Chapter 212 Love at the End of Lies Long time no see, BOSS...
The one in the middle is "Moonlight Sonata".
She has always been a little confused about this mission - she has already killed the three people who murdered Keiji Aso, sent those who should be imprisoned, and arranged for Asai Narumi to obtain a new identity and a new life, but for some reason, this mission is still in an [unfinished] state.
However, the reward for this task was not much for Lin Xi at the moment, so she didn't care - she helped Asai Narumi only because she thought the doctor was interesting, not entirely for the purpose of completing the task.
Above [Moonlight Sonata] is [■■'s Long-cherished Wish]. This quest takes place 19 years ago, in 1986. This quest was already available long ago, but Lin Xi never chose to complete it.
Every time she entered a copy of the past timeline, it took a long time to return to the present, and she was too lazy to complete it.
And the task at the bottom is the most riddle-solving task.
[Unfinished]
【■Who is it? 】
Please break through the confusion and see who ■■■ is. 】
Is this blackened place "Linxi"?
Lin Xi thought.
After all, it seems now that the identity of this body that I traveled through is shrouded in mystery.
But only one word was harmonized.
And "Linxi" is two words.
But... Lin Xi thought of "X". "X" is "Lin Xi", which has only one character.
Could it be "X"?
If the blackened area is "X", then if you want to complete the task, you still have to go to Toudou University and meet Ando Kei.
After all, just thinking of this name caused an uncontrollable shudder to come from deep within her body. It was hard to tell whether the shudder was fear or joy - but it did prove that "Lin Xi" and Ando Hui had a close relationship.
But before that, there was someone else Lin Xi wanted to meet.
That's Sayuri Mizutani.
Shin Uejiji once said that he saw Sayuri Mizutani at an exhibition of "X". If what he said is true, then Sayuri Mizutani should also be suffering from mental illness at this moment.
Lin Xi thought about it and opened his touch-screen phone.
"Did "X's" exhibition leave any deep impression on you?"
She sent a text message to Kamijutsuji Shin.
"What does this have to do with you?"
Soon, a reply came from the other side.
"I'm going to meet Sayuri Mizutani now. You know she's obsessed with this, and I know next to nothing about 'X'. You can even make a fake, so you don't know her style, do you?"
Shin Kamijutsuji held his phone and rubbed his brows.
He didn't want to investigate why this person even knew that he had attended "X's" exhibition and had made forgeries. He recalled the scene of that day with a headache, carefully considering the useful information and typing it into the dialog box.
"Her style is very unique and striking. The paint she uses is different from ordinary paint. She can build up a thick layer on the canvas, but it does not crack after drying."
I heard that her exhibition was planned by her own dedicated curator, and the location of each work was carefully arranged by the curator. This is indeed something that everyone who comes to the exhibition can feel.
As soon as they enter the door, all the audience will be enveloped in a dim halo. It is difficult to describe what this halo is... Perhaps it is the environment created by the huge painting format, special materials, and specially arranged music and lighting.
The most unique aspect of her exhibition is that each work combines image, symbol, and music. In other words, a different kind of music can be heard around each painting. The exhibition hall is like a one-way corridor: enter through the entrance and exit through the exit, with no way back, so each work can only be seen once.
It is difficult to describe her style, but if I must use a word to describe it, I would call it "time" - time that can only move forward and not go back, time that can only be written once, but after experiencing it, it lingers in the memory, making people remember it all the time and never forget it.
Although the exhibition is called "Rebirth"... I don't really understand why it was named that way. Perhaps that was the idea that Miss "X" wanted to express at the time.
After a while, Kamijutsuji saw the reply:
"Anything else? Some small details or something. Just enough details to make my words seem real."
Details…Kamitsuji Shin tried hard to recall.
For some reason, he always felt that the memories of visiting the art exhibition were very chaotic, and the more he recalled, the more vague it became.
It’s as if the originally clear things are covered with fog, becoming hazy and unclear.
Just like he could now describe the general appearance of the exhibition and his feelings to the strange killer, but he couldn't remember what the paintings were specifically about.
If he tried to think hard, his head would ache—and no matter what, he could only come up with some confusing, strange symbols.
However, the small details...
"There is a fragrance."
"Fragrance? Be more specific. What kind of fragrance is it?"
Rich fragrance...
Shin Uejiji typed: "It should be the scent of wisteria flowers."
Lin Xi's hand paused.
strangeness.
It seemed like she had overlooked something.
She frowned, but couldn't figure out what it was.
Forget it… She shook her head.
"I see. How are you getting along with your girlfriend? Seriously, is it really necessary to hide this from her now? You're with her all the time, and it's hard to believe you're still planning so many things behind her back."
"I told you, she has nothing to do with this. I won't let her know."
"I'm curious, you haven't told her yet. Is it because you don't want her to ruin your plan, or... are you afraid to confess to her because you're afraid she won't stand by you?"
"Can't you just do your job?" A moment later, another message arrived: "If that woman knew the truth, she'd probably tell her parents directly. She's so easily persuaded. If she ever finds out... I'll lock her up, and it won't affect your actions."
Lin Xi laughed softly.
Indeed, compared to experiencing it yourself, watching others get into trouble is the greatest joy in life.
She closed the chat box, clicked on another number, edited the message, and sent it.
"Your husband is mentally ill. You'd better see a professional psychologist."
——A concerned citizen
Lying on the bed and preparing to take a nap, Asayama Rika reached out and picked up her cell phone from the bedside table.
There is a new text message alert tone.
——Strange, the number is a string of garbled characters.
...Her husband? How annoying! She and Ah Xin haven't even gotten married yet!
Whose prank is this!
What a psychopath! How disgusting! He harassed her with this kind of news.
Asayama Rika put her phone aside, rolled up the thin quilt, closed her eyes, and planned to ignore the strange message and go to sleep.
But half a minute later, she slowly sat up, opened her phone and read the message again.
All the abnormalities that had been happening with Shin Kamijutsuji these days flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but wonder in her heart: Shin... could there really be something wrong with him?
She was about to send a text message to the garbled number to ask who the other party was, but she saw the message records and the number disappear line by line, leaving no trace.
Asayama Rika was shocked and confused.
There was a noise outside the bedroom door. After a while, the door was opened and Kamijutsuji Shin came in, rubbing his head.
"A Xiang? I thought you were asleep... Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?"
Asayama Rika looked at Kamijutsuji Shin seriously and said word by word, "Shin, have you felt any abnormality in your mental state recently?"
Kamitsuji Kokoro:?
.
Night falls.
After picking out a few photos from Amuro Toru's message and sending them to Haibara Ai, and adding a cute facial expression to the message, Lin Xi looked in the mirror, twisted and reshaped his skin, and turned into a handsome young man.
The young man has short, slightly curly black hair and honey-colored eyes, and a pair of rimless glasses adds a bit of student spirit to him.
This is exactly the appearance of the brother that Lin Xi designed for Punch - Hirojin Shibahara.
Her honey-colored eyes, identical to mine, were like melted icing sugar. Her hair was black with slightly curled ends. When she smiled, small dimples appeared on her face, making her look very friendly and pleasing to the eye.
At this moment, she was wearing a light brown short coat and was slightly taller than Lin Xi herself.
She opened the door and took the elevator at the end of the corridor down to the first floor.
A charity dinner will be held here tonight, and Sayuri Mizutani will be in attendance.
By this time, the dinner should have already started.
She entered the banquet hall using someone else's invitation she had taken with her, and casually took a glass of wine from a tray held by a passing waiter. As her eyes scanned the room, she spotted her target.
The woman was wearing a plain long dress with a waist, the hem of which was as flared as a violet. Her white fingers were painted with emerald nail polish. She was holding a wine glass like her, shaking it gently, as if she was thinking about something.
——The genuine Sayuri Mizutani.
At the same time, Lin Xi discovered that there was an acquaintance standing next to her.
——Hideharu Tsugawa.
What was he doing here? Oh, yes... Although he knew that the painting was a fake, Lin Xi still spent money to buy it.
How did Hideji Tsukawa know that the painting was taken by Sayuri Mizutani, so he chased after her?
This guy really looks like a humanoid... To conceal the existence of "X", why must he kill those who knew about it? That would obviously make it easier to expose...
Lin Xi felt that no one in the entire Fengtan group was sane.
This guy now wants to kill Mizutani Sayuri, and Lin Xi really doubts whether he can succeed.
She lowered her eyes and took a sip of the pear juice in the glass that she had replaced with the same color as the champagne. Suddenly, in the reflection of the glass, she saw Mizutani Sayuri smiling in her direction.
...What's going on?
There is no one else around her now.
She calmly turned her gaze to Mizutani Sayuri and saw her raising the wine glass in her hand towards her from a distance.
And the red lips gesturing towards her:
——Long time no see, BOSS.
