03. Little handsome guys who are chasing books~ Come and be happy here~
"Do you need me to splash water on your face to wake you up?"
"Hey hehe..." Mu Su sat up and scratched his head and giggled.
"I'm not complimenting you."
"Then I can be a mascot! I just don't have to do anything and just go around acting cute."
"If you dare to act cute, I will resign."
"I'm sorry, please forgive me!" Mu Su decisively admitted her mistake, pretending that nothing happened, took a sip from the water glass, and suddenly smacked her lips.
"Huh? What kind of water is this?"
"The cup you gave me."
"oh."
Mu Su put down the water glass, walked to the bed with an expressionless face, threw himself down, and fell asleep.
Shi Qi looked sideways on the sofa, looked away for a long time, and started working on the holographic screen.
The sunlight on the iron dome gradually disappeared from east to west, and the light projected onto the ground gradually disappeared. When the room gradually darkened, Shi Qi stood up and closed the holographic screen. Without looking at Mu Su, who was still sleeping, he turned around and left and closed the door.
A quiet night.
The figure on the bed was motionless.
Early the next morning, Shi Qi showed up on time, glanced at Mu Su who was still lying on the bed, turned on the holographic screen and started working.
For a long time after that, the room remained relatively quiet.
Until Mu Su's eyelids moved and slowly opened.
"What? I only slept for an hour. I thought the medicine was not effective." Mu Su stood up and quickly covered his mouth.
When Musu realized that it had been a month since he had slept for a day.
He muttered that he was thirsty and hungry, and sat down next to Shi Qi. He subconsciously reached for the water, but suddenly realized that the water was not drinkable. He quickly held down his right hand with his left hand and smiled sneer at Shi Qi who looked up at him.
Shi Qi ignored Mu Su's little move and reported the office situation to Mu Su like a professional assistant: "Sir, a client has made an appointment and he will come at one o'clock in the afternoon. It is recommended that you decorate the room. Otherwise, it will affect the client.
Impressions of our firm.”
Mu Su leaned on the sofa, raised the five fingers of his right hand and pushed back his hair, and said proudly: "Since someone is here so quickly, I would say there is no need to worry about not having any customers."
After he finished speaking, a message popped up on the holographic screen.
Someone came to consult.
"I'll do it!" Mu Su volunteered to open the message.
【Are you there?】
Mu Su responded quickly.
[If you just want to ask if you are there, then I don’t have time to reply to such a meaningless question.]
"Your style of doing things is really refreshing." Shi Qi said coldly, not sure if he was praising him or sarcastically.
[Uh... That's it, something happened around me recently... I went to the hospital and they didn't find anything wrong. I suspect...]
【supernatural event.】
【Yeah, that's right...I think your firm can handle it.】
[Please rest assured, we, Qingye Keke... Our Seventeen Paranormal Detective Agency are very experienced in this type of incident. 】
[Is your office in the 14th Ring Road? I am in Alpha City. When is the best time to go there? 】
"You can ask him to come over at one o'clock in the afternoon. The meeting of two clients will make us look marketable." Shi Qi reminded Mu Su.
[You can ask him to come over at one o'clock in the afternoon. The meeting of two clients will make us look like there is a market.]
Mu Su sent it without missing a word, and then felt the cold gaze from the side.
【What……?】
[Come here at one o'clock in the afternoon, the address is the outskirts of Beta City...]
Mu Su coughed dryly and stood up: "You answer him, I will go to the old couple to borrow some things to decorate the room."
He would never admit that he had forgotten the address.
All the way downstairs and out, the old man was watering the flowers in the front yard. After explaining his purpose, he enthusiastically led Mu Su to the basement, where most of the old things were kept.
…
In Room 301, Shi Qi followed the movement of the transport robot with his eyes.
A coat rack was placed behind the door, 1 meter by 1 meter in size, and an abstract oil painting of unknown meaning was hung on the wall. A solid wood desk, matching boss chair and bookcase were placed in the corner. Books, desk lamps, ashtrays and notebooks
All pens and pens are provided. A heavy, hundreds-of-year-old old-fashioned safe is placed close to the desk. A pair of scattered chessmen is placed on it. The tea table that was moved up yesterday has a hollow tablecloth. It is deep
Colored wood panel wallpaper replaced the original plain color.
Everything is arranged properly, and the room actually has the style of a detective agency from the 18th and 19th centuries.
It's just that the big bed is too conspicuous.
Da da--
Crisp footsteps entered the room from the corridor, approaching this way.
Shi Qi, who had been sitting upright on the sofa from beginning to end, paused with his fingers and slightly turned his head to look at the door.
A figure appeared outside the door.
A suitable black suit with an ivory white shirt, leaning lazily in front of the door. A pure black hat covered his short black hair. There was a lonely confusion between the figure's brows, revealing the solemnity of Shakespeare's tragedy. Falling
Those eyes as deep as the night burst out with a complex temperament that wandered between strength and fragility.
Sunlight like holy light poured on the figure's body, and the light slowly crossed his face, as if the top sculptor was using a carving knife to outline the angular face bit by bit.
Shi Qi raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but look at it carefully.
"Did you fall in love with me?"
The depressed voice overflowed.
Shi Qi returned his attention to the holographic screen.
"Tsk." Mu Su curled his lips in displeasure, took off his top hat and hung it on the coat rack. He unbuttoned his tight clothes and walked over to the sofa. He sat down in the boss's chair behind the desk and put his hands on the armrests.
On top of it, his body was swaying from side to side in boredom.
The whole thing was found in the basement. Old man Gu said it belonged to his great-grandfather. Mu Su tried it on and unexpectedly found it fit, so he borrowed it as a matter of course.
All that's left now is a pair of gentleman's crutches, Musu thought to himself.
Time gradually passed and came to afternoon.
Shi Qi sat upright, using the holographic screen, and Mu Su looked up at the ceiling in boredom.
"Sir, both clients have arrived. I will pick them up."
The cold voice woke Mu Su up. The former stood up, closed the holographic screen, and took away a document bag on the table and went out.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and before Mu Su could shout to come in, Shi Qi had already led a middle-aged man through the door.
The middle-aged man dressed casually and looked a little haggard and neurasthenic. He walked across from Mu Su and did not dare to sit down.
Shi Qiqing closed the door and handed a piece of paper information to Mu Su. He turned to comfort the client: "Please rest assured that you are safe here, they dare not come in."
The more beautiful a woman is, the better she lies.
Mu Su tightened her palms holding the information and gritted her teeth in displeasure.
Bastard, you've never been so gentle to me.
I don't know if it worked. The middle-aged man felt a little calmer and sat down. He took a long breath and said, "The decoration here is really nice."
Mu Su looked at the paper on which the middle-aged man's information was written. Without raising his eyes, he said casually: "You encountered a supernatural event, right? Can you tell me in detail."
This topic made the middle-aged man stiffen slightly, and he spoke with a stumble: "Every morning when I... look in the mirror, I see strange pictures in the mirror..."
