Chapter 96 I found a bottle of sherry and asked for a monthly ticket (〃)
Toru Amuro had just finished a business trip and had a lot of work piled up.
He came to the office, gave Jiang Xia a few part-time jobs, and left soon.
Those part-time jobs will start tomorrow.
Today, Jiangxia’s schedule is still empty.
…
Jiang Xia was sitting on the sofa in the office. Next to him, Miyano Akemi looked a little uneasy - the "Sulli" that the organization was looking for was her sister.
Jiang Xia raised his hand and rubbed Miyano Akemi's head, which felt very good. Then he remembered that this was a ghost that had come to his doorstep, so he decided to be more conscientious and help the ghost look after its family.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia asked the main body to sit on the sofa and hang up.
The shikigami flew through the wall and out of the house, where they piled up into a human shape in the alley next to the office.
…
Currently, Jiang Xia has a total of three ghost fetuses that can be used to support puppets.
Among them, the wings of Mist Tengu are too big, and there is no comic exhibition nearby. Driving it around will easily attract the attention of onlookers.
Miyano Akemi's puppet had been photographed by many people on the Shinkansen and had already been registered with the police and the organization. The organization was now looking for Shirley everywhere, and driving "Miss Anonymous" out at this juncture could easily cause trouble.
So in the end, Jiang Xia chose Xiaobai's puppet, the little boy.
Although this puppet had come into contact with Gin before, Jiang Xia had covered its face at that time - when he stuffed Xiaobai into his bag, he deliberately pressed the head down, so the puppet's posture was so distorted at that time. And Gin did focus on the broken neck of the puppet and did not turn Xiaobai's head out to see his face.
In addition, Gin seemed to have said that he didn't remember the people who died at his hands.
The little white puppet was shot twice by Gin at that time, and was thrown into the incinerator by him personally... rounding it off, it should be considered as his murder. I hope Gin will be honest and respect the settings he added to himself.
…
The puppet's initial clothing is fixed and will be generated automatically according to the puppet's preferences.
However, as the number of shikigami increases, Jiang Xia can also make some changes to the clothing.
He drove Xiaobai's puppet and added a scarf to cover the "Z" mark on his neck.
Then Jiang Xia wrapped her scarf and walked to the end of the alley.
He found a loose brick in the wall, took it down, and took out the money he had hidden inside to use as travel expenses for the puppet.
…
When Shirley heard the news of Akemi Miyano's death, she immediately interrupted her research in protest.
The organization therefore locked her in a room and waited for her fate.
Shirley was disheartened and felt that she had no way out, so she ate the APTX4869 hidden on her body.
She originally wanted to use this drug to commit suicide, but after taking it, she luckily turned into a child, just like Kudo Shinichi.
…
In Jiang Xia's impression, after Shirley turned into a child, she quickly broke free from the handcuffs and escaped along the garbage chute.
And the place where she was at that time...
Jiang Xia thought for a moment, drove the puppet onto the bus, and soon arrived near a pharmaceutical building.
——This is one of the organization’s bases and also where Shirley worked before.
…
After getting off the car, Jiang Xia walked around the area stealthily.
Soon we found a few small footprints, left by bare feet.
This must be what Shirley stepped on - after she became smaller, her shoes and clothes no longer fit. The clothes can still be put on, but the shoes can no longer be worn.
Apart from her, it is hard to imagine that there would be other children running around barefoot in a place like this on a rainy day.
Jiang Xia stared at the footprints, thought for a moment, and released Miyano Akemi's soul.
Although the ghost baby is not good at finding living people, after all, they are sisters and may be able to communicate with each other.
In Jiang Xia's imagination, at this time, Miyano Akemi should come to the side of the footprints, stretch out her little hand to touch the mark, then sniff the scent, then seriously ponder for a moment, and quickly take him to Shirley's side.
However, things deviated from Jiang Xia's script.
——After being placed next to the footprints by him, Miyano Akemi looked down at the muddy ground beneath her, turned around and crawled back onto Jiang Xia's clean shoes, and skillfully hugged his legs.
Jiang Xia: “…”
Well, it seems that there is something wrong with the sisters' telepathy, perhaps the signal between humans and ghosts is not good. Judging from Miyano Akemi's reaction, let alone "finding the breath", she didn't even recognize the footprints as left by her sister.
"..." Come to think of it, right now, Miyano Akemi probably only knows that her sister escaped from the clutches of the organization, but she doesn't know that Shirley has become smaller...
Jiang Xia sighed silently.
He cleaned up his footprints, identified the surrounding scenery, and then walked towards his home.
——The footprints are heading that way.
Originally, Jiang Xia thought that Shirley would be wary of him as a "member of the organization" and would not dare to go over.
Unexpectedly, this newborn pseudo-baby instinctively ran towards Beika Town.
…
Jiang Xia started from the location of the mud footprints and walked towards his home, looking for a convenient hiding place one by one.
After walking nearly one or two kilometers, he vaguely sensed something and his eyes moved and fell on a pile of building materials waiting to be used in the corner.
——A corner of white could be vaguely seen through the gaps between the building materials.
The space was very small, not enough for an adult to hide, but... just enough to hide a homeless "child".
“…”
…
Jiang Xia looked around and didn't see any suspicious colleagues in black clothes - the organization members had already searched the area and were now leaving.
He then went around to the back of the building materials, grabbed the wet tarpaulin covering it, and lifted up a corner.
Looking inside, I met a pair of horrified eyes.
Jiang Xia: “…” Sure enough, it’s here.
He looked at the cute tomboy huddled under the tarpaulin with her knees hugged, and waved at her in a friendly manner: "Come out."
…
At first, Shirley was trembling all over - she suddenly smelled the scent of an organization member just now, and that scent was getting closer and closer.
But at this moment, when she raised her eyes with the thought "I'm going to die", she was shocked to find that it was a little boy who came.
After being stunned for a moment, Shirley breathed a sigh of relief and slowly calmed down.
"..." I could actually feel the aura of the organization from a child... I must be too nervous.
She looked again at the neatly dressed, young and handsome little boy in front of her.
After hesitating for a moment, he felt in the pocket of his white coat and successfully found a coffee candy.
Shirley stuffed the candy into Jiang Xia's hand and said tiredly, "Be good, go play somewhere else."
Then he raised his hand, pulled over the corner of the rain cover that Jiang Xia was holding, and slowly wrapped himself up again.
