Chapter 12: The Secret of Superpowers
"Whoosh-"
The waves lap at the shore.
This was a week after the "Tianliang" incident.
At that time, Tsugami Shoichi was in an extremely embarrassed state. He was soaked and fell on the beach, with the tide covering his body from time to time.
Several female high school students playing at the beach discovered Shoichi and ran over screaming.
When the girls worked together to pull Xiang Yi out of the beach, Xiang Yi had already regained some consciousness.
He said to the girls in a weak voice.
"Be careful if your shoes get wet..."
…
"Is this the whole process of how Xiang Yi was discovered?"
At Misugi's house, Kazutani Makoto was sitting quietly on the sofa with his hands on his chin, listening to Professor Misugi's detailed story with Shoichi about the time when Shoichi had just discovered that he had lost his memory.
Although she had already heard Professor Misugi talk about those things, but this time she was able to discover many details that she had not noticed before.
"'Be careful if your shoes get wet', it does sound like what Shoichi would say!"
The real fish turned his head and looked at Xiang Yi, feeling inexplicably happy because of these words.
Recalling that Xiangyi said before that he wanted to protect everyone's place of refuge, this sentence is not just a nice word. Maybe Xiangyi really wants to do this!
Professor Misugi also affirmed, "Shoichi cares more about their shoes than his own affairs."
Xiang Yi, who was on the side, scratched his head and smiled shyly, "Probably, it seems that he did say so..."
At this time, the doorbell rang.
The real fish quickly got up and walked towards the door.
"A guest is coming? Xiangyi, go and make tea."
However, when Mayo opened the door, the person who came to visit turned out to be the policeman she and Xiangyi met last night - Makoto Hikawa!
"It's you!" Bingbing was also a little surprised.
He originally just heard Ozawa Chengzi say that there was a teacher who took good care of her in college and was engaged in research related to super powers, so Hikawa came to visit specifically to clarify his conjecture. Unexpectedly, he would meet the person he met last night.
.
Hikawa explained his identity and purpose of coming, and then took out the photo with the strange date and the bottle containing the 100 yen coin.
Professor Misugi picked up the two items and looked at them carefully for a while.
"So, do you think these things are caused by human beings' special abilities?"
"Yes." Glacier nodded, "That's why I want to ask you if there is such a possibility."
Zhenyu stared straight at the two things on the coffee table. After hearing that Hikawa Makoto's purpose was to investigate super powers, he became very silent. His eyes were lowered and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Professor Misugi thought carefully and replied cautiously: "As a scholar, I think we should not rashly deny the possibility of the unknown. There are indeed many unsolved mysteries in human beings, but..."
However, Professor Misugi was interrupted by Shoichi before he could finish his words.
"Welcome, what a special fate, Officer Hikawa!" Xiangyi walked over with a few cups of hot tea with a smile, and put down the cups in front of several people, "It's just some coarse tea, please use it with caution."
"Have you seen it?" Professor Misugi looked at him strangely.
"Yes, we met once at Yamato Park yesterday evening." Xiangyi explained with a smile.
"Okay, let's continue talking about super powers. Although we can't deny it easily, but..."
Gu Jue
Professor Misugi was about to continue talking again, but at this moment, Shino suddenly stood up, "I would like to ask, what is the reason for Officer Hikawa's investigation of people with super powers?"
"About this matter..." Glacier was stunned for a moment, and then asked after hesitating for a long time, "I wonder what you think of the recent rumors of killings by unknown beings?"
Since the killings of unknown beings are generally relatively hidden, the attacks do not target a wide range of people.
Moreover, as long as a victim appears, the next target of the unknown life can be confirmed in advance, and the harm to society is not as great as Gurungi's.
For various reasons, things about the unknown were not made public by the police like Gurungi, but existed as urban legends.
Professor Misugi also heard about the Unknown, "I heard that those unknown beings are weirdos like the Gurungi, but weren't the Gurungi eliminated by No. 1 and 4 and the search headquarters at that time two years ago?"
If faced with ordinary people, Glacier might choose to hide it and not mention unknown at all.
But when he thought that the real fish and Xiangyi who appeared at the crime scene last night must have met unknown, then there was no need to hide it.
So he said: "Unknown and Gurungi are completely different life forms, and they do exist. And this photo and bottle were both found from the victim, so I want to find out the pattern of unknown attacking humans, and whether there is any
People with special abilities are the targets of unknown attacks?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhenyu's face instantly turned pale, his legs gave out and he fell onto the sofa again.
"Eh? What's wrong with you, Maho-chan?" Xiangyi quickly put down his tea cup and ran over.
The target of the unknown attack is a human with superpowers?!
Now the real fish's mind is filled with the last words of Police Officer Glacier, and he can't help but tremble all over.
The real fish felt extremely frightened at the thought of that terrible monster attacking him when he was alone.
For a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, such pressure is obviously too heavy.
"Zhenyu, are you okay?"
The strange behavior of the real fish also attracted Professor Misugi's attention, and he couldn't help but ask with concern.
Feng Guzhenyu quickly adjusted his state to calm down, and forced out a smile, "No...nothing uncle...ah! Suddenly I remembered that I left something at school. Uncle, you guys talk first, Xiang will accompany you later.
Let me go find it together."
"Huh?" Xiang Yi asked doubtfully, "But yesterday you weren't Kuang..."
"Shut up!" Mahyu blocked Xiang Yi's mouth, then pulled Xiang Yi and ran out in a hurry.
In the living room, Professor Misugi was already used to strange things, and with Shoichi following him, there was nothing to worry about. He and Hikawa continued to discuss matters related to super powers.
Outside the house, the sound of a locomotive engine quickly faded away.
…
Bunkyo District, 10:56am.
polepole restaurant.
Shoichi Tsugami rode his bicycle and brought the real fish here, and finally stopped in front of a shop with the door sign saying "ポレ, ポレ".
After getting off the car, Xiangyi still didn't understand the situation, "Mayu-chan, why did you suddenly come to Ryuusuke-senpai's place? What happened?"
Zhenyu pursed his lips, "Actually... I have something I want to ask Mr. Higashino."
At this time, the store door opened, and Higashino Ryusuke, who had a premonition, walked out of it, and sure enough, he saw Mayo and Shoichi already at the door.
"Good morning, Ryusuke-senpai!" Shoichi waved his hand and greeted him warmly.
The sound of "Ryuusuke-senpai" reminded Higashino of the first time he met Shoichi in the decadent world. Did this title start from now on?
He couldn't help but smile lightly.
