A group of people traveled through a strange world, and I was the only one who was not a refugee.

268. Abnormal paintings, theory and practice

Akita Shin shook his head, thinking that there was no need to dwell on such an issue.

Whether it's foot control or leg control...

Only children make choices, adults want them all.

Eriri Sawamura didn't know that someone was approaching from behind. She only breathed a sigh of relief after fixing the picture frame.

He clapped his hands and then put them on his waist.

The New Year should naturally bring new things.

Of course, old things that can be replaced should be replaced with new ones. Besides, these were left by the previous owner of this mansion, and their aesthetics are not good enough.

She looked down at the old painting next to the stool, then looked at the new one. She was unsure whether they overlapped, so she took a step back and planned to take a closer look.

"Acridine!"

"哐————"

She first heard the sound of a hammer falling to the ground, and then she realized that someone was holding her firmly from behind.

"Really, sir? You are not..."

"There's nothing going on at the precinct, so I left work early. Eriri, don't you know that you're standing on a stool?"

Akita Makoto held her in a princess hug, his expression unchanged as he spoke. He also weighed her with his hand and found that she was too light.

"I suddenly didn't remember."

Eriri Sawamura's face turned a little red, mostly because of his behavior.

"Be more careful next time. If Shiyu sees this, she'll probably laugh at you and call you an idiot again."

Akita Shin took a look at the pair of white jade feet, quickly retracted his gaze, gently put her down, and turned to look at the picture frame that had just been hung up.

This is a landscape painting.

Looking at it as a whole, it’s hard to tell where Akita is, but it certainly doesn’t resemble the surrounding landscape of Kyoto.

The creator took an unconventional approach, almost abandoning form and verve, and focusing more on mystery.

The fog covered the hilltops and trees, giving people an extremely hazy feeling.

Looking at it from different angles and in different moods will produce a different idea.

If I really have to describe it, it would probably be - when you look at a mountain from the front you see a mountain range and when you look at it from the side you see a peak; it looks different from different distances and heights.

"My Lord, what do you think of this painting?"

Seeing that he was looking at it seriously, Eriri became a little curious. She thought this style was very unique, and Hikigaya Komachi also thought it was amazing.

Plus the price was not expensive, so I bought it.

"It looks a bit strange. Have you examined this type of thing carefully, Eriri?"

While speaking, Akita Shin released his mental power and scanned the place inside and out.

Sure enough, the problem was found.

"I checked it carefully using my mental power, so I felt confident buying it." Eriri Sawamura nodded.

She thought for a moment and asked anxiously, "Master, is there something wrong with this painting? Is it related to weirdness..."

“It’s a little bit of a problem, but it’s nothing serious.”

Akita really didn't intend to hide it. Although this was beyond the ability of a D-level psychic, it would be a good thing to use this incident to make her and others more vigilant and careful in the future.

"Eh?"

"Don't worry, it's not weird, but there is a very hidden secret technique arranged in the painting. It's normal that you can't find it, Eriri."

"And it's not necessarily the person who sold you the painting who did it."

Akita Shin smiled faintly and roughly explained the principle to her.

The main function of this type of secret technique is to absorb emotions, but not too much. Even if an ordinary person stays close to it for ten or eight years, nothing will happen.

But the emotions obtained through the secret technique do not act on the painting itself, causing it to undergo an indescribable transformation, but instead drift away.

Most likely it was the work of some underground organization.

After listening to his description, Eriri Sawamura's first reaction was relief, then frowning.

Are the people in the underground organization so bold?

Without giving it much thought, she hurried to pick up a few other paintings she had just purchased.

Only after Akita Shinichi checked one by one and confirmed that there was nothing abnormal did she feel completely relieved.

"

Ying Lili, where did you buy these paintings? "

Whether it was a coincidence or a premeditated conspiracy, since Akita Shin had discovered it, he naturally couldn't just sit back and do nothing.

But he still prefers the former.

After all, if it was aimed at him, not to mention whether he knew that he had been promoted to A-level, playing with these secret techniques in front of a B-level psychic was tantamount to showing off one's skill in front of an expert.

If the person is a physical transcendent with a rough and careless character, he may still succeed.

When she heard that it was within the jurisdiction of the Third Outer City Branch, Akita Zhen raised her eyebrows, said nothing, and just asked her to prepare some tea and food.

He sat at the desk, took out a piece of white paper, wrote two lines, and then folded it casually.

Soon, a paper crane flew out of the window, and driven by spiritual power, its speed became faster and faster.

Before arriving at the destination, there were passers-by or extraordinary people who saw it, but as soon as they saw the posture, they knew it was the work of a high-level spiritual extraordinary person who was used to convey a message, so he naturally would not have the leisure to snipe.

The third out-of-city division.

Yukinoshita Yukino and another squad leader just checked the home of the person who reported the case and found nothing unusual.

All the police officers on duty were helpless.

It is very common for citizens to report a crime due to psychological problems, but nothing happens in the end.

But I have to come and take a look.

Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at the watch made of special materials and said calmly, "Thank you for your hard work. There are still two and a half hours before the end of the get off work. Cheer up."

Wearing a guard uniform and with a cold attitude, she seemed difficult to get along with.

However, the police officers from the Third Out-of-City Police Station were already used to it and responded one after another.

"Ok?"

A paper crane swooped down with a strong wind, instantly alerting the police officers who were about to leave.

"Don't do it, it's Akita-sama."

Yukinoshita Yukino sensed a very familiar mental power and immediately spoke out to stop it.

The paper crane landed lightly on her palm, and her mind suddenly became clear for a moment.

Yukinoshita Yukino pursed her lips to hide the smile at the corner of her lips.

The adult in her family probably found it too troublesome and was too lazy to take back this little bit of mental power, so he used the characteristics of the initiation method to contact her mental power.

"Captain Yukinoshita, does Lord Akita have any instructions?"

"Well, there is a shop in the area that may be selling paintings related to the supernatural. We have to go and take a look, but we can't alert the enemy. I will just observe from a distance."

…………

Different from what Yukinoshita Yukino thought, Akita Makoto was trying to use the "divided thoughts" method to attach the mental power that controlled the paper crane to her in order to observe the follow-up.

As expected, it failed. Distance has always been a problem that limits the performance of psychics.

But Akita really didn't care. As long as there was a possibility of success, it would be worth it even if he failed a thousand times.

He has never been bound by theories, otherwise he would not be able to materialize the spiritual realm.

It's just a tiny amount of mental energy. I won't feel bad even if it consumes more.

Who made the mental power grow so fast that consumption became a headache?

"You are such a great man."

269. Tsundere cuteness, Eriri fainted~

Akita Shin collected his thoughts and looked up.

When I saw Eriri Sawamura holding a large plate with a teapot and teacups, as well as a lot of food, I could only smile helplessly.

"Why did you get so many?"

"When Komachi and I came back, we bought too many snacks. We couldn't finish them all. My Lord, please eat more, or they won't taste good if you wait any longer."

Compared to the beginning, Sawamura Eriri now has fewer concerns and seems very casual.

Others don’t know, but she doesn’t like to think about what she is saying before speaking to decide if it’s appropriate to say it out loud.

Anyway, real adults won’t care.

Seeing him put the big plate on the low table, Akita smiled and looked somewhat satisfied.

This is what he would like to see.

It's natural to be casual at home.

If you have to be nervous no matter what you do or say, it's not a home.

It is normal to have such considerations when a new family member joins the family.

But if Kasumigaoka Utaha and others were like this, he would have to consider whether there was still a sense of "estrangement" between him and them.

Standing up and walking over to sit down, Akita Shin picked up a piece of sushi and then picked up the teacup.

After taking a sip of hot tea, my mood became much better.

"My Lord, will you take a holiday when the New Year comes?"

Eriri Sawamura sat up from her knees and refilled the tea to 70% full while asking questions.

Akita Shin casually responded, "It depends on the situation. If nothing serious happens, I should be able to take a five-day vacation."

The New Year in Japan is not as grand as the New Year in previous lives.

Fortunately, there is no such thing as adjusted holidays. The end of this year falls on Saturday and Sunday, plus the three statutory days, a total of five days.

"Do you have any plans for that time?" Sawamura Eriri's mind became active.

Akita Shin looked at her and curled his lips: "Not yet, Eriri, if you have any good suggestions, please tell me, I will consider it."

"No, I'm just asking casually. Master Zhen, you can discuss it with Xiao Ai and the others when the time comes."

Eriri Sawamura denied it subconsciously, but soon became annoyed.

This is obviously a good opportunity!

She is not as good at disguising her emotions as the maid. Whatever she thinks is written all over her face.

Akita Shin thinks that her tsundere attributes are much stronger than those of Miura Yumiko and Nakano Nino.

If it was the former, I would definitely discuss it with him directly at this time.

As for Nakano Nino, he had spent relatively little time with her, so he couldn't be sure for now.

Ultimately, it's because the emotions are not strong enough and need to be improved.

Akita was thinking in his heart, but he was not in a hurry. He ate and drank tea while chatting with her.

Wait until you have had enough tea and food.

"Yinglili."

"My Lord, would you like to take a bath?"

"Just a little curious, why do you want to sit across from me?"

"Eh?"

Eriri Sawamura was stunned at first, but then she reacted and felt a strong sense of shame in her heart.
