Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Zai: I feel like I'm selling my body. ...

43

"Didn't Chuuya-kun say that the news reported on the fog covering Moribo Street? But there hasn't been any such news in the past few days."

Gojo Satoru looked at the anchor curiously, touching it here and there, and exclaimed, "This is a device made of elemental power... It feels like it's from another world!"

Xia Yujie chuckled and said, "I remember that the huge pit called Leibo Street was named not long ago. The houses inside are not as crowded as they appear in the fog."

"The Leibo Street we saw seemed to be in the future."

Dazai nodded and added, "There's another possibility, not necessarily in the future, but in another parallel world."

Geto Suguru frowned, a little surprised to hear the statement about the parallel world.

"That's quite interesting."

He looked at Dazai Osamu thoughtfully, and smiled faintly when he met those bottomless iris-colored eyes.

Dazai Osamu didn't mind Geto's scrutiny and turned to Li Xiaoqi and said, "So, do you understand?"

Li Xiaoqi suddenly realized and said admiringly, "You guys are amazing! You noticed something was wrong so quickly."

Suddenly, she lowered her head in frustration.

Gojo Satoru raised the corner of his lips and patted Li Xiaoqi's head. "It seems that Miss Nana is well protected. Are the companions you met in Teyvat very good?"

Li Xiaoqi pursed his lips slightly, thinking of the character he had painstakingly cultivated in the game, and nodded with a smile.

“Everyone is amazing.”

Gojo Satoru narrowed his eyes, carefully observing Li Xiaoqi's expression, and opened his lips to say something, but was stopped by Geto Suguru.

"Jay."

Geto Xia Yu shook his head slightly, "Forget it."

Li Xiaoqi looked over in confusion, and when he met Xia Youjie's trusting gaze, he smiled embarrassedly.

"But since this appears here, it means it's the same world as ours."

Dazai Osamu patted the anchor and spoke.

Li Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered the illuminated map. "Oh, right, brother is really smart."

She clapped her hands, trying to avoid Gojo Satoru's topic.

Fortunately, none of them continued to ask questions, thanks to Geto Suguru's thoughtful intervention.

Dazai Osamu searched here for a while and only suggested leaving after not finding any unusual places or mechanisms.

The four of them stood in front of the exit emitting a faint green light and stepped out one after another.

*

A dazzling white light emerged, and the figures of Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru disappeared, while Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu were distracted and appeared on a deserted street.

There are few lights from the surrounding tall buildings, and the night sky is dotted with stars.

"It's already late at night..."

Li Xiaoqi sighed.

Dazai Osamu raised his head and looked at the crescent moon in the night sky. "Of course, we stayed in this 'copy' of Leibo Street for several hours."

"CG purchase period ends. 'Magical Girl Wars' sales surpass 'Fallen Angel's Disguise'. The streamer receives 4500 gold coins."

"Currently, the two streamers hold 11,210 gold coins."

Hearing this amount, Li Xiaoqi's eyes sparkled and he said happily, "Great! We'll have our own personal stash from now on!"

Dazai Osamu chuckled and nodded, "Yes, you can have 7 ten-draws. The next time you encounter danger and have to draw a card, your life will be more protected."

Li Xiaoqi nodded repeatedly, his eyes curved with smile, his brows filled with joy.

Dazai Osamu was silent for a few seconds and then complained.

"I feel like I'm selling my body..."

【Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! 】

Selling one's body—that's too much.

[At most, it is selling art, not selling body]

I bought it! Looking forward to receiving the card!

[Magical Girls Battle, I call it the best picture in the fandom, not to mention that the people in this picture are real people!]

Qiqi's wife is so pretty, when will the system release Qiqi's solo CG?

【agree】

[It’s a pity that I can’t take screenshots. The interaction between Xiaoqi and Jie is so cute, and so is the one with Zai. I don’t know which one to follow.]

【Qiqi, take it all (dog head)】

It is now two o'clock in the morning, and the number of people in the live broadcast room has increased instead of decreased, and no one seems willing to leave.

At this moment, the administrator June issued a reminder that the live broadcast was about to end, and the audience then said good night to Dazai Osamu and Li Xiaoqi.

Seeing that there were no pedestrians around, Li Xiaoqi waved at the live broadcast interface under the bright street lights, "Thank you all for your love, and you have worked hard. Good night~"

【Good night on Qiqi! 】

【Good night, good night~】

The number of people in the live broadcast room began to decrease, the live broadcast interface suddenly turned black, and the live broadcast finally ended.

"It seems our Xiao Qi has fans too."

Dazai Osamu sighed when he saw the comments praising Li Xiaoqi.

Li Xiaoqi crossed his arms and playfully stuck out his tongue.

"Why, only you are allowed to have it?"

Dazai Osamu curled his lips and said reluctantly: "I don't want Xiao Qi to be seen by too many people."

Li Xiaoqi was stunned, blinked, and took a step back vigilantly.

"What do you want to do?"

Dazai Osamu spread his hands and laughed, "Just kidding~"

Li Xiaoqi: "...get out."

"No."

Dazai Osamu came over and rubbed Li Xiaoqi's shoulder with his arm.

Li Xiaoqi sighed softly and pushed him away, "You're acting like a spoiled child. Let's go back."

"The live broadcast room gift statistics have ended. New gifts are: Slippery Yo-Yo Summon Slippery Dragon Set x1, Four Souls Jade·Fake x1, Bottle containing someone's soul x1, Echizen Ryoma's racket x1, Atobe Keigo's racket x1, Conan's Bow Transformer x2, Magical Girl Transformer x3, Poké Ball x10, Radish x66, Zetsuyun Pepper x156."

When the administrator June read out the gifts, Li Xiaoqi's expression became more and more strange.

"Uh, I feel like this gift... has more and more flaws."

Dazai Osamu blinked and asked curiously, "Slippery...what...it doesn't feel like a good thing. What is the Four Souls Jade? A bottle containing someone's soul, hahahaha——"

"Also, who are Echizen Ryoma and Atobe Keigo? Their rackets are really powerful? Pokéballs? And Conan's stuff again... These are all things I've never heard of."

His face froze, "Another magical girl transformation device..."

Li Xiaoqi patted his shoulder and murmured, "Anyway, the system should give instructions when it's needed. Why do I keep seeing items from Gintama?"

"kin tama?"

Dazai Osamu hesitated to speak and lowered his head silently.

Li Xiaoqi followed his gaze and twitched his lips. "It's gin tama. Not the one between your legs!"

Osamu Dazai: "..."

Li Xiaoqi held his forehead and said, "Anyway, most of the gifts in the live broadcast room are things that appeared in anime I've watched before. I don't know what strange effects they have under the blessing of the system."

Dazai Osamu was stunned and suddenly laughed out loud.

He frowned, and the gloom in his eyes faded a lot at this moment.

"If one day we are identified as perverts, the system will be to blame."

There was a smile in Dazai Osamu's words, echoing in the quiet street.

Li Xiaoqi looked up at the smile on Dazai Osamu's face and couldn't help but laugh too.

"Really, please spare us."

"Today was truly... a unique experience. I haven't laughed like that in a long time."

Dazai Osamu recalled the scene of 'Magical Girls' War', and the smile on his lips deepened.

Li Xiaoqi noticed the relief in his brows, and with a gentle expression, she murmured, "It's pretty good, isn't it?"

After a while, the laughter stopped.

Dazai Osamu lowered his eyes, and Li Xiaoqi's smiling eyes were reflected in his eyes.

"Xiao Qi, come with me to a place."

"OK."

*

Li Xiaoqi followed Dazai Osamu and walked on the street for about ten minutes. They left the bustling neighborhood, entered a commercial street, and stopped in front of a store after turning the corner.

The shop door was closed and there was a piece of paper saying "Closed".

She looked left and right but couldn't see anything special.

The shops next to it were closed. On the left was a car repair shop, and on the right was a bookstore.

The shop in front of me didn't even have a sign, so I had no idea what it was doing before.

What a strange combination.

Dazai Osamu raised his hand and knocked on the shop door three times. The first two knocks were quick, and he waited for a while before knocking on the last one.

Li Xiaoqi showed a curious look, wondering if this was the legendary place where the Mafia collected intelligence?

Suddenly, the door of the shop opened from the inside and a man came out.

Li Xiaoqi was frightened by the sudden sound of the door opening, because there was no sound of footsteps just now.

A woman wearing a black mask and a scar on her left eye came out. Her age was unknown and she was wearing a black sweatshirt dress with a hood.

"Come in."

The woman made a hoarse sound.

Li Xiaoqi turned to look at Dazai Osamu, "Where is this place?"

Dazai Osamu curled the corners of his lips, took Li Xiaoqi's hand and walked inside.

Seeing the confusion on her face, he said, "This is not the place you came with me to. It's just a temporary stopover."

Li Xiaoqi stared at the two people's clasped hands and nodded slightly.

Dazai Osamu wrapped his slender hands around her, and out of some unknown reason, he squeezed her palm lightly.

Li Xiaoqi remembered that this action happened more than once.

In front of me is a narrow corridor with black Western lamps on both sides, and a faint fragrance wafts from it.

The woman in black followed behind him slowly, without making any sound.

Li Xiaoqi looked back nervously, met the woman's cold eyes, and nervously looked away.

She didn't know where Dazai Osamu was going to take her, but she didn't feel afraid.

"This is an underground disguise parlor, a place specifically designed to provide convenience for those who need to disguise themselves. The proprietress's skills are superb. She can completely disguise a person into someone else."

"The boss lady is not good at talking. However, she was once an excellent assassin with a good professional ethics. So as long as you pay her enough, there is no need to worry about information leaks."

“Even now, it has been open for a while and has gained a reputation in the industry.”

Dazai Osamu began to explain, his voice rising one after another.

Li Xiaoqi suddenly realized and nodded awkwardly.

So, what was the purpose of bringing her here?

There was only one room at the end of the corridor. Dazai Osamu opened the door and brought Li Xiaoqi in.

What came into view was a strangely decorated room. A large rectangular mirror reflected the figures of two people, and a woman in black stood behind them.

There is a long table in front of the mirror. In addition to the familiar makeup brushes and makeup tools, there are all kinds of tools that Li Xiaoqi has never seen before.

There is a black curtain on the right wall, which seems to be blocking something.

Li Xiaoqi rubbed his fingertips nervously and looked at Dazai Osamu in confusion again.

Dazai Osamu smiled and pressed Li Xiaoqi down on the seat. He turned around and said to the woman in black, "Miss Qingchuan, please change her into something nice. No need for disguise, just make her look pretty."

Li Xiaoqi: "...Ah?"

The woman in black blinked slowly, her eyes wide open.

Li Xiaoqi subtly read the meaning from her eyes.

That’s it?!

Bringing her here to complete an assassination or espionage mission without makeup, yet she treats this place like one of those makeup shops out there?!

Li Xiaoqi silently raised his head and met Dazai Osamu's eyes.

"you……"

Dazai Osamu was puzzled: "Is there a problem?"

Li Xiaoqi raised his hand to his forehead and complained, "No, isn't this a bit too much trouble? I'm not a mafia, I can just go to a makeup store... and what do you want to do?"

Suddenly, the woman in black walked over to the black cloth and pulled it aside. Inside was a wide variety of clothes, too numerous to count. There were formal dresses, night clothes, military and police uniforms, and even everyday clothes...

Then, Li Xiaoqi shut up.
