Chapter 1078 The lingering ghost

"Is there anything you want to eat?"

Amethyst looked at the time. It was eight o'clock in the evening and time for dinner.

"Do you still want to go out? It's okay to skip a meal. Just don't be discovered before the support arrives." Yae Rin was still a little nervous. She didn't want to experience the feeling of being pressed to the ground again.

"You have to eat, and grow up while you are young... I'm talking about myself. After all, Miss Lin, you may be an old woman in age?" Zijing put on a coat, a hat and a mask to cover her conspicuous white hair and face.

“Heh, you make it sound like you can still grow taller…” Yae Rin narrowed her eyes at him.

"At least I'm young. Maybe I can get a chance at a miracle." Zijing took out another pair of sunglasses, put them on her face and looked in the mirror.

"..."

Yae Rin's expression turned ferocious, but before she could make a move, Zijing said, "If you didn't tell me, I would have just given it to you!", then ran out and closed the door.

Yae Rin sat on the bed angrily holding the fox doll. After thinking for a while, she grabbed the pillow and punched it.

……

"what to eat?"

Zijing walked on the street. At eight o'clock in the evening, the streets of the town were illuminated by soft street lights, and the dim light cast mottled shadows on the ground. Most of the shops on both sides of the street were closed, and only a few restaurants and cafes still had warm lights on.

Zijing entered the restaurant and looked around casually. If she didn't find anything she liked, she decided to run to a farther place to look.

I don’t know if those two anti-entropy guys are still there, and whether they have succeeded... I hope they have succeeded, so that I don’t have to worry about even eating.

Up to now, I still don’t know what it is about Cecilia that attracts them?

Out of boredom, Zijing let her thoughts wander and came to the street next door, which was brightly lit with neon lights flashing colorful lights.

Zijing found an open-air restaurant, walked in and asked for a menu, scanning the restaurant, thinking about the flavors that Yae Rin might like.

"The chef of this restaurant is an old friend of mine. His dishes are very unique, especially the signature curry sausage and seafood pasta. I guarantee you will never forget their taste for half a month..."

A familiar voice came from her ears, and Zijing's hand holding the menu froze slightly. She looked over in disbelief, only to see Siegfried and Cecilia walking towards her again.

Is this town that small? Why does it always feel like I just ran into these two guys one day?

Also, the distance between them seems to have become closer...from close friends to young lovers?

It's developing very fast... No, that kind of thing is fine, can you please not bring the stalker behind you? It looks scary.

Zijing immediately saw Walter following behind the two men, still holding the newspaper as a cover. He had been following them like this for a whole day, but these two people didn't notice at all?

Walter glanced at the tightly wrapped purple crystal. From this angle, he could only see the side of the boy.

Fortunately, the other party did not doubt too much. He just took a glance and then paid attention to Siegfried and Cecilia again.

Zijing no longer felt the gaze, so he naturally ordered the food. Just as he was about to call the waiter, the chair next to him was pulled away, and the familiar blue-haired girl sat next to him.

"..."

Zijing pretended not to know him and didn't call the waiter. She continued to look at the menu without making a sound.

"Hello, Mr. Zijing, assistant to Bishop Tianming, are you sure you still want to pretend that you don't know me?"

The blue-haired girl spoke. She had been paying attention to Siegfried and Cecilia, and was also observing their surroundings. She immediately noticed Amethyst, who was wearing strange clothes. With her scientist's eyesight, she recognized her immediately.

"Dr. Anti-Entropy Einstein, if possible, please treat me as air. I have said before that I have no intention of interfering with your actions." Zijing spoke in a low voice. He felt Walter's gaze projected over him again. Obviously, the latter did not understand why his companion would take the initiative to approach a stranger.

"Did you say that?" Einstein asked.

"Didn't I tell you? Could it be that the person behind the drone isn't you?" Zijing was also a little stunned, thinking that her guess was wrong. Are there more than two people involved in the operation against entropy this time?

"Drone... I see. That's what you said at that time. Sorry, I didn't hear you. The noise was too loud, so I cut off the communication." Einstein said, calling the waiter over and asking for a menu.

"Aren't you going to follow those two people?"

Amethyst chatted with Einstein as if nothing had happened. Being able to sit together calmly meant that he and the two people from Anti-Entropy might not have to have a direct conflict again. This was good news. Looking at Walter's attitude before, I thought a fight was inevitable... Fortunately, this doctor was reasonable.

"They can't eat any faster than I can."

Einstein said calmly, "Besides, my companions are still watching, they can't run away."

The girl ordered two servings of the signature curry sausage, one for herself and the other for her companion.

"Let's eat together. Take-out will produce extra waste." Perhaps seeing that Amethyst wanted to leave as soon as possible, Einstein tried to keep her.

"What happens between you has nothing to do with me, right? Cecilia is your target, so don't hurt innocent people like us." After Amethyst finished speaking, Einstein took out a sealed small bag, placed it on the table, opened the seal, and revealed a transparent sphere inside.

"..."

"I found something very special in the hotel where you were accommodated. I wonder if you can give me some explanation?" Unexpectedly, Einstein was looking for Amethyst for another reason this time.

"What is this? Marbles?" Zijing frowned and looked at the small balls in the bag, pretending to be puzzled.

"A sphere created by Houkai. I have never seen it in the archives. It seems to have no characteristics, but it caused a subtle reaction in my companions... As a scientist, I am very interested in this unknown thing."

Einstein took out the sphere from the bag with his bare hands and played with it, then threw it into Zijing's hand, "Tell me, satisfying a scientist's curiosity is equivalent to saving her life... In exchange, I'll treat you to dinner, and Walter won't bother you in the future."

"…Is your life only worth a meal?"

"I have a free cafeteria voucher from Anti-Entropy. If you need it, I can give it to you."

"I am a man of destiny, and I use Anti-Entropy's cafeteria free coupons to eat...? If I am found out, the bishop will skin me alive in a minute."
