Without the slightest hesitation, Shokuhou Misaki pressed the remote control hard.
The clown who was holding her and was about to put her on the bed paused for a moment.
"Don't mess around~" The girl's overly sweet voice sounded deep in her consciousness.
When he came back to his senses, the buffoon—Ling Qianji already found that time seemed to have stopped, and the surroundings were dark, only himself and the girl in his arms still retained their original colors.
He tried to turn his head and look in other directions around him.
"I told you not to move around." Shokuhou Misaki warned again.
"You are the one, don't act rashly." Ling Qianji responded, "Are you threatening me?"
"Of course!" Shokuhou Misaki raised his eyebrows, "Don't underestimate me, people say it's level 5, it's 'psychological mastery'!"
"Psychological mastery..." Ling Qianji chuckled, "But I'm just a puppet now, will your ability really work for me?"
"Hmph, the current conversation shows that the ability is effective!" Shokuhou Misaki said proudly, "And your current state... your consciousness is stored in those 'suspect liquids', isn't it?"
Ling Qianji was silent for a moment: "Insufficient information, it seems that the outside world has misjudged your ability to a certain extent. You are indeed a reclusive queen."
"Well, after all, their battle is an intelligence war." After being praised, Shokuhou Misaki looked very happy, "So you have to know that as long as someone is willing, they can completely erase your consciousness and personality."
"It's really a simple and rude threat." Ling Qianji said, but there was not much tension in his tone, "I think I probably know your purpose, so don't worry, 'we' have reached an agreement, and there will be no conflict... temporary."
"Really?" Shokuhou Misaki was noncommittal, the hand holding the remote control was still firmly on Ling Qian's body.
"Yes." Ling Qianji nodded, "That guy Xingye and I are now in a state of cooperation against the enemy."
Then, he turned to ask: "Could it be that you came here this time just for me?"
"It's for the starry night~" Shokuhou Misaki emphasized.
"It's a good thing you found our state." Ling Qianji sighed.
"Senior Shiranui discovered it," Shokuhou Misaki pointed out, "Do you think that based on her relationship and familiarity with Xingye, as well as her ability...wouldn't be able to discover your existence?"
She went on to say: "Actually, Senior Shiranui asked someone to deal with your problem~ After all, Senior Shiranui is a 'memory builder' and is not good at operations such as erasing memories."
"What a decisive and ruthless judgment." Ling Qianji smiled wryly, "Also, that guy Xingye is the only one who is enviable..."
"It's obvious that you're alone, but you and Xingye's split personality is really serious, it feels a bit disgusting." Shokuhou Misaki said with a frown.
"Yeah, Xingye and I are essentially the same person." Ling Qianji nodded, "So, since you like Xingye, you probably wouldn't really attack me, would you?"
As he spoke, Ling Qianji stretched out his hand and gently pushed away the remote control on his body.
Click!
With his movements, the surrounding space seemed to be broken, the gray background environment was broken, and the world returned to color; the frozen time began to flow.
Consciousness returned to the real world, and the puppet clown made the same movement—reaching out and pushing the remote control away.
Shokuhou Misaki didn't resist, and let the clown continue to follow the actions just now, putting her on the bed.
The verbal confrontation in the conscious world is only a short moment in the real world. Even Ling Xingye, who was manipulating the clown, couldn't notice anything unusual.
However, the subtle movement of the clown pushing away the remote control on his own initiative failed to escape Ling Xingye's attention.
Immediately, the clown's whole body was taut with silk threads, manipulating its movements became the chains that restrained it.
After putting down Shokuhou Misaki, immediately control the clown to return here.
Shokuhou Misaki blinked at him, pressed the remote control, and sent the last sentence into his consciousness: "What I like is the starry night, and it's just the starry night."
"Oh, I'm so jealous!" Ling Qianji muttered and left.
When passing in front of him, Ling Xingye warned in a low voice: "Don't move around, don't do unnecessary things!"
The clown did not touch or react at all, just like a real puppet, following the manipulation from the silk thread and returning to the corner.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Ling Xingye seemed to hear the clown's "hum" vaguely.
Ling Xingye stared at the clown for a while before giving up.
At this time, the door in the middle of the wall was pushed open again.
"Ah, I forgot to lock it..." Ling Xingye sighed with a heavy heart.
"Don't sigh!" Shokuhou Misaki said, "I really didn't mean to disturb you this time, because the bathroom next door doesn't have hot water, so I'll borrow your bathroom."
Shokuhou Misaki was holding a pile of toiletries, with an innocent expression on his face.
Because the elements of the performance are too deliberate, it makes people feel a little refreshing.
"Go, go..." Ling Xingye pointed back to his bathroom.
Although he knew that Shokuhou Misaki was deliberately teasing, but there was no good reason to refuse.
Because Ling Xingye knew that the bathroom next door did not have hot water.
Because it is a "borrowing" relationship, the next door lacks a lot of daily household appliances such as air conditioners, TV sets, water heaters, etc. Kanzaki Kaori is an electrical idiot, and he has no intention of supplementing these equipment.
And although Kanzaki Kaori is a Japanese who likes to take baths, she has been used to strict practice since she was a child, and bathing in cold water seems to be part of her practice, so she does not demand hot water supply.
Kanzaki Kaori would go to bathhouses or hot springs with Amakusa-style girls when she really misses hot baths.
But these—whether it is not taking a bath or bathing in cold water, are unacceptable challenges for the delicate young lady.
Shokuhou Misaki showed a smug smile, and hummed a happy tune to borrow the bathroom of Ling Xingye's house.
"The door is not locked, so no peeking is allowed☆"
"Lock it up for me!" Ling Xingye complained helplessly.
While Shokuhou Misaki was taking a bath, Ling Xingye came to the next room.
The apartment has been renovated and furnished, including air conditioner, TV, computer and other equipment, but lacks a water heater…
"Have you calculated it from the beginning? It's really... I spent too much thought on unnecessary places!"
Ling Xingye was a little hesitant, whether it would be more appropriate to call Shiranui Tong Ye over.
Shokuhou Misaki's blunt attack of self-throwing a net is really beyond expectations, and it is a bit difficult to parry.
Soon, the girl came out wrapped in a bath towel, her arms, calves and shoulders were boldly exposed, and her fair skin turned a faint rose color due to the high temperature. Surrounded by water vapor, full of ambiguous atmosphere.
"Xingye, I saved the bath water for you."
"Hey, you are actually Heizi Shirai in disguise, right?" Ling Xingye smiled wryly ~www..com~ I didn't expect the queen to have such a side..."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and picked up the girl.
Shokuhou Misaki exclaimed "Yeah", but soon felt that this scene seemed familiar.
It's just a change from a puppet to a real person.
Ling Xingye sent her back to her room: "It's getting late, go to bed early, good night."
Speechlessly watching Ling Xingye return to the next door, and close the door, Shokuhou Misaki tore off the bath towel on her body - she was wearing a swimsuit inside, and all her vital parts were tightly wrapped.
Sighing sadly, it was because he saw clearly that he had no evil thoughts towards him in his heart, that's why Shokuhou Misaki dared to tease him so boldly and presumptuously.
But because of this, I feel even more uncomfortable.
"Hitomi Shiranui, your ability (charm) is too strong, isn't it?"
