"Uh, not yet. Why?" Wise himself wasn't a big fan of thrillers. Although an entry-level film like Potter Mountain usually didn't have too many scary scenes, he wouldn't go out of his way to watch it.
"I see. That's good. I was just thinking, if you said you hadn't seen it, I would invite you to watch it with me. If you had already seen it, then..." Jane deliberately slowed down her tone at this point, which led Wise to take the initiative to ask, "Then what?"
"Then I would have to pretend that I'm a little scared to watch this kind of movie alone and ask you to watch it with me again." Jane blinked her beautiful eyes and deliberately said in a weak, pitiful, and helpless tone. "Well? Is little brother Wise willing to watch it with me?"
"Uh... alright. Then let's watch it together." Wise hesitated for a moment and then chose to agree. Although it was a thriller, it was only entry-level. Besides, the other party was the highest-level member of the video store.
The two then watched Potter Mountain together. And during this period, Wise could clearly feel the slight emotional fluctuations transmitted from the person next to him. It seemed that even the Jane who could show a strong side, her inner weakness would still be touched by a horror film. In that case, it doesn't count as me being a coward, right?
Wise sighed in his heart, then slightly moved closer to Jane, who was sitting next to him, wanting to give her some sense of security. The latter seemed to have noticed this as well and also moved closer to him. While accepting this protection, she also reciprocated Wise's sense of security.
It wasn't until after the movie ended that the two let out a breath in unison. At this time, they had unknowingly pressed tightly against each other. The contact between their shoulders, thighs, and the sides of their bodies was a bit too intimate. Jane's small face turned slightly red without a trace, and then she quickly pulled away a little.
"The sound of the chainsaw and the electric drill a few times was indeed excessively immersive." Seemingly recalling the plot of the movie just now, Jane's eyes half-closed, and her tone also lost some of its previous momentum.
"Yeah, I think so too. So even if it's exciting, I won't take the initiative to watch it." As Wise comforted her, he also felt a little surprised. Although Jane's inner self was not as strong as she appeared, so she was also afraid of horror films.
"Hmph, because little brother Wise is by my side. I think that even if someone broke in with a chainsaw, you would easily subdue him, right?" Although the words were true, this was obviously not something that could be admitted just like that.
"Mhm, actually, the door of my shop is very strong. It's not easy to break in." Of course, if the one trying to break in was Kelin or Ellen, then it would be a bit too much for this door.
But just at this moment, a sly smile suddenly appeared on Jane's face. "Just kidding. I was indeed very relaxed when I was watching just now. The reason... is probably as I said before. You have a scent that I like very much here, so no matter what I watch, I won't be too nervous."
As Jane spoke, she also twitched her nose slightly. Speaking of which, the sense of smell of a rat seems to be very sensitive. Could it be that she had smelled something?
[Jane's Affection increased by 10 points. Current Affection: 80 points. Obtained 1,000 Emotional Value. Current Emotional Value: 25,500 points.]
"I had a lot of fun today. It's getting late. I'll be going back in a while." Jane was actually just taking a break. The mission she was currently on was not yet complete. Although there had been a big breakthrough last night, she was still a little short. For now, it should be considered as a supply and rest before a great battle. After the mission is over in a few days, she'll come here again.
But, hmph, what a strange method. Clearly the same person, the same smell, but in the bottom of my heart, it keeps reminding me that this is different. It really makes one curious, Wise... Jane thought to herself. If it weren't for the fact that she, as a Demi-human, had a particularly sensitive perception of smell, Wise might have really gotten away with it.
And Wise, looking at her retreating figure, suddenly felt a little stressed. Fortunately, Jane had no evidence and could only guess based on her own feelings. But this could also be considered a small drawback of the talent ability: Cognition Tampering Magic (A-Rank). After all, it was not a top-tier talent. It was normal to have flaws.
"Brother, I just saw Miss Jane leave. How did you two get along? Did you get scared and hide in her arms?" Belle smiled mischievously.
Wise, hearing this, went straight up and fiercely ruffled the former's head a few times. "Ouch! Brother, what are you doing? You messed up my hair!"
Hearing Belle's complaining voice, this time it was Wise's turn to laugh. He then went downstairs and happened to see Aurelia and Odette standing by the door, carefully looking outside, as well as Little 18 and Aethel.
"What's wrong with you all? Why are you all gathered by the door?" Wise asked with some confusion.
The two people and two Bangboos, seeing him come, seemed to have found their backbone in an instant. Aurelia immediately explained, "Master, a lot of official people have come to the ramen stall next door. Could it be..." Speaking of this, she suddenly looked outside the door carefully, then continued in a low voice, "Could it be that Master Chop has been arrested?"
"If that's the case, then that's really terrible. Master Chop's ramen has always been very delicious, and it's also very affordable." Odette echoed her sister's words.
But Wise at this time had a speechless expression. What do you mean, arrested? That sounds so bad. It should be called 'found a good opportunity to turn over a new leaf.' Uh, that's not quite right either. Master Chop clearly hasn't done anything!
"Don't you worry. It'll be fine. I'll go out and see." Wise said and pushed open the door.
The official personnel on the opposite street were members of HAND's Anti-Hollow department. But their expressions were all very relaxed. They should have just come back from a mission and were passing by here, not here to raid a den... to investigate a case. After all, this matter should be under the jurisdiction of the Public Security Bureau.
And after walking a few steps, Wise saw a familiar figure in the crowd of the Anti-Hollow department. A beautiful woman with long pink hair was currently standing in front of the noodle stall and talking to Master Chop. He could faintly hear the latter's voice.
"Oh my, as expected of the elite led by Section 6. A notorious gang like [Thousand Faces] was completely wiped out by you all at once." As Master Chop praised, he also enthusiastically said that he would give everyone in the Anti-Hollow department a 20% discount. Hearing this, everyone else was very happy.
Only Tsukishiro Liu shook her head and then said with sincere words, "To say it was completely wiped out is an exaggeration by the media. But since you are so kind, we won't be polite."
