Looking at the anonymous letter in front of him, Tokiwa Shogo couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
"Who could it be?" he murmured in a low voice.
The first thing that Tokiwa Shougo thought of was the intelligence agent who called himself "Historical Recorder" that he came into contact with recently when he was investigating a certain person.
But he immediately shook his head and denied this guess.
No, not like that.
That letter didn't even use the most basic honorifics, and it didn't look like a historical recorder at all.
Moreover, the historian does not need to send him any anonymous letter informing him of the danger. There is a more secret communication channel between them.
If not the recorder of history, then who could it be?
Let’s first assume that the information written in the anonymous letter is true, and then push forward based on this.
first,
It is possible to know the specific action time of such a cult's secret revenge plan, but it is inconvenient to tell his true identity. From this, it is speculated that the sender is likely to be someone from the cult.
Because Tokiwa Shougo has reason to believe that after his previous "blitz operation of pretending to be a cult member to obtain information", the cult's top leaders will understand the importance of confidentiality as long as they are not stupid.
Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, before this revenge operation is successful, they will only limit the news to a small circle.
for example,
They believe that those...gods who will never betray the sect.
In other words, the person who sent this anonymous letter to Tokiwa Shougo may not only be a person who has joined the cult for many years, but may also be a weirdo who has gained extraordinary power.
Of course, we don't rule out the possibility that the anonymous letter was a trap.
But after being prepared to step into the trap, Tokiwa Shougo felt that there was no harm in trying to believe in the light of the human soul.
So, if there really is such a weirdo who turns from darkness to light, what was the opportunity for that weirdo to make such a change?
Tokiwa Shougo actually had a guess in his mind.
After all, the timing of this anonymous letter was perfect.
Yesterday, the Metropolitan Police made an educational promotional video promoting the 12 cults as evil monsters who are destined to be defeated by heroes. "Kamen Rider Zi-O" was just broadcast on the TV station. Today someone sent me a message to report the cult's revenge actions. Anonymous letter, no wonder Tokiwa Shogo couldn't help but connect the two.
With this in mind, Tokiwa Shougo called over Kinoshita Yu who had been quite free recently, and spoke to her seriously.
"Senior sister, now, I have a very important task for you to do!"
It was impossible for Tokiwa Shougo to let the Ministry of National Security mobilize all the troops to investigate because of a conclusion he had deduced using several what-ifs. Therefore, it became the most dangerous task to hand over this low-risk task to a school girl, his own soldier. Preferred.
With this thought in mind, Tokiwa Shougo began to make up a story for Kinoshita Yu based on the clues and speculations he had.
"Gene Era"
"Once upon a time, there was a kind-hearted man who was gentle, honest, helpful, and had a very cute child."
The "Kamen Rider Zi-O" short film, which uses the "fictional" cover of special photography to announce the police's attitude to insiders, is a work by Zi Gong. Therefore, the cultists who were the first to know about this work may have children. Sex is great.
And for a person who wants to leave a cult because he doesn’t want to be the last straw of being hated by his children, it’s not too much to praise him for his good nature.
As for whether the sender is male, Tokiwa Shougo can only say that based on the sender's written language, it is very likely that he is a man.
As we all know, in Neon, the difference in words used by men and women goes beyond just claiming to be different.
“But one day, unexpectedly, his child contracted a disease that is difficult to treat with current medical technology.
“Just when the man was in despair, the seductive whisper of the cult sounded in the man’s ears.
"They grabbed the man's hand asking for help and pulled him step by step towards the dark abyss."
There is always a reason why a kind person will fall. Now that he can want to return to the light because of his child, he could also fall into darkness because of his child.
"But the goodness deep inside a man never goes away."
If you don't accumulate small steps, you can't reach a thousand miles. If he hadn't always had kind thoughts in his heart, given another hundred years, he wouldn't have thought of abandoning the dark side and turning to the bright side.
"There is only one reason for a man to pursue power, and that is to save his child.
“But when the man finally gained extraordinary power, he discovered that the only way to save his son was to turn his son into a weirdo.
"However, when the man told the child the matter in order to persuade him, the child said to the man... Dad, if the price of living is that I have to take the initiative to become an evil weirdo, then I choose to die as a human being.
“The already precocious child, during the time when his father was absent and fighting the illness, placed his spirit on the hero who expounded justice, so he made such a choice.
"But the child did not immediately hate his father. Instead, he persuaded his father... to become a hero. Dad, since you have obtained the power of a weirdo, use it for justice, just like, fake Like the Face Knight."
"Just like that, the father, who didn't want to be hated by his children, sent me a letter of complaint."
Saying this, Tokiwa Shogo tapped the anonymous letter he placed on the table, but ignored Kinoshita Yu's curious eyes and had no intention of giving her a look, and continued to speak solemnly.
"Senior sister, this letter is his hand extending to us for help."
Tokiwa Shogo picked up the folded letter paper with his backhand and moved Kinoshita Yu's eyes up and down like a cat teaser.
"Anyway, let's investigate this general situation. As for whether we can hold his extended hand in the end..."
Tokiwa Shougo put the letter in his pocket and snapped his fingers to bring Kinoshita Yu back to his senses.
"It's up to you, junior!"
"Oh...huh? Wait!"
Kinoshita Yu felt lost for a moment, nodded blankly, and then reacted belatedly.
"What do you mean by a 'rough situation'? Could it be that the story you just told, senior, was made up now?"
"What are you talking about, junior?"
To this, Tokiwa Shogo said with an expression of "You misunderstood me."
"I am obviously telling you in a vivid way the clues I have obtained and the direction I suggest you investigate."
Kinoshita Yu looked at Tokiwa Shogo with doubt, but in the end he chose to believe it.
But she then asked:
"Please tell the truth, senior, what exactly do you want to do with that person?"
Tokiwa Shougo put away his expression and said seriously:
"Depending on the crime he committed and his repentant attitude, he may be sentenced to death, imprisoned, or put into zero class and spend the rest of his life repaying the crimes he has committed."
As mentioned above, Tokiwa Shougo is willing to believe in the light of human souls.
Therefore, in order to give those who are willing to repent a reason to make a new choice and break away from darkness, and to increase the Ministry of National Security's combat effectiveness in suppressing cults, Tokiwa Shougo is willing to give them a chance.
…
Shortly after Kinoshita Yu left with the mission, Kakogawa Toiryu knocked on the door and walked into Tokiwa Shogo's office.
As soon as he arrived, he brought bad news to Tokiwa Shougo.
"Zhuanggo, I'm afraid I won't be able to be on call all the time in the next few days."
Kakogawa Feiryu's solemn expression and his words made Tokiwa Shogo guess the reason.
"Is it...residue?"
"Yes, and it is a very frequent erosion of the world by residues." Kakogawa Feiryu nodded and replied, "I estimate that this situation will continue for two days, and then two days later, an unprecedented event will begin. High intensity and massive erosion!”
Two days later, major erosion...
"Ah."
Tokiwa Shougo muttered these two keywords in a low voice and suddenly smiled.
"Is that really true? They really didn't give me any surprises at all."
"?"
Facing Kakogawa Feiryu's confused gaze, Tokiwa Shougo did not directly explain. Instead, he took out the anonymous letter from his pocket and handed it to Kakogawa Feiryu.
Kakogawa Feiryu took a look at the letter and his expression changed immediately.
"Those despicable bastards!"
He cursed angrily and then assured Tokiwa Shougo.
"Zhuang Wu, don't worry, I will protect your safety as my top priority..."
But when he heard what Kakogawa Hiryu said, Tokiwa Shogo, who didn't show the slightest anger even when he learned that the cult was planning to kill his whole family, immediately interrupted him angrily and loudly.
"No! If you really respect me, then you must put protecting this world as your top priority!"
Tokiwa Shogo frowned and looked at Kakogawa Hiryu, whose expression suddenly froze, and said in a deep voice.
"Before the alarm of the residue corroding the world is over, you must stick to the front line of protecting the world. No matter who dies, you cannot withdraw. This is an order!"
