Very strange.

When I woke up, I saw an extra door in the room.

Zhong Yuanzhong also sat quietly next to me, playing with the Russian nesting doll in his hand.

Seeing that I was awake, he put down the doll and turned to me: "Are you awake? How do you feel?"

"Well, much better."

I felt very tired before, but now I feel refreshed. It seems that the fragrance in the air has a refreshing effect.

Could it be that Tosi saw that I was too tired in the first level, so he deliberately let me take a rest in the second level-is this Russian so kind?

"Chuya, there is an extra door here." I stood up, pointed to the door and said, "There was none before. Did you find the clue?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also looked at me tenderly, his eyes were too gentle, which made me a little puzzled.After a while, he nodded: "That's right."

What does it mean?

"I don't know if it's a trap, but be careful, Tuo Si is very insidious."

I picked up the deformed chair with my left hand, and prepared to throw the chair out after opening the door to see if any accidents would happen.

"Eh?"

Just as I walked to the door, my empty right hand was suddenly held by Nakahara Chuya.

His palm was warm, and the thin calluses on his palm slowly brushed against the back of my hand.

Itchy.

"Chuya, why did you suddenly—" Hmm... take the initiative.

He actually took the initiative to shake my hand?

Could it be to give me some family heirloom?

It’s not that I draw out my hand, it’s not that I don’t draw out my hand, I can only let him hold it.

"Qingxi, you," he hesitated, and said slowly, "can you hold my hand like this and lead me out?"

"...Okay." I held his hand instead and said politely, "Of course it's no problem. Let me try to see if the outside is a trap or a way out."

"Ah."

I slowly opened the door, holding my breath.

Outside is a dark passage, and the wall lamps on both sides can be vaguely seen.

I threw the chair vigorously, and the metal chair legs made a sharp friction sound on the ground. After rolling twice, it lay quietly in the center of the passage.

Just an ordinary passage.

"It looks like nothing is wrong, let's go."

I breathed a sigh of relief, and walked out holding Nakahara Chuya's hand.The passage is straight, the road is flat, and the whole process is unbelievably smooth.

Tosi didn't embarrass us at this level?Conscience discovered?

"We didn't do anything, and we passed the test." I walked happily and said, "Tuosi is not as bad as I imagined."

As a result, he let us lie down and win.

"I thought he was going to play us hard in this level, playing us so that even our own mother didn't know—"

I stopped.

"Chuya, what's wrong with you...?"

Nakahara Chuya suddenly hugged me from behind, his chin gently resting on my shoulder.

I raised my head, the wall lamp exuded a feeble light, stubbornly and persistently cast our overlapping figures on the wall.

Not right.

It's not right.

First, Chuya Nakahara stayed behind me when I opened the door.In the past, no matter what was ahead, he always rushed to the front and let me back.

What's more, he actually asked me to hold his hand. Before I had a little physical contact with him, he would blush for a long time.

Now he actually hugged me from behind.

There must be a conspiracy!

"Qingxi."

His voice was hoarse and low, and he sounded very depressed.

I took a deep breath, then turned around sharply, and punched him in the face, on the bridge of his nose.

It was an unceremonious, full-strength punch.

"Don't think you can hide from me!"

He was stunned, and a trace of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

Nosebleeds trickled down.

"For such a big thing, do you think I'm blind?"

He didn't bother to wipe his nosebleed anymore: "Listen to my explanation."

Of course I can't listen to his explanation, because he is not Nakahara Chuya himself.

"I said, why did I pass this level so easily? It turns out that there is a big conspiracy waiting for me." I raised my chin at him, "What did you do to Zhongya-kun while I was asleep? I I should call you Dostoevsky."

There are two possibilities.

The first possibility is that Tosi created a body the same as Zhongya Zhongye to accommodate his consciousness, and Chuya Zhongya himself has been trapped somewhere here during the period when I fell asleep .

The second possibility is that Tosi's consciousness has entered Chuya's body, because his body has disappeared, and there is only the consciousness that he left everywhere with the help of other people's supernatural powers.

I am more inclined to believe the second.

"I warn you, if you stop me, I will turn you into a duck after I find the book!"

"I'm not that damn Russian!" Zhongya Zhongya wiped his nosebleed, his handsome face twisted, "I'm Chuya Zhongya!"

"Impossible." I shook my head, "Chuya..."

"What's wrong with me?" he asked through gritted teeth.

I want to say how could such a reserved and shy person in Zhongyuan suddenly hug me, but judging by his current expression, he doesn't look like Tuo Si.

Although Tuosi is treacherous and cunning, he has very little mood swings. In the past, he went deep into the enemy's camp to collect information, and was tortured to death. It's dangerous." Besides, if Tuosi got into Zhongye's body, according to his IQ, he shouldn't be able to show his feet so soon.

"Are you really Chuuya?"

"Nonsense! Of course I am." In addition to his anger and anger, his expression was also slightly aggrieved.

I suppressed the embarrassment in my heart, and summoned up the courage to ask: "Then why did you hug me suddenly just now? This doesn't seem like something Zhong would do."

As soon as I finished speaking, his face burst into red again, and no part of his face was spared from his forehead to the roots of his ears and his neck.

"...I'm afraid you'll be cold."

This shy and stubborn expression is exclusive to Chuya Nakahara.

"Why is it cold this day?" I thought for a while and asked, "Well, let me ask you a few questions that only me and Chuya know. If you can answer them, it will prove that you It was not faked by Tosi."

Zhong Yuanzhong also twitched the corners of his mouth, and the veins twitched on his red forehead, but he still agreed: "Forget it, you can ask."

"What was the first movie Chuya and I watched?"

"Hua Shengmi's "The Royal Girl"."

"What animal is on the ice cream that Chuya bought me?"

"rabbit."

"I gave Chuya a gift last month, what is it?"

"lighter."

He answered fluently, and even said the author's name of "The Girl of Power".

He remembers these small details very clearly, in more detail than I do.

I stared into his eyes, and slowly asked the last question: "What is the word on the lighter?"

It was a lighter with a dandelion pattern and a good texture.Although the lighter that Zhong Yuanzhong also owns is not a good thing, he has always carried it with him and used it.

He will never let others down, unlike Tuo Si, who wants what he wants and loses it when he says it.

Nakahara Chuya's Adam's apple twitched, and a shallow sigh overflowed from his thin lips.

"Smoking is bad for your health," he said.

He is Zhongye of the Central Plains, there is no doubt about it.I can feel a touch of loss and sadness from him... Is it because of my distrust?

I tore off a piece of my sleeve, turned it into a handkerchief with my ability, and handed it over to wipe his nosebleeds: "I'm sorry, I doubted you just now and hit you."

He waved his hand: "It's okay." But he didn't refuse me to wipe his nosebleed.

I was a little embarrassed. When I touched the bridge of his nose, my heart sank and I sank.

"Chuya, the bridge of your nose...is broken!"

"Yeah." He smiled nonchalantly, "I can't see that you are quite strong."

"I'm sorry! If I hadn't been so impulsive, I wouldn't have made you—"

The words I didn't say were covered back into my mouth by Nakahara Chuya's hand.

He said solemnly: "I was the one who was impulsive, and I should apologize, but," he paused, turned his face away, and said in a low voice, "I'm not reflecting on myself."

"Ah? What do you mean?" I asked, "Are you provocative?"

The corner of Nakahara Chuya's mouth twitched crazily. He seemed to be very angry at my comprehension ability: "Idiot, that means I don't regret doing that!"

In the dark corridor, there was an instant silence.

Zhongyuan Zhong also turned his head away in embarrassment and anger, and he snatched the handkerchief from me and wiped it himself.

I also get hot in the face because of this line "I don't regret doing that".

Like it's going to burn.

A young man who didn't even dare to hold hands before is now so A, why on earth did he have such an astonishing mutation?

"Yuan Sang, Yuan Sang—"

Just as Zhong Yuan and I were deadlocked in this awkward silence, a familiar voice came from the other end of the passage.

As the sound of running approached, Zhongyuan Zhong also stood in front of me, his eyes locked tightly, staring straight ahead.

"Yuan-sang! It's me! Me and Jinghuajiang!"

Running out of breath, it was Atsushi Nakajima and Jinghua Izumi of the Armed Detective Agency, the two members who discovered and disappeared in the Toss secret room first.

Through the white light from the wall lamp, I saw that both of them had a lot of color on their bodies, and it seemed that they had experienced a fierce battle.

"Dun Jun, Miss Jinghua, are you all right?"

"We're fine," Atsushi Nakajima wiped the sweat off his face, "There are so many secret rooms here, and I don't know what the next secret room is? Why are people from Hong Kong and Heiress here?"

Atsushi Nakajima and Kyoka Izumi felt a little nervous after seeing Chuya Nakahara.I immediately explained: "Now we are cooperating."

"Oh." Quan Jinghua pointed at my back and said, "The third door."

I turned my head and saw the number plate on the door at a glance.

It says--

【Crime and Punishment】.

"What is crime and punishment?" Quan Jinghua asked me.

"Sin is breathing, and punishment is thinking." Sin and punishment are famous sayings that Tuosi often talks about, and they are also the names of his abilities.He claims to be the messenger of God, to punish the sins of this world.

Quan Jinghua asked blankly, "Then you want us to hold our breath and be in a daze?"

She said the same thing as I said to Tuosi back then, and in retrospect, it seems like it happened yesterday.

"Where's Mr. Dazai?" Atsushi Nakajima interrupted my recollection.

I replied, "He's holding the rear."

Zhong Yuanzhong also snorted: "He is being lazy."

Tosi's secret rooms are all arranged by supernatural powers. If they are touched by Osamu Dazai, they will all disappear. According to his personality, it is very likely that even the book we are looking for will never be found again.

What's interesting is that among the four people gathered here, apart from Nakahara Chuya, Nakajima Atsushi and Izumi Kyoka were people who had direct contact with the book a year ago.

And I was in charge of editing the book.

It's almost as if the candidates were deliberately framed.

"In short, go all out."

The doorknob was held, and the [Crime and Punishment] on the doorplate, in black and white, entangled with distinct shadows under the illumination of the wall lamp.

The door was slowly opened.
