34. Seventy-three – Heterochromia
Immersed in his own thoughts, Yuto didn't even notice what Louis was shouting.
But his body reacted much faster than his sluggish brain, and by the time Yuto came back to his senses, he and Louis had been staring at each other for three seconds.
“…… Louis? ”
Yuto lets go of his hand, and finally frees Louie's neck, which he almost broke off.
Louis got up in one fell swoop, pinching his sore neck, and the complicated gaze in his eyes vanished because of the disguise of this action.
"Is it really Youdou...... So last week in the Lost Forest, that guy named Liudaoqing was also you? ”
"......" Because of Dino's tireless admonitions, as well as the dangers encountered in the past few days, Youdou's attitude towards his own abilities is no longer the same as at the beginning, and he can sue anyone without reservation. But looking at Louis without any malice, Yuto thought of everything on the cruise ship, and remembered the back of the speechless but hard-working hunting under the shadow of the tree in the Mountain of Death, he hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.
Louis was stunned, as if he didn't expect Yuto to admit it.
In fact, according to the super-intuitive cheat he obtained before, as well as the brain hole that he has always dared to think, he has already guessed the secret of Youdou, and he is seven or eight points sure. As for whether it is confirmed by Yuto himself, it doesn't matter to him.
The reason why he had just asked that was just to deflect the shock of a certain scene three minutes earlier.
Louis had mixed feelings about the consciousness of Penglie I. Shi, the tenant who temporarily lodged in his body.
Even though he had gained a lot of convenience because of the other party's deposit, Louis was very repulsive towards him at first.
Although there is no obvious appearance, it is impossible to be unaware of it with the acumen of "Penglie I."
Therefore, after regaining his sanity, "Penglie I." was almost no longer attached to him. But he still silently helped him solve many problems, and even apologized to him before leaving.
Thinking about his gains and losses, Louis was chagrined to find that he seemed to be ...... Are you still selling if you get cheap?
No matter how he calculated, he didn't actually lose anything, the only awkward thing was that he knew that there was an extra consciousness in his body...... But this awkwardness is not worth mentioning at all compared to the benefits he gets.
On the other hand, what he got during this time - he had a super instinct to avoid the trap of the clan's deceit, and escaped assassination with the help of "Penglie I....... One by one, it made him sit still like an ant gnawing on it.
Louis once thought that as long as he found the Penglie Ring and returned the artifact to its original owner, the consciousness of the I. world would not disappear...... But it wasn't until one night of open and honest conversation with "Penglie I." that he realized how outrageous his ideas were.
The Penglie Ring of this world has a consciousness of the I. world. According to the law of the world - "in the same parallel world, two identical beings cannot coexist", if it weren't for the fact that the Penglie ring of this world was split in two and is still sealed, so that the first generations in the ring have not yet awakened, this "Penglie I. world" from the parallel world ten years later would have disappeared. Just like the "Ghost" of the future world, the Bai Lan Jesso from another parallel world, because he forcibly broke the time and space barrier and competed with Bai Lan in this world for the right to exist, all consciousness was erased by the laws of this world, leaving only a ghostly empty shell.
Louis wanted to use the faint connection in his mind to find him before the consciousness of the I. world disappeared completely.
At the very least, express your gratitude and apologies before the other person disappears.
It's just that Louis never expected that three minutes ago, when he arrived according to his breath, he would see such a scene-
Under the colorful luan tree, orange dots of bright light are entangled with golden flowers and leaves, and between the light and shadow, the blonde young man who is about to disappear half-leans down/leans down, and the breath of another person in his arms overlaps......
At that moment, Louis felt that his three views were not good.
Even if he saw the golden red breath exhaling from the mouth of "Penglie I.", it seemed that he was transmitting energy for the other party, not just kissing...... Louis also had a feeling that the sky was falling apart.
Think of him on a cruise ship again...... Seeing a scene in a different dimension, Louis felt as if he had stumbled into something terrible.
Unlike what Dino saw on the cruise, the "memories" that Louis saw in that space...... Warm and beautiful, even to the point that Cheng dù made him feel very wrong.
Combined with the scene in front of him, and recalling the various violations he saw at the time, Louis couldn't help but be messy in the wind.
In those fragmentary memories, every time I. Shi looked at his best friend, the light in his eyes was hot and long. Louis had thought it was nothing more than an illusion caused by the fire of death, but he didn't expect it......
His mind was full of barrages of "how is this possible" and "I didn't hear of Penglie I. Shishiki X", Louis couldn't help but move his gaze down and landed on Yuto's chest.
“…… What are you looking at? ”
"Look at your chest," Louis touched his chin, "Little Youdou, can you become a woman?" Or is your essence just ......?"
Before he could finish speaking, Louis was kicked off the bench with a force.
With a heel on his back, Louis grinned and covered his lower back, looking at the boy who kicked him down in surprise: "Why did you kick me?" ”
Youdou learned Louie's previous action and put his index finger against his chin, his eyes showing deep thought: "I don't know...... I always feel that what you just said is very annoying. ”
Louis got up from the ground, and remembered that he had just said what he had just said about his unkind speculation.
At this time, he couldn't help but be glad that the consciousness of the I. world had disappeared, and the Youdou in front of him was much more generous than Yuri a hundred years ago, otherwise it might not have been as simple as taking a kick just now......
Thinking of the prestige of the person in the annals of history, as well as the "frank" methods he saw in the other dimensional space and Yuri's rectification, Louis had palpitations.
Out of unknown pressure, Louis suppressed all kinds of messy speculations and immediately dialed the phone and asked Dino to come and pick him up.
When Dino arrived, the expression on his face was very tangled.
He was worried about Yudou's safety, but after receiving a call from Louie, he turned into anxiety about the secret leak.
It's not that I don't believe in Louie's character...... A secret is a secret precisely because the fewer people who know it, the safer it is. What's more, Youdou's ability is too special, since Louis can see through some details of Youdou's ability, does it mean ...... Others, too?
It's almost impossible to think about. Even if he has warned Youdou to use his skills carefully, Yudou's ability itself cannot be controlled, and he may "become" another person at any time due to the change of dice.
In the past few days, there have been a series of "lost clothes", and anyone can find out that something is wrong.
Coupled with today's accident - Tsunayoshi and "Blue Wave" were attacked by other families, Penglie's side will definitely carry out an investigation, and Yuto's secret will not be able to hide at all......
Dino stroked his eyebrows and felt a swelling pain in his temples.
"It's not as bad as you think." Knowing Dino's thoughts, Louis said thoughtfully, "I can guess Yuto's ability...... Half of it is due to the ultra-intuitive feeling and those 'memories' seen on the cruise. If it weren't for Yuri's ability to use the Fire of Death like Penglie I. Shi, I would probably think that Yuri could just transform into someone else's form, and I wouldn't have thought that he could even copy the other person's abilities......"
Louis accentuated his tone, and the tail note is outlined meaningfully,
"And if it's just 'becoming like someone else'...... I believe that most illusionists can do this. ”
Dino suddenly said: "You mean ......"
"As long as you don't use those people's abilities...... For example, the six reincarnations of the six skeletons, Penglie's death fire and other iconic special powers, even if you fight will ...... Ahem, strip them of their clothes, and others will only think that this 'illusionist' has strange abilities, and they will not be afraid of him. Coughing pretendedly, Louis continued, "As for the weapons...... Penglie's side will be sent by your father, with the face of you, the leader of the alliance family, they should not be embarrassed by a 'child' who can't control their power well. Louis bit down on the word "child" and reminded Dino to excuse Youdou's weird and domineering skills from the perspective of age, "Forget about the others, anyway, you also said that when Youdou unlocks the change, those weapons and clothes will automatically fly back...... Let them think it's a paranormal event. ”
This is also a way to do it, Penglie will definitely not be able to hide it, rather than hide it, it is better to tell them calmly - of course, Yuto can use the power of the person he has changed...... This definitely needs to be kept secret. If it is simply a crappy illusionist who can change the form of others and strip off clothes, although it will cause a little trouble to some people in Penglie, for the sake of Dino's face, Penglie will not pursue it. As for anyone other than Pengle...... Louis said it was foolish not to admit himself, and the best thing to do was to ignore it.
The so-called authorities are obsessed, Dino fell into the bull's horns because he thought too much, and now after Louie's analysis, he also realized the crux of the problem.
Indeed, no matter how bizarre Yuto's abilities are, there is only one thing that will make him coveted and feared - after transforming into someone, Yuto can use all of that person's skills. This is what all Mafia bosses, all supernatural powerhouses cannot tolerate. Compared to this, what becomes someone's face, what strips clothes...... These are the little things that don't matter.
As for the first time you are transformed, you will feel like all your strength has been drained...... According to Dino's personal experience, this sense of strangeness is not too strong, and it only lasts for a short time, and this short-term sense of powerlessness is nothing compared to the strict zhòng nature of the ability being stolen.
Thinking about it this way, Dino feels that the future is not so bleak.
"Yamamoto and Tsunade are now being treated...... I would like to thank them this time. ”
If it weren't for Yamamoto and Tsuna, Yuto would probably have been taken away by Mirfair's people by now...... Although Youdou is also a pot to help Lan Bo.
Thinking of Lan Bo, Dino took a closer look at Youdou, who was dressed as a cow and had Lan Bo's face: "Little Youdou, is Lan Bo's ten-year bazooka here for you?" ”
“…… Ten years of bazooka? ”
Dino took a chestnut branch and drew the shape of a bucket on the sand.
“…… It's such a bazooka, and the paint on the outside is blue. ”
"I'll take the liberty of making it impossible to imagine what that bazooka would look like in the face of your strange rectangle." Louie endured it, but he still couldn't restrain his complaint**.
However, to his horror, Yuto actually observed the pattern on the ground very carefully, as if he could also recognize the original form: "This thing, I threw it in the grass next to the toilet." ”
"Toilet ......"
This answer left Dino a little speechless.
If the people of Mirfair knew that what they wanted to get at the cost of offending Pengley, in fact, it was so big under their noses, covered by a bush of weeds, I wonder how they would feel.
Dino contacts Romario on his cell phone and asks him to go to the place Yuto said to find the Ten Years Bazooka. After getting the news of the finding, Dino picked up Youdou, who was huddled into a small group, and took him to a nearby children's clothing store.
Asking him to see Yudou wearing that Blue Wave's cow suit, Dino felt that sooner or later he would have internal injuries.
In the toothless smile of the shopping guide, Dino purchased more than a dozen sets of children's clothes in one go, and delivered them from the store to the residence prepared for them in Romerio.
Louie, like Dino, ignored all kinds of autumn waves from all directions, and his fingers flicked a row of clothes on the crossbar, and his unwilling to be lonely began to stir again.
He picked out a little brown coat—two bear's ears strung on the hat and a short tail on the back of the coat—and pointed it to Dino: "What do you think of it?" ”
Dino's face became a little delicate, and he quietly glanced at Youdou, who was trying on clothes in front of the mirror with the shopping guide, and quickly stuffed the bear dress into the shopping basket.
"Where's this one?" Louie grabbed another hooded coat with rabbit ears.
The rabbit ear jacket is stuffed into the shopping cart.
"Where's this?"
Stuff it in.
"This one?"
Stuff it in.
……
"This."
Plug –
Dino paused, spreading his hands to check what he had just taken.
The moment he saw the thing, the corner of Dino's eyes twitched.
"You're moving too fast." Louis said he was innocent, "I just wanted to show you this pacifier." ”
"What do you do with a pacifier?" Dino stared at Louis strangely, "...... I can't think about it...... Really use this kind of thing for Xiao Youdou, right? ”
In the end, Dino's voice was a little floating, and his eyes unconsciously moved to a pile of strange children's clothes on the shopping basket, and he felt a little empty.
"You have to think so," Louis said suddenly, "even if you explain the situation to Pengle, they will find someone to contact him...... If you ask any tricky questions, how do you ask Youdou to answer them? ”
"As long as they induce Youdou to speak, they can find flaws in it, and even piece together Youdou's true ability based on trivial clues." Louis turned the plastic pacifier in his hand, and his eyes flashed, "Do you think that with your fighting character, you can perfectly deceive those intelligence experts in Penglie?" ”
Combined with Louie's previous prompt, Dino read his unfinished meaning: "If Youdou is a child who doesn't know anything, then just a 'I don't know' can deal with all the problems?" ”
"There are no ifs." Louis hooked his lips and reminded, "He 'was' meant to be." ”
"But ......" Dino frowned, "Youdou is not a real child after all......" At the beginning, he was still a little ignorant of the world, but after so many days of getting along, today's Youdou no longer has the ignorance he had at the beginning.
"Yes or no, the key lies in what you say as a patron." Louis lazily copied the back of his head, changed his tone, and continued to tease as a daily routine, "After all, this is your 'son', isn't it?" ”
"Boss's Son ??!!"
With one exclamation after another, a group of men in suits and sunglasses poured into the clothing store one after another.
"What's the situation, when did the boss have a son?"
"BOSS GAVE BIRTH TO A SON, REALLY? Does it look the same as the boss? ”
Dino looked at the crowd of subordinates who were still talking excitedly about his offspring, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"No......"
The words of explanation were still blocked in his throat, and his best lieutenant and senior who took care of him very well, Romario, had somehow reached for a square scarf and tapped the water in the corner of his eye.
"Boss, you have finally started a family, and the old leader of the sky will definitely be proud of you......"
"Poof......" Louis almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard Romario associate having a son with pride.
He, the culprit, was really unconscious, and he got Dino a stab in the eye without any suspense.
One of Dino's subordinates kindly patted Louis on the shoulder.
"Hey man, did you mention our boss's son just now?"
Louis dodged Dino's eye knife and pointed unkindly at the changing mirror: "Well, it's him." ”
More than a dozen men in suits and leather shoes poured over.
Youdou, who was surrounded by a shopping guide, didn't understand why it took so long to buy a dress. The two young girls took turns to take the clothes in front of him, and when he was about to fall asleep, there was a buzzing sound in his ears, like a reservoir had been opened, and the fierce water rushed towards him.
"This is the boss's child?"
"This marshmallow has a nice haircut."
"What a marshmallow, this is obviously an exploding head."
"No culture, this is obviously a black sheep's head."
"I can't imagine that the boss with the aquatic weed hairstyle can give birth to a young master with such a cool hairstyle."
"Shut up, you sycophants—young master, I'll help you get a more handsome haircut, right?"
……
Youdou, who was tightly surrounded, frowned.
“…… Who are you? ”
"We are your loyal minions, young master, we will fight whoever you tell us to fight—ouch." The stud man who half-squatted in front of Youdou was shortened, hugged the beaten head and turned back angrily, and when he saw the person who attacked him, his high arrogance shortened for a moment, "It's the boss......" touched the light bulb on the door of his head, and the stud man felt very aggrieved, "Why did the boss beat me?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense." Dino warns the stud man. Although I know that my subordinates are joking, with my fighting temperament, it is hard to guarantee that I will not take it seriously.
Dino didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, the subordinates around him fired a condemning look at the stud man, "The boss is right, don't take the bad young master", and some people even sighed "The boss seems to pay attention to the young master's preschool education".
The corners of Dino's eyes twitched, and he was so tired that he didn't want to explain.
"Okay, okay, let's go out quickly, don't affect the business of this store."
Digging out Youdou from the vast crowd mountain, Dino carried him to the cash register.
"Checkout."
"A total of 666...... You are welcome to visit us. ”
A familiar voice sounded overhead, and Dino's □□ hand shook, and the small magnetic card almost fell to the ground.
Looking up a little numbly, I saw a baby in a mini suit standing inside the counter, with a mustache on his mouth and big dark and bright eyes.
"Hello Ciaos."
Dino's tongue stiffened: "Re...... born。 ”
This strange little baby at the counter is the tutor who taught him to become a strong man, the number one killer Reborn.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that you even have a son." Reborn's voice is distinctive, with few ups and downs, but it is like a mechanical voice one by one, and the words spoken in a calm tone often make people break out in a cold sweat.
At this moment, a few drops of cold sweat broke out on Dino's back.
"What's the matter...... This is a little guy in the clan, and this time I just happened to bring him out. Dino laughed dryly, swept his eyes to the candy on the counter to attract children, immediately took a rainbow-colored lollipop, and pretended to be calm and handed it to Youdou.
Although I don't know why Dino suddenly stuffed a piece of candy, Youdou has been in a stage of energy shortage recently, and he doesn't refuse to accept food, so he bites the corner of the candy cube without much thought.
But almost at the same time, he smelled a sweeter, more enticing smell.
Looking in the direction of the aroma, Yuto saw a golden pacifier and noticed the gaze of Reborn, the owner of the pacifier.
From that dark eye, Yuto caught a hint of inquiry.
He calculated the drop point of Reborn's gaze, and lowered his eyes to look at the lollipop that he had bitten into his mouth.
Yuto seemed to understand something in a trance, and took out the candy cube that had been bitten by a horn, and handed it to Reborn.
Reborn:……
As if he didn't notice the trembling dark eyes, Yuto expressed his will simply and bluntly: "Swap." ”
He stared straight at the golden pacifier on Reborn's chest.
Reborn turned his head and activated 'Anyone you don't want to see will be transparent'**: "Dino, you 'son' is quite interesting. ”
Dino continued to smile dryly, even if he thought through his toenails, knowing that Reborn's words were not a compliment.
"yes, I think so too." Louis, who had watched the show for a long time, finally came to the rescue with a conscience. He pressed one hand on the edge of the counter and removed a pacifier of the same color from the small shelf at the front desk, "Do children like this kind of thing?" ”
He placed the pacifier in Yuto's hand, but Yuto was still staring at the golden pacifier hanging from Reborn's chest.
"It seems that this nephew of mine doesn't like this pacifier and is only interested in yours, Rainbow Son."
"Uhh Reborn didn't bother with Louie. Louis did know him, but he didn't know how this descendant of the Mellon family, who was a sworn enemy with Gabriogne, got mixed up with Dino.
Regarding Yuto's request for an "exchange", Reborn didn't pay much attention to it. The stupid face that looked exactly like that of a nasty imp, and the eyes that looked even more godless, made him less interested in this guy who could transform into someone else and steal other people's clothes.
Gathering intelligence is the business of the Ministry of Intelligence, and even if Reborn sees a clue, he is too lazy to dig deeper.
"This is an invitation from Iemitsu." Reborn pulled out a piece of paper from his belt, "Nana's mother will organize a barbecue party tomorrow night, and Iemitsu hopes you can come and cheer." ”
As he spoke, Reborn glanced at Yuto nonchalantly.
"Of course, it's best to bring family members with you."
"I see." Dino took a deep breath and took the piece of paper...... There is no doubt that it is rudimentary.
It is said to be an invitation, but it is actually a folded white A4 piece of paper, on which the invitation text is written crookedly with colored paint.
Next to the text, there are also several treacherous patterns.
"It's more abstract than what you painted." Louie, who came over to peek, whistled. The "you" in his mouth has no second person except Dino.
Dino ignored Louie's sarcasm, and finally made out the gist in the messy handwriting.
"Tomorrow night at seven o'clock...... If I'm not mistaken, it seems to be Atsuna's handwriting. ”
"Of course. The father has something, and the son obeys it, and it can also arouse the shame of the stupid gang for a bad hand, and he can kill multiple birds with one stone. Reborn said matter-of-factly, "You should also supervise your junior brother. Tomorrow remember to come an hour late, and tell him that the words are so ugly that you can't see what is written on it. ”
Dino, who was silent, was tapped on the shoulder by Reborn, who jumped up.
"Laugh at your junior brother as much as you want, don't be pressured."
Dino once again bowed to the bitter tears of empathy for his junior brother Sawada Tsunayoshi, and N+1 congratulated himself that he had already left the school, and there was a junior brother who urgently needed to be adjusted/coached in the way, and he barely escaped the clutches of Reborn.
Able to torture people with the simplest moves, and use shame to sharpen the will...... The teacher who is so shameless that he doesn't even bother to think about the reason.,Reborn is the only one in the whole world.。
Finally sending away the big Buddha of Reborn, Dino forced himself to ignore Reborn's meaningful eyes before leaving, and when he was about to go home, another acquaintance appeared, just intercepting their way.
"Vault?"
Wearing blue sunglasses and biting a wooden stick in his mouth, Hayato stood in front of them in a very strange costume.
In his left hand, he held a stack of sticky notes with strange symbols drawn on them.
Looking at such a prison temple, Dino suddenly thought of the characters on the uniform last time, densely packed, like a spell used to cast spells.
For a moment, Dino suddenly remembered the curse that Louis had said, and couldn't help but have the absurd conjecture that "the Prison Temple can't really study any witchcraft".
Hell Temple, who was writing a letter to an alien friend with his self-created G character code, dropped the note in his hand and walked up to Dino in a few steps.
"Vault, you know where 'U1' is, right?"
“…… Yes? ”
In response to Dino's bewildered expression, Hell Temple pulled out a light-colored uniform from the plastic bag held in his armpit, and Dino looked closely and recognized that it was the one that was covered in ink and sent by him for dry cleaning.
Since Youto has become the appearance of Lan Bo, it is not surprising that the clothes that originally belonged to the Prison Temple will naturally fly back to the Prison Temple. But Dino couldn't figure out what it meant for Helltemple to come to find "U1" with clothes? What is U1? Even if the prison temple knew that it had something to do with them, it shouldn't have been this reaction.
“…… I followed the dry cleaning brand above and found the living hall where the laundry was washed. According to the records, it was found that you sent the garment for dry cleaning. ”
This passage from the Prison Temple was expected by Dino. Although Dino was registered under a pseudonym at the time, he had also used that name when he was sent to the prison temple to Pengle's headquarters a few months ago, and with the excellent memory of the prison temple, he could be contacted as soon as possible.
However, the next words of the prison temple were definitely not expected by Dino, and even exceeded his imagination.
The Prison Temple approached Dino and asked in a low voice:
“U1…… Wouldn't it have returned to U1 star? ”
Dino:...... What the heck??!
