Chapter 12: Martial Arts Kirishima
The security guards immediately surrounded them, but to their surprise, the three security guards were easily knocked to the ground.
Shen Tangzhi's eyes narrowed slightly: "These guys seem to be some practitioners......"
"Don't worry, leave it all to me!" Kirishima patted his chest and shoved the small satchel on his shoulder into my hand, "Mr. Yoshimitsu, please help me get the bag." β
As he spoke, Kirishima walked towards the troublemakers: "Well, I haven't been in a fight for a long time, and my hands are really a little itchy......"
As she spoke, she turned her wrist and her bones made a slight "click" sound.
"Wait! You-"
"Let her go, it'll be fine."
Shen Tangzhi grabbed me, I looked back in amazement, but she smiled and said, "The other party is just a blunt weapon, a small scene." β
I'm really ......
Isn't it a bad year lately? Why do people and things I meet raise my blood pressure so much?
I stuffed Kirishima's satchel into Shen Tangzhi's hand: "I'll help." β
By this time, Ron and his companions had already kicked down the fence and rushed towards the exhibits in the booth.
And Kirishima Kamiya arrived, she crossed her hands on her hips and said loudly, "Hey! You are not allowed to make trouble! β
Whether it is from the tone or from her appearance, she looks like a middle school student who has a second stage of secondary school, and ordinary people would never think that this is a martial arts master of the sixth stage of karate, right?
Several troublemakers with sticks in their hands glanced at each other, and a funny expression appeared on their faces: "Little sister, it's not a fun game here, let's go home quickly." β
As he spoke, one of them stepped forward to push Kirishima away from him, but when it was too late, his outstretched wrist was pinched by Kirishima like lightning, and when he turned around, he was thrown up directly......
Over-the-shoulder falls!
"Boom!"
The man slammed face down on the floor, and before he could even let out a muffled snort, he was knocked unconscious!
"W-What?!"
All of them had shocked expressions on their faces, as if they had seen the scene of aliens attacking Earth before their eyes.
I finally got to Kano Kirishima too, but now was not the time to complain about her recklessness, I stared at Ron's remaining four companions and whispered, "Two each?" β
"Mr. Yoshimitsu, don't steal business from me, okay? Since people came to Jinguan City, they haven't had a chance to make a move......", Kirishima rolled his eyes, "Otherwise, you can catch the person in charge." β
Without waiting for my consent, Kirishima let out a low snort and rushed forward.
Seeing this, Ron instructed his men, "Stop them!" β
He brutally knocked down several shelves of small mechanical artworks protected by glass covers, and the sound of glass and metal shattering rang out as they fell to the ground.
The rest of Ron's companions pounced on us with fierce faces.
Kirishima seemed to be afraid that I would rob her of her "business", so before the four people came up, she was like a breeze at first, and in the blink of an eye, she was already close to the enemy.
"Hey!"
My voice had been completely taken to my ears, and Kirishima held the gauze skirt in both hands, revealing the small black flat leather shoes under his feet.
"Hah!"
Two high kicks on the front.
"Mmmm......mmmm
One of the troublemakers dropped his slingstick and fell to his knees clutching his legs, the red mark on his face being a small shoe print.
"Drink!"
Side kicks, joint techniques.
"Ahhh......h
With a crisp "click", another troublemaker rolled on the ground with his knees in his hands.
"Hey!"
Leap and spin kick.
βοΌβ
The third troublemaker fell straight backwards, his nose bleeding profusely and half of his face stained red.
"Smack."
The last troublemaker stood in stride, stunned, until the stick in his hand fell to the ground, and then reacted.
"Surrender...... I give up! He raised his hands.
And Kirishima Smoke's next flip kick also happened to come - and it stopped on the side of his face.
Kirishima slowly retracted his right leg: "Then, don't lie." β
The latter chick pecks at the rice and nods vigorously.
And at this point, I finally stopped Ron.
But instead of taking any weapons out of his body, he tried to reason with me: "Why are you in the way? Machines will end man's domination over the planet - aren't you one of them? β
I shook my head: "That's just a hypothesis, but you're committing a crime right now......"
He angrily interrupted me: "Open your eyes and look at the world, which is almost overrun by omnipresent machines!" This is already the reality in front of us, and not some bullshit scientific hypothesis! Even the peasants have less and less mud on the soles of their shoes! Human physical labor will be replaced by machinery, and their limbs will be as fat as pigs, and they will only know how to enjoy themselves in the illusory world all day long, and their brains will eventually become like pigs! That is the end of our humanity! β
"Listen! I'm a special recruit from the Criminal Investigation Division of the Seongnam Police Bureauβ"
"Wow!"
Before I could finish my introduction, a girl's cry sounded, and then a black arc of light crossed by, and finally the afterimage overlapped in Ron's right templeβ
It was a women's black round scalp shoe, about a size of thirty-six.
"Save people...... Class ......"
Ron fell limply to the ground, not forgetting to shout a slogan before fainting.
"Mr. Yoshimitsu, are you alright?"
"Can you put your legs down before you say that?" I closed my eyes.
"Ahhh I'm sorry! β
Kirishima quickly gathered his legs and hurriedly arranged his gauze skirt.
But...... No matter how much I close my eyes in time......
That touch of color still seems to be pink......
It seems that pink is the dream color of all girls.
"Just now...... It's rude. β
Kirishima was about to bow to me again and apologize, and I quickly stepped forward and pressed her head:
"I've said it many times, don't apologize casually."
"Ah, I'm sorry!"
While Kirishima said sorry, his head involuntarily lowered, and halfway through his movements, a hand with a fair complexion and slender fingers pressed on Kirishima Xun's shoulder.
"Kaoru-chan, that guy seems to be telling you not to apologize......"
It's Shen Tangzhi, and her movements are quite fast.
"Hehe......"
Kirishima came to his senses and touched his forehead awkwardly, showing an apologetic smile.
I asked, "Are you okay over there?" β
Shen Tangzhi smiled: "Of course, haven't the bad guys been defeated by you?" β
I glanced at her, and she did look fine, but her hair tied into a ball seemed a little uncomfortable...... But I'm not sure if it's my delusion.
At this time, the security guards who had come to the aid finally arrived and escorted Ron and his companions away from the ground.
But I found that there were eight people who were taken away by the security guards, but just now I only saw six people who caused trouble, including Ron......
Seeing my doubts, Shen Tangzhi explained: "This Ron and two accomplices were mixed in the crowd, and they wanted to sneak attack Xiao Xun just now, but they were ...... Knocked down by Kaoru-chan - right, Kaoru-chan? β
"Ah, yes. If it weren't for Shen Jiang's reminder, I would have almost been hit, haha......"
I frowned slightly, the tone of their voices always made me feel unbelievable, but this kind of thing seems to have some reason to hide, right?
Order was gradually restored, but due to a certain amount of damage to the interior of the exhibition hall, the exhibition had to be temporarily suspended.
Of course, the visitors were complaining, but apart from verbal complaints, no one made a fuss, and everyone was being taken out of the exhibition hall in an orderly manner under the command of the museum staff.
"Hello, thank you for your bravery! I'm the head of the security section of the Jinguancheng Science Museum, Liu Jiyun! β
The stocky middle-aged man in his early forties, dressed in a security uniform, stretched out his hand to me.
I stretched out my hand to shake it: "Section Chief Liu, hello." I am the special consultant of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Seongnam Police Bureau and the chairman of the Yoshiguang Detective Agency, Yoshimitsu, this is the chief of the Forensic Section of the Seongnam Police Bureau, Shen Tangzhi, and this is the president of the Kirishima Psychological Counseling Center, Kirishima Fumi. β
Hearing that we were in charge of the relevant positions of the Chengnan Police Bureau, and that Shen Tangzhi was also the head of the Forensic Section, the chief of the security section was immediately in awe, and it was much easier for me to ask about other situations.
Section Chief Liu said that the museum's leadership decided to temporarily close the museum today, and the specific reopening time may not be officially announced until a media conference later.
As for Ron and the others, the security department will lock them up in a storage room inside the museum and wait for the police to arrive before handing them over.
But at this moment, Liu Jiyun's face suddenly changed drastically, and I noticed that it seemed that his walkie-talkie suddenly rang.
Since his walkie-talkie was connected to a headset, we had no way of knowing what was on the call.
I only heard Liu Jiyun finally say: "Got it!" Send more people, step up patrols, and report the situation to the police department for the police to deal with. β
Something must have happened.
I asked, "What's going on?" β
Liu Jiyun's face was ugly: "The person in charge of this riot suddenly knocked down a few of our security guards outside just now and escaped from the museum......"
Shen Tangzhi and I glanced at each other, and immediately guessed that the guy named Ron was so thoughtful: it wasn't that he couldn't fight, but after seeing Kirishima's incomparable combat power, he chose to forbear, and then suddenly attacked, and sure enough, he took advantage of the loophole.
"I thought he was just a stunned fanatic...... It's disgusting to have been deceived by him! Kirishima clenched his little fists, looking angry.
Shen Tangzhi said, "Jiguang, have you noticed that they seem to be looking for something in the exhibition hall just now?" β
I nodded, Shen Tangzhi's words reminded me, and said to her: "Section Chief Shen, you quickly call Team Cheng and apply for investigation authority." β
Then, I said to Liu Jiyun in a deep voice: "Section Chief Liu, as a special consultant of the Chengnan Police Bureau, I now put forward two requirements to your embassy, please be sure to cooperate with our investigation!" β
"First, we're going to continue the tour, please find us a guide - if you can, the girl named Xie Lan just now."
"Second, please arrange for us to meet with Dr. Wang Nuo immediately."
After a short communication, Liu Jiyun conveyed the opinion of the museum leaders: they will fully cooperate with our work.
After a while, Xie Lan, who worked part-time at the museum, came to us again.
She was still a little frightened, but under the appeasement of Shen Tangzhi and Kirishima Xun, Xie Lan slowly calmed down.
Accompanied by Liu Jiyun, our group continued to visit the exhibition.
The entire exhibition hall is divided into eight sections, the first of which displays the early steam prototype, which was destroyed by Ron's gang, but thankfully, the key exhibits are still intact.
"This is George Stephenson's steam train, which won the title of the fastest train in 1829 and was used on the Liverpool to Manchester railway line. In 1814 Stephenson built the first steam-powered locomotive, and he was a pioneer of the railroad. β
The exhibits in the exhibition hall include a complete replica of the first steam train in history, as well as small curios from many other railway companies.
"Obviously, what they're looking for isn't here." Shen Tangzhi whispered.
The main exhibit in the second hall is a number of replicas of early multi-spindle looms: including Richard Arkwright's spinning machine and Samuel Crompton's spindle spinning machine, as well as other improved models, a total of five models.
"These machines revolutionized the spinning process, and each machine was upgraded on the previous one until the advent of steam-powered and powered looms," says Sheeran. They allow artisanal copycats to be eliminated and replaced by factories. The first spinning machine was invented in 1765, and most of these inventors had different early experiences β Richard Arkwright, for example, was a former barber. β
Kirishima Xun looked at me and Shen Tangzhi respectively, and touched his chin like a detective: "Hmm, look at your expressions, that thing is not here either?" β
Shen Tangzhidu and I smiled and nodded.
The third exhibition area displays the works of Edmund Cartwright, a famous inventor of the First Industrial Revolution.
Among the exhibits are a rope making machine, a wool combing machine, and a power loom.
In the fourth section, a prototype of a steam engine with a condensation chamber is displayed by James Watt, who invented the unit "horsepower" and is considered the father of steam power.
Next, in a row of several exhibition areas, we did not find "that thing".
What Ron was looking for must have some degree of specificity, but all we looked at along the way were clunky mechanical copies, or old black-and-white photographs and biographies of the inventors.
While these inventions, which flourished during the first industrial revolution and ultimately changed the world, are worthy of astonishment and admiration, the limitations of the times cannot be avoided β from a modern point of view, these former industrial marvels are inevitably crude and clumsy.
Until we came to the last section.
The headline of this exhibition is:
