Ayase Shintsune drove her car on the road along the river, occasionally raising her head and looking at the rear seat through the rearview mirror.
Sitting in the back seat was a girl about the same age as her. Her facial features were exquisite and perfect, her sitting posture was elegant and decent, and her noble temperament showed that she came from a wealthy family.
Even as a woman, Aragaki Ayase couldn't help but admire the charm of this friend and boss. She didn't know which man would be worthy of her in the future.
Bai Yuelin was looking at the buildings along the river through the car window, her eyes far away, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
She felt the gaze from her friend: "What's wrong?"
Her voice is clear and beautiful, and her tone is very intimate, but it makes people subconsciously feel reserved, as if she is facing some big shot.
"nothing."
Of course Aragaki Ayase dare not say that I am thinking about who will take your crystal cabbage in the future.
Even if they are good friends, she would not dare to make some jokes, so she could only change the subject: "Rin, why are you free to hang out today and why do you come to Sumida District all the way?"
As the president of the Super Power Association, although he is not busy with official duties, there are still many things that need to be dealt with. It is rare to drive out and hang out like today.
Bai Yuelin looked out the window again: "There was an earthquake here a few days ago, but the area was very small. I was curious, so I came over to take a look."
"earthquake?"
Although Ayase Aragaki also has the habit of watching the news, why didn't she see the news about the earthquake?
"The spread is not wide."
Bai Yuerin smiled and explained that as the leader of one of the three camps of ability users, she has an intelligence source that ordinary people do not have.
The special nature of this land in Sumida District is not a secret among some people in the upper echelons. Although she has no plans to intervene yet, she has to pay attention to it. After all, it is related to the awakening of ability users.
"Really? I always feel that it's not that ordinary... ah!"
Accompanied by Aragaki Ayase's scream and the sound of sudden braking, the entire car suddenly stopped. There was a bang in front of the car, as if it hit something.
Bai Yuelin sat firmly in the back seat, as if the sudden braking had no effect on her.
She asked with concern: "Ayase, are you okay?"
"Ah, I'm fine, I seem to have bumped into someone."
Aragaki Ayase replied nervously, because she was distracted while talking to Bai Yuerin and didn't see anyone in front of her.
Bai Yuelin reminded her: "Go down and see how he is doing."
Aragaki Ayase finally came to her senses, quickly unbuckled her seat belt, opened the car door and got out.
The person who was knocked down had stood up on his own, with a damaged bicycle at his feet.
When she saw this young man, Aragaki Ayase's first thought was - so handsome!
Then the second thought - it's a pity that I'm an adult.
Xu Cheng felt very unlucky. He took advantage of the rare sunny weather today and wanted to go out to see what was so special about this land that was targeted by the government.
As a result, I was hit by a car while humming a song on the road.
When he was annoyed and wanted to accuse the driver of not having eyes, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Ayase Aragaki's face.
WOC, why did you meet this idiot here?
Seeing Xu Cheng staring at her face without saying a word, Aragaki Ayase couldn't help but feel a little happy. Hum, it seems that even a handsome guy has to succumb to his charm.
She smiled slightly proudly: "Handsome guy, what are you looking at?"
While thinking about what this woman was doing here, Xu Cheng replied: "I'm looking to see if someone has dusted your eyes."
Aragaki Ayase's expression changed: "What do you mean?"
"What's the meaning?"
Xu Cheng pointed to the road: "I was riding well on the roadside. It's such a big road. If you didn't have a problem with your eyes, why would you turn across the road and hit me? You have a grudge against me, right?"
Aragaki Ayase blushed at his rebuke and was aroused to win.
You want to quarrel, right? Come on! Mom, I’ve never been afraid of anyone!
"Ayase!"
Just as she rolled up her sleeves and prepared to fight Xu Cheng for three hundred rounds, Bai Yuelin's voice came from the car: "Apologise to this gentleman, and pay compensation for his car by the way."
Xu Cheng turned his head and looked inside the car, but he couldn't see clearly through the window. He could only see a woman sitting in the back seat.
Aragaki Ayase's anger was suddenly suppressed. Although she was unhappy, she still bowed to Xu Cheng and apologized: "I'm really sorry. How much does this car cost? I can compensate you."
Xu Cheng didn't expect this idiot to apologize so easily. It seemed that the status of the woman in the car was far above hers.
"It's just an old car I don't have much use for."
Xu Cheng gave a random number: "Just compensate me with 20,000 yuan."
"Twenty thousand?"
Aragaki Ayase's voice suddenly rose: "Are you cheating?"
Although she was not short of money, she did not want to be taken advantage of. Five thousand yen was enough for this broken bicycle.
"Don't look at how old my car is."
Xu Cheng showed a sad expression: "But it has been with me for a long time. It is the sustenance of my childhood, and the feelings are priceless."
Aragaki Ayase crossed her arms and looked like "you make it up, keep making it up".
Xu Cheng decided to change his approach: "Miss, do you have a boyfriend?"
Aragaki Ayase was stunned: "No, what do you want to do?"
Xu Cheng gave his own advice: "For 20,000 yen, just make a friend. I'll give you my mobile phone number and let's drink coffee together another day."
Aragaki Ayase understood what Xu Cheng meant, and immediately stamped her feet angrily: "What kind of woman do you think I am? For a man like you, I can order a hundred at a time when I go to Cowherd's shop, and I will compensate you up to fifteen thousand. I can't More."
Xu Cheng snapped his fingers: "Deal."
Aragaki Ayase: "..."
She felt that she had been tricked, but she couldn't swallow what she just said, so she had to take out her wallet glumly and took out 15,000 in cash and gave it to Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng picked up his damaged bicycle and quickly turned around to avoid regret.
Aragaki Ayase got in the car again and found that Bai Yuelin's eyes were looking at Xu Cheng's leaving figure through the car window.
Aragaki Ayase asked: "Rin, do you also think this guy is disgusting and actually blackmailed me?"
Bai Yuelin chuckled and shook his head: "After all, I crashed someone else's car. I'll give you a little more money as an apology. Let's go."
But in her mind, Xu Cheng's back lingered, gradually overlapping with a smaller figure.
This made her feel melancholy.
Aragaki Ayase was also in a bad mood. She always felt that she had lost something. After a while, she suddenly slapped the steering wheel with both hands and let out an annoyed cry.
"Ah, that scumbag didn't give me his cell phone number!"
Bai Yuelin: "..."
…
Xu Cheng found a place to discard the old bicycle, and then ran to a bicycle shop to buy a new one with Ayase Aragaki's money.
Riding a brand new bicycle, Xu Cheng was in a happy mood and began to move along the river bank to observe the land.
After walking around the area where the earthquake occurred, he quickly discovered something was wrong.
In the middle of the residential area, a construction site appeared at some point.
Real estate development in Sumida District has been stagnant for many years. When did this construction site appear?
The construction site is surrounded by high fences, making it impossible to see what is going on inside.
Xu Cheng walked around to find the gate and found that there were several security guards standing guard at the gate. As soon as he approached, he was scolded and left.
Xu Cheng has not given up on exploring the inside. If it is night, he can still use the killer card to sneak in. It is too conspicuous in broad daylight.
He thought for a while, left the building kilometers, came to a nearby seven-story apartment building, pretended to be a delivery boy, entered the building, and took the elevator to the top floor.
It's not far from the construction site, and you can see the scene inside the construction site from a high vantage point.
When Xu Cheng looked down through the window, he found that many buildings on the construction site were still there. They had not been demolished and there were no signs of major construction.
This is strange. Since the construction site was fenced off, it must have been meant to start construction. However, the inside still maintained its original appearance, and not even a single house was demolished.
While Xu Cheng was thinking, a black car drove from a distance and turned into the construction site. The security guard at the door did not stop him.
However, when the car entered the construction site, the security guard at the gate actually gave the car a military salute.
Are these security guards soldiers?
While Xu Cheng was thinking, the manager's prompt suddenly sounded.
[Task: Breathing Method]
[Difficulty: Normal]
[Content: You are a star-less assassin of the Granted Dead. You have completed the requirements for newcomers in the organization. Please participate in the annual meeting of the Granted Dead, pass the heart stone test, and obtain the breathing method]
[Whether to accept the task]
A new mission at this time?
Xu Cheng had no time to observe the construction site below and hurriedly left the apartment building.
When he came downstairs and searched around the parking lot, he showed a doubtful expression on his face: "Where is the bicycle I just bought?"
