Chapter 888
Chaori Xiqiu followed Meihua K, walked through the ornately decorated corridor, and arrived in front of a large lacquered red door.
The door was engraved with a golden crow pattern, which looked very cool. Asahi Yuki stared at the pattern on the door.
With this pattern carved in the middle, it looks fine when the door is closed, but once the door is opened, won't the crow be split in half?
I feel that this kind of decoration has a bad meaning, but this is someone else's house after all, so it's better not to make any comments. Chaori Xiqiu withdrew his gaze. Maybe this design actually has a different purpose.
The King of Clubs stood at the door. There seemed to be a camera or iris detector at the door. After a few seconds of verification, the door opened inwards.
...We're about to meet. Asahi Yuiaki hugged the backpack in her arms and stroked her own watermelon through the fabric. It was so big.
Although I am not ready to become relatives with the owner of the annex who is suspected to have a split personality, I have waited for so long, traveled through mountains and rivers, and caught a cold and fever to get here, so I am more or less looking forward to it.
As soon as he stepped through the gate, Chao Ri Xi Qiu could not wait to raise his eyes and look into the distance——
The lighting of the Huanghun Villa is very unique. It seems that in order to fit the architectural atmosphere of this building that resembles a last century castle, the windows inside are relatively small and squeezed together. They are covered with colored glass, casting dark light cut by the window edges.
Straight in front of him, Chao Ri Xi Qiu saw an old man wearing a similar half-mask as the person next to him sitting upright on a wooden chair.
Chaori Xiqiu: “?”
Why is he an old man?
Where is the watermelon???
He looked left and right, but couldn't see any melons in the room.
Chaori Xiqiu originally wanted to open his mouth to question and report the fraud, but on second thought, he held it in and decided to wait and see what happened.
Maybe the watermelons of wealthy families are more expensive, so they need a new mat when they are served.
So Chao Ri Xi Qiu didn't say anything. He just stood by and watched silently, holding his backpack.
The strange old man, with only the lower half of his face exposed, rested one hand on the armrest of the chair. He looked over and said in an electronic voice that had been changed by a machine: "You are five minutes late."
The King of Clubs took a few steps forward, put one hand behind his back, bowed and saluted elegantly: "BOSS."
"Give me the report." The old man on the wooden chair leaned back and spoke slowly. Next to him stood a man in black clothes and a mask, holding an electronic record in his hand.
K of Plum Blossoms knew that the person standing next to Karasuma Renya was the [Recordant], one of the loyal representatives of the Karasuma faction.
As early as his teens, when he could still remember, the [Recorder] explained the rules to the candidates and distributed the "Knights".
After so many years, the King of Clubs is not sure whether the [Recorder] in front of him is still the original one - because he (or she) has always covered his face, and like the BOSS, his voice is an electronic voice modified by a voice changer.
[Recordist] has good skills and can be considered as Karasuma Renya's personal bodyguard.
But the King of Clubs is not worried, after all, the [recorder] is just one person, and he has both knights on his side and trusted confidants waiting outside.
Hearing Karasuma Renya's request for a "report", the King of Clubs chuckled and replied, "A lot of things did happen in the organization during this period, but they have all been dealt with."
He spoke slowly, raising his sharp leopard-like light green eyes.
"I will not report this to you, lest you cause unnecessary trouble. Don't worry, Boss. Just continue to recuperate here. I will take care of the rest."
This is a beautiful statement, but the implicit intention to seize power has already been revealed.
Facing the King of Clubs' reply, the old man sitting on the wooden chair did not seem to be moved at all, and even the [recorder] next to him did not raise his head.
"It seems that you don't want to hand over the power as promised." The old man on the wooden chair breathed very calmly, as if he had expected it. He didn't say much, and the next topic fell on the only abrupt child with fox eyes at the scene, "Is this the next successor you are training?"
"Successor? Of course not." The King of Clubs rejected it outright. He would not leave such a hidden danger. As long as he had the strength, he would definitely hold on to the power tightly in his hands and would not consider finding a successor.
After rejecting Karasuma Renya's question, the King of Clubs raised his head slightly, curled the corners of his lips, and looked at the fox-eyed child. He said, "Come on, introduce yourself to the boss."
Asahi Yuki, who was holding a backpack, blinked. Eh, me?
Just now, when he heard the two of them talking, he felt that something was not right... Wait, is this really a blind date? He felt like he had strayed into some bloody drama about a wealthy family seizing power!
Why hasn't the destined watermelon appeared yet? There can't be any watermelon at all. Chaohi Xiqiu was suspicious.
In doubt, he looked at the old man sitting on the seat, then glanced at the young crow beside him, and then an idea popped up in his mind.
If this scene is related to blind dates... then use your brain. It is not the old man who really wants to go on a blind date, and the young man wearing a crow mask is acting weird at this time. Does he not want to find a mother for himself? ? ?
Chaori Xiqiu was shocked: the rich family really has a heavy taste for melodrama!
But no, he absolutely cannot accept an old man with few watermelons! What’s more, humans and watermelons are reproductively isolated! !
Seeing that everyone in the room was looking at him, Chao Ri Xi Qiu couldn't help but tighten his arms around the backpack and hold the round watermelon in his arms.
He paused, coughed, straightened his expression and said, "Uh, hello, I received a message from my mailbox, and I'm here to arrange a blind date for my Watermelon--I'm sorry, I have to make it clear in advance that I don't accept old men and young melons and melons in love."
As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly became quiet.
The [recorder] who was holding the electronic board and oblivious to what was happening outside the window also stopped writing and finally raised his head and looked over.
The King of Clubs looked blank at first, then slightly stunned and bewildered. He opened his mouth and tried to force an explanation: "...What, Knight? There is no need to continue using code words now. Everyone present is an insider, so just say it directly."
Asahi Yuqiu's face also showed the same surprise and bewilderment. He tilted his head and said, "Knight? Code language? Wait, haven't we always been honest with each other?"
Plum Blossom K looked back straight at the child holding the backpack. He looked into those eyes. In the dimly lit room, the deep golden pupils were still as bright and pure as a child's.
At this moment, the King of Clubs broke through the Dihua filter for the first time and noticed something was wrong.
"...You." The King of Clubs uttered a word, then took a breath before raising his voice to ask, "What do you mean? Knight!"
Wait, wait, what's going on here? It looks like someone I know has cheated me out of money. Asahi Yuki looked at him cautiously, racking his brains to think of where they had met before.
He thought about all the watermelon customers he had ever met and searched for others who might be involved.
Finally, while staring at the half crow mask, a pure black crow head finally emerged in Asahi Xiqiu's mind, and then he remembered someone in the mailbox.
"I remember now—" Chao Ri Xi Qiu couldn't help but shout out the first comment he made at that time, "It's you, sb!"
Club King: “?”
Then, Chao Ri Xi Qiu quickly added: "Of course I remember, you are the money-giving boy? The fortune-bringing cat? The responsible housekeeper?"
Seeing the face of the person next to him getting darker and gloomier, Chao Ri Xi Qiu quickly threw away all his previous guesses and blurted out: "Uh, I know, you are the father of an older man with a childlike face!"
Club K: “…”
The King of Clubs almost fell over due to holding his breath. He stared at Chao Ri Xi Qiu closely, trying to detect hidden mockery on his face.
Was it intentional? Was it intentional to say such nonsense to mess with his mentality? He could even call out a word like "Dad"... For some reason, the first word that came to the mind of the King of Clubs was "acknowledge a thief as your father".
Of course, he wasn't scolding himself! He was just speaking from the perspective of a knight.
From this perspective, the Knight's previous gentleness and submission were indeed fake. After so many years, the former Knight is still so good at acting, and there was not even a trace of flaw before this.
Plum Blossom K went around and put the Dihua filters back on his eyes. He snorted coldly and smiled coldly in his heart.
"You are very good at pretending, Knight." He raised his head slightly and said, "Yes, I did erase your memory, but you must have remembered it."
Chaori Xiqiu: “?”
What erases the memory?
He was stunned at first, and then he finally connected the past events.
——Damn it, it turns out that the amnesia at the beginning was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. He thought he was hit by a watermelon that didn't follow martial ethics and became stupid!
What a misunderstanding. It turns out that Watermelon hit himself to help himself recover his memory. He is really a good child of his own. It is touching.
At this point, Chaori Xiqiu looked at the young man wearing the crow mask and once again confirmed that he had a double personality. He asked sincerely, "You made me lose my memory and expected me to remember. What are you doing? Aren't you just sick?"
Doing something and then wishing it hadn't happened is crazy, really crazy!
The King of Clubs chuckled when he heard this, and his attention shifted elsewhere. He said, "From your tone, it seems that you still remember it."
Chaori Xiqiu was silent, with only one expression in his heart: No, buddy, I feel good about scolding you, right? .jpg
The expression of the King of Clubs gradually became cold and hard, like a piece of cold and hard ice.
As expected, the former knight did not cooperate with him at the last moment. Fortunately, he did not completely trust him from the beginning, and the former knight's childlike figure was not threatening. The King of Clubs thought.
Anyway, let's deal with the former knight later. Right now, the most important thing is Karasuma Renya.
The King of Clubs turned his gaze back to the old man sitting on the wooden chair in front of him, his right hand already grasping the gun that was most convenient to him - and outside the door was his trained and trusted confidant, just waiting for his order to come in and clean up the mess.
"Boss." The King of Clubs smiled perfectly again, as if the farce just now had never happened. "Do you want to continue to rest, or - should I let you continue to rest?"
"You are old enough, and it is time for you to retire. The people out there are all my trusted followers."
On the opposite side, the old man, who had heard these words that clearly showed his desire to seize power, still remained leaning against the back of his chair.
His hoarse electronic voice came through clearly: "You think you're ready, don't you?"
Hearing this, K of Clubs narrowed his eyes slightly, took off the safety of the gun alertly, and held it in his hand.
"Do you think you are the first to have this idea? No, of course not." The old man on the wooden chair laughed, "But none of you have ever investigated the whereabouts of the previous acting leader because you are all too confident in yourselves."
"Of course, this is normal." The old man on the wooden chair nodded slightly, "After all, the memories and personalities that were instilled into you when you were born were set up like that."
