Clear inside the bar.
The atmosphere was dim and quiet, with only one or two low noises coming from occasionally. Kalida, who slammed the door and left, was sitting at the small table in the corner, looking at the low-alcohol cocktail in front of her with a dull mood.
He was worried about not being able to rely on Makat's help. This case is very important to him. After all, it is rare in this world to have a friend like Horlock who is sympathetic to him. However, he cannot rely on Zhu Chiyun and Makate to solve this case, which makes him feel that he cannot help Huo Luoke. Locke has a sense of powerlessness.
"Did I forget something important? What is it? Is there anything I can't say directly?" He has always relied heavily on Makate. He always thought that as long as Makate was here, he wouldn't need to work so hard to use his brain. Thinking about the problem.
"Damn Zhu Chiyun! You occupied my father when you were a child, and now even my brother is obeying you! Bastard!" However, because of Zhu Chiyun's obstruction, Makart decided to ask Khalida to do it herself, which reminded Khalida of the past. Things will inevitably cause resentment on him.
Just thinking about having to rely on herself to investigate the truth about "real and fake Horok" made Khalida feel even more stressed and confused. "I can't do anything without Makate's help. When Makate was not around, I was just imitating him. Alas~~~~" Kalida sighed helplessly.
Under the dim light of the bar, Kalida's eyes were wandering and melancholy, and his thoughts could not calm down.
Just when he was deeply troubled, a tall man suddenly sat next to him.
"Can I sit next to you? Brother Xiu? You look very troubled. Do you have something on your mind?" Khalida looked at the man in front of her and saw that he looked very cool wearing red sunglasses. The look, with a fashionable hairstyle and bangs, makes people feel a bit proud and mysterious.
"You have mistakenly admitted that I am not Yao Xiu." Kalida knew that the person in front of her was another guy who mistakenly admitted that he was Yao Xiu, so she had no choice but to tell him the truth immediately.
"It doesn't matter. My mother once said that when you see others in trouble, you can lend a helping hand." The man wearing red sunglasses said, sitting next to Kalida without permission.
"You really listen to your mother, what's your name?" Khalida asked.
"I am Maibar, a person from outside the world who observes everything in the world." Maibar said confidently, pointing to the ceiling.
"This... I always feel that your behavior sitting next to me is too noticeable."
"It's okay. My mother said that only the sun can attract attention, so I am the sun."
"(Why would I provoke such a strange guy even if I wanted to have a quiet drink?)" Seeing Maibar's half-hearted behavior, it was too late for Kalida to change positions.
After all, the seats in the bar were already occupied by other customers.
"I envy you. It's great to have no worries like you." Kalida said after taking a sip of her cocktail.
"How could it not be possible? My younger brother ran away from home. I was feeling extremely irritable and anxious, so I wanted to come here for a drink. I didn't expect to meet you who looks like my great benefactor." Khalida saw that in the red sunglasses There was a look of helplessness and worry on his face.
"Your brother ran away from home? Why?"
"He knows his life experience. Maybe he blames me as the big brother for keeping it secret from him, but I just think about him. I hope he can live peacefully and happily in this world."
"His life experience? That's all, I won't ask too much, but who is Yao Xiu? I always feel that many people except you are hostile to him." Compared with the matter of Maibar's brother, Khalida More concerned about the information about Yao Xiu.
"My father passed away nine years ago due to the resurrection of the Blood Demon Xiang Liu. Later, only my younger brother, my mother, and I depended on each other. But my family was very poor at the time. If it hadn't been for brother Yao Xiu who took advantage of the financial situation in a desperate situation. Help us, I'm afraid our family of three will have to live a homeless life."
"So, this guy is not a pure bad guy, but why does he support you?" Kalida didn't think Yao Xiu would simply help others.
"He said that he wanted to help some people who were suffering from the blood demon Xiang Liu's unblocking. I am not the only one who has received his favor. As for what he has done recently, there may be his reasons. I also I know that he wants to unseal the Blood Demon Xiang Liu again."
"I didn't expect him to do something crazy but you still want to understand him."
"Maybe, but I am also prepared. If the blood demon Xiang Liu is really resurrected and the humans in this world cannot resist him, I will plan to take my mother and brother and leave this world."
"Leave this world? Why do you say that you are like a time traveler?"
Then, the two of them chatted animatedly without realizing it.
Khalida began to tell her about the difficulties she encountered and what happened with Horok, including the fact that Zhu Chiyun and Makate did not assist her in investigating the case. Maibar told Khalida his troubles. Now he is still looking for his brother's whereabouts, but he has no clues. This left him feeling helpless and frustrated. The two people talked to each other in the bar, and their hearts seemed to have gained some relief at this moment.
Mai Baer told him about the Blood Demon Xiangliu. Even if the Blood Demon Xiangliu was sealed, many innocent people were still harmed by the curse of the Blood Demon Xiangliu every year. Maybe Yao Xiu wanted to solve the problem at the root.
But in this way, they will face the risk of the Blood Demon Xiang Liu releasing the seal again to rule the world.
"It's a pleasure chatting with you. I think the relationship between that person named Makate and you is the same as the relationship between me and my brother. My brother also relies on me in every possible way, but I always think that he can grow up and even On par with me. Since he wants you to personally find out the truth of this case, you might as well use this opportunity to prove your growth to your brother." Maibar said.
"But how should I prove myself? The real culprit in this case pretended to be Horlock. Even the fingerprints and DNA are exactly the same. This kind of replica is more difficult to identify than a clone."
"No, you can go to this school to look for clues." Maibar handed a leaflet for the fencing competition to Khalida.
"There's a fencing competition waiting at this school, and you can ask them about the Silverbloods."
"Silver-blooded man? What?"
"I don't know the details. I have indeed heard that there is an urban legend about silver-blooded people recently. It doesn't hurt to go and find out about it."
"Okay, thank you, Maibar." Maibar said and left.
Gradually, Kalida's mood became cheerful as she found the direction of the investigation.
"Who is this person?" Makat came to Qingba because he was worried about Khalida's situation, and happened to see Maibar leaving at Khalida's table.
"This man is here to set up a stage, but I can chat with him quite well." Kalida said calmly.
"Haha, then I have to thank this friend." Makart thought that if this person hadn't come to set up a stage to chat with Kalida, he would probably still be sulking.
"Uh-huh, aren't you a friend? Do you have anything else to do? Why did you come to me?" Kalida said with a sinister look on his face.
"I heard Zhu Chiyun say that when I was away, you led the search and rescue team and everyone worked together to smash the conspiracy of the Titans. They did a good job. I was worried about what the search and rescue team would do when I was away." Makart said Face said happily.
"I'm just imitating you. If you were here, maybe you would do better than me." Whether it was rationally arranging the team configuration or analyzing everyone's ability characteristics, Kalida completely followed Makate's instructions. Usual style.
"What's wrong with imitation? Since it's imitation? Then come up with a better way than me while imitating, just like the current investigation of "real and fake Horlock", have you ever thought about it? What will my words do?”
"Well, if it's Makate, you must collect evidence first, and then find out every clue about the relevant evidence."
"Very good, let's do what you want next. Let me see how far you can do it now. Whether you imitate me or use any method, I hope you can do it."
"Okay, but what do you think I forgot about something important?" Kalida asked.
"Hey, you still haven't realized it yet?"
"No, Zhu Chiyun also influenced you, right? He actually said some words that are difficult to understand."
"The tasks given to you by the system need to be completed by yourself. Just because Zhu Chiyun and I are companions, you cannot rely entirely on us. Even if there is no one, we must learn to be independent. Do you understand?"
"So that's it? Wouldn't it be better to just say no?"
"You may not understand if you tell me directly. Forget it, just in case, remember to discuss it with us when you want to do something crazy."
"I understand. I've also written down your contact information."
Then, Kalida said goodbye to Makart and left Qingba. He also hoped to find out the truth through his own strength and make Makart look at him with admiration.
