Succubus Second Night

"Where did you go, Sai, you're back late." Jia Er, who had become Sai, asked Guan Gu as soon as he entered the apartment.

Sai and Guan Gu live together off campus, and Sai makes people feel like Guan Gu's attendant on weekdays. Guan Gu usually washes clothes with Sai's help, and the room cleaning usually belongs to Sai.

"Ah, let's go out for a while." Just after finishing speaking, Jiaer was stunned. Guan Gu's new girlfriend, Nana, was coming out of Guan Gu's room. Nana was wearing lace underwear and a small white vest. Valley's bedroom leads to the kitchen.

"Sai, the bathroom was blocked with dirty water just now, you can clear it later." Nana took out a bottle of juice from the refrigerator, and went back to Guan Gu's room after speaking.

"Guan Gu, this is...?" Jia'er asked in surprise.

"What's the matter, it's not the first time you've seen Nana here, have you lost your memory? Don't forget to clean the bathroom." After finishing speaking, Guan Gu also returned to the room.

At this time, many memories about Nana emerged in Jiaer's mind. She lived here a week before she and Guan Gu broke up. From time to time, she could hear strange voices from Guan Gu's room from Sai's room.

Damn it, why didn't Saii tell me this, let's see how I settle accounts with him tomorrow, Jiaer dragged Saii's heavy body to Saii's room. Sai's room is a side sleeper, much smaller than Guan Gu's master bedroom, with a single bed, a wardrobe, and a desk. There is not much space in the room, and the chairs and the floor are full of socks and underwear.

"Why is he so unhygienic? It's so dirty. It's disgusting." Jiaer pinched her fingers and took off the socks on the bed, but what made her even more **** was that she saw that the edges of the pillow and quilt had turned yellow. Yes, the pillow is shiny with hair oil. "I can't live here at all. I usually see nothing but fat and old clothes. I didn't expect it to be so disgusting in private." The thought of such a disgusting body wearing her own skin and sleeping on her clean and fragrant bed gave Jiaer a headache. "It's a good thing it's only for one night. Tomorrow, I have to change everything. Let's sleep on the ground tonight." Jiaer took out the heavy down jackets in the closet, and spread the windbreaker on the floor. "Forget it, anyway, it's not my body that's in personal contact with his things. Everything I touch is caused by this skin." In the narrow bedroom, the toilet paper next to the bed, the old notebook with the letters on the keys rubbed off, The lack of poor clothes in the closet all showed that Sai was in distress now, and Jia Er kept playing back Sai's memories in her mind while slowly falling asleep.

"Sai! Sai! What's going on! Didn't I tell you to flush the toilet? Are you deaf? Can't you hear?" In the morning, when Jiaer was sleeping in a daze, she heard someone calling him, and at the same time her body was kicked A few feet.

"Ah... I'll go now." Jia'er rubbed her eyes and ran to the bathroom to pick up tools and start to work.

"Hurry up, I have to go to work later." Nana said angrily.

While teasing Jiaer, she muttered, "Hey? Why did I have to flush the toilet, I have never done this kind of thing before, and why should I listen to her, no one dares to talk to me like that before." At this time, Jiaer When she was fully awake, she became angry immediately, threw her things on the ground and walked out of the bathroom.

"Are you an idiot? Don't you have any hands? You want to do it yourself. Who is used to you, who is so ugly and dares to come out to seduce men? Didn't your father teach you how to be a man?" Jia Er's emotions at this moment She broke out completely, and she said all the things she wanted to say to Nana all the time. Before that, she had no chance to say it because Guan Gu never let them meet. Now she finally had the chance to confront Nana head-on. At this moment, she I was inexplicably happy in my heart.

Nana just listened to Jia Er scolding her in a daze. She was dazed because the fat man in front of her had been docile and obedient before, why was she so excited today? He even scolded himself.

"Boom!" Jia'er's eyes went dark, her left face went numb, and she flew out, her heavy body fell firmly to the ground.

Guan Gu looked angrily at the fat man lying on the ground, and shook his hands. "You dare to call me a woman? Sai, did you drink too much?!"

Jia Er felt dizzy, the world in front of her eyes was all pieces, and she later realized that it was her glasses that were broken.

Jia'er wobbled and stood up while leaning on the wall, looking vaguely at Nana crying in Guan Gu's arms.

Jiaer felt extremely wronged, she never thought that her man would hit her because of another woman, her nose was sore and tears flowed out, "Boss and girl, go to hell!" After finishing speaking, she slammed the door and ran out.

"Damn, why is this B so sissy, she cried after being punched. It's okay, my husband is here, when he comes back at night, my husband will ask him to kneel down and apologize to you~" Guan Gu said while coaxing Nana with.

Jia'er was crying while running, and she couldn't run any longer, and her weight and lack of exercise were all inherited with her human skin. Jiaer finally came to rest on a bench in the park, and when she sat down, she cried again when she remembered just now, and finally stopped crying when she was tired. She touched her pocket and found a pack of cigarettes in her pocket. She has never smoked before, but now that she saw this pack of cigarettes, she always wanted to try smoking one. She took out one and lit it in her mouth, which surprised her. I didn't get choked, and my body was very comfortable, and my brain calmed down, "What's going on, I didn't get choked by the smoke for the first time I smoked."

She also discovered another strange thing, why in the morning when Nana asked him to flush the toilet, her first reaction when she was half asleep was to actually run away, and she was also very proficient in using tools. What is the reason?

"Forget it, I've given up on Guan Gu too, the dogs and girls are left to their own devices, I'll trade back with Sai now." Thinking of Jia Er reluctantly using her broken glasses to watch the road as she walked towards her apartment.

As soon as I walked to the man-made lake in the school park, I found several people taking pictures. Two photographers were taking pictures of a girl. Jiaer saw that the girl's hair and figure were very familiar. "Hey? Isn't that me?" Jiaer It turns out that it is Sai wearing his own skin. Jiaer quickened her pace and leaned towards the group of them.

Two male photographers are focusing on taking pictures of Sai, who is already Jiaer. In their shots, Sai is wearing a black dress, denim jacket, black thin stockings and brown high-heeled boots. Under the slightly curly long hair that is parted in the middle is a petite and delicate face. She showed Jiaer's iconic smile and kept posing.

After Jiaer walked in, she realized that today she had made an appointment with the magazine to shoot the cover, and the two photographers had collaborated many times. Jiaer wanted to go over and call Sai over, but she decided not to disturb the photographer to take pictures of herself. She sat on a chair beside her and waited quietly for their shooting to end.

After a while, the filming was over. I saw Jiaer in Sai’s costume said goodbye to the photographers and left with her bag. The walking movements of Sai, who had just become Jiaer, were exactly the same as Jiaer’s. Jiaer’s buttocks It's very big, so it's very sexy when you walk, twisting and twisting, and Sai's performance is very similar.

"Hello!" Jiaer came over and called Saii, who was also taken aback, "Zo...Jiaer? I knew you were going to take pictures today so I had to bite the bullet and go. I'm sorry I forgot because I was in a hurry. I told you, but luckily I didn’t reveal anything~hehe~, huh? What’s wrong with your outfit?” Apparently Sai was also very puzzled by the disheveled Jiaer in front of him.

"Not much to say, I don't want to dress you up, and I don't want to take care of Guan Gu's affairs, go back to my house and take off the skin and get it back." Jia Er went straight to her apartment as she spoke.

So there was such a scene on the road, a shabby little fat man walking fast and followed by a beautiful woman in high heels. Passers-by looked like the beautiful woman was chasing an angry boyfriend, which was very inconsistent.

"What's the matter? Someone beat you?" Saii took out a tissue from Jiaer's pink bag and handed it to Jiaer to wipe her dirty face, but Jiaer ignored him and walked quickly. At that time, I just wanted to change back to myself, especially after seeing the beautiful and proud self in the camera just now.

After returning to her home, Jiaer first walked around the house. The mess that was full of the house last night has been tidied up. There is no smelly smell like Sai’s bedroom in the house, but the familiar aroma .

"Okay, take off your clothes too, and change them back quickly." Jia'er took off all her clothes, picked up the crystal ball and put it in her mouth.

One second, two seconds, Jia Er's body still did not change, her saliva flowed out but the Sai skin on her body still did not wrinkle and peel off from her body.

"What's going on? Why didn't you respond?" Jia Er spat out the crystal ball and said in horror, her voice trembling, an ominous premonition appeared in her mind, could it be that this skin can't be taken off after wearing it? ?

Sai behind him had just taken off his high-heeled boots, and his little black silk feet elegantly slipped into the slippers and walked over slowly.

"No, didn't I take it off after wearing it yesterday? Let me see." Sai was also very surprised, took the crystal ball from Jiaer's hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

Similarly, Sai's body didn't respond at all, and Jiaer's voice became more trembling, "How could this be... Is there a step we didn't do, I don't want to keep doing this, I want to change back to myself." Jiaer said cried again.

Sai tried hard to find out about the crystal ball from his memory, but he found nothing. He could take it off by doing this yesterday, why today...? Could it be...

"I wonder if it's because of our ML yesterday?" Sai thought that this was the only difference between yesterday and today.

"Ah? Could it be that we won't take off this skin after ML?" Jiaer's eyes slowly disappeared, and she muttered something in a low voice.

"Now I can only ask your father, after all, I got this thing from him." Sai said helplessly.

Jiaer seemed to have hope again, "That's right! I got this thing from my father, let's go home and look for information! Let's go now." As Jiaer said, she began to put on her baggy clothes.

"Isn't the school having a party tonight? I'm a guest performer. If you feel you can leave, then I'll ask for leave." Saii knew from Jiaer's memory that she was going to dance at the party today.

"Then tomorrow, this event is still very important to me, we will go to see my father tomorrow." Jiaer has already dressed.

"You are so ugly and dirty now, your glasses are broken, and your hair is messy. Come on, I'll take you to buy some clothes, cut your hair, and you tell me how you made me like this It's gone." Saii doesn't know why he always feels a little disgusted when he sees his original self, but he still loves Li Jiaer deeply, and he doesn't want to make Jiaer feel sad.

"You still despise yourself, you know your image is ugly, okay, but you have to pay for the money, after all, it's for your own face~" Jiaer said playfully, at this time Jiaer Her son's condition has stabilized a lot. She knows that there must be a way when she returns home, because she knows that her family belongs to a family of exorcists. It seems that her ancestor is a very famous exorcist, and this skill has been passed down to her father. In this life, her father knew very well about such things, and there were always some strange things in the house, which would definitely be resolved if she went home, and thinking of this made her feel much better.

After taking a shower in the bathroom, Jiaer went out with Sai, and the two of them talked about their situation along the way, and Sai was very angry when he knew that his goddess had been **** by Guan Gu.

"He's gone too far! Isn't this one punch equivalent to hitting the two of us? No, this **** must be avenged!" Said Sai, who was wearing Jiaerpi, clenched her fists and blushed.

Seeing Sai's angry expression, Jia Er felt very cute, and wanted to touch him, but she held back, what the hell was she doing, it wasn't a girl, and it was herself! Why do I have feelings for myself? It’s strange. She was not interested in handsome guys along the way, but involuntarily looked at the stocking legs of girls passing by, but she didn’t mind. It should be Sai’s memory that drove her to do so. .

The two walked to the commercial street and began to choose clothes for Jiaer. Jiaer also knew that Sai was really pitiful. No one paid attention to him in the clothing store. He was buying clothes for himself, but the waiter just kept talking to Saii. I can only try on one by one, I believe Saii has tasted the feeling of being ignored many times, no wonder he doesn't like to come to this kind of place, Jiaer suddenly feels sorry for Saii, at this moment she really wants to change her body After trying to get in touch with Sai, Sai really cared about herself, and kept choosing clothes for her. Now Sai also has a good taste in clothes, and she is very good at choosing clothes. These clothes are all new products, although I have my own memory to know which clothes are good-looking and which are not, but many of the new products I choose have been praised and approved by the waiters. If you explain it, this is a woman's sixth sense, right?

"How is it? My vision is not bad, right?" Sai Mimi smiled and admired her masterpiece of matching. Jiaer looked at the man in the mirror and didn't know what to say, although her current dress was different from usual. It turns out that he is much more handsome, but he is still not used to looking at strangers in the mirror.

"Don't worry, Jia'er. As long as we go to find Dad, we can definitely take off the skin on our body. Don't be unhappy. Once you are unhappy, I will also be unhappy."

"Well! We will definitely change it back!"

At the party, Jiaer sat alone in the corner and looked at Sai, who seemed to be herself on the stage, dancing like a fairy in a beautiful dance costume. He knew all his memories and all his living habits very well, and there was no mistake in his dance steps. Smiling confidently, Jiaer looked as if she was in a dream, it turned out that she was so shining and perfect.

Not far from Jiaer, it turned out that my good sisters were cheering for me on the stage. If they knew that the person on the stage was no longer me, how would they feel? Jiaer wished to change back now, back to her soft After a good night's sleep in bed, everything returned to normal when I woke up.

After the curtain fell on the stage, Jiaer walked silently to the grove behind the theater. This was an agreement between Jiaer and Sai. Jiaer still didn't want others to find that she and Saii were walking so close. She still didn't like Saii in her heart. Yes, when she made an appointment with Sai, she didn't notice that Sai's tender lips twitched slightly.

"You performed very well. I noticed all my easy-to-miss dance moves. Congratulations to me for winning the first place." Jiaer watched Sai come over.

"It's okay, because I don't want to disappoint Jiaer, Jiaer must be the best~" Saii blinked mischievously, and at some point Saii even learned some of Jiaer's little tricks, and blinked when she was cute It was Jiaer's small gesture all along. Jia Er suddenly felt a chill, will she be completely replaced by Sai? If she disappears now, no one will notice, at most, an otaku is missing, no one will care about her life and ****, Sai, who has completely obtained her own memory, can continue to live happily as Li Jiaer.

"Let's go back, go home early tomorrow morning." Jiaer walked home again with heavy steps.

After returning home, Jiaer sat in the living room wondering if she would go back to Sai's place at night, she was afraid of being beaten again after going back.

Sai saw Jiaer's worry, "Jiaer, you can sleep here at night, I will sleep on the sofa if you sleep on the bed." At this time, Saii, who was already Jiaer, was wearing Jiaer's favorite tulle pajamas. Both legs and hands are exposed, and the hair is coiled up, looking very sexy.

"Why are you wearing such a suit..." Jia'er didn't know why she felt weird, and the fat guy under her didn't listen.

"I just found one at random. I can't be naked, right? Although this is not your body, it's still not good, right?" Saii actually thinks more about his own image. Although he is a man, he has become a man now. To become a woman, you have to think about your own image. It is not good for a girl to face a man naked, and his thoughts slowly began to change.

"Jia'er, you...could it be...feeling?"

"Nonsense! I don't think my body can feel it." Jia Er pretended to be calm and walked into the bedroom and turned on the computer to look, because the younger brother under Jia Er had grown up a lot, and she didn't want to be discovered by Sai. Laughing, it's a shame to see that her body has a physiological reaction, but she didn't notice that Sai behind her lowered her head and was trembling.

Same as yesterday, that voice appeared in Sai's head again, and he suddenly wanted to eat something, "I really want to eat serum~" The corner of Sai's mouth twitched.

After a while, Jiaer was bored looking at the webpage and was suddenly hugged from behind, "You...what are you doing?" Jiaer turned her head and saw Sai holding her from behind and rubbing her head non-stop. with.

A familiar smell came over, it was Jiaer's unique body odor mixed with the aroma produced by shampoo and body wash, this smell was only pleasant to her before, but now it smells indescribably , She smelled hot all over.

"I don't know what's going on with my body, and it's starting to feel uncomfortable again~ I really want to feel like yesterday, as if I was poisoned, I want you to give me some more serum~" Saii was like a cat at this time. Lying on Jiaer's back, his mind was blank, only a voice kept saying to him: "It's so empty~ fill me up~" That voice was like a hand, calling him in front of him , At this time, Saii felt a tingling pain, the wings and tail on the back grew out of the body, and the scene in front of him was also blurred. Now he only wanted to have the serum, and only wanted to be inserted into the body by the man's brother.

"I said, why did you grow that thing again!" Jiaer saw the tail coiled around her leg like a snake, and the barb at the tip hooked her trousers down, and after taking off the trousers Then she found that her swollen brother pushed her panties up, and Jia Er was terrified by the sight of her crotch. Just as she was about to yelp, she was kissed by someone, and she only made a whining sound.

Sai's half-closed snake-like pupils looked at him affectionately, his little tongue playfully teased Jia Er's tongue, and the two shared their saliva with each other. The hand that was kissing Sai was not idle, and slowly took off the clothes on his body, pajamas, underwear, and finally sat naked on Jia'er's thick thigh.

"It seems that your body is quite honest, "Sai", you said no, but your body told the truth for you ~ hehe~" After the two lips left, "Jiaer" showed a sly smile, and his fingers came from "Sai" was scratched from the forehead to the chest. The eyes of "Sai" gradually became dull, and the mouth opened slightly, "Jiaer, I like you so much, I really want to have sex with you..."

"Hey~ Miss Ben will satisfy your request~" Saying "Jia Er" took off the panties of "Sai" completely, and the cock like a black dragon stood up in an instant and kept shaking. "It's so excited ~ can't wait to insert it here?" "Jiaer" put one leg on the shoulder of "Sai", and used his hands to open the pink and tender pussy. At this time, the pussy is also It began to secrete traces of liquid, which was as delicate and dripping as freshly picked flowers.

"Yeah, yeah, I can't take it anymore! Jia Er, let me penetrate your body." "Sai" eyes suddenly glowed at this moment, like a wild beast, he threw "Jia Er" on the ground on the bed.

"Sai" kept kissing every part of Sai's body. He seemed like a person who had been starving for a long time and suddenly had food, devouring the carcass of the beautiful woman in front of him. Different from the dull eyes just now, the eyes of "Sai" are full of longing and passion, as well as the primitive mating desire of animals. This kind of look only appeared once, and that was in the strange dream that Sai had at that time, and the man who was exhausted in the dream also had this kind of look.

"Bad guy~ don't worry, I'll give you whatever you want~, come and satisfy me~" "Jiaer" smiled and spread her legs apart, revealing the fluffy black forest. At the same time, it was pumping and secreting lewd water.

"Sai" inserted his own poisonous dragon in one breath, and it was inserted to the bottom. "Jiaer" under him was not used to the sudden and violent thrust, and his body kept twisting, "Take it easy." ~Your cock is so thick, it's hard to **** someone's pussy so hard." "Jia Er" said pretending to be pitiful.

"I won't kill you little fairy today, let you seduce me." "Sai" lay on Jiaer's body and kept stirring in "Jiaer's" vagina, the women in the room were panting and screaming endlessly, With a muffled cry, "Sai"'s body trembled violently a few times, his eyes turned white, and he passed out on the body of "Jia Er".

"Sai" fell limply on the bed, "Jiaer" closed her eyes slightly and panted heavily, the semen in her pussy slowly flowed out of her vagina, she wiped the semen from her lower body with her fingers "Ah, I haven't tasted the essence of a man for a long time~, the taste is really good~," Cherry's small mouth greedily sucked the milky white warm viscous liquid on her fingers.

Seeing the fat guy lying next to him, "Jia Er" crawled over and lay down on his lower body. The cock was not as hard as before, but now it was semi-soft, but it was still shaking slightly, and there was still a small stream of slurry Flowing out from the small mouth, "Jia Er" held the cock in her small mouth and slowly tasted it. Gradually, "Sai"'s body softened, and his breathing became weaker and weaker.

"Ah~ I forgot that now is not the time, and his personality in the body can't be closed anymore~, just now when he was slacking off, he managed to come out to breathe~, leave the rest to him~." After saying "Jiaer", his face darkened and he passed out.

"Hey, wake up." Someone called Saii in a coma, and when he opened his eyes, it was Jia'er wearing his own skin with a flushed face. "I passed out for some reason last night, what happened?" Sai saw that it was already daytime outside, and the room was warm under the sun.

"Let's go, go to Dad." Jiaer didn't dare to say anything, as if she was **** yesterday, she could remember everything she did, but at that time her body just couldn't control her, and her mind just wanted to do this This kind of thing is so strange, is it really the reason for this human skin? "

After getting out of bed, Sai obviously felt that his body was different, his body was very comfortable, his joints were not as stiff as before, and his body seemed to be full of strength.

The two packed up and set off. After a few hours of long-distance bus ride, they arrived at Jiaer's house. Jiaer's father drove to the long-distance bus station to pick them up.

As soon as they got off the bus station, Jiaer saw his father waiting for them on the platform. How much Jiaer wanted to go up and hug his father, but suddenly Sai, who was next to her, took a step ahead of her, and trotted up to her father. Jiaer Dad looked at his daughter with a happy face, and saw that he just said hello and continued to chat with his daughter. Sai also handed his luggage to her father, and Sai and her father chatted along the way Very happy, talking about her family affairs Saii answered fluently, yes, she has her own memory, but today all these can be resolved, and her mood is getting happier as she gets closer to home.

Jiaer's family lives in a villa in the suburbs. As soon as they entered the courtyard, two shepherd dogs ran out. Jiaer quickly knelt down to greet her, but the two dogs rushed towards Sai, "edison , stan, you guys are getting fat again~, crushing me~" "Jiaer" smiled and stroked her dog, "I've had enough, I must change my identity back!" Jiaer swore silently in her heart.

Because Jiaer and Sai have always been in the same class, so Jiaer's father knows Sai, and he also knows Sai's background. He has always been friendly to Sai and never looked down on him because he is ugly and poor.

As soon as Jiaer entered the house, she felt an indescribable pain. The last time she left the house, she was not like this. This time, she became a stranger and broke into other people's homes. Looking at the familiar scene, Jiaer's expression was also very strange. Lonely, sitting alone on the sofa without saying a word, only "Jiaer" chattered around her father non-stop, and the silver bell-like laughter echoed non-stop in the spacious room.

"Dong dong, dong dong." There was a knock on the door, and Jia'er's father went out to see a few people dressed as scholars, carrying bags and suitcases, as if they had come from a long way away.

"Jia'er, don't stay in the living room anymore, take Sai to go to other places, Dad wants to talk to the uncles. We will go to the restaurant to have dinner later in the evening, and take a rest after cleaning up, that Sai, don't leave at night , go back with Jiaer tomorrow." After Jiaer's father finished speaking, he went to greet those people.

"Jiaer" led "Sai" to a house in the backyard with familiarity, "This is your father's collection room, let's go in and have a look."

"Did you bring the key?" Jia'er remembered that her father would usually lock the house, and under normal circumstances no one would be allowed to enter.

"Eh? Didn't I ask Dad for the key just now? You forgot?" "Jiaer" shook the key with a smile.

After the two entered the room, they began to look through Dad's notes and the information in the computer. This room is three stories high, or four floors to be precise, because there is a basement. The first and second floors are used for exhibitions, and the decoration is very good. The collections are placed on the booth, which is very delicate. Usually, when friends come, they will take them around. The third floor is filled with gadgets and strange things that Jiaer's father usually scavenged from everywhere. They are placed more casually, and some are simply thrown together. In the memory of Sai and Jiaer, there is no clue about the basement. The only memory is that Jiaer once asked Dad what was in the basement. Dad told her not to go in and see what was very precious and dangerous.

Seeing that the door to the basement was firmly locked by the electronic lock, Sai had **** but to look for it.

"Jia'er, why don't you tell your father about this, wouldn't it be faster if you let him look for it?" Saii thought that searching here for a long time would definitely not yield any results, how could it be so easy to find so many documents? .

"Actually, I took out this crystal ball secretly. If my father finds out, he will definitely be angry." Jiaer's thoughts went back to a few years ago.

That night a group of people came to the house, several of them were burglars, and those people wanted to enter the basement, but my father refused to tell me the password. Later, the criminals threatened my father with him, and my father told them as a last resort, but my father was also arrested by the criminals. He was stabbed several times and was taken to the hospital. The group of people left in a hurry and lost things all over the place. Many antiques were broken. Jiaer picked up a crystal ball at the time and put it in his pocket without thinking too much. Because it was too beautiful, I didn’t give it to my father. Hide in your own bedroom. It didn't take long for the case to be solved, but my father didn't care about other antiques. He kept asking the police if there was a purple crystal ball in the stolen goods. I didn't dare to say anything about the crystal ball, but when I went back to school, I was afraid that my father would find out, so I took it back to school.

Saii naturally also knew about this memory, because Jiaer was fascinated by watching the crystal ball at the time, so she didn't return the crystal ball because she was fascinated for a while, she didn't expect her father to care so much about that thing.

"Eh? Did you come to see if this is it?" Saii suddenly stopped when she heard Jia Er flipping through a book on a table not far away.

Saii walked over and saw that in front of Jiaer was a book with a black cover. It was not so much a book as it was a note. He looked closer and saw that the spread pages were full of messy words, but there was a photo attached to this page. It was the deep purple crystal ball.
