Chapter 70: Touching (Part 1)
From the moment he killed Councilor Hope, Higashinohara realized the rupture between him and the Celestial Government, which had ruled the world for nearly a hundred years, would not allow anyone to challenge their majesty.
But he still stabbed those two knives neatly.
Afterwards, he thought about all possible situations, and he also had a sense of urgency in his heart, urging himself to be more diligent and persistent in exercising for more than half a month to continuously improve his attributes.
I have to say,This sense of urgency is more urgent than when I was faced with being expelled from the school before.γ
Being dropped out of school by the school park,At most, it means that he may have to go back to his hometown in Hokkaido,From now on, live a life of "snowflakes fluttering, the north wind is bleak",But if you really face the world government,Then things may not be so simpleγ
I got off the train and walked down the path back to my apartment, recalling the horrors I had just seen at the Shibuya mall and the people who wore dark gold dragonfly masks like him.
He didn't think the world government would be so crazy.
Although the celestial aristocracy in Shangjing has never had a good attitude towards human beings, some of the world's great powers, such as the San Maro Empire and the United States of Tagos in the Western Hemisphere... The existence of the powerful human demigod-level people in those alliance states, as well as the checks and balances of the forces of pirates and revolutionary armies around the world, plus some unknown "historical reasons"...
The Celestial and Human World Government has always advocated that "human beings and celestial beings are equally important to this world", and even the upper house of the Celestial and Human Government in history passed the proposal of "abolishing apartheid and implementing intermarriage between celestial and human beings", so there are so many mixed races now.
In such an environment, even if the world government is very eager to "bring Higashinohara to justice" to demonstrate the inviolable majesty of the world government, it will not adopt such a frenzied approach.
So who will it be?
Who else is looking for him but the world government?
......
In the evening, Kabukicho Ichiban Street.
Barside at a bar, Thiago. Murphy gently shook the blue flame in his hand, listened to soft and comfortable music in his ears, and tilted his head slightly with one hand, looking at the relaxed young men and women in the bar through the transparent glass pattern of the cocktail glass.
Occasionally, there will be a single woman who casts a meaningful look at him.
"Tut-tut... I didn't expect Wano Country, a small country on the edge of the East China Sea, to know how to enjoy life so much, and it feels like time has slowed down all of a sudden..."
Lenn, the deputy captain next to him, came up with a smile, "Captain Murphy, when have you become so sentimental." β
"Sentimental? No, no, no... I just sighed..."
Thiago. Murphy chuckled and said, "I don't have a good life like Corleone, I was born to look down on all beings in the clouds like the Nine Great Families, so when he takes the initiative to jump down from the clouds, even if he makes a little achievement, he will be noticed and praised by countless people in the world." β
"Hehe... I'm just an outcast of a down-and-out aristocratic family, I have been experiencing war and death since I was sensible, and I have never had this kind of comfortable and idle time in my memories of wandering at sea, and the people around me are the same, because many people don't know if they can see the sun tomorrow, so they are desperately getting stronger every day, and only then can they sleep a fairly restful sleep at night. β
Listening to Thiago's emotion, Deputy Captain Lun said with a smile, "If you like it, Captain, then we will change our annual vacation to Sin Island in the South China Sea in Wano Country in the future." β
"No, no, no... I'm just curious. β
"What are you curious about, Captain?"
Thiago took another sip of the blue flame in the cup, looked at the strange woman with exquisite makeup at the booth not far away, and held a lady's cigarette between her slender white fingers, and spat out a smoke ring on him after taking a deep breath.
He couldn't help chuckling and said:
"I'm curious about... When these laid-back human beings suddenly lose their comfortable and comfortable life one day, what will she choose next? Will you accept your fate? Will you be suicidal? Or will they take another path that was never conceived... Don't you think it's funny? β
"Uh... It's kind of funny. β
Vice Captain Lunn chuckled.
After finishing speaking, Lunn hesitated, but still said, "There is a call in Beijing in the afternoon... Let's not go overboard, and Mick. Judge Joya, who is the head of the investigation team for the murder of Congressman Hope, also arrived in New Tokyo today, so let's cooperate with him as much as possible. β
"Mick's half-blood?"
Thiago groaned, a smile on his face, "He should be at the bottleneck of the seventh order now, tsk... If I really want to fight him, I must be happy. β
"Captain, then we'll go nextβ" Lenn asked.
"Of course... We're in the right place to continue this investigation
The remuneration of the Bart family. Thiago put down his glass with a smile, "The wolf wants to find out the sheep in the flock, and the last way is to eat a few first, and maybe then... The sheep will help you find the sheep and eat it, and there may be a wolf hidden in the sheep's heart..."
Moments later, a shocking explosion was heard in the Ichiban Street of Kabukicho in the evening!
The glass windows of the bar and the surrounding streets, as well as the windows of illegally parked cars on the side of the road, at the moment when the fire surged, a terrifying shock wave swept out countless glass shards like a frenzy!
Passers-by on the street screamed and crouched down, and a part-time girl from a nearby maid shop was picking up a flyer, shivering on the ground, her arm cut by the glass and bleeding, her eyes looking in horror at the bar across the street that was billowing black smoke.
Boom!
The main entrance to the bar's collapsed door was kicked open.
Out of the thick flames and black smoke came several relaxed figures, all wearing dark golden dragonfly masks on their faces, like demons from hell.
The girl suddenly covered her mouth and her eyes widened.
Without warning, she saw a headless woman howling like a fly rushing out of the bar.
The woman's makeup is exquisite, but there is a serious burn on the left half of her face, and the half delicate and half ugly appearance is full of a strong sense of disobedience.
The leader of the dragonfly masks glanced at the howling woman with interest, but did not stop them, but only led a few people easily through the terrified crowd on the road and disappeared into the corner.
Ten minutes later, in the sound of rapid sirens, police cars with red and blue flashlights appeared one after another from behind that street corner.
......
"The boss... Three bowls... Oh no, five bowls of ramen. β
"So much? Which of the three of you can eat two more bowls? β
"Uh... All five bowls are hers. β
In the evening, at the door of a ramen shop in the commercial pedestrian street of Shibuya Ward, Xia Li rubbed her stomach and smiled harmlessly at the owner of the ramen shop, "How much can a kitten eat?" on his face.
"Eat, eat, eat... When you are full, run a few laps more to find someone. Satoru Aragaki took out his wallet and paid as if he was resigned, and turned his head to look at Higashinohara, "Do you want a bowl of Higashino-kun?" β
"No thanks." Higashinohara Road.
He ate ramen every day after buying a small knife last month, and now he wants to vomit when he smells ramen.
Satoru Aragaki also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, Higashinohara suddenly added, "Please give me a meal supplement." β
"......" Satoru Aragaki.
The three of them entered the store and found a table to sit down, and Xia Li glanced at the steaming cauldron in the back kitchen through the curtain from time to time, waiting for her ramen to be served with "chopsticks and spoons".
Satoru Aragaki rubbed his chin, "It's strange, according to the missing girl, she went to her best friend's house, but according to her best friend's mother, the two girls came to Shibuya to go shopping today, but why didn't they go home at this point?" Will anyone go shopping all day? β
"Yes, don't all the women of New Tokyo live on the streets on holidays?" Xia Li said.
The corners of Satoru Aragaki's mouth twitched.
Higashinohara, who was silent, suddenly proposed, "Why don't we wait and look for a nearby mall, the mall is quite crowded at night."
"That's the only way, the current girls really don't let their families worry." Satoru Aragaki shook his head.
After eating, the group of three walked out of the ramen shop.
Xia Li wiped her mouth, she was not lazy even after eating half full, she ran fast on the pedestrian street, and would come to report the situation to Satoru Aragaki from time to time.
"Huh? Is there an explosion in a mall here? β
Hearing the words "mall explosion", Higashinohara suddenly remembered the news he saw on the subway when he went home, he and Satoru Tsuashagaki glanced at each other, and quickly accelerated his pace in the direction where Xia Li was.
Far away, I saw a cordon pulled up by the police.
When he got closer, Higashinohara realized that this was the Shibuya Ward Raksu Commercial Mall in Shibuya Ward, but the once bustling plaza was deserted, and the illuminations that had been installed to welcome the Snow Festival had all been reduced to ashes in the explosion.
The thick smoke on the ruins has dispersed, the lights of police lights and ambulances flicker in the twilight, the occasional blood seeps out and stains red under the dust and ruins, and the tone of the reporters outside the police cordon when they report to the camera is extremely pale at this moment.
When Higashinohara saw the news on his mobile phone on the subway in the afternoon, he was not too touched by the blurry pictures of the scene.
At this moment, he walked to the site of the ruins by chance and watched the scene in front of him.
Gradually, he stopped, his hands hanging quietly at his sides, his face silent and focused.
