My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

"...By the way, some restaurants should have Wi-Fi, right?" Leng Yihan thought, searching for the familiar Golden Arches logo on the street.

As the saying goes, perseverance pays off. After turning a corner with the flow of people, Leng Yihan found the familiar McDonald's.

"Huh... Sometimes I feel like Japan and China aren't that different..." After spending more than ten minutes ordering her food and finding a seat, Leng Yihan turned on her phone and discovered that it was password protected.

"What's my phone password? It's the same, right?" Leng Yihan entered the password she remembered and unlocked the phone successfully.

Connect to Wi-Fi, log in to Google Maps, and get your location!

Okay, guess failed. This is Osaka, far from Akihabara. Your face has been slapped.

Leng Yihan turned off her phone and silently started eating her hamburger.

A dozen minutes later, Leng Yihan was wandering aimlessly through the streets again, but this time she was on her way back to the hotel.

"Why did I come to Osaka..." Leng Yihan muttered to herself as she silently returned to the hotel.

"Big brother...is that the kid?"

"It seems so. There aren't many people around here. We'll take him to the alley in a bit..." Leng Yihan, who was about to step into the hotel, turned around and continued walking forward.

Leng Yihan speaks three languages: Chinese, English, and Japanese. Although the group of people had spoken very softly and were speaking Japanese, Leng Yihan still heard them.

Plus that gaze that was clearly directed at him...

As Leng Yihan walked towards a less crowded area, she used reflective surfaces on the road to observe the situation behind her.

"Can we go now, bro? This kid's noticed."

"You've been keeping us at bay for so long, get rid of him!"

A series of quick footsteps sounded, and Leng Yihan immediately took off running without thinking. When she looked back, she saw that there were indeed three burly men chasing after her.

"Hey kid, don't run away!"

"Stop right there!" This time, the shout wasn't in Japanese, but in Mandarin.

"Who would stop?! Do you think I'm stupid?!" Leng Yihan replied in Japanese, then darted into a nearby alley.

After circling through several alleys, he finally seized the opportunity to jump into an empty trash can, close the lid, and hide.

"Where's that kid?!"

"I don't know... Brother, how about we split up and chase them separately? I'll search this area!"

"Okay, notify me immediately if you find it!"

When the footsteps sounded, only one person was walking towards him; the footsteps of the other two were fading into the distance.

The footsteps faded into the distance, but they weren't far away; they returned quickly.

"Tsk, where is this young man hiding? Why don't you hurry up and catch him and bring him back to report..." The man kicked the trash can where Leng Yihan was hiding and walked out of the alley with great dissatisfaction. Leng Yihan's heart jumped into her throat in an instant.

Leng Yihan remained motionless inside the trash can, even her breathing slowed down considerably. Hearing the footsteps of the pursuers leaving, Leng Yihan waited in the trash can for a few minutes until she was sure they were gone before climbing out.

After climbing out, Leng Yihan immediately hid behind a trash can and looked out of the alley. The three burly men were gone; they must have left.

"Phew... finally gone..." Leng Yihan breathed a sigh of relief and sat down against the trash can, but was startled by the person who suddenly appeared behind her.

"Who are you!" Leng Yihan, who was about to sit down, immediately stood up and cautiously looked at the person in front of her. Only when she realized that the person was just a little girl and probably couldn't do anything to her did she sit down to rest.

"You...can see me?" the little girl asked. Leng Yihan looked at her in confusion, but felt like she had seen this girl somewhere before.

"What's your name?"

"do not know……"

Leng Yihan sized up the little girl. She was disheveled and about 135 cm tall. Her white dress, though not tattered, was stained with many dirt, and her long blue hair had lost its original luster.

"!" Leng Yihan froze, the figure in front of her gradually merging with another person.

"Cold...ice blue..."

"Hmm? Leng Binglan... Is that my name?" The little girl tilted her head and looked at her, and Leng Yihan couldn't help but swallow.

No, no! It's all about image, Leng Yihan! A minimum of three years' imprisonment is a fair punishment!

"Ah...you're Chinese?" Leng Yihan suddenly remembered that she was in Japan. She had been chased for a long time by three Chinese men pretending to be Japanese, and then she met a little girl who spoke Chinese. She had completely forgotten that she was in Japan.

"do not know……"

How old are you?

"do not know……"

Why are you here?

"do not know……"

Okay, I don't know anything about it.

Leng Yihan gave up asking, figuring that no matter how much she asked, the answer would be the same: she didn't know.

"Um... what do you mean by 'I can see you'?"

"If I don't want people to see me... others can't see me... but I clearly don't want you to see me, but you still saw me..." The little girl sat on the ground in front of Leng Yihan, looked up at him, and her soft and cute voice touched Leng Yihan's heart.

Mmm! So cute! No, no... I already have Lin Yin, and I'm not a lolicon! But... but protecting cute things is definitely a human instinct, right?

Upon noticing that the little girl was sitting in a duck-like position, Leng Yihan couldn't help but clutch her heart.

This is... incredibly cute!

"It feels...so dangerous..."

"No, no, I'm not a lolicon!"

Leng Yihan hurriedly explained, only to be met with a distrustful look from the little girl.

"Believe me! Look into my sincere eyes!" Leng Yihan stared at the little girl with what she called a sincere look.

“…Okay.” The little girl nodded reluctantly, as if she believed that Leng Yihan would not harm her.

"Um... what about your family?"

"I don't know." The little girl gave this answer as soon as Leng Yihan asked.

Oh, I forgot, this little girl will probably only answer "I don't know".

"Icy blue".

"Huh?" Leng Yihan looked at the little girl who uttered those three words with a puzzled expression.

"Is this my name? I want a name..." The little girl's eyes were pleading.

I need a name...?

"...Yes, this is your name, a name that belongs to you, a name I gave you." For some reason, Leng Yihan subconsciously reached out and hugged the little girl.

"I have... a name now..." The little girl nestled in Leng Yihan's arms and began to sob.

Why...why do girls always cry in my arms?! And in such weird ways! Next time, a guy would be fine too!

"Don't cry, don't cry..." Leng Yihan smiled bitterly and stroked Leng Binglan's hair to comfort her.

The icy blue suddenly fell silent, and the whole world suddenly became quiet.

"?"

"Alright, that's how you two know each other~" Xia Youning's voice rang out again, and everything around them distorted, returning to the original dark space.

"...Are you so sure? That was my own answer just now, right? There couldn't have been any discrepancy?"

"I was worried about that at first too~ But it turns out you are the same person. Your actions and even your words are exactly the same. Please don't worry about that!" Hearing Xia Youning's words, Leng Yihan's initial doubts were put to rest.

"And then? What happened next?" Leng Yihan pressed, but Xia Youning just shook her head.

"I can't tell you, okay? You should go back now~"

"Hey..." Leng Yihan hadn't finished speaking when she woke up in the Demon Palace.

The Demon Palace was unusually quiet. The five people lay disheveled on the floor of the hall, while a huge mirror floated in the air.

Leng Yihan got up, glanced in the mirror, and walked to Lin Yin's side.

"Still in the illusion... Hmm? Can I enter someone else's illusion?" After walking to Lin Yin's side, a button appeared in front of Leng Yihan, indicating that she could enter her illusion.

"Brother Yihan... are you awake too?" Hearing someone calling him, Leng Yihan hadn't even turned around before Leng Binglan walked to his side.

"...Brother Yihan, are you... hiding something from me about Lin Yin...?"

"...What are you talking about...How could this be~" Leng Yihan was stunned and hurriedly covered up.

Leng Binglan did not reply, but just looked at Lin Yin who was still in the illusion.

"Binglan?" Leng Yihan asked cautiously, her expression hidden by the hair next to Leng Binglan.

"What... what exactly are you hiding from me..." Leng Binglan turned her head, and Leng Yihan was stunned, looking at Leng Binglan in front of her with some disbelief.

The once bright and lively eyes are now nothing but darkness, eyes that cannot reflect anything, as if they were dead...

"Ice blue...?"

“Answer… me…” Leng Yihan swallowed hard, staring dumbfounded at the now-darkened Leng Binglan.

"I... do not accept betrayal!"

29. About the past and the last BOSS

“I… do not accept betrayal…” Leng Binglan stood up from the ground and drew her katana.

"Binglan...do you really want to hear what they're hiding?" Leng Yihan asked with a troubled expression, while Leng Binglan nodded firmly.

"No matter what it is... tell me everything honestly!" Leng Binglan raised her katana, the tip pointing at Leng Yihan.

Although Leng Binglan is no match for Leng Yihan.

“It’s like this… Lin Yin and I…” Leng Yihan paused here, glancing at Leng Binglan’s hand holding the knife.

"You and Lin Yin?" Leng Binglan gripped the knife tighter, and her whole body trembled slightly without her noticing.

"...Lin Yin and I were preparing for your birthday, wanting to make you a special surprise gift, so we kept it from you. You see, your birthday is not long after ours, right... so..." Leng Yihan said with an embarrassed smile, looking at Leng Binglan with apologetic eyes.

I'm so sorry, Binglan! I kept this from you!

"Huh?! You and that wild woman... prepared a birthday present for me... four months early?" Leng Binglan was a little stunned, and she put away the knife in her hand.
