When I woke up, I heard a voice asking the person next to me, "Is this guy's talent sleeping?" ”

The other voice was Celeste's. She held her chin with one hand and covered her mouth with her fingertips with the other, letting out a chuckle: "I'm curious too." But since he can turn Tokyo upside down, he must have super-university-level abilities. ”

You're just for 65 million yen in payment. I didn't open my eyes. Because I knew there was not only Cyrus in the car, but another person.

And I have a hobby of eavesdropping on other people's conversations.

It's a pity that this second-hand broken car twisted around in the alley, turned around several times, and the two didn't say a word more.

The car was surprisingly quiet, except for the sound of the air conditioner spewing cold air and the strange tune that the middle-aged man's nose kept humming.

Outside, it was suddenly drizzling, and the climate in Tokyo was similar to that in eastern China.

The light rain quickly turned into a downpour, and it was still a small raindrop just now, and now...... It's more of a submarine's sense of déjà vu.

Well, the time has come. I stretched gently and yawned in satisfaction.

Thanks to Ryusuke Onikawa's almost dolphin-like brain, I was able to maintain three days of high-intensity physical and mental exercise without feeling tired. That sleep was the most soundly I slept in the world so far.

"The sleepy bug woke up?" Seeing that I was awake, Cyrese's voice came leisurely from one side.

"How long did I sleep?" I pretended to have just woken up, rubbed my sleepy eyes, and when I looked up, I saw Cyrus's almost expressionless porcelain baby face.

"Not too long," Cyrus said, looking up, feigned deep thought. After a while, he squeezed out a smile at me, "Two hours, right?" ”

The man in the driver's seat had been listening to us before. At this moment, he finally spoke.

"Hey, if you two want to catch up, you'll have to at least come upstairs with me."

As far as I can remember, apartment buildings in Japan are magical: skyscrapers with more than 20 floors, building managers who are always courteous and polite, neat corridors, polished floor tiles, and unbroken corridor lights......

This is not the case. Although this is no longer a slum, it is not much better. Because the lights are broken, we can only use flashlights in the dark corridors; Of course, even with a flashlight, it is difficult to walk under your feet, the stairs are in disrepair, and the potholed steps are limited by the narrow width; The damp ceiling seeped with water and kept dripping on the floor......

"It might be a bit shabby here," the middle-aged man walking in front scratched his head and said apologetically, "rest assured, there are no bed bugs and rats." ”

Nonsense, of course there will be no rats here, poverty races any kind of rat poison in the world.

We walked down the hallway in silence, except for the clatter of the heels of Cyres' shoes. Luckily, the apartment building wasn't high, and we stopped in front of the only big iron gate on the fifth floor.

"It's finally here," Celes covered her lips as if yawning, "the scouts of Hope's Peak Academy live in such a remote place. ”

But when I pushed the door in, I thought maybe it wasn't as bad as I thought.

At least...... This is a two-bedroom apartment, not a Hong Kong-style "pigeon cage". It's not flashy, but it's neat. The cramped bathroom was probably slightly larger than a slap, and the living room had a simple three-piece sofa and a low stool in front of the sofa, but no dining table. A 55-inch TV hangs in the center, and it tirelessly plays Osaka's travel videos.

"Hee-hee. At this time, I guess it's TV Tokyo, and you're still in the mood to broadcast this, right? Cyrus laughed and said, "But just leave the TV alone, okay?" ”

I saw the wedding photo above the couch. It was the only place in the room that was clean and free of cigarette butts and beer bottles. For a bachelor who is not even willing to guarantee the cleanliness of his own home, any clean place in the room must be of great significance.

"Yes," the middle-aged man smiled bitterly, picked up the remote control and changed the channel, and said as he changed, "Let's take a look at the news of the quarantine of several TV stations." Tomorrow morning, not only in the Tokyo gangsters, but the whole world will blow up. ”

"I'm going to take a shower," Cyrus yawned boredly, reminding me before leaving, "I wish you had brought the principal with me." ”

The switch was to Luvaros' "Moonman Truth" television station, where they were broadcasting a speech by Mirnovic, President of the Republic of Luvaros. Apart from the constant cheers and applause of the Luvaros, I could not discern anything real from his passionate roar.

Then a different channel. A mixed-race student walked out of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, facing the long guns and short cannons of countless reporters, and his eyes were full of murderous intent, and there was a calm look.

"Vlamykiel Victor, the eleventh prince of the 'Victor dynasty' of the hereditary republic of Luvaros," the middle-aged man sighed, "you killed the prince of the most warlike country, and you also involved another one. If that's how you show your talents, that's ......."

"Oh...... That's the agency fee for Cyrus," I replied, "and she introduced me to you, and I gave her the money she deserved." ”

"Looking for me?" The middle-aged man chuckled and opened a can of beer and handed it to me. I made a gesture of refusal, and he was not humble, took a big sip first, comfortably buried himself in the sofa and asked me, "What do I do?" I used to be a Chinese teacher, but now I'm just a vagrant......"

"At the same time, you're the scout of Hope Peak," I interrupted, "and you'll be the class teacher for the Class of '78 who will recruit Hope Peak next year." ”

"You've investigated so well," the middle-aged man chuckled, "I've been a scout for so many years. So far, I don't think any student has come to me on their own initiative. ”

I shrugged: "I like to take the initiative. After all, who wouldn't want to lay the foundation for success in their life in their best years? ”

Joke. There are still two years, not to mention the peak of hope, and the whole world will face the test of life and death.

"So...... What are your talents? ”

"I should be...... Super university hypnotist," I looked up, making a pensive look, "if none of the other sixteen in this class have any overlapping talents with mine." ”

"Ping-Pong—" The beer can fell to the ground. Huang Yinggong's eyes gradually became uneasy.

"How do you know?" There was a hint of trembling in Huang Yinggong's voice, "I haven't shown anyone this year's survey yet!" ”

"You told me," I lied without changing my face, "and you told me...... Hibiki Kiriki, is it your goddaughter? You also have a deceased daughter, who seems to be called ...... May rain pairs, right? Congratulations to her, it was her greatest honor to have the godsister of Hibiki Kiriko before her death. ”

Very good. I simply love Ryusuke Onegawa's talent, and like everyone else, Koichi Huang Sakura was also frightened by me and stayed there in a daze.

I'm 100% sure: tomorrow morning, Huang Yinggong will give you the list of "78 Hope Peak Students" as well.
