Protect our prophets

Yukimura Seiichi is really a powerful person.

He quickly calmed down and asked, "Isn't this a curse similar to a personal attack?"

"I probably, maybe, shouldn't be so boring." Songxue said.

Yukimura: "...Really."

Liu Sheng gave her a suspicious look.

"Maybe it's just because I just woke up, I have some kind of illusion?" He proposed a more scientific explanation.

Songxue tapped her temple, and the old god replied, "It's normal if you don't believe it, and I doubt it too."

"Then you are too calm." There was a hint of sincere admiration in Yukimura's tone.

"well enough."

"will not."

Her and Yagyu's voices intersected, and they glanced at each other.

"I don't think I've told you yet," Yagyu said unhurriedly, "We used to be members of the Orient Express Association. If you still have a little impression—our association went to see the Orient Express together last weekend." A new murder movie? Theoretically, the bloody scenes you see are likely to come from previous movie memories."

"Orient Express Association", the name is clear at a glance, and the nature is known at a glance.Loyal fans of mystery novels are indeed less likely to be frightened by a simple bloody picture.

Yukimura nodded, and was slightly puzzled: "Does our school have such a club?"

"It's an off-campus, online fan organization I met through blogging." Liu Sheng explained plainly.

Both looked at him together.

"I think you know more." Songxue was very determined. "Then, Yagyu-kun, who am I?"

Liu Shengbi Lu Shi nodded to them modestly: "Actually, there are not many, but it should be more than others. Because, before your parents left, they asked our family to take care of them."

"my parents?"

Songxue sighed, but her eyes lit up, feeling a little relieved.

Well, at least she wasn't an orphan with both parents dead.Too many elements can suffocate people.

"I'm not very clear about the affairs of my father's generation. I only know that my father and Mr. Matsuyuki used to be old acquaintances." Liu Sheng hesitated and said uncertainly.

"Their jobs are very special and confidential. My father told me so--I thought they were criminal police, but it didn't seem like they were. Five years ago, you followed your parents to Kanagawa to settle down. Two years ago, they They left suddenly, saying that they were notified by relevant departments to go abroad to carry out secret missions..."

"Relevant departments," Songxue repeated, commenting with great interest, "It's so mysterious, I think, they shouldn't be employees of the Department of Mysteries, right?"

Liu Sheng seemed to have remembered something, and smiled slightly: "You complained like that before."

"As for the rest—" Yagyu said, looking at Yukimura.

The two exchanged glances, Liu Sheng stood up first, and said simply: "It may not be convenient for me to be here, so I'll wait outside first."

He walked out of the ward neatly, closed the door for them, and left space for the young couple who broke up—even though Songxue still doubted the authenticity of this matter.

The so-called ex met, extremely jealous.

After a short period of embarrassment, Song Xue decided to bravely face the reality and the mistakes that may have occurred in the past.

"You said before that I pestered you—"

She looked at Yukimura hesitantly.

Well, to be honest, she kind of couldn't figure it out.The instinctive shame made her unwilling to admit this "not in memory" thing.

The other party's eyes flickered slightly.

"Sorry," he said without warning, "I regret it now, maybe I shouldn't have involved you. It was never my intention to hurt you like this."

"Oh, a car accident." Songxue took a sip of water absently, "You haven't explained exactly what happened."

"You woke up after lying in the hospital for two days, and the results of the scene have come out. The police investigation said it was an accident." Yukimura's expression was a little dignified, "But the most critical surveillance camera just happened to break down, and the pictures captured were blurry and not Incomplete, makes me a little skeptical..."

It may have been premeditated.He whispered his conjecture, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"It's also possible that I'm being too sensitive. That's why I found you—"

"Cough." Songxue interrupted him tactfully, "Can you speak some simple, understandable Japanese?"

Yukimura nodded kindly, thought for a while before saying, "We haven't dated before."

Things are finally starting to clear up.

Songxue breathed a sigh of relief, she realized that she was not very surprised.Maybe it's because when she heard him trying to call her name just now, the tone was too unfamiliar, which made her feel very unnatural.

"So, why—" She unfolded her rich imagination and became more and more enthusiastic, "Don't tell me that your father started to urge marriage and love at this age, forcing you to find a fake girlfriend to deal with it?"

"That's not it."

"Oh, that's because Yukimura-kun is too popular in school. In order to reject all suitors in one go, he wants to find a shield."

"..."

"……Um??"

This time, Yukimura was silent.

Songxue gasped: It's over, did she guess right?

Unbelievable!

When she was an elementary school chick, she loved to write this kind of plot...but it was a popular routine at least ten years ago!It's still not out of date? !

Songxue shook her head in amazement.

Maybe it's because she can't understand the way of thinking of straight men?Indeed, they may still be stuck ten years ago.

"The older the routine, the more effective it is." Yukimura was not annoyed by her, and still replied with a good temper.A slight smile appeared on his face, but it quickly faded, "However, it's not entirely because of this."

"Is it going around in circles like this?" Song Xue felt a little shocked in her heart.

She may have underestimated the ability of these high school students to create bloody scripts.

Alas, but well, she doesn't seem to be qualified to say that... After all, she has been making up fancy scripts since ten years ago.

Thinking of the past dark history, Matsuxue averted her eyes slightly ashamed, staring at the vase by the bed for a while, until Yukimura continued to talk, drawing her attention back.

"First of all, I want to find a partner who can help me." Yukimura simply explained, "Yagyu recommended you to me, he said that you are very similar to you, and you are better at seeing the truth from chaotic things-now that you think about it, maybe It’s because of your common hobbies.”

Songxue said calmly: "It seems reasonable."

"We chatted for a while, you accepted my proposal, and then we started to contact at school... It was about a week after we confirmed the 'relationship', and then half a month ago I proposed to break up, about less than a month."

"It seems to be normal." Songxue nodded, suddenly puzzled, "So what's the problem? No one died or disappeared, and the school hasn't dug up many years old corpses - there is no room for my hobby at all? "

To bear the jealousy of so many boys and girls for him for nothing, really...

Songxue thought sadly, this is really unfair.

"I thought your thoughts were a bit exaggerated at first. Although I asked you for help, I didn't really think it was a murder." Yukimura said thoughtfully, smiling at her apologetically, "But now, Matsuyuki Classmate—take a good look at yourself, isn't there a 'dead' who was almost murdered?"

She froze slightly.

"And what you said just now, waking up and seeing me... In a sense, it further confirms this possibility." He frowned slightly, "If you don't mind, can you explain it more clearly?"

Matsuxue stated mechanically: "I saw Yukimura-kun lying on the ground like a corpse, with blood all over his body."

"Where's the murder weapon? Is there such a thing?"

"There is a knife." She observed the other person's face calmly, and continued after confirming that she was safe. "It was stuck in the chest, near the left chest, but not where the heart was—"

Her memory was good, and she was almost sure of it: "The hilt is white, with a light blue pattern around it."

If she saw it again, she would definitely recognize it.

— The premise is that something really happens.

Yukimura sat there silently, and after a while, he calmly said, "So, what about the others?"

Songxue shifted her gaze, looked at the little bird flying by outside the window, and said dryly, "You discovered it."

"You didn't particularly hide it either." Yukimura reminded.

"Nonsense, I've tried my best to hide it." She sighed.

"Yes, the first second I opened my eyes, I saw a pile of dead bodies beside my bed."

Yukimura looked at her with a very sympathetic expression.

"It must be terrible, right?"

"Yeah, who would really want murders to appear in places other than novels and movies?" Songxue shrugged, "I heard from Liu Sheng-kun that my dad might be a criminal policeman, and he certainly wouldn't want such a thing to happen. of."

She rethought the conversation between the two of them.

"Yukimura-kun," she said while thinking, "you haven't told me the real reason why you asked me for help."

Yukimura's soft purple eyes dimmed slightly.

"I don't have any actual evidence." He said slowly, "It's just a weird feeling—I found you, and then, everything happened."

He began to report a series of time points.

On a certain day in a certain month, Song Xueguang received a threatening letter, which was written in crooked red paint.That was the second day of their "dating".

In art class three days later, her deskmate found that her paint box was missing.

"So, it's like I directed and acted on my own?" Songxue interrupted.

A week later, Yuko Matsumoto, captain of the support team, found their support items missing.

There are only three keys to the club office where aid items are stored, one is in her hands, one is kept by the teacher, and the last one is handed over to the head of the tennis department—there is no supervisory teacher in their tennis department, and Yukimura is in charge of everything.

During the rest of the time, there were some other trivial things like this. Songxue sorted it out and found that all of them could be related to herself.

When she interacted with the head of the tennis department, she had the opportunity to take away the keys, and then destroyed the supporting objects of the support team, embarrassing them.

The motivation is also simple, because the backup team has a close relationship with the tennis club, and there was a scandal between that beautiful Matsumoto classmate and Yukimura...

"Let's talk about after the breakup." Songxue's heart was as calm as still water, "Oh right, why did you break up with me?"

"Because during that time, there were a lot of gossips against you," Yukimura shook his head, "That's what I was about to say. Of course I won't believe these endless slanders, but..."

Under Songxue's curious gaze, he seemed to be having a hard time, and after a while he said, "But I did that."

She tilted her head and looked at him, blinking her eyes without reacting for a moment.

"It seems to be dominated by some kind of force." When Yukimura said this, there was a slight embarrassment on his face, "Then, he did something very irrational..."

"But you are quite normal now." Songxue tilted her head.

"Well, it's like this when it's just the two of us." He pondered, "But once there are outsiders present—even if it's Yagyu, even though I'd like to believe him, just in case, I still have to treat them equally— —There will always be some uncontrollable behavior.”

Yukimura sighed slightly: "Perhaps you have also noticed that when everyone was present just now, I have been controlling myself to talk less."

Under his guidance, Songxue recalled a bit.

An hour ago, what impressed her the most was that everyone, including Liu Sheng, had no good looks towards her, and the indifference on her face was completely real.She thought he was a double-faced man with rich acting skills...

Maybe she was wrong about the other party.

"What about after we broke up?"

"A lot happened." Yukimura replied quickly, "You ran to the tennis club during practice time, grabbed my teammates and cried, had an argument with a girl from the support team during recess, and threw her pencil case out the window , and things like this..."

Songxue understood that this was the reason why her reputation among her classmates plummeted.

"It seems that I was also affected."

Yukimura shook his head and said he didn't know: "I didn't know if you were acting at the time, because it was difficult for me to find opportunities to contact you around during that time. Then, this weekend, when you went out alone on the street, you were caught A speeding unlicensed vehicle hit—"

In this way, it is not just an ordinary campus dispute.

Songxue sighed, if it was just a jealous dispute between girls, how could it rise to the level of causing a car accident and pretending to be an accident?This is murder.

She took a moment to digest the information, and looked up to meet Yukimura's eyes.

After a while, Songxue nodded solemnly and said, "I now believe that my parents may really work in the Department of Mysteries. Oh, by the way, did you see owls flying all over the sky before you went to junior high school?"

"...If there is, I would be very happy." Yukimura replied very disappointedly.

"I think so." She showed a regretful expression.

When Yukimura got up to say goodbye, the two of them hadn't come up with a perfect solution yet.

"Let's see the trick." Songxue said generously, "If someone really wants to harm me, she——sorry, I was misled, it may be him, and she will definitely do it again."

That would be troublesome.Yukimura frowned disapprovingly.

"Then, I have to remind you to be more careful." Yukimura paused and said, "Maybe, and myself."

He didn't forget what Songxue "saw", and his mood sank slightly.

"After today, I will still keep my distance from you as before." He changed the topic, "But if you encounter any urgent matters—please contact me immediately, and if you can't reach me, please tell Liu Sheng. Okay? In turn, if I find anything, I'll let you know as soon as possible."

"Perhaps you need to remind those friends around you." Songxue half-jokingly mentioned.

"I hope I'm thinking too much." Yukimura also smiled gently.

"Then, happy cooperation."

Songxue held his outstretched hand: "After the matter is over, the client must make up for my spiritual loss."

"Money is not a problem." Yukimura said, "I paid for your medical expenses."

"...Ah, this."

……

Before he left, he glanced back subconsciously.

Songxue looked out of the window with her chin resting on her face, her expression was quiet, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on her reddish-brown hair, making her look softer and more peaceful.She has a pair of attractive green eyes, which are just inherited from some exotic blood, and she looks no different from ordinary people.But what did those eyes see?

He thought, if only...
