Stories in the Art Museum
What do you mean, when did she become so kind? Shi Yuyueling narrowed her eyes, looked at Qi Ning secretly, and said with half a breath, "I have always been like this. You must have some misunderstanding about me."
What? Everyone present looked at her in confusion. Why did she say such an incoherent sentence?
Qi Ning understood immediately and looked at Shi Yuyueling with the same expression: "Don't think I can't guess what you did."
It's mind reading, so she didn't shiver. When Qi Ning looked at her, Yu Yueling silently shrank back, her eyes wandering.
"Who would choose to stay outside on a rainy day like this?" Matsuda Jinpei disagreed with Shi Yu Yue Ling's suggestion to go out and look for someone.
No one supported her at all. Shi Yu Yueling was in tears and supported herself on the ground with her hands, thinking that she had completely failed.
Fūya Rei, who had been silent for a long time, lowered his voice and asked Shi Yu Yue Ling, "Are you afraid of ghosts?" There was something strange in his voice, as if he was a little surprised and a little bit unbelievable. After all, it was quite absurd that a magician was afraid of ghosts.
When asked about this, Shi Yu Yueling's crescent eyes were somewhat speechless. Wasn't it obvious what she showed?
"What? Magicians can't be afraid of ghosts?" Shi Yu Yueling also answered in a low and unpleasant voice.
"I didn't say that." Jōgu Rei quickly glanced at Shigure Yueling who was hiding behind him. She was keeping a vigilant eye on her surroundings, fearing that a creature she was afraid of would suddenly appear from an unexpected place.
While Shi Yuyueling wasn't noticing, he quickly withdrew his gaze, slowly reached back with his right hand, and held Shi Yuyueling's hand that was pulling at the corner of his clothes. The warmth of another person made his heart tremble.
Shi Yu Yue Ling, who was still looking around, had not expected that Jyouya Ling would do this. Her pupils first dilated, and then she squinted at Jyouya Ling beside her. Behind the squinting eyes, her black eyes were examining the person in the center of her sight.
"In that case, let's go in with you. We brought some food with us so we can fill our stomachs temporarily." Hagiwara Kenji suggested this. While Furuya Rei and Shigure Yueling were secretly making moves, they had already found out most of the situation here.
This was originally an art gallery, but after it was abandoned, it was converted into a laboratory by the owner of the art gallery. He is a biologist, a bit introverted and has few friends. Since the art gallery was abandoned, he rarely leaves this abandoned art gallery except to go out to buy daily necessities.
Misaki Kurosawa is the director's ex-wife. They divorced about five years ago due to the large age difference between them.
The curator's name is Masato Shiomi, and he is 50 years old, while Mrs. Kurosawa is only 25 years old this year. That means she married 45-year-old Masato Shiomi when she was 20 years old, and they are now getting divorced.
The age difference is indeed quite large. Qi Ning and Wang Yue's eyelids twitched a little when they heard it. And didn't you consider this when you got married? Did you only realize that this man is so much older than you after you got married?
"Then, Miss Heize, why did you come here to visit your ex-husband this time?" Qi Ning didn't know how to put it when he asked. It would be fine if you came to see your ex-husband, but you brought your current husband with you. Isn't this a bit heartbreaking?
"Ah, please don't misunderstand me. I'm not still harping on Shiomi. We broke off all ties when we divorced." Kurosawa Misaki's eyes were still filled with melancholy as she spoke of this. She hesitated as if troubled by something. She said hesitantly, "Actually, it was Xiu. He's a writer who specializes in writing supernatural stories. He heard about the rumors about Shiomi and wanted to come over to collect materials."
"Xiu hasn't written a satisfactory manuscript for a long time. After confirming that this is the birthplace of the online rumors, he happily invited me to come here. Before coming, I didn't know he was talking about this place. I only found out after I came..." Kurosawa Misaki lowered her head as she spoke. Her scattered hair obscured her expression and her emotions, making it impossible to tell what she thought about the matter.
"Ah, sorry, I only talked about my own things. Also coming with us is Mamiya. She used to be Shiomi's lab assistant. After Shiomi and I divorced, she left the lab not long after. I don't know why, but she heard that Xiu and I were going out to collect materials about the mermaid curse, so she came along."
The three of them came here together. Kurosawa Misaki was still hoping for luck at first. After all, the Internet said that this place was abandoned, so she thought she would definitely not run into her elderly ex-husband. However, she never expected that her ex-husband had transformed this place into another laboratory.
It's true that enemies always meet.
It was a bit awkward to meet again after five years, but fortunately Masato Shiomi was not alone here. His business partner Yuichi Ebina, who had collaborated with him to open an art gallery many years ago, was also here, giving Misaki Kurosawa some breathing room and not being caught in the invisible Shura field between her ex-husband and her husband.
After hearing this, Qi Ning and Wang Yue looked at each other with a somewhat obscure look in their eyes. The partner who failed in starting a business, the ex-husband, the ex-wife, the current husband, and the lab assistant who left the laboratory for unknown reasons, they had already smelled the scent of the case. Maybe the missing Kurosawa Osamu was already dead.
After noticing that the two young ladies looked a little strange, Kenji Hagiwara suggested that they follow them inside to take a look. By the way, they should also inform the owner of the place about taking shelter from the rain.
After finalizing their plan to meet Shiomi Masato, Matsuda Jinpei turned around and saw Morufushi Kagemitsu grinning happily, as if something good had happened. This immediately left him bewildered. Wasn't today's fate bad enough? Why was he still smiling?
"Zhu Fu, what are you laughing at?" Matsuda Jinpei asked with a little caution. The happiness of this black-hearted Master Jing always made people feel that bad luck was coming.
Hearing the question, Zhu Fushigi Kagemitsu gestured to Matsuda Jinpei to look at Furuya Rei. Matsuda Jinpei looked over with half belief and half doubt, and his expression instantly drooped. He saw Furuya Rei holding Shigure Yueling's hand, and Shigure Yueling did not struggle.
"Ms. Kurosawa has called the police, right?" When Matsuda Jinpei was looking at Furuya Rei, Furuya Rei happened to ask about the relevant matters.
"Yes." Kurosawa Misaki nodded, wondering why Furuya Rei suddenly brought up this matter.
"Then Miss Shigure and I will stay here and wait for the police." Furuya Rei looked at the direction where Kurosawa Misaki was walking towards, because it was really dark due to the power outage.
Qi Ning and Wang Yue also noticed that Jōgu Ling and Shi Yu Yue Ling were holding hands. They had no intention of disturbing the sisters' good time, so they did not object, although this was a good opportunity to take revenge on Shi Yu Yue Ling.
The few people split into two groups. Only Jōgu Ling and Shigure Yueling were left in the hall connected to the door. The figures of the others slowly sank into the darkness of the distant corridor and gradually disappeared.
Looking at their backs, Shi Yu Yueling couldn't help but frown and feel worried.
Holding her hand, Fūya Ling stood by and observed her. He always felt that something was wrong with Shigure Yueling today, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
