Chapter 246 The appearance of the doomsday (please vote for this chapter)
Wano Country, New Tokyo.
In the Prime Minister's Office.
"Absurd! Ridiculous! Absolutely insane!"
Prime Minister Higashikata Higashikata, who stayed up all night and gave a public televised speech in the afternoon, had a face with strong lines and a firm and upright face in front of the public. At this time, his face was full of tiredness, and this tiredness was reflected on a phone call.
Then it turned into anger.
"Didn't you already agree to open the Sky Tree's [border] gate to them? What else do those old guys want to do? Are you really not afraid of me rejecting this request?"
After repeating this sentence a few times feebly, Prime Minister Dong Mori Ya lay back on the chair very tiredly, rubbed his brows in annoyance, and looked up at the ceiling above his head with dull eyes.
.
Not far behind him, a shadowy man stood in the shadow behind the curtain, holding a cup of coffee and stirring it gently with a spoon as usual.
After picking up the coffee and taking a sip, the man smacked it in his mouth. He seemed to be recalling the coffee grinding by hand by the man in the office of the Third Investigation Team who dreamed of becoming a barista when he was a child. He couldn't help but shake his head gently.
.
After drinking it again and again, the coffee there is still the most mellow and memorable, and the instant coffee in the Prime Minister's Office is more than one grade behind.
However, Shadow is not picky, so he can drink whatever he wants. After pursing his lips, he heard the Prime Minister of the Cabinet muttering to himself, and couldn't help but shrugged and said:
"They know that our situation is not good, and they are the only ones who can help us at the moment, so naturally they are not worried about our bargaining."
"Damn it!"
Dongsen Gu slammed his fist on the desk hard, anger and helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he said in great distress, "Eleven-year-old children, where can I find those children to feed them, and I have to supply three of them every week, these guys
What’s going on in the old guy’s head? What good do those kids do to them?”
Shadow took a sip of coffee and said casually, "Big shots all have special hobbies. It's not unreasonable for them to become more and more demonic as they get older."
"What a bastard!"
Dongsen Valley became increasingly angry.
"You mean to reject them?" Shadow Lake suddenly said.
Hearing this, a look of hesitation and struggle suddenly appeared on Dongsen Gu's face.
Being able to connect with the Nine Great Celestial Beings is his last bargaining chip in the upcoming triennial "World Conference" in June.
Now that the Judgment Division has withdrawn from Wano, what Tōmori Valley is most worried about is that at the upcoming "World Conference", people from the Judgment Division will propose to directly kick him out of the Alliance - which means that he has struggled for half his life.
All his political efforts have been wasted, so he must find a helping hand who can speak out for them at that time.
The old people from the Nine Celestial Family are undoubtedly such reliable helpers.
Dongsen Valley has almost arranged everything for the other party's trip to Wano Country, and strives to satisfy the other party, but he didn't expect those old guys to make such a request before leaving.
Refuse?
Can he really refuse?
"No, no. Just wait and think about a solution. There will always be a solution." Dongsen Hegu rubbed his eyebrows and suddenly asked, "Are there any younger prisoners among the prisoners in the prison?"
Shadow was slightly startled, as if he didn't expect that Dongsen Valley would really compromise.
But he was only responsible for handling matters and never asked about anything else, so the big shots could rest assured to leave matters to him.
Because it is professional, you can rest assured.
To a certain extent, Shadow and Nanami Kenjiro are the same kind of people. They both have excellent professional qualities. Even if he fails, he will never let anyone find out or associate with those big shots.
After thinking for a while, Shadow said, "I guess there are some in juvenile halls, but at least there are not many who are over fourteen years old, and I'm afraid there aren't many who are eleven years old."
At this point, Shadow paused and continued, "And most of those children have a father and a mother. If they suddenly disappeared, it would be difficult to end."
Dongsen Valley was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly he came to his senses.
In this age where the Internet and self-media are extremely developed, parents who love their children can easily cause big troubles, and suddenly feel a pang of regret in their hearts.
Why did I really have evil thoughts?
But some thoughts, once they occur, are difficult to erase.
Dongsen Valley took a deep breath, and suddenly remembered something with a slight movement in his heart. A look of struggle flashed in his eyes, and he finally made a decision.
"I heard that there is a children's shelter in New Tokyo, which is dedicated to taking in children who have fled from the Grand Duchy of Shayash in the north without a father or mother." Dongsen Valley did not continue.
But everything has been left unsaid.
The Grand Duchy of Shayash in the north has long since fallen apart, and the children who have fled to Wano are all children who lost their parents and were displaced during the wars of the revolutionary army. Even if a few disappear, no one will care about them.
The air in the office was quiet for a while.
In the shadow behind the curtain, the man who had been silent for a long time finally finished the coffee in his hand, placed the coffee cup on the windowsill, nodded and said:
"I see."
After saying that, his figure couldn't stop shaking, and he was about to disappear into the shadows behind the curtains.
Dongsen Gu suddenly remembered something and reminded, "There is no need to talk to Team Leader Kimura about this matter for the time being."
The shadow did not answer, but nodded silently in the corner, and then disappeared completely, leaving only an empty coffee cup behind the curtains swaying in the breeze.
After there was only one person left in the office, Dongsen Gu, who had not slept all night until this afternoon, could no longer bear it and threw his tired body on the chair behind him, looking up blankly at the ceiling above his head.
There seemed to be a voice echoing repeatedly in my mind.
Is this right?
Is this really right?
After a while, Dongsen Gu's eyes gradually regained clarity and became firmer than ever before.
This is his country, the country he has devoted half his life to, and he will not allow anyone to destroy it.
Even if it is,
Get your hands dirty.
On March 10, 1122 in the Tianyuan calendar, many major events occurred that made people panic, anxious, and frightened. It will definitely be a day that will be recorded in the history of the entire Wano Kingdom.
Of course, the premise is that the history of this country can be passed on.
After a long night.
When the moon shadow disappears in the sky and a grayish-white color covers Tianlong again, the morning breeze blows back and forth on the streets, and the clouds of mist are blown thick and thin.
In Edogawa District, at the corner of the street near Aragaki Detective Agency, three figures, two large and one small, slowly ran out of the mist, revealing their figures.
At the door of the apartment, the charterer Satoru Aragaki, who had moved a chair and was lying in front of the door, looked at the three figures, two large and one small. He felt an inexplicable sense of harmony in his heart as he looked at a "family of three". He waited until the distance was close to avoid any surprises.
It was discovered that they were Higashinohara three people.
Today, in addition to Higashinohara and Nishimaru Miria who are doing daily exercises, there is also Coladia who is wearing a sportswear. When running in the morning mist, his satin-like blond hair is like flowing in milky white milk.
Honey.
Aragaki Satoru said with a smile, "Good morning, Miss Clodia, why did you go out to exercise with Higashino-kun today?"
Kolodya lowered her head in embarrassment, "Everyone is worried about what happened last time. I also want to become stronger and be able to protect myself."
Can running make you stronger?
Aragaki Satoru glanced at Higashinohara, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
He thought that except for this kid, who was getting stronger and stronger under his nose, from the good-for-nothing on the top floor last year to the young talent he is today, I'm afraid the others were not suitable.
But then I thought about it, if I practice running more, I might be able to run through something I can't fight in the future. It's always a way to protect myself.
Aragaki Satoru then smiled and said a few words of encouragement, instead of saying sarcastic words that were as harsh as before.
Higashinohara was hit hard when he first started to develop the habit of running in the morning last year. However, as Higashinohara completed the jump from repeater class to third grade at Takehara Minami Private Academy, all those hits turned into slaps in the face.
.
At this time, Higashinohara smiled and said hello, but when he passed by and was about to go home to clean up, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and said to Aragaki Satoru:
"By the way, boss, has the detective agency received any criminal commissions during this period?"
Yesterday, the country of Wano suddenly experienced a major change that had not happened in hundreds of years. From now on, the situation will probably become more and more chaotic.
Higashinohara is definitely not a stubborn person. If the situation is really uncontrollable, he will naturally keep Qingshan as a strategy without fear of running out of firewood.
But this is the only country he is familiar with in this strange world. There are countless people who know him, as well as parents and relatives from Hokkaido who send him living expenses every month and care about his welfare.
If it is not a last resort, Higashinohara is still reluctant to do this, so he is now more and more eager to improve his strength.
In addition to daily exercise, it would be better if from time to time you could gain some attribute points converted from sin points or abilities dropped from criminals.
However, the [Crime Manual] is very random in triggering. It cannot be triggered by just meeting someone on the street. Higashinohara himself has no way of contacting those criminals, so he turned to the Aragaki Detective Agency.
There is one thing to say,
Higashino is not looking for money.
Uh. Well, he does also care about money.
But while you can make money, you can also gain sin points. Even if it takes some time and energy, the more things you can do to kill two birds with one stone, the better.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Higashinohara's words, Aragaki Satoru lay down on the chair, looked up at the sky and sighed, "Higashino-kun, to be honest, our detective agency has not received any other commissions other than extramarital affairs investigations for almost more than a month."
Higashinohara was stunned when he heard this.
It took him a second to react.
All of this is probably due to Xia Li, a pioneer in extramarital affairs investigation, which has made Aragaki Detective Agency famous in the surrounding area.
Currently in the entire Edogawa District, if a family is not harmonious and wants to check whether the other half is having an affair, I am afraid that the first thing that comes to mind is the Aragaki Detective Agency.
Aragaki Satoru changed into a more comfortable position on the chair and sighed, "Oh, if this continues, I think the detective agency might as well be renamed the Extramarital Affairs Investigation Center."
The corners of Higashinohara's eyes twitched.
He finally figured it out. Although Aragaki Satoru sighed, his face was so pleased that he almost burst into joy. It looked like he was making a lot of money.
After shaking his head and saying goodbye, the three of them went upstairs to wash up.
If the detective agency doesn't work, they will think of other ways. There are still more than twenty days before the spring break of Takehara Minami Private Academy ends, and Higashinohara still has enough time to find the person who can trigger the mission of "Guilty Manual".
After washing up, the entire city was gradually awakened by the light morning mist in the morning breeze, revealing the appearance of the most prosperous metropolis in the entire Wano Country. There were more and more pedestrians on the streets, and the city began to move again and became lively.
Even though many people felt extremely heavy last night, beating their chests and feeling pessimistic and despairing, they only felt that the world was dark, and the country of Wano might be over overnight, and everyone would perish together and never see tomorrow again.
But today the sun still rises as usual. When people wake up and look at the world, it still seems to be the same. Then they think of the mortgage, car loan, beauty loan, and fruit loan they carry on their backs. Naturally, they have to clean up and get up, go to school and go to work.
Speaking of which, after returning from the lost world behind the border gate, Higashinohara thought about some questions.
For example, how did the people spend their time when the world he was once familiar with was overturned?
He didn't think much about it before.
But now Higashinohara seems to understand somewhat.
Isn’t it still like this?
For most ordinary people, there is no choice in life. The only choice is to continue to accept it.
In the morning, Higashinohara didn't go out anymore. He had been improving the three-sword style sword type he had just acquired through the "Intracranial Training" in the "Guilty Manual".
At present, he has gradually mastered the "Purgatory Ghost Slash", "Aolan Tree. Unstoppable Wind" and "Black Wind. Six Paths of Tsuji". He has not yet mastered the most powerful fourth form "Canglong Waterfall. Flowing Water".
As for the secret meaning "Spiral. Birds flying across the world", based on his previous experience in learning the eighth-level sword style, he did not need to think about upgrading the subsequent proficiency until the basic sword style of the four-style three-sword style was upgraded to the intermediate level.
At noon, when it was almost time to eat, Charlie, who got off work on time, ran over very consciously with a bowl of rice, a bowl of rice, and chopsticks, and smiled shyly at Higashinohara.
This stubborn guy, who had always been a bit stubborn, got smart for once and realized that that unscrupulous uncle Aragaki Satoru disliked her eating too much and often deducted food from her.
So she simply gave up "work meals" as a retreat. When Aragaki Satoru was overjoyed, she suddenly imitated Higashinohara and asked for "meal supplements", which immediately made the unscrupulous uncle's mouth twitch.
After taking the meal supplement, Xia Li handed it to the somewhat helpless Kolodya with her hands, almost in the posture of sitting down, and entrusted her three meals a day to Kolodya like a handover of national territorial sovereignty.
That's how the scene happened at noon.
Higashinohara didn't feel anything about this.
Anyway, with Charlie joining the party, Kolodya's passion for cooking seems to have increased even more, and he can also join in the tooth ceremony.
What we ate today was "Enma Sukiyaki", a new type of sukiyaki that Kolodya learned online.
The pot of red soup in front of me is actually similar to the hot pot Higashinohara had in his previous life, except that the Wano people in this world don't like spicy food very much, so they gave it a very abstract name: "Enma Sukiyaki".
The four of them sat in a circle on the small square table on the tatami, sizzling and eating.
Charlie's face was flushed with heat, her toes in her white pantyhose were clasped tightly, and the pair of furry silver ears on her head stood straight up like a pair of cocks.
Next to them, Nishimaru Miria and Clodia were almost the same. They were almost moved to tears, but seeing Higashinohara's calm and relaxed appearance, she couldn't help but start eating in small bites, and then she also filled the room like Charlie.
The child started to "hiss, hiss, hiss".
Halfway through the meal, Charlie answered the phone and muttered "hmm" twice.
After hanging up the phone, she counted the meat slices in the sukiyaki pot, glanced warily at Higashinohara, her biggest rival at the table today, and said, "I have something to do, I'll be back soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed downstairs, screaming all the way.
"What are you doing, Sister Xia Li?" Nishimaru Miria asked curiously.
"Who knows?" Higashinohara shrugged.
After a while, footsteps came from the corridor outside, one after the other.
When Xia Li came back in, Dong Ye originally thought that she would rush to the table like a hungry tiger, but he didn't expect that she would bring back an eight or nine-year-old boy.
The little boy has short blond hair and olive green eyes. He does not look like a person from Wano, but looks like a person from the Grand Duchy of Shayash like Colodia.
The little guy's eyes were red, and he kept raising his hand to wipe away his tears. In his other hand, he tightly held a small blue advertisement "Aragaki Detective Agency is at your service wholeheartedly" torn from a telephone pole on the roadside.
, he should have made the call according to the above method.
What's going on?
Higashinohara was stunned for a moment.
Charlie looked at the tearful eight or nine-year-old boy behind her with some sympathy, shook her head and said, "His sister disappeared from home."
"When did it happen?" Higashinohara asked.
"It's been almost five hours this morning." Charlie said.
"Uh, how old is his sister?"
"It seems to be eleven years old?"
It shouldn't be easy for such a big child to get lost, and why would he come here to find his sister alone?
No parents?
Charlie seemed to see Higashinohara's doubts. She glanced at the little boy with some sympathy and said in a lower voice, "He seemed to have said just now that he and his sister live in a nearby shelter."
Asylum?
A thoughtful look appeared on Higashinohara's face.
