Game time PM14:57

Academy City Central District, Caizhu Street, in front of [Matcha Rainbow] Branch No. 6

"Ahem, so that's probably the situation."

Mo Tan took the napkin handed over by Yu Chen, and while wiping the cream on the corner of his mouth, he explained seriously: "I don't know where the fugitive came from, but he actually alerted Captain Foster. As a result, Mo and I He pulled me back, but having said that, even if we didn't run into him, we probably wouldn't have been able to get back as soon as possible, after all, the whole street was blocked by the law enforcement team."

"Yeah, Xiaoge and I saw a lot of law enforcement team members, and we were quite scared at the time."

Yu Chen nodded vigorously and smiled at Mo Tan: "Thank you for your hard work."

The latter immediately waved his hand and said with a sneer: "I don't have anything to do. I just worked around for a while, and finally let people run away."

"But it's weird!"

Finally finished licking the cone, the winged girl who was munching the cone pouted and looked at Mo Tan in confusion: "There are so many members of the law enforcement team, even if they block the streets, they can mobilize twenty or thirty people. Why don’t we let you two non-staff members get involved?”

Mo Tan, who had already perfected his words countless times in his heart, suddenly gave a wry smile, spread his hands and said: "It was mainly an accident. I won the captain once in the League of War, and I owe him a favor, so even if Foster said I wasn’t very serious about it, and it was hard for both of us to refuse.”

"What?"

Ji Xiaoge immediately opened his eyes and asked curiously: "I know you eliminated Foster in that league before. When did Mo owe him a favor?"

"cough……"

When Yu Chen heard this, he coughed slightly, stretched out his little hand and tugged on Ji Xiaoge's sleeve, and whispered, "Bail."

Ji Xiaoge was stunned at first, and then recalled that not long after he came to Academy City, he seemed to have dragged someone to participate in a cooking competition, and then he was detained.

The people who came to bail the two people at that time were none other than Fortune Saint Fiari, a formal member of the United Holy Church delegation, and her good sister Yu Chen. The person responsible for the aftermath was the captain of the law enforcement team, Foster Wo. Virtue.

"Okay, so we do owe him a favor."

Ji Xiaoge drooped his wings dejectedly, muttered something with his mouth flat, and then looked at Mo Tan again: "So you guys helped arrest people for a while, and then Mo went offline because something happened?"

"That's right."

Mo Tan smiled tiredly and said while rubbing his forehead: "He said he would be online very late, so we don't have to wait for him."

Ji Xiaoge sighed helplessly, threw the last piece of the cone into his mouth, and glanced at Mo Tan: "Tired?"

"A little bit, but not bad."

The latter gave an ambiguous answer.

"Then let's rest today. Anyway, Chen Chen and I had a great time shopping, and you and Mo also exchanged feelings together."

Ji Xiaoge fluttered her wings and flew behind Yuchen, smiling and squeezing the other person's sore shoulders, and said with a smile: "It would be too cruel to let you accompany us for a walk again, and hugging each other can easily cause hatred. , I heard that you are very good at it. If a few people come out and want to play rogue, you may not be able to handle it."

Mo Tan: "..."

"Then see you later. Anyway, we're about to start school, and we'll see him every day. Just meeting each other in the game will make us feel fresh, and if Mo is interested in me, it wouldn't be appropriate to continue playing without him. La~"

Ji Xiaoge rubbed Yuchen's little face, then winked at Mo Tan, and then strolled towards the outer city, waving his hand coolly as he walked.

Mo Tan and Yu Chen watched Ji Xiaoge until the girl's beautiful back disappeared at the end of the street.

What followed was a slightly awkward silence...

two minutes later

"Classmate Xiaoge is a little unhappy."

Yuchen sighed softly and suddenly muttered something in a low voice.

"ah?"

His thoughts accidentally wandered to other places. Mo Tan, who was completely unaware of this, was slightly stunned and said in astonishment: "Is there any? I can't tell at all..."

Yu Chen lightly tapped Mo Tan's head and said with a smile: "Logically speaking, I should say 'Hei Fan, you won't find a girlfriend if you do this', but it's too cliché, so let's forget it."

"I've obviously already said it..."

Mo Tan complained angrily and cooperated very cooperatively, pretending to be hurt by the beating.

"Xiao Ge was really looking forward to having a good time with us."

Yuchen pushed Mo Tan down on the bench for diners, went around to the back and gently pressed Mo Tan's head while complaining in a low voice: "What on earth are you doing..."

Suddenly, Mo Tan's cheeks that were slowly turning red immediately turned pale, and he even forgot to stop the girl's slightly intimate 'massage'.

"Well, it seems like it's something that can't be said."

Not showing any dissatisfaction because of the other party's silence, Yuchen just shook his head helplessly and casually changed the subject: "So, what are you going to help with?"

"Mo helps in the fight."

Mo Tan coughed slightly and twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment: "What I say... help me make plans."

"So this person has been with sister Theresa all this time?"

"ha?!"

"Isn't that right? I remember Theresa is Captain Foster's school girl, right? She even competed for him last time. If we really want to plan any arrests, she should be the one taking the lead, right?"

"No, no, no, she is not the leader! Although she did participate, we have never met today."

"Oh~ It turns out we met yesterday. Is it just to chat with Sister Teresa when you came online so early?"

"No, no...there are others..."

"So you did go to meet Sister Theresa yesterday?"

"Well……"

"How annoying."

"Yes, yes, I didn't think well enough. I shouldn't have..."

"I mean me."

"ah?"

"I mean, I'm so annoying."

While rubbing Mo Tan's head, which was aching due to the voluntary number change, Yu Chen said softly: "I obviously didn't want to get to the bottom of it, I obviously wanted to act indifferent, but I still give you Hei Fan such a headache."

Mo Tan's body trembled, and then he suddenly grabbed Yu Chen's slender wrist and said without looking back, "Having a headache or something has nothing to do with you."

As a result, the girl snorted softly. Although she didn't say a word, she could hear very obvious dissatisfaction from it.

"Ahem, what I mean is that I do have a 'headache' in the physical sense at the moment, but it has nothing to do with you. It is entirely due to my own reasons, and it is much better now."

Mo Tan added with some embarrassment, the implication being that although the pain in my head now is not because of you, it does not mean that I have never been mentally worried because of you.

Admittedly, the implication may be a little complicated, but Yuchen should still understand it, because after hearing Mo Tan's words, she suddenly broke away from Mo Tan's hand and continued to rub the head in front of her that was said to be a little painful. He pressed it gently and whispered, "I'm so annoying anyway."

"If you're annoying, you have to have someone to annoy."

Mo Tan lazily closed his eyes and said in a brisk tone: "If no one is annoyed, then..."

Yu Chen blinked his eyes: "What is that?"

"Pretentious."

"..."

"Ah, it hurts, it hurts!!!"

"Who's being pretentious?"

"Let go, let go, let go!!"

"Am I being hypocritical?"

"Me, me, me, me! I'm pretentious! I'm pretentious!"

"Is the physical headache now because of me?"

"Yes, yes! Oh my god, why are your hands so strong in the game!"

"The mental headache has always been because of me, right?"

"Yes, yes, please let go! My head!"

"That's annoying, isn't it?"

"Won't."

"Um?!"

"Even if you smash my head in, it won't happen."

"..."

Yu Chen suddenly lowered his hand in frustration, then lowered his head and hit the back of Mo Tan's head hard: "You are annoying!"

Mo Tan grinned, shrugged and said, "I don't deny this."

"Hmph~"

Yu Chen, who stopped pressing Mo Tan's head because of pain in his hand, sat next to Mo Tan and suddenly asked, "Who was that Hei Fan when we were shopping before?"

Mo Tan's pale complexion suddenly turned green. Although he immediately adjusted his mental state, his voice still trembled slightly: "Huh?"

"I said……"

The girl turned her head and blinked at Mo Tan, with a smile as bright as a flower: "Hei Fan didn't even accompany me shopping properly before, please make up for it now~"

Game time PM18:13

Academy City Central District, [Stars] top floor of high-end hotel chain, Suite Zero

"So that's probably what happened."

Sitting opposite Diana who was curled up on the sofa, Futaba, who had put on her clothes before the man in front of her came back, flipped through the book "The Travels of Mad Mage Aldum" in her hand and said lightly: "Use her own In other words, I should be resting this time... Well, I think I was actually in a coma for about three months, so I shouldn't be able to say goodbye to you properly. She made you a pot of coffee before she went to the street. It was very hard to drink, so I just Sneaking a drink, that’s all.”

Frank Hughes on the side was silent for a long time after hearing this. Then he walked slowly to Diana, half-kneeling on the ground and gently caressing her cheek. After a while, he shook his head with a wry smile: "How could that be? so?"

"I have no idea."

Futaba replied without raising her head, and then added: "If one of us knows why, it will only be you."

"Sorry, I'm not in the mood to cooperate with your testing games right now..."

Frank turned back and smiled apologetically at Futaba, then took a deep breath, stood up and asked, "Can you tell me the specific situation? What did Diana do to make her unconscious?"

Futaba closed the book with a 'snap', lazily raised her head and looked at Frank, who was rarely gloomy, and chuckled: "What's the use of telling you? Are you just an ordinary bard? Is it possible? Can you still wake her up?"

"That's my business."

Frank narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly: "You just need to tell me the cause and effect and what happened in the middle."

"I have no obligation."

Futaba lazily hugged the cushion and said absently: "But I can be sure that even if Diana is indeed a very powerful astrologer, she probably can't account for what happened to the outside world during this period, so You don’t have to be so explicit.”

Frank's always calm and gentle eyes became sharp for the first time, and he said in a deep voice: "I told you, I'm not in the mood to cooperate with Futaba's testing games now. No matter what you are suspecting, I just want to do it now." Know why something happened to Diana!"

The girl chuckled lightly and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Are you expressing your dissatisfaction to me?"

"I'm asking you."

Frank shook his head and said with a wry smile: "At most, I'm a little anxious..."

Futaba's expression remained calm, and she just said lightly: "It does seem like this, but I'm not sure if it's your acting skills. After all, your performance in the last copy was really amazing. To be honest, you didn't The reason why I still believe in you without reservation after going through that thing is that you can become anyone you want to be, Frank, you know what I mean."

"Mr. Shu Ling's fantasy is, in the final analysis, just a game."

Frank walked slowly to Futaba and looked at him with stern eyes: "But this is not an illusion, nor is it a copy of what you said, it is reality."

"Answer me, where were you before you came back?"

"Educating my harmlessness to Evie Lehman in an attempt to get her to let me go."

"The results of it?"

"It was nothing. She seemed to have other things to do. She was called away without saying a few words."

"Why didn't you come back as soon as possible?"

"Before she left, she told me not to go anywhere until she came back."

"Then what? Did she go back to find you?"

"No, but not long ago, I noticed that a teenager walked into a tea restaurant with Ms. Lehman, who was in a severe coma and covered in blood."

"Why did a young man bring Evie, who was covered in blood, into a tea restaurant?"

"I don't know, but I thought she couldn't go back to me, so she came back."

"Is that your answer?"

"Yes."

Under Futaba's scrutinizing gaze, Frank nodded slightly, but his eyes were not calm: "So, please tell me why Diana is unconscious and what did she see?"

"It can be seen that you really want to know the reason from the bottom of your heart."

Futaba rolled her eyes and asked dryly: "Out of love for her?"

Frank didn't speak, but clenched his hands slightly.

"Well, in Diana's own words, she seemed to have seen something indescribably bad."

The girl did not continue to tell the truth, and told the truth happily: "It seems to be something very abstract, which combines the characteristics of 'you will go crazy if you look at it for a long time', 'weird', and 'can distort the conceptual starry sky of a great astrologer'" Waiting for a series of strange characteristics, it is obvious that that is the culprit of Diana’s downfall.”

"Thank you, Futaba..."

Frank was silent for a long time before he showed a sincere smile to the girl in front of him.

Then, Mo Tan, who turned to look at Diana, breathed a sigh of relief because he found the 'answer', and playfully winked at the clumsy Sleeping Beauty on the sofa——

"Good night, darling, have sweet dreams."
