December 24, Tokyo, Japan, 5 p.m.

Isetan Shinjuku, one of Tokyo's most famous and largest department stores, offers everything from high-end fashion to jewelry.

"How does it look?" Xia Mingwei straightened his tie and looked up at himself in the mirror: his tall body, 1.82 meters tall, more than enough to wear this pure black suit, and just the right width of his shoulders to support his temperament, which looks a bit similar to Al Pacino in "The Godfather II".

He rarely wears a suit, the clothes he wears most often since he was a child is the school uniform, in addition to wearing a T-shirt in the summer and a sweater in the winter, he can only use the word "simple" to describe his past life, the income of the main coffee shop is not very high, and the owner has to work hard to support him.

"Do you want me to give a review?" Qing Zhu Rin couldn't say anything, "It's not impossible." ”

Xia Mingwei knew that this little witch was going to hurt herself again, so he interrupted her in time: "Qingzhu Rin, whenever you want to criticize anyone, you have to remember that not all people in this world have the superior conditions you have. ”

"You have learned to imitate my words, which is commendable." Qing Zhu Rin smiled and said that she had used this sentence to resist Xia Mingwei saying that she had no sense of humor.

"Is your name 'Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald'?" The name Shamingway said was the author of The Great Gatsby.

"Nope."

"When did quoting words from famous books become imitations of yours?" Xia Mingwei didn't look back, he stroked a piece of upturned hair in front of the mirror, and his delicate and cold facial features were very attractive.

"Don't talk back, the robot must be obedient."

"Okay." Xia Mingwei didn't bother to argue with her, "So, how do you feel about me wearing a suit, will it be very disobedient?" ”

Qingzhu Rin put his hand on his chin, looked at him with clear eyes, and said after a while: "Well, it fits well, it deserves to be my personal robot." ”

"When did I become your personal robot?"

"Or else?" Rin Kiyotake said lightly, "At least until you get your memories back." ”

"Please, which robot will play with the golden hoop stick."

"It's not bad to have a private little monkey too." Qingzhu Rin cupped his elbow, "However, don't talk too early, you have to wait until you advance, otherwise you will be tricked by the golden hoop stick." ”

"Don't curse me, okay?" Xia Mingwei said angrily, "I'm going to go into the basement to retreat later, what should I do if I am really broken by Black Wukong?" ”

"Did you pick it out?"

"I'm not following my master's advice, I'm just a private robot, don't ask too much of me."

"Then I agree, that's it." Rin Kiyotake smiled.

"Okay, I'll buy two suits of the same style." Shamingway came to the front desk, took out his mobile phone, and clicked on the 'paypay' app, which is used internationally, including in London and Tokyo.

After he finished paying, he put away his phone: "Do you need to buy clothes?" ”

"No, you don't."

"That's right." Shamingway lifted the bag of clothes.

In order to prepare for the inaugural cruise ceremony tomorrow, Rin Kiyotake has prepared a black dress, which she usually wears in public, and only wears a white dress at night when she is resting or alone. After nine days of getting along, Xia Mingwei already knew her dressing habits well, after all, she was someone who had to be in the same room every day.

The two walked out of the clothing store slowly, and there were often passers-by in the Isetan mall who looked at them, as if they were envious of the handsome man and woman, and many people would treat them as a couple at the first time.

"I'm just here with you," said Kiyotake, "and there's a store I often go to buy clothes, but it's relatively remote and far from here." ”

"Take me next time?"

"Only women's clothes are sold."

"Forget it then."

While the two were talking, Qingzhu Rin moved Qingli's face and looked at a bookstore in the mall, she opened her mouth slightly, and stopped talking.

Xia Mingwei glanced at her side face and said the unspoken words in her place: "You want to say, 'Although I want you to accompany me to visit the bookstore, you have something to do'." ”

Qingzhu Rin turned his head and met his gaze: "Really?" Now that your AI has evolved to read what the owner is thinking? ”

"Yes." Xia Mingwei took her stalk, "I just installed the 'Gatsby' brand chip and got the evolution." ”

"Heh, then test you, what am I thinking?"

"You're thinking," Xia Mingwei said without thinking, "I hope my private robot won't be eaten by that black monkey." ”

He knew that Qing Zhu Rin had said that the mythical carrier of the second order was the most fragile period of the spirit except for the fourth order, and it was very easy to be replaced in the process of the initial collision with the mythical will, and then it would lose control and self-destruct.

In particular, his mythological sequence is still Black Goku, which Kiyotake Rin said is a sequence that is a hundred times more difficult to control than the Yaqi Snake, and Black Goku's mythical will will be difficult to tame to a terrifying level.

"No," Kiyotake Rin shook her head, "What I'm thinking about is that we're going to go skiing in Hokkaido the day after tomorrow, and we'll be done with things today and tomorrow." ”

Xia Mingwei knew what she meant, thinking that he could overcome the level of Black Goku, "Okay, speaking of which, Hokkaido will be able to ski in December?" ”

"The ski resort opened in late December, and I haven't tried skiing yet." Qingzhu Rin paused, "It's the first time I've gone skiing with someone, so you're not allowed to make fun of me." ”

"Me too," Summerway shrugged, "to abide by the Gatsby principle, and not to make fun of each other, even if you fall like a penguin." ”

"Speaking of which, how many times has 'Gatsby' appeared in our conversation?"

"For the fifth time." After Xia Mingwei finished speaking, he suddenly held on to the parietal bone, and pretended to be surprised and said, "Wait...... I seem to have regained my memory. ”

"So suddenly?" Qingzhu Rin raised an eyebrow and turned to look at him.

Xia Mingwei was silent for a moment, and said seriously: "Actually, I am Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald. ”

"Okay...... Qingzhu Rin was stunned for a moment, and chuckled: "It turns out that your real identity is the great writer who wrote Gatsby, it seems that I don't need to take you around, my personal robot awakens the memories of my past life." ”

"So, you admit that you're quoting me?"

"Robert, it seems that you are not so humorless."

"Really? I thought my joke was pretty lame. ”

"At least it's an improvement over what it was before."

"But," Xia Mingwei shrugged, "whether or not I can recover my memory, please take me to do more shopping, I still think about skiing in Hokkaido." ”

"Of course, there's a lot more I want to take you to." Rin Kiyotake said.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the figures of the two disappeared away on the bustling long street, and gradually disappeared into the corner, like an ever-stretching vista in a movie.

.............

.............

At the same time, it was nine o'clock in the morning London time.

After Xia Mingwei obtained the key to the school park from Professor Fast, he and Ji Lang left the school park by train and went to the abandoned subway station in London.

The Mobius Loop only works when it comes, and it doesn't send the train into a looping world when it leaves the school, so it only takes five minutes for the train to reach the subway station.

Soon after, they took the high-speed train to the nearest London International Airport, where someone was waiting for him and Ji Lang at a specific platform, a handsome young man in a black shirt, with a Russian-like facial features, a tough silhouette, a straight nose, and a cold pride between his eyebrows.

"Hello, I'm a ukulele." He said, "Class C of the second year, you are the first freshman Xia Mingwei, I will take you to action this time." ”

Xia Mingwei nodded at him wordlessly, while Ji Lang played with his mobile phone and passed past the two of them expressionlessly. They boarded a private plane arranged by the school, and there was no one in the cabin except for three people, and with a cloud of planes in the sky, the Boeing 737 empty plane sailed towards Tokyo.

The flight from London to Tokyo takes about 13 hours, and when it arrives in Tokyo, it will be 6 a.m. local time on December 25.

The cruise ship would start at noon on December 25, so they had to race against the clock to get dressed and get a taxi to the port as soon as they arrived in Tokyo.

Ji Lang and Ukure sat in the first class, Xia Mingwei deliberately separated a cabin from the two of them, and came to the first class to rest, he wanted to be alone for a while, as for the reason is very simple: his mythological sequence - Black Wukong is about to rise to the second order, according to Qingzhu Rin, this will be the first time he faces the mythical will of the black Wukong, after which he has to test the ability of the second-order Black Wukong.

It is impossible for Xia Mingwei to be dual-minded at such a critical juncture, if something goes wrong and is swallowed up by the will of mythology, the consequences will be unimaginable.

He thought about it for a while, and just in case, he went to the lavatory of the plane and simply sat down against the wall.

Although the toilets of aviation planes are basically dirty, this is a plane dedicated to Olibel Academy, so it is relatively clean and almost spotless.

Xia Mingwei lightly touched the black Wukong coat of arms on the back of his hand, and the pitch-black light penetrated the gap in the bandage, transmitting a series of sequence information to Xia Mingwei.

[Source of the mythological sequence - "Black Wukong"]

[Mythical Sequence Class - "First Order"]

[Mythic Sequence Ability - "Clone Technique", "Hoop Spell"]

[Mythic Sequence Progress - It takes about sixty seconds to absorb the "Heaven and Earth Essence" before it is promoted to the second order. 】

[Mythic Sequence Preview - When promoted to the second tier, you will unlock new sequence abilities: "Somersault Cloud", "Golden Hoop Stick", and "Seventy-two Changes".] 】

"Actually, I seem to need fiery eyes and King Kong's indestructible body even more." Xia Mingwei held his chin, closed his eyes and concentrated, took a deep breath, and counted down the last sixty seconds in his heart.

He knew that if he lost control on the plane, the consequences would be unpredictable, and it was not surprising that it would lead directly to the crash: it was enough to smash a few hatches in the air with a golden hoop stick, but this time there was no Professor Fast, and if it wasn't for Xia Mingwei knowing that it was a test in the school park last time, he wouldn't dare to let Totoro mess around like that on the plane.

Despite the apprehension in his heart, Xia Mingwei knew that he could not escape, and this was a part of the problem that he had to face. No matter how difficult it was for the violent Monkey King to deal with, he would have to be with Black Goku for many years to come, and even for the rest of his life, and try to domesticate him from an enemy to a friend.

With deep breaths again and again, Xia Mingwei's consciousness gradually sank into the fantasy theater, and at the same time, the sixty-second countdown ended.

The Black Wukong Crest on the back of his hand gushed out a raging wave of light, and even the layers of bandages could not block the pitch-black light, almost enveloping Xia Mingwei's body.

Xia Mingwei's conscious body opened his eyes, and from the big screen in front of him to every red seat, the entire fantasy theater began to tremble violently, as if moaning.

My neighbor totoro rushed and shrank into Xia Mingwei's arms with a shudder, the kitten shivering fiercely, its dark blue pupils raised high, like a sharpened gem.

Xia Mingwei picked up Totoro, placed it on the seat next door, then stood up, turned his head to look at the source of the movement, only to see that the wall behind the movie theater suddenly cracked, and gradually emerged a scene of "prison cell", he looked at this scene in a daze, and a terrifying aura swept over.

He shifted his steps to the aisle between the seats on both sides, and slowly walked down the aisle to the end of the movie theater, looking at the thousands of chains stacked on the wall, through the gaps in the chains, you could see the scene inside, and the light of the big screen of the theater illuminated the dim cell.

Inside the cell, there was a figure with pitch-black shadows all over his body, sitting on the ground with one knee bent, holding a club in his left hand and his right hand resting on top of the bent knee. In the darkness, it slowly raised its head, and its scarlet eyes seemed to come from the abyss of hell, staring deeply into Xia Mingwei's face.
