Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 174.005. Zhu Qinsheng

Qing Yise stared in surprise at the man's back.

This was a young man of Asian descent in his early twenties, with short, flowing hair; his running figure was quite pleasing to the eye. The girls' hands were gripped tightly, and led by the man, they skillfully navigated the intricate network of alleyways, eventually arriving at a bustling section of road filled with traffic.

The two finally stopped, and Qing Yise was able to raise his head and examine the young man's appearance.

He was breathing heavily, with delicate features and a slightly tense expression.

Xiao Shuai.

"We should be out of danger by now," the young man said, panting, giving her a forced smile.

"Th-thank you," Qing Yise replied in fluent Japanese, then awkwardly withdrew her hand.

The young man was greatly embarrassed and quickly scratched his head, apologizing, "I'm sorry."

"It's nothing, and thank you for your help," Qing Yise said politely.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now." The young man smiled brightly.

"Okay, goodbye." The girl waved and turned to leave.

The girl had a severe muscle strain in her right leg. She hadn't noticed it when she was running away, but only realized it after she was out of danger. It was extremely painful for her to walk.

Qing Yise frowned, but having practiced martial arts for many years, injuries were commonplace. Moreover, she now possessed the physique of a demon, so her recovery ability should have been even faster. Unfortunately, she was currently in a weak state and dared not even touch flesh, so she had no chance to recover.

However, she also felt a little relieved that she had been rescued by a complete stranger, which made her feel that there was still a small amount of kindness in this unfamiliar city.

She had only taken a few steps when she saw a tall, burly man holding a photo and asking passersby, "Excuse me, have you seen the lady in the photo?"

Qing Yise had good eyesight and saw her own photo from afar. She was startled and realized that the man had his hat brim pulled low, so she couldn't see his face, but he was physically strong.

Her body instinctively reminded her that the other person's energy was extremely attractive, and Qing Yise had to suppress a certain impulse.

Just like seeing an ice-cold Sprite when you're thirsty, or smelling the aroma of grilled ribs when you're hungry, Qing Yise could even feel the restless desires surging through her blood.

However, the other party is clearly an enemy, not a friend.

She clutched her skirt tightly with both hands, lowered her head, and walked away silently.

Just as Tanaka finished asking the passerby, he caught a glimpse of the girl with her head down and face covered as she walked away nonchalantly.

His years as a detective had made him wary. He turned to Fujiwara Chizuru on the other side and said, "Chief, there's something going on. I think I've spotted the target."

Having said that, he quickly walked closer.

Fujiwara Chizuru, who was across the street, nodded and quickly followed.

Qing Yise turned into an old building, her face solemn. Her leg injury was stimulating her pain nerves, but she couldn't care less about that at the moment.

"Thum, thump, thump."

Aoko hurried upstairs. In the dimly lit stairwell, the lights were gradually illuminated by the girl's hurried footsteps, as if reminding Tanaka, who was chasing after her, of the distance between them.

The old building suddenly became noisy.

"stop!"

Below, amidst a uniform sea of ​​green, a man's roar mingled with the sound of hurried footsteps climbing the stairs, echoing through the stairwell.

She gritted her teeth, quickened her pace, and gripped the railing with both hands, ring after ring. The sound beneath her feet was like the endless notes of a piano, coming from the dark depths.

hurry up.

Hurry up!
A flickering light shone in Qing Yise's eyes, the dim, soft light of the stairwell, like fireflies flitting in the night.

Suddenly, a light flashed in her pupils. As she passed the floor, the door of an apartment suddenly opened, and the fluorescent light from the room shone on her face, pouring down until it reached the crack in the door.

The man, carrying a tall stack of documents, peeked out but paused, then asked, "The lady from earlier?"

Qing Yise's eyes flashed, but before he could speak, the chaotic footsteps below rang out again: "Stop!"

The young man clearly realized what was happening, slammed the file box on the ground, and pulled the girl into the house.

Before Qing Yise could think, he grabbed her wrist again and looked up to meet the young man's serious gaze: "Please believe me."

After saying that, he closed the door and locked Qing Yise in the room.

"boom."

Qingyi turned around and found that this was a converted rented room. The central hall was filled with packages, cardboard boxes of all sizes were scattered all over the floor, and some plastic bags had just been sealed. Further inside, the sofa and the bedroom behind it were filled with all sorts of items: cabinets, shelves, acrylic nightlights, simple cartoon decorations...

Although it was messy, the passageways were simply laid out, and each area was neatly divided.

This guy turns out to be an individual e-commerce seller.

Before Qing Yise could get used to her new environment, she heard a noise outside the door and had to hide inside. In her haste, she found the bedroom, opened the window, and a large gust of air rushed in. The curtains were pushed out of the window by the temperature difference between hot and cold, and fluttered outside.

Looking down, I saw the neon lights of Sakyodo City flashing in the night, with cars coming and going in a bustling crowd and pedestrians hurrying by like ants.

I can't jump down.

Qing Yise felt weak in the knees, turned around and saw the wardrobe, her petite body plunging inside.

……

Tanaka rushed over, only to find a young man squatting on the ground tidying up the mess of papers.

"Excuse me!" Tanaka heard footsteps in the hallway and rushed over without looking up.

Fujiwara Chizuru, whose physical strength was inferior to Tanaka's, was two levels slower than him, but she gritted her teeth and kept up with his actions.

She noticed the young man squatting on the ground, took a closer look, and was surprised to find that he was an acquaintance: "Jin Jun?"

The young man turned around and greeted her with a slightly apologetic look: "Officer Fujiwara."

"Why are you here?"

"I was helping a friend tidy up their apartment when a clumsy girl bumped into me as soon as I stepped outside."

"Where is she?" Fujiwara pressed.

Jin Ziyue pointed upstairs: "He ran up, and another gentleman chased after him."

"Thank you!" Fujiwara Chizuru confirmed the information and ran upstairs without looking back.

The chase on the rooftop continues.

By the time Tanaka rushed to the rooftop, the other side had already closed the rooftop door of the opposite building.

"Don't try to escape!"

Tanaka rushed forward in a few strides, his explosive sprint as a 100-meter sprint champion allowing him to easily flip over the gap between the two buildings. He rolled twice along the ground to dissipate his momentum, squatted down, and successfully reached the rooftop of the opposite building.

Fujiwara opened the door and rushed over.

"Section Chief! The target has locked the door!"

Tanaka grabbed the door, but it was locked from the inside, so he could only push it open with his shoulder.

Fujiwara Chizuru, speaking from across the building, asked, "Can you break it open?"

"No problem!" Tanaka took two steps back, shouted, and turned to rush forward.

"boom!"

……

"Crench."

The door opened.

The young man took a breath and said, "It's alright now."

"Girl, are you still there?" he asked softly.

A creaking sound came from the bedroom.

Qingyise crawled out from the pile of clothes.

"Thank you," she said sincerely.

"You're welcome."

"Um..." Qing Yise said somewhat embarrassedly, "You saved me again. May I ask what your name is?"

The young man smiled and said, "My name is Zhu Qinsheng, and I come from District 9."
