Tokyo: Parasite

Chapter 407 177: Progress 2
At the airport, Yumi Takashima was arranged by the Special Affairs Bureau to pick up Carlos.

She returned to the office, and the class atmosphere that had not faded for three years was like welcoming the return of the Dragon King. Once she put on the uniform, she could immediately get into work mode without any adjustment.

In other words, she didn't know what Carlos was thinking at the moment, otherwise she would have found an opportunity to correct his overly favorable view of Japan.

Good order does exist, but the price paid for the so-called coexistence of the extraordinary is too heavy to be used as a reference at all.

In addition, because the official operations in the past were too inhumane, the disaster area was not repaired until nearly 30 years after the earthquake, and the emergency shelters almost became permanent residences. They concealed the responsibility if they could, delayed it if they couldn’t, and pushed it off if they couldn’t delay it. Now that they really can’t push it off anymore - they are launching an offensive!

I've already apologized, what else do you want?

So much so that after the Special Affairs Bureau gradually came to power, people were surprised to find that the work efficiency of this group of extraordinary people was actually very high in comparison.

Under the pressure of the Special Affairs Bureau, the Self-Defense Forces, which had previously refused to move after the disaster, were willing to work overtime to save people. The reconstruction work was not delayed again and again, and the victims were resettled and at least had enough food.
Yes, these are practices that seem to be reasonable, but the original authorities simply cannot do them.

It is really difficult to achieve this level.

Moreover, most of the extraordinary people in the Special Affairs Bureau have no bad records, and those who do are dealt with secretly by Noguchi, so the civilians are not too averse to the Special Affairs Bureau being in power.

"Mr. Carlos, Ms. Dana, I'm Yumi Takashima, and I'm here on behalf of the Special Affairs Bureau to welcome you."

Yumi Takashima shook hands with Carlos and his sister Dana.

Carlos didn't say anything, just nodded, but he looked at Takashima with some doubt.

He was not aware of Yumi Takashima's return to the Special Affairs Bureau.

"He is just like that, not very talkative, don't mind it." Dana took the initiative to chat with Takashima. In addition to studying, she was also responsible for acting as a lubricant for Carlos, who did not like to deal with the ways of the world, so that he would not offend people silently.

For this reason, the entire citizen gang had to be temporarily entrusted to Jamie. God knows whether the drunkard will cause any trouble, but at least he is an extraordinary person and can at least deter other guys with ulterior motives.

Takashima himself was a serious person at work, so he had no reason to dislike someone like Carlos: "Director Noguchi was originally going to come pick you up in person, but was temporarily delayed by some trivial matters. Please forgive me."

"No, no, no, we are the ones who disturbed you. We will have to trouble you, the Special Affairs Bureau, a lot more next time."

A few people walked out of the airport politely, got on the shuttle bus, and drove towards the Special Affairs Bureau.

The welcoming banquet was also prepared within the bureau.

Neither Takeshi Noguchi nor Carlos are people who like ostentation. Unless there is a special need, most of the time, the resolution of a problem is more important than the momentum of the problem.

Not to mention that he had just woken up and there were still many things that needed to be dealt with personally, so he didn't have much free time to waste.

So they just had a meal together, and then quickly discussed the next arrangements based on Carlos' needs.

First, Dana was placed in the administrative internal affairs department of the Special Affairs Bureau as an observer. No non-confidential information would be concealed from her, and she would answer all questions.

Carlos followed Noguchi directly and handled some extraordinary affairs together, and explained the internal structure, policies, suppression and utilization of the officials, etc.

Noguchi spoke very straightforwardly, and Carlos was satisfied.

He was afraid of the subtlety and tactfulness of Oriental people in their tactics, because he might not understand them.

"It is difficult to apply our experience here to the situation in the country of drug lords. Although I have never been there, I think it is a place where whoever has the gun has the final say, and many balancing measures cannot be implemented." Kuroki Shinizumi gave his suggestions on the side.

Carlos shook his head directly: "That is under the premise that there are no extraordinary people. I will teach them not to use guns for everything."

Having been in and out of the David Kingdom military camp seven times and withstood missiles, he is indeed confident in saying this.

Since the person involved has said so, others naturally dare not say that they know more about the country of drug lords than him.

Since the arrangements have been made, Carlos doesn't want to waste time and starts counting from today.

"Then, come with me to Nara first to supervise the reconstruction of residential houses." Noguchi Takeshi told Carlos about the next arrangements. Naturally, Carlos had no objection. He even had to wait until they were on the way to learn about what happened in Nara from Saga.

"The sea of ​​sand that surged out that day has now been basically filled or sold thanks to the efforts of all parties. The victims are now being housed in nearby indoor shelters. Reconstruction work is being accelerated, and many companies have provided free assistance."

After arriving in Nara and inspecting the area, Noguchi temporarily handed Carlos over to Saga and returned to the place where he was ambushed by Sumitomo Shunsuke that day.

Because we had notified you in advance, this small area has remained the same with no changes.

Noguchi stood where he had stood at the time, recreating the scene at that time, as if he was lost in thought.

Finally, he slowly raised his head and looked towards a certain direction in the clear sky. There, it seemed as if something was staring at him coldly across the distant, dark silence.

After a long time, Noguchi suddenly chuckled, retracted his gaze, and with a wave of his hand, completely destroyed the scene that had remained intact.

He has always been an atheist, and after the birth of Chaofan, he believed that the so-called God was just a once powerful Chaofan.

And now.
"God" proved that his idea was right.

Humans can also be qualified to climb to the throne of God.

He had no obsession or concept about the so-called godhood, but he was very interested in the power that the godhood represented and could control. If he wanted to achieve all this, he could only ask the one who suppressed the star to get out of the way.

Day two.

Aokigahara.

"Why does that wine make me feel so drunk? It's hard to guard against."

When Louis woke up, he had skipped the night and arrived at the next morning.

At this moment, he was lying on the bed in the wooden house. Judging from the decoration, it should be a guest room.

"No. We have to inform Babao."

He naturally would not forget what he had told Babao yesterday. If he did not report safety before noon today, it would fly back to Kyoto to ask for support from the Supernatural Academy.

I looked at the time and it was eleven o'clock, so I quickly got up and went to look for the Jade-faced Fox.

"Why do I feel like I have lost my memory?" Louis could only vaguely remember some of what happened yesterday.

It seemed that he was drinking and suddenly got excited about some topic, and then he took a bunch of soap to the river to wash clothes for no apparent reason? It seemed that he even stood on the stage to give a speech, but he didn't remember what he said at all.

"You spoke in Hansic, and I didn't understand it, but Fox Seven should know. She also kept clapping for you until late at night."

The Jade-faced Fox looked at him strangely.

Louis was mildly apologetic, but not awkward.

"Okay, go quickly and come back quickly." The Jade-faced Fox nodded to the Ghost-faced Fox who didn't want to show up. The hallucinations immediately swept over Louis, making his headache worse. Louis could only cover his head and transform into a fox, walk all the way outside, and then transform back into a human, so that the Soul Crow would know that he was safe and return to the Fox Village.

But as soon as he came back, he was stopped by Fox Seven.

"No drinking today." Louis refused immediately.

"I'm not drinking. I didn't make much wine. I don't want to give it to you if you want it." Fox Seven waved his hand, "I just made a meal and asked you to eat with me because I thought we could get along well."

Hearing that it wasn't drinking, Louis breathed a sigh of relief.

If it's just for eating, then it's fine.

"Where is the Jade-faced Fox?" She was clearly there just now?

"I don't know, but she told me that I will entertain you during this period of time." Fox Seven's smile was sincere, which made Louis less vigilant.

But after arriving at her house, Louis discovered that even Fox Six was not there today.

"Do you even eat separately?"

Logically speaking, with just a few foxes like these, it should be more convenient for them to eat together.

"I think their cooking is too ordinary, just ordinary human dishes. I got tired of eating them when I traveled around the world." Fox Seven's look of disdain made Louis stand in awe.

Could it be that he could eat authentic fox food today?
Does this thing really exist?

He has also enjoyed a lot of local delicacies. Although he has not tired of them, he is not averse to new flavors. Even if they taste bad, the worst that can happen is that he will not eat them in the future.

"Well, it seems that I am lucky today. I'll ask Hedwig if he is free." Louis was about to call Hedwig over when he was stopped by Fox Seven.

She didn't want the researcher hired by Jade-faced Fox to fall in her house and trigger the "Village Chief's Wrath" copy, and Louis seemed to be just a bodyguard of the researcher, so eating and drinking was much more normal for him.

If it collapses, it collapses. It probably won’t have any impact on research.

"Her meals are prepared by Sister Jade-faced Fox, and we are not allowed to interfere. If you think they are delicious, you are welcome to bring her to eat with you anytime in the future."

Louis' brows twitched, and he roughly guessed that Fox Seven's "fox cuisine" might not be very popular.

But he didn't care much about it. He had eaten beef stomach hotpot before. In comparison, even if it tasted bad, it shouldn't be that bad.

vomit! ! !
Louis spat out a mouthful of food residue, which was quickly blocked by Fox Seven with a dinner plate who was prepared.

He only felt that his vision began to blur, and everything in front of him was rapidly receding. For the first time in his life, he was shocked by the taste on the tip of his tongue, as if he had seen the birth of the earth.

The fishy and bitter taste is mixed with the spicy and pungent taste, the salty and sour taste is mixed with the smell, and the taste is rich and varied. Even when it enters the mouth, it is still undergoing Rubik's Cube-like changes, like blue cheese strengthening canned herring, and then the unlucky child born is stuffed into the anus of a Greenland shark and pickled for five hundred years. You can't call this unpalatable, just like you can't call this thing food.

This messy taste was like a WWE wrestling match on his taste buds, and it was ten thousand times more painful than when he received the notice of failure in the past.

Tears, pulled down.

"Ah? Is it unpalatable? I think it's okay." Fox Seven had a look of regret on his face as he calmly ate the molecular cuisine in front of him which looked like a fish, but in fact, he didn't know what ingredients were used.

I thought I could find a like-minded human being, but unexpectedly, I still couldn't accept this kind of "fox food".

"vomit"

This guy is so dangerous.

If Hedwig doesn't come out, Louis feels that he might get injured at work.

It’s a pity that although Hedwig’s research has made some slight progress, it has not even made it out of the door.

What we can learn from the database inside the Heaven Node is that there are not many extraordinary people with super vitality, only three.

One is Nakai Hayabusa, who has shown terrifying regenerative abilities, but as the president of the Holy Infant Company, he has almost no dealings with them, and even people from the Special Affairs Bureau may not be able to meet him, so this person cannot be ruled out directly, and can only be regarded as a helpless alternative.

One is a faker, who once demonstrated an ability similar to the Transfiguration of the Divine Grace Warlock, but much stronger than Transfiguration. Generally, this ability also requires strong vitality to support it. However, even the faker's subordinate, Jade-faced Fox, needs to seek help from her, which shows that this direction is not feasible.

Another one is Carlos, who has shown abilities similar to those of a fake person. Among the three, he is the most likely to lend a helping hand, so she contacted Hasamu immediately and learned that Carlos happened to be in Japan and took charge of the matter, asking her to wait for a few days.

Similarly, Hedwig relaxed a lot and began to study the strange leaves that also had strong vitality, comparable to holy water.

Just smelling this leaf can make the soul feel relaxed and happy, and wearing it on the body can help you focus and activate your thinking.

"Holy water is more for healing the body, while this leaf is for the soul and spirit. No wonder the effect is not as good as holy water."

Although this leaf may not have any effect on Fox Two, it brings strong hope to Hedwig. Perhaps this is a key ingredient in the panacea she has always dreamed of.

The holy water heals the body, and the leaves nourish the soul.
She suppressed her thoughts. Her top priority now was to help Fox Two escape from danger, otherwise she would not have enough favors to trade for more leaves in the future.

"By the way, the holy water antidote I made to treat Carl last time seems to be able to prevent his own vitality from being absorbed and eroded."

Hedwig took out the materials and prepared a bottle of potion based on the records and Fox Two's symptoms.

Looking out the window, it was already sunset.

"Quick, try the effect of this potion."

Hedwig came to Fox Two's residence and handed the potion to the Jade-faced Fox who had been guarding here most of the time.

This speed is too fast.

"I'm not sure how effective it will be, I just want to see if this idea is effective. I still need to record the patient's reaction for further debugging."

Hedwig explained.

Jade-faced Fox nodded, which was expected, so she handed the potion to Fox Three and asked him to feed it, and then she went to prepare dinner for Hedwig.

Hedwig took out his notebook and nervously watched Fox Two swallow the entire bottle of potion, watching the effect of the potion.

The effect was similar to the holy water she had seen before. It first nourished the mother's body, and then the fetus quickly absorbed it.
Eh, it seems I couldn’t absorb too much!

In Hedwig's view, because of the effect of the potion, the fetus's attempt to absorb vitality was considered hostile, so the nutrient delivery pipeline was forced to close.

However, because the fetus's ability to snatch energy is so strong, the duct cannot be completely closed, and the vitality remains in a stalemate stage, but it is enough for the body to slowly recover to a weak state.

Fox Two's eyelashes trembled slightly at Fox Three's wide eyes, and then slowly opened.
