Chapter Thirty-Three Unlucky Kid

  "How can you say that so easily? 'I'm really dead, it doesn't matter'?" Shokuhou Misaki was quite astonished at the straightforward admission of her own death.

  "I'm being realistic here, I've seen a scenario where after I die, my body is dried and roasted in an oven like jerky, tsk tsk."

  While talking about a very serious topic, Jiǔ Mìng didn't even withdraw his arm and said "You're telling me that Yī Fāng Tōngxíng can't be found? Are you kidding me?"

  "Of course not, my person couldn't find him when they went looking for him, maybe he went somewhere else, but he should be back home by now, do you want to go take a look?" Shining bright eyes at Jiǔ Mìng, Shí Fēng Zǎo Qí was somewhat perplexed as to why Jiǔ Mìng had suddenly fallen silent, "What's wrong?"

  "Huh? Looks like I'm a step too late?" He weakly waved his hand, and Jiǔ Mìng knocked on his own arm. "Tell me his address, by the way, what's your take on clones?"

  "Huh?!" Feng Qingxue's expression slightly froze, as if he had thought of something, and asked back in a somewhat stunned tone, "What's the point of asking this?"

  "Never mind, nothing." Jiǔ Mìng shook his head, "Take his address..."

  "Wait a minute, you don't have some special preference for one-way traffic, do you?" What's this, the gossip mentality of women?

  "Huh? That's right, I'm really interested in his gender, and I was thinking of taking a peek while he's showering... are you interested in the process?"

  "How disgusting." As if he had touched something dirty, Shòu Mìng also couldn't care about the 'touching a corpse' movement anymore, and quickly let go of Jiǔ Mìng's arm. "I'll give you my address later, now I'm going to take a bath."

  "What are you insinuating?" He slightly raised an eyebrow and glanced at her with a hint of warning.

  "Taking a bath every day is normal, isn't it...?"

  "In short, your condescending tone needs to change. Do you think that as a ghost, I need to go through the trouble of doing what humans do?" Feng Qingyun said lightly, and Jiuming waved his hand at him, "Go ahead, go ahead, I'll take a rest."

  No, don't give him the address directly, it's not safe for even a moment, but... is it too late today?

  I hope it was just a one-time thing and not something that happens every day.

  Jiǔ Mìng was leaning on the sofa, lost in thought and didn't want to talk. Shí Fēng's hands were holding a bag, which she put aside. With her abilities, even if she lived in a house outside of school at night, it wouldn't be a problem, and she thought that ordinary people would not be able to discover her secret.

  Cloning humans......? One-way traffic.

  One of her subordinates also reported to her that in a certain ward of the hospital where Mitsuzuka was being treated, there was a patient who might be the third person with an identical twin sister identity as Mikoto Misaka.

  Ah ha? Does she have some unknown sister or younger sister?

  Jiǔ Mìng's ears were very sharp, and soon he heard the sound of showers coming from afar. Judging by the volume of the sound, it seemed that the bathroom door was not closed, or perhaps it wasn't even shut tightly? This girl, who was only in middle school at the time, how did she have so many romantic thoughts? Was she already old?

  Well, as expected, as long as he wasn't beaten to the point of being scattered and annihilated, his image would forever be eighteen years old. They say that external age affects internal age, and this saying is indeed true. Jiǔ Mìng was sealed in the mysterious shop, and after a period of continuous training, he still didn't feel like he had changed much.

  This guy is still a bit silly, and also quite sentimental, that's all.

  "Are you really a man?" After taking a bath, with wet hair and a refreshing aura, Shokuhou Kyouko stood in front of Jounin, looking down at him with an extremely disdainful tone.

  "This isn't nonsense! If it wasn't for being helpless, humph!" Jiǔ Mìng let out a yawn, his tone even more disdainful. Helpless? Do you believe that?

  "Oh dear? I forgot you're not human." Gently covering her mouth, Xiao Feng couldn't help but laugh at Jiu Ming, and only then did she feel at ease.

  "Girl, you've read too few books, don't you know that men can be perverts... tsk tsk."

  Seeing the subtle change in Shi Feng's expression, Jiu Ming smiled with a slight curl of his lips. "Don't worry, I still have some self-control. By the way, whether you close the door or not doesn't make much difference to me."

  "I washed for almost three hours! You did it on purpose!!! After a casual conversation, Jiǔ Mìng's tone suddenly turned sharp with a strong sense of resentment, "Aren't you afraid your skin will wrinkle?"

  It's now ten o'clock...

  "It's only been three hours, here you go." Seeing the slightly impatient expression on Jiǔ Mìng's face, Shí Fēng handed him a note.

  "OK, goodbye, it's getting late, go to sleep quickly." He swiftly took the note and stood up without any hesitation or lingering, waved his hand at her and turned around to leave, without saying a word.

  This guy! Gnashing his teeth, Shokuhou Misaki tightly stared at the back of Kusuo Saiki leaving, could it be that his charm had already fallen to a level where he couldn't even compare to a flat-chested girl?!

  Through the information she collected, it is highly likely that the 'mysterious' client of the Nine Lives is actually from the hospital.

  He is a lolicon...?

  No, no, is it a trick of "loosening the reins to catch the horse"?

  A woman's heart!

  Nine lives, no way?

  Of course not, even if he became a ghost, he is still a man, it's just that he didn't have too many extravagant hopes, so within less than a day of 'knowing' each other, he could make the other person follow him devotedly. Damn, his surname isn't Long, nor does he have a handsome face or a strong build, let alone a majestic aura. When he makes a move, it's not domineering, but rather an eerie and gloomy 'ghostly energy' that can be felt by normal people.

  You're destined not to be a part of this world, so don't think about harming other people's little girls.

  "My mood is already bad enough... Why did I run into you again!? Like a ghostly shadow, he walked on the street, Jiumeng's eyes twitching as he looked at the spiky-haired boy scratching his head and looking around, "What are you doing wandering around here in the middle of the night?"

  "Who are you... it's really you!" Kamado Tanji also looked at Kuno with great curiosity, carefully identifying him as the "doctor" he had met during the day and kicked away.

  "Halt! Keep your distance, and put away that right claw of yours!" Jiǔ Mìng was quite wary of this ill-fated-looking young man, especially his right hand. "Just stand where you are and talk to me!"

  "Hey, if it's no trouble, could you let me through? I'm in a hurry." Kamijou Touma said with some urgency, his eyes darting around as if searching for something.

  "What kind of beautiful girl are you looking for who runs around wildly at midnight?"

  "What the...?! What are you talking about, this kind of nonsense Old Master would never agree with." Stop joking, heaven and earth can testify, he himself is just trying to find something lost, although he's already prepared for it to be gone forever, but... not looking for it would make him even more uneasy!

  "Really? I called the police...... Stop! I was just joking." Looking at Ushiro no Tatemae who wanted to pounce on him and hug his leg, Kuno's eyes twitched in the corner, quickly stopping his action. If he was touched by his right hand, what would happen to himself, he absolutely didn't want to know.

  "Tell me, what do you want to do? Maybe I can help. It's already late anyway, so wasting a bit more time doesn't matter. Looking at his miserable and hapless face, even Nine Lives felt sorry for him."

  "Thank you so much! My savings card is gone and I think my phone might have fallen off at that time too..."

  Looking at Ushiro no Tsubasa who had just finished talking about a string of unfortunate events, Kuroba Yuu took a step back and said that this chain of misfortunes started from a lost savings card that nobody knew when it was lost?

  "Wait! If you don't even know when you lost your savings card, how can you be so clear about the process?" Anyway, it's better to stay away from him for now.

  "With so many experiences, of course I know the process."

  Oh! Jiǔ Mìng nodded his head, so that's how it is, many times of experience... Oh haha, indeed very miserable, young man.

  "You're really... Anyway, let's just keep a safe distance of five meters between us, I'll help you look." Jiǔ Mìng sympathetically waved his hand at him, marking out a relatively safe distance.

  "Although I appreciate your kindness, the disdain in your words is really hurtful!" Rubbing his head, Ushiro no Taira was speechless at Kunoichi's contradictory behavior, and ultimately defined her as a weird, good-hearted person who wandered around aimlessly at midnight.

  Of course, it's also possible that they're looking for a "beautiful girl" who wanders around at midnight... Should we call the police?

  "What I said doesn't need to be replayed in your mind, I'm not that despicable."

  "What's wrong?"

  "Next time when you think of something in your heart, it's better to make a good expression, it's easy for people to guess."

  "Ah!?" Is it that easy to guess?

  "Where did you lose your stuff?"

  "It should be here, I've looked everywhere else I walked today and this is the last place left." Kamisato said hastily.

  The last place, no wonder it's so late and still wandering around everywhere. It turns out that you've been to all the places where the dog might have gone, but after such a long time, are you sure it wasn't picked up by someone?

  "Whatever, I'm free anyway." He shook his head and deeply sympathized with this poor unlucky guy.

  "Thank you so much!"

  "It's a small matter, don't stand around anymore, even if you're idle, wasting time is no good."

  Under the streetlight, Ushiro looked down at Kuroba's feet with a slight glance... The scene he saw made his heart shrink slightly. Damn it, there was no shadow! Had Mr. Ushiro, who had always been accompanied by bad luck, encountered something eerie!?

  Just then, the nine lives walked out of the streetlight's range, I must have seen it wrong. Rubbing my eyes, Toudou Mami thought a bit uncertainly... probably?

  "What are you standing there for? If you're not looking for it, I'll leave." What's wrong with this unlucky kid?

  "Uh, no, of course we have to look."
