Chapter 25: The Wheel of Fortune Keeps Spinning (Part I)

In the evening, Fu Ji Kenri left the hotel alone without informing Shinomo, and then took the train to the Bunkyo district in the center of Tokyo......

That's where he'd been in the hospital all the time.

This time, Fu Ji Xianli naturally went over there not to review, but to meet with the other party at the request of Zonggu Xuanren.

After meeting at a station, the two sides took the train again to transfer their positions, and then, led by Gento Soya, the two came to a place that looked like an abandoned warehouse.

"Isn't it going to rain again......"

The sound of metals colliding with each other and the lock popping open was a little harsh in the quiet and decadent environment, and just as Zonggu Xuanren unlocked the lock, Fu Ji Xianli looked up at the sky and said with emotion in his mouth.

He didn't want to get wet.

The night had sunk, but the stars and the moon were completely absent from the summer night.

"This used to be my studio, and I kept my notes on the incredible events here." After opening the door and turning on the light, Zonggu Xuanren walked into the warehouse first, followed by Fu Ji Xianli.

"Fu Jixian, do you know why I will be more active in introducing you into those 'extraordinary knowledge'?"

"I don't know, isn't it because you're eager to help others?"

Although some knowledge may not be important to Zonggu Xuanren, it is precisely because of his help that Fu Ji Xianli initially controlled his power. But if you want to ask why the other party would help, Fu Jixian thinks that it is just a kind of mutual assistance between the same kind.

"Not exactly, I told you before that I don't have the energy to continue to do this kind of work, so I'm going to gradually quit and enjoy my old age as an ordinary person...... As you know, I was hospitalized for a long time for medical reasons.

I will choose to engage with you, not only because we are the same kind of people, but more importantly, the relationship between the seniors and the juniors of the same kind of people...... I don't need this studio anymore, and I don't want it to be scrapped, so I'm going to give it to you. ”

"That's ...... so"

Fu Ji Xianli nodded, no matter what his subjective intentions were, the objective conditions of his body seemed to not allow Zonggu Xuanren to participate in those dangerous things anymore.

"After I fade out, it may be difficult to help you in the future, so if you encounter any problems in the future, you can go to this person, and she will help you." As he spoke, Zonggu Xuanren handed over a contact information to Fu Ji Xianli.

Fu Ji Xianli took it and looked at it, and then asked, "Mr. Soya, do people like us, or people who specialize in dealing with anomalies, have a subordinate organization?" I remember you revealed something about it earlier. ”

"It's not an organization, it's a loose association to exchange information and help each other when necessary......

However, the more you come into contact with mysterious people, the more trust you often lack in each other, because no one knows what is going on in the other's head, so you will definitely come into contact with that kind of place in the future, but there is no need to contact too much. ”

Soya Gento explained like this, and his statement is not difficult to understand...... If a group of gods get together, it will subconsciously make people feel that they will not do anything good.

"I understand, I'm just wondering if there is anyone in the so-called association who is very good at removing spirits, something like 'Mr. Kamui in the rear'."

"Fu Jixian, don't you believe in things like 'spirits'?"

"I'll just say it casually."

"Well, there are people who are very good at slaying spirits, but ...... Mr. Kamui? I haven't heard of such a person, what are his characteristics? ”

"It's okay, don't care, it's just a legendary character who uses hot-swap to remove spirits."

While chatting, Zonggu Xuanren took Fu Ji Xianli around the warehouse.

Sure enough, there are a lot of books and manuscripts and stuff like that.

As he walked, Fu Jixianli suddenly stopped, because he suddenly saw a living creature - on the top of a bookshelf against the wall, there was a spotted cat squatting, which was looking at this side with its neck crooked and its eyes open.

"Wildcat?"

"No, it's my cat, it's ...... It's a little special and sometimes it can be a big help. ”

Gento Soya walked over to the cat, and then stretched out his hand to it, "If you name it...... I won't tell you, this cat will be handed over to you later, and you can choose a name you like. ”

Cats are either stupid or cold, and this cat obviously belongs to the latter. Faced with the hand stretched out by its master, it chose to dodge for the first time, and when Zonggu Xuanren wanted to stretch out his hand again, it had already begun to bare its teeth, and it was ready to scratch people at any time.

But Fu Jixian didn't have the heart to keep a pet, let alone this kind of cat that looked wild and untamed. However, when he approached the bookshelf, the cat only looked at him, and then the next moment it actually threw itself into his arms...... Such a decisive action almost made Fu Jixian think that the other party was attacking.

He gently pressed the cat in his arms, and after taking a closer look at its appearance, he asked with some surprise, "Is this cat a tanuki cat?" ”

Tanuki cat, a type of Chinese pastoral cat.

Cats don't get close to strangers, so is this some kind of "metaphysical bond" at work right now - a metaphysical bond called "fellow countryman".

Does it refer to the breed of cat? I don't know much about that. As the owner, Soya Gento didn't seem to care about the breed of his pet at all, so he couldn't answer Fu Jixianli's question.

However, the cat did show a sense of closeness to Fu Ji Xianli, even closer than its original owner, and it even took the initiative to show its belly - which was probably close to NTR in person.

Fu Jixianli, who regarded himself as an "animal lover", of course, could not refuse this kind of closeness, so he reached out and scratched the cat's belly.

"Anyway, it's good if it likes you."

Regarding his cat's "mutiny", Gento Soya doesn't seem to be dissatisfied.

Fu Jixian was about to say something, and then something strange suddenly happenedβ€”the cat's brown vertical pupils turned black in an instant, or its entire eyeballs turned black.

Like a camera negative, Fu Jixianli's figure suddenly zoomed in in its eyes, and this abrupt change almost made him throw the cat out.

"Mr. Soya, what's going on......"

"That's the magic of it, and you'll get to know later...... That's all for today, and I'll leave it to you in the future, and you can study it all slowly. ”

As he spoke, Zonggu Xuanren handed over a key to Fu Ji Xianli's hands.

Regarding the cat, Fu Ji Xianli still wanted to ask again, and it was certain that it was indeed not an ordinary cat, but Soya did not seem to have any intention of continuing to explain.

Fortunately, the cat is still in the warehouse for the time being, and Fu Jixian does not need to take it home immediately.

After completing the handover here, Soya Xuanren chose to leave, and Fu Ji Xianli was also ready to return to the hotel.

There was nothing unusual about the separation of the two sides, but when Fu Jixian came to the tram platform, he didn't expect to see an acquaintance here.

After dark, there is no one at the remote station...... Except for a young woman who struggled to hold on to a light box and looked like she was going to fall at any moment.

"Yes...... Miss Xia Shi? ”

At this time, Fu Ji Xianli's first feeling was that the other party was following him.

However, in retrospect, this was actually a chance encounter, and this chance encounter fully illustrates a truth...... Stand-ins and stand-ins are attracted to each other.

Well, to be precise, it should be said that the causal elements of the same thing are always tangled, which is an objective condition.
