In the afternoon of the same day.

At the door of a bubble tea shop on the campus of D University, Qin Lingxue and Haneda Sayoko, two girls sat together. As a girlfriend and comrade-in-arms who used to be trained in the United States at the same time, the relationship between the two is very good.

"You said my brother, he ran to ......," Qin Lingxue "Huo" stood up suddenly.

"Don't worry," Sayoko, who was sitting opposite, took a leisurely sip of milk tea, "Listen to me continue......"

When the words came to her lips, Sayoko suddenly hesitated.

According to Qin Yixian, in the summer of two years ago, after the incident at Arkham, Qin Lingxue, who was on the verge of collapse of reason, closed his heart. After several failed psychotherapy attempts, even the Qin family no longer bothered Qin Lingxue, in the eyes of the Qin family, letting Xiaoxue stay away from the hustle and bustle from now on may be the best ending for her.

Looking at Xiaoxue's appearance, she has now stepped out of the shadows. But just tell her so straightforwardly, is it really okay that your seemingly ordinary boyfriend is a person who is difficult to distinguish between good and evil and has something to do with mythological existence?

Sayoko really didn't want to stimulate Xiaoxue's heart anymore.

“…… The two of them are very friendly," Sayoko smiled gently, "It seems that your Qin family has a great hope of cooperating with the Fortress of Reason." Great, Xiaoxue. ”

Qin Lingxue sat back in place, playing with her long black hair.

Can't go wrong.,Sayoko is hiding something.。

You'll have to find a way to get her to speak......

"Sayoko......" Qin Lingxue said slowly.

"Huh?"

"You're really, not good at lying." Qin Lingxue's voice seemed calm.

"I don't have ......"

"Sayoko," Qin Lingxue paused, "Look into my eyes." Repeat 'I didn't' again. ”

"Woo......" Sayoko panicked a little.

Qin Lingxue's oppressive force on herself was as strong as when the two first met, Xiao Yazi thought to herself, maybe she had made a mistake in her previous judgment, and the scars on Xiao Xue's heart really began to heal (mainly because Chen Qiang used the Wisdom Pool to increase the credit of her sanity).

"Actually," Qin Lingxue smiled, "Xiao Yazi, when we met yesterday, I secretly stuffed a bugging device on you. So, I can hear everything you talked about with my brother and Chen Qiang clearly. ”

"Koyuki," Sayoko made a helpless gesture, "you're very good at acting. But, a bugging device or something, as soon as you listen to it, it's ......"

"Huh? Aren't you guys talking about the supernatural and the mysterious? Xiaoxue pretended to be surprised. The scene of discussing "Do you believe in the supernatural" with Chen Qiang flashed in her mind.

"Is there really a bug?" Sayoko was startled by reflex.

"No," Xiaoxue blinked, "but now I can confirm that you're talking about more than just business." ”

“……”

"Tell me, Sayoko," Yuki put on a serious expression, "what the hell did you talk about?" Chen Qiang is my boyfriend, and his business is also my business. ”

Qin Lingxue firmly believed that Chen Qiang was by no means a person who belonged to those crazy organizations.

If this were the case, he would not need to push liquid nitrogen to save himself when facing the monster that Wei Yuanshan had turned into.

He must have been exposed to the true supernatural, but he didn't give up his mind because of it.

"But ......," Sayoko hesitated.

"I've already booked a ticket back to Arkham through the school," Qin Lingxue said sincerely, "I've decided to go back and face everything in the past again." So Sayoko...... Please. Tell me what you talked about. ”

"Okay," seeing her best friend's expression, Sayoko nodded solemnly, "Xiaoxue, you said so......"

……

Earlier, in Chen Qiang's office.

Two men with 96 percent credit and 98 percent credit have the same formulaic smile on their faces, and they blow each other in business.

"Xiaoxue's vision is good, Mr. Chen's ......"

"Haha, I have won awards, Mr. Qin ......"

Finally, Sayoko couldn't listen anymore.

Two big men are embarrassed to blow each other here, are they annoying!

At this time, you should cut straight to the topic!

"Chen Qiang!" She stood up, "Are you here to interview players today, or are you here to talk to Qin Yixian about business?" You're going to blow it, find an izakaya after work...... I mean, why don't you go find a wine table and blow it? ”

"Uh...... Qin Yixian was surprised, "...... I'm sorry. ”

"I'm sorry too," said Chen Qiang, who had long wanted to change the subject, "as compensation, Miss Haneda, Mr. Qin, I will personally present you two with the qualifications for the closed beta of our company's new game." I will contact both of you when needed. ”

Qin Yixian and Haneda Sayoko belong to Chen Qiang's classification as "senior investigators".

But Chen Qiang doesn't know, what is the attitude of these two people towards the general mythical race? Is it "I don't blame me if I don't blame me", or do you want to kill once you find out?

Chen Qiang was worried that his behavior of "shielding" Uncle Xu and Gu Shiyin would attract hostility from the other party.

But Sayoko obviously didn't want to let Chen Qiang go so easily.

"Good, I'm looking forward to your new game," Sayoko said, standing up, "but until then......"

She glanced at the business card that Qin Yixian was holding in her hand.

“…… I'll call you first, and we'll have a good talk about "The Curse of the Hanged King" and my image rights—"

Not good!

As expected, Sayoko noticed something suspicious about The Curse of the Hanged King.

At worst, she's already tied to organizations like the Yellow Seal Brotherhood.

If she and Qin Yixian were allowed to leave, it was unknown what actions the two would take.

Chen Qiang took a deep breath and let himself smile kindly.

"Miss Haneda," Chen Qiang stood up, "you may have noticed. The company has just been founded, and it does not have the ability to produce a masterpiece like "The Curse of the Hanged King......"

"Then ask your backstage boss to come." Sayoko said coldly.

“…… Can't do it. Chen Qiang said honestly.

"Oh?" Sayoko's voice seemed colder.

Chen Qiang walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. Through the transparent glass on one side, Chen Qiang overlooked the players who were still honestly numbering downstairs.

He's ready to burn lucky.

"Do you believe in the supernatural?" Chen Qiang took a deep breath.

"What?" Both of them were shocked at the same time.

"'The Curse of the Hanged King' didn't come from a game production company," Chen Qiang put his hands in his pockets, "but a gift from a gentleman." He claims to be from the distant future, traveling through time, sometimes downstream, sometimes ...... Strive against the stream. ”

[Chen Qiang's speech test 44/78 success]

I hope that with your knowledge of mythology, I am referring to the great race of Is, and the attitude of the great race towards humanity is not completely malicious, Chen Qiang said in his heart.
