Ji Ba put his hands in his pockets, with his signature unruly smile still on his face. After walking through countless small alleys, Ji Ba suddenly stopped while strolling.
"Tsk." Ji Ba clicked his tongue impatiently.
"You've been following me for so long, why don't you come up and say hello?" Ji Ba said to the figure behind him.
"You are still as leisurely as ever." The figure stepped forward and appeared in front of Ji Ba.
It was an acquaintance—or rather, Ji Ba’s colleague and Kamijou Rikake’s assistant—Chu Kuangge.
"Oh, it's not the same for you. If you have the spare time to follow me, you might as well analyze the code." Ji Ba said disdainfully, "Or do you think I will do something detrimental?"
Chu Kuangge chuckled: "I don't dare to do something so rude. I acted like this just because I was purely worried about our 'pillars'."
"The way you talk is really irritating." Ji Ba frowned unnaturally, and then relaxed his brows immediately.
"You know, right? If you want to parse that code, you have to use his power." Ji Ba put on a contemptuous smile, "But how can we get that person to help us? Here we need to use a little bit
techniques.”
"Getting inside them...is this the little trick you're talking about?"
"Haha, it doesn't matter if I tell you. This is just one of them. Don't worry, I won't do anything too extreme."
Chu Kuangge did not answer, and after a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "Although I know that I have no say in this matter, and from my position, I am not qualified to say such things... but... it's best...
It’s better not to drag those innocent people into this matter.”
"Oh?" Ji Ba squinted his eyes, "What a miracle~ Dr. Kamijou's assistant would say such words that are inconsistent with his status."
As he spoke, Ji Ba walked towards Chu Kuangge and looked Chu Kuangge up and down: "As a researcher, shouldn't we aim at experimental research and do whatever it takes? Isn't this what Kamijou Rikake has always done?
Hey hey, what's wrong with you?"
"First of all, you made a mistake. Kamijou Ryukake and I are not in a superior-subordinate relationship, but he is studying ancient stone tablets, and I happen to be interested in that stuff, so we cooperated."
"Humph...is that so?" Ji Ba put his hands on the back of his head and continued walking down the alley, "That's really boring."
"Wait a minute..." Chu Kuangge stopped Ji Ba who was about to leave.
"kindness?"
"You... Ji Ba?" Chu Kuangge showed a confused expression.
"Oh~ That's just my trumpet account... Normally it's used to pick up girls, but this time the situation is special and there's no time to open a new trumpet account." Ji Ba - no, it should be Ji Shen said this.
"Okay... your trumpet is as wretched as your person." Chu Kuangge turned around, turned his back to Ji Shen and prepared to leave.
"Hey... I want you to take care of it." After glancing at Chu Kuangge, Ji Shen continued to move forward.
However……
"who is it?"
Almost at the same time, Ji Shen and Chu Kuangge shouted together, followed by the sound of distant footsteps coming from the end of the alley.
"It seems to have been eavesdropped." After only being nervous for a short while, Chu Kuangge looked gloating.
But Ji Shen didn't seem to care.
"Find that eavesdropper for me." Ji Shen said matter-of-factly.
"I'm not your subordinate!"
"Oh? In this case, I don't think I'm going too far as I said before, 'I won't do anything that goes too far.'" Ji Shen looked at Chu Kuangge with a half-smile but not a smile.
"Tsk~ Your heart is as despicable as your face." Chu Kuangge said and turned to leave.
"Hehe." Ji Shen smiled nonchalantly and walked away without looking back.
When Chu Kuangge walked out of the alley, the eavesdropper had already disappeared. However, Chu Kuangge had no real intention to follow Ji Shen's instructions. After a symbolic look around, he walked in the direction of the hotel.
…
South of town.
Like a dilapidated bell tower——a building that is inconsistent with Academy City stands here.
After pushing open the somewhat shabby wooden door on the ground floor, the figure came into view into the somewhat moldy antique-level building.
"Looking at you, you must have heard it, right?" Following the voice, I saw a young man in blue tights and a red gun in his hand. Like Ji Shen, the smile on the corner of this man's mouth always makes people feel a little bit...
Discomfort.
"Yes, I heard it." The visitor closed the wooden door. After the strong light disappeared, Luo Jia's figure became clearer.
"Yeah, yeah, he is really a cute and reliable junior~ Come on, let me touch my head~" At this moment, Cú Chulainn looked like a strange man.
But such behavior made Luojia roll his eyes.
"Ah ah ah, it's so boring~" Cu Chulainn sighed with dissatisfaction at being treated like this, "Hassan hasn't come back yet, and you are like this... I am really bored to the point of bursting!"
"What a pervert! Besides, is she still unwell?" Luojia cursed Medusa, who was sitting alone in the corner.
"Her?" Cu Chulainn glanced at Medusa, "Forget it, this guy has always been indifferent. If he talks to her... he might be petrified by her."
"Haha, then I won't be petrified...what a pity." Luojia shook his head.
"By the way, let's not talk about this for now. What did you hear?"
"Ah...it's not a big deal. In other words, it's all within Aini's guess. Then we just need to see the results from Hassan's side."
At this moment, Luojia is standing here as the envoy of the underworld.
"By the way, Luojia, how did you merge with Bu using that technique in the first place?"
"Ah? Fusion? Please, can you speak through your brain? I'm just giving the disembodied Ayumu a container to live in."
"But why did I choose you?"
"Um...I don't know either. I've asked Bu before, but Bu said he didn't know why he found me." Luojia said ambiguously.
"Are these two people destined to be together?" Cu Chulainn said, stroking his chin and nodding.
"If you are saying such meaningless things, I promise to let my knife slash your crotch." Luojia said, waving the silver knife that was pinned to the outside of his thigh with a belt.
"Oh my, you are really not a cute junior like this."
Ding--
Cu Chulainn's red spear and Luojia's silver knife came into close contact.
"Tsk... the speed is still too slow." Luo Jia put away the knife with some disappointment.
