Chapter 40 Ming Shen Yong Yong 16
A thunderbolt flashed across the sky.
The dull and depressing rumble caught Sakaguchi Ango's attention. He looked out the window and saw that the sky outside had become overcast at some point, with layers of clouds piling up and weighing heavily on the government office building.
A cool breeze blew into the room, and the air was filled with a unique damp and fishy smell.
It's going to rain in Yokohama, Sakaguchi Ango thought.
He withdrew his gaze and continued to focus on the report materials.
A thick stack of papers was bound into a book, which was filled with densely packed bold fonts. Sakaguchi Ango looked at it for a moment and couldn't help but pinching his nose in frustration.
An experiment has been going on inside the government - senior officials and scientists are trying to use modern technology to deconstruct supernatural powers and spells, trace the origin of the power, analyze the operating principles, enhance existing capabilities, and finally...
Create new superpowers and techniques, or develop the potential of ordinary people.
This experiment has already achieved some success, and the special forces "Hound" is the product of this research.
Led by the "Far East Hero" Sakurachi Fukuchi, all members of the "Hound Dog" team have undergone supernatural surgery, and their physical fitness has been forcibly raised to limits that are impossible for humans to achieve, so they can easily block bullets with their bare hands.
The downside is that they have to undergo surgery once a month or their body functions will collapse.
This shortcoming is exactly the problem that the government wants to overcome.
Therefore, it is particularly important to investigate the mystery of Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's supernatural evolution.
Ango Sakaguchi thought of Wendy again.
More than ten days have passed since the boy disappeared, but every time he thinks of Wendy's face, he can't help but recall the thrilling battle and the boy's determined back in the hunting storm.
Don't hide or avoid, rather break than bend.
Sakaguchi Ango pressed his forehead.
After that day, he separated from Dazai Osamu and started their own investigations.
But a few days later, Dazai Osamu suddenly adjusted his priorities and put "investigating the whereabouts of the demon Fyodor" first, while Sakaguchi Ango was dealing with the enthusiastic urging from the government while slowly retracing the whereabouts of Shibuzawa Tatsuhiko.
So far, he has not solved the mystery of the evolution of superpowers, and he is even more confused about the object that Wendy is pursuing.
The only thing that is certain is the place where Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's supernatural power first appeared and changed - a desert somewhere in Egypt.
Through the ability of [Degeneration Theory] to extract the memory of items, and with the strong support of the government, Sakaguchi Ango obtained this important information within a dozen days.
But that’s where it stops.
After a brief moment of joy, Sakaguchi Ango discovered that the clues had been interrupted.
What did Shibuzawa Ryuhiko find in the desert? How did his supernatural powers change? Is Wendy related to this desert? Is this really the beginning of everything?
Questions kept falling on his head, and the answer to the mystery sank into the deep ocean. There was no way to recover it in a short time. Sakaguchi Ango had no choice but to write the report with great difficulty and deal with the dissatisfaction and criticism from government scientists.
However, things soon took a turn for the better.
I don't know when, but a surprising new force suddenly appeared in the world of magic.
While the Jujutsu General Administration Department was keeping a close eye on her, the Special Powers Division, also an agency under the Japanese government, naturally also noticed her.
The woman named Lei Dianying, like Wendy, seemed to have suddenly appeared in human society with a blank past.
This anomaly actually made Sakaguchi Ango feel relieved at this moment.
Instead of approaching rashly, he contacted Dazai Osamu first, and then secretly followed the whereabouts of Ray Shadow under the order of the Special Service Department.
If Ango Sakaguchi were to comment, he would think that Ray is a workaholic.
When she first appeared, she was exorcising cursed spirits; before joining the Jujutsu High School, she was exorcising cursed spirits; after joining the high school, she not only exorcised cursed spirits, but also cut down the back of the general manager's office, giving a full show of power.
...In view of the bad relationship between the Special Powers Division and the Jujutsu General Administration, Ango Sakaguchi did not comment on the brutal behavior of Rai Denying. Anyway, the moment they heard the news, everyone couldn't help laughing out loud.
After the farming chief laughed, hope was rekindled.
Since Lei Dianying is willing to stay in the high school and carry out missions for the sorcerer, there is no reason why the Special Powers Division cannot recruit her.
However, Ango Sakaguchi is not very optimistic.
He had personally come into contact with Wendy, so he naturally knew that they were tight-lipped and always kept to themselves. Even if they came with other people, it was at most temporary cooperation.
The office was quiet and solitude, making the ringing of the phone particularly harsh. Sakaguchi Ango picked up the phone, and Chief Taneda's voice came from the other end: "Ango, come over now."
Sakaguchi Ango said "Yes", and a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
He put away the piles of documents on the table and came to Chief Taneda's office. The moment he opened the door, Sakaguchi Ango was stunned - the person he had been paying attention to for the past few days was sitting on the sofa. In addition, there was Gojo Satoru, who was a headache for the general manager's office, and Edogawa Ranpo of the detective agency.
Lei Dianying tilted his head slightly, his eyes were as beautiful as wisteria flowers, yet so majestic that one could not help but hold their breath and concentrate.
After a brief shock, the first thing Ango Sakaguchi noticed was Rai Denying's cell phone.
...It looked familiar. There was no mistake. It was the phone that Wendy had used in front of them.
Ango Sakaguchi had no doubt about "how the phone was preserved". There are all kinds of abilities in the world, and it is hard to guarantee that Wendy does not have similar means. Ango Sakaguchi also wants to know why Ray chose to bring Wendy's phone to see him.
Being able to get Wendy's things at the last moment, Ray probably knows what happened at that time, which naturally includes the fact that Wendy sent them away and went to die alone.
So, was she here to remind me not to forget Wendy's protection?
...Even if he didn't do this, he would never be able to forget the boy.
Sakaguchi Ango: "Sir, what's going on?"
Chief Taneda stroked his bald head and said, "Miss Ying hopes that the Special Powers Division can help her and mobilize surveillance to find a fugitive curser."
In other words, he has a new job.
Is he the only employee in the Special Power Division?! If this continues, his hair will become the same as Chief Taneda's!
Ango Sakaguchi couldn't help but complain in his heart, and after complaining, he also realized the problem.
As he said, there are certainly more than one employee in the Special Powers Department, so he is not the only one who has to be mobilized to monitor and investigate this matter.
So, the farming chief specifically asked him to take charge, not only because he had contact with Wendy, but also because...
Sakaguchi Ango glanced at Ray Movie.
She said nothing, but looked back without hesitation, tapping the dark screen of her phone with her fingertips.
Also, this was nominated by Ray himself.
The reason why she asked herself to take responsibility must be related to Wendy.
