Chapter 12: Unscientific



Falling into a body of water from a height is actually very painful. In severe cases, you may faint, suffer fractures or even die.

You have tried your best to reduce the large-area impact between your body and the water surface, but you can still feel the huge pain of the impact at the moment of contact - but you still hold your breath to stabilize your body and adjust immediately - you remember what you have to do.

You must find your cell phone! It is your only window to the outside world.

The seabed is very dark at night. You hold your breath and dive into the sea with your eyes wide open. Your eyes feel a little swollen and painful, but when a strong penetrating light passes by above, you see your mobile phone - it is sinking not far from you!

Great—you immediately reach for your phone, swim upwards, and take a deep breath when you surface.

Thank you to the Metropolitan Police Department helicopter for its quick action all the way! You are so moved that tears well up in your eyes (?).

You swam to the bridge pier nearby and then checked your phone - hoping it wouldn't get damaged by water. You looked at your phone with some worry.

What will surprise you is that the surface of the phone is still extremely dry. Even the water on your hands cannot get on it. It is as if there is a protective film that blocks all water drops.

You: “…” This phone is the protagonist, this is too fantastic!

Maybe you can try using it to crack walnuts next time. A strange idea suddenly popped into your mind.

A few more beams of light swept down, and you immediately waved your hands vigorously. The Metropolitan Police Department obviously noticed you, and they focused their lights on you.

Finally you can be pulled out. It's all over. You breathe a sigh of relief.

However...it seems like it's not over yet for you.

You changed into the dry clothes provided by the Metropolitan Police Department and sat down in the reception room. Jinpei Matsuda sat opposite you with a smile on his face.

"How do you feel now?"

"It's nothing." You've already had a checkup and there isn't much damage to your bones and organs. You just drooled a little and your clothes got wet.

"That's good." Matsuda Jinpei nodded and took out a cell phone from his bag. "This is the cell phone that was taken away by the terrorists. I'm returning it to you now."

"Oh, thank you." You thank him verbally, but you become alert in your heart.

"But - there are some things we still need to ask you."

Here I come. You think to yourself. "Oh, OK, I will definitely cooperate with your work~" and put on a warm and simple smile.

"Well, are you in contact with someone codenamed HLJ?" Jinpei Matsuda asked straight to the point.

“Yes, it was this incident.” You nodded. “When I saw the signature, I remembered you asked me in the sushi shop if I knew this person—Is HLJ a man or a woman?”

"Let's use the male character for now." Matsuda continued, "How did he contact you?"

"He sent me a message after I won the grand prize," you scratched your head, "To be honest, I initially thought it was someone from the Suzuki Group... because the saleswoman told me that the Suzuki Group would contact me."

"What did he tell you?"

"It's about this bacteria incident. I remember you told me he was a good guy. He said he was on the same front with your Police Department... and asked me to be a temporary assistant." You paused, looking surprised, "Wait a minute, I won't be fooled, right? Could it be that this guy is not yours..."

"Ah, we do cooperate." Matsuda Jinpei was silent for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Can I see your message records?"

"No problem." You unlocked the screen saver on your phone, found the chat messages, and handed the phone over neatly.

Matsuda Jinpei read through it carefully, and you sat across from him relaxedly - these message records are all interactions between your two phones, there are definitely no loopholes.

"Okay, I understand." Matsuda Jinpei handed the phone back to you, "Thank you for your cooperation."

"Then..." You hesitated, "What should I do if he contacts me again in the future? Will I still be his temporary assistant..."

"Well, it's up to you," said Matsuda Jinpei, "but remember to notify us... You can contact me directly. We'll see if there's any criminal possibility or risk."

"Am I working for him for nothing...?" You pouted.

"You can ask him for some reward." Matsuda smiled, "If you cooperate with the Metropolitan Police Department, we will also commend you."

"It's mainly because I'm inexperienced and worried about being cheated." You rubbed the back of your head, "But with you guys here, I feel relieved."

"Although the background of HLJ is unknown, at least they are cooperating with our Metropolitan Police Department for now." Matsuda Jinpei crossed his arms, "We can trust them for now."

"I'll trouble you from now on." You thanked him, "I'll always ask you questions if you have any."

"Well, feel free to contact me." Matsuda Jinpei extended his hand and shook yours, "No matter what, your safety comes first."

The police department is over. You go home to rest for the day and test the hardness of your special cell phone.

Use a mobile phone to smash a walnut - the phone has no scratches, is intact, and... the walnut smells very good.

I tried to hit the phone with a hammer - the hammer was fine, and neither was the phone.

Hit the phone with a hammer hard - the hammer is fine, the phone is fine, but you are exhausted enough.

This phone is totally anti-scientific! You are staring at a phone that is spotless and clean as a new one. It turns out that only the supernatural can defeat science.

However, this is good news for you.

You sewed a sturdy inner pocket inside your clothes and put your special cell phone inside - I don't know if it can block bullets, but you used it as a heart guard =v=.

Conan comes to your store again the next day. He first awkwardly expresses his gratitude and concern, and then begins to test you in roundabout ways. In the end, you are so annoyed that you simply throw your phone to him and let him go outside the store to check the message history himself.

"Ah, it looks interesting~" Conan finished and returned the phone to you with a smile, "But why doesn't big brother want me to be in your store?"

"It's just a small business, and I can't stand the hardship." You patted Conan's shoulder, "In the hotel, the first day I met you, I realized your superpower of the god of death."

Conan: “…”

"Conan——" Xiaolan pushed open the door and walked in, "Ah, you are here after all. I couldn't find you just now."

"I'm here to play with Brother Jiang Lai~" Conan looked up and smiled childishly, "Brother Jiang Lai is super nice~"

"Ah, Jiang Laisang is really a nice person." Xiaolan said with a smile, "Come to think of it, my father was invited to go fishing this weekend, and we just happen to have three tickets to the suburban park. Jiang Laisang, do you want to join us?"

"Huh? Conan isn't going?" you asked.

"Conan still has to go to school." Xiaolan patted Conan beside her, "I'll take you out to play next time, Conan~"

"Then I'll go, thank you." The corners of your mouth curled up.

You really love fishing - your hands are itching after not fishing for so long.
