Chapter 46: Ming Shen Eternal 22

The system's electronic voice sounded, and the scene in front of me suddenly changed.

This is a living room. Under the pale incandescent light, Mimiko and Nanako are sitting together, fiddling with spell tools out of boredom.

Nanako cursed under her breath while tapping her phone.

Judging from the content of the conversation, they had just come into contact with Nose at this time, and they were both angry and helpless about the fact that he had taken over Geto Suguru's body.

Nanako and Mimiko could only suppress their dissatisfaction and agreed to assist his plan in order to get Geto's body back after it was over.

Before Noose issued the order, the two of them were not idle either.

Nanako wanted to collect as much information as possible, so during one of their attempts, they caught a glimpse of a corner of the contents of the torn page, but Nozomi reacted quickly, changed the subject in a few words, and put away the torn page.

The memories extracted from Mimiko and Nanako were limited, but useful - at least, Hoshino Nozomi finally knew the real name and basic information of the young man in the white hat.

The leader of the underground intelligence organization "Rats of the Dead House", a member of the Russian terrorist organization "Five Evils", "Devil" Fyodor.

And his ideal - to create a world without people with special powers.

Due to the special nature of cursed spirits, Fyodor did not seem to consider the sorcerer as a mission target.

His special ability can cause sudden death of anyone who comes into contact with it, but when Fyodor talked about his special ability, there was a hint of interest in his eyes and his tone was not so sure. Fyodor's real special ability may not be as simple as it appears.

But what exactly it was, Nozomi did not say clearly, and he probably didn't know it very well.

Fyodor agreed to assist Noose because Noose's plan could also eliminate a large number of mutants.

A powerful sorcerer who has survived for a thousand years can indeed be considered a good partner.

But if it was just for this little help, I would hand over the remaining pages without hesitation and put all my hopes on the noose...

Hoshino Nozomi thought that if this was true, then Fyodor was somewhat naive.

Between "Fyodor is a kind-hearted naive Russian" and "Fyodor has other plans", Hoshino Nozomi chooses to believe the latter.

So, does Noose know?

Or is he actually just a chess piece?

He had no idea about these things for the time being. Hoshino Nozomi pulled himself out of his memories and looked at the progress of the recovery of the forbidden knowledge.

This time the progress bar has only advanced 5%. Combined with the forbidden knowledge recovered from the senior management of the Directorate last time, the total progress bar has barely reached 40%.

In other words, the characters I've encountered so far are all minor ones.

The main problem should be the noose... no, Fyodor.

Hoshino Nozomi is now curious about Fyodor's mental state.

Different people have different tolerances for taboo knowledge. If his tolerance is so high that he has remained awake until now, then that would be a problem.

His fingertips unconsciously tapped the car's armrest. Seeing this, Mimiko asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Hoshino Nozomi shook his head.

He was thinking about something else.

Why didn't Hound know that Ray was coming to arrest Nanako and Mimiko? He guessed that there was a mole in the government, but he wasn't sure.

Hoshino Nozomi took out her cell phone and sent a text message to Ranpo Edogawa.

The famous detective from Yokohama quickly gave the answer.

It was similar to what Hoshino Nozomi guessed. Not only the senior officials of the Directorate General, but also some people in the government must be on the side of Nozomi or Fyodor.

That’s why the noose can flexibly avoid surveillance in time, and the three “hounds” can receive the mission, arrive at the scene first, and make the arrest.

If Tetsuji Suehiro and his men really caught Nanako and Mimiko, they would probably be immediately executed in secret.

Xingye Wang glanced at his sisters beside him.

For some reason, he felt a little relieved.

Edogawa Ranpo: [Ango and I will be careful about this later, but first we can rule out the possibility of the fire at Taneda Mountain.]

[Are you so sure?]

[Otherwise his behavior would be contradictory.]

Edogawa Ranpo suddenly changed the subject: [What will they do next? Even if there is no noose, they are still wanted cursers.]

[I know.]

[Do you really know? You saved them because you thought of your own experience, right? They are different from you. Is it really okay to project your emotions onto them unwillingly?]

Xing Yewang: “…”

What a sharp question.

But he didn't think too much about it. He even kept emphasizing that he didn't help intentionally, but had other purposes.

[You think too much.]

[I have six points to make.]

[Please speak.]

Edogawa Ranpo: [……]

Xing Yewang: “…”

It really is six points!

It felt like I was being mocked. Although it wasn't meant maliciously.

Hoshino Nozomi thought about how to respond for a while, but found it difficult to give a satisfactory answer, so he simply gave up.

A moment later, Edogawa Ranpo sent another message: [Anyway, it's OK as long as you understand it in your heart.]

Xing Yewang was silent again.

[By the way, Ango has to write a report of several thousand words about the conflict between you and Hound. He seems a little upset.]

[Excuse me.]

[But you’ll still dare to do it next time, right?]

Hoshino Nozomi did not deny it, but asked: [Who asked him to write the report?]

[This "next time" is coming too soon! I don't think Ango is going to let his boss take your blow! He'll have to write more reports! Hand it over to his boss's boss!]

Hoshino thought, forget it, respect Ango's personal wishes and he should be more restrained next time.

Hoshino Nozomi exited the communication interface with Edogawa Ranpo, and the name of Nakahara Chuuya stood out in the address book.

A few days ago, when he didn't know Nozomi's true identity, he asked Nakahara Chuuya to investigate the hospital files, but the final result was naturally nothing.

When Nakahara Chuuya relayed the result, Hoshino Moto didn't want to say much and responded hastily. However, Nakahara Chuuya was also very sensitive and understood that he probably already knew something. He didn't continue to ask questions, but only said that he could still come to him if he needed anything.

Hoshino Nozomi guessed that this might also be related to the instruction of Mori Ougai - since Chuuya is not good at lying, he might as well play the emotional card to get information.

Chuuya is very loyal to the Port Mafia and naturally will not refuse any request from the leader.

Hoshino Mochi, however, did not feel disgusted.

He knew that in addition to this, Zhongyuan Zhong also valued the time they spent together.

That's enough.

The taxi was still moving forward. Lei Dianying pressed the window, and damp cold wind poured into the car. When the glass was lowered halfway, she seemed to realize something and silently raised the height of the window, leaving only a thin gap.

Mimiko tilted her head, as if she wanted to say something, but she was hesitant.

Lei Movie: "Don't worry too much, just say it if you have something to say."

Mimiko glanced at the driver and then asked, "Excuse me, why are you helping us?"

"I have already answered this question," Lei Dianying replied as usual, "If that is all you want to ask, there is no need to ask further."

Mimiko was silent for a moment: "So what do you want to know from me?"

"I already know that."

Mimiko remained silent.

From beginning to end, she didn't reveal any information to Lei Yingying. Lei Ying said this probably to prevent her from asking any more questions.

So, Ray didn't ask for anything, he just came to save them?

Doubts kept lingering in her mind. Mimiko didn't want to ask questions in the car, but the destination of this trip was the technical college, and she might not have time to discuss it with Lei Dianying by then.

She knows who is in the college.

——Gojo Satoru.

A former close friend of Master Getsu.

When Geto Suguru adopted them, the two had already parted ways. Mimiko and Gojo Satoru had actually only met a few times, and most of the time they were still provoking each other as members of the Pansei Cult.

They never thought that they would step into technical high school again one day, and the atmosphere would definitely not be as peaceful as it is now.

"What happens to us next?"

"I will explain this to the Director General's Office."

"Revoke the pass...?" Mimiko's voice was a little vague. "We don't care about this."

"I understand," Lei Dianying said, "Even without you, Gojo Satoru will not let Noseso continue to act recklessly. I will tell Gojo Satoru that you will go together to deal with Kagome Kyo's body."

"As for where you will stand in the future, I have a few ideas. Once Nanako wakes up, I will let you choose."

Mimiko whispered another thank you.

The driver didn't understand their nonsense and only understood the word "body". He thought that their relatives had passed away, no wonder the two little girls looked so bad.

The slightly older woman, on the other hand, remained calm. Although her tone was a little cold, she was very caring towards them in her actions. She was a gentle person.

The taxi finally stopped.

"We're here," said the driver.

Lei Dianying was the first to get out of the car, and when Mimiko came out, he pulled her aside and said, "Don't worry."

"What happened in the past is in the past. They are not impulsive people."

"They" naturally refers to Zenin Maki and others.

As if to prove what Ray said in the movie, they ran into Zenin Maki and the panda.

The two of them looked as if they had seen a ghost. Zenin Maki immediately took out her cursed tool and raised her naginata, pointing the tip of the blade at Mimiko: "Teacher Ying, what's going on?"

Raidenying dodged the blade and half-blocked in front of Mimiko: "Maki, put away the knife, they are not enemies now."

Zenin Maki's hand, which was tightly gripping the hilt of the knife, stiffened. She raised her eyes and looked into Raikage's eyes. Raikage called her name again.

Zenin Maki finally retracted her strength and pointed the knife downward: "Okay, I understand. Since Teacher Ying said so, there should be no problem."

"...Ah, there's more..."

"What?"

Zenin Maki choked and said, "No, nothing... it's just that Gojuan returned safely to the high school. After accompanying you on the mission, he returned to the high school."

She thought she had hinted clearly, but Lei Dianying didn't stop, as if he had no idea what she was saying: "Well, you guys should have a good rest."

"Oh...oh...ok."

After Lei Dianying walked away, the panda poked Zenin Maki's shoulder and said, "I didn't show my concern properly."

"I know, but it's not an easy thing to do. I'm not good at comforting people... How dare you say that to me? You didn't even say a word!"

College, reception room.

Raiden put Nanako on the sofa, and sent a text message to Gojo Satoru, asking him to finish his mission and come back after buying Kikufuku.

Not long after, Gojo Satoru came back.

He swung his long arm and pushed the door open: "I heard that Xiaoying missed me a lot! Being too popular with girls must be a real problem, hahaha - eh?"

He, Mimiko, and Nanako, who had already woken up, looked into each other's eyes.

Gojo Satoru's cheerful tone softened slightly: "Xiaoying actually brought them back. I'm a little surprised."

Ray Movie: “Yeah.”

"What kind of answer is 'hmm'... Never mind. I get it."

Gojo Satoru smiled helplessly.

Xing Yewang: “…”

What do you understand now?
