Chapter 79 Light and Darkness, No One Can Make the Choice for Me
After Feng Jiyejian hung up the phone, he stood in the carriage opposite the two men, and silently watched the dangerous battle outside through the broken part of the train. Miwa Mikai stood beside him, not daring to say a word while he was talking to someone.
Conan and Akai Shuichi were waiting, but after waiting for a long time, nothing happened on the scene. The wind was getting stronger, as if it was going to sweep up the rain, playing a wild song in the dark night. Just when Conan couldn't wait any longer, and the monster was about to punch Nozomi Nozomi and Furuya Rei, something indescribable happened -
Everything around seemed to be still, and people's minds were stretched. A white circle appeared in front of where the monster's fist was falling, and the bright light radiated to the surroundings, covering them with a thin layer of soft gauze. The monster didn't care about that. Its fists were powerful, like siege artillery. Its muscles bulged high, pushing away the wind and rain, creating a vortex of air flow... and at this moment, a hand gently stretched out from the white circle.
The knuckles of this finger are long and slender, and the skin is smooth, as if it were carved from white porcelain, with every part perfect. Its movements are very slow, but it appears in front of the monster's falling fist and uses its palm to make a simple blocking gesture. This feeling of time dislocation made the onlookers feel uncomfortable. But judging from its appearance, it didn't look like a match for that fist, and Conan subconsciously became nervous.
It is at this moment.
"Fighting is prohibited here." A strange and clear voice appeared in everyone's ears. His voice was not loud, but it penetrated the storm and heavy rain and appeared clearly in everyone's ears, as if he was speaking gently beside them.
The monster's hand stopped. It's not that it doesn't want to move forward, but no matter how hard it tries, there seems to be a distance in front of it that it can't reach, making it unable to smash the hand into a pulp. It was so angry that it concentrated all its strength here, but it couldn't move forward even a bit.
No, it's not that it couldn't move forward, but its body was restrained, an invisible thing preventing it from throwing that punch. It was extremely violent, and the entire monster seemed to be about to explode.
But don't wait for it to react. The next moment, the palm moved, its middle finger bent, and it flicked lightly.
"Mutation is prohibited here." At the same time, the voice said again.
With a flick of his finger, he broke through the distance that the monster could never break through and bounced onto the monster's fist. The monster seemed to have been hit hard and crashed into a tree behind it at a high speed. The tree was knocked down and the monster fell to the ground, stirring up a lot of mud and water. It cried out in pain, and the sound echoed through the night. But soon, it stopped and stopped moving.
Everyone was shocked and looked at that hand as if they had seen a god.
Seeing that the effect was achieved, he paused and slowly withdrew his hand. The white halo also disappeared. Just like when it came, it left silently, as if it didn't want to alarm anyone.
The rain suddenly began to fall again, and Conan breathed heavily, as if he had escaped from solidified amber. Everything that happened before seemed like a story from another world, full of the mystery and absurdity that could only be found in fantasy novels. But the monster's current appearance showed that everything was not fake. He looked at Shuichi Akai and found that this elite agent of the FBI was also in a trance, shocked and unable to recover.
No one spoke, and everyone could hear their own heavy breathing.
After a long while, Conan heard Akai Shuichi muttering in a low voice: "The Transcendent..."
Is this the Transcendent? Conan clenched his fists. He couldn't imagine that he was actually living in the same world with such an existence. What was the material worldview he had learned before?
+369
The new vest only slightly exposed a corner, but it gained so many highlights. It can be seen that the people at the scene were shocked and horrified by his power. Wang Chuanshe was the first to break the silence. He smiled and said, "It's such a powerful force that it's hard to understand. But at least we have saved our lives!"
The atmosphere relaxed. Fūya Ling sat on the ground, looking disheveled, with his short light blond hair sticking to his face. He groaned, covered his face and said, "How can you say you have saved your life? In that situation just now, I was the only one who was really going to die, right?"
Looking at the river, he just smiled and said nothing. Conan said quickly: "In that situation, Officer Furuya was really brave to come forward to help. Fortunately, you are okay, otherwise..."
Before he could finish his words, the FBI agent next to him walked forward and said, "Officer...Furiya?"
Furiya Rei also stopped moving. He turned his head and looked over here through the rain. The wind was still strong, but the people present were not ordinary people. He saw Akai Shuichi's face, and suddenly, a surge of anger rushed to his mind. He got up and said through gritted teeth: "So it's you, Akai Shuichi!"
Oops, did I say something I shouldn't have? Conan reacted quickly and understood from their expressions that they must have a past. Wang Chuanshe watched from the side with a smile.
Conan wanted to find someone to interrupt this awkward situation, but when he saw his appearance, his head started to hurt.
But fortunately, the two men were calmer and more rational than he had imagined. At least, in Furuya Rei's current exhausted state, he was too exhausted to cause trouble. He simply asked, "What was that situation that appeared at the end?"
Compared to Gin, or even the monster that Gin transformed into, this kind of power that seemed to be on another level was what they should pay more attention to. People like them usually represent the country and generally think about issues from the perspective of the country.
"What's going on?" Akai Shuichi repeated. He remembered that he had promised to accept the "invitation" before, and his expression was a little complicated. "Transcendent, you should know." He asked.
Furutani Rei also became serious. He didn't know much about the monster just now, but he still knew about the psychics. After all, they were a group of people who could determine the direction of the world war, and the significance of the transcendents to Japan was particularly different.
"Who is he?" he asked quickly.
Akai Shuichi sneered and said, "I don't know either." He didn't say how he provoked him to take action. He just turned around and waved his hand, saying, "Don't think about that kind of person. What you should do now is to contact someone to clean up this place."
How could I not think about it? Furukaya Rei stared at his back with a knife in his eyes. This place is not Japan, and what should be done is to let the country contact this territorial country. However, his eyes flashed. The transformed Gin should not be left here. It is better to have someone transport it away in advance. What happened in it is not something they should know.
Moreover, Fūya Ling recalled the feeling just now. At that moment, it was as if the ownership of this space had changed, and every bit of it was marked by someone else. This kind of power that seems to be able to change the world is truly terrifying.
Conan came over sheepishly. Furiya Rei did not blame him. He just sighed softly and said, "Perhaps from now on, my other identity will not be so important. The organization..."
Looking at the scene left after the battle around him, he suddenly woke up: "Yes, Gin..."
In the darkness, someone slowly walked towards them.
Gin seemed to have just woken up from endless burning anger and resentment. He seemed to have gone through a torture that seemed to have no end. After walking all the way, he finally poked his head out of the mud and took a breath.
He slowly turned sideways, half of his body numb, and began to recall his experience before he "fainted". He fought with the woman named "Higanbana", a madwoman who was determined to drag him down even if she died. In the end, they fell down together...
The footsteps stopped in front of him. In the darkness, Gin saw his face clearly: "Ah, it's you, Collins. You betrayed the organization."
Collins was wearing a black suit. He stood in the wind and rain, looking at Gin's fallen body. He was not as tall as before, and had lost the challenging appearance of the cursed spirit. Only half of his body still retained the alienated form.
Miwa Mikai listened to what Gin said with fear and trepidation.
Kazesami Nomi shook his head: "Gin, betrayal without choice from the beginning is not called betrayal."
Gin's eyes were deep: "How many people like that guy are there in the organization?"
Kazesai Nomi knew he was talking about Hana Nagase, and he whispered, "Many."
Gin wanted to laugh, so he laughed. The rain flowed down his face, making this man who used to be ruthless and strong seem to be crying: "You have waited for this day for more than ten years, right?"
"Not for long," Kaze Matsuri Nomi said calmly, "In fact, at the beginning I just wanted to have my own power. You know, a person can pretend to be weak, but he can't be really weak, because maintaining his 'weak' life also requires strength. When I had the power, I didn't plan to do anything, because to me, being inside or outside the organization is the same. But recently, Rum wanted to get rid of me because he had a newcomer ready to be promoted, and he also wanted to completely subdue Hana Nagase, so my existence was a bit of an eyesore to him."
Gin tried to blink: "So you're going to resist?"
"Yes," Feng Jiye said, "You know, if I want to try to change his mind, I have to expose something. After the exposure, he might doubt me and give me more dangerous tasks. For this reason, I can only give more things step by step until the boss of the organization also pays attention to me. My status may be improved, but my previous actions made it impossible for me to gain their trust. But in such an organization, I must gain their trust, so I can only risk my life for them again and again..."
"But why bother?" Confusion was revealed in his eyes: "I don't really want to gain the trust of those two old guys."
“Instead of going through this whole process and getting yourself exhausted and bloody on your hands,” he said, “we can just streamline the process and get to the end.”
"That is, just kill the entire organization!" Feng Ji Yejian clapped his hands, with a look of complete indifference on his face. Miwa Mikai was trembling behind him, wishing she could shrink and disappear. "This way, no trouble will come to us." said Kazejinomi.
He was not doing this for justice, or to break free from the darkness, or for the sake of his subordinates. He did it just for this reason.
"I can choose darkness, but it must be my own choice," he said, looking directly at Gin, "Light and darkness, no one can choose for me."
Gin saw through the man's inner self in an instant. Under his lazy and meaningless appearance, he had an absolutely arrogant heart. He looked down on everyone in this world. In his eyes, everyone was just a pawn, the only difference between them was their value. Even if not today, one day in the future, he will overturn the entire organization as long as it does not go his way.
"You... cough cough, you..." Gin said in pain. He covered his chest, as if he couldn't bear it.
Kazejinomi wanted to hear what he said clearly, so he took a step forward.
Gin lowered his eyes, and his body suddenly jumped up. Like lightning, he was about to insert his strange-shaped hand into Fuujirovichi's throat. But the next moment, he began to spit out blood in large mouthfuls. He looked down and saw that Feng Jiyejian's hand was clenched into a fist and hit his abdomen heavily. The force of the blow was so strong that his transformed body couldn't help but bend slightly.
It was inconsistent with everything he had shown before.
"...hypocritical guy." Gin whispered in his ear. He fell down.
How disgusting, the look in his eyes seemed to say.
Kazejinomi shook his head, took the towel handed to him by Miwa Mikai, and wiped his hands.
"I knew that with your personality, you would never give up easily." Feng Jinyejian sighed.
The last thing Gin saw was another figure waiting there on the road that Kazematsu Nomi was leaving. The two didn't speak when they met. Feng Jiyejian continued walking forward, while the man turned around and glanced at him with a smile on his face.
It’s Wangchuanshe! He smiled and looked at him, then left with the person in front.
Gin closed his eyes.
