I don’t know how long I ran, from early morning to night, and from night to early morning.
For a whole day and night, Higashino Eiji ran tirelessly, just to get away from the place where Kyogoku Qiong appeared.
Now, he finally left the place that terrified him.
A ramen restaurant appeared not far away, and the ramen on the sign looked delicious.
After running for a whole day and night, Higashino Eiji felt a little hungry.
Although becoming a transcendent can reduce the number of times one eats in some cases, transcendents are also human beings. Unless one is extremely powerful, one still needs to eat.
Especially people like Eiji Higashino who became extraordinary through external forces.
The Pearl of Despair possesses extraordinary powers, and Higashino Eiji is just an operator, just like the relationship between a gun and a soldier.
Without any hesitation, the hungry Eiji Higashino walked towards the ramen restaurant.
Even though he didn't have a penny in his pocket, Higashino Eiji was open-minded enough.
"What would you like to eat, sir?"
Seeing Higashino Eiji walking straight into the store, the honest store manager immediately came over and said to Higashino Eiji with a smile: "Sir, I can tell at a glance that you are the kind of travel enthusiast who often travels outdoors, right? I guess you must have suffered a lot to get here."
The store manager gushed, "I would like to recommend our signature ramen - eel ramen. This dish..."
"Don't talk so much, just give me two first."
Higashino Eiji was already starving at this time, and he couldn't hear any of the store's promotions at all. He said impatiently: "If it's not delicious, I might smash your store."
"Hey, don't worry, this is our signature dish." The store manager assured, patting his chest.
I don’t know if it was because of the motivation of Higashino Eiji’s words, but the manager was very fast. He prepared two servings of eel ramen in just a few minutes and placed them in front of Higashino Eiji’s table.
Higashino Eiji didn't hesitate to eat it up.
The posture and movement made the store manager suspect that this was the reincarnation of a starving ghost.
"A guest who suddenly disappeared just appeared two days ago, and now a starving ghost has come again."
Not far away, watching Higashino Eiji wolfing down his food, the store manager couldn't help but whisper, "I heard that some ghosts, demons, and murderers have appeared in the past two days. Could I have encountered them?"
"Alas, this business is becoming increasingly difficult."
After saying that, the store manager casually turned on the TV, which was playing the news.
"The perpetrator is still at large, mainly active in the Hokkaido area. The perpetrator is wearing..."
Listening to the report on TV, the store manager suddenly felt that the outfit described by the host seemed a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Inadvertently, the store manager glanced in the direction of Higashino Eiji and instantly felt a little creepy.
“This…this…”
At this time, Higashino Eiji also heard what was on TV and was staring at the store manager.
The store was filled with a strange and awkward atmosphere. The manager swallowed cautiously and broke out in a cold sweat.
'I can't be that unlucky, can I?'
The store manager was roaring madly in his heart. He never dreamed that he would actually meet a murderer!
"Oh my god, it would be better to meet that mysterious traveler who suddenly disappeared!"
After wailing in his heart, the store manager calmed down as much as possible and forced a smile towards Higashino Eiji: "Friend...how about it, are you satisfied with our eel ramen?"
Higashino Eiji sneered, slowly stood up, looked at the store manager, and was about to say something when a loud noise suddenly sounded outside the house.
It appears to be some large off-road vehicle.
“Who is it?!”
Eiji Higashino was very alert. The middle-aged man turned around suddenly and saw dozens of guns pointed at him.
“Damn it!”
Higashino Eiji's heart suddenly sank, he knew that he had been discovered by the Metropolitan Police Department.
Although Higashino Eiji is now a superhuman, he does not think he can block bullets. Facing more than a dozen guns, he cannot be as at ease and as indifferent as Kyogoku Qion.
"Mr. Higashino Eiji, don't be nervous."
Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind the dozen or so policemen who were already assembled to the teeth. The tone was full of confidence, just like Kyogoku Qiong, which Higashino Eiji didn't like very much.
A social elite dressed in a suit and tie who looked like an office worker walked out slowly and said to Higashino Eiji: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Hayashi Kenichiro. I am currently the Onmyoji's non-staff recruitment officer and the leader of the Supernatural Warning Team, responsible for handling supernatural incidents."
After that, Lin Qianyilang waved his hand and asked his men to take the store manager away. At the same time, he said, "I believe you have also noticed that in the recent news, although you are still wanted, your name and photo have been blurred, and the name of Higashino Eiji has also disappeared from the seven suspects."
Higashino Eiji was extremely alert, staring at Hayashi Kenichiro, and slowly said, "So what?"
Seeing this, Lin Qianyilang sighed, opened his hands, and said directly: "Mr. Dongye, we would like to invite you to join the Onmyoji, be ordered by the country, and protect the peace of the area."
"Canceling the wanted warrant against you is just our sincerity. We can discuss your remuneration and salary. We are very sincere and hope you will consider it carefully." Lin Qianyilang said helplessly.
They are actually helpless too.
Higashino Eiji was a murderer. They had already investigated the specific circumstances. Although there were reasons for his actions, he had killed more than a hundred people after all. Logically, they would never allow Higashino Eiji to live.
