Protect our prophets

Chapter 13 Killing Tennis Ball

Just finished chatting with Fumta Marui and settled a matter, Matsuxue thought he should be much more relaxed, but when he got home and lay on the bed, he always felt that he still overlooked something.

What is it, is it important?

If it will be missed, isn't it very important...

She couldn't think clearly for a while, the more she thought, the more confused her mind became, and she didn't know when she fell asleep in a daze.

The next day was Sunday, Songxue slept until dawn, and checked her phone, it was already 10:30.And Liu Sheng made an appointment to come and take her to their house for lunch...

She sat up in surprise, quickly jumped out of bed, and opened the closet.

With Liu Sheng's gentle and refined personality, even if she was late, she shouldn't be too angry - Songxue wasn't sure, but she just had this feeling.

Memory loss is indeed a troublesome thing.Every person who claims to know her often makes her feel a kind of contradiction between familiarity and strangeness.

"Well, even if you lose your memory, your mind is still clear," Songxue said to herself encouraging herself, "I must be a famous detective, there's nothing wrong with that."

Songxue fiddled with the ends of her hair in front of the mirror.

She may not have had a haircut for a long time, short hair always grows faster, it has almost reached her shoulders, and is at a length that is neither awkward nor embarrassing.

Or tie it up, she thought, feeling a little depressed after searching around in the bathroom, but couldn't find a hair tie.

After washing up, Songxue looked at the time.

Ten minutes to eleven.Maybe you can go to the convenience store downstairs and buy an oden for breakfast.

As soon as she went out, she looked up and met the neighbor next door.

"Oh, good morning." Xingcheng greeted her with a smile.

He proactively took a step forward, and pressed the elevator button first. When he turned around, Songxue was still standing there looking at him, slightly astonished.

"What's wrong?" Star City asked.

"I know something's wrong..." she murmured.

"what?"

The handsome young man was also stunned, blinking blankly, not knowing what to say.

However, Songxue was completely immersed in her own thoughts: "There is no corpse, there is really no... But, when did it start?"

Heart pounding fast.

She should have found out sooner.

Because this is the first "information" she gets when she opens her eyes and recognizes the world again.

die.Everyone's "death prophecy".

But when she saw Xing Chengkong for the first time, she didn't see anything.

After meeting him, she never saw him again.

At first, Songxue subconsciously thought that it was because everyone in her life circle had already "met".

Xingchengkong first appeared on Friday night, and she went to school by car at noon on Saturday.There were not many people on the road, maybe because the distance was too far, she didn't care.There are faces I have seen in school, and when I chatted with Marui later, she was too focused...

Songxue is sure that her memory is very good.Looking back now, when Xingcheng walked into the elevator, she was indeed seeing him for the first time.

At that time, her attention was completely focused on the "suspicious tailgator", and she was too nervous to ignore it. She didn't think about it until Xingcheng took off her mask and revealed a star face.

However, will Star City be related to the murder that happened in the school?Not too possible.

Songxue shook her head and frowned.

If it has nothing to do with the murder case, it has something to do with the "prophecy" ability that suddenly appeared on her body.Who is this person?

——Is her amnesia really due to a car accident, or is it the price of this super-scientific ability?

When the elevator reached the first floor, Songxue remained motionless, staring intently in a daze.

Xing Chengkong stepped out of the elevator, turned around and smiled at her, while lifting the mask on his chin to put it on.The clear voice became slightly blurred through the dustproof cloth: "Be careful when you walk, then, see you later."

With his departure, Songxue's train of thought had to be interrupted.

Maybe he knows something, she thought hesitantly, should I ask next time?

However, the identity of the other party is too special, will it be misunderstood as bad fan behavior?

Songxue walked out of the apartment door thoughtfully, and Liu Sheng's voice came from above her head, and she suddenly came back to her senses, realizing that she was about to run into him: "What are you thinking?"

She picked up the phone immediately, and she was still 6 minutes away, so she was not late.But she thought again, Liu Sheng would definitely not arrive in time, but would wait here in advance.

Songxue coughed dryly: "Have you been waiting for a long time? I still want to buy something to eat."

"Just arrived, not long ago." Liu Sheng's voice was very calm, without a trace of surprise, "Didn't you eat breakfast?"

"Did I do this before?" She followed him down the steps and asked casually.

"It seems that I stay up late to read novels, so I wake up very late on weekends." Liu Sheng quickly glanced at her from the side of the lens, and said methodically, "Of course, I have no position to interfere with your living habits, just to remind you, It’s better not to miss breakfast.”

"I'll try my best." She replied, her tone not too sincere.

Liu Sheng didn't continue to pursue it, and was still puzzled by her previous distraction. Thinking of the young man who came out of the door, he frowned slightly: "What happened just now? Did you meet someone you know?"

Songxue shook her head: "No, I don't know him."

"So there is an idea to solve the case?"

This time, instead of shaking her head, she said, "I'm not sure either."

Liu Sheng waited for a while, watching Songxue bought a portion of meatballs, stuck them with a bamboo skewer, and swallowed them whole.

"Don't worry, there is plenty of time," he said.

"No, I think I should finish eating earlier. When I get to your house, I can almost have lunch." She nodded solemnly, "Well, just right."

"..."

"Would you like to try it?" She pointed to the unused bamboo stick next to it.

"no need."

Liu Sheng's house is indeed very close. Within a 10-minute walk in the residential area, he pointed to a building diagonally opposite, with only the faintly visible eaves: "It's over there."

Both of them slowed down, Songxue was roughly estimating the distance when he suddenly heard him ask: "Aren't you going to tell me?"

"say what?"

"Clues." Liu Sheng pushed his glasses and remained calm, "If you encounter a bottleneck, I think proper communication will be more helpful."

"That's right, I wanted to discuss it with you..." She was a little distressed, "But I can't explain this to you."

In the ward at that time, in the middle of the talk, Yagyu left early in order to take care of the emotions of the two, and missed the second half-she could see everyone's "death scene".

If you say it suddenly now, it will be hard for people to believe it, right?

Songxue sighed.

"Is it complicated?"

"It's not a complicated or simple question, but," Songxue paused, "similar to intuition? I don't know how to say it. You also know that it makes no sense to rely on intuition to solve a case."

Liu Sheng nodded understandingly: "Then continue to follow the clues, but pay attention to safety."

"I know," she assured, "never go unsupervised when no one is around."

……

The Liusheng family seemed accustomed to Songxue's arrival, as if Liusheng had said about her amnesia, so she was pulled over by his enthusiastic mother to greet her for a long time.

Liu Sheng kept silent at home, while sending her a message on his mobile phone: You should be lucky, my sister went to summer camp.

"..."

Songxue replied: Very good, everyone in your family is very enthusiastic.

After the meal, Liu Sheng took out the notebook from his bag and put it on the coffee table in the living room. The elders immediately understood, and either went into the study room or went up to the second floor, leaving them a quiet space.

Songxue sat down and leaned over to read the words on the paper.

This is what he copied from Liu, and besides that, he also made some personal notes.

After sharing the information she gained two days ago with Liu Sheng, she sorted out a new record.

Yukimura was the first to be included in the exclusion list, followed by Marui Bunta, Sanada...

"He confessed frankly that he had 10 minutes of free time, which I think is true, because he doesn't look like he has a ghost in his heart." Songxue said so.

It should be said that even if there are ghosts and gods passing by, this deputy minister who looks fierce like a door god will be scared away by him.

Yagyu also agreed: "Although Sanada usually has a bad temper, he is only strict with the team members, and he is more...gentle when it comes to girls."

"Well, it seems to be a bit hard on the opposite sex." She said.

The two exchanged glances at the same time, and finally Liu Sheng didn't hold back, and the corners of his lips slightly raised: "That's true."

"Student Jackal doesn't seem to be very familiar with those girls, I don't think there is any entanglement between them." Songxue continued, "And he is very friendly to everyone, not too suspicious."

"I'm familiar with Nioh," Yagyu continued. "Based on his character, I'm inclined to hide in the shade of the devil's tree and go lazily as soon as he finishes the training match. It’s enough to make up for the amount of training.”

She nodded and moved the tip of her pen to the next name.

"Liu Jun, this information is basically provided by him. Only by observing everyone's training in the tennis club can we come up with such an accurate record."

"That's right." Willow replied.

"The last one is the first grader, Chiya Kirihara." Songxue looked at it for a while, and asked uncertainly, "I heard that his personality is a little... out of control?"

"When playing tennis." Liu Sheng pushed his glasses, slightly uncomfortable, "But with Liu supervising him, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Um……"

Perhaps seeing her dubious look, Liu Sheng sighed: "You should have heard some rumors, since that's the case, I can only talk about my personal opinion."

Songxue nodded obediently: "Please."

"It is true that he has hurt opponents on the court, many times." His expression was very serious, "that uncontrolled state, we call it 'demonization', but, one time later, he was on the court. Inspired by the opponent to another diametrically opposite state—"

"Is it an angel?" She commented, the slot is a bit big.

Liu Sheng sighed: "Let's say that's the case. After that, his situation has improved a lot, and he didn't go through violence again before he entered high school."

"...don't quite understand you tennis players."

"In my opinion," he continued, "Akira Kirihara may attack his opponent on the court and get bruised and bruised, but he will definitely not do similar behavior off the court."

Songxue looked at him, and after a while, she nodded slowly: "Well, to sum it up, although he might be a badass player, he's still a good boy?"

"..."

After a while, Liu Sheng said: "Actually, there is also me, and there is no alibi either."

"I know, you found a place with no people during the break - anywhere is fine, it doesn't matter - to watch Mrs. Bai Ye's "The Werewolf Game"." She waved her hand impatiently, "That's a good guess. "

"Sure enough, you guessed it." Liu Sheng sighed in frustration, and then asked, "What are your future plans?"

"I want to go to Yukimura-kun." Songxue said without thinking, "Just in case, I want to find out what he is thinking, or what scruples he has... I don't want to be misled inexplicably again."

but--

"However," Liu Sheng said, the mirror reflected slightly, "the situation in his family is a bit complicated."

"I thought so too." She sighed.

Liu Sheng glanced at his watch: "I can take you there this afternoon, their butler recognizes me."

"If your Minister Yukimura is not very cooperative, will you help me?" Songxue raised his head and asked seriously, "Which side are you on?"

"Of course it's the side of justice and truth." He replied meticulously.

"That's my side." Songxue said briskly, "Right."

- "SEER".

At that moment, the word flashed through her mind.

Prophet, Prophet, Syl...

That day, she finally understood the meaning of the name that Xingcheng Kong said.
