Chapter 385: Pure Adventure?
"A master of spiritual artifact manufacturing in China came to Sakurajima for some reason, and became friends with a young man from Sakurajima, Mr. Uehara, during his temporary stay. οΌΈβ
For some reason, or just being bored, the master tried to make some Sakurajima-style artifacts and gave them to Mr. Uehara as a souvenir of friendship. β
"Mr. Uehara is not a psychic person, just an ordinary person who accidentally met a powerful psychic person from overseas, and it was a pure adventure to get those spiritual weapons. β
It's just an adventure, there is no special background, wealthy bloodline, abnormal seals and the like...... This is the simplest summary.
"And if the relationship between the two is not simple, and there are hidden secrets......" Haruji paused, "Then there is no other way to know the truth except to ask that old Mr. Zhao." β
A moment of silence.
"I think Haruji is right. Summer Night agreed, looking at Meijia.
"Uehara-san, you have two choices now, one is to accept Harusa's statement, treat those artifacts as souvenirs of friendship that your father got from his old friends, and tell your mother to let her decide what to do with these things and end this matter. β
"The second is to make a phone call and try to contact Mr. Zhao from Huaxia and talk to him...... It may be futile, but it can also lead to deeper secrets. β
Meijia was silent, then looked at the investigation report and stared at it for a moment.
"I ...... I want to make a call. She whispered.
"I'm determined to face the truth, whatever it may be...... Adventures, or anything else. β
"If you don't call and end this matter, I don't think it's the end, it's like an escape. β
"Even if it was just an adventure, as Harusa said, I would like to say thank you to Mr. Zhao for being my father's friend and for giving him such a precious gift. β
A smile slowly spread across the face of the girl with two ponytails.
β¦β¦
Huaxia, Tiandu.
An old man in a wheelchair is in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of a mansion looking at the night scene outside.
When people get old, they always remember.
What you have experienced in your life, what you have done, what you are happy about, what you are sad about, what you regret, what you regret......
On this night, the old man's mind was a time spent on Sakurajima.
It's a recuperation, but also an escape.
But whether it's recuperation or retreat, there is a better place than there. At the end of the day, the real reason for choosing to go there is......
Thinking of the young man's face, the old man's heart welled up with complicated feelings.
No matter how many times he thought about what happened back then, he came to the conclusion that he had done nothing wrong.
However, even if you do the right thing, you never regret it, but in the end...... He abandoned the child with his own hands.
And the kid didn't know anything about it.
When he was abandoned, he was just a baby.
When I saw him again, he had grown into a teenager...... A somewhat clumsy, but kind, cheerful teenager.
In the face of the eccentric exotic old man, although the boy was a little confused, he did not stay away, but sincerely cared.
The acquaintance and correspondence between the two, in the eyes of the young man, was an accidental year-old friend with a strange lonely old man. However, in the eyes of the elderly, it is not just that.
More than once he wanted to tell the truth to the teenager, but in the end he didn't say anything.
It was a very peaceful time...... So calm that there is nothing to miss. But for some reason, that child's voice and smile are clearer than many memories to this day.
"Sir, there is another call from Sakurajima, and the caller claims to be named Mika Uehara, the daughter of Tetsuya Uehara. The maid's voice came from behind him.
Mika Uehara ......
The old man blinked, something coming to mind.
"Uncle Zhao, my child was born! is a lovely girl, my wife and I named her Meijia, her full name is Meika Uehara. β
"One day, I will take her and my wife on a trip to China, and I want to visit you when the time comes...... If you don't mind our family being disturbed. β
"Please take good care of your health, Uncle Zhao, I look forward to meeting you again. β
β¦β¦ The stupid boy who said these words, but he didn't take care of himself, leaving his wife and daughter to go first, it's really ......
The old man sighed.
He pressed the button on the armrest of the wheelchair and turned the wheelchair to face the maid.
"Give me the phone. β
β¦β¦
For the first time in my life, I made a transatlantic call.
When she answered the phone and greeted her in Chinese, Meijia was strongly aware that she was trying to contact a stranger in a foreign country.
After she decided to make the call, President Wan Hua said that she could speak some Chinese and could help. And at this time, it is also appropriate to call the Huaxia people.
Meijia didn't actually want to call right away, but she just said something like that, and it was hard to back down, so she could only muster up her courage immediately.
According to the number recorded in the investigation report, the call was made.
After connecting, as written in the report, a young woman answered.
Xia Ye explained the situation to the woman in Huaxia and asked to talk to Zhao Guanlou.
After hearing this, the woman on the other side responded in Huaxia.
"She told us to wait a minute. Summer Night explained.
And then a moment passed.
"I'm Zhao Guanlou. An old voice rang out, speaking in Sakurajima.
No translation is required.
The summer night gestured to Meijia with her eyes.
"Late ...... Good evening, Mr. Zhao, I'm Mika Uehara. Meijia hurriedly said to the phone, "Sorry to disturb you suddenly." β
"Tetsuya's daughter...... What's the matter with me?"
"I ...... I would like to ask Mr. Zhao, my father left some collections...... Some psionic appliances, were they given by Mr. Zhao?"
There was a moment of silence on the other side.
"How did you know it was a spirit artifact?" the old man's voice asked rhetorically.
"Uh...... I am...... I used a pair of double sixes by accident...... I was playing with my friends and saw the illusion ......"
"Are you a psyker?"
"I ...... Yes, I am a spirit control. Meijia responded.
There was silence again.
"It's not convenient to talk on the phone...... Do you have a computer?"
Summer Night motioned to Meijia that she could borrow her computer here, and Meijia immediately responded with "Yes".
"Give me your web email address. The old man demanded.
Meijia said her email address.
"Later, a software will be sent to this mailbox, you download this software to your computer, install it and run it. β
"Okay......" Meijia should be.
This is the end of the call.
Summer Night got up and walked away, brought a laptop, and gave it to Meijia to use.
Meijia logged in to her mailbox.
After waiting for a while, a new email came, with a small piece of software attached.
Meijia downloaded the software, installed it, and ran it according to what the old man said.
