Chapter 146 36: Charm Girl

It was a moonless night, with thick clouds and no stars to be seen, and the sky was as dark as ink.

A dark corner of Osaka Castle Park.

A man in a short-sleeved shirt and covered with tattoos had terrified eyes, but could only whimper.

Because the vines kept extending from the old tree behind him, tightly entangled his mouth and throat.

Right in front of the man lifted by the vines stood a woman. The faint city light that penetrated here could only vaguely illuminate her red dress and the flower mask that covered the upper half of her face.

The woman showed a charming smile and parted her red lips: "Good boy, don't play with food."

After she finished speaking, the vines twisted as if they understood, and then gradually grew sharp thorns, like terrible thorns, piercing deeply into the man's body.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The man's eyes widened, his struggle became more violent, and his body shook continuously.

The thorns greedily sucked his blood, as if they had turned into blood vessels outside his body, bright red in color.

But this wonderful dining time is about to be broken.

Not far away, there was a swaying light and the faint barking of dogs, approaching.

"Tsk, it's in the way."

The woman in the red dress frowned, looking at the man in front of her whose eyes were gradually becoming empty. She waved her hand gently, and the thorny vines quickly gathered into the ordinary tree. The man fell limply to the ground, his body full of holes still bleeding.

She looked at the lights that were surrounding her, gave a mocking smile, turned around, and disappeared into the air without a trace.

"Woof woof! Woof woof!"

"The target has been found, spread out the search immediately."

"Protect the scene and send the target to emergency treatment. We must not let him die!"

"Notify headquarters, the 'Charm Girl Case' is basically confirmed to be related to the extraordinary, requesting support."

"The Charm Girl Case?"

On a special passenger plane.

Shirai Kyoko repeated the strange phrase in a low voice.

Yumi Takashima nodded and said that she would be responsible for leading the support operation this time.

"This is a serial disappearance case. The people targeted are all local gang leaders and high-ranking officials. The few witnesses mentioned that the missing person left with a very attractive woman and then completely disappeared. No one has ever seen him since."

"After sorting out the clues, we found that the other party had started committing crimes in September, and the means were magical. These gang leaders who had seen countless beauties were all like young people who were easily provoked and followed them impatiently. Therefore, we suspected that this woman had extraordinary abilities."

Shirai lowered his head, as if thinking about something.

"I know these gang members deserved to die." Takashima could roughly guess what Shirai was thinking, "but do you approve of lynching?"

Shirai pinched the corner of his clothes and immediately shook his head.

She couldn't possibly approve of lynching, otherwise, she felt that she was no different from Hirosue Yoshimiya.

"Didn't you take any pictures of her?"

"Every time she appears, she wears a flower mask and a long red dress, and she appears and disappears mysteriously."

"This time our people in Osaka deliberately set up a trap to catch the charmer, but she somehow managed to escape. However, we also gained a lot of important information." "But the most important thing now is that you still need to take a look at the situation of the only survivor. It's very strange."

"We know that your ability has the power to heal the soul, so we specially invited you here."

Shirai looked at his hands.

Treatment for these sinners?
"Don't worry, even if we cure him, his second half of life will be gone. He has a lot of things hidden in his house, enough to keep him there until he dies."

In another seat, Toyokawa Kamisei, who had been silent, spoke.

He was not originally scheduled to come, but he shamelessly asked to come along.

The reason is that Hoshino Nanako is about to hold her first concert in Osaka. As for why there, it’s because that is her hometown.

How could Fengchuan be absent at such an important moment?

If an ordinary police officer had such selfish motives and dared to apply, Noguchi Takeshi would directly use "Noguchi's gaze" to make the other party retreat on their own initiative.

But the proposer was a teenage supernatural being with an ability that was even more concealed than invisibility, so Noguchi Takeshi did not blindly stick to the so-called principles. After making three rules and some arrangements, he let the other party follow him thankfully.

After hearing what Toyokawa said, Shirai felt much more relieved.

In this way, it should not be considered as aiding and abetting evil.

Landing.

A special car quickly took them to the hospital.

"This situation is extremely rare. The patient's main problem was excessive blood loss, but after our emergency treatment, his body has recovered. Logically, his brain should not have suffered any serious damage in such a short period of time. Our examination also concluded that his brain function is normal and there is no impact trauma. But he just can't wake up, and there is not even any brain wave activity. According to medicine, this person is brain dead. But even if a person is dead, there will still be brain wave reactions for a short period of time."

A doctor tried to describe the survivors' symptoms to Takashima and his friends in ordinary terms.

Takashima turned his gaze towards Shirai.

Shirai nodded, and placed his hands, glowing white, on the man's arms.

Even though the doctor was prepared, he was still a little dazed by the look. It took him a few seconds to come back to his senses and look at the professional equipment.

"This waveform is too mild, even weaker than the delta wave."

Shirai closed her eyes and frowned tightly. After a while, she let out a breath and withdrew her hands.

As she withdrew her hands, her brain waves once again turned into a straight horizontal line.

"How is it?" Takashima asked.

"I can vaguely sense the existence of the soul, and this man's soul has disappeared. And it's not a normal disappearance. It's more like it's been 'stripped off'. As a result, he is between death and life and can never truly rest in peace." Shirai tried his best to organize his words. Although it sounded a bit mysterious, no one present, including the doctor, raised any questions.

"It seems that this person is more dangerous than we thought. In this case, let's go to the branch first. We need to stay here for a while."

Considering that the charmer might wipe out the root of the problem, Takashima arranged a strict team to be responsible for the protection here. After asking the doctor some questions, he took the rest of the people to the Special Affairs Bureau's branch in Osaka.

Shirai has dropped out of school, and the convenience store was funded by Kondo. Since she chose to join the Special Affairs Bureau, she can only ask others for help with the convenience store. Or, should she turn it into a psychological therapy clinic?

With the help of the Special Affairs Bureau, licenses and other things should be approved.

She has been thinking about how to make good use of this ability.

Although the birth of this ability is tinged with her pain, she just wants to use it to warm people's increasingly serious mental health problems.
