Chapter 315 Two Sweethearts
Just a few hours ago, Chijiang Nayue was still an adult of 1.8 meters, but now he has shrunk to 1.31 meters (he is definitely 1.31 meters!). After transforming back from a female body, his golden proportions that were happily restored have turned into his current short stature in the blink of an eye.
But he said that this was much better than his good friends who had suffered undeserved misfortune.
While Ling wasn't paying attention, Chijiang Nayue secretly reached into her waist bag and randomly touched the nearest egg, not caring who it was - they were all eggs anyway.
Yes, at least he is still a normal human 10-year-old elementary school student, but all his friends have become... um, how do you say it, [guardian sweethearts]? When Kenji and his friends claimed that they had become like this, the relevant words and explanations automatically appeared in their minds.
puff.
Akajinazuki once again resisted the urge to laugh out loud with her shoulders shaking, and silently commented in her mind: It really sounds like a term from a girls' comic.
The story began before they became like this. Two days ago, after finishing a pleasant journey on the Suzuki train, he had originally planned to take Sigma back to Tokyo with Kenji Hagiwara and others.
But before that, he received a photo of an invitation letter from Ritsu Fujiwara, who did not participate in the trip.
The former adjutant is now doing very well in the Metropolitan Police Department, but he still hangs out at the Tokyo Detective Agency from time to time, and that's how he found this thing in their mailbox.
Akae Nayue was even curious about the mailer. To find the location of their detective agency, Beika-cho 6-chome, they had to rely on a former client's introduction. But who would be so idle that they would go to the trouble of finding the detective agency just to deliver an invitation letter? You know, the postman would never come to their place, and the mailbox was just a decoration. Even Morobushi Kagemitsu rarely checked it.
With this curiosity, he carefully read the contents of the invitation letter, and then quickly cooled down his curiosity.
Although it is in the format of an invitation letter, it can also be understood as a commission. The client asked the detective agency to go to Standard Island in two days, or in other words, the Standard Island where he had a fight with Fukuchi Sakura.
The other party did not specify the content of the commission, but only implicitly told him that he would be informed after landing on the island.
Rather than saying it is an island, it is more like a ship as big as an island. Since it is a ship, it must have a captain. As for the captain on Standard Island, Chijiang Nayue actually has some impression of him.
At the time, Furuya Rei, who was standing next to him and had also seen the contents of the "invitation letter", said in a subtle tone: "How dare they invite you over?"
Akae Nazukime: The fight between him and Fukuchi Sakurachi, even though it was later fought between the puppets, the damage caused was not small at all, not to mention that Nakahara Chuuya, who thought he was in trouble, almost tore down the island... so he also cared about this a little.
He almost died after going to Standard Island once, and they had the guts to invite him to go a second time.
Chijiang Nayue was not interested in this kind of secretive client, but he was quite interested in Standard Island.
At that time, they just went there to fight, so naturally they didn't do much sightseeing. This time, it can be regarded as a funded tour by the detective agency, so it should be no problem for him to bring a few more family members.
...Then he made a decision that he now vaguely regretted, namely, to take the others to the artificial island.
Not to mention the messy and annoying things that happened in between, he was also glad that he didn't bring Oda Sakunosuke with him. After all, he didn't want Oda Sakunosuke, who had no intersection between this world and mimic, to meet certain people. That would be a bit, no, very disgusting.
In short, it was not until he landed on Standard Island that he received a message from the person in the government who was in contact with him... a commission closely related to this island.
The government informed him that the 'man who foresaw the future' who had manipulated spy organizations from various countries had landed on the island with a supernatural weapon, the 'Shell', and was going to detonate the 'Shell' here to destroy the coast near Yokohama.
Akae Nazuki knew what the "Shell" was and also knew the so-called terrorist, so when he heard about this commission on the island, he laughed angrily.
As a supernatural weapon created in the supernatural war more than ten years ago in the original world of Yokohama, the [Shell] can be simply regarded as a super bomb that concentrates various supernatural powers together. Once detonated, it will turn everything within a radius of 35 kilometers into ashes. If it explodes near the coast of Yokohama, the death toll will be at least over 4 million.
The distance between Tokyo and Yokohama is only 30 kilometers.
The reason why Akae Nazuki felt it was ridiculous was not because the government wanted him to stop the other party. That was nothing. After all, after he defeated Fukuchi Sakurachi, even the supernatural world recognized his position as the leader. This could be regarded as the strongest obligation. Moreover, protecting Tokyo was his responsibility.
He laughed angrily because the content of the commission was not true.
Let's just say one thing, for example, H.G. Wells, the creator of the supernatural weapon [Shell], the source of his ability to read files, the person who actually possesses the supernatural power of [Time Machine], is the terrorist who they say is about to detonate the bomb.
Few people know that the mysterious guy is actually a short blond woman.
Many years ago, Akae Nayue had met Wells once and the latter left a deep impression on him. Therefore, he was very sure that Wells would definitely not be the one who wanted to detonate the explosion. It could only be that the guy who really wanted to blow up Yokohama Coast had pinned the blame on Wells in an attempt to divert his attention.
The other party probably knew that the government would definitely let him carry out this mission, so he simply chose to frame him. The only thing the other party didn't expect was that Chijiang Nayue actually trusted Wells very much.
With the help of this commission from the government, Chijiang Nayue quickly guessed who the first client was who had submitted the commission and invited him to come to the island but had not shown up yet.
H.G. Wells himself was framed.
The truth of the matter is probably that Wells learned that someone was going to detonate the [Shell], but he was unable to take the initiative to contact the authorities, so he could only find ways to lure him to Standard Island.
Of course he couldn't let the situation get worse, and after knowing that the real culprit was someone else, Chi Jiang Na Yue immediately took action, but there was another problem here.
Standard Island is an extraterritorial island where foreign governments are not allowed to intervene. The Japanese government cannot interfere in all matters on it. As the president of the detective agency, Akae Nazuki can take action, but he cannot reveal the fact that it was the Japanese government that commissioned him, and he cannot let the real culprit hiding on the island discover his whereabouts.
This led to the fact that when he found the super idiot who wanted to bring four million people to help his subordinates get justice by vindicating the injustice done to them - sorry, he really couldn't control his emotions at this moment and wanted to curse a few more times - he was still one step too late.
The other party detonated the [Shell] in front of him, and he and the guy were standing at the center of the explosion.
Now that I think about it, it was indeed very dangerous.
For Chijiang Nayue, death has two results. One is that he can jump in time after committing suicide, and the other is that he will be resurrected at the same place after he dies.
If he is killed by the [Shell], he will eventually be reborn alone at sea, but he will be the only survivor within a 35-kilometer radius.
Of course, Chi Jiang Na Yue could not accept this outcome. Naturally, when he realized that he could not stop the other party from detonating the explosion, he decisively turned the gun around and pulled the trigger at his own head. His action was so fast that no one could react.
All he had to do was go back in time and stop him before he did. That was what Akajyo Nayue was thinking at the time.
But the lives of four million people and his family depended on him, so he made a terrible mistake at that moment - Chi Jiang Na Yue forgot that there was another person on the island, Wells, the real owner of the [Time Machine], who invited him to help.
At that time, Wells also wanted to go back in time to stop all this. He also wanted to go back in time to stop all this, and the result was obvious.
They had a 'car crash'.
Two fundamentally identical powers collided, creating a huge anomaly with an unexpected effect. How big was it? It basically covered the entire Earth.
Since their world was originally the product of the fusion of two worlds, this anomaly temporarily separated the two worlds again. The [Book], which was originally the origin of the supernatural world, only had time to protect the supernatural world in times of crisis, and the detection world completely became a world of anomalies.
By the time Akajinazuki realized what was happening, it was already too late. He clearly felt that time had been turned back to an earlier time, so early that the worlds had not merged, and so early that he had not returned to Yokohama.
His past, or that of everyone in the original detective world, has been changed.
Chi Jiang Na Yue realized this after waking up. As for why he knew this... it all started when he was closing his eyes outside the principal's office not long ago. He looked at the five eggs in his waist bag in bewilderment, and watched as five replicas of his friends were 'hatched' out of the eggs.
According to his body time, he is now in the year when he was ten years old. Chi Jiang Nayue knows very well that when he was really ten years old, he did not find five strange eggs in the quilt.
After discussing for a while with his friends who were obviously also confused and whose memories ended at the moment of the explosion, Akajinazuki temporarily found his next target.
He cannot contact the Book now, so naturally he does not know what the situation is like in the half of the supernatural world that was split off. However, he can first find the changed past in the half of the world where the situation is more serious, try to correct it, and then find a way to restore the world to its original state.
Isn't it just saving the world? The difference is that this time the mission is in his own world. He is an experienced worker, so don't panic.
That being said, Akajina Yue ended her memories and once again secretly glanced at the blond-haired boy who led the way. She couldn't help but reveal a very strange expression.
He was already in school when he opened his eyes. He originally thought that since his friends had changed into that form and followed him, it meant that the young forms of his friends would no longer appear in the past. After all, in a sense, they were now in Tokyo eighteen years ago, and there could only be one identical person in a timeline.
Now it doesn't seem to be the case, the reasons behind this are very complicated. Anyway, it is enough to know that this group of youngsters and the guardian sweethearts he brought with him are essentially the same person, not just their counterparts.
On the other hand, regardless of how his past had been changed, just by seeing this child who was supposed to be Rei Furuya's childhood, he realized how terrible this so-called changed past was.
He didn't even need to confirm with Rei Furuya himself in his waist bag.
...How could Zero, at the age of twelve, show such a fake smile that resembled Toru Amuro's, and even be murderous to his classmates in the classroom! Don't think he can't see it. When he looked at this transfer student, this little Zero obviously put himself in the position of an attacker.
Who would start a good person's observation of others with the prefix "if I attack", this black-skinned and black-hearted gold-rimmed bun!
And that is——
"Do you have any special friends in school, Fūya-kun?" After the air between the two of them was silent for a while, the transfer student took the initiative to bring up the topic.
Ha, you're obviously not the type to initiate conversation, but when you're alone with him, you're pretending to be that cheerful person in class?
Ling thought casually, ignoring the subtle dissatisfaction in his heart.
"No." He looked distressed. "Maybe it's because my skin and hair color are weird... I'm mixed-race, and my classmates at school don't really like to play with me."
'No friends'? That's the biggest difference.
Where did Hiro go?
Chijiang Nayue clearly felt her waist bag shaking violently, and the five eggs inside were about to break.
He covered his waist bag with his hands and said before Zero's attention shifted to it, "Is it weird? I think it looks good. The golden hair looks like a sunflower."
Akajinazuki was mainly concerned with suppressing his friends who were ready to make a move, so he didn't notice the look in Zero's eyes when he turned around and looked at him.
"Besides," Chi Jiang Na Yue lowered his head and said in a calm tone that was not good for his current appearance and age, "No matter what skin color you have, you will bleed red when you are killed."
The good news is that his wallet remained stable, and no one even tried to change his image for a long time afterwards, which saved his image.
Bad news...
"I feel like we'll get along well, Akae-kun, can I just call you by your name?" Zero suddenly said on the way out of the locker room and onto the playground.
The blond boy was very good at using his appearance to his advantage. He used that cute face with baby fat to face him when he spoke. His attitude had changed from the previous nonchalant attitude. His polite fake smile was a little bit real. "You can also just call me 'Zero'. The next PE class will be divided into groups for free activities. Do you want to be in the same group with me?"
Three or four points is still pitifully little.
Chijiang Nayue didn't care and was a little excited.
——Bad news, he was targeted by this black-hearted little bread guy.
