[Comprehensive] Black and white city

Why do humans always like to compare one person with another?

Regardless of whether the two people know each other or not, or even whether the two people exist in the same space or not, it seems that such a comparison can make that "certain person" closer to his own definition.

What a... ridiculous habit.

With a sullen face, Jin Yi followed Lan Bo impatiently into a nearby coffee shop and sat down.

The boy didn't care, he joked happily with the waitress and ordered coffee and dessert. Seeing that she was still sitting sullenly, he remembered to ask, "By the way, what do you want?"

"Whatever." Jin Yi rested her chin on her hand and looked out the window without even looking at him.The glass reflected the young man shrugging his shoulders helplessly. He scratched his cheek, then turned his head and smiled flatteringly at the waiter: "Then order another cappuccino."

The corner of the girl's mouth twitched, and she finally turned her head and interjected, "Change to a latte, thank you."

"You said it casually just now~" Lan Bo raised his eyebrows casually, but didn't say much.Jin Yi snorted and turned his gaze out of the window again.

On the sunny street in winter, pedestrians come and go.From here, you can still see the fountain on the square just now. The water column rushed to the sky, and scattered into countless flowers in the middle, shining golden.

She was sitting there basking in the sun with Sawada Tsunayoshi more than ten minutes ago, but now she can only sit in the coffee shop with this kid who is about her age to pass the time.

Seeing the waiter leave from the glass, Jin Yi finally couldn't help frowning, and said again: "...that's why I said don't compare me with others casually."

"Huh?" Lan Bo asked subconsciously, and it took a while to realize, "I'm sorry if you hate it, but your reaction is too big..."

Jin Yi knew she was wrong, so she pursed her mouth and said nothing.

Lan Bo also looked away, and whispered a few words while looking down at the magazines on the table.His voice was very soft, and Jin Yi didn't care at all, he seemed to vaguely hear him saying: "This guy doesn't really like stupid gang..."

As her face burned, the girl turned her head angrily, but she didn't know what to say for a while, she could only pick up a topic at random: "Who is the 'Miss Nine Green' you mentioned just now?"

"Huh?" Lan Bo didn't come up in one breath, choking on his own saliva. "Cough—cough cough!" He patted his chest vigorously before he calmed down, and then his eyes widened in surprise, "You don't know?"

"Should I know?" As soon as the words came out, she suddenly realized something.

It is not difficult to guess the answer by contacting the content of the previous conversation between the two, but the abnormal performance here seems to really admit that he likes Sawada.Jin Yi pursed her lips, and could only pretend to stare at Lan Bo in puzzlement, trying to make herself look as innocent as possible.

The young man looked at her for a while with the corners of his mouth twitching, and finally scratched his hair vigorously, and sighed: "It's a companion who used to be together." Juezhong became serious, "But she has been missing for more than a year."

Jin Yi was really surprised at this moment: "Missing?"

"I don't know the specifics." Lan Bo shrugged, as if he suddenly thought of something, then turned to look at her and touched his nose, "Speaking of which, I hope you don't mention Miss Jiulu in front of other people... Well, there are many reasons."

Although the tone was still casual, the boy's eyes were serious like never before.She was suddenly curious as to what kind of person this "Miss Nine Green" was so that these people would always remember her.

At this moment, the waiter came to deliver the food, and Jin Yi didn't ask any further questions. After thanking him, he took two sips of his coffee.The sun outside the window is still warm and bright, but unfortunately, no temperature can be felt through the glass.She wondered in a trance, wondering what Tsunayoshi Sawada was doing now, and hoped it wouldn't be too hard.

The two were silent together for a long time, and finally Lan Bo coughed lightly and said, "You don't have anywhere you want to go...then you'll stay here this afternoon."

Jin Yi paused for a second, then suddenly raised her head, raised her eyebrows with a bright smile: "I've changed my mind, I want to go to the beach."

The boy on the opposite side turned his head to look out the window dully, and then turned his gaze back. After making sure that she was not joking, he finally couldn't help but stare: "Eh? This season?!"

Because it was included in the original booking.

Sawada said that this season is actually not suitable for going to the beach, but it is more convenient because there are fewer tourists, so she specially asked her to bring an extra coat.In fact, Jin Yi didn't care, but felt that Sawada seemed to want to go, so he happily agreed.

But when they arrived, they found nothing.This sea area is boundless and sparsely populated, and the sea breeze is so strong that it seems to be able to blow up the whole person, and it hurts like a knife on the face.

The two fled back in embarrassment after not staying for long, and Lan Bo complained dissatisfiedly all the way: "I said I would freeze to death!"

Jin Yi couldn't bear it anymore and stopped, and stomped on his foot when he was unprepared, causing him to yell out in pain: "Are you really a girl?!"

"As you can see~" The girl put her hands behind her back, and tilted her head pretending to be cute, "No matter how I look like this, I'm not a boy~"

She really looks like an ordinary girl.Although the face is not very beautiful, the color of the eyes is very lively, and the long light brown hair looks very smooth.

Lan Bo covered his face in frustration, speechless.

They returned to Sawada's residence in such a noisy way.It was getting late, and the room was still dark, and Tsunayoshi Sawada had obviously not returned.

Lan Bo said he wanted to go back, so he just sent the jacket to the door.The girl waved her hand, sent Lanbo away and went into the house. Just after changing her shoes, she found the black cat quietly standing on the floor of the corridor, looking at her without blinking: "You seem to be having a good time."

Jin Yi was stunned for a moment, but for some reason he felt a little frightened, so he hurriedly put on a smile and said vaguely: "It's, it's okay... Where is Saya? You won't be staying here all day, right?"

The black cat snorted and flicked its tail lazily: "I don't have nothing to do like you. Get ready, we'll set off right away."

"Huh? Now?"

To be honest, she really doesn't want to go out now, not to mention that she is tired after playing for a day, and Sawada may come back soon, so it's not good to make him worry.

But looking at Saya's eyes, the words of refusal swirled abruptly in his throat, and he swallowed them again, "Where are we going?"

Sha Ye looked at her, as if thinking of something interesting, he smiled slowly: "I'll know when I get there."

Night in Palermo is very different from day.

As night falls, the lights float up little by little, like sparks on the sea.The residential area lit by street lights is quiet and quiet, while the bustling city is bustling with neon lights.Among them, shadows grow quietly, extending a world that belongs only to darkness in the dilapidated and ancient streets and alleys.

Jin Yi followed Saya in the alley without street lights, and couldn't help looking around curiously.This area is much quieter than expected, it looks like an abandoned residential area.There are a few bars and restaurants dotted on both sides of the pedestrian-only path, and homeless people can occasionally be seen staying overnight in the corners.

She took a sneak peek into the bar. There were not many people inside and the lights were dim. The guests were doing their own thing while holding their glasses, and there was no conversation at all. The atmosphere was indescribably weird.She took two quick steps, approached Saya and asked in a low voice: "You haven't said why you brought me here? What can you find in this kind of place..."

Before he finished speaking, the black cat stopped and said, "Okay, here it is."

Jin Yi was startled at first, then turned around following his gaze, only to find that there was a downward ramp in the alley.The ramp was wide, but hidden in the dark so it wasn't very noticeable.She stared at it for a long time before finally feeling the aura of the people in it—and it was the aura of a lot of people gathered together.

It's really strange, this place is obviously so remote and desolate, why are there so many people gathered?Thinking about those people sitting in the bar just now, it's no wonder that they felt a sense of discord at the time. Thinking about it this way, they probably didn't really come to drink, but were waiting for someone.

Jin Yi almost understood: "I didn't expect to find out so soon... Is that old Ai Ni down here?"

Sha Ye was silent for a moment, and slowly stepped forward: "I'm not sure, I just heard that there will be an auction tonight—of course it's a secret underground event—the old Aini has goods for sale."

"Goods?" The girl repeated in a low voice, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face, "It should be a newly abducted girl~ The supply of goods is really endless~" As she said so, she tilted her head, already Looking eager to try, "Then——how do we get in~"

Neither the person nor the cat moved. Saya squatted on the ground and stared at the entrance for a few seconds, then said in a deep voice, "Just go down from here."

"Go directly?" Jin Yi was taken aback, still a little unsure, "You will definitely be stopped..."

Shaye pondered for a moment, and never took his eyes off the dark ramp: "This is the entrance and exit for internal staff, even if it is discovered, it will not easily cause commotion. There should not be many guards, so you can't handle it?"

Jin Yi looked at the sky silently, and pursed her lips: "Forget it, try using the barrier, if there are not many people, you should be able to hide it." She put Sha Ye on her shoulder, and walked carelessly along the ramp to go down.After turning the corner, he saw a simple entrance and exit. There were two tall men in black suits standing at the door, but no one else was there.

She hid her breath and stood behind the wall to observe for a while, raised her hand and stroked lightly along the direction of the aisle, and a transparent tunnel-like object quietly appeared between the two men.

It was the first time for Jin Yi to do this.

Her ability is to control gas, that is to say, she can recombine the air according to her own wishes, and the making of enchantment is exactly this principle.Usually large-scale enchantments don't need to be controlled too finely, but this kind of enchantment for hiding is not the case.They need to take into account a series of issues such as light reflection and penetration, and it is easy to slip through if you are not careful.

When she passed in front of those two men, she was still a little nervous, but also had uncontrollable excitement.She is an excellent learner, and it took only one year to master her abilities and skills to such a level that even Saya rarely said a few words of praise.

Perhaps, he chose her because of her talent.

Jinyi slowly moved towards the door, and when he stepped over the threshold, he suddenly saw one of the men turn his head and look around strangely, and said to his companion with doubts: "Hey, did you see anything just now? What? Think someone?"

"Are you stupid! We are all standing here, how can we see anyone?!"

"That's right..." The man gave a "tsk", and seemed to blame himself for making a fuss, "But then again, if it wasn't for Pengo Lie's coming this time, the higher-ups wouldn't be so nervous."

The other person was immediately happy when he heard the words: "Haha what Peng Gelie said before was so grand, it's not the same after all! By the way, don't you know? There is a good product this time. It is said that it is a famous name that has been missing for a long time. The gems even attracted Pengo Lie..."

The conversation between the two men gradually faded away. Seeing that there was no one around, Jin Yi quickly removed the barrier and proceeded cautiously along the corridor.The ears suddenly became extremely quiet, except for the sound of his own footsteps.After she looked back, she didn't mind the conversation she had just heard.

Vongola... Vongola... From what those two people meant, it should be the name of a mafia family, but she heard Lanbo call Sawada Tsunayoshi that way today.

What does this... represent?
