They Three Indeed...

Chapter 11: Those Three Really Are... [I Discovered a Secret.]

Under the crowd's curious or tense gazes, the Diary's content slowly emerged—

[Angel Yan... Angel Zhui... Angel Zhixin... They...]

The three named felt their hearts tighten instinctively.

[—Are definitely sisters, right?]

Azhui's mouth twitched slightly.

Thought it was some earth-shattering secret... and that's it?

Angel Yan felt like this kid was messing with her, but had no proof.

Though Queen Keisha had ordered them to carefully observe this man named Su Bai... right now, she really wanted to "teach him a lesson."

Zhixin tilted her head:

"Even though Sister Yan, Azhui, and I are close... we're not really sisters, right? We don't share blood."

[Xiao Xue asked me, very surprised, how my shocking brain came to that conclusion.]

[Hmph~ Xiao Xue finally admits I'm smart!]

—That's not what she meant at all!

The women silently complained internally.

Still, they were genuinely curious: how did Su Bai reach such an absurd conclusion?

[As for how I figured it out... Simple! They're all named 'Angel,' so they must be sisters!]

The crowd, silenced by Su Bai for the second time in short order:

Yeah... you can't use normal logic to understand this guy.

[Dammit, Xiao Xue scolded me again, saying 'Angel' is their race's name, and all their people are called that.]

[Hmph, how is that possible? Even a three-year-old knows demons and angels only exist in stories. Xiao Xue must be lying to me!]

[...Xiao Xue went silent. Looks like I was right.]

"Pfft..."

Qilin couldn't help but let out a light laugh.

He Weilan beside her shot a confused glance—

Sis... is this really the time to laugh?

The man sitting across heard the laugh and thought Qilin was mocking him. He immediately stood up excitedly, gesturing with his hands:

"Officer, I'm not joking! I really am being chased by a 'Kun'!"

"Cough... I know." Qilin cleared her throat, struggling to suppress her smile, putting on a serious face. "There's a 'Kun' chasing you, right?"

Seeing her barely holding back laughter, he knew she didn't believe him. He turned to He Weilan for help:

"Officer, you have to believe me!"

Because of Qilin's laugh, even He Weilan was struggling to keep a straight face. But her police training kept her calm as she replied:

"Mm, sir, we believe you."

The man could clearly tell—neither of them took him seriously.

He raised his voice:

"I'm not crazy!"

"There really is a 'Kun' chasing me!"

"It's not an ordinary Kun, it's the kind... wearing overalls, playing basketball!"

"I'm telling the truth, officers, you have to believe me!"

Qilin and He Weilan exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness—and barely suppressed laughter—in each other's eyes.

"Sir, please sit down and tell us slowly." Qilin tried to keep her tone calm and professional. "You say this 'Kun'... wears overalls and plays basketball?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The man sat back down, gesturing even more frantically. "It... it can sing and dance too! The moves are super smooth! But when it chased me, its eyes were really fierce!"

He Weilan lowered her head, scribbling quickly in her notebook, her shoulders shaking slightly.

Qilin took a deep breath, composed herself, and asked seriously: "Then where did you last see it? Were there any witnesses?"

"In the alley next to East Street Basketball Court! It was almost dark, the streetlights had just come on... It, it was holding a basketball, suddenly walked out of the shadows, pointed at the hoop for me, and then... then started dribbling!" The man grew more agitated. "The rhythm of that dribbling was like a ghost! I turned and ran, and it chased me while dribbling!"

Qilin: "..."

He Weilan: "..."

Both of them involuntarily pictured the scene in their minds—

A 'Kun' in overalls, dribbling a ball while chasing someone down a dark alley...

That image was too beautiful; they dared not dwell on it.

"Ahem." Qilin forcibly pulled her thoughts back. "So... did it catch up to you?"

"No! I ran fast! But I think it's still nearby..." The man lowered his voice, his expression terrified. "Officers, you have to send people to patrol that area! That's no ordinary animal! It... it's intelligent!"

He Weilan finally couldn't hold it in anymore. She turned her head and let out a light cough.

Qilin gave her a gentle kick under the table.

"Alright, sir. We've recorded your situation." Qilin stood up, making a gesture of seeing him out. "We'll arrange for personnel to check around East Street Basketball Court as soon as possible. Please go home for now and stay safe."

The man looked at her with doubt. "You... will actually investigate?"

"We will." Qilin nodded seriously. "But before that, I'd suggest you... try to avoid the area near the basketball court."

Hearing this, the man finally let out a sigh of relief. He showered them with endless thanks before leaving.

The moment he was gone, the two exchanged a glance and could no longer hold back—

The entire office instantly filled with long-suppressed laughter.

He Weilan laughed so hard she stomped her foot:

"Hahahahaha—!"

The door suddenly swung open. The man who had just left was standing at the entrance.

"Is... is there something else, sir?" He Weilan and Qilin immediately straightened their backs, putting on stern expressions as they tidied the interview records.

The man shot them a suspicious glance, then finally turned and truly left.

The door closed again. He Weilan collapsed into her chair, laughing:

"Hahaha... oh, Qilin, this is his fourth time reporting this month! First it was 'Lao Da doing elbow drops from helicopters,' then 'Hachimi that says manbo,' then 'Hundred Ton King that can charge up to the twentieth floor'... and now this is even more ridiculous—being chased by a 'Kun' that can play basketball!"

She laughed until her stomach ached, then turned to look at Qilin:

"But didn't you hold it in last time? Why couldn't you this time?"

Qilin pressed her lips together and smiled. "This time... the image in my head was just too vivid."

—She couldn't exactly say that her laughter wasn't entirely because of the man who had just reported the case, but because of Su Bai, who was currently writing in his diary.

After all, it was obvious that her good friend Weilan didn't have a diary, and couldn't see her own diary either.
