She has been guessing what Hikaru Ogata will give her. On the plus side, it might be a mobile phone with monitoring software installed on it. A veritable bastard, he has no bottom line at all, he can be worse than her imagination every time.

About ten minutes later, Hikaru Ogata came late. He seemed a little dissatisfied with her choice to sit in the public rest area. He turned his head to the side and told her lightly, "Go and sit over there."

The "over there" he said was the lobby bar on the other side, and the conditions were naturally much better than where she was sitting. But Seika Matsumoto didn't get up, she just looked up at him, and explained calmly: "I'm wearing a volunteer uniform, so it's not convenient to sit there."

Hikaru Ogata looked at her, and smiled with his lips curled up. He sat down beside him and said, "The sight line here is not very good."

This sentence made Seika Matsumoto a little confused, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows slightly, she wanted to ask him why his vision was not so good, but she swallowed the words again, and asked instead: " What are you looking for from me?"

Hikaru Ogata smiled faintly, raised his hand and took out a small note from the inside pocket of his suit, put it on the wide marble coffee table in front of him, and slowly pushed it to Seika Matsumoto, staring straight at her with a pair of handsome eyes, as if With a non-smiling smile, he said: "Then I was going abroad in a hurry, so I entrusted this to Mr. He, and by the way, asked him what happened between Hikaru Ogata and Kim Song."

Seika Matsumoto didn't respond, she just sat there straight, or since Hikaru Ogata took out the note, she had froze. At the beginning, she was afraid that Takeru Ogata would not come, and later she was afraid that Hikaru Ogata would hit him when he came, but she didn't expect that it was not the worst case. The worst case was that Takeru Ogata didn't come, and Hikaru Ogata But it came for him.

Perhaps, this is not the worst. The worst thing is what will happen next. Since he came here instead of Takeru Ogata, how could he let her go so easily?

Hikaru Ogata was still smiling slightly, and asked her again: "Mr. He, what do you know about Hikaru Ogata and Kim Song? Can you tell me about it? I'm also curious."

She couldn't find her own voice, but there was no sound when she opened her mouth, which forced her to close her mouth, took another deep breath, and then she could forcefully speak: "I don't know anything, and I said that just to deceive Takeru Ogata. "

"Really?" He asked softly, leaning back, crossing his legs, leaning his elbows on the armrest of the sofa, gently stroking his chin with his thumb and index finger, with a lazy expression, More casually, "Actually, I also think you are cheating. However, this still surprised me. Just when I began to think that our game was boring, you suddenly gave me a Surprise, it was fun."

He was telling the truth, not lying to her. He and her were like a cat-and-mouse game. He was already tired of playing it, and when he wanted to throw it away or bite him to death, the little mouse suddenly fought back. He was surprised, but he would not be angry. Instead, he would find it interesting, very interesting, and even happily think: That's great, I can play with this toy for a while longer.

Seika Matsumoto didn't speak, just pursed her lips and remained silent.

He smiled, and said again: "In return for the surprise you gave me, I think I should give you a return gift. Don't you think so?"

Her pupils constricted uncontrollably, and she looked at him nervously, waiting for his "return" to her.

At this moment, the soothing background sound of the piano music suddenly stopped. After a moment of silence, a man's heavy voice and a woman's soft sobbing suddenly sounded in the lobby. The sound was so shocking and so blushing that almost everyone in the lobby froze in place, subconsciously looking up to find the source of the sound.

On the several large video screens hanging in the eye-catching places of the lobby, the scenery of Kota Banzai that was originally playing was replaced by an unsightly video, and only the faces were mosaiced.

Both the hotel guests and the staff were dumbfounded. The video played for nearly a minute before the lobby manager reacted from the shock, shouted at the staff to turn off the video, and went to the display screen to While running over, trying to turn off the display screen directly.

There was a panic in the lobby, but the rest area in the corner was as frozen as death. At the moment when the voice just sounded, Seika Matsumoto felt as if she was struck by lightning, and there was a "buzz" in her brain, and then there was a blank, as if her soul had been forced out of her body, and she completely lost control of her body. .
