle is likely to lie, I think it is unlikely.

"Eat." I handed him the octopus balls: "I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back soon, don't run around."

I left the room and went to the next door.

No matter what breaks into my house, Tiaoye Caiju can hear the sound, but this time there is no response.

I don't feel right.

I was suspicious, so I knocked on the door of Tiao Yecaiju's room, but there was no movement inside. I secretly opened the door lock and took a look, but there was no one in the room.

This guy said he was going to stay in the room and let me play by myself, but he sneaked out in the end.

Hmm, suspicious.

I went back to the room and ticked my fingers at Lovecraft: "Are you still hungry, I'll take you to eat something else."

He stood up and followed me obediently.

So in addition to octopus balls, I also took him to eat bombed squid rings, iron plate squid, grilled octopus, grilled octopus skewers, steamed squid eggs...

Seeing how delicious his food was, I suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of refreshment.

"thanks for treatment."

After eating and drinking, Lovecraft asked me, "You can ask me to do something for you."

Seeing that he seemed very serious, I asked puzzledly, "Is everything okay?"

"It's all right," Lovecraft said in that weak tone. "Is there anything you want to achieve? I can go back to sleep when I'm done."

I thought to myself that this person is quite gracious.

In fact, thanks to him showing up on his own initiative, he saved me the trouble of looking for a giant octopus. I already know how to write the report of the hound... Well, if it involves foreign supernatural beings, the Supernatural Secret Service Division also needs to report. Finding the new material of foreign superpowers can be regarded as a small achievement.

I said casually in a half-joking tone: "Then bless me for a safe journey."

It's just that I invited him to a meal, and the food was still his kind (tentacles). I really felt uneasy if I asked him to do something for me.

As for my wish, except for a barber who can transplant hair, probably no one can help me realize it.

Lovecraft looked at me seriously and nodded slightly: "Is the journey safe...I see."

Then, he jumped into the sea with a plop.

I:"???"

Did I just say safe journey?I didn't say let him jump into the sea, did I?

What a weirdo.

I shook my head and sighed.

Because I have been taking Lovecraft to eat and eat, before I can go to the Cowherd Club, the formal reception and dinner began.

Before the reception started, I went back to my room and knocked on the door next door.

Tiaoye Caiju opened the door and poked his head out: "What are you doing?"

"Aren't you going to the reception?"

"No, it's too noisy, too smelly." Tiaoye Caiju squeezed the space between his eyebrows: "Just grab any member of Gaosui's family and bring them back for me to torture."

I put on a half-smile and said, "Let me do all the work, Mr. Tiaoye, why are you here on the boat?"

Tiaoye Caiju showed a surprised expression: "I have an invitation letter, how can you come here if I don't bring you?"

I:"……"

It makes sense, but I was speechless.

I feel that Tiao Ye Caiju has been a little bit wrong since he got on the boat.

Thinking of this, I calmly said, "Just now I went around on the boat, there are so many interesting places, it's a pity that you didn't go out for a stroll."

After a pause, I continued: "Aren't you bored just lying on the bed like this?"

Will Tiaoye Caiju admit that he has left the room?

"Go play by yourself, don't forget the mission."

After finishing speaking, he closed the door with a bang in front of me.

It's not right, it's so wrong!

Tiaoye Caiju definitely has something to hide from me.

In view of his keen five senses, he can always detect the truth in advance that ordinary people can't detect, so... Could it be that he sniffed out something?

With such doubts, I went to the hall where the reception was held.

Although the giant octopus is basically confirmed, the relationship between the Takaho family and the boss is still unknown.

Of the three descendants of Patriarch Gaosui, only the eldest son is left. I used my mobile phone to check the appearance of the eldest son, and when I arrived at the hall, I began to look around for the eldest son.

"Miss, would you please dance with me?"

"I'm sorry, but I'm a big guy in women's clothing."

After rejecting four men who invited to dance in a row, I finally found the figure of the boss of Gao Sui's family. Just as I was about to step forward, a flash of bright orange red like the morning sun flashed past my eyes, and it stopped immediately my pace.

My expression froze instantly.

Central Plains? !Why is he here? ! !

A black figure wearing a top hat appeared in front of the boss of Gao Sui's family. They seemed to be talking about something, but I didn't hear what they said, because I turned and fled the hall subconsciously.

I stood on the deck, leaning on the railing, and took a deep breath of the moist, salty air.

"Can I just get off the boat?"

I said to the system with some collapse.

【Host, getting off the boat at this time is jumping into the sea. 】

I squeezed my forehead with a headache: "Nakahara Chuya has been looking for 'Takaho Yuka' recently. If he really caught him, it would be no different from jumping into the sea."

I decided to avoid the limelight first, and then go to the boss of Gao Sui's family later.

At this time, everyone was busy socializing at the reception, and there was no one on the deck, which was very clean.About 10 minutes later, I was just about to sneak back to the lobby to see if anyone was gone, when suddenly there was the sound of steady footsteps behind me.

"Do you mind if I smoke a cigarette here?"

Hearing this familiar voice, I wailed in my heart.

What is my fate? !

I tilt my head.Preventing the other party from seeing my face, I squeezed my throat and whispered, "I don't mind, please go ahead."

As soon as the voice fell, I heard the sound of a lighter.

I hung my head, turned my feet, and passed Zhongyuan Zhongye.

Yay, pass safely!

Just when I breathed a sigh of relief, Zhong Yuanzhong also seemed to react and turned around suddenly.

"Wait!" He caught up with me, stood in front of me, and said hesitantly, "You... raise your head."

I sighed inwardly, and slowly raised my head.

Zhong Yuanzhong also froze, his expression was blank for a moment, and then he narrowed his eyes.

"Takaho Yuka."

He pronounced my name word by word, and those cobalt blue eyes fell heavily on me, with sharp coldness and quiet anger.
