I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 186

Li Yan talked to Shiina Mashiro.

As an intermediary, he also earned a full 15% reduction in rent, and the money saved (about 700-1000 rnb) can almost provide him with food expenses for more than a week.

"Are you thirsty? Would you like to go to my room for a warm drink first?" Li Yan asked.

Shiina Mashiro pondered for a while and nodded.

The two of them walked downstairs, and Li Yan began to introduce the situation of the residents here.

"I live in room 505. Room 506 is occupied by an office worker named Xiao Lin, and room 405 is occupied by a high school girl. Like you, she comes from the West. They are all good people... Also, if not Be careful if you see a dragon flying around in the sky, or a girl with wings sneaking around, you can ignore them, they are all fake, but lately there are always some weird projections and drones that have been misjudged …”

With a smile on his face, Li Yan said words that he didn't even believe, and tried his best to brainwash Shiina Mashiro, otherwise he would move out in less than a month and his preferential rent policy would be completely over.

As a result, in room 505, the door was open, and Li Yan began to cook two bowls of cold-repelling ginger soup in the kitchen to drive away the dampness and coldness that had been soaked in for a day. Shiina Mashiro looked at this room curiously.

I have to say, it's very ordinary, so ordinary that it seems like it has nothing.

The night breeze blew in from the balcony, blowing Mashiro's beautiful blond hair, and finally, the sound of rustling attracted her attention.

In the bedroom, a simple desk was filled with various documents on supernatural research, as well as books, which were constantly shaking in the wind. Shiina Mashiro picked up a book, and on the cover, there was a scary woman wearing white clothes with three candles on her head, a mirror around her neck...

"Huh? Miss Shiina?"

Li Yan was holding two bowls of ginger soup, but he didn't see Shiina Mashiro in the living room. As a result, he saw Shiina Mashiro in the bedroom who was interested in the supernatural information he collected.

"...Are you interested in ghost culture?"

Li Yan put the ginger soup on the dining table and asked casually.

"...What does this woman do?" Mashiro Shiina curiously showed the book "The Girl of Ugly Time" to Li Yan and asked.

"Ugly Time's Daughter, to put it simply, she is a very dangerous person. Every day from one to three o'clock, she uses an ancient Japanese ritual to curse the people she hates. What's wrong?" Li Yan asked curiously.

"Ah...no."

Shiina Mashiro shook his head and said calmly.

However, what Mashiro said immediately left Li Yan stunned.

"In the TV show "Searching for Reality in Illusion," I saw a woman dressed similarly to her in one scene." Mashiro Shiina said, looking at the cover calmly and intently.

The bleak night, accompanied by the cold rain, is so peaceful, yet so strange and uneasy...

Chapter 121 Holmes Lee and Shiina Watson

Sparse raindrops dotted the dark sky. It was already ten o'clock in the night. A girl next door complained about the laundry not drying. Downstairs, the flickering light from the video game seemed to be still shining. Have a good time.

The golden bangs fell in front of the delicate eyebrows, and the beautiful eyes like still water focused on every frame on the black laptop screen. Mashiro Shiina watched the video of the third consecutive broadcast of the program again, in a quiet room Inside, she and Li Yan sat motionless in front of the computer for more than fifty minutes.

Unintentionally, Shiina Mashiro's words seemed to be the only thread in the mystery that Li Yan was struggling to find no clues for. With Li Yan's request, Shiina Mashiro quietly started from this book called "Searching in Fantasy". In the real scene of the "Reality" courage test competition, she looked for suspicious shots. In the eyes of ordinary people, the dark night scene of the shot, but in her eyes she could still distinguish subtle differences.

Without saying a word, Mashiro Shiina concentrated on doing this, as if she had endless endurance, which made Li Yan on the side secretly surprised. As a result, before one o'clock in the shooting time, he could not find anything at all. The suspicious shots were simply three suspicious pictures found in the clip where Li Yan appeared, and they were printed out by Li Yan using a printer.

"You really have incredible eyesight, so many excellent painters are born with it, and it looks completely dark."

Li Yan got three pieces of printing paper from the printer and looked at it under the light. He couldn't see any suspicious signs, but there was a slight difference. He had to look at the person next to him again. The quiet girl thought to herself.

"here……"

Shiina Mashiro used a pencil to draw three circles on three pieces of printing paper, once at the stone steps, once at the edge of the waterfall, and again next to the incense burner under the shrine, but the clearest one, But it was next to the incense burner. It seemed that because the vegetation was relatively sparse, the moonlight could easily shine in, making the outline of the woman hidden in the darkness more obvious, but it was also the closest to their group. If Mashiro hadn't simply drawn the outline of the face in that corner with a pencil, it would still be almost impossible to see.

"Sure enough, I realized that the mountain was not big at all. It was impossible for me not to encounter Chou Shi's daughter along the way. As a result... I was monitored by the other party."

Li Yan held three pieces of printed paper and thought about it carefully, but suddenly, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back. Now when he thinks about it carefully, he always feels that it is more terrifying than watching a horror movie.

"So, Miss Shiina, can you draw this woman's face?" Li Yan asked, looking at her seriously with a glimmer of hope.

Shiina Mashiro shook her head.

"Isn't it true? Then, if you meet the woman in the video again, is there any way to recognize her?"

Li Yan felt a little disappointed, but he also understood that even a genius could not force others to do anything. He thought that if she could recognize the general outline, she might recognize that woman the next time they met, and tried to ask again.

As a result, Shiina Mashiro nodded.

"...Is that okay? He is indeed a world-class painter. He is finally saved."

Li Yan was suddenly startled and looked at Mashiro Shiina blankly. His face suddenly became filled with surprise and he said with a smile.

【Whoosh whoosh...】

The night breeze on the balcony blew as he sat cross-legged in the living room. For a moment, Li Yan hesitated for a moment. Facing the only hope, he seemed to have no other option. He was not a famous detective, nor What kind of mage? When he had no way to investigate, he was lucky enough to meet this talented girl. Involving her might also put her in danger, but on the other side, there were countless people whose lives were at stake. He thought about it silently in his heart. After that, he put down the printing paper in his hand.

"Actually, this is the case... I need you to do me a favor. We have just met. Maybe this kind of favor is a bit dangerous and a bit too much. But I have no choice. Miss Shiina, if you can, I would like to ask you to help me find this The woman you see in the three pieces of paper... As a condition, I can help you with anything you ask, as long as it does not involve the bottom line of morality... So, Miss Shiina, are you willing to help me with this big favor? ?”

Li Yan rarely asked for help, and even when he was running out of ammunition and food, he did not use begging to resolve his crisis. But this time, he seriously lowered his body while sitting cross-legged and faced Shiina Mashiro on the side. the request said.

"..." Shiina Mashiro was silent for a while and nodded.

"I... plan to draw interesting stories."

With her back to the balcony, under the vast rolling night sky, the girl's long golden hair was gently swaying in the cold wind, and she spoke quietly.

…

a week ago.

England, under the gray sky, is located in the garden of a manor, with green grass, clear water trickling, and the waterwheel making a rumbling sound, turning quietly.

When she came back from the streets, she got a novel with the sixth volume written on it and returned to the manor. At the same time, she also brought the news about the writer's new book back to the place where she was familiar with her life.

——[It’s done, the resume I made for you has been completed. If such a beautiful resume is sent directly by email or express delivery, probably no cultural company will reject you as a genius... There are so many outstanding talents. I believe that the light novel writer will be flattered by his representative work. There is probably no one in this world who refuses to draw for you, Mashiro...]

——[Ever since you became obsessed with this set of novels, I feel like you have begun to change. Is this book really that good? 】

After helping her prepare that resume, that close friend smiled, and the corner of his confident mouth kept looming in that thin dream.

【Dong dong dong! 】

Suddenly, a series of knocks on the door brought this dream gradually back to reality.

"Huh? No lock?!"

Li Yan's surprised voice came from outside the door.

Seemingly worried about the situation inside, Li Yan finally chose to go in after waiting for a moment. After saying something like "interruption", he waited for a while, then turned the doorknob, opened the door bit by bit, and looked carefully. The situation inside.

A breeze, like sunshine, blew and shone on him. In front of Li Yan, this empty room was littered with pieces of paper, which seemed to be scraps of comics. The moment the door opened, the air flow was smooth. After that, they all began to flutter. Li Yan was surprised and picked up a scrap manuscript and looked at it. He saw some plot developments similar to those in shoujo comics. Only then did he realize that Mashiro Shiina seemed to specialize in the shoujo manga genre.
