After the meeting ended, Chu Xuan began to "hang out" and looked at Gao Cheng's house inside and out.

I have to say that Soichiro Takashiro and Yuriko Takashiro are still very capable - not only referring to their personal abilities, but also limiting their financial resources, power, status and connections.

At least even if an ordinary rich person can afford a mansion bigger than the Gao Cheng family, it is impossible for him to be the leader of a local right~wing group.

When Chu Xuan was wandering along the stone road and in the courtyard of Gao Cheng's house, on the edge of the pond, he saw Poison Island Tsuneko wearing a kimono from a distance.

Poison Island Tsuneko squatted gracefully, her long black hair scattered behind her, like an ancient princess.

There seemed to be a little unspeakable melancholy in her eyes, silently staring at the water, and the whole person was as elegant and fragrant as a lilac.

Chu Xuan stopped and pushed down his glasses, as if he was thinking about whether to make further contact with this girl who had not had much communication all along.

After dozens of seconds, Chu Xuan walked over unhurriedly and stood silently behind the side of Poison Island Son.

"It's really a beautiful nine-striped dragon."

As soon as Chu Xuan stood still, he neither got up nor looked back, as if he hadn't seen his poisonous island brother take the initiative to speak.

"Are you talking about 'Shi Jin'?"

Chu Xuan looked at the koi swimming leisurely in the pond with an expressionless face, and said very puzzledly.

"Heh~"

Poison Island Tsuneko chuckled very elegantly.

"That was a 'Chu Xuan-style' joke just now, right?

I've also watched "Water Margin". ”

"Just kidding."

Chu Xuan's voice, which had never fluctuated without any fluctuations, sounded behind Poison Island Tsuneko, and even if she didn't look back, she could imagine Chu Xuan nodding seriously with an expressionless face.

Although there was not much communication between the two of them, Poison Island seemed to be able to understand Chu Xuan very easily.

Perhaps, this is because she thinks that Chu Xuan's indifferent appearance is a relationship that is always in the realm of "Mirror Stopping Water" in the martial arts.

Although Chu Xuan never usually participated in battles, even without his blockbuster outburst while protecting Saya Takashiro, Poison Island Tsuneko had never ignored this man with a very ordinary appearance, not so much handsome, but with strong willpower.

Ants can't detect how tall Mount Tai is, and only when it is strong enough can it ...... is also qualified to feel Chu Xuan's strength.

If you use a very mysterious "breath" to describe it specifically, what Chu Xuan in the eyes of Poison Island Tsuiko has is the breath of the sea, the breath of the sky, and the breath of the universe.

- both empty and all-encompassing; It's calm and tranquil, but it's also violent and dangerous.

Chu Xuan was very close to her, but far away from her, just like the sea, the sky, and the universe.

"This level of nine-striped dragon is rare."

Poison Island said in a leisurely tone, as if he was inviting Chu Xuan to come forward and watch it together.

Chu Xuan silently took a few more steps forward, standing next to the squatting poison island man, his glasses staring at the pond reflectively, without saying a word.

Neither of them said a word, and in this way they spent a quiet time that seemed to belong to the present world and had not changed for thousands of years.

After a long time, a gorgeous "nine-striped dragon" koi fish jumped out of the mirror-like water, and then fell again, breaking the picture as if time had been frozen.

“…… It's so quiet...... Staying with you makes you forget that the outside world is full of zombies. ”

Poison Island looked at the ripples rippling in the water, and sighed faintly.

"In that case, stay by my side all the time."

Chu Xuan's waist was straight, his glasses looked at the mountain tip in the distance reflectively, and he said in a very calm tone.

"It's ......"

Poison Island finally raised his head and looked at Chu Xuan with a slight stunnedness, but only saw his resolute chin.

She couldn't be sure if the sentence just now was still a "Chu Xuan-style" cold joke, but she also didn't think that the sentence just now was Chu Xuan's confession.

"Isn't this kind of 'mirror and water' realm exactly what you are pursuing?"

Chu Xuan lowered his head slightly, his gaze downward, and he unabashedly met the gaze of Poison Island Tsuneko.

After about a few minutes, Poison Island Tsunzo lowered his eyes slightly, then lowered his head again, and said in that voice with a little imperceptible melancholy, as if talking to himself:

"Four years ago, I was attacked by a man while walking at night.

Of course, I didn't give in - because I had a wooden knife in my hand.

I broke the man's shoulder blade and thigh bone, but because it was a legitimate defense, the police sent me home after understanding the situation.

But...... I was very happy.

The appearance of a definite enemy makes me happy!

At that time, I knew very well that I was in an absolute position with a wooden knife.

But I pretended to be scared, induced the man to act, and then attacked him without hesitation!

…… It's a joy.

It's really happy, and it's hard for me to resist.

After being able to attack zombies with a wooden knife with impunity, I was actually very happy in my heart.

- Of course, I don't want the whole world to be like this, but now that the zombie virus has exploded, I think it's okay to be like this now.

This is the real me, and it's my poisonous island Tsumiko's real surname.

Do you think that I, who am addicted to power without even a valid reason like this, am still qualified to pursue the realm of 'Crystal Stopping Water'? ”

Poison Island Tsuneko's tone was calm, but from her words, you could hear a trace of inferiority and self-loathing about this girl.

Maybe it's because of this that she usually behaves coldly, it's not cold and noble, it's just out of a melancholy consciousness that she can't be an ordinary girl.

She is worried that the devil hidden in her heart will suddenly burst out one day and hurt others.

At the same time, she is also afraid that others will discover the devil in her heart, so that she will completely become an "alien" who is alienated by everyone.

Rather than being alienated from others in the future, it is better to take the initiative to distance yourself now – at least keep a safe distance from others at all times.

However, for some reason, Poison Island now feels that it doesn't matter if these things are told to Chu Xuan, and it doesn't matter if he exposes his true surname in front of Chu Xuan.

Probably, this is also because of a kind of wordless trust between strong people, or because of a woman's natural intuition.

After quietly listening to Poison Island's words, Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, and replied in an indifferent voice that was the same as usual:

"Qualifications or something...... It never existed.

Whatever you want, you can do it.

— including the random killing of innocent civilians with real katanas. ”

"Hehe......"

A somewhat weird smile appeared on Poison Island's face, and she said with some self-deprecation:

"Do you mean that I only deserve to be a knife killer...... But yes, I have a devil in my heart anyway. ”

"I'm sorry that the example I'm giving is too extreme."

Chu Xuan apologized emotionlessly, unable to hear any sincerity.

"I mean, don't deny yourself lightly.

Whether it is life or the realm of 'mirroring and stopping water', as long as you want to pursue it, no one will stop you.

If you have already denied yourself in advance that you have the qualifications to pursue the realm of 'Mirror Stopping Water', then you will never be able to reach that realm. ”

Poison Island was silent for more than ten seconds before asking:

"So you're saying that you want me to affirm even the violent tendencies in my own heart?"

"It's not as simple as blindly affirming, the first thing that must be done is to face it squarely.

Do you need me to give you counseling and genetic testing?

In addition to environmental influences and psychological problems that can contribute to violent tendencies, genes can also contribute to innate violent tendencies. ”

Chu Xuan solemnly corrected Poison Island Tsuneko's thoughts, and then lowered his head to look at her again.

And Poison Island Tsuiko seemed to have a heart with Chu Xuan at this moment, and he also raised his head, and his eyes just met Chu Xuan.

On her always cold and glamorous face, she showed an elegant smile like a Yamato Nadeshiko, and said to Chu Xuan in a calm and serious tone:

"Thank you, I've done all of that online.

Maybe it's my family or my genes, but for myself, this kind of 'excuse' doesn't give me relief.

But I understand now, probably, that I was born to meet you.

The life with 'you' is the life I want.

When you're going to 'leave'...... If you don't give up, please let me follow you all the time. ”

(It seems that she has already guessed something, and probably Yi Jia also gave her, and maybe Miyamoto Rei and Saya Takashiro through a little bit of tone.)

But that's also a matter of calculation. Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, and immediately made a decision in his heart.

"Let me make it clear first, if you want to be my woman, you must have the consciousness of other women who accept me."

Chu Xuan was unceremonious...... Or to say it shamelessly.

Poison Island Tsuneko was really taken aback, reached out and pressed his chest, and replied as if muttering:

"W-what, do you still want this body?

Sorry, I haven't thought about it yet.

But if you insist...... I'll think about it. ”

Poison Island Tsuneko's eyes widened, as if he was very innocent.

It seems that this seemingly mature cold and beautiful girl also unexpectedly has a natural side, obviously she herself said something like a confession to Chu Xuan just now.

But that's fine...... Well, Poison Island Tsuneko's reaction is still the same as Chu Xuan's calculation, now it is enough to do this first...... Hey? But Poison Island seems to have forgotten about "Chu Xuan's other women", right?

Did you not pay attention...... Or don't you care at all...... Or is it ......
