For no reason, a strange atmosphere filled the air between the two of them, and the temperature in the store seemed to have dropped a few degrees.
There was an aura about this dark red woman that could not be expressed in words. It was a feeling that was very different from ordinary people. Just by looking at it, Jiang Li understood that this woman was absolutely extraordinary and mysterious.
"Excuse me, are you a colleague?"
The dark red-haired woman looked at him for a while, then a decent smile suddenly appeared on her face.
Her eyes had naturally ignored the two ladies next to her, and her attention was obviously focused on Jiang Li.
"What colleague?"
Jiang Li looked confused.
Sorry, he is not the Riddler.
Although he could tell that this woman was unusual, Jiang Li couldn't guess her identity at first glance and didn't know what she meant.
"No, maybe I misunderstood, please don't worry about it."
There was no sign of belief or doubt in her eyes. She just looked at Jiang Li steadily for a while, then smiled.
"Boss, please introduce to me the desserts here..."
She turned to look at Boudica, the proprietress, and placed her order, which was quite large.
However, although she no longer looked here, Jiang Li felt keenly that this woman still focused most of her attention on him.
Soon, she left the store carrying the large packaging bag.
Until the second before leaving, she didn't even look at Jiang Li.
But in Jiang Li's eyes, this kind of performance was even more bizarre.
When ordinary people face him, they can't help but keep staring at him, as if they are admiring some art. Even if they look away, they will look reluctant. This is a carnival for the brain, just like taking drugs.
It’s just as hard to extricate yourself from.
There is only one kind of person who will deliberately not look at him.
Those are the people who are wary of him.
"Who is this?"
Jiang Li was confused for a moment.
Thin memory seems embarrassingly useless at this time.
At least give him a name so that he can recall relevant memories.
After that, he stayed in the store for another half hour.
Thanks to this, the desserts in the store were completely sold out. Mrs. Boudica even apologized and said that she could not thank him. Normally, the leftovers could be given to a few shop assistants, but there were too many customers today.
After expressing that they didn't care at all, Jiang Li and Minamoto Norimitsu embarked on their way home.
Just walked into the residential area.
Jiang Li's eyes flashed slightly.
Several birds were hovering over the surrounding houses, their outstretched wings as dark as crows. They came and went in mid-air, occasionally stopping on telephone poles to rest, with no intention of leaving.
"Well, it's almost the time for the birds to migrate!"
Minamoto no Yorimitsu had no doubt that he was there, he just lamented the passage of time.
"That's right."
Jiang Li looked calm on the surface, but deep down he was serious.
This blackbird was almost exactly the same as the blackbird he encountered while wandering around the city two nights ago, and there were several more this time than last time.
Could it be that you are here to monitor me?
No reason!
He wrapped himself up tightly that night, not showing half of his face. It was still dark, so he shouldn't be exposed that easily.
Unable to figure out the reason for the moment, Jiang Li pretended that nothing happened.
He wants to find the shadows related to the other world, but that doesn't mean that he will be actively exposed to danger. It is true that with his strength, he doesn't need to worry too much, but his mother and sister must always be protected.
At least they cannot be exposed to the sight of a devil in human skin like a magician.
The birds hovering in the sky did not leave until night came.
Most of them even focused on Jiang Li's bungalow. At night, they stood around the house and looked at it motionless.
"This is totally being targeted."
After taking a bath, Jiang Li returned to his room and intuitively noticed the sense of surveillance coming from outside the house, and made a clear judgment in his heart.
However, fortunately, it was just being targeted.
If the other party has evil intentions, he should kill him directly now.
The reason why he hasn't taken action yet is because his identity hasn't been determined yet, or he's worried about something.
But what is certain is that such surveillance will probably continue for some time.
"This is not the way to go."
Jiang Li was thinking about a method.
Long-term surveillance is really too dangerous. Not to mention that it has already put his mother and sister in danger. Even he himself will be restricted if he wants to do anything in the future.
The person who was spying on him must be found.
But he has no knowledge of magic at all, and cannot find the magician behind it through his familiar. If he uses force, he may make the familiar self-destruct like last time. In the same way, charming the familiar is of no use. Instead, it will alarm the snake and expose himself.
"It would be great if Aozaki Aoko hadn't asked for leave."
Jiang Li sighed.
He actually planned to find Aoko Aozaki when he went to the student union yesterday, but unfortunately she seemed to have a cold and asked for leave, so he couldn't find anyone.
"Wait a minute, Aozaki...?"
It felt like a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind, and Jiang Li suddenly became enlightened.
"Isn't it possible that the woman I met in the dessert shop was Aozaki Orange? Could this be the beginning of the Demon Night plot?"
When he mentioned Aosaki, he suddenly thought of it.
He could not remember the plot of the original Demon Night at all. There was not even an animation, only a game, but he vaguely remembered what happened when Aozaki Aoko was in high school, and Aozaki Aoko happened to be a high school student now!
So, now should be the time for the two sisters to fight each other?
"Go and test it out tomorrow!"
Jiang Li made up his mind.
This is a good opportunity.
"Snapped!"
"Pop!"
Um?
A crackling sound came from the window, making Jiang Li's eyes freeze.
what happened?
With the thought that he could not blame me for coming out to check the situation even if he made a sound, Jiang Li came to the window and opened the curtains.
In the dark night.
Several familiar black birds have disappeared without knowing when.
With Jiang Li's eyesight, he could barely see some black spots on the telephone pole not far away.
Soon.
Other foreign objects entered his eyes.
First there is a bird.
Different from those black birds, it was a bird with a metallic luster that reflected the white moonlight. It hovered under the night sky, and its eyes exuded a crystal-like luster, which seemed unusually inconsistent under the moonlight night.
But its presence is not strong.
What is truly terrifying is the male figure standing at the end of the alley, looking like a dark walker.
His whole body was wrapped in a pitch-black coat, and he even wore a bowler hat on his head, making it difficult to see his figure clearly.
It seems that he noticed that the curtains were opened.
The man raised his head.
A moment.
Two scarlet crescent moons appeared in Jiang Li's eyes.
