Being stared at by Chizuru Godera with disappointed eyes, Xu Cheng couldn't help but want to explain: "I..."
"I know."
Chizuru Godera interrupted him with a firm tone: "I know you didn't lie to me, and I believe you."
Xu Cheng was a little moved. After all, he was talking nonsense now and looked like a liar no matter how he looked at it.
And Chizuru Godera has trusted him unconditionally several times, which even a real sister might not be able to do.
"Why can't I see it?"
Chizuru Godera put her hand on the mirror. Even though there was only one mirror between her, she could not see her brother who had been separated for more than ten years.
She suddenly asked softly: "Kirito, is he looking at me?"
"No."
Xu Cheng glanced at the mirror: "He's been staring at me."
Chizuru Godera showed a bitter smile: "Then you are quite destined."
Xu Cheng saw that her mood seemed not right, and was about to give some advice when he saw Chizuru Yudera cheer up on her own, and the loss and sadness on her face were wiped away.
After all, she is a mature old aunt and the captain of the special response force. A small scene will not make her lose control of her emotions at all.
"Xiaoguang, describe Kirito's current situation."
After Xu Cheng described Kirito Odera's situation to Chizuru Odera, he saw her eyes suddenly become sharp, and the dark circles under her eyes could not block her sharp gaze.
Kirito Odera's current appearance was exactly that of a corpse, with pale skin, lifeless black eyes, and hands and feet hanging naturally.
That's why after listening to Xu Cheng's description, Chizuru Yudera looked angry. He subconsciously pinched the hand on the sink and cracked the marble sink.
"We should first find a way to get the Bachi Mirror out of my body."
Xu Cheng persuaded: "Only in this way can we find out why your brother appeared in the Bachi Mirror. Don't you know the cause of your brother's death that year?"
Chizuru Godera was silent for a few seconds, and then whispered: "I said Kirito passed away, but it was actually just an excuse. I was separated from him almost twelve years ago, and I didn't know his condition, so I said he had passed away. "
After saying that, Yudera Qianhe grabbed Xu Cheng's hand again and dragged him out of the bathroom.
"Come on, I know a guy who might be able to help us."
Xu Cheng could only follow her after hearing this.
The two got into the sports car. Chizuru Godera stepped on the accelerator, and the sports car roared onto the road.
Xu Cheng did not persuade her to slow down this time. He could now cover his whole body with Qi and would not die even if he was in a car accident.
"Xiaoguang..."
As Chizuru Godera drove, she whispered: "I'm sorry, I lied to you before."
Xu Cheng turned to look at her profile: "What did you lie to me about?"
"Protect the Council."
The neon lights outside the car flashed across Godera Chizuru's face quickly, looking uncertain: "I actually know what the Protectorate is, but I lied to you and said I didn't know. I'm sorry."
Xu Cheng was surprised: "Why did you lie to me?"
"Because the Odera family was once a member of the Protectorate Council."
Xu Cheng was taken aback, with undisguised shock in his eyes.
Chizuru Godera is actually a member of the Protectorate Council, so if she approaches him, could it be...
No, when the two sides came into contact, I had not yet developed a hostile relationship with the Protectorate.
Besides, she was talking about a former member.
Xu Cheng calmed down quickly: "I'm all ears, just tell me."
"Well, I don't know where to start."
Chizuru Godera sighed: "After all, I know very little about the Protectorate."
Xu Cheng was very considerate: "Then speak slowly, I have enough time to listen to you."
There was a hint of unfamiliarity in Xu Cheng's tone, which made Qianhe Yudera's heart tighten. She knew that if the explanation was not clear, there might be cracks in the relationship between the two.
This is definitely not what Chizuru Godera wants to see. She has already lost a younger brother and will never want to lose another younger brother.
She considered the words in her mind, but her memory gradually returned to a night twelve years ago.
"Chizuru, the chance for the family to rise again depends on you alone. Follow them and go to Takamagahara to become Lord Amaterasu's divine attendant. This is my father's order."
The cold-blooded father stood in front of her and said cruel words to her.
Not knowing how much time had passed, Chizuru Godera came to her senses and said: "The Protectorate is an organization with a long history. It believes in Amaterasu and has the habit of sacrificing men and women to Amaterasu. The Godera family is an old family that has a long history. One of the Chinese ethnic groups and a member of the Protectorate Association. When I was eighteen years old, I was selected as a sacrifice, but my younger brother secretly replaced me as a sacrifice. He was gone and never returned. I left that year. The Odera family came to Tokyo to live alone."
Seeing that Yudera Qianzhe stopped here, Xu Cheng showed a look of astonishment: "That's it? Where are the details of the Protectorate?"
Chizuru Godera said helplessly: "The Protectorate is very mysterious. Although there are many members, basically only the head of the family knows about it. I only know that the Godera family is also a member of the Protectorate, but I really don't know much about the Protectorate."
Then you don’t know as much as I do, so what information are you breaking to me?
He probed: "Didn't you go back to Godera's house and ask?"
Chizuru Godera shook her head: "After I left the Godera family, I completely cut off contact. Later, when I went back unexpectedly, I discovered that the Godera family had been destroyed twelve years ago, that is, the year I left home. , fell apart, and only a few clan members are still alive. I haven’t contacted them for a long time, and they are probably all dead long ago.”
Xu Cheng looked disappointed. Yudera Qianhe said she was lonely.
"When you mentioned the Protectorate, I chose to hide it because I really didn't want to mention the past. I'm sorry."
Yudera Qianhe apologized to Xu Cheng again, her eyes full of sincere apology.
"Forget it, I'm not angry either."
Xu Cheng shook his head: "Just think that you owe me a favor."
He knew that if he didn't say anything, Chizuru Godera would definitely feel bad. Owing a favor would help her feel atone for her sins and make her feel better.
Yudera Qianhe also realized Xu Cheng's thoughtfulness and couldn't help but stretched out her hand, grabbed his palm tightly, a smile appeared on her face, and reminded: "You must remember to apply ambergris in two days."
These words reminded the two of them of what happened when they applied ambergris before, and they fell silent for a moment.
A thought suddenly appeared in my mind - she (he) wouldn't misunderstand that I couldn't wait to do that thing, right?
…
Chizuru Yudera drove to a high-end apartment building in the city center, parked the car in the underground garage, and took Xu Cheng upstairs in the elevator.
She used her position authority from the Countermeasures Department to force her way through the middle door jams, including those blocked by security guards.
Arriving at the door of a high-rise house, Chizuru Godera kept ringing the doorbell very rudely.
Xu Cheng couldn't help but ask: "Who are you looking for?"
"You should know him."
Chizuru Godera continued to ring the doorbell: "A little girl named Aragaki."
A piece of shiny steel plate immediately appeared in Xu Cheng's mind.
What are you doing with her?
In his eyes, Ayase Aragaki is just a cup of green tea full of thoughts about old cows eating young grass.
"Come on, come on, don't keep ringing the doorbell, it's too noisy. Do you have any sense of justice?"
The door was opened, and with a groan, Aragaki Ayase's upper body poked out from behind the door.
When she saw the two people behind the door clearly, a look of shock suddenly appeared on her face, and she screamed: "Chizuru Godera?! Xinghaiguang?!"
Chizuru Godera smiled and nodded: "Good evening."
Aragaki Ayase subconsciously wanted to close the door, but with a bang, the door was stuck by Chizuru Godera's foot.
She immediately turned around and ran into the house, screaming at the same time: "Rin, something bad has happened. Chizuru Godera came to the door with Xinghaiguang."
The smile on Godera Chizuru's face immediately faded: "Oh no, why is Bai Yuelin here? It seems we can only come here softly."
Xu Cheng asked curiously: "If Bai Yuelin is not here, what are you going to do?"
Chizuru Godera opened the door and walked in: "I am a civil servant and will not commit crimes."
Xu Cheng followed behind and saw Chizuru Yudera turning around and winking: "As long as no one calls the police, it's not a crime."
Xu Cheng: "..."
The two of them entered the house. This was a high-end apartment, specially provided for the wealthy. It was spacious, bright and luxuriously decorated.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw Bai Yuerin and Aragaki Ayase coming towards him.
Bai Yuelin was wearing everyday home clothes, with a gentle and friendly smile, but this could not hide her strong woman temperament at all.
"Captain Yusi, Mr. Xinghai, please sit down quickly. You two are usually not invited. Why are you free to be our guests today?"
Bai Yuerin very politely invited Chizuru Godera to take a seat, without showing any dissatisfaction at all, and seemed to welcome these two guys who came uninvited at ten o'clock in the evening.
Judging from how she treats people, it's hard to believe that she is a girl in her early twenties, more like an old fox who has been in the mall for many years.
Not to mention Xu Cheng, even Chizuru Yudera felt slightly uncomfortable when facing her.
Fortunately, Aragaki Ayase stood behind and stared at the two of them with a look of displeasure, which slightly destroyed Bai Yuerin's aura.
Pig teammates, awesome!
"Haha, I'm sorry, President Bai Yue, the matter is urgent, so I took the liberty of disturbing you."
Chizuru Godera laughed, and said simply: "The main reason why you came so late uninvited is because we want to use Miss Aragaki's ability to do us a favor."
"So that's it."
Bai Yuerin seemed a little embarrassed: "Sorry, although I am Ayase's friend and boss, I cannot order her to help people she hates."
This woman is lying!
Xu Cheng had carefully observed before that as long as Bai Yuerin was a little tougher, Aragaki Ayase would become as obedient as a quail, how could she disobey orders.
Bai Yuelin was clearly deliberately trying to embarrass them, the two uninvited guests who came to the door in the middle of the night, and he had such a smile on his face that it was hard to fault him.
Damn, this is a shady person.
Yudera Qianhe also felt that there was nothing wrong with Bai Yuelin's words. She turned to look at Xu Cheng, with only one meaning in her eyes - it's your turn to take action, take her down!
Xu Cheng coughed and said, "President Bai Yue..."
Chizuru Godera held her forehead with her hands, a dark line on her face.
Silly boy, I asked you to take down Ayase Aragaki, but I didn’t let you take down Bai Yuerin.
How can you control this woman's rank?
"President Bai Yue."
Xu Cheng continued: "We have a problem that we can't solve. I hope you can help us. We will keep it in mind."
With a smile on her lips, Bai Yuerin stared at him for a few seconds, then turned to Ayase Aragaki and said, "Ayase, please do me a favor."
Chizuru Godera's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Got it now?
She turned around and looked at Xu Cheng with shocked eyes. Could it be that this younger brother has some charm that I don't understand?
Why did Bai Yuelin, who was known for being difficult to deal with, surrender as soon as he opened his mouth?
Xu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. Bai Yuelin had said before that he could come to her if he had any trouble that couldn't be solved, but he didn't expect that she would still remember it.
He cast a grateful look at Bai Yuelin, who smiled back.
Xu Cheng was very wary in his heart. He suspected that Bai Yuelin was deliberately making things difficult for the two of them just so that he could ask for help.
What a sinister woman, why haven't I noticed this before?
Aragaki Ayase was a little unwilling. She stared at Xu Cheng and suddenly said: "Come with me."
Bai Yuerin and Godera Chizuru didn't mean to stop them, so Xu Cheng could only get up and follow Aragaki Ayase to the side.
Godera Chizuru and Bai Yuerin started talking softly, but they both pricked up their ears in unison.
Ayase Aragaki walked aside with Xu Cheng and whispered: "Have you joined the special response force?"
Normally, Xu Cheng would have no interest in talking to her, but now he still had to coax her, although he didn't know why Godera Chizuru came to see this woman.
"No, I just happened to meet Captain Godera. I haven't been to the special response force for a long time."
Aragaki Ayase snorted.
"You have been a member of the Super Power Association for so long, but you have never even been to the headquarters."
"Definitely next time."
Xu Cheng clasped his hands together; "Just help me this time."
Aragaki Ayase bit her lower lip: "I can help you, but you have to answer me a question first. I will only help you if you answer it correctly."
"what is the problem?"
"Among me, Saito Asuka, or Hashimoto Kanna, who is better looking? I can't say they both look good."
It seems that Ayase Aragaki is still worried about Xu Cheng saying she was ugly last time, and insists on getting back her place.
Xu Cheng shook his head: "Neither Saito Asuka nor Hashimoto Kanna is my type."
Aragaki Ayase raised the corner of her mouth, crossed her hands together, and said proudly: "Then tell your answer loudly, who looks better?!"
Xu Cheng said loudly: "Asuka Saito!"
what about me?
Aragaki Ayase couldn't help but widen her eyes, with fire burning in them.
I gave you a chance but you didn't use it.
Just when she couldn't help but get angry, Xu Cheng raised his hand and interrupted her: "I'll give you the mobile phone number of a handsome young man who is more handsome than me. I can help you."
Aragaki Ayase was stunned for a moment and said angrily: "Am I that kind of person?"
Xu Cheng continued to add chips: "Add another LINE number, and you can contact him in my name."
Aragaki Ayase's eyes flashed, and she was obviously moved: "How do I know if you are lying to me?"
Xu Cheng raised his hand: "I can swear that if I lie to you, I will die badly while doing the task."
Bai Yuerin, who was talking to Chizuru Godera, had an awkward smile.
After all, her best friend and assistant behaved so stupidly, which made her look disgraced.
Xu Cheng used a mobile phone number and a LINE number to get Ayase Aragaki and get her to agree to help.
The four of them came to an empty room, and Chizuru Godera told Bai Yuerin and Ayase Aragaki about the trouble they encountered: "The soul of a relative of mine may be possessed by Xiaoguang. I hope Miss Aragaki can help us." Make it manifest.”
Xu Cheng looked at Aragaki Ayase in surprise: "Isn't your ability tracking?"
When he did the ability card task for the first time, Uehara Ryo found him through special abilities, and Aragaki Ayase appeared in front of him by following Uehara Ryo.
"Don't make me sound like a stalker."
Aragaki Ayase said dissatisfied: "The person following Uehara Ryo is someone else in our association. I am only responsible for contacting him."
Bai Yuelin explained to Xu Cheng on the side: "Ayase's ability is to manifest spirits, which can make spirits or souls invisible to ordinary people appear."
Xu Cheng finally understood why Chizuru Godera came to Ayase Aragaki for help.
"Is there really a soul in this world?"
"Of course, there are ghosts and ghosts, but most people can't see them."
Ayase Aragaki had already stepped forward, put her hand on Xu Cheng's shoulder, and reminded him: "Don't move, I'm about to start. You may feel out of touch with your body for a while, but don't be afraid, that's just you. The soul is just revealed."
Xu Cheng had no choice but to hold his breath and concentrate. Both Yudera Qianhe and Bai Yuelin's eyes were fixed on him.
Ayase Aragaki began to use her spiritual power, and at this moment, Xu Cheng suddenly thought of a possibility - if his soul floated out, was it the soul of the original body, or the soul of Xinghaiguang?
He opened his mouth to shout to stop, but it was too late. He felt his whole body light up and his gaze suddenly became higher.
At the critical moment, Xu Cheng suddenly raised his hands to cover his face, and then looked out through his fingers.
Sure enough, when he saw the three women in front of him, they all looked shocked.
Xu Cheng thought to himself, it's over, he's about to lose his vest.
After Aragaki Ayase used his spiritual power, the three women saw that Xu Cheng's soul emerged from the body, but it was a full head taller than the body and much stronger.
Xinghaiguang is just a thin boy, but his soul is actually that of a 1.8-meter-tall young man?
This strange scene immediately shocked the three women, so much so that Xu Cheng Soul's face was blocked by him with his hand before they could see it clearly in time.
There was a long silence in the room, with three pairs of eyes staring directly at Xu Cheng, who was covering his face with his hands, until the soul of a young man emerged behind Xu Cheng.
"Kirito!"
Chizuru Odera's exclamation broke the silence. She took a few steps forward and reached out to touch Kirito Odera's soul, but her palm penetrated directly.
I finally saw my younger brother who had been separated for twelve years, and saw that he still looked like the young boy in his memory, but he had become a ghost-like spirit behind him.
Chizuru Godera was heartbroken, her eyes turned red, and she said in a trembling voice: "Kirito, can you hear my voice? I am your sister!"
Kirito Yudera remained motionless, his dark eyes still staring at Xu Cheng's soul, as if he wanted to replace it.
Seeing the sad look of Chizuru Godera, Bai Yuelin advised: "Captain Godera, your brother shouldn't be able to hear your call. His soul has lost its activity and there will be no reaction..."
The words stopped abruptly before he finished speaking, because the dark eyes of Kirito Odera's soul suddenly slowly turned and looked at Chizuru Odera.
