Chapter 7: The Listener of the Noisy City
Students like Ryu no Mine Teito who don't have make-up classes after the holidays tend to get more time off, so he decided to go out today.
At first, he also thought about inviting Masami or Anri, but on the way, he thought that they might have their own things to deal with on their days off, so he finally gave up that idea.
However, due to the fact that he had inquired about information and collected information until late at night last night, Teijin got up very late today, and it was already 10:40 when he went out.
As soon as he went out, he looked up and saw the scorching sun shining over the noisy streets of Ikebukuro, and he still longed for the city to live an extraordinary life.
That's why Tei didn't sleep until late last night, because he wanted to find the 'superpower' who helped him and Anri that day.
No, Teijin doesn't know if that person is the superpower in the movie, but since the other party used non-human power in front of his eyes, it means that he must have a very special identity.
So Teijin collected information on the Internet in his own way and found a video taken at the scene at that time.
Who was the person who shot the video? Why did you post this video? And why isn't the video complete? These are all issues that Teijin is very concerned about.
With this in mind that he wanted to express his gratitude to the person who had helped him, and at the same time wanted to bring him closer to the 'extraordinary', Teijin set out from his rental house in the morning of his break and began to wander the streets of Ikebukuro.
The seemingly peaceful Ikebukuro actually hides a lot of hidden information, and the Teito learned a lot from the retainers, and often observes the surroundings.
The one-color gangs that always roam the streets of Ikebukuro feel very dangerous, but they are not violent enough to commit crimes in public, and they all gather in different places to chat.
There seems to be chaos in the other neighborhoods again, so Teijin plans to move on that side.
"I've heard that the Headless Horseman usually appears at night."
To be precise, the chance of appearing at night is higher, so Teijin plans to come out at night to see it too.
Since many places in Ikebukuro were things that the Teijin rarely touched, he looked around with great interest, and then quickened his pace.
In the field of vision, you can see the streets that are becoming more familiar, and you can see different kinds of advertisements and beautifully dressed girls everywhere, and at the same time, sirens sound.
"Hey! This classmate! Come with us!! β
"Don't worry, we're just asking a few questions, let's go together!"
There were a lot of people and they were fast, and before Teijin could figure out the situation, a group of people who surrounded him dragged him to a nearby sparsely populated area.
Teijin looked to the left and right, and on the left was a warehouse, and on the right was a truck parked in a parking space, with a body full of boxes.
Where is this? Even if he knew the environment, Teijin, who was not very familiar with the Ikebukuro road, naturally felt doubtful.
"Hear us!? Yes?! β
Teijin looked up and saw that it was a bunch of bandaged guys.
"I was miserable by you last time!!"
"Last time?"
"Did you bastard forget when you were with your girlfriend?!"
"Ahh Is that the one...... But Sonohara-san is not my girlfriend. β
"Who cares about this!"
Teijin denied it, but the other party didn't come here to chat at all.
They were wrapped in bandages and looked like they were not lightly injured, which reminded Teijin of the scene where the 'superpowers' used the wind blast to kill them all.
"Hurry up, where is that bastard who sneaked up on us!"
"Even if you ask...... Actually, I'm looking for that person again. β
The enemy who responded like this put his hand in his pocket, and he skillfully operated the mobile phone in the pocket, intending to call the minister for help, and at the same time call the police.
"Don't play tricks!"
A young man with a bandage around his head grabbed Teijin's arm and snatched his phone and pushed him to the ground.
When his shoulder collided with the ground and the pain began, Teito began to look for the next solution.
"You think that that person is in the same faction as me, which is not the case, but I have a lot of information about that person, and I can give it to you."
"Boy, you're kidding us, aren't you?"
"Please don't be angry, I didn't mean that."
"Looks like I'm going to have to make you suffer!!"
As the bandage thugs were about to attack, a voice came from overhead.
The pitch-black locomotive leaped up from the other side, and then landed in the area where Teijin was.
The other party was also stunned for a moment when he saw the emperors and gangster youths.
Soon the thugs gave up beating the Tei and instead rushed at the black biker riders.
"Catch this guy! There is money to take a picture under the helmet!! β
Bang! Bang bang bang!!
However, the group was struck by a pitch-black shadow before they could pounce, and they flew out as if they had been impacted, slamming into the door of a nearby warehouse.
Teito rose from the ground, terrified but also glad that it was the first time he had been so close to the Headless Horseman.
Before that, he went to retrieve the phone he had left on the ground, and the screen displayed was about to call Zhengchen.
"Well, I'm not your enemy."
Teijin, who got the phone, first explained his identity, and the Headless Horseman, who heard this explanation, tilted his head, not quite understanding the reason for his words.
"Is there really no ...... under your helmet?"
Teijin wanted to ask the other party, but the Headless Horseman was already about to leave, and he saw a wriggling object on the back seat of the locomotive, was it human?
Thinking of this, the Teijin didn't ask again and again, in case it made the other party impatient, it would be troublesome.
The roar of the engine sounded again, but before the Headless Horsemann could leave, something flew by.
Wrong, not one thing, but two people, two people who fell from the sky.
As if they had suddenly appeared in the sky, they fell straight down and towards the body of the truck.
Boom...... I heard the sound of the sponge being smashed, and the things currently in the body were presumably shockproof sponges.
"It hurts, ah! Tom Senpai! You okay! β
"I almost died!!!"
"Don't worry, Tom, I'm here."
"Isn't this being knocked flying?!"
"What the hell, that guy."
Two men stood up slowly, two men.
One is a man with a reggae hair, and the other is a ...... Teito knows him, he is the 'strongest in Ikebukuro' mentioned by Masatomi, Shizuo Heiwajima.
"Huh? Headless Horseman?? β
Heiwajima looked surprised, and he dusted himself off as he and Tom left the car with him.
But the Teiren saw that the Headless Horseman was busy for a while, and quickly left the scene when the siren was approaching.
"Is that Mr. Heiwajima?"
"What for?"
Shizuo, who was looking down at the emperor, spoke very rudely, and Tom, who was on the side, immediately spoke out a lesson.
"Don't scare people, we're not bullies."
"Got the senior, the student, what's the matter with you?"
Looking at the scene in front of him, the emperor didn't think too much about it, and asked directly
"How did you two fly here......?"
"Of course it was knocked off."
Regarding Teijin's question, Shizuo also immediately gave an answer.
"Knocked ...... fly"
Teito didn't know much about it, but once again he knew what was special about Ikebukuro.
ββββ
"What are we going to do?"
Gu Wu stared at the box in front of him, he was the only one here.
Not long ago, when he left the scene with Kasumigaoka and Eiri Riri, he was followed by two people, they were Tanaka Tom and Shizuo Shima.
So Gu Wu first asked the two girls to wait for him at the aquarium, while he himself stayed at the scene.
Originally, neither Kasumigaoka nor Ying Lili planned to leave, but Gu Wu said that they would catch up within a few minutes, and there was no need to act together all the time.
Then judging from the situation at the scene, Gu Wu thought that Tom and Shizuo were both eyeing the box, and of course he had no intention of handing it over to the other party, after all, there might be something in Kasumigaoka.
"Don't worry, even if you don't let those two girls go, we won't hurt them; As for now...... That box is something that the guy left behind, and he owes us money, so you're going to give it to us. β
Tom's words made a lot of sense, which made Gu Wu decide to open the box and see what was inside.
However, before he could force open the lockbox, the police appeared at the street entrance behind and were rushing towards it.
"Shizuo! Over to you! β
It is estimated that he didn't intend to waste time, and the moment he saw the police, Tom asked Shizuo to rob him directly.
Ikebukuro rushed towards him as the strongest, and Gu Wu used his ability while running with the box.
This time, he summoned Altair, the clone who would obey any orders he had.
"Fly them all without threatening their lives."
The translucent spirit character then attacked.
Altair, a replica of the form, evokes violent winds that send everyone including Shizuo into the air, and then the chaotic air currents suddenly change direction, sending everyone in mid-air flying to different places.
Ten seconds was enough time for the copied AltaΓ―r to complete Gu Wu's instructions, and after that, he began to speed up, and with the last two seconds left, Gu Wu let AltaΓ―r open the lockbox in his hand.
The moment the box was cut, AltaΓ―r disappeared, and Gu Wu moved to a relatively safe place.
This is the back of a building, and there is a path between it and the residential area, where Gu Wu opened the box.
The lock of the lockbox had been broken, and Gu Wu, who had opened it, saw what was inside.
There is a wallet, and when I take it out, I see that it contains a certificate of Kasumigaoka and a card with a different function.
In fact, the most important thing is not this, but a bag of white powder.
I picked up the powder and opened it, and it smelled, it wasn't like sugar, it wasn't flour, so what was it?
If it's contraband...... Gu Wu himself didn't know much about this issue, so he stared at the box and put it away and decided to bury it on the spot.
"All in all, Kasumigaoka's wallet has been recovered."
Gu Wu, who had gained something, didn't pursue too much, and planned to go to meet the two girls first.
ββββ
On a taxi in Ikebukuro, Orihara Lin, who was sitting in the back seat and raised the corners of his mouth, also laughed.
Luckily, he ran into an 'anomaly' that day, so he planned to give it a little bit of a boost and stir up the increasingly peaceful and boring Ikebukuro.
Lin also quickly laughed out loud, staring at the screen of his phone, which was playing like a CG movie.
The driver of the car asked in confusion as he faced a smiling passenger
"Guest, this is a good thing? Went hiking before, right? There's some dirt on your feet. β
"yes, yes, that's it, but sorry for getting the car dirty."
Lin also nodded in agreement, he had no negative thoughts at all.
"Don't worry, where are you going?"
"Where to go? Let's go to the nearest station. β
Lin, who casually said a destination, also turned off his mobile phone, and his smile never dissipated.
"What's next?"
Ikebukuro's intelligence traffickers are also busy today.
ββββ
Gu Wu, who arrived at the aquarium, found the two girls as soon as possible.
The black-haired lady and the blonde double ponytail have a very strong presence wherever they are.
"Has the problem been solved?"
The expression on Kasumigaoka's face was not worried, but it was very concerned.
"Only got this back."
"Wallet? Thank you, this is the most important thing to me. β
Xia Zhiqiu, who took the wallet from Gu Wu's hand, looked a lot more relieved.
"And what did you do with that box?"
After all, it was snatched from the police, and Ying Li Li said that she wanted to know.
"I'm going to hand it over to the police later, and the other troublemakers are taken care of, so don't worry about anything."
Gu Wu didn't come here this time to do something, but to travel here.
Now that the three of them have converged, they should walk towards the front gate of the aquarium together.
Three tickets were purchased at the side ticket office, and the three of them went in and began to follow the large group inside.
At first, the passage was not very large, but once you passed through it, the view suddenly widened, and the fun of the aquarium slowly became apparent.
Gu Wu wasn't very interested in the aquarium, but he had come here, and it would be good to see these creatures that could only be seen on TV.
When Kasumigaoka said to continue walking inside, Ying Lili and Gu Wu saw an 'inherent' incident.
A young girl was accosted by two young men.
Gu Wu and Ying Lili glanced at each other, and before leaving with Kasumigaoka, they took action together.
However, when he walked over, Gu Wu noticed that the girl who was accosted was none other than Anri Sonohara.
The cascading accidents will turn into inevitable, maybe this trip will not be as 'no waves' as Gu Wu imagined, because the protagonists are all 'dangerous'.
