Chapter 22

When the car goes fast, it will inevitably go crooked.

Amemiya narrowly avoided pedestrians and vehicles, and almost hit the roadside guardrail several times while avoiding them. However, he continued driving intact amid Tsushima Shuji's terrified screams.

"Sir, be careful—"

"To the right! A little to the right!"

"Be careful there's someone ahead!"

Tsushima Shuji's expression almost turned into that artist's scream.

Amamiya Reizo also screamed in panic: "I dodged, I dodged!"

"I didn't touch it!!"

“I’m dying, I’m dying, ahhhh!”

He deliberately drove towards a remote road, and fortunately he did not mistake the accelerator for the brake. After driving recklessly for half an hour and the car drove into a deserted road, Amamiya Reiji slowed down and wiped the sweat from his head.

"Thanks to my mother's blessing..." Amamiya panted, "I didn't get into a car accident."

It seems that his parents in heaven would not want their son to die in a car accident like them, so they did not let the car that Uncle Hulang kindly lent them be scrapped.

Shuji Tsushima's legs were shaking, his face was pale, his hands were tightly grasping the back of the chair and the seat belt, his arms were so tight that veins were bulging, for he was afraid that he would fly out during the high-speed car race.

"Mr. Amamiya," the boy swallowed, "I think you should learn how to drive and get a driver's license."

He couldn't help but imagine that if there was a car chasing them, with Amemiya's accumulated driving skills, he would probably even lose his soul following the car.

Amamiya Reizo was a little confused, and he said incoherently, "Okay, okay, I'll come back for sure."

He wants to become a veteran driver, the kind of awesome guy who can drift on the spot, instead of just being able to drift like a hearse now.

After slowing down, Amamiya Ruisei finally had time to figure out where he had run to. He stopped the car temporarily and looked at the unfamiliar environment around him blankly, feeling a little at a loss.

The situation was urgent just now, and he could only run as fast as he could. He didn't remember which road he took, but it was obvious that in order to avoid people, he drove to remote places as much as possible. Now they were far away from Tsushima Shuji's house and were in the suburbs of an unknown town.

It was noon now. Amamiya Leisei leaned against the car, squinting his eyes and looking up at the sun in the sky, feeling a little depressed.

If the wish-granting machine was still with them, there might not be only Hisako who would try to stop them. Obviously, the forces that knew the news had no intention of making it public, but it is not ruled out that they would lose patience in the end and simply send out powerful psychics to kill them all.

Amemiya Leisheng reached out and took out the hard box and fell into deep thought.

Do you want to hand it over?

Regardless of what he thinks, it seems that these forces are doing legitimate things. If this universal wish-granting machine falls into their hands, it is not difficult for Amamiya Ruisei to imagine what will happen.

What if you give it to someone you can trust?

Amamiya Ruisei thought of the Supernatural Special Agent Department.

The identity of this vest of his is also a member of the Special Powers Department. He had previously thought about accepting the system's suggestion and using this world pillar to modify his identity settings, but it is undeniable that an official identity is often a tool to protect oneself. It can not only protect him, but also protect Tsushima Shuji.

No matter what the politicians above think, at least the Special Forces Division he had come into contact with, under the management of Taneda Santoka, did not have the idea of ​​profit above all else. If - if the Special Forces Division in this world and at this point in time was the same as the one where his original body was, then could he...

Amamiya Reishi's hands trembled.

Should I seek help from the Special Powers Division? This thought appeared in his mind and quickly spread. Amamiya Leisheng pursed his lips, took out his cell phone, and opened the secret contact method.

But after he finished typing, he hesitated again when his finger touched the send key.

He wanted to change his identity because he didn't want to be discovered by Tsushima Shuji and make the boy think that he was approaching him with the same purpose as other forces. Although this identity was not what he wanted, it would make Tsushima Shuji disappointed in him and destroy the trust he had finally built in him.

Even though his purpose was different, he came to Tsushima Shuji with the idea of ​​completing the mission and surviving, gaining the trust of the pillar of the world and obtaining the energy to survive from Tsushima Shuji.

If Tsushima Shuji fails in his mission because of his concealment and deception of his identity...

Amamiya Reishi's hand remained still for a long time, but finally fell.

I don't want anything to happen to him again.

The young man's exposed eye reflected the words on the mobile phone screen.

If Xiuzhi knew, he would be angry, disappointed in him, and would never call him sir again.

Feelings are not a mission, so how could he allow Tsushima Shuji to fall into danger again and again like he is doing now, watching children get hurt and sad, and then stepping forward to save them and making Tsushima Shuji grateful to him?

This is too bad. Shuji-kun is still a child.

Amemiya Ruisheng thought disappointedly: Although the mission may fail, considering that they are all pillars of the world, at least Tsushima Shuji can use this thing to get the protection of the Special Powers Department, and in this way, he can grow up healthily.

He and Tsushima Shuji have not been together for a long time, and their trust in each other is not high now. Even if he leaves, the children will soon forget him and will not feel sad.

I still feel a little bit unwilling, um, a little bit unwilling.

Amemiya Keisei put away his phone, took a deep breath, patted his face, temporarily put aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and looked at the box again.

Since I have decided to leave and use this thing to exchange for Tsushima Shuji's safety, I have to take the thing out to give the child more chips.

If a powerful psychic can destroy the box, then he...

Amemiya Reiichi stretched out a finger and gestured at the box with a hesitant look on his face.

"Sir?" Tsushima Shuji walked around after getting off the car, and then he saw Amamiya Raisei frowning at the box. "What happened?"

The young man replied listlessly: "No..."

Amamiya Raisei looked at Tsushima Shuji and said, "Where have you been? Don't go too far."

"It's not far. I just saw a fruit tree," Tsushima Shuji showed the small fruit in his pocket. "You had breakfast at about six o'clock, and you ran for so long. You must be hungry. I have already washed it with water."

Amamiya Leisei was silent for a moment, staring blankly at the little fruit in the boy's pocket. After a while of silence, he reached out and touched his head, chuckling, "I'm not hungry, you eat it, children can't not eat."

Tsushima Shuji curled his lips and said, "There are more over there, but I can't take them all. These are for you. I'll just pick more."

"Let's eat something first, and then drive away." If you stay in one place for too long, trouble will follow.

After he finished speaking, he gritted his teeth and looked at Amamiya Leisheng with uneasiness: "Sir, I... I have already contacted my father, and everything will be fine soon."

"Have you contacted the head of the Tsushima family?" Amamiya Leisheng opened his mouth wide.

Tsushima Shuji said anxiously: "I think... we have no other choice now except asking our father for help." Even though the Tsushima family was one of the forces that put them in such a dangerous situation, no matter what, as long as he is still useful, the head of the Tsushima family will not let him die.

Amamiya Leisheng's brows twitched.

So now it depends on who will find them first, the Tsushima family or the Special Powers Division?

Emotionally, Amamiya Keisei is more inclined towards the Special Powers Department. Tsushima Shuji is a very smart child. Considering Taneda Santoka's appreciation of talent, he will definitely not let the child put in danger. But there is also a problem. He is not sure if the Special Powers Department here is the same as his.

As for Tsushima Shuji, he grew up in the Tsushima family and may stay there for a long time. The boy is still too young. Even though he knows that the Tsushima family is not a good choice and will even use him again and again, he does not have the ability to leave this family.

"gentlemen?"

Perhaps it was because Amamiya Raisei's attitude was hard to understand, Tsushima Shuji nervously clutched his clothes and said, "I'm sorry, did I make a wrong decision? Did I cause trouble for you? I, I...but I've already contacted you."

Amamiya Ruisei rubbed his forehead with a headache, squatted down and said to the boy: "Shuji-kun, answer me seriously, do you really want to be restricted by your father forever?"

Tsushima Shuji moved his lips: "I, of course..."

"But I'm still too weak. I don't have any special powers. I'm just an ordinary person. I don't have the same power as them. Even people with special powers can work for me..."

The boy lowered his head, staring at the fruit in his pocket, and said in a muffled voice: "What can I do? At my age, even if I leave the Tsushima family and Aomori, where can I go? What's more, maybe my father will send people to catch me before I even step out of Aomori."

Without ability, how can we fight against those adults?

Tsushima Shuji's breathing quickened. He clenched his fists, his arms trembled slightly, and even his voice trembled: "I want to gain power, whether it is supernatural power or power. If I could choose, how could I be like this, being ordered around by others and not being able to trust even the people around me?"

He didn't want to be a chess piece, nor did he want to be helpless like Hisahiko. He wanted to be the chess player.

Huge ambitions spread wildly in the young boy's heart, filling his thoughts and spreading throughout his mind.

There was a flash of cruelty in Tsushima Shuji's eyes, but he hid it in the blink of an eye, and even his iris-colored eyes darkened a little.

Amamiya Ruisei pinched his knuckles and said in a hoarse voice: "Shuji-kun, now... there is another choice for you to choose."

The boy looked up suddenly.

"This road will be more difficult, with more restrictions and the possibility of losing your freedom." Amamiya paused, "But if you can survive it, everything will be different."

Tsushima Shuji wants power, so it would be better if he could go directly through official channels. The Special Power Department is different from the government agencies in the open. After all, it is composed of people with special powers, and it values ​​ability more. As long as you have the ability and means, you can climb up in a short time.

But there are also many restrictions. Official government agencies always have all kinds of troubles to do. Generally speaking, it is an obvious channel, but the methods of growth are right in front of us. Staying in the Tsushima family is a road leading to an unknown. I don’t know what the future will be like, and I don’t know what the ending will be. It may be that Tsushima Shuji gets rid of the Tsushima family, or he may be swallowed up by the Tsushima family.

"I'm not sure if this path is suitable for you, but I think at least you will have one more choice."

Amamiya Leisei put his hand on Tsushima Shuji's shoulder and said sternly, "Shuji-kun, do you believe me?"

Tsushima Shuji didn't know when he loosened his grip on the clothes, and the fruit in the hem of the clothes rolled to the ground. The boy met Amamiya Ruisei's eyes, and his expression changed rapidly, and finally calmed down.

He raised his hand and grasped Amamiya Reizo's wrist, and said softly, "Of course... I trust you, Mr. Amamiya."

[Progress: 20%]

Tsushima Shuji smiled slightly: "You are, my teacher."

Amamiya Leisheng also smiled. He sighed and said, "Let's get in the car and leave. If nothing unexpected happens, this matter will be over soon."

Let Tsushima Shuji first come into contact with the people of the Special Powers Department and learn about the other world. Even if he chooses to go back to the Tsushima family in the end, at least the current crisis can be resolved.

They picked some more small fruits, and Amamiya Leisheng drove forward again, heading for the location he had informed the Special Powers Department.

It was a gurgling river. Amamiya Reiji parked the car not far away and hid in the woods with Tsushima Shuji to wait for people. Not knowing when the people from the Special Powers Department would arrive, Amamiya Reiji planned to continue what he had not yet completed.

——Take out the things in the box.

"Shuji-kun," Amamiya Leisei breathed, and said to Tsushima Shuji, "Wait for me near the car first. If anything happens, hide in the car."

Tsushima Shuji didn't quite understand what Amamiya Ruisei was going to do: "Sir?"

"I..." Amemiya Rei was about to explain when he suddenly remembered that Tsushima Shuji didn't know that he had superpowers, and he fell into deep thought for a moment.

What did he say when he explained the supernatural powers to Tsushima Shuji?

Oh, he said he has no supernatural powers.

Then think about what he said when Tsushima Shuji asked him about his identity?

Oh, he said he didn't have any weird identity.

Amamiya Ruisei suddenly felt suffocated. Although he was mentally prepared that Tsushima Shuji would be disappointed in him and lose trust in him, he felt extremely depressed when he thought about the things he had hidden.

Well, he would die after the mission failed anyway. Amamiya Ruisheng was crying in his heart, so he could only let the child suffer a little and let Tsushima Shuji be angry with him. He hoped that the child would hate him, and then quickly put this bastard behind him and grow up well.

"I'll explain it to you later." Amamiya Reishi's expression was as if he was constipated. "The situation is urgent now. You just need to know that I'm going to try to open this box and take out the things inside."

Tsushima Shuji blinked, and the smart kid immediately thought of something and asked, "Sir, do you have supernatural powers?"

Amamiya spoke with difficulty: "Um, um... yes, that's right, I'm sorry, I lied to you..."

He was ready to get rid of the kid and scold him coldly, but he didn't expect Tsushima Shuji to just smile and say, "I see, that's how it is. I knew it. How could someone like you be ordinary?"

Amamiya Reizo: “……?”

Just as Amamiya Ruishou was about to ask how he found it, Tsushima Shuji said, "The situation is urgent now. If you want to open the box, open it first and I will explain it to you later."

The young man choked, then smiled helplessly, "Yes, Xiuzhi-kun is so smart."

I guess he had some vague ideas before, and when he made those suggestions just now, I was sure that he had a connection with the world of superpowers.

"Then Shuji-kun, please stay away from me."

Amamiya Leisei said, "I'm afraid of hurting you."

Tsushima Shuji narrowed his eyes, took a few steps back as instructed, and hid behind a tree.

Amamiya Keisei placed his hand on the box, took several deep breaths, closed his eyes, and then began to mobilize the supernatural powers in his body.

[Host——!] The system sensed the power fluctuations and rushed out immediately, [Host, why are you using your supernatural powers? ! You can——!]

[It's okay, system.]

Amamiya Reizo forced a smile: "Since the mission is about to fail, I might as well do something for Shuji-kun. He is my student after all."

However, this teacher-student relationship did not last long.

[Host!! No!]

As the supernatural power fluctuations of Amamiya Keisei increased, the system was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot: [It will be connected to the main body! Even if it is not fully released, it cannot be allowed! ]

Amamiya Reizo spoke in a weak voice: [It doesn’t matter, system… Anyway, the mission has failed, and I won’t live much longer. I’m sorry, I can’t help you. How about you take my supernatural power and use it as energy to repair yourself before I die?]

[Host, what nonsense are you talking about!]

Amemiya Reizo half closed his eyes, the supernatural power in his body surged, and a little silver light flashed on his fingertips that were resting on the box. Even if it was just a little bit, the pressure around him suddenly increased. He groaned, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

The silver light grew brighter and brighter, almost covering his entire knuckles. His long gray hair moved without wind, revealing his prosthetic eye.

He moved his fingertips, pressed the light on the box, and scratched it lightly. A cut mark instantly appeared on the extremely hard box, almost breaking it to the bottom.

The accident happened at this moment. A gunshot suddenly rang out, followed by Tsushima Shuji's cry of pain: "Ah!!"

The boy's voice dimmed the light on Amemiya Rei's fingertips. He couldn't hold back the blood in his throat anymore and coughed out of his mouth, seeping into the crack in the box.

His vision was already blurry, and he raised his head with difficulty to look in the direction of Tsushima Shuji. In his hazy vision, he saw the boy running towards him, covering his bleeding arm, and several people with guns following behind him.

...He was neither from the Special Powers Division nor from the Tsushima family, so he got there first.

Amemiya Reisei coughed violently, with blood constantly flowing out of his mouth. He forced his hand up, and his fingertips, with a silver light that had not yet completely extinguished, pointed at the person chasing after Tsushima Shuji.

The gunshots fell silent at this moment, and his consciousness fell into complete darkness, with only the boy's screams remaining in his ears.

"gentlemen--!!"
