Chapter 168 Craftsman
In the banquet hall, the dance party has not officially started yet.

The final preparations are going on in the venue, and there is an endless stream of student staff.Hui Yuanchu and Zhe Lukui passed through them and rushed straight to the table at the front of the dance floor.

At the table, three roses were chatting softly.

Sato Yoshiko first saw Haihara Hao and Orilu Aoi walking in, and waved to them happily.

Then after the two of them approached the table, she stood up and faced them, smiling at the same time: "You're just in time."

"Let me introduce it to you." She naturally followed the two of them back to the table, came to Asano Eimi's side, pointed towards Hui Yuanchu and said to her, "This is the one I mentioned to Master Hui, you My ex, Bai Qiangwei, Asano Eimi, who left school a while ago and went on a trip. Eimi came back suddenly tonight without saying hello to anyone beforehand, so it was a surprise for everyone. And by chance, she also gave it to me. An opportunity to introduce you both to each other.”

"And this is Orihara Hai-sama." Then Yoshiko Sato turned around and introduced Asano Eimi, "Yes, she is the young lady of the reclusive Ori clan. Almost shortly after you left Eimi, Mr. Hai arrived. Holy Knot. Because of 'that' guarantee for Master Gray's ability and character, I decided to let her directly act as your White Rose. And as you can see, Master Gray is also a very charming person in addition to his ability. What a unique lady.”

She finally joked: "Moreover - she was completely fascinated by Ayano-chan as soon as she met her. The throne that originally belonged to Eimi as 'Ayano-chan's favorite sister' has changed hands, hasn't it?"

Hui Yuan didn't say a word.

The current situation is strange.

Both Sato Yoshiko and Fujihira Chihiro knew the "fact" that Asano Eimi had fallen to his death.Yoshiko Sato even saw Asano Eimi's "corpse" under the clock tower.

But at this time, they had a very happy chat with "Asano Eimi".

In fact, they seemed to sincerely believe the lie that "Asano Eimi and I went on a school trip together", even though they made it up themselves from the beginning.

Because the Sato Yoshiko and Fujihira Chihiro in front of them, no matter how they act like themselves... are not themselves.

Hui Yuanchu turned to "Emi Asano" again, observing her carefully.

The "Eimi Asano" that Haiyuan encountered a few times ago was in a state of "walking zombie" with half of the body in horrible condition. This was based on the understanding that the doll's body was destroyed and transformed.

In that state, "Asano Eimi" could not move freely, and was even unable to speak due to damaged vocal cords.

It was only now that Haiyuanchu saw the "intact" Asano Eimi for the first time, and it was also the first time he saw her face that was no longer bloody and bloody.

Of course, he knew that the woman in front of him was probably just a doll...but the doll made by the craftsman could almost be regarded as the same as him.

Hui Yuanchu felt Zhe Lukui's heavier breathing behind him and noticed her mood at this time.

For those who actually knew Asano Eimi, this 100% realistic look has added pressure.

But Hui Yuanchu was fine.

He had never come into contact with Asano Eimi himself outside of the information.

——And unlike other dolls, when the doll of "Asano Eimi" appeared in front of Haihara twice, whether it was in the last encounter in the workshop or now, the craftsmen were controlling it behind the scenes. .

Therefore, for Hui Yuanchu, the impression of the person in front of him as a "craftsman" was far greater than the "Asano Eimi" he had never seen before.

At the same moment, the strange yet familiar girl-like "craftsman" opposite was also looking at Hui Yuanchu.

Moreover, a mysterious smile gradually appeared on his face.

Sato Yoko felt the strange atmosphere between the two, and wanted to ask, "Why—"

As soon as she opened her mouth, "Asano Eimi" suddenly raised his hand.

It was as if an invisible ripple spread out from her center.

First it was Yoshiko Sato, Chihiro Fujihira, and then the student staff walking around. Everyone suddenly stopped moving and froze in place.

Two seconds later, the entire banquet hall was completely silent, and it was like a huge wax museum.

And five or six seconds later.Huiyuan noticed that all the movement outside had also disappeared.

It seemed that in an instant, within the scope of the entire campus, there were only three people left who had not been solidified into statues: Haiyuanchu, Orilu Aoi, and "Asano Eimi".

"Sorry, I forgot to stop the doll." "Asano Eimi", the only one who still retains the appearance of a human, showed a condescending smile and made a gesture, "It's a lot quieter now, right? We can have a good talk."

It was not the electronic sound that Hui Yuanchu heard in the workshop before.

Perhaps because the damaged throat was repaired, this time Asano Eimi's doll emits a sweet girlish voice.

"Are you a craftsman?" Hui Yuanchu cut to the chase and asked the most basic question.

"Call me Yingmi." The girl showed a charming smile, but her tone seemed to be used to saying the same thing, "Call me like Master Rongzi and Master Qianyu."

This answer shocked Huiyuan for a moment, and he didn't know how to respond.

But Zhe Lukui behind him suddenly interjected: "——Your voice and attitude...no, it should be said that the personality you performed——" She was a little surprised, but she used an affirmative sentence: "They are all It’s from Asano Eimi.”

Hui Yuan looked back at Zhe Lukui in surprise, and instantly understood what she meant.

The craftsman's doll is completely consistent with the real person, including the details of personality and behavior. Even people who are close to them cannot tell the authenticity from the fake. This is something that both Hui Yuanchu and Orulu Kui have admitted... But the problem is, at this moment, It is obvious that the craftsman himself is controlling this doll, but he is still imitating Asano Eimi!

"Asano Eimi" didn't even look at Oroku Aoi, and just said coldly: "Shut up, you despicable impostor. I haven't settled the debt with you for making Ayano sad... I just allowed it." As long as you stand here, I have reached the limit of my tolerance. Don't interrupt the conversation between the noble buds and challenge my patience."

Hui Yuan felt strange at first.

The current Asano Eimi and the broken dolls he met in the underground workshop should be controlled by craftsmen.

But then and now, the craftsman's tone of voice gave him a completely different feeling.

They only said two words in the underground workshop, and now... the person speaking in front of them seems to be Asano Eimi himself.

So, she was reprimanding Oroku Aoi, but her actions were actually acknowledging it?
Hui Yuanchu began to think unconsciously——if we follow the principle of what you see is what you get, is Asano Eimi himself the person he sees now?
The girl with yellow curly hair has a beautiful appearance and her makeup is also cute.

But if you want to talk about the girl in front of you with a few eyes, a few expressions left the deepest impression on Hui Yuanchu - that is, except for the obvious difference in appearance, she is almost like Ijuin Ayano's sister with a similar personality.

Equally lively and lively, equally arrogant and flamboyant.

Of course, the figure is still completely incomparable.

……

Huiyuan had never been in contact with Asano Eimi before.

But Oroku Aoi's reaction said it all - she looked away in disgust, as if she didn't want to look at Asano's face anymore, as if an unpleasant memory had surfaced.

...By the way, Asano Eimi's reaction also proves one thing: the craftsman doesn't know that Aoi Ori is the real Ori clan.

In the Infinity Tower last time, the Warrior Captain actually knew about this, but it seemed that he had no chance to pass the news back, so he shot himself in the head... Although Zhe Lukui said he could He was resurrected, but it seems that he has not been resurrected until now, and naturally the apostles have not received this important information.

Hui Yuanchu wrote this down.

——But in short, it seems that the conversation between Asano Eimi and Oriroku Aoi cannot continue.

So Haiyuanchu sighed and took up the topic: "So, the real Asano Eimi will answer you like this now, is that what you mean?"

The girl opposite smiled when she heard this question.Then she put her hand on her chest, and said seriously as if introducing herself: "—I am Emi Asano."

"What about the craftsman?"

"The craftsman does not exist at all." The girl curled her lips and said.

"……What's the meaning?"

"Call me Yingmi." The girl didn't answer. She just held her face and stared at Hui Yuanchu with a smile: "Everyone said that Ayano and I are very similar... Indeed, I can understand why Ayano loves Master Hui so much. Crazy - because I also like this type of Gray Master."

"...Who are you?" Hui Yuanchu frowned and looked at her.

"Why should you care about such a trivial matter? Anyway, no matter it is Emi Asano or a craftsman, they are all strangers who don't care about Master Hui at all, don't they?" The girl said disapprovingly, "...that's good I don't care what Master Hui thinks of me, whether he regards me as a craftsman or others—but at least, please continue to call me 'Yingjian' verbally. Is this okay?"

Hui Yuan thought for a while and said calmly: "Okay. You are right, the name is just a code name, there is no need to worry too much about this kind of thing. Compared to this, I would rather care about more meaningful things...

"For example, Yingjian, what did you want to say when you invited us here? It's not just a confession, right?" Hui Yuanchu stared at the girl opposite.

"Haha, I'm so happy, Master Gray understands my thoughts." Asano Emi laughed happily, and then said with a smile, "But Master Gray will not accept the enemy's confession, right? I still know this. Therefore, I took the next best step and wanted to seek peace from Lord Gray."

"Summary for peace?" Hui Yuanchu did not expect to hear this word and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"That's right, let's cease the war and let us become companions for the time being, Lord Gray." Asano Emi nodded.

At the same time, he glanced at Orukui calmly, trying to seek her opinion.

However, Zhe Lukui had returned to his shadow without saying a word.

…Does this mean you completely trust my judgment?
Hui Yuan thought for a while, then turned to Asano Eimi, and asked, "Why?"

"Yes. I like Mr. Gray, so I won't hide anything. I will tell you everything happily. However, Mr. Gray needs to be patient and listen to me slowly." Asano Yingmi put his hand on his chest as if he was swearing. Said generally in a serious manner.

Then, immediately after, she said this sentence: "This dance is already the fifth time."
