After drawing Zhongye SSR

"Maybe he was deliberately found by me."

In the high-end car, Fitzgerald said so while shaking a glass of red wine.The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the white rain curtain hit the car window, and the outside was hazy.

Can't see anything.

Fitzgerald turned the laptop on his lap and gestured for Maki to look at its screen: "God's Eye tracked him for about 70 hours before finding him—there was no trace of him in all of Japan before that." His figure appeared."

On the screen is a real-time monitoring.

Dostoevsky sat in a coffee shop without taking a sip of the black tea in front of him.

"Don't be too pessimistic, sir."

Maki pulled the thin cloak on her body - the cloak covered the heroine uniform she hadn't had time to change.She untied the red hair rope tied around the twin ponytails, and her fluffy and curly hair was casually draped over her shoulders.

The system laughed at her: [Host, you are going to negotiate with some big boss. 】

Maki: "Actually...the current situation is similar."

Although she didn't think Tuo Si was a "big boss".But as far as how dangerous this thing is - there is no doubt that it is very, very dangerous.

But she has to go.

Maki felt as if she was playing a complicated decryption game, and the clues given were only so few.Behind is a fog with no way out, and ahead is an abyss with no way out.

Inopportunely, she thought of Mr. Chuya again.

If she lost herself in this fog, maybe she would never see Mr. Chuya again... Conversely, Mr. Chuya would never see her again.

Her fingers curled slightly on the cloak.

Fitzgerald looked up and saw the girl's eyes dimmed by the light from the mobile phone.

She appears to be texting, fingers twitching on the screen of her phone.

"What are you doing?" Fitzgerald asked.

"There's something for my partner to do later," said Maki, "about my business—anyway, just in case."

Fitzgerald said nothing more.

Maki looked worried, but that worry only stayed on her face for a brief moment, and then all that was left was calm like stagnant water.

Fitzgerald always felt as if he had seen this kind of person somewhere—as if he had everything in his hands, with a little arrogance and a lot of madness.

The car stopped slowly in front of the coffee shop.

Fitzgerald hands Maki an umbrella.

Maki took the umbrella, and Luisa had already stepped outside and opened the car door for her.

When Maki got out of the car, Fitzgerald suddenly said: "You are a bit like him at this time."

Maki paused, "Who?"

Fitzgerald: "Your brother."

Maki shrugged: "Then you are wrong."

She held up the umbrella, and walked into the heavy rain under Fitzgerald's complicated eyes.

*****

Maki opened the door of the cafe.

It was a quiet cafe with a large area and a small semi-open box inside.

Dostoevsky was in one of the boxes.

Maki handed the dripping umbrella to the waiter who came up.The waiter put his hat down very low, and asked her with a smile: "Guest, what do you want?"

"I'm just here to find someone."

Zhenji straightened the cloak on her body, and then approached where Tosi was.

The devil with black mid-length hair sat silently, reading a newspaper from a few days ago.

When Maki walked beside him, Tosi didn't seem surprised at all, but raised his head and said, "You blocked the light."

"Feel sorry."

Maki sat down at the seat opposite him: "Good evening, sir."

Tosi's eyes still stayed on the newspaper: "You are very bold."

Maki fake smiled: "Thank you."

She glanced at the cup of black tea in front of Tuo Si - just like what they saw through the surveillance camera, that cup of black tea had not been taken a sip.

Maki sat up a little straighter, and said slowly: "Speak straight to the point, I want to cooperate with you, sir."

Dosi raised his eyes from the newspaper and looked at her with some surprise.

As if he didn't notice anything, Maki said, "About the Laughing Man—he's not actually your subordinate, is he?"

There was only one time when Maki saw Lifa and Tosi in the same room.

But even if it was only that one time, it was enough for her to see something - when the building collapsed, neither Sigma nor Lifa wanted to control Tosi.

Even if they can't take care of themselves, but if, as Maki knew before, Lifa is really a member of the House of Death, no matter what, they will not leave their boss alone and just run for their lives.

So the status of Lifa and Tosi should be equal...or even higher.

Tosi smiled: "You are not a stupid child. But you are wrong - he is indeed my subordinate, at least, on the surface."

"On the surface...?"

Zhenji heard the implication of Tosi's words, perhaps because of some important reasons, he could not reveal too much about Lifa's situation.

But that's enough.

Maki said, "You don't like him."

She used an affirmative sentence.

Tosi shrugged: "That's a matter of course - after all, no matter what information he got, he would never tell me, and he would always do some incomprehensible things by himself, for example - to kidnap you. "

Maki froze for a moment.

She looked up at Tuosi suddenly, and said with a little surprise: "Is he the only one who proposed to kidnap me?"

Tosi was noncommittal.

But in this case, not negating is equivalent to acquiescence.

Maki thinks quickly, which is very strange, completely different from her previous conjecture - she originally thought that the clue of the "book" was related to her ability, so she prepared to use this as a bargaining chip to exchange information about the book from Tosi .

Yet now.

The kidnapping of Maki turned out to be just Rifa's will.

Maki raised her head suddenly: "So, it's not me who is related to the book..."

"It's the Laughing Man."

Tosi narrowed his eyes, with a lavender halo flowing in his eyes: "I have changed my mind, you are a smart boy."

Maki let out a sigh of relief, frowned and massaged half of his temple with one hand: "You hate him because he didn't report it?"

Tosi said: "It's not just that - he and I have the same ultimate goal, but this is the only thing he and I have in common."

Lifa suddenly appeared in front of them.

He has a lot of secrets, and a lot of information - but for some reason, he likes to hide all these messy information in his heart.

Tosi always felt that as long as Lifa wanted to, he could find the "book" within 3 minutes.

But he never did this, and even made up a lie that the little girl Maki had something to do with books.

All the information from Tosi told him that Zhenji had nothing to do with the book.

Thinking of finding the book, he must find out everything he knows from Lifa's mouth—so, at present, he and Maki's goals have reached a subtle agreement.

Maki said: "I don't care what you are going to do with the book, and you don't need to tell me - all I want to know is 'what does the smiling man know'."

Doth smiled.

He put down the newspaper in his hand, and said softly, "If his mouth is a lock, then only you, Maki Dazai, can open it."

"You're a good chip."

Maki raised her eyes, most of her expression was covered by her hair, so she couldn't see clearly.She was thinking slowly, trying to come up with a meticulous plan——

Finally she said: "I need you to provide the Laughing Man's movements—he should have not given up on me. At the same time, after getting the information, you must help me escape."

"Sounds like a bad deal."

"But you can't do this business without me—he won't tell you anything."

Doth fell silent.He lowered his head and seemed to be thinking.

He finally raised his head and stretched out a hand to Maki: "Have a nice cooperation."

——"Maki!"

Suddenly there was a shout from the side.

Zhen Ji, who was about to shake hands with Tosi, paused.She turned her head and saw Osamu Dazai.

"Don't touch her." Osamu Dazai walked up to Maki vigilantly, he was still wearing the shop assistant's clothes - it was the waiter who helped Maki hold the umbrella before.

He looked at Zhenji with dissatisfaction: "You are too vigilant."

Maki said flatly, "That's why I called you here, Mr. Dazai."

Of course she wouldn't be so stupid and sweet that she came alone to negotiate with this kind of devil.Although Fitzgerald was still waiting for her outside, there was no guarantee that Tosi would use other means to harm her.

It's like she came here today, but she didn't really cooperate for any reason - of course, it's good to get some information, but her real purpose is not this.

Osamu Dazai shrugged helplessly, and then showed Dos a smile like a snake spitting out a message: "This is really a bad meeting, Dostoevsky."

Tosi shrugged: "I have no malice."

"You're going to kill her right now," Osamu Dazai looked at Tosi with a look of listening to a joke, "Who's not malicious?"

Tosi didn't seem to want to explain.He stood up, put away the newspaper, then turned to Maki and said, "We can still cooperate if you want, little girl."

Maki stood there for a while.

Then he said to Osamu Dazai, "I'll go out for a while," and quickly followed Tuo Si out.

Osamu Dazai wanted to stop her, but the little girl's cloak flashed in front of him and disappeared.

Forget it, he thought.

Now that Zhenji knows that it is dangerous to be in contact with Tosi, he should not make fun of his own life.

Maki walked around outside the coffee shop, and finally saw Tosi in a corner.

"gentlemen."

Zhen Ji stood behind Tosi, and the black-haired demon stood in the rain without an umbrella.

He turned back silently, with a hint of doubt in his dark purple eyes.

Maki had a standard smile on his face: "Would you like to shake hands?"

Tosi stretched out his hand silently, and then shook hands with Zhenji.

Unlike everyone else who came into contact with him, Maki didn't die right away - she didn't even show any pain.

Maki wasn't quite sure that she wouldn't die if she shook hands with Tosi - but she had to be sure.

She still remembered that when she was kidnapped before, it was a cold hand that unfastened her blindfold.Lifa was standing in the distance, and Sigma's hand was warm—he had grabbed her wrist once.

And the hand she was holding now had cold fingers.

— Now she was sure, she was indeed not dead.That is to say, for some reason, even Sigma would die if she met Tosi, but Tosi's supernatural power didn't take effect on her.

...Maybe it's because she's not a person with a personality, nor is she a person with superhuman abilities.

Or maybe the reasons are more complicated, for example—maybe, it has something to do with "books".

Sure enough, the system sounded a cold reminder.

[Current progress of main task five: 50%. 】

The system paused for a moment: [Host, you lunatic. 】

"It's worth exchanging one life for an important clue." Maki said.

Besides, this life is even more worthwhile before it is used up.

Maki ignored it, just raised his head and looked at Tosi: "I'm not completely related to books, am I?"

Tosi didn't answer, he just smiled and said: "The adult's world is all lies, little girl."

The author has something to say:

Currently known information:

Rifa and Maki are both related to books

Maki is not affected by Toso's ability
