Chapter 31: Life-saving Grace
Suzuki Sonoko was on a video call with her uncle.
The camera in her room was fixed in the perfect place, but Jiro Suzuki was currently exploring south of the Antarctic line, and the equipment was somewhat limited, resulting in an extreme imbalance in the visual angle.
When Yuanzi answered the phone, all he saw was a big beard.
The big beard began to shake up and down, and the uncle's voice came with a crackling signal sound.
"What on earth was your father thinking?!"
The 72-year-old man roared indignantly: "Has he become crazy from making money? How could he find a kid who hasn't even graduated from middle school to go on a blind date with you?"
Before Suzuki Sonoko could nod in agreement, Suzuki Jirokichi on the other end of the line continued yelling, "Look at you, this is a lifelong event that will determine the rest of your life. Your parents didn't think twice before choosing someone, so don't you think twice yourself?!"
Yuanzi muttered, "I don't want to do this either. I just do what you tell me to do..."
When she retorted, her uncle became even angrier: "If you really listened to me, you should have gone to meet him during the Yulan Festival last year. What about that child from the Feng family?"
"I'm telling you," he lectured with full force, "If you really want to get married quickly, you should deal with that middle school kid first. I think the Ghost Festival is almost here, so when you go to pay your respects this time, you should have a good talk with Ling!"
Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi brazenly declared, "The people I choose are always more reliable than your parents!"
Sonoko uttered an unabashed "tsk" and curled her lips, "When did you become reliable... The only person you actually chose was Reisi Munakata, and he ran away for no apparent reason, without even an explanation..."
The uncle, who had no idea what royal authority was, was speechless for a moment.
The next second, he saw a familiar figure from the corner of the camera.
Reiji Munakata stood by the door, bowed slightly to the face on the projection that was magnified and distorted, and nodded calmly as a greeting.
Suzuki Jirokichi was stunned by his bow, then his eyes widened, and he laughed happily as if he had won an argument. He made a face at Sonoko who didn't know what he was doing in a domineering manner, and cut off the communication with a "click".
Miss Suzuki Sonoko was perceptive for once and subconsciously looked back.
Then she froze.
Unfair...
Suzuki Sonoko looked at the figure at the door in disbelief, and her eyes drooped involuntarily due to aggrievedness.
Reiji Munakata—how come he's getting more and more handsome?!
For a moment, the air flow in the room subtly stopped.
When Munakata officially stepped into the bedroom, he closed the door which was half open before he came in.
Under Suzuki Sonoko's horrified gaze, he calmly took out a pair of soft fur slippers from the cabinet by the door.
The leader of the Blue Clan walked along the order of the shoe cabinet, shelf and storage table, changed his shoes, took off his coat and unlocked the key. Then he stood in front of the standing mirror in front of the cloakroom door, calmly loosened the scarf around his neck, slowly rolled up the sleeves of his shirt to his elbows, and finally rubbed his neck freely, took off his glasses and placed them on the table at hand.
After walking less than five meters, the well-dressed King of Green turned into an ordinary office worker returning home from get off work.
Munakata stood in the middle of the room and looked around. Under Suzuki Sonoko's increasingly wary gaze, he walked over to the sofa chair beside the bed and sat down.
The handsome young man leaned leisurely against the high-backed chair, his sleeves half rolled up to reveal his well-toned arms, his eyes closed with a relaxed expression, his dark blue hair gently draped over his nose. His skin was naturally fair, and the sunlight shining directly through the floor-to-ceiling windows sprinkled on it, making him instantly look like a frozen oil painting.
Suzuki Sonoko sat cross-legged on the bed and suddenly gasped.
It’s so scary…
She quietly stepped back into the bed, subconsciously covering her chest, and was so nervous that even her toes, which were stepping on the sheets, curled up unconsciously.
"I'm telling you..."
The girl's voice ended with a trembling sound. Suzuki Sonoko pinched the clothes on her chest, and with great difficulty mustered up the courage to warn him righteously: "Don't try to seduce me with your beauty! I won't give in!"
wrong.
Yuanzi used great determination to cover her eyes, but still left two slits as if reluctantly, and asked cautiously and tentatively: "What do you want from me?"
Reiji Munakata gently tapped his forehead with his hand and slowly opened his eyes.
The eyelashes trembled slightly, and the deep blue flickered, and in an instant it seemed as if the galaxy had turned upside down.
So pretty...
Suzuki Sonoko's breathing paused again, and her eyes unconsciously moved to his lips which seemed to be about to open and close.
Munakata blinked calmly and asked, "Who is that 'Zero'?"
Yuanzi was stunned by the question, and then said viciously: "Why should I tell you!?"
Munakata was obviously shocked by her unfriendly behavior, and even unconsciously revealed some pure confusion in his expression.
Suzuki Sonoko suddenly became even angrier.
"Don't you dare look at me like that!"
She slapped the pillow in front of her and muttered indignantly, "What do you mean by that look... It was obviously your fault in the beginning, why do you make it seem like I'm being unreasonable..."
The young man sitting in front of the window paused, looking more like he was wondering, "Isn't she being unreasonable?" But he didn't seem angry at all. He just stood up with the help of the armrest and stepped onto the bed in two steps.
From the time they vaguely confirmed their relationship with the words "You make delicious tea" to the time Reiji Munakata officially participated in activities as the representative of the Suzuki family, almost three months passed.
In other words, before he figured out how to prepare for the wedding, except for not changing his surname, Mr. Munakata Reiji had actually been the son-in-law of the Suzuki family for some time.
In other words, apart from the lack of specific procedures and clear-cut negative distance intimacy, these two people had actually been married for three months.
——To be honest, when Munakata was standing at the door of the cloakroom just now, he originally wanted to change his clothes, but he had no choice but to open the door a crack and take a look. He saw a row of children's clothes hanging inside for no apparent reason.
So when his wife got angry for no apparent reason, he naturally moved forward, and under Suzuki Sonoko's gaze, which was filled with both fear and resignation, he calmly held her in his arms.
The side of Yuanzi's face was pressed against his chest, with only a thin layer of cloth between her and his warm skin. Before she had time to consider whether to resist, her five senses were instantly filled with the cool fragrance of tea.
There's no need to resist now.
She was so disappointed that she watched her hands slowly wrap around the man's waist, and when Reiji Munakata gently rubbed his chin on the top of her head, she couldn't help but imagine how handsome he must look at that moment!
This is simply too much...
Yuanzi was sobbing and wanted to cry, but she couldn't control her urge to go back.
Having completely lost the ability to think independently, she seamlessly transitioned from [sitting cross-legged angrily] to [sitting bonelessly curled up in someone else's arms]. Leaning on Reiji Munakata's shoulder, she glanced at his jawline through the gap between his hair and neck, raising her eyes.
Then I couldn't help but start gritting my teeth.
——You people!
She thought bitterly: Isn't it just because I'm good-looking?!
What’s so great about that?!
The next second, Reiji Munakata pinched her wrist and rubbed the knuckle of her middle finger with his thumb.
The skin is white and soft, warm to the touch and without any scars.
The Green King, who hadn't felt any calluses, asked in confusion, "How long has it been since you last practiced calligraphy?"
Suzuki Sonoko could hardly bear to watch herself surrender at such a speed that her eyes were uncontrollably fixed on Munakata's face.
Well, you are indeed amazing.
But she still managed to hold on to her last bottom line with great difficulty.
"I don't have to write if I don't want to. Are you going to bite me if you don't agree?"
=====
Ten minutes later, Ms. Suzuki, with a sullen face, and Mr. Munakata, who remained calm, finally assumed the posture of a normal conversation and began to have a friendly and harmonious exchange about the ultimate purpose of his sudden visit.
Munakata Reiji looked at her puffed-up cheeks, paused, and asked, "Does Sonoko know about ninjas?"
Yuanzi blinked blankly: "What do you want to say?"
The Blue King cleared his throat involuntarily and chose his words carefully, "Then do you know that in the world you live in, there are people similar to ninjas?"
Suzuki Sonoko blinked even more confusedly, but didn't show any shock at all.
She nodded naturally and said, "I know."
Munakata paused.
Sonoko looked at his suddenly shrinking pupils in confusion, and asked as a matter of course, "I saw it when I was kidnapped as a child, how could I not know?"
"But Mr. Jirokichi told me," Munakata reached out and touched the top of her head, "that you lost your memory due to a concussion after being kidnapped."
Suzuki Sonoko now gets angry whenever her uncle is mentioned, and she has no time to pay attention to slapping away Reiji Munakata's hand that is touching her.
"Why does he tell you everything..."
Halfway through her anger, she remembered that her uncle was far away in Antarctica - with his suicidal personality, it was still unknown whether he could come back with all his limbs intact.
Sonoko simply skipped the topic and reluctantly said in defense, "I just had a head injury and my mind was confused. Confused thinking and amnesia are two different things. I didn't fall and became stupid. After I recover slowly, I will naturally remember it..."
Speaking of the kidnapping of Sonoko as a child, in fact, except for the person involved, no one else has a clear understanding of the bizarreness of the incident.
Suzuki Sonoko was kidnapped at the age of 12 because of hatred towards the rich.
The mastermind behind the incident was a middle-aged man who was fired by a company that had nothing to do with the Suzuki family.
This person has become a bit crazy due to his current life situation, and he simply wants to take revenge on society.
But at the same time, he was a man with a lot of ideas: so instead of robbing a bank, he began to think about doing something that would make the police lose their temper and make those rich people cry.
To put it simply, the middle-aged man's initial goal was to emulate the Kaito Kidd who disappeared eighteen years ago and become a cool and pleasurable imitator.
Turns out he didn't have enough intelligence.
Then, on the road of pursuing crime, this social LOSER found an experienced guide.
That woman is a low-end thief, or we can just call her a thief.
By manipulating social connections, they sneak into the homes of wealthy people, work while figuring out how to make money, and finally make a big profit by simply prying open a safe in someone's home, then retreat immediately when they see the profit.
That female thief had robbed the Hitachiin family a few years ago. Considering that there are many rich people in this world and their wealth is quite exaggerated, they can live a carefree life for several years by making a fortune. This time she came out to make another fortune from the Suzuki family.
At this point, this LOSER has given up on imitating Kidd. He has almost given up on himself and completely determined that he is a waste. He thinks that the reason he is considered a waste is the fault of the vampire capitalists!
He told the female thief that he wanted to help, and then he started working on other things.
In fact, there are more things that can make a rich man cry than just stealing the treasures in his house.
—Wouldn't it be quicker to kidnap her daughter?!
Suzuki Sonoko usually celebrates her birthday twice. Her real birthday is celebrated with her family, and her fake birthday is a social gathering. The female thief has almost found out all the schedules, and successfully tricked the second lady of the Suzuki family from her house to the small garden in the northeast corner on the fake birthday.
She raced against time to squat in front of Suzuki Sonoko's three safes and pick the locks.
Once the lock was opened, a cabinet full of kraft paper appeared.
The manuscripts of the famous detective novelist Mr. Conan Doyle and the combat medals he had received were neatly stacked together.
Miss Kaito flipped through the pages carefully and found a photo of a little girl winning a karate competition.
On the back, it was written crookedly: "Xiaolan is the cutest in the world", and a heart was drawn near the trophy with a red pen.
Miss Phantom Thief couldn't help but fall into deep thought: How much is this thing worth?
When she forced herself to suppress her anger at the failure of the operation and left through the back door, she happened to see LOSER smoking at the intersection in the car that had been sent to pick him up. There were also several men dressed as musicians in the car.
The second daughter of the Suzuki family was placed in a large box containing a harp and was carried out of the main house in a swaying manner.
=====
When Suzuki Sonoko woke up, she was treated quite well. She was tied up neither too lightly nor too heavily, sitting alone at the back of the carriage, with a clean towel stuffed in her mouth.
She leaned against the shaking car window and blinked, watching a group of kidnappers fighting among themselves.
The main reason why those accomplices dressed as musicians became accomplices was to get a share of the ransom. They dared to kidnap, but they didn't have the courage to kill.
Although LOSER, the mastermind, agreed to this with their mouth, his main purpose was to take revenge on society, so in his mind, after taking the money, he would kill the victim.
The female thief wasted so much time, but in the end, what she got was less than one-tenth of what the twins from the Hitachiin family got. The key point now is obviously to find a way to make some money and stop the loss.
So, the three musicians want money, the female thief wants the equivalent treasure, and the loser wants to tear up the newspaper.
This makeshift kidnapping gang had huge differences from operational objectives to division of interests.
When the internal conflict just started, the three musicians worked together to force the LOSER out of the car - this guy had a gun in his hand, and they were afraid that they would accidentally irritate this psychopath and shoot the cash cow to death.
The female thief took the car keys, locked all the doors and windows, turned on her high-tech equipment, and threw the locator she had found on Sonoko into a nearby valley. At the same time, she used the system to study the current reactions of the Suzuki family and the police.
What happened afterwards was quite mysterious.
The three musicians and LOSER started fighting because of a dispute, and finally pushed LOSER down the mountain path by accident. They thought: Since we have already killed a person, we might as well kill the female thief as well.
You can get more money!
As a result, during the ambush, Performer No. 1 was killed by the female thief who returned after throwing the locator.
When Performer No. 2 was strangling the female thief's neck, he suddenly had a heart attack.
Although Musician No. 3 successfully killed the female thief, he was hit on the head with a stone by a LOSER who climbed up from the bottom of the mountain path.
Seeing that the most ruthless guy had won the final victory, LOSER, with blood all over his head, happily prepared to walk towards the car.
The musician No. 1 who was originally planning to shoot the female thief was already dead, but the only weapon was still in his hand.
When LOSER was about to smash the car window in frustration, the corpse not far away happened to twitch slightly due to nervousness, and the twisted knuckles just happened to get stuck on the trigger.
There was a dull "bang" sound, and the crazy criminal who was threatening to smash the glass in front of Yuanzi silently turned into a blood flower on the car window.
Miss Suzuki Sonoko was awake for only ten minutes, and she could only hear a few distinguishable sounds. Because she was tied up, even the scenes she could see were limited.
——That is to say, after a series of "bangs", "claps", "dongs" and "booms", although she had not yet waited for the wise and brave police uncle to show up, she had successfully killed all the criminals who wanted to hurt her.
Suzuki Sonoko blinked blankly, trying to figure out how to spit the towel out of her mouth.
About half an hour later, two staggering figures came from the end of the mountain path.
Although the car was sealed, Yuanzi couldn't help but smell the scent of alcohol from the way he walked.
These are two drunk homeless people.
Their first reaction after seeing the dead bodies on the ground was not to scream and run away, nor to call the police on the spot. Instead, they looked around carefully, then squatted down and started to dig out the bodies.
The process was rather tedious, but they successfully found the car keys on the female thief's body. They thought that the money from selling a car must be more than what was in the wallets they stole, right?
But when I got closer, I saw that there was a little girl tied up in the car.
The moonlight was bright, the shadows of the trees were hazy, and on the rarely traveled mountain road, not a single car passed by for half the day.
There were five dead bodies lying within ten steps. A 12-year-old girl in a nightgown was tied to the narrow back seat of the car, unable to move. She looked into the car through the blood-stained glass. Her hair was loose, her skin was white and smooth to an unusual degree, and the expression on her face was obviously confused and panicked.
——No matter how you look at it, this looks like a ghost!
But the two drunks didn't think so.
A normal person would have time to think of a horror movie when seeing this scene, but the two drunk scumbags were only thinking about the little girl curled up in the back seat.
Thinking of her soft skin, thinking of her panic, thinking of the faint red marks on her wrists caused by the tape.
The two horny guys started to try to open the car door with shaking hands, but their drunken minds were confused. Their blood was rushing down their spines, and they tried for a long time but couldn't get the key into the door.
No sooner said than done, a faint rustling sound came from the woods on the other side of the platform.
Is there a wolf here?
At that time, Suzuki Sonoko had not yet realized what the two people who had been trying to open the car door for a long time without success wanted to do to her.
So, with her mind full of the knowledge that she would be rescued by kind-hearted people soon, she turned to look at the forest not far away without any sense of crisis.
The window in front of him was covered with a layer of blood, making it blurry and unclear. Yuanzi just saw a pair of eerie eyes that looked like reflections at a certain moment.
She subconsciously felt a chill on the back of her neck, and thought that she might have really encountered a wolf!
but……
She turned around with difficulty, making a humming sound to attract the attention of the two "kind-hearted people" who were still studying the key. While making the reminder sound, she unconsciously wanted to say: According to the documentaries on TV, wolves... shouldn't they all have green eyes?
The pair she saw...
Why does it look blood red?
——Could I have seen it wrong?
The next second, she was sure that she was not mistaken.
The pair of red eyes seemed to teleport and flashed before her eyes!
In the few seconds that Suzuki Sonoko was blank in her reaction, the guy with a human appearance but savage and animal-like movements, in a crazy way that made people's scalps tingle, began to laugh softly while lying on the car window, and stretched out his long and deformed tongue, eagerly licking the blood-stained glass in front of her.
Thanks to him, Suzuki Sonoko's vision became clearer.
So she kept this stupid posture, and watched through the car window that had been licked clean of blood as a bunch of red-eyed monsters walked out of the woods one after another, lying in groups of three or two in a pool of blood formed by five corpses.
The last guy who came out looked very much like a human. He even licked his lips slowly when he met Sonoko's eyes.
Because it was so scary, Yuanzi didn't dare to take his eyes away.
So the lunatic stared at the fragrant girl in the car while twisting the necks of the two drunkards and biting them out of more than half a liter of blood.
It was dripping all over the ground.
Miss Suzuki Sonoko was a little confused at this time.
Fortunately, the two homeless men were drunk and were unable to open the car door until they became other people's drinks.
Suzuki Sonoko thought that these monsters could lie on the ground and lick blood, so they probably didn't have such a high-IQ skill as unlocking a lock, right?
The guy who came out last made a sound similar to a sneer, and under the look of Miss Suzuki Sonoko that had given up on him, he hooked up the car keys that fell on the ground with his stiff little finger.
Oops.
Suzuki Sonoko thought indifferently (after all, the twist was too fast and didn't feel real): I'm afraid I'm really going to die this time.
However, the thing holding the car keys did not move. He leaned against the tree listlessly, shaking the silver key ring, and allowed the howling monsters around him to rush towards the car.
With a crisp sound that made people's ears numb, those monsters jumped onto the roof with extraordinary athletic ability. Even with the sturdiness of this medium-sized bus, the top couldn't withstand their full-force impact!
Suzuki Sonoko looked at the two sunken footprints above her head, and her first reaction was to be glad that these idiots didn't know how to break the glass.
wrong!
Thinking of this, she suddenly turned around and looked hard at the monster in the distance that seemed to have some brains, for fear that in addition to playing with the key chain, he also had some intelligence to judge soft and hard, and then commanded these monsters to smash her glass.
The former head of the Kuran family, who was temporarily attached to LEVEL E due to his broken body, subconsciously licked the corner of his mouth when his prey panicked and ran into his sight.
The level of this body is too low, and his consciousness is always inexplicably vague. Fortunately, he finally found a few living people, who can at least suppress this annoying nature.
Compared to dirty men, young girls obviously fit the definition of a good meal.
However, the frightened Meican shrank cautiously under the impact, and then began to stare at him with an expression that was not sure whether it was inquiry or annoyance.
In the moonlight, the young girl's eyes were as bright as two glass beads.
The girl observed again and again and felt that the leader was probably mentally retarded.
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and nodded with a lingering fear in his heart.
When she raised her head, the monster was staring at her with a strange expression.
Suzuki Sonoko's single-minded train of thought was still immersed in the relief that "the idiot didn't know to smash the glass". She was always the type of person who would subconsciously stare back when someone was staring at her, so in that split second, Suzuki Sonoko nodded to Kuran Ritu and subconsciously said "Hello".
As soon as she finished speaking, she was stunned.
Twenty meters away, Jiulan Litu, who saw the lip movements clearly, was also stunned.
Just as he was stunned, a crisp gunshot was heard from the path where the two drunkards were walking.
Suzuki Sonoko: Oh my god, the police are here!
The next second, two handsome men with white hair fell from the sky.
With a few flashes of cold light, the piece of glass in front of Suzuki Sonoko, which had been licked clean with great difficulty, was once again covered with thick blood.
In that scene, she was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help but sigh: This monster's blood is obviously more viscous than human blood. Look, it's even stuck to the glass and won't flow down...
Because her vision was blocked again, when Suzuki Sonoko heard the definite human voice again, the number of bodies on the ground had increased from five to fifteen. When she was led out of the car by the female boss, she carefully identified them for a long time.
It’s a pity that the idiot who turned the key was not found.
Then she was taken home by these two handsome guys.
Suzuki Sonoko put on the outer robe that Mrs. Kiryu took off and gave it to her, and went over the whole event of the night in her mind with a feeling of bitterness and resentment.
Before getting off the bus, she cautiously tugged at the lady's sleeve and asked, "Do those people have rabies?"
The Kiryu couple were stunned.
"no?"
She searched her mind for a while, but besides rabies, she couldn't think of any other disease. "Could it be a zombie? One that escaped from some secret laboratory and can infect you with a bite?"
Mrs. Kiryu subconsciously recalled the situation during the battle just now, and suddenly realized: This girl may not have seen anything clearly?
In that thousandth of a second, she quietly raised her thumb and gestured to her husband.
Mr. Kiryu blinked as if realizing something, and before getting off the car, he calmly put away the weapons used for hunting vampires. He did not mention the previous mission of clearing level E between the two.
Just before entering the Kiryu family's house, Suzuki Sonoko realized that these two handsome guys who looked very similar were not siblings but husband and wife, and these two handsome guys also had two little handsome guys.
The two little handsome guys are twins. The older one has an indifferent look on his face, while the younger one is gentle and lovely. Suzuki Sonoko is surrounded by four white-haired guys, big and small, and she feels like her eyes are going to be blinded by the lights.
She was now wearing only a nightgown, and the coat that Mrs. Kiryu took off and gave her was used to keep her warm, but the bottom was stained with a lot of black blood.
Suzuki Sonoko curled up on the sofa in Kiryu's house, hesitating whether to make a phone call first or borrow a place to take a shower first.
Although the two sons of the Kiryu family are twins, the difference between them can be easily seen. Kiryu Ichiru sat quietly in a corner of the sofa, staring at Sonoko curiously.
Zero Kiryu stood in the corner of the living room with his arms folded, staring at the brown bloodstains on the hem of her coat.
Suzuki Sonoko hesitated for a long time, and suddenly realized that she had never left home alone, so she could not accurately recite her parents' phone number.
She thought that since she couldn't make a phone call, she could only take a shower.
Then he went upstairs happily!
When she came out of the bathroom, Sonoko felt so happy that she felt like she had lived her life again, and she couldn't help humming a song.
That expression was so natural, so natural that it didn't look like that of a girl who was almost dying.
The thin figure was hiding quietly by the door. When Suzuki Sonoko looked up, she happened to meet Kiryu's curious eyes.
That look was filled with curiosity and a hesitation to speak.
The boy's fingers subconsciously gripped the door frame and asked, "Aren't you scared?"
Yuanzi was stunned.
——She has done nothing wrong, what is there to be afraid of?
"I mean," the boy, who was thin but much taller than her, pursed his lips, "when your parents brought you back...were you not afraid of what happened?"
Suzuki Sonoko hadn't found any sense of reality all night, so when she heard his question, she couldn't help rubbing her chin and thinking.
A minute later, she came to a conclusion.
"Although being attacked by a group of rabid dogs is quite rare, since I'm not injured, I'm not afraid of anything," she tilted her head, "I actually felt a subtle sense of excitement..."
Before he finished speaking, a sneer came from the other side of the corridor.
The more indifferent of the twins curled their lips at Sonoko and said vaguely, "Stupid."
Not being afraid is simply because you “know nothing”.
Suzuki Sonoko was inexplicably addressed and stood there blinking blankly.
She looked at Kiryu Rei's receding figure, then suddenly turned around expressionlessly and asked Kiryu Ichiru, "If I throw this cup and it happens to hit your brother on the head, will your parents kick me out?"
After a pause, without waiting for Kiryu Ichiru to respond, Suzuki Sonoko tapped her palms and answered confidently, "Definitely!"
Then she stretched out her body and spread her hands to Yilu with a smile: "So I decided not to bother with him about this little thing."
=====
Suzuki Sonoko can't remember her parents' phone number, but that doesn't mean she can't contact the Suzuki family.
She wore the clothes that Mrs. Kiryu found for her, took the borrowed phone, and walked around the living room, kitchen, and bathroom of Kiryu's house.
As expected, the dishwasher, TV, water heater and washing machine in this house are all made by Suzuki!
Following the instructions on the energy trademark, Yuanzi simply called the after-sales service number of the electrical subsidiary. After hearing the customer service lady's manual transfer, he asked her to inform them to notify the leader.
Because she was afraid of being considered a psychopath, she called all the phone numbers on household appliances. As long as she reported it one level at a time, if nothing unexpected happened, Suzuki's father would soon get her exact address.
The Kiryu couple had just returned from a mission and happened to encounter LEVEL E injuring people on the way. They felt that there was something strange about it and took the initiative to ask Sonoko to stay for one night.
The place of Kiryu's house is neither big nor small, but there are only a few bedrooms that can be lived in. Under the two-phase distribution, Kiryu Rei and Kiryu Ichiru live in the same house, and Sonoko will live in Ichiru's bedroom tonight.
For a single-celled organism, there is no such thing as insomnia. If she is still awake in the middle of the night, it is either because she has arrived at a place where she needs to adjust to the time difference, or because it is too noisy around her.
Suzuki Sonoko was awakened by the sound of gunfire.
Then she felt a cool night breeze, and looking out from the edge of the quilt, she saw that half of the window frame of her house, as well as most of the wall of the bedroom next door, had inexplicably disappeared!
With the gunshot in the middle of the night, a crazy beauty rushed into the second floor of Kiryu's house as if there was no one there. Suzuki Sonoko hid in the crack of the door and looked around, but only saw the back of Kiryu Rei running down the stairs in a hurry.
She is a bit square.
There was a loud noise coming from downstairs. Yuanzi hesitated for a moment, then walked down resolutely.
If her mother had not lied to her, even if she encountered a home robbery, as long as she could offer ten or twenty times the price, these criminals would definitely be afraid to act even if they still had evil intentions!
The Kiryu family are all good people. Even if doing this may be a little dangerous for her, but - at most she will have to spend a little more money afterwards!
When she walked down the half-collapsed stairs, the first floor no longer looked as warm as it had been during dinner.
Against the moonlight, Suzuki Sonoko realized belatedly that this might not be a simple burglary.
In other words, when she got off the bus and saw the fifteen bodies, she actually realized that everything was not normal.
Rabies and zombies are not things that can be linked together casually.
The woman standing in front of the window has long, smooth white hair and her messy kimono is dotted with cherry blossoms.
Her expression is distorted to the point of being somewhat morbid, but from an aesthetic point of view, there is a kind of beauty that is very shocking.
Because Sonoko's first instinct was for beauty, when she looked again, there was no room in her mind left for fear.
——Even if the bodies of the Kiryu couple were lying in the corner behind the sofa.
The way this beautiful woman held up Kiryu Rei, the way she twisted his arm, and the extent to which she bit him with her mouth all made Suzuki Sonoko feel familiar.
Then her brain, which had been constantly exclaiming "She is so beautiful", worked hard and successfully found a similar scene from the memory fragments from three hours ago.
That's how the idiot who was spinning the keychain bit those two drunk guys.
Suzuki Sonoko stood at the stairs and thought calmly: What happened to those two drunkards in the end?
Answer: Dead.
So she slowly drew an equation in her mind: If this continues, this annoying handsome boy will probably die too!
Suzuki Sonoko could easily hate someone, but she would never want anyone to die. Even if it was Kudo Shinichi, she would definitely jump in to save him if he fell into the water.
So the moment she figured out the equation, she picked up the wooden stick that fell beside her (it looked like part of the stair railing) almost without hesitation, trying hard to block out her superficial affection for this crazy beauty, rushed forward with her eyes closed, and hit her on the back of the head with the stick!
As a result, the stick broke, but the beauty was fine.
Before Suzuki Sonoko was thrown out by someone's arm, her mind was full of "Oh, no?", a fancy emoticon package that seemed to come with cheerful BGM.
Then the back of her head hit the kitchen counter, and the pain made her vision go black for a moment.
But this was not the end. The beautiful woman raised her hand and bit the arm again. The handsome guy with a bloody neck also flew towards her at the same angle.
Yuanzi adhered to the basic principle of never being a stepping stone for others and moved to a new position with difficulty.
The next second, Zero Kiryu fell with a bang on the place where she had hit him before.
Because the sound was so loud, in a daze, Yuanzi not only felt a sense of accomplishment of revenge, but also couldn't help but worry that he was going to be killed. She gently supported him with her body, which was much more flexible than she imagined, and then reached out to test whether he was still breathing.
The last scene that Zero Kiryu saw before he lost consciousness was the girl who really had no idea what "fear" was. Even though she was covered in dust, she still reached out to touch his face with curiosity.
And behind her, the pure-blooded woman was walking towards the corner step by step.
He has been bitten...
Before darkness completely enveloped his vision, Kiryu Zero's slow mind was vaguely working: He had been bitten, but she was still fine...
How to save her?
Even though he had been studying hunter courses since he was a child, Zero Kiryu really had no way to connect those thick theories with this dark midnight.
Then……
Then a warm white light appeared.
Before his thoughts came to a complete halt, a faint white light enveloped the corner in front of the kitchen counter. When Zero Kiryu regained some consciousness, he and the girl who was rescued by her parents were the only ones left in the room.
Unable to move and out of sight, Kiryu Zero leaned sideways with the back of his head against the hard table. The girl was still unconscious, curled up near his shoulder and neck. Her rhythmic breathing, with a slight moisture, hit his skin, like the sound of rain falling outside a dry and dilapidated village.
——This is the real feeling of being alive.
His vision was affected to a certain extent. Even if he looked up, he could not clearly see the patterns on the ceiling. Water was seeping from the broken pipe, flowing all the way out from the corner of the kitchen. Kiryu Zero moved his arms with difficulty and lifted the girl lying on his left slightly.
Suzuki Sonoko, who was half asleep, began talking in her sleep.
"What kind of birthday is this... Not being able to go to the amusement park is fine, but where is this freezing cold place..."
Zero Kiryu couldn't see her face, but he suddenly wanted to hear the voice of a human being.
He looked at the house that had become a ruin and replied softly, "This is my home."
"Your family is really miserable then."
Confused, Miss Suzuki said with a chuckle, "How can I be happy in a place like this... I might as well live in an amusement park..."
Zero Kiryu said I have never been to such a place.
Miss Suzuki, who was already feeling cold, huddled tightly in the boy's arms. For that little bit of warmth, she vaguely promised generously, "I'll just give you an amusement park when the time comes. My family is rich anyway..."
Kiryu Zero nodded indifferently, his chin just brushing against the top of her head.
In addition to the familiar scent of the jasmine shampoo he often used at home, there was also a softer, sweeter floral scent.
——It’s more like the scent that naturally seeps into the skin due to long-term fragrance and moisturizing.
That was also several years later, when Zero Kiryu was tempted by the scent of pure-blood blood day after day, it was rare that he could still recognize the scent of human and nature.
Half an hour later, the Suzuki family, who were so rich that they even planned to burn incense, once again demonstrated the power of money.
Several helicopters appeared in the sky, and huge searchlights illuminated the entire area. Pairs of police cars drove up the mountain road, holding various equipment and blocking the road efficiently.
The police arrived at the scene first, but because the Suzuki family had closed the mountain, the Vampire Hunter Association couldn't even get in.
Rei Kiryu and Sonoko Suzuki were on the same business helicopter, flying directly to the top floor airport of Tokyo General Hospital.
The official characterization of the incident was soon reported in the newspapers. The vicious kidnappers intended to kidnap the daughter of a consortium and demand a ransom, but an internal conflict occurred halfway through, resulting in the hostage being rescued by a kind-hearted passerby.
Unfortunately, the criminals were so cruel that they broke into the home of an innocent citizen with shotguns and other weapons, brutally killing his family of three. Only the only son and the daughter of a certain rich man survived.
As soon as you read this newspaper, you will probably feel that this rich girl is a jinx.
Although the Suzuki family wouldn't have such thoughts, they do believe that the Kiryu family's misfortune was caused by Sonoko. If that's the case, they must take even greater responsibility! Give this child adequate compensation!
Tomoko Suzuki meant that they could adopt the child directly, but before the formalities were completed, a man claiming to be a friend of the Kiryu couple showed up and asked to hand over Kiryu Rei to his care.
Mrs. Tomoko competed with the man in wealth on the spot, trying to prove that her home environment was more suitable for a little boy who needed care.
The young man named Kurozu Huiyan smiled slightly and asked, "You adopted Ling and made him your son, but can you let him inherit everything you have?"
At that time, Suzuki Shiro was still able-bodied, and the Suzuki family's main task at that stage was to give birth to a boy. When he asked, Suzuki Tomoko, who was preparing for pregnancy, was suddenly speechless.
The young man pointed at himself with a smile and said, "But I can."
Although the adoption plan was shelved, the Suzuki family has always been a very kind and wealthy family, and gratitude is the most basic code of conduct.
Shiro Suzuki asked Sonoko to call and send gifts to Kiryu Rei every month, and to visit them in advance on the occasions of the Kiryu couple's birthdays and death.
During the Obon Festival, they would invite a group of magicians to perform rituals for the Kiryu couple day and night.
Ever since he decided to find a son-in-law, his uncle has been nagging him every day, saying that Heizhu Huiyan already had an adopted daughter. He wondered if Heizhu also wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law, and turn him from a godson into a real son-in-law?
But after so many years, their family has been worried about their son-in-law, and Kurozuchi Huiyan still has no intention of announcing his daughter Yuuki's engagement with Zero.
The uncle later checked and found that when Heizhu Huiyan adopted Ling, he did not change his surname. He thought about it and felt that it was reasonable to keep the surname after all, as there was a saying of commemorating biological parents.
However, every year the Education Committee holds an exchange meeting, and Kurosuki Haien, as the school principal, always goes alone, and rarely lets Kiryu Rei show up in public...
Do you think there is no conspiracy behind this?
Sometimes when he is drunk, my uncle speaks even more harshly.
For example, "He deceived the Suzuki family with such sincerity, but in the end he was just like an insurance scammer. I don't know whether the gifts given by the Suzuki family over the years were given to Kiryu Zero himself or were embezzled by Kurozushi Haiyan."
Suzuki Jirokichi's idea was very simple. He just wanted a son-in-law without any worries.
If Kurozushi Haien goes back on his word, the Suzuki family will have to support Zero no matter what. Since Kurozushi Haien snatched the child's custody from the Suzuki family on the grounds of complete inheritance, then the next chairman of Kurozushi Academy, all the house deeds, land deeds and social relations must belong to Kiryu Zero!
If Kurozuchi Huiyan changes his mind halfway and teaches his daughter to give up the engagement with an excuse like true love, and let some other wild boy who comes from nowhere be the son-in-law, and snatch Ling's things, then they, Suzuki, can just marry the child back!
Zero Kiryu, Zero Suzuki.
I will repay the life-saving grace with my life and my family.
How nice!
The author has something to say: It was originally 8,000, but ended up being 12,000... Can you forgive me for its thickness and length? [Covering face
Then please leave a message (⊙v⊙)
Well, the candidate that uncle likes the most is online. Compared with the rich kids who were kidnapped together, I think the candidate I chose should be quite novel [touching chin
The timeline is that when Kiryu and his wife were plotting to kill their true love, Hibiki, he appeared near the Kiryu house at that time in order to see his disobedient fiancée go crazy.
The Phantom Thief's appearance here is useful, as it makes it easier for Ouran to clear the map directly in the end...
So the father doesn't actually need to worry about his daughter's values being changed and her mental retardation relapse. The reason why Sonoko believed what Oreyama said was because she knew from a young age that there were supernatural beings in this world.
The heroine's attribute is that she knows everything, but because she doesn't take it seriously, she says nothing.
From emotions to world anomalies, it's all the same :-D
Finally, I’d like to recommend a new article by my gay friend. Let’s jump into it together when we have nothing to do┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Don't come over here, I'm not a casual person!
Corrected the typo, thanks to the little angel who helped me find the bug
