Chapter 237-07: Chain of Doubt
Guan Junyan couldn't think of any reason why Jingquan wanted to cooperate with the Mother Goddess.
Her sister died in the Moon Polluter riot on Iki Island.
No, to be exact, it should be said that he was missing.
For some reasons, the Special Affairs Bureau will issue a death determination even if the death is not completely confirmed, as long as there is a high probability.
Moreover, under the circumstances at that time, the probability of her and the other few months of the Initiators surviving was almost zero. Even he could only be said to have escaped death.
You can't just hold a grudge against the Special Affairs Bureau for this reason and turn to the Mother Goddess for integration. It doesn't make sense in terms of interests, and it doesn't make sense emotionally.
"When you were tracking the woman who appeared in the cafe that day, did you write down her smell?" Guan Junyan remembered that the Special Affairs Bureau later conducted a genetic identification on her coffee cup, but no useful data was detected.
"The distance is not enough, and she didn't leave any useful breath." Kasahara shook his head.
Fortunately, at least we can't be sure that it was her who appeared at the scene that day.
Guan Junyan heaved a self-deceptive sigh of relief. After all, the timing of the woman and the monster appearing one after the other in the mall that day was too coincidental, and it was difficult to clear himself of suspicion.
After thinking it over again and again, he decided to continue with the original plan and go see the person who was suspected to be Yueying.
I edited a message, originally wanting Jinhu Ning to secretly pay more attention to whether Jingquan had any abnormalities at school, but considering the possibility of alerting the enemy, I gave up and let Jinhu Ning get along with him as usual.
"Sir, this is Andonu's daily action sheet."
It’s still Bunkyo District.
Guan Junyan took the man's action list during this period from the agent who was responsible for tracking the suspected Yueying member.
"Two days. He hasn't been seen since he entered the house two days ago?"
"Yes, we are monitoring him in groups of three, and we can confirm that he has never left the apartment." The agent was a little nervous and nodded quickly.
Guan Junyan did not question anything: "Thank you for your hard work. We will go in later. If you find anything unusual outside, call me."
"Understood, sir."
The current apartment is rather ordinary and not quite suitable for the identity of a supernatural being. Even for those who do not care about material desires, unless conditions are limited, they generally would want to live more comfortably.
Being alert, Kasahara turned into a cat and kept watch on the railing of the corridor, while Guan Junyan came to the target's door and knocked three times, neither lightly nor heavily.
"anyone there?"
Guan Junyan listened carefully to the sounds inside, but there was no movement at all.
Sure enough, either they are dead or their deeds are no longer there.
I put some force on the door lock, simply destroyed the structure, and pushed it open. A smell of being single and living alone hit me in the face.
Simply put, it tastes like fast food pile up.
Kasahara raised his head and sniffed carefully a few times.
"Meow (There is no smell of blood or any scent of living people)."
It's always nice not to have to deal with the dead.
Guan Junyan walked lightly and looked around the entrance and living room that he could see the end of. Although the smell was not very pleasant, it did not look dirty or messy, and there were very few items, and there was not much of a sense of life.
"This should just be a foothold for the enemy. They may have discovered our people and given up. Of course, there may be some other reason."
"Meow (I'll go look inside)."
Guan Junyan closed the door, put on gloves and foot covers, and checked the house for suspicious traces. He also tested the fluorescent reaction of the blood. However, after all the operations, he did not gain anything.
"Meow."
"What discovery?"
The cat turned back into human form, holding two strands of cat hair.
"The smell found in the room was the same as the one found in Lisa's house. It was also the smell of Jingquan."
Guan Junyan frowned and took it in the evidence bag.
He did not become more suspicious of Jingquan. On the contrary, he was even relieved overall.
Deliberate, all of this was too deliberate, as if someone was constantly guiding him to investigate Jingquan.
He looked around and turned on the signal blocking device: "What do you think?"
"It's so clean." Kasahara pointed at the cat hair. "I've smelled the smell of cat hair on Ning. In addition to the smell of the cat and the owner, there is also the smell of other people or food mixed in."
"Whoever put this thing here probably doesn't understand my sense of smell."
"Or rather, in that person's eyes, he didn't consider you as a variable at the beginning." Guan Junyan seemed to be thinking about something.
If Kasahara had not joined, then when he saw the white cat fur, he would naturally think of the cat in Jingquan's family, whose name was Soun, Jingquan Ringo's sister, and the cat left by his first apprentice.
He was also convinced that this was what was snatched from Cang Yun. He only needed to do a genetic test to "prove" that Jing Quan had a deep connection with this incident.
The only person who can design such a logical chain is probably
The more he thought about it, the heavier Guan Junyan's heart became.
No matter which speculation it was, it was not the result he wanted, and he also lacked the most important motivation.
"Mister and Miss, I don't think this is a good place for a tryst."
A slightly teasing voice suddenly rang out in this room where there were clearly only the two of them.
Kasahara quickly turned into a cat, jumped onto Guan Junyan's shoulder, and looked around vigilantly.
Guan Junyan also mobilized his abilities. He was indeed startled, but since the other party took the initiative to speak, it showed that he was willing to communicate. Otherwise, he would have just launched a sneak attack, which would have been a waste of opportunity.
In the room, a mysterious man in a black robe and a crescent mask walked out.
This outfit reminded Guan Junyan of the people unified by the Mother Goddess. The only difference was that the masks they wore liked to use images of a full moon.
"Don't be nervous, I'm from Yueying. I don't think we have any bad records in the Special Affairs Bureau." The mysterious man spread his hands and spoke in a relaxed tone. He even moved out a chair, sat on it and crossed his legs.
"Ando Tsutomu? Or are you his superior?" Guan Junyan did not comment.
"I came here to look for him. I haven't heard from this guy for a few days. I thought I should dig up his body and bury it if he died. So I followed the safe house he registered and found you two, a handsome couple~" The mysterious man pointed at Guan Junyan and the cat, "What an enviable ability. I just don't know if you can keep your cat ears and tail when you are in human form."
".Do you have any clues?"
"Friend, shouldn't you show your sincerity first and tell me why you are looking for Ando Nu?" The mysterious man propped up his chin. "After all, a pleasant cooperation is the basis for more cooperation, isn't it?"
Guan Junyan was silent for a while, then asked, "Do you know Lisa?"
"Of course." The mysterious man answered Guan Junyan without hesitation, which surprised him a little.
"She disappeared, and we found out that Anto Noru had met her." Guan Junyan gradually explained his reasons. The mysterious man nodded suddenly: "She is also from Yueying, and not only that, she is also a divine grace sorcerer."
".How do you know?" Guan Junyan asked with a frown. If Lisa is a divine grace sorcerer, it means that Louis is lying. What is the purpose of his lying?
In comparison, he would rather believe that the person in front of him was talking nonsense. After all, he was wearing a mask, so how credible could he be?
"She joined our Yueying deliberately and had no good intentions. I just asked Ando to be hypocritical. I also think that Ando's disappearance might be caused by Lisa." The mysterious man spread his hands, and there was no anger or sadness in his tone.
"So, where's your evidence?"
"Originally, I don't need to show you the so-called evidence, because your partner is the Moon Initiator." The mysterious man shook his head and sighed slightly exaggeratedly, "Don't be kept in the dark any longer. If someone else kills the Moon Initiator, they can become the Moon Initiator. If the Moon Initiator kills the Moon Initiator, Yuehen will get the Complete Kitten. Don't you want to know what the complete Yuehen looks like and what kind of great power it has?"
"Nonsense, this has already been disproven. I was even there at the scene!!" Guan Junyan refuted.
"Oh, how did you disprove it? I'd like to hear the details." Under the mask, the mysterious man seemed to open his mouth and look at him with a smile.
"When the Moon Initiators first appeared, many people chose to commit crimes. Among them, there were those who were unforgivable and could not be educated." This information is not a secret. It can even be said that it was spread deliberately to avoid infighting among the Moon Initiators.
"Because of these people, you conducted experiments on ordinary people and Moon Awakeners and killed them, but nothing happened, right?" The mysterious man added to Guan Junyan's later words.
Guan Junyan was silent. It was indeed true.
"Hahaha, that's indeed true. But what if I tell you that it's the wrong time to kill?" The mysterious man pointed to the sky.
"You mean, the full moon?" Guan Junyan's face changed.
The mysterious man didn't say whether it was right or wrong, but just shrugged and said, "I'll leave it to you to judge for yourself. Otherwise, if I say more, it will seem like I have no intention."
"It's obvious now that you have ulterior motives."
"Maybe. Identifying the true from the false is exactly your strong point. By the way, remember to keep an eye on the Moon Initiator around you. You might be targeted by someone someday. Let's go. I still have to check if the Heaven Node wants to obtain the power of the Moon Initiator."
Without giving the two much time to react, the mysterious man waved his hand and slipped into the bedroom. Kasahara jumped up to chase him, but the man was no longer there. It was as if he had disappeared out of thin air.
". Let's go back first. There's too much news today."
Guan Junyan rubbed his brows, his mind was in a mess. A large amount of information was intertwined and collided, automatically assembling into a large number of conspiracy theories and skepticism. For a moment, it seemed that the whole world was a suspect.
He knew very well that what the mysterious man said was most likely a reserved truth, which is the so-called taking things out of context.
The information is all true, but when put together, it tastes more and more wrong.
"Miss, President Nakai just came to see you, but it's probably not urgent."
"Oh, I think I know what it is."
"Then I'll go down first."
"Oh, by the way, Uncle Cishan, please help me sort out the information about the Kyudo National College Tournament from two years ago."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
Hirosue Yoshimiya returned to the Hanazaki Hotel. In the past few years, she has stayed here most of the time except for school.
He returned to his room, took out the painting titled "Projection", and hung it in the originally designated location.
After several years of experiments, she has developed more in-depth functions for the ability [Forgery].
For example, creating something out of thin air is the most laborious, but if you use a real object as a pretext, you can create a more powerful item with the same consumption, depending on the degree of compatibility.
Among them, items imbued with extraordinary aura or extraordinary will are undoubtedly the most suitable objects.
The extraordinary will contained in this painting is very good, and it should be able to create the most powerful item she has ever made.
But what kind of extraordinary item it should be made into still needs to be considered.
After changing her clothes, she walked towards Nakai Hayabusa's office.
The hotel was still bustling as always. The lobby was filled with representatives of financial tycoons from all over the world. Their daily job was to look with envy at the black-robed members of the Holy Infant Society coming in and out in twos and threes.
Hirosue didn't like having other people around her, but no one present dared not to recognize her. Every member greeted her respectfully, while ordinary people didn't even have the qualifications to say hello.
"Sister Hirosue!"
"Xiaotao.Xiong is not allowed to come in."
"Oh! I forgot. Sorry! Big Bear, let's go home!"
An unusually large brown bear that could walk upright as easily as drinking water glanced at Hirosue Yoshimiya fearfully. After hearing the command from Xiaotao on his shoulder, he heaved a sigh of relief in a humane way and hurriedly took Xiaotao out of the hotel lobby.
Hirosue Ryomiya looked at the bear's back and seemed to become even more spiritual.
Speaking of which, Xiao Tao is simply a humanoid animal succubus. From insects and ants to birds and beasts, they are easily attracted to her. Among them, some will actively stay by her side and cannot be driven away.
Without stopping, she continued walking to Nakai Hayabusa's office.
"Please come in."
Guangmo pushed the door open and walked in. He glanced around casually, but his heart suddenly jumped up.
"Nine! Nine Dharma Protectors!"
Sitting in the main seat was the Ninth Protector who had not been seen for a long time.
The Nine Protectors seemed no different from before, but after looking at them for a few more seconds, Guangmo felt as if his mind was being captured, so he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at them any longer.
"In the past two years, some things have delayed the Saint Infant and me for a while." The Ninth Protector glanced at the sun outside the window. The next second, the originally scorching summer afternoon sun seemed to be restrained and well-behaved in an instant. "But now it seems that you have done a good job."
"Too few people have awakened in these years. It's my fault. Please, Nine Protectors, forgive me!" Nakai Hayabusa knelt on the ground as soon as he disagreed with something. Time obviously did not nourish his ambition.
In other words, no matter how big the ambition is, it will be quietly shattered the moment you see the Nine Protectors, without leaving any trace.
"Alright, without the Holy Child Pill, you can't create a new extraordinary person out of thin air. As for the Moon Awakeners, you don't have to get involved." The Nine Protectors shook their heads slightly and looked at Guang Mo. "Tokyo will have a great disaster, but at the same time a treasure will also be born. I won't help, and you all need to solve all of this by yourselves."
Nakai Hayabusa's scalp tingled.
What the hell, a catastrophe?!
The word "great catastrophe" can be used to describe the nine guardians, so for ordinary extraordinary people like them, how can they still survive?
Nakai Hayabusa quickly winked at Hirosue. He remembered that Hirosue had a good relationship with the Nine Protectors.
Guang Mo was helpless and asked tentatively: "May I ask the Ninth Protector, how does this compare to the chaos in New York or Mo City?"
The Nine Protectors chuckled.
"Less than three or four."
