Tokyo: Parasite

Chapter 344 114:514
"Mrs. Kawakami is in a very good mental state recently. She has stopped showing aggressive behavior and is very peaceful. Her favorite thing during the day is to sit in the garden or on the balcony to bask in the sun. Of course, she said she was looking at the sea."

In the Osaka Prefectural Psychiatric Hospital, Tatsuya Kawakami pushed a wheelchair while his sister Kazuha Kawakami sat on it, carefully writing down every word of the attending doctor.

"Then, Dr. Oshima, is there any possibility for my mother to recover?" Kawakami Kazuha asked the question carefully and seriously. He wanted to know the answer, but was afraid that the answer was not what he wanted.

As a doctor with extensive experience, Oshima has experience in speaking to the families of such patients.

"Although I can't make any guarantees for you, the patient's condition improving is usually a good sign. Mrs. Kawakami may need more company at this time. If your time is convenient, it's best to maintain a frequency of two visits a week. This will increase the patient's chances of recovery."

"Twice a week." Kawakami Heye pursed her lips.

It was already very hard for her brother to take care of a disabled person like her. Recently, because he got a good job, he could afford to hire a housekeeper. Before that, her brother was busy working every day and had to find time to cook for her. How could he have so much free time?

They live in Nara now because the rent there is somewhat cheaper, at least cheaper than living in Osaka.

"Thank you, Dr. Oshima. I will try my best to make time for this." It was unclear whether Tatsuya Kawakami's words were just a perfunctory response or the result of serious consideration.

Oshima nodded and pointed to a wooden bench in the garden, where a dazed figure sat. "Mrs. Kawakami is right there. I still have wards to check, so I won't bother you."

After saying this, Dr. Oshima left in a hurry.

Tatsuya Kawakami remained silent and slowly pushed his sister to his mother's side.

"Mom." He Ye leaned forward and grabbed his mother's hands with both hands. After shouting, he couldn't say anything and just sobbed softly.

Mrs. Kawakami looked at her children with some confusion in her eyes, but she did not push them away. Instead, she gently patted Kazuha's hand with her backhand.

"Are you also waiting for the fleet to return?"

"Uh yeah, mom."

Kawakami Kazuha remembers that when he was a child, he often sat on the balcony with his mother, watching the fleet returning home in the sunset, which meant that his father would almost be back.

Originally they were an ordinary family of four living on Iki Island.

My mother is a housewife and my father is the captain of a fishing boat for a fishing company.

Not long after graduating from high school, Kawakami Tatsuya joined the Maritime Self-Defense Force. Later, when the Iki Island incident occurred, Mrs. Kawakami escaped with Kawakami Kazuha, but his father stayed there forever.

After that, Mrs. Kawakami took Kawakami Kazuha back to her hometown, Nara City. Fortunately, they still had an old house, so they barely started a new life.

However, since the death of her husband, Mrs. Kawakami's mental state has become unstable.

At that time, supernatural disasters occurred frequently and people were in urgent need of spiritual comfort. Some Moon Initiators and even ordinary people, under the guise of various sects, slowly developed in some places where the power of special events was not so strong.

As a result, the unhealthy tendencies that had been suppressed by the Special Affairs Bureau began to grow again. This time, due to the shortage of manpower and the fact that many sects had colluded with the traditionalists, the Special Affairs Bureau mostly ignored them and focused on eliminating the endless stream of polluters and recruiting new members.

Now those sects became bolder, and many secret missionaries appeared in areas outside Tokyo.

Osaka, in particular, has always held resentment towards Tokyo because of the Flower of Evil incident that occurred there, and believes that it was Tokyo's incompetence that caused the outbreak of the Flower of Evil.

The models of various churches are actually similar to before. In this regard, Japan has many professionals, who are equivalent to returning to work and re-employed. They specifically target housewives who are in need or spiritually empty, and offer them comfort, play the emotional card, and say a few words like "I understand you" and "We have similar experiences".

Unfortunately, Mrs. Kawakami was noticed by a sect called Dokushin. After several deliberate attempts to make friends, as expected, she became a member of the sect.

This church advocates the idea of ​​"the world is one" which can make people transcend into saints. Those who have achieved great success can even revive the dead. Even those who have achieved small success can allow the souls of the dead to return from the underworld and use their own bodies as containers. With two souls in one body, it can be considered a kind of companionship.

Although it sounds ridiculous, they have experienced even more ridiculous realities.

However, there is a prerequisite for obtaining power, which is that you have to make "God" feel your "sincerity".

That is, "yenfen".

At first, the money was all based on one’s intention, but those who performed well could receive holy water.

Because the amount of the donation is not public, every newcomer will be praised for his or her outstanding performance during the first few donations and will be baptized with holy water.

I don’t know if the holy water is really effective or if it’s a placebo effect, but Mrs. Kawakami’s complexion is gradually getting better and she is sleeping better at night.

Unfortunately, after she paid the original amount, it was no longer her turn, so she became anxious and increasingly restless.

In particular, the priest announced that those who performed well in the next round would be able to receive the teachings of the leader, and would be guaranteed to achieve some small success and step into the threshold of transcendence.

Mrs. Kawakami, who had already believed in the truth, sold her house without telling her two children and emptied her family's savings in order to revive her husband.

By the time Tatsuya Kawakami learned the news and hurried home, it was already afterward.

Perhaps the Duxin Church had made enough money, so it just walked away, leaving behind a group of "believers" who had been cheated out of their life-saving money and were crying and wailing in the abandoned church center.

The police took them all back for questioning, saying that they would do their best to track down the case and recover the defrauded money. Then they put the case file in a thick stack of similar cases, and it was unknown when the case could be investigated.

Mrs. Kawakami could not bear the blow at that time and suffered a mental breakdown, a mental illness that came with violent tendencies.

Because of his tendency to hurt others, Tatsuya Kawakami immediately arranged for his mother to be hospitalized, then applied for retirement due to family circumstances, and took on the responsibility of this broken family again.

After my sister stopped crying, she talked about a lot of things, but my mother just listened quietly without any response. Her eyes were fixed on the front, which was a small pond in the hospital.

It was not until noon when the nurse came to call her for lunch that she stood up and walked towards the cafeteria.

The mental hospital here is not a fully enclosed one. Family members can stay with the patients most of the time when they visit. Aggressive patients are naturally isolated and their meals are delivered by nurses.

So the brother and sister ate their own meal with their mother, and then went to the pond to look at the water in the afternoon.

It was not until around three in the afternoon that Kawakami Kazuha, worried that it would be too late to go back, took the initiative to ask Kawakami Tatsuya to leave.

"Just stay in Osaka today. I've already booked a room so you can leave later. And I have something to do here too." Kawakami Tatsu didn't agree. He knew that his sister actually wanted to spend more time with their mother, even if it was just sitting together and not saying anything.

As she grew up, her father went out early and came back late, sometimes he would be away for several days in a row. Her brother usually didn't play with her and later joined the army. The person she was most attached to was only her mother.

It was her mother who pulled her out of the rubble, carried her on her back, dripping with blood, and walked step by step to the evacuation point, returning to Nara.

Although she made mistakes later, what right did He Ye have to criticize her?

"Mom, you will be fine." He Ye took his mother's hand, placed it on his cheek, and smiled reassuringly.

Tatsuya Kawakami stood aside, his hair that had not been taken care of for some time half covering his eyes. He watched the scene without saying a word, his clenched purple fists quietly placed behind his back.

at dusk.

The Kawakami siblings left anyway.

Because visiting hours have passed, family members are generally not allowed to stay with the child at night.

Kawakami Tatsuya took his sister to a restaurant for dinner and then checked into the hotel they had booked. "Go to sleep first. If you need anything, call me. If it's urgent, you can press this button for hotel service. If you need to go to the toilet, the prosthesis and crutches are under the bed," Kawakami Tatsuya reminded before leaving.

"Yeah, brother." Kawakami Kazuha lay on the bed with a satisfied smile that she might not even be aware of.

Tatsuya Kawakami also smiled, rubbed her head, and stood up to go out.

"Brother, brother." Kawakami Kazuha called out.

Tatsuya Kawakami turned around and looked at her.

"Be careful." Kawakami Kazuha seemed to have struggled for a long time before he whispered these words that sounded a little inexplicable.

Kawakami Tatsuya was startled, but quickly came to his senses and nodded: "I will."

late at night.

Inside a tower apartment.

A pretty housewife tremblingly put down her cell phone, hugged her young child tightly, and carefully looked at the extraordinary person in front of her who appeared out of nowhere.

That’s right, the other party is indeed extraordinary.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

So after the other party showed his extraordinary abilities, she immediately chose to obey. Following the other party's instructions, she made a private call and asked her husband, who was a police inspector in the Public Security Department of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, to bring back a batch of files within a specified range.

Even after her husband repeatedly stressed that it was impossible and that he couldn't bring her up, the woman in front of her didn't give in at all and just let him figure it out himself.

The woman did not act rashly, or perhaps she was overly cautious. Even when she wanted to go to the toilet, she held it in.

The little boy, about four or five years old, hugged his mother tightly, secretly looking at the legendary extraordinary person who was wrapped tightly with curious eyes, and listened to his mother's words without saying a word and making any noise.

Tatsuya Kawakami sat quietly on the sofa, playing with two marbles in his gloved hands, which are rarely seen among children nowadays.

Just now, the woman saw a marble shot out and, completely contrary to common sense, sank several centimeters into the wall. Then it slid out and fell to the ground without any damage. After bouncing a few times, it slowly rolled back to the other person's feet.

It was this move that completely extinguished her thoughts of resistance.

At the same time, she told her husband over the phone not to tell his colleagues.

Being in this class, they are afraid of losing everything, and they also understand how mixed the qualities of those extraordinary people are. Many times, it is not feasible to talk purely about interests and rationality. The extraordinary people in the opposition are more concerned about being content, emotional, and having clear thoughts.

So try your best to talk to the other party about benefits without angering them.

Fortunately, the person in front of him had a clear purpose. This kind of person would either kill all the witnesses after getting the thing, or they would not want the matter to get out of hand and would leave them a way out after getting the thing.

She prayed it was the latter.

After almost forty minutes of anxious waiting, the door finally opened.

The woman could see that the marble in the man's hand was pointing at her.

As long as there is more than one person entering the door, they will probably be ejected directly.

The door was half open, and a man in police uniform squeezed in holding a box, then closed the door neatly.

boom!
He quickly walked to the coffee table in front of Kawakami's sofa, looked at his wife and children, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was nothing wrong with them. He threw the box at his feet, opening it to reveal a bunch of folders.

"I don't know what your purpose is, but if I don't return these files, I won't be able to hide it from everyone anyway, so it will definitely be known. Next, I will be suspended and these files will be investigated in detail."

"But if I can return today, then everything will still be in time. I will pretend that my son suddenly has a fever tonight, so I will rush back to visit him. After spending some time with him, I will go back to work overtime because I have not finished my work yet."

"I'm not saying this to force you to make a choice. I'm simply explaining the objective situation to you. Even if you want to kill our entire family, it won't change anything."

"But if you are willing to join the Special Affairs Bureau, you have the right to ask us to cooperate with you in whatever you want to investigate. We can even reopen the investigation even if it is an ironclad case."

The man sat next to his wife, calmed down, wiped the sweat off his forehead, looked at Kawakami Tatsuya calmly, and said all the words he had prepared.

No matter whether this extraordinary person chooses one or two, the losses outweigh the gains for him. But if he can be persuaded to become a member of the Special Affairs Bureau, the situation will be very different. Even if today's events are completely exposed, he will still be a meritorious official.

Tatsuya Kawakami said nothing, but quietly opened the file and began to search.

Then find the time period you know according to the date number and look through them one by one.

Finally, he found the answer he wanted in the file with internal number 514.

But just like reading other files, he did not stop at all and continued to flip through them one by one, and finally finished reading them all quickly.

The man who was paying close attention didn't notice anything and guessed that the other party must be carrying a small camera.

The woman thought that the other party did not find the information he wanted, and she couldn't help but become nervous.

"I like that you didn't use any tracking agents." A hoarse voice came through the voice changer.

The beads of sweat that the man had just wiped off his forehead suddenly appeared again.

It was just that I was anxious before, but now I am completely sweating.

He did consider using tracking elements. This thing is colorless and odorless, and even many extraordinary people have been affected by it. It is not easy to avoid it unless there are special means or internal personnel.

But in the end he gave up, after all, there was no need to gamble.

He was really afraid of losing everything he had.

A position that was hard to get promoted, a child who has not yet grown up, and the daughter of his old boss who is his wife.

"I" He was so nervous that he couldn't even finish his words.

Kawakami Tatsuya ignored him and just walked to the balcony, flipped over, and disappeared into the more than ten-story tower apartment.

Half a minute later, they finally confirmed that the other party had left and they were safe.

"You must come with me to return these things. You cannot tell anyone about what happened today except your father. Do you understand?" The man looked at his wife and children seriously.

There was no way to hide it from his father-in-law, because he was borrowing this thing from his father-in-law because of a favor.

Such matters can be big or small, but as long as it is not weighed, less than half a pound, you will be fined three cups.

"Umm, wuwu." The woman hugged her husband and child tightly and cried heartily.

The family was thankful that they had survived the disaster.
