after falling asleep

Chapter 108 03. Drowsy Water
"Shall I splash water on your face to wake you up?"

"Hey hey..." Sitting up, Mu Su scratched his head and giggled.

"I'm not praising you."

"Then I can always be a mascot! It's just the kind that doesn't have to do anything, just play cute and dawdle."

"If you dare to act cute, I will resign."

"I'm sorry, please forgive me!" Mu Su resolutely admitted his mistake, pretending nothing happened, took a sip from the water glass, and suddenly smacked his lips.

"Huh? What kind of water is this?"

"The cup you gave me."

"Oh."

Mu Su put down the water glass, walked to the bedside with a blank expression, fell down on his head, and fell asleep.

On the sofa, Shi Qi looked sideways, looked away for a long time, and started to operate the holographic screen.

The sunlight on the Iron Dome moves from east to west, and the light projected on the ground gradually fades away.When the room gradually darkened, Shi Qi got up and closed the holographic screen, without looking at Musu who was still asleep, turned and left and closed the door smoothly.

A quiet night.

The figure on the bed remained motionless.

Early the next morning, Shi Qi showed up on time, glanced at Musu who was still lying on the bed, and turned on the holographic screen to start working.

For a long time afterwards, the house remained relatively quiet.

Until Musu's eyelids moved and slowly opened.

"What's the matter, I've only slept for an hour, and I thought the medicine was effective." Mu Su, who propped himself up, quickly covered his mouth.

When Mu Su realized that he had slept for a day, it was already a month later.

He muttered that he was thirsty and hungry, and sat down beside Shi Qi.Subconsciously reaching for water, it suddenly occurred to me that the water was undrinkable.The left hand quickly pressed the right hand, and smiled at Shi Qi who looked up at him.

Shi Qi ignored Mu Su's small gestures, and reported the office situation to Mu Su like a professional assistant: "Sir, a client has made an appointment, and he will come at [-]:[-] pm. It is recommended that you decorate the room. Otherwise, it will affect the client." Impressions of our firm."

Musu leaned on the sofa, raised his five fingers with his right hand and brushed his hair back, and said proudly, "If someone comes so soon, let me say that you don't have to worry about not having any customers."

After the voice fell, a message popped up on the holographic screen.

Someone came to consult.

"I'm coming!" Mu Su volunteered to open the message.

【Are you there? 】

Mu Su replied quickly: [If you just want to ask if you are there, then forgive me for not having time to answer such meaningless questions. 】

"Your way of doing things is really refreshing." Shi Qi said coldly, not knowing whether it was a compliment or a sarcasm.

【Uh... That's right, something happened to me recently... I went to the hospital, they didn't find any problems, I suspect...】

Mu Su: [Spiritual event. 】

【Well, that's right... I think your firm seems to be able to handle it. 】

Mu Su: [Please don't worry, we Qingye cough cough... Our Seventeen Spiritual Detective Agency is very experienced in this kind of incident. 】

[Is your office in the Fourteenth Ring Road?I'm in Alpha City, when is the right time to go there? 】

"You can ask him to come over at one o'clock in the afternoon. The meeting of the two clients will make it look like we have a market." Shi Qi reminded Musu.

Mu Su: [You can ask him to come over at one o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting of the two clients will make us look like there is a market. 】

Mu Su sent it without saying a word, and then felt the cold gaze from the side.

【what……? 】

Mu Su: [Come here at one o'clock in the afternoon, the address is the suburb of Beta City...]

Mu Su got up with a dry cough: "You come and answer him, I'll go to the old couple to borrow something to decorate the room."

He would never admit that he had forgotten the address.

All the way down the stairs, the old man was watering the flowers in the front yard. After explaining his purpose, he enthusiastically led Mu Su to the basement.Most of the old items are there.

……

In room 301, Shi Qi followed the moving robot with his eyes.

A coat rack is placed behind the door, measuring 1 meter by 1 meter, and an abstract oil painting of unknown meaning is hung on the wall.The solid wood desk, matching boss chair and bookcase are arranged in the corner space.Books, lamps, ashtrays, notebooks and pens are all included.A heavy, centuries-old safe is set down against the desk.A scattered chess set rests on top.The tea table brought up yesterday added a layer of hollow tablecloth.Dark plank wallpaper replaces the otherwise plain colour.

Everything is properly placed, and the room actually reveals the style of a detective agency in the 18th and 19th centuries.

It was the big bed that was too conspicuous.

Da da--

The sound of crisp footsteps came from the corridor into the room, approaching here.

Shi Qi, who had been sitting upright on the sofa from the beginning to the end, paused with his fingers, and turned his head slightly to look at the door.

A figure appeared outside the door.

A well-fitting black suit with an ivory white shirt, leaning a little lazily in front of the door.A pure black top hat covered her jet-black short hair.There is a lonely confusion between the brows of the figure, revealing the solemnity of Shakespeare's tragedy.Falling into those eyes as deep as the night.A complex temperament that wanders between strength and fragility bursts out.

The sunlight like holy light poured on the figure, and the light slowly passed across his face, as if the top sculptor used a carving knife to outline the sharp-edged face little by little.

Shi Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help but take a closer look.

"Are you in love with me?"

The gloomy voice overflowed.

Shi Qi turned his attention back to the holographic screen.

"Tsk." Mu Su curled his lips in displeasure, took off his top hat and hung it on the coat rack.He unbuttoned the tight buckle and walked over to the sofa, and sat down on the boss chair behind the desk, with his hands on the armrests, his figure swaying from side to side in boredom.

All were recovered from the basement.Old man Gu said it belonged to his great-grandfather, and after Mu Su tried it on, it unexpectedly fit, so he borrowed it logically.

All that's left now is a pair of gentleman's crutches.Mu Su thought to himself.

Time gradually passed, and came to the afternoon.

Shi Qi sat upright, using the holographic screen.Mu Su looked up at the ceiling boredly.

"Sir, the two clients have arrived, I will pick them up."

The indifferent voice awakened Mu Su. The former got up and closed the holographic screen, and took a document bag on the table out the door.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and before Musu called to come in, Shi Qi had already led a middle-aged man in.

The middle-aged man dressed casually, looking haggard and nervous.When he walked across to Musu, he dared not sit down.

Shi Qiqing closed the door and handed a paper document to Musu.Turning to appease the client: "Please rest assured, you are safe here, they dare not come in."

The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie.

Musu's palm holding the document tightened, and he ground his teeth unhappily.

You bastard, you've never been so gentle with me.

I don't know if it worked, but the middle-aged man felt a little calm and sat down, and let out a long breath: "Your decoration here is really nice."

Mu Su looked at the paper on which the middle-aged person's information was written, without raising his eyes, he said casually: "You have encountered a supernatural event, right, can you tell me in detail."

This topic made the middle-aged man's body slightly stiff, and he stumbled and said, "Every morning I look at... the mirror, and I will see weird pictures in the mirror..."

"Then don't look in the mirror."
