Chapter 48

"Captain Taneda." Tsushima Shuji came to Taneda Santoka's office, "If it's about the 'book', I think I have explained it clearly."

Taneda Santohuo shook his head: "It's not about this."

The matter of the 'book' has come to an end. After Tsushima Shuji came up from the sea without getting the 'book', everything became particularly easy to handle. The people above shifted their attention away from Tsushima Shuji and tried to collect information about the 'book' through other methods. They cared more about the pages of the book than a child.

As for the Port Mafia, it shrank after being beaten up by the Special Powers Division. The strange rumors circulating in Yokohama gradually disappeared, and Shuji Tsushima himself seemed to have completely disappeared from their sight.

Tsushima Shuji: "In that case, then it's about Mr. Sensei?"

"You can say that..." Taneda Santouki looked at Tsushima Shuji hesitantly.

A week ago, Tsushima Shuji's supernatural power awakened and went out of control, causing Amamiya Keisei, who was closest to him at the time, to fall into a coma. He didn't even dare to get close to the ward for the first two days. Later, when his supernatural power stabilized, the boy stayed by the bed and didn't get a good rest for several days. At his age, he should be full of energy, but he looked very depressed.

"I think you know," Taneda Santo sighed, "the supernatural powers that have plagued him for many years. Before he reached adulthood, he basically spent his time in the hospital. Later, when he grew up, he managed to achieve a balance between his body and supernatural powers. In recent years, he has been able to live like a normal person."

"But his ability is always like a time bomb. It's fine when he's not using it, but it hurts every time he uses it. Who knows if it will suddenly explode one day."

Taneda Santohuo raised his hand to support his forehead: "So we have been trying to find a way to make him feel better."

Of course, there was no need to explain to Tsushima Shuji how it was done specifically.

"And your ability is very special." Taneda Santoka looked at Tsushima Shuji with complicated eyes, "You can neutralize the ability through contact, and even when you are rampaging... To some extent, your ability can help Keisei very well."

Tsushima Shuji: "So you want me to cooperate with some experiment and find a way to help you suppress your superpowers?"

It's easy to imagine what Taneda Santouki wants him to do when he says this. Although it's still unclear what effect his ability will have on Amamiya Keisei under normal circumstances, the characteristics of this ability itself have huge value.

Think about it, if some powerful psychic appears in the future who the Psychic Special Service Department cannot deal with, we can just throw Tsushima Shuji next to him so that he can't use his psychic powers. That would be much easier to deal with.

He lowered his eyes.

Rather than researching ways to help Amamiya Tadashi, it would be more accurate to say that we are researching how to make the enemy's supernatural powers ineffective, such as analyzing his supernatural powers and developing machines and tools that can better suppress them. After all, he is only one person and you can't treat him as a consumable.

Ahhh... this is really...

Tsushima Shuji closed his eyes and said, "I understand. If you really put the safety of the master first, then I don't mind. But I also have conditions."

He and Taneda Santouki exchanged a glance, and they both understood each other's thoughts hidden in the dark: "I hope to get his consent after Mr. wakes up, and then conduct more in-depth research."

The eyes of the farmer Shan Tou Huo flashed.

If he wants to get Amamiya Keisei's consent, Taneda Santoka is not sure whether the other party will agree, but looking at Tsushima Shuji's attitude, it seems that he is willing to agree, but he just wants a guarantee. Maybe the boy will go to persuade Amamiya Keisei in person at that time.

"Okay," Taneda Santoukao thought for a while and nodded, "I'll have someone inform you of the details later. If you have any questions, you can always ask me."

After a pause, he continued, "Don't worry, there will definitely be no outrageous behavior in the research. I will follow up the whole process and ensure that there will be no harm to you and your family."

"Of course I believe in Mr. Taneda," Tsushima Shuji raised his lips reluctantly, "You are a trustworthy elder."

But many times, adults have no choice. Tsushima Shuji could refuse, and Taneda Santoka would help him bear the pressure from the upper level. But if this kind of thing is mentioned once, it will be mentioned a second time. By then, maybe something might go wrong with Amamiya Keisei's supernatural power while he is lying in bed, forcing Tsushima Shuji to compromise.

It's better to just agree and still take control of the initiative.

"But..."

Tsushima Shuji pursed his lips: "I just trust you."

If Taneda Santouki is no longer the head of the Special Powers Division, God knows what this place will become.

Taneda Santo sighed, reached out and patted Tsushima Shuji on the shoulder: "Don't worry."

"One more thing," he hesitated, then said, "Are you going to Kukiko's funeral?"

Tsushima Shuji was stunned.

"They don't have any close relatives in their family anymore. Kukiko is a psychic on the government side after all, so we will host the funeral in their hometown of Aomori."

Taneda Santoka: "Considering your relationship and the Aomori issue, I don't think you will go. But I still want to ask for your opinion. If you want to go, I can prepare a flight ticket for you right away. If you want to bring someone with you, that's fine too, since the Tsushima family is also there."

This time, Tsushima Shuji was silent for a long time.

"I'll go."

Hisako took care of him until he was ten years old, and when he went to her funeral, he was also saying goodbye to the past ten years.

As for the future...

Tsushima Shuji lowered his eyes.

Then struggle painfully on the road to finding the answer.

…

…

Amemiya Reizo slept very deeply this time, so deeply that he could hardly wake up. He felt as if he was in water, with suffocating pressure surrounding him, and yet he seemed to be empty, and his body lost weight and fell down.

He always felt that he should wake up the next second, but he always stayed in the dream. He dreamed of the grown-up Shuji, no, maybe it was the leader Dazai of this world. He was wearing a black suit and looked lifeless like a walking corpse. Occasionally, he saw the little Shuji Tsushima, holding a big red apple in his hand and smiling sweetly at him.

But when the big apple melted in the boy's hand, the bright red juice flowed out from Tsushima Shuji's palm like flowing blood, flowed along the fingertips to his arm, slid over his wrist, and dripped onto the ground from his elbow.

The moment the sound of dripping water rang out, Amamiya Lei suddenly opened his eyes and gasped for breath.

He stared at the ceiling in a daze, a little confused. He hadn't woken up completely from his dream yet, and the palpitations and panic in his heart could not be calmed for a long time.

"It's been a day since I came back..." Amamiya Leisheng murmured.

"It's been a month since Shuji-kun's death, right? His birthday is coming soon, right?"

On Tsushima Shuji's eleventh birthday, Amamiya Ruisei still hasn't woken up.
