If you could only make one last call, who would you call?

"If mobile phones were to disappear from the world, probably one in three people would lose contact."

"The string of numbers lying in the address book and the person contacted by the phone number will gradually disappear from your mind according to the degree of unimportance."

"Imagine that one day, the mobile phone will disappear from the world, and you can still make the last call, who will you call?"

There was a gurgling sound in the teapot, and the heat was rushing up.

In the brightly lit tea room, wisps of aroma wafted into the air.

Sitting cross-legged on the cushion, Qiyue tilted her head and listened to the old man who had reached an octogenarian age, her eyelids were constantly fighting.

In front of him was a clean sandalwood table, on which a whole set of tea sets were placed.

The furnishings are the same as when she came, untouched.

The hale and hearty old man shook his head and sighed softly.

A burst of mist rises, and the small water droplets look extraordinarily bright in the sun.

He calmly wiped off the water dripping on the bamboo tray with a tea towel, flicked his sleeves, smiled, showing a kind face.

It was still the same gentle and slow tone.

"My question, have you figured out the answer? Tell me what you really think in your heart." The ending sound rose slightly, and the aftertaste seemed to be waiting for her to answer.

Qiyue was drowsy, out of politeness, she shook her head, raised her head, and met the old man's gaze.She blinked, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and flicked the bangs that were about to fall on her eyes, and replied casually: "The phone is gone, there are other ways to contact. If you want to find someone, there will always be a way .”

"Really..." The teacup was picked up and put down again, not a single drop of tea was leaked. Grandpa with white beard looked at her, paused, and continued to ask, "Can it really be found? The person who lost contact."

July stretched out her hands to cover the sunlight that came into the room.

"When you want to see someone, you try everything possible to find him. If you still can't find it in the end, it just proves that that person is not particularly important to you."

Deep laughter sounded in this small space. "Hehehe...Xiao Zhi, you are very simple."

Hearing her own name from an old man she didn't know well, and still using such a friendly name, Qiyue suddenly felt very uncomfortable.She straightened her back and smiled politely at the old man.

Yeah, she is Nao Kanzaki now.This is the fourth world. Except for Kanzaki Nao's past, what remains in her memory is fragmentary information about the mission.

She remembered that only six simple words popped out from the mouth of the mechanical female voice this time - Raiding Akiyama Shinichi.

When he woke up again, he was at Kanzaki Nao's house.Qiyue's head hurts, trying to recall some things, and found that there seems to be a few more blank areas.

Some things, no matter what, I can't remember.Like, when was the last time she was on a mission?

The system didn't come out to help much, leaving a note and giving the only clue, and it never appeared again.

This is her tenth day here, and the task progress is 0.Because she didn't even see the shadow of Akiyama Shinichi.

It was not the first time that the old man said such a simple thing, and she almost felt callused when she heard it.But Nao Kanzaki was born with this kind of personality, and she couldn't change it.More often than not, it's just a euphemistic alternative to expressing "stupid".

Qiyue shrugged her shoulders, nodded disapprovingly, but still insisted: "I believe that the person I really want to see will definitely be found."

She was sure that she could find Akiyama Shinichi, and she must.

"Then let's make a bet." The old man's mood suddenly brightened a lot, and he suddenly became excited, "If I win, you can make me a pot of tea. If you win, I will grant your wish .”

So far, there is no other way.Qiyue was suspicious, but finally nodded obediently.Although she didn't know what to bet on, even if she lost, making a pot of tea should not be difficult.She's not too bad either.She had checked it several times before coming here, and the address must be correct. The note left by the system was exactly the location.

When she came here, she found that there seemed to be only one old man living here.This grandfather is proficient in tea art. There are all kinds of tea leaves at home, and there are about ten sets of tea sets.When she first came in, the fragrance of tea filled the room, instantly lighting up her slightly depressed heart.

"Okay." Qiyue grinned, her lovely dimples sunken slightly, "Grandpa, tell me, what are you betting on?"

"I lost a cat, you go and help me find it."

When he said this, a calm smile appeared on the other party's face, but a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

July grabbed the corner of her clothes, leaned closer, and asked, "What kind of cat is it? Please describe it carefully. For example, its breed, appearance, places you like to go, etc."

The old man took a sip from the teacup, and seemed to be smiling with satisfaction.He said: "An ordinary domestic cat, the breed is nothing special. Its fur is yellow and white, chubby, likes to sleep, and likes to act like a baby to people. It likes to stroll in the yard the most. It used to be when Xiaomu was around. , I always like to jump on Xiaomu's body and rub his face..."

Having said this, the old man stopped.Seeing that Qiyue was a little dazed, he said bluntly, "Did I say it was too boring?"

"No." Qiyue waved her hand and said with a quick smile, "Go ahead, I'm listening carefully. I can see from your face that you really love that kitten, and I really want to help You found it."

When the grandfather talked about cats, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle.It is not as serious as when making tea, nor as cozy as when drinking tea. It is a special kind of tenderness, with a hint of childishness.

Xiaomu is probably the grandpa's son or grandson.When the child grows up and leaves home, the elderly will feel sad to some extent.It is said that I miss cats, more or less it may be because of people.July thought.

The old man talked about the cat again.The kitten was given by the neighbor's grandmother. When it first arrived at their house, it was very thin and small. Day by day, under the careful care of the family, the kitten grew up healthy and became rounder day by day.

Grandpa named the cat "Sola", which means sky.Most people like to give cats this name, and grandpa likes it very much.He said that every time he raised his head to look at the sky, there were white clouds, which really looked like Sola's round belly.

"Sola was lost last Friday. It was raining heavily that day. I was resting in my room and fell asleep unconsciously. When I woke up, Sola was gone. It hurt its right leg not long ago, and it didn't heal. How long, but if the root cause of the disease has fallen, it will definitely not go far."

"I've been looking for a long time, and I asked my neighbors to help me find it, but I couldn't find it. Some people said..." the old man said, his voice choked in the wind, his white beard dangled in front of Qiyue, as if with Deep sorrow and longing, "They all said that Sola is no longer in this world, but I don't believe it, I can feel that Sola must still be here, definitely still..."

I hurriedly picked up the paper on the table, took out several and handed them to the tearful grandpa.

The clean table in front of me started to become messy.

The kind and plain old man suddenly cried.

In this way, with the muddle-headed story, July started a cat-hunting journey.

But this journey does not seem to be easy.

three days later

Coming to this house again, Qiyue felt a chill down her back.

I don't know if it's because of a guilty conscience or because the weather has turned cold.

The leaves in the yard have indeed begun to fall, with yellow and red each accounting for half of the country.

This is the second time she has come here, and she is already familiar with walking on the bluestone road with high heels.

July didn't find the cat, so she returned empty-handed with the cheek.

"I'm sorry, grandpa, I asked many people around here, and they all said that they had never seen Sola."

There are a lot of cats named Sola.There are many similar ones.No broken leg.

"I lost."

Rubbing her hands together in July, she clenched her fists and blew air into her palms, thinking that good luck would come soon.She still had a little bit of luck in her heart - she hoped that the old man could tell him the whereabouts of Akiyama Shinichi.

The system guided her here, so there should be no mistake.

This was her first time making tea, and she was really in a hurry.

The tea sets were messed up, the amount of tea and water was not properly controlled, and the aroma was too strong.

The crumbs were not filtered clean, and the etiquette followed was also different.

Sweat broke out on Qiyue's forehead. She poured good tea, brought it to the grandfather, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I did too badly."

"No." The old man took a sip and put it down, showing a comfortable smile, "It's much better than I imagined."

The green tea leaves are stretched out in the cup.

"I am very satisfied. Now, I can grant one of your wishes."

It was what she was looking forward to hearing.

Wiping the sweat off her forehead in July, she boldly asked the grandfather, "Can you do me a favor?"

"If I can be of help, I'd be happy."

Qiyue sorted out her thoughts, cleared her throat, and said, "I want to ask...do you know a person named Akiyama Shinichi? I've been looking for him all the time."

There was silence for 2 minute.

July started to get restless.It seems that the task did not go well from the beginning.

The old man smiled and asked, "Is he the one you must find?"

Biting her lips in July, "Yes."

The hands hanging down folded on the knees and pressed hard.

While waiting for the answer, even breathing was tense.

She lowered her head slightly, not noticing that a mobile phone was handed over.

"If you can only make one phone call, call the person you want to see and tell him what's on your mind."

"Huh?" July was stunned.She took the phone, clicked on the address book, and found a bunch of numbers lying in it.

Which number belonged to Akiyama, she was too shy to ask.

Speaking of mind...

In fact, she had nothing special to say.The relationship between her and Akiyama is probably at the level of the partners who fought side by side in the past.

The LiarGame that I experienced back then played like a movie in my mind.

She seems to have... helped a lot.

After that decisive battle ended, she never saw Akiyama Shinichi again after she left the office.

The previously saved number has also become an empty number lying in the phone's address book.

To some extent, when she wanted to find Qiushan, it seemed that she really had no other way.

People who rarely interacted with each other suddenly disappeared from their lives one day, as if they had fallen into the sea.

"One number is correct." The old man smiled and reminded him kindly.

Qiyue clenched the phone tightly, lowered her head, and said in her heart: "Then...try it slowly."

She started dialing the first number, but after beeping a few times, someone actually answered.

The other party's voice is somewhat familiar...

"Hello."

It was July who opened the mouth first.

The silence in the air lasted for about 1 minute.

"Hello." The other party replied calmly and politely.

This voice is really somewhat familiar.

The atmosphere was lukewarm.

"Excuse me..." July [-]st was at a loss for words.

After a brief embarrassment, a long-lost voice came from over there.

"Xiaozhi?"

The moment he said those two words, she couldn't find words to describe her mood.

"Is it Mr. Akiyama?!"

"It's me. Akiyama Shinichi."

A low laugh came from the phone.

"Is there something wrong with me?"

"I...I..." Qiyue raised her heart, and the courage she had accumulated was finally available, "I have something to ask you."

"Yes, it is very important."

"Where are you? I'll go find you! Go now!" Qiyue's hand holding the phone began to tremble.

She is now filled with indescribable excitement.

"I am here……"

Akiyama Shinichi paused for a moment.

"……prison."
