When he came out of the noodle shop, Qin Jiu sensed a strange smell for a short time, but it only disappeared in a flash. When he realized it, the smell had disappeared.

"What's wrong?" Seeing him suddenly stop, Akai Hideichi asked strangely.

"It's nothing." Gin Jiu glanced back at the noodle shop, then at Akai Shuichi, "I have classes in the afternoon, and I want to go back to the dormitory to rest first."

"Okay, I'll take you back." As Akai Shuichi said, the corners of his lips curled up as if thinking of something, "I don't have to, if you remember the way back to the dormitory."

"..."

Gin tried to recall the way from the school gate to the dormitory—remembered some vague outlines, but if he had to walk by himself, there was a 90.00% probability that he would get lost.

Is the road to this school a maze?

The corner of Qin Jiu's mouth twitched: "Senior, please guide me again, I will remember it next time!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't remember," Akai Hideichi couldn't help laughing, "I can give you my phone number, and you can come to me anytime if you need it."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper with a series of numbers written on it from his pocket and handed it over, smiling innocently and innocently: "In exchange, please also tell me your number."

Gin took the note and unfolded it—a string of familiar numbers, both from Akai Shuichi and Zhu Xingda.

This person seemed to remind Gin with small details all the time that they had an unforgettable past.

Although there were not many happy things in that period of the past, even when we were together, the weather was overcast and sunny. What I saw most was either the heavy fog in London or the snow in Hokkaido. It was wet and cold, so that the pictures of memories were always like It's as gray as an old movie.

He felt that it was very precious.

Gin used to be a lunatic, and in the same period of time, Akai Shuichi was no less insane than him.

"Senior, did you prepare for it?" Qin Jiu's voice lowered, and the tone of this sentence was closer to his original voice than the deliberately adjusted false voice.

Akai Shuichi's heart skipped a beat, subconsciously stopped, and replied with a serious smile: "Of course."

Qin Jiu raised his eyebrows and asked knowingly, "Why?"

Hideo Akai put his hands into his pockets, and when he heard this, he reflexively wanted to take out cigarettes or chocolate bars, but found that he didn't bring these two things.

Turning his head away, Gin was still looking at him, waiting for his answer.

Akai Shuichi thought for a moment, and chose the most old-fashioned answer in his own language system: "Do you believe in love at first sight?"

This answer is really old-fashioned, but no matter how many times he listens to it, he seems to say it very sincerely.

So Qin Jiu thought about it for a while, pointed to his face, and said in a "Gin Jiu" tone: "If the senior is willing to take off this layer of fake skin on his face, maybe I will believe it a little bit."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about Akai Hideichi's reaction, and walked away.

Akai Shuichi stood where he was, looking at his back as he did when we parted for the first time: "I thought you would continue to play dumb, GIN."

"I thought you would pretend for another two days, Zhu Xingda." Qin Jiu sneered and kept walking, "You really don't change your mind. After all these years, you still only know one way to say things."

Akai Shuichi laughed.

This cold and arrogant sarcasm is really the gin in his impression.

Stop pretending, I'm showing my cards.jpg

Akai Hideo ran to catch up with Gin, reached out and grabbed his arm: "Maybe I can think that you are willing to accept me?"

"You think too much, senior." Gin emphasized the pronunciation of the last word, and turned his head to look at him coldly, "I just don't want to act with you anymore, you know, being an actor is a very tiring profession."

"Since this is the case, are you still willing to be honest with me, and you are not afraid that I will tell others your identity?" Facing his cold face, Akai Shuichi had sufficient experience in dealing with it.

"You can't find out the problem with my identity, so what if you tell me?" Qin Jiu adjusted his glasses, he didn't know if he forgot or didn't pay attention, but he didn't shake off his hand anyway, "Let's not talk about it first, Toru Amuro will be the first to think that you are thinking too much about 'gin' and have hallucinations."

"So, this is an unsolvable question. Under this question, you are free, and so am I."

Akai Shuichi's persistence has penetrated deep into his bones. He tied the red thread that Yuelao had entangled them, and life and death would be entangled together.

Qin Jiu could hear the obsession hidden in his calm tone, and paused: "If I never accept you, are you going to pester me forever?"

"This is your second life, so to be exact," Akai Hideichi raised two fingers, "it's two lives."

Qin Jiu narrowed his eyes and was about to say something, when he suddenly heard a loud bang behind him, and purple-black flames shot up into the sky from the grass behind him, and the thick smoke was like melted ink, covering half of the sky in black .

Akai Hideo subconsciously stood in front of Qin Jiu, and touched the gun behind his waist, but found nothing.

Qin Jiu gave him a sideways glance, and stepped forward to stand beside him: "Don't get too close, just check the situation."

"Have I become so reckless and stupid in your mind?"

After the two revealed their identities, they relaxed a lot when talking, and no longer held their hands like before, one was pretending, the other was pretending to be stupid.

Not bothering to pay attention to him, Gin concentrated on observing the place where the flames came out in front of him. Strangely, the grass there was intact, and the flames attached to the blades of grass did not destroy anything, but burned silently and for a long time.

The two waited for a while, and saw that the grass was pushed aside, and a beautiful and elegant girl walked out of it in a daze.

"It's not him...it's not him..."

As if she hadn't seen the two of them, the girl walked past them like a ghost, muttering something in her mouth.

"Not me...not me..."

"is her?"

Qin Jiu recognized her as a girl who was sitting at the table next to him in the noodle shop just now.At the same time, Akai Shuichi also said the same thing to him.

"You know her?" Gin looked at Akai Shuichi against the still flames and the dense fog covering the sky.

"She is the target of my mission to enter this university this time, and she has a lot of background." Akai Shuichi explained, with complicated eyes, "His father suspected that she was in love with someone, and asked me to find her love partner. But look at her The way it is now... I think this task should be done by the priest."

"Not necessarily." Qin Jiu had done several missions, and his field of vision was much wider than his, but the direction of the widening was somewhat off. "She may really be in love—but not with humans."

There was no one around, and a sudden gust of cool wind made Hideichi Akai's hairs stand on end.

He began to miss the calming effect of cigarettes, but his face remained calm: "I pushed back this task when I got back. If the person who fell in love with her is not a human being, then a human being may not be able to complete this task."

Qin Jiu looked at him in surprise, and suddenly smiled: "You will believe me when I tell you?"

"……what?"

Gin shook his head, and stopped looking at those weird flames and thick smoke, and strode forward.

Akai Hideki was stunned for a moment, as if realizing something, he also smiled and chased after him.

"Were you kidding me just now?"

"It doesn't have to be a joke, human."

……

Back in the dormitory, Gin was still in the same relaxed mood as when he was outside, but the smile on his face was put away.

He sat on the bed, slowly untied his scarf, took off his coat, and lay down relaxed, ready to take a nap.

God knows how long it has been since he took a nap. The school is really a good place to help people raise their biological clocks and adjust their schedules.

Gin closed his eyes, and just as drowsiness slowly hit him, the long-lost system prompt suddenly popped up.

System prompt: A special person has been detected around the host, and is being investigated——

"What special person?" Qin Jiu asked with a frown.

It can't be Shuichi Akai, can it?Hasn't he been around for 800 years?

System prompt: The investigation has been completed.

System prompt: The special character "Su Lina" holds the special energy of this universe, please take the time to recover it to prevent her from destroying the school again.

"Su Lina is... that girl just now?" Lying down and not looking at the words on the system panel, Gin simply sat up, "To be more specific, what power does she have, and how do I recover it?"

System: Find an opportunity to have physical contact with her for more than five seconds, and the system will automatically recover it.

System: According to human beings, this power is called "monster power".

Gin was taken aback, and his fingers unconsciously clasped the bed sheet: "Is she a monster?"

System: No, she is human, but she got the "demon power" by chance.I detected that this "monster power" contained a strong obsession. If she was not withdrawn as soon as possible, she would be bewitched by the obsession and eventually die under the "monster power" of the riot.

The system prompts: "Demon Power" can be recovered to the system, which can be worth 5.00% of the completion of the main line.

Qin Jiu didn't want to care about this matter at first, after all, he just saw that the flame spawned by the demon power didn't damage every plant and tree in the school, so the "destruction of the school" that the system said was just an exaggeration, not realistic.

But he couldn't stand the system giving too much - 5.00% completion of the main line was enough for him to miss a class.

"Okay, I agree." He nodded without hesitation, put his hands behind his head, and lay back leisurely, "Is there a time limit?"

System: Try to complete it before the final exam on December 29 next month.

"Because I've completed the second round of tasks after the exam?" Qin Jiu chuckled.

System: Yes.

At the end of this exchange, although Qin Jiu still closed his eyes, he did not feel sleepy anymore.

He was thinking about how to have physical contact with Su Lina for more than five seconds. The girl didn't look like she would tolerate the touch of a strange man.On the contrary, her sluggish appearance after releasing her demonic power seemed paradoxical, and the two sentences she muttered seemed to have something to do with it.

Suddenly, Gin thought of Akai Shuichi—he said that Su Lina was his task target.

His eyes opened suddenly, he grabbed the phone from his pocket, without looking at the note with the number on it, he entered Shuichi Akai's phone number.

There was only one ring from the receiver, and the call was picked up.

"What? Can you get lost at the door of the dormitory?" Akai Shuichi asked jokingly, spitting out mouthwash.

Mainly, he really couldn't figure out why Gin called at this time.

"No, I asked you to inquire about someone." Qin Jiu said.

Akai Hideichi smiled in surprise: "Who?"

"Su Lina." Gin leaned relaxedly on the head of the bed, with one leg bent, "Your mission target. I'm very interested in her."

"..."

Akai Hideichi leaned against the wall beside him, raised his hand to pinch the space between his eyebrows, let out a long breath, his face was full of indescribable complexity.

"Tell me what you want to do first."

"I need to have physical contact with her for more than five seconds." Qin Jiu cut off the beginning and left only a conclusion, and said it with confidence, as if he didn't know how easy it is to misunderstand these words alone.

"So fast?" Akai Shuichi blurted out.

"..." Qin Jiu's expression slowly became stiff and cooled, like a shriveled mask on his handsome face, strange and creepy.

"Zhu Xingda, every time you scan (cross out) a fool, you are there."

Akai Shuichi: "...I didn't mean that."
