When Zhe Lang left the factory, he once again looked at what the workers were dealing with.At that moment, he thought it was a famous car model, but it was not, and the size was also different, but it was just a clever imitation of the fake appearance.There was an introduction brochure at the entrance of the factory, and Zhe Lang picked up one at random. While waiting in the coffee shop designated by Tateishi Zhuo, he opened the introduction brochure.Curve Co., Ltd. seems to be a company that makes the original body of the car.The basic car body is a domestic car, and various car bodies are manufactured according to the requirements of customers.The sense of superiority of owning a unique car in the world seems to have a strong appeal to car fans, and the recent reservations are almost fully booked.

Zhe Lang remembered what Saeki Kari's mother said, and it seemed that it was Kari's dream to work in designing cars.In this way, her dream has finally come true. Saeki Kari may have seized happiness by transforming into Shi Zhuo.She got her dream job and even has a wonderful wife.She, no, for him, the most fearful thing now must be to give up the name Li Shizhuo. After finishing his coffee, Zhe Lang glanced at his watch.After almost half an hour, Zhuo Lishi still hadn't appeared.Although he thought it was impossible for him to be released, he began to feel restless. At this moment, the mobile phone in his breast pocket rang.It's impossible for Lishi to call, he probably doesn't know his mobile phone number.

"Hey." "Hey, QB, you seem to be doing well." The voice was familiar. "Ripu?!" Zhe Lang couldn't help shouting, "Where are you now?" "We'll talk about that later. Anyway, I want you to do what I say now." "Do as you say...?" "First of all, I have to tell you one thing first, Tateishi Takumi will not appear. Of course Saeki Kari will not pass." "Huh? This..." Zhe Lang put the phone on his ear and looked around.He thought Mizuki was probably looking at him somewhere. "Li Shizhuo lives as a man. In the workplace, no one knows his true identity. He should suffer a lot in the future, but I think he will be able to overcome it smoothly. I hope you don't disturb him."

"No, I don't want to bother him either." "I know. But in this world, one's own kind actions sometimes lead to others' misfortune. Do you understand?" "Maybe that's true, but..." "I also understand how QB feels, so I probably have to talk to you again. QB, do you have time later?" "Yes, you have to have it if you don't have it." "Then can you come to the place I mentioned?" "Can I see you?" "Well, I can see it." "You come to Odaiba," Mizuki said, "let's go there and have a chat."

"Are you in Odaiba now?" Zhe Lang asked. "I can't answer that. But we'll get over it later." "Us? Is there anyone else beside you?" "You'll find out sooner or later. See you later." "Wait a minute, where should I go to Odaiba?" "That's right. When it comes to Odaiba, it reminds people of a Ferris wheel. You wait around there, and I will contact you. Bye." "What's your phone number..." Zhe Lang didn't finish speaking, and the phone hung up. He sighed, pocketed his mobile phone and stood up.

Probably Tateishi Zhuo and Mizuki contacted each other.He might tell Mizuki that a troublesome man named Nishiwaki came to my door, and I was very troubled, what should I do?They did keep in touch. Zhe Lang can also go back to Curve Co., Ltd. and press Li Shizhuo again.However, he didn't do that.He knew exactly what Mitsuki meant, and he didn't want to ruin the life of someone pretending to be someone who was desperately trying to live out who he was.His purpose is to find out Mizuki and Nakao and know the truth.If Mizuki is willing to meet her, there is no need to find Tateishi Takuo.

The transportation from Nogata to Odaiba is inconvenient. You have to change trains several times, and you have to take the train that is definitely not fast.Although there is no specified time, Zhe Lang still wants to go as soon as possible.He got off the Seventh Ring Road, stopped a taxi again, and used his mobile phone to cancel his evening work after getting in the taxi. The Ferris wheel is located in the palette town of Odaiba.Although it is not a holiday, the crowds are still flowing.Almost all young couples come and go. Zhe Lang arrived in front of the Ferris wheel after five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky had completely darkened.As if waiting for night to fall, the middlemen began to form a human dragon in front of the Ferris wheel.Needless to say, everyone came to watch the night view.

About ten minutes later, the mobile phone rang again. "Have you arrived at the Ferris wheel?" Mizuki asked immediately. "I'm right in front of it. Where are you?" "Don't be in such a hurry, QB. Anyway, you go to the line first." "Are you coming here too?" "That's what I meant. If we're inside the Ferris wheel, no one else can hear our conversation, right?" "I see." Zhe Lang hung up the phone and went to the back of the line.The couple in the front are holding each other's hands and seem to be chatting happily.Looking around, there are no tourists older than Zhe Lang, and there seems to be no man queuing alone.

The team twists and turns.Zhe Lang followed the tourists in front and continued to look around.He thought to himself, where will Mizuki appear from?But no sign of her was seen. Soon, Zhe Lang came to the automatic ticket machine.At the urging of the staff, he bought a ticket.Nine hundred yuan per person.Going up the stairs, the pod of the Ferris wheel is in front of you.He is in a hurry.What's the point of riding a Ferris wheel by yourself! At this time, the mobile phone rang again. "Hello, it's me." "Hi, I think you're about to get on the Ferris wheel," Mizuki said.

"It's my turn soon. Where are you? Come on!" "It's okay. Don't worry about us. If it's your turn, we'll take you first. You might be lonely if you go alone, but just be patient. Then, I'll hang up first, and I'll call you later." "Hey, wait a minute!" But Mizuki had already hung up the phone. What is she going to do...? When Zhe Lang stood still, he was gently pushed from behind.A young man looked at him inexplicably.As a last resort, Zhe Lang had no choice but to take a step forward. The staff tearing up the ticket asked him puzzled: "Are you alone?" Zhe Lang nodded "Yes".Even he himself knew how ugly his face was.

The pod is a six-seater, and the seats are ㄇ-shaped.Zhe Lang sat on the inner seat, crossing Erlang's legs.You can see Tokyo Bay in front of your eyes.Turning your head and looking back, there is a building of a famous TV station. The mobile phone rang, and he quickly pressed the call button. "You seem to be hooked." "Hey, what's going on here?! Didn't you say you wanted to meet me?" "I'm not lying." "But let me sit on this thing, what are you going to do?" "QB, sorry, I don't have time to talk crap to you. Should we talk about more important things?" "That's why I want to talk to you in person, not over the phone." "Don't push yourself. Listen QB, there's only one reason I'm calling you like this. I want you to walk away from this and I hope you don't have anything to do with this again." "You're the one pushing people. You've screwed up my life and now you're asking me to back out in the dark?" "I'm sorry for involving you in this, and I deeply regret doing so. I also want to apologize to Risako." "You don't have to apologize to me, tell me you really want to. What's the story behind this?" Mizuki sighed. "QB should have noticed it too. Behind this incident, people who are troubled by gender have made a once-in-a-lifetime bet." "Do you mean the exchange of household registration?" She said after a breath beat: "Honestly, I didn't expect QB to investigate this far. When I heard that you appeared at Mr. Saga of the Golden Boy Troupe, I got goosebumps all over my body. And you even found out about the exchange of identities between Miss Xiangli and Mr. Tateishi. You really have two brushes, and you really deserve to be an ace quarterback." "What do those people have to do with you?" "It's related to this, didn't QB guess it?" "I want to hear it from you." The pod passed the halfway point.Looking back, the night view of Tokyo is unobstructed.The couple in a gondola in front sits and cuddles with each other, the man seems to put his arms around the woman's shoulders. "To put it simply, we are partners." Mizuki said, "People who are struggling to live in today's society are trying to spark a revolution. A silent revolution; a revolution that will not be noticed by anyone but only us." revolution." "Are you planning to exchange household registration with someone? Could it be that the household registration transcript found in Tokura's room is for this purpose?" "Oh, yes." "You intend to live under someone's name?" "I haven't decided yet. In order to exchange household registration, several conditions must be met. The younger the age, the better, and the similar experience. It is better to have the same dialect, interests and hobbies. Most importantly, because you have to completely change To become another person, so the other party must be someone who can completely sever the previous interpersonal relationship. Even so, there are other problems, and the timing of the exchange of household registration must be the same. This road is much more difficult than it can be said.” "In short, you mean to recruit as many people who want to exchange household registration as possible, the better?" "Yes, there are at most 20 or 30 people registered on the list. However, so far, including the pair of Xiangli and Tateishi Taku, five couples of men and women have successfully exchanged their household registrations. Our revolution has just begun, and everything It’s time to start. That’s why we can’t fail at a moment like this.” "You said there are at most twenty or thirty people, but it is very hard to gather so many people, right? Are you relying on word of mouth?" “Word of mouth is dangerous. We don’t even want to let such rumors reach the relevant units. Our activities are low-key and steady. Once we find out who may be involved, we will fully investigate and contact them.” "But how did you find out? Everyone is hiding their identities, right?" "So, we arranged occasions where it was easy to gather such people." "Occasion?" After asking, Zhe Lang understood. "So that's it, the performance of the Golden Boy Troupe." "In addition, we will hold many small activities. Therefore, this secret must not be known to outsiders, nor can it be told to QB. Therefore, although I feel embarrassed about your care, I still left without authorization." "But I found out your secret." "That's why I asked you to come in this situation to ask you one thing." "You want me to never tell anyone what I know, don't you?" "It's for your own good, too. If you get involved with something like this, it's not going to be a good thing." "I have no intention of telling anyone else about this, I just want to know the truth." "In that case, can you let it go? This is the truth, and this is all the inside story." "Things can't be that simple, can they? And the incident where you killed Tokura." "He is a simple stalker. You also know that he has my household registration copy in his hand. He is a despicable person who can dig through the trash bags discarded by Miss Xiangli, so I eliminate harm for the people. That's how it is." "'Maoyan''s mother-san said, Miss Xiangli said that neither he nor you are the murderer." Mizuki exhaled. "That's because she can't tell the truth." "Did you kill Togura?" "Yeah. Didn't I say it several times? It's very simple. I'm just afraid of implicating my friends." Zhelang was silent.What Mei Yue said could not be 100% true, however, he didn't have any evidence to press her on the spot. "I want to ask you something," he said, "about Nakao. Why is that guy involved?" Mizuki didn't answer right away, perhaps because she was overwhelmed by the mention of Nakao's name.The pod passed the highest point.Spots of light speeding on the highway. "Leave the matter of Gongfu to us." "Leave it to you? What does this mean?" "I mean, we're not going to let it happen to him. Sorry, that's all I can say right now." "Where is that guy now? Is he with you guys?" "...We are together." "Let me see him. If not, at least give me his contact information." Zhe Lang wanted to plead with her, but at the same time felt an emptiness that this mood could not convey.No, Mizuki should have received his feelings, but she couldn't respond. "Did you read the synopsis of the Golden Boy Troupe to realize that Gongfu is related to us?" Mei Yue asked him. "yes." "Sure enough. I said that it's over if you see it, and you will definitely notice it." "That's what Nakao wrote, right?" "The script was written by Mr. Saga, but the proposer was Kosuke. The two of them are old friends, and Kosuke is also related to the establishment of the troupe." "So, does that guy have anything to do with the exchange of household registration?" "yes." "Nakao looks like he hasn't seen you for a long time at my house. In fact, he has seen you before, right?" "That's right. We didn't want to lie to you, but under the circumstances, we had to." An old flame reunites after a long absence—things of that night were not so simple.They must have discussed how to fool a bad guy like Tetsuro Nishiwaki into a circle. "But I don't understand. Why did Nakao disappear? That guy has neither gender identity disorder nor other problems, right? It's impossible that even he wants to tamper with his household registration?" "Kong Fu is an ordinary man. However, sometimes people have to disappear. No, maybe it is because he is an ordinary man that he has to disappear. Because he got married, became someone else's husband, someone else's father, So it’s a heavy burden.” "What do you mean by that?" "Sorry, that's all for now. All I can say is one thing, QB can't have anything to do with us anymore. I hope you forget everything." The pod continued to descend, and Mizuki seemed to sense that there was no time left. "Wait a minute, where are you now? Anyway, meet me." "I want to see you too, I want to see your face from the side. But it's better not to meet each other. Although I feel sorry, but goodbye forever." "Mei Yue!" Zhe Lang shouted. She fell silent for a moment.Then, her giggling voice came from the phone. "You called me by my first name. If I remember correctly, this is probably the second time you called me by my name." "Are you planning to say goodbye to everyone like this? Are you planning to never see family, friends and relatives?" "Everyone has their own way of survival, I hope you can understand." Meiyue was about to hang up the phone, Zhe Lang felt this and panicked.He couldn't help standing up in the cramped pod. At this moment, Zhe Lang saw two figures in the middle of the parking lot to the west.Their figures emerged from the light.One was wearing a black leather jacket; the other was a long-haired woman in a long coat.The one wearing the leather jacket must be Mizuki.She held something that looked like a mobile phone to her ear, and that woman was probably Kaori. The two seemed to see Zhe Lang's figure and stood facing him. "Hiura, stay there! I'll be there right away." "You seem to have seen us. Finally, at least we met." The pod will reach the ground soon, but Mizuki and the others are gradually disappearing. "Stay there!" "QB, you take care. Goodbye. Give my regards to Risako, she is a good woman." "Wait! Hiura." However, at this time the phone was disconnected.Their figures were covered by buildings and disappeared from Zhe Lang's field of vision. Zhe Lang felt that the speed of the pod suddenly slowed down.He stood by the door, stomping his feet.After finally waiting for the pod to reach the ground, as soon as the staff opened the door, he rushed down the pod and ran wildly. He ran through the crowd who were talking and laughing softly, and got on the elevator.The speed of the elevator is also unbearably slow. He stepped up the steps of the parking lot, overtook a couple walking in front, and came to the parking lot. However, Mizuki and the others have long since disappeared.Zhe Lang stood where they were standing, looking up at the Ferris wheel, but could not confirm the faces of the passengers on the gondola. I saw you, but you didn't see me.So it doesn't matter to you...? Zhe Lang murmured in his heart. -------------------------------- Note:
