Yuanshen everyone has become my figure

Hatsune's house, first floor.

Zhongli and Tomoko Suzuki sat on two sofas facing each other.

Zhongli put on a calm and unmoving posture, waiting for Suzuki Tomoko to ask questions.

But Tomoko Suzuki maintained his vigilance and vigilance, and as expected, he took the lead in provoking the conversation.

"Then, please tell me first why you appeared at my nephew's house, and what is the relationship between you and him?"

Zhong Li seemed to think about it for a while, and replied unhurriedly: "It's a friend."

"Oh? Friend?" Tomoko Suzuki smiled half-smile, revealing a bit of sarcasm that he didn't know if it was true or not.

She is putting pressure on the other party.

A common technique of negotiation, under pressure, humans tend to reveal their more authentic sides.

In this way, Tomoko Suzuki can make a more realistic judgment on the other party, or find out the other party's weaknesses.

"Yes, friend." Zhongli nodded slightly, as if he could not feel the pressure from Tomoko Suzuki, he gave a very sincere answer.

Tomoko Suzuki praised in his heart, "The psychological quality is good", but he didn't show it at all on his face, but squinted his eyes and continued to press: "Then can you explain why you, as my nephew's friend, deceived me The nephew bought a lot of expensive clothes for himself? This should not be what a friend should do."

"Or, are you going to say that he did all this for you voluntarily?"

Tomoko Suzuki's tone became dangerous.

Zhong Li was slightly taken aback, thoughtful: "...what you said is very true, the word money is indeed extremely important to the people in the world—oh, this remark does not mean to be derogatory."

"However, I did not consider this before, and it was indeed my negligence."

Tomoko Suzuki nodded in satisfaction, with a smile of hopeful victory on the corner of her mouth: "Then..."

"I will reimburse all money spent on this purchase by me."

Zhongli's apology is very sincere.

"However... I'm penniless now, can you please introduce me to a job?"

"What...?" Tomoko Suzuki was caught off guard, and was disrupted by Zhongli's unreasonable playing of cards.

This mentality of treating money as nothing, this hateful wording, and this damned calm posture from beginning to end.

It's almost like an old-fashioned old man who ran out of a deep mountain.

what happened?

Am I wrong?

No no no, no.

Tomoko Suzuki calmed down quickly and regained his original logic.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and her mood gradually became dignified.

The guy in front of him is definitely an old fox with a deep family background.

If it's not for money, then there must be other conspiracy. He stays by Genkichi's side for another purpose.

You can't just let him go like this.

Tomoko Suzuki decided to follow suit.

She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, showing a polite yet reserved smile.

A standard business smile, absolutely not a fake smile.

"It's a great honor, this..."

"Zhongli." Zhongli nodded, and said the name he used when he was wandering in the world.

"Mr. Zhongli." Tomoko Suzuki nodded politely, "My surname is Suzuki, and I am the wife of the chairman of the Suzuki Foundation. This is my business card."

Butler Tanaka appeared at the right time and handed over his business card at the right time.

Tomoko Suzuki nodded slightly: "It's a pleasure to meet you today."

It ruined her original good mood.

"Your request is very reasonable. I will arrange a suitable job for you according to your ability, so please send your resume to this email as soon as possible."

Let me see who you really are.

"See you next time, Mr. Zhongli."

Never again.

Tomoko Suzuki carried a handbag, took the butler and a group of people, and left elegantly but hastily.

——It's natural to be in a hurry, she is in a hurry to investigate Zhongli's identity.

Tuli left Zhongli alone in the living room, meditating on the business card: "What is the resume? What is the mailbox?"

Just when in reality, Tomoko Suzuki left in a hurry.

In the dream, Chu Luye was still rushing towards the lake for customs clearance.

At this time, most of the dragon's body had dissipated, and their speed had reached a terrifying level.

This speed is so fast that if Chu Luye looks up at the water droplets falling freely in the air, he will feel that they are slowly moving away from them.

However, in fact, the water that escaped from the dragon already possessed a very fast speed.

Generally speaking, if it hits the water surface at this speed, no matter how soft the water surface is, it will be no different from hitting the concrete floor at that moment.

However, this is a dream after all.

Chuluye thought.

In terms of dreams, since he can fly into the sky in violation of Newton's third law, it shouldn't be a problem to change the nature of water and make it a perfect cushioning material.

Just when Chu Luye arranged a series of action plans for himself, including sprinting, buffering, and landing.

A few wisps of black mist escaped from the end of his hair, and was stretched into a thin black line by his increasing speed.

Chuluye didn't react for a moment.

What's the matter, is his falling speed too fast and the Demon God's Resentment can't keep up?

If that happens to get rid of the thing, that's great.

Mr. Zhongli no longer has to worry about the bad food he ate.

However, the escaping thin black line did not leave Chu Luye's head just because of the expectation in his heart.

It stretches itself long and soft, and connects to the bamboo forest in the distance where there is only a shadow.

Chu Luye thought about what was in the bamboo forest.

A red shadow flashed through his mind.

Almost instantly, at the moment when Chu Luye recalled that red shadow.

The red shadow actually appeared beside him.

The red-haired Mandrill showed a smile with gleaming white teeth: "Come to see me again, friend. Why do you seem to be falling down every time I meet you?"

Chu Luye was stunned for a moment, and the memory immediately became as clear as a windowpane that had been wiped of fog.

His gaze immediately fell on the blue-gold wings on the back of Hongdrill.

"How about it, are you envious?"

Red Mandrill proudly spun around while falling at high speed, showing off his wings to Chu Luye in a very fancy way.

"That's something that the guy out there doesn't have."

Chu Luye was stunned: "Why..."

"You mean why doesn't he have this?"

Red Mandrill's mood changed very quickly and he became bored, and then he smiled viciously as if he suddenly remembered something interesting: "Because his wings have been corroded by the demon god."

"If one day I see him showing his wings outside, then the one outside is not him, but me."

Red Mandrill made an expression of great anticipation, but there was undisguised malice in his eyes.

"At that time, I can see you outside, friend!" He smiled as if he was very sunny.

But Chu Luye only felt a sudden chill behind his back.

He glanced at Hongdrill, and without hesitation controlled the dragon to accelerate again, throwing away Hongdrill beside him.

"...friend! What are you doing?"

Hongdrill looked at Chu Luye leaving him behind in shock and bewilderment, feeling very puzzled and a little bit wronged at the same time.

"...Wait for me, friend!"

He waved his wings vigorously and accelerated to catch up.

The two chased after each other and flew the last part of the journey.

Chu Luye looked at the lake that was approaching him very fast and lowered his body, his eyes gradually became focused.

And the Red Mandrill behind him said happily, "I'm going to overtake you, friend!"

Chu Luye ignored him and plunged into the lake.

The flat surface of the lake was like a big piece of soft jelly, swallowing him with a "poof".

Caught off guard, Red Mandrill hurriedly braked, barely stopping at a distance close to the surface of the lake.

The red mandrill landed, touched the lake that was like a mirror, and couldn't reach it at all, and was shocked and at a loss again: "Friend...?"

He didn't let him stay here for a long time, and the water polo drops they landed in the next step began to fall continuously, pouring red mandrill all over his head and face.

The red bird turned into a drowned rat in an instant.

With the fastest speed in his life, Red Mandrill dodged aside from the landing point.

And the water from the sky was still falling, and a local torrential rain fell in that small place.

Like a galaxy hanging down from the starry sky.

Red Mandrill shook the water from his hair, and looked up at the spectacle in his dream.

Even though there were still drops of water on his face, he suddenly smiled: "...you who brought changes here, where are you going?"

below the surface of the lake.

Chu Luye finally entered the road of customs clearance that he had been longing for.

The dragon has turned into the last drop of water and merged into the lake where it was born.

Chu Luye walked cautiously in the darkness under the lake, trying hard to see the surrounding situation clearly.

The darkness made him a little uneasy.

He was afraid that Mona, like Mandrill, had fallen into a nightmare from which she could not escape.

But the atmosphere here didn't feel so dangerous to him.

Maybe, he doesn't need to worry too much.

Chuluye took another step carefully, feeling as if his toes had touched something suddenly.

Hard, as if made of wood.

Chu Luye stretched out his hand and touched it, his fingers followed the shape of the long and thin object until it reached the top.

It was as high as his waist, and there was a sharp edge protruding from the top, a wooden, slender object.

what is that?

Chu Luye fell into the confusion of the blind man feeling the elephant.

……never mind.

Chu Luye, who couldn't figure out anything after touching around, chose to give up thinking.

Since it's made of wood, let's light it up with a fire.

Chuluye thought so.

As soon as Chu Luye's thoughts moved, the wood immediately followed his thoughts, and was suddenly ignited by the flame.

The light of the flame filled this not spacious space.

Only then did Chu Luye see clearly that the unknown object was actually a wooden table.

Because he only touched one of the legs of the table just now, he couldn't guess what it was.

So where is Mona?

Chuluye looked around in this studio-like room.

It wasn't until the end that Mona was lying face to face behind the burning table.

The flames from the table legs were almost reaching her hair!

Chu Luye hurriedly stepped forward to help Mona, let her half-sit up from the ground, and at the same time kept away from the burning wooden table.

"Mo, Mona!"

Hatsune, who didn't know much about first aid, shook her shoulders vigorously like in the manga.

The dark blue-haired girl with twin ponytails slowly woke up amidst the shaking.

"Traveler, stop, stop..." Mona made a weak voice.

Chu Luye stopped immediately and supported her shoulder instead.

"Hold, I'm sorry. You, what's wrong with you?"

Mona, who was dizzy, vomited twice, but didn't spit out anything. Her voice became weaker, and she said half-deadly:

"I'm starving to death...I haven't eaten for three days..."

Her stomach growled in unison.

Chu Luye suddenly woke up at this moment.

At this point in the memory, Chu Luye, who was dizzy from the high fever, finally remembered what he had forgotten.

"Mo, Mona—!"
