Chapter 257 Two Villains

Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei were talking in low voices, and when they turned their gaze back to the cat and the boy, it was obvious that there was another head over there.

It's golden and looks very familiar.

Hagiwara Kenji: "…When did Kofukuro come over?"

Morobushi Jingguang, who was taking photos nearby and looked very happy, took the time to answer his question casually: "When you were chatting just now, Zero tried to talk to the boy, but the other party ignored him."

But Rei Furuya didn't really care about this, because now Rei Furuya, who was squatting there, obviously focused his attention on the cute black cat.

"I usually say I like dogs more than cats, but when a cat appears, Zero will give up the resistance."

Morofushi Kagemitsu smiled calmly, and while sighing, he quickly snapped a photo. Hagiwara Kenji leaned over to take a look, and the screen clearly showed the image of Furuya Rei concentrating and carefully petting the cat.

He reaffirmed his thoughts: Sure enough, the most terrifying among the five of them was the gentle-looking Xiao Zhuofu.

Thinking of this, Hagiwara Kenji noticed that Matsuda Jinpei beside him also took out his mobile phone. He came to Morobushi Keimitsu and lowered his voice as if conducting some illegal transaction. He said expectantly: "Please, Keidan, send me a copy of the photo you just took!"

A few seconds later, Kenji Hagihara also happily joined the team sharing photos.

Different from the sinister atmosphere over there where people were ready to cheat people, here, Furuya Rei was getting along harmoniously with the man and the cat.

This is mainly reflected in the fact that the black cat did not resist any touch when it was concentrating on eating the dried fish. Therefore, Rei Furiya, who rarely has the opportunity to touch a cat, was able to practice all the cat-stroking techniques he learned from the Internet on the black cat.

As for the strange boy, he only paid him a glance when Furuya Rei approached and squatted at the beginning, and then just stared at the cat and ignored him. Although Furuya Rei ignored his initial attempt to talk to him, the boy did not stop him when he wanted to touch the black cat, but remained silent as if tacitly agreeing.

Especially after he noticed that the black cat's voice became even more coquettish when he was touched, the boy silently shared one of his dried fish with him.

While Furuya Rei was stroking the cat with great interest, he curiously analyzed the logic of the boy's behavior in his heart. As he was thinking, his movements of stroking the cat gradually slowed down, and as a result, the dissatisfied cat hit his palm with its head.

"Oh, sorry." Furuya Rei apologized to the cat subconsciously, then stopped strangely.

He came to a strange conclusion... Could it be that the boy thought he was the same kind as a cat?

"This is the leader of the stray cats in the area. An old lady I met before told me that all the stray cats in this area are led by this black cat called Lao Da."

Before Fūya Ling could say anything, a cheerful voice suddenly rang out from behind the two of them: "I heard that the boss had a bad temper before, but it seems that he really likes you now."

The boy pretended not to hear anything and continued squatting there with his chin propped up to feed the cat dried fish. Furuya Rei put the cat back on the ground. When he turned around, he saw Hagiwara Kenji who had come up behind them. The latter squeezed his eyes and smiled at him, then squatted down on the other side of the boy without much concern.

By the time the social ended, it was already dark. The boy and the cat had originally stayed under the street light, but now the three of them simply squatted in a circle in front of the street light, covering the cat inside tightly. When viewed from behind, this posture looked like the execution scene of some □□ ritual.

The cat was the first to feel that the air around it had become strange. It was not used to these humans either, so it finally picked up a small dried fish and came over, solemnly patted the boy's hand with its paw, then turned around and ran away without any reluctance. It disappeared in a few seconds, leaving the humans standing there in amazement at its reckless speed.

Kenji Hagiwara felt a little regretful, but not particularly regretful... After all, his purpose was not to touch the cat, but to find a topic to talk to the boy. However, he and Rei Furuya could feel that after the black cat ran away, the aura around the boy dropped significantly.

Okay, now!

Before the boy stood up and left, Hagiwara Kenji found the opportunity to speak tentatively: "I know where the boss and his other cats often hang out--"

The boy, like a cat attracted by dried fish, accurately captured the message in the words and turned to look at the person he had always ignored.

The future police officer with half-long hair took a deep breath in his heart, blinked twice, and looked at the boy with a smile for a few seconds. He shook his phone while speaking: "So, why don't we exchange contact information, and then we can go there together to find the boss and the others?"

The two people who had been standing not too far from them happened to be walking towards this side, and as soon as they got close, they heard what Hagiwara Kenji said.

Morofushi Kagemitsu was stunned for a second and looked a little surprised, but Matsuda Jinpei didn't even frown, obviously he had expected that his childhood friend would say this.

He knew it very well. Not to mention the distraught look Hagi had the whole day before he met the boy, the inexplicable words he said to the boy after meeting him clearly stated "I want to get to know him".

Jinpei Matsuda was the person who had experienced the most profoundly how powerful childhood influence was.

The strange boy who had unknowingly become the center of attention looked at Hagihara Kenji again, his eyes glittering with a strange light. He must have thought seriously for a while, and the way he looked down at the ground overlapped with Hagihara Kenji's dream for a moment.

Before Kenji Hagiwara actually met the boy, he could no longer remember what he had dreamed about. He only remembered a pair of beautiful water-red eyes and the disturbing black smoke outside the window.

The feeling was very subtle. In fact, when he saw the boy in the crowd for the first time, even though he still couldn't remember what happened in his dream, Kenji Hagiwara recognized that the boy was the person in his dream.

No basis, just instinct.

"Next time." The young man finally spoke. Although it was an unfamiliar voice, it inexplicably brought an indescribable sense of familiarity to the four people around him, as if they had often heard the owner of this voice speaking somewhere.

The black-haired boy, whose name they didn't even know, stood up and merged silently into the crowd before they could stop him. He disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving behind only his last words.

"If we meet next time, I'll introduce myself then."

Kenji Hagiwara was still half-squatting in the same place, with the light of the street lamp shining on his face. Being of outstanding height, he rarely had to look up at other people. The look of him squatting there stupidly and looking in the direction where the boy disappeared even made Furuya Rei beside him feel a little disappointed.

So weird, take another look.

When Furuya Rei looked over again, Hagiwara Kenji's expression had returned to normal. He stood up and patted his clothes. When he noticed his gaze, he cast a puzzled, inquiring look at him.

Furutani Rei, who is often criticized for being too serious, shook his head and rubbed his face, believing that it was just his illusion.

...No, I still find this strange. I'll talk to Hiro in private later.

"Ah, I remember now." Morofu Jingguang suddenly said, his expression suddenly enlightened, "I have seen this person before, he seems to be the A."

"A... You mean he dropped out of school at the beginning of the new semester?" Matsuda Jinpei obviously had some impression of this, because this incident sparked a lot of discussion in the police academy. During that time, he heard people gossiping about this classmate who had been their classmate for a while and then ran away almost every day. He felt like his ears were wired from listening to it.

Morobushi Kagemitsu nodded thoughtfully, "Well, I met him in the corridor at the beginning of the school year. Because the instructor's attitude was strange, I paid a little attention to him. ... I didn't expect to see him here again."

"In that case, we can also get his contact information from the foreigner." Matsuda Jinpei rubbed his hair. He didn't care much about the boy, but considering that Yu Meiran cared so much, he still reluctantly made a suggestion that could be implemented the fastest at the moment.

"No, Jinpei." Hagiwara Kenji approached without knowing when, grabbed the young girl's shoulder and stuck his head out, sternly refusing, "Since I have agreed with A-chan to introduce myself the next time we meet, it would be cheating if I ask the instructor to tell me the questions in advance!"

"I won't complain about why you called Little A. When did you agree on this?" Matsuda Jinpei glared and poked Hagiwara Kenji's chest with his elbow. "That guy just said one sentence and ran away. It seems like he didn't want to respond to your approach so he just made up an excuse."

"I already told you it's not a flirtation!"

"I say, do you guys still want to stand here and chat?" Fūya Rei, who had not spoken a word from beginning to end, interrupted in a heavy tone, "If you don't go back now, you will miss the roll call. We will have to book the bathhouse again this week."

Several people looked at each other. After a moment of awkward silence, they all sprinted towards the Police Academy at the same time.

Oops, I totally lost track of time!

Not until all the lively police cadets had left did someone in the alley that the cat had just left turn their gaze and greet the black cat that had jumped down from the wall.

"Thank you for your help just now." Chijiang Nayue talked to the black cat with a serious face, "Next time I will bring your favorite little fish to see you."

The black cat gave him a look that said 'you are very smart'.

Chi Jiang Na Yue, who was in a good mood, bent down and put the cat boss into her arms, and casually smoothed its fur, her eyes wandering aimlessly in the air.

"It looks like Yanji-kun is very successful." He muttered to himself, "Then, the next one should be Brother Hang."

Chijiang Nayue leisurely walked out of the alley with the cat in her arms and went straight to a black vintage car parked on the street.

"Too slow." After he got in the car, the co-pilot asked in a rather impatient voice, "Where's the locator?"

"It was eaten by a cat." The black-haired boy in the back seat said calmly, leaning his chin on his hand and looking out the window, "I don't need to report my itinerary to you, right?"

Oh, self-introduction? I forgot to say that.

Na Yue Chijiang is the savior wandering in a parallel universe and is currently playing a villain.

The boy turned around and looked at the man in the rearview mirror. Then he narrowed his eyes without any emotion and called out the man's code name: "——Gin."
