Tokyo: Parasite

Chapter 379 149: Heaven

"How is he doing?"

Late at night, underground safe house.

Kuroki Shinizumi came here alone secretly, and as soon as he came down, he saw Toyokawa squatting on the ground with his hair pulled and looking worried.

He was squatting outside the medical room, looking nervous and worried, just like a family member of a patient undergoing surgery. This made Kuroki even more nervous, fearing that he would get worse news from him.

"Ah, Chief, the boss seems to be in good health, but his brain activity is very low, which is better than being in a vegetative state."

When Fengchuan saw Kuroki, he quickly stood up, adjusted himself, and tried his best to make his expression look a little better.

Kuroki took a deep breath and patted Fengchuan on the shoulder: "Your performance is very important. Yushi is very tough. Ordinary things can't kill him. As for the unusual ones, it's also a 50-50 chance, so relax."

Fengchuan was speechless. It was a 50-50 chance, and it seemed like he wasn't very confident, but he didn't dare say it out loud.

It is true that birds of a feather flock together. After being with Noguchi for a long time, Kuroki's skills in comforting people have declined so much.

"I, I will." Fengchuan rubbed his face, regrouped, and nodded vigorously at Kuroki.

"Did William say anything to you?"

"No, he said he would stay in Nara for a while to help deal with the sand and make sure the rebels were completely eliminated."

Kuroki didn't say anything else. He opened the door and walked into the medical room of the safe house.

On the bed inside, the testing ceremony seemed a little messy connected to Noguchi's exposed upper body, but there was no way around it. There were very few people that Kuroki could trust 100%, and there was no doctor among them, so Toyokawa did all of this according to the instructions. Fortunately, he had been trained in this area, and with the instructions, it wasn't a treatment, so there was no way to make mistakes.

And once Kuroki hired a doctor, the news would definitely spread quickly, leading to a lot of speculation.

Of course, this is also because Noguchi's current physical condition is healthy. It does not seem like a general medical injury, but more like it was caused by a mysterious force. Combined with the information provided by William, the biggest suspect is Sumitomo Shunsuke who died of the explosion.

Could this be Sumitomo Shunsuke's ability?
By sacrificing herself, she cursed Noguchi Takeshi to be in a coma forever?

Unless the Sumitomo family has a backup plan, this would seem too "righteous" and purely a move to help other families.

Such an action could be done by anyone, but it would be difficult for the last direct descendant of a large family to do so.

However, this could also be the work of the Mother Goddess Unity behind the scenes, using Sumitomo Shunsuke to cause all this, with the goal of naturally causing chaos in the Special Affairs Bureau and bringing chaos to Japan. In this way, the Mother Goddess Unity can hide behind the scenes and control the entire Japan.
Kuroki patted his cheek and came back to his senses.

This is something of an occupational disease. As long as there is a direction, I can't help but keep extending my guesses.

But such speculation is endless and lacks substantial clues. What is more important now is to ensure that Noguchi is in good health and how to deal with the follow-up to minimize the impact.

After all, no one knows when Noguchi will wake up.

She didn't want the Special Affairs Bureau to be left in ruins after Noguchi woke up.

"At present, the only people in the bureau who can be completely trusted are Fengchuan, William, Saga, and Guan Junyan. Mr. Li from the Heavenly Node may be able to seek some support and let Hedwig hide his identity and come to help check."

"Can we also ask the Holy Infant Society? Noguchi is a nominal member after all."

"If Noguchi doesn't show up for more than a few days, it will definitely arouse suspicion, so."

Sitting next to the unconscious Noguchi's bed, Kuroki's originally chaotic and uncontrolled thoughts gradually became focused. He found the key problem and thought about the solution.

"I didn't expect that you could give me guidance to stay awake even when you were asleep." Kuroki looked at Noguchi Takeshi who was sleeping peacefully with a wry smile, then gently poked Noguchi's face.

"You've been busy for so long, it's time to take a good rest. Just leave the affairs of the Special Affairs Bureau to me."

"Good night."

The next day, Kuroki Shinizumi issued a notice through the director's secret key that due to some emergency, Noguchi Takeshi will take Toyokawa to Europa to assist the Heaven Node and the Paladins in handling affairs, and the affairs within the bureau will be handed over to Kuroki and Saga.

She did not mention Guan Junyan publicly because she wanted Guan Junyan to remain a less noticed figure in the Special Affairs Bureau.

In response to this, Kuroki Shinizumi specially invited Mr. Li to cooperate in the performance and sent out the commotion of the devil's revival.

As for how long she could keep it secret, she had no idea.

The only thing we can do is to try our best to stabilize the situation and wait for Noguchi Takeshi to wake up.

I hope I can be by his side at that time and say something gentle.
"Are you awake?"

Ok?
Whose voice is this?

Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Noguchi opened his eyes in confusion. The first thing that caught his eye was a foreign little boy staring at him.

Noguchi could easily tell that it was the sound of waves from the sound of water all around. However, the sound was very strange and very small, as if his ears were covered by a thick membrane.

So, where am I?

Noguchi felt a sharp pain in his head. He struggled to get up, covered his forehead, and tried to recall why he was here.

Nara, the rebellious supernatural being, Sumitomo Shunsuke. A weird bug attached to the heart.

Slowly, he found his memories before he fell into a coma.

No, William was by his side before he fell into a coma. How could he appear at the beach inexplicably with a strange child beside him?
"Kid, who are you?" Noguchi asked tiredly.

"My master and sister call me puppy, you can call me dog master." The little boy's eyes were as calm as an ancient well.

"."

Noguchi did not respond, but tried to use his ability, but received no response.

He is now like the state he was in before taking the Holy Son Pill, a relatively strong ordinary person.

He stood up and looked around the area where he was.

My heart was suddenly filled with shock and I couldn't help but show an expression of shock on my face.

He found himself on a tiny island that could be seen at a glance. There was not even a tree on the island, and the ground was either rocky or sandy!

And as far as the eye can see, it is the horizon.
That’s not quite right. Why is it so bright at night?
Noguchi looked up in astonishment and saw a huge, bright fireball burning fiercely. The rumbling sound seemed to echo in his mind.

"Is this the sun?"

Noguchi felt that he was probably in a dream. Yes, he was unconscious and hasn't woken up yet.

So this is all a dream.

Only dreams can produce such absurd scenes.

"My sister said that if you wake up, you can go to heaven." The little boy said stiffly.

"Heaven?" Noguchi's eyebrows jumped. Could it be that he was not unconscious but dead?

But he knew he couldn't go to heaven.

As he was thinking, white jade-like rectangles fell from the sky, floating in front of Noguchi one level at a time. Looking towards the end, it stretched all the way to the sun. Under the dazzling light, he couldn't see the destination clearly. Noguchi looked back at the little boy, who was sitting on the island, hugging his knees, basking in the sun.

"Aren't you coming together?"

"My sister said I'm not qualified enough to go to heaven."

Noguchi had already guessed who the boy was.

Fengchuan had mentioned it to him and it was recorded in the Special Affairs Bureau's top-secret intelligence.

A lizard monster that once wreaked havoc in Shinagawa District, but also helped them deal with the Tojo Demons.

Since being swept away by the tentacles that fell from the sky, it has disappeared without a trace.

As for his sister.
But now is not the time to worry about the boy's identity. He wants to understand why he is here, whether he can go back, and whether the Special Affairs Bureau will lose control.
It’s such a long staircase, how long will it take him to reach the paradise that the puppy calls it?

But no matter what, he didn't have many choices now. Noguchi took a deep breath, raised his foot, and took the first step towards the white jade steps.

"You don't know how exaggerated the scene was that day!"

"A terrifying giant that is hundreds of meters tall, do you know what that means? It's as tall as the rebuilt Tsutenkaku!"

"Eh? But when I saw the news, wasn't it only about 50 meters? How can it be as exaggerated as 100 meters?"

"The authorities used a special camera angle to conceal the truth! They were afraid of causing too much panic!"

"real or fake?"

On the bus, from the window, you can see the sand sea outside that has not been cleared yet. Several junior high school students are excitedly discussing the sand man incident that happened a few days ago. The boy who claimed that he was at the scene and watching from a distance of only a few hundred meters away flushed, waved his hands, and boasted about his experience that day with great excitement.

If you don’t know, you might think he was standing on the sandman’s shoulders and watching the whole process.

"You little brats are so noisy! Do you know how many people died under this pile of sand?! Do you know how many people became homeless because of this?! You know nothing and only know how to brag about your experiences! The future of Japan is ruined by little brats like you!!"

The decadent middle-aged man next to them finally couldn't stand it anymore, punched the car wall, and yelled at the noisy junior high school students.

Several middle school students were startled, and gave the middle-aged man a weak but unwilling look. They took advantage of the arrival of the station and quickly ran downstairs. The boasting one even turned around and mocked: "You blame us young people for your own incompetence. You are incompetent!"

"Little brat, you——"

The car door closed and the man almost bumped into it. The middle school students below smiled again and ran away playfully.

"Driver, open the door! I'm going to go down and teach them a lesson!"

"I'm not your private car driver! If you want to ride, you can ride for a while. If not, get off at the next stop!" The driver yelled back with a fierce look on his face, interrupting the man's words.

The other people in the car looked at this farce with different expressions.

But no matter what, the sand man did bring a heavy blow to Nara and the entire Kinki metropolitan area.

Both economically and in terms of people's hearts.

Most of the extraordinary events that had occurred before had happened in Tokyo, and now that they had finally been befallen, the pain was sore and filled with mixed feelings.

Tatsuya Kawakami sat in the car, put down his mobile phone, turned his head and looked at the sand blown by the wind outside the car window.

The gravel hit the car window, making a crackling sound, like fine hail.

“I never thought I would see a sandstorm in Nara in my lifetime.”

"Live on. If the world continues to develop like this, I won't be surprised if I see the moon collide with the earth one day."

The two people next to them were talking in low voices, full of self-mockery.

Kawakami remained silent until he got off the bus.

His sister returned to Nara from Osaka the day after the Sandman incident. The chaos that day was quite far away from their home, so their family was not affected.

Plus, the housekeeping lady was there and she cleaned up all the dust in no time.

"elder brother!"

When I opened the door, my sister was sitting in a wheelchair, waiting behind the door.

"I am back."

Kawakami's tense nerves finally relaxed at this moment, and the fatigue accumulated over the past few days disappeared in an instant when he saw his sister's smile.

"Welcome home, brother."

Kawakami Kazuha hugged Kawakami Tatsuya's waist and put her cheek against it.

At this time, the housekeeper came out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "Mr. Kawakami, you don't know that Xiao Heye has been thinking about you these days. The relationship between you two siblings is really good."

Kawakami smiled at her without giving much explanation.

In fact, their brother-sister relationship was quite ordinary before he retired and came back. It was only during the past two years of relying on each other that their relationship was slowly re-cultivated.

Now that he is back and the Saotome and Sumitomo families are destroyed, he will not take action again in the short term.

Because his next target is the Prime Minister and the Emperor.

If you want to deal with them, you need a thorough plan. You can't just wear a mask, hold two steel pipes, and shoot them twice when they are giving a speech.

The current prime minister no longer gives public speeches and only appears in parliament and on live broadcasts. The emperor rarely appears in public, and the Special Affairs Bureau has a small team to provide him with long-term protection.

Therefore, if you want to take action and your identity cannot be discovered, you really need to plan it carefully.

It would be fine for him to live a life on the run, but he didn't want to implicate his sister and mother.

"Mr. Kawakami, I've already prepared lunch. Now that you're back, I can retire. My daughter has been worried about me these days, so I have to go back anyway."

"Auntie, won't you stay for dinner?"

“No, no.”

After some polite exchanges, Tatsuya Kawakami sent the housekeeper away.

"Brother, do you know? Mom seemed to recognize me, and the doctor said she might get better soon." After seeing off her aunt, Kawakami Kazuha excitedly shared the surprise with Kawakami Tatsuya.

Tatsuya Kawakami was stunned. Could it be related to his murder of Saotome?

It is indeed very likely that, according to what my sister said, my mother was no different from a fanatic at the time, and after Saotome left Nara, she completely gave up on them, but the effect of the bewitching spell continued, causing my mother to fall into a kind of sluggish mental state from which she could not get out.

Now that Saotome is dead, it means that the bewitching effect has completely dissipated, and it is possible that the mother can take this opportunity to completely get over it and return to normal.

While eating a delicious lunch and listening to his sister chattering excitedly, Kawakami felt more relaxed than ever before.
