After Xu Cheng left the courtyard of the Protectorate, he immediately switched to the killer card and used stealth to sneak into the night.
Along the way, he kept changing identities and switching routes. It took him more than an hour to confirm that no one was following him.
Finally, he took out his mobile phone and opened the map navigation. He reviewed the route on the map and kept pushing back. Finally, he found that the place Sarina took him to was Chiyoda District, which was not far from the palace and the headquarters of the Countermeasures Department.
Xu Cheng did not go home immediately, but found a hotel nearby, then switched to the killer card and called Hoshizaki Yukina.
Ten minutes later, a figure appeared in the room, and it happened to be Hoshizaki Yukina who teleported over.
This time she did not wear the sexy and attractive black silk skirt at work. Instead, she dressed up at home. However, this loose clothes still failed to cover up her beautiful figure.
"We haven't seen each other for a day, do you miss me again?"
Hoshizaki Yukina seemed to have done enough psychological preparation before she came. She put her hands on her chest, with a faintly charming smile on her lips, and her personality returned to the kind of witch who likes to tease little boys.
But after she saw the situation in the room clearly, her expression suddenly changed. She subconsciously took a step back and blurted out: "Where is this place? What do you want me to do here?"
"This is a hotel."
Xu Cheng asked strangely: "Is there any problem?"
"Of course!
"
Hoshizaki Yukina raised her finger and pointed into the room. The witch's character was gone, and she yelled out of control: "Why do you want me to come to such a strange place?!
"
Ambiguous lighting, pink wallpaper, a large love water bed in the middle, and a double bathtub behind transparent glass.
There are also various strange props on the wall that make people blush and their hearts beat. The whips and dog collars are actually the most normal among them.
This is obviously an SM-themed love hotel room.
Wasn't it enough that he whipped me in Lingzi's tomb before, and he wanted to do it again?
Hoshizaki Yukina's heart was beating wildly, her legs were subconsciously clenched, and the look in Xu Cheng's eyes felt wrong.
"Because this is the only hotel nearby, and haven't you ever seen a love hotel? There's nothing strange about this."
Xu Cheng stared at Hoshizaki Yukina suspiciously: "Why is your reaction so big?"
Based on the bad-girl character Hoshizaki Yukina has shown in the past, she should be a seasoned character.
Why do you react so strongly to a room in a mere love hotel?
Hoshizaki Yukina also realized that she had overreacted, and quickly used the breathing method to calm down: "Who, who reacted too much, I'm just not interested in this kind of place."
"Not interested? I thought that with your personality, you would enjoy the pleasure of torturing people."
"Do you know me well? Hum, I'm not a jerk with a bad personality."
"That's just shaking the pussy."
"You fart."
Hoshizaki Yukina retorted angrily. Seeing that Xu Cheng looked at her with something wrong, she quickly changed the subject: "What on earth did you ask me to do? If nothing happens, I won't accompany you."
She couldn't help but want to leave quickly. In this strange place, she felt that her thinking was becoming slow.
"I definitely didn't ask you to play poker."
Xu Cheng took out the paper and pen he asked for from the front desk, recalled Sarina's appearance, drew her portrait on the paper, and then handed it to Hoshizaki Yukina: "Help me investigate the identity of this woman. "
Hoshizaki Yukina took the paper and glanced at it, her lips twitching slightly: "Your painting skills are at the bottom of the list among kindergarten friends. Don't you have any photos?"
The painting showed an abstract woman with a triangular face, square eyes, long hair like noodles and a kimono like a strawberry.
Xu Cheng had a different opinion: "What do you know? What I paint is not an image, but a kind of temperament."
Hoshizaki Yukina finally couldn't help it, pointed at the abstract painting with her finger, and complained: "Then do you want me to help you investigate the identity of this alien woman? Sorry, I can't do it. You'd better hire someone else."
After being complained about, Xu Cheng was not discouraged. He sat down on the water bed, took out another piece of paper, then performed the fourth level of breathing method and began to draw.
The painting doesn't look like it. The most important thing is that I can't control my palms. The slight trembling causes the lines to become distorted and I can't perfectly reproduce the picture in my mind.
The fourth level of breathing method gives Xu Cheng absolute control over his body, and the lines he draws will not appear out of shape.
He didn't even look at it. He closed his eyes and recalled Sarina's appearance. His fingers controlled the tip of the pen and slowly drew accurate lines on the painting.
Everyone who has learned the fourth-level breathing method may not be a great painter, but he is definitely a humanoid sketch maker.
Even if I lose my job in the future, I can make ends meet by setting up a stall in the park and painting for people.
Hoshizaki Yukina did not disturb Xu Cheng and looked at his face quietly.
Although her face was more handsome than that of a celebrity, she had no reaction because appearance was the least valuable thing to a killer and could be changed at will.
Hoshizaki Yukina is certain that Xu Cheng's face is not his original face at all, but a fake face.
She subconsciously moved closer, trying to find the traces of the disguise technique on Xu Cheng's face.
But when she got closer, she realized something was wrong.
Xu Cheng's breathing rhythm was wrong.
Although Hoshizaki Yukina's breathing technique is only at the second level, it's not that she has no talent, but she puts half of her energy into developing teleportation abilities, otherwise she would have been a three-star killer.
She has also read the secret book of the third-level breathing method and has long been familiar with it. It is only a matter of time before she is promoted to the third level.
And now she discovered that Xu Cheng's breathing rhythm was far more complicated than that of the third level, which was simply unheard of.
This brought an idea to Hoshizaki Yukina's mind - this is the fourth level breathing method!
Her breathing couldn't help but quicken, and her heartbeat accelerated.
Even if the desire for the breathing method is not as strong as Akimiya Yue's, the fourth level of breathing method is still full of temptation for Hoshizaki Yukina.
Originally, I was just doubtful about whether Xu Cheng knew the fourth level breathing method, but now it is completely confirmed.
She couldn't help but get closer, and then closer, trying to figure out this extremely complex breathing rhythm.
After getting closer, not only breathing, but also Xu Cheng's strong heartbeat could be vaguely heard.
This heartbeat and breathing rhythm naturally blend into one, turning into an extremely beautiful concerto.
Hoshizaki Yukina couldn't help but get intoxicated as she listened. She had never heard such a beautiful rhythm.
Xu Cheng had just finished painting when he smelled a sweet and sweet fragrance coming to his nose, as if someone was breathing in front of him.
Opening his eyes, he saw Hoshizaki Yukina's face less than two palms wide from his own, and the sweet fragrance was her breath.
She bent down, her tall and plump figure turned into a figure 7, and her loose neckline dropped down, revealing her beautiful white collarbones and a sliver of sky squeezed out by two giant peaks.
Xu Cheng: "..."
What's this, straight to the point, dark and clear?
Hoshizaki Yukina looked intoxicated, seemingly unaware that Xu Cheng was staring at her.
Xu Cheng picked up the pen, threw it forward, and submerged it into the valley.
"ah!"
Hoshizaki Yukina woke up with a start, held her collar and stepped back a few steps, glaring at Xu Cheng: "What are you doing?"
Xu Cheng retorted: "I'm asking you what you're doing. I'm painting. Why are you so close and smacking me with your nostrils?"
Hoshizaki Yukina's face blushed subconsciously, and she didn't hide it, simply saying: "Your breathing rhythm is wrong."
Xu Cheng calmly replied: "Then what?"
She ran the breathing method to calm herself down: "You have obviously learned the fourth-level breathing method, and you still lied to me and said you couldn't."
"oh."
"..."
Oh you big devil!
Hoshizaki Yukina felt like she was chatting to death.
Xu Cheng smiled and handed her the sketch he had drawn: "Don't think too much. You are only on the second level of the breathing technique now. It's still early."
He didn't say anything, but he seemed to promise something.
Hoshizaki Yukina wondered if Xu Cheng was using some kind of trick to PUA herself, and she was secretly wary, but she couldn't help but look forward to it.
She took the sketch handed over by Xu Cheng and was stunned after just one glance.
If the first one is an abstract painting, then the second one is completely photo-realistic. It is hard to believe that the two paintings were made by the same person.
Hoshizaki Yukina came back to her senses and began to look at Sarina's portrait carefully. She soon determined that she did not recognize this beautiful girl.
Just when Hoshizaki Yukina wanted to reply to Xu Cheng, she heard a loud noise.
Snapped!
That was the sound the whip made when it struck the air.
Hoshizaki Yukina trembled all over and subconsciously hugged her body with both hands. She turned around and saw that Xu Cheng was waving the whip that the hotel had prepared for guests.
Hoshizaki Yukina's eyes widened: "You...what are you going to do?"
"It's nothing. Don't you think this whip is fun?"
Xu Cheng waved the whip in his hand, making a crackling sound, and walked towards Hoshizaki Yukina.
Seeing Xu Cheng walking towards her with a leather whip, Hoshizaki Yukina felt her whole body go weak, and her back felt vaguely sore and numb like an electric shock.
She subconsciously stepped back and shouted at the same time: "Don't come over."
Even she herself didn't notice that her voice was trembling slightly.
Seeing Hoshizaki Yukina's hair about to explode, Xu Cheng didn't come any closer, threw the whip away, and said to her: "It's just a joke, why are you so nervous? Do you know the woman in the portrait?"
Hoshizaki Yukina breathed a sigh of relief, only to be surprised to find that a thin layer of sweat had broken out on her body, making it sticky and uncomfortable.
She pretended to be calm and said: "I don't know him. I have to go back and investigate. If nothing happens, I'll leave first."
After Xu Cheng told Hoshizaki Yukina the address where Sarina took her, she took the sketch and hurriedly teleported away.
After she left, Xu Cheng looked down at the whip on the ground with a strange expression.
Could this woman have suffered a psychological shadow after being spanked by him?
At the same time, Hoshizaki Yukina, who teleported back to her home, also lost her legs and sat down on the ground.
There is a sticky feeling in the clothes, and I may need to take another shower.
"how so……"
She raised her head and stared blankly at the pile of books about SM plots on the bookshelf in her bedroom, and finally realized that maybe, maybe, probably, there was something wrong with her body.
…
Muroto City, Hot Spring Mountain.
Qiu Gongyue followed the tunnel and entered the branch transformed from the underground military fortress.
Except for the annual party, there are not many killers in the branch. There are more than a dozen people sitting scattered in the spacious hall.
Seeing Qiu Gongyue walking in, these people were slightly startled, and the conversation stopped in unison, staring at her with strange eyes.
Although these killers usually stay away from Qiu Gongyue, I think this is the first time this has happened.
No, it should be the second time. The last time was after she abstained from voting, and the attitude of the young killers towards her changed.
Akimiya Yue had a cold face, ignored these strange glances, and walked towards Arakawa Buntais office.
When Qiu Gongyue turned her back, the silent killers in the hall began to point and whisper at her back.
Qiu Gongyue heard their movements clearly, and she realized that during the time she was recovering from her injuries and eliminating the sequelae, something must have happened to her in the branch, and it was not a good thing.
Walking in the dark and deserted corridor, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
Qiugong Yue looked over and found that he was a thin and delicate young man, about eighteen years old. She immediately recognized the identity of the other person - Basi Yishui, who, like the Moon Clan, was one of the four founding families of the Death-Giving Branch. Descendants of the Yashi family.
When Basi Yishui saw Qiu Gongyue coming towards him, he subconsciously lowered his head and pretended not to see the other person.
When the two of them passed each other, Qiu Gongyue suddenly reached out and grabbed Basi Yishui's collar and pushed him against the wall.
"ah!"
Basi Jishui screamed in panic, but did not dare to resist. He said weakly: "Sister Xinyue, what are you going to do?"
"Are you still willing to call me sister?"
Qiu Gongyue snorted coldly: "Why have you been avoiding me on purpose?"
If it were before, Qiu Gongyue would never have any contact with these people who deliberately avoided her. Just have your own dreams in life and have them be wonderful.
However, after being attacked by a poisonous snake, Qiu Gongyue realized that her situation among the dead had become dangerous.
Those who are hostile to her are not only poisonous snakes, but also a large number of three-star killers who are counting on Tsugumo Shinji to bring them the complete breathing method.
With so many killers hostile to her, the poisonous snake incident is definitely not an isolated case and will definitely happen again in the future.
Qiu Gongyue does not think that she can withstand it alone. She is a pragmatist. After sensing the danger, she immediately decided to find her previous connections.
Basi Yishui has known Qiu Gongyue since he was a child. He is one of her followers and has a very good relationship.
Although they gradually drifted apart as they grew up, based on her understanding of Basi Yishui's character, she knew that the other party was definitely not alienated intentionally by her, and she was very confident in bringing him back.
Hearing Qiu Gongyue's question, Basi Jishui showed a ashamed expression and whispered: "I'm sorry, I..."
The family's warning, coupled with the herd mentality, forced Basi Jishui to alienate Qiu Gongyue, and he has always felt deeply guilty.
"I do not blame you."
Qiu Gongyue straightened the collar of Basi Yishui that was messed up by her: "You have no choice."
Qiu Gongyue's considerateness moved Basi Jishui very much, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"You can continue to keep your distance from me on the surface, but you still need to keep in touch privately."
Qiu Gongyue lowered her voice and said: "During my absence, did anything happen to the branch about me?"
Basi Jishui hesitated for a moment and began to speak in a low voice.
It turns out that during this period, a rumor suddenly spread in the branch. According to the rumor, Viper and Stinging Bee went out on a mission, but were attacked by an unidentified man and woman, and both died.
Although it was not stated clearly who the man and woman were, they almost pointed to Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue.
Now many Samsung killers are requesting Arakawa Buntai to investigate the truth.
Qiu Gongyue listened expressionlessly, and finally understood why the killers in the hall were staring at her with strange eyes when she came back.
This rumor is undoubtedly the work of Tsugumo Shinji's group, so it should be dismissed directly.
And the clever thing about this rumor is that it didn’t name anyone.
If you dare to stand up and explain, then you are right. If you don't explain, then you have a guilty conscience.
Originally, the young killers were full of hostility towards Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue, and this rumor might become an excuse for them to vent their anger.
Qiu Miyazuki realized that she had come back in time. If she delayed for a while, when the killers reached a consensus, the shit basin would be closed. By then, the yellow mud would fall into the crotch and become a rare Japanese branch.
"The Sword Comes"
Qiu Gongyue reported her mobile phone number to Basi Yishui: "If there is anything going on in the branch in the future, remember to inform me in time."
Basi Yishui realized that Qiu Gongyue wanted to use him as an informant in the branch, but he did not refuse and silently wrote it down.
Qiu Gongyue touched Basi Jishui's chest again: "A bandage? Be careful of stunting."
Basi Jishui's face suddenly turned red, and he quickly pushed her hand away: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm a man."
While speaking, Basi Yishui glanced vaguely at Qiu Gongyue's bust.
"Do you still want to be a man for the rest of your life?"
Qiu Gongyue asked back, then turned and left without waiting for an answer, turning her back to Basi Jishui and waving her hand: "Remember to contact me."
Basi Yishui looked at Qiu Gongyue's swaying back and her perfectly proportioned waist, hips and legs, his eyes filled with envy.
Akimiya Yue came to Arakawa Buntais office to report what happened in Reiko's tomb.
However, it is hidden that Xu Cheng has learned the fourth-level breathing method, not to mention that he may have obtained the things in Lingzi's tomb.
At the end, Akimiya mentioned the rumors that were spreading in the branch and asked: "Instructor Arakawa, did Viper and Stinging Bee enter the Tomb of Reiko after accepting the mission from the branch?"
Being killed while performing a mission and being killed in private operations are completely different events.
"It's not a mission assigned by the branch, they are doing it privately."
Arakawa Buntais said to Akimiya Yue: "Don't worry, leave the rumors to me. It's time to restrain the arrogance of those bastard boys. Your breathing method has reached the third level and you have enough points. I'm ready Promote you to a three-star killer."
"Thank you, instructor."
Qiu Gongyue's face was calm, but there was still a hint of excitement in her heart.
She was promoted from one star to two stars in less than a year, but was blocked for several years before reaching the threshold of three stars, wasting her prime years of adolescence.
Now that she finally crossed this threshold, Qiu Gongyue couldn't help but think of Xu Cheng's figure.
If it weren't for his help, she might not be able to go any further in her life.
"I have a new task for you."
Arakawa Buntais' voice made Akimiya Yue, who was slightly distracted, react and said quickly: "Please tell me."
Arakawa Buntais did not hand over the task immediately, but asked: "Have you ever heard of the Three Divine Weapons?"
