Brave World, I report to the police station in red at the beginning

"It's really the same everywhere... Can you tell me everything?"

He shook off the water droplets, turned back to meet the girl's eyes, and asked softly.

The girl, knowing that she would be found out sooner or later, nodded slightly.

Tell Li Mengyu everything that happened here. She is ready.

"Really, no matter which world it is, it's the same."

She didn't quite understand what Li Mengyu said, but at least she knew that Li Mengyu didn't become as indifferent and distant as those people because of her situation.

His eyes were still the same as at the beginning.

And, this conversation isn't over yet.

"Actually, my parents died in an accident when I was very young. After that, I lived with my aunt. I have experienced most of the things you have experienced."

"!"

Facing the girl's trembling eyes, Li Mengyu laughed dryly.

"Haha, this isn't an uncommon thing. Although I've experienced it, my aunt who took me in is a very nice person. She helped me a lot, so... it's not a completely unacceptable past."

The warm palm fell on the girl's head.

"It doesn't matter to me."

The gently uttered words were like opening a floodgate, and mist instantly filled Jun Qianjing's eyes.

Heart-wrenching sobbing sounded in the room.

Li Mengyu just touched her head and let the child vent... This pain must have been accumulating for a long time.

When the girl's crying subsided, Li Mengyu withdrew her sore hand.

"Tomorrow isn't the weekend, is it? Will you still be bullied at school?"

The girl didn't answer, but Li Mengyu already got the answer.

He went outside the door, picked up the branch, and handed it to Jun Qianjing.

"Although it's a bit hasty, it should still be in time. I will teach you how not to be bullied, but there is one condition. No matter what you learn from me, you can't use it to bully the weak."

Li Mengyu's expression was a little stiff. He didn't know if what he was doing was right, but he chose to believe his own eyes.

Seeing that Li Mengyu looked serious and didn't seem to be joking, Jun Qianjing took note of his words and nodded.

"Then let's get started quickly. Let me get this straight... Since you've agreed, I won't stop even if you cry and say no."

It always feels a little weird to say it, but it doesn’t matter, Li Mengyu herself didn’t have any weird thoughts, and no one else heard it.

"!"

There was a strange noise at the door, as if someone had stepped on puddles on the floor tiles and slipped and fell.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

A girl of about 17 or 18 years old fell at the door with her hands on her buttocks, looking haggard. What she had on her back was a bamboo sword? Her eyes met with Li Mengyu, who turned around after being startled by the noise...

Li Mengyu could understand the pain and confusion in his eyes, but what about that look of disgust at seeing a pervert?

Oh? His eyes became firm, as if something like a spark was burning in them.

The girl didn't seem to be injured by the fall and she climbed up by herself by grabbing the door handle.

She took the bamboo sword off her back and let out a long breath while holding the sword in her hand.

"Go to hell, pervert!"

He walked forward in a very standard way. Even if it was a bamboo sword, it would still be very painful if he was hit head-on.

Li Mengyu was about to say something when Jun Qianjing, holding a tree branch, stood in front of him. With his small body and unable to do anything, he raised his arm high, perhaps wanting to use it to take the hit for him.

"Ah, ah, that's enough, the guy who broke into my house!"

Chapter 7: Never miss an opportunity to earn extra money (Supplement)

"Although I don't dislike people with a strong sense of justice, but when it comes to the people around me, it's not a matter of like or dislike. Do you have anything to refute, Miss Intruder?"

The girl, who was tied to a chair with her backs tied with thick hemp rope, could only make "wuwu" sounds because a clean rag was stuffed in her mouth.

It's a pity that Li Mengyu's method of tying people up was a bit crude. She only tied up the hands and feet. Alas - it was inexplicably boring.

The sound of branches breaking through the air could be heard from time to time in the house.

In the spacious living room, Jun Qianjing, with his sleeves pulled up to his shoulders, was holding the branch and doing the same vertical chopping movement that Li Mengyu had done at the beginning. Although his move was not as standard as Li Mengyu's, it was still pretty good.

Sweat kept dripping down her cheeks, and there was an obvious sweat stain on the solid wood floor that was only found in the living room.

"Do 1000 straight chop first, count by yourself, and you are allowed to rest only after you finish."

Li Mengyu said something towards the living room.

He had corrected the kid's posture at first and tampered with the branch. These 1000 times could only be considered a warm-up, and a chance to see the kid's talent.

The corner of his eye fell on the girl who was still struggling and making a "wuwu" sound from her mouth.

"Breaking into a private house, as I recall... you can kill the 'criminal' directly depending on the situation, right?"

"It sounds familiar, but it's definitely not the law here!"

The girl had a strong desire to survive, but it was futile. She could only watch Li Mengyu take the cloth out of her mouth.

The scary things ended here. Li Mengyu didn’t know what to do next.

He didn't forget to emphasize it when he untied the rope on the other person.

"You were the one who started it. I was just acting in self-defense. Even if you call the police, it would be you who gets arrested..."

What.

The girl who regained her freedom still looked at Li Mengyu with more caution and, of course, embarrassment.

She probably knew that she had misunderstood at first, but...she covered her still aching belly.

Even if it was self-defense, how could someone use a direct punch on a girl to make her lose her ability to fight?

"Here, lemonade."

As luck would have it, this guy even brought her lemonade. She felt like she was going to vomit acid.

Definitely intentional.

Unfortunately, she was very thirsty because of the dry towel that had been stuffed in her mouth for a long time.

"Tons, tons, tons."

This guy has an extremely bad character.

Seeing her put down the cup, Li Mengyu crossed her arms.

"Okay, the misunderstanding is resolved, and the water is drunk. Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"what?"

Instead, a strange sound came out of the girl's mouth.

……

“Is it really changing like this?”

Standing at the door, looking at the wooden sign on the house that is obviously hung temporarily, should I say that its presence is too low or it is too well covered?

"Dream Language Paranormal Agency"

It looks like Chinese characters are outlined on it as if they were printed using computer fonts.

That’s really cool. Just by hanging up a sign, your home becomes an office, right?

but--

Li Mengyu let out a long sigh. This actually made it easier for him to do what he was going to do.

"I roughly understand it. As for the details, let's talk about it inside."

He gave a businesslike smile to the girl who followed him out.

For the girl... the feeling of unreliability was about to overflow the screen. After all, it was the first time she saw the office's meeting method of just moving two stools and sitting face to face.

Too simple.

However, she really had no better choice. After sorting out her thoughts, she told Li Mengyu the story.

"I came here from Hokkaido with my boyfriend and my bestie... to participate in the competition."

"Hokkaido... that's really far away."

Although she didn't know where it was and couldn't check it on her mobile phone for the time being, Li Mengyu was not embarrassed at all as she was lying with her eyes open.

As it happened, he guessed right. Kochi Prefecture, located in Shikoku, is indeed far away from Hokkaido.

"It's all my fault... If I hadn't insisted on them coming with me, that wouldn't have happened."

The girl hugged the bamboo sword returned by Li Mengyu tightly, her pupils were a little dilated, and she seemed to be lost in memories.

The girl is a member of the school's kendo club. This time she actually went to Shikoku to participate in a swordsmanship competition similar to a college league. Her best friend and boyfriend accompanied her as her entourage.

Because it was a college league, the school also allocated them a sum of money for the competition, which was like a bonus. After deducting the travel tickets and necessary expenses, there was still a lot left.

Well, boys and girls of this age generally won’t just follow the rules to complete the competition and be done with it. It’s a rare opportunity for them to leave their hometown and come to another city, so they naturally want to have a good time.

"I heard there's a shrine in the mountains of Kochi Prefecture that's very powerful, especially for blessing couples..."

Ah~ This is actually understandable.

"Did the accident happen when you went to worship at that shrine?"

"I...I don't know either."

There was confusion in the girl's eyes.

"We asked the villagers for directions and walked into the mountains in the direction they pointed, but we walked for a long time and didn't see the shrine... and then suddenly there was fog."

"It's normal to have fog in the mountains, right?" Speaking of fog, Li Mengyu's senses were not very good, but it didn't show on her face.

The girl shook her head repeatedly.

"That was definitely not ordinary fog! It became super thick in the blink of an eye! Takashi (boyfriend) and Kaori (best friend) who were right next to me disappeared in an instant. Even though they could hear each other's voices, they couldn't see each other."

Recalling the scene at that time, the girl's shoulders trembled slightly.

"And the temperature became very cold. Even wearing a mountaineering suit, it was still very cold. And just as I continued to call out to Takashi and Kaori, they suddenly told me to run! And then...then I heard Kaori's screams!"

When the girl's trembling frequency reached a certain level, Li Mengyu patted her shoulder, and the emblem on the back of her hand flashed.

"It's all in the past."

The words uttered had an inexplicable magical power, and the girl's originally frightened heart slowly calmed down.

"And then you ran away?"

The girl nodded.

"I... I don't know what happened. I would never run away... but I ran away."

This girl seems to have a good instinct when it comes to foreseeing danger.

"You just did what they asked you to do. Don't blame yourself for what happened. Please continue."

"I ran for a very long time. I can't remember the exact time, but it was definitely much longer than the time it took us to climb the mountain. Even so, I couldn't get out of the thick fog."

The girl's eyes fell on the tiles.

"Then who are you?"

"Just like when the fog came out, it suddenly disappeared again... When I realized that the fog had disappeared, Takashi and Kaori were no longer around, and I stopped in front of a police box."

“?” A strange sense of déjà vu.

"I told the police officer there about my experience..."

"Ah~ What a bizarre encounter. It could be that your friends are playing a prank on you again."
