It's only early February now, it's already getting close to dusk around 5pm, and the sunset is hanging on the horizon.
In Setagaya District, Ryusuke walked out of a high-end villa and scratched his hair in annoyance.
In the morning, Officer Suita contacted him and told him that the matter he had asked for had some results.
Since the Tsugami family was a traditional wealthy family, Sugada Morichi quickly found the real address of Tsugami Shoichi.
But for the international student Wang Shen, it was only concluded that he disappeared after applying for a visa a month ago. There was no record of his situation and no other follow-up clues.
Lao Wang couldn't be found, and Ryusuke didn't have much to do about it. He tried using Pegasus' ability to search, but Pegasus' abilities had many limitations, and it was impossible to explore the entire Tokyo in a short time.
That special quantum ability also didn't work. It was as if it was blocked and could not sense any information from Lao Wang. The investigation was temporarily in trouble, so Higashino Ryusuke had to go to Tsugami's house first.
This matter is also important.
Xue Lai and Professor Feng Gu did not die as in the original plot, but disappeared. This shows that the course of the world has changed because of him, so he also wants to find out what happened in the two years since he and Wu Dai left. What.
If the real Tsugami Shoichi is still there, that must be a crucial way to learn the truth.
But when Higashino Ryusuke came to Tsugami's house, he was told by the housekeeper that the owner of the household had gone out temporarily, and it seemed that there was something particularly urgent.
He waited in the living room until the afternoon and did not wait for the owner to come back. Instead, he found a painting in the living room:
The painting around the picture is completely dark, except for a pure white hexagonal pattern painted in the center, as if trying to break away from the darkness.
That pattern is very similar to the overlapping horns on Yajituo's head spread out. Perhaps there is another simpler name for it - Yajituo coat of arms!
Higashino Ryusuke was even more sure that the real Tsugami Shoichi was related to the whole thing.
As for why he suddenly went out before he came... Dongye suddenly couldn't help but think of the voice asking him that he vaguely heard in his ears this morning.
Who are you?
Although the voice disappeared after that, and the special mental oppression also disappeared without a trace, but that feeling...
His hands and feet felt a little cold for no reason.
Counting the time, the power of darkness has probably revived.
…
polepole this side.
Feng Guzhenyu and Xiangyi sat in the store for a while before going back.
Zhenyu seemed a little confused because he learned about unknown and Yajituo, but with Xiangyi's guidance, he was only temporarily lost.
When they returned to Meishan's house, Hikawa Makoto had already left. Professor Meishan Yoshihiko was sitting in the study with a solemn expression, flipping through a notebook in his hand.
Taiyi, a beautiful girl, was also out of school at this time, but he was uncharacteristically obediently doing his homework in the living room, looking like he didn't dare to show off.
"Uncle, we are back!"
When Manu and Shoichi entered the house noisily, Taichi quickly winked at them.
But it's too late.
Professor Meishan, who was sitting in the study, stared and turned to the living room with a "kind" smile on his face.
"You're back? It's good that you're back."
Although she was not in a good mood, she always showed a lively side when she was at Meishan's house. She took off the scarf around her neck and asked with a smile: "By the way, Uncle, has Officer Hikawa left? What are you talking about?" How's the superpower thing going?"
When he heard the word "superpower", Taiyi next to him gestured wildly with desperate eyes.
"Super power...!" Professor Meishan's smile suddenly stiffened, and he asked kindly with this sly expression on his face.
"Zhenyu, have you retrieved the things you left behind at school? Why have you been away for so long? Oh, and also, your school's latest test results are out, right? Why don't you take them out and let me know..."
With a series of death questions on his face, Zhenyu suddenly felt his hands and feet feel cold, "Ha...haha, uncle, why did you suddenly mention this..."
"Huh? Don't you want to show it to me?"
"I'll go find..." Zhenyu hurriedly ran upstairs to his room.
In a serious atmosphere, Xiangyi secretly sat next to Taichi and asked in a low voice: "Taiyi, what happened? Why is the teacher so scary all of a sudden?"
Ranwen
"I don't know? When I came back, I just said, 'Spider-Man's super powers are so great, I want a Spider-Man doll.' Then my dad would check my test scores and make me do my homework..."
"Ahem! Taiyi, study hard and don't desert!" A stern scolding came from the study.
"yes!"
Taichi Meishan hurriedly immersed himself in studying, and Xiangyi quickly stood up and walked around pretending to be nothing.
When I passed the door of the study room, I happened to look into Professor Meishan's eyes.
Professor Meishan was still trying his best to smile. After seeing Xiang Yi, he stretched his facial muscles harder and the wrinkles on his face became deeper.
"Shoichi, don't you have anything to do?"
"Um...I'll make tea!" Xiang Yiqian smiled and quickly turned around and ran to the kitchen.
After the room became quiet again, Yoshihiko Meishan once again turned his eyes to the notebook in his hand. It was an experiment record, and on the opened page, the experiment time was written as January 29, 2001.
"...On the 29th, it rained heavily. Xue Lai's ability has become so powerful that it's unbelievable that humans can do this - they can even break steel bars with telekinesis from a distance, but it seems to be getting harder and harder to control...
...According to Xue Lai's description, she seemed to have seen an earth-shattering war between two forces in the extremely long past...
...Is the massacre of No. 0 really unstoppable? If Xue Lai could become as strong as that... But if Xue Lai's abilities were completely released, would she still be her? Maybe Meishan is right. I shouldn't take such risks, let alone impose such risks on my students...
Feng Gu extended his luck and recorded it. "
This is the last entry in this notebook, and there is a blank after that.
Touching the writing on the note, Professor Meishan took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows with his other hand.
Superpowers, it would be great if such things never existed.
When the police officer named Makoto Hikawa brought the so-called evidence in the morning, Professor Meishan already had a bad premonition.
Although he tried his best to prove that the photo and the bottle were only things that modern technology could do, he knew better than anyone else that superpowers were real. I just really, really don’t want to admit it.
"Super powers... Brother Shinyuki, if I had decided to stop all this earlier, wouldn't what happened later happen..."
