A small piece of bamboo is abruptly planted beside the park. There is a winding stone path in the middle of the bamboo, with a diameter of no more than five meters, and you can see the opposite side at a glance.
There is a thin layer of white fog in the middle of the road, making the street scene on the opposite side slightly hazy.When Jock stepped on the gravel road, the mist suddenly turned into a thick white mist.swallow him whole.
Joke continued to walk on the gravel road without changing his face. The gravel road he had traveled had already exceeded five meters, ten meters, and fifty meters.
He continued to walk unhurriedly, about [-] steps, when the thick fog in front of him suddenly cleared, and a cool and slightly elegant Japanese-style courtyard suddenly appeared in front of him.
Jock stopped in his tracks. The Japanese-style garden in front of him was on the edge of Kamurocho, where the buildings towered. The neon lights of high-rise buildings are just illusions. .
"Ah, Jock."
Under a withered cherry tree in the yard, Katsushika, who had been helping Jock all these years, was sitting by the pool, his feet patting the water.
Jock found a place to sit down casually, and he wasn't too dirty.But for a while, he was not very easy to speak.
This feeling is like a man who is fooling around outside and asks his family for money as soon as he returns home, which makes him feel embarrassed and a little despicable.
Jock groped around in embarrassment, but in the end he only found a shriveled cigarette case.
Katsushika Ying seemed to have discovered the predicament of Joker, she handed out the long tobacco rod in her hand to the direction of Joker and asked:
"Would you like to try this on me?"
"Ahem, forget it, I don't have such a strong taste."
Joke politely declined Katsushika Yingwei's cigarette stick, and a trace of regret flashed across Katsushika Yingwei's face.
Katsushika shrugged his shoulders, but he didn't care.She admired Jock's embarrassment with great interest, and she knew how difficult it was for Jock's bad temper to ask him to ask for help.
"You came to me probably because of the recent Shinomiya robbery." Katsushika Ouwei finally decided to let Joke go, "Did you come to me because someone from the Shinomiya family found your trace?"
Jock wasn't too surprised that Katsushika knew about Shinomiya, she always seemed to know everything.
"It's indeed related to the Fourth Palace. But it's not that they came to the door. If so, it would be easier."
The downside of usually pulling the trigger more than talking is evident at this moment. Jock tried to say something witty, but he couldn't come up with a good stalk after searching.
"Jock, why do you have to grab it? If you're short of money, just tell me?" Katsushika should give Jock a soft look, as if to say why he wanted to grab that little money.
"No, I didn't go for the money." Jock immediately denied, "One of my sources of information told me that the main house of the Shinomiya family has some ancient manuscripts and black magic items, and it seems that there is something about dreams. Influenced, I thought I could find some answers."
3. School day
Katsushika Yingwei blew out a smoke ring, she tilted her head, and glanced at Jock, who was more irritable and irritable than when she came last time.
She was very aware of Jock's recent situation.Troubled by strange dreams, Jock sleeps less than ten hours a week.It has been three years since he came to Japan, and he has never given up searching for the source of the dream, but he has always found nothing.
He attacked all kinds of gods, non-human races, civil organizations, or ransacked the treasuries and banks of major chaebols, in order to find some precious items, or rare manuscripts and pages.
But for three years, Jock has gotten nothing.
Jock was getting less and less sleep, and his temper was getting more and more irritable.From time to time, endless nagging came from my ears.His condition did not ease in any way, and the dreams and whispers still haunted him.
"I already know why you came here." Katsushika Yingwei said.
Jock almost blurted out "You know again?" But he still controlled his tongue in the end. Jock, who has always been defiant, was a little reserved, and Kato might be shocked to see him here.
"If it's just this kind of thing, it doesn't matter. Compared with this, I care more about your body. You can't stay awake all the time." Katsushika looked at Jock with a little worry in his eyes, "I will help you, I've been doing the same for the past three years, remember what I said to you when we first met?"
Jock recalled the first words that Katsushika, who fell from the sky when he was covered in mud in the South American swamp, said to him.
"You say, 'I'm on your side no matter what.'"
"That's right." Katsushika Yingwei nodded lightly, "Next time you don't need to be so hesitant and cautious, because I will always be on your side."
"I'll always help you, Jock."
Jock doesn't understand why Katsushika Yingwei would help him. In his opinion, there is no love without reason in this world, and because of this, Jock doesn't like to owe too much favor to Katsushika Yingwei.It always made him feel uneasy.
"If you really feel uneasy." Katsushika Yingwei seemed to have seen through Jock's mind completely, "Then you can also agree to one of my requests."
"What?" Jock suddenly had a bad premonition.
Katsushika Yingwei smiled, she stood up from the pool with bare feet, and stepped on the gravel road without any scruples.
Approaching Jock, he exhaled a smoke ring and whispered in his ear:
"Then, how about you just promise me that you will finish your high school studies well this time?"
"???"
Jock's expression changed from doubt to confusion, from confusion to stiffness, and from stiffness to disbelief in half a second.
"What? Go to school?!" Jock roared exaggeratedly.
The expression on Jock's face made Katsushika smile amusedly, and he covered his mouth lightly to keep himself from making a sound as much as possible, but the effect was not obvious.
If there was a third party here, they might have thought that Katsushika Ouei had made some serious request just now.
But for Joker, the requirement of going to school is really not as good as going up the mountain of swords and down the sea of fire.
"But why??" Jock asked with his mouth wide open, "Why do you want to go to school? You forgot the duck that died when you insisted I go to school last time..."
"Kashida Taku."
"Yes! Kamoshida Taku. Do you remember how badly this Olympic champion died? Don't be kidding me, I'm not fit to go to school at all."
"Besides, someone like me is crammed into a classroom with a bunch of teenage brats? Can you imagine what this scene is like?"
Seeing that Jock's reaction was so intense, Katsushika Yingwei became interested instead, and she interrupted Jock's complaint with a smile.
"Then will you go or not? Of course, even if you don't go, I will help you." Katsushika Yingwei exhaled another smoke ring and said, "But this is what I ask you to do. Jock, go and be a good person." As a high school student, no matter what your grades are, at least bring your diploma in front of me."
"Ah, of course, it doesn't matter if you continue your work in Kamurocho. As long as you finish your studies as we agreed."
"How, will you promise me?"
Katsushika Yingwei stretched out his white and slender palm, and Joker seemed to be finally signing a contract that would make him suffer for half his life, his face was full of pain.
But he finally held Katsushika Ouwei's hand.
"Okay, I promise you." Joker held Katsushika's hand and promised, "I will go to school, just find any school."
"Of course not." Katsushika Yingwei immediately retorted, "Isn't it meaningless if you go to a place like Ishiyamo or Suzuran?"
"I'll help you arrange things like school, just wait and go to school."
When Jock left Katsushika's place, his expression was a little dazed.
He recalled the inhumane consequences of being forced into a school the last time.
A volleyball coach, who seems to be an Olympic champion or something, seems to be very unimpressed with Joke, a transfer student.
At a certain club event, when the curly-haired teacher provoked him again, Joke finally couldn't restrain himself, and his bad temper instantly flared up.The smart IQ discarded the helmet and armor, and the brainless rage occupied the high ground.
After that, Jock at least knew that no matter what reached supersonic speed, it was quite powerful, even if it was just a volleyball.
"Damn it, I actually agreed."
Jock couldn't believe that he actually agreed to this shameful Play, a completely overage person going to repeat high school, what kind of punishment game is this.
And it is not an exaggeration to say that as a Chinese traveler, Joke swaggered and disgraced all the male protagonists in similar novels. When he was in school, he used various postures to occupy the bottom place.
Leaving aside Jock's knowledge, he has almost returned it to the teacher. Even if he remembers all of it, this messy world is completely different from his previous life.
How did I come across this kind of thing?
Yes, it's Kato!
Jock suddenly came to his senses, it was because of Kato himself that he went back to ask Katsushika Oo for help!
Obviously, Jock has completely forgotten that Kato was in danger because he robbed the fourth house, and now he just wants to find someone to scold him.
He fumbled in his pocket, but couldn't find the phone.Looking around, he randomly found a young man who was playing with his mobile phone and drinking milk tea, and snatched his mobile phone away.
The young man who was robbed of his mobile phone seemed to be a high school student. He probably came to Kamurocho to "gain knowledge".
The young man was stunned for half a second when his mobile phone was snatched away. Just as he was about to explode, a cold and reliable gun barrel made him calm down quickly.
The shotgun still smelled of gunpowder smoke, and the young man's nerves became tense. This gun did not look like a fake from head to toe.
Jock turned off some kind of mobile game, dialed Kato's number, and after a short prompt tone, the call was connected.
"Hey~ This is Kato's house——"
"Jato, you bastard is no longer a human being! I even want to sacrifice my life for your bastard! How are you going to pay for it, ah?"
The other end of the phone fell silent, obviously overwhelmed by the elegant greeting.
4. Elegant and easy-going, honest and responsible
The voice on the other end of the phone was a little strange. Unless he traveled through the world for the second time, it was impossible for Kato's old man's voice to suddenly become so young.
"Kato?" Jock looked at the phone suspiciously, "Who is answering the phone?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was a little dazed and paused for a few seconds before speaking again.
"Hey, Kato's words are right, this is Kato's house."
The voice was a little hesitant and worried. Although it sounded strange to Jock, it always felt a little listless.
After confirming that he did not dial the wrong number, Jock continued to ask, "Who is the original owner of this number?"
The voice on the other side of the phone was silent again for a few seconds, as if hesitating whether to answer truthfully, but in the end the honesty prevailed.
"...Well, it's Dad."
"Then let your dad answer the phone."
Jock is not interested in saying one more word to Kato's daughter.He remembered that Kato's daughter was still in high school, so there was no need to let her know what was going on.
The little girl on the other side of the phone said obediently, "Oh."After that, there was a lot of noise from the phone, such as opening doors and going up stairs.
Jock vaguely heard the conversation between the two and Kato's familiar voice.
Kato answered the phone amidst worried inquiries like "Dad, are you doing anything bad?"
"Hello, who is it?"
"It's the first shovel of soil from your female horse's grave."
Hearing this elegant and easy-going greeting, Kato instantly understood who the caller was.
Late at night in Japan, a civil servant finally had time to relax after a long day at work.
At this time, the arrival of a phone call caught him off guard.
The dialects of Guangdong, Sichuan, Northeast and other places are mixed with each other, coupled with the unique and beautiful Chinese language, the tradition and the anti-tradition are fused together to form a unique cultural feast.
In a traditional Japanese family, such an experience can be said to be unique.
Kato knows very well that a qualified Chinese dialect should be well-spoken and well-structured.Those who are good at citing classics are the best choice, and at this time, the ancient language and modern words once again triggered a wonderful and unique chemical reaction.Smart people can always express their thoughts in an intuitive way. This language transcends time and history, and integrates regions and national boundaries.
The only fly in the ointment is that Kato didn't understand Jock's justice speech just now.
Obviously, a Japanese civil servant who can say "Thank you, hello" at most can't understand the kind greetings mixed with many dialects.
I don't know how long it took before Joke stopped cursing. The little brother who was pointed at by him with a gun looked dazed. He couldn't understand what the man in front of him said. He only knew that his hands were going numb.
Kato glanced nervously at the study door, subconsciously lowered his voice.
"Jock, what are you doing?!" Kato finally found a chance to interject, "Did you see the message I gave you, and whose number is this?"
Joke scolded for an indeterminate amount of time, holding his phone between his hands, contentedly snatching the milk tea from the little brother's hand, drank it clean and returned the empty cup to him.
"Shut up. Ignore the cause and effect, I may have to go to a school for a while soon." Joker explained impatiently, "But you shouldn't have to worry about going to jail or losing your job."
"Eh?" Kato didn't recover for a while, but soon showed a pleasant smile, "You are going to study? This is really a good idea. The higher-ups will definitely not go to the school to find a repeat offender who has been rampant for three years. It is indeed a good idea to avoid the limelight!"
Gee.
Jock smacked his lips, and after saying this, Jock came back to his senses, the school is indeed a good place to avoid the limelight.But Katsushika Oei probably didn't let him go to school for this reason.
(Could it be that she really wants me to study hard in school?)
Jock always thought it was just a prank, but when he thought about it carefully, Katsushika Oei seemed to be very serious, and he was not sure if she had other purposes.
"Hello? Hello? Jock, are you still there?"
"...Say something quickly."
Kato and Katsushika should be regarded as one of the few guys who can be called friends that Jock met after four years of traveling. He has extra patience and tolerance for friends.
"Uh, I made a lot of phone calls to tell you." Kato's voice became furtive again, "There was a sudden investigation by the Response Division tonight, but I was excluded as the person in charge of the Shinjuku District. It's coming at you, be careful."
