The person who came to Kawakamiji was Günter von Goldberg, the illusionist who had been tricked into the organization by him a few years ago. He was also a well-known killer spider in Europe.
It seems that this guy has not given up on his goal of assassinating the gray-haired young man with illusions.
Not only was Kawakami well prepared, but he was also immune to the spider's illusions, so he naturally had the upper hand. Therefore, the blond man is now in an extremely embarrassed state.
Seeing that he seemed to be about to sink, Kawakami moved his white cane away slightly. After the spider climbed onto the edge of the boat, he violently shook the boat and pushed him into the water again.
“Cough cough cough cough—!
! "The spider choked several times.
"I've been waiting for you on the boat all afternoon, Gunter." Kawakami said calmly, "All afternoon, do you know how much lemon candy you wasted on me?"
In fact, the consumption of lemon candies has little to do with spiders, but Kawakami confidently placed the blame on him.
After almost calming down, the gray-haired young man finally let go of the illusionist who sneaked up on him.
He steered the boat, carefully keeping a distance from the spider, handed the other end of his white cane to the arthropod that was covered in water, and pulled him toward the shore.
After taking two steps up, Spider stopped with an ugly expression on his face. He found that the height of the water only reached his chest.
That is to say——
"You just struggled with loneliness."
Kawakami Tsumugi ate the last lemon candy,
"Don't worry, I won't let my colleagues die when I don't feel threatened. Tsk, I just didn't expect... In the end, you adopted such a perfunctory assassination method. I thought your illusion skills had improved."
I don't know which one of "no threat" or "perfunctory" made Spider angrier. The blond man stared at him fiercely and tried to refute, but he broke out into a series of earth-shattering coughs.
Kawakamiji silently reached out and patted the latter's back.
"You ruined my latest outfit, which was custom-made!" Spider said angrily.
……Fine.
It seems that Spider cares more about his new clothes than being devalued. The gray-haired young man was speechless for a moment. It was rare that he failed to guess the thoughts of the person he was observing.
"Although you attacked me first, I reluctantly paid for the clothes." Kawakami said, "So this is why you lingered, thinking that the lake water will stain your clothes?"
But according to his observation, it's not just about the clothes. Spiders seem to have an inexplicable repulsion towards water. After being kicked out of the boat by Kawakami Tsumugi, the blond man didn't look at the water for almost the entire process. This is why Kawakami Tsumugi has been able to suppress him.
"There is a quota for customizing clothes, ghost."
"Don't worry, the organization can get it." The gray-haired young man replied calmly.
Moreover, he could ask that gentleman for reimbursement, or even deduct a little from it himself... It is said that since the memory cleaning, Kashasha has not yet "awakened" his talent for deducting funds. It just so happens that the spider thing is a mediator.
Spider glanced at Kawakami Tsumugi, and after solving the matter of the ruined clothes, his face finally lightened up:
"I missed the assassination this time. But I prepared the illusion carefully."
It seems that he has been defeated for the time being, so the spider will not suddenly make another surprise attack in the next time. Since he could talk calmly, the gray-haired young man praised him pertinently:
"I know this. It seems that the lake water affects the performance. Mr. Günter, I believe that your illusion tour in country a will win a lot of applause... It is better to choose a different day. How about we chat?"
…………
The news that the illusionist Günter von Goldberg was coming to Country A for a tour had been known to Tsuji Kawakami for a long time. At the same time, Kashasha's transfer to Country A was not a secret among the Japanese action team. So spiders are bound to come and give him trouble.
In fact, it was not only trouble, Spider also handed the gray-haired young man an invitation letter with a proud face - an invitation letter to the illusion tour.
】
Half a month later, Kawakami estimated that Cointreau's matter would have been settled by then, so he did not refuse Spider's invitation.
"As far as I know, your illusion talent comes from four-color vision - so is water your weakness?" The gray-haired young man asked straight to the point, "Well, I'm just a little curious. It doesn't matter if it's not convenient to explain."
To a certain extent, this illusionist killer is very martial and has some inexplicable principles: For example, he insists on using illusions to assassinate him... Kawakami felt that if he asked directly, there would be a 60% chance of getting an answer.
As expected, the spider did not hesitate when faced with Kawakami Tsumugi's test:
"It's not a weakness, just a bit dazzling. In the eyes of ordinary people, water is colorless, but from the perspective of an illusionist, it is colorful, and the colors change every moment." [1 】
"So it's the same as the reflection of oil in the sun? It does sound like a disaster."
The gray-haired young man captured the key points in the description of the spider.
"I have another curious thing. If it is not just water, but some solution, will the colors you see be the same?"
"Of course it's different." The spider couldn't help but feel proud when talking about his talent. "In fact, the illusionist can distinguish thousands of solutions with the same color in ordinary people's eyes through the naked eye." For example, salt water, sucrose solution, sulfuric acid, etc.... …”
This is similar to what Kawakamiji thought.
He instantly switched to a sincere expression, which made Spider feel a little hairy and instinctively recalled how he was tricked by Kashasha in country F.
"Mr. Illusionist Günter, this is really an amazing ability! You must be the only one in the world who can solve my problem. Since you can distinguish different solutions with the naked eye, can you do me a favor?"
…………
Spider actually didn't want to help, but after being complimented by Kawakami Tsumugi, he couldn't help but start to get carried away. Shilihu Tuxia agreed to the gray-haired young man's request to go boating on Lake Michigan with him tomorrow.
Kawakami decided to make the first stop of his trip in Lake Michigan. In addition to wanting to literally experience the joy of fishing, he also focused on his mission.
When interrogating Poland Snow Tree, Poland Snow Tree told the gray-haired young man an extremely important piece of information:
While assisting Mojito in selling arms, he inadvertently saw several boxes in the inventory that he had never seen before.
At that time, Poland Xueshu thought it was some newly developed weapon, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He just stepped forward and took a rough look at it, without even unboxing it. At the same time, the Polish snow tree smelled a special smell.
Tsuyoshi Kawakami, who was proficient in pharmacology, instantly understood what kind of chemical substance Poland Snow Tree was describing.
Although he has not formally begun to analyze the drug that attracted the attention of the organization, based on experience. That chemical is definitely not used in that kind of medicine.
In other words, the factory that secretly produces the drug must also be producing the compound that the Polish snow tree smells of.
However, this compound is relatively popular. If we only rely on this screening, we can find three-digit factories in the entire C city. However, Kawakami still narrowed the scope based on this and found that the chemical industry zone with the highest probability was located near Lake Michigan.
The chemical industry zone involves an unavoidable problem: sewage discharge.
Although the environmental protection laws in City C are very strict, it can be seen from the chaotic and prosperous gangs in the South District that strict prohibitions cannot guarantee others' compliance - the things discharged into Lake Michigan by those factories are definitely not up to standard.
Therefore, Kawakami actually planned to further narrow the scope by observing the sewage discharge conditions of these factories... but the spider's four-color vision gave him new ideas.
Perhaps, they can visually inspect it.
