The Girl and Her Sword [Comprehensive + Sword III]

How to make a person consciously and willingly do something that goes against his heart?

"There are many ways to say this..." The bookstore owner with a gloomy face mused, "Personally, I am more inclined to use various methods or thought control, but in that case, the former will be in danger of being broken first, and the latter will be destroyed." The latter is too obvious, if you don’t want others to see it, you generally don’t use this method.”

"That can only explain one problem." Qingwu was lying on the other side of the tea table, teasing the cat in Jingji Hall, and said, "That is, the Taoist did not know what kind of magic method to control him. Or, "she tapped the cat's forehead, and said thoughtfully, "deceitful?"

"If you don't know the reason, it seems that you can't completely trust the other party." Qian Hezi walked over with a pot of tea, and smiled from the side.

"Hi Ma'am~~" Qingwu raised his hand in response, and then continued the topic just now, "I don't believe it if you tell a lie. At most, it's because of complicated emotions."

"Pfft," Qian Hezi looked at Qingwu tenderly. This girl is young but has extraordinary vigor and strength. Seeing her joyful appearance always reminds me of Atsuko, so Qian Hezi couldn't help but I have a little sense of intimacy with Qingwu.

"After all, no one would write a suicide note after lying." Seemingly unaccustomed to being watched like this, Qingwu sat up in embarrassment, scratched the back of her head before explaining, "Although it looks like a report, it is actually It's a hidden suicide note. It looks like he's not going to live."

"Why didn't Tsuruki come with you this time?" Chizuko nodded and asked.

"I'm tired." Qingwu shrugged, "Last night was a big battle."

"You mean, the two of you knocked dozens of puppets unconscious last night, and it's considered a big battle?" Chuzenji said sarcastically.

"After all, those dolls are innocent victims," ​​Qingwu sighed. "Being hurt by humans to this extent, so the resentment is relatively heavy. It's natural for them to attack humans, isn't it?"

"What else?" Chuzenji said without changing his expression, "You didn't just do this, did you?"

"Yes," Qingwu nodded very readily, "After finishing the dolls, I sent Yukiko and Enokizu back, and then went to Tsume Shrine alone."

"What was the result?" Chuzenji asked.

"As a result," Qingwu smiled, "I found my things, but I can't get them back because I can't scare the snakes."

"That young lady is also a poor person." Qian Hezi sighed faintly.

"That's right," Qingwu said, "Then what should we do now? As far as the evidence is concerned, those puppets appeared too far away and have been destroyed. Now, only a handful of Sanri Yuezong can prove it, but if we want to solve it fundamentally This question, these are not enough, right?"

"Compared with this, what I'm more curious about is," Chuzenji looked at Qingwu inquiringly, and said, "Running around all night, even that stupid detective fell down, how did you come here in this time period?" here?"

This time period means that when Qingwu arrived, it was just eight o'clock sharp, which was the time for ordinary people to finish their breakfast.

Seems like an ordinary time.

However, considering Qingwu's running around at night, this time is very strange.

How does a man who barely sleeps through the night come to visit with such energy the next day after a run like that?

"This," Qingwu blinked and smiled. She has a mixed-race face, and she is a rare beauty. Even standing next to Ekikizu, she is not inferior. She rarely smiles, but now she laughs It is even more stunning. "Presumably if I say it's my secret, although you don't know how to ask, you must be dissatisfied with unsatisfied curiosity?" She said.

"Of course I'm just asking my question. It's your freedom to say it or not." Chuzenji said with folded arms.

"Okay, okay, I say it is." Qingwu shrugged and said, "This, to put it bluntly, is internal force."

"Inner strength?" Qian Hezi asked with great interest, "Is it the kind described in the novel?"

"Well, I don't know how you write here..." Qingwu pondered for a while, then said, "In short, it is a kind of inner body energy, and it is the existence of this energy that allows me to do these things. matter."

"Then won't there be dark circles under the eyes after staying up late?" Qian Hezi asked enthusiastically.

"You are guaranteed to be young and beautiful." Qingwu said with joy, "Emma, ​​you don't know about my brothers and sisters, especially my mother. I look like a little girl at this age, so internal strength is a good thing. .”

"......" Chuzenji looked at the two people who had already diverted the topic, and turned his eyes away speechlessly.

"Meow?" The cat named Pomegranate glanced at him lazily and flicked its tail.

"Tsk." Chuzenji clicked his tongue, put away the stack of papers on the low table, picked up a book and continued reading.

Things go back to last night.

When Ekikizu and Aowu were fighting dolls, an unexpected visitor came to the detective agency.

"Hello."

"You... hello."

He Yin looked very uncomfortable at the man who came uninvited and knocked on the door of the detective agency in the middle of the night.

He was wearing a ochre-red bathrobe, with mild eyebrows and eyes, and he was a handsome man comparable to Enokizu.

But I don't know why, maybe it's human intuition, He Yin is a little afraid of the man in front of him.

.....fragrance?He sniffled, wondering how there could be a scent in a room that had never been lit.

"Ah, sorry, this is my problem." The man noticed his strange behavior and said.

"It's nothing, it's nothing..." He Yin replied immediately after reacting, he scratched the back of his head a little embarrassed, "This, my master has ordered..."

"You want me to write it out?" the man said with a slight smile.

"Yes." He Yin nodded, feeling embarrassed again, he didn't believe Qing Wu's words at all, so he didn't prepare a pen and paper.

"It's okay." The man obviously expected this situation, and took out a pen and paper from his sleeve, "I'm fine with this." His movements were very elegant, just like the beauty in the painting.

"I'm really sorry." He Yin is an honest man, and he felt very sorry to see the other party like this.

"It's okay." The man coughed a few times, and continued to write smoothly on the paper.

The light illuminated the room very brightly, just when He Yin and others were a little bored and drowsy.

Ah.

There was a chuckle in the quiet room.

He Yin shivered violently, he looked around vigilantly, but the surroundings were still empty, without anything.

It should be said that apart from him and the man, there were no living creatures.

Ah.

There was another chuckle. In all honesty, if this voice were placed in a normal environment, it would actually be a very pleasant voice.

However, it appeared too weird, no matter how nice it sounded, He Yin was not in the mood to appreciate it.

"Did you hear that?" He Yin asked cautiously.

"What?" the man said while writing.For some reason, He Yin suddenly felt that when the man was answering, his face had a strange look for some reason.

"It's that laughter..." He Yin asked after looking around.

"Laughter...?" The man pondered for a moment, then smiled, "Ah, maybe that guy came out to play again, don't worry, he has no malice towards people without swords."

"What... what?" He Yin took a few steps back with a pale face, and stammered.

"Sorry, he just wanted to tease you, maybe he scared you." The man said gently. "Don't worry, he won't hurt you."

"..." He Yin's face was full of sweat, and he responded nonchalantly.He didn't dare to say anything on the surface, but he shouted in his heart.

No! !He minds very much! ! !Don't mind it! ! !

"Ah, the water is boiling." The man reminded.

"Ah!" He Yin woke up like a dream, he slapped his thigh and stood up, and said, "I'm really sorry, I'll make you some tea..."

"You have been using it for a long time." The man's gentle words came from behind.

"Yes, yes." He Yin responded, "It took more than ten years to say the least..."

"Is that so," the man said as if he was chatting about family affairs, "she is a beauty."

Humming—the teapot was still humming.Water vapor evaporated from the brass spout and sprayed towards He Yin, but He Yin didn't care, he felt very cold.

Puff - the sound of a fire being extinguished.

Seeing that He Yin didn't respond, the man came over to help him extinguish the tea stove that was about to explode.

"Thank... thank you." He Yin said with some difficulty.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," the man said with a gentle smile, "Because of some things I have experienced before, I can see things that others can't see now. It may scare you, I'm sorry."

"Difficult, could it be," He Yin said tremblingly.

"Hush," the man compared his index finger to his lips, "it's a monster."

"..." He Yin couldn't remember what happened after that. After he realized it, a stack of papers was placed on the short table, and he pressed it firmly with a Huangshan stone paperweight.

That stack of papers was the message left by the man.

"Judging from the handwriting, it is indeed the handwriting of Ms. Ogita Huaji's brother." Qing Wu said, "From this, it can be concluded that it is undoubtedly the handwriting of the person."

"Handwriting can be imitated," Chuzenji said. "Prince Tsume is a calligrapher, and it is not difficult for him to imitate handwriting."

"But if it was him, he would definitely not be willing to use such a piece of paperweight." Qingwu took out the paperweight and said, "This is a good thing."

How can a person who cherishes brush and ink and loves calligraphy waste such a good thing?

"Is the boss there?" At this moment, an angry voice came from the door of the bookstore.
