Chapter 10 The Running Corpse Chapter 3

Ah Fu and I went back to the house.Xia Shu seems to have thought of a good way to attract Miss Asami as much as possible. "Chaomi, I'll show you a magic trick today, okay?" he said. "Really?" "Of course, do you want to see it?" "Want to... see!" She squealed with joy.In this case, most girls will be curious and cute. "Madam, do you have any larger white paper? Wrapping paper will do." Madam nodded and walked into the room. People around were puzzled and asked questions one after another. Soon, a snow-white wrapping paper lay on the table.While carefully smoothing the creases, Natsuki said, "First of all, I would like to borrow some things from you. The ring ornaments you wear or any ornaments are fine. Please lend me them first. Of course, the more expensive the more Well, the more expensive it is, the more aura it has." He said it seriously.

"Don't worry, it's not to make them disappear. It's just here, and I'll return it to everyone soon. Necklaces, rings, watches, whatever, Miss Asami, you can lend me something too Me, just your ring." "My ring? It's not very expensive." "It's okay, it's okay." Everyone started to take off their watches, and I was going to do the same, but I changed my mind after thinking about it.Well, after all, my watch is a Disney cartoon watch bought from a second-hand store, and it is only worth 4,000 yen. Of the rings on paper, watches have the most.The reviewer's watch is a famous brand - Karcher.

"Everyone uses a famous brand. Ah, this is very valuable. The pearl necklace, madam, is it yours? With it, my magic will be able to play the most effective! Now, I have understood its origin ! "The salesman began to speak his judgment, "Ma'am, this necklace is a gift from your husband for your wedding anniversary, and there is also a makeup mirror for you at the same time, am I right?" "Quick guess!" Itoi replied from the side. "You are so blessed to have a good husband." Xia Shu then said: "Mr. Astrologer, didn't you lend me your watch?" He didn't seem to like the astrologer either, and his tone was cold and a bit hostile.

"You don't know why?" said the astrologer slightly mockingly. "I see, are you not wearing a watch at all?" The salesman said with a sneer. "Yes, I'm not wearing a watch today." The astrologer admitted nonchalantly. "Put it in the pawn shop." Xia Shu asked again. "Not at all. I want to be a watch, and I won't be a watch. I always uphold the 'do not match the watch doctrine'." "Oh, you are still a person with 'ism' and life creed, I admire you." Xia Shu still didn't budge. "You can say what you like." The astrologer made another old gesture, swiping his right hand across his forehead. This time he did it quite chicly. It's the first time I've seen an imitation of an English gentleman. Chic Japanese. ※Bandhammer Academy's E-Book※

"It's really a question of creed? What kind of creed is it? I have to find out, anyway, it must be a creed that has nothing to do with the thickness of the wallet?" For some reason, Xia Shu pressed on every step of the way, without restraint. "It would be great if the wallet had a strap, and it could be hung on the right hand, so I might also wear a watch on the left hand to keep balance. Besides, the watch is too heavy." "..." "Like that kind of heavy mechanical thing, if it can bring any benefits to the owner, it is nothing more than reminding them that in fact, everyone is just a slave of time." Mitarai stood up suddenly, rubbing his hands excitedly , I was taken aback, but no one else seemed to be surprised by it except me.

Mitarai paced up and down the room, speaking as if she were an orator. "In such a filthy modern society, is there anything more foolish than allowing something that is useless for checking the time to occupy our precious left wrist? To occupy my left hand, at least It has ten times the functions. For example, it can listen to the radio, watch TV, help me remember the phone numbers of friends, and even tell me whether the person in front of me is a playboy or a good young man when the red light disappears. Only then will they consider wearing it." People laughed lightly, and Ishioka seemed to be Mitarai's friend, and he also smiled and tugged at the hem of the astrologer's clothes, meaning let him stop in moderation.But he ignored it at all.

"Tell you, Natsuki, no city has as many public telephones and clocks as Tokyo. I haven't worn a watch in nearly 10 years, and it's never been inconvenient! Except for the nightclubs in Ginza, where can I not see A place of time. So only when going to a nightclub, a watch is indispensable like a wallet. There, customers are not willing to leave early, and they deliberately do not let everyone know the time, and even cherish the time to go to the toilet. I'm afraid that some people will go out as soon as they wake up. Look, there are so many watches here. Does it mean that all of you are regulars of that kind of nightclub?

"For example, I never hold a telephone when I walk, because there are enough public telephones! Since you attach great importance to watches, why don't you walk with a telephone for convenience? How about this suggestion? Xia Tree?" The salesman Xia Shu's face was pale, obviously very angry. Ishioka finally stood up and pushed the astrologer back onto the sofa with all his might, while there was still light laughter all around.Ishioka said something to Mitarai very seriously, and Mitarai replied impatiently: "I understand, I understand." Then he covered his head and fell on the sofa, raising his hand to stop his friend's persuasion.

I'm really baffled, what a strange person, what happened to them? "Hmph, I can't even afford a poor watch, so what else can I say!" Xia Shu said angrily, carefully placing the collected rings on the white paper.There are seven in total, watches are the most, as well as Asami's ring and Mrs. Itoi's necklace.Natsuki arranged them in a circle, took out a fountain pen from his coat pocket, and drew lines from the center of the circle to the watches and rings.In this way, a total of seven lines are drawn, connecting the center of the circle and the rings at both ends.

"It's finally done." Xia Shu said while putting away the fountain pen.Then he took out the small book again, flipped through it, turned it to the blank space, and tore off a page, but it was a pity that it was not torn properly, and the bottom left was crooked, not a standard rectangle.Xia Shu cursed nervously, rolled up the piece of paper, and carefully tore off another piece. "Chaomei, you choose one of the seven things that are placed there, and then use this pen to write down the thing you choose on this piece of paper. I will use my spiritual power to guess what you wrote." Xia Xia Shu handed the paper to Zhao Chaomei.

"I'd better mark them with numbers, it will be more convenient to write." Xia Shu said and really wrote numbers next to those things.The first is the critic's watch, in order, and the seventh is the pearl necklace. "Okay, Chaomei, you just need to write the number. In addition, write down the reason for choosing that item. Then, write down your biggest trouble at present, and I will definitely help you get rid of it." "real?" "Really, really, take it for fun, write it down, you won't regret it. Believe me, Natsuki!" The salesman seemed to have committed an occupational disease, and he used his usual tone of selling things. "Do you have to use your pen?" "Not necessarily, you can use your own, you go over there and write, I will face this way, so I don't want to look at you." Chaomei turned her back, wrote something seriously, and then said, "It's finished." "Okay? Then fold it up." Xia Shu said with her back turned to her. "Folded." "Then stack it one more time, one more time, one last time, okay?" "All right." "Then bring it here." The salesman Xia Shu looked at everyone proudly, and then said to Asami, "Now, put your face at the end of the seven lines I drew, which is the center of the white paper." "Is that right?" "Yes, focus and throw the ball of paper into the middle of the circle." "Throw it down like this?" "Throw it down at the center point, and throw it several times. Everyone pays attention to it. The paper ball will roll in all directions, but it will definitely roll down to the direction of the number you wrote most easily. According to this probability, we Then you can know what you wrote." "Really?" "Just look at it. Try it?" Chaomei leaned over the white paper and threw the ball of paper with a serious expression, throwing it again and again.Except for Mitarai, everyone else watched with relish, but Mitarai was already snoring on the side at this time. Once the ball of paper jumped out of the circle and fell to the ground.Xia Shu quickly picked it up and handed it to Chaomei again. He said: "This is not acceptable! Chaomei, you must concentrate to get an accurate measurement. It is because you are not concentrating that the paper ball will jump out." .” At this time, Kubo said, "I seem to have drunk too much, and I feel a little uncomfortable." He got up and went to the bathroom. "Asami, do you understand? So far, which direction has the most people?" "I don't understand!" Asami said in bewilderment. "It's number seven, the seventh." "Is it true?" Chaomei's expression became serious. "Okay, I see. The number you wrote is 'seven'. Although you don't like pearls, you really want to try wearing a necklace." Asami stopped her hands and stood there motionless. "What's wrong with you? Did I guess right?" "Accurate! That's right!" "By the way... let me guess your troubles too. Wait..." Xia Shu closed his eyes, put his index finger between his eyebrows, "I see, it's unrequited love." Miss Asami almost fainted. "The person you like is..." "Don't...don't say it!" She blushed and wanted to cover Xia Shu's mouth. "Have you written it down on paper?" "No." "Is that so? Great." Kubo returned to the house at this time, Xia Shu looked at him in surprise: "How is it? Do you feel better?" "It's better." Kubo's face was quite pale, and he replied weakly. "You are amazing!" Asami said excitedly. I can't help but feel that I admire Xia Shu very much.
