Chapter 422 I Won’t Let You Listen

Mei quietly sat in the back seat of the car, remembering that more than a month ago, when Mikael brought Xier back that afternoon, she was also left alone in the car.

At that time, she was full of fear and uneasiness. She knew that Xiao Hei, as a mecha, was capable of protecting herself, and she kept reminding herself that Mikael was trustworthy, but she was inexplicably afraid at that time.

However, it won't happen now, although strictly speaking, nothing has happened in the past month. Mei's life seems to be back on track, without any waves, so calm that she even forgot about her father for a while...

But when Mikael left her alone in the car again more than a month later, she would no longer feel fear or uneasiness.

She believed in Mikael, believed in everything he did, and was grateful for everything he did, especially today... and these did not need to be constantly reminded in her mouth and heart.

"Maybe... it's not impossible to continue like this in the future."

This idea has come to her mind before. She relies on Mikael and cherishes the relationship between her and Mikael, who is both a teacher and a friend, a brother and a father, but she always feels that it is a bit strange to put him and her father together.

But now, she doesn't know why she began to imagine that after her father was released from prison, he and Kiana, Bronya and Seele would form a big family and live together again.

Maybe it was because of her father's performance today. After understanding her current situation at the beginning, most of his questions were directed at Mikael.

In fact, this is not a good signal. If such excessive inquiries are not out of concern for Mikael, then they can only be out of worry about him. But it doesn't matter. Mei believes that as long as her father knows that all her peaceful life now is thanks to Mikael, then his current distrust will naturally disappear. Perhaps, he can accept Mikael, and accept Kiana, Bronya and Seele at the same time, right?

For a while, she was completely immersed in her fantasy.

"Um, can you open the window, Hei-chan?"

The doors and windows of the car were all closed, but Mei was so happy and excited that her breathing was a little rapid. The closed car environment made her feel dull and unbearable.

"Click--"

After all, it was a relatively low-level artificial intelligence. Hei-chan would not give a verbal response like a nagging guy, but after the voice authentication and facial recognition were passed, it directly lowered the window next to Mei-chan by half under the program.

The height of the window was lowered enough for Mei-chan to see the night view outside clearly, but the remaining height was enough to cover the lower half of her face. Although for those who are really "careful", just looking at this black car can also recognize her identity...

But Mikael had already thought of this possibility...

Mei gently stroked the edge of the car window with her hand. The alley was very narrow, but Mikael still parked the car diagonally with his superb skills... Well, it was with the smart parking skills of the black car, so after Mei opened the window of the back seat, she could also quietly look at the colorful lights outside through the narrow alley. For a while, there was no other feeling except peace of mind.

She somewhat understood why she relied on Mikael. He could always predict all the good and bad situations before her. When she foolishly realized the danger, she found that Mikael had already arranged everything. And not only the danger, but also her various little emotions, he could take care of everything... Most importantly, she didn't have to worry about Mikael in turn, because in her impression, Mikael could do everything, and no difficulty could stump him.

This is completely different from being with Kiana, Bronya, and Seele. When she is with these girls of the same age, or to be more precise, younger than her, she always unconsciously worries about whether this one is not full or that one is not sleeping well... Especially a certain idiot.

So, it is not surprising that she relies on Mikael. After all, the feeling of being relaxed and not having to think about anything, just being in a daze, smiling, happy, and even sleeping, is something that only Mikael can bring her since she was a child...

No, there is actually another person, another person who can also give her this feeling, but he was too busy in the past, and when he occasionally took time out, he always put on a stern look.

Now when I think back to every little bit with my father, the most thought-about and happiest scene is the time when I was practicing swordsmanship with the "Sword Saint of Hom" at the Hom Sword Dojo...

But... it's good now, isn't it? She has two fathers now! Although both guys are busy, at least most of the time, there is always someone who can accompany her and give her the fatherly love she has been longing for since she was a child, isn't it?

Mei laughed foolishly, and she even thought of many more wonderful endings. For example, after her father suffered this blow, would he be a little discouraged after being released from prison, and no longer pay so much attention to ME Club, and spend more time on her?

But then she couldn't laugh anymore, and she thought of another one - after her father was released from prison, Mikael would complete the agreement with her father and would not leave, right?

With his personality, it is not impossible, on the contrary, it is very likely.

So Mei suddenly became worried again.

As for whether her father could be released from prison, since Mikael had already taken action, what else did she have to worry about?

"Shh!"

"who?"

The sudden laughter startled her, and she immediately glanced around. No one was inside or outside the car, and Xiao Hei's defense mechanism was not in effect.

"It's impossible, it was clear just now..."

She did hear a sneer just now. The sound sounded a bit like Mebius, and could even be said to be a deliberate imitation. Because of this, Mei did not think that she was hallucinating.

But the fact is that under Xiao Hei's radar system, she had to admit that there was indeed no one around.

"Is it really that I'm hallucinating?"

Meiyi rubbed her temples vigorously.

"It's impossible! The past two weeks have been vacations. In addition to cooking, Xi'er usually does all the housework. She's not too tired. How could she be hearing hallucinations?"

Only then did Mei smooth her eyebrows with her fingers, and then her brows wrinkled unconsciously.

"Forget it, just think it's an auditory hallucination."

Maybe it was a stray cat passing by? Anyway, Xiao Hei's lightning didn't detect any humans nearby, so naturally there was no danger.

Meiyi was in a good mood, and naturally she didn't want to be troubled by such inexplicable things.

"It's just...Mikael has been gone for so long, why hasn't he come back?"

Mei Yi looked at the sky outside. It was still dusk when Mikael left her here, but now the sky was completely dark.

"Yes, there must be something very important to discuss between father and Mikael... If Mikael can bring his father out tonight... Sigh! Mei Yi, ah Mei, you dare to dream too much, right? !”

At the end, she couldn't help but imitate Kiana's tone and laugh at herself.

In fact, she also understood that Mikael also told her about this possibility——

"I'm sorry Mei, I never told you, but you should be able to tell that with my power, I can directly rescue Mr. Ryoma. Then if you are willing, I can also find a way to arrange a place where no one will disturb you. A place where you can live in peace and contentment for the rest of your life...but I don’t plan to do that.”

"Why... uh, Mikael, I didn't mean that, it was... uh... just why... no, it was... for what reason?"

"Because I don't want you to reunite in this way - I mean, you deserve a better ending. Cleanse all your sins, and then live in this familiar world with dignity, do you understand?"

…………

"Um!"

Mei leaned on the back seat. Although Mikael was not around, she was still immersed in memories and nodded heavily. She made an agreement with Mikael, so even if she wanted to rescue her father now, she had to be patient.

"drop--"

Xiao Hei's alarm sound was a bit harsh, but it immediately brought Mei Yi out of her emotions.

"Someone is coming!"

Meiyi was startled, and just as she was about to close the car window in confusion, she saw a flash of red, which was still dazzling even in the dark night, panicking into the alley here.

Seeing a car parked diagonally in such a narrow alley, almost blocking the entire road, the person paused, but she seemed to have no other choice. After a brief hesitation, she held her upper body with one hand. Wearing a leather jacket, she lifted up the hem of her white dress with her other hand, and started running on her high heels.

"Active defense mode activated."

"Hey - wait a minute, Xiao Hei -"

After all, Mei Yi opened her mouth a step too late. Just when the man took off and was about to jump over Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei's front door suddenly flipped upwards, just like a big black man suddenly jumped out, and he prepared to take off with a handful of handsome men. Slam dunk...ah, it's not the hurdle woman covering it.

"Oh! Are you okay?"

Mei Yi turned off Xiao Hei's active defense mode and got out of the car to check the man's injuries. Unexpectedly, the man hugged her back, pushed her against the wall, and covered her roughly with his hands. mouth.

"Shh! Don't make a sound! Don't make a sound!"

Mei Yi was a little panicked when she was suddenly hit, and she almost vomited when she smelled the strong smell of alcohol on the person's breath. But when she heard her unabashed plea, Mei Yi's heart stabilized.

She squinted her eyes, and although she couldn't see the lower half of her face, as expected, it was an awkward yet polite smile.

She raised her index finger and pointed behind the red-haired woman. The woman turned her head curiously and saw that Xiao Hei's rearview mirror had disappeared, replaced by a black muzzle, pointing directly at the back of her head. .

Mei Yi has indeed turned off Xiao Hei's active defense system, but there is still a passive one!

"What kind of car is this? Is it so high-end?"

Of course it's not that Jizi has never seen a tactical mecha, but she didn't expect that any car she encountered on the roadside could be a mecha!

Then who is the girl in front of me? Ordinary people don't have access to this kind of thing, could it be...

"Shhh! I'm sorry, can you do me a favor?"

Himeko begged in a breathy voice, and the hand covering Mei's mouth loosened.

At this time, Mei Yi's brain, which had not been working at high speed for a long time, finally started to operate at full power. In just two or three seconds, she had already figured out the complete story line——

On a dark night (it didn't seem to be very dark yet), a tall woman (it's hard to say she's pretty because I can't see her features clearly) went to the hotel to complete the assassination mission (she wouldn't wear such a gorgeous dress and spray perfume when she went to the bar to drink), and when she was about to evacuate, she aroused the enemy's suspicion (it could also be that the teammate who was scheduled to pick her up never showed up), so she hid here...

She was immersed in her own fantasy, but heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the alley.

It was a bit unreasonable to say that it was not the dead of night, and the surrounding sounds were extremely noisy, with vehicles and people coming and going, and the winter night wind was sobbing as usual, blowing a lot of dry shrubs and branches like convulsions. Especially for Meiyi, since "that day", she could even clearly hear the whispers of passers-by a hundred meters away. Under such a complex sound interference, the footsteps nearby should have been diluted.

But Mei heard it, and not only heard it, but also easily caught the anxiety in the footsteps. Is the pursuer coming! ?

The reaction of the woman in front of her also proved this point. She almost completely ignored the muzzle of the gun pointed at the back of her head, pressed Mei's shoulder hard, and begged again:

"Please, let me hide!"

"I..."

Mei had been gradually relaxing, but being forced by the woman in front of her, she became nervous and hesitant, and for a while she couldn't even make a sound in her throat.

"Damn... Oh, sorry, trouble you..."

Jizi knew that she probably scared the girl in front of her, but the "pursuer" behind her... Haha, it wasn't a big deal, it was just annoying.

"Forget it, go back to the car and sit... Hey!"

Just when she accepted her fate, a force suddenly came from behind, sucking her and Mei to the back seat of Xiaohei.

Then, the car door closed gently without making a sound.

A well-dressed man soon walked into the alley. Seeing Xiao Hei blocking the road, he spat and leaned on the car window to try to see if there was anyone in the car. However, Xiao Hei's glass was only one-sided and transparent, so he couldn't see anything. He turned around again and finally turned around and left unwillingly.

"Tsk! What a handsome little white face, where did you provoke him?"

The man in the driver's seat had an extremely unstable breath, as if he was trying hard to hold back his laughter!

"You're back!"

Mei suddenly jumped up from her seat, but was pushed back to her seat by Mikael's index finger that poked her backhand.

"Let's talk about your business later. Let me interview our beautiful Miss Himeko first. What's wrong with you? Are you on the road again to invite people on a date? Why are you hiding everywhere?"

"Eh? You know each other...eh? Date? Invite people on a date? What do you mean..."

"Uh...cough cough cough! This...can I not tell you?"

Himeko really didn't expect the world to be so small. The fear of social death suddenly surged in her heart. She covered her face sadly.

"Oh--"

Mikael deliberately dragged the tail sound for a long time, but turned his head to ask Mei's opinion:

"Do you want to hear it?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, I won't let you hear it."

"?"

I wanted to write a longer chapter, but the location of this chapter is so good that I can't help it...
