Chapter 2 Two Ghosts Behind

As a qualified ghost, Akae Nazuki does not need to eat or sleep in his current form. Despite this, when Amuro Toru decided to prepare a bedroom for him, he did not say anything to stop him.

Even though Akae Nazuki knew it very well, this probably meant that Amuro Toru did not completely believe his explanation. At least regarding his 'amnesia' and 'harmlessness', the other party could not jump to conclusion.

Instead of letting this time bomb move out of sight, it would be better to tie him up by your side to ensure that any emergencies can be resolved in time - standard Furuya thinking, right?

Akae Nazuki had no objection to this. He understood Amuro Toru's vigilance and was even a little relieved.

After all, his plans are all based on the understanding and familiarity of his good friends. If Toru Amuro in this world easily believes him and lets down his guard, Akae Nazuki will have to make new plans and regret the other party's vigilance.

Thinking of this, he still felt a little regretful: he missed the opportunity to record his friend's dark history.

In the main world where Akae Nazuki is, he and Amuro Toru - or Furuya Rei - met when he was twenty years old, which is exactly eight years ago.

At that time, he graduated early and entered the police academy, becoming one of the other party's classmates. Later, he was promoted like a rocket, and became the youngest police superintendent at the age of 27. Even if he later faked his death and became the boss of an organization, his achievements could not be erased.

Because of this, Officer Chijiang's daily life is always very busy, filled with various missions and cases, and he cannot have much interaction with the two people who were undercover in the organization at the time...even though he has been paying attention to them secretly.

But it doesn't matter, the main world's organization was destroyed a year ago, and they still have a lot of time.

To Akae Nazuki, the other four people including Furuya Rei were different from the others. It was no exaggeration to say that they had spent seven years pulling the former him out of their own world. Rather than a simple relationship as colleagues, they had long become more like a closer family.

So, not to mention the distant future, just because Toru Amuro is the Furuya Rei of this world, Akae Nazuki will never allow this world to be destroyed, nor will he allow anyone to harm his "family" - even if they are from another world.

Well, let's put it this way. Anyway, my friend is tough and resolute, and he has even changed his species. It would be a shame if he didn't do something about it, right? His acting skills have been useless for quite some time!

[You must take it easy, Xiaohong.] Just as she thought this, the familiar voice of [Shu] immediately appeared in Akajinazuki's mind. The other party reminded her in a childish voice, [The Furuya Rei in this world has not had the chance to get to know you at the age of 18.]

In other words, the Rei Furuya in this world has not yet experienced the baptism of a little devil, and it would be disastrous if he went too far.

[It doesn't matter. He knows me now.] Chijiang Nayue replied calmly.

Speaking of which, the new world consciousness of the main world is [Book]. As the only savior in [Book's] cognition, when Chijiang Nanyue goes to other worlds to perform missions, He will also mimic and accompany him, but He will basically not make any noise to disturb or hinder him. As for what [Book's] new mimicry looks like...

Chijiang Nayue touched the book [Complete Suicide Account] in his pocket, the title of which he had changed, and revealed an unfathomable expression.

…

Toru Amuro was awakened from his sleep by his biological clock. Perhaps it was because he slept too late last night. Even he rarely showed fatigue on his face. He did not get up immediately, but stared at the ceiling for a while.

He replayed what happened last night in his mind several times until he had to accept the reality that it was not a dream. However, the idea of ​​ghosts was still very unscientific! Wasn't the boy really just using some props to scare him?

Even if there really is such a thing as a ghost, why would it be that boy whom he doesn't even know and has no connection with, instead of...

"Sure enough, you're awake." Toru Amuro's thoughts were interrupted by a sudden voice in his ear. His eyes blurred and the ceiling in his vision suddenly changed into a smiling face with curved eyebrows and eyes.

The boy who had just appeared in his memory was floating right above him in a very unscientific manner, with his legs crossed and his chin supported, and he greeted the temporary landlord in a brisk voice: "Good morning, Mr. Amuro."

Amuro closed his eyes, took a deep breath and tried to calm down. However, when he opened his eyes again, he couldn't help but grind his back teeth, and his tone was a little bit broken: "Please wait a moment, how did you get in? I remember, I locked the door last night, right?"

He began to be thankful that he had worn pajamas, which he rarely wore, to sleep last night because there was still a ghost behind him in the safe house. Otherwise, if he had followed his habit, he would have been running naked on the first day of his acquaintance with the boy's ghost behind him!

The spirit behind him, who had just met Amuro Toru, was not shy at all. He looked at his human landlord with strange eyes, and then lay back happily.

A second later, the entire spirit in mid-air suddenly sank under Amuro Toru's gaze, and finally passed through his legs and the bed board, completely disappearing from his sight.

At the same time, Amuro Toru could still hear Akae's confident voice: "Of course it floats in like this! Didn't I demonstrate it yesterday?"

Without saying hello, Toru Amuro was pierced through by the spirit from behind again. He felt a biting chill on his body, his eyelids twitched violently, and the ominous feeling became stronger and stronger.

He had a feeling that his future 'living together' with the boy would definitely lead to more unexpected events like today.

...Can I return the product?

"Sorry, no returns or exchanges." Akajinazuki, who had floated back from under the bed, sat on the windowsill and shook his fingers. Seeing what Amuro Toru was thinking, he said with a bit of schadenfreude.

That's right, happiness will not disappear from Chijiang Nayue's mind just because this world is more miserable than the main world. It will only produce greater happiness because of successfully persecuting friends in the other world! Chijiang Nayue thought happily.

—

After finishing morning exercise and having breakfast, Toru Amuro hesitated for a long time, but finally told Akae Nayue one thing - the two of them were going out today.

To be more precise, because Toru Amuro, who is currently a private detective, received a commission two days ago and happened to be going out for investigation today, according to their current situation, it is of course impossible for them to leave Akae Nayue alone to look after the house, so they can only take her with them when they go on the investigation.

What both of them knew tacitly was that this was also a test by Toru Amuro on Nazuki Akae.

Test whether it is really only Toru Amuro himself who can see and talk to Akae Nazuki.

For this reason, they didn't even drive Amuro Toru's car out, but walked to the station to take the subway. Even though they understood this tentative approach, when Akae Nayue calmly floated past the ticket gate, he still half-jokingly complained: "Isn't this also considered evading the ticket?"

The corner of Amuro Toru's mouth twitched, but he quickly calmed down his expression before people around him noticed something was wrong.

He remembered the message he had sent to his subordinates last night, and mobilized some of the public security information channels to investigate the young man behind the sudden appearance. If nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to get the investigation results in two days.

The ghost behind the person is also a reincarnated human. As long as it knows what happened in the person's life, it may be able to solve many doubts about the person. Even if it cannot, at least it must find out the person's name first.

As he thought about it, Amuro Toru sighed silently.

The ghost behind him, who seemed to be bound to him for the time being, had lost his memory and had not told him a name to call him by. However, they might have to stay together for a long time in the future, so he couldn't keep calling him 'boy', could he?

Akae Nazuki could guess what Amuro Toru was thinking, and he was happy to let the other party take the initiative to investigate. Compared to the name, he was more interested in the commission at hand.

What could it be, murder? Kidnapping? Or theft of treasure? Akae Nazuki has an inextricable bond with the word detective and has always been interested in reasoning, not to mention interesting cases that can stir up his dull emotions!

Ten minutes later, the two arrived at the door of the store where they had agreed to meet the client. Chi Jiang Na Yue poked his head in to take a look at the noble lady wearing gold and silver jewelry sitting in the designated seat. It was as if a basin of cold water was poured over his head. He instantly lost interest and then sank his whole soul into a small empty sofa next to him.

[What's wrong?] Amuro Toru frowned and typed in the memo, [Do you know the client?]

"No, I don't know him at all." Chi Jiang Na Yue said listlessly, "I thought it was some big case, but it turned out to be just a commission for an extramarital affair..."

How could he forget that Toru Amuro's identity as a private detective was just a disguise he had to wear when he was undercover. He was not famous at all, so how could he have so many murders to investigate? How disgusting.

If he is unhappy, others will not be happy either.

Amuro Toru paused, and after turning into a hidden corner, he quietly observed the client for a while, and managed to see some clues. However, this made him even more surprised: [How did you see that? ]

If I remember correctly, the boy just glanced at me from a distance, right?

Akae Natsuki recalled what she looked like when she was 18 years old, then lazily lifted her eyelids and looked at Amuro Toru, then smiled slowly, with a bit of the arrogance of a genius on her face: "Isn't this obvious?"

At this point, he became interested, flipped over and floated back into the air, following Amuro Toru to the client's seat, while exclaiming to the client: "It's actually quite interesting. She knew her husband was cheating on her, and she didn't do it herself, but she still commissioned a detective to investigate her husband. This wife is quite ambitious."

"Maybe... No, it's for sure." Akajinazuki shrugged, then smiled happily, "Congratulations, Mr. Amuro, you've been used as the alibi for the wife's murder of her husband and his wealth!"

Toru Amuro's head started to hurt again.
