Chapter 20 Fighting, Kurosawa is online and about to hang up.
The cut on my neck started to bleed, and blood beads slid down, leaving a bright red bloodstain.
With the enemy in the shadows and himself in the open, Kurosawa Jin had no choice but to be on high alert and focus his attention on his hearing.
His ears twitched slightly, and he heard the sound of a silver blade cutting through the air from his left.
Kurosawa Jin dodged to the right, but a tuft of his hair was cut off.
A few strands of silvery-white hair floated leisurely in the air, dancing gracefully before tumbling to the ground.
A dagger that had been prepared beforehand slid out from Kurosawa Jin's sleeve and was held in his hand.
"Ping ping ping ping!"
The sounds of clashing weapons echoed continuously on the platform, demonstrating the ferocity of their attacks and their evenly matched strength.
Although Kurosawa Jin couldn't see his opponent, he managed to hold his own against Number Two thanks to his rich experience, keen hearing, and perfectly timed sixth sense.
"Hahaha, you're quite impressive. Looks like I underestimated you!" The voice of Number Two came from directly in front. If you listened carefully, you could hear that his voice sounded very similar to Naoto Eikai's.
After saying that, he lunged to the right, lunging to stab at Kurosawa Jin's abdomen, but Kurosawa Jin dodged it by sidestepping.
Fearing that the enemy might take the opportunity to launch a second wave of attack, Kurosawa Jin retreated a few steps, increasing the distance between him and Number Two.
"Do you dare to put away your superpowers and have a fair fight with me?"
Number Two said in a mocking tone, "Hahaha, I won't, what can you do to me!"
Hmm, that sounds a bit irritating.
"It was Naoto who told you my ability is invisibility, wasn't it? Ha, that traitor! One day I'll deal with him myself."
"With your skill level, you're trash!"
After a few words, Kurosawa Jin had basically figured out the location of Number Two from the sounds the other party made.
Next, it was time for him to retaliate.
As the saying goes, speed is the ultimate weapon in martial arts. As a high-level undercover agent who had spent many years in the organization in his previous life, with experience in intelligence, assassination, and technology, Kurosawa Jin's speed was like a cheat code.
Kurosawa Jin charged toward Number Two with indescribable speed, delivering a perfect flying kick.
"Ugh!" Number Two groaned.
He didn't give Number Two a chance to react, precisely positioning the dagger in mid-air.
The dagger was pointed directly at Number Two's neck, so Number Two had no choice but to deactivate his powers and reveal his physical body.
Then, a young man with chestnut hair and red highlights appeared out of nowhere. He looked exactly like Naoto Hideaki, except for his bloodshot eyes, which added a touch of allure to his demeanor.
Number Two looked incredulous, but gradually his expression returned to calm, even carrying a hint of madness.
"Yay yay, I surrender!" Number Two glanced down at the dagger gleaming coldly, then dropped his short blade and slowly raised his hands.
"You'd better behave yourself," Kurosawa Jin warned.
"Ha, honest?" Number Two scoffed, retorting, "How could I possibly be honest!"
“Ring ring ring—” He turned his wrist and rang the bell on his wrist.
The sound of the bells was crisp and melodious, ethereal and far-reaching, like the whisper of an angel, or the enchanting words of a demon from the abyss.
The ringing reached Kurosawa Jin's ears, and then he felt as if his soul had been punched and locked.
He lost control of his body!
What on earth is this thing?! Kurosawa Jin was terrified, and in his struggle against the control, he soon broke out in a cold sweat.
"Hahaha!" Number Two burst into laughter, unable to contain his joy.
"Die, Kurosawa Jin!"
Upon receiving the order, Kurosawa's left arm, holding the dagger, trembled involuntarily. He slowly moved away from Number Two's neck, then turned the dagger so that the tip was pointing towards himself.
Kurosawa Jin gritted his teeth, trying to regain control of his body.
The blade was getting closer and closer. If this continued, in less than thirty seconds, Kurosawa Jin's neck would be mercilessly pierced, blood would splatter everywhere, and he would die on the spot!
Tomorrow's headlines will, without a doubt, be: "Shocking! Kurosawa Group heir commits suicide at police academy sports meet opening ceremony!"
Just then...
"Bang!"
A laser beam shot out from the gun barrel, severing the arm of Number Two, who was wearing a bell. Blood splattered onto the uniform of the nearest Kurosawa Jin.
Without the bell's restraint, Kurosawa Jin quickly regained control of his body.
"Ah—" Number Two covered his wound with his only remaining hand, screaming as he glared at the culprit who had injured him.
Not far away, Instructor Zhongdian stood there, holding a high-tech pistol, looking incredibly cool.
"What!"
Number Two looked terrified. He hadn't noticed anything unusual at all. Why had someone escaped his control?
"Your plans are going to fall through today!" Instructor Zhongdian approached Number Two step by step.
"Who are you?"
“We’ve seen it, on the rooftop…” Instructor Zhongdian stopped there, leaving Number Two with endless imagination.
It was him! Number Two quickly recalled the scene on the rooftop that day. Even Number One couldn't handle this person. His mission today was in jeopardy.
"Heh heh, you can't catch me!"
Ying Haiquren, the second-in-command of the Anti-IF Line Alliance in charge of the Conan world, how could he not have any trump cards up his sleeve?
He pulled out a square box from somewhere, and the moment it was thrown into the air, it instantly grew larger, with eight sides simultaneously extending into a giant Gatling gun.
Upon seeing this, Kurosawa Jin realized something was wrong. Could that be a weapon that could fire in all directions?
Damn it, if Kurosawa Jin hadn't been the one being targeted, he would have really been tempted by this weapon.
As the box grew larger, a laser portal opened behind Ying Haiquren, and he walked into it with a gleeful smile.
"Goodbye, let my little cutie play with you~"
Kurosawa cursed under his breath and turned to look at Instructor Zhongdian. This level of weapon was beyond his ability to handle.
A blue light flashed, and a small, round blue ball floated in the palm of Instructor Zhongdian's hand.
Just as the giant weapon was about to be launched, the little blue ball suddenly grew larger and swallowed the opponent whole in one gulp.
The little blue ball seemed to have its own consciousness, nuzzling Zhongdian's hair contentedly and ingratiatingly, before turning into a bead that hung on its owner's waist.
Looking at the now empty stage, Kurosawa Jin felt that everything that had happened was somewhat surreal.
"Hey! Shouldn't we have a proper talk...?" He put his hands on his hips and looked at Zhongdian.
"Tanaka."
Tanaka smiled at Kurosawa Jin, whose face melted and changed, finally settling on Tanaka's face.
“You guessed right.” Tanaka clapped at Kurosawa Jin.
The surrounding scene remained frozen in time at the moment of the lighting ceremony.
The plastic sheets in the brazier undulated and curved, and the various leaders on the platform had different expressions, like wax figures.
Kurosawa Jin secretly glanced at the small blue ball at Tanaka's waist. "Who are you? Which side do you belong to? Are you really Tanaka Hitomi?"
One question after another was thrown at the man with Tanaka's face.
"I was going to keep it from you, since Gu Gu asked me to do it." Tanaka Hitomi waved his hand helplessly.
"Heh, I knew Gu Gu was hiding something from me." Kurosawa Jin smirked.
In fact, he had already thought of it. The alliance could easily kill him with any high-dimensional item, such as the mind-controlling bell.
However, the fact that Kurosawa Jin has survived to this day indicates that there must be another force secretly helping him, and this force is just as powerful as the Alliance.
"Now, let me formally introduce myself as Zhang Tongri, mission taker number 112 from the Time and Space Bureau."
"Entrusted by creators worldwide to protect you, and incidentally to carry out the mission of eliminating the Anti-IF Line Alliance."
The Anti-IF Line Alliance has always been a notorious force in the spacetime continuum, repeatedly violating the rules of spacetime.
Zhang Tongri extended his hand, intending to shake hands with Kurosawa Jin in a friendly manner.
However, Kurosawa Jintori ignored him completely and continued to ask, "Tell me your mission plan, and what do you need me to do?"
“You don’t need to do anything at all, just be the bait,” Zhang Tongri said meaningfully.
To this day, the Time and Space Bureau has been unable to completely eliminate the Anti-IF Line Alliance. This is partly because the core members of the opposing alliance are very powerful, and partly because the alliance's headquarters address is constantly changing and cannot be located. Without finding the root cause, it is impossible to destroy them.
Therefore, the Anti-IF Alliance has always been a major concern for the Time and Space Bureau. This time, Gu Gu approached the Time and Space Bureau, and the Time and Space Bureau took this opportunity to destroy the alliance.
Upon hearing this, Kurosawa Jin understood his role in the plan; in essence, he was just a little karami to lure the enemy.
Alright, alright, the fiercely competitive Kurosawa Jin is not happy about this, he's going to cause trouble.
"I want your powerful weapons, like the blue bead on your waist." Kurosawa Jin decided to ask the Time and Space Bureau for something in return.
“I can’t give you Xiao Lan, but I can give you this.” Zhang Tongri was surprisingly easy to talk to.
He tossed a ring to Kurosawa, saying, "This is a storage ring produced in a certain cultivation world. Everything you want is inside."
On the outside, this ring looks ordinary, but it contains a treasure that countless people crave.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony, I'll cooperate with you as much as possible."
All the lack of confidence stemmed from insufficient firepower; with high-dimensional weapons, Kurosawa Jin now feels terrifyingly strong.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Tongri reverted to his usual demeanor as Instructor Zhongdian and snapped his fingers.
In the blink of an eye, the world returned to normal, flags fluttered in the wind, birds flew freely, and it was the opening ceremony of the Games again.
To his astonishment, Kurosawa Jin discovered that not only had his injuries healed, but his blood-splattered clothes and the ground had become completely clean.
These people possess abilities that are truly enviable! Kurosawa Jin narrowed his eyes.
"Next, please welcome XXX to announce the opening of this sports meet." The announcement brought Kurosawa Jin back to reality.
A bald, middle-aged man walked toward the microphone.
"I hereby declare the Metropolitan Police Department Police Academy Sports Meet officially open!"
"Oh oh oh──"
The audience below the stage was in an uproar, with shouts, screams, and applause filling the air.
