In an abandoned factory.
The chief taxman of Xiyuan Temple walked around twice and returned to the same place.
His face, which lacked color and had heavy dark circles under his eyes, was full of anxiety.
Not far from him, there were four people whose hands and feet were tied and their mouths were taped with large tape.
Akari Tsukimura, Onari Yamauchi, Shibuya the Eighth Prince, and Narita Kisarazu.
It was the victim who was reported missing by postman Onodera three days ago.
Opposite these four people, beside the chief tax officer of Xiyuan Temple, there was a man in purple sitting on the chair, looking at the glass of the warehouse in a daze, wondering what he was thinking.
At this moment, the chief taxman of Xiyuan Temple suddenly turned around, interrupting the man's tranquility.
"It's been three days!"
I saw the chief taxman of Xiyuan Temple questioning the man loudly.
"Just waiting here and doing nothing, can you really let me see that person?"
Hearing this, Swaruz came back to his senses, turned his head expressionlessly, and looked at the chief taxman of Xiyuan Temple.
With just one glance, the chief taxman of Xiyuan Temple felt as if his heart was being grasped by the person in front of him. A sudden sense of suffocation made him silence for an instant.
It was a look with murderous intent.
Fortunately, Swaruz's look only lasted for a short time and then he put it away.
He raised one corner of his mouth, smiled, and answered with certainty.
"certainly."
Swaruz told the chief taxman of Xiyuan Temple.
"Don't worry, you will definitely be able to meet 'that person' before the end of today."
After saying that, Swaruz stood up and left.
Seeing this, the chief taxman of Xiyuan Temple subconsciously asked him.
"Where are you going?"
"You don't need to know."
Swaruz said without looking back.
As soon as he finished speaking, the chief taxman of Xiyuan Temple saw Swaruz's body shaking twice like a phantom.
Disappear.
The main tax collector of Xiyuan Temple: "..."
…
at the same time.
Outside the factory gate.
As a gray scarf suddenly appeared and stopped spinning, two figures appeared there.
Tomonosuke looked a little confused.
And Woz is re-tying his scarf.
Tomari Shinosuke looked at the place in front of him, and the corners of his mouth suddenly couldn't help but twitch.
He was taken directly to his destination.
This made Tomari Shinosuke sigh.
"Your ability is so convenient."
"No, there are still restrictions. For example, long-distance movement is not allowed."
Woz explained modestly.
But despite this, Tomonosuke is still envious.
"That's great...but then again, how did you know I was coming here? Did Gates tell you?"
"No, that guy won't take the initiative to contact me."
Woz shook his head, then proudly opened the Demon Advent Calendar in his hand and said with a smile.
"According to what is recorded in this book, next, my Demon King will arrive at this place because of something..."
His eyes paused on the page for a moment, Woz closed the book with a snap, and looked at Tomarinosuke again.
"Okay, Mr. Bo, please don't pay attention to this little thing and go save people."
Woz smiled and made a "please" gesture.
But Tomari Shinosuke still didn't move.
He looked at Woz thoughtfully...
To be precise, he looked at the gray scarf around Woz's neck and said slowly:
"Well, actually, I have a plan about rescuing people..."
Woz: "..."
…
Inside the factory.
laugh--
The sound of a rusty door shaft turning suddenly rang out, waking the master of Xiyuan Temple from his daze.
He immediately looked towards the factory door.
I saw Tomonosuke slowly walking in from outside the door.
The chief priest of Xiyuan Temple subconsciously raised his hand and drew a mark on his chest.
He looked at Tomari Shinosuke with nervousness and fear on his face.
But as Tomarinosuke approached, he soon became angry and spoke out.
"Stop! You are not him! Who are you?"
Tomari Shinosuke was immediately confused by the question.
Crazy, what is all this?
However, the behavior of the chief tax collector of Xiyuan Temple is in line with his image at this time.
Pale face, thick dark circles under eyes.
When speaking, his expression was slightly crazy.
Well, like someone driven crazy by insomnia.
Therefore, Shinosuke Tomari stopped, raised the police card he had taken out in advance to show it to the chief tax officer of Saionji Temple, and said tentatively:
“Saionji, I’m the police.
"So, can you tell me, who are you waiting for?
"If you just want to find someone, I can help you."
Tomonosuke followed the words of the chief taxman of Saionji Temple and expressed his intention to help.
After all, it is absolutely not advisable to argue with a criminal about the other person's psychological problems at this time.
But immediately, Tomonosuke's words were interrupted by the chief taxman of Saionji Temple.
"Shut up!"
The chief taxman of Saionji Temple did not believe a word of the promise given by Tomono Shinnosuke.
He neither believed that Tomonosuke would help him find someone, nor that Tomonosuke could help him find someone.
The RB detective, who can't even deal with cases in the ordinary world, has the spare energy and ability to deal with the problems that occur in the abnormal world?
"You can't find it! Get out of here immediately!"
Hearing this, Tomonosuke glanced at the location of the hostages with his peripheral vision, and roughly determined the relative coordinates between himself, the hostages, and the criminals. He thought to himself, how could I leave in this situation?
In order to safely rescue the hostages, he must do more, and even attract the attention of the chief tax officer of Xiyuan Temple to himself!
But what about the method?
Tomonosuke's brain cells were spinning at high speed, and he had obviously started to shift into gear.
In my mind, pictures related to this case kept reappearing.
Then, the scene freezes.
"Connected."
The status of the main tax collector of Saionji Temple is connected with what Woz said.
"The brain cells are already on top gear!"
Tomari Shinosuke tightened his tie and loudly responded to the chief tax officer of Saionji Temple.
"No! My words can help you find the person..."
Tomari Shinosuke spoke in a deep voice.
"Find the one, the devil in your nightmares!"
Hearing this, the expression of the chief taxman of Saionji Temple froze, and then his attention was immediately glued to Tomarinosuke.
"You know...you know!"
The chief taxman of Saionji passed over the hostages, with a bit of nervous surprise on his face, and walked quickly towards Tomonosuke.
"Tell me, where is he? Where is he-!?"
Seeing this scene, Tomari Shinosuke smiled.
"Ah, he is right here..."
At this moment, Woz's figure suddenly appeared behind the chief tax officer of Xiyuan Temple and beside the hostages. Then, with the hostages' surprised expressions, he used a scarf to wrap them into the transfer space.
At the same time, Tomari Shinosuke also said the second half of the sentence.
"...behind you!"
Upon hearing this, the chief tax officer of Xiyuan Temple immediately turned around.
However, what appeared before his eyes was the scene of Woz pulling back his scarf, rolling himself up and disappearing.
"???"
This made the chief taxman of Xiyuan Temple suddenly couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishment.
But before he could ask anything, he heard the sound of a pistol safety being turned on behind him.
"Saionji Temple!"
Tomari Shinosuke pointed his gun at the chief taxman of Saionji Temple and said in a deep voice.
"I am now arresting you on suspicion of kidnapping and imprisonment. Please cooperate, otherwise, I will take coercive measures!"
However, in the face of Tomarinosuke's warning call, the chief taxman of Saionji Temple did not react at all as if he was threatened.
He just turned around slowly and looked at Tomarinosuke with stern eyes.
"you lied to me……"
Whispering in a low voice, bulging black and red blood vessels suddenly appeared on the body surface of the chief priest of Xiyuan Temple, spreading along the neck and towards the face.
"you lied to me--!!!"
With angry shouts, the chief taxman of Saionji Temple attacked Tomari Shinnosuke.
This unusual scene immediately set alarm bells ringing in Tomarinosuke's heart.
He immediately dodged and at the same time shot the chief taxman of Saionji Temple in the thigh.
boom!
Gunshots rang out.
However, the chief priest of Saionji Temple only trembled his legs slightly, turned around, and swatted away the pistol in Shinnosuke Tomari's hand with his hand.
Then he clenched his fist and hit Tomarinosuke's head at extremely fast speed.
"Oops!"
This unexpected scene, coupled with the speed of the chief taxman of Saionji Temple, which was faster than ordinary people, put Tomari Nosuke in an extremely dangerous situation.
It was too late to escape...
And at this critical moment, the action of the chief tax collector of Xiyuan Temple suddenly stopped.
Da da da--!
Accompanied by the illusory sound of clock hands moving.
The white dress is swaying and the long hair is floating.
Tsukuyomi walked in from outside the factory.
The high heels hit the ground, making a crisp sound.
As she moved around, she put down her right hand that had stopped when she was performing it.
Immediately, a bright red teleportation magic circle appeared next to Tsukuyomi.
Tokiwa Shougo, who had just returned from the past, finally arrived belatedly.
