Tokyo: Parasite

Chapter 345 115: Hedwig

The police have very limited information.

In other words, once the investigation touches upon certain interests, it becomes difficult to continue the investigation with the police alone due to various concerns.

No one wants to commit suicide by being shot eighteen times in the back.

Moreover, such cases are indeed widespread and may be related to the supernatural, requiring the assistance of the Special Affairs Bureau. Both sides are overwhelmed with manpower, and unless they are freed up later, they can only be hastily put aside like the files now.

So until now, even though the huge monster has collapsed on the surface, in fact, there is still a force that cannot be ignored in its corners.

"Sumitomo Zaibatsu"

Tatsuya Kawakami is not from Osaka, but this does not affect his knowledge of the value of the name Sumitomo Zaibatsu.

Whether it is the big four or the six monopoly chaebols, they all have their place.

Even if this kind of chaebol falls, his corpse still retains amazing power. Even the Special Affairs Bureau cannot completely eliminate him in a short time, not to mention that he is just a member of the traditional faction. There are many large families like this.

And under its shadow, there are countless interests involved.

It wouldn't be surprising if it was related to a family like this.

The Sumitomo family definitely has enough strength to attract and recruit extraordinary people to work for them.

And those extraordinary people can also rely on the protection of the Sumitomo family to establish so-called churches, not necessarily for the sole purpose of making money, but may also be at the instruction of the Sumitomo family.

However, the problem now is that the Sumitomo family has been labeled as a corrupt traditionalist. A large number of family members have been arrested, and the rest have gone into hiding. Chaofan estimates that their family members will be scattered like this when the tree falls.

So where should we start?

In the alley, Tatsuya Kawakami destroyed the mini camera and threw it on the street corner where a lot of garbage was piled up.

"So, we still have to ask those people hiding in Nara?"

A group of extraordinary people poured into Nara City not long ago. He had met them. After learning that those extraordinary people were working for traditional families, he took care of two of them and asked them a lot of questions he wanted to know.

It was after things like this that he gradually grew bolder and dared to force a police captain to provide him with information.

Regardless of whether the Duxin Sect was instigated by the Sumitomo family or not, the leader of the sect probably won't live for many days, and he will never let go of the extraordinary person who once actually controlled the Duxin Sect.

We'll start by looking for the remnants of the traditional faction in Nara, and see who has any connection with the Dokshin Sect or the Sumitomo family, and then bring them out for questioning.

Perhaps the Special Affairs Bureau knows more, but he now instinctively resists and distrusts the official authorities. Even though they have a common enemy, in Kawakami Tatsu's eyes, the Special Affairs Bureau is not much better and is still colluding with the prime minister who comes from a traditional background.

And there are the so-called emperors, they are the biggest legacy!

He adjusted his flipping state and randomly fished in places where several gangsters gathered. Soon, he left with a thick stack of banknotes.

It turns out that it’s easy to make money by cheating other cheaters.

He was embarrassed to take the clean money, but after it was washed by the gangsters and dyed black, he felt clear conscience when he took it. He felt interesting and found himself quite hypocritical.

When they returned to the hotel, it was already early in the morning. The room he booked had a double bed, and He Ye was a light sleeper like her, but perhaps because she was tired today, Kawakami Tatsuya's return did not wake her up.

"I don't know if there is any superpower in the world that can regenerate severed limbs."

Tatsuya Kawakami indulged in some extravagant fantasies.

I pondered for a moment while showering in the hot water. The closest thing I could remember was that there was a divine sorcerer from the Heaven Node in the country of Hans who planned to spend the rest of his life developing a panacea to free mankind from disease, which should include disability.

Even though he didn't understand the abilities of the Divine Grace Warlock, he felt that this was a very difficult subject and a huge project, and he didn't know when there would be any results.

I took a shower and thought about a lot of things.

He dried his hair, lay down on the bed, and searched for the latest progress of the divine warlock.

[Ms. Hedwig announced that Alzheimer's disease has been conquered and a new extraordinary medicine is about to be released]

[After the rapid wound healing agent, another major achievement of Dr. Hedwig]

[Savior of mankind? A detailed list of the people who have made the greatest contributions to mankind since the birth of the extraordinary]

Unlike most superhumans who only know how to fight, kill and cause destruction, Hedwig was voted the most popular superhuman in this year's X-platform voting. Her rapid wound healing agent has saved countless lives in first aid and she has a high reputation in Hans and even the world.

It’s just that there are too many strong parties, and her brilliance is obscured by the daily chaos.

Even her potions are specially developed for ordinary people. If used by extraordinary people, the effect will be much worse. It can be said that she truly treats ordinary people as her own, but this is also the consistent style of the Heaven Node.

After putting away his phone, Tatsuya Kawakami was stunned for a moment. He turned his head to look at his sister who was sleeping with a smile on her face, then he smiled, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Hans.

In the afternoon, Hedwig came out of the laboratory. Before he even walked out of the hall, he saw a shocking sea of ​​people outside.

She had encountered such a scene before when she released the rapid wound healing potion. No, it shouldn't be as exaggerated as today.

"Haha, there are quite a lot of people here today."

The colleague next to me smacked his lips and said, "I just heard that it was a lot, but I didn't expect it to be this much. I wonder if it will eat us up."

"Don't worry, this is not a zombie siege. The emergency exit is open. Ahem, Doctor Hedwig, they are all here for you. It's better not to go through the main entrance, otherwise you might end up going home tonight..." At this point, the guard slapped his forehead, "Look at my memory. I'm afraid your house is full of reporters now, Doctor."

"The news that we can definitely cure Alzheimer's is still too big a shock. However, if one day we announce that we can cure cancer, will the country have to send out the army?" a colleague asked curiously.

The guard curled his lips and asked, "Do you think I am really a guard or some school officer?"

This research institute built with Hedwig as its core has long been strictly guarded by Hans' military.

Breaking in here is no different than trying to break into a military camp.

That is to say, the ordinary researchers inside are not aware of it yet.

Hedwig really didn't want to waste time at the door, so he followed the guard's instructions and took the emergency exit, got in the car in the underground parking lot, and drove to a temporarily opened passage.

"Doctor, your mother is being interviewed by reporters now. Should we go back directly?" The person driving the car was an official sent to assist Hedwig in his work.

The Heaven Node established the Tower of Grace in Europa and recruited talented students, which inevitably involved dealing with official organizations.

The vast majority of officials welcomed the proposal and even argued over where to locate the headquarters for the Tower of Grace.

After careful consideration, the headquarters of the Tower of Grace was finally placed at the junction of Gaul, Hans and the Clock Kingdom.

A batch of talent testing materials will be distributed every year for official use.

After the qualified candidates agree, their files will be sent to Mr. Li, who will conduct a preliminary screening.

Finally, the suitable candidates must be trained in the God's Grace Tower and fully pass it, that is, graduate, to officially become a member of the Heavenly Node. The Heavenly Node has no headquarters, or rather, the headquarters is in Heaven.

"Let's go to Mr. Li first. I have something to talk to him about."

"Yes."

After some time, the car stopped in front of an inconspicuous villa.

"I'm having dinner here tonight, you can pick me up at eight."

"I understand."

Hedwig glanced at the kids playing snowballs on the block, smiled, and knocked on the door.

Click.

The door opened automatically, and Hedwig didn't find it strange.

In addition to his extensive knowledge of various techniques, Mr. Li also has a hobby of studying lifestyle techniques.

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

It is similar to the so-called living magic. With a wave of the magic wand, all kinds of furniture seem to come alive and organize themselves, clean and sort out.

With Mr. Li's efforts, he has been able to come very close.

It's just that students with limited time have little interest in learning this aspect, even though strictly speaking this technique can indeed cultivate the refined operational capabilities of the divine grace sorcerer.

"Tea or cocoa? Sorry my coffee maker died in today's experiment."

Mr. Li's voice came from the stairs, and the refrigerator in the living room and the kettle in the kitchen opened automatically.

"Tea, it's healthier." Hedwig put down his bag and sat on the sofa.

Although she has a grand wish to eradicate human diseases, she is not like many people imagine, staying in the research institute day and night and forgetting to eat and sleep. She feels that she is not living up to this ambition if she does not stay up until the early morning every day.

On the contrary, she strictly adheres to the eight-hour working hours, but just staggers her working hours to avoid peak hours.

Many of her experiments might not be able to proceed in the research institute, and she would have to return to the heaven node through meditation to operate them, so there was no need for her to stay in the research institute all the time.

Soon, a cup of unsweetened black tea, steaming hot, floated in front of Hedwig and landed on the coffee table.

Hedwig took a sip: "I still can't get used to black tea without sugar."

"Ahem." Mr. Li smiled as he sat opposite Hedwig. "Sweetness can be compensated in many ways, but if it is added to tea, it will destroy the original tea aroma."

Hedwig pulled out a few bottles of potion: "This is the last course of treatment. This is all I can do for now."

"That's enough. I won't die before I see the demise of the Soul Assembly." Mr. Li accepted the potion.

His body was corroded by the unique evil spirit of the devil during the Battle of Tokyo. It was not to the point of being possessed by the devil, but it still became a rather stubborn disease. It took him more than half a month of research with Hedwig before some results were achieved.

He also strictly blocked this news. Apart from Hedwig, the only other person who knew about it was Louis.

The former must rely on the other party's experience in treatment techniques, while the latter is his designated successor in case of an emergency.

"After conquering Alzheimer's, what direction do you plan to move on to: cancer? ALS? Or rheumatoid arthritis?"

There are many incurable diseases in humans today, but apart from those extremely rare diseases, they can generally be divided into several major categories.

The panacea that Hedwig envisioned should be able to restore the human body to its most ideal state. Even cells that cannot divide can find another way to induce division. As long as there is a breath of life, the body can be saved.

But the amount of work was naturally terribly large, so she broke it down early on, starting with healing potions, then tackling several terminal illnesses, and then tackling the problem of regenerating severed limbs.

"I already have some ideas about ALS. I don't really have any better ideas for cancer than modern medicine. Rheumatoid arthritis is not urgent. After finishing ALS, I plan to start the research on limb regeneration and paralysis recovery."

Hedwig spoke his mind.

Mr. Li nodded: "Losing limbs does bother many people. Even though prosthetic technology is developing well now, it is still high-end and the price is not affordable for ordinary people."

"But there is no universal option. Everyone's situation is very different, so it can be very difficult."

"My suggestion is to develop an improved treatment for cancer. I think it will be better and more accurate than chemotherapy, and avoid the pain of chemotherapy. Even if it cannot completely cure the recurrence problem, it can alleviate a lot of pain."

Hedwig was a little embarrassed: "Actually, I did think so. It just so happens that the students I teach have the intention and talent in this area. I plan to let them improve this aspect."

"Very good. We should train more new people and let them become independent as soon as possible." Mr. Li agrees with Hedwig's approach.

"They all have good talents. I think they will definitely be able to surpass me." Hedwig said this with some self-mockery.

In the past few years, she also tried to understand other techniques, but found them obscure and difficult to understand. It took her several times the effort of others before she could barely master the technique of using the wind to increase speed.

"Talent is certainly one aspect, but in many cases, talent is not the only factor that matters. I think I have good talent, but in terms of healing techniques, there is still a big gap between me and you. Your most valuable quality is your ability to discover and summarize ideas."

Mr. Li does not deny the importance of talent, but all aspects of a person need to be viewed comprehensively.

Augustus's talent was truly amazing, and he was definitely no match for him. Jeremy had praised him more than once when he was alive, but it would be better if the power was in the hands of someone like that.

"Is Louis doing well in Japan?" Hedwig asked shyly.

"He's fine. He seems to be adjusting well. Can't you contact him in heaven?"

"Not really, it's just that there's nothing to talk about. I met him twice, and we talked a few words each time, then we just sat there and didn't know what to talk about."

"So what do you actually want to say to him?"

"Nothing. Well, actually he was just worried that I might harm him. I saw what happened in Tokyo, but it's still hard for me to imagine how to fight against a monster like that."

"Don't worry about that. He has adapted well to his current identity and is pursuing power. You are helping him by bringing him in."

"That would be best."

After chatting for a while and learning that Hedwig's home was surrounded by reporters and that they were going to have dinner there, Mr. Li waved his hand and rummaged through the refrigerator for the remaining ingredients.

"I'm too lazy to cook tonight, so let's have hotpot. It just so happens that it's snowing, and the hotpot with the snow scenery is also a kind of enjoyment." Mr. Li looked at the sporadic snowflakes outside the window and wanted to have a drink, but he shook his head and gave up the idea.

Hedwig had no objection as long as it wasn't pizza. After all, her family ran a pizza shop and she had eaten there since she was a child.

"Mom, have you sent all the reporters away? Well, I'm going to come back soon. I'll try to meet fewer reporters next time, so they won't take my words out of context. Yes, yes, yes, I know you're smart."

After eating, Hedwig said goodbye and left, getting into the car while calling home.

Mr. Li drank a bottle of medicine, then crushed the empty bottle into fine powder and scattered it randomly on the snow pile on the roadside.
