Is there anyone who really wants to be a partner of justice?

Mai felt uncomfortable with this question and couldn't help but say, "It's better not to ask this kind of question... It's really a blessing in disguise that Youxia is still alive..."

Shinichi looked at the soft-tempered Mai and sighed helplessly: "Mai, being kind all the time will not accomplish anything. We are here to solve problems, not to create them. If we don't understand the whole story and selectively ignore some obvious doubts, we will be throwing ourselves into a dead end."

"Ugh... okay..."

"Then let's continue. Why didn't Wang She succeed in killing Quan Youxia even though he had a gun? Logically speaking, Wang She had plenty of time to shoot Youxia again after the store manager found out the situation from the kitchen, but... why didn't he shoot again?"

Was it the King Snake's negligence? Or was the King Snake soft-hearted in the end, planning to forgive like a psychopath wrote a plot?

Shinichi's question really made everyone fall into deep thought again.

Finally, Akiyama Li gave a guess: "Maybe...it's torture?"

"Torture..."

"Yes, maybe Wangshe thought that it would be too easy to kill Quan Youxia with just a few shots. He wanted to temporarily keep Quan Youxia alive, let her experience pain, and finally be tortured to death by him slowly..."

Akiyama Li's idea was quite creepy, and Mai couldn't help but shrink her neck, but it was indeed reasonable and convincing, and it was indeed the mentality of an Avenger.

"If it wants to torture, the king cobra may not attack Izumi Tomoka just once... he should continue to attack Izumi Tomoka." Takano also gave his opinion.

This view surprised Mai, and she quickly said, "Then we must find someone to look after Youxia in the hospital! After all... after all, we still need to ask Youxia some questions, right..."

After going through so much, Mai finally began to learn not to rely solely on her own wishful thinking to convince others to agree with her, but to use reason to persuade them.

Gao Ye also nodded and said, "Indeed, we need to find someone to watch over Youxia in the hospital... Is there anyone willing to go to the hospital with us?"

"I forget it." Kitaoka, who had no feelings for Izumi Tomoka, simply waved his hand, patted his butt and was about to leave. "I've been running around with you guys for long enough today. I was supposed to have a date... Hey, Shijun, there's still time. Do you want to go out for dinner with me~"

Kitaoka still couldn't forget his date, so he put his arm around Shinichi's waist and asked him affectionately, but Shinichi waved his hand to refuse, which made Kitaoka quite unhappy.

With an unhappy mood, Kitaoka yelled angrily: "Humph, all right, you go and look at your maid-dressed coffee girl, I'll go back to my company and make hundreds of thousands a second!"

Then, he got in his stretch car and drove away.

Among the rest of the people, Takano and Mai naturally agreed without hesitation, and after hesitating for a while, Akiyama Li also chose to go.

Finally, the four of them accompanied the store manager to the ambulance and escorted Youxia into the operating room. Several hours passed while the operation was being performed...

"Gululu..."

Mai curled up in a chair in front of the operating room, smelling the pungent smell of disinfectant that always permeated the hospital, feeling the protest from her stomach, and sighed bitterly.

"Two of you? Let's eat something."

Just when Mai was about to continue to be hit, Akiyama Li came up to Mai with a bunch of cheap rice balls bought from 711- stores.

"Woo! Thank you! Miss Lian!"

After getting the food, Mai immediately started to eat voraciously, finishing the rice balls in front of her in small bites. She said she would eat two, but in the end she ate more than twelve.

Not far away, Shinichi was chewing a piece of chocolate while fiddling with the disinfectant bottle in the aisle out of boredom.

"Mr. Kadoya, you seem to like chocolate very much. I noticed that the mocha and chocolate mousse you ordered at the coffee shop all contain chocolate."

"Hmm. I do like chocolate, I like the taste of chocolate. If I eat chocolate alone, I prefer dark chocolate with a concentration of more than 50%. It has a lower sweetness but can neutralize the bitterness. However, it should not exceed 80%, otherwise it will be too bitter."

"Oh? Then Mr. Kadoya is quite particular about chocolate."

Shinichi picked up the chocolate and said to Takano, "For me, chocolate cannot be without bitterness. Chocolate without bitterness will lose its soul, but it cannot be without sweetness. Chocolate without sweetness is too extreme.

Just like life, bitterness is always the main tone, but there is a hint of sweetness to alleviate the bitterness. And in the end, what is left is a heaviness. "

Takano listened to Shinichi's chocolate theory with great interest, and asked curiously, "In that case, Mr. Shi, do you think your life is also based on bitterness?"

"Well... almost. But, although there is always bitterness, there are also many happy and joyful moments."

As Shinichi said this, he couldn't help but think of the few days he had traveled to this world, or rather, ever since he traveled through time, he felt extremely relaxed and comfortable.

If his time travel was really controlled by someone behind the scenes, without saying anything else, after meeting him, Shinichi really wanted to thank him.

After all, since it can bring him so much happiness and allow him to experience such a relaxing and enjoyable role-playing game after his death, even if the other party really has some plans against him, for the sake of his own happiness, Shinichi is willing to help.

Come to think of it... this copy is like this too. Although people like Akiyama Li in this world would feel how desperate it is to be trapped in a time loop like this, Shinichi, as an outsider, is not worried about all this. He can even drink coffee, eat dessert and listen to music comfortably in the coffee shop.

Thinking of this, Shinichi couldn't help but think of Izumi Tomoka. In fact, even if Izumi Tomoka's identity was exposed, Shinichi still treated this girl... or rather, a lady.

Shinichi still had no ill will towards a lady of this age, but apart from anything else, the chocolate cake and mocha coffee of Izumi Yukazu tasted really good, whether it was the non-cloying sweetness or the perfect burnt bitterness, they all hit the sweet spot of Shinichi's taste buds.

Not only that, but he also has a taste in music that is inexplicably in tune with Shinichi's. Every time Shinichi goes to a coffee shop, the music played is always the kind that Shinichi likes, and he can even hear a classic hit that he particularly likes.

As for appearance and figure, needless to say, excluding Ai and Kiba Kaoru, Izumi Tomoka should be the type of girl who can best reflect Shinichi's preferences, healthy, plump, well-proportioned, and full of vitality.

Shinichi even found it hard to imagine that a girl who was completely developing towards her strike zone was actually an old person who had lived for decades.

Either this woman's acting skills are a little too good, or she is an old naughty girl who is still young and playful at heart after decades.

But no matter which one it is, Shinichi couldn't help but feel a pity in his heart, oh... such a good girl... how could she be an old bitch inside...

Just when Shinichi was feeling secretly disappointed, the door of the operating room finally opened, and a doctor with tired eyes, sweating all over his face, took off his mask and walked out.

Seeing this, Mai quickly stepped forward and asked, "Doctor! Doctor! How is Youxia now?"

The doctor wiped his sweat and said, "The patient is very lucky. The bullets all hit the vital parts, but he still lost too much blood. Although he is relatively stable now, his brain has been deprived of oxygen for too long. If he wants to wake up from the coma... it may take a long time."

Is this... going to become a vegetable?

Chapter 122: Akiyama Li's Question

"Drip...drip...drip..."

In the ward, the heart rate monitor was flashing coldly, and Quan Youxia was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with her and no connection with her.

At this moment in the ward, except for Izumi Tomoka who was lying on the bed and didn't know when she would wake up, Mai and others were sitting around with their own worries.

Shinichi scratched his head and shrugged, "It seems that the clues are broken again... It can't be said that they are broken, at least we basically understand the whole picture, right? It's just that Quan Youxia's accident has deprived us of an opportunity to contact Odin..."

Gao Ye also nodded: "With Quan Youxia's current situation, we have also lost the channel to learn about Odin's news..."

"Hmm... I don't think so..." Shinichi touched his chin and muttered, "Don't forget, many of our secrets were discovered under the guidance of Quan Youxia. I personally guess that she has the idea of ​​helping us...

Moreover, we have already mentioned to Youxia that the king snake was looking for her. Did she have any idea of ​​the possibility of the king snake? In other words, did she consider the possibility of not beating the king snake?

If this is the case, let's think about it from another perspective. If I were Quan Youxia, and I wanted to explain what I wanted to explain in the event of an accident, how would I explain it? "

For a moment, everyone in the ward fell into deep thought, except for Mai, who was sitting next to the bed. She was holding her head, her brain was a little overloaded.

"Wow... This feels... so... confusing. My brain can't wrap its head around it."

Apparently, in this peak IQ competition, a black iron player accidentally sneaked in.

After thinking for a while, Gao Ye suggested, "Why don't we go to Youxia's residence? She was late this morning. Was it really just a simple matter of setting the alarm too late? Maybe she left something at home..."

After everyone looked at each other, they all felt that this possibility was more likely.

"Then there's nothing we can do. Let's leave one person here to watch over Quan Youxia, and the others can go to Youxia's house. The question now is, who will watch over Youxia?"

Zhenyi immediately raised her hand enthusiastically and said, "I'll do it, I'll do it!"

"Veto." Shinichi vetoed without hesitation.

"Hey! Why!?"

"Because you are too partial to Youxia, Mai, and I asked you to watch over her. If Youxia wakes up, it will be troublesome if you let her go. Also, you are a little soft-hearted, which will not give you an advantage against the king snake."

"Woo... I... I can still restrain the king snake!"

In response to Mai's stubbornness, the other people all looked at her with some disbelief, which dealt a heavy blow to Mai. She could only sit back dejectedly with a pout.

"Let me do it." After Mai gave up helplessly, Akiyama Li, who had been silent the whole time, raised her hand and volunteered: "I'll take care of it."

Seeing Akiyama Li volunteering, Shinichi approached her curiously and asked, "Do you have the confidence to deal with the king snake?"

Qiu Shanli nodded calmly: "Yes, I won't say anything else. I have fought him several times, and I am very familiar with dealing with him."

Wow, is this the calmness of a multi-game player?

After thinking about it for a while, Shinichi agreed to let Akiyama Li stay.

As for Takano, although she didn't know how strong Akiyama Li was, one thing was certain, that is, he was definitely not suitable to watch Izumi Tomoka. The reason was that he was too weak and couldn't deal with the King Snake at all.

Mai couldn't deal with King Snake because of her soft-hearted personality, but there was absolutely no problem with the knight's stats and his own strength. And Takano was really crushed by King Snake in all aspects.

Therefore, Takano has a clear positioning of himself, that is, as the head of a team, he makes a living by his brain rather than by force.

Takano himself is not suitable, Mai is not suitable, so the only suitable ones are Shinichi and Akiyama Li. Takano originally wanted Shinichi to stay, but Akiyama Li volunteered and got Shinichi's approval, so let's just believe it for now.

"Then let's arrange it this way. Thank you for troubling Miss Lian. Kadoya Shi, Mai, let's set off without further ado."

As a man of action, Takano didn't say anything. He just stood up, patted his body, and spoke to the three people. Shinichi and the other two nodded, and then left Akiyama Li and followed Takano out of the hospital.

Akiyama Li, who was sitting in the ward, watched the three people leave and waited for a while. Only after she saw Shinichi and the other two walking away downstairs from the window sill of the ward did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, with a complicated expression, she came to Quan Youxia's bedside, looked at her with a pale face due to blood loss and wearing a ventilator, and frowned slightly.

Almost everyone was surprised that Quan Youxia's identity was exposed. No one would have thought that this coffee shop employee who loved to laugh and play with them day and night was actually a cult leader and an accomplice of the final boss Odin.

Among all the people, the most surprised person was not necessarily Mai, who was good friends with Youxia, but Akiyama Li, who had little contact with Youxia.

Because, in the countless reincarnations she experienced, she had never noticed the identity of Izumi Tomoka. It was not that Akiyama Li was too slow, but that she really had not investigated it, nor had she thought about investigating it.

Because, in the countless reincarnations she experienced, in most of them, Hana Meng, who was transformed by Izumi Tomoka, was always a background board within a background board. She never took the initiative to participate in the knight wars, and worked as a coffee shop clerk with a smile on her face.

Then, because he did not take the Knight War seriously, he eventually paid the price for his carelessness in the brutal struggle and became one of the first few sacrifices in the Knight War, and remained among the first five knights to die forever.

Izumi Tomoka, who is a cannon fodder among cannon fodders from any perspective, actually allowed Takano and others to investigate her true identity in this reincarnation.

This was difficult for Qiu Shanli to understand, but in the midst of the difficulty, there was a hint of rationality, which made her unable to help but have some assumptions and doubts in her heart. She stood in front of the bed and asked him, "You are acting like this now, are you doing it on purpose?

You gave me that card, right? Since Odin asked you to keep the survival card, you must be the one who gave it to me, right? It was you who guided me to do all this, and it was you who made me reincarnate again and again.

I don't believe that you, who led all this, were simply shot by King Snake like this, lying on the hospital bed like this and letting others bully you... Tell me! Are you doing this on purpose? Tell me! What else do you plan to do!"

Akiyama Li grabbed the collar of Quan Youxia, who was lying on the bed. No matter how she questioned, the woman on the bed never made any movement, as if everything except her was unimportant...

"Damn it! Quan Youxia! In so many reincarnations, the flower dream you transformed into was always the first knight to die. No one even found out your relationship with Odin. Why! Why did you suddenly become important this time!?

In so many reincarnations, you have always been the weak knight who has no special features, joined the knight war with a smile, and then paid the price for your contempt. But this time, you took the initiative to reveal your identity?

You remember everything! Right! You actually remember everything! Yes, you were the one who gave me that card, you must remember everything... But you never told me in so many reincarnations, only this time you showed it to me...

What is so special about this reincarnation! It makes you…"

At this point, Akiyama Li was suddenly stunned, and then she reacted instantly. Is there anything special about this reincarnation?

Yes, it's very special. The most special thing is the Kadoya Kazuya who came in halfway. Before this, the dark side of Mai, Kamen Rider Decade, has never appeared!

Akiyama Li quickly questioned Izumi Yuka: "Kadoya Shi... Yes, your target is actually Kadoya Shi! Right! Did you let him appear, or was it his appearance that made you decide to reveal your identity? What exactly do you want to do with him!?"

"Drip...drip...drip..."

No one responded to Akiyama Li's question. The only sound in the ward was the cold, mechanical sound of the heart rate monitor...

Chapter 123 Otaku Happy House

"Squeak..."

With a harsh sound of door frame friction, Shinichi and the other two opened the door of Izumi Yuka's house.

It was already night. Facing the dark apartment, Shinichi touched the light switch next to the door. After pressing it, the bright light finally dispelled the darkness in the apartment.

As the lights in the apartment were turned on, the three of them could finally see the interior decoration of the apartment.

"What...are all these..." Mai couldn't help but wonder as she looked at the apartment in front of her which was dazzling with all kinds of sundries piled together.

The apartment was not big, but it contained a lot of stuff. There were six bookshelves in total. Some of them were filled with various Gundam models that made countless model geeks jealous, while others were filled with various animation OVAs.

In addition to these, Shinichi went forward to search and found that in addition to these, the bookshelf was actually filled with music albums, which included a wide variety of genres, but surprisingly Shinichi recognized them all.

"Daft Punk's "Fragments of Time"... David Bowie's "Morden Love"... Roy Obispo's "In Dreams"... The King of Hats, Susumu Hirasawa, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Yoko Kanno... Wow, haha, such a music enthusiast? The albums and records on this bookshelf are enough to buy at least an apartment..."

"Hmm...is this also an album?" Mai took out a disc from another bookshelf. The cover showed a man and a dog walking together against a gray background.

Shinichi only took a glance and immediately figured out what the object was.

"That's a movie disc. It's a Greek movie called Eternity and a Day, directed by Angelopoulos."

"An... An An what Lof?"

"Ah~ Angeloplov, it doesn't matter if you can't remember him. His movies are relatively niche and most people can't bear to watch them. But I think they're pretty good... um... this bookshelf is full of movie discs..."

Shinichi picked through them and found that he knew almost all of them, so he took one out and handed it to Mai, saying, "You should know this one, and you should like it~"

Mai was slightly stunned and glanced at the cover of the disc: "Wow... Seven Samurai! Yes! I love this movie so much!"
