Chapter 71 A new ghost baby appears. Please give me a monthly ticket ()
Fortunately, Toru Amuro hasn't gone far.
Jiang Xia ran out and grabbed him: "Why don't I go with you?"
Amuro Toru was puzzled: "What are you going to do?"
Jiang Xia said considerately like a proper apprentice: "I'll help you."
Amuro Toru decisively refused: "No, just work hard."
“…”
The official excuse didn't work, so Jiang Xia thought about it and changed his approach: "This is my voucher."
"..." Amuro Toru was silent for a moment, then took out his wallet and said, "Then sell it to me."
"No, this is not for sale." Jiang Xia also felt that he was suspicious, but he thought about the ghost in the distance and said firmly, "The customer gave it as a token of his love. How can I use it to make a profit?"
Toru Amuro: "..."
He originally wondered if Jiang Xia had some ulterior motive - for example, Gin or some suspicious person asked Jiang Xia to pay attention to his movements.
But soon, Toru Amuro thought again: At the beginning, Jiang Xia easily gave him the coupon, but later he suddenly...
…
He recalled Jiang Xia taking out his phone to search before he went out, and he seemed to understand - Jiang Xia might have suddenly discovered that this was a store opened by a celebrity, and the experience coupons were limited edition, so he wanted to go over and join in the fun.
Jiang Xia saw that Amuro Toru suddenly fell silent and felt that there was hope.
He continued to persuade himself secretly: "If you go alone, it will easily arouse suspicion, but it will be different if you bring a student with you. The target will relax his vigilance, and I can help you keep watch."
"Hmm..." Toru Amuro looked at Jiang Xia. This apprentice was sometimes very clingy, but when he was quiet and didn't talk, it was easy for people to let down their guard...
…
Although Toru Amuro prays for the collapse of the organization every day, he still does his mission seriously.
First, bosses and colleagues are not all fools, and slacking off is too obvious and easy to be seen.
Second, what the organization wants to do is usually valuable information for the public security.
In addition, in addition to selling the organization on a daily basis, undercover agents actually have another thing to do - recruit new undercover agents.
It is much easier to recruit known members than to send another undercover agent. Although this also has disadvantages, such as being easily backstabbed by new undercover agents who jump back and forth, or even exposing the original undercover agents, but...
…
Toru Amuro looked at Jiang Xia silently.
...Speaking of this, he actually always felt that Jiang Xia was quite suitable for being turned against.
Although in principle, we should care about minors and the future of the island nation.
But if Jiang Xia insists on getting involved in his mission, he can be contacted more and slowly trained in this direction.
After all, Jiang Xia is different from other minors. He seems to have been brought into the organization by his parents since he was a child. He must have done a lot of illegal things. It is too difficult to whitewash himself, so it is better for him to just be a gray undercover agent.
…
Jiang Xia saw Toru Amuro thinking for a long time, and finally nodded.
"I'll give you 10 minutes to pack your luggage and then we'll be gone." After making his decision, Toru Amuro turned and walked out. "If you're late, just stay and watch the store."
10 minutes is about the time it takes for Toru Amuro to walk to the nearby parking lot and then drive the car from there.
If there are more, his car may be ticketed. After all, this place is very close to the Metropolitan Police Department, and many law enforcement officers pass by every day.
…
Jiang Xia had nothing to pack, so he went to the convenience store nearby and bought some daily necessities.
When I returned to the office, I saw Toru Amuro's car parked at the door.
…
On the way to Izu.
Amuro Toru handed Jiang Xia a photo of a broken pottery:
"Some time ago, while we were having a meeting at one of our regular locations, someone knocked a piece of pottery off a cabinet - there was a strange structure in the pottery that looked like it would hold a long-lasting recording device.
"We suspect someone wants to use it to eavesdrop on the organization's information. According to the investigation, this pottery is the work of Kikuemon, but the style inside is very different from Kikuemon's. I originally suspected that it was a counterfeit, but after tracing back to its origin...it did come from Kikuemon's pottery workshop."
Kikuemon is old and has been out of shape recently due to his pottery and porcelain making, so he has always refused to receive visitors.
Toru Amuro was originally still thinking about how to interact with him as naturally as possible.
Unexpectedly, just now, as soon as I entered the office, I saw Jiang Xia holding an experience voucher related to Kikuemon.
...This apprentice, apart from anything else, is really lucky.
In the car, Jiang Xia looked at the photo for a while and vaguely understood what was going on.
——This unique pottery just happens to match a case he knows about.
The Black Organization is once again fighting a battle of wits and courage with ordinary murders...
…
It was already evening when we set out.
Toru Amuro's schedule is quite full and he doesn't like to put things off until the next day.
We had planned to reach the beach that day.
However, halfway through, his plan was disrupted.
——When the car was driving through the woods, it ran over something and suddenly had a tire burst.
…
Jiang Xia was originally leaning back in his chair feeling sleepy, but at this moment he suddenly sat up straight - a flat tire in the woods, a murder case encountered while staying overnight...this is how it is drawn in comics!
Toru Amuro just thought Jiang Xia was surprised because of the flat tire and didn't think much about it.
He stopped the car, opened the door, and went down to check.
Jiang Xia also got out of the car, pretending to be concerned about this means of transportation.
In fact, he was concentrating on looking around.
Soon, his gaze passed through a grove of thick trees and fell on the cliff a few dozen meters away.
There is a quaint wooden building "floating" in mid-air, supported by countless wooden frames underneath, with a roaring waterfall hanging next to it.
…
As soon as Jiang Xia's eyes fell on it, Xiaobai and Miyano Akemi, who he had used as pillows along the way, raised their heads and looked over there.
Jiang Xia originally thought that the ghosts sensed murderous aura or the breath of a Shikigami.
Unexpectedly, the two ghosts whispered to each other, and the information they fed back was that they had found the ghost fetus.
Jiang Xia was stunned.
“……”Going out with the boss, there is such a good thing?
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a click from the trunk.
Jiang Xia was startled and looked back.
I saw a spare tire exposed in the open trunk.
Amuro Toru found a tool kit from the spare tire. Then he rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was going to change the tire right there.
Jiang Xia: “……?”
……no!!!
No one can leave until he gets the new ghost fetus.
…
When Toru Amuro was concentrating on removing the tire.
Jiang Xia walked up to him, squatted down, and pretended to watch the tire change.
In fact, he let the shikigami float into the open trunk, and let Xiaobai float over as well.
Soon, the small white brand puppets were silently piled up in the trunk.
Jiang Xia's consciousness possessed the body, looked beside him, and stared at the intact spare tire.
…
There were no tools on the puppet, and no knife in the trunk.
Amuro Toru often had his tires blown out when he was out, and he was very skillful in removing the tires.
Jiang Xia felt a little anxious when he heard the noise from his side. He tried to focus the energy of the Shikigami on his nails, but Xiaobai didn't seem to have any talent for it. He poked hard but only left a few marks.
…At this time, I regretted not choosing Miyano Akemi. But Miyano Akemi is the size of an adult after all, and she can’t squeeze into the trunk and is easily exposed.
Time was running out. In the trunk, Jiang Xia stared at the spare tire with a gloomy look and felt that it was still relatively clean.
He thought about the new ghost fetus waiting for him to pick up not far away... Finally, he made up his mind, released the energy wrapped around his nails, and used it to strengthen his teeth, aiming at the tire and biting it.
Teeth are indeed the hardest part of the human body.
It did not disappoint his expectations.
…
Toru Amuro, who had just removed the tire, was suddenly startled.
He listened carefully and felt that there were some strange creaking noises mixed in with the sound of the wind and leaves.
Amuro Toru looked at Jiang Xia uncertainly:
"Did you hear that?"
"Hmm?" Jiang Xia was slow to come back to his senses, and his voice was a little unclear for some reason. He looked up at the sky and said seriously, "It's raining."
It was indeed raining.
It started to rain heavily and quickly, and the sound of raindrops hitting the leaves became gradually obvious.
Amuro Toru frowned. He was not actually asking about the sound. It sounded more like something was gnawing at something... But forget it, since Jiang Xia didn't hear it, maybe he had heard it wrong.
…
However, a few seconds later.
When Toru Amuro went around to the trunk and reached out to take the new tire, he found that the strange noise just now didn't seem to be his illusion.
——The spare tire that was intact just now suddenly had a crack.
“……”The crack was jagged and looked like it was torn open forcefully.
Combined with the dim forest at this moment and the unexplained tire blowout just now, Amuro Toru suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Speaking of which, he remembered that there seemed to be some creepy legends around here. It seemed like there was a man-eating monster or something...
Toru Amuro's hand subconsciously moved towards the place where the gun was hidden, and then stopped.
...No, this world is materialistic and there are no monsters.
Everything should have a reasonable explanation.
——The tire burst. It must have accidentally run over something on the ground.
It's not surprising that there are a lot of sharp rocks in the woods.
The tire was damaged because he left the trunk open after getting the tools, so an animal slipped in.
Wild animals move lightly and swiftly, and given the sound of the wind and other noises in the forest at dusk, it was normal that he failed to notice them in time.
But why would this unknown creature chew on the tire? There were clearly biscuits or other snacks in front of the car...
