Chapter 69 Five-pointed Star Four
"Kamen Rider?" Akai Shuichi smiled again. He didn't comment on his country's superheroes. Clearly, he was more concerned with Kurosaki Utaha's uniqueness. "Your feelings for humans don't seem to have diminished even with your special powers."
"Why would someone with superpowers lose their emotions?" Kurosaki Utsuki asked jokingly, "Look at Superman, isn't he deeply in love with Lois?"
But the other person didn't respond. "As a forensic pathologist," he asked, "if you were faced with the remains of a loved one, would you be able to calmly perform an autopsy?"
"Your example doesn't hold true," Kurosaki Utsuki complained speechlessly. "You can't be unaware that generally speaking, relatives need to avoid suspicion. If there wasn't a premise of avoiding suspicion, my family would probably just stand aside and watch me operate."
In fact, the current situation is similar. At least one of the three bodies sent in was accompanied by the person himself, and most of the time he would keep shouting and screaming because of his work, which was very noisy.
"Where's your lover?"
"Huh? Don't you know? When my husband died, there was no part of him left that could be dissected."
When the words fell, the atmosphere became cold.
Seeing that the people around her seemed to be about to apologize, Kurosaki Utaki spoke first, summarizing the obvious test: "I don't think personal stance has a direct correlation with feelings, and different feelings can't be generalized. No matter how many bodies I dissect, I will still cry my eyes out when watching cute short films like Jii Kawaii."
Akai Shuichi nodded in understanding. "I see." He then asked, "Why don't they ask you for help?"
He was referring to Zhufu Jingguang and Furuya Rei.
"You're asking even though you already know the answer." Kurosaki Utsuki sneered, "If I'm doing all the work, what do we need the police for?"
She continued to ask, "And what can I do? Kill all the bad guys they can't deal with right away?"
Admittedly, she had thought about this issue when she first graduated, but she didn't dwell on it for long.
She does her job well, and although she occasionally speaks some lines from Kamen Rider, she is not essentially a superhero like the "good neighbor of the Beika citizens".
If she sees someone asking for help or receives a message for help, she will do her best to help, but that doesn't mean she will take over other people's work.
As a "human", Kurosaki Utsuki's main job is a forensic doctor. The so-called "detective" is an unlicensed business that provides services for free, and "Death Agent" is a nominal position. Of course, the first item is what she needs to do best.
However, although it seemed like a casual question, the focus was on Akai Shuichi's final question: "How are you going to kill them all?"
...This guy is simply trying to get information about her superpowers under the guise of being curious about her psychological dynamics.
But she hadn't planned to play dumb, otherwise she wouldn't have used the Quincy's power in front of him—
"Give me an address, and I can use explosives to take out both the people and the buildings. No explosives are needed, and no prior preparations are required." Kurosaki Utsuki shrugged. "Of course, there won't be any evidence left behind."
And another thing, of course—of course she wouldn't do that.
The car has returned to the main road. Kurosaki Utsuki doesn't know where the driver next to her is driving. As far as she can see, there is no trace of the organization on the road.
"Is it okay to take human life?" asked the driver, who had not yet finished investigating her.
"Don't just categorize me as not human. I'm human too," Kurosaki Utsuki replied good-naturedly. "Well, if you kill too many people, you'll go to hell after death, I heard. But the specific criteria aren't listed in the textbooks, and there aren't any NPC gatekeepers outside the gates of hell you can talk to."
Shuichi Akai raised his eyes, and this time, he finally stopped talking.
But Kurosaki Utsuki continued: "However, I was destined to go to hell after my death. This is already determined - and with my power, hell is not scary at all."
When the spiritual power reaches a certain intensity, or the density of the body's lepton reaches a certain level, the spirit cannot naturally return to the air after death and can only be sent to hell to achieve the circulation of lepton in order to maintain the balance of the three realms.
Although she was still using Ichimaru Gin's spiritual energy, the power of the Hogyoku that had been integrated into her soul could not be underestimated. Besides, there were so many Shinigami older than her. After she died, she could definitely team up with her acquaintances in Hell.
“Is hell real?”
"It does exist, but I've never been there, so I'm not sure what it's like. Incidentally, the criteria for determining Hell aren't human laws, so no one knows what Hell's will is thinking—let's get back to the point. You're driving like this, do you know where Shiho is?"
After a few seconds, the person next to him gave a negative answer.
...Then why didn’t you say so earlier!
·
Miyano Shiho was found an hour later.
To be precise, it was an hour after Kurosaki Utsuki heard that Akai Shuichi "came alone to pick up his sister, but when he arrived, the place was empty, and then he saw her suddenly appear, while his colleagues were still on their way."
Kurosaki Utsuki, who originally thought that the FBI had some sort of plan, gritted her teeth and used her Shikai.
The driver explained that during a previous phone call with Miyano Shiho, he'd heard her cousin say something like, "Anything you can't solve, Utahiki-san can definitely solve," and that's why he wanted to check out her abilities while waiting for his companions to arrive. The organization still had Furuya Rei and Morofushi Kagemitsu to back them up, so Miyano Shiho wouldn't be in any serious trouble.
In response, Kurosaki Utsuki only uttered a single syllable meaning "poor and weak".
Due to many factors affecting the present world - including the fact that Kurosaki Utsuki herself was not very familiar with the local area, and that Miyano Shiho's spiritual power was not very strong, it took some time to find someone.
After successfully finding the person, Kurosaki Utsuki vented all the resentment accumulated that day on the "kidnapper" who was guarding Miyano Shiho.
Fortunately, the girl who was rescued was not injured, but only fell into a coma due to inhaling anesthetics.
Because there were so many "kidnappers", even though they were all knocked unconscious in one breath, Kurosaki Utsuki still took on the responsibility of guarding them before the police arrived, and gave the task of taking the girl to the hospital to Akai Shuichi, who watched the whole show and almost bought a bucket of popcorn.
Watching the ambulance gradually go away, Kurosaki Utsuki couldn't help but think divergently. If she found out later that the story turned out to be like The Little Mermaid, she would definitely give the neighboring princess Akai, who had falsely claimed the credit, a good beating.
By the time I finished explaining the situation and taking my statement to the local police who arrived, it was already completely dark.
In the email he sent her, Shuichi Akai said that Miyano Shiho woke up shortly after arriving at the hospital, underwent some examinations, and is now asleep again and resting. Her physical condition is not serious.
Because the hospital's visiting hours had passed, Akai asked her to visit the next day. So, after a busy day and continuous overtime work, the Death Agent went back to her hotel room without hesitation, lay down, reviewed the extra work she had completed that day, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
April 16, Sunday
...Another unfortunate day.
Kurosaki Utsuki looked up at the sky with deep sorrow.
Specifically, she ran into Okita Souji, the Shinsengumi guy, right after leaving the house. He then asked her about the progress of yesterday's case. However, she could only regretfully say that it was a bit of an unexpected situation and she hadn't followed up yet...
Then I received a series of calls from Hattori Heiji and the Hokkaido police.
The former was due to a murder case, and the latter was due to a kidnapping case.
After comprehensive consideration, she finally chose to deal with the latter and was forced to go to the police station that took over yesterday's "kidnapping case". However, the person she met with was a public security police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department.
These public security officers were obviously insiders of "that organization". She did not hide her relationship with Miyano Shiho and told them directly that her companion was an FBI agent named Akai Shuichi, and her attitude was very cooperative.
Then, after she finally dealt with the police and was about to have a good meal before going to visit Miyano Shiho...she encountered another chase on the street.
Hakodate, streets, convoy, gunfight.
It's outrageous.
Will this organization ever stop? Will they force her to physically incarnate them with a fully-casted Dragon-Strike Thunder Cannon?
Moreover, the people being chased and dodging gunfire were her acquaintances: Hattori Heiji on the motorcycle and Kudo Shinichi on the back seat... If these two detectives were injured, wouldn't she have to immediately take on two roles and throw herself into the investigation of the murder case?
Really, she really isn't a superhero character, it's just that the criminals just happened to run into her face -
He randomly aimed at a car, broke through the road, punctured the tire, snatched the gun in an instant, and threw it over his shoulder in one go.
She didn't know if she was lucky enough to capture the leader of the operation, but the convoy behind her didn't turn around and flee when they saw the situation was bad, but instead tried to snatch the person from her...
Five minutes later, Kurosaki Utsuki leaned against the roadside and called a bespectacled police officer who had left her his phone number at the police station. The background was a pile of "corpses".
The two young detectives from Kanto and Kansai looked at her with extremely complicated eyes, and did not say a word until she hung up the phone.
"I asked a police officer I know to come over." Kurosaki Utsuki emailed Akai Shuichi and asked without looking up, "Why are they chasing you?"
The long-lost Kudo boy showed her the wooden box in his hand and said, "They want this."
"What's that?" she guessed, taking in the size of the box. "A knife?"
If it was a knife, then they should still be investigating yesterday's murder case... No, wait, could it be that this group of people and the organization from yesterday are not actually the same group?
She had heard Akai Shuichi say yesterday that the organization codenamed after the liquor was keeping a low profile to avoid exposure. Chasing people in a convoy like a street movie and openly firing guns on the street was certainly not their style.
The public security police who arrived shortly afterwards confirmed her guess.
"He's a well-known arms dealer." The young public security officer named Kazami Yuya pushed up his glasses. "Violating the gun and ammunition control law, attempted murder, seriously affecting public safety, and violating multiple traffic regulations are all serious crimes."
The extended meaning is "has nothing to do with that organization."
……well.
But regardless of her connection, as a "heroic hero," she still had to follow the police to give a statement, predicting she would make the headlines that evening. So after a short rest, Kurosaki Utsuki returned to the Hakodate Central Police Station, which she had gradually become familiar with.
During the break, she did call Akai Shuichi, who asked her if she needed the FBI to arrange for someone to protect her family, but she ended up mocking him coldly.
"You don't think my superpowers are a sudden mutation, do you?"
Having said that, Shuichi Akai would be worried about her family because they only rescued people yesterday and did not take the initiative to capture anyone.
Gin, who had met her again and successfully escaped danger - the man with long silver hair - might become so angry that he would take revenge on her.
But considering that even her elementary school nephew was a natural-born agent of death, she really felt that there was nothing to worry about.
Even without mentioning the few who have already been able to use their powers skillfully, if he really has the ability, he will go after her sisters. The various Urahara-specific gadgets that those two girls carry with them for special attacks on souls will definitely make him regret it.
