Science Fiction: Starting from Obtaining Sophon

For a renowned detective to be frightened by a cat is truly humiliating. If it were a samurai from the old days, he would have committed seppuku.

"Sonoko, it's not because Kudo is cowardly, but because that cat is no ordinary cat. It's incredibly fast, no less so than those two monsters, and it's also very small, which is why I couldn't stop it."

Therefore, I suggest that once we return to the city, we should immediately take Kudo to Beika Hospital for a check-up. After all, Kudo has been getting injured almost as frequently as I have recently…”

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan's expression froze.

Genda was absolutely right; the two of them did indeed get injured at roughly the same frequency.

However, the difference is that Gendagawa was injured because of fighting. He fought to protect his mother from the yakuza and to fight monsters to protect everyone.

In comparison, Shinichi Kudo's injury was just too...unlucky!

This is the only word that can describe it.

He was mistaken for a suspect by the police and taken to the police station. During the chase, he was knocked unconscious and left on the road, resulting in a mild concussion. And now, because of a cat, he was scared unconscious again, and he has severe aftereffects.

After I woke up, I had a splitting headache!

All of this points to one thing: he's having a run of bad luck!

He thought to himself, "No, this absolutely can't go on. It seems the plan to go to Dorobiga Amusement Park will have to be postponed. I need to take Shinichi to the temple to pray for good fortune and get him a talisman."

"As I just told you all, please remember that everyone must keep quiet about the monster's appearance. I will contact the higher-ups at the Metropolitan Police Department to handle the monster's body..."

.......................................................

The so-called high-ranking official of the Metropolitan Police Department was none other than Kensaku Ashida.

The contact process was also very simple. Genda called Eri Kisaki, got the other party's phone number from her, and then dialed the other party's phone number directly to arrange a meeting.

In a corner of the café, Ashida Kensaku gently rested his chin on his hand, gazing at the young man before him. His usually sharp and menacing gaze was now devoid of much of its intensity.

The young man in front of me was truly astounding. Receiving his call was surprising enough, but the reason he asked me to come was even more astounding.

"Abnormal"

These three words, along with the name Genda River and a location, constitute the entirety of the phone call.

Ashida Kensaku also arrived immediately, which led to the meeting between the two.

"What an amazing young man! To be honest, I was quite surprised that you called me."

As he spoke, he slightly opened his arms and leaned back slightly, displaying a strong sense of confidence.

Genda smiled slightly: "Inspector-General Ashida, it's quite a compliment that I could surprise you."

The two exchanged a smile, but their understanding was unspoken.

“Your Excellency, before I say anything, I want to confirm one thing: I hope you are a trustworthy person. Although your answer doesn't prove anything, I expect a proud person wouldn't stoop to lying to a young man.”

Ashida Kensaku chuckled: "What an interesting young man. Are you asking me to prove my innocence? While I don't consider myself a particularly good person, as a police officer, I still have basic principles, and besides..."

His gaze turned serious as he said, "Furthermore, I genuinely hope you can cooperate with the government. As the inheritor of the Source God bloodline, you have awakened powerful abilities. Only by using these abilities for righteous purposes can you truly make them valuable."

This statement led Gendagawa to make his judgment.

..... ...... ...

"As expected, he has some understanding of the Origin God family and the Origin God bloodline. Moreover, it's quite obvious that he sees the source of my power in killing the bald mutant as the awakening of bloodline power."

This is understandable, as Eri Kisaki's expression changed when she learned he was a descendant of the Genda family at her law firm.

After taking the mutant's corpse, he would naturally conduct an investigation into himself.

70157

A useless, overweight otaku underwent a tremendous transformation in a short period of time and was even a descendant of the Source God bloodline. Thus, a simple deduction was made.

This guy must have hit the jackpot and awakened the power of a mutant!

Even with Eri Kisaki's account and the examination of the corpse, the conclusion that Gendagawa did not use the power of the mutants to kill the powerful enemy was reached, but this suspicion still lingered.

Genda smiled faintly: "Chief Inspector Ashida, I must clarify that my strength comes from swordsmanship and physique, not from mutation. My body is still a human body, completely different from those monsters."

As a family of Origin Gods, not awakening even a trace of that power is a regret for the family, but for me, it is a kind of luck.

A cold smile played on his lips: "Such a deformed and bizarre power, no matter how strong, is of no value to me."

The old era has ended, and the depletion of bloodlines is proof of its demise!

Whether they are mutants or monsters, I will use the sword in my hand to forge my own path! "Damn it!"

Chapter 140 Information Game

His words were passionate and inspiring, filled with an indomitable spirit!

Ashida Kensaku was slightly moved, seeing a reflection of himself in this young man. He nodded slightly, but then he suddenly thought of his past experiences, and an endless bitterness welled up in his heart.

The look in the other person's eyes became even more complicated.

The opponent, just like before, possessed an indomitable spirit, believing that with his outstanding abilities, he could continuously achieve victory and win more honors.

However, the battle with the mutants in the jungle became a turning point in his life and a source of inner demons.

The young man before me was in the same situation as me, or even worse.

Alone, he faced a powerful mutant accompanied by a woman, with no option to escape but to fight with all his might.

In the end, he actually won. He defeated his opponent, using the bone spurs on his body to pierce his head and completely end the enemy!

The thought of all this ignited a fire within him!

If I had had that ability back then, my teammates wouldn't have died, and they wouldn't have been chewed up and eaten by the monster!

Over the years, every time he recalls that scene, it twists his heart with extreme fear!

But this young man accomplished what I couldn't, and his heart must have been filled with complex emotions.

After calming himself down a bit, he was somewhat puzzled: "You really haven't changed? But if it weren't for the mutated power, how could your strength have changed so drastically in such a short time?"

Genda chuckled softly: "In this world, there will always be talents that cannot be understood. After the Genji Group was destroyed, I was once despondent, but one day, when I gripped the hilt of a sword, I suddenly realized that I was destined to be extraordinary, just like this."

He suddenly placed his palm flat on the table, then gently pinched the coffee spoon between his index and middle fingers, and then pointed his palm at Ashida Kensaku.

In an instant, Ashida Kensaku's expression changed drastically. He felt himself being locked onto by a strong, sharp force, and his combat instincts honed over many years of training allowed him to react swiftly.

But then his body stiffened, because he could feel that no matter how he dodged, he could not avoid the attack of the spoon.

Any movement would have far-reaching consequences, inevitably leading to a swift and devastating attack from the opponent!

"This is the pressure of aura, just like the Iaijutsu, where the aura is condensed and ready to be unleashed. For the opponent, at this moment, any movement will cause a change in their own state. This must require extremely profound swordsmanship to be able to unleash such a sword!"

The other person just held the small spoon between their fingers and quietly watched him.

It wasn't until a minute later that he put the spoon down again, and by then, Ashida Kensaku's back was soaked with sweat.

"Now, Superintendent Ashida, you should be able to believe me, right?"

Ashida Kensaku looked at him, feeling both annoyed and helpless. What a show of force!

However, considering what had just happened, she believed him. Such powerful swordsmanship, even if he wasn't a mutant, was practically on par with him.

Moreover, he felt a sense of relief, realizing that perhaps he truly didn't understand the world of geniuses.

That makes sense, though. The life of an ordinary person can't compare to the fleeting moment of a genius. That's the cruel truth of this world, and for most people, it's something they can't change; they can only accept it.

This conversation resolved one question, and Ashida Kensaku then raised another:

"I already understand that you know a lot about mutants, so you deliberately had Attorney Fei leak information and hand over the mutant's corpse to me. But it doesn't seem to have brought you any benefit, does it?"

His expression was solemn and serious, regaining the dignity of a senior superintendent, and his gaze was scrutinizing, as if he wanted to find the answer he was looking for in Gendagawa's face.

Genda said calmly, "Of course there are benefits. Just like now, if it weren't for this monster's corpse, given my current status, why would the Superintendent come to see me so easily, or speak to me so politely? Doesn't that speak volumes?"

Ashida Kensaku was taken aback for a moment, then laughed. It was a very realistic answer.

"So you deliberately had Attorney Fei leak this information to me?"

Genda nods: "Although I realized my talent when I wielded the sword, it takes time for talent to be transformed into strength. I learned some things about the Genshin family from a letter left by my father, and that's how I made my judgment."

"The Genji Group was such a behemoth, yet it vanished overnight. Clearly, dealing with the Genda family requires considerable power. After reading the letter, I guessed that those targeting the Genji Group were not only after coveting the Genda family's wealth, but also wanted to study the Genda family's bloodline."

"In other words, even if I obediently become a useless person, it's impossible for me to live in peace. Lord Ashida should know about my previous poisoning, right?"

The toxin was tested at a hospital under the Metropolitan Police Department's jurisdiction, so obtaining it would be effortless for the superintendent.

Ashida Kensaku did not deny this, nodding: "It is indeed a very potent poison. It is truly fortunate that you survived."

"Having made this judgment, I knew I couldn't run away anymore. At this moment, any escape would be foolish, so I made up my mind: since someone is making things difficult for me, I have no choice but to fight to the end."

That makes sense.

This explanation is intended to provide a perfect conclusion to Gendagawa's actions.

In the other person's mind, this also paints an image of someone who has been driven to a dead end and then begins to fight back, which makes sense.

"Detective Genda, thank you for your hard work. To be honest, it's still our police force that hasn't done a good enough job. But I hope you can understand. You may not realize just how powerful the forces behind them are, but I can only say that even the state apparatus sometimes has to yield to them."

Genda River was startled, but he quickly understood.

There's nothing strange about this. The foundation of these forces comes from the mythological era, and then they were baptized by the era of the Source Gods.

Their emergence predates modern state 2.5 by far!

Just like the saying goes, there are no empires that last for a thousand years, but there are aristocratic families that last for a thousand years, and even more so, there are religions that last for thousands of years!
