Chapter Ten seems like a troublesome first guest

  Staring blankly at a door in the house, which was strange because it should be an outdoor door but was now awkwardly located indoors...

  This is not important, what's important is that he now needs to face another 'guest' who wants to come out from the other side of the door!

  Unexpectedly... someone actually managed to arrive here in such a short time?

  Crack!

  "Huh? Where is this place? It seems like I've been kidnapped by a high school student... Ugh, it's not some weird old man!"

  “…Oh?” Abduction? Raising an eyebrow, Jiǔ Mìng sized up the girl standing in front of the door. She had a slender and delicate figure, shiny black eyes, long eyelashes, pale pink lips, and a beautiful face. In short, she gave off a stunning beauty vibe when she walked out...

  In short, it feels like a troublesome guest, is this an inauspicious start?

  Very subtle, Jiǔ Mìng temporarily decided to conceal the situation here, it's best to find a way to send the other party away first!

  "This is trespassing on private property, isn't it? Would you mind turning around and taking a few steps back?"

  "Hmm...?" The girl stood with her hands on her hips, leaning forward and narrowing her eyes as she scrutinized Nine for a moment, until it seemed like she had figured something out. She then stomped her foot heavily, "You want to play hide-and-seek in the secret room!?"

  "By the way, how did you get me here anyway? I thought I was just going to the bathroom..."

  In short, the girl in front of him quickly began to change the subject as if nothing had happened. At this time, Jiǔ Mìng quietly called out to Miàn Bǎn Jun and asked a few questions.

  "Alright, the restroom is on your right, go by yourself, and get rid of wherever you came from back to where you came from."

  "Thank you, Mr."

  The girl immediately ran towards the road that Jiǔ Mìng pointed at, but after running halfway, she suddenly turned her head and said, "Hey, you're not peeking, are you?"

  "Are you questioning my integrity?!"

  "Where is the camera?"

  "I'm not that bored!" Scratching his head, Jiǔ Mìng thought of standing up and grabbing the other person's collar to throw her back through the door!

  "Last one!"

  "What?" Thinking of Panel-kun's abnormality, Koko temporarily suppressed her urge to try out the above idea.

  "You... aren't going to suddenly rush in, are you?"

  "It's very likely, after all, there are many lonely men and women here. If you're scared, just go back through that door and you can leave!" He moved his eyes and a faint, malicious smile appeared at the corner of Jiǔ Mìng's mouth. As for romantic matters, he currently had the heart but not the strength.

  "How could it be so simple, just wait and see"

  "Hey! Panel dude, you'd better explain things clearly. What's going on? When I was here, there wasn't even a bathroom, let alone a bedroom! How come everything is complete now!!!"

  With both hands tightly grasping the panel that suddenly appeared before his eyes, only he could see the violently shaking panel in front of him, even the subtitles on it were trembling...

  Bang!

  The panel turned into fine light dust, and then another panel was reborn in front of Jiǔ Mìng's eyes.

  "When it's just you, those useless things don't need to exist... The customer is God..."

  "What? Where's the wicked guest?"

  The mysterious shop can generate an extra peace room for you.

  "What about her?"

  The mysterious shop can consider choosing its next store manager now.

  Bang!

  The panel in front of you has been reduced to dust again under the fist of Jiu Ming!

  Forget it, I'll go out myself!

  I didn't expect Panel to answer like that, Jiulian twitched the corner of his mouth, pulled out a pen and paper, scribbled a note on it and placed it on the coffee table in front of him, then quickly stood up and walked away.

  In the city of Lingquan, Jiǔ Mìng was sitting on a long bench at an inopportune time. The sky was currently at dusk, and although there were some young couples who came here during this time, they quickly left in a hurry as if they had seen a ghost!! This person didn't even have a shadow!!!

  "You've finally appeared again." Hanging a cigarette, the man who had a fight with Jiuming that night frowned and looked at the ghostly figure in front of him with a puzzled expression.

  It wasn't until now that he realized the abnormality of the young man in front of him. "You... what exactly are you? Huh, what kind of person?"

  "Just call me Jiǔ Mìng."

  "Is that so? My name is Wang Hai," Captain Wang also sat down, "Can we talk?"

  "What's going on now?" Jiǔ Mìng let out a yawn, his expression slightly knotted, with an air of not being able to return home.

  It's been two hours, shouldn't that girl have gotten bored and left already?

  "What's with that expression...? Did your family chase you out?" Captain Wang pulled out a pack of cigarettes, popped one out and handed it to Jiǔ Mìng.

  "You're quite experienced, you've been through a lot too, uncle." He took the cigarette that flew over and spun it around in his hand, "You've been looking for me all along?"

  "That's right." Captain Wang nodded, and glanced at Jiǔ Mìng again. Through subtle observation, Jiǔ Mìng's state didn't seem to be caused by some kind of ability, but rather it was just his natural state.

  A passive type of heteromorphic ability?

  "What's the reason?"

  "You and Zhou Jing are strangers, right? Why did you do this, and besides, don't you know something about Du Fei's situation?"

  "Oh? Your school is quite impressive, isn't it? You even notice the affairs of ordinary students like this?" Jiǔ Mìng said with a hint of teasing, smiling lightly.

  "I just happened to find out, what's your purpose?" Jiǔ Mìng didn't deny his question, Captain Wáng nodded and handed him a lighter.

  "Don't worry, it's just a fair deal for him, no need to worry about such things happening again." With a lit cigarette in his hand, Jiǔ Mìng let the smoke drift freely, daring to take a puff, the smoke would dare to float out of his head...

  Just take a sniff and it's fine.

  "Fair deal?" Captain Wang frowned, "That kid was lying in the hospital for half a month, his body looks like it's been overdrawn."

  "Half a month? This kid's physique is worse than I thought." Shaking his head, "Alright, my mistake. Next time I'll find someone stronger..."

  "Is there a next time? You said it clearly, what kind of transaction can make someone like that?" Captain Wang's eyebrows were raised, his tone somewhat displeased. Then he discovered another question that made him stunned.

  The faint smoke emanating from that cigarette was slowly drifting over Jiǔ Mìng's body, not passing around it, but rather through it!

  What is going on here?

  "Confidentially, anyway, is there anything you can't do that needs help? Of course, you also need to make the necessary payment, I advocate for fair trade here."

  "...No way!" Wang Hai was stunned for a moment, he already knew that it was the transaction from Jiumou's mouth that made Du Fei become like that, and now he actually had the nerve to propose this to him?

  He secretly felt that the school flower incident was related to the transaction between Jiǔ Mìng and Dù Fēi, but never mind, this matter has already passed, there is no need to bring it up again.

  "Don't worry, Du Fei's matter is just an example."

  "I really don't want to see any more examples, at least not in Changhe College, and those students are related." Wang Hai's face was stern, as if he would take action immediately if someone didn't obey.

  "You're quite concerned about those students?" Jiǔ Mìng smiled lightly and asked back.

  "That's my duty!"

  "Well, I can't guarantee that, but trust me, this kind of thing won't happen again." Jiuming shrugged and replied in a rather relaxed tone, "Of course, there won't be anything more out of line either."

  "......Well, that's it for now, here's my phone number." Standing up, Wang Hai shook his head somewhat helplessly, "Can I ask one more thing, are you human?"

  "It's a ghost, as you can see."

  "Could it be that such a thing really exists?" With all the smoke in his mouth spat out, Wang Hai knocked on his own forehead, "See you next time."

  "You actually made the beautiful girl wait this long, can you be any more disappointing?" Nine stared at the girl in front of him, who had her arms crossed and a scowl on her face.

  "Haven't you left yet?"

  "Why do you want to leave, you haven't given me an answer yet as to why I was brought to your house in the first place." The girl stomped her feet and ran to Jiǔ Mìng's side, "And what method did you use to make me come here without realizing it? And! I'm hungry!"

  "If you're hungry, go home and eat, don't stay here, I'm going to sleep." He scratched his messy hair, because this girl had perfected the mysterious shop, he was happy not to sleep on the sofa.

  "You scoundrel......!" The girl pointed at the counter here, "Is this a store? I saw that introduction book over there."

  ......The expressionless Nine Lives turned around and called out to Faceplate, "You set me up?"

  As a store manager, you shouldn't hide information about the mysterious shop from customers.

  "So she knew everything?"

  The other party's identity is special, and understanding of the content is limited to the surface level.

  Oh~ Special identity, huh? Is it a noble guest? Or is it a noble guest who can't speak clearly?

  "Alright then, guest, what would you like to buy? Or is there something specific you'd like to commission? Of course, payment after the fact is a must."

  "Hmm, finally a bit more serious. The girl crossed her legs and sat back down, 'Introduce myself, my name is Haruhi Suzumiya. I have no interest in ordinary humans. Aliens, time travelers, people from parallel universes, espers... are there any here? Is there food?"

  "My name is Jiu Ming, the store manager here... what can you pay with?" Anyway, it's still better to let this somewhat pitiful-looking girl leave.

  "Do you want money?"

  "Why does everyone like to mention money? Mentioning money hurts feelings! So if you're hungry, it's better to go home and eat!"

  "What a threatening attitude!! Let's talk about your kidnapping of high school girls, I'll call the police." The girl took out her phone, and Jiu Ming was very calm.

  "Huh? I'm really scared, is there a signal?" His eyesight wasn't bad, so he naturally saw the signal grid on Haruhi Suzumiya's mobile phone screen, empty.

  "I say it exists, do you have an opinion?"

  And then it was as if God said, "Let there be light", and miraculously, there was a signal on the phone!

  He... with a compromising expression, Jiǔ Mìng walked to the front of that door and pointed at the ground by his feet. "Looking for non-human existence? Look at the ground, I don't have a shadow!"
