21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 300 The Enigmatic Qingdai (Please Subscribe, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

On their way home from work, Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi were walking to the subway station along a road where the snow had not yet fully melted.

This year's winter in Tokyo was a bit cold, bringing two snowfalls, which was unusual for the typically snow-free streets of Tokyo.

"Mr. Chen Yu, I saw Qingdai leaving your office earlier, what did she want?" Hiromi Jounouchi asked Chen Yu. She wasn't jealous, but she was very concerned about what that suspicious-looking woman, Qingdai, wanted with Chen Yu.

"She invited me to dinner, but I didn't accept," Chen Yu didn't hide anything from Hiromi Jounouchi and while explaining, he also cautioned her, "Hiromi, be careful around that Qingdai. It seems she's after me, but it's very likely she'll target you, too. She's not simple, you need to be careful."

"Not simple? Is she a transcendent too?" Hiromi Jounouchi, hearing Chen Yu say this and thinking back to the impression Qingdai had made on her, couldn't help but feel more wary of Qingdai. Explore more at novelbuddy

Chen Yu nodded, frowning seriously as he confirmed, "She has at least expert-level ability, even though I don't know what her profession is or what skills she has. At the very least, the affinity she shows comes from a Charm ability; that pitiable and fresh charm she displays is all an act."

"An act? And here I thought she was just a bit scheming!" Hiromi Jounouchi was surprised. Although she didn't have a good impression of Qingdai, she hadn't had a bad impression of her demeanor and image. However, since Chen Yu said it was all an act, she couldn't help but be astonished.

Yet apart from the surprise, she also felt alarmed. If a person could fake both their outward appearance and their inner traits, that person was indeed terrifying.

"Not only is her outward image and inner quality a facade, but I even doubt her gender. Because I can't be sure she is really a woman, and as for her age... for a transcendent, maintaining eternal youth is far too easy." This statement of Chen Yu was not based on evidence, but he had an intuition that she might not be a genuine woman.

However, Hiromi Jounouchi wasn't too surprised by this. Instead, she gave a wry smile and covered her mouth to giggle as she asked, "Mr. Chen Yu, you aren't suspecting she's a cross-dresser, are you? If she is, then your concerns could be valid. After all, for a man to live like a woman, there would indeed be a sense of pretense.

But this Qingdai... I don't think she's a cross-dresser. No matter how much a cross-dresser tries to imitate, there are always many differences compared to a real woman."

"Is that so? Maybe. But it's always right to be careful around her, Hiromi; she's really complicated, and very dangerous," Chen Yu did not completely agree with Hiromi Jounouchi's assessment, but he didn't say much else, just reiterated the caution.

As they continued walking forward, a black luxury car suddenly stopped at the side of the road, the driver honked the horn, and Qingdai stuck her head out from the car window and called to Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi, "Professor Chen, Doctor Jounouchi, are you walking home? Why not take a ride in my car, and I'll give you a lift?"

"A lift?" Upon hearing Qingdai's offer, Chen Yu shared an incredulous look with Hiromi Jounouchi and shook his head with slight amusement, "No need, Hiromi and I are used to walking back. Besides, we don't live far, just two subway stops away after walking to the station ahead."

Qingdai's invitation instinctively felt like a threat to Hiromi Jounouchi, and after Chen Yu declined, she added, "We also need to stop at the supermarket to buy some things. You must be in a hurry to get home too, right, Miss Qingdai? Why should we trouble you for such a small matter!"

Chen Yu's direct refusal was somewhat beyond Qingdai's expectations; in her original plan, Chen Yu shouldn't have declined her so bluntly.

In Qingdai's eyes, as a surgery professor at the University of Tokyo, it seemed inconsistent with Chen Yu's status to commute by subway every day, and according to her plan, he should have accepted the ride as soon as she offered.

Once Chen Yu got into the car, she would have more opportunities to stir up the relationship between Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi. She believed that Hiromi Jounouchi would care more about face than Chen Yu and just a few provocative words from her would achieve her goal.

But the reality was far from what she anticipated; not only did Chen Yu decline the ride, but she also got a sharp retort from Hiromi Jounouchi.

This unexpected outcome brought a hint of dissatisfaction and the sense that her plan was veering off course.

To maintain her image, Qingdai could only politely chuckle and without insisting further, she closed her car window and signaled the driver to drive away.

But she had not noticed Hiromi Jounouchi's eyes had turned blue at that moment.

"I can't see through her! She has a very powerful disguise!" Hiromi Jounouchi sternly focused her gaze onto the car carrying Qingdai as it drove away, keeping it in sight until it rounded a corner and vanished. With a hint of regret, she closed her eyes and deactivated her True Vision.

"Even with the giant dragon's True Vision, you can't see through her? She couldn't resist that with her power." While Chen Yu could not see through Qingdai's true nature, he could still sense her power level. Given Qingdai's demonstrated abilities, it should have been impossible for her to withstand the True Vision, known for seeing through everything.

When Hiromi Jounouchi heard what Chen Yu said, she also felt it was strange and explained her own observations, "There must be something on her that blocked my sight. It's not a disguise, just a simple blockage. And it's odd; I thought I saw the presence of a second person within her."

"A second person's presence? Are you sure?" Hiromi Jounouchi's comment surprised Chen Yu, as seeing a second person inside someone was no ordinary occurrence.

Hiromi Jounouchi nodded slightly. She didn't stay still, but continued walking with Chen Yu as she explained, "A second person very closely linked to her. I almost thought it was a double image. The two seemed superimposed on each other. No wonder, Mr. Chen Yu, you felt she wasn't like a woman; she must be possessed by a male ghost."

"Possessed by a ghost? What kind of ghost could conceal itself in the presence of a Necromancer?" Chen Yu didn't agree with Hiromi Jounouchi's conclusion. As he had said, what kind of ghost could hide itself from a Necromancer?
