Chapter 31 Days 6 and 7 (Minor Repair)

Thanks to the infiltration operations of Kikuka and Sakura, and the coordination between the inside and outside forces, the Investigation Division successfully took down this underground karaoke club.

When Inspector Megure received a signal from Akiyama Kanade and led his men into the basement, Miss Chrysanthemum, who was wearing a red dress and big wavy hair, was stepping on the interviewer with a vicious expression on her face, "Say what you just said again?"

The people below choked and repeated: "Little beauty, let me taste it first...ah! You made me say it!"

Miss Sakura, in a white dress and long straight hair, stood aside and calmly advised: "Forget it, Officer Matsuda, stepping on him will dirty your feet." Then he seemed to step on the other side inadvertently.

Inspector Megure: “…”

In order to celebrate this victory, Inspector Megure invited all the participating team members to celebrate at a pub in the evening. It was the first time for Akiyama Kanade to participate in such an event. She looked calm on the outside but was very excited on the inside.

Of course I changed back into men's clothes.

For some reason, the male colleagues who usually liked to give him some trouble said nothing when they saw Sato Miwako sitting with him. Instead, they avoided his sight intentionally or unintentionally. Sato Miwako also looked at him from time to time, and then sighed with regret.

Only Jinpei Matsuda seemed somewhat normal; he was sitting in the corner and laughing.

Akiyama Kanade: “?”

Although there is no evidence, there is good reason to suspect that he was being laughed at.

What's going on? Are ghosts invading the earth?

Akiyama Kanade hesitated and pulled out a prop [Fortune Teller] from the warehouse.

【fortune teller】

This item can temporarily grant the user the gift of fortune-telling. It can tell everything in the world, life and death, love and hate, and the underworld. The item will automatically be destroyed when its energy is exhausted.

Estimated number of remaining uses: 3 times

ps: The larger the project, the more detailed the result, and the greater the energy consumption.

Akiyama Kanade circled an area in the pub and measured whether there were any special energy bodies nearby. He was relieved when the result showed that there were none.

Maybe everyone's brain is broken, then it's okay.

Matsuda Jinpei sat down next to him without knowing when. He looked at Kyushu Haruki fiddling with coins with a cold face, looking weird, but he didn't look drunk.

"What are you doing?"

Akiyama Kanade glanced at him and said, "Fortune telling. Do you want me to tell you one? Your luck in love or something..."

"Then you count as one."

Akiyama Zou fiddled with the divination stick in his hand, then picked up a glass of wine and looked at the liquid inside.

"You originally had a beautiful love life, but it came to an abrupt end."

Matsuda Jinpei certainly didn't believe this, but he still asked, "Why?"

Akiyama Zou continued to look down. However, everything below was covered with a thin layer of mist. If he continued to calculate, he would need to start a new hexagram, the life hexagram.

After he told this, Matsuda Jinpei became more interested. "Then you calculate how many years I can live? Who of us will live longer?"

Akiyama Kanade was also a little curious. The Fortune Teller had one and a half chances left to use, so he simply used it up and got a detailed result.

Weird faxes, running cars, a moving Ferris wheel, a sweaty curly-haired policeman, an endless blue sky, an explosion like fireworks... He saw -

The curly-haired policeman will die in an explosion on a Ferris wheel.

The time is tomorrow.

It was the first time for him to encounter the strange phenomenon of fortune-telling today and dying tomorrow.

Akiyama Kanade raised his eyes. Matsuda Jinpei's cool and clear eyes were looking at him curiously. He knew nothing about his fate at this time. "How is it?"

Akiyama smiled.

"You will live a long life."

He repeated, "You will live a long life, Officer Matsuda."

"That's great." Jinpei Matsuda also laughed, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in a relaxed manner.

Akiyama Kanade was not talking nonsense. Fate is not unchangeable. Since he dared to say so, he dared to guarantee that Matsuda Jinpei would not die in this explosion.

After all, this was his designated VIP customer. Who on earth was so blind as to try to steal her from him?

Hidden behind the black-haired young man's drooping hair, a hint of cruelty flashed in his grey eyes.

The next day, just as Akiyama Kanade had predicted, the Metropolitan Police Department received a strange fax. The moment Jinpei Matsuda, who had been standing by the fax machine, received the fax, his expression and demeanor changed like a different person.

If Akiyama Kanade were to say it, it was like going back to the day when she first came to the First Investigation Division.

The laughter of the past few days seemed to disappear, and a fire was burning in his eyes hidden behind the sunglasses. Akiyama Kanade had no doubt that this fire would lead to his death.

Jinpei Matsuda determined that the location referred to in the notice was the Ferris wheel in the Haido shopping mall, and he flew all the way towards the huge rotating iron wheel.

Akiyama Kanade quietly left the moment the fax arrived. He had seen the end of everything in Matsuda Jinpei's fate, so he went there in advance.

In fact, he went there after the party at the pub last night, but unfortunately the criminal had already loaded the bomb.

Bomb disposal technology is indeed in his blind spot.

Another strange thing about Akiyama Kanade is that he is well aware of Matsuda Jinpei's abilities, and dismantling a bomb like this should not be a problem for him.

The results given by the fortune teller were all fragmentary, and he couldn't figure out why Jinpei Matsuda failed to successfully defuse the bomb.

It doesn't matter, he will find out soon enough.

After Jinpei Matsuda entered the No. 72 cabin of the Ferris wheel carrying a toolbox, he indeed found the installed bomb under a seat on one side.

Just as he smiled, he heard a faint but very gentle voice coming from behind him.

"Are you seeking revenge for your friend?"

He was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Akiyama Kanade, who was sitting cross-legged on the other side of the chair, smiling at him, "Good afternoon, Officer Matsuda."

"Kyusei," Matsuda Jinpei's eyes widened, "Why are you here?"

Why didn’t I see him when I came up just now?

Akiyama Kanade patted a piece of cardboard beside him, on which was a structure similar to the interior of the cabin. "It was just a little magic trick. You were focusing on the bomb and didn't see it."

Matsuda Jinpei looked down and realized that it was not realistic to let anyone go down at this time.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Stay there. I can dismantle this bomb right away."

Akiyama Kanade leaned back in the chair, propped up his head with one hand, his hair half disheveled, and yawned, "Well, I'll take a nap first."

Matsuda Jinpei: “…”

Although he was not nervous, this guy was too relaxed. He was still a bomb after all!

He lowered his head and saw a line of words flashing on the LCD screen.

"This policeman is really brave. I really have to praise your courage. I will give you a hint of where another bigger firework is. Three seconds before the explosion, you will see my hint. I wish you success."

Akiyama Kanade opened his eyes and looked at the LCD screen quietly.

So that's why. No wonder Jinpei Matsuda died in the explosion even though he had the ability to defuse bombs.

What a vicious heart.

Matsuda Jinpei informed the police officer below about the situation and hung up the phone to save power. He looked at Akiyama Kanade, who was lying on her side in a leisurely manner.

"Really? Why on earth did you come here..."

Akiyama Kanade didn't care. "It looks like we're going to die together, Miss Kikuka?"

Matsuda Jinpei's face darkened. He hated to be reminded of this. "Leave me alone." He took out a cigarette and smoked it, ignoring the no-smoking sign. "Would you like one?"

Qiu Shan smiled and said, "What you want to do most before you die is to smoke a cigarette?"

Matsuda Jinpei relaxed and sat down on the ground, "So what do you want to do most?"

"I tell you, will you fulfill my wish?"

Matsuda Jinpei raised his eyebrows. "It has something to do with me? No way?"

The black-haired man came closer and looked at him. His grey eyes were faintly smiling and sparkling. "Why not?"

Matsuda Jinpei was stunned.

"We will both die in four minutes, Officer Matsuda. In the final moments before death, can you grant me any wish I may have?"

His voice was very calm, like a river flowing quietly. However, beneath the surface of the river, it seemed as if there were surging waves, ready to burst into the water at any time. A kind of oppressive pressure spread in the small space.

His eyes locked onto him, then he moved closer and whispered, "Can I?"

Matsuda Jinpei unconsciously leaned back, creating some distance before finding his voice again, "What do you want to do?"

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." The man lifted the hair hanging from the ear and raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Close your eyes."

Matsuda Jinpei glanced at him, but in the end he closed his eyes out of trust. Then he felt something being put on his head and waist.

He opened his eyes.

The black-haired man still had a calm expression, but his cheeks were covered with a thin blush. He whispered softly, "Sure enough, she's as cute as I thought. Officer Matsuda is very suitable for this kind of thing."

Jinpei Matsuda tentatively touched the top of its head. It was furry and short...like a cat's ears. He then touched the back. Hmm, a cat's tail.

“…”

"Thank you, Officer Matsuda. I can die with my eyes closed. Ah, if I could learn to meow again, I would be even more grateful."

Matsuda Jinpei: “…”

What should I do if his colleague seems to have some strange habits?

"I refuse," he said fiercely.

The black-haired man sighed with a hint of regret, "That can't be helped. I don't like forcing others."

“…”

The countdown on the LCD screen was still ticking, with only one minute left. The two turned their attention back, and Matsuda Jinpei also put away his helpless expression - although he had not taken off his cat ears and cat tail, perhaps because he felt it was unnecessary. Under the explosion at close range, they would not even have corpses.

For Akiyama Kanade, it is not difficult to defuse the bomb or find the criminal. The difficult part is to find the location of the bomb before the criminal detonates another bomb.

The safest way is to wait for the prompt on the LCD screen to appear, so he will allow the countdown to continue.

Thousands of lives are at stake so we must be cautious.

His behavior is not inconsistent with Jiu Sheng Chun Shu's character. Although this scorpion beauty is cruel, he is also a hard-working policeman, and has forced himself into life-or-death dilemmas more than once. Otherwise, he would not have died so young with so many honors, and would have been promoted to police inspector immediately.

The speed of promotion is like riding a rocket. It is all achieved by risking one's life.

In the last thirty seconds, Jinpei Matsuda turned on his cell phone and got ready.

Akiyama Kanade still sat quietly in her chair, her back leaning against the cold iron sheet.

After the prompt appeared, Matsuda Jinpei tapped the keyboard quickly, and without turning his head, he said: "Hey, Haru, if..."

The black-haired man behind him looked out the window, the blue sky and a passing cloud reflected in his gray eyes.

Then, time stopped.

The butterfly has just landed on the pistil, the bird has just spread its wings, the raindrops condensed in the sky are about to fall, the slowly flowing Tsuchibutsu River is blocked by time, the street at the intersection is about to turn from red to green, the raised feet of the fleeing people fall in mid-air, and in the corner inside the huge iron wheel, the red LCD screen is frozen at 00:00.

The complete message has appeared, and Akiyama Kanade finally knows that the other bomb is in the Beika Central Hospital.

【Time Stop】

A high-level item that can cause a time stagnation effect. During the time stagnation effect, the user escapes from time and space and is immune to all damage outside of time.

To activate this item, you need to sacrifice your soul, and to use it, you need to burn your soul. Please note that once your soul is burned out, it cannot be regenerated.

Stop using it before the soul burns out, and the consumed soul can be slowly restored; near high-purity souls, the recovery speed doubles.

There is a high-level item area in the warehouse, where only a few items are lit up. Akiyama Souji had been to the high-level area several times since he knew about the warehouse, but the items in this area are more expensive to use, so he would not use them unless it was a special case.

But then again, burning the soul sounds scary, but if you control the duration of use so as not to burn the entire soul, this kind of trauma can be recovered.

Akiyama Kanade also checked the purity of his soul and found that his health bar was sufficient, enough for him to keep going for a while.

It may be a little painful when using it.

Matsuda Jinpei's time froze at the second when he was about to press the send button. He seemed to be about to say something, with his lips slightly parted. Akiyama Kanade patted him, and he was pulled into his own time and space and fainted. His phone fell to the ground, and the curly-haired man fell into his arms.

"This time we're doing it the other way around." Akiyama Kanade muttered, picked him up, stood up, and kicked open the cabin door.

Then it leaped down from the frozen sky and landed lightly on the ground.

He was not worried about what would happen after the [Time Stop] was lifted. When something too unbelievable happened and had too much impact on a large scale, the world would automatically make everything reasonable.

Because the absence of superpowers is the cornerstone of this world. The world will will not allow strange events to spread on a large scale, it will automatically adjust the events into reasonable explanations.

Akiyama Kanade did not put Matsuda Jin down immediately, but held him in her arms and walked slowly among the crowd.

no.

no.

no.

This is not...

He slowly moved among the crowd of people who looked like statues, and suddenly coughed softly. Akiyama Kanade swallowed the bloody taste rising in his throat and looked to his left.

Found it.

When everyone was running out of the park, the only man standing facing the Ferris wheel with the detonator in his hand was the one standing there.

Akiyama Kanade looked down at Matsuda Jinpei who was sleeping in his arms.

According to his investigation, about four years ago, Matsuda Jinpei's good friend Hagiwara Kenji died at the hands of this bomber.

He could kill the criminal right away, but Akiyama guessed that Matsuda Jinpei would probably want to capture him himself.

However, there is no death penalty in Japan, and even if the criminal is caught, he cannot avenge his friend.

Moreover, this bomber almost blew up the Beihua Central Hospital and killed so many people. Akiyama Kanade himself was unwilling to let him go.

He burned many souls to achieve a win-win outcome, so this guy must pay a price.

He stood there in deep thought for a while, suppressing two low coughs.

There is a solution.

【Decomposition】

A high-level item. It can slowly dissolve the target's soul. The dissolution time can be as short as three days or as long as one month. When the soul is completely dissolved, the target's body will also die.

To activate this item, you need to sacrifice your soul, and to use it, you need to burn your soul. Please note that once your soul is burned out, it cannot be regenerated.

Stop using it before the soul burns out, and the consumed soul can be slowly restored; near high-purity souls, the recovery speed doubles.

Warning: For human use, the burning rate will be doubled, please use with caution!

Akiyama Kanade simply ignored the warning and cast the dissipation effect on the bomber.

Tsk, money can’t buy happiness.

Then he put Jinpei Matsuda down, thought for a moment, and put away his cat ears and cat tail - he couldn't let others see this, or he would be beaten to death by Officer Matsuda - then he asked Jinpei Matsuda to stand against him, took out handcuffs and handcuffed the bomber's wrists to Jinpei Matsuda's.

After doing all this, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

As a person from the other shore, normal physical attacks cannot cause pain or real damage to his body, but the pain of using high-level items to burn the soul is real, as if to remind the user to stop using the items in time. The more it burns, the more pain the body will feel.

Akiyama Kanade hadn't felt pain for a long time, and she even savored it.

Realizing that he couldn't delay any longer, even though he knew that Matsuda Jinpei couldn't see or hear him, he still smiled and said softly, "Now you can get your revenge. Congratulations, Miss Kikuka."
