Chapter 115

When I played as Satoshi Kagino in the second copy, commanding the bikers to capture the bomber, I also followed Jinpei Matsuda to meet the bomber.

At that time, the other party was beaten up by the bikers who were too excited and mistook him for an enemy. After seeing me, he tried to trick me into helping him press the detonator button. So I remember his voice very clearly.

Although his ID card has now been changed to Nishihara Tadahiko, the memory of that voice is still retained, so he was able to immediately recognize that the person trading with the kidnapper outside the shelf was the bomber from that year.

At this time, the bomber was still chattering uncontrollably.

"Damn police, don't you always brag about protecting citizens? This time I'm going to install the bombs separately. I'm going to hide the explosion site in another bomb. I'm going to make you admit in front of all of Tokyo that you are cowards. I'm also going to blow you up to the sky!"

The bomber's mind was obviously not clear anymore, and he accidentally revealed part of his crime plan, which was indeed consistent with the original book. Nishihara Tadahiko was surprised and delighted, and he even leaned over to squeeze into the gap between the shelves, trying to get more information about the bomber's crime plan.

However, the two people outside stopped talking, and Nishihara Tadahiko only heard a rustling sound. He thought the two were checking some trading items, but after waiting for a while, he suddenly realized that the two people outside seemed to have been quiet for a long time this time.

Nishihara Tadahiko suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He was shocked and immediately left the gap between the shelves. He looked back to the direction where the two people had stood before. As expected, no one was there. Only the stale smell of countless goods in the warehouse lingered in his nose.

Nishihara Tadahiko was very sure that he did not hear any footsteps of anyone leaving just now.

He was startled and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, this body had received professional training after all, and the remaining combat consciousness was far superior to his current reaction ability.

Before he could react, his whole body tensed up. Without thinking, he leaned against the wall to prevent being attacked from behind, while trying to take a defensive posture in the small space.

While Nishihara Tadahiko was secretly admiring him, he also immediately followed the rhythm of his body, carefully observing the possible sneak attacks that might suddenly appear from the darkness.

But the next second, a strong feeling of dizziness suddenly swept over, and Nishihara Tadahiko lost his balance and almost fell down. Fortunately, he was standing against the wall, so he immediately leaned back and managed to stabilize himself.

The shaking of the body and the vibrations behind made the dizziness worse, and at the same time there was an extremely strong feeling of nausea, making people want to vomit on the spot.

He secretly cursed in his heart, and barely raised his head in a dizzy trance, looking towards the entrance of the aisle between the two rows of shelves. There was a strong light shining towards him, and two vague human figures were slowly approaching in the shadows behind the light.

The gas masks on their faces were hideous and ugly, making them look like monsters coming to take their lives.

Nishihara Tadahiko was already unsteady on his feet at this point, the severe dizziness had caused him to completely lose his balance, his thoughts became extremely muddled and viscous, sleepiness swept over him like a wave, and it seemed as if he was about to fall asleep while standing.

He leaned his back against the wall, and moved his hand along the wall to find his thigh. Then he gathered all his attention and pinched his thigh hard.

Stimulated by the pain, his mind seemed to become more active. Only then did he realize that there was a voice in his consciousness calling him anxiously.

"Xiaoxing? How are you now? Is your ID card activated? Why is the signal intermittent?"

Nishihara Tadahiko no longer had the energy to think about where the sound came from, but his consciousness did become much clearer because of the sudden sound.

The dizziness gradually faded away, and at the same time, everything in front of my eyes became distorted.

Two monsters were approaching, and he almost instinctively reached out and groped for something long on the shelf beside him. Without even looking at it, he gathered all his strength and rushed towards the monsters.

The distortion became more and more serious. He could only wave his fists randomly in the air by feeling, not knowing what he was hitting. A sharp and piercing strange melody came into his ears, as well as a piercing noise that seemed to be muffled:

"...No time...That organization...is in hiding..."

Tadahiko Nishihara didn't know how he broke free from the clutches of the two monsters. He just kept running, and then after entering a distorted space, he fell into complete darkness.

…

Fifteen-year-old Hoshikawa Kazuaki was walking his dog at this time.

He had just moved out of an orphanage and was living in a shabby single room in an old tower apartment. As a high school student working to pay for his studies, he had to work several jobs after school to barely make ends meet.

Walking the dog was his last job of the day, and he needed to send the dog back to his employer's home before nine o'clock. In order to finish the work early and go back to rest, he deliberately took a shortcut from behind a row of warehouses.

However, what he didn't expect was that the black dog in his hand suddenly became manic for some reason and rushed towards one of the warehouses without any warning.

Xingchuan and Ming were startled and ran after it. If such an expensive pet was lost in his hands, he would not be able to afford the compensation even if he worked for a year.

Xingchuan and Ming originally thought that at this time, there would be no one in these empty warehouses, but they didn't expect that they would bump into someone when turning, and they both fell to the ground.

There was a metal pendant on the ground that someone had dropped. The edge of it just brushed against Xingchuan Heming's arm, causing him great pain. However, he had no time to care about it. He hurriedly looked at the person who was hit. He saw that it was a man who looked to be in his forties. His expression was very ferocious and scary. He was also a little unconscious, and it was not known whether it was because of the collision or not.

Xingchuan and Ming's hearts skipped a beat. Could it be that this guy's brain was damaged by his collision?

Before he could say anything, another younger man suddenly came out from the corner, with a gas mask hanging around his neck. He didn't even look at the road and stepped on the man in front of him, causing himself to fall.

He got up from the ground first, looking confused and said:

"What am I going to do?"

After thinking for a while, he seemed to regain his senses and turned back to the person he had just spoken to and said stutteringly:

"By the way... those guys are coming here later... I, I don't want to meet them... I'm leaving first..."

After saying this, he turned around and left without waiting for the person on the ground to answer.

The person who was knocked down earlier stared at Xingchuan and Ming, and said viciously:

"You eavesdropping rat! I caught you, didn't I? If the big shot in the organization hadn't called and said he was coming over, how could you have gotten away while I was on the phone? But since you heard my secret, don't even think about leaving alive today!"

As he said this, he got up from the ground and reached out to grab Xingchuan and Ming.

Both of them were obviously not in a normal state, and what they said was incomprehensible.

Xingchuan Heming didn't want to be entangled by a madman, not to mention a madman who threatened to kill him, so he turned around and ran without looking for the dog. However, he didn't expect that because it was too dark, he ran into a dead end full of cardboard boxes in a panic.

There was no exit in front, and an insane madman was chasing him from behind. Just when Xingchuan Heming was thinking about whether he should run back and fight with the madman, a hand suddenly stretched out from a tall cardboard box, grabbed his arm and pulled him into the box.

At this time, Xingchuan and Ming were only fifteen years old. When they encountered this kind of thing, they immediately panicked and wanted to scream, but the hand covered their mouths. At the same time, a weak voice sounded behind them:

"Don't make any noise. Once that guy can't find us, he will leave naturally."

Xingchuan and Ming finally realized that the man who suddenly pulled him in was actually trying to save him. So they nodded to show that they understood. The person behind them let him go, and the two of them held their breath, hiding in the box and carefully observing the situation outside.

The madman outside kept repeating what he said before, until he ran into a dead end and still didn't see anyone. He seemed to be tired from running, and he took a few deep breaths, and finally stopped swearing viciously.

"What's going on? Damn it, I seem to be affected by the poison gas too. I can't chase them anymore. Those big shots will be coming soon. I have to prepare in advance."

He seemed to have finally regained consciousness, and walked back, panting and rubbing his forehead.

Xingchuan and Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief and were about to get up and get out of the box, but someone behind him grabbed his shoulders and said:

"Don't move, you can't go out now."

Xingchuan Heming's body froze, and he felt that the hand pressing on his shoulder was incredibly strong, which was not at all like the strength of a person with such a weak voice. He had no choice but to retract his hand according to the force, and before he could ask, he heard the footsteps of the madman outside again.

"No? It turns out he really wasn't hiding in this book. What a pity."

Hearing this voice, Xingchuan and Ming immediately broke out in cold sweats.

Who would have thought that a lunatic who was acting crazy the last second, after taking a few deep breaths, could pretend to leave and lure prey without any discord.

So after the madman left again, Xingchuan Heming still sat in the box and didn't dare to move. Until the person behind him patted his shoulder again and said:

"Okay, you can go out now."

Xingchuan Heming then slowly poked his head out and carefully looked towards the alley entrance. Seeing that the madman had indeed left, he heaved a sigh of relief and got out with confidence.

The person behind him also crawled out of the box, took a few deep breaths, and finally came back.

Xingchuan Heming looked over in the dim moonlight and saw that the young man in front of him was tall, with short reddish-brown hair and bright eyes. Even though he was covered in dirt, he still couldn't hide his heroic spirit.

"Thank you so much for what you said. My name is Hoshikawa Kazuaki and I'm a high school student. What's your name?"

The young man seemed stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"You're welcome. It's my duty to help you. My name is Tadahiko Nishihara, and I'm a police officer."
