Chapter 83: Dead Tree Revives in Spring 02

"Where does my little sister live?"

"Little sister, why are you here alone? Where are your parents?"

"Little sister, do you want to play games with the uncles?"

"Little sister..."

——A very classic and very stupid cannon fodder speech, which makes people wonder how they managed to get to where they are now in Yokohama where there are so many hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

According to the routine, it is the turn of the comic protagonist to make a shining appearance next. The protagonist will easily beat off these thugs and gain a fan girl in the author's close-up shot.

But unfortunately, there is no protagonist in reality. There are only pedestrians on the street who are indifferent to the matter, shop assistants who shrink back because they are afraid of the weapons in the hands of the gangsters, and the fake Teyvat Demon who is so weak that he gasps for air every three steps.

Xing Yewang: “…”

Xingye Wang: [System, conduct detection and identification. ]

He felt something was amiss.

How come the daughter of the port Mafia leader travels without anyone to protect her?

【Detection and identification failed.】

The number of the dice was not ideal. Hoshino looked around and made sure that there was no Mafia-like existence within the range visible to the naked eye. He began to feel troubled.

Reason told him that he didn't need to worry about it. The people who were protecting Alice were probably nearby and would arrive in a few minutes at most. But he had to be prepared for the worst. If something unexpected really happened and Alice and her bodyguards were separated, then he...

System: [Host, do you want to watch? ]

Hoshino Nozomi shook her head slowly.

He touched Lanzaka's cheek encouragingly and whispered, "Lanzaka, let's go help that little Nala, okay?"

The thin leaves on Lanzaka's head drooped limply, and the corners of her upturned mouth curled into a straight line.

It's not that I'm unwilling, but I'm a little afraid.

It was indeed a bit too much to ask Lanzaka, who even scared passers-by a few minutes ago, to fight the thugs. Seeing this, Xingye no longer forced him. They were just some street thugs, so he just had to be careful.

"Then you just stay here and wait for me to come back." Hoshino Wang put Lansaka on a chair beside him, stood up and walked to where Alice was.

He had the weakness debuff on him and was not walking fast. About half a minute later, Xingye Wang heard a small voice saying, "Lady Nashida, wait for me."

Lanzaca finally overcame his fear and followed.

Hoshino glanced to the side and saw Lansaka staggering towards him on his short legs.

It is called "rushing", but in fact it is just a little faster than normal walking. After all, Lanaro is short and round, and he can't run even if he wants to.

Xingye Wang stopped and waited for a while. Lansaka quickly caught up with him and reached out to grab the hem of his cloak: "Lord Nashida, let's go together to chase Badnara away!"

"Okay," Xingye Wang touched the small flower on its head and reminded it, "Don't be stubborn."

The street thugs who had gathered together soon noticed them approaching.

The leading young man turned his head in surprise, and after seeing that the person coming over was a little girl who was not even as tall as their waists, he smacked his lips in contempt: "Hey, here comes another one."

"Boss, this doesn't look like it has much money."

"Yeah, boss, look, she doesn't even have shoes on. She just came out wearing socks. Could she be a homeless kid from the neighborhood?"

Xing Yewang: “…”

These people really don't have good brains.

Although it is true that Caoshen Vest does not have proper shoes, other than that, his attire and appearance do not seem to be associated with the word "vagrant".

However, thanks to these words, Hoshino Nozomi was certain that the purpose of these thugs was to get money, not that they had some strange fetish for Alice.

He was relieved. This meant Alice had not been molested before.

"Hey, your target is me, don't hurt her." Alice suddenly spoke.

She only mentioned Xing Yewang, but her eyes were always fixed on Lanzaka beside him.

Lansaka was frightened by her stare, and timidly moved behind Xingye Wang and whispered, "Lady Nashida, this little Nala is so strange."

Hoshino took a step forward to block Alice's gaze.

The fact that the girl can see Lanaro means that she has supernatural powers. This may be the reason why no one is there to protect Alice.

Hoshino Mochi already felt a little regretful at this time. It seemed that even if he didn't come, Alice could deal with this group of people by herself.

...Why don't we leave now?

While thinking, the gangster started to act again.

Alice's words reminded them. She was a typical rich girl, and the clothes she wore were obviously expensive. With her around, the "waif" Hoshino Nozomi was naturally despised.

One of the thugs shouted "Go, go" to drive him away, as if he was driving away a stray cat on the street, with a hint of disgust in his contempt. Seeing that Xingye Wang was standing still, the thug impatiently stretched out his hand to pull him away, but when his hand was about to touch him, it suddenly froze in mid-air, with a greedy look on his face.

——Hoshino Nozomi took out a black card.

The smooth surface of the card reflects dazzling light under the sunlight, like a pile of gold.

That's right, gone are the days when the four gods couldn't even make up a Mora!

Praise the generous Gilgamesh!

Afterwards, Xingye Wang threw the black card in his hand upwards, and coldly watched the gangster jump up to snatch the black card, and silently said in his heart: [System, conduct agility identification. ]

【Agile identification, success.】

Xingye Wang kicked hard and rushed to the side of the gangster. In his stunned eyes, he jumped into the air, grabbed his wrist tightly, and pulled hard -

【Power confrontation, success.】

The young man, who was twice as tall as him, took advantage of the huge force and did a backflip in the air, landing face first on the ground, with his body and baseball bat falling to the ground with a series of "bang" and "bang" sounds.

Hoshino Nozomi landed lightly on the ground, raised her hand, and accurately caught the falling black card.

He shook the card: "Do you want it?"

The gangsters all shook their heads.

Hoshino Nozomi: "That's right. A gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way. We should rely on our hardworking hands to create a better life. What do you think?"

The gangsters all nodded in unison: "You are right."

Alice exclaimed in surprise: "You want to reason with them?"

"Everyone has the right to reform," Xingye Wang smiled, "I should give them a chance."

The thugs grabbed the unconscious young man's legs and tried to drag him away. After running for just two steps, Xingye Wang took a breath and slowly said, "A chance to go to prison and reform."

【Induction and appraisal, success.】

The air lit up with green lights, like fireflies dancing in the night sky.

These light spots gathered together to form the shape of vines. Xingye Wang waved them lightly, and the vines suddenly wrapped around the legs of the fleeing gangsters like an attacking python, hanging them upside down in the air. Before they could scream, several smaller vines branched out from the main trunk and hit them hard on the head!

Alice and Lanzaca were very supportive: "Wow, that's amazing."

Unfortunately, Hoshino Nozomi didn't continue to be so powerful.

After the fight, fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and dense black spots appeared in front of his eyes, making it difficult for him to focus.

Hoshino Moto said inwardly, "Oh no."

This body is too weak. He's probably going to faint.

I felt dizzy, and before I completely passed away, I saw a doctor's white coat and a chin with a stubble.

Hoshino Motoko didn't see clearly who it was, but he knew that only doctors would go shopping in white coats.

"..." He stretched out his hand to the doctor and opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

The next second, he passed out.

Lanzaca rushed forward, but because he was too anxious, he accidentally fell to the ground and rolled twice: "Lady Nashida, please don't die!!!"

The doctor who was shopping, Sen Ouwai, grabbed Lanzaka's leaf and asked Alice to control this unknown life form that seemed to be a supernatural creature. He went forward to check on Nashida and said, "She is not dead, she just fainted."

Lanzaca: “Really?”

Alice: "Although Rintaro is an idiot, his medical skills are still trustworthy."

"Little Alice actually praised me," Sen Ou Wai wiped away his non-existent tears, and under Alice's contemptuous gaze, he suddenly said seriously, "Oh, the police are here."

Two police officers and the store clerk who called the police came over. After seeing the gangster and Nashida fainted on the ground, the police looked at the store clerk in confusion. The store clerk glanced around the scene and pointed his finger at Sen Ou.

The police immediately took out the handcuffs and warned, "Don't move!"

It was as if he was regarded as an accomplice.

Mori Ogai: "This is a misunderstanding. What do you mean by that?"

He took a step back and spread his hands to show that he had done nothing.

He is truly innocent!

Shop assistant: "I saw it all! This little girl is a superpower. It was easy for her to beat up those thugs. But when you came close to her, she fainted!"

"Before she fainted, the little sister identified the criminal. She was referring to you!"

Mori Ogai sincerely suggested: "Do you want to see an ophthalmologist?"

"If you keep scolding me..."

"Okay, okay," the policeman stopped the meaningless quarrel, "Sir, come back to the station with me and make a statement. Once we have completed the surveillance and confirmed that there is no problem with you, we will let you go."

"As for this girl... Yamai, go call an ambulance and take her to the hospital."

"No need, she's just in a coma for a short time, she'll wake up soon," Mori Ouwai took out his doctor's certificate, "I'm a doctor, please trust me."

This girl and her pet are very interesting, and we can't let her run away from under our noses.

The police officer accepted his explanation, carried Nashida into the car, took Alice, Mori Owl and a few thugs, and drove to the police station.

Soon, the car stopped at the door of the police station. Alice held Lansaka in her arms, and Sen Ouwai held Nashida in his arms. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a mysterious young man standing at the front desk, putting a suitcase on the table. It seemed that he had picked up lost property and put it in the police station for people to claim.

After putting the things down, the young man turned around and walked away, with his hat pulled down so low that his face was almost invisible.

But Mori Ougai still recognized him.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa.

One of his most capable subordinates.

Mafia never go to the police station for good deeds, so Akutagawa Ryunosuke's appearance here must be to do something bad.

As for what bad thing it is...

Mori Ouwai slowly looked at the suitcase.

Maybe they just bombed the police station to establish the authority of the port Mafia.

Mori Owl: "..."

Is it too late to run now?

*

As the saying goes: A real man never looks back at an explosion.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke is such a real man.

He had bombed many places, and every time an explosion sounded, he would walk forward without looking back, never staying at the scene to avoid leaving evidence to cause trouble for the Mafia.

But what if... there was a leader among those who were bombed?

Outside the door, Akutagawa Ryunosuke reacted after taking a few steps: "..."

He turned around as fast as he could and rushed to the police station: "Rashomon!!!"

The leader cannot die!!!

At least you can't be blown to death by him! ! ! !
