Chapter XXXVII: The Operational Meeting Begins Again
When I woke up in the morning, half of the girl lying in the closet rolled out of the cabinet door, hanging down the edge and sleeping soundly.
Her sleeping position is too powerful.
Li Wu, who had such a feeling, avoided his gaze.
After all, you can see a piece of white skin peeking out of the waist through the gap in the yukata.
After changing her clothes and going downstairs, she saw that Lilia was already in a state of preparation.
Compared with the previous casual dress, she is wearing a gray suit-style upper body today, with the same color, a dress decorated with black lace and black pantyhose, which looks a lot more mature, and indeed has a little more detective mysterious temperament.
He still wore that millet-colored beret on his head, and pressed his neatly combed hair.
Snow Maiden was standing on a small stool and was bringing breakfast to the bar.
"Where's the old man?" Li Wu took the smoothie she handed over, which was drizzled with a layer of red juice, "Boss, isn't your breakfast here a little too unrestrained?" ”
You don't have to show your own ethnic characteristics here!
"Ochiai, he's already left in the morning, and he's been traveling around all the time."
Snow Lady pushes another smoothie to Lilia, who waves her hand and refuses.
Hearing that the old man with the name of [Martial Artist] had left, Li Wu couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Tengu is undoubtedly the most basic youkai he has ever faced, and although Ochiai failed to completely destroy it, he did blow its head once, and even made Tengu choose to put down his arrogant sneak attack when he appeared again.
It's a pity that I couldn't see the scene of him doing it, and I don't know if I will have a chance to meet again in the future.
Soon, Aoi Hoshikawa yawned and walked down the stairs.
After a breakfast that was quite out of season, the young proprietress sent the group out of the hotel.
Thanks to the addition of Miss Detective, it became three people when I went back this time.
The Snow Maiden bowed and said softly, "I am very impressed with all the guests, please come back in the future, the door of the Edelweiss Hot Spring Hotel will always be open." ”
"We were also impressed, in every sense."
Li Wu thought back to yesterday's lively night when the murder in the secret room developed into the last turn of the supernatural brawl, and sighed from the bottom of his heart.
After waving goodbye to the hostess, the two of them said goodbye to the hot spring inn with their new friends and got on the return bus.
By the time we arrived in Chiyo City, it was already noon, and since I hadn't eaten anything in the morning, the detective asked the two hosts to introduce the local food culture.
Li Wu and the others also had a lot of information to exchange with Yuki Akabane, so a few people went directly to the familiar nineball coffee shop.
Although she hadn't seen her for a few days, she seemed to be much more tired and was lying listlessly on the table.
"Sister Yuxi, did you play games all night yesterday?"
"Maybe it's watching a late-night anime - Lilia, sit inside."
"I'm tired from rushing to investigate the last location! You two have no conscience! ”
The shrine maiden pounded the table and complained, "You two high school students must have taken the opportunity to go to the hot springs!" Maybe there's another shameful incident like this, and oh-"
Li Wu looked away.
Hoshikawa Aoi bowed her head weakly.
"Why this reaction?! Doesn't anyone want to spit out my jokes? Hey, you're not really going to step into a realm that only college students like me can enter, are you!? ”
Lilia, who hadn't kept up with the rhythm yet, raised her right hand: "That, can I order?" ”
She interrupted the witch in time, and by the time the snacks were served, the scene had finally calmed down.
"This is the little detective of the ninth class of public security that Xiao Aoi told me about on LINE?"
Yuki Akabane looked at Lilia, who was eating cake.
The latter put down his knife and fork and replied dignifiedly, "Yes, I'm Lilia Moriarty, and when we first met, you must be the local shrine maiden of the Yamango Shrine Joint Committee?" Salute to the efforts you make to protect the law and the daily lives of its inhabitants. ”
"Cut." Yuki Akabane pursed her lips, "That's why I don't like Ling's inaugural agency - but forget it, since you belong to Lesson Nine, what are your superpowers?" ”
Hearing this, Li Wu also looked at the girl sitting next to him.
Although they had witnessed the phenomenon of the other party's ability to activate before, they really hadn't explored what the true face of that vanishing was before.
"That's no secret." Lilia said calmly, "I have dual abilities, which are the extrasensory perception of the ESP system and the existence manipulation of the PK system. The former is not worth mentioning, but the latter can do the trick that makes me disappear under the noses of others. ”
Is it for the decrease of the sense of presence? That is to say, the words he sees will not be hidden for objective reasons, but will be ignored because of his own subjective omissions?
Li Wu wrote down this information.
Hoshikawa Aoi looked left and right and found that no one had any doubts, so he said to Li Wu: "Classmate Li Wu, I'll test you, you know ESP and PK ......"
"You just don't know." Li Wu pierced the magical girl's careful thoughts, and replied before the latter began to deny it: "It's a term for parapsychology, the former is a special perception, such as hypnosis, prediction and other abilities, and the latter refers to the special actuation ability that affects external things such as telekinesis and teleportation." ”
After introducing each other, we finally got to the point.
"According to the revelation I have received from my abilities, the object we are going to pursue should belong to an organization called the 'Unification Society.'"
Li Wu spoke first, since he discovered that the transcendent realm had a large number of vague rules of metaphysical categories, he completely stopped pretending, and it was a big deal to learn from the French saintess, directly claiming that this was the apocalypse.
"Will it be unified?" Miss Miko shook her head, "I don't remember any image of this organization, and I haven't heard of a puppeteer who manipulates dolls made of mercury. ”
The other two also said they hadn't heard of it.
It seems that this clue can only be put on hold for the time being.
"And then there's what I've investigated. I asked someone to look up the history of the change of ownership of the Lower Dorfin Hotel, and I found something interesting. ”
When it comes to business, the magical girl shows her reliable side.
"The hotel was originally a small hotel, but it has changed hands several times in recent years – and most of them are registered shell companies with no office space or staff.
"They colluded with each other, used clever methods to buy short and sell short, and sold the land purchased at a low price to the next family who took over the sale, accumulating a large amount of assets in the process."
She paused and divided the cake on the plate into a large piece: "If you continue to trace, you will find that the source of these fake companies is the same real estate company, and the actual owner of that company ......"
"The surname is Uehara, and the name is Yuichi Uehara."
