Chapter 847 [Chapter 4] 267
The moment she pronounced this extremely familiar name from her lips, the small screen on the side of the ball next to the light screen suddenly flickered and lit up, and the current time "10:00 AM" appeared on it. ", and then the number indicating the time went dark, and a countdown "09:59" jumped out on the small screen opposite to the other side.
Almost at the same time, through the half-open window, a burst of songs played by the loudspeaker in the atrium outside the window suddenly floated in!
The melody of that song was very cheerful, and instantly created a joyful and relaxed atmosphere inside and outside the building.Before Liu Quan came, he also did a little research on the latest news about the "Non-Real World Administration". most people's attention.
It is said that, unlike the retro, strict and stressful gloomy atmosphere of the previous "Government of Time", the newest "Unreal World Administration" is committed to creating a good working atmosphere. Not only is the headquarters building brightly decorated, There's plenty of light, and there's a host of employee benefits -- like a 15-minute coffee break every morning, starting at [-] a.m.
Once these measures were announced, they quickly won praise from everyone.Although everyone was shocked that the "Government of Time" was silently merged into this brand new institution and replaced by a new management, but not many people deeply missed those old bureaucrats.
Everyone said happily, "Sure enough, the new organization is more dynamic", and continued with their work - it was not at all expected that in an office in this newly decorated and dynamic building, a newly appointed big man would meet Emotionally commented on their "capacity space is limited, and some better talents should be recruited to replace them."
Of course, all this is just a flash of thought.After a short period of astonishment, Liu Quan tried his best to calm down his excited mood, tried his best to control his facial expressions, and looked directly at the light screen in front of him again, the familiar face that had surfaced in his heart countless times.
"...Senior Munakata, long time no see." She said in a whisper, with a trace of sigh in her tone.
After the initial shock, the Blue King seemed to have quickly regained his composure.A smile slowly appeared on his face, his elbows rested on the table, his hands crossed to support his chin, and he responded thoughtfully:
"...Mr. Xinya."
He sighed and called the name again, as if he had finally confirmed that the person on the other side of the screen was really her; the tails of his eyes hidden behind the pair of thin-rimmed glasses were slightly raised, and a smile floated on his brow .
"I was thinking...you should show up too." As soon as he opened his mouth, what he said surprised her a bit.
"Your passport is about to expire soon... But there is no news that you have submitted an application for renewal of your passport." He said seriously, "If your passport expires, you will become an illegal immigrant... It's a troubling thing whether or not you're going to be arrested."
Liu Quan couldn't help grinning and smiling.
"...The fourth sub-office of the Household Registration Division of the Tokyo Legal Affairs Bureau is actually managing matters related to household registration..." She couldn't help but half-jokingly complained.
However, because of these words, Munakata Reishi's face became more serious.
He was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "...Mr. Xinya, you really are paying attention to us... us."
Liu Quan was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that based on his setting of "going abroad after graduating from Chaowei Middle School and never coming back", if he hadn't paid special attention to his movements, he should be the head of the department now. The real scope of responsibilities of the Fourth Branch of the Household Registration Division of the Tokyo Legal Affairs Bureau is not fully understood.
But she didn't care too much if the setting collapsed—no, rather, she didn't want to deny the temptation in his words at all.
"Yes." She replied without hesitation.
"Of course I know what Munakata-senpai is doing now... In my opinion, you have become the most reliable pillar in this world—"
After a pause, she made up her mind to say this sentence.
"I'm also very proud of that."
As expected, there was a hint of surprise on Munakata Reishi's face.
However, Liu Quan didn't change his words, and he didn't turn his gaze away, just looking directly at his clear eyes behind his pair of thin-rimmed glasses through the screen.
...Yes, I am indeed proud.
I am proud to know you.
I am very proud to be infinitely close to your precious and shining heart at a certain moment.
I am so proud to be honored to have a place in your life at some point in your life.
Moreover, if he didn't still remember her and keep an eye on her news, how could he say "your passport is about to expire soon, but you didn't go anywhere to apply for renewal"?
... I am very proud to be cared for by you like this.
Liu Quan slowly raised his eyebrows, and smiled slightly towards the familiar and strongly nostalgic face in the light screen.
Seeing her smile, Reji Munakata's originally tense face slowly relaxed.In the end, he also hooked the corners of his lips, looking at her softly through the screen.
"Xinya," he said, there seemed to be a hint of hoarseness in his voice.
"It's a surprise to see you again...but it's good."
For some reason, Liu Quan heard a hint of thrilling emotion from that seemingly plain words.That indescribable emotion infected her in an instant, making her nose sore and her throat choked for no reason.
"Senior Munakata..." She didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only call him again in such a clumsy manner, as if he would understand how sad she was about leaving at the beginning, So excited for today's reunion.
Munakata Reiji hadn't spoken yet, suddenly, there was a bang on the screen—it was the sound of the door on his side being pushed open forcefully.
Immediately, a voice she was familiar with sounded.
"Director! An unknown signal suddenly cut into SCEPTER4's internal secret network just now! I found out that the unknown signal sent a communication request to your computer! Are you okay—"
Munakata Reiss paused for a moment, leaned back slightly, made a seemingly leisurely gesture, turned his eyes from the screen to the person coming, glanced at the person, and replied lightly: "Hey, everything is normal. Fushimi-kun, You don't need to worry about this matter, just put it aside. I will deal with it later."
"... Huh?!" The voice suddenly raised an octave, becoming full of resentment and suspicion.
"Master, what are you doing..."
Munakata Reishi smiled calmly.
"Accepting a very important video call." He said calmly.
Fushimi Saruhiko almost immediately and subconsciously turned his gaze to the projection projected in the air above the large desk in front of Munakata Reiji - precisely because it was a projection and there was no dark background behind it that could obscure the image , so if you look carefully, you should be able to identify who is appearing in the projection.
And the timing of the unknown signal cutting into the internal secret network of the chief’s office and sending out the communication request just coincided with the moment when the chief answered the phone—to sum up, Fushimi can almost immediately conclude that the person in the projection at this moment, The person who just cut off the most secret network inside SCEPTER4 with an unknown signal!
However, he still hasn't seen who that person is - after all, it's not his specialty to recognize faces in reverse, and there are heavy ghosting and graininess on the back of the projection, which makes it more difficult for him to identify - the result is Hearing the head of the room chuckle lightly, the ghostly speed in the laughter suddenly increased tenfold.
"Oh, Fushimi-kun, is it possible that you are very interested in my private affairs? This is really too bad. I didn't expect you to have such a perverted hobby." The head of the room commented slowly.
Liu Quan: "..."
From her point of view, Fushimi Saru Hiko seemed to be about to burst into blood vessels with anger from his unreliable boss.
"Tsk, count me as nosy." He complained in a low voice angrily. "No one is interested in your personal affairs, director, so I'll go do something else!"
Immediately, an unfriendly bang sounded louder than before, echoing in the room—as if Fushimi closed the door with a little effort.
Munakata Reishi glanced casually at the poor door, turned back to the light screen in front of him, and smiled.
"Fushimi-kun, you've been too angry lately. Shouldn't you let him take a cold shower~" He made a concluding remark, leaning forward again to get close to the entire virtual screen projected by his computer.
"Looks worse than when he was in 'Super Wei Middle School'." He said.
But Liu Quan didn't respond immediately.
She looked startled, staring over his shoulder at the wall behind him.
The movement of Munakata Reiji leaning forward just now revealed a part of the wall behind him that was originally blocked.What attracted Liu Quan's attention was a picture frame hanging there - a jigsaw puzzle that had already been put together was embedded in the picture frame.
"...Munakata-senpai, what is that...?" She stared straight at the puzzle in the frame and asked in a murmur.
Reiji Munakata understood immediately, he silently mouthed "Ah", but did not answer her question.
She didn't really need him to answer.Because she has seen the answer.
That jigsaw puzzle was given to him by her, and then they completed it together in the student union room of "Chaowei Middle School".
And now, the completed puzzle hangs on the wall behind his office.
Slowly she brought her eyes back to his face, and her eyes became clear and sad.
It turns out that the "study group formed to verify the content of third-rate love novels", in fact, there is still a little deep sincerity behind it, right? !
Maybe her expression really revealed too much emotion, Munakata Reji's eyes flickered slightly.Then, he actually showed a strange smile again.
"If you haven't forgotten...we still have one piece of the puzzle," he said.Then, after a subtle pause, he continued:
"...I hate unfinished business. It seems like I didn't succeed at something, and it makes people worry..."
Liu Quan:? !
Seeing her eyes widen, the smile on the corner of his lips suddenly became clearer.
"...So, when you come back, come to me and complete that puzzle. This is a responsibility you must shoulder. Please face it squarely and complete it properly."
