54.

"It was thanks to you that I was able to get the license to open the business." Mori Ogai smiled, "This may be the big event that happened to you that you want to know."

Xuezhi stopped talking immediately, and listened to what Mori Ogai said with all his attention.

"Four years ago, the sword of Damocles of Zhou Fangzun, the third king of red, almost fell. You must know about this."

Xuezhi nodded, she had talked about this matter with Zhou Fangzun in Mount Gaowei some time ago.

Mori Ogai seems to be lost in memory: "At that time, you found me through Fukuzawa Yukichi and invited me to solve the hidden danger of the Sword of Damocles."

"At first I thought you were dreaming, an ordinary person, delusionally trying to solve problems that no one can solve."

Hearing what he said, Xuezhi froze.

She never imagined that she would try to do such a thing.

17 years ago, when the sword of Damocles, which the previous Red King Kaguzu suggested was about to fall, the government made a full-scale mobilization, but it still failed to stop it.

The end result was nothing more than avoiding the worst possible outcome.

The sword of Damocles fell, and Kagutsu Xuan died. The casualties caused by the falling sword were about 70 people, which was one-tenth of the original estimate of [-].

It was tragic, but that was the limit of what could be done at the time.

"What did I do?" Xuezhi couldn't wait to know.

Mori Ogai didn't hold back, and continued: "I didn't intend to get involved in children's play games. That's right, children's play games, I really thought so at the time."

"But the conditions you put forward are really tempting. The port mafia doesn't need to do too much, but the trophy is a license to open with special abilities, so I didn't directly refuse."

"That was really a correct decision." Mori Ogai sighed, "Later, more and more organizations were drawn into your group. The most powerful consortiums, Hounds, Ability Secret Service, Scepter4... and even the old The old-fashioned king of gold and the indifferent king of silver."

"I don't know how you did it, but you know the final result, you succeeded."

"You have to investigate the big event you did, and I don't think there is anything bigger than this one."

"Although I don't remember." Xuezhi shook his head: "But I'm just an ordinary person. Even if it works, it's just a lip service. It's you who really made it happen."

"Whether you admit it or not. You are indeed one of the major contributors to that incident."

Mori Ogai stopped her self-effacing: "That's all I have to say. So, goodbye."

Xuezhi looked at his leaving back, and finally remembered why she thought he looked familiar.

He appeared in the memory flashback of the Akashi family banquet before.It's just that at that time, he was wearing a ponytail, a red scarf, a black suit and a black windbreaker, and his image was much more energetic than now.

However, when we met just now, Mori Ogai said words that would only be used when meeting someone for the first time, such as long-awaited daimyo, rather than long time no see.

"Wait!" Xuezhi hurriedly called Mori Ogai, "Mr. Mori, have we met before?"

"No..." Mori Ogai said with his back turned to her, "Although I knew about Miss Asahina's existence for a long time, it's just the first time I met her, isn't it a pity?"

Xuezhi didn't know how to answer these words.

After Mori Ogai finished speaking, seeing that she had nothing else to do, he didn't stay any longer.

His figure quickly disappeared into the alley.

Leaving Xuezhi meditating amidst the light and shadow: "Is what he said true?"

She asked, but no one could tell her the answer.

At least not now.

-

After separating from Mori Ogai, before returning to Tokyo, Yukie wanted to meet Nakahara Chuya, but found that he could not be contacted either.

It was Fukuzawa Yukichi who called her to report that she was safe.

From the sound of the phone, Fukuzawa Yukichi seemed to be very busy, and after confirming that she had no special emergency, she hung up the phone in a hurry.

"Are you all so busy?" Xuezhi muttered while looking at the call duration displayed on the phone.

She was inexplicably worried, and felt that something important was brewing.

"This is the world of supernatural beings." Xuezhi sighed.

She wants to solve the mystery of her body as soon as possible, if everything goes as smoothly as she thought.

But there is a saying that flags cannot be set up randomly, otherwise the consequences will be serious.

At this time, Xuezhi had a personal experience of this sentence.

"I don't think I need to be hospitalized..." said Xuezhi who was pressed on the hospital bed by Yachen.

Yachen rarely put on a serious expression: "I'm a doctor, I have the final say."

Xuezhi looked at the white coat on his body, then at the logo on the white coat, and couldn't help saying, "But Yachen, you are not a doctor in this hospital."

Yachen looked at her with a complicated expression: "Well, I'm not a doctor in this hospital. Why do you think I appeared in this hospital wearing a white coat from another hospital?"

Xuezhi lowered her head with a guilty conscience: "Because I had a car accident."

She also didn't expect that, as a ten-year-old driver, she would have a car accident on the road from Yokohama back to Tokyo countless times.

The main reason is that she didn't expect that when she was driving, she would encounter the situation where the memories she encountered at the banquet at Akashi's house suddenly came back to life.

A lot of information was revealed in Mori Ogai's remarks.

Most of them, for example, she found Mori Ogai through Fukuzawa Yukichi.For example, she joined many organizations vertically and horizontally, and these things were things that she didn't have in her original memory.

But after hearing Mori Ogai's words, Yukie gradually remembered.For example, she is sitting in front of the computer, and the memory of a certain chat room is displayed on the screen;

For example, the memory of her calling Mori Ogai; for example, the memory of her standing on the rooftop and being picked up by the flying boat.

Unfortunately, she was driving when the memory came back.And distracted by the sudden memory, when he was about to hit the vehicle in front, he made a sharp turn and hit the fence and big tree on the side of the road.

Then she was hit with a concussion and was in a trance. She was sent to a nearby hospital by kind passers-by, and her family was notified.

Yachen was the closest, and when he heard the news of Xuezhi's car accident, he rushed over without even changing his clothes.

Xuezhi's diagnosis was a mild concussion. When Yachen arrived, she had already regained consciousness and had a checkup. There was nothing wrong with it.

She was going to be discharged from the hospital, but Yachen put her on the hospital bed and asked him to stay in the hospital for observation for at least two days.

Xuezhi: ...

"But, I checked just now, there is no problem at all, it's just a slight concussion." Xuezhi tried to convince Yachen, "There's no need to be hospitalized, right?"

Yachen said he would not listen: "When You Jing and the others come, you can ask them if they agree."

Xuezhi: ...

That's why she doesn't want to be hospitalized, because once she is, her ward will be filled with worried brothers.

Although it was a pleasure to be cared about by her younger brothers, she didn't want them to worry.

Of course, I really can't bear the eyes of my younger brothers who are full of distress, worry, blame, self-blame and other emotions.

Yachen's stern appearance, rarely seen in the past few years, made Xuezhi desperate to be discharged from the hospital.

I can only hope that my younger brothers can relax a little when they see that she is fine.

Thinking this way, Xuezhi resolutely refused the request to change into a hospital gown.

Even if she had to be changed in the hospital, she had to wait until her younger brothers confirmed that she was really all right before changing.

Once she puts on the hospital gown, it is easy to give people the feeling that she is injured, and the injury is not serious.

Brothers will be scared.

Xuezhi thought so, and then welcomed her younger brothers who felt that she was seriously injured even if she hadn't changed into a hospital gown.

Especially her seventh younger brother, Nazao Asahina.

He firmly believed that if it wasn't for going to Kuanzheng University to see him, his sister would never have had a car accident.

No matter what Xuezhi told him, she was going to Yokohama on business, and the car accident happened only after returning from Yokohama to Tokyo, and it had nothing to do with him, but he still couldn't stop the self-blame in his heart.

In the end, it was his two triplet brothers Tsubaki and Azusa who comforted him while making jokes, which made him recover a little bit.

-

In addition to the worries of the younger brothers, the hospitalization also triggered another thing that made Xuezhi feel a little helpless.

From the afternoon of the hospitalization, people came to visit her one after another.

Xuezhi was of course very happy to receive the concern from her friends.

But when they came to visit her, they wouldn't make an appointment, who would come first, there would always be a few people who accidentally met in Xuezhi's ward.

Xuezhi herself doesn't think there is anything, they are all her friends, even if they don't know each other, they will know each other later.

But her friends don't seem to think so.

At first, Xuezhi didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.

Yukimura Seiichi was the first to rush to the hospital to visit her besides her younger brothers.

Xuezhi didn't know who sent him the news.

It was about the time when Yukimura Seiichi walked into the ward knowing that there was nothing serious about her.Although he was worried, he was not as anxious and panicked as his younger brothers.

He even brought calla lily bouquets and fruit baskets.

After confirming that Xuezhi was fine, Yukimura Seichi did not leave in a hurry, saying that he was afraid that Xuezhi would be bored, so he sat on the stool next to the hospital bed to chat with her.

Asahina, who is accompanying the bed, wants to: If you co-author it, you will pretend that I don't exist?

Asahina rolled her eyes vaguely, turned around to pour water for her sister, and sent a message to Akashi-senpai by the way.

Don't think he didn't know that it was Kiori who passed the news to Yukimura Seiichi.

Since the younger brother can pass on news, so can the older brother.

The senior is much more reliable than this black-bellied painter.

It's just that Akashi Seijuro has just taken over the consortium, and he is probably very busy. Before his arrival, Asahina wants to wait for another stinky man who covets her sister.

"Bam—"

The door of the ward was pushed open with a strong force.

Flame-like red hair fits the rushy behavior of the visitor.

The air pressure in Zhou Fangzun's body was astonishingly low. He stood at the door, his eyes fixed on Xuezhi lying on the hospital bed, and his panic could not be concealed.

He was relieved until he confirmed that Xuezhi was still healthy and nothing happened.

Then he saw Yukimura Seiichi sitting by the bed talking and laughing with Yukie.

Zhou Fangzun looked at Yukimura Seiichi, who he had seen in Mount Takao before, with sharp eyes, and behind him was a blazing flame.

Yukimura Seiichi looked at him without giving in, and there seemed to be thousands of lilies blooming behind the gentle smile.

Xuezhi didn't notice the undercurrent between the two men, she was a little surprised when she saw Zhou Fangzun: "Zun? You're here!"

She was trying to find him.
