Chapter 140: Confinement, take me away (5000 words)(1/2)
Give to the Dead, Branch
Basi Jishui hid in his room, quietly opened the door, stuck his head out, and after making sure no one was eavesdropping outside, he pulled his head back and hid under the quilt.
"Sister Xinyue, I don't know what to say..."
Yoshimizu Basi paused, organizing his words in his mind, and then said: "Recently, a Samsung killer violated the rules and was punished by Minister Arakawa. Shinji Tsugumo went to argue with Minister Arakawa. The two seemed to have a quarrel. Later, in the branch
The atmosphere is very strange, there are rumors of dissatisfaction with Minister Arakawa being spread, and many killers seem to be talking about something in private."
Listening to Yasushi Yoshimizu's words, Akimiya Yue began to think, could this be related to Arakawa Buntais suddenly asking him to go back?
She mused: "Let's do this, Jishui, if there are killers talking in private, you should get involved and see what they are discussing."
Basi Jishui hesitated and said: "But I am a member of the three major families. If they have secrets, will they really tell me?"
After saying this, Basi Jishui realized something was wrong and quickly apologized: "Ah, I'm sorry Sister Xinyue, I made a mistake."
It should be the four major families. The Moon Clan is also the founding family of the branch. However, in recent years, when talking about the founding families, more and more people only talk about the three major families, excluding the Moon Clan.
Qiu Gongyue comforted her softly: "It's okay, I don't mind."
Although she didn't mind these verbal details, judging from Basiji's subconscious name, the Moon Clan's influence in the branch was indeed fading rapidly.
If Qiugong Yue cannot restore the family's glory, then in a few decades, the Yue clan will become a distant memory and be forgotten among the new generation of killers.
As for Basi Jishui's worries, they are not unreasonable.
The killers in the branch are generally divided into two types. One is the ordinary killer, who was an orphan since childhood and was adopted and trained by the deceased.
The other species are the descendants of the founding family, who have better resources and opportunities since childhood, and can easily obtain easy tasks and higher positions.
The number of descendants of the Creation Family is very small. They only account for about ten percent of all killers, which is about twenty people.
These family killers formed a small circle of their own and held some key positions within the branch. Their relationship with ordinary killers was not harmonious.
Basi Yoshimizu is one of the family killers. He doesn't have much interaction with ordinary killers. Participating in it rashly may arouse suspicion.
Qiu Gongyue was also aware of this problem, and when she was considering another approach, Basi Jishui suddenly said: "Sister Xinyue, let me give it a try. If it doesn't work, don't blame me."
Qiu Gongyue's tone softened: "How can I blame you? Don't force yourself."
After chatting with Basi Yishui for a few words, Qiu Gongyue hung up the call.
Being disturbed by two calls in succession, although the anger in her heart was still there, Qiu Gongyue's thoughts of settling a score with Xu Cheng also faded away.
She put away her cell phone and rode her bicycle home.
Xu Cheng was waiting at home for Qiu Gongyue to come back to settle the score with him. It was really fun when he played with her, but once he calmed down afterwards, Xu Cheng also felt a little dizzy when he thought of her angry appearance.
When he was thinking about how to comfort Qiu Gongyue, he suddenly heard a bang and the door seemed to be kicked open.
Xu Cheng was sitting upright on the sofa in the living room. When he saw Qiu Gongyue walking in expressionlessly, a friendly smile appeared on his face: "Qiu Gongsang, are you back?"
He was already prepared. If Qiu Gongyue took action, he would subdue her first.
However, Qiu Gongyue did not take action or get angry as expected. Instead, she walked straight into her bedroom without looking at Xu Cheng.
After a while, she walked out again, still holding the suitcase in her hand.
Xu Cheng was stunned when he saw this.
No, I just bullied you a little, are you going to run away from home?
Qiu Gongyue was carrying the suitcase and walking past Xu Cheng when she suddenly felt the suitcase being pulled. When she looked back, she found that Xu Cheng's hand was grabbing the suitcase.
Xu Cheng smiled awkwardly: "Qiugong Sang, where are you going?"
Qiu Gongyue was still angry and did not answer. She just said coldly: "Let go."
"I won't let you go until you tell me, ouch."
Xu Cheng looked like he was determined to die, but she stepped on the sole of his foot hard.
"hiss!"
Xu Cheng quickly let go of his hand. Qiu Gongyue had already dragged her suitcase towards the door. Xu Cheng quickly followed after seeing this.
"Akinomiya-san, are you going on a business trip?"
"Qiugong-san, please speak."
"Qiu Gongyue, why are you mute?"
Qiu Gongyue had no expression on her face and said nothing. She hailed a taxi outside and sat in the back seat.
Xu Cheng was a little nervous. Qiu Gongyue occasionally went on business trips, but this was the first time she ran away from home like this.
Are you really angry and can't stop it?
He stood by the window and advised: "Qiugong, stop making trouble and come home with me."
Qiu Gongyue ignored him at all and said to the driver in front: "Drive."
The taxi started quickly and moved forward, leaving Xu Cheng where he was.
Qiu Gongyue sat quietly in the back seat. Although she couldn't teach Xu Cheng a lesson in physics, she wanted to use this attitude to show that she was angry.
The car hadn't driven out for long when Qiu Gongyue suddenly heard Xu Cheng's call: "Qiu Gongyue."
She looked back from the car window in surprise and saw Xu Cheng running after him, while still shouting: "Qiu Gongyue, Yuezi, Yuezi, how can I live without you! Yuezi, take me with you.
Let’s go! Yuezi!”
Autumn Palace Moon: Σ(▼□▼メ)
I feel like goosebumps are appearing all over my body.
The old driver glanced at Qiu Gongyue through the rearview mirror and muttered in a low voice: "What a good boy, you must cherish it."
Qiu Gongyue: "..."
Xu Cheng chased for a few steps and then stopped. After shouting, he was embarrassed and couldn't shout anymore.
Seeing Qiu Gongyue so angry, he originally wanted to apologize, but he couldn't say the words.
Forget it, if she really runs away from home, as long as she still wants to learn the fourth level breathing method, she will come back on her own.
Just when Xu Cheng was about to turn around and go home to play games, he found that the taxi in front of him had stopped.
Qiu Gongyue opened the car door and got out of the car, walked quickly to Xu Cheng, grabbed his collar, pulled his face suddenly in front of her, gritted her teeth and said: "I'm just going on a business trip, and I'll be back in a few days. Are you here?"
What’s the name of the ghost on the street?”
Xu Cheng said speechlessly: "Going on a business trip? You should have told me earlier, I thought you were going to run away from home."
You just ran away from home.
Qiu Gongyue let go of Xu Cheng's collar, glared at him angrily, then turned back to the taxi and said calmly: "Driver, let's drive."
The old driver glanced at the rearview mirror and smiled: "That's right. If a young couple has any conflicts, they can just talk it over clearly. Look how happy you are smiling. Just like my wife, every time I quarrel, I cajole you.
I laughed after I recovered."
I laughed?
Qiu Gongyue subconsciously reached out and touched her face. Sure enough, there was an uncontrollable smile on her face.
She was stunned. Ever since she became sensible, the desire for revenge and the burden of reviving the family have been pressing on her. How long has it been since she smiled so happily?
Why are you smiling so happily because of the antics of that guy outside?
Qiu Gongyue thought absentmindedly and gradually fell into confusion.
…
When Xu Cheng returned home, he discovered that there was a bicycle suddenly at the door of his house.
He was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed an expression of disbelief. He had lost so many bicycles, but one day a bicycle would come to his door on its own?
Is this my dream car?
Xu Cheng's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but bring the bicycle into his home. Even if the owner came to visit, he would still spend money to buy it.
For him, the probability of having a bicycle delivered to his door is lower than the chance of winning 5 million.
With joy, Xu Cheng returned to the bedroom, ready to play two games to celebrate, when he received a text message from Qiu Gongyue.
In the text message, Akimiya explained the reason why she wanted to return to the branch, and also told Xu Cheng that Arakawa Buntai was looking for him everywhere.
"Looking for me everywhere?"
Xu Cheng thought for a while and suddenly guessed the reason.
Last night at the Conrad Hotel, Xu Cheng finally used the identity of the killer card to take away the eight-foot-old Qiong Magatama, deliberately letting many people see it.
The Protectorate has always cooperated with the Grant of the Dead. If his identity as a killer is found out, he will definitely find himself through the Grant of the Dead.
Xu Cheng subconsciously wanted to go back with Qiu Gongyue, but if there was no mission, the killer card could only last for two hours, and it would take too long to return to the branch and it would be easy to be exposed.
In the end, he could only send a text message to Qiu Gongyue, telling her to contact him immediately if there was any trouble.
I originally thought that Qiu Gongyue would not reply, but unexpectedly she replied with three words.
"knew."
