When Spider-Woman's Triangle Chuhua Meets Doctor Octopus Toyokawa Shoko

Volume 90: The Book of Fears: . Tragedy? Ensues

He could no longer bear the ravages of mutant beasts, so Xiangzi had no choice but to return to the factory area in downtown to survive.

"Refugees" like her who have no legal status in the downtown area cannot find jobs, so they can only try to make a living by picking up trash.

To the Toyokawa Group, the people of Shimotsu were gears and screws, while the refugees from outside Tokyo were nothing but mud of no use at all.

Although you can't find a stable supply in the factory area, the good news is that the security guards guarding the factory are probably too lazy to take care of themselves.

Now Xiangzi doesn't look like a Tokyo princess at all. If she returns to the upper city, she will be regarded as a beggar from nowhere.

But in this way, integrating into the downtown residents will not seem so abrupt.

As long as he could secretly take out some scrap parts from the factory, and rely on the knowledge and skills he learned from his father when he lived in the Fengchuan Building, he could improve his quality of life a little.

For example, trying to synthesize starch and protein using air.

This technology, which was almost created out of nothing, was the source of food for the people in the lower city. Xiangzi felt that even if he couldn't synthesize food on a large scale like in a factory, it shouldn't be difficult to feed himself and Mutsumi.

But what happened next was somewhat beyond her expectations.

I entered a factory and wandered around for a whole day, picking up a large box of fairly usable machine parts.

But just as he was about to leave, Xiangzi saw a young girl suddenly faint on the ground.

Overwork, almost sudden death...

Xiangzi could tell the other person's illness in an instant. She had seen too many people like this in recent days.

"Die? No, I won't let you die."

Xiangzi threw away the gains from his day of scavenging and jumped directly into the girl's workstation to check on her situation.

"There is still hope." Xiangzi took out his water bottle from his waist and fed some water to the other party who looked tired and weak.

In the lower city, even water is a scarce resource.

The half pot in his hand is Xiangzi's last clean water, but the good news is that the factory's wastewater only needs to be filtered twice and it is not drinkable for Xiangzi (although this water is highly toxic to ordinary people).

After half a pot of water flowed down her throat, the gray-haired girl looked a little better.

Xiangzi planned to take her to rest directly.

The supervisor nearby saw this but did nothing to stop it.

Xiangzi knew that he was doing him a favor. A cog like this must be more valuable to him alive than dead. And even if he really died, this bastard would definitely not bother to collect the body.

On the way to escort the girl home, Xiangzi learned her name.

Gao Song Deng, nice to listen to and easy to remember.

After careful consideration, Xiangzi decided to tell his true name.

Xiangzi didn't want to hide anything from her, especially his own life experience.

Otherwise, when the truth comes out, won't the other party blame you a hundred times for your momentary deception?

"My name is Toyokawa Shoko."

After saying this, Xiangzi stopped talking and just quietly waited for the other party's anger and hatred.

However, the lamp did not react at all, and remained unmoved even after Xiangzi reminded it that "this 'Fengchuan' is that 'Fengchuan'".

Now Xiangzi understood that Deng actually didn't know much about Tokyo, and she didn't even know the culprit who caused her tragic life.

Although he knew that he had no right to sympathize with others, Xiangzi still couldn't help feeling pity for them.

At least, with me by his side, Deng's living conditions will always be better than before.

So in the following days, Xiangzi lived with Deng, eating, living and sleeping with him.

Originally, Xiangzi thought that he might have to stay here for quite a long time until his father successfully defeated his grandfather.

But things always take unexpected turns.

On an ordinary day, Xiangzi's whereabouts were discovered.

It must be that the supervisor who had been pretending not to see him suddenly got the news from somewhere that the daughter of the Toyokawa family had been missing for a long time.

It didn't take much effort for Xiangzi to defeat the bodyguards who came to arrest him, but the existence of Mustumi was exposed to his grandfather, who had kept it a secret for more than ten years.

During her escape, Xiangzi carried a lamp with her because based on her current understanding of her grandfather, if she did not go back obediently, the old man would definitely arrest all the people involved and torture them to death in prison.

"We have to find a place for Tomori to go."

With this thought in mind, Xiangzi finally returned to the upper city after a long absence.

She found the Ichinose family, where the hostess was her friend and her father's supporter.

Originally, Xiangzi planned to leave immediately after handing the lamp to the other party to prevent his traces from implicating the other party.

But under Ms. Ichinose's persuasion, Xiangzi stayed for one night.

What happened that night proved that this choice was correct.

……

Xiangzi, who was temporarily staying at the Ichinose family's house, took a bath first and also helped Deng clean his body.

Because he had no conditions to wash for a long time, Xiangzi looked like a refugee from somewhere.

After taking care of the lamp, the other person's mental outlook also changed.

But Xiangzi felt even worse. Dengsheng was very pretty, but when she went to the city, her fair and translucent skin was covered by dust all day long.

"At least Tomori won't continue to live like that." Xiangzi thought.

……

Not long after, Xiangzi met Soyo.

A gentle and kind girl who seems to have no idea that evil is rampant throughout Tokyo.

But it’s better this way. Maybe soon she will be able to continue living in the new world created by her father with such a pure and beautiful heart.

However, subsequent developments far exceeded Xiangzi's expectations.

Ms. Ichinose was shot and killed by Soyo's father on the night she was staying there.

Based on the fragments he overheard, Xiangzi was able to roughly reconstruct the motive.

Soyo's father was a staunch supporter of his grandfather and had unquestionable loyalty to him.

This person seemed to have discovered that Soyo's mother was involved in a plan to betray the president, so he killed someone on impulse.

In any case, it was obvious that the Ichinose family could no longer stay there, so Xiangzi had to find another place for Deng.

No, it's not just the lights, now he has to bear the responsibility of Soyo's life as well.

-----------------

"Where should we go next..." This question troubled Xiangzi who was hiding in the safe house for a long time.

The difficulty of escaping to the lower city with Soyo and Deng would suddenly increase, and Soyo might not be able to endure the hardship of life in the lower city.

He could hide in the safe house prepared by Xiangzi for a long time, but hiding there forever was obviously not a solution.

When you are alive, you have to find something to do.

At this time, Deng picked up a newspaper that he got from somewhere.

Above is a photo of a granary.

"If... we get all of this down there, won't we be heroes?"

That's what the light said.

This one sentence gave Xiangzi an epiphany.

Before, I was just hiding and fleeing, and never thought that I could contribute to my father's plan.

But she is not a weak woman who can't do anything. She can use her own strength to attack and weaken the Fengchuan Group, while improving the lives of the people in the lower city and finding something to do.

And now Xiangzi is not alone, she has two like-minded partners.

"Then let us begin now. Let us begin to bring about a new order in Tokyo and indeed in the world."

……

After several actions, Fengchuan Group was really disgusted.

After recruiting a new member, Li Xi, from the lower city, the heroic group named "crychic" has grown bigger and stronger, becoming a group of thieves praised by the lower-class residents of Tokyo.

That period was the happiest time Xiangzi had since he ran away from home.

She originally thought that such days would continue until her father overthrew the Toyokawa Group.

However, it turns out that every time Xiangzi thought her life was stable, the world would bring her some different "surprises".

……

That day was an extremely ordinary night.

As usual, Xiangzi disguised himself and sneaked into the crowd in the upper city to purchase supplies. He also bought a newspaper, hoping to find crychic's next target from it.

But the front-page headline in the newspaper left Xiangzi stunned.

Doctor Octopus, the son-in-law of the former Toyokawa family, failed in his rebellion and was beheaded.

"No...impossible..."

Xiangzi couldn't believe it was true, but the pictures included in the report were so real... and bloody.

After feeling weak all over for a while, a fire began to burn in Xiangzi's heart.

)2 The raging fire called "hatred" was ignited.

There was no doubt that the being he once called grandfather - Kingpin, was too powerful and no one could compete with him.

So how should I take revenge now?

"I can't take revenge now."

After careful consideration, Xiangzi came to this conclusion.

Even my father, who had been planning for a long time, couldn't defeat the monster, so if I jumped on it now, I would definitely die.

Xiangzi was only fifteen years old at the time, and could not compare to his father in terms of knowledge, strength or connections.
