Chapter 013: Letters, Flights to London, Early Mornings in Tokyo

December 16, seven o'clock in the morning.

The proprietor unlocked the café with the key, pushed it open, skimmed over the empty café, and walked up the stairs to the attic, muttering:

"Hey, Mingwei, are you feeling better today? You kid didn't go to sleep without taking medicine last night, did you? ”

He climbed up to the attic and turned his head, and what greeted him was equally empty.

There was no one on the sofa or bed, the bed and furniture in the attic were neatly arranged, and the floor and windows were covered with a shallow mist as if they had just been wiped.

The boss was stunned for a moment, scratched his gray hair, and sighed angrily.

"Hey, this stinky boy ......"

He lifted his reading glasses and lowered his eyes to see that there was still the bag of fever reducers on the sofa, and none of the boxes in the bag were opened.

Next to the fever reducer was a pack of cigarettes, and under the cigarette case was a book with a letter in it.

The boss sat down on the couch and picked up the pack of cigarettes and took a look, it was his favorite brand.

He was silent for a moment, then his withered fingers tore open the package, took out a cigarette from it, and lit it with the lighter he carried with him with a "click".

The boss picked up the cigarette, opened the letter, picked out the letter with his fingertips wrapped in smoke, and followed the words downward.

- Boss, I was admitted to a university in the UK, the notice was stuffed in an envelope, a little suddenly, but I will come back more often in the future, I know that the café has been losing money recently, you don't have to pay for the tuition, and if you get a scholarship, I will pay to your account.

- This book is a hardcover version of "For Whom the Bell Tolls", and you didn't keep complaining that the previous one was ruined by a guest with two pages, so I found a new one for you in the bookstore.

- Also, this is the cigarette you wanted, and I wanted to buy a box for you before I was paid, but you kept saying that it was too expensive.

After reading the letter, the boss found an admission letter in the envelope, read the admission notice word for word, and put the cigarette case and the notice on the sofa.

The clock in the attic is still ticking.

"It's time to open a shop...... he leaned back, leaning back on the couch and taking a deep puff of his cigarette, "Forget it, let's rest for the day." ”

........

........

Huanjing International Airport, an Airbus 330 aircraft, first-class cabin.

The first-class cabin is luxuriously furnished, with stacks of hardcover books neatly arranged on the shelves, bottles of free cocktails in the cabinets next to it, and a variety of sweets and fruits in the dining car, including staples such as French toast, tempura shrimp, smoked chicken, and a variety of desserts and fruits.

It's just that this first-class cabin is empty, and only two figures can be seen, sitting on adjacent sofa chairs, talking softly.

"What did you tell him?" Anlens rubbed his chin and flipped through a best-selling book he had taken off the shelf.

"Nothing."

"Hehe, in fact, it doesn't matter, the boss won't post people all over the world to find you."

"He's not coming to me."

"Your tone is so confident, it stands to reason that it sounds strange for an average high school student to suddenly transfer to a university in the UK."

"More than that," Shamingway retracted his gaze from the screen of the television, "I have a lot of questions for you." ”

"Of course," Anlens smiled, "the flight from Beijing to London takes about ten and a half hours, and unless we are stopped by the mythical carrier halfway through, you can ask yourself until you are happy." ”

"It's not funny, maybe we're really ...... by the myth carrier"

Xia Mingwei's voice stopped abruptly, his pupils suddenly contracted slightly, and his doppelganger woke up, and suddenly an extra perspective appeared in his mind.

"What's wrong?" Aarence raised an eyebrow and closed the book with one hand.

"It's nothing, maybe I don't get enough sleep." Xia Mingwei held his forehead and whispered, he split his consciousness in his brain, assigning it to two perspectives: the ontology and the doppelganger.

.........

.........

The interior room of a church in Tokyo, Japan.

Xia Mingwei's doppelganger opened his eyes from the bed, and was greeted by an unfamiliar ceiling, a rather classical room, where he could smell the faint aroma of tea.

His gaze was fixed on the clock on the wall, and since there was a one-hour time difference between Tokyo and Kyoto, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.

"You're awake, Vali." A cold female voice came from the side.

Xia Mingwei turned his head and looked at Qingzhu Rin beside him.

She was wearing a white dress, sitting on the bed on tiptoe and reading, there were mountains of books piled up next to the bed, and the morning light that came in from the window, even if most of it was covered by the piled books, still passed through the gaps between the books, and sprinkled on the girl's fair cheeks.

"WALL-E?" Xia Mingwei asked puzzled, "Why do you call me Vali?" ”

"You say your name is Robert, Robert reads very similar to robot, robot is robot, think of robot, isn't it the movie "Robot Wall-E"?" Rin Kiyotake flipped the pages of the book.

Shamingway was a little speechless.

“…… Isn't it funny? Kiyotake Rin asked.

"Uh......"

Kiyotake Rin pressed the cap of a pencil against his chin and said expressionlessly, "It seems that my ability to joke still needs to be improved." ”

"I think so......"

"Robert, whenever you want to criticize anyone," Kiyotake Rin interrupted, "you have to remember that not all people in this world have the advantages you have. ”

Xia Mingwei shrugged his shoulders and said angrily: "This famous quote is from "The Great Gatsby", right? ”

"You know, it seems to be a robot with a good factory setting."

"I want to say that this sentence does not apply to the status quo, and I myself lack a sense of humor, so it is impossible to criticize you for telling bad jokes."

"It doesn't matter, I admit I don't have a talent for joking." Qingzhu Rin paused, "Also, I want to thank you for scaring those guys a lot. ”

"You mean," Charmingway came back to his senses, "Poseidon and Aphrodite, the god of beauty?" ”

"Yes."

"I thought you respected them."

"No, you can't look at the surface of anything," Rin Kiyotake brushed the strands of hair from the corner of his forehead behind his ears and snorted happily, "Huh...... It's funny to see them scared like that. ”

Xia Mingwei held his forehead and slowly lied:

"At the time, Aphrodite didn't know what she wanted to do to me, so I resisted her in a daze."

"You're probably unleashing the ability of the 'Black Goku' sequence," Rin Kiyotake thought for two seconds, "Judging from the performance, it's similar to the 'Tightening Mantra'?" ”

“…… Maybe? ”

"Compared to this," Kiyotake Rin put down the book, "you should have a lot to ask me." ”

"First of all, what does it mean that the people of the church call us 'Son of God' and 'Daughter of God'?"

Rin Kiyotake picked up a picture album and began to draw it with a pencil: "To put it simply, the people of the church want us to unite and give birth to a more powerful mythological carrier, so they call us that." ”

"Knot...... Xia Mingwei frowned, "Combined? ”

"It's what it means to have a child, and it's worthy of Robert, who actually asked the lady to say this kind of thing." Rin Kiyotake scribbled with a pencil expressionlessly.

Xia Mingwei gasped and said in disbelief: "The people of the church want us to mate and give birth to more powerful myth carriers? ”

"Yes," Rin Kiyotake finished drawing, and pointed the sketchbook towards Xia Mingwei with one hand, "but right...... Most of the time, this is the only thing that will be born. ”

Xia Mingwei moved his eyes and looked at her sketchbook, on which was painted a very graffiti:

A deformed baby with eight heads, all of which were covered with thick hair, with a pointed beak and shrunken cheeks, like eight monkey heads.

A baby with eight monkey heads? The mating product of "Yaki Orochi" and "Black Goku"? Just the imagination is creepy...... Diminway fully accepts that no.

"We are monsters, and the offspring we are born will be monsters too." Kiyotake Rin said softly.

"I know."

"Even if it weren't, he was born in this world in a normal manner," Kiyotake Rin put down his picture book and continued reading, "but his father is a monkey and his mother is a snake with eight heads...... Robert, do you think he'll be happy that way? ”

Her voice was indifferent, without a hint of emotion, like a cold Siberian wind.

"Rather than thinking about these," Xia Mingwei was silent for a moment, and said expressionlessly, "Combining with a strange woman is already a little too advanced for me. ”

"It seems that you have a normal three views, then I will be relieved." Qing Zhu Rin gently hooked the corners of her mouth, "So, what other questions do you have?" ”
