People in Tokyo: Time Stopped

"..."

Ji Gong Wuming looked at Qianqiu who asked this question with a very surprised look, as if Qianqiu was not Qianqiu, but someone else disguised... Because the other party did not seem to be someone who would be willing to call her by her name.

In this regard, Qianqiu looked at Ji Gong Wuming who was constantly looking at himself. He also looked at himself, and did not find any grains of rice or dirt stuck to his body. He calmly looked at Ji Gong Wuming and realized something. : "Is it weird that I call you that?"

"It's very strange, very strange..."

Ji Gong Wuming who was talking looked at the school uniform on her body, she suddenly wanted to understand, and said: "I see, do you have a request for me? The high school represented by this school uniform is the nearby [Tiancha Affiliated High School]... ...is that critical?"

"Well, this is very important to me, and... I have to ask for leave in the afternoon, and I decided to get off work at noon."

For Qianqiu who said so, Ji Gong Wuming naturally had no opinion, she simply nodded and said, "Okay~ But... You must have taken your fancy to a passing JK?!"

"..."

Because of your existence, boss, my vision has probably been raised several grades, and I can't look down on those JKs before...

In this way, Qianqiu, who was half complaining and half praised, shook his head and wrote down the name [Tiancha Affiliated High School] in his heart. He said, "Does this school have a teacher named Tianxiong Gangyan?"

In this regard, Jigiya Wuming could only show a confused expression, she reached out and took a piece of cake... It was probably made by Jigiya Saki in the morning, because Jigiya Wuming is also a person who can't cook.

Before the lunch for the two of them at noon, it was all made by Jigong Saki, but today only Jigiya Wuming and Qianqiu were there, so Jigiya Wuming ordered takeout very readily...

Ji Gong Wuming ate a piece of cake by himself, and then handed another piece of cake to Qianqiu's mouth and said, "Even if Ringo-chan asks this, I can't answer it... I'm not a student of Tencha High School, but... "

but?

As Qianqiu waited for the following to watch, Ji Gong Wuming insisted on feeding the snacks to Qianqiu, shoved the snacks in the direction of his mouth, and said:

"A year or two ago, Tiancha Affiliated High School was still [Tiancha Affiliated Women's High School], and it only recruited male students and teachers in recent years... A name like Tianxiong Gangyan, which sounds more masculine, is probably okay. Find it from teachers and students in recent years."

"..."

"That's it, it's a big help."

When Qianqiu said this, she really couldn't resist Ji Gong Wuming's enthusiasm. She reached out and took the small snack in her hand... It was a small cube that looked like a mung bean cake.

After looking at it a little, he opened his mouth and took a bite...

"what about the taste?"

Ji Gong Wuming said so, although Qian Qiu didn't answer, but his slightly raised eyebrows explained a lot... After all, this is a cake made by her sister...

"By the way, I said that you asked for leave in the afternoon. In fact, I also planned to terminate your work: it is almost impossible to do work while practicing... You just need to concentrate on your cultivation after that, and you won't practice when you are tired. It is also possible, and the salary will be paid every month.”

"..."

Qianqiu thought about it... In other words, I don't need to clean the shrine in the future. I just need to practice and rest every day according to my own wishes. This is my future work...

Work……

Work?

"So, am I still working? I don't think that the money I get will be wages."

When Qianqiu said this, he looked very plain, stretched out his hand and took out another piece of cake from the plate, and put it into his mouth while saying: "I don't think this is [work], but more like [being aided]. Or [being nurtured]..."

"Hmm~"

In this regard, Ji Gong Wuming made a melodious and melodious voice. She blinked her lustrous crimson eyes, tilted her face slightly and looked at Qianqiu, and said maliciously: "Then Ringo sauce is willing to be taken care of by my sister and me?"

Does your sister know?You just said [you and your sister]?

Qianqiu thought so, and looked at her silently...

The atmosphere between him and Ji Gong Wuming did not become better because of such words. Instead, it changed from polite communication at the beginning to what it is now... Both sides turned on their spiritual vision, hoping to see each other's expressions from the other's expressions. Breath aware of what the other party is doing.

Both of them are smart people, there is no doubt about that... but because of this, no one will be the first to ask [You are very strange, what is your purpose all along? 】In this case.

The other party will not necessarily give the real answer, but will also reveal their concerns. Qianqiu and Ji Gong Wuming both know that... the other party cares about them, and they all know that... the other party knows that they care about the other party.

But the two of them didn't say anything, and maybe they'll explain it all at some point later... But now, that's the only way to experience such a stomach-ache unfolding.

No, that doesn't seem to be the case...

Qianqiu's indifference made him not even care whether he was [smart] or not in this regard. He simply asked: "If you give me a salary for nothing, what do I need to pay?"

"You don't need anything~ What must be said... Ringo-chan's gratitude?"

"..."

Simple inquiries and simple answers, although they didn't seem to say anything, but they also explained everything at this moment... Qianqiu didn't give anything, but Ji Gong Wuming got favor.

No matter which side it is, I don't feel that it is a loss, so it is probably...a win-win, right?

Closing her eyes so gently, Qianqiu, who was thinking about something, suddenly thought of something, and said while looking up: "Then, the cleaning work of the shrine in the future is to..."

Raising her head, she saw Ji Gong Wuming's face close at hand... As if she wanted to see Qianqiu's face carefully, she leaned in and said, "I will find the [Shikigami] I recently acquired. The help...that is, the weirdness who signed a contract with me and belongs to me,"

"Well, if I had found it earlier, maybe I wouldn't need Ringo-chan to work~"

"..."

Qianqiu gently stretched out his hand and pinched Ji Gong Wuming's face... There is no doubt that Ji Gong Wuming has always done things with ulterior motives, and is an out-and-out bad woman, but...

A little too endearing.

===Chapter 13 Like a ghost===

"Ah, I'm so hungry. As expected, I still have to eat some snacks on the way back. If you move fast, you should still have time..."

"Hee hee hee, you've become so fat, still eating?"

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!! I'm in such a good shape! You say I'm fat! I'm fighting with you!!!"

"..."

Qianqiu waited quietly with his arms crossed around his chest, casually browsing his own system pages while leaning on the wall behind him... The task the system gave him was to catch the murderer who killed his roommate.

But before that, it had nothing to do with whether there was a reward or not. He was already very keen to accept the mission to investigate the cause of her death. After all, if he didn't find something to do for himself, it would be very boring.

Qianqiu can endure boredom, but there is no need to endure it.

Accepting his help, and being treated by him as a [mission], those who need help... may feel that they may have good luck, but Qianqiu is not that kind of [giving hero], he is based on It is decided by [interesting] in a certain sense.

A very simple, yet incredibly complex person...

……

Qianqiu is like this, quietly waiting for the night to come... This world, there is no such profession as night shift security, so at night, people can enter any place arbitrarily.

No one can stop you...provided you survive the weird attack.

Under such circumstances, a spiritualist with the ability to protect himself can act recklessly every night, and the world has not been in chaos because of this... It means that there are rules for these unruly people within the spiritualist.

People who don't follow the rules may not end well either...

Qianqiu guessed like this. While watching the students bustlingly leave the school gate, he waited for the night to go to the Tiancha Affiliated High School to explore... The main goal is the archives, where there will probably be [Tianxiong teacher]. material.

The secondary goal is to find out what happened back then. After all, the character of my roommate doesn't seem like it would appear under normal circumstances... There must be dark facts hidden in the past.

……

"Eh? That person over there...is that some boy group idol?"

"Ah, really; too handsome..."

"Do you want to get in touch?"

"Hahaha, you go..."

"No, no~ I'm going to go to you!"

"..."

It's really an amazing high school affiliated to Tencha. Just like what Jigong Wuming said before, because it was a girls' school before, it seems that some yin and yang have declined...

"..."

"boom!"

"!!!"

Accompanied by a familiar voice, I suddenly felt a burning sensation in my butt. Looking at the world around me, it turned gray in an instant, and the pain gradually disappeared... The time of the world is going back.

In the moment just now, after the sound of [Magic Bullet] came, his butt was attacked... Although it was only a blow that restrained the power, it was not fake that he was attacked just now.

Been attacked?The source is a spiritualist?Or other supernatural beings with magical powers?Why hit my back... Such an attack can only break my pants and burn my flesh to black, right?

The backtracking time is one second...

"..."

During the backward time, Qianqiu became extremely calm, he felt his body completely out of control, and within a second of backwards, he had no way to make a different action from the previous one...

Chiaki pondered the attacker's purpose, and at the same time... At the moment when the retrospective ends, the moment after the flow of time, the power of time will manifest——

【Stop it! 】

"Buzz~"

The sound as if time was stretched to a stop came from Qianqiu's ears. It wasn't a real sound, but a physical auditory hallucination...

The time to stop is one second, because Chiaki's reaction speed is dragged down, so there is no time stop immediately after the time rewind... It is very difficult to detect the end of the rewind.

So he could already feel the heat coming from behind him...

From this point of view, learning can be interrupted in advance during the release of a skill, and it is still necessary to learn the [time core] skill of the next skill.

As long as ten skill points are invested, it can be used as the [time core] of key node skills...

While quickly thinking about his future additions, Qianqiu used this short second to avoid the attack coming from behind, and at the same time quickly turned back...

Yes, that's what can be done in a second... In the eyes of others, it's like being where you were one moment, disappearing there the next moment, appearing in a new place and doing A completely different move.

If you don't understand the concept of "time stop", then it is easy to be regarded as a situation of "teleportation", but as long as you can think a little, then the conclusion is easy to draw.

Therefore, the ability to stop time is not easy to hide, but... many people will be killed by those who have the ability to stop time before they understand this.

Of course, if you burn up the last bit of motivation in your life and tell your companions the news at the cost, then it's another matter... Even Qianqiu will admire such a person.

"..."

At the moment of turning his head, the gray-white world returned to [normal] with the sound of gears turning and time changing from infinite extension to normal flow...

Qianqiu saw the corner of a school uniform disappear into the corner of the alley behind him. For the time being, he could see that it was a student who looked like a teenager... The other party, is there any reason to attack him?

Qianqiu, who was thinking about it like this, didn't say anything like [Stop]...
