Chapter 29 wonder: Actually, my side job is an astrologer.
After the hint of "knife" appeared, the members of the Squid Detective Agency began to look for information. In addition to familiarizing themselves with the specific situations of the teams in other city circles, they began to look for clues about swords in a very serious manner through various archaeological scrolls on demonology. They had read the translated and commented versions of the "Dead Sea Scrolls" countless times.
While everyone was anxiously looking for clues to the mission location, Bai Ye was the only one who felt relatively relaxed.
After all, he already knew that in the game plot that the t173 system allowed him to see in the form of a text game, the first game would be held on Yedao.
A famous island city with cherry blossoms, shrines, and drum music.
With the continuous development of political economy and productivity and the intensification of conflicts between the inner and outer worlds, the cultural body of the outer world gradually formed an urban circle centered on huge cities. Scattered urban circles are spread all over the outer world, and Yedao is one of them.
Although he could not tell his new teammates the information given by t173, but in addition to thinking about what key points in the plot of "The Wicked City" need to be paid attention to, at least psychologically, he can live a little more easily these days.
After finishing his homework and quickly sorting out the basic information of some competitive large-scale urban circle demon game star players, Bai Ye pressed his aching forehead and thought so.
Unfortunately, t173 will never do as he wishes.
[The plot anchor point has been detected. Next, please make a choice, dear host:]
[1. Sneaking into the Sun General Administration Building, appearing in front of the four leaders, and telling them: "The Law Enforcement Bureau is nothing more than this" and leaving a letter of warning to steal the Dead Sea Scrolls. 】
[2. Appeared in front of Detective Youyu and said: "Actually, my side job is an astrologer. I can see the future. Here's a piece of advice for you. Next time we meet, be careful of the fireworks. I'm looking forward to your performance when we meet again."]
[3. Rushed to Yedao Island to find Huo Gu and said to him: "If you are a disciple of the rebellious angel, you should practice more if you are new to it."]
[Prerequisite: Perform the above actions as wonder.] 】
Bai Ye's eyes went dark and he almost hit his head on the thick file: Damn it, the simulator has taken effect.
"What's wrong? Bai Ye?"
Linglan was attracted by the sudden noise coming from Baiye's side. After a few days of getting used to each other, she no longer felt a little awkward calling Baiye a new classmate, and could call out his name naturally.
Ever since Bai Ye came to Solomon Academy, she had never seen him behave so out of control.
"It's okay, it's okay..."
Bai Ye waved his hand weakly. You Yu on the side showed a thoughtful expression, obviously he didn't know what he was thinking about. Bai Ye suddenly had a bad premonition. The next second, the boy who was as bright as a sunflower came up to him with a smile and asked with a strong sense of pressure: "Are you feeling unwell?"
Bai Ye: "Uh... this..."
Linglan and Mizuiro both looked over: "What's wrong? Is Baiye-san in poor health?"
You Yu sighed: "In short, when I first met him in the alley, this guy was in a bad state of illness. To be honest, it should be quite serious."
Bai Ye looked at Shuise and Linglan who were surrounding him with worried eyes, and felt that he really couldn't control his body and fled the scene:...Don't talk nonsense, Erzi Haichan!
Things ended with Bai Ye being dragged to the school clinic by You Yu and Ling Lan for a preliminary examination, but the existence of the supermodel of T173 could not be detected by any medical means. Bai Ye eventually got routine anemia and was stuffed with several pieces of chocolate by the school doctor.
You Yu thought thoughtfully: "So you like desserts?"
Bai Ye: "...No, no matter how you look at it, it's about needing to eat, not liking to eat, right?"
Although he really has no resistance to sweets.
You Yu seemed to be very happy for him for some reason: "I said you looked weak, but since it's not a serious illness, I'm relieved. I'm not in a position to ask about your personal affairs, but at least the Squid Detective Agency will definitely take care of your sweets!"
Bai Ye was a little confused until he saw Linglan cooperate and take out the huge fork weapon, standing there with her hands on her hips.
"Well, after all, the cake queen is here, jiangjiang~"
Shuise looked speechless, but still cooperated with the two pretenders to put on a show. He shook his hands to show Bai Ye Youyu and Linglan who were posing and thought they were very handsome.
Bai Ye vaguely remembered that he had talked so much with them about the devil's game that he almost forgot that Linglan was an excellent dessert chef. She even won a prize in the city's inter-circle cooking competition and was called the "Queen of Cakes" by her fans.
Although the fork was mostly covered with the devil's blood, the label weapon is also a projection of the soul. Linglan is indeed a good cook. The membership gifts given to the live broadcast fan members were so delicious that they made several member fans cry.
but……
Bai Ye looked at the Squid Detective Agency in front of him who started to show off as soon as they had a disagreement. Even Shuise, who had the smallest movements, did not look forced.
Bai Ye: When I think about seeing this kind of scene every day... I feel like stopping being a fan again.
Classes at Solomon Academy ended early, just after dusk, and the sky had turned dark blue. The school bell rang at the same time as the teacher's heavenly voice of "get out of class dismissed", like a pardon for the high school students.
Bai Ye said goodbye to the three detective agency members who lived on campus and walked towards the subway station alone.
He mingled in the crowd, but did not enter the gate at the entrance of the subway station. Instead, he stayed in a blind spot of the crowd, watching the traces of several people from the Squid Detective Agency. He saw them turn around and go back to school. After he could no longer see their figures at the school gate, he sighed and walked out of the subway entrance.
The t173 mission was still reminding him on the panel, so he couldn't go back for the time being.
The black-haired boy skillfully pretended to be a student who forgot to bring his textbooks, walked back into Solomon Academy, and disappeared in the shadows of the crowd of students filing out, like a drop of water falling into the sea, impossible to find.
**
Solomon Academy, student dormitory.
Solomon Academy was invested and established by the Sun Law Enforcement Bureau. As the maintainer of the world order on the entire surface, it is naturally impossible to lack funds. The student dormitories also have independent bathrooms for four people. The decoration is exquisite and complete, almost the same as some universities.
Youyu's good luck played a huge role. Because of the number of students in the same grade, he was assigned to the same dormitory with Shuise. The four-person dormitory room was changed into a double room, which made it more convenient for Youyu to handle important matters and analyze cases in the middle of the night.
Shuise was going out to attend a performance tonight with his famous musician teacher Bruce. He returned to the dormitory to get his ID and left in a hurry. So the dormitory that was written as a four-person room but read as a double room was successfully turned into Youyu's single room.
The brown-haired boy still didn't take off his beret. You Yu stroked his chin and looked at the urban circle distribution map of the surface world. The traces of the black ballpoint pen crisscrossed back and forth on the notebook.
"If the clue is a knife... Combining all the information, demonology myths and the reaction of the demon apostles, there are only two possible venues for this game. Both are burial places of famous swords: Night Island or Innsmouth. Hiss... Both places are by the sea, and I don't know which one it is?"
You Yu muttered to himself while staring at the map intently, as if he could see the real scenes of each landmark on the map through the map.
"The detective is so serious."
A cool night breeze blew in through the window, and accompanied by a familiar male voice with a gorgeous voice, someone slowly opened the window from outside the building.
"Of course, it's necessary. After all, this is the [Reunion] season. If we determine the destination in advance, we can go there in advance and get more opportunities—"
You Yu nodded, agreeing with the other person's words. Halfway through the conversation, he suddenly realized that his dormitory was on the tenth floor, and the wind just now -
You Yu looked up suddenly, and saw the Phantom Thief wearing a hood like a starry night sitting lazily on the open windowsill, with one leg hanging down from the building dozens of meters high, leisurely tossing a black laser playing card in his hand.
The moonlight penetrated the clouds and shone on his body, like a layer of translucent silver gauze, making people doubt whether the person in front of them was really alive.
"wonder?!"
You Yu was speechless, and no one knew when the other party appeared. Wonder seemed as confusing and unpredictable as the moonlight. But that surprise only lasted for a moment, and the young detective quickly calmed down, so at ease that it seemed as if he had already anticipated the appearance of Wonder.
"Why are you here?"
You Yu's expression became very serious. He looked like he would lock Wonder up in the night at any time. He couldn't hide his vigilance at all: "You dared to come to my door yourself? You really look down on me a little bit——"
However, Wonder didn't care about Youyu's threat at all. Instead, he jumped down from the windowsill and approached Youyu's desk as if thinking. After seeing the lines of handwriting written by the boy on the notes, his eyes were fixed on the last circled word "Yedao".
"I didn't expect you to guess so accurately. You are indeed a famous detective."
Wonder was generous with his praise. Youyu shook the handcuffs, and with a click, wonder glanced sideways and found that Youyu had deftly handcuffed his wrists and the thief's wrists together at some point.
The innocent boy smiled innocently: "Even though you praised me, I still can't let you go, Wonder. Go to the Sun Law Enforcement Bureau and explain your purpose!"
"Don't be so nervous. I'm here for a serious matter."
Contrary to Youyu's expectation, when Wonder saw the handcuffs, he was just slightly stunned, and then he showed a helpless smile that could almost be called doting: "Detective, I'm not only a thief, but also an astrologer. I can occasionally see some future scenes. Just now, I was observing the night sky to prepare for the next art performance, and suddenly I found something interesting--"
The phantom thief covered in bright blue starlight took the initiative and gently pulled the handcuffs. The boy in front of him fell forward uncontrollably. The phantom thief's slender fingers surrounded by black gloves gently touched his forehead. You Yu was frozen in place by the phantom thief's suddenly enlarged face, and he didn't react to the slightly cool touch on his forehead.
Obviously, detectives should be the most cautious and careful ones, but You Yu, who has witnessed countless demon apostles, did not sense any murderous intent from the other party.
He wanted to think, but the image of Wonder pointing a gun at him without hesitation during the live broadcast on the Neon Heart Building in Shuise appeared before his eyes, cutting off all his thoughts.
Wonder's uncovered mouth corners raised into a wanton and crazy smile.
"Dear Detective, since you've been chasing me, I'll give your future self a hint."
"In the first game, watch out for the fireworks. I'm looking forward to your performance."
"Astrologer? Is this your soul tag? Is this why you know what the Ten Commandments are that only the top brass of the Sun Law Enforcement Bureau know?!"
You Yu reacted quickly and asked calmly, but saw that the thief just waved his hand that was handcuffed gently as a goodbye. The next second, Wonder's figure dispersed in front of You Yu as countless black laser playing cards, and blew out of the window with the night wind. The thief's trace could no longer be found. You Yu frowned, squatted down and picked up the only playing card left in the room. The black sun and inverted cross star symbols on it were shining.
He said that a being like the Phantom Thief would definitely arrange all of his props with special meanings, such as the inverted cross star... It seems that the identity of the astrologer mentioned by the other party may not be false.
But is there really such a soul tag that can see the future? Even if there really was one, why did Wonder choose to remind him of this enemy?
It was rare for You Yu to personally understand Shuise's mood at that time. His thoughts had never been so confused until the phone alert rang, interrupting his chaotic thoughts.
The boy took out his cell phone, and on the screen that lit up automatically, a message from the Railway Bureau was the most obvious.

Under the moonlight, above the starry sky.
An unknown land that is farther away than space and more mysterious than time is silent and peaceful in the deep sea of clouds. In the translucent illusory temple suspended above the sea of clouds, the huge wheel of destiny is buried deep in the clouds, spinning silently and silently.
Someone plucked the thread of fate that stretched in front of the temple. The golden thread trembled in the sea of clouds, transmitting bursts of golden light.
At the moment when the red and blue pixel panel appeared, the invisible face of the people who had not arrived showed a sincere smile.
The pixel panel typed out words one by one, containing a terrifying amount of information.
