Chapter 403: Open Surveillance
The night passed quietly.
When the sky began to light up faintly and the night was about to be driven away, the girl who had been lying on the bed in the bedroom all night finally woke up.
“I, what am I…?”
Looking at the ceiling that was similar to her own room and the unfamiliar bed and bedroom, Akane Nagisa, who was originally a little sleepy and fuzzy, suddenly stood up and became completely awake.
"Where is this place? Why am I sleeping here? Eh? Huh? What happened...?!"
Nagisa Akatsuki subconsciously grabbed the quilt tightly, looking so panicked that she was incoherent.
Before Nagisa Akatsuki could start to have some shameful associations, a familiar voice reached her ears.
"You finally woke up."
Aize was sitting cross-legged next to the bed, leaning against the wall, as if he had been there all night. He was stretching and talking to Nagisa Akane.
"Ai, Ai-kun?" Nagisa Xiao tightened her grip on the quilt, still a little panicked, and spoke incoherently: "Why are you here? Why are we in the same room? Is this a prank? There should be someone else hiding here... holding a sign that the prank was successful, right?!"
Obviously, waking up in an unfamiliar room and bed with a man of the same age next to her was quite stimulating for a little girl who had not even graduated from junior high school.
"What?" Aize looked at the panicked Nagisa Akatsuki, blinked his eyes, and said, "Have you forgotten what happened last night?"
"Yesterday?" Nagisa Akane couldn't help but swallow, her mind going blank.
This statement... Did something really terrible happen last night?
Moreover, it was with the neighbor brother who I just met not long ago?
That kind of thing...don't do it!
With tears in her eyes, Nagisa Akatsuki began racking her brains, trying to recall what happened last night.
I remember that after the club activities ended, it was too late to cook, but Aize invited me to a family restaurant near the school to have dinner there.
After leaving the family restaurant, the two walked towards home, chatting, but met halfway...
"The demon clan..."
Nagisa Akatsuki finally remembered this, and her panicked face began to turn pale.
"It seems you have remembered it." Aize had been watching Nagisa's expression. When he saw her face turn pale, he immediately said, "Yes, we encountered the bad demons on the way home and they picked a fight with us."
Perhaps recalling the scene at that time, Nagisa Akatsuki's body inevitably trembled slightly.
"Then what about me...?"
Nagisa Akatsuki spoke with a very unhappy expression.
“I see.” Aize finally understood what happened and said, “You don’t remember anything after that, right?”
Nagisa Akatsuki nodded slightly with a pale face.
She really doesn't remember what happened after that.
Seeing this, Aize's eyes flashed slightly.
Logically, he should have kept what happened at that time a secret so as not to trigger Akatsuki Nagisa's lost memories.
But this statement is only a temporary solution and does not address the root cause.
So, Aize decided to reveal part of the truth.
"Nagisa, you are not an ordinary person, right?" Aize said, "Although you may not remember it, you did something extraordinary at that time, right?"
"Huh?" Nagisa Akatsuki was stunned and asked in bewilderment, "Me? Did something incredible?"
"That's right." Aize nodded and said, "At the beginning, you were afraid of the approach of the two bad demons, but suddenly, you seemed to have changed into a different person. You burst out with amazing strength and scared the two bad demons away."
Aize's words not only stunned Nagisa, but also made her dumbfounded.
"I scared those two demons away?" Nagisa Akatsuki quickly shook her head and said in disbelief, "No way, no way, how could such a thing happen?"
"It's true." Ai Ze looked into Nagisa's eyes, as if to add strength to his words, and said, "I witnessed that scene with my own eyes, and I also saw how you looked at that time."
"You were like you were possessed by something at that time. You were completely different from yourself."
After hearing what Aize said, Nagisa Akatsuki suddenly fell silent.
"Possessed..."
The girl muttered to herself with a complicated expression.
"Could it be..."
As for the matter of the Fourth True Ancestor, Akatsuki Nagisa had indeed completely forgotten everything.
However, Akatsuki Nagisa did not forget things that were irrelevant to the Fourth True Ancestor, or things that were relevant but unimportant and unnecessary.
For example, she used to be a hybrid who not only possessed extremely excellent psychic qualities, but also had the ability to see through the past.
She remembered that she had helped her grandmother and father with their work for a period of time. She also remembered that she often used her clairvoyance and psychic abilities to determine the location of buried relics. She remembered that she had deciphered ancient inscriptions that were impossible to decipher. She also remembered that she had been commissioned by universities or specialized institutions to do many voluntary archaeological activities.
Even though she had forgotten what happened on Gozo Island, she still remembered the work she had done before.
Therefore, Akatsuki Nagisa still knew that she was originally a shrine maiden with extremely excellent qualifications, possessing powerful clairvoyance and excellent psychic qualities, so she could fully display divine possession and was an excellent spiritual vessel.
Aize's words immediately made Nagisa Akatsuki think that she might have briefly regained her lost abilities at that time and was possessed by some existence.
Therefore, in Aize's view, he has become a different person and has burst out with amazing power that he did not have before.
"Then, I didn't do anything else at that time, right?" Nagisa Akane asked with some concern and fear: "I shouldn't have done anything excessive, right?"
For some reason, Nagisa Akatsuki was particularly afraid of this.
It was as if she had once been possessed by some terrifying being and had done something that frightened her.
Fortunately, Aize shook his head.
"Nothing too extreme. After all, I was there at the time and I just happened to stop you."
Aize said this, causing Akatsuki Nagisa to be stunned again.
"Aijun, you stopped me?"
The girl looked incredulous.
Looking at Nagisa Akatsuki like this, Aize smiled.
"Come to think of it, I haven't told you my true identity yet, Nagisa?"
As he spoke, Aize took out a piece of ID from his pocket.
"This is my Demon Attack Officer Qualification Certificate." Aize handed the certificate to Nagisa Akatsuki and said, "I am a special agent of the Lion King Agency and an active national demon attack officer."
Hearing this, Nagisa Akatsuki's eyes widened.
"Is Ai-kun a demon-hunting officer?" Nagisa Akatsuki exclaimed, "A spy from the Lion King Agency?"
"Yes." Aize nodded and said, "The Lion King Agency is a special agency established in the National Public Security Commission. It is dedicated to preventing large-scale magical disasters and terrorist attacks, and to collecting intelligence and espionage. It can be traced back to the Takiguchi warriors who protected the palace from vengeful spirits and monsters during the Heian period. It is an older organization than the current government."
"I am a recent magician who graduated from a facility that specializes in training people in this field this year. After graduation, I obtained the qualification of a formal magician officer."
"The reason why I came to this Genshin Island is because I accepted the organization's assignment. From now on, I will be responsible for staying here on Genshin Island and specifically handling matters related to Genshin Island."
Aize put away his qualification certificate, smiled at Nagisa Akane and said something.
"So, don't look at me like this, I'm actually pretty strong. Luckily I was by your side last night, otherwise I really don't know what you would have done in that state."
Although Aize's self-exposure surprised Nagisa Akatsuki, she soon realized and accepted it.
The National Demon Attack Officer, a fresh graduate demon attack master affiliated with the secret service agency, it was certainly surprising that his neighbor and senior had such an identity and background, but Akatsuki Nagisa herself was not an ordinary person, and there were National Demon Attack Officers like Nangong Nayue stationed in Saikai Academy, so it was not so surprising that it was unbelievable.
"So that's why Ai-kun transferred here?" Nagisa Akane quickly accepted the fact and said gratefully, "Luckily Ai-kun was here last night, otherwise Nagisa might have made a big mistake."
"Thank you for stopping me, Ai-kun."
Nagisa Akatsuki thanked him sincerely, but Aize waved his hand nonchalantly.
"I was originally a special agent responsible for preventing magical disasters and terrorist attacks. If I hadn't stopped you at that time, you would have likely committed a magical disaster or terrorist attack, so it was inevitable that I would have taken action."
Aize said this first, and then changed the subject.
"But you, Nagisa, you actually have such a dangerous ability, it's really unreliable."
Akatsuki Nagisa immediately revealed a wry smile and a distressed expression.
"I haven't used that ability for a long time. I lost it four years ago. I didn't expect it to come back suddenly. I was at a loss as to what to do."
Akatsuki Nagisa's expression was confused, a little lost, and her face had a complicated look.
"Can you still use that ability now?"
Aize asked tentatively.
"No, I can't." Nagisa Akatsuki shook her head and said, "If you hadn't mentioned it to me, I wouldn't have known that I could still use that ability until now."
"This is a bit troublesome." Aize said leisurely: "It seems that your situation is a bit complicated."
"How about this, you will act with me for the next period of time."
"I will watch you and see how I can solve this problem. If you lose control again, I will be able to stop you in time to avoid something irreversible."
Hearing this, Nagisa Akane was a little hesitant, but considering that she might do something irreversible without knowing it, she agreed with Aize's decision.
Thus, Aize went from being in the dark to being in the light, becoming an open monitor following Nagisa Akatsuki.
