I, Zhongli, Wander the World

It's raining.

Kagari felt the coldness that pierced his cheeks a little bit, and thought so.

The cargo ship clearly leaving the port is not far from the alley.

Clear freedom is almost at hand.

But he could only lie down in this dirty alley, drenched in the icy rain of early spring, unable to feel his life flowing out of the bullet holes with blood.

He thought of his lover again.

That red-haired girl, still at the age of a flower, has blood on her hands. Until then, he and her made a promise to escape together, and there was light in those beautiful red eyes like cherry blossoms.

red leaves. red leaves.

Did she escape successfully? A beautiful girl like her should not wither and decay in the darkness of the port mafia. She should embrace sunshine and flowers and have a better future.

Even if he is gone.

Even if I'm not there...

"Red leaves... ah..."

Kagari struggled, and a faint sound came from between his lips and teeth.

—If he was gone, what would I do with Ozaki Momiji, who had finally made up his mind to get out of the quagmire and regarded himself as a pillar!

Men want to get up, want to go to their lover's side. But the fatal gunshot wound on his body took away all his strength, and the drizzle on his body had changed from cold to warm, and he knew that it was a sign of his imminent death.

His body temperature is already colder than the spring rain.

A pair of black shoes appeared in front of him, and a shadow was faintly cast above his head, as if someone was leaning over. Kagaru didn't even care to distinguish the identity of the person in front of him, he just tried his best to squeeze a few words out of his teeth: "Save me... I can give you anything, please... help..."

His consciousness fell into darkness.

Zhong Li held a black umbrella and leaned over to look at the man who was seriously injured and on the verge of death.

In this city, the confrontation between power and power is like the survival law of the jungle in the jungle. Under normal circumstances, as long as the crime is not in front of him, he will not deliberately care about the grievances and grievances that have formed potential rules between the Mafia.

But this alley is really close to Chinatown, and the chaos is really intense. There is a tacit understanding between the current Yokohama forces that "can't provoke the surpassers who occupy Chinatown", and it is not normal to think about such a close-range rivalry.

Therefore, he deliberately took a long detour to check the situation.

The man's consciousness was already blurred, but he still appealed to him for help with that stubborn instinct, and was still eager to live until he was completely unconscious.

Zhongli breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's really rare that this vow is so strong." He leaned down, "Since this is the case, the contract between you and me is established."

The contract is established.

The deep voice echoed in his mind, Kagari coughed lightly, and slowly opened his eyes.

unfamiliar ceiling...

The hazy thoughts lasted for a second, and the man who used to belong to the port mafia torture squad quickly woke up, and subconsciously rolled his eyes to try to look around.

"Awake?" A familiar low voice sounded from the side, Kagari froze, and immediately wanted to get up vigilantly, but was restrained by the severe pain from his body and fell back.

There was a soft sound of "pop", and the man seemed to have closed some book, followed by the sound of gentle footsteps, and a fairly familiar man appeared in the restricted line of sight.

Kagaru opened his eyes in disbelief, "You...you are Mr. Zhongli...?"

He, who was in charge of intelligence in the past, of course knew how feared the person in front of him was in the inner world of Yokohama. Rather, the reason why he chose a port near Chinatown to board the ship this time was because the port mafia did not dare to be in this area. The reason for the trouble is.

And it turns out that his old club is much crazier than he imagined.

"In this way, the formal introduction may be exempted." Zhong Li said lightly, "You made a contract with me before you fell into a coma, and now I help you. According to the agreement, the box you carry and the contents inside will belong to me. already."

Although those words before the coma were all based on instinct, Kagaru still had some impressions. Don't say that the box was just a few gems for travel expenses. With such a big kindness that brought him back from the death line, even if he really let him give everything as promised at that time, he would be willing.

Kagaru sincerely thanked: "Cough, thank you very much for your help, Mr. Zhongli."

"No need." After the message was in place, Zhong Li turned around and walked out, "This is my residence, no one from the inner world will come to disturb you. As part of the 'rescue' in the contract, you can rest here for a while, You can leave on your own after you recover.”

He said as he was about to go out the door.

Kagaru couldn't help shouting, "Mr. Zhongli!"

Stopping, Zhongli turned around and looked at him calmly, without the slightest surprise on his face.

"Cough cough, Mr. Zhongli, please forgive me for being too far ahead." Kagaru took a deep breath, "I want to ask if you saw a red-haired girl in a nearby street or port when you picked me up. ?"

"I've never seen it before, but..." Zhongli denied it at first, and then changed the conversation when Kagaru was disappointed, "When we arrived in that area, the people from the port mafia happened to be driving away, and I was really vague. Saw a girl being escorted in the car."

"Red leaves..." Kagari's pupils shrank, and the hands under the quilt clenched subconsciously.

Even if he diverted the main chasing troops away, could Hongye still not escape the pursuit of the port mafia?

Or... that stupid girl just came back to find him, so...

All kinds of thoughts twisted into a ball in his mind, Kagari, who had not fully recovered, grabbed his chest and gasped, and the Venus in front of him was almost connected.

"You want to save the child named 'Red Leaf'?"

A steady voice broke into his ears, and the roaring eardrum suddenly became quiet under this sound. Kagaru took a few quick breaths and said dryly, "Mr. Zhongli, is there a way to save people from the port mafia?"

"No." Zhong Li shook his head, "It's just that I know someone who might solve your problem."

"Don't worry, I also need to ask him for help. If you can trust me, you can go with me when you can walk around."

With the information disclosed by Zhongli, it is impossible for Kagaru to have any more thoughts of recuperating. Just after recovering a little energy, he forced his way to the ground with his supernatural ability.

Kagaru's supernatural ability [human form] allows him to completely control a person's body with his mind, which is very useful in torture. The disadvantage is that the preparation work is cumbersome, and it is impossible to control the human thinking and speaking system.

Just in case, Kagaru had always been prepared to reserve supernatural powers on himself, but it happened to be used at this time.

How others use their bodies is their free choice, and Zhong Li has no intention of interfering. Therefore, he took people directly to a small medical clinic somewhere in the neutral zone.

Mori Ogai was sitting in the hospital and sighing.

"There are so few idle talents available in Yokohama," he said to Alice, who was flipping through the storybook. "What I finally encountered was either following Mr. Zhongli or being taken by Your Excellency Fukuzawa."

"Little Alice, I don't even have Jingzi anymore, what should I do uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

Just yesterday, he officially broke up with Fukuzawa Yukichi, who had been working with Natsume-sensei for a long time, and also got on with Yoshino Akiko, who had worked so hard to steal from the facility.

Speaking of which, since his plan to "become the personal doctor of the black leader of Hong Kong", his luck has not been better. First, he had to be fooled with special painkillers because he couldn't diagnose the leader's strange disease. Then, the power user Lantang, who was finally hooked up with, disappeared for no reason, and now it's the matter with Akiko Yosano...

"It must be that Rintarou has done too many bad things, and now he is punished." Alice said casually, without even taking her eyes off the storybook.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuy better, I want Alice to hug me..."

"It's disgusting, so don't! Hey, don't rush over suddenly! My books are all wrinkled!"

While the two were fighting, there was a regular knock at the door.

Sen Ouwai was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked up.

Most of the people who patronize his small underground clinic are members of the mafia who come to rescue, and those who are not literate do not know any etiquette. Fukuzawa Yukichi, who knew some manners, had a falling out a few days ago, so the only one who could show up at the clinic at such a time...

There was a familiar figure standing outside the door.

"Oh, Mr. Zhongli."

Mori Owai stood up slowly, and he couldn't see that he was laughing with the little girl just a moment ago, "Why do you have time to come to my dilapidated small clinic?"

He has always respected and valued Zhongli.

Not to mention Natsume-sensei's special explanation that it is forbidden to provoke each other. As far as the identity of the transcender is concerned, his acquaintance with him is already his biggest trump card in Yokohama.

The kind that is enough to save a life at a critical moment.

"Mr. Sen." Zhongli nodded, and stepped into the small clinic with unhurried steps, followed by a vigilant wounded who probed his brain.

"Huh? Kaga...?" Mori Owai raised his eyebrows in surprise. As the personal doctor closest to the leader, of course he recognized this person who had recently been making a lot of noise in Hong Kong.

"...Doctor Mori." Under the arrangement of the leader, Kaga Ritsu, who was in charge of intelligence, had already thoroughly investigated Mori Ouai's information, so he was not surprised that Mori Ouai was here, just asked: " Mr. Zhongli, this is what you said..."

Mori Owai's information erasure has to be said to be quite successful, at least before being brought to this clinic by Zhongli, Kagaru never thought that the person who could help in Zhongli's mouth would be the famous young girl in front of him. decadent doctor.

Mori Ogai, who quickly figured out the key point, laughed.

"Oh, so that's the case." He said with a smile, "It's that Miss Ozaki Momiji who defected with you was caught."

Kagura's eyes widened.

"As you can see. He's not an ordinary doctor." Zhong Li said to the shocked man, "If you're interested, you can talk to yourself first, and don't care about me."

Whether it is intentional or not is irrelevant. Now that there is nothing left and the situation is urgent, Mori Owai, who was introduced by Zhongli in front of him, can almost be said to be his only life-saving straw.

Just went to the room to have a simple exchange, and soon the two of them appeared again in front of Zhongli drinking simple tea.

Mori Owai said very politely: "Mr. Zhongli, thank you very much for introducing this transaction to me. Is there anything you need me to do?"

After so many years, he knew very well that Zhongli was not a good-natured person. As long as he didn't get into trouble or made trouble in front of him, the other party would rarely do anything to interfere with the forces of Yokohama.

And once it is done—as it is now—according to the fair principle of the other party's equivalent exchange, there must be a demand.

Sure enough, Zhong Li said, "If the two of you sign a contract on this, I can still act as a notary in exchange..."

As he said that, a strange look appeared on his normally calm face, "Mr. Wang Sen try to restrain the exchange of fire within the Mafia as much as possible, and don't want to affect the school in Yokohama for no reason."
