In the next few days, I lived a life of three o'clock and one line of work.
Every morning, I sit up from sleepiness accompanied by bursts of birdsong, and then rush to the detective agency.
Before I could warm my seat, Dazai Osamu and Nakajima Atsushi would happily pull me to the mysterious grove for some passionate training.
Then, if there is a commission and there happens to be insufficient manpower. I have to rush back to the detective agency to pick up the commission and complete the mission.
Just struggling like this day after day, although I am exhausted every day and miserable. But I have to admit that the muscles on my body have begun to increase, and my ability to control supernatural powers has become stronger and stronger.
I am no longer the bean sprouts I was in the beginning.
The days passed by so slowly. Except that the person behind the restaurant explosion has not yet been found, everything seemed so relaxed and calm.
But I never expected that this peace would be so fragile.
Another training session ended and I walked slowly on the way home.
At this time, the phone rang suddenly, which made my heart sink.
It's over, I'm afraid it won't be another commission, I thought.
"Moxi Moxi..." I answered the phone feebly.
"Si Ye, there is a robber threatening a lady across from Sabi Flower Shop in XC District. Go and deal with it." On the opposite side, Kunikida's methodical voice came.
"Got it." I replied.
Having said that, this is my first time accepting this kind of commission. Does this mean that the detective agency has begun to recognize my ability? I feel a little excited.
Just walking to the XC area, I originally planned to ask for the specific location of Sabi Flower Shop. But when I saw the crowds of people rushing in one direction, I suddenly felt that there was no need to bother.
I tried to get closer, but found that the crowd density was quite large, and it was impossible for me to get close to the robbers.
I looked around and found a street lamp not far away.
This was a good time to formally test the results of the past few days of training. I took a run-up, then pushed hard on the ground, and climbed to the top of the street lamp in twos and twos.
I just took advantage of the situation and hung there.
The passers-by were busy worrying about the robbers and victims in the inner circle, and did not notice me jumping up and down.
My eyes scanned the ground, mentally plotting my next plan.
The robber was holding a knife to the woman's throat, looking nervous, and glancing at the black bag beside him from time to time.
The zipper of the pocket was slightly opened, and it was probably full of banknotes.
If I jump down here, take advantage of the kidnapper's unpreparedness, use my powers to age the knife, and then kick him down, it should be fine, I think.
After probably thinking about it for a while, I jumped down.
Everything is fine and going according to plan. When the people around me saw that there was a fight, they all fled the scene, leaving me some peace and quiet.
The kidnapper was kicked to the ground by me and couldn't get up for a while. I reached out to the lady and tried to help her up.
I feel a little strange when things develop to this point. During the entire fight, the woman kept kneeling on the ground with her head lowered and did not even utter a scream.
She must be scared out of her wits, I thought as I leaned down to look at her.
However, the moment I lowered my head, I suddenly felt a murderous aura coming in front of me.
I quickly stepped back, but there was still a scratch on the bridge of my nose.
"The new member of the detective agency is still young." The lady stood up unsteadily, but her voice was extremely rough.
"Who are you?" I asked sharply.
"Since you asked the question sincerely, I will tell you sincerely. I am, Kajii Motojiro!"
Kajii Motojiro suddenly pulled off his sky blue trench coat, revealing his original clothes: a watermelon head, a lab coat and pants with the cuffs blown to pieces, and a matcha-colored scarf.
To be honest, I'm not too panicked at this point. After all, if you injure me, why don't I just turn back my time?
Anyway, as long as the backward time is within my ability, there will be no problem.
"Boy, you will be honored to be part of my new project." Kajii Motojiro said excitedly and pressed the button on the remote control.
Suddenly, there was a violent explosion from the black bag.
I was busy holding the dial close to my chest, constantly rewinding my time.
But what I didn't expect was that this bomb was much more than that.
There were more and more scars on my body that had no time to recover. Finally, my head gradually became dizzy and I was exhausted, so I simply knelt on the ground on one knee.
Here, I noticed a very important point: the surrounding houses did not collapse due to the violent explosion, but remained intact, just like before.
Finally, the explosion stopped, but I was bleeding too much and had no strength to stand up.
"Hey, kid, do you want to live?" Kajii Motojiro came over and kicked me to the ground. "Tell me where the detective agency hid our goods, and I will spare your life."
"Goods?" I asked doubtfully.
"Don't know? Then let me ask you one more thing. Who beat Zhongyuan Zhongya until he was on the verge of death?"
"What?" I felt even more incredible.
In Zhongyuan, life is in danger. I never thought that these two words could be connected together.
"Hey, it seems we have to meet again. It's a pity, I quite like you."
"Wait a minute, brother, how can you be sure that these things were done by the detective agency!" Seeing that Kajii Motojiro was about to take action, I said quickly.
"First, there is video. Second, we found this at the scene..." Kajii Motojiro took out a piece of paper from his pocket.
I can never mistake that piece of paper. It is a page from Kunikida's notebook. And the words "flash bomb" were written on it, using Kunikida's handwriting.
I had nothing to argue with now, and the buzzing in my head was getting louder because of the confusion in my thinking.
"Thanks to the help of kind-hearted people today, we established a barrier. Otherwise, other people from the detective agency would have discovered it." Kajii Motojiro took out several lemon bombs from his pocket and said excitedly.
Isn't this barrier from the Port Mafia? I was extremely surprised.
If you say that, I suddenly felt that I had committed a heinous crime by doubting the detective agency just now.
There was obviously a third party involved in this matter.
"I'm sorry," I said, holding my pocket watch to my chest and rewinding my time. "I don't want to die when you say that."
"Huh? Hahahahahahahaha..." However, Kajii Motojiro obviously didn't take my speech seriously. He was just confused for a moment and then laughed wildly.
While laughing, he threw countless lemon bombs at me.
At this time, my body has completely regressed back to its healthy state. I jumped up suddenly and ran away from Kajii Motojiro in an arc.
Finally I reached the edge of the barrier, and the dazzling golden circle on the ground seemed to warn me not to go any further.
Just when I hesitated, a lemon bomb flew towards me.
At the right time, I jumped away and let the lemon bomb fall to the edge of the barrier.
At this time, a shocking scene appeared.
The moment the lemon bomb landed on the edge of the barrier, it was absorbed by the barrier and kept emitting electric sparks. Finally, with a "bang" sound, the lemon bomb turned into smoke and disappeared.
"Hey, Kajii Motojiro, it seems that your 'allies' are not planning to let you out." I said proudly.
