Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Forever Contractor
Shihua was also inexplicable about Liu Xia's sudden move, although she was pulled away without warning. Pen "Fun" pavilion www.biquge.info but it didn't take long to steady his pace. And Liu Xia grabbed Shihua and bypassed the corner, didn't run far, and found a random building and got in.
"What the hell is going on?" She looked at Liu Xia who was staring out slightly with a light face.
His abnormal behavior combined with the scene he had seen before, it is estimated that even fools will know that there must be something wrong with it.
Liu Xia naturally knows it, but there are still many strange things in it. He wouldn't tell anyone until he had come to a conclusion.
Liu Xia thought carefully, instinctively wanted to hold his glasses, but then he found that his hand seemed to be holding Shihua and didn't put it, and to his surprise, as a girl, Shihua didn't react, and his face was flat as if he hadn't noticed.
'I guess I didn't notice it, right?' Thinking so, he immediately let go of his hand. However, even so, there was still a soft touch on his fingers.
"Nothing." He helped his glasses as if he was a little hidden, and then looked directly at Shihua's red pale eyes with an expressionless face: "Let's go first, and I'll talk about it when I have a chance later." β
"Is that so?" Shihua nodded, she is not someone who likes to get to the bottom of things. And the other party didn't want to say more, so she naturally wouldn't ask more, listening to Liu Xia's words, she turned around and was about to leave here.
Seeing this, Liu Xia hurriedly stepped forward and blocked her: "Go through another door." β
The distance between the two was only about a centimeter, and the faint sweet orange smell on her body came to her face. Shihua raised her head, her red eyes looked at Liu Xia's expressionless face like autumn water.
"Yes."
β¦β¦
Obviously, their purpose is me. And the one who was suddenly shot was nothing more than a substitute for the dead. β
The two of them made a long detour from the back door of the building and re-embarked on the road home, they remained silent all the way, but Liu Xia's brain began to be active in response to what had just happened.
'Not to mention who is going to kill me, the sudden appearance of the substitute ghost obviously can't be a coincidence. If there are two people who look the same in a city, this uncertain factor may be classified as accidental, but it is obviously not normal for people to step on the same street at the same time if they are exactly the same in clothing, hairstyle, and body shape. β
Liu Xia has never been a person who believes in coincidences, and any coincidence can trace this clue to the source. But this sudden incident is obviously not enough. And what puzzled him the most was not who was going to commit murder to him, but the deceased who suddenly appeared.
If anyone in this world wants to kill me, there are only a few people left who have offended me to death after coming to Japan. If those people really wanted to make up their minds to get rid of me, they would never choose this method. Therefore, the murderer can only be the people who came here. β
He secretly filtered through his mind all the people who had had a holiday since he came to Japan, and soon found a few people who were the most suspicious.
The closest to now, and the most suspicious, is obviously the person involved in the banking incident that happened a few days ago. And the group of people who died inside, if any of their accomplices knew the truth about their deaths, then ......'
Liu Xia was thinking about important key points in her mind, and she didn't notice the situation around her for a while.
Suddenly, he felt a powerful pull coming from behind him. He was caught off guard and suddenly pulled backwards by that pulling force.
At the same moment, the roar of an engine came from far and near, and then quickly disappeared. A powerful cold wind hit Liu Xia's body, and he couldn't help but let out a trace of cold sweat.
I'm afraid that if it weren't for the pulling force just now, with the speed of that car, it is estimated that he would have to go to see Marxist-Leninist immediately.
Shihua, who had just saved his life, put down the hand that was tugging at his sleeve. She frowned without a trace, and her red pale eyes revealed three points of blame.
"What are you thinking?"
"I'm sorry." Liu Xia, who was suddenly a little annoyed in his heart, exhaled a little tiredly, and his face became more and more pale: "I was a little distracted just now." β
Liu Xia never thought that she would be injured or killed in such a situation. Although he was not a good soldier in the army before, he might still be at the bottom when it comes to fighting. But he has always been strict with himself when it comes to certain disciplinary matters. For an officer, he may not have excellent grappling skills, but he must have excellent marksmanship and awareness of his own danger, and the latter is superior to the former.
'What's wrong with me?' With such a question in his heart, Liu Xia couldn't help but wonder about his recent state.
Shihua looked at Liu Xia's face, frowned and pondered for a moment, and said for some reason: "If there is something, you can tell others." β
"Ahh I will. Liu Xia didn't take Shihua's words to heart, he was a little irritable in his heart, and he replied casually: "Let's go first." β
β¦β¦
Until they separated, the two didn't say a word.
When I returned to my home, the sun had not yet set. A few rays of sunlight shone through the glass on the window, gilding the small room.
Liu Xia put down her handbag, walked directly to the window and closed the curtains, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.
Why on earth did they kill me? Is it for revenge, or for some other reason? β
He sat down on the bed and took off his glasses. The brown pupils glowed coldly. The thoughts in my head began to come alive again.
He didn't think these people had anything to do with those people, so the biggest suspicion was undoubtedly the people who died in the bank. But the first question that bothered Liu Xia was what the purpose of this group of people was to kill themselves.
Being able to kill people with a silenced sniper rifle on the street without any qualms about it, and not moving from the judiciary after causing a single death, is clearly not an ordinary form of revenge.
But in any case, too few clues are known at the moment. And the enemy is in the light, and he is in the dark. This has always been a uncomfortable feeling for Liu Xia, who likes to control the overall situation.
He brushed away a few strands of green silk from his forehead that blocked his vision, then turned his head to look at the cabinet.
ββ¦β¦β
After a moment of contemplation, he stood up and walked forward, opened the cabinet door, and took out a small cardboard box that had been heavy.
The hand tossed and turned, and the tightly taped, tightly wrapped box, made a sound of metal colliding. Liu Xiali took the box, turned to the table, and used a knife to make a square cut in it, and then opened it.
And the contents of the box are the pistol that Hai Wei quietly helped him get in the last bank incident! And unbelievably, there are two brand-new pistol bullets firmly held together by the buckle, and a scattered bullet!
Of course, Liu Xia knew that this bullet must have been prepared for him by the Tokyo consul. In fact, the conversation between the two was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. Although Li Shunsheng has been playing official in his mouth, it seems that he wants to make a big thing a small thing, and how could Liu Xia, who has been listening to this kind of similar words every day since he was a child, not understand what he really meant.
Liu Xia casually took out the pistol and took out the magazine, but sure enough, there was not a single bullet in it.
I see. β
Seeing this scene, Liu Xia's cold brown eyes flashed an unkind light.
Whether this pistol had bullets before or not, Liusha knew better than anyone. And the reason why Consul Li removed all the bullets from the magazine was to tell Liu Xia that he hoped that he could be quiet and low-key in Japan and not create unnecessary disputes too much. But the bullets he prepared actually represented his attitude of 'hope and request' rather than 'command and instruction'.
Of course, those bullets don't stop there.
First of all, the scattered bullet did not fall out of the buckle, but was deliberately put in. This means that if Ryusha is not satisfied with the forced actions of the Self-Defense Forces of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that day, he can directly shoot the officer who gave the order. The Chinese embassy and consulate will be responsible for the specific aftermath.
Second, the meaning of those two twelve bullets is simple, but it is also complex. These bullets were only used for Liu Xia to defend himself when necessary, but one of the two bullets was five bullets and the other was seven, which means that the number of twelve bullets is not a coincidence. In ancient China, the day was divided into twelve hours, after which it was considered a new reincarnation. He prepared twelve rounds of ammunition for Liuxia, meaning that he hoped that Liuxia would be able to use these bullets at the necessary moment. Don't hurt someone's life for the sake of grievances and grievances in Japan. This, as well as the hint that there are no bullets in the magazine, is echoed. In fact, in a sense, Consul Li still hopes that Liu Xia will not retaliate against the military, after all, the current international situation is becoming more and more wrong.
It seems that they treat me as the group of young masters who can't stand it at all. β
Liu Xia weighed the slightly heavy pistol in his hand, and such an interesting thought flashed through his heart. The bullets were then disassembled one by one and packed into magazines.
Liu Xia's identity is too special. If it were placed in China, it would not cause such a big wave. But as a person with such a background, he can be exiled from the country, and it is also the kind of country whose relations are in a frozen period. It can be said that this kind of thing has not happened since the founding of the country.
For the eldest young master of this status, Li Shunsheng and his group of people who have climbed from the domestic county and city political circles to the international political circles are really difficult to handle. Because of some unwritten rules, they can't make this kind of thing clear to your face. I can only dimly point you at once in various places. As for whether you can understand it, it depends on whether your mind is bright enough. If you can't understand this common hint, then this eldest young master estimates that this is the case in his career in this life.
Of course, if Liu Xia was angry in his heart and wanted to take revenge on the officer who took the lead in being 'unfriendly' to Liu Xia, as they had hinted at, they would do it himself, they couldn't say it explicitly, but Liu Xia could.
After all, it's impossible for a person to personally carry a gun with only one bullet to someone's army to kill people, right?
In fact, for this kind of thing that will not endanger her own danger, Liu Xia is still very cooperative. Years of peaceful life in Japan have long worn away the arrogant and arrogant edges and corners in his heart. A person who fails in many things does not lose to someone who is better than himself, but to himself. For a 'public' figure who is destined not to appear in the public eye, Liu Xia is now too aware of this relationship.
This is a 9x19mm P226 single-action double-action firing semi-automatic pistol with a maximum ammunition capacity of up to fifteen rounds. Loading all the bullets in the box into the magazine, Liu Xia snapped it shut, and the pistol filled with ammunition became heavier.
It seems that we should pay attention to it in the future. β
Putting the pistol in his pocket, Ryusha took off his suit jacket and hung it on the hanger. In fact, he is still relatively sure of his safety. Although it is true that there was an incident today that he was almost hit by a car, Liu Xia will not be inferior to any professional soldier in terms of sensitivity to such things as the muzzle.
Just as women have a sixth sense that can't be explained, Liu Xia's sensitivity to guns also has something that is not called a sixth sense. As long as you are pointed at a gun, the tingling feeling on your scalp will not stop - this is probably the sixth sense of every soldier who has experienced death.
But in reality, he was more worried about the people around him being ......
'Strange, what am I thinking?' β
Suddenly realizing that his thoughts seemed to be a little different from before, Liu Xia couldn't help but be stunned.
He is the one who knows himself best, and everything else is fine, but when it comes to the safety of his life, he is almost a person who gives up everything in order to survive. His behavior may seem inconsequential, but in fact everything is done for himself. And the idea of thinking about others is a fallacy in Liu Xia's view.
But now, he was unexpectedly worried about the people around him. With the exception of his father, who died when he was very young, I am afraid that this feeling of worrying about others had never appeared in anyoneβnot even the grandfather who looked at him unpleasantly.
"Why do you want to do so much...... Liu Xia said to herself in her heart, wanting to throw this thought away. Then he opened the violin case next to the table with some embarrassment.
In his final year, he planned to compose the unfinished piece composed by the successive presidents of the violin club. Actually, he didn't have this idea at first, but after seeing the three of them today, this desire to finish the song as soon as possible became more and more intense.
"People always need some brilliance."
He muttered to himself with a blank face, then put his glasses back on and pulled out the sheet music from the portfolio.
Nothing was said all night
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, Liu Xia left the house directly after washing. Today is Wednesday, and Liu Xia remembers that on the Wednesday of the previous week, Xiao Liuhua seemed to leave home early to go to school, and it should be that the school has something to do.
I remember hearing clearly. β
complained about himself casually in his heart, and Liu Xia, who was carrying a handbag, stepped out of the corner. The time was just right, and Xiao Liuhua's figure appeared in front on time. Liu Xia loosened the tie in front of the neckline, and then stepped forward.
I haven't noticed it in the distance, but when I got closer, Liu Xia suddenly realized that something was wrong-today's little Liuhua wasn't wearing her blindfold. This unusually cute little face that had lost the cover of the blindfold suddenly appeared in Liu Xia's eyes, and for a moment, he suspected that he had recognized the wrong person!
Maybe it's because Xiao Liuhua always wears an eye patch after the official acquaintance, and Liu Xia has adapted to her somewhat neurotic appearance. Today, she suddenly took off her disguise, which was particularly moving in Liu Xia's eyes, who rarely noticed her face when she didn't wear an eye patch before.
Xiao Liuhua's eyes are actually very beautiful, and the fair skin on her little face is as tender as a freshly shelled egg. Crystal light blue eyes as bright as stars. Although the chest is flat, with the petite and delicate body in a slightly loose sailor suit, it can reflect the unique cuteness of Lori. However, today she seems to have encountered something unhappy, and her pale pink mouth is so pouting that she can almost hang up the lantern. The two small braids on the dark blue hair followed the dull hair on the top of the head, and they also looked listless.
Liu looked at Xiao Liuhua's delicate and cute appearance and was a little stunned, until Xiao Liuhua found him and raised his head to look at him with those mirror's clear eyes, he suddenly woke up.
"What's going on?"
I secretly scolded myself for what the hell has happened these days, and I can be attracted to a child who has just entered middle school. But he asked as if nothing had happened.
Xiao Liuhua looked at Liu Xia's eyes, shook her head listlessly, and didn't say a word. Because he didn't have an eye patch, Liu Xia, who even forgot that Xiao Liuhua had a second middle school disease, hurriedly reflected, he helped his glasses and said, "Is it sealed, then the silence is lifted." β
These words seemed to passers-by as if they really had some magical power, and as soon as they finished speaking, Xiao Liuhua's listless face barely made a serious look: "It seems that it is really because of the return of the invisible realm that the contractor has mastered the art of purification." β
"Maybe, maybe mercury or something." Liu Xia, who didn't understand how Xiao Liuhua found any invisible realm line at all, casually talked nonsense, and then got to the point: "What happened today?" β
Not to mention the weak look, just the disappearance of the blindfold and contact lenses that she saw as more important than her own life, which is particularly strange. The ghost knows that something terrible must have happened - only for Rokuka.
"There's a lot going on!" Xiao Liuhua said seriously, and then she raised her toes and raised her hand to grab Liu Xia's arm, and her light blue eyes full of serious expressions actually faintly appeared tears: "Didn't you say that you would come to support the Evil King's True Eye when he was in trouble!" β
'This ...... Why did you suddenly cry when this one was serious? β
Liu Xia, who was the least good at crying girls, suddenly didn't know what to do, although her face was still expressionless. But a few cold sweats already faintly broke out on the corners of his forehead: "I did say that, what happened." β
"The True Eye of the Evil King was temporarily taken away by the Holy Conditioners by cruel means!" Although Xiao Liuhua looked excited, her serious expression never left the tears in her eyes.
"This is happening." Seeing that she didn't seem to cry, Liu Xia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart. He lifted his glasses and said seriously, "How did she do it?" β
Liuhua let go of the hand that was holding Liu Xia's arm, and a very cute and aggrieved look appeared on her originally serious face: "The Holy Temper forced me to eat the evil fruit that lowers my magic power...... But this is impossible...... In the end, I had no choice but to temporarily give up the seal of the Evil King's True Eye......"
She said intermittently, and Liu Xia suddenly understood what was going on. It is estimated that Xiao Liuhua was a picky eater, and Shihua asked her to eat some vegetables she didn't like, and Liuhua was finally forced to hand over her contact lenses and eye mask in order not to eat vegetables.
'This kid. β
Seeing that the cute little girl in front of her once again showed a heartbreaking expression on her face, Liu Xia was a little helpless in her heart: "So, I didn't eat breakfast today." β
Xiao Liuhua nodded aggrievedly, but then she seemed to remember something, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes flashed and looked down, as if she could cry at any time: "And when the Evil King's True Eye Envoy needed help the most, the contractor did not appear!" β
"That must be the wrong way you summoned it."
"How is that possible!" Xiao Liuhua raised two small fists unconvinced: "I obviously have the summoning ritual according to what you said!" β
As she said this, tears welled up again, and her sparkling eyes radiated an unyielding light, and she immediately straightened her waist and stretched out her five fingers to open forward: "Let, my-spirit-deep-within-move-from-out-of-night!" β
Speaking Japanese-style English, which seemed to be unusually tall for a student of her age, she maintained that posture and immediately raised her head to look at Liu Xia: "And then you didn't show up!" β
"I showed up." Liu Xia's glasses flashed with a light, he said expressionlessly, and then walked to the direction where Xiao Liuhua's five fingers were open: "Look." Over here. β
ββ¦β¦β
She blinked, looked at Liu Xia in some confusion, and then looked at her palm, and was silent for a moment.
β¦β¦
"You're a liar!" Immediately reacted to Liu Xia's remarks as if he was fooling a fool, and Xiao Liuhua finally couldn't help it. She sat down on the floor with a pop and burst into tears.
Liuhua is just a secondary disease, not a mental retard!
Sure enough, the most troublesome part came. β
Feeling the suddenly very strange gaze of the passers-by around him, Liu Xia shivered. He hurriedly walked to the girl and squatted down on one knee, helped his glasses and said, "I'm not lying to you, there is actually another reason." β
Xiao Liuhua doesn't listen to Liu Xia's quibbles, even if she suffers from the discussion and guidance of her classmates in the class, she won't care about anything, and still go her own way. But being deceived by his only contractor made the feelings and their simple little six flowers very sad.
"I really didn't lie to you." Liu Xia's brain was running to the extreme at this moment, and his mind was constantly spinning with various reasons to calculate, and in just one second, he immediately found the best reason: "I felt your call a long time ago, just because I had no means of transportation, so I could only walk to you, and seeing me on the road is the best proof." β
For secondary and second diseases, once this kind of flawed reason is colored by mysterious power, their IQ will plummet. And Xiao Liuhua is no exception, when she listened to the first half of Liu Xia's words, her crying was already much quieter. But she still stubbornly said: "Liar! β
Seeing her reaction, the heart said that this reason seemed to be playful. Liu Xia coaxed a child to attach his palm to Xiao Liuhua's long shiny silky inky blue hair and said, "Trust me, I am your contractor, and I will never lie to you." β
Xiao Liuhua's body carried the unique milky fragrance of a little girl of her age, and this sweet smell had penetrated into Liu Xia's nose, which immediately made him slightly in a trance.
Liu Xia's words seemed to have some magic, she wiped her tears with one hand, raised her head from time to time with sobs, and looked at Liu Xia's expressionless face with tearful eyes: "Really...... Yes? β
"I am your contractor."
Liu Xia's calm brown eyes fell directly into Xiao Liuhua's pure and abnormal eyes through the lenses. Hearing this, Liuhua seemed to understand this perfunctory remark as something else, and her originally aggrieved look immediately showed a hint of expectation.
"Forever?"
'Of course it is'
ββ¦β¦β
Liu Xia just wanted to say this, but when the words came to his mouth, he was suddenly stopped!
According to the past, this kind of coaxing children is simply to open their mouths and not blink their eyes. But now looking at Liuhua's pure and innocent eyes, he suddenly felt that the words that were originally said casually seemed to be extraordinarily heavy.
Isn't it just a child, just talk about it. β
Although he comforted himself so much in his heart, as soon as he remembered that he would have to leave here after graduation, and that he would probably never be able to return to this place where he had lived for four years in the future, he faintly did not dare to face Liuhua's innocent eyes.
"Forever?"
Looking at Liu Xia, who had been silent for a long time, a nervous look suddenly appeared on Liuhua's little face, she clenched her little fist tightly, and asked again.
She's still so young, she doesn't have to grow up, I'm afraid she will forget about it in a year or two! β
Liu Xia, whose eyes were a little evasive, found such a seemingly absolutely reasonable reason for herself, and then gritted her teeth and directly met Liuhua's nervous eyes.
"Yes!"
β¦β¦
The early morning sun peeked through a drifting cloud.
Liuhua's broken little face was reflected in a layer of pale gold, and her originally nervous brow gradually loosened. The light blue eyes inexplicably shone with a wonderful light.
The next moment, a bright smile rose at the corner of her mouth, warm and deep.
