Chapter 138, Weeds
-
The sparrows on the telephone poles outside the window are chirping, as if summer has already arrived.

The coquettish voices of young girls could be heard from the grass of the playground. It seemed that some boys were joking with the girls during training.

There is harmony.

He has always wanted to avoid having anything to do with the "Dragon Clan".

But before he knew it, he seemed to be sinking deeper and deeper.

Reality is not a fairy tale. Utsunomiya Shuo never looks down on anyone, let alone Long...

After a simple process of elimination, it is easy to come to a conclusion.

The person who targeted him this time was Herzog, whom Utsunomiya Shuo had always been trying to avoid.

The result was pretty much what he expected.

There was no such thing as setting up a route, setting up a venue, or sending someone to invite him to a tea party for a face-to-face conversation. Herzog directly kidnapped the people around him, without explaining any procedures to you, and he didn't care about the procedures...

Utsunomiya Shuo didn't know why he chose Kanda instead of his parents.

But it didn't matter, since they could kidnap Kanda in public, his parents would naturally have no power to resist.

"System? Tongzi?"

"Great Sage? The Great Sage has activated the preliminary plan!"

Of course, there was no response.

He let out a long breath, then took out his cell phone and called back the number he had called before.

beep - beep -

beep--

beep - beep -

The beeping sound lasted for a long time and the call was not picked up.

Until the phone went busy, the female announcer's conventional lines in Japanese came from the receiver.

Utsunomiya Shuo remained calm and dialed again.

Beep——drop!

The call is connected.

Utsunomiya Shuo put the phone to his ear, without turning on the speakerphone and without speaking first.

"..."

"..."

There was no sound on the other end of the phone.

The atmosphere became quiet for a moment.

But no one hung up the phone first.

Utsunomiya Shuo didn't say anything because he wanted to listen to the other person's voice first to confirm whether it was really what he thought.

He didn't know the other party's reason for not saying anything at first...but now he knows.

Pre-emptive strike.

The other party has taken the initiative, and now he is the one who needs it. The other party is not anxious, he is the one who should be anxious, and he should also be the one who feels the pressure.

Zhuo also felt the pressure.

The conversation hasn't even started yet, but this psychological game has already surpassed me.

Zhuo also basically confirmed the other party's identity: "もしもし?" (mo shi mo shi) This sentence is equivalent to saying "Hello? Hello?" when making a phone call.

"Hehehe——" First there was a series of hoarse, low laughs like a blower.

Zhuo really wanted to say: Are you laughing at your mother?
Unfortunately not.

"Is Utsunomiya-kun participating in the fun games?" The other person's voice was smoky, as if he was speaking through an electric fan.

The tone is frivolous.

"The project I signed up for has ended. May I ask who it is?"

Utsunomiya Shuo remained polite and answered the other person's question first before asking his own question.

“Oh~~What about the two-legged race later?” the person on the other end of the phone asked, with a casual tone and caring words, like an elder caring for his grandchildren.

"I don't know."

"Oh? Why?" "Maybe there aren't enough people."

"So that's how it is..." There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and then the question turned 180 degrees, "Utsunomiya-kun didn't answer the phone before, was it because of the Russian screw girl next to him?"

“……” Utsunomiya Shuo was silent for a moment. He didn’t know how to react.

From these words, it can be heard that Herzog is monitoring himself.

I am now pretending to be an ordinary student who knows nothing about the other person. If he is an ordinary student and the girls around him are talked about like this and he is being monitored like this, how should he react?
Maybe I should be angry.

But Zhuo couldn't empathize.

He is a person who lives in the era of big data, an era where if a word is mentioned frequently in daily life, related advertisements can be promoted to you on mobile apps at night.

Always under surveillance.

So the resistance is very high.

After all, there is no way to resist.

So he couldn't empathize.

I was being monitored? Was I monitored even when I went to the toilet? No? That was nothing.

Probably that's it.

Moreover, in terms of acting skills, ten of him put together probably still cannot rival Herzog. So I won't try to imitate him.

"That's right, because I don't want to involve irrelevant people." Utsunomiya Shuo said, "But I didn't call the police, don't worry. At the same time, I hope you don't hurt my friends."

While being honest, you also have to hide the fact that you don't know the other person's identity.

Otherwise it would be too eye-catching.

Put yourself in his shoes. If he were him, he would also want to kill the person who knew his future plans!

"Hmm? Are you trying to explain that it's inappropriate to be invited to join in when it's clearly a game between classmates?" The person opposite said to himself, "Why would I do something that would embarrass everyone?"

"..." Utsunomiya Zhuo was silent for a moment, "I didn't say that."

"Don't worry," the person on the other side said with a smile. His words sounded very unpleasant, a bit like a person with lung cancer coughing violently. "Actually, I just want to play a game with you."

"Do I have any other options?"

"Of course there are, and you have plenty of room to choose from." The old man on the opposite side smiled lightly, "Kiyono Yosuke, Kohama Seiichiro, Miyamoto Yuji, Sakurai Akira... and Ningyo Jing."

Utsunomiya Shuo pretended not to hear the last name, which might be this guy's purpose...

He actually didn't know whether the legendary Sakurai Akira was among the two people before.

However, the names that Herzog can come up with are probably all mixed-race.

Wouldn't it be unfair to play with them?

They all have super powers.

"The location is at Mt. Nizhi outside Shinjuku. The time is tonight. The name of the game is "Don't Open the Door to the Evil Spirits". I look forward to your performance." The old man said to himself.

It seemed that from the very beginning, the old man didn't care much about Utsunomiya Shuo's answer. He lived completely in his own world and didn't care about the reaction of a small person like Utsunomiya Shuo.

To him, this might really just be a game.

It's just that this game might involve one of his chess pieces, so he had to take part in person... Of course, it's not accurate to say that he took part in person, after all, he hasn't mentioned a word about his identity until now, not even a fake name.

He completely ignored Zhuo's question.

Ego! Arrogance! Pride! No bottom line!

Just through a cell phone conversation over satellite signals, Herzog revealed his true nature.

This is also related to the fact that Zhuo is really too small.

Venomous snakes will camouflage themselves in front of tigers and coil their bodies in front of their prey... but there is no need to do that with roadside weeds.

Zhuo means weeds.

"Oh."

Weed said this and hung up the phone.

　Thanks to my brother who doesn’t want to get wet in the rain for his monthly ticket.

　　thank.

　　Thanks to brother Qu Zhuqingye for the 500-point reward.
