Tokyo: Parasite

Chapter 403 173: Looking for someone

Early in the morning, Tatsuya Kawakami took his sister back to Nara, and then accompanied her to a nearby supermarket to buy a lot of food.

"These are enough for the two of us to eat for a week!"

Kawakami Kazuha said excitedly, still recording the menu plan for the week on her phone.

Tatsuya Kawakami was pushing the wheelchair from behind. He felt unfamiliar with such a scene, but his inner feelings knew no lies and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

"I remember playing Overcooked with you when you were little, right? I remember you always burned the food and made fires everywhere, and you even liked to throw the fire extinguisher into the fire when you were in a hurry."

"Brother!!" Kawakami and Ye were embarrassed. "This, this happened many years ago. The cooking skills of the game are not accurate. I learned some from my mother!"

Kawakami Tatsuya nodded obediently: "Yeah, I believe it."

He Ye looked at the menu he had chosen with uncertainty, modified a few items, then opened the cooking software and tried his best to memorize the contents.

"So, Chef Heye, what are we having for lunch today?"

"Eat miso eggplant and fried beef with fried egg."

"Okay, then I'll wait."

The two returned home, and He Ye couldn't wait to put on his prosthesis, started busying himself in the kitchen a little clumsily, and drove his brother out.

Tatsuya Kawakami sat down on the sofa and glanced at the balcony inadvertently, only to find a figure sitting on the camping chair he bought, seemingly admiring the scenery outside.

"." Kawakami was nervous for a moment, but after seeing that the other person was dressed in black, he relaxed. He glanced at the closed kitchen, stood up, opened the floor-to-ceiling window and walked in, pulling the curtains to avoid being seen by his sister.

Hiro Ozaki took a sip of hot tea and exhaled a breath of hot air: "Spring is coming."

Kawakami glanced at the pedestrians outside who were huddled in the chilly wind and said, "It's still early."

"Soon, spring will come for all living beings." Hiro Ozaki said meaningfully.

Kawakami narrowed his eyes. What Ozaki Hiro said was quite similar to those cult riddlers.

"Are you here to ask me to fulfill my promise?"

"No, it's not time yet, and it seems that you haven't finished your work yet." Hiro Ozaki shook his head casually and poured a cup of tea for Kawakami.

Kawakami felt a little relieved when he heard what Hiro Ozaki said. Although he did not intend to break his promise, he did not want to fulfill it so quickly.

He had a hunch that even though the other party said it so casually, that he was just going to a place to witness something, he knew that there was no good thing without a reason, and that he would have to pay a heavy price.

"I'm just reminding you that although I've tried my best to cover it up for you, you still left too many loopholes in the Northeast. Saga Shunya from the Special Affairs Bureau has already noticed it. If he continues to investigate, it's only a matter of time before you're targeted." Ozaki Hiro spoke slowly, "And based on my understanding of him, he will definitely continue to investigate, so it won't be long before you're targeted. There are big problems with your source of funds and whereabouts."

Tatsuya Kawakami listened to Hiroshi Ozaki's words silently and did not speak immediately.

"How long do I have?" Kawakami asked calmly.

"At least half a month. I have set up some tricks to delay the time."

"That's enough, thanks."

"You're welcome. You should plan carefully. What I told you before still counts as long as we can take your sister and mother away. But the closer the time, the greater the risk. You should weigh the pros and cons yourself."

".I see."

Ozaki Hiro said this, without telling him what to do. He casually poured a cup of tea onto the floor where the sun didn't shine, which turned into a pool of black slime. He turned around and stepped into it, disappearing.

Watching the mucus slowly disappear, Tatsuya Kawakami sat in his original position, seemingly looking at the scenery outside, but in fact he was completely immersed in thoughts in his mind.

Regardless of whether Hiro Ozaki really had no other choice or just didn't want to let him escape the Special Affairs Bureau's pursuit, he knew that he didn't actually have much choice.

This was clear when he embarked on the road of revenge.

And he had to admit that what he did was indeed very rough. It could be said that the fact that it had not been discovered until now was either a miracle or it was entirely due to the cleanup by Hiro Ozaki.

Especially when he killed Ryuta Saotome, he was too emotional and left behind a relatively clear killing method, and there may even be a lot of skin debris left.

I also met with people from the Special Affairs Bureau.

Since the confrontation with the Special Affairs Bureau is unavoidable,
He remembered Abe's sanctimonious attitude, his blatant lies, and his blood-stained body.

And what Saotome Ryuta said before his death was that the Sumitomo family had a connection with the Emperor.

What a joke, it would be weird if there was no connection between them.

Which of these high-ranking rentiers does not have the blood of the people on their hands?

I just don't know, after sucking so much blood, do they have more blood than ordinary people?

His contemplation did not end until his sister called him.

Lunch is ready.

"Now that things have come to this, we can't go to waste the vegetables we bought this week." Kawakami returned to the living room and walked towards the dining table where hot dishes were placed.

In a trance, it seemed like the scene I saw when I just returned home as a child.

Only then did he remember that he had not experienced the scene of his family cooking meals and waiting for him to eat for many years.

When I was taking care of my younger sister, I rarely cooked even when things were tough, and I always bought discounted lunch boxes.

"Brother, try it." The sister handed over a pair of chopsticks with both hands.

Tatsuya Kawakami took it, helped her sit down, and then started eating.

"Is it delicious?" Kawakami Kazuha looked nervous and expectant.

"Hmm, delicious." Tatsuya Kawakami tasted the eggplant and couldn't tell what it tasted like, but he just felt that it must be delicious.

"Really? You're not lying to me, right? I was afraid it wouldn't suit your taste."

He Ye breathed a sigh of relief and began to speak.

Tatsuya Kawakami would hum or hmm from time to time as if to show his attitude, and just kept his head down eating.

Let him enjoy days like this for a week.

Just think of it as the "red bean rice" attending your own funeral.

"Is there any third party involvement? Who is the main suspect?"

In the Special Affairs Bureau, Noguchi, who was still very alert after not sleeping all night, looked at the report on the handling of the Chishin Sect rebellion in the Northeast region submitted by Saga, and saw the follow-up major arrangements of Saga's plan.

"Yes, in the rebellion in the northeast region, it is obvious that a supernatural force found Saotome Ryuta before my troops. The main suspect at present is the Moon Initiator who may be in the wild. I am using AI to repair and investigate the data, but I found a more interesting clue. Perhaps the Mother Goddess Integration is also involved."

Saga continued.

"It's not surprising that the Mother Goddess Unity appeared here. After all, they also cooperated with the remnants of the traditional supernatural faction in Nara. But the problem is that the traces that appeared here are targeting the Sensation Sect." "But Saotome Ryuta of the Sensation Sect is clearly instructed by the traditional faction, and the rebellion is just to attract us to divide our forces."

Noguchi was not surprised: "The purpose of the Mother Goddess' unification has always been to deal with us, to make it difficult for Japan to form a force to deal with them. Maybe they think that if Sumitomo Shunsuke takes action, I will be doomed. So they targeted Sumitomo Shunsuke's forces in advance to prevent him from becoming too powerful."

Noguchi overestimated Ozaki Hiro, because he did feel the breath of death that day. If it weren't for the "bug" he saw in his heart, perhaps he really had been possessed and controlled by another spirit.

Saga nodded: "I will investigate in these two directions, it may take some time to get results."

"Well, try to be gentle. Now that the banner of the traditional faction has been completely cut off by us, most of the extraordinary people can be developed into our own people. I plan to arrange Gao Dao to be in charge of the re-established extraordinary logistics support department. In terms of treatment, it cannot be much worse than what those families provided before."

Saga smiled easily: "In this way, I have great confidence in further dividing those small groups."

"Those families who take over also need to be kept a close eye on. Otherwise, they will be the next traditionalists. I don't want to be stuck in this kind of useless internal friction for too long." Noguchi expressed his thoughts. He was worried that if a similar situation happened again, the entire Special Affairs Bureau would be on the defensive and in turmoil. Therefore, it was necessary to let Saga, one of his successors, understand his approach.

Saga nodded, indicating that he would take note of it.

"There is another strange thing, Carlos, do you remember it?" Saga remembered something and spoke.

Noguchi remembered the extraordinary things very clearly: "Carlos, suspected to be one of the extraordinary people in America, was reported to have died, but later appeared next to Hasamu, a member of the Heavenly Node, and joined the Sword of Damocles organization. Together with Hasamu, he prevented the outbreak of several unjust wars in Africa. The wolf form of the wolf was very similar to the wolf devil that was rampant in the Kingdom of David, but it cannot be completely confirmed."

"Well, he is from the country of drug lords. Now he focuses his energy on the country and wants to build an extraordinary country with peaceful development. However, he lacks experience and wants to bring a team here for a visit." Saga looked a little strange.

They seem to be somewhat unworthy of the term "peaceful development".

The mainland has experienced four non-experimental nuclear explosions, so the question is who can do it.

"Are you sure they want to come here to learn from us?" Noguchi suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"That's right, he believes that Japan is currently the only country that can coexist with the extraordinary in a relatively harmonious manner." Saga was a little overwhelmed.

harmonious?

I have something to say about the recent rebellion in Northeast China and the turmoil in the four countries.

But Noguchi understood the point.

In the final analysis, their turmoil was mainly caused by some messy external forces. The traditionalists have now been completely suppressed and are not to be feared. If we talk about a supernatural country that is dominated by supernatural beings and tries to maintain stability as much as possible, apart from them, there is only the Natural Kingdom.

However, the natural kingdom is not a normal state model and cannot be used as a reference.

When you think about it this way, Japan is truly an extraordinary country.

It's just that the price is a bit high.

"They communicated through Hasam. They originally wanted to find you, but you were in a coma some time ago. They happened to have my contact information, so they told me. Because they were not in a hurry, I didn't agree right away."

"Promise it, we owe them."

"Yes." Saga thought so too. If he didn't agree to such a small request, it would be too disrespectful to his allies.

"There is one more thing, the memo mentioned that today Hedwig and Louis..."

"Beyond the fence is the newly established Aokigahara Nature Reserve."

On a viewing platform at the edge of Aokigahara, Louis pointed to the newly built fence in the woods in the distance, and stuck his head out to form a large area.

Hedwig nodded, jumped down from the observation deck, and walked inside.

Louis followed closely behind.

"No classes today?"

"Yes, but your side is more important."

"Oh"

The two were not talkative people, and after a few words, they fell into silence.

Soon, they reached the fence.

This fence is well made, but it can't stop people with ulterior motives, let alone extraordinary people.

However, they have all reported it, after all, the sphere of influence here is quite complicated.

It is said that it still belongs to Japan, but in order to persuade the fox people and General Tachibana to participate in the battle to defend Tokyo, half of Aokigahara was ceded to the other side. The so-called ecological nature reserve is just a decent term.

The one-eyed cat didn't have much demand for the territory, but mainly for food. Noguchi agreed to deliver cat food and canned food regularly.

So after crossing the fence, you actually arrived at the fox people's territory.

Hedwig is not a person who does not follow the rules. She came here this time to find the fox people to see if she can cooperate with them to develop new potions and fulfill her dream of healing the world.

Therefore, she had informed the fox people in advance through the Special Affairs Bureau and made an appointment to meet today, but before that, they would go to the Maomao Village first.

"It's best not to have too much hope for the fox people's cooperation." Louis said.

"I understand." Hedwig had learned about it in advance, and even after knowing that some of the fox people knew Ye Jie and had a good relationship with him, he got a handwritten letter from Ye Jie.

Hope it helps a little.

"Meow!"

General Ju jumped down from the treetop and looked them up and down.

"Is this General Ju? We are Hedwig and Louis who have an appointment to visit." Hedwig squatted down and greeted General Ju cautiously.

"Meow meow meow."

General Ju stood up, walked around them with a swagger, and returned to his original position with a slightly disappointed look.

"Just a little gift. You're welcome." Hedwig remembered the information and took out the catnip he had prepared.

General Ju happily took it, opened the package skillfully, put a paw in, then took it out and put it to his nose to sniff it carefully.

"Meow."

General Ju didn't show any surprise, as if he was just talking about the goods.

Hedwig didn't expect that the catnip she carefully selected would only have this effect.

"General Tachibana, try this."

Louis took out a bottle, opened the cap, and poured a little into General Orange's palm.

General Ju was just about to meow and say that the other party was stingy, pouring so little from such a small bottle, and looking down on him. He had been swimming in a pile of catnip before. But before he could meow, he was suddenly attracted by the mysterious scent. He involuntarily moved closer and took a sharp breath, and his eyes immediately rolled back.

This stuff is pure!
