Chapter 43: Preparation and Awakening

Inside a rest room in the Vehicle Section

A black girl wearing a shrine maiden costume, like Yamato Nadeshiko, is sitting on an iron chair, using the fruit knife in her hand to deftly peel an apple into the shape of a rabbit, and there are many apple platters cut into the shape of rabbits on the table next to her, and each one is a different shape, and it can be seen that the girl is very attentive. From time to time, though, she would look distractedly at a bed across from her, frowning slightly.

It's still early in the morning, and the clear sunlight shines through the windows. On the bed, a boy wearing a military detective college uniform was lying on the bed, and it seemed that he was still asleep. The black girl looked at his face with concern on her face, as if she was embarrassed about something. Although she knew that the young man in front of her was fine, she couldn't help but be secretly worried. Just as the girl was thinking about something, there was a brief knock on the door.

The girl put down the fruit knife in her hand and opened the door of the lounge, just in time to see a pair of teenagers and girls standing in front of her.

"Hoshikawa-san, Riko, are you here to confirm Kinji's condition? I'm sorry that Kinji hasn't woken up yet, maybe I'll have to wait a while. The black girl looked at the two people in front of her and said apologetically. She had already called everyone she knew after yesterday's incident, including Chen, who was also S Yan, and Riko, who was quite familiar. However, because Jin Ci had fallen into a coma at that time, she was still asked to take care of her for the time being, and the others were also prepared for other things.

"It's okay...... But...... If we really want to rescue Aria, the sooner the better. Chen, glanced at Jin Ci, who was still lying on the bed, and said with some solemnity. Although this time he went to rescue Aria to help Riko, Tatsu couldn't go alone, after all, he had to face such an enemy. What's more, now there are people who are more worried about Aria than themselves, and Tatsu is just waiting for Jinji to wake up now.

In Chen's voice, the byte of Aria seemed to have touched Jinji, and Jinji, who was still in a shallow coma, slowly opened his eyes and looked at the somewhat strange place he was in a little confused. If he's not mistaken, this is supposed to be the rest room of the Vehicle Division, but how could he be here......

Jin Ci recalled his battle with his eldest brother yesterday and couldn't help but gasp. He had withstood several invisible bullets, and the impact was still on him. But what he cares more about is how he will face his eldest brother, Kinichi Toyama.

"Jin Cijun, you finally woke up", a somewhat familiar voice came into Jin Ci's ears, he raised his head and looked at the two people who were standing at the door, it was Xingchuan Chen who had cooperated with him, and Riko, who had fought several times. Kim Ci was about to say something, but was hugged by a person. The strength is so strong that he can't bear it even when he just wakes up.

"Great...... Goldie...... Are you alright?", Shirayuki said tightly hugging Kimji.

"Snow ...... You let go of me a little, you hugged me too tightly...... I'm ...... Some...... Breathe...... Poor ...... Then he was let go of the white snow, took a breath, and asked with some doubts: "White snow...... Why am I here? I think I must have fallen into the ocean?".

"The situation at that time was noticed by Lei Ji first, and fortunately, she notified Wu Zhengao, so she called a motor vehicle from the vehicle department to save you. Riko, who had stood aside for a long time without speaking, finally spoke up.

"Riko and Hoshikawa... Why is Chenjun here?", Jin Ci looked at the two people standing at the door and said a little unnaturally. Although he and Riko and Tatsu used to be partners, Jinji is still quite wary of Riko.

"Of course, I'm here to help you. Right?Riko?", Tatsumi said to Riko with a smile as he looked at Konji, whose face was full of unnaturalness.

Jin Ci looked at these two people and couldn't understand their intentions for a while. Although the four of them were once comrades-in-arms, it was only a cooperation that was forced to form a shì in the past. After that, there wasn't much overlap, although it was the same class, but because he went out to eat with Aria every day, he didn't have time to talk to the two of them or anything.

"And what plans and ideas do these two guys have when they come here......", Kinji was only slightly bothered by the question, and then remembered more important questions. He asked Bai Xue in a low voice, "Then after I was rescued, did anyone see where Aria was taken?"

"The sea...... I've already divined the location of Aria-", Shirayuki was about to speak, but was interrupted by Riko's voice.

"Forty-three degrees and nineteen minutes east longitude, one hundred and fifty-five degrees and three minutes north latitude. It's the Pacific Ocean, it's the area of the open ocean. Riko recited a precise number, and finally looked at Kim Ji with some smugness and smiled.

"Riko, how did you get this...... Is it?", Kim Ci was about to ask, but was interrupted by Riko's voice.

"Uh-huh, Riko has a GPS shooter on Ariya's body!, this Aria is not there!", Riko puffed up her chest, looked at the stunned Kimji, and said with some smugness.

“...... Riko, how many of these things do you have...... You used this to track me the last time you hijacked, right?", Kimji finally came to his senses, sat up from his bed and questioned Riko.

"Hey...... This is a secret! If Jin Ji wants to know the information, he will have to pay the price!"

"Forget it then......" Kinji looked at the two people who had been standing in the doorway, and then looked at the clock in the lounge. It's seven o'clock now, and according to Petra yesterday, Aria has only twenty-four hours left to live...... Then there are eleven hours left. Jin Ji straightened his clothes a little, stood up, and asked the two people at the door:

"So, are you two here to help me?", Jin Ci asked the two of them in a low voice, still with a gloomy face.

"Oops...... Riko's mission has been completed, and Riko has already sued you in the place where Aria was taken captive!Next is Tatsu's business, right, Tatsu?", Riko looked at the person standing next to her, and gently bumped Tatsu with her elbow, as if reminding.

"En......", Tatsumi glanced at Riko and replied with a serious face. This is also Tatsu's own plan, although he will face the only few G25 ability holders in the world, but he does not regret it, and he will not back down. Chen looked at Riko, who was smiling all over her face, and her heart couldn't help but tighten, and then slowly calmed down.

"It's not just the two of them, Kim Ji...... I'll help you too...... For the same purpose as you, save Aria. A silver girl dressed in a sailor's suit and holding a cane was standing behind Tatsu and Aria, making her own voice.

"Joan of Arc, you're here too!", Toyama Kinji looked at the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him in some surprise, this is the magic sword that he fought with last time, Joan of Arc Dalke. Although it is said that he kidnapped Bai Xue last time and fought with Aria and Jinji, it seems that the relationship between the two is quite harmonious now. At least there was no hostility in Bai Xue's gaze towards Joan of Arc.

Hoshikawa-kun...... I'm not convinced, but thank you for what happened last time. Joan of Arc turned her head slightly, looked at Tatsu who was standing beside her, and said in a slightly complicated tone.

Although the last time she and Tatsu fell in the alley, Tatsu also helped Joan of Arc complete part of the judicial transaction, which surprised her a little. However, it is said that it is a help, but Tatsumi also asks to learn the secret art of ice and dust from Joan of Arc as a reward. Joan of Arc didn't pay much attention to it at first, and readily agreed. The Ice Dust Arc was inherited from her ancestor Joan of Arc, and as a force that has been constantly modified and perfected from generation to generation, it must be a descendant of the Holy Maiden. Ordinary people get it basically can't be parsed and used. Of course, when I-U was learning from each other, her abilities were learned by one person, but Joan of Arc herself didn't know about it.

However, what surprised her was that Tatsu seemed to be able to use his abilities after getting the Ice Dust Secret Technique for a period of time, which made Joan of Arc very concerned, and he also asked Tatsu, but he didn't get a response. Joan of Arc looked at the boy in front of him who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old with a suspicious gaze. It's a bit unpredictable, but it's a strange guy. Joan of Arc looked at Chen without saying a word and muttered in her heart.

Riko noticed that Joan of Arc was staring at Tatsu, and stared at Joan of Arc with a little dissatisfaction, but didn't say anything.

However, Chen didn't care about what happened at this time, and after a few words with Joan of Arc, he asked again: "So Yuanshan, have you made your decision?" He and Riko didn't come here so early to chat, the real purpose was to see what kind of thoughts Toyama Kinji had.

"I'm definitely going to get Aria out, absolutely!", Kimji's face became even more gloomy, as if he was roaring, expressing his thoughts.

"Then let's get ready to get out, the later it drags on, the worse things will become. Tatsumi looked out the window at the ever-changing morning light, as if thinking of something.

"But...... Before that, I still have to ask the question, why did the three of you help me, it wouldn't do you any good?", although Kimji is quite dull in some aspects, he still has extraordinary insight after inheriting the talent of the Toyama family. Riko, Tatsuna, and Joan of Arc don't seem to be that simple.

"I'll let Riko explain this!" Riko, who had been standing at the door, said as she pulled up the ribbon on her clothes.

"In I-u, Kana is Riko and Joan of Arc's beloved boss, and Riko and Joan of Arc will listen to Kana!Yesterday Kana called us to tell us what happened at the time, and asked Joan of Arc and Kana to help Konji!", Riko said in a strange tone, half joking and half serious.

When Kim Ci heard Kana's name, he was stunned for a moment, recalling the process of fighting with his eldest brother who was in explosion mode on the sea yesterday. He almost tried his best to defeat the big brother who was in explosion mode, but he knew that if he faced the big brother in Kana's state, he still had no chance of winning.

"To my surprise, though, Kana said you had beaten her. I'm a little hard to believe that, so let's not talk about that, I'll tell you about Petra first. Joan of Arc staggered down the hallway with a cane. Tatsu, Riko, Shirayuki and Kimji are all following in Joan of Arc's footsteps and heading towards the depths of the Vehicle Division. Along the way, Joan of Arc is telling Kinji about Petra, including some investigative secrets. However, only Bai Xue and Chen can understand them, and Riko and Jinji, who are military detectives, are not clear.

"Petra used to be a member of I. U, but she was a troublemaker, and was expelled from I. U's school because of her temperament" Joan of Arc and a few others walked into the elevator, pressed the button on the second basement floor, and headed deeper into the vehicle department building.

"So she's not a member of I-U now, maybe it's a little easier to do......," Kinji also got some news from I.U. from Aria and Joan of Arc, and it would be safer not to run into such an organization.

Joan of Arc shook her head and said in a low voice, "She was originally the number two person in I. U, and Vlad only took the second seat after Petra left. Jinci, you probably guessed which Petra is descendant, the empress of ancient Egypt, the flower snake of the Nile, the famous Cleopatra VII. As the empress of the queen, she is convinced that she is the pharaoh, and in order to achieve her goals, she wants to become the leader of I-u after the death of the 'Professor', gain enough power and go to war to establish her own kingdom...... Someday it's going to be the government of the whole world, and that's no joke, Kimji!"

"Hey...... It's too messy to conquer the world or something...... It's like the villains in those hot-blooded comics—", Kimji asked with his eyes wide open and a little incredulous.

"Don't doubt...... There are such people in Yi U, which we call the 'main battle faction', which is simply a group of people who want to conquer the world every day. But...... In I-U, you will see the possibility of conquering the world, and this is serious. Riko's voice came out and explained to Kimji.

"I, Riko, and Kana all belong to the 'Study School', and we don't want someone like Petra to sit in the seat of I. U. Joan of Arc said with a stern face.

"But if this continues, if the 'Professor' and Aria die, no one will be able to stop her from taking the throne! This is not good news for quite a few people, and if an organization like I. U with incredible force is allowed to start an all-out war, no one will be happy. Of course, there are people like me. Chen, who has been thinking about something, also spoke.

"So, Kinji Toyama, we all hope that you can get Aria back, and of course we have the rest ready!" the elevator came to a steady halt in the dock of the Vehicle Section. The four people in the elevator all looked at Kinji, as if waiting for something.

"--I'm not going to sit idly by and watch my companion get caught by a bunch of paranoids!", Kimji was silent for a while, and finally spoke up, pressed the elevator switch, and walked out of the open elevator door.

(PS: I have to be in charge of my sister's studies during the holidays...... Don't leave me, my time)
