Chapter 93: Quiet Flow of Heart
Chapter 94: Quiet Flow of Heart
dong dong dong.
"I'm back." Shortly after leaving the guest room, I went straight back to the master bedroom. After I knocked on the door, Jingliu quickly opened it for me.
"Welcome back, Bing." As usual, when I entered the door, I was greeted by Jingliu's sweet smile. Looking at the sweet smile opposite me, a soft smile appeared on the corner of my mouth. The slightly gloomy emotions just now also quickly left my thoughts.
"Bing, how was it today?" After I lay on the bed, Jingliu naturally put her hands on my forehead and massaged it for me. She also understood that I always didn't want her to get involved when I was facing a task, but I could tell her the result. After all, the process was difficult, and the result could only be good or bad.
"Not bad, at least I can be sure that there are two of the four enemies that I don't have to worry about anymore." Feeling the strength of Jingliu's fingers, my frown relaxed a little. "As for whether the remaining two can be dealt with, it depends on whether Shoulang's wrist is ruthless enough."
"Huh? From your tone, you seem to be planning to swallow everyone?" Jingliu asked curiously.
"It's still unknown whether we can swallow it all. After all, this is real estate, not goods." I shrugged. "It depends on the situation at that time. If everything goes well, we can live there permanently in the future."
"Are you really going to buy all of that place?" Jing Liu asked in surprise. Jing Liu didn't know how much money was needed to build a city, but the only thing she was sure of was that as long as she was willing, it would be no problem to buy at least one piece of land as her residence. She might not believe other things, but she would never lack money.
"Who knows? Although Shoulang said that 50 billion yuan would buy a piece of land, considering the other competitors, it is possible that the price could be doubled." I said calmly. "Let's not talk about this. Tomorrow you can leave here with Ningyue and Ningshuang."
"Eh? You don't want me to go with you?"
"Ah, after we go to that island, I may have to infiltrate the inner part myself, so I can't bring you with me. You should follow Yue'er and Shuang'er back to Sanmachimo... No, you can't live there." I frowned halfway through my words. Recalling the conversation with Shoulang today, I found that my name Liufeng has been put on the killer list, and a photo has been circulated. Although it is only a side profile with a mask, the name Liufeng is too famous in the killer world.
Taking out my phone, I sent a message to Shoulang. Ask him to arrange everything first, sell the house in Sanmachimo in Mika City, and take over the villa in Shimachimo. I don't have to worry about the furniture, I'll leave it to Shoulang. At the same time, station some third-rate killers in the villa in Sanmachimo to confuse other people's sight. Shortly after the message was sent, Shoulang quickly replied to me and said that everything was fine. I was relieved. At that time, I used the name Liufeng as the house number because I was confident that this name would not appear in other people's vision. But I didn't expect that the change in the killer list would expose all the killers to the black world. This is a very convenient thing for killers to accept tasks, but at the same time, the killers ranked behind them will also find the right opportunity to kill for their own rankings.
"Sister Jingliu, tomorrow you go to the new villa in Shimachimu with Yue'er and Shuang'er. Sanmachimu is no longer habitable."
"Okay, I get it." Jingliu understood what I meant, so she didn't refute. She didn't have any attachment to the things in that room. For Jingliu, as long as she could be with me, nothing else mattered. "Then, how do we fill in the house number?
"Well... let's use Mori. After all, that's my real name, and there are many people with the last name Mori in Japan, so there shouldn't be any problem." I thought about it and said.
"Mori...Mori Kaoru, Mori Shizuru? What? That's so weird." Shizuru said dissatisfiedly.
"Hey, hey... stop worrying about this, okay?" I squinted my eyes helplessly. "And this name is not bad either, Mouri Shizuru fits your silly look very well."
"Bing... what did you say?" After hearing what I said, Jingliu's head was covered with a big "井" character. But she still kept smiling, and the jade fingers pressing on both sides of my forehead gradually increased their strength.
"Ah, I mean, Sister Jingliu, you are the most... Uwaa! Be gentle, Sister Jingliu, I was wrong! I was wrong!"
"Hundanbing, wake up!" Jingliu didn't give me a chance to explain, and clenched her jade fingers into a fist, drilling my temple fiercely. (Children, don't try to learn this move, it can only be seen in the second dimension. In reality, if you use too much force, you will get into trouble.)
————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————
Fifteen minutes later, I finally escaped Jingliu's "jade fingers" and lay on the bed, feeling slightly dizzy. In addition to the love just now, I also endured Jingliu's broad "heart". The two sets of combos made me a little breathless. So, while Jingliu was taking a shower after making enough noise, I had to recover quickly.
With my eyes closed, I reached out and touched the black wing necklace on my chest. After a brief moment of unconsciousness, a huge white space appeared in my mind.
This is the virtual space in my necklace, which can only appear in my mind in the form of images. It cannot really exist in the real world. There is no air, no time, no temperature, only dead silence. Uh... There are also Japanese yen piled up there as high as a hill. And my task tonight is to count how much money I can use here. Fortunately, this is in the consciousness, and the speed of counting money is still quite fast. Watching the piles of sealed banknotes gradually fly from the hill on the left to the open space on the right, my eyes are also counting quickly.
"One, two, three, four, eighty-six, eighty-seven..." This is a very boring process, which can easily make people upset. Fortunately, this is a consciousness space, so I can just close my eyes and rest.
"Seven hundred and eighty-four, seven hundred and eighty-five... eh?" As I was counting, I could smell the fragrance of jasmine lingering in my nostrils. It should be Jingliu who came in after taking a shower. But what's the soft touch on my cheek? I opened my eyes and saw a piece of snow-white. I was slightly startled, and just when I was about to struggle out of the snowy softness, I was hugged tightly in Jingliu's arms.
“Wuwuwu…” The resistance failed and he retreated.
"Hehe, Bing, do you miss this action?" Two minutes later, Jingliu pinched my face playfully and smiled.
"Really... Sister Jingliu, at least wear pajamas." I squinted my eyes and touched my nose, and said faintly after making sure there was no nosebleed. "Lying in here with your underwear on. If I were a 17-year-old now, would you be able to escape?"
"Who said I was going to run away?" Jingliu said angrily with a blushing face. "I just miss the way you looked like ten years ago when I could hold you in my arms at any time like a rag doll. Now that I finally have the chance again, of course I have to reminisce about you."
"...You really are enjoying it." I said helplessly, and then looked puzzled. "By the way, Sister Jingliu, do you have something you want to tell me?"
"Huh?" Jingliu was surprised.
"Since this morning, you've been teasing me more often than before. Even when we were together 24 hours a day in the organization, you never acted like this." I looked at him intently. "Do you... have something to say?"
"..." Jingliu did not answer me, but the sadness in the corner of her eyes betrayed her.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"No... nothing." Jingliu answered softly. "It's just... we're about to separate. I..."
"Eh?"
"Isn't it?" Jingliu's eyes suddenly sparkled. "I finally escaped from the organization, but you're going somewhere else right now. I thought that after escaping, I could live freely with you. But..."
"Idiot... What are you talking about." I interrupted Jingliu helplessly, "I just moved to another place to live, it's not like I won't come back." Indeed. I just escaped from the organization, but I have to leave immediately and go back to Xiaolan. This is really sad for Jingliu who just gained freedom. But there is no way, I still have a lot of things to do. After Jingliu, there are Shiho, Akemi, Ling, Taichi, and Mary. There are too many concerns waiting for me. If it weren't for the sudden incident here with Shoulang, maybe I would have met Kudo again now. "Don't worry. Although I can't live with you, it's no problem to make a phone call and chat together. Don't worry, I won't leave you alone." I grinned with my little white teeth bared.
"Bing..." Looking at the smiling face of the child in front of her, Jingliu seemed to have returned to the seven-year-old child ten years ago. The sunny smile filled her heart. The sadness just now faded away. Only expectation remained. She knew that the boy lying next to her had too much on his shoulders. She couldn't selfishly force him to stay by her side.
"So...how often can you come visit me?"
"Well... once a month, seven days each time." I held my chin and seemed to be thinking deeply.
"...Bing! You bastard!"
"Woooa! Sister Jingliu, I was wrong, I was wrong!"
. . . . . .
In the quiet night sky, the cicadas chirping seemed peaceful and comfortable. Under such a night sky, in the luxurious room, Jingliu, after a fight, held me in her arms like a doll. Her beautiful eyes were slightly closed, and a peaceful breath filled her delicate face.
"Bing. Do you really not need me to go with you this time?"
"Well, no need." I slightly adjusted my lying position, sucking the jasmine fragrance on Jingliu's body and relaxing. "I will definitely do it myself this time. If you go, I'm afraid I won't have the extra energy to take care of you. Protecting the skinny wolf is already very strenuous."
"Then...will you be in danger?"
"No." I chuckled. "I may not show up at the auction this time. I can just do everything in secret." The changes in the killer list made my initial plan go awry. While climbing up the rankings, I must ensure that my identity is not exposed. Otherwise, the significance of becoming smaller will be lost.
"Don't worry, Sister Jingliu. Since I was able to shrink successfully, it means that the world has not given up on me. Besides, I won't encounter danger so easily. You don't know my strength yet." I laughed.
"Yes, yes... You are the best, the 'shrunk' Bing~sama~"
"Hey, hey... could you please not emphasize the word 'become smaller'?" I squinted my eyes and looked at Jingliu who had a cunning face and sighed slightly.
"It seems like time has to go by faster..." I rubbed my temple helplessly.
"Eh? Hurry up?"
"Well... it has to be faster..." I said, with a sly smile on my face. I leaned close to Jingliu's ear and whispered a few words.
"Eh?! Bing! You're going to die!" After saying that, I saw Jingliu's cheeks turn red. Then, a slap landed on my head.
"Woo wow! Sister Jingliu, I was wrong! Please forgive me!" He begged for mercy again. Unfortunately, the effect was not good. He failed and retreated.
At the door at this time.
"This brother and sister have such a good relationship." Ningyue scratched her head and said. It has been two hours since Ningxue came back and told her to start working. During these two hours, Mingya's screams were heard for the third time.
"...When will such a life come to me?" Ningyue thought with some disappointment. It seemed that she hadn't heard such a pleasant laugh for a long time since she and her sister participated in the killer training camp.
"Really? What am I thinking about?" Ningyue shook her head. She concentrated her energy again. The first half of the night would pass quickly. She couldn't slack off during the mission.
The scene turns back to the room.
Jingliu, who had been playing all day, was finally tired and hugged the doll again. After a sweet good night, Jingliu fell asleep, leaving me rubbing the bump on my head.
"Ah..." I sighed softly after feeling the girl's even breathing. "Wait a little longer, at least two years, at most five years. I will definitely let you live a happy and comfortable life." Two to five years, as long as this plan goes smoothly, I believe such a day is not far away.
The smile on my lips was fleeting. I closed my eyes and continued my unfinished work.
"Huh? Where did I count to just now?" I suddenly became alert.
"... Never mind, let's start counting again... one, two, three..."
The article is off track? I've made it through 400,000, so why should I care about this volume of foreshadowing? To be honest. I think Conan's plot is really boring, and it's just the same thing over and over again. Instead of repeating those random cases, it's better to write more of my own things. I open various original works just to follow my own path. But don't worry, the main plot will be there, and I will try my best to avoid those plots that are the same as the masterpieces. Of course, there will inevitably be repetitions, after all, there is only so much material. That's all.
I'm exhausted from work. Please bear with me.
