Chapter 1 The Woman With A Big Problem
It was raining lightly from the gray sky.
In the dark alley, two old street lights flickered because they hadn't been fixed for years.
There was a strong smell of blood in the air.
On the ground, there was a body cut in half at the waist, lying face down and with the face not visible.
Standing next to the body was a woman wearing a black suit, with long silver hair flowing down her shoulders.
Her face showed no emotion. She shook her right hand slightly, causing the blood from the long knife to drip onto the ground, mixing with the rain. Then she put the knife back into its sheath.
On the other side of the body, Li Xia sat on the ground, his face filled with surprise. Although he was scared by what he saw, he didn't scream because of the nearby body. Instead, he carefully observed the silver-haired woman in front of him.
He had just seen this beautiful woman on TV, so why was she here saving him?
The silver-haired woman didn't explain anything and turned to leave.
At that moment, a mechanical voice suddenly appeared in her mind.
"Ding, system binding successful."
"Main Mission activated."
"Objective 1, Mother's Love Flows Like Water."
"Synopsis: Within one month, make Li Xia believe that you are his long-lost biological mother."
"Objective 2, Father's Love Flows Like Water."
"Synopsis: Within one month, make Li Xia believe that you are his daughter."
"Reward: Randomly gain a new skill."
"Penalty for Failure: Brain death."
"Quick Tip: Choose your main mission within ten seconds to receive a beginner's gift pack, or face consequences. Countdown: 10, 9, 8..."
The woman with silver hair frowned a little, her hand on the long knife's handle. With a gentle push, the long knife made a "whoosh" sound as it came out.
Suddenly, it felt like the temperature dropped a bit. At this moment, she looked like a silver-haired angel of death. Any enemies that showed up would be swiftly dealt with by her blade.
Li Xia sat on the ground, surprised by her quick draw. Was she planning to silence him forever?
His mind raced to find a way to escape. However, she just stood there, muscles tense, like a cheetah ready to pounce, carefully scanning her surroundings.
"Ding dong." That robotic voice echoed in her mind.
"Time's up. Since the host didn't choose a mission in time, a random penalty is being assigned."
"Random completion. Penalty: Incontinence."
As the synthetic voice finished, a wet spot slowly appeared on the silver-haired woman's pants, spreading quickly. Even though it was a rainy day, it was clearly visible.
Li Xia saw all of this. He opened his mouth and looked at the beautiful silver-haired woman in front of him.
"Everything that happened today feels like a dream..."
...
...
Let's go back in time by three hours.
Li Xia is a regular person from Chinese who came to Tokyo for studies because his mom's stepsister is a professor at the University of Tokyo.
After finishing high school, he chose to study in Tokyo because of his stepsister's position. Not able to endure her messy lifestyle, he decided to move out, making his already small living expenses even more challenging.
Getting a part-time job became his only option.
Even though he wasn't familiar with Tokyo, relying on his good looks, he quickly found a job as a waiter in a coffee shop.
Today, as usual, he wiped the counter. In the center of the cafe was a TV showing recent mysterious disappearances in the city.
On the screen, a group of Tokyo law enforcement officials were bowing and apologizing.
This scene seemed to happen many times, bowing and bowing again, but the cases remained unsolved.
"Tokyo is really not peaceful," Li Xia shook his head, continuing to wipe the glass in his hand.
He wasn't particularly worried about the cases themselves. In a city with a population of thirty million like Tokyo, a few people going missing didn't mean much.
He's not the main character of a story; how could he possibly come across such things by chance?
Moreover, he always walks in crowded places when he goes home.
He doesn't go to small streets or old buildings, and he says no when his classmates invite him to go on vacation to small islands or places like that.
When he's walking on the street, he doesn't show interest in strange things and doesn't buy them.
He doesn't enter stores without signs.
He avoids fortune tellers and similar things.
He hangs up immediately on unknown phone calls without numbers.
He never walks behind high school students with strange hairstyles.
Even if he sees a high school girl in a school uniform sitting by the wall on his way home at night, he doesn't start a conversation.
He avoids any options that might lead to strange situations.
"Wow~ Handsome," said a girl named Fujino Chie, who is a university student at the University of Tokyo and one year older than Li Xia. She is a very friendly senior.
When she found out that Li Xia is her junior, she promised to take care of him as a senior.
However, Li Xia quickly realized that this senior, although a bit scatterbrained, didn't really help him much. Instead, Li Xia ended up helping her with a lot of work.
She liked leaning on the counter, which relieved the strain on her upper body, and she watched TV with eyes full of excitement.
"Senior, even if you haven't found a boy you like, please don't be interested in middle-aged men."
Li Xia cleaned the glass and glanced at the TV screen. He stopped suddenly.
Behind some politicians, there were over ten men in black suits standing.
They wore suits like the politicians, but seemed more like soldiers.
A woman with white hair stood out among them. She wore a black suit with a coat draped over her shoulders. Her name tag read: Kirigiri Shimizu.
Just her presence made the reporters quiet down and the camera clicks slowed.
A brave reporter asked her, "Is it true that the police took over because this case is unusual?"
It was a tricky Missionion. If she denied it, the reporter could point out the oddities.
The officials beside her frowned. This reporter was trying to make trouble.
Kirigiri Shimizu stayed calm, her voice cold: "There are no unusual events in this world."
The sound was not loud, and there was no feeling in it. When the person who reports the news saw her denial, they were going to say the lines they had prepared. But just as they were about to speak, they suddenly looked into her eyes, and their body shivered without meaning to. In an instant, they felt like they were in a very cold cave, and their body sat back on its own.
"So pretty." Fujino Chie's eyes lit up, and she turned her head to look at Li Xia, her voice very excited. "From now on, she is my favorite. I will only love her in my life."
"You said the same thing last time when you saw someone." Li Xia also looked away from the TV at the same time. Yes, she was a very beautiful ice lady. But this important government person was not in the same world as them, and they would never have any relationship. Li Xia didn't worry too much about it.
"Weird~" Fujino Chie suddenly looked thoughtful. "Her hair and eyebrows are both white, so doesn't that mean..."
It seemed like she thought of something, and her smile slowly became strange.
"Senior, you should go see a doctor tomorrow." Li Xia put the clean cup neatly in his hand and stopped talking with this senior who sometimes drove him around. He took out a broom and started cleaning by himself.
He quickly got to the place where the customer had just left and saw a red wallet on the ground.
