Chapter 3 The Ikebukuro trio is very normal (?) )
In fact, unless a person's strength is strong to a certain extent, it will not be able to change some thorny problems at all.
In ancient warfare, more than 70 percent of the soldiers would die from bows and arrows and catapults, while the remaining 30 percent would fight each other in chaos, and even skilled generals would not survive the chaos.
As for the modern confrontation, especially in the turbulent era, it is said that it takes about 10,000 rounds of bullets to kill an enemy, and you can imagine how difficult it is to knock down an opponent.
The reason why I mention this is because Gu Wu, who is currently in Ikebukuro, does not have other abilities that can be used in combat except for summoning the artist's replica, which means that he must act carefully.
But fortunately, this is a modern city, whether it's a human-loving intelligence dealer or Ikebukuro's strongest debt collector bartender, as long as you don't get involved with them, there's no problem.
Even in a city with such an abnormal, weird, and legendary [Headless Horseman], there are still many ordinary people who live here well.
Normal people are always in the majority, and abnormal people are always in the minority, which makes sense in any world, unless there are some planes with very strange worldviews......
Of course, since Kasumigaoka and Eiri are here, they have to be prevented from getting into trouble.
Now Gu Wu thinks that the thing he has to deal with is the incident of the robbery of the Kasumigaoka package, in addition to asking the police, Gu Wu also wants to try to help Kasumigaoka find the lost property in his own way, and before that, he naturally wants to meet with them.
On the way, Gu Wu thought about it, he thought that the chance of finding a lost item in this chaotic Ikebukuro was very low, after all, the snatcher might have left here.
Perpetrator...... Gu Wu didn't have a good impression of this kind of person, but he didn't think their approach was unreasonable.
Dogs will jump over the wall when they are in a hurry, not to mention that humans who are in some kind of crisis must also make such extreme moves.
Fortunately, Kasumigaoka and Ying Lili are fine, and the loss of money is not a problem, the real problem is the next life.
Traveling with two girls in Ikebukuro, I always feel very tricky......
This kind of 'tricky' is not because he doesn't get along well with them, but because Gu Wu thinks that his interests may not necessarily be the same as them.
But Gu Wu thought about it again, Kasumigaoka is a family, Yingli is a fanfiction painter, and to some extent, they can still get along in harmony, at least it is easier to understand each other than ordinary girls, after all, they both have a bit of a home.
While waiting for the taxi on the platform, I heard the sound of two young men with backpacks and sportswear, who looked a bit like high school students, but college students were more likely.
The short-haired man on the left patted the long-haired man on the shoulder, and the smartphone he held in his right hand was glowing blindly.
"Look, look, this forum has already posted relevant information, woo wow! Pictures are also available! Pure black knight! This is the Headless Horseman of Ikebukuro! ”
The long-haired man, who heard the explanation, looked over, and then recalled what he had seen.
"It is said that the man has a head under the peeping, but it is very scary."
"Really? Actually, I'm still a little bit unconvinced...... After all, a knight without a head, if you really want to see it for yourself if you have the chance, it's best to take off the safety helmet!! ”
"Idiot, think too much."
At this time, the short-haired man lowered his volume as if he remembered something, but Gu Wu still heard the general content.
"When it comes to terrifying things, except for the Ducolor Gang, which has recently become active again, some people say that Su Nan will be looking for someone recently, so it's best not to act at night."
"Where did you get this information?"
Asked by his friend the long-haired man, the short-haired man showed a proud expression.
"Just search on the Internet and use some special methods!"
Will the Headless Horseman and Su Nan know, these two Gu Wu know that he doesn't plan to contact it, as long as he avoids it, it's no problem.
The taxi soon appeared, and after Gu Wu got in the car, he said that he was going to the nearest police station, and decided to meet with Xia Zhiqiu and them first.
Soon Gu Wu arrived at his destination, and the police station in Ikebukuro also looked very lively, and it was estimated that there were often some disputes and minor accidents.
Sirens could be heard faintly in the distance, and it seemed that something was wrong.
After paying the money, Gu Wu, who got out of the car, walked to the police station, and when he was about to talk to the receptionist at the counter, a familiar voice came from the right side.
"Mr. Gu Wu, over here."
"Really, the man should have arrived thirty minutes early."
Thirty minutes in advance or something.,It's not a shoujo comic.。
Gu Wu walked over with a wry smile, and Xia Zhiqiu and Ying Lili were sitting on a sofa waiting.
When he walked over, Gu Wu passed by a man in a suit, and the other party looked a little unhappy, and it was estimated that it would be very troublesome if he bumped into it......
Immediately afterwards, Gu Wu sat down in front of the two girls.
"What happened, exactly?"
Kasumigaoka let out a heavy sigh with a troubled expression.
"Although I didn't bring too many clothes this time, the light red package contained a wallet and a manuscript containing bank cards and other things, and although the manuscript was a copy, I hope to be able to get it back."
"It's good that I didn't put my phone in it."
Instead of gloating, Ying Li Li started thinking from the good side.
"Because it was going to be used to contact Mr. Gu Wu, I took it out, but because of the sudden robbery, I chased it over, and in the end it was like this."
The ins and outs were simple and straightforward, Gu Wu thought about it.
"So what did the police say? Waiting to be contacted before finding? ”
Gu Wu's question made the two girls look at each other, and it seemed that this was the case.
Once such a situation occurs, it is likely that it will not be recovered, or it will take a long time.
This is not actually incompetent, in most countries it is similar, there will be multiple incidents in a day, and the incidents will naturally be severe, and cases with high theft and intentional injury will be dealt with in advance.
There is no balance between the police manpower and the incident, and it has basically been in a situation where there are fewer people and more things, as Gu Wu's relative who is a police officer said.
The loss of a mobile phone or a bicycle is clear compared to the stabbing of someone and the robbery of the store, after all, it is not a first-come, first-served rule.
"Then we have to wait for a while, I still have enough money here, let's go and rest first."
"Also, I was thinking of collecting some raw materials for the cityscape in Ikebukuro, but now I'm going to forget it."
Eriri stood up from her position, and seeing that Kasumigaoka was not following along, she reached out and pulled her from her position to the top of the hallway.
"It's okay, Kasumigaoka senior, you can definitely get it back."
"What a bad luck ......"
"Now that Lun is making up for the lesson, let's have a good time, the lost package will definitely be found soon."
"It's really time to adjust your mood, Mr. Gu Wu, please take care of the new work."
Gu Wu nodded, and left the police station with them.
At 8:20 p.m., the bustling Ikebukuro has never cooled down, and you can see people everywhere, except in the middle of the night.
————
"It's a great place to shoot, and there are stories about Ikebukuro in movies and anime."
Kasumigaoka strolled through the streets, and she said the above words as she looked around.
"This gorgeous street scene can be simplified as a background image, the shiny kind."
"But what the hell was going on? Sawamura-san, too, saw it. ”
"That's the black biker who was being hunted by a lot of police?"
Hearing the conversation between the two girls, Gu Wu knew that they had not investigated because they had encountered a robbery, so he opened his mouth to popularize science.
"The person who was chased by a large number of traffic police is Ikebukuro's famous urban legend 'Headless Horseman', which can also be said to be a living urban legend."
"Headless Horseman ......"
Kasumigaoka, who gently pressed his hand against his chin, thought of something.
"It's not like I haven't considered fantasy series before, I remember that the Headless Horseman, that is, Durahan is a monster without a head in Irish legends, and his appearance is like death to herald death, which can be said to be an ominous existence."
"That's it, but it's a little different from the legend."
"It's not different, it's completely different, right? The real Headless Horseman is armed with a scythe, a skull in his armpits, and has an ugly appearance, but isn't that 'Headless Horseman' a simple motorcycle rider? Or is the legend of the Headless Horseman modernized with the progress of the times? ”
"That's a high possibility.,And don't many works have monsters that are cute.、Specialized content?"
"I can't deny it, I'd love to see him under his helmet if I could."
Kasumigaoka became interested in the urban legends of Ikebukuro.
"I think it's better not to get close, this Miss Headless Horseman from Ikebukuro is a very special existence."
"Headless Horseman...... Miss? Mr. Gu Wu, what do you know? ”
"I've heard that, I heard such speculation when I came, but the Headless Horseman can be a man or a woman."
"That's true, no matter what, I still want to meet, a living urban legend......"
Since it was Gu Wu and Xia Zhiqiu who were talking all the time, Ying Lili, who couldn't interject, ran between the two.
The blonde girl crossed her hands on her hips.
"It's rude to leave someone aside!"
"Ahla~ Sawamura-san, it turns out that you are here too."
"It's always been there!"
"Yes, I forgot about it for a moment."
"You did it on purpose!"
Such a change is exactly what Gu Wu wants to see, at least it proves that the two of them have recovered from the impression of robbery.
After all, even if something is lost, there is no way to be in a hurry.
"Speaking of which, where has Mr. Gu Wu been recently? I've done a lot of work. ”
"After a long trip, we can probably meet more often after that."
"Then please take care of me!"
Ying Li Li said the same words as Kasumigaoka, and she still looked so lively.
Next, Gu Wu took them to find a Japanese-style hotel with a hot spring, and the wind is not the point, the real focus is the hot spring.
Regardless of whether the hot springs are real or not, the beauty of the open-air hot springs lies in the sense of openness, and at the same time, you can relax and relax!
"Do you need one room or two?"
"It's okay for the two of you to live together, right? Or is it separated? ”
Facing the usher's question, Gu Wu followed and asked the two people around him.
Gu Wuke didn't have the idea of sleeping with them, and he didn't have to think about it to know that he would be regarded as a pervert.
"I'm okay with saving, what about Sawamura-san?"
"No problem."
That's two rooms.
After paying and getting the house number of the room, the three of them walked to the room on the second floor under the hospitality of the clerk.
I don't know if it's to take care of female customers, Kasumigaoka and Yingli Li's rooms are on the left side of the stairs, and Gu Wu is on the right side of the stairs.
"Mr. Gu Wu, see you later."
"Kasumigaoka-senpai, you can see the night view from here."
It seemed that the two of them were fine, Gu Wu smiled and parted with them and walked towards his room.
The location of the hotel is very close to the residential area, and if you stay in the room and look out of the window, you can see the residential park immersed in the moonlight and lights, and once you leave the room and go out into the corridor, you can see the bustling city beyond the courtyard and walls.
Although the price is a bit high, it is still within the affordable range.
Gu Wu, who stayed in the room, quickly prepared to take a bath, took the yukata prepared in the room, and then brought his mobile phone, his idea was very simple, that is, to see if he could collect information from [DOLLARS].
DOLLARS is an anonymous organization that anyone can join, and the base of personnel is quite large, and there will be many channels for obtaining natural information.
"Good evening."
"Ah, good evening."
Because the old man passing by greeted him, Gu Wu hurriedly responded.
Seeing the old man leave, Gu Wu, who withdrew his gaze, put his mobile phone into a transparent bag and continued to move towards the open-air hot spring.
After taking a bath and rinsing it off, he entered the steaming hot spring, and the warm spring water surrounded his whole body in an instant, relieving Gu Wu's fatigue.
Immediately after that, he started using his mobile phone and searched for [DOLLARS] forums on the Internet, which were easy to find because they were not a secret organization.
As soon as I opened the forum, a lot of information appeared in it.
- Wang in boots: Today I saw a few people being beaten up, just in Nishiikebukuro.
- Lilikos: Does anyone want to travel?
- Iekaku: My daughter is so cute!!
- The Horseman with a Head: I'm lucky to have met the Headless Horseman again today!
It didn't seem to have any useful information, Gu Wu, who was thinking like this, was ready to ask if this group of people had seen a person holding a light red package.
Wait, the light red package? I seem to have encountered ...... today!
At this time, a person suddenly posted a link with the title "Ikebukuro's New Superpower! So the curious Gu Wu clicked in.
“TF???!?!?”
The person in the picture is himself, and he is using an extremely fast translucent body to ram the bad groups in the alley, defeating them together.
"Mr. Gu Wu?"
The people on the other side heard Gu Wu's roar, and it seemed that it was Xia Zhiqiu and Ying Lili.
"Nothing, don't care."
Gu Wu stared at the video in front of him that he called himself a 'superpower', it seemed that there were other people at the scene at the time, but it was normal to think about it.
"There are so many troublemakers."
Gu Wu, who complained like this again, sighed and left the word 'liar' at the bottom of the video.
