Chapter 741 Sacrifice and Miracle
The bag was heavy, much thicker than the file Yuya Kazami gave to Karasawa.
Toru Amuro frowned, glanced at Karasawa strangely as he walked out, stretched out his hand to slightly open the contents in the middle, and then his expression suddenly froze.
This is a bunch of case information. There is no doubt that it is the same as what he signaled Kazami Yuya to give to Karasawa. It is the investigation information about the bombings that killed Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei.
He wanted to open it and read it directly, but considering the confidentiality of the information itself, he held back in the end.
Toru Amuro pulled out the entire plastic file box filled with papers and looked deeply at Karasawa's figure sitting at the door with his back facing this way.
No wonder this guy suddenly walked out of the door without looking back.
After all, Karasawa has not revealed his identity, and this investigation data is undoubtedly the result of the efforts of the Phantom Thieves and not Karasawa alone.
Reciprocate favors and reciprocate favors. This guy really doesn't want to owe any favors.
While flipping through the pages a little, the sharp-eyed Toru Amuro even saw a lot of picture materials, including photos of someone’s mobile phone information page...
No one could deny that the Phantom Thieves' intelligence capabilities were powerful, but it was beyond his expectation that they could become so powerful in just a few days.
“I forgot your bag in it.”
Tang Ze glanced at the commuting bag that became deflated again after the information was taken away, took it and said calmly thank you .
The Tokyo Aoyama team's game is due in a few days. After this prisoner runs out to cause trouble without changing his mind, Rei Fukutani will still know what he should know.
Give him the things in advance, maybe you can prevent a jailbreak or something...
However, Tangze didn't put all his hopes on this. According to the plot inertia he had experienced so far, even if he was able to prevent it for a while, the final result would probably end up going round and round and back to the starting point.
Karasawa's acceptance of this is quite good - in the worst case, we can do it again. Can the Phantom Thieves be afraid of having too many targets? Restaurant owners are not afraid of pot-bellied men.
"The Tokyo Aoyama team's final will be in a few days. We have chosen a good day." Karasawa said suddenly without thinking.
Having already known in advance that the new target of the Phantom Thieves must be the perpetrator of the bombing, Toru Amuro couldn't help but pause as he walked back.
"That's not necessarily a bad thing." Without looking back at Karasawa's expression when he spoke, Toru Amuro replied calmly, "I haven't had a chance to review what I learned from someone in a few days. It’s time to practice your skills.”
This means that he is going to use the bomb disposal method that Matsuda Jinpei taught him, so that the prisoner can feel the power of genius.
After imagining the scene, Tangze couldn't help but smile, and did not continue to speak. He just lowered his head and slowly turned over the English literature in his hand.
That's hard to say. If the prisoner still can't think of anything this time and wants to find something to do, there will be many people eager to show him his skills, and Tohru Amuro may not be in the queue.
After finishing the communication, Toru Amuro saw that Karasawa had nothing more to say, nodded, and walked back to the cafe.
Seeing that the high-profile action of the Phantom Thieves is not far away, it is best to have a briefing with Team Zero in advance.
But having said that, when there is information that needs to be exchanged, Tang Ze will usually hand it over to Jingguang on his behalf. Why did he come to deliver it himself today?
Is Jingguang also busy with other matters?
Well, what has this guy been busy with after joining the Phantom Thieves? Sometimes he can't help but be curious...
————
Zhu Fu Jingguang, who did not come to run this errand for Tang Ze, was also standing in the cafe at this moment.
To be more precise, it is the palace of Feng Ya Zero located at the location of the real Polo Cafe.
When he just woke up and had not yet obtained the navigation of another world, he had to be carried here by his teammates. Now that he has the ability to enter and exit freely, he can finally visit here alone. .
I don’t know if Cognizant Gin is so blind that he didn’t recognize him as a dead man, or because there is a human figure corresponding to him in the hall, or it’s the other way around, because he recognized that he was once Scotland And with the tacit approval of his entry and exit, Zhufu Jingguang himself was the only one in the team, so he would not be targeted by the cleaner Ginjiu when he came to Jiangu Ling's palace.
He once watched helplessly as Karasawa walked into the theater lobby at a time when the cleaner Gin was in the theater in order to avoid him. As a result, the next second, the cleaner came again Dragging the huge trash can behind him, he walked straight over with no expression on his face, sprayed disinfectant on the floor that Tang Ze had stepped on, and started scrubbing the floor.
At that time, he suddenly appeared from the safe passage, dressed in pale gin, really full of the temperament of a ghost, which made Tang Ze blurt out some unintelligible exclamations, such as "really white blood cells" Weird words like "I know the female ghost is still chasing me".
Zhufu Jingguang, who had experienced Karasawa's bad taste in advance and heard his teammates euphemistically mention that Karasawa spoke a lot of weird words, was just confused for a few seconds and stopped thinking about the other party's strange habits.
...So what kind of impression did Karasawa leave on Gin in the organization, so that the unconscious sentry who only carried part of the image could target him to this extent.
"Guest, why don't you go in for a visit? Why are you sitting at the door and staring at me." Matsuda Jinpei, who felt uncomfortable under Zhufu Jingguang's gaze, touched the back of his neck, his face full of confusion. strangeness.
Practice a little preview of what it would be like to see a living Matsuda Jinpei, so as not to be surprised by a classmate who suddenly appears in the future.
Zhufu Jingguang, who was so slandering in his heart, quickly took out his mobile phone and took a few photos of Matsuda Jinpei without any explanation, saying: "It's nothing, I'll do something. ”
"...How come there are times when movie theater staff need to cooperate in taking photos?" Matsuda Jinpei pressed the cap on his head and avoided the flash unaccustomedly. "If you want to take pictures, the prop display area is more suitable. Just a little bit.”
Of course, that’s because normal shadows can’t carry mobile phones, let alone cognitive dolls with concrete images in the cinema.
“Well, that’s the plan.” Zhu Fu Jingguang, who had taken enough photos, smiled at the other party and filed the photos into a new album, with no smile on his face, wearing a police uniform. After taking it, he looked calmly ahead and put the ID photo in one place.
It seems that after Hagiwara's sacrifice, Zero spent little time with Matsuda. In other words, he subconsciously believed that the sharpness and indifference shown by Matsuda Jinpei during this period was definitely not the other's nature. His understanding of Matsuda's character was still in the police academy period.
But this is a good thing. After checking the information Karasawa asked from Sato Miwako and other colleagues who had worked with him in the First Investigation Division, Morofuku Kagemitsu felt that Matsuda Jinpei was still confident after seeing him. Arrogant, but missing a lot of smiles, it must be difficult for Zero to feel better.
When he walked into the theater, Morofushi Kagemitsu happened to see Hagiwara Kenji walking around the prop display area, busily organizing things and placing new items in the display cabinets.
Zhufu Jingguang walked closer and took a closer look, and saw Kenji Hagihara carefully putting a mobile phone into the glass display cabinet and locking the door.
What a coincidence, right next to Zhu Fu Jingguang’s broken mobile phone.
The mobile phone screen is tilted at a certain angle for the convenience of visitors. It does not display other content, but stays on the prompt page indicating that the message has been sent successfully. There is no doubt that this was the cell phone that Jinpei Matsuda sent the message to Miwako Sato at the last moment of his life.
"I've already started reading the information. This guy Ling really can't take any time off." Zhufu Jingguang couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the time.
"Huh? Are you calling me?" Just when Zhufu Jingguang took out his mobile phone and started taking pictures of the newly appeared objects, Jiang Guling's voice came from behind.
He turned his head and met the golden eyes of Shadow Falling Valley Ling.
"...I'm praising you for the good operation of your cinema." Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled at him and looked at the props area again, "Is there any new movie released? I'm still the first This is the first time I see something new being added here.”
There was already a shadow of him in the cinema, and he is still standing at the counter not far away, playing the role of the ticket seller hardworkingly. To be honest, Zhufu Jingguang actually didn't know what kind of situation he was in with Shadow Falling Valley Ling, but seeing that the other party didn't even recognize Tang Ze who came in, he seemed to have a good impression of them. Jing Guang simply let it go and went to see the other party simply as the owner of this movie theater.
Maybe there really is such a world, where there are not so many intrigues, swords and swords, and everyone just gets to know each other and becomes friends...
Since this is what Fangtani Rei looks like in his consciousness, then he will treat it as this. The guy with the smile on his face must be Rei Fangtani's true inner nature.
“Yes, after all, they are commemorative things, and they are very rare. When I get some new ones, I will add them here as soon as possible. Anyway, they are all items full of stories. Right?" Shadow Jiangu Ling looked at the prop area, raised his eyes and smiled, "It's hard for me to get so many."
Zhu Fu Jingguang's hand paused slightly. .
Jiang Guling, the only one among them who has persisted until now, must not only digest the bad news of the successive sacrifices of his friends while working hard undercover, but also do his best to understand the truth of the incident and bring these things to light. The fragments belonging to the deceased are collected one by one in the deepest part of the memory...
This guy has really not let himself off at all these years.
"They are indeed very important things. However, don't you consider removing some of them?" Zhu Fu Jingguang thought for a moment and finally found some more accurate metaphors, "After all, there are some things inside , it is no longer a regretful thing.”
For example, the guitar hanging there, the mobile phone placed in the window, and the suit that looks like the one he was wearing when he died. Clothes...
Karasawa and the Phantom Thieves worked hard to bring him back to the world, and they are still working non-stop step by step to bring back all the sacrificed people. In the end, it is all for Zero himself.
Tangze may admire each of them, and seems to have a natural affection for them, the police officers who sacrificed their lives at work, but he made the current decision and implemented it step by step to this day, still because of Feng Gu zero.
Now that he has really returned to this world, if Zero is still stuck in the past of regret and regret, it would be contrary to the original intention of the Phantom Thieves.
"You mean, those parts related to you?" Shadow Jiangu Ling suddenly squinted his eyes, and a vague fluctuation spread, as if he in reality suddenly had contact with this shadow. His own consciousness seemed to be connected, "No, I will always keep them."
"Is it because it is difficult to believe in the coming of miracles?" Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at his expression quietly, "Even if I'm already standing in front of you again?"
"...That's not true." Jiang Guling took two steps forward and gently stroked the glass of the counter in front of him, across the clean and new countertop. Looking at the mobile phone, "Although I am about to turn 30, I have always been a person who believes in miracles. In other words, I believe that 'man can conquer nature' and that there is no destiny that cannot be reversed."
Zhu Fu Jingguang continued to stare at him without retorting.
Jiang Guling is certainly this kind of person.
If he didn’t believe in miracles and himself, how could he, who had been in desperate situations so many times, fight for victory amidst countless impossibilities without admitting defeat or believing in fate?
“But I can’t forget these sacrifices and everyone’s departure just because of the miracles that fell from the sky. Miracles are not the norm, but sacrifice is. If you ignore the sacrifice itself because of the mercy of fate, then that’s Is that really not the case?" Looking down at the old button machine on the counter, Shade Valley touched the text on the screen twice and smiled.
Zhu Fu Jingguang was slightly stunned.
"Of course, I still have to thank Miracle. After all these days, I still can't say this...so, thank him for me." Shadow Falling Valley didn't even raise his head. say.
Yes, after all, Karasawa is still struggling until now, and he is determined not to admit his identity to face to face, and how many things he has done with this identity, so that in reality Zero has no chance to say thank you to Karasawa. .
"Will you all come back? All of you." Shadow Falling Gu Ling looked at Zhufu Jingguang.
Perhaps this is a question that Jianggu Ling has always hidden in his heart since the resurrection of Zhu Fu Jingguang, with hidden hope but unable to ask the question.
Zhu Fu Jingguang also laughed.
Even though he knew that this sentence would be difficult to convey to the other party in reality, and due to the wonderful metaphysics of the existence of the palace, it might be difficult for the shadow in front of him to remember this sentence, he still solemnly promised .
"...Of course, of course we will all come back, you are never alone, zero."
————
"...Mr. Amuro, Mr. Amuro?"
"Ah, Miss Enomoto, what's wrong?" Toru Amuro looked at the colleague who called him after he came back to his senses.
Enomoto Azusa, who was adjusting her apron, tilted her head and said teasingly: "Mr. Amuro likes to be in a daze these past two days, and he is always laughing when he is in a daze. What's wrong, he is in love. Or something good happened?”
"No, I'm just in a good mood. As for the reason, I don't know very well."
"Ah, I understand, I understand, it's the feeling that when you walk out and suddenly feel that the weather is very nice, your mood is very open. ”
“Yeah, that’s about it.”
“That’s good. Mr. Amuro feels a little tight sometimes. Maybe it would be better if he relaxed a little. Good luck?”
“Thank you, Miss Enomoto.”
Toru Amuro smiled gently at Azusa Enomoto, then turned to look in the direction of the store door.
Tangze, who was holding five elementary school students, was quickly stuffing the noisy little devils into the car.
Maybe it was because the weather was fine and the sun was shining brightly. The helpless smile on Tangze's face looked particularly warm and welcoming under the sunlight.
Today is the final day for the Tokyo Aoyama team.
