Chapter 252, [Report: Received]

Although I don't like gambling, I know that at the gambling table, the key to victory or defeat is often not the luck of both parties, but the chips.

Whoever loses all his chips first will be eliminated from the game. Even if he has the best cards in his hand, he will lose the ability to continue to follow up.

Obviously, he is the person with the least chips in this gamble in Tokyo.

In a confrontation, when two equally powerful parties are in a stalemate, they will choose to introduce external factors to break the deadlock.

And his appearance was too abrupt and might have unnecessary impact on the performance that had already been planned, which just met this criterion.

Often at this time, the opposing bosses will choose to win him over.

But if the person who can break the balance chooses to watch and not take sides, after all, no matter how much he claims to be harmless and will not get involved in their confrontation, no one will believe him.

In other words, it doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not.

Rather than hoping in vain that this person will keep his promise, the most sensible approach would be to unite and kick him out of the game first.

It's very simple.

So when Mai came to take me away, I wasn't surprised at all. I had already prepared myself mentally for this day.

Even so, when the time comes, I still want to say a few more words to him, the last two words.

I really didn't think about telling on him or betraying him. I just wanted to tell him not to be afraid. I wouldn't let him die alone.

Unfortunately, I was not even given this opportunity.

Since I came out into the outside world, I seldom look in the mirror. The dressing mirror in the closet in my room has always been just a decoration to me. But today, I stood in front of the mirror as if possessed by a ghost, and then took off my clothes one by one.

I looked at my body in the mirror and could see neither advantages nor disadvantages. Am I beautiful? Is this body attractive to men?

Why did it seem to me that this body was dull and lifeless, just that of an ordinary dying woman?

I have been living for nearly 30 years, and my active and passive cultivation is just that extremely strong heart. Today, for the first time, I paid attention to this body, but it did not make me feel much better.

I once remembered telling Zhuo that I was not the likable type, and he said jokingly, "Who said that? Maybe I just happen to like you."

At the time I thought he was just joking, and maybe he was, because we weren't that familiar with each other at the time.

Now that things have come to this, I didn’t expect it to come true.

Then I did a stupid thing, which was to buy a lot of clothes, some youthful and beautiful, some mature and intellectual, some gentle and cute, and then hung them all in the closet, waiting for the day when I needed them.

I know it very well.

No matter whether Zhuo can get through this incident safely or not, he will be kicked out of this gambling game.

If he wants to live, he must reveal his secret; but if he reveals his secret, he will lose his qualifications.

What's more, there is me.

I am still alive.

As long as I am alive, he can't go crazy. And if he doesn't go crazy, he can't overturn the table.

I knew it a long time ago.

This is the beauty trap.

What scares me the most is that I can't be with him at this time. I keep saying that I will meet all his requests and always pretend that I will protect him and worry about him.

But when he needed me the most, I wasn't there.

And no one restricted my movements at all. Even my cell phone was in my hand, and I received text messages from him greeting me every day.

I am such a horrible person.

——Dividing Line——At the Central High School campus, Utsunomiya Shuo and Karasu Yasha stood at the gate.

Zhuo looked back at the school carefully, then turned his head away nonchalantly. Zhuo was originally a rather indifferent person, so it was difficult for him to pretend to be reluctant to leave.

The moment he walked out of the gate of the central university, Zhuo couldn't help but stop and looked around several times.

In the light rain in the evening, snack vendors had already set up their umbrellas and stalls along the street, and they were bargaining with the middle-aged ladies while yawning.

Occasionally, a few children in school uniforms would run around chasing each other, and when they got tired they would return to the stalls to patronize the business.

The man who just got home from get off work was standing shirtless at the door of his house, rinsing his mouth and chatting with passers-by, waiting for his child to return.

In the distance, a young couple was holding an umbrella together, humming an unknown song.

The town, which originally seemed boring in Zhuo's eyes, now seemed to be painted with colors by someone, presenting a vitality that Zhuo had never seen before.

After a long time, Zhuo smiled gently, turned around and got into the car.

Before getting into the car, Zhuo glanced towards the driver's seat for confirmation, and as expected, Yabuki Sakura was there.

After hiding for so many days, I still couldn't escape.

It turns out that even pigs can’t escape.

He was sitting in the back seat between two big men, Crow and Yasha. This feeling was terrible. He didn't know what these mixed-bloods looked like. They looked similar to him, but when they were close together, he found that they were all very big.

It's so crowded.

Zhuo noticed that Sakura Yabuki was observing him through the rearview mirror. It seemed that the gift he gave her before was not in vain and he still had some conscience.

The vehicle started and slowly drove away from the school district street.

Along the way, you can look up and see that the area you are in is marked on an old "satellite map", mostly billboards of shopping malls and office buildings. If you pass through a residential area, you will find something very interesting.

That is, the lights in the entire building will go out in an instant, and then the power will be restored to the residents in a specific location one second later, and the lights will come back on. The residents inside will probably just think it is a technical trip in the fog and rain.

But from the outside, the lit windows form a huge "downward arrow" that is particularly eye-catching.

When their car passes by, the power will be restored as if nothing happened; but the next building will have to go through the same process again...

It's really impressive.

'Um. ’

An unknown and invisible change happened quietly. Utsunomiya Shuo looked at the car window covered with raindrops, feeling neither sad nor happy.
