Kyoto is an inland city located in the southern part of Kyoto Prefecture in western Japan, and is the eighth most populous city in Japan. Kyoto City www.biquge.info together with the southern part of Kyoto Prefecture, the western part of Shiga Prefecture, and parts of Osaka Prefecture, the Kyoto Metropolitan Area, which has a population of about 2.56 million and is also part of the Keihanshin Metropolitan Area.

The service industry accounts for the largest proportion of Kyoto's economy, and commerce and tourism are the most developed, and its rich tourism resources are mainly concentrated in the local landscape of the ancient capital. In Kyoto alone, there are at least 19 famous temples that also produce oil-paper umbrellas and a high-quality silk textile. For many foreigners, visiting Kyoto is like stepping back in time to Japan 100 years ago.

Taking advantage of the season of November, Alice and Shiho Miyano came to Kyoto to enjoy the bright red maple leaves.

The weather was a little cool, and there was a light breeze, and the autumn leaves on the stone path were gently blown from time to time, and the maple trees on both sides were rattling incessantly. The road is sparsely populated with pedestrians, and at the end of the road is a traditional temple, and everyone here is surrounded by a tranquil atmosphere that is definitely different from that of Tokyo.

"It's really fitting that your parents chose this place for the lab." Alice sighed again: "The ancient capital of culture, the famous academic city, looking at the whole of Japan, what other city is more suitable than Kyoto?" ”

"It's just a little less far away from Tokyo, nearly 300 kilometers away, and it takes a while to take the Shinkansen."

"You're hypocritical, 300 kilometers, my dear, it's more than 500 kilometers from Los Angeles to San Jose alone. You still have the Shinkansen here as a means of transportation, and I have a lot of delay when I count the time for the plane to take off and land. ”

"Yes, yes, the United States is such a big territory~"

Miyano is dressed extremely ladylike today, with a pair of brown low-heeled leather boots, denim trousers and a beige European trench coat, and a brand-name bag in his hand. In contrast, Alice, who only wears a coat, looks much simpler, but that energetic temperament is not something Miyano can imitate casually.

The two of them came to Kyoto for a trip, thanks to the boy surnamed Ito who reminded him, but unfortunately the two girls traveled together without him. Yesterday, they had already visited the anti-cancer project laboratory set up by the Miyano couple, and Alice invested 50 million dollars in a short period of time as a division of the umbrella company. With abundant funds, it will not be difficult to recruit personnel and purchase experimental equipment, and everything will soon be on the right track.

However, although Alice has good reason to believe that the I virus can help develop specific anti-cancer drugs, and even directly make anti-AIDS drugs, now is not the time to reveal the truth to these people. The establishment of a new appointment is not a one-day or three-day work, and even if her relationship with Miyano has been heating up in the past few months, there is no reason to easily confess this kind of secret.

So the day after the visit, the two went shopping together in Kyoto City. There are so many ancient temples and shrines to visit, and November happens to be a great time to see the autumn leaves, so it's far wiser to do anything than to stick to the lab.

However, there are always some people who don't like to let others live a peaceful life.

"Wait a minute."

Alice suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

When Miyano saw her friend's expression, she felt a little uneasy in her heart, because of a very strange feeling, her hair stood up all over her body. Is it because of Alice's expression, because of her, or is there something around her that suddenly appeared, but she just discovered it in advance? In a split second, Miyano was cranky, because she could really feel the feeling of the cold hairs standing up.

"We ...... It seems that there is being tracked. ”

Alice didn't rush to release the mental power scan, but it was only the most basic state, which was enough for her to have a sensing ability far beyond ordinary people. It's not a strand, there's always a trail of things circulating around, stalking herself, and you can't be wrong, Alice thinks back, as if she had a vague sense of them for the first time...... It was when I first walked out of the hotel.

Miyano didn't know so much about the causes and consequences, but seeing that Alice's expression was very serious, she said worriedly: "Tracking? Is it a tail-lined idiot? This is a public place in broad daylight, who would be so bold? ”

"It should be...... It's a public place in broad daylight, so you can track it wantonly. ”

“…… Do you feel it? ”

Alice smiled dumbly, yes, the time of acquaintance is limited, and Miyano doesn't know his ability at all, so the relevant details really can't be explained to her. However, the feeling of being followed is really getting more and more obvious, and it seems that because they haven't been discovered all the way, the other party is a little aggressive.

"Zhibao, my Blackwater Security Company has nearly 3,000 elite soldiers at the special forces level. Trust me, that's right~"

Alice looked around, looking for someone in a less populated area than searching in an area full of people, with the same amount of difficulty. The latter certainly has too many obstacles, but if the site itself is sparsely populated and there are few targets to observe, it will certainly not be easy to find people.

didn't want to search directly by mental power, and didn't want to look around to let the other party know that he was exposed, and after a brief look, he didn't find the target, Alice took Miyano's hand and said, "Let's find a more suitable place, we should be able to hook the other party out there." ”

Miyano really can't be calm, what the hell is going on? I was walking for a good walk, but my friend suddenly said that he was being followed? Well, as an eighteen-year-old billionaire, Alice Wong does have a hundred reasons why she might be stalked, and she is involved in some big family fight? No, no, the United States is not Japan, that is, some companies want to assassinate competitors, no, no, what is prevalent in Japan is the chaebol conspiracy theory, and the United States should be the government, right?

Alice walked briskly, she didn't know that her friend was thinking about these things, but even if she knew, she would only laugh it off.

Soon, the two of them had bypassed the current path leading to the main entrance of the temple and headed for a side path. It's time for office workers to work hard, and the street isn't a frequented place for tourists, let alone a residential area, so there's hardly any one on the street. Definitely a place for tracking, and also a good place to deal with the tail man, Alice can remember the map of Kyoto clearly, even if she doesn't need to scan her mental power, she knows exactly how to go.

But Miyano can't be calm.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Are you really sure we're being followed? By whom? Could it be that you teamed up with the Yamaguchi-gumi and angered the Inagawakai? It doesn't make sense...... Is it just a simple tail man? You might as well give me an explanation. ”

"You said that you fired the second room fiercely, is it because someone hates you and wants to kidnap and ransom? On the contrary, there are more people who want to kidnap you for ransom, and it may not be easy to meet in the United States, but in Japan, it ......."

was nagged a lot, and Alice replied angrily: "It won't take another five minutes to know, what are you talking nonsense." ”

"Know...... Have you practiced martial arts? ”

Well, although I was too panicked at the moment, a girl with a high IQ is smart, and although this answer is a little far from the truth, it is just right for Alice to know what to do.

At a well-located corner, both stopped.

Miyano wasn't going to be a meat shield or a vanguard, and regardless of Alice's supposed senses, she hid far away in the middle of the road. This is a street of normal width, flanked by office buildings several stories high, this place is really good, even if Alice can't clean up the so-called tail man, as long as she yells a little, she will definitely be able to attract a lot of heroes, right?

It's quiet, the atmosphere of the old city of Kyoto is famous all over the country, and the biggest noise is just the temple work. If there really is a tail man following all the way, people with good ears may really notice it.

The two of them didn't have to wait long, and there was a sound of footsteps approaching.

Miyano raised her eyebrows, she could hear it clearly, this kind of footsteps was obviously running away, and it was definitely not what a normal person should be!

She looked at Alice, who was constantly moving her hands and ankles, and it seemed that she was really going to do a big job.

Then, quickly, three figures appeared at the same time!

Miyano: "Oh my God......"

"Bang!"

However, before she could finish her exclamation, Alice had already slapped the knife directly and slammed the neck of the first person steadily!

"Damn, she found out!"

It's actually Cantonese, Alice raised her eyebrows, and the knife in her hand was like light, and she easily knocked down the second person!

However, the third man pulled out a pistol!

It didn't work, Alice only swept his finger on his wrist, and the man suddenly felt a tingling pain in his nerves, and the pistol fell naturally, and then Alice held it in his hand.

And then the knife!

In just ten seconds, three adult men who were a head taller than the two girls were all ambushed by Alice!

"Ahhh......h Looks like it's a bit complicated......"

Alice looked at Miyano, who was stunned.

"What are you...... What's going on with us? Kidnapping? That man still has a gun? ”

Miyano was already confused by the sudden series of times, and Alice swept the three men on the floor, knocking them all unconscious with her sword.

"I want to ...... I'm a bit of an eyebrow, Shiho, help the porters, we need to interrogate them. ”

“…… What the? ”
