Chapter 81

While Gin was busy holding secret joint meetings for several consecutive days and shattered the Red Team's three views without any effort, Asahi Yuaki was carrying his backpack containing Watermelon-kun and boarding the train to the Huanghun Annex in Tottori Prefecture.

Before leaving, Chaohi Xiqiu did not forget to reply to the strange email and inform the other party that he had set off.

However, the other party was very reserved and did not reply to him any more letters.

In fact, the sender of that email was Bermode.

After receiving several emails from Mr. K, Vermouth realized that the boss couldn't wait to meet the former knight.

Originally, Vermouth was planning to leave it all to Gin and enjoy life as he pleased.

But when she saw the emails pouring into her mailbox, she sighed and knew that she had to take some action.

But at least the follow-up has been thrown out. Bermode thought slowly. Informing Gin in advance can be considered as doing a favor... After all, Gin seems to care more about his former partner.

Vermouth was a very smart woman. She noticed something was wrong with Chao Ri Xi Qiu and combined it with some previous information. She put one hand on her lips and thought for a while, then she came up with the simplest and most effective way.

That is to send an email, an email related to watermelon.

As for more specific content... Vermouth recalled the last time he saw the former knight. The other party was dancing and laughing wildly in the dark, as if he had eaten ten kilograms of poisonous mushrooms.

She was silent for half a second, pondered for a moment, and very cleverly edited a short email that was consistent with the former knight's current mental state.

——It turned out that she was right.

Bermode looked at the reply from Qicheng in his mobile mailbox, a charming smile appeared on the corner of his lips, then he blocked and deleted the email, clearing away all mental pollution.

And the other side.

Asahi Yuqiu looked at the silent mailbox and tried to send another email.

The next second, a red exclamation mark popped up in my mailbox: [Email sending failed]

Failed to send? Chaori Xiqiu was a little surprised. He logged out and back in, shut down and restarted the computer, but after trying again, it still said [Failed to send the email].

It seems that there is something wrong with the email. Chaohi Xiqiu put one hand on his chin. Could it be that he was blocked? It's impossible, the parents of both parties haven't met yet! !

Asahi Yuaki denied the possibility of being blocked and attributed the failure of sending the email to a system failure.

I don't know if it's a partial failure or a complete failure... Otherwise, I'll try sending another email.

Thinking of this, Chaori Xiqiu opened his mobile email again and clicked on the pinned friend - the note was the email address of [Xigua Jilang].

Watermelon Jiro, naturally, refers to Gin.

Asahi Yuaki nicknamed his own watermelon shop owner Watermelon Taro, so the white-haired friend, as the second owner of the Honest Watermelon Shop, was honored with the title of Watermelon Jiro.

【TO Xiguajilang:

Hey, friend! I have good news for you. I'm going to Tottori Prefecture's Huanghun Annex to go on a blind date with Watermelon-kun. Is there any specialty you want? I can bring some for you. 】

After quickly editing, Chao Ri Xi Qiu pressed the send button and saw the small circle above rotate twice, and finally a check mark appeared indicating that the message was successfully sent.

Success! Asahi Yuqiu blinked. It seems that it failed to send out just now, it was a partial failure.

Forget it, there is no need to send any emails. We can just talk face to face when we meet offline.

The train arrived at the station. Chao Ri Xi Qiu stopped checking his email. He put away his cell phone, stood up and walked forward.

Huanghun Villa is located in a remote place in the deep forest. After hearing the location, the first few drivers shook their heads and gestured to indicate that they would not take us, leaving behind a cloud of exhaust fumes.

It was not until the last driver, who seemed to feel sorry for the big bread fox shivering in the cold wind, agreed to drive him there.

Chaohi Xiqiu was almost frozen to numbness. He got into the closed taxi and felt the hot wind blowing on his face. Only then did he feel that he was finally alive.

"Why do you want to go there?" The driver said casually while steering, "If you have nothing else to do, you'd better not go exploring in such a messy place."

"What a messy place?" Chao Ri Xi Qiu suddenly became angry.

A very important part of a blind date is family education, family tradition and family background. When hearing other people's comments on the other party, Chao Ri Xi Qiu naturally perked up and listened carefully.

"It's not that the place is messy. After all, the annex is a building that has stood for half a century. It looks very beautiful, magnificent and grand from a distance. It's just... this annex is very weird."

The driver lowered his voice, just like everyone sharing a secret, creating a matching atmosphere.

"More than 40 years ago, the people who gathered in the Huanghun Villa inexplicably began to kill each other. In the end, everyone died. The ground was covered with blood, and it was never completely cleaned up."

"This was a tragic case that caused a sensation at the time. People in our area have spread the story by word of mouth and everyone knows about it now."

"After that, no matter which owner took over the annex, he would die mysteriously after a period of time. Therefore, no one dared to buy it, and the annex remained vacant... It is said that it was bought back by the original owner, the Karasuma family, but few people come here anymore."

"Some curious people came here to take risks before, and they all went crazy after returning. Many people have even heard screams coming from inside."

The driver lowered his voice further: "So we guess that this villa must be..."

Before the other party could finish, Chao Ri Xi Qiu nodded and continued, "Ah, I know, someone must be deliberately spreading horror stories in this annex and secretly manipulating the room prices!"

The driver then added: "...it must have been cursed."

Asahi Yuqiu: “.”

Driver: “.”

Two completely different sentences came out at the same time, leaving them both silent for a second.

Asahi Yuki's overly materialistic answer ruined the atmosphere the driver had created. A faint sense of awkwardness spread throughout the taxi.

The driver coughed, showing the calmness of a man of society, and was able to continue talking in a deep voice:

"Anyway, this building is pretty spooky. The people living around us don't even bother to get close to it... That's why no one is taking your order."

"I see you are still very young, young man. There are still many things worth discovering in life. There is no need to go to such a dangerous place." The driver kindly persuaded, "Why do you want to go to the Dusk Villa?"

"Ah, I-I didn't go there for adventure." Asahi Yuki shook her head, and then said, "I went there for a blind date."

Driver:?

A question mark popped up on the driver's forehead. He was a little stunned for a moment and obviously didn't react very well.

He subconsciously continued, "Blind date? You went to Huanghun Villa... for a blind date? You two went on a blind date in a place like that???"

What a unique blind date location - why would anyone go on a blind date in such a spooky, cursed place? !

"To be precise, I'm not going on a blind date." Chao Ri Xi Qiu blinked and answered seriously, "I'm going on a blind date for my child."

"Child?" The driver looked even more surprised. He turned his head and looked over. "At your age... you already have a child that big?"

That's not right! The person in front of me looks like he's only in his twenties or thirties, how could he be old enough for a blind date?

The driver paused, thinking that the young man in front of him was most likely joking with him.

I guess he didn't want to admit that he was going to take risks in such a place, so he made up an excuse, and it was such a lame excuse.

The driver shook his head slightly, then smiled slightly and said, "Hey, young man, give a more plausible reason next time. This one sounds too fake."

"It's not fake, it's the truth." Asahi Xiqiu felt a little aggrieved.

How come no one believes the truth these days! He is here to arrange a blind date for Haodaer Xiguajun.

"In that case, where is your child?" The driver asked with a bit of amusement, tilting his head, "Why isn't he with you?"

"How could that be? It's always here." Chaori Xiqiu patted the bag in her arms, "My child is in there."

Upon hearing this, the driver's eyes subconsciously fell on the bag.

It was not until this moment that he noticed the bag that Chao Ri Xi Qiu had been holding - it was an ordinary school bag, but it was particularly bulging, and it seemed that something dead was stuffed inside.

Combined with the words of sunrise, sunset and autumn being incomparably natural, the driver suddenly felt a chill down his spine and sweat broke out on his forehead.

Wait a moment.

Judging from its shape and size, this round and hard object...can't be, can't be - a human head!!!

It was already late in the evening, the last glimmer of light from the setting sun struggling to fade away.

The faint shadow of the sun finally swayed on the face of the fox-eyed young man, outlining the slightly upturned corners of his mouth. The lips that should have revealed a friendly smile, in the dim light, showed a certain weirdness.

"..." The driver's heart exploded with a sharp cry, and cold sweat began to break out all over his body.

Is it a ghost, a monster, or a murderer? What should we do? Who will save him?

Asahi Xiqiu noticed the driver's pale face, so he asked concernedly, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"I...I..." The driver almost revealed a smile that was uglier than crying.

But he was a middle-aged man who had experienced many ups and downs. He gritted his teeth and held on, trying to speak in a steady voice, "Hey, my friend, I suddenly remembered that my car needs gas."

"How about this? I'll drop you off here. The rest of the way is not far. How about you go up by yourself? Of course, I won't charge you any money!"

Chao Ri Xi Qiu paused: "No, no..."

How could he not pay? After all, the driver had driven him a long way. He had to pay for the ride.

But before he finished speaking, the driver's face turned even paler. Chao Ri Xi Qiu couldn't help but feel a little worried.

What's wrong? Are you sick?

It seems that the driver is unwilling to accept the money, but you can pay by other means.

Chaohi Xiqiu touched his schoolbag. Otherwise, he could just take out the watermelon and give it to the driver, and then look for another watermelon from the surrounding area.

So Chao Ri Xi Qiu nodded and said, "Okay. Looks like I can only give you this."

He reached for his backpack, ready to take out the watermelon stuffed inside.

In the silence, the sound of unzipping the backpack was particularly clear. Before Chao Ri Xi Qiu could take out Xigua Jun, the driver screamed and the whole car braked suddenly!

Chaori Xiqiu almost hit his head on the glass, but fortunately he was quick enough to grab the handle.

He was about to look up to ask what happened when he saw the driver yelling, opening the car door and running away, stumbling as if a ghost was chasing him.

Chaori Xiqiu: “?”

He instinctively called out to the other person, "Wait! I'll give you the big one I carefully selected. It's delicious and guaranteed to be cooked and sweet!"

As a result, the driver stumbled and ran even faster...

Chaori Xiqiu looked at the driver in confusion as he ran away. He was the only one sitting in the passenger seat and the car was empty.

Chaori Xiqiu: "..."

What should I do if the driver dies halfway up the mountain? Blame it on the people behind the Huanghun Villa telling ghost stories! QWQ

All right. Chaori Xiqiu pushed the door open and got out of the car, carrying her bag. She had to walk the rest of the way by herself.

He looked forward and could vaguely see a corner of the castle annex in the night not far away through the jungle.

Chaori Xiqiu looked at it angrily, and strongly condemned the evil behavior of suppressing house prices by creating psychological shadows for others.

Well, now it seems that Xiguajun’s blind date partner is not a good person...or rather, his father-in-law is not a good person.

But now that I'm here, I might as well go.

He wanted to go and see what kind of person that guy was.
