After we had escaped from the hall, I patted on my chest and said with my heart still fluttering with fear,

“Gosh, that was so scary . . . ”

Yu Hui, having shown up beside me, helped me up and said,

“Yeah, that’s what an enchanting demon in big demon level should look like . Her imposing manner is already enough to threaten us . ”

“I was almost scared to death . The sword was so close to me . ” Actually I knew that Princ.i.p.al Nana might have controlled the sword to stop there on purpose due to the contract she had signed with me . After all, she was not able to do anything harmful to me . I guessed she might be punished fiercely by having made an attacking posture to me .

Now come to think about it, even if I hadn’t employed my first ability, I wouldn’t get hurt .

“Master Jun Cheng, I saw your being very quick on your movements . You have even reacted before I did . Have you employed some special kind of ability?”

“Yes, it’s a new kind of ability which replaced the enchanting ability . I call it ‘Accelerating Mind . ’ Since the only thing I am better than others is my mental power, I then decided to fully develop my mental power . At last, I chose to make me think faster . ” I had used that ability for the first time just now . And I had felt like I had pushed a slowdown b.u.t.ton on the whole world .

The time had been more than ten times longer than before . I had seen everyone moving in slow motion . Also, the speed of the sword had seemed very slow to me . That was why I had been able to react ‘in time’ and jumped backward .

However, though I could think faster than before, my body reaction still hadn’t been improved . . . That was very awkward .

In other words, this ability was not that kick-a.s.s . Also, it only had a slight effect to the reality and could buy me some time to react or think of a way to get away .

The most embarra.s.sing thing was that if someone attacked me fast enough to make me unable to dodge, I could only see myself being attacked slowly by that person after using the ‘Accelerating Mind’ ability . . . So, I was able to observe how I died in a perfect spot . . . Well, I also came up with another name for this ability, which called, ‘Hold on for a second longer . ’

Hmm, anyway, this ability could help me stall the time of my death . Then I would be able to recall my life before dying .

Unfortunately, it wouldn’t help me write down my last words (Ha) .

Nevertheless, if my mental power really is strong enough, I might be able to make the whole world be in a motionless state . . . At that time, I could do lots of things as long as I could think of a way to let myself move .

I hadn’t just noticed the details which I wouldn’t have noticed before . I had also realized what Steward Steve had done behind me . I had even heard of Miss Yang’s self-talking . And when all the information had rushed to my brain, I didn’t have a chaotic feeling at all .

When I had left my dream, Nana had said that she would present me a gift . I thought she meant for this mental power .

After we had signed the contract, I had also shared part of her mental power, which meant I had made a huge progress in increasing my own mental power .

Suddenly I kind of expected what effects my other two abilities would do . After all, my other two abilities were also closely linked to my mental power . So I was really looking forward to their effects .

I should find a chance to try them .

“Next I should see the organization in the Black Street . . . Ah, d.a.m.n it, our ‘tour guide’ is still inside of the hall . ”

“You’re looking for me?”

“Wow!” Why did you come and go like a shadow too!

Cla.s.smate Li Nai stood beside me with a smile while eating a chocolate bar .

I asked her with my eyes squinted,

“Where are you come from . . . ”

“Huh? Oh my, is my sense of presence so low? I have just followed you out, little transparent guy . You’ve seen how scary our princ.i.p.al has become . If I still stay there, I might suffer too~”

“That’s right, what about Xun’er?”

“She’s still inside of the hall . We need someone to bear Princ.i.p.al Nana’s anger~ Ah ha ha ha ha~”

“You just betrayed her like that?!”

“Of course! That’s what good friends for!”

“This is the first time I heard someone defining good friends like that . . . ” How tragic it is to be your good friend!

“Hey, stop caring about small things like that~ Next, let me take you to visit our sixth office~ It’s been a long time we haven’t had new members . Now we have two! We are gonna get so busy!”

“Two?” Could it be . . . I turned around and asked Yu Hui,

“Yu Hui, did you also join the organization?” Yu Hui nodded and answered,

“Yes, before you woke up, I had already joined the organization . When I tried to find you in the Black Street, I owed the organization a favor at that time . To return this favor, I decided to join them . ”

“I see . ” I wasn’t too surprised . Since I had already joined the organization, Yu Hui would definitely follow my step if she wanted to be with me .

However, even though the Enchanting Ritual had already gone, the color of her t.i.tle was still blue mixed with a little pink . . . Was it possible that Nana had spoken out the truth? None of the girls would leave me . . . “But you don’t have to join too . Even if you rejected them, I would protect you to leave . ”

“Well, since I have already said yes, it’s already too late to regret . Also, it may be a good chance for me . ” Not only was I able to solve my own problems, I might also be able to find a way to help Lian Bing . . . I always hoped that she could be a normal girl .

“Fine . ” Yu Hui agreed with all my decisions now, unlike before when she had only wanted to make sure of my safety and neglected my own opinions completely .

This meant she had already totally trusted me .

At this moment, Li Nai who had finished eating her chocolate bar licked her thumb and index finger . Then she said in high spirit,

“All right! Let’s go! Ah, that’s right, I should give you the authority to enter the Black Street . Come here, little transparent guy, let me pat on your shoulders . ”

“There’s no need to do that, I have already presented the authority to Master Jun Cheng . ”

“Huh? Eh, that’s not so adorable, Junior Bai, give me a chance to show off~”

“Please respect yourself, Senior Li . ”

“Just call me Nai Nai~ Alas, forget about it . Let’s go . There is an entrance to the Black Street in this manor . ”

“Wait, is it OK to leave Xun’er and Miss Yang there?”

“They’ll be fine . They would only be OO and XX and then XOXO . They are already used to that~”

“ . . . ” I only got more anxious hearing that .

But we couldn’t offer any help anyway . So at last I still left with a little sense of guilt .

After we had followed Li Nai out of the manor, we walked on the little path in the garden . As we were about to get out, I found Steward Steve had already wait for us by the exit .  

Was he able to teleport himself too?!

“I’m here to pa.s.s the message for the leader . She asked me to tell you that if you have anything to ask her, you could call her full name before you go to sleep . That’s all . ”

“Oh, I see . ” That should be the way to meet her in my dream .

After sending the message to me, the old steward made an obeisance to me and went back to the building .

Yu Hui and Li Nai didn’t ask too much . After that, we stepped into the entrance in the garden . It was just like the last time I had entered into the Black Street, everything went black all of a sudden and the scene in front my eyes changed right away .

Li Nai led us in the front and introduced,

“Black Street is the main stronghold of the organization . This place leads to every corner of the city . There are also some special ‘spots’ that could transport you to somewhere further . But normally we wouldn’t put those spots into use . ” “Those people who are wearing ordinary clothes are all the actors of the ‘opera troupe’ . And the ones in black suit are members of each department . It’s very easy to distinguish them, right?”

“Black suit . . . So I have to wear that too?”

“No, you don’t have to . Sometimes the members of the our department need to sneak into some places to do the investigation . So we don’t have any dress code . ”

“Sneak into places to do the investigation?”

“Yeah, I do those kinds of things all the time, such as sneaking into places, making an undercover investigation or exploring the new world~”

“Eh, is it really OK to do those things?” Those jobs all sounded very dangerous . But why did she look so happy . . . Hearing my words, Li Nai said with a carefree smile,

“Ha ha ha ha~ Little transparent guy, are you worried about me? It’s fine, I am a zombie! I have already died once, I won’t die again unless I get shot in the head . Ah ha ha~”

“So that’s what it is . . . What can I say, you really are very ‘free’ . ” To put it mildly, she was an uninhibited person . But to tell the truth, I only felt her insensitive .

“People will obtain more and more freedom as their ages grow~”

“You mean you are very old?”

“Hey~ That’s very rude! I have only died for five years . So I am still a fresh corpse!”

“Fresh corpse . . . ”

“Yeah, see, I haven’t got any cadaveric ecchymoses yet! And my skin is still tender and soft~”

“Ha ha ha ha . . . ” Seeing her poking her face with her fingers and opening her eyes wildly to act cute, I could only laugh without any comments .

When we walked across the Black Street, lots of people greeted Li Nai . It seemed that she was quite famous on the street .

Meanwhile, Li Nai introduced every place we had arrived like a tour guide . However, mostly she only told us the meaningless things like how delicious the Plate Burning Barbecued Pork of this restaurant was .

After a while, Yu Hui suddenly asked,

“Doesn’t the organization have other names? The name ‘organization’ sounds too general . ”

“Ah, that, yes, it does!”

“Aye? Really, is it called the Maffia?” Or Man in Black?

“Well, Maffia sounds great . But no, we call us soblefoble, SF for short . This is also the unique name of the branch of the Northeast Asia . It is also our symbol . The two letters ‘SF’ are also engraved in our badge . I’ll distribute one badge to you after a short while . ”

“Sounds very stylish . . . ”

“Of course! We have our own motto too! That is . . . ” As Li Nai’s voice gradually raised up, the pa.s.sengers on the street also stopped and fixed their eyes on us .

Ehhhh, what were they going to do?

My question was answered at once .

“Violence must be met with violence!” The actors raised their hands and roared that, with their voices resounding through the whole street!”

“Murder must be stopped by murder!” The people in black suit who wore black sungla.s.ses walked out of every building and shouted that .

“Darkness must be defeat by darkness!”

At last, Li Nai who walked ahead of me turned around and waved her hand with a trusting manner and said that valiantly .

“Evils must be punished by evils!” Everyone was wearing . . . smiles on their faces when saying that . I meant, very vicious smile .

Even I was influenced by them . The corner of my mouth couldn’t help but curve . But that was more like a wry smile . . . Their motto sounded too unreasonable . . . Suddenly, I felt like I had entered into a wolf’s cave .

Come on, had I just joined the forces of darkness?!
