Chapter 11: The Attacker on a Cold Moonlit Night (Part II)
[Did you hear that?] Shizuo Hiwashima was beaten up! 】
[Beaten up? I've heard people say that they were taught a lesson by the Headless Horseman. 】
[Isn't it so hard to get involved with those police in Ikebukuro? What a scary guy. 】
[My daughter is so cute! I'm going to go to the aquarium today!! 】
Log in to Dollars' website with his mobile phone and see if there is any information on it that can help him as before, but most of the content is not of much meaning, so Gu Wu can only put down his mobile phone, pack his clothes and plan to take a shower.
Gu Wu thinks that Dollars is a website that can reverse the current situation, after all, there are many members who have joined Dollars, whether they are students, housewives, workers, or office workers, they will always send out some insights, maybe Gu Wu can just see useful content.
However, even if the base is large, some things cannot be learned on the Internet, so Gu Wu has given up on using the website Dollars to figure out the current situation.
However, it is certain that the person who photographed himself twice in a row must be a member of Dollars, so does the Ryu no Mine Teito who created Dollars have the ability to find out the true identity of the other party?
But Dollars is originally a non-real-name website, even if you ask for help from Ryu Zhifeng Emperor, I'm afraid it won't have much effect.
Gu Wu, who thought of this, heard a knock on the door, so he went to the entrance to open the door, and standing outside the door were two young girls who had just taken a bath, which could be easily judged from the clothes and smell on their bodies.
Faced with the sudden visit of Kasumigaoka and Ying Lili, Gu Wu had nothing to hide, after all, there was only beer left in the room except for his clothes......
Kasumigaoka, who came first, was carrying a snack in his hand, and Yingli Lili, who came in later, was holding a large bottle of drink, and it seemed that she had come here to play.
"Mr. Gu Wu, I forgot to give you this dessert just now, anyway, it's still early, let's eat some together."
"This is the black tea I just bought at the convenience store! That's right! The old man and grandmother next door also gave us a box of senbei! ”
Ying Li Li raised the thing in her hand.
"So, Sawamura-san, do you have any thanks?"
"It's all said, don't treat people like children."
"What about children......
"Where are you looking?"
Holding her chest, Ying Lili put the black tea and senbei on the low table near the windowsill, and sat down on the cushion next to her.
Kasumigaoka then put the dessert aside, and she glanced at the sky outside the window, it was dusk, and she could still feel the sunset shining from the west.
"Actually, there is one thing I want to ask Mr. Gu Wu, please rest assured, it's not a problem at work, because I find that relaxation requires good relaxation."
Speaking of this, Kasumigaoka took out his mobile phone, and Yingli Li, who was on the side, also leaned over at this time.
The atmosphere was a little serious, so Gu Wu took out a can of beer, but after thinking about it, he put it back on the low table, after all, he still had to eat dessert and drink black tea, so it was not good to drink up the beer here.
When Gu Wu expressed concern about these details, Xia Zhiqiu began to manipulate his mobile phone, and Ying Lili also came over.
The eyes of the two girls fell on the screen of their phones, and soon Kasumigaoka put her phone on the ground.
"Didn't you hear that there is a Headless Horseman in Ikebukuro when you came here before? It's just that now it seems that Mr. Gu Wu is more famous, and the video I saw not long ago still has this video...... Sure enough, it's all Mr. Gu Wu, right? ”
Judging from Xia Zhiqiu's speech, Gu Wu didn't need to watch the content of the video to know what she was talking about.
The two of them had interested expressions on their faces, trying to figure out what the reason was for this, and what was Gu Wu's true identity.
Of course, Gu Wu had no intention of lying, because ......
"Although I will be regarded as a fool by you, I am actually a superpower, with powers that humans do not have, and you all of you who have seen the movie know it."
Hearing Gu Wu's truth, Xia Zhiqiu and Ying Lili were silent for a moment, and then looked at each other and smiled.
"Mr. Gu Wu, such a simple lie doesn't work, this shouldn't be an entertainment video that you have teamed up with someone, right?"
"Kasumigaoka-senpai is right, it's just ...... We were indeed being chased by two strange guys and a bunch of cops that day, and no matter how you think about it, the image in the second video will not appear. ”
Ying Li Li also agrees with Kasumigaoka's speculation, but the second video is obviously not as simple as CG processing.
After all, the two girls were also on the scene at the time, even if they left before the battle began, but they knew that those people were real and not CG characters.
"That's it...... Actually, it was just an accident, and the people who were chasing us were not sent flying by me, but by another person. ”
"Another person? Translucent objects that look like special effects in the video? ”
"No, I think it's just a CG picture."
Hearing Xia Zhiqiu's inquiry, Gu Wu began to follow their speeches to talk, and for a while, it was obviously useless to directly tell them that he was a superpower and a traverser.
"As you said before, there is a very popular urban legend in Ikebukuro that is the 'Headless Horseman', and when I came to Ikebukuro again, I did my research and found that the headless horseman is very credible."
"Wait, does that comic stuff really exist?"
The person who opposes it is Ying Lili, as a painter, she believes that characters are just characters, and they will not become reality.
It's good, the topic is completely biased...... This is the effect that Gu Wu wants.
"So how do you explain the video just now? What does Mr. Gu Wu mean is that all this was done by the Headless Horseman? ”
"That's right."
Although the topic was pulled back by Kasumigaoka, they obviously fell into a deep pit, and their question shifted from 'Gu Wu's superpowers' to 'whether the headless horseman can do it'.
Then, before Gu Wu could speak, Kasumigaoka opened the bag containing desserts, and Ying Lili also prepared the tea, using the teacups in the room.
It's like a story......
Gu Wu, who smiled wryly, took the teacup that Ying Li Li handed to him, and then picked up a pastry recommended by Kasumigaoka.
Usually, Gu Wu doesn't like sweets very much, even if it is sweet rice balls, he will put chili peppers in them, but now the direction of bean cake with black tea is okay, and it is even better if there are peanuts and melon seeds.
"The Headless Horseman is a little different from what you think, his existence is not just about announcing death and taking people's lives."
"It seems that there are other abilities, just like comics."
Ying Lili, who was holding a black tea cup, said this and picked up a pastry at the same time.
"If that supernatural creature really existed, I think it would have been broadcast nationally a long time ago."
"Kasumigaoka-san, it's because it's a supernatural creature that it won't be broadcast nationwide."
If there really is an alien invasion on Earth, will all the governments of various countries announce it? Apparently not.
Gu Wu's statement had a certain amount of truth, and the two people in front of him couldn't refute it.
However, Gu Wu didn't say this just to argue with them.
"If you can, check it with your own eyes and see what kind of 'world' this Ikebukuro is."
After eating two more pastries, Gu Wu got up and planned to take a bath.
On the way, he noticed that Ying Li Li had been staring at the beer, so he took the two cans of beer in his hand together.
"Woo! Let me taste it. ”
"How can this work, you're still a child."
When Gu Wu said this, Xia Zhiqiu also nodded on the side.
"Kasumigaoka-san, you too, you can't drink."
Gu Wuke, who was holding a beer, didn't want the two of them to drink, and minors weren't allowed to drink.
If Gu Wu had children in the future, he would not let them drink and smoke before they became adults, and only alcohol had a little benefit from these two things, and smoking was not a good thing.
"You two remember to go back, and you just have to close the door."
"Stingy!"
"Yes yes yes ......"
Without continuing to entangle with Ying Lili, Gu Wu began to move towards the first floor.
On the way, he left two cans of beer at the front desk where the proprietress was, and went to the open-air bath himself.
After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Gu Wu, who was refreshed, was about to go back, but the mobile phone in the waterproof bag suddenly vibrate.
[Hello, first time meeting, I'm Orihara Rinya. 】
"This guy ......"
Sure enough, it's this person!
But how to say it, Gu Wu is not too surprised, the person who likes to do things in Ikebukuro the most is none other than Orihara Lin.
How did he get his email ID? From the hostess? From within a system? From someone you know? Still is......
There are many possibilities, after all, Orihara Pro also has a lot of means to gather intelligence.
Soon the second message was sent to Gu Wu's mobile phone.
[Is that box important to you?] Actually, it's not important to you, it's important to others, you, but you're stealing other people's things. 】
Are you talking about Shizuo Heiwajima?
No matter what, Gu Wu wanted to see Orihara Linya, not for the box, but to get him not to do things and teach him a lesson.
[It's half past seven in the evening, so let's meet at Ikebukuro East Exit Station at nine o'clock.] 】
What if you lie to me? 】
[Actually, it's not just me who is looking for you, but other people. 】
What do you mean? 】
[Come and know.] 】
Facing Orihara Linya's 'invitation', Gu Wu planned to meet him for a while and let him settle down.
Before leaving, Gu Wu told Kasumigaoka and Yingli not to go out, but they were 'Aren't you going out?' 'I came back......
However, the last two girls said that they had no plans to go out at night, and they still had to prepare for tomorrow, and they were already very tired today.
Coming to the exit of the hotel, Gu Wu saw the two old men who had met in the restaurant last time, and they were currently planning to leave by car.
"Good evening, young man, where is this going?"
"Good evening, my words...... I am currently planning to go to the East Exit Station. ”
"Yo, that's right, let's come along, our destination is also there."
Gu Wu, who was greeted by the old man, wanted to refuse, but at this time, the old grandmother on the side had already taken out a fruit.
"Get in the car, we have delicious food here, don't be shy."
Facing the enthusiastic two, Gu Wu thought about it, anyway, by the way, it should be fine.
It seemed to be their son who was driving, so they also said hello and prepared to rush with them to the East Exit Station.
I want to ask Gu Wu why he went over in advance......
Of course, it was to catch that guy in Orihara in advance, maybe he's wandering around there now, waiting for the right time.
————
There was a tavern on the right side of the hotel where Gu Wu and the others lived, and on the roof of this tavern, staring at the vehicles that gradually disappeared from view, the man wearing sunglasses smiled.
"It's a coincidence, I was going to catch that guy alone."
"Brother Chilin, what now?"
"If that guy really has the ability to beat Shizuo Hewajima and so many cops to the air, it means that he is not an easy person to deal with, before he comes back, ask the two little girls who just went to his room, remember, don't hurt them."
The man's name is Akabayashi Haiyue, and he hates drugs, and he plans to retrieve the betrayer's box, because most of them contain those things.
Chi Lin likes to start with the things around him, and he prefers to solve these troubles quickly rather than running around.
"In case those little girls know anything, they won't have to go to great lengths to fight against the so-called 'new urban legend', well~ I'm looking forward to it."
"It's not fun, Brother Chilin, the president said that this problem should be solved immediately, otherwise there will be conflicts."
"Don't talk nonsense, do it quickly."
"Yes!"
So the people who were watching the hotel just now moved.
Akabayashi, who was alone on the roof of the building, took out his mobile phone, and he glanced at the video that Orihara had sent to him again.
"Flying Shizuo Heiwajima and getting a group of policemen, it's like a movie, when did Ikebukuro become like this?"
Chilin, who laughed, was very interested, but when he put away his phone, he saw a figure appearing below.
Why is she here?
Or is it really coming?
————
Something had to be done, and Anri Sonohara, who was thinking so, changed her clothes and put on a jacket with a hood, and she took a taxi to her destination.
After checking it carefully, they found that the hotel not far away was the hotel they told them, and the address was correct.
The sight I felt this afternoon was always very worrying, so Anri came here.
If you tell them these things, will they believe them? What if it's your own delusions and worries?
Anri, who was holding her mobile phone, made a decision, planning to contact Kasumigaoka and Eiri first.
Unlock the lock and find the contact, but before she can send a text message, Anri is startled by the sound behind her.
"Yo, good evening, I was caught by the police but I was going to be arrested for guidance."
"Mr. Chilin."
Anri stopped moving, lost in thought.
