Jiang Xia lowered his head and glanced at his hand that had just snapped his fingers.
The bomb was assembled by arsonists.
The fuse was pulled by an arsonist.
And he just happened to be passing by, and happened to try out a new skill nearby.
...If the arsonist had not pulled the fuse and he had snapped his fingers until the handle was worn, the explosion would not have occurred... In short, what does all this have to do with him, a passing psychic.
——Jiang Xia skillfully anesthetized his conscience.
Then he looked at the two charred corpses by the river, trying to see if the shikigami had the same idea as him.
Monsters really don't appear that easily.
The arsonist's body was motionless - no ghost fetus emerged, no shikigami was generated, and it looked exactly like a suicide.
And in Nagai Tatsuya, who was taken as a hostage, a new shikigami gradually emerged.
Shikigami paused on the spot in confusion for a moment, then slowly drifted towards the arsonist's body and laid his hands on the body's calf.
After scratching for a few seconds, it seemed that the touch felt wrong. It slowly raised a corner and looked up.
After a while, it was discovered that the arsonist's vital signs had completely disappeared, and the Shikigami's obsession with revenge also dissipated. It relaxed and floated away in the wind like a piece of paper.
Unfortunately, before he could float to the distance of freedom, he was blocked by a mermaid ghost and hugged him.
With this handful of mermaids, more than one shikigami can be caught.
She caught four.
——In addition to the shikigami the hostages turned into, there were two old shikigami hanging on the hostage's legs, and one on the arsonist's leg. When they died, the shikigami fell off.
The murderous aura in the hostages and arsonists also fell off and drifted away with the death of their masters.
The mermaid hugged the ghost, unable to free her hands to catch more things. She tried to raise her tail, but failed to catch the murderous aura that passed by.
Miss Spider behind her rolled up her sleeves and watched for a moment, then spread out her eight pointed legs from behind, accurately poking at the murderous spirit passing by.
Then she had a murderous aura on her side, like two light black veils, and gracefully floated back to Jiang Xia.
Unlike the ghosts who had a good harvest, the crowd watching was very panicked at this time.
The explosion that occurred at close range caused the crowd to rush and flee in panic.
In the chaotic flow of people, Nishitani Saori stared blankly at the place where the fire was rising. The scene of the stalker being swallowed up by the explosion was replayed in her mind. She felt as if a huge pie had hit her head, and her expression was blank.
After staying for two or three seconds, her expression suddenly distorted, revealing whether she was crying or laughing. There were big tears brewing in her eyes. But before the suppressed emotions could burst out, the person who fled in chaos accidentally fell on her
Upon impact, Nishitani Saori let out a soft scream and stumbled backwards.
However, before the stampede accident occurred, a hand reached out from the side and held her firmly.
Nishitani Saki subconsciously held the good Samaritan's arm and stumbled to her feet.
She raised her head in shock and saw that the person supporting her was a strange young man.
The good-hearted man looks to be in his early twenties, wearing a black casual suit, no tie, and the collar casually open. His hair seems to be naturally curly, slightly fluffy, but not messy, and there is a pair of lighter-colored hair on the bridge of his nose.
sunglasses.
The two sides looked at each other, and the handsome man in black nodded slightly to her. At the same time, he naturally raised a hand and touched her side lightly. It looked like he was brushing away the dust, but also like touching her.
Take off something that is stuck on your clothes.
Before Nishitani Saori could recover, the other party had finished the action.
Then he took back his hand and asked politely: "Can you stand still?"
During the wasted time, many people had already run away from this dangerous explosion area. Nishitani Saki was now standing firmly, which was obviously a question she knew well.
However, it is not difficult to understand the intention of the man in black in asking this question.
—— Nishitani Saki came back to her senses and let go of the hand that was tightly holding the other person's arm to stabilize her body: "Sorry... um, thank you just now."
Jiang Xia glanced at the fresh murderous aura he had just picked from her body, and nodded to her in a friendly manner.
Then he blended in with the crowd and left, heading towards the guard hut where he came from.
——The guard did not return to his hut. Perhaps out of fear, he reflexively ran towards the sunset with most of the people.
Jiang Xia then drove the new puppet, pushed the door in skillfully, and returned to the cabinet. Exiting here would be the least likely to be seen by people with normal views.
The moment the puppets were dismissed, the door of the guard room was pushed open.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar voice sounded at the door, with a hint of uncertainty and disbelief in the voice: "Matsuda?!"
...It's Officer Sato's voice.
After coming to this conclusion, Jiang Xia silently tripled the speed of disbanding the puppets.
The puppet quickly collapsed into a large piece of shikigami and disappeared silently.
…
Matsuda Jinpei used to be a bomb disposal expert in the mobile unit of the National Guard.
Seven years ago, after his friend Hagiwara Kenji died, Matsuda Jinpei insisted on reassignment in order to find the prisoner.
But his superiors also knew what he was thinking and were worried that he would be impulsive and get into trouble. It was not until three years ago that Jinpei Matsuda was transferred to the Major Crime Team of the Investigation Section 1. After that, Jinpei Matsuda was taken over by Miwako Sato for seven days as a "newbie"
.
In the first six days of working together, the young police officer Sato was so angry that he was so angry at his unorganized and undisciplined colleague.
On the seventh day, the mysterious bomber suddenly took action - he sent a fax to the Metropolitan Police Department, marking the location "No. 72, Cupido Shopping Mall Ferris Wheel" in code.
Matsuda Jinpei was invited, and in order to get more clues about the criminals, he quickly rushed forward. He was good at dismantling since he was a child, and later accumulated a lot of experience in bomb disposal. Dealing with the bomb mounted on the Ferris wheel was a piece of cake.
However, the prisoners did not respect martial ethics, and the competition was not about bomb disposal skills - the Ferris wheel containing Matsuda Jinpei in Car 72 was forced to stop in mid-air. After activating the mercury rod, the display screen of the bomb in the car showed the prisoner's advance warning.
The message he left behind was that he wanted to "play a game with the brave police officers."
——Three seconds before the bomb on the Ferris wheel explodes, a string of text will be displayed on the screen.
The bomber had installed a heavy bomb in a crowded place in advance. The bomb screen in the Ferris wheel showed the location of the huge bomb.
Under this situation, if Matsuda Jinpei continues to defuse bombs and cuts off the power supply, the display screen will lose its function and the police will not be able to know where the other bomb is hidden. This may lead to the death of countless citizens.
But if he wanted to see the text on the display screen, Matsuda Jinpei had no choice but to give up on defusing the bomb and wait to be blown up.
——The bomber wants to read the script of "the police ignore the safety of the people in order to protect themselves", and then publicize it and take revenge on the police.
