The Grim Reaper watched this scene quietly from a distance, with his arms raised. Even though his exposed face looked human-like, his black and white arms and his slender dark fingertips still revealed his essence hidden beneath his skin.

As he spread out his palms and then tightened them again, the flow rate of the surrounding space seemed to change again.

When the world became quiet and not even the sound of breathing could be heard, he silently lowered his arms.

The Grim Reaper's eyes were slightly drooped and he showed no emotion. He floated to the side of Jie Shuyi, his body spinning in the air, his face just hanging right above Jie Shuyi's face.

[Foolish human, are you going to kick me away after you’ve used me? ]

From Jie Shuyi's perspective, time seemed to have continued to move, but in fact, the only one who could act this time was the Grim Reaper.

There was no expression on the face of the Grim Reaper. He was considering whether to take away Jie Shuyi's life, soul and the Death Note.

According to the rules, although it was not Xie Shuyi who actively woke me up, but...

It seems that he has stayed in this world for too long. The god of death does not want to cause any trouble, and is even less willing to be completely bound here.

The slender, dark fingertips gently touched Jie Shuyi's brow. As he hesitated, an inexplicable gust of wind blew up his hair.

Death raised his head blankly and looked in the other direction of the sea.

The breath he felt before was not an illusion, because at this moment the two powerful forces were rapidly approaching the direction of the god of death.

After realizing that the other party had no hostility, the Grim Reaper did not express his position first.

He just stood there quietly, waiting for the two people opposite to arrive.

From the moment they became gods, each god performed his own duties and shouldered different responsibilities.

They must do their job to the best of their ability and only in rare cases do they need to deal with other gods.

He is the god of death who controls the life and death of mankind.

I hate dealing with these angels who grow up in the sun.

Until two figures appeared in front of him, the Grim Reaper looked at the two people, one big and one small, standing in front of him and raised his chin slightly.

【Why are you here? 】

Qiao Xi said in a cold voice, "Thanatos, you have been away from your post for many years. Because of your negligence, the Death Note fell into the hands of humans, disturbing the world consciousness and disrupting its original world line. Come back to the Judgment Bureau with us. Mother has been waiting for a long time."

Ye Xun just stood beside Qiao Xi from beginning to end. He didn't say anything, but his eyes were fixed on Jie Shuyi on the ground without blinking.

Looking at the other person's clothes that were soaked with blood and had not yet dried, he frowned slightly, but still chose to remain silent.

Death looked at the two people opposite him. His memory was too blurry. They were colleagues he hadn't seen for a long time, so he couldn't recognize them at all.

But when he saw that the other party could successfully transform into a human body, unlike himself who was at the intersection of the two, he knew that the strength of the newcomer was more than a hundred times his.

[My Death Note is lost. A certain human in this small world is also allowed to obtain the Death Note. I have made a deal with him. When he uses the Death Note again to use the power of the God of Death, his note will belong to me. I will take his soul away and return to work at the headquarters.]

Qiao Xi was instantly speechless when she heard this. She glanced at Thanatos's expression several times, and after confirming that he was not deliberately acting, she couldn't help but smack her lips.

"Do you really think so?"

Death licked his lips and nodded obediently.

Qiao Xi looked down at Ye Xun, her eyes full of disbelief.

"I thought he wanted to skip work and stayed in this world. He didn't really think that the Death Note in Xie Shuyi's hand belonged to Xie Shuyi and not to him, did he? "

'Thanatos is one of the weakest gods of death in the underworld. They are cheap laborers drawn out after humans are given the will of the gods of death. Most of those who were chosen by the previous gods are simple.'

Qiao Xi raised her head and glanced at Thanatos, with a forced smile on her lips.

simple?

'Then should we still take him with us? Theoretically, if we bring him back to the headquarters, it also means that the Death Note must be taken back. Xie Shuyi has a soul deal with the God of Death, and he will die... He will definitely die.'

After listening to the voice from the depths of his soul, Ye Xun finally raised his head.

"The rejection reaction of this world is already very serious. You and your notes can only stay here for another month at most."

Death shook his head.

【I can go with you now. 】

His fingertips pointed at Jie Shuyi who was lying on the ground.

[Just wait a moment, I'll kill him. ]

Ye Xun flashed in front of Jie Shuyi with a death-speed step, "One month."

The boy's gentle voice contained a warning that could not be refused.

Death was a little confused.

It was clearly him who gave the order for me to leave, but now he is also the one who is stopping me from leaving.

He withdrew his raised hand.

【it is good. 】

Ye Xun licked his lips subconsciously, as if realizing that his behavior was too rash. He restrained his emotions and his voice became hoarse.

"Since we have reached a contract with humans, we must abide by it. Do not bring your karma to the headquarters."

Death didn't understand what he was saying, but nodded obediently.

The terrifying claws were hidden back under his robes. He hung in the air, with half of his body curled up like a doll.

[This world has been paused for too long, time needs to flow again. 】

Ye Xun retreated to Qiao Xi's side.

"We'll see you soon."

The Grim Reaper watched the two men leave. He still bent his body in a hugging posture. He had no legs, but he liked to make this pose.

This made him feel that his body was healthy.

He floated above Shuyi again. The distance was so close that he could clearly see the curve of the boy's mouth and his obviously drooping eyes.

Instead of reaching out to touch her, he moved his face closer.

When the cold face touched the boy's warm skin, the eyes of the Grim Reaper clearly did not show any emotion, but he stood up quickly in panic.

Having harvested so many souls and seen so many deaths, he almost forgot that the human body is hot.

The Grim Reaper closed his eyes, opened his arms, and tried to show the same expression as Jie Shuyi on his face, but ultimately failed.

The moment he leaned over, he hugged the boy's body tightly. A powerful force burst out from the spot, and in a breath, he had hidden again in the depths of Jie Shuyi's soul.

[Cunning human, you have one more month to live. ]

When time flowed again, Xie Shuyi suddenly opened his eyes and felt a chill on his cheek. He raised his hand to touch it but felt nothing.

The strangeness at that moment seemed like an illusion.

The sound of waves lapping against the shore was in his ears, and the smell of blood was still strong in the air. The only difference from before was that Xie Shuyi had now recovered his supernatural powers.

He stood up, and Nikolai looked surprised.

"You seem to..." His eyes narrowed slightly, "You have suddenly undergone a drastic change."

The changes in Xie Shuyi's temperament and eyes were so obvious that it was difficult for Nikolai to ignore them.

His eyes glanced at Sigma who was slumped on the side, and an idea instantly came to his mind.

He wanted to know what had changed in Jie Shuyi?

"Congratulations, it looks like your powers have been restored."

Xie Shuyi said, "I will consider your request for cooperation, but as you said, I have to go find other people from the detective agency right now."

He seemed to be in a hurry to leave. That's right, since Xie Shuyi saw everything he knew about Sigma, he already knew who Shenwei was.

Whose hands are the pages of the book in?

In order to prevent the detective agency from getting into trouble, of course he would be anxious.

"There's one thing I don't understand."

Xie Shuyi did not stop while leaving, as he did not want to fight with Nikolai.

First of all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and he still needs Nikolai to kill Fyodor.

Secondly, if he fought with Nikolai, he could not guarantee victory.

"The people in the detective agency need Sigma to be alive because they need witnesses to prove their innocence." Nikolai's voice was melodious enough for both people present to hear clearly.

"What I don't understand is that all you want is for Sigma to be alive, but why is he safe and sound after the fall? And you are covered in scars?"

Rather than being cruel with words, Nikolai prefers to judge a person by his actions.

"Do you feel any sympathy for the culprit who framed the detective agency?"

After hearing this, Xie Shuyi finally turned around and said, "Everything I did was just to gain his trust, so that when he was betrayed, he would be angry enough to use his supernatural power on me."

Sigma dragged his tired body to his feet, "You did all that just to provoke me?"

Xie Shuyi said calmly, "Haven't you already seen my memory?"

The boy's question made Sigma's breathing pause.

Yes, he has already seen the whole picture of the matter. What is supporting him to retain his trust in Jie Shuyi and making him hesitate between the two?

Xie Shuyi took a half step back and said, "Thank you for the information you provided."

He walked away in a very cool manner, and the other two did not try to stop him.

Nikolai walked up to Sigma and surprisingly did not see much anger in the latter's eyes, but rather some more complicated emotions.

He twirled the scepter in his hand and looked at Jie Shuyi's departing back.

What an interesting person!

When Xie Shuyi walked from the beach to the city, it was already dark. Thanks to the dim lights, his blood-stained clothes did not attract much attention.

He picked a service shop at random and turned into it.

The blood mixed with sand became dark and solidified on his cheeks. Even though the smell of blood on his body was very strong, the residents could not see his face clearly and could not tell that he was a wanted criminal.

As Halloween happened to be approaching, the clerk thought he was just a kid in cosplay and glanced at him before looking away.

Theirs is a high-end luxury brand, and if the kid really is playing tricks, he can't afford it, so he naturally has no intention of entertaining him.

This actually gave Shuyi an opportunity to quietly choose clothes.

Just as he raised his hand to pick up a white sweatshirt with a strawberry bear printed on it, a hand slapped his wrist away.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Don't touch my clothes with your dirty hands. Can you afford it?"

The woman who suddenly appeared in front of him was the clerk who had ignored Jie Shuyiai before.

Her fingertips with red nail polish almost poked into Jie Shuyi's eyes, and the latter subconsciously took a step back.

"how much is this shirt?"

The clerk rolled his eyes with disdain, "1w."

Of course, the dress wasn't that expensive; she had deliberately bid a higher price in order to see the girl's embarrassed expression.

Instead of learning good things, they just learn these messy things that affect other people's business. These kids should be arrested.

Xie Shuyi didn't react when he heard the price, "I want to try it."

"What is it? You are covered in dirt. Your clothes will get dirty if you touch them!" The woman screamed even louder. She even raised her hand to push Jie Shuyi and tried to drive him out.

It was rare to feel such strong malice. Xie Shuyi tried hard to recall for a long time and found that he didn't know the woman in front of him at all.

"I have money." He pointed to a pair of black pants behind the woman, "I'll buy the whole outfit. How much?"

The woman looked at him as if he were a fool. "What's wrong? Go, go, go, go, go."

Xie Shuyi was really annoyed by being pushed around, so he pulled out a gun from his tattered pocket and pointed it at the woman's head.

"I can swipe my card or I can shoot, which one do you choose?"

The mocking expression on the woman's face suddenly froze, but she quickly recovered and thought that what Jie Shuyi was holding was a toy.

When she raised her hand to snatch it away, Jie Shuyi pulled the trigger.

The bullet pierced her finger. She felt a slight numbness at first, and then a brief moment of daze, followed by tremendous pain.

The gunshots attracted the attention of other customers in the store. When they found that someone was holding a gun and injuring someone, they all ran out screaming.

Jie Shuyi ignored the woman rolling on the ground in pain. He took the clothes into the fitting room, wiped the blood stains on his body bit by bit with a wet wipe, and then put on new clothes.

Looking at himself in the full-length mirror, quiet and well-behaved, Xie Shuyi was obviously very satisfied. He picked up a pair of transparent round-frame glasses and put them on his face, making his elegant temperament more obvious.

No matter how you look at it, she's just an ordinary lady.

He cut off the tag and walked skillfully to the cash register, where the cashier had already been scared away.

He scanned the barcode himself and took out his bank card from his pocket.

Before paying the bill and leaving, he took a bottle of drink from the store.

Looking at the small glass bead in the glass bottle, he subconsciously shook it lightly, listening to the crisp sound, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curled up.

He remembered that Ranpo liked this drink the most.

The canvas shoes stained dark red by blood already exuded a sense of weirdness. Now, when they stepped past the woman, the row of conspicuous footprints on the ground were really scary.

Listen to the automatic announcement of "Welcome next time" on the gate above your head.

Xie Shuyi took out the mobile phone he had prepared in advance from a mailbox not far from the store door.

Slide the screen and open the page.

The phone rang for three seconds and was quickly picked up.

Hearing the voice coming from the other side, Xie Shuyi's steps became noticeably cheerful.
