Tokyo: Parasite

Chapter 388 158: Join

Osaka has a bustling night scene. Daisy had only seen such a bustling city in short videos and movies before.

She was very puzzled by one question: why some countries were able to control real power and maintain order, while other countries were plagued by rampant gangs and persistent chaos, maintaining a fragile balance.

But the education she received was not even a happy education. Faced with such a complex problem, she could only give up thinking in a daze and give up such heavy, meaningless thoughts.

"cheers."

Daisy was at the floor-to-ceiling window, and from the upper floor of the hotel she had a panoramic view of the neon lights of the city. She raised her glass of champagne and clinked it with the empty glass next to her.

I raised my head and drank it, with two moons hanging high in the sky.

Although she saw the same scenery in the country of drug lords, when she looked up at the moon in Japan, she always felt a strange feeling of panic and quickened breathing.

The two moons are like a pair of eyeballs, but they belong to different existences, yet they both look down upon the living beings below from high above.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

There was a knock on the door.

"Ma'am, this is the midnight snack you ordered. Do you need my help?" The waiter appeared behind the door and handed over the menu with a smile.

Daisy checked the boxes casually and asked the waiter to push the food cart into the room.

Augustus had many other ways to appear in front of Daisy without anyone noticing, but this was a collaboration, and the other party was not as confident as Jingquan. On the contrary, judging from the information, he was more of an insecure person, so he was always very well-behaved when he came to her house, and he even worked as a waiter in this hotel for three days.

"I can't trust you yet."

"Friendly cooperation is the beginning of trust. When our interests are aligned, I believe it will be more convincing than any words." Augustus opened the lid of the dinner, took out a knife and fork, cut a portion of sirloin, and handed it to Daisy.

"So how do you plan to cooperate first?"

"First verify what I told you. As long as you try to merge with other chosen ones for the first time, even when you unfuse them, your strength will be greatly improved."

"When? What do you need me to do?" Daisy didn't want Augustus to see her nervousness.

"It's up to you. All you need to do is accept the people you want to merge with." Augustus pointed to the room. "Even if it's here, there's no problem."

Daisy looked around and said, "Aren't you worried that the Special Affairs Bureau will find out?"

"If they could find you so easily, I wouldn't have come to you." Augustus said with a smile.

Daisy was silent for a moment: "Then let's do it now, okay?"

"Of course." Augustus took out a device and pressed it.

Not far downstairs, the baron in the car looked at the green light and couldn't help whistling. He turned to look at the dozing Jingquan and said, "Miss Jingquan, the president has already negotiated. You can go up now. Do you remember which room?"

"Ah."

Jingquan opened his eyes, and the Baron blinked, and the other party disappeared.

"The ability of time and space is really cheating." The Baron shook his head with emotion. While no one was in the car, he got out, lit a cigarette, and started puffing away.

Inside the room, Daisy looked at the device curiously for a few times. She could roughly guess that it was a communication item, but she was curious about how the other party got in.

Before she could think about it for a few more seconds, a girl dressed in professional attire appeared in front of her.

"Allow me to introduce you to Jingquan Ringo. She was originally a member of the Special Affairs Bureau, but now she is my partner and one of God's chosen ones."

"Hello." Jingquan said something in English as a greeting.

Augustus dropped a few objects around the room and activated the formation.

Daisy nodded nervously and looked at Jingquan. She felt an inexplicable sense of unity with him that was hard to describe.

She couldn't help but subconsciously reach out her hand to her.

Jingquan shook the other person's hand neatly and quickly: "Feel it with your heart."

Although Daisy couldn't understand Jingquan's words, she could understand what she meant.

So I slowly closed my eyes and let down my guard in the warmth.

A ray of moonlight shone gently in the room out of nowhere.

A mini moon floated where the two of them were just now.

No matter how many times Augustus saw it, he was always fascinated by the "divine power" emanating from it. This kind of power full of harmony can only be matched by divine power.

Unfortunately, this kind of scene only occurs when the Chosen One merges for the first time.

After more than ten seconds, the outline of the moon gradually disappeared, and Jingquan Ringo's figure slowly emerged, from curled up to stretched, and then fell to the ground.

Jingquan raised her right hand and opened it towards the air, and a blue light barrier appeared in front of her. With the flexible manipulation of her fingers, the barrier could be divided into pieces to wrap up the objects around it.

"Whew, that's a pretty good defensive method." Jingquan nodded, "Now, it's your turn to feel it."

After saying this, the moon mark on her forehead glowed, and her face slowly changed into that of Daisy.

Daisy looked at her hands, still with an expression of disbelief.

Although this is indeed not her body, it seems to be smoother and more energetic when used than her original body.

The use of Jingquan's space-time ability seems to be instinctive and comes to him effortlessly.

She seemed to have obtained a favorite toy, constantly flashing in and out of the room. When used to the extreme, it was as if she was invisible. She now understood how Jingquan had suddenly appeared in the room just now.

Even the original barrier means have been greatly improved at this moment. Not only has the range been expanded, but it can also be separated from the main body and used remotely. In extreme cases, it can also wrap up objects, let them float and then withdraw protection.

She originally only believed 20% of what Augustus said, but now she had to increase her belief to 80%.

This power is no different from that of God.

"It is unpredictable that the power of the complete form will be far greater than it is now. By then, you will be the new quasi-gods. As long as you destroy the false gods, you will be qualified to be promoted to the real moon god."

Daisy hesitated and asked, "There are six complete bodies. Who will ascend to the throne of God at that time? One of the six, or will we become one?"

Augustus shook his head honestly: "I don't know."

"You don't know?" Daisy was a little surprised. Augustus gave her the impression that he knew almost everything. "This is God's secret. I have no right to know it." Augustus was not discouraged. "But since you can be chosen by God, I believe you will not give up this opportunity."

Daisy looked a little lost, knowing that she was tricked onto the ship by Augustus, but this was not actually a pirate ship. Compared to the Special Affairs Bureau, accepting her identity as God's Chosen One could give her a glimmer of hope to resurrect Oakley.

After the fusion, Daisy could also clearly see some of Jingquan's unguarded memories, for example, Augustus was a divine sorcerer who was good at research and was at the cutting-edge level in the extraordinary field.

So she took out Oakley's severed arm that she had hidden carefully: "This is the severed arm of the person I want to resurrect. Can you help me see why his body has become like this?"

Augustus took it with both hands and examined it carefully.

"This is the method of the Black Angel. Haha, interesting. I didn't expect it." The more Augustus observed, the more interest appeared on his face.

"Yes, I checked. He is called the Filthy Winged One by the outside world. Many people think he should be related to the Black Angel. He also told me that Japan is the home of angels, so I brought him here."

Daisy explained it all.

"She really deserves the name of an angel. At least I haven't found any extraordinary being who has the ability to intercept souls. There is only one explanation for her being able to do this." Augustus handed the severed arm back to Daisy with a little reluctance.

"Heaven condoned her behavior."

"Since the appearance of the Soul Crow, the souls of all the deceased in the world will return to heaven. The good ones will hang in heaven, resting on the Milky Way, dreaming of eternal dreams and accompanying the Lord."

"The evil ones are transformed into the energy that sustains heaven. In the past, the power that we divine sorcerers mobilized was the souls themselves. They were like gasoline, supplying our cars."

"The power of this Filthy Winged One was granted by the Black Angel, and the price might be his soul. So after his death, his soul will be sealed, waiting for the Black Angel to reopen it."

Daisy was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to digest what she had just heard: "So, Oakley is not dead?"

"This is just a soul that is completely dormant. The Black Angel is most likely using it as a disposable item. Once it is consumed by her, this soul will completely disappear, and you will never be able to revive it again."

Hearing Augustus' words, Daisy hugged her broken arm tighter.

Originally influenced by Oakley, she was thinking that it would be great if she had the chance to meet Shirai Anko one day. But after hearing what Augustus said, that idea instantly disappeared.

Oakley was the first person who made her feel safe and his purest friend. She didn't want him to disappear completely, even though that was what Oakley wanted to see.

Augustus was quite envious of Shirai Anko's methods, or rather, he was tacitly approved of them.

I don't know why she is so favored.

Although he could manipulate souls, they were all old souls buried deep underground, which required very complicated preparatory procedures and had to be purified before use. They also made a lot of noise, so he only collected them during the Mo City Rebellion and the Tokyo Demon Incident.

As for him, when he wanted to catch a Soul Crow for research, he had a premonition that he shouldn't do anything stupid, so he never dared to take action.

The differential treatment is too obvious.

"Well, the Special Affairs Bureau is now overwhelmed. As long as you don't show any signs of contacting other forces that oppose them, they won't force you to join. So if you still have some private matters to deal with, you can continue to deal with them. Jingquan and I will follow you in secret."

Daisy finally let go of a heavy burden and breathed a sigh of relief, remembering why she came to Japan in the first place.

"I will go to Tokyo and visit the former residence of Shirai Anko."

"Okay, please help yourself."

The two bodies separated and turned back into two people, and the moon mark on Jingquan's forehead dimmed and returned to its original state, disappearing under her disguise.

Daisy continued to try to manipulate the barrier ability and found that even after separation, there was indeed a significant improvement.

Jingquan was in a good mood, and the anxiety in his heart finally eased a little.

At least, Augustus did not do nothing, he knew what was going on.

“Now, there are two left.”

"No, you only need to find one more. After the five people merge, the last person will be summoned and come here on his own initiative. I guess you can even forcefully summon the remaining person."

"Summon him by force? What if he doesn't want to? Or what if the last one hasn't appeared yet?"

Augustus shook his head and pointed to the sky.

"As much as I hate to admit it, I think someone has arranged everything."

The next day.

Daisy bought a ticket to Tokyo, a morning flight.

The plane still landed at Haneda International Airport. Because it was far enough away from the core area, it was only affected to a certain extent. After emergency maintenance, it was quickly put back into use.

After all, even without the core area, the overall population did not decrease significantly because most people were evacuated in advance. Tokyo is still a metropolis, but the distribution has become very strange. The last circle of high walls built to resist the Tokyo demons still exists, but some places are broken and collapsed, but there is not much change overall.

The legendary former residence of Shirai Anko is just outside the core area and is almost gone.

"Back then, Shirai Anko lived in this rental house. It was quite far from the school, and the commute was quite long every day. She also had to work part-time. Her father was a gambler, her mother remarried, and she was all alone." The landlord collected a considerable amount of ticket money and did his best to tell every detail of Shirai Anko in his memory.

Even after Shirai Anko left, the room was not rented out for a short time. After learning that Shirai Anko had become an extraordinary person, he simply stopped renting the room and switched to the "tourism" industry.

Originally, she was tepid. After all, who had heard of Shirai Anko? She was not as famous as the Three Special Agents or Ito Makoto. But later, Shirai Anko evolved into a Black Light Angel and killed all the nobles. Her popularity instantly skyrocketed, and the threshold was almost broken.

Although business declined later, it was still much more cost-effective than renting it out.

"Please come in."

The landlord opened the door, took off his shoes, and invited Daisy in.

With the help of translation headphones, she could basically understand what the landlord had just said.

I didn't expect that Shirai Anko had such a miserable life. The place she lived in was even smaller than hers.

"Shirai is a good girl. She cleaned everything very well when she checked out. Since I have fixed her plumbing for her several times, I was able to roughly restore her original layout based on my memory." The landlord told the truth and continued to tell the story.

Daisy held her bandaged severed arm against her chest and listened quietly to the landlord's story. Slowly, an image of a little girl who was different from the mainstream voice on the Internet, a little timid, as if abandoned by the world, slowly took shape in her mind.

"Ah, Ms. Kondo, you're here again." As the landlord was speaking, he saw someone at the door and realized it was his big client.

"Ah."

Saki Kondo nodded, just glanced at Daisy, then put a bouquet of flowers at the door and turned to leave.
