Yuuki pulled back Hikawa Shin, who was about to help someone, and addressed the crowd.
Yuuki's words startled Hikawa Makoto. He thought about what had happened that afternoon and quickly accepted the result.
Kagami watched those people walk away, her expression turning grim.
"Steel Bug, why don't you answer my call?"
He looked up at the gloomy sky and felt that his heart was colder than ice in winter.
"It's been so many years since we've had an event with such a wide impact."
The boy's voice was faint in the crowd.
Shuhei Ijuin took out a carefully maintained notebook from his pocket and quickly began to write and draw on it.
Because the news of the death was so shocking, almost no one noticed Shuhei Ijuin's actions, except for Yuuki, who keenly glanced at the boy.
Then, without making a sound, he tugged at the Iceberg Letter.
Hikawa Shin looked at Yuuki, then followed his gaze to Ijuin Shuhei.
"Who is that person? How can someone so young join the team?"
The voice appeared in his mind, and Hikawa Shin immediately told Yuuki about Ijuin Shuhei's identity.
"Ijuin Shuhei's teacher was a famous physicist. His teacher was originally supposed to come here, but unfortunately, his teacher passed away not long ago."
"What a coincidence?"
Yu Xing was somewhat surprised.
“His teacher was almost 80 years old this year, so everyone can accept his sudden death.”
As the only one in the team who can transform, Shin Hikawa may be young, but his authority is by no means low.
"The old man was probably in good health before he passed away, right?"
Yu Xing asked again, and Bingchuan Xin nodded.
At this point, the possibility of Ijuin Shuhei murdering his teacher expanded infinitely in Yuuki's mind, and his vigilance towards Ijuin Shuhei reached its peak.
He hadn't forgotten that there was a traitor within their ranks!
"Don't worry, Ijuin Shuhei won't have any problems."
"Notice that Yuuki's eyes have become very dangerous," Hikawa Shin patted his chest and assured him.
"Based on my observation, Xiuping is exactly the same as before. There is probably no disguise in the world that can achieve this level of skill."
Do you remember what happened at the old Metropolitan Police Department headquarters?
Yuuki reminded Hikawa Shin, who nodded.
How could he not remember that alien insect insulting his hero?
“But Xiuping couldn’t be it.”
He still sticks to his own ideas.
“I’ve been with Xiuping for 13 years. Even if the alien insects replaced him, I would be able to tell immediately.”
"If he has any problems, I'll offer my head in return!"
Yuuki almost laughed at Hikawa Shin's childish promise. He didn't say anything, but just nodded at Hikawa Shin.
"I believe you, but now that we've discussed this matter, you'd better be careful, lest someone stab you in the back later."
Knowing that this was Yuuki's concern, Hyogoro nodded.
The group didn't stay long and soon returned to the hotel.
After washing her entire body with mineral water, Yuuki felt temporarily freed from the indescribable stench of blood.
After resting for a while, he arrived at the door of Zhenxia, where Gulin Xia and Zhen Hong stood guard like door gods.
"king."
Upon seeing Yuuki appear, the two saluted and stepped back.
"Go do what you want to do."
Yu Xing told the two of them to walk away, and he went up alone and gently knocked on the door.
After waiting for a while, there was no movement from inside the door, and a sense of unease suddenly welled up in Youxing's heart.
"Could something have happened? With Zhen Hong and the other two guarding the area, who could possibly break in?"
He paced back and forth for a moment, and then noticed the wall clock in the corridor, which was pointing to 11 o'clock.
This made him think of another possibility.
"It's so late, what if Manatsu is still sleeping?"
This was highly likely, and Yu Xing immediately felt much more at ease. He knocked on the door again, this time much louder.
But as time passed, there was still no movement from inside the door.
Finally, unable to bear the silence any longer, he took a deep breath and decisively opened the door in front of him.
Looking inside, it was pitch black, and the curtains were drawn, but this did not prevent Yuuki from observing the situation.
The room was very clean, with an empty lunchbox and some scraps of paper in the trash can.
Under the bed, a pair of white sneakers were neatly arranged, while on the bed, the quilt was piled high, rising and falling rhythmically.
Seeing this, Yuuki immediately felt relieved.
He walked over quietly and looked down from above. Manatsu's sleeping face was very peaceful.
The day's fatigue vanished instantly, and he chuckled softly.
"Looks like I'm the only one who's a night owl."
After confirming that Manatsu was safe, Yuuki did not disturb her rest, quietly left the room, and closed the door.
As soon as he stepped outside, someone approached him with a worried expression.
Chapter 130: Restore the Transformation?
Hikawa Makoto looked worried. He pulled Yuuki to the corner, then took out a pack of relatively clean cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to Yuuki.
Yu Xing declined: "Deputy Director Bingchuan, I'll pass on the cigarettes, but I can have a drink with you."
Bingchuan Cheng didn't say anything. After taking the cigarette back, he lit one and put it in his mouth.
"I didn't smoke back then, but later things got so complicated and chaotic that I had to use this method to relieve stress."
He exhaled, stubbed out the half-burnt cigarette, and looked at Youxing through the smoke before it completely dissipated.
"I've come to you this time because I need your help."
Without hesitation, Youxing nodded and agreed, "Okay."
This level of trust made Bingchuan Cheng cough twice. After a moment, he spoke, "Aren't you afraid of doing something heinous?"
"Deputy Director Bingchuan, words can deceive, but the heart cannot."
When Hikawa Makoto looked up, he found that Yuuki was staring straight at him.
"You can hear other people's thoughts? Isn't your special ability black flames?"
Hikawa Makoto was startled, thinking that Yuuki had other abilities.
"Of course not. If I had that ability, I would have found the mole in our team long ago."
"But I can hear your heartbeat. A person's heartbeat is different when they lie than when they are normal."
After multiple enhancements through locking and the watch head, Yuuki's current physical attributes are terrifying.
Even though he is currently in human form, he can easily exert several tons of force with a simple gesture, and his five senses are far beyond those of ordinary people.
"Tell me your request, and if I can help, I definitely will."
Yuuki's attitude reassured Hikawa Makoto somewhat. He said a little embarrassedly, "This place is related to that great battle. I want to see if we can find an opportunity for us to transform again here."
They chose to bring the team here partly out of a desire to rediscover their past.
Hikawa Makoto stared at the cigarette butt on the ground, his voice tinged with helplessness: "Although I will not waver in the slightest because of losing my ability to transform, there is still too little that can be done by relying solely on human strength."
Hikawa Makoto thought about the series of events that had occurred since entering Fuuto. Relying solely on the special bullets provided by the Metropolitan Police Department, they could only eliminate a very small number of enemies.
Yu Xing nodded happily: "I understand your concerns. Actually, I am also very curious about that great battle. If you can find some clues, I think I will definitely come."
With Yuuki's assurance, Hikawa Makoto relaxed considerably.
After all, things related to that great battle are not something ordinary people can get involved in; even the smallest details are extremely dangerous.
If there were other options, he wouldn't have thought of trying this at this time.
Having resolved his pressing matter, Hikawa Makoto thanked him and turned to leave. Yuuki stood there, staring at Hikawa Makoto's departing figure, without moving.
"Your Majesty, do you think there might be something wrong with him?"
Gu Linxia flashed to Youxing's side, and together they stared at Bingchuan Cheng who had turned the corner.
"What are you thinking? If there's something wrong with him, our team is doomed."
Yuuki felt that Kobayashi Natsumi was overthinking things. At present, the person he suspected most was Ijuin Shuhei.
"Then why haven't you made a move yet..."
Gu Linxia's questioning was interrupted by Youxing, who was somewhat speechless: "I haven't eaten anything all day. I was just thinking about what to eat tonight."
He strode forward, while Gu Linxia followed half a step behind Youxing, looking somewhat worried.
"Don't overthink it. You just need to protect Manatsu, and I'll take care of the rest."
Noticing Gu Linxia's emotions, Youxing stopped and patted him on the shoulder.
"But you are injured, and I am your bodyguard."
Gu Linxia had long noticed that Youxing's aura was unstable; otherwise, he wouldn't have hidden in the shadows to prevent anyone from harming Youxing.
"It's just a minor backlash from using my power during the day, nothing to worry about. With my constitution, this injury will heal quickly."
“Your Majesty…we cannot afford to lose another king.”
