I, Zhongli, wander the world

Children always like something with a strong secondary sense, and Zhong Yuanzhong, who also came from this age group, also understands it very well.

But when this kind of middle two comes from himself, he can't laugh.

"If you know it, you will know it." The mature male college student said while holding his forehead, "Remember not to mention it in front of others."

The child nodded with a serious face, "Secret matters? I understand."

"No... Forget it, you can do whatever you want."

Chuya Nakahara, who gave up communicating with children, brought him back to the detective agency.

Both detectives from the detective agency went on missions, and even the president went with him as the only force value, leaving only Akiko Yosano still.This made Zhongyuan Zhong also secretly heave a sigh of relief.

At least the risk of being known by such a shameful nickname is reduced.

The boy who came to the detective agency for the first time sat on the sofa obediently, and thanked Yosano Akiko politely for bringing the tea. Let touch in front of you.

Yosano Akiko put the tea tray in front of her mouth, leaned over to Chuya Nakahara and asked in a low voice, "How did such an obedient child get raised to run away from home?"

Zhongyuan Zhong also found the image of the street slugger from his long childhood memory, with a toothache-like expression on his face, and then thought that that guy can be regarded as a competent husband now, so he reluctantly left a few Save face, "Probably... it's just that the ideas don't match."

"Hey——" Yosano Akiko dragged out her voice, with an expression of "I know you're talking nonsense, but I'll give it a little credit" on his face.

Zhong Yuanzhong also coughed dryly, and quickly changed the subject: "Why hasn't the Mister come back yet?"

It has been nearly two hours since he received the call. If he took the Shinkansen faster, he should have arrived in Yokohama by now.

"Usually speaking, it should have arrived..." Yosano Akiko subconsciously glanced out of the window, and happened to see that familiar figure walking with another person.

"Ah, back."

Chanyuan Huiyuan paused for the hand that served tea and cakes, and quickly retracted it, even putting down the teacup in his hand, folded his arms on his chest, and put on a stern face with an "I'm very angry" look.

The pastry crumbs from the corners of his mouth were not wiped clean.

Yosano Akiko who has been secretly paying attention to the child's expression: Pfft.

One minute later, the door of the detective agency was pushed open, and someone's suppressed voice sounded in front of the door: "Learn to run away from home? Have you grown your skills?"

The stern-faced Zenyuan Huiyi turned his head away, "Smelly dad forbids me to be a magician, of course I can only find a way by myself."

"The conjurer is not your usual play house, don't think that you can be arrogant after awakening the conjuration!"

"I didn't take it seriously! I'm serious! The one who is really arrogant is you, Dad, who wants to settle everything by yourself!"

"Because I have the capital to settle everything, what do you know, you little brat! You should go home and drink milk obediently with that little three-legged cat kung fu!"

"It's not three-legged cat kung fu! Wu Wu said that my spells are the ten strongest shadow spells passed down by the Zenyuan family, and I can beat my father in the future!"

The case is solved, good Wujowu!

Zenyuan Shier swears that the stupidest thing he has ever done is to believe Wutiaowu's nonsense when the husband and wife have no time, and leave their son to him for a while!

The two Buddhist monasteries, one large and one small, came and quarreled with each other, and Zhongli, who brought the man back, sat down slowly on a chair a little far away, and took the hot tea handed over by Yosano Akiko.

Received the tray to the original location, and Yosano Akiko commented pertinently: "Although I have never met, the lady of the Zen Academy is really a remarkable woman."

Zhong Li recalled the woman who made the father and son docile, and nodded in agreement, "In terms of universal reason, it is indeed so."

Zhongyuan Zhong also drank tea and ate melons silently, and did not express any opinions on this.

Making tea with Xie Ye is very good, not to mention that the tea stems in his cup are standing up, drinking tea is more important than discussing how big the Chanyuan Shier is.

Unintentionally continuing the family topic in someone else's place, Zenyuan Shier grabbed his disobedient son by the back collar, picked him up like a chicken, and hung two jade dogs that were not at all defenseless on his strong arms, "In short , I'll take him back first, and I'll trouble Mr. Zhongli this time, and I owe you a favor."

"From my personal point of view, this small effort is not enough for Mr. Shi'er's favor. I just think that even if I say so, Mr. Shi'er will not take it back." Zhong Li put down his teacup, "Then, continue If you come down, it will be a gift."

"What?" Zenyuan Shier ignored his son's struggle and looked over in confusion.

"Don't underestimate any determination." Zhong Li said, "If his determination is already made, if he blindly blocks the way forward regardless of cause and effect, it may backfire."

Zenyuan Shier subconsciously glanced at the little boy in his hand when he heard the words, but saw his own son looking at him too.When the two looked at each other, the pair of black eyes similar to his eye type rolled their big white eyes, but they still looked at him firmly.

Zenyuan Shier: "... Tsk."

If possible, he really didn't want his family to be involved in the mess of the magic world.

His wife is just an ordinary person, and even a slightly stronger spell can bring danger.Although his son has awakened ten kinds of shadow spells, he is still just a second-year kid with unrealistic fantasies, and his future can be easily determined by the innocent reason of "wanting to help you".

It never occurred to him that Chanyuanhui's decision was not a child's whim.

Taking a deep breath, Zenyuan Shier solemnly said in his son's expectant eyes: "Thank you Mr. Zhongli for your suggestion, I will think it over—"

A weak air current was flowing in the detective agency at this time.

The complexions of Zenyuan Shier and Zhongyuan Zhongye changed at the same time.The tall man immediately protected the son he was carrying in his arms, and stepped back to the door in an instant.Nakahara Chuya stood up abruptly, covering Yosano Akiko behind him, and a red light representing supernatural powers lit up on his body.

Zhongli took a sip of tea calmly.

In the next second, the largest window of the detective agency shattered, and a curse spirit with a whole body like mud flew upside down through the broken window, followed by an extremely fast figure, knocking the curse spirit that had not yet landed to the ground. He stepped hard on the hard floor.

The scattered fragments were stopped by the vigorous Chanyuan Shier and the gravity's ability. Amidst the rising smoke, Chanyuan Shi'er watched the drop of the curse spirit vigilantly, and heard an eruption in the Central Plains over there. He shouted angrily: "Brother, what are you doing, brother!"

Verlaine, who rushed in chasing the curse spirit, also used his ability to stop all the smoke and dust, and gracefully brushed a few golden hairs that were blown off his temples by the wind, and said, "I saw this curse spirit lying on the detective's bed when I was passing by. Peeping in from the outer wall of the club, and doing it conveniently, you don't have to thank me, brother."

"Where did you hear that I am thanking you!"

The French man who went his own way quite naturally ignored his younger brother's accusation, and looked at Zhongli, the only one in the room who was emotionally stable: "Mr. Zhongli, what a coincidence."

"If we talk about the curse spirit, it can indeed be considered a coincidence." Zhongli said, "But Mr. Verlaine's visit to the detective agency today should not be by coincidence."

"You are really as sharp as ever." Verlaine bowed slightly, "After all, going to school will bring troubles to Zhongye. For the physical and mental health of those narrow-minded cubs, I can only go to the detective agency first. gone."

He said, ignoring Zhongya Nakahara's roar of "You are definitely Stoka", and waved his hand freely, "Then the little trouble is over, I'll go first."

Shi Shiran, the blond man who broke in through the window, left through the main entrance.

"What the hell is he here for..." Zhong Yuanzhong also pressed his face weakly.

"Then I'm leaving too." Zenyuan Shier stood up straight, but this time he didn't hold his son by the collar.Zenyuan Hui saw the softening of her father's attitude, and stood quietly by the side without making any more fuss.

"I'll take you out." Zhongli stood up.

The two of them walked all the way downstairs, Zenyuan Shier turned around, "Let's go here, Mr. Zhongli still has something to talk about, doesn't he?"

Not surprisingly, Zhongli, who was also noticed by Chanyuan Shier, said, "That's true, please trouble Mr. Chanyuan."

"I'm the one with the most troubles. I still have this self-knowledge, and this kind of thing is nothing compared to it." Chanyuan Shier grinned, and said a little jokingly, "But Mr. Zhongli will still use me. It's a little surprising when you leave this kind of thing as an excuse."

"It's human nature to act in a hurry, and I am no exception." Zhong Li said shaking his head.

Zen Yuanhui, who was standing aside, listened blankly to the interaction between the two adults, wondering if he had missed an episode.

His father didn't leave him time to think, after saying goodbye briefly, he took the child's hand and left.

Zhong Li came to the first floor of the office building.

The Armed Detective Agency isn't the only one renting this old red brick office building.Except for the detective agency that occupies the fourth floor and the warehouse on the top floor, the third floor is empty, the second floor is leased to a law firm, and the first floor is a recently opened coffee shop.

Zhongli pushed the door and walked into the coffee shop named "Vortex", and the brass wind chime hanging in front of the door suddenly made a pleasant sound with the push.The three-flowered cat that had been sitting cross-legged on the counter let out a pleasant cry, and turned over lazily.

Verlaine, who left the detective agency first, had already been waiting there.

"A cup of Flat White, the extraction time is a little shorter, so it's troublesome." Zhong Li said to the waiter who was waiting to order, and took a seat after the person left.

Verlaine put down the coffee he had just sipped, and said leisurely: "I didn't expect Mr. Zhongli to be so knowledgeable about coffee."

"But I know a thing or two, and it's only used to satisfy my personal appetite." Zhong Li looked at the skillful and aesthetically pleasing coffee making by the boss at the counter, and said, "Although this shop is opened in Japan, the manager's skills But it is not inferior to European orthodoxy, and should be in line with M. Verlaine's taste."

Verlaine, who is often taken to coffee by the authentic Frenchman Rimbaud in his spare time: "The technique is not bad, and it can be imported."

Such an evaluation is already a good meaning for him.

Immersed in the rich aroma of coffee, Zhong Li said, "Then, Mr. Verlaine, why did you drive that cursed spirit to the detective agency and invite me to talk alone?"

This is what Zhongli really meant when he said, "The curse spirit is a coincidence, but Verlaine is not a coincidence".

The appearance of the curse spirit may have been accidental, but it did not appear outside the detective agency, otherwise Zhongli and Chanyuan even just before entering the detective agency would not have noticed it at all.But Verlaine could find a more reasonable excuse, but he just talked nonsense along Zhongyuan Zhongye's words, so that Zhongyuan Zhongye, who already knew what he would do, didn't think about it, leaving only Zhongli and Zenyuan even. A loophole that only I can hear.

Verlaine thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Actually, Mr. Zhongli, if I'm not mistaken, the birth of that curse spirit is not a coincidence."

"Have you heard the news of the 5000 billion inheritance that has been circulated in the world recently in Yokohama?"

People in the other world wanted to hide from Zhongli, and the most recent focus was on Tokyo, so Zhongli naturally hadn't heard of the news that had just started circulating inside.

But this did not prevent him from feeling "finally here".

Verlaine, who used the information network of the port mafia to investigate information, of course knew the situation of Zhongli "not listening to the noise". After asking that question, he did not wait for the latter to give a reply, and directly revealed the information that had been circulating in the world in Yokohama recently.

"Originally, Rimbaud and I have reached an agreement with Mori Ogai. We helped him get the 5000 billion inheritance. He used the port mafia to maintain the balance of Yokohama. Naturally, those miscellaneous forces that are not as good as the port mafia are not there. Excuse me." Verlaine said with a sneer, "But this situation has changed since a few days ago."

The number of curse spirits in Yokohama suddenly increased.

In other words, there were suddenly more high-level spell spirits.

"The espionage classes in Europe include knowledge about spell spirits. I have some understanding of the causes and hierarchical relationships of spell spirits." Verlaine said, "The stronger the emotion, the more people, the stronger the spell power, these are A necessary condition for generating more powerful spell spirits."

"Can you imagine that it's just a childish cause of 'the ice cream on the corner is sold out' that can form a natural second-level spell?"

Unless it's Gojo Satoru who really feels sorry for selling out the ice cream.

"Someone is trying to drag Yokohama into a vortex of chaos. At this moment, which is barely maintaining peace." Verlaine said seriously, "The safety of those ordinary people is not important to me, but Chuya still needs to live here. I I think it is necessary to tell you this situation, Mr. Zhongli."

At this time, Fu Ruibai, who had been ordered by Zhongli before, was finally brought over by the waiter.After noticing the serious atmosphere between the two, the waiter who is a native of Yokohama put down the coffee cup and left without staying for a second.

Freshly brewed coffee steams in the center of the table.

Zhongli brought the coffee cup and the tray in front of him.

"No need to worry." Smelling the aroma of coffee, Zhong Li said softly, "Since there are people who want to muddy the water in Yokohama, there are also people who are trying to calm down in that opposite position, and they hold such thoughts It’s not just the Hong Kong and black families.”

"Yokohama won't really mess up, I'm so sure."
