From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

Even through the sunglasses, Natsukawa could see the little stars in Kamio Hitomi's eyes... This plot is simply amazing.

"Ah, it's okay..." She realized the situation after a few seconds and said hurriedly shaking her hands.

"Then..." The man let go of the gangster's wrist, and he fell to the ground in a mess. He was then supported by his two accomplices. He said some harsh words that didn't threaten him at all, and slipped away in a dusty state.

The man smiled and nodded to Kamio Hitomi, preparing to leave, but she hurriedly stopped him: "Ah~ um, thank you very much...um, can I buy you a cup of coffee? As a thank you?"

"Actually, you don't have to...Okay, but I'll treat you anyway." The man said. "It's a crime to let a beautiful lady like you treat us."

Xia Chuan was completely speechless. He stood there and hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to fulfill his responsibility. Should he continue to be a light bulb, or interfere with the date that had just begun?

By the way, does this really require him to show up?

He sighed and watched the two people walk towards a nearby nice coffee shop. He hesitated whether to follow them in, but he saw from a distance the three thugs who had just been there were also looking at them across the street.

You're actually looking for death?

"Looks like Kondo is going to succeed again?" Just as he was walking towards the three guys, ready to teach them a real lesson, he heard them say this. "The clothes this woman is wearing are all branded. She must be a rich girl or the wife of some old man. She should be able to make a lot of money, right?"

"In the end, we will lose money and have to accompany others." The guy whose wrist was pinched said unhappily. "Let's go. There won't be anything for us to do later."

"Wait a minute." A voice said at this time, and then the three of them lost consciousness almost at the same time.

Chapter 228 An unexpected date

How long has it been since I felt this excited?

Looking at the gentle and polite man who was talking opposite her, Kamio Hitomi felt very strange.

On the one hand, from his appearance to his conversation to his profession and personality, this man perfectly matched her aesthetic taste in almost every aspect, which was like a miracle. But on the other hand, for some reason, the longer she sat with him, the more she felt vaguely irritated, as if there was a force in her body telling her that this was not the right person.

How can it be?

As if she was refuting her best friend who was not optimistic about her relationship, Hitomi Kamio said to herself in her heart.

Open your eyes and take a good look. What is wrong with him?

You are already this age, are you really going to never fall in love or get married? At this age, it is rare to meet the right person, so shouldn’t you make some contact with the other person, even if it’s just for courtesy?

"Um... Miss Kanzaki, sorry, I'm going to the bathroom." The man named Kondo suddenly said.

"Eh? Go ahead." Hitomi Kamio said hurriedly.

For some subtle reason, she did not tell the other party her real identity at first, but instead made up a pseudonym called "Kanzaki Hitomi". However, even so, after sitting face to face for such a long time, he really didn't discover my true identity?

Kamio Hitomi couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Although she had claimed many times in public interviews that she didn't want to date someone in the industry or her fans, if the other party really didn't know her... How could this be possible! I'm Kamio Hitomi!

At this moment, a strange man suddenly sat down opposite her, which scared her and she almost screamed.

"Ms. Kamio, please calm down! I am a police officer and I am here to help you." Fortunately, the man immediately showed her his ID and placed a file bag on the table and moved it to her side.

"You are..." Although she didn't see the other party's ID clearly, such words at least calmed her down. Strangely enough, the man opposite who claimed to be a policeman also perfectly matched her aesthetic taste. Even his clothes seemed to be matched according to her interests. She had been vaguely irritated before, but for some reason, it suddenly disappeared after this man appeared.

"I'm Inspector Takaya Kinoshita of the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Section 4. Please take care of me." Although he was reluctant, in order to dispel Kamio Hitomi's doubts as soon as possible, Natsukawa had to hand over the fake business card he had made on the spot.

The ink hasn't completely dried yet, but after all, she is not that Kamio Hitomi, so she shouldn't be able to tell the difference to this extent?

"Yes." Kamio Hitomi's expression changed again. "Please take care of me. But?"

Although I don't know what the so-called Investigation Section 4 does, but Superintendent should be a very high-ranking police rank? But why would such a person suddenly appear in this place?

If Mr. Kondo came back and saw this scene, would he have any bad associations?

At Natsukawa's signal, Kamio Hitomi had to pick up the file bag in front of her and take out the documents inside.

Then her eyes suddenly widened.

There were several files inside, and the one on top was Kondo, who had just sat opposite her!

And aren’t those people behind her the thugs who tried to harass her before and were driven away by Kondo?

What is this? !

"Ms. Kamio, as you can see, they are in the same group," Natsukawa said.

If the person in front of him was not Kamio Hitomi, he would not have to go through so much trouble. However, in order to fulfill his promise, he has done his best.

After interrogating the thugs and confirming their identities and criminal records, he began to think about how to solve this problem.

Of course, it would be the most convenient and simplest way to just let Akasaka capture these guys, but if he did that, Akasaka would inevitably suspect the relationship between Kamio Hitomi and the Skeleton Society.

Killing these guys directly is also a way to deal with it, but in that case, Kamio Hitomi will not give any explanation at all.

Since he came here today to fulfill the agreement, he should at least stand on Kamio Hitomi's side and make things come to an end.

So, he asked Asakawa Manabu to hack into the Metropolitan Police Department's database, copy the information of these guys, send it to him, and then find a place nearby to print it out, and also print business cards according to the police standard. As for the inspector's ID, it was made temporarily with magatama after looking at the standard real thing. Not to mention Kamio Hitomi, even the police couldn't tell the real thing from the fake.

"And..." He put the phone he had just snatched from the guy in the toilet on the table and clicked on the video saved in it.

There were several files full of secretly taken images of Kamio Hitomi, even some that the guy had taken under her skirt when she wasn't paying attention.

The guy had been knocked unconscious and locked in the innermost cubicle of the toilet. It was obvious without interrogation that this guy had already figured out Kamio Hitomi's identity. These videos were either intended to be used to blackmail her in the future or to make a profit.

With Kamio Hitomi's identity, such a video would definitely bring huge topicality whether it was sold to unscrupulous media or uploaded to the Internet. Of course, this guy must have made a better plan, but he was solved by Natsukawa before he could implement it.

Hitomi Kamio glanced at the phone screen curiously, and the next moment, she was suddenly confused and subconsciously used her body to block the phone. Tears began to well up in her eyes, sweat soaked her clothes, and her hands began to tremble slightly.

"Ms. Kamio, don't be nervous. Since I'm here, it means that the matter is over." Seeing her look, Xiachuan had to grab one of her hands and whispered to comfort her. "My colleagues have caught them all. I came here to tell you that the matter has been resolved. We will not keep these videos. Do you need me to help you solve it completely right away?"

Kamio Hitomi nodded subconsciously.

Xia Chuan then disassembled the phone with his bare hands, took out the memory card, crushed it on the table in front of her, and then put the fragments and the phone into a glass of water in front of her.

"No one can recover the data here," Xia Chuan said. "We will handle this case properly, and no one will know that this happened. You can rest assured that it will not cause any harm to you."

"But... aren't these evidence?" Kamio Hitomi came to her senses and suddenly realized this.

"It doesn't matter. We have collected a lot of other evidence, enough to put them in jail." Xia Chuan said. "Then... do you want me to take you back?"

In this case, the date was definitely a failure. Natsukawa felt that he had completed his mission and was about to leave, but Kamio Hitomi suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute! Um... Mr. Kinoshita!"

"Ok?"

"I'm still very confused and scared. Um, although it's rude, but could you please stay with me for a while? Please!"

What's happening here?

It was only then that Xia Chuan realized that although he had not been able to complete the simple task of saving the beauty from the gangsters, but... the current situation seemed to be...

He hesitated for a moment, then sat down again. "It's okay. As long as it makes you feel at ease, it's okay to stay with you for as long as you want. This is also part of our job."

Kamio Hitomi suddenly realized that staying in this place would be problematic, so she hurriedly picked up her bag and stood up: "Sorry, Mr. Kinoshita, shall we go somewhere else?"

The date started suddenly, but Xia Chuan was not sure whether it should be considered a date.

The two chatted while walking in a nearby park, and later went to another coffee shop.

Hitomi Kamio asked carefully about those guys, as if she wanted to find out whether the incident would have any impact on her. Natsukawa had to temporarily learn about the Metropolitan Police Department's handling process of similar cases from Asakawa Manabu, and explain it to her, and also revealed some circumstances of similar cases to her.

What these guys are doing is nothing new.

They look for targets, rescue them by acting as a hero, get to know them, gain their favor, pursue them, establish a relationship, and then start borrowing money from them for various reasons and ask them to act as guarantors for them. After extorting all the financial resources and potential of the victim, they disappear and leave.

Depending on the victim's reaction, they may even brainwash and mentally control the victim, tricking her into taking drugs and asking her to borrow high-interest loans. Some victims are even forced to work in the sex industry, and their lives are completely ruined.

Of course, with Kamio Hitomi's identity, even if she was not possessed by the demon fox, it would be difficult for the other party to reach this step. However, because of her identity, the other party can gain huge benefits without doing this, and her final result is still likely to be the loss of both life and wealth.

Of course, Hitomi Kamio didn't know that as long as she could survive until the night, a certain existence would take action to solve the problem. Even if she was really in danger, that guy would forcibly take over her body and solve the problem.

She was filled with fear that she had almost fallen into such a terrible trap. Naturally, she was full of gratitude to the policeman who sat opposite her, patiently explained things, accompanied her, encouraged and comforted her, and rescued her from such a terrible fate without her knowing it. With the help of a certain existence in her body, she quickly developed some subtle feelings for him.

"Um... Mr. Kinoshita, we..."

Xia Chuan gradually felt that the situation was not good. Things seemed to be rapidly developing in a direction he did not want to see, which forced him to make the decision to escape immediately.

"Ms. Kamio, it's almost time. Do you want me to take you home? Or should I contact your agent and assistant and ask them to come over?"

"Ah? Mr. Kinoshita, are you going back?" Kamio Hitomi suddenly became a little depressed. "I would like to ask you..."

"Next time." Xia Chuan said casually.

"Then...can I call you?" asked Hitomi Kamio expectantly.

"Of course..." Xiachuan was a little embarrassed, because the phone number on the business card actually belonged to Asakawa Manabu.

"Well, thank you very much! Although it was a little thrilling, I had a great time today!"

"Really? That's great." Xia Chuan sighed slightly. He couldn't help but start to wonder if this was planned by Kamio Hitomi, but how could she make those guys show up? If she could plan this far, it would be too scary!

However, he did his best to fulfill his promise. That guy should have no reason to bother him with this matter again, right?

Chapter 229 The So-Called Reason

“Kamio Hitomi!!!” As expected, the agent screamed the moment he saw Kamio Hitomi, but Kamio Hitomi was already accustomed to such situations. She smiled shamelessly and covered up the fact that she ran away.

"It's okay if you run away, but at least answer the phone and let us know where you've been! Oh~ You're really making me so mad! Aren't you afraid of being surrounded by fans? Aren't you afraid of running into some perverts?"

Her words immediately reminded Hitomi Kamio of the bad guys she met today, but after the whole afternoon, she no longer had any fear of those guys. The only person she could think of at this moment was the person who had been with her the whole afternoon, who looked helpless but still patiently answered all her questions.

In fact, she didn't care what he answered. For her, what was important was the fact that he responded seriously to every question she asked.

What a gentle person!

"Kamio Hitomi?!!"

"Sister, do you know what level of position a police inspector is?"

"Why are you asking this?" the agent asked warily.

"Please tell me!"

"That depends on how old you are."

"Age? Probably early thirties?"

"That should be the so-called professional group. It has a promising future within the police force, right? What's wrong? Do you know anyone there?" The agent became more alert.

It is not uncommon for Japanese female stars to suddenly get married after meeting the right person when they reach Kamio Hitomi's age. However, as the company's star, Kamio Hitomi can even be said to be a savior after so many things happened last year that led to a serious decline in overall performance. If she suddenly falls in love and gets married... that would be a huge event!

"No, I'm just asking."

Kamio Hitomi carefully pressed her hand on her backpack and answered guiltily.

#####

"My Lord God, I just received a strange text message..." Asakawa Manabu suddenly sent a message through magatama.

"Text message?" Xia Chuan felt a little guilty.

"The name is Kamio Hitomi, and...she calls me 'Mr. Kinoshita'." Asakawa Manabu said calmly. "What do you want me to do?"

Hey, you're texting so soon? I haven't even had time to reach a consensus with Kamio Hitomi on fulfilling my promise.

Aren’t Japanese women said to be passive and reserved?

"Tell her you're busy and contact her another day," Xia Chuan said. "Also, if you receive text messages or phone calls from this number in the future, handle it this way."

"Yes. Then what is my identity?"

"Inspector Takashi Kinoshita of Investigation Section 4." Natsukawa felt more and more guilty.

"I understand." Asakawa Manabu replied, and then fell into silence.

Xiachuan began to have a headache. After a moment, he finally used the amulet given to Kamio Hitomi to send a trace of his spiritual power to see what she was doing.

"What? Why did you suddenly become so cold?" Kamio Hitomi must have just taken a shower. She wrapped her hair with a towel and lay on the bed playing with her cell phone.

But in fact, she was just reading text messages, and in front of her was the business card that Xia Chuan had given her earlier.

If she was avoided, would she run to Investigation Section 4 with this business card to find Inspector Kouya Kinoshita?

Natsukawa suddenly had a headache, so after hesitating for a while, he quietly slowed down the blood supply to Kamio Hitomi's brain, causing her to fall asleep without realizing it.

"This is not a friendly thing to do." More than ten minutes later, he finally entered Kamio Hitomi's dream, and waiting for him there was, of course, a fox demon with a strange expression and a half-smile on her face.

"You are not ashamed to say that. What happened during the day? Did you arrange for those people to come?"

"You overestimate me." Kamio Hitomi shook her head. "I didn't plan for such an encounter, but this is much more interesting than what I planned. Didn't you have a good time too?"

"I have fulfilled my promise." Xia Chuan said.
