ChapterThe Magician at the End of the 93rd Century (IX)
Who could it be? The question lingered in my mind for a second, and then the sound of footsteps approached my direction.
How could it be that was discovered?!?
I'm sure I didn't leave any traces, but the footsteps of the visitor did come straight in the direction where I was, carefully hiding under the bed, watching the footsteps of the person gradually approaching, I frowned slightly, and subconsciously felt out the dagger pinned to the calf with one hand, but I was sneering in my heart:
Hmph, but speaking of which, these high heels are really familiar......
Pu Si Qinglan, this woman really has a problem!
Let's not think about whether Pu Si Qinglan really found me, anyway, I am still a child's body at the moment, and being passive will only make myself more dangerous, so if it is really discovered, then, it seems to be a better choice to take the initiative and surprise me......
With a dagger in my hand and a slightly dull gaze, I lay quietly under the bed, waiting for what I thought was the most opportune moment......
But this time, the fact was that I was too worried, and Pu Si Qinglan didn't find out about my existence. The pace of progress stopped abruptly in front of the bed, and just as I was holding my breath and preparing to start, there was a rummaging noise.
Oh, what, is it a coincidence, but just happened to go this way?
I didn't dare to relax, while carefully guarding against any unexpected situations that might arise, while silently guessing in my heart that Pu Si Qinglan's purpose was for the ring? It's a pity, that ring is not in this room, if Pu Si Qinglan's purpose is that ring, then this trip will be in vain.
But was she really just trying to find the ring, and I frowned at the sound I had heard of the loading sound I had heard earlier, and I didn't jump to conclusions.
Soon, Pu Siqinglan seemed to have noticed that there was nothing she wanted on the surface, and then, a small delicate hand appeared in front of my eyes, grabbing the sheet that hung down from the bed to cover me......
Oh, it's time to come, it's still coming......
I silently clenched the dagger, and instead of nervousness, I smiled strangely, and it seems that I have been playing with some minions lately...... Really, are you looking forward to it? Well, it seems that I am looking forward to it, and I want to see how much combat power my young body still has......
"Rub ......"
However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and the boiling heart was extinguished by a slight movement.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door?Who is it?Is Hanchuan Dragon back?
Just as I was guessing, Pu Si Qinglan obviously noticed the movement outside. Giving up the will to search under the bed, unlike me, Pu Si Qinglan did not hide the intention, but ran quickly to the door......
"Kala......" was just an ordinary door sound, but what Hankawa Long probably would never have imagined was that behind the door, a deadly device was quietly waiting for him.
"You...... Hmmm......"
Hanchuan Dragon's stunned voice was quickly stopped, turning into a faint whimper.
"Shh......h Don't speak......" Pu Siqinglan whispered, "I'm just looking for something, can you tell me where it is?"
"Hmm......"
"I don't need you to speak, just tell me with your eyes......" Pu Si Qinglan said quickly and flirtatiously, and then said her true purpose: "Sa, photographer, I'm very interested in your camera......"
“……”
"Oh, is it there?" Pu Siqinglan's voice was full of pleasure, "It's so good, so ......"
A few footsteps sounded, and Pu Si Qinglan took a few steps back, as if she wanted to let him go, but just when Hanchuan Long An came down, Pu Si Qinglan's gun was aimed at him again: "Where is it......
………………
"Dangdangdang......"
Because there was no monitoring on the ship, it saved me a lot of things, and after dealing with the remaining traces of me in Hanchuan Long's room, I returned to Xiaolan's room, stood still, and knocked on the door lightly as if nothing happened: "Now, Sister Xiaolan, it's me, Mochizuki." ”
"Click......" Soon, the door was opened from the inside, and it was Conan who opened the door, and there was a half-moon eye and a complaint from a certain glasses: "Mochizuki, you are so slow, Sister Xiaolan and I are wondering if to go out to find you." ”
"Well, I don't know where I dropped it, so I just lost a little time. I shrugged my shoulders as I walked into the room.
"Mo~ really, I should have gone with you to find it just now, isn't it faster to find it if there are more people?" While speaking, Xiaolan also walked out of the back room, and while talking, she looked at me with concern: "How is it?"
"Yes, I found it. With a slight curvature on my face, I smiled lightly at Xiaolan, and in order to increase credibility, I shook a small bracelet casually: "Because it is a very important thing, I was in a hurry before." ”
"Oh, something important, that's great......" Xiaolan smiled reassuringly, as if empathizing with her, let out a long sigh of relief.
"Yes, yes. I answered, then stared at the bracelet for a moment.
It's a lie, but it's true that this bracelet is something very important. This bracelet was given to me by Belmode, when I had just woken up from the organization.
If it is said that because of the deception of the organization, I am deeply suspicious of everything I see and hear in the organization, including whether Belmode is an enemy or a friend to me, but I believe what Belmode has said.
Since I became smaller, I have thought about a lot of things in my spare time, which are memories of the past, because if you want to take revenge on the organization, then only by knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can you do it without being too passive. And all I can hope for is those memories of the past, little by little, hoping to find out a little truth from those huge and cumbersome memories.
Nothing else, I didn't think anything about it before, but after thinking about it like this, I was surprised to find something. That is, Belmode, the so-called 'Witch with a Thousand Faces', said in front of me that there was basically not a single lie. I say 'basically' because there are some things that I am not sure about yet, and those that have been determined, although some of them are ambiguous and I can only understand them when I know the truth of the matter, but, even so, it is true that Belmode has not told me a single lie.
Oh, the so-called Witch with a Thousand Faces has never deceived anyone? It's ridiculous to think about. But in any case, if everything Belmode said to me was true, then this bracelet was indeed a key point in my quest for my true identity.
Anyway, this bracelet is the only thread that connects my past memories.
"Hey, Mochizuki ......"
"What's wrong?" the memory was interrupted, and I turned my head strangely, and Conan was staring at him with complicated eyes.
Confused, shocked, incredulous, I don't know if it's my delusion, Conan's eyes seemed to flash with a hint of joy......
"Your bracelet is ......"
"Mr. Maori! is Mr. Maori here?" Conan's words were interrupted by the panicked voices outside the door, accompanied by the sound of talking, and the sound of heavy knocking on the door, which fully showed the anxiety of the visitor.
"Well, what's going on?" because the door was still open, Xiaolan walked out of the room strangely, "Ah, it's Mr. Nishino......"
"Miss Xiaolan, this ......"
"Eh, really, what's the noise? so flustered...... I'm about to get some sleep......" Nishino didn't have time to explain when he was interrupted by Maori Kogoro, who opened the door in a daze and looked at the person outside the door with an unhappy face.
And I stood quietly at the door, prepared for what Nishino was about to say......
"It's not good! Mr. Hankawa ...... Mr. Hankawa, he's dead in the room!"
