November 22, morning, Shibuya.
We took the Ginza Line to this place. Ren Suo, who was walking in front, looked down at the navigation. Qiao Muyi pulled him aside, pointed at the sculpture of tourists gathering under the sun and said, "It's Hachiko! Let's take pictures!"
Ren Suo handed the phone to her directly. Qiao Muyi shook her head and said, "Your rear dual camera is better than the front camera."
Ren Suo thought Qiao Muyi had a point, although he couldn't see how dual cameras were better than single cameras. As for the small details in the picture, who would be so idle as to enlarge the picture until they could see blurry pixels? If the phone didn't have a camera, he would definitely accept it.
However, after walking over and waiting for the group of tourists to finish taking photos and leave, Qiao Muyi directly pulled him over, put his head on his shoulder, and said, "What are you standing there for? Turn on the camera and switch to the front camera."
Ren Suo: “…”
After taking the photos, Ren Suo handed the phone over again: "If you like taking photos, you should keep the phone. I'm not very good at reading maps."
"don't want."
Qiao Muyi, who was walking in front, stopped and crossed her fingers on her buttocks like playing the piano. She turned her head and glanced back at Ren Suo, with a faint smile on her face bathed in the morning sun: "That's your phone, not mine, you can keep it yourself."
"But you..."
"You're not willing to take photos for girls?" Qiao Muyi turned his head and spat, saying disdainfully, "Humph, no wonder you're still a virgin."
Although Qiao Muyi spoke in a low voice and there were many people around, Ren Suo, a rank three monk with the ability to "see the world", heard every word. He walked up with a frown on his face and said, "I rarely take photos. You can see the last photo in my gallery, which is the unboxing of the Hell 4 Pro gaming console from half a year ago... If I take a photo of you that makes you look ugly, don't bother me."
Qiao Muyi chuckled softly, her tone full of confidence: "No matter how you take pictures, you can only take beautiful pictures of me."
"Everything you see of me must be super beautiful!"
Ren Suo was choked, thinking that since he comforted Qiao Muyi in the morning, Qiao Muyi had completely washed away her depression and turned back into the self-centered and confident child she used to be, like a little kid who had just put on shiny new shoes with flashing lights. However, the poisonous tongue and poisonous chicken soup still existed, although it had been reduced a lot.
"Where are we going?" Qiao Muyi walked to the traffic light and looked around. She was not nervous at all, as if she had completely turned into a tourist enjoying the trip.
Ren Suo walked over and saw three commercial streets opposite. Then he understood why this place was called "Central Street" in the game. It turned out that when you come out of the station, there are really three roads for you to choose from: left, middle, and right.
"Take the middle path." Ren Suo said.
Qiao Muyi had no objection. When the green light came on, they were swept by the dense crowd to the other side. At this time, Qiao Muyi gently reached out and grabbed Ren Suo's wrist, turned his head and said to him: "You are holding the navigation now, don't lose me. The protagonist needs someone to watch over him, only then does his existence have meaning."
Ren Suo checked the battery level of his phone, luckily he had fully charged it before leaving, otherwise the phone would run out of power and he wouldn't know the way, so he would end up leaving both of them in a foreign country... But they both knew Japanese, so this situation would never happen again.
Passing by Taipingtang Bookstore, Qiao Muyi pulled him in to look around. Ren Suo casually glanced at the books on the shelf: "The Story of Hachiko", "The Art of Enchanting Conversation", "The Legendary Haunted Experience", "The Heroic Records of Handsome Men"... Fanying can really publish any kind of book.
Qiao Muyi picked up a magazine called "Starry Sky Museum", flipped through a few pages and showed it to Ren Suo: "Hey, let's go to this place to play!"
What a coincidence! Ren Suo blinked and said, "I was planning to go to Ikebukuro tonight, and I'll visit this Starry Sky Museum when I go."
The 'clue passerby' that he would meet tonight was the one he met in the Starry Sky Museum. Ren Suo thought he would have to take Qiao Muyi there again, but he didn't expect Qiao Muyi to bring it up while walking in the bookstore, saving him a lot of effort.
Hearing that Ren Suo accepted his opinion, Qiao Muyi smiled with satisfaction, and then dragged Ren Suo to continue walking along Central Street. Ren Suo was confused at this time. Shouldn't he be the one taking Qiao Muyi around to play and then trigger the plot?
Was the comfort in the morning so useful? Did Qiao Muyi really have the protagonist's aura activated? Then would Qiao Muyi take him to break into other people's homes, open treasure chests and search wardrobes...
They walked around Central Avenue for more than ten minutes and bought two beef cups at a roadside shop to fill their stomachs. The Turkish-looking shop owner used a knife to cut hot beef chunks from the rotating beef tree, then cut it into strips and stuffed them into the cups, then stuffed them with salad vegetables. While it was full of calories, he also comforted the diners, "Although there is a lot of meat, you also ate vegetables, so it's okay."
While walking and eating, Qiao Muyi suddenly let out a sigh and motioned Ren Suo to look in the direction she pointed.
Ren Suo took a quick look and saw three trendy young men flanking a middle-aged man walking into a staircase. He didn't notice anything wrong. "What's wrong? There's not even a sign there. I don't know what store it is."
"Follow me." Qiao Muyi said calmly, and walked in with Ren Suo. The staircase was very narrow, and could only accommodate one person. After Ren Suo and Qiao Muyi walked up to the third floor, they heard scolding and cursing coming from the door of a room with the name "Que Zhuang".
Qiao Muyi motioned Ren Suo to stay at the stairs, and she opened the door and walked in.
Ren Suo saw several automatic mahjong tables in the mansion. Three young men were surrounding a middle-aged man in a corner. One of the young men had even reached out to take off the middle-aged man's pants, which made Ren Suo's eyes go straight. Do the young people in Fanying have such a good appetite and eat such spicy and heavy food? Aren't they afraid of getting hemorrhoids?
However, when Ren Suo saw the other young man holding a camera, he immediately knew what they were doing. They were going to take some ugly photos of the middle-aged man to threaten him.
It is estimated that they know the background of middle-aged people very well. Now they can take ugly photos of middle-aged people and threaten them, "If you don't do something, I will send your photos to your company." Putting them in Xuan Country, this kind of thing is unbearable. Even if you don't lose your job, you will lose face. But you can change the city, change the job and start again.
But it is different in Fanying. When people reach middle age, their interpersonal relationships are almost fixed: colleagues, family members. Once interpersonal relationships suffer a devastating blow, it is basically equivalent to the death of a middle-aged person. Because of the lifetime employment system and other issues, unless the company president actively poaches people, it is rare to hire social workers. It is also extremely difficult for middle-aged people to change careers.
If a middle-aged person loses his job because of this, his only fate is to do odd jobs to make a living or become a homeless person. After his original interpersonal relationships are completely destroyed, many people will choose the latter because it is always easier to escape than to endure.
After Qiao Muyi entered, the owner of the mahjong shop and the four strong men who were playing mahjong immediately surrounded her. Then Ren Suo watched a very easy and simple battle that he had never seen in the game before.
Three minutes later, Qiao Muyi came out with a full wallet, closed the glass door of Quezhuang, and said to Ren Suo, "Go downstairs, you can continue shopping."
Noticing that Ren Suo was staring at her wallet, Qiao Muyi thought for a moment, opened her wallet, took out two Fukuzawa Yukichi notes (ten thousand yuan) and gave them to him: "I'll pay for whatever you need to spend later. Twenty thousand yuan should be enough for you to shop. If it's not enough, come to me for more."
Ren Suo took the 20,000 yuan in a daze. He pointed inside Quezhuang. Qiao Muyi shrugged and pulled him downstairs, saying as they walked, "Don't worry, they won't remember me. As soon as I entered, I smashed their cameras and computers, and made them all amnesiacs."
“Amnesia? Does the Countermeasures Bureau have this kind of spell? ” Ren Suo was shocked.
"Physical amnesia." Qiao Muyi blinked: "It's just that the degree is hard to grasp, but they must have forgotten everything that happened within 24 hours..."
Ren Suo twitched his lips: "You went in just to...rob money?"
"What do you mean by robbing money? They are a gang that cheats people out of money. It must be a brothel run by some underworld organization. I am doing justice for the people and collecting some ill-gotten gains at the same time." Qiao Muyi said seriously.
"How do you know they are cheating people out of money?" Ren Suoqi was puzzled.
"I wasn't sure before I went in, but after I went in, I found something fishy going on inside their mahjong table. It's confirmed." Qiao Muyi walked back to the street with Ren Suo, shaking his head and saying, "Anyway, it will be fine to rob these bad guys. They don't even dare to call the police."
"Why did you steal so much money..." Ren Suo looked at Qiao Muyi. He remembered that Qiao Muyi was not a money-grubber.
As for Qiao Muyi's claim that the Quezhuang was run by a money-swindler, Ren Suo did not doubt it at all, but Qiao Muyi had the "magic eye" ability to trace clues. Her reasoning and tracing abilities were enough to expose all scams.
"Travel funds!" Qiao Muyi said seriously, "How can I go out for a trip and not be able to shop or have fun because I don't have money? That would be so depressing... I don't like traveling on a budget!"
"I don't want to have any regrets on this trip..." Qiao Muyi strode forward, turned his head to glance at Ren Suo, and said softly: "This is also my first trip, I hope it will be perfect in my memory."
Ren Suo nodded in agreement, "Yes, everything is difficult at the beginning, then in the middle, and finally at the end... So if the first trip is easy and enjoyable, then you will have the motivation to go on the second and third trips in the future."
When Ren Suo was a child, his parents took him on a trip for the first time. The main attraction was Mount Tai. God knows how the nine-year-old Ren Suo reached the top of the mountain. Anyway, from then on, Ren Suo refused to travel. He would rather stay at home and play games than go sightseeing.
Qiao Muyi laughed, seeming to agree with his opinion.
They passed by an ice cream shop and bought two ice creams. While eating, Qiao Muyi suddenly stuffed the half-eaten ice cream to Ren Suo and said, "I'm going to go in and buy something. You ate this ice cream... Do you want to follow me in or what?"
Ren Suo glanced at the shop in front of him. The shelves were filled with crystal bottles of various colors. There were only women in the shop, and it seemed that they were selling cosmetics.
Ren Suo naturally had no interest in this completely ignorant thing. He finished chewing the crispy shell of the ice cream cone in his hand, and continued to eat the second cone with a natural look. He pointed to the game console center with a [Sega] sign hanging next to it and said, "I'll go in and play games and wait for you."
"Okay." Qiao Muyi smiled.
As a result, Ren Suo played games for an hour. Although there were many games in the game center, Ren Suo hadn't played fighting games for a long time, and he couldn't even beat the computer. He didn't recognize the fan-made game consoles "KanColle Collection" and "Fate Grand Prix", but the game console that simulated the Gundam cockpit was quite interesting. Ren Suo could sit in the cockpit with three LCD screens and control the Gundam in a similar way to driving a car.
An hour later, Qiao Muyi came to find Ren Suo, who was playing the taiko drum, and said, "I think I met someone who has the clue."
Ren Suo put down the stick with a 'snap' sound, and hurriedly took Qiao Muyi out of the game center, asking anxiously: "Where is the person? Go up and ask for clues first, then come back to me. I'm here and won't get lost, but the clues may run away!"
Qiao Muyi didn't seem to care much and smiled, "The clue won't be lost. She is a part-time clerk inside."
Walking into the cosmetics store, Qiao Muyi pointed out the rather young female clerk next to the cashier. She looked to be a high school girl.
"Xiao Suo, aren't you good at flirting with girls? Go ahead." Qiao Muyi smiled and seemed to be discussing something with Ren Suo seriously.
Ren Suoke didn't dare to wear this hat and shook his head repeatedly: "How is that possible? I have never seduced a girl."
Qiao Muyi's smile seemed to have stopped. She glanced at Ren Suo and forced out a disdainful smile that was like a sneer: "Hmph... Forget it, let's go together."
Under Rensuo's "super friendliness" and Fukuzawa Yukichi's "money charm", the female clerk quickly gave them the clues.
There was a male high school student who was killed by the warriors of the Spirit Hall. He was her classmate. He skipped classes at the beginning of the month. The male high school student followed a group of live-action people in the class. After the male high school student skipped classes, the students in the live-action group also skipped classes one by one.
Later she found out that all her classmates were killed by male high school students.
At this point, she was a little confused because she remembered that the male high school student had always been the bullied one in the live-action circle. He often had to run errands and was even teased as a clown. He looked very cowardly and didn't even have the courage to look the girls in the class in the eye.
"A person who was originally timid and weak, suddenly gained strength and the courage to kill..."
After Qiao Muyi and Ren Suo left the store, she murmured in a low voice: "It really is the power to influence the mind..."
Ren Suo was also relieved at this time. Fortunately, this "clue passerby" was a clerk. If Qiao Muyi missed this passerby, Ren Suo didn't know what to do.
"Hey, Xiao Suo."
At this moment, Ren Suo was pulled by Qiao Muyi. When he came to his senses, he saw Qiao Muyi's face very close to him. He seemed to be able to see his own reflection in her pupils.
"Don't you have anything you want to talk to the young master?" Qiao Muyi laughed.
Ren Suo blinked and quickly got the correct information from his "listening headphones". He looked at Qiao Muyi's face carefully and said, "You're wearing makeup."
He thought for a second and added, "It looks good, yeah."
Qiao Muyi smiled without changing her expression and asked, "Who looks better with or without makeup?"
Only children would make choices. Ren Suo’s approach is: “They all look good.”
"If they are all equally beautiful, then why do I put on makeup?" Qiao Muyi snorted and restrained her smile: "You are indeed a virgin. You don't even know how to compliment a girl. From the game center to now, you can't tell unless I remind you."
Wait, she didn’t ask the clerk for clues first, but came to me first. Was she trying to show off her makeup?
Wait, does shopping for makeup really take an hour?
In fact, in this hour, I spend more time on makeup...
Ren Suo twitched his lips, but Qiao Muyi's words made sense and he couldn't refute them, so he could only mutter: "Because you look so natural when you put on makeup..."
Qiao Muyi turned around and smiled again when she heard this. She said, "There's a Ichiran Ramen restaurant up ahead. It seems to be quite famous... Let's go try it!"
……
"Would you like to see the planetarium? The endless sparkling beauty that never fades away, the sky full of stars is waiting for you."
At night, following the pleasant female voice of the Tianguan robot, Ren Suo and Qiao Muyi came to the Konica Minolta Tianguan in Ikebukuro.
According to Qiao Muyi's wishes, they bought tickets and waited for the next starry sky tour to begin. And because they became very rich by robbing the gangsters, they bought the second most expensive white cloud seats because the most expensive grass seats for the next show were already sold out. The grass seats and white cloud seats are the most central seats in the Tianguan. Not only do they have a great view, but they are also very pretentious, giving people the feeling of being in the wild, like admiring the starry sky with a tent under the sky.
While waiting outside, Qiao Muyi unexpectedly discovered that a guest in Tianguan was actually a key person carrying clues.
After some communication, they obtained new information effortlessly.
Looking at Qiao Muyi who was thinking about the clues, Ren Suo encouraged him: "Look, we went out to visit two places and met two passers-by with clues. It's not slower than going to investigate. There are so many people in Tokyo, it's easy to meet people with clues. We will continue to hang out in the next few days, and we will definitely be able to find the mastermind soon..."
Qiao Muyi hummed and nodded: "Okay, let's have a good time in Tokyo."
At this moment, she suddenly remembered something and said, "I need to go to the bathroom."
"The next starry sky journey is about to begin." Ren Suo asked in a very annoying way, "Can you hold it in?"
Qiao Muyi rolled his eyes at him. Ren Suo shrugged and sat on the sofa in the lounge area. He smiled lazily, "Then I'll wait for you here. You don't even have a cell phone. It will be troublesome if you get lost..."
Qiao Muyi looked down at him and said, "Then be a good boy and don't walk around here, don't urinate or defecate anywhere, and don't bite the security guard..."
After teasing Ren Suo for a while, Qiao Muyi smiled and walked to the dressing room. Fanying's female restroom is also called a dressing room, which is quite obscure.
Qiao Muyi looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly thought: 'I just happened to meet a witness with clues while walking around today. Am I really the protagonist favored by fate as Ren Suo said...?'
However, she no longer cares about this. At least, she cares more about what to do next.
As for the investigation, just let it take its course.
Qiao Muyi opened her newly bought makeup bag, which was filled with her spoils of the day: eyeliner, sunscreen, concealer, loose powder, makeup remover... makeup remover cotton pads, powder puffs, eyeliner, etc. were also available.
Qiao Muyi activated the "Detective Eye" and looked at herself in the mirror carefully, and found that her skills were indeed rusty. Not only did she need to touch up her makeup a little, but her eyeliner was not drawn very well.
After all, she hasn't put on makeup for almost half a year, and Qiao Muyi is new to this makeup style, so it's normal to have some omissions.
Half a year ago, after Qiao Muyi awakened, she thought she would not need to wear makeup anymore. It would have been stupid to waste so much time on such a thankless task. What the Countermeasures Bureau values is strength and performance.
Later, Qiao Muyi's appearance became better and better as her cultivation improved, and she didn't even need skin care anymore, so she naturally didn't think about this matter anymore. She didn't like makeup herself, and she only spent time learning this skill because she knew that a better appearance could give her more advantages in the workplace.
As for now, Qiao Muyi still thinks that putting on makeup is a waste of time, but the difference is that she is enjoying the process very much at this moment.
She doesn't need to use makeup to cover up her facial imperfections. Her face has no imperfections. However, she needs to use makeup to further improve herself, to make this beauty more shining, more varied, and more memorable in the hearts of others.
Using the elastic air cushion eyeliner that claims to be able to "fill the gaps at the root of the eyelashes and highlight the eye contour" to perfect the eyeliner, Qiao Muyi carefully looked at her beautiful self in the mirror while humming softly:
"Who, with a few words, stirred up affection?"
"Who, with every frown and smile, sways the nebula,"
"...With you, all grudges are gone like flying geese stepping on snow and mud..."
"…What do I want in this life? Only you."
