Chapter Forty-Seven: An Unexpected Visitor
On the other side, after Gou Ming sent Takagi away, he was about to go back upstairs to sleep.
"Gou Ming, you didn't listen to my advice at all."
A cold voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
Gou Ming was startled and hurriedly looked back.
Megumi Kato, dressed in a black ninja suit, was right behind him, looking at him calmly.
Gou Ming touched his nose in embarrassment.
"Kato-senpai."
Megumi Kato didn't speak, just looked at him.
Her eyes were calm like a clear spring in the depths of the mountain forest, and she couldn't see a trace of waves, but it made Gou Ming feel a lot of pressure.
"By the way, Kato-senpai, I recently learned a very delicious dish, so why don't I make it for you?"
Gou Ming wanted to change the subject.
Megumi Kato still looked at him with calm eyes, which seemed to be able to see through him from the inside out.
Gou Ming felt a little overwhelmed, so he had to raise his hand in surrender.
"I'm sorry."
"Senior Brother Gouming, I don't want to blame you, but you should know that resentful spirits are very dangerous. This danger is not because they possess supernatural abilities, but because they do not have a human view of good and evil, and are not bound by human laws and morals, but only act according to their own obsessions and preferences. ”
Gou Ming took the initiative to admit her mistake, and Megumi Kato's expression did not change much, but her tone softened a lot.
"I remembered, thank you for your concern."
Gou Ming knew that she said this for his good, so she restrained her smile and thanked her very solemnly.
Then Gou Ming greeted her to her seat very warmly, and then asked.
"What do you want to drink? Coffee, tea, or cola? ”
"Please give me a glass of water, thank you."
Megumi Kato.
Gou Ming poured her a glass of water and said casually.
"Senior sister, are you losing weight?"
Megumi Kato glanced up at him.
Gou Ming couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, her eyes seemed to be very flat, and she seemed to have a deep meaning, as if she had seen through his inner thoughts.
Gou Ming couldn't help but cough softly twice to hide the embarrassment on his face.
But soon Gou Ming couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise.
"As a ninja, I have to keep my weight deviation to a minimum, so high-fat, high-sugar foods are absolutely forbidden. In addition, you should also avoid ingesting things with strong smells, such as spices, tea, etc. ”
Megumi Kato told the secret of the ninja in a very flat tone. Her expression was so calm that Gou Ming thought that she would be poured cement into the sea after listening to it.
"It's hard work to be a ninja."
Gou Ming smiled, his smile extremely reluctant and stiff.
Who knew that Megumi Kato actually took a sip of water with a calm face as if she saw through his thoughts, and then said.
"Junior brother, please rest assured. These are not secrets, and like rumors of some strange events, they can be easily found on the Internet, so there is no need to kill people. ”
Seeing the smile that flashed in Megumi Kato's eyes, Gou Ming realized that he had been teased.
Obviously, Megumi Kato didn't listen to his advice and went to a strange place without permission, not without any ideas. She's expressing her displeasure in this way.
Gou Ming knew that he was wrong, and obediently closed his mouth.
Although he broke his promise to Megumi Kato, Gou Ming will still go to the strange location next time.
The recipes of the system are too tempting for him, plus they are also helpful to his restaurant, and under the condition of ensuring his own safety, Gou Ming will not hesitate to accept the tasks released by the system.
"Looking at the younger brother's expression, it seems to say: I know it's wrong, but I dare next time."
Megumi Kato said suddenly.
The expression on Gou Ming's face suddenly stiffened.
'Does this woman know how to read minds?!' ’
At this time, I saw Kato Megumi said with a flat face.
"I'm sorry, I don't have the superpower of mind reading, I've just met a lot of people of all kinds, so I just know a little bit about the art of reading words and feelings."
“……”
Gou Ming has been numb from the shock at the beginning to now being hit by her.
He found that Megumi Kato's emotional intelligence was too high, and instead of playing clever and beating around the bush to try, it was better to go straight.
So Gou Ming no longer bothered to knock on the side, and he asked directly.
"I'm curious to know, how did Senior Sister know that I went to a strange place infested by resentful spirits, and so quickly?"
Gou Ming suddenly changed his style, and a trace of surprise flashed in Kato's eyes, of course, only a hint.
Then I heard Megumi Kato say.
"Because I was able to get some inside information from the police through certain channels."
As he spoke, Megumi Kato glanced at Gou Ming meaningfully.
"The junior brother made a lot of noise tonight~ It is said that even the Metropolitan Police Department was alarmed."
Megumi Kato's expression was too calm, but Gou Ming didn't dare to ignore the details revealed in her words.
Gou Ming always felt that if he continued to dig deeper, there was really a risk of being poured cement and sinking into the sea, so he decisively forced himself to shift his attention.
"Since that's the case, Senior Sister must also know about this case. Therefore, I would like to ask Senpai for a favor......"
"What does the junior want to do? Let's talk about it first, I won't help you with illegal things, senior sister. ”
A hint of doubt flashed in Megumi Kato's eyes.
Gou Ming smiled slightly.
"How could it be~ I'm a good law-abiding citizen. I just want my senior sister to help find out someone's whereabouts. ”
"Who?"
"Jinguji is beautiful."
Gou Ming's eyes flashed, and he spat out a name.
Who knew that after Megumi Kato heard this name, she was slightly stunned at first, and then seemed to suddenly think of something, and her expression sank.
She stretched out her hand directly to Gou Ming.
"Bring it."
"What?"
Gou Ming couldn't help but be stunned.
"A cursed item handed over to you by the wraith."
Kato Megumi frowned slightly, and there was a slight anger between her eyebrows.
This female ninja, who has always behaved very calmly, showed her other side in front of Gou Ming for the first time.
'This can be deduced!? ’
Gou Ming was taken aback.
However, Gou Ming quickly calmed down, and said in a very firm and decisive tone.
"I'm sorry, Kato-san, I can't give that thing to you. I promised someone that I would help her fulfill her wish. ”
The atmosphere between the two suddenly became stiff.
After a long while, Megumi Kato suddenly sighed, and his tone softened.
"Senior Brother Gouming, the behavior of the resentful spirits is all based on preference, they are really dangerous. Maybe as soon as you help it fulfill its wish, it will attack you, and even then, will you continue? ”
Gou Ming pondered for a moment, his gaze swept over the window gap obscured by the poster, and nodded firmly with a determined expression.
"Yes. I want to fulfill my promise. Both for her and for myself. ”
