Chapter 16: Mission Accomplished
After a joint operation, everyone also seemed less restrained.
A young police officer actually asked directly: "I wonder what kind of amazing goods are in these boxes, which can attract such a powerful enemy." ”
"Don't ask what you shouldn't." At this time, someone kindly reminded me.
"I didn't say I was going to open the box, I just thought it was a little weird." The man replied.
……
Others, you and I chatted lively, but Hinata Nagashima was already in thought.
Not long ago, he had seen the goods in their true form, and now that he remembered that image, he still felt uncomfortable.
A section of a man's arm, severed from the shoulder, is well preserved and alive.
Although there are many wonders in the world of heroes, this batch of goods is too out of the ordinary.
Nagashima guessed that there was also a box of the same shape, most likely with another arm inside.
But with that square box, Long Island had no clue at all.
He thought about it, but swallowed these things into his stomach and simply didn't say it.
The rest of the journey was smooth and the convoy arrived at its destination in no time.
At the National Research Institute, all the vehicles lined up in the courtyard, and only the No. 9 vehicle, where Long Island was located, slowly drove into the underground emergency garage.
In addition to the staff of the research institute, there were also police officers Naomasa Tsukauchi and a female subordinate.
The woman was dressed in a formal suit, with a simple single ponytail, she was not very old, but she was shrewd and capable, and Tsukauchi always called her Ms. Haruno.
Nagashima looked at Ormet's best friend, standing in front of him with thick eyebrows, but suddenly felt a little unreal.
At this time, Ms. Haruno and a group of staff slowly stepped forward to officially start the handover process of goods.
Two boxes and one box were carefully moved out.
The staff of the research institute was about to take it, but was stopped by the lady Haruno raising her hand.
Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she stared at the goods round and round, then moved to Tsukauchi's side and said, "Report to Mr. Tsukauchi, the barrier on the surface of the container has been destroyed. ”
Only then did Hinata Nagashima realize that the faint luster on the surface of those containers was an enchantment laid by someone in advance.
Tsukauchi was also stunned after hearing this, and then looked at Ekishute, as if waiting for an answer.
Agehut had been busy fighting, and he knew nothing about the goods.
Nagashima took the initiative to step forward and said: "In today's battle, the No. 9 vehicle was besieged by the enemy, and the goods were closely protected by me, but unfortunately, the container was still injured by the enemy's weapon, so it led to the destruction of the barrier. ”
Nagashima hesitated for a moment before continuing: "Only the ninth carriage is genuine, but Mr. Ageshut doesn't know about it, he has been guarding the entire convoy and has been distracted, so if you want to blame, you can only blame me for my dereliction of duty, I am willing to accept any punishment, and it has nothing to do with other personnel." ”
Akishut was about to say something, but Lady Haruno preemptively said, "No, it has nothing to do with dereliction of duty and punishment, today's situation is not so simple. ”
"What do you mean?" Tsukauchi asked succinctly.
"The barrier on the surface of the container opens from the inside to the outside." Haruno responded.
Tsukauchi's expression seemed to be surprised, and then he turned to the crowd: "Did any strange phenomena happen during the battle?" ”
Hearing this, Nagashima immediately thought about it.
It's unclear what it means for the barrier to open from within, but as for the strange phenomenon, it's all too obvious.
He quickly remembered the hallucinations and the strange sounds at the end of the battle.
But there was a strong instinct that told him that these things could not be easily spoken.
Thinking of this, Nagashima hurriedly glanced at the envoy.
But he saw the other party holding a gold chain in one hand and playing with the paint watch in the other, with an innocent face, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
Long Island has already thrown himself into the ground, this scheming boy, pretending to be an idiot, is so similar, he is definitely acting in his true colors.
After a few seconds, no one responded, and Mr. Tsukauchi did not continue to embarrass everyone.
So they exchanged politeness, and the two sides said goodbye.
In a police car, everyone was taken back to the office.
As soon as they entered the door, everyone began to talk about the identity of the enemy and the transportation of goods.
There are many attentive members among them, and occasionally mention Nagashima and Xincao.
"Those two part-time workers seem to be a bit strong."
"If I'm not mistaken, they've taken out at least two very tricky enemies."
"You won't fail to notice that the two of them brought the bubbles that seriously injured the enemy in the end."
……
The sound of discussion here was faintly heard in the dressing room across the hallway.
Nagashima was covered in dirt, so he had to change into a temporary uniform from the office in the locker room.
Behind him, the heart-wrenching envoy said softly: "Although I don't care about other people's eyes, can't those seniors praise people louder?" ”
"Please, you've contradicted yourself." Hinata Nagashima smiled.
"Huh? Don't move yet! The heart-wrenching messenger quickly leaned over.
"What's wrong? Can I help you? Nagashima had just stuffed his old clothes into his backpack and was about to change into a brand new uniform.
"Do you often wear that, sleeveless T-shirt?" The heart-wrenching envoy asked.
Nagashima recalls for a moment: "Well...... I really haven't worn it, why are you asking this all of a sudden? ”
"Haven't you been aware of it all this time?" The heart messenger pointed to Long Island's back: "The skin color of your body is completely different from the color of your two arms, okay?" What other clothes can tan your arms like this but that sleeveless T-shirt? ”
There was no result in a discussion, and the heart was about to leave.
Before leaving, he added listlessly: "Although I am a boy, I have to take care of it occasionally." ”
……
The locker room was quiet, and Nagashima was alone.
In this world, he has lived for nearly a year, and he has been concentrating on exercise, but he has never observed this body.
At this moment, he stood in front of the mirror and looked left and right.
A blue-white body, a blue-white neck, and a blue-white face, but with two brown-yellow arms.
As the messenger said, the difference in color is surprisingly large.
Nagashima leaned closer to the mirror to take a closer look, and the sight that caught his eye made him slightly shocked.
The dividing line between these two skin tones is so clearly located near the shoulders.
He took a step back, his body was already covered in a layer of cold sweat, and the reflection in the mirror naturally reminded him of the goods in the container.
It is also bluish and white skin, which is just broken off from the shoulder.
He forced himself to smile: "What! It's just a coincidence! Then he put on his makeshift uniform.
The process of returning home can be described as a hundred thousand urgent, because he can't imagine what kind of basket the two cerebellums hidden in the room have poked out for him.
After passing the food court, he hastily bought a few meals and then transferred to the convenience store downstairs of the apartment, wondering if the two little ones would like any toys.
Next to the toy shelf, a boy a few years younger than him stood in the aisle.
Wearing a huge headset on his head, a mask on his face, and a touchscreen toy in his hand: "Report, target appears, target is infinitely close, and the dimensional interface fluctuates significantly......"
Long Island couldn't help but laugh secretly, it's really a second year of middle school, and there are a lot of them this year.
Then he patted the other party on the shoulder: "Sorry kid, can I go over here?" ”
