Chapter 3: The Magician

"Clear your memory?" Wen Cheng looked at his red eyes with a slight smile in puzzlement.

"That's right, you're watching cats and mice at home tonight, so you haven't seen me."

Looking at the tablemate, who was slightly cute because of his sluggishness, facing the boyish breath swept on his forehead, the girl pursed her lips and smiled, looked at his loose shoulders, and added,

"I'm really sorry, I usually only save children, so I only ...... this" looked back at Gu Wencheng apologetically, "Oh, and," Liu Zhen added, "The front of the temporal lobe and the hippocampus are in charge of short-term memory and long-term memory respectively, and if you accidentally misplace, it will be a big trouble, and the back of the head is the best injection port compared to the forehead, so you must not move it."

The warm particles formed a thin filament from the girl's shoulders and were transmitted to her fingertips, and a trace of coolness came from the back of Wen Cheng's head.

Although he wanted to struggle and resist, for some reason it was extremely useful for the girl to hold the back of his head, Gu Wencheng unconsciously closed his eyes and waited for the girl to execute his memory.

The boy's eyebrows twitched nervously, and after waiting for a long time but not seeing the girl move, he slowly opened his eyes, only to find that the girl was looking up at him calmly with a hint of imperceptible evil smile.

"Wait a minute!" There was an urgent crisp sound behind him, and a short-haired girl appeared, panting with her hands on her knees.

The girl's name is Su Meng, and she is also Wen Cheng's classmate, to be precise, she is sitting on his left, across a corridor from the study committee, the girl is white and thin, wearing old-fashioned black-framed glasses, a blue uniform and a short skirt.

Although it is separated by an aisle, it is undoubtedly the classmate who communicates with Wen Cheng the most, and during the day, she also gave Wen Cheng a box of cookies that she baked herself, saying that it was for supper, but Wen Cheng ate it on the spot.

"Su Meng, here." Ryu Jin smiled meaningfully at the boy and withdrew his arm.

"Whew...... Call...... I'm sorry, I'm late." Su Meng walked over slowly, the tip of his nose and forehead were covered with beads of sweat, and the short hair over his ears and the wetness on his neck were sticking together. The glasses were a little foggy, the thin calves were slightly red, and the leather shoes and black socks were eager.

"Hey, tell you to take it easy, you still run." Liu Zhen took a few steps back, his hands hung down, a few strands of red hair wrapped around his shoulders again, and returned to the direct underside of the light, watching Su Meng walk to Gu Wencheng's side with an expressionless face.

"Ryu Jin, please don't do this." Su Meng leaned forward a little more, half of his shoulders in front of the boy, and the top of his head was level with his shoulders.

"It's just a night of erasing the memory, and people don't die." Liu Zhen looked indifferently at the street in the distance, pulled the sleeves of his sweater, until only his knuckles were exposed, and then wrapped his arms around his chest.

"Liu Zhen, can't you feel it?"

"I can't feel it." Ryu Zhen shook his head, letting the hair on his shoulders come back behind his back, still looking into the distance, biting his lip lightly, his fingers tightly clasped on the cuffs, and the white lines on the skirt drooped down.

The blue school uniform suddenly stretched out his left sleeve, grabbed Wen Cheng's hand from behind, pulled it hard to his waist and spread it out, and dragged a few steps forward unsatisfied, until he occupied the center of Liu Zhen's sight.

"That...... Then that's all right." Su Meng uncharacteristically pursed his stubborn little mouth.

"Not interested." Liu Zhen said indifferently.

"That's fine, Ryu Jin." Su Meng lowered his head, trembling slightly, and grabbed the boy's hand even harder, leaving a shallow mark on his wrist.

"If you're going to give up on him, then give up on me first, I've been dragging you down anyway, haven't I?" Su Meng lowered his head and said tremblingly.

"Don't do that, Su Meng." Yoo Jin stretched out his worried hand.

"Simply...... You erase my memories too, all of them, as long as they are about the two of you......" Su Meng raised his right hand to cover his heart, grabbed the collar of his blue school uniform, and broke the petals with force.

A taxi with a green light in front of the window drove behind it, slowed down past the three of them, and quickly sped away.

"Alright, alright." Liu Zhen sighed, walked over and touched Su Meng's little ear, and then touched the palm of the boy who was being held by Su Meng, staring at the boy with a blank face, like a police officer looking at a suspect.

"There is only one in order, and the others are like garbage heaps, even if you pass the assessment, you are a useless guy." She took a few steps back and said impatiently as she looked at the street lamp in the distance.

"Yoo Jin, believe me, he can do it." Su Meng raised his head to reveal dark blue eyes, and said happily towards the back of his neck covered by crimson hair.

"I know, I know, I'll talk about it tomorrow at school. Let's go, Su Meng." Yoo Jin turned his back and prepared to leave.

Gu Wencheng swallowed hard.

"Wait!" He said.

"Say." Liu Zhen looked at the ground lightly.

"I'm sorry, I haven't calmed down just now, but I've heard some of them, can I understand that I can also become a magician?" The boy asked.

"Magician." Liu Zhen stood on tiptoe and said lightly to his slowly stretched shadow.

"What?"

"I'm correcting your words, stupid." Liu Zhen said without looking back.

"So, can I become a magician?" The boy asked questions without hesitation, his heart pounding like a blind man waiting for the sunrise.

"Ahhhhh Ryu Jin still had his back to the boy and shook his head impatiently.

"So, it's true!" The boy's eyes widened, his mouth grew, and he smiled joyfully.

"It's true!" He repeated.

"Really, you can't ......help it," Ryu Zhen tilted his head slightly, playing with his hair in a cold tone.

"Liu Zhen, and Su Meng, why didn't you tell me earlier?!" The boy looked at Su Meng, who smiled apologetically.

"Hey!" Ryu Zhen quickly interrupted him, "Do you really think this is some kind of great profession?!" She sighed as she lowered her sad lips, "Stupid, do you really want to be a magician? It's not that easy to follow."

"Yes!" Wen Cheng took a step closer and clenched his fists and said, "Of course I want to!" The smile of excitement and anticipation probably looked like this, and it bloomed from the boy's face as he had never seen it before.

After a while, he looked at Yoo Jin and added, "Yoo Shin, do you know how long I've been waiting for this day?"

Ryu Zhen looked at him meaningfully, and Wen Cheng met Ryu Zhen's eyes without fear and responded calmly and sincerely.

Liu Zhen frowned, for unknown reasons.

"Isn't it okay? Yoo Jin?" The boy asked in disbelief, "I really want to be a magician, by the way, is Su Meng also a magician?"

"Nonsense." Liu Zhen said.

The boy stopped asking questions and waited quietly with a wistful look on his eyes.

"Alright then," Ryu Zhen sighed, "but I've had too many tasks lately, and I'm very tired, so don't bother me."

"Great!" The boy nodded desperately, "Liu Zhen, it's okay for me to teach myself," he glanced at Su Meng who was smiling softly on the side again, and then looked back at Liu Zhen, "Su Meng can teach me too, I won't drag you down."

"Although I have reservations about your attitude," Liu Zhen replied blandly, "but you can ask Su Meng for the specific details, and she will help you complete the assessment procedures."

Reaching over his shoulder, he waved his hand generously and began to turn.

"That's right......"

"Tell me, I'm really sleepy." Liu Zhen helplessly spread out his hands and rubbed his shoulders and neck.

"Actually, I still have a lot of questions, can you go to my house if it's convenient?" The boy asked tentatively.

Liu Zhen looked at the ground silently, and after dozens of seconds of silence, the boy opened his mouth again,

"That's right, it's already two o'clock, and I really want to know a lot about the magician."

"I don't have time to talk to you about these basics," Ryu Zhen said, "and the recent disappearances alone are enough of a headache."

"Yes, yes!" The boy quickly added, "I have a clue here, in fact, I've been researching the identification system of the Valley Dog Company recently."

"Really?" Liu Zhen snorted, "Inviting female classmates to your home in the middle of the night is not pure."

"No, no," Wen Cheng waved his hand, looked at Liu Zhen honestly and said, "Don't worry, I won't mess around, besides, Liu Zhen, you are so powerful." He looked at Su Meng again for help, and Su Meng looked at Liu Zhen with a red face.

"Forget it, stupid." Ryu Zhen sighed and asked, "Do you have a clean quilt?"

"Yes, I haven't used it yet." Wen Cheng replied.

Ryu Zhen turned his head to look across the road.

"I'm going to buy a toothbrush."
