Episode.34 Deals and Alliances?
One of Hiiragiya's creeds: the strong use strength to stabilize gains, and the weak make up for losses with technology.
The strong can get many things and protect those things they get, while the weak can only keep strengthening their skills to the point of becoming strong.
It's just that because there are many weak people, there will be all kinds of miracles and plots that change their lives against the sky.
Hiiragi also thinks that he is a weakling, so he needs to keep working hard and constantly fighting to turn around the unfavorable situation through the technology he has.
The person who is talking now is one of the two strongest people in this world, the strongest 'one-eyed owl'.
Of course, the current owl, that is, Takatsuki Izumi, appeared as the cadre of the bronze tree, 'Aite'.
"You heard me right, I'm here to trade, my people, that is, my partners, seem to be considered stupid by you, do you really think those words will have an effect?"
"I don't know if it will work, but I don't think they'll tell you about the meeting......"
"It's true that I didn't really make it clear, just a little guess, and then I knew from the reports of other guys. Are you really a human being who is not afraid of death, do you still think that you are standing on absolute safety? ”
Hiiragi was still facing away from Aite, and Aite's footsteps gradually became louder, and finally stopped about a meter behind Hiiragi.
Transaction, Hiiragi also heard very clearly just now, and listened very carefully.
The reason why Aite knew about this was probably because of the meows who were present at the time, and there was no report of the meows that were killed by Hiiragi.
Although I don't know what the specific situation is, Aite has appeared around at that time, and it has been proved that the upper echelons of the bronze tree know about their existence.
If you want to solve this problem, you will have to read the save file when you met with Kaneki. This will have to take a lot of effort.
Besides, Hiiragi wanted to hear what Aite was referring to at the moment.
On the other hand, if Aite is going to start fighting now, Hiiragi also wants to fight him......
Even if his right hand is injured and his left hand is not good at using his abilities, Hiiragi wants to be a one-eyed owl for a while.
Feeling Aite's action behind him. She took another step forward from behind and put her hand on Hiiragi's shoulder.
"Don't you turn around? So we won't have a good conversation. ”
"I see...... First of all, let me confirm each other's goals. ”
Turning around, I saw a tall man wearing a hooded jacket and bandages, Aite.
Leaning forward slightly, Aite bent slightly, looked at Hiiragi's right hand, which was also wrapped in bandages.
She let out a slight hum as if she were observing some rare animal, and clapped her hands
"You're going to get hurt too, aren't you afraid of death? Now that the battle with the other side has begun. Isn't it all your might? ”
"I didn't think that way, it was just an accident."
"This is the first time we've met, my name is Aite, human."
"I'm not called a human.,It's called Nangong Hiiragi.,The food I like is not bitter food.,The game I like is the sister GALGAME.。
"What's that?"
Aite took a few steps back, and his small body moved very lightly.
"First of all, answer me a question. If you lie......"
He stretched out the bandaged index finger of his right hand and shook it
"I'll kill you."
Even if it's a joke. But Hiiragi also thinks that this is definitely not a joke, but very serious.
Hiiragi is also very aware of the question Aite is going to ask, that is, to ask Hiiragi if he is also a white pigeon.
Hiiragi didn't know how to answer this question.
If you lie, you will see through and be killed?
If you tell the truth, you will be killed immediately as an enemy?
It doesn't matter if it's the first choice or the second option. All are quite dangerous, and all have a certain risk factor.
Sure enough, life has always been a choice, and if you choose the wrong one, you may fall into a dilemma.
However, Hiiragi also has the ability to regret it, assuming one of the choices is wrong. You can do it all over again.
But what if both choices are wrong?
Is Aite encouraging herself to answer her with lies? It's a strange idea to think about it.
So, while Hiiragi was thinking, Aite stood in front of him and asked a question.
Yes, it's the same problem as before, and there is no deviation from the previous world line.
"Human, are you a white dove?"
"Yes......"
The rain outside the shrine became heavier, and it was estimated that there was no one in the park for a long time, and lightning streaked across the sky and thunder rang out.
Bang!
The shrine was illuminated, and Aite, who was originally in front, suddenly ran in front of Hiiragi at this moment.
The expressionless bandage made her look particularly terrifying, and her outstretched right hand grabbed Hiiragi's right hand.
It was not a simple grab, but a direct pinching of the wound.
The stitched wound was squeezed, and the resulting pain made Hiiragi frown, but he didn't scream.
The bandage was stained red, and Aite leaned his nose over and sniffed it, no doubt the smell of human blood.
"Since it's a white dove, you dare to really come here, it's really strange, you want to kill yourself?"
"Not like that, because I think there must be something I want here...... Rather, I joined the CCG to get what I wanted, but don't think it's to expel you or something...... I don't have that kind of idea, and I won't do it. ”
Hearing Hiiragi's words, Aite let go of his hand, and Hiiragi's pain instantly alleviated a lot.
"You want to get what you want, yes, what do you want from us?"
"All the actions of the meow named Kaneki."
Of course, Hiiragi can't directly say something like 'I want to know all the actions of the bronze tree', but instead euphemistically expresses that he wants to inquire about Kaneki's affairs, and Kaneki's actions will indirectly inform Hiiragi of the actions of the bronze tree.
When Hiiragi finished speaking, Aite fell silent.
"That's right, do you know Kaneki?"
"I can't talk about acquaintances, I'm just interested in it."
"But it's a pity. I don't have the right to tell you that, and this deal is not a bargain for you. ”
Aite walked towards Hiiragi again, and Hiiragi stepped back slightly, raising his left hand, ready to defend.
"Don't be so nervous. The deal is very simple, I let you go back alive, and you tell me what CCG plans to do. ”
"Do you think I'll follow your arrangement after I'm gone?"
"Of course, when we formed the deal, we were already allies, and although there was some inequality, the world was like this."
"Even so, I'm just a superior investigator. How could you be the first to know those things? ”
"Collect as much as you can, if you don't follow this deal, you won't survive for three days, just like your female friend."
was threatened in turn......
Assuming that the Bronze Tree had set its sights on him and Nagi and had sent a large number of meow attacks, Hiiragi would have thought that would definitely cause quite a lot of trouble.
Not only will you be restricted from moving, which will bring all kinds of dangers, but it may also limit your future plans.
Want to read the archive? Hiiragi also asked himself in his heart.
It's no longer a simple question of whether to die or not. It's a question of whether or not the task will be accomplished.
Once you are a full-fledged enemy of the Bronze Tree, it is impossible to continue investigating other matters.
Even if you want to catch Aite in front of you now. Hiiragi doesn't have any means either.
"So can I ask a question?"
"Tell me about it, human."
"Suppose I make this deal with you and tell you what I know about CCG's actions, and you'll let me go?"
"Of course, this is an equal deal and alliance."
Obviously, I just talked about inequality, but this guy is changing really fast.
While complaining in my heart, I made a thought. Hiiragi didn't know if the deal was advantageous this time.
After all, if you establish contact with Aite, you may also be able to use this to know about the actions of the Bronze Tree.
"Then Aite, I promise this deal, is that okay?"
"It's a great choice."
Aite clapped his hands.
"It seems that this time I didn't come in vain."
Hiiragi also exhaled with it, and now such a choice is the best. If you refuse, you will probably be killed.
It's just that Hiiragi doesn't know what Aite's real purpose is, after all, most of the CCG's actions can be investigated.
Perhaps, she was testing her abilities......
At this moment, the light of a flashlight suddenly appeared outside, and the figure walking in the rain was-
"Is anyone in there? I'm a police officer at a nearby police station, and I've heard reports that someone seems to be here, no matter who it is, come out of here for me! ”
Hearing this, Aite took action.
Hiiragi also knew that the policeman would be killed, so he immediately reached out his left hand and grabbed Aite's right hand.
The right hand is very thin, but the bandage is very rough.
was caught by Hiiragi, and Aite immediately turned his face, making Hiiragi also feel some murderous aura.
"What do you want to do? That human might have discovered us, and you want to be exposed? ”
"It's raining now, and it's night, how can it be found."
"It's my way of eliminating all hidden dangers."
Aite waved Hiiragi's hand, but didn't move.
Hiiragi also subconsciously ran out of the shrine.
The rain soaked the clothes instantly, and the heavy summer rain made it feel especially cold.
The hair on his forehead kept sliding down the droplets, and the exhaled air was instantly swallowed in the rain, and the police officer in his field of vision put the light of the flashlight on Hiiragi.
"You, who are you! Stand still first!! Feed! Wait a minute! ”
"Get down!"
"Huh? What the? ”
"Want to die?!"
Hiiragi lunged forward, knocking down the policeman sideways, and immediately swiped vertically upwards with his left hand.
It's like casting a spell that isolates everything, and the non-existent 'thread' cuts off all the raindrops, time, and space.
The white figure flew from above, and the crimson Katsuko was cut off by Hiiragiya's 'thread', and the remaining cutting force destroyed the torii pillar not far away.
The sound of the collapse mixed with the sound of the rain, and the policemen who were pushed down by Hiiragi also exclaimed, not immediately accepting the change in events.
Shaking and dripping, Hiiragi grabbed the policeman on the ground and scanned the surrounding situation.
"Don't stay here, it's very dangerous here, if you want to leave alive, don't ask this or that!"
"But, in that case, you should go quickly."
Should I say I am zealous or not afraid of death? Hiiragi also pushed the police away, which was to prevent a second attack by the enemy.
I want to know that Aite can't go out alone, and he won't let her go out alone.
There is another mew that has been acting with Aite for a long time, and that is the mew named Tatara.
The first attack is over, and Hiiragi also finds that the opponent has no second attack.
Although relieved, still vigilant.
In order to save the policeman in front of him, he had to fight with Aite's subordinate Tatara, which was a bit stupid to be honest.
Hiiragi didn't mean it was for justice or anything, just because he didn't want to see the person in front of him killed.
Just like getting out of the car just now to help the brother and sister, I also happened to bump into Dong Xiang.
If you don't have justice, you will go to the police;
It's not that you save people, it's the same as wanting to be a partner in justice.
In line with Hiiragi's gaze, the police shone the light of the flashlight into the dark woods.
"Let's go."
Grabbing the policeman's shoulders and walking towards the exit of the park, Aite's voice sounded behind him.
"We'll get back to you!"
The police also heard such a voice, but under the sudden change just now, they chose to remain silent.
Since it would be very troublesome afterwards, Hiiragi also threw off the police on the way and left the park in the other direction.
There are very few taxis in the middle of the night, and Hiiragi is already soaking wet, so it is a bit of a hassle to take a ride.
The left hand moved the bandage on his right hand, because Aite had pinched it hard, causing the stitched wound to become larger, and blood to flow out.
The red color soaked in the bandage is particularly conspicuous, and it is obviously just an ordinary wound, because there has been no rest, so there is no sign of improvement at all.
I already knew that I was in the file, and the piercing wound really needed to be recuperated.
Hiiragi used to choose to read files after being injured (although most of them died instantly...... But in this infinite world, in order not to change the plot caused by himself, he didn't keep reading the file repeatedly.
After all, I made contact with Arima Guijiang and traded with Aite, who knows if I will get such a result after reading the file.
It can't be relied on, and it's hard to rely on.
'The ability to regret', 'the ability to read files', and 'the ability to cut' aren't really that likable......
The sound of his own footsteps suddenly coincided with the sound of another footstep, and where the left eye could not see, the person suddenly circled to the right side.
"Ahh It's you? ”
The voice of the person he had met earlier rang out.
Kirishima Dongka appeared with an umbrella and a convenience bag in her right hand.
Is this, a bad start? (To be continued.) )
