Chapter 198 Twenty-three Presidents

"Besides you, Shinichi and the others are here too?" Akajina Yue, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned to her friend and asked the question even though she knew the answer.

"Do you know where they dream?" Furuya Rei asked instead of answering, and complained, "The Curly guy fell asleep in front of the bomb he had just defused, and almost scared his subordinates to death, not to mention that the first thing he did when he woke up was to jump up and shout, 'Akae Nazuki Furuya Rei, come and die.' Congratulations, you've become famous again in the Metropolitan Police Department a year after you retired as a police officer."

"Even when he doesn't shout like that, I've never seen him not be famous." Chi Jiang Nayue curled her lips.

The two of them tacitly skipped the question of why the dream appeared and communicated very naturally... It's not a safe place to discuss the parallel world yet.

"Anyway, that kid and Ai should already be in the detective agency. As for Matsuda and the others... we split up to look for you." Furuya Rei shrugged, smiling a bit schadenfreude. "They should have noticed my location and stopped by now, right? They should be here in a while."

The black-haired, red-eyed savior couldn't help but rub his face, sounding distressed: "Really, I didn't do anything to make him so angry, did I?"

"No, it's not him, it's us. Hiro and Hagi are also very angry this time. The squad leader said that he will definitely arrange a sparring session with you when he returns from Hokkaido."

After saying that, Fūya Rei cleared his throat and asked seriously, "So, what do you have to say about Akae-kun, who once again faked his death in a fire?"

Chijiang Jun showed a pitiful expression.

Furiya Rei was completely immune! He said ruthlessly: "Don't try to escape punishment by pretending to be pitiful to the judge. I won't fall for it."

Thinking of Furiya Rei who was always fooled around by him in the world of vigilantes, Akae Nazuki nodded perfunctorily.

The two were arguing in a relaxed atmosphere, but just when Furiya Rei was about to start the car, he was stopped by Akae Nazuki.

"By the way, Mr. Zero," he asked seriously, "can you drive to Leibo Street in one minute?"

"One minute. Do you think I'm driving a fighter plane?" Furugaya Rei's mouth twitched. "Then I'm not driving too fast, I'm flying too slowly. Leibo Street is across most of Yokohama from here. If you fly there by yourself, you might be able to get there within a minute."

Chijiang Nayue's expression fell. He pointed at his adopted brother who was put in the back seat and said, "But if I go there by myself, I can't take Sigma with me. It doesn't seem right to just leave him on the side of the road."

"You actually think it's not nice to just leave someone on the side of the road? I thought you just met today."

Fūya Rei paused and joked in a convincing tone: "Okay, now I believe you recognize him as your brother."

Otherwise, the little devil wouldn't even blink when throwing people out.

"I don't think I recognize it." Chi Jiang Na Yue leaned against the car window with his chin on his hand, and said lazily, "My younger brother is deeply involved in an international pyramid scheme terrorist organization. As his elder brother, I should take good care of his dirty little things. By the way, I went to have a few words with the person who led my younger brother astray - isn't this normal?"

This is the first time I've seen someone say "I need to trouble someone" in such a refreshing and irresponsible way...

Fūya Rei immediately glanced back with a sympathetic look.

It is a blessing for both of them to have such a brother.

"But why did he get there within one minute?" Furugaya Rei suddenly thought of this and asked casually.

Akajinazuki hesitated for two seconds, then slowly moved his gaze from the window to Furugaya Rei's face, and said sincerely, "Because, in one minute..."

Furukaya Rei didn't notice that the street outside the car window had been covered with white mist at some point, and the endless stream of pedestrians on the street gradually disappeared.

"You're going to disappear."

As these words fell, Furutani Rei, who was sitting in the driver's seat, disappeared in front of Akae Nazuki with a surprised expression on his face, while the latter frowned in displeasure.

Although he also knew that this was the only way for Zero and the others to avoid Fei Jia's plot and the subsequent dilemma to the greatest extent possible.

However, having to watch his best friend being brought into someone else's special ability space right in front of him... he still felt like rushing over and beating Shibuzawa Ryuhiko to death on the spot.

I should have punched that guy in the face more often when I was in the detective agency, Chi Jiang Na Yue thought to herself.

Akae Nazuki had anticipated that Ranpo would call Furiya Rei and others over at this time, so Akae Nazuki even contacted Sakaguchi Ango to register them in advance on the way to pick up bloom.

When using Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's special ability, it will release a white mist. Ordinary people in the white mist area will be pulled into the special ability space, while those with special abilities will be left behind.

This means that if Shibuzawa Ryuhiko releases fog without warning in a busy area like Yokohama, cars, subways, and even planes passing overhead will lose their drivers in an instant!

In order to minimize casualties, the first person Chijiang contacted after modifying the plan that month was of course the Special Powers Division. As a result, the streets are now relatively safe, with no vehicles suddenly becoming empty and getting damaged while driving.

"You, you knew that Fyodor would do this?"

Sigma could be heard nodding faintly from the back seat.

"Not really?" Chijiang Nayue was not surprised that Sigma woke up so quickly, as if he knew it from the beginning.

He just nodded and said, "Because I'm the one who wanted him to do this."

"……?"

"To put it simply, Feijia wanted me to use my superpowers on Shikozawa to create special features. But I didn't want to do that, so Feijia placed a person in Yokohama who would definitely stimulate me to use my superpowers, and that person is the vampire." The young president slowly turned his head, leaned over the back of his chair, and enthusiastically explained to his younger brother.

"But now, I've also taken the vampire away." He counted on his fingers, "So Feijia's plan has changed to using Shizo's power to cause widespread damage in Yokohama, forcing me to use my power to defeat Shizo in order to save people."

An expression of horror gradually appeared on Sigma's face.

Chi Jiang Na Yue continued jokingly, "We can all guess each other's next move, the next move, and who knows how many moves later, but this way we can each get what we need... Isn't it fun? Maybe this is a kind of tacit understanding?"

As soon as Chijiang Nayue finished speaking, she felt a chill: "Forget it, I don't want to have this kind of tacit understanding with the Russian rice ball..."

Sigma nodded frantically.

The two people's eyes suddenly met again at this moment, and the air in the carriage was silent for a moment.

"That..." Sigma in the back seat was sweating profusely, "Let me explain...!"

Sigma has never felt so extraordinary! His nominal brother is actually a control freak and smart guy like Fyodor? This is terrible. He is not good at dealing with this kind of people. What should he do... What if the other party thinks he is a bad guy?

"I--"

Chi Jiang Na Yue was watching Sigma's confusion with a cheerful mood when he was holding his head in his hands. Then, when Sigma mustered up the courage to continue speaking, he spoke with great precision: "You must be the 'general manager' who investigated me all over the world this year, Sigma-kun."

Sigma suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon, and replied in a muffled voice: "...Yes, it was me."

Well, it seems that my cheap brother still regards him as a member of the Five Degenerates of Heaven.

Although he did not get the Sky Casino during this year, in order to hide his identity and facilitate investigation, he would claim to be the general manager of a casino in necessary social occasions, and even his fake identity was based on this.

It seems that Chijiang Nayue has known that he was investigating him for a long time. Haha, this is not surprising. Who says he is just a mortal?

They are both born with talent, and the other person is not only doing well but also possesses strong abilities. He spent a year just to investigate some information and was discovered by the original owner... Alas.

But... Sigma still wanted to fight. Ever since he found out about Chijiang Nanyue's true identity, he couldn't help but feel happy in his mind. In layman's terms, he was so happy that he became stupid - nonsense, this mood made it impossible for him to remain calm!

The reason why he accepted Fyodor's invitation and joined the Five Evils was because the other party asked him "Do you want a home?" And the reason why he traveled all over the world and hated people who took advantage of him but still stayed in the Five Evils was because he wanted to find a "home", wasn't it?

“Eh——”

Sigma, who longed to be close to his peers but was afraid of being abandoned, heard Chijiang Nayue's elongated voice in the tangle.

"So it turns out that Feijia has been exploiting child labor." The other party clapped his fists and said this seriously.

Sigma: “…”

Sigma: "Wait, that child laborer is referring to me?!"

Chi Jiang Na Yue immediately cast a pitying look at him. The little devil even reached out and easily touched Sigma's head, gently patting his long, patchwork hair.

"Look, the book told me that you were created four years ago." As she spoke, Chijiang Nayue pointed at herself and smiled innocently, "And if you only look at the timeline of this world, I was also created seven years ago. If you add the timeline of the other world, I am actually 28 years old."

Actually, it was twenty-seven, because he was one year old when he was created, but it doesn’t matter.

Anyway, even if he is twenty-seven, he is still my brother!

Sigma didn't have the heart to care about Chi Jiang Na Yue's warm hand pressing on his head. In his mind, he couldn't help but follow the other party's description and calculate the age difference between them.

"What I want to say is that you have done a great job." Akae Natsuki thought for a moment, then changed to the tone she usually used when talking to the younger generation like Kudo Shinichi, and said frankly, "It's not easy to memorize all the information about me, right? It's impossible to remember all the cases I've handled, right? Even though you are scared, you insist on trying to get information from me, which is even more impossible, right? But you have done all of this."

"Sigma-kun, you really are an amazing kid."

Chi Jiang knew about the existence of Sigma before that month, but he never thought that he would be one of the Five Degenerates. Sigma was not a criminal no matter how you looked at it, and his personality was even too gentle.

This type of person would be hard to place even as a chess piece for Fyodor, so how could he be a person with the Five Decays of Heaven and Earth?

As a result, now that I know that the other party is actually a book-made person...this actually makes sense.

I have to say that Sigma is a good boy. Chijiang Nayue can fully judge this. He is not the kind of person who would recognize a book-made person as a brother or sister just because he picked up the book-made person on the road. Since Sigma has already boarded Furuya Rei's car, there is no need for him to think about those unnecessary things anymore.

After all, Chi Jiang Na Yue would never let his enemy have the chance to sit so close to his good friend.

In short, in Chijiang's eyes, Sigma is just a four-year-old child... In terms of the purity of his mind, he really is.

Sigma's face turned red instantly. He didn't know whether he was shy or angry, so he covered his face: "...Why do you speak more like a father than a brother?"

The target of the ridicule waved his hands and laughed childishly, "Well, actually, when I was four years old, I could complete the mafia's mission independently, so you are still far from it. But since you are my younger brother, I can give you a free training course, okay?"

Is this sentence, this sentence's meaning what he understood it to be?

Sigma's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to say something, they both heard a voice.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the car window next to them.
