Science Fiction: Starting from Obtaining Sophon

Moreover, the opponent's strength should be considerable, so attacking together would not be a wise choice.

But if they ran together, they didn't believe that this kid would fire a gun!

At this moment, the three thugs were like the Trisolarans in The Three-Body Problem, betting that Cheng Xin dared not press the button to emit the gravitational wave.

But as soon as they made a move, Genda River immediately raised his pistol.

"Is he really going to shoot?" Shinichi Kudo, lying on the ground, suddenly changed his expression. He wanted to stop him, but the intense pain from his wound made it impossible for him to get up.

"boom----"

The bullet landed on the door not far away, instantly creating a bullet hole in the stainless steel door.

"There are still four bullets left in this gun. Although I haven't practiced shooting, at this close range, it should be enough to kill you all. Don't try to escape, or I really will shoot!"

His tone was firm and decisive, leaving no room for negotiation. The three thugs had no more hope and could only collapse to the ground, their faces ashen.

At that moment, the sound of police sirens finally rang out outside the door…

On the stretcher, Shinichi Kudo looked at Gendagawa, who was talking to Inspector Megure, and tried hard to open his eyes to see what the other person looked like.

Today's case is a huge failure for him.

Furthermore, he strongly disagreed with Genda's approach to the case. He wanted to know if the three criminals were determined to escape, would he really have fired his gun?

But by then, he had no chance to ask any questions and was lifted into the ambulance.

At this moment, Lichuan Xingtai was finally back in his parents' arms. The little boy could no longer hold back and burst into tears. He had accumulated too much fear over the past day and night.

At this moment, he finally let out his emotions, and his cry was quite loud.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; the fact that he could still cry and shout like that meant he was probably alright.

However, Officer Sato still stepped forward and comforted the family, then suggested that they go to the hospital together to have the child examined and receive appropriate psychological counseling.

After expressing their gratitude profusely, Lichuan and his wife took their son, got into a police car, and disappeared into the darkness of the night.

Chapter Thirty-Five: The Sophon Repairs and Deduces Sword Techniques

"Brother Genda, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, we would be in real trouble."

At this moment, Inspector Megure realized that this was indeed his real 'brother,' the guarantee that he could retire smoothly and enjoy the benefits of a senior police officer. His smile became even more amiable.

Gendagawa smiled slightly: "Inspector Megure, you're too much. Since I've made up my mind to be a detective and accepted Haruko's request, I will definitely do my best."

Officer Sato, standing nearby, couldn't help but ask, "Genda-kun, I still don't understand, how did you find this place?"

This kidnapping case was indeed extremely dangerous. If it weren't for Gendagawa's miraculous intervention, who appeared out of nowhere at the crucial moment to subdue the main culprit, Morita Ei, and save young Lichuan Xingtai and Kudo Shinichi, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

In fact, he still feels a sense of lingering fear.

If the hostage dies due to a delayed rescue, it's already an unbearable loss. But if Shinichi Kudo also gets hurt because of it, that would be interesting.

His current feelings are, in fact, somewhat complicated.

There was concern for Shinichi Kudo, which stemmed from their friendship, as well as lingering fear of what could have been a major disaster, and resentment towards Shinichi Kudo for his tendency to act alone.

He had previously reminded the other party that if anything happened, they must notify him immediately and absolutely not act on their own, but the other party just wouldn't listen.

In comparison, it becomes clear that Gendagawa is simply too perfect; in terms of detective skills, he seems to be no less capable than that kid.

Although it hasn't stood the test of time yet, today's events alone are enough to inspire trust.

They are mature and steady in doing things, with timely reporting that takes into account the overall situation, as well as cold and decisive decision-making on the spot, and they also have excellent physical skills.

He had seen Morita Sakae's miserable state before; he had been punched in the face and even dislocated his jaw. According to the remaining three thugs, this kid was like a monster; he punched Morita Sakae so hard that he spun around several times, which showed that the force was definitely not small.

Shinichi Kudo was shocked when he saw this, thinking that the force of that blow was probably no less than that of Ran.

What's even more remarkable is that, under his control, the remaining three criminals obediently surrendered, saving the police a lot of work.

So from any perspective, it was handled perfectly.

After seeing off Lichuan's family and watching the thugs being put into the police car, Sato Miwako came over and overheard their conversation.

She suddenly spoke up: "Genda-kun, my name is Sato Miwako, I'm Inspector Megure's subordinate. I met you before when we were dealing with the jewelry store robbers."

The beautiful policewoman with a slender waist and long legs walked over and took the initiative to talk to him, which surprised Genda Kawa slightly.

"Hello, Officer Sato"

Sato Miwako has striking features and a vigorous, heroic air, giving off a decisive and efficient vibe. At this moment, her gaze is deep and intense, carrying a considerable sense of pressure.

"Genda-kun, the kidnapping case was resolved thanks to your help, but there's something I still want to tell you. Just now, during the interrogation of the kidnapper, according to his account..."

You used a gun to subdue the criminals and prevent them from escaping. My question is, if these people had actually escaped, would you have fired your gun? Please answer me honestly.

Genda immediately said in a deep voice, "Of course not. I was just trying to scare them. I'm just a detective, not a policeman. This is your job. At that time, Morita Ei couldn't escape. Once we caught him, the identities of the other robbers would naturally be exposed."

Seeing the boy's solemn and serious expression, Sato Miwako breathed a sigh of relief, followed by a wave of guilt.

I was being far too sensitive; I actually questioned such an innocent boy because of this.

He immediately bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Genda-kun. I was being too sensitive. I shouldn't have questioned your good intentions."

Seeing this scene, Genda chuckled to himself. This policewoman was so naive. If he were a clueless high school student, he might tell the truth. But he wasn't the original owner of this body anymore; he was a seasoned veteran. How could he possibly tell the truth?

He knew in his heart that if those three thugs dared to escape, he would definitely shoot.

Of course, he wouldn't kill anyone directly, nor would he need to. Sonoko could calculate the most accurate shooting position and project it onto his retina, allowing him to directly correct the most suitable trajectory, just like playing a video game, thus achieving an effect similar to a sharpshooter.

With such a guarantee, he would definitely let the other party know what it feels like to have a bullet pierce their calf.

In fact, if he weren't worried about getting into trouble, he would have even shot the criminals in the head.

After talking with the police for a while, he said goodbye and left because he had more important things to do.

[Absorbing a large amount of spacetime energy, the system is currently repairing...]

This is why Genda River was in such a hurry to go home. He saved Shinichi Kudo, changing the outcome of his death, and also saved Kota Reikawa, changing the fate of the Reikawa family. He suddenly gained a large amount of spacetime energy, which led to the current scene.

When a large amount of spacetime energy appeared, Zhizi was stunned. The spacetime energy brought by Kogoro Mouri earlier was already more than enough.

But to my surprise, compared to Shinichi Kudo, they were nothing!

[Spacetime energy replenishment complete!]

As her energy was replenished, Zhizi awoke, her beautiful eyes sparkling with wonder.

"awesome!"

Sumida River hurriedly asked, "How is it? How much has it recovered?"

Tomoko happily clasped her hands to her chest and jumped up in her mental world.

"Two percent! I now have more than three percent of the computing power!"

Genda River's eyes widened in disbelief. He had previously met Kogoro Mouri and absorbed spacetime energy, which only restored one-thousandth of his system's computing power. But now, after saving that 'washing machine's' life, it had actually restored two percent of its power!

It exceeded Kogoro Mouri by a full twenty times, directly restoring two percent of its computing power!

"Looks like I'll have to have some fun with this famous detective in the future."

In the ward, Shinichi Kudo, who had just woken up after some treatment, couldn't help but sneeze loudly.

"Achoo! Who's talking about me?"

After rubbing my nose, I felt another wave of intense fatigue wash over me, and I drifted off to sleep.

At this moment, Genda Kawa sat cross-legged in the living room of the villa, and in his mental world, Tomoko was in the same position as him.

"The deduction begins!"

Soon, Zhizi completed the deduction. In her mental world, a huge screen appeared again, with a phantom figure standing on the water, holding a bright blue Nichirin Blade in its hand. Its features were blurred, with only a pair of blue eyes that radiated a lively halo.

Immediately, the figure gathered on the water's surface and began practicing sword techniques!

"Water Breathing First Form: Water Surface Slash!"

Chapter Thirty-Six: Three Sword Techniques

The illusory figure suddenly moved, its aura surging, exuding the fluidity of water breathing. Ripples of water flowed from its entire body, pouring into the Nichirin Blade in its hand, causing a pale blue halo to suddenly bloom on the blade.

It was as if a piece of dark, deep sea had been cut off, with waves rising within the small space of the sword blade. Genda River felt it, and the breath in his whole body flowed accordingly, his breath moving between his mouth and nose like a small vortex.

Throughout the living room, some of the lighter materials swayed slightly, as if a gentle breeze had entered the room.

At this moment, Genda's lungs were like a small bellows, pumping through the entire living room space. Such lung capacity was already extremely astonishing.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning rose up in his spiritual world. The azure lightning filled his pupils, but it was not lightning. Instead, it was a slash that was unleashed!

This is the first form of Water Breathing, Water Surface Slash!

This is the simplest strike among the Water Breathing sword techniques, but it is also the most concise and swift, much like the First Form of Thunder Breathing, Thunderclap Flash.

The simpler the trick, the quicker and more effective it is.

This water-surface slash, like a blue lightning bolt piercing the sky, brought a powerful and awe-inspiring feeling, causing Genda River's mind to tremble, as if he were being crashed by a raging torrent.

After completing its strike, the phantom withdrew its sword and began to prepare again. Countless transparent meridians, like electrified light filaments, appeared on its illusory body, revealing deeper changes in the circulation of its energy.
