【Age 15】
After a month in Beika, with a Zanpakuto in her right hand and a Quincy Cross in her left, Kurosaki Utahi was once again forced to explain to a resentful soul, "I'm only ...
Chapter 8: Winery and Miyano's Sister 3
"Ah... Student ID, and a freshman at the University of Tokyo..."
Although it’s not possible that top students are not involved in illegal activities, but considering the fact that he just called the police...she must have hit the wrong person!
Judging from his hiding position, he might have accidentally witnessed the confrontation between her and the silver-haired man, because the man had a gun in his hand and chose to call the police... But there was nothing he could do since he had already been beaten. The worst that could happen was that he could wait for her to finish the call and then find a way to wake him up.
Anyway, she was such a thin and weak girl wearing a hospital gown, she could easily get away with it - if she really couldn't, she could just use the spray, which she had already gotten used to using at Mihua in the past two weeks.
After abandoning her painful conscience, Kurosaki Utsuki calmed down and used the map software to determine her current address, and then dialed the number deep in her memory.
As soon as she answered the phone and reported her name, the young man on the other end started complaining, saying that the nurse happened to run into them when she came to check on the ward, and immediately thought that she disappeared because they had provided a cover.
"She urged us to leave quickly. No matter how I explained, she wouldn't listen. I don't know who to call to complain," said Ling Furuya.
I see, this is the person who just reported to the silver-haired man - I don't know if she is a real nurse or a fake one this time.
"You can check the surveillance video and you'll know I didn't leave on my own initiative." Kurosaki Utsuki pouted, "So you left?"
"No, something big happened at Doctor Elena's place, how could I leave? What did you mean just now? You didn't leave on your own initiative. You couldn't have been kidnapped, right?"
The other person's words implied, "I'd rather believe the sun rises in the west than believe you've been kidnapped," and Kurosaki Utsuki's mouth twitched. "That's the 'impossible', but unfortunately, I've already succeeded."
Kurosaki Utsuki looked around and confirmed that there were no witnesses. Then he bent down, folded the Todaisei in half and carried him on his shoulders. He jumped out of the factory in a few steps and took him to the entrance of a dilapidated apartment building within his sight, keeping him away from the chaos that was about to break out here and so that he would not be arrested as an accomplice when the police arrived later.
However, just in case, she still remembered the name and major on the other person's student ID card so that she could stop the person at any time if necessary.
"Please bring the shoulder bag from the ward here for me."
Kurosaki Utsuki glanced from afar at the silver-haired man who was still lying on the ground at the factory entrance without any movement, and raised the corners of her mouth happily.
"This group of people is most likely the ones who kidnapped Shiho. Just think about it, if we can help Dr. Elena find Shiho before the police..."
Sure enough, the fish on the other side, which was smart most of the time but could be easily caught sometimes, immediately took the hook: "Kurosaki, give me the address quickly, Hiro, let's go!"
So she happily gave the address, deleted the call history after hanging up the phone, and put the phone back into the unconscious man's pocket.
"Thank you for your phone, Mr. Akai." She clasped her hands together and said sincerely, "Next time, go help those who really need help."

When she heard the unexpected cry for help, Kurosaki Utsuki had just found Miyano Shiho locked in a room on the third floor under the guidance of a ghost in the factory.
The little girl, about three or four years old, was alone in the corner of the room. She didn't look scared, but rather alert. When she saw that it was her older sister she knew, she didn't rush over in surprise. It wasn't until she realized her older sister wasn't being coerced and there wasn't a kidnapper behind her who was in danger that she stood up, took a few steps, and whispered, "Sister Gexi."
"Are you hurt anywhere?" Kurosaki Utsuki quickly walked to the girl and squatted down. While speaking, he looked back at the door and said, "Don't worry, we are all safe."
It was at this moment that Fūya Rei's voice rang out. The direction of the voice was exactly the gate, and although it was a bit far away, the emotion it conveyed to her was very clear. In her memory, the boy's voice had never been so tense.
"Help! Kurosaki! Hurry up--"
Before he could finish his words, the girl whose name was called had already appeared in front of him. She easily confiscated the gun that was pointed at his friend, knocked down the man holding the gun, and then came to his side. The whole process took no more than three seconds.
"Here you are. Are you surprised? Do you feel that happy feeling of surviving a disaster?"
The corner of Furuya Rei's mouth twitched. The shame he had previously selectively forgotten about his best friend's safety suddenly surged back. To avoid the embarrassment that would have been enough to dig his way out of the basement, he immediately changed the subject: "Kurosaki, how did you suddenly appear?"
Although he did try his best to trust the girl whose fighting power far exceeded that of ordinary people when he shouted for help, he also wanted to delay time. If the enemy knew that they had companions here, they might keep them as bait to delay the time of killing.
I never expected that she would appear so quickly, suddenly appearing in front of me, as if she had teleported.
Moreover, now that she calmed down and thought about it, how could he have dragged her into this dangerous situation without hesitation? Even if she was good at fighting, the people on the other side were professional gangsters with guns. Although she had easily dealt with one...
"Hmm? You called me, and I came."
Kurosaki Utaki answered the question irrelevantly and handed the confiscated gun to him. At the same time, he raised his arm and pointed at the several men in black who just realized that their companion had been knocked down and started to pull out their guns.
"It's a bit childish, but I've wanted to say this for a long time—"
She smiled pleasantly.
"Then, let us enumerate your sins."
But soon she couldn't laugh anymore. After knocking down all the bad guys in black clothes who were probably here to divert Miyano Shiho, she suddenly noticed that the silver-haired man who was supposed to be lying on the ground was gone.
Not only that, the car that brought her here was gone, leaving only the fake nurse who had given herself the injection at the factory entrance.
Furuya Rei didn't notice her sudden stiff expression: "Kurosaki, have you found Shiho?"
"I found her. She's on the third floor. You can go in and find her." Kurosaki Utahi took her bag from Morobushi Kagemitsu, her eyes still moving around. "There are only two guards and a driver inside. I knocked them down at the entrance to the second floor."
The driver refers to the fake cleaner who brought her here.
The blond boy rushed in after hearing that, while the black-haired boy took a few steps forward but did not keep up. Instead, he turned to her and said, "Ge Xi, are you looking for something?"
"Looking for trouble... No, what's going on with you guys? Why are you facing these guys?"
Zhu Fujingguang felt a little aggrieved: "As soon as we arrived here, those men in black drove over. As soon as they got out of the car, they pointed their guns at us without saying a word. Then, Ge Xi, you came to rescue us."
Kurosaki Utahi took a deep breath and pointed in the direction where the car that brought her here should have been parked. "When you came here, did you see a car over there with a man lying next to it?"
The boy across from me shook his head: "I didn't see anyone on the ground, and there weren't any other cars."
...It's too bad.
Was she too gentle? How did that guy wake up? Not only did he wake up, he ran away! If she had known, she would have pulled the car keys out!
It couldn't get any worse than this—
"No way? No more?"
Kurosaki Uta hoped that no gas could be squeezed out of the spray bottle in his hand, and finally struggled to shake the bottle twice, but to no avail. The empty bottle could no longer squeeze out a trace of gas.
She had just given up on herself and cursed at the few men in black below. When she returned to the factory building to buy two more, they were all used up.
The remaining person didn't see her face when he was beaten, which is fine, but...
"Kurosaki? What's with that expression?" Furuya Rei, who was walking down the stairs holding the little girl from the Miyano family's hand, looked at her in confusion. "Hiro has already called the police. They should be here soon... What's that bottle in your hand?"
Kurosaki Utsuki was heartbroken: "It is a key tool to maintain a peaceful life."
But there is no place for Furuya Rei and Morofushi Kagemitsu!
Originally, she had wanted to turn this into a supernatural incident where everyone lost their memory, thus avoiding future troubles. But now, she could only resort to less reliable words of persuasion: "Furiya, Jingguang, when you arrived, those men in black were already lying on the ground outside the door. You don't know what happened, and neither do I."
Furuya Ling was stunned: "But it's obviously you——"
"A guy who was in the same group as them just escaped," Kurosaki Utsuki said sincerely. "I don't know his name, so there's probably no point in drawing his face. Besides, I'm not sure how many other people have slipped through the cracks besides him, and anyone who sends those bad guys at the door to jail is very likely to face retaliation. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhu Fujingguang frowned worriedly: "But what those people at the door said..."
"Don't worry about that, as long as our statements are consistent, it's fine." Kurosaki Utsuki clasped her hands together, and after arranging her friends, she squatted down to arrange the little girl. "Shiho-chan, do you understand too?"
Miyano Shiho, who is not even four years old this year but is a little genius, looked up and blinked cutely: "What do you understand? Shiho knows nothing."
Kurosaki Utsuki also blinked cutely: "Next month when I get my salary, I will give you a backpack."
The little girl was now genuinely happy: "Thank you, Sister Gexi!"
As police cars approached with sirens blaring, the kidnapping case, which lasted less than three hours, came to an end with the hostages being rescued safely.
·
Saturday, April 4th
Isn’t it time to come to an end?
"...I have nothing to say. I'm just an innocent victim. Please consult the police for the details of the case."
It was time for Kurosaki Utsuki to be discharged from the hospital. She had packed her things an hour ago, but was blocked in the room by two boys of the same age.
"But, Gexi," Zhu Fujingguang said earnestly, "those men in black who were defeated by you in front of us all swore that they were defeated by Batman."
"He even gave a very vivid description of a high-tech Batmobile," added Rei Furuya, "even though Batman only appears at night."
"Who knows?" Kurosaki Utsuki shrugged nonchalantly, a look that said "None of my business." "Teacher Gao Ming is already waiting in the parking lot. I'm going home."
After hearing that she had unfortunately been kidnapped, Zhu Fu Gaoming once again volunteered to pick her up from the hospital.
As she finished her words, there was a sudden knock on the ward door. Along with the sound of the door opening came a young male voice, unfamiliar to all three of them: "Excuse me, I'm your junior, Moruofu-senpai. I just happened to run into you in the parking lot. Since the person you were waiting for hasn't shown up yet, you asked me to come check on them."
Kurosaki Utsuki suddenly raised her head: "Leaving now, hiss——"
She let out a painful gasp as if a wound was pulled, and the two people beside her immediately looked at her nervously, but she just stared blankly at the person at the door. It was not her ribs that hurt, but her heart that did not want to get into any trouble.
Isn’t that the Shuichi Akai who was accidentally beaten by her the day before yesterday!
How could he be here!
What kind of vacation is this? Whoever wants to take it can take it! She has to go to school tomorrow!
