Eighth Crown

Liu Xia felt that there was something strange around him recently.

The "100 Love Skills Even Monkeys Can Understand" that he bought and put in the bedroom has traces of being flipped, and the semi-finished gifts that he is making to give people have also been moved, even the wardrobe and the bed. Signs that have been rummaged.

After pondering for a long time, Liu Xia bought a miniature camera and put it in the bedroom, and then found the source of the chaos in the room through the camera.

Sure enough, it can only be Esdes.

"What does this woman want to do?"

Liu Xia looked at Esdes on the screen, who was casually searching for something in his room, and a question mark appeared on his forehead.

To be honest, he always thought that Esdes was the straight-forward type, and would not do such a slut-like behavior. Her current behavior has simply subverted Liu Xia's previous impression of her.

To investigate the origin of his ability to travel the world? Or do you want to find weapons like Teigu? Or do you want to find his weakness and find a way to deal with him?

"Mr. Cang Mimu, this is the information you want."

The private detective handed a portfolio to Liu Xia, "The acquaintance version is about twice as detailed as the average customer."

"Thank you, I will credit the reward to your card as usual."

Lucia took the portfolio and walked towards the apartment.

in the apartment.

When Liu Xia returned to the apartment, Estes had already cleaned up the traces and sat on the sofa. The TV in front of him was playing the Japanese crash video tape he bought at the cram school.

"I have something I want to talk to you about."

Liu Xia put down the portfolio, then sat on the sofa opposite Esdes, and asked her straight to the point: "Why are you rummaging through my room?"

He never knew what euphemism meant when it wasn't necessary.

Esdes' eyes froze slightly, but there was no panic on his face. Instead, he paused the TV screen and faced Liu Xia.

"Look for evidence."

She didn't mean to deny it, she also gave the answer very directly.

"What evidence?"

Liu Xia raised her brows slightly, what evidence could there be in his room?

"Looking for evidence that you are in love."

Esdes put his arms around his chest and pressed his right leg on his left. His ice blue eyes looked at Liu Xia with a sense of oppression, and his eyes flashed with inexplicable care, "Have you been in a relationship recently? "

"That's all?"

Liu Xia waved his hand indifferently, "I haven't caught up yet, it's not a love, it's still a step before falling in love... What are you asking me for?"

"Not yet? That would be great."

When Esdes heard the words, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and then his expression became serious, "Just right, I also have something I want to talk to you about."

"Have you never laughed heartily in this period of time?"

If it wasn't for the rather serious expression on her face, Lucia might think she was probably joking now.

"What's the point of an unnecessary smile that doesn't bring benefits?"

Liu Xia raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at her indifferently, "And, if it's that kind of disguised, social smile, I can squeeze it out, but... I can't do it from the heart."

"Why?"

Estes was full of puzzlement and said, "You can obviously do it. You obviously laughed like that the night I was just resurrected."

"That evening?"

Liu Xia understood, "I see. If it was that night, it was indeed possible, but it was possible that night, but it does not mean that it is possible now."

"You've been living with me for so long, you should be able to sense the problem with my emotional state, right?"

Liu Xia looked at Esdes, "No matter what kind of strange people will appear in this world, unfortunately, I am one of them, I have no feelings by nature, and I don't know what love, family, and friendship are like. Feelings, no anger, joy, guilt or anything like that...not yet."

Just like what Liu Xia said, Estes also faintly noticed something abnormal.

At the beginning, Aozaki Chengzi lived with him for a month, and in the end, he was able to directly point out the nature of his lack of feelings. Although Esdes did not have the eyesight that belonged to a magician like Aozaki Chengzi, it did not mean that she had the ability to observe. How bad.

What's more, Liu Xia's abnormality is to the extent that even ordinary people can see it as long as they get along for a while. There is no reason why she can't see it.

For the past half a month, she has been paying attention to Liu Xia secretly, and used the camera to take pictures of him more than once, but in any case, she could not see the same pure smile as that night again, and her face no longer even showed anything but indifference. The expression on the outside came, and when she realized this, she had already noticed that something was wrong with Liu Xia.

It's just that Estes didn't understand the reason until he explained it himself.

Born without emotion.

That's why they are indifferent to all kinds of things, and can easily put on various character masks for themselves. It is because there is no real self, so the ability to disguise is so strong. When lurking among hunters, even She found nothing unusual.

"Wait a minute, you mean now?"

Estes keenly captured the key information in Liuxia's words, "You mean, the problem of weak feelings can be cured in the future, right?"

Even if she was born without feelings, after so many days of replaying the memories in her mind, she can say with certainty that Liu Xia did show a smile from her heart that night.

"Let's say it."

Liu Xia lowered her eyebrows slightly, "There are some eyebrows at the moment, but I don't know whether it can be cured or not."

"Then it's fine."

Esdes' straight back relaxed slightly, and a look of relief appeared on his face, "Your heart is absolutely pure, it's just that the pearl is dusty now, as long as there is a way to recover, then It means it's not a dead end. I'll help too, so it's more likely to be cured, right?"

"If you're willing to help, of course I can't ask for it...but why?"

Liu Xia glanced at her in surprise, "We are at most just a cooperative relationship, right? Besides, there is a hatred between you and I to kill you once. Why do you think about me so wholeheartedly?"

"You brought this up again..."

When mentioning this matter, the confidence and randomness on Esdes' face all disappeared, leaving only helplessness and depression, "No, maybe, it's a good thing to solve this matter here now-"

She muttered to herself in such a low voice, and then quickly made a decision. After standing up from the sofa, her slender body directly crossed the low table, stepped on the table with one foot, and drew closer to Liu Xia, her hands resting directly on the table. The sides of his head, in a posture close to the wall, trapped him on the sofa.

"I've been very concerned about this matter until now, answer me - why did you want to kill me when you were in my world?"
