Tokyo: Parasite

Chapter 367 137: Skills

"Moshimoshi, is this Mr. Kawakami Tatsuya?"

"It's me, please say."

"This is the Human Resources Department of All Out Security Company. I regret to inform you that your previous interview results are not suitable for our company's current market strategy."

"Ohhh, that's such a shame."

"Well, I'm sorry to have wasted your time. I hope you can find a job you like soon."

"Thank you."

In the hotel room, Kawakami was eating the breakfast he had bought downstairs not long ago, and casually hung up the speakerphone on the table.

This business chain does not provide breakfast service. The only advantage may be that the price and decoration are well balanced.

To him, it is somewhat like trying to cover up one's own faults.

After all, if they really wanted to investigate him, they would definitely be able to find out that the large sum of money came from an unknown source.

It can only provide some cover when you are not suspected.

Especially in this era of increasingly strict control, his amateur anti-detection methods were too backward. They were all learned from movies and TV dramas, and he had not been taught these during his years in the Maritime Self-Defense Force.

After breakfast, Kawakami stuffed two bullet-like steel balls on the table into both sides of his mouth, then sat on the chair, staring at his mobile phone for a while, waiting for another call to come in.

"Oh my god, are you Mr. Kawakami Tatsuya? This is Miyagi Prefecture."

"Okay, no problem. I can go there today. How about 4pm?"

He arranged this interview invitation last night, so that he would have a legitimate reason to go to Miyagi Prefecture.

It is better to do some superficial work if possible, otherwise it may delay the time for life-saving.

The thought of stopping here came to his mind more than once. If he continued like this, he would be exposed sooner or later, and his family would inevitably be implicated.

But I am unwilling to accept it. I am very unwilling to accept it.

Why should a civilian like him serve in the army and defend the country on the front line, while politicians and big families treat his family as disposable victims?

The abandoned Iki Island was a turning point in his life, and he would not forgive the traditionalists who made these decisions.

Now, it can only be regarded as an appetizer for his revenge.

Vested interests like the Suzuki family actually have the nerve to ask about the word fairness.

Whenever he thought of this, the emotions that had been pent up during this period would surge up, and then he would slowly and skillfully calm them down.

After checking the time, he made a video call to his sister before leaving.

"He Ye, did you have a good breakfast?"

"Yeah, Auntie made it a long time ago. There are toast and eggs, salmon miso soup, and milk."

"I'm going to my mother's place the day after tomorrow. Be careful."

"Okay, I'll report on the progress."

After chatting for a while, Kawakami felt much better. He packed his clothes, checked out of the hotel and headed for the station.

"Ms. Kihara?"

"Oh, it's you? Are you going back, sir?"

At the station, Kawakami met Miss Kihara from Senshin-do. Kihara remembered Kawakami but didn't know his name.

"No, I didn't pass the interview here. Just then, a company in Miyagi contacted me, so I thought of going over there to have a look." Kawakami Tatsuya did not express any hostility or discomfort towards Senshin-do, and showed a formal smile.

"Oh, I see. I hope you can find a suitable job as soon as possible." Mu Yuan gave a sincere blessing, "I just came here to pick you up."

"Well, Ms. Kihara, after I went back that day, I had a dream at night. It seemed that I dreamed of some kind of revelation." Kawakami was trying his best to perform.

Kihara's eyes lit up, and he looked at Kawakami with a more friendly look: "Don't worry, this is not a bad thing, on the contrary, it is a very good thing."

"How to say?"

"I felt something the same night after visiting the Hall of Anger, which means you are destined to be with God."

Kawakami was a little surprised by Kihara's attitude. She was the one who gave the water. Could it be that she didn't know the situation? Or did not everyone react after drinking water?

He responded perfunctorily to Kihara's conversation, thinking about the key point.

Soon, his car arrived at the station. Kawakami made an appointment to meet again next time and then got on the car and left.

"Ah, I forgot to ask his name." Mu Yuan slapped her forehead, but then she changed her mind and realized that since the other party had already received the revelation, he should be like her, a lost lamb, and devote himself to the leader's teachings as soon as possible.

Miyagi Prefecture is the headquarters of the Chanxin Sect. It might be easier for the other party to get further enlightenment there. Maybe the next time we meet, we may become fellow believers.

After figuring this out, she relaxed and waited quietly for the important person she needed to receive.

Because the instructions were quite serious, she came two or three hours early.

"Taking a car is really not a good choice. My nose feels polluted." Wolf took off his mask and complained.

"It's okay, the space is just a little small." Xiong shook his head indifferently.

"How many places has that guy been to? I feel like his presence is everywhere in Aizumi-sato town, yet it's not obvious anywhere." The wolf complained, rubbing his nose.

"It means he is intentionally disrupting our investigation." Xiong nodded.

"I have arranged for the person in charge of Fukushima Shinshin-do to come over. She should be able to provide some help." Ying took out his cell phone and made a call.

Then, he saw a woman with simple and plain clothes and pretty face in his sight. She took out her cell phone and looked at them.

When the wolf saw Muyuan, his eyes narrowed and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Don't act silly. If you don't ruin the adults' plan, I can only try to be gentle when I squeeze you into juice." The bear and the wolf are old friends, and they are well aware of this guy's evil intentions.

The wolf clicked his tongue, "Is that how you think of me?"

"I didn't say that, did I?" the bear asked back.

The wolf wanted to say something but hesitated, and was quite speechless. But at this moment, his nose, which had gradually regained its sensitivity, moved, and his expression instantly became serious, staring at Mu Yuan who was walking towards them.

"What's wrong?" Eagle noticed his abnormality and asked.

"Smell." The wolf sniffed carefully again, "She has the scent of that man."

Upon hearing this, the eagle and the bear looked at each other, then looked at Kihara with the same expression as before.

"What's her name?" the wolf licked his lips and asked with a smile.

"Kihara Fuuna."

"That's a good name. Leave it to me." Wolf smiled and greeted her, "Ms. Kihara--"

"Hi, Kihara Fuuna, greet the three adults." Kihara greeted them somewhat stiffly.

"Don't be nervous. Let's go. Where is your car? Let's get in and talk."

"Ah, yes please." After getting in the car, when Muyuan wanted to start the car, Wolf grabbed her hand.

She was startled and subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back, but Wolf spoke first: "Don't rush to drive. Now, I have a very important question to ask you. It concerns the safety of the leader."

"!" Kihara became nervous, not caring about his hand being held down, "Please, please."

"Before you met us, have you ever had close contact or communication with anyone?" the wolf asked seriously.

"Yes, he is a quasi-believer who has received revelation. He said he was going to Miyagi to find a job. I have met him in Senshin-do before, so we chatted for a while." Mu Yuan said worriedly.

"Well, the purpose of our coming here is to track down the whereabouts of an extraordinary assassin, whose purpose is to assassinate the leader." Wolf frowned and looked at Muyuan with a rather unfriendly look, "And you, as the person in charge of Fukushima Prefecture, can't see through this guy with ulterior motives and let him come and go freely under your nose twice. It's really disappointing."

"I, I'm not, I," Kihara was quite at a loss.

"No matter what, if you are guilty, you must be judged and redeemed." Wolf pinched her chin and said frivolously, "Just wait here. We have to deal with the assassin to prevent any accidents from happening to the leader."

"Please! Please protect the leader!" Mu Yuan said nervously with tears in his eyes.

The wolf said nothing, followed the two men out of the car and returned to the station.

"Tsk, what a scumbag." The bear still couldn't stand the wolf's meanness.

"Wow wow wow, I'm not lying, if you like her too, I don't mind having one more person." The wolf shrugged shamelessly.

Eagle frowned slightly and said nothing.

He had not been a member of these people for long, and the fact that he was regarded as a confidant by the deacon had already made many people dissatisfied, so even though he did not like Wolf's behavior, he did not say anything.

All of this is for revenge. For this, I can sacrifice all my conscience.

Ying confirmed his thoughts and found out that he had received a reply to the message he had just inquired about.

"The last bus that left for Miyagi Prefecture has been on the road for two hours. It arrived half an hour ago. We'd better get to the station as soon as possible and follow his scent."

"Heh, knowing that Gongcheng is our base camp, you still dare to go deep into it. Really..." Wolf shook his head, "Let's go, that girl should not have left yet, take her car, I can't wait to finish that guy off and come back to have some meat, that girl should taste good, I hope her house is well soundproofed."

"Asshole, you can't even bear to spend the hotel money?" Xiong was a little embarrassed.

"You don't understand. This is exactly what I want. I want to play with her at her house." The wolf turned around and saw the eagle standing there in a daze, staring blankly at his phone. "Hey, is there any new news?"

Ying came back to his senses, exited the list of people for the bus that someone else had sent him, and nodded: "I have some results, but I need to confirm it further. I will tell you after I confirm it."

The wolf raised his eyebrows, didn't ask any further questions, and continued to joke with the bear.

Miyagi Prefecture.

Kawakami put down his phone and gave up searching online.

Originally, he wanted to check if there were any families in Miyagi Prefecture who were close to the Special Affairs Bureau, but he found nothing. If he asked more detailed questions, he was afraid that he would be screened out by the Internet police.

"Ito, Suzuki, Yamamoto. Another Suzuki family. Saotome, Kasahara."

Kawakami put down his phone, took a taxi and drove around several places before arriving at the interview place.

As usual, he waited for notification and found a local hotel and checked in.

Kawakami had just put down his backpack and was about to check for cameras as usual, but he saw an extremely eye-catching black card on the table.

The card is about the same size as a greeting card or invitation card, and is shiny black with a line of white words on it.

【Kawakami Yu】

After a quick search in his mind, Kawakami roughly guessed that it was the shadowy figure he met a few days ago.

Sure enough, is it because I didn’t get his reply that I can’t wait any longer?

The guy undoubtedly knew Kawakami's identity. He wanted to call immediately to ask if Kawakami and Ye were safe, but he restrained his impulse, picked up the card and turned it over.

[Your abilities are more than that. You can launch and absorb. Why not give it a try?]

Kawakami frowned.

Who on earth was this person, who not only saw through him clearly and helped him inexplicably, but now understood his abilities better than he did?

Just is this possible?

How could he not know his ability? He has been using it for so long, what about absorption?
Kawakami sat down slowly and recalled carefully. It seemed that he had never experimented in this aspect before. He was only focused on developing how to launch, how to launch faster and more powerfully, and how to use various parts of the body to launch.

At present, the most skillfully used methods are naturally fingers and seamless steel pipes, which can hit whatever you point at within thirty to forty meters. The second most skilled method is peeing, automatic cruising within five meters, and spitting out hard objects with the mouth. This is not very accurate, with an effective range of basically seven or eight meters, and can only be used as a surprise killing move.

Kawakami concentrated, stretched out his hand, made a grip gesture, and stared at the bottle of mineral water in front of him.

"Hehe." A few minutes later, Kawakami wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head. He did see the water bottle shake slightly just now.

However, this ability does not seem to be of much use in actual combat. He can feel that the potential of this adsorption force does not seem to be very strong.

"It's easier to load." Kawakami thought about the use, "And disguise, now there's a better way to make up."

Anyway, the shadowy figure helped him again.

Moreover, there was no mention of cooperation between the two parties in order to exert pressure, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

"Let's go to the Chanxin Hall here first to see if there is anything different."

Kawakami gave up thinking about the identity of the shadow man and left the hotel as planned.

But when he got there, he was a little disappointed.

The scale of the Shinshin-do here is not even as large as the one in Fukushima Prefecture.

And it looks very ordinary, just like any other charity organization.

And, the most important thing is water. Miyagi Prefecture doesn't seem to have the free bottled water that you see in Fukushima Prefecture.

Can this be called a base camp?
Kawakami walked in curiously, like a tourist.

There were no dining tables like in Fukushima Prefecture inside. It was more like a Catholic church with only benches, but not many people.

"Hello, are you a fellow church member?" a young man greeted with a smile.

"Not yet, I just saw your Chenxintang in other places and felt that they were a little different." Kawakami tried to ask questions.

The man just smiled and said, "Appearance is not important. What we are pursuing is spiritual transcendence. What do you think?"

"Makes sense."

"Although we don't provide free meals here, if you really need it, I have some money you can take." The man took out a few thousand yuan, enough to solve the urgent needs of a hungry person.

"Thank you, I don't need it." Kawakami didn't answer.

The man just smiled and took the money back, then continued to look at him with that vaguely familiar smile.

Kawakami remembered that the people in Fukushima Shinshin-do also had the same smiling faces.

Sincere but stiff.
