Because I'm too afraid of pain, it's worth all the looks

Melvin saw her staring at a certain place in a daze, and asked, "What is Miss Oda looking at? She seems to be looking very seriously."

Ming Qiu came back to his senses, shook his head lightly and said, "It's nothing." In order to avoid the topic and return to the matter just now, Ming Qiu said, "Mr. Melvin's magic circuit is very accurate, right? I just need to stand You can feel it here.”

Melvin asked curiously, "Feel?"

Ming Qiu spread his hands and said, "I'm not a magician. I can use my perception to explain this situation because of the magic dress on my body."

Melvin blinked in surprise, and said, "Is it a mimetic magic dress? Are you wearing it now? You can't tell it at all."

Ming Qiu held her cheek and said, "It's true, otherwise I wouldn't be wearing the clothes that Mr. Melvin gave me, it's too revealing."

Since the first emperor left, she never took off this magic dress for safety.

Melvin rubbed his chin and said, "I can't make up [-] million US dollars, and Ms. Oda should have expected this, but I have a suggestion now, why don't you use this magic trick on you?" If the dress is exchanged for cash, it must be worth a fortune."

Ming Qiu immediately refused: "This magic dress is a gift from someone else, it means a lot to me, so it's not allowed."

Melvin showed a helpless expression, and said: "Then I have nothing to do. But if Ms. Oda needs it, I should still be able to lend you [-] million US dollars."

Ming Qiu sighed, and said: "Actually, there is another trick, but I don't want to do it unless it is absolutely necessary."

Melvin's curiosity was aroused, and Xun asked, "What way?"

"Christmas Eve and Christmas are very important to Westerners, right? And choosing such a luxurious hotel to hold banquets and auctions means that there are also senior people from the Clock Tower to attend." Ming Qiu blinked her beautiful eyes that were harmless to humans and animals. , opened the mouth and said: "Use London's spiritual veins as a bet, if you can't give me the blank doll, I will drain London's spiritual veins."

Melvin, who was shocked by this terrible plan: "...Huh?"

Ming Qiu nodded seriously, "Use the magic dress on me."

Although her body may not be able to bear a large amount of magic power flowing back and forth on her body now, if there is no other way, she can only do so.

More importantly, when she recently read books related to the third method, she vaguely realized how to use her "key". Write down your "wish" in a book.

But if it fails, it should be a complete death of itself, and maybe it will be eliminated together with the soul.

So unless it is absolutely necessary, Mingqiu does not plan to rely on himself to try for the time being, let alone use others to experiment, but tonight may be a good opportunity. The attacks of these magicians have a chance to touch the "book" when they are dying.

After all, London's spiritual veins are strong enough. If you can't find the "book" before you die, it's also a good choice to rely on the spiritual veins here to resurrect. At the same time, you might be able to use this to enter the clock tower, find a way to reshape your body, and stay away from Yokohama by the way that mess.

After a while, Melvin's eyes sparkled, and he said, "Miss Oda, I'm really interested in what's inside of you."

Ming Qiu: "..." This person is scary enough.

Thinking of this, Ming Qiu waved at Melvin and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

"I'll wait here with Webb."

Ming Qiu walked to the corner of the hall, gently lifted the hem of the skirt, and then walked along the corridor to the balcony.

If she read it right just now...

What the balcony faces is the garden of this manor-style hotel. Unfortunately, it is winter now, and there is no beautiful scenery to see, only the lonely snow falling from the tree branches by chance. Such a corner and the joy in the hall It is so different that people can't help but lighten their pace.

Ming Qiu stretched out her hand to put on the handrail of the balcony, looking at the misty scenery in the distance, the magic power flowed quietly on her body, making the winter night wind not so cold.

"Are you looking for me?"

Ming Qiu turned sideways slightly, and said, "They should have told you that the port mafia is paying attention to your recent activities, right?"

Osamu Dazai was wearing the waiter's clothes, and said with a smile: "I did tell you, but these are not so important compared to Qiu's affairs."

"If caught..."

"If I'm really caught, it's probably my fate." Osamu Dazai saw her frowning slightly, and said, "But I won't be caught so easily. Will you come to my rescue?"

"No." Ming Qiu put his hands down in front of his body, and said, "The Esoteric Secret Service Division has transferred you away from me, right? Why do you still come here in London?"

"Even a handyman like me has holidays." Dazai Osamu said quite naturally, "Didn't Qiu also go out to play during the Christmas holiday?"

Sophistry again...

Ming Qiu took a step forward and asked, "Then why did you come here? Or dressed as a waiter—"

Osamu Dazai said seriously, "I'm working part-time."

Ming Qiu: "..."

The purpose of coming out on vacation is to work. There may be a real possibility for others to say such words, but the bandage man in front of him forgets.

With his hands behind his back, Ming Qiu approached him slightly with his upper body, and said emphatically, "Mr. Dazai, don't follow me anymore."

The current situation is not as simple as before, and the organization in Tokyo is watching. No matter how rare Dazai Osamu's ability is, it is useless when facing live ammunition. Injuries are inevitable. She Don't want to see this man die.

Not long after the day of the full moon passed, the moonlight was still bright and clear, falling on her back, outlining a beautiful arc of cold white for her, coupled with the pure white dress, just like the goddess of the moon palace descending.

Osamu Dazai asked in a joking tone, "Could it be that Qiu is worried that I will be entangled by misfortune?"

Ming Qiu was slightly taken aback, and realized that the other party most likely wanted to make him angry, so he said, "That's right."

Although it is true, I want to take this opportunity to make the other party speechless... Anyway, I don't know what the result will be after tonight, maybe she disappeared completely, so it's good to speak clearly before leaving.

Now the irrefutable person became Osamu Dazai. He showed a somewhat passive expression that could not be resisted, and just softly uttered a single syllable, and then took a step back cautiously, "Huh?"

Such an expression may have appeared on Dazai Osamu's face before, but only this time, Ming Qiu saw it so clearly.

This kind of expression made Ming Qiu instinctively feel happy. For the first time, she had the feeling of taking the initiative to control something. She couldn't help getting closer to Osamu Dazai, as if she was full of curiosity about the stranger who broke into her world. small animals.

Ming Qiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "That's because you are a stranger—if it's Xiaozhijiang, Weber, Chong, or Mr. Melvin just now, I don't have to feel sorry or anything. Because it is 'us' that can be shared."

She also probably understands why Osamu Dazai always liked to play pranks on her before, seeing that the other party cares about her so much, no matter what the method is, it gives people the pleasure of being in control.

Osamu Dazai seemed to be caught without a fight, and echoed: "It is indeed so."

envy?dissatisfied?anger?disgust?

No, it's sadness.

Ming Qiu froze in place, and after a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Is that all? Mr. Coward?"

This sentence seems a little redundant. How could Mr. Coward confide his true feelings in front of her?

The two of them quietly listened to the wind in the winter night until the cold wind slammed the glass door shut.

Compared to these, the panic of not knowing what the other party will answer immediately surged. Will the next words be an answer that makes her even more disappointed?

So Ming Qiu stretched out his hand first, grabbed the handle of the balcony door, and said, "I'm going back."

She stretched out her hand to pull the door but failed to open it. She suddenly realized that it was the wind that had locked the door from the inside.

That means the two of them are trapped on the balcony.

Perhaps seeing her annoyed expression, Osamu Dazai laughed. Although the sound was not loud, it was still accurately caught by Ming Qiu.

Ming Qiu couldn't help stretching out his hand to pull his hair bun, and complained in a low voice: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come to the balcony..."

This is the corner of the banquet hall, most people are chatting enthusiastically amidst the intermingling of cups and toasts, I don't know when the waiter will notice this place.

Thinking of this, Ming Qiu, who was holding the balcony railing, noticed that there was a layer of clothes on her shoulders. She turned her head slightly, and Dazai Osamu was standing at the other end of the balcony, looking up at the desolate garden shrouded in moonlight, as if everything It had nothing to do with him, and it suited the poor winter night even more.

A thought suddenly popped up in Ming Qiu's mind.

It might be nice to be unlucky together.

"are not you cold?"

Osamu Dazai turned his head, his iris-colored eyes were more gentle under the moonlight, and the bloody feeling brought by the red tone was less.

"not cold."

Ming Qiu lowered his eyes, raised his hand to gently stroke the red gem around his neck, and then put his hand on his shoulder.

A warm breath began to linger between the two of them.

"Is this what the follower left behind?"

"Yeah." Ming Qiu stared at the blue gem tie around his collar, tried hard not to look at his expression at the moment, and said, "I can't help it, I'm a useless person. Even if it's something that others use to fight, when it arrives I can only do these useless things with my hands."

"Aki is not a person who is useless. Useless refers to a person who has no meaning to himself or others." Osamu Dazai affirmed: "Aki has meaning to many people."

Immediately after, Ming Qiu asked as if being forced, "Is it the same for you?"

Osamu Dazai thought for a moment, then gently held her wrist, let her hand rest on his chest, and said, "Is this answer enough?"

The other party's heart was beating steadily. On the other hand, if Ming Qiu wanted to hurt him, he only needed to curl up his thumb, then simply chant in his heart and activate gandr.

Ming Qiu was slightly taken aback, looked into his iris-colored eyes, and didn't speak.

The person in front of him is watching her and being watched by her, this feeling is even more precious to Ming Qiu, as if the cold is dispelled by it.

Suddenly, her face became hot uncontrollably. Even if she didn't look in the mirror, Ming Qiu could guess that her face was gradually turning red. She whispered, "It's weird."

Osamu Dazai seemed to be in a very happy mood, and he said easily, "Just now I thought it was Qiu who invited me to dance. After all, I am such an excellent student. I can learn dance steps with just one dance. I can't wait to show it off." normal."

Ming Qiu groaned, and said: "It sounds like I'm jealous, the first dance was not with you, Mr. Passerby."

With a little complacency, Osamu Dazai said leisurely: "No need, I have already ensured my own safety just now."

As proud as the director has mastered the script.

Ming Qiu snorted in his heart, then turned his head to look at the distant scenery.

The moonlight is so beautiful tonight.

This moonlight is like the last tenderness this world gave her, but I don't know if I can see such a scenery tomorrow night.

After a while, Osamu Dazai said, "Qiu, let's jump off the building together."

When he said this, Ming Qiu immediately thought of the "heart" incident that Xinyi said before, and refused: "I don't want it, I won't fall to my death, but if there is a corpse next to it, it will affect my mood."

Osamu Dazai seemed to have noticed something, and said: "If Qiu wants to ask me to die in love, it is not impossible, I welcome it."

Ming Qiu: "..." How did this person's brain circuit grow?

"But it's not now. For such a solemn matter, let's make another appointment." Osamu Dazai supported the railing and said, "Now let's jump off and escape from this balcony together."

"Are you an idiot?" Ming Qiu couldn't bear it anymore and said with disgust: "This is the second floor, so even if you don't fall to your death, you will be injured. I don't want to waste my magic power to save someone like you who takes the initiative to die."

Dazai Zhizhi said naturally: "Can't Qiu turn mercury into silk thread? Isn't it enough to tie one end on the balcony and the other end on us?"

Ming Qiu instinctively touched his ring and said, "I have other uses for this."

Osamu Dazai took the ring from her hand and put it in his pocket, apparently not intending to return it to her.

Ming Qiu said in a panic: "Wait a minute. This is me..."

Osamu Dazai raised his index finger, "No matter what kind of plans Qiu has, everything is forbidden tonight. I don't want Qiu to disappear in front of me."

Ming Qiu met those eyes that knew everything, and was silent for a moment, then said, "If we don't need this mercury, what shall we do next?"

"I have it." Then, Osamu Dazai took out a small glass bottle from his pocket, which was filled with mercury, and he said with a smile, "I also put several buckets in the locker."

Ming Qiu: "..." Could it be that he had calculated all of these?
