Shigurei walked out of the room and closed the door behind his back.
A tall man wearing a mask was waiting for him outside the door.
The masked man said in a strange voice: "You are so gentle, Shigure-boy."
The young man in a suit did not respond to this comment, he just stated his results.
"After deleting the memory, I asked similar questions again. I repeated this several times, and the answers I got were basically the same as the values detected by the machine. If you don't consider that there are stronger impermanent agents than me exerting influence, it should be considered that they have this effect. Nothing."
Just like everyday chatting, in the same tone as usual, he told the truth that would make someone sweat behind his back.
The conversation between the two in the room just now was not the first time.
Takizawa's fear, anger, mourning, and confession have all been repeated several times.
What to do is simple.
Erase the other person's memory after questioning.
Then, we walked into the room as if we were meeting for the first time. Change the way you ask questions, observe his reaction, and collect another batch of data for comparison to corroborate what you just said.
In order to ensure authenticity, in order to prevent the other party from exploring his intentions and thinking about lies during a long period of questioning, and in order to prevent him from collapsing prematurely under excessive pressure, keep repeating.
Takizawa Yoshihisa knew nothing about this, and every performance he performed was true.
However, even if the person involved has no subjective knowledge, in the eyes of others, the feelings brought by the same play performed again and again will fade away. When you witness the repetitive actions of a machine in reality, are you looking at a person who knows nothing, or a puppet manipulated by invisible threads?
No matter which direction you think about it, the answers you get will not be pleasant.
"Pull him down. Even if Chuangjie wants to cause trouble, he won't bother with Zayu. This way things will be simple!"
Fortunately, the man wearing the mask never cares about such trivial matters.
How others see it, how others think, for him, investing energy in these trivial matters is a waste of time, and thinking about what to eat for supper tonight is much more meaningful in comparison.
Shigure thought for a moment and asked: "About Gongsun's ability..."
Before the young man could finish speaking, the masked man interrupted his question with a sneer.
"It's none of my business? If you want to know, just ask him yourself. Let's go, get ready to resolve this matter tonight."
The tall man strode away, and Shigure Reiichi followed with a wry smile.
"The victory will be decided tonight?"
"Just today, just tonight, finish it early so I can go back to sleep."
"You sound tired."
"Nonsense. Two things were squeezed into one day, so I had to go to heaven early in the morning to talk to the emperor. It took most of the day just to go back and forth, and I didn't even get a nap! What a world."
The masked man cursed and walked away, and Shigure followed behind him, turning his complaints into deaf ears.
He walked outside, where a masked woman was waiting for the two of them.
The masked woman stretched out her hands, balanced on the toes of one foot, and bounced up and down by the flower bed: "Are you coming to work too?"
"This gentleman doesn't seem to want to give me a salary. It would be more appropriate to call it extracurricular practice."
"I should have. Speaking of which, how is my hourly wage calculated?"
The masked man yelled angrily: "You talk back to the boss, kick the boss on the back, and can't even defeat an idiot when fighting alone. Why do you have the nerve to ask for a salary?! Get out of here!"
"It's too much."
When Rei Shigure looked at the mask, he suddenly thought of the nickname given to him by his friend, and couldn't help laughing.
·
At 8:35 at night, outside the sewage treatment plant.
The less energetic superpower and the hunter who looked like he wanted to yawn walked out of the factory gate.
Both of them said nothing, looking straight ahead. The atmosphere was like children comparing who could blink first. This strange silence lasted for about half a minute, and then was broken by the hunter's voice.
"Ha~"
Alice rubbed her eyes tiredly and couldn't help but yawn.
"It seems that Miss Alice's physical strength is even weaker."
The bespectacled young man made a winner's declaration with a calm attitude.
"It's so noisy that I've been beating you since early in the morning... You don't even look in the mirror to see how you look now..."
"I have played three and a half games with high intensity in a short period of time and I still haven't collapsed. It can be said that I have extraordinary strength."
This is evidence of extensive combat experience.
He thinks he has some experience in power control. If it were superpowers who could only use their abilities blindly, I'm afraid they would be in urgent need of rest after this series.
"I think you can fight like this for another day."
"Even an Iron Man will get tired if he keeps fighting like this. If we defeat the last remaining 'leader', will this incident be completely over?"
Alice pulled up the map of Sky City on her phone.
"If everything goes well, it will be over. I sincerely hope that after defeating it, we can come to the common sense ending that 'in fact, everything is just a collective hallucination of dragon madmen, and there are no secrets.'"
"I understand. Although writing such a dream ending in a fictional work will make readers throw the book and curse, in real life this is probably a good ending worthy of celebration."
However, judging from the attitude of the imperial duo, the hunter's wish may not come true.
"I hope... Is it faster to take a car or a pigeon at this time?"
"It depends on where you want to go. If you want to take a car for a short to medium distance, if you want to cross more than one area, you should also take a pigeon or a parrot or some other bird. Do you have an idea?"
"Hmm..." the blue-haired woman closed her eyes and pondered, "I was also thinking about what Takizawa was doing before. In these battles, the action patterns of the dragon madmen confused me. You think, we are obviously chasing them. Bar?"
To hunt, to pursue, one party to find another. The hunter who has a hunting mission, the prey who needs to escape to save his life, this activity can only be established when both parties exist at the same time.
Thinking from the perspective of the prey, what should be done is...
"If it were just to escape pursuit, the dragon worshipers should move their positions immediately after being discovered. But in fact, the enemies we encountered all chose to fight. They were prepared in a battle field suitable for them, trying to Let's catch them all." The gray-haired young man sorted out his thoughts in his mind, "And what Miss Alice did this morning was..."
"I was chasing Dongcheng Joji in the early morning. Just before I met you, I was still chasing Tyrlos and Cockscomb Head." Alice reacted, "Yes, the priority has changed from fleeing to fighting. Their priority The pattern of action has changed!”
Can we draw a conclusion based on the current information? Tyros and the star named Kapulo have gone crazy, and it is unreasonable to speculate on their actions with ordinary people's thinking. As for Takizawa Yoshihisa, judging from the hunter's attitude, this seemingly normal long-haired man is actually more crazy than those two.
In fact, all the vicious magicians have gone crazy, and they are all acting due to auditory hallucinations or visual hallucinations in their heads - Gongsun Ce knows that having such thoughts is tantamount to admitting his own defeat. Madmen should not be viewed as mentally retarded, but as ordinary people who think according to another set of logic and act on the other side of common sense. From the perspective of a dragon worshiper, these two proactive battles are by no means meaningless.
The superpower recalled Takizawa Yoshihisa's words.
——Without the command of the leader, the most we can think of is this kind of idea.
——Even if I will definitely fail, I will fight. I will never let you get close to the leader.
"The dragon worshipers have a leader, who is the fifth person we have not found yet." Gongsun Ce pushed up his glasses, "The two people fighting us lost the command of the leader, and they decided to fight us on their own. why is that?"
Alice quickly replied: "The arrogant Tyros is trying to catch us all, and Takizawa is trying to delay our actions as much as possible to prevent us from getting close to the leader."
"That is to say, the leader holds the key to their operation. The second question is, when did the leader leave them?"
"The intelligence dealer said that the five of them entered the country today. At least they still maintained contact with each other when I chased Dongcheng Zhanger in the early morning...when they were still choosing to flee!"
The super-powered person raised his index finger: "That's it, Miss Alice. After losing the command of the leader, they chose to take the initiative. This is not in line with the psychology of a fugitive. Turn your thoughts around, and before you and I meet, we are in the city as if we are on the run. What are the scurrying dragon worshipers doing?"
"They split up either to escape or to find something. They are looking for a certain place, and that must be where the leader is!"
"About the time we were talking, the situation changed. The leader should have found the target location at that time. One person would be much more concealed than three people, so he separated from the remaining two people, and Tyros and Takizawa Yoshihisa provoked battles at different time periods to delay time and divert our attention.”
Gongsun Ce felt that his thoughts were getting smoother and smoother: "The last mystery, where is the leader now? I can't see their persistence in destroying this city. What they want is the arrival of the dragon. If that ritual, or The summons can be held anywhere, so there is absolutely no need to take the risk of breaking into the Sky City to summon. There must be some conditions that can only be met here. It is for this reason that Takizawa Yoshihisa allowed the bad beast to explore Sewer."
"The dissociated demonic body can quickly search the area on the ground... The corrupted water beasts can move freely in the underground waterways, so that they can quickly grasp the city's planning..."
Alice stared at the phone screen, wondering what she was thinking.
The young man noticed that the map of the Sky City was displayed on the screen.
"It took almost half a day from the Fierce Wing Area to the Thorn Area...the ground...the sewer..."
The hunter suddenly turned around: "I remember you said that there is no subway in the Sky City?"
