Chapter 20
[Oh my god, whose text message is this?] 】
[This is so weird, could it be the Special Powers Division?]
[I blindly guessed Ango]
[Shen Du, do you want to check your body? After all, you just came out of the house where the murderer was killed.]
[That's right. What if a bug is installed without anyone noticing?]
Won't.
Kamado Miru was relatively clear about whether there was anything installed on his body. If he couldn't even find this, he would not be worthy of being called "Super High School Level Hope".
The barrage guess should be correct. The other party of the text message may be from the official supernatural government of this world.
You can go and have a look.
This would help him better grasp Mr. Eguchi's information, that is to say - the meaning of his existence.
***
Sakuragicho is an elevated station heading to Tokyo, with the starting point at Tsurumi. Before taking the train, Kamado Miru took his wet clothes to a self-service dry cleaner and went to the station only after everything was ready.
He was sure that no one had followed him on the way here, but when he turned many corners and stepped into the street where the coffee shop was, he saw something unusual.
Someone was watching him in the dark.
Shen Du Jianliu stopped and carefully identified the other party's location. It seemed that he was in... an inconspicuous small post office diagonally opposite the cafe.
He glanced over there calmly.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. The gazes in this direction disappeared for a second or two. The white-haired boy ignored the subtle changes around him and stepped into the coffee shop mentioned in the text message.
The third room on the left.
It is a private room with relatively closed decoration and abundant artistic atmosphere.
The dark brown wooden walls were hung with small potted plants with lush green leaves. The beige and brown striped sofa added a touch of warmth here. The moment Shen Du Jianliu walked in, he noticed the black-haired young man sitting inside.
"Mr. Sakaguchi."
The door of the private room was closed and there were no windows, making the environment more private.
[It’s Ango after all]
[Are you going to start plotting something?! Stimulate】
[Is Shen Du sure to hand over to the Special Powers and Secret Services Department? In fact, I hope he can stay in the port wholeheartedly, so that his life will be much easier.]
[But the port is the uncle's enemy T^T]
[Gonghei is actually not suitable for a kind person like Shendu, he is born to be bright]
[I actually hope that Jianliu can relax a little. Seeing him working so hard to navigate the world, I simply can’t bear to feel depressed.]
[I'm always worried that Zai is watching from behind, are you sure no one has noticed this place? 】
Shen Du Jian Liu walked towards the small sofa without looking around, and said, "There's someone outside watching this place, a woman wearing sunglasses and a white shirt."
“…I’m glad you noticed.”
Sakaguchi Ango's expression seemed a bit complicated. He pushed his glasses and said calmly, "Leave it alone. He is the agent responsible for monitoring this operation. If there is anything wrong, he will notify us immediately."
"Um."
Kamado Kenryu sat down on the soft sofa chair indifferently.
"What would you like to drink?"
"According to the report we received earlier, Jiangkou once revealed that you like to eat strawberry cake. I ordered one for you in advance."
The black-haired young man with his bangs combed up with hairspray gestured with his hand to the exquisite little desserts on the table.
Shen Du Jian Liu: "..."
"Thank you, that's enough."
He didn't explain, he really hadn't eaten for a long time.
However, the style of this cake is different from the ones Mr. Eguchi often buys for himself, and the current conversation is a waste of time, so it is better to get to the point as soon as possible.
"Mr. Sakaguchi, what do you want from me all of a sudden?"
Ango Sakaguchi, who was sitting opposite him, was silent for a few seconds. The originally relaxed atmosphere turned into a solemn one. He sat up straight and took out a document from his briefcase.
"You've been to the flower shop, right, Shen Dujun? I learned about this and took the time to report your problem this afternoon."
"Do you want to join the Special Powers Division?"
…
It’s not a question of wanting to or not.
From the moment he stepped into the flower shop and opened the file bag yesterday, Shen Du Jianliu's position could only be classified as the Supernatural Special Agent Department.
If you refuse, the other party will not allow such a time bomb to walk in the port mafia.
Once again, it doesn't matter if you are in the Kamado-kan flow.
The organization is just a place for him to survive. Just like GSS, he has no loyalty to PortMafia at all. The only thing he needs to consider is the existence of Dazai Osamu.
But he has now thought of a solution, which is to continue to hide.
"There's no need to ask me these." This is already the default.
The white-haired boy had an indifferent expression.
Sakaguchi Ango: “…”
He didn't say anything. He paused for a while before putting his hand on the document he had taken out and slowly pushed it along the smooth table surface.
"This is a confidentiality agreement. Please sign it first."
"Um."
Shen Du Jianliu signed without blinking.
"I shouldn't be in charge of this matter, but you know, our current situation is very special."
"The higher-ups definitely can't call you back."
"Besides, Eguchi-kun and I are old acquaintances, so I will be in charge of you for the time being."
Seeing that Shinto Mitsuki had signed the document, Sakaguchi Ango breathed a sigh of relief and his tone became a little softer than before: "You have 15 days to observe the situation."
"I'm sorry, but this agreement has supernatural powers attached to it. Those who write down their real names must strictly abide by it."
"If everything goes well within 15 days, then Shen Du-jun will be qualified. After all, you know that the government cannot easily trust a person with unknown origins. This is actually a responsible trust between you and me."
[Here we go, let’s start painting the big picture]
[I understand, right? Such confidential matters must be handled with a bit of rigor.]
[Alas, has Shen Du gone to the official side? 】
[I feel sorry for Shen Du’s intrigue]
[By the way, is the host’s name his real name? 】
[In fact, I always feel that Shen Du's name is very similar to Kamizuru Izuru]
【Like +1】
[It may not be a big deal if it is taken alone, but when combined with what Liu said before, "super high school level hope", it becomes intriguing.]
[Super High School Level Hope... This is the title of Kamukura Izuru in Dangan]
Name?
Shen Du Jianliu sat in his original position, his icy purple eyes looking at the documents calmly.
Naturally, he wasn't called this name before his transformation.
The first experimental subject was named "Kamizuru Izuru" because he was given the name of the first principal and he bore the best expectations of all the senior management.
As the second experimental subject, Kamado Miru's name seems to be similar to that of his predecessor... or in other words, to the pronunciation of the first principal.
But in fact, his new name has nothing to do with the first-generation principal, but has been given a new meaning that belongs to him alone——
If God doesn't save me, I will save the world. Insightful views and true knowledge will be remembered by the world.
What he has to do is to lead everyone out of despair. Even if he is in a tiny place abandoned by the gods, he must spread the spark of hope to this broken world until the end of his life.
This was the new name given to him by his father, a senior official, before his death.
"Anything else?"
The pale and fragile-looking white-haired boy capped his pen and spoke in a very calm tone.
"…Do you want to know about Eguchi?"
Seeing the other party nod, Sakaguchi Ango hesitated and said, "I believe you also know the reason why he infiltrated PortMafia."
"Eguchi has been looking for an opportunity to kill Sasaki, the current port executive. To be honest, this is almost a fantasy."
"If he hadn't become a cadre, there might be some chance, but now the hope is slim because he strictly controls his schedule. Not only does he hold a high position, but he is also surrounded by many subordinates with extraordinary skills. Unless you have some special abilities, it will be difficult to even get close to him."
"And if there is any clue, Jiangkou's identity will be exposed, which will bring unnecessary trouble to the Special Ability Agent Department, and the higher-ups will not support it."
"Although the other party's resume is enough to make him a wanted criminal."
Shen Du saw Liu didn't say anything.
"Like I said just now, because he was too active, PortMafia noticed him and put him on the recent suspicious list."
Sakaguchi Ango looked a little silent: "You probably don't understand why Eguchi, as the leader of the armed forces, would go undercover, right?"
"I used the intelligence department's capabilities to give him the inside scoop."
"Eguchi met the top brass of GSS by chance through intelligence, and successfully passed the recommendation to be an undercover agent by using the excuse of knowing their top brass."
"In this way, I can just go to other organizations to avoid the limelight."
"You know what happened next."
…
I almost understand.
There is little hope, which does not exist for Kamado Miru. Whether the government agrees or not, he must kill the mafia official named Sasaki.
Because you are the one who brings hope.
Kamado Miru did not intend to tell Sakaguchi Ango, he just ate the cake obediently and remained silent.
The boy's well-behaved appearance revealed a bit of tranquility, but his pale lips were bloodless. He mechanically ate most of the cake in just a few seconds, and even the pink cream on the plate was scraped away without any waste. This made the black-haired young man opposite him couldn't help but say: "Shendu-kun, you are not feeling well, right?"
"Even if you really like sweet things, you should still control yourself a little bit."
"Um."
“…”
"Um, what do you think about your background and physical condition?"
"I'm sorry, I don't remember."
Kamado Kenryu didn't even think about it. He wiped his mouth and repeated to Sakaguchi Ango what he had said to Dazai before.
I don’t know what the other person was thinking about, and the conversation between the two was not long and ended in a hurry.
***
The agent squatting opposite the coffee shop has disappeared. It seems that the other party is unable to know the identity and appearance of Sakaguchi Ango. He left before the black-haired young man left, and it is estimated that he arrived after him.
Of course, Kamado Miru and Sakaguchi Ango also left at different times.
He walked slowly on the street, holding Mr. Eguchi's coat in one hand, and in his mind were some details about the other's life that Sakaguchi Ango had revealed to him.
There isn’t much news about the cadres, so we still have to go find Haruki Kojima.
I don’t know what plans Mr. Eguchi had made for himself before he died.
Shen Du Jianliu lowered his eyes, his scattered bangs cast a faint shadow on his forehead, and his purple eyes scanned the station which was gradually becoming lively and his current location.
I remember this place is close to where Mr. Eguchi was buried.
You can go visit.
He stopped, thought for a moment, then walked into a nearby flower shop and bought a bunch of lilies.
Holding a beautifully wrapped bouquet of flowers, Kamado Miru walked through small paths with fewer people and came straight to the riverbank that had the best view in the whole of Yokohama and connected to the sea.
Continuing forward along the path of his memory, he came to a lush and deep forest on the shore, and near the forest were relatively steep slopes and larger forests. He easily found the head of the cliff that was dotted with messy graves and had a view of the sea in his memory.
However, unlike what was imagined, there was an unfamiliar figure standing there unexpectedly.
The other person had his back to this side, and the gentle cold wind blew up his short hair. The place where he was standing seemed to be the first of all the graves - the tombstone with the words "Lantang" engraved on it.
The barrage of comments suddenly fell into deathly silence.
Shen Du Jianliu walked over without looking around. He did not get close to the man. After all, Mr. Eguchi was buried by him at the outermost edge of the cemetery.
He bent down and placed the lily in his hand in front of the tombstone. Perhaps the sound attracted the attention of the ochre-haired boy in front of him, but when Shen Du Jianliu stood up, he happened to look into the other's deep blue eyes.
"you……"
The delicate-looking orange-haired boy seemed a little surprised.
He looked at Shen Du Jianliu, then looked at the stele in front of the young man that he had never seen before and the unfamiliar name engraved on it, and his eyebrows twitched violently.
He knew this area very well and never knew when a new tombstone would appear.
As if he didn't believe it, he turned back and confirmed the name of the monument he came to visit for a few seconds.
It is indeed Lan Tang.
The orange-haired boy wearing a black top hat had a strange expression on his face. He looked up and down at Kamado Kenryu who was standing calmly opposite him.
"Who are you?"
