Chapter 14 14: Funeral
"The communication was very good this time. As expected of the eldest son of the William family." Lieutenant General Ricky patted William on the shoulder and showed a very close attitude.
"Huh, I would rather go back to the investigation team to process those materials than face the existence of the Holy Infant." William said with a relieved smile, against his will.
Actually, he would rather stay here and communicate with the Holy Infant. The information he can obtain in this way is of the highest quality.
“Speaking of the investigation team,” Ricky straightened his face, “We and the high-level officials here plan to establish a department independent of the Metropolitan Police Department. Its main task is to deal with super-normal incidents like this one. Ability phenomenon.”
William was silent for a few seconds before asking: "Do the upper management think that this kind of thing will become more frequent in the future?"
"Because of this concern, it is just a draft. It is still operating according to the current investigation team model. However, We need to add more people and establish another group. Those chaebols also want to put a lot of people in. Let’s see how their upper management handles it.”
The two exchanged some more information about the investigation team. After the incident, William was given an afternoon off.
The reason why he initially joined the investigation team was that the Lieutenant General was very interested in "suspected superpowers", so he placed himself, who was familiar with Japanese and related culture, and famous for his affability, into the investigation team, which was equivalent to a The role of eyes and ears.
He also played such a role faithfully, and there was basically no doubt about the decision of Noguchi or Kuroki.
But now it seems that the lieutenant general hopes that he can use his hands more effectively in the investigation team. The establishment of the group is to prepare for the establishment of a department in the future.
While thinking, William came to the gym, where he has been exercising his control over [rigid body] in the past few days.
In his opinion, uncontrollable abilities, no matter how powerful they are, are still very risky.
Especially when he also knew about the "out of control" incidents like Sato Kafeng and Sato Tomomi. Perhaps, this is the price of power?
This idea was easily dismissed by him as soon as it came up. This should be just one of the costs, otherwise this ability would come too easily.
Just like that joke, if I give you one million, would you dare to drink urine? The respondent looked worried, "Why don't I take two more bites of shit?" Otherwise, the money will not be secure.
Fortunately, although he trains constantly on weekdays, he still looks younger overall. After taking the Shengzi Dan, he stopped shaving and put on a little makeup every day to look older. Arousing suspicion from others, they just think he has been sloppy recently, but they also think it is because he has too many work tasks.
For example, Yushi Noguchi felt as if he had aged ten years due to the pressure and continuous work during this period.
This time's answer seems to have been tricked by Shiraishi Hang, but in fact the information is all made up anyway, and he doesn't dare to make it too specific. He will be vague if he can, and then at certain times. Make a few expressions that you don't understand and let them guess slowly.
In this way, the opponent's research route can be split apart at once, and the possibility of finding one's own head is even smaller.
More importantly, he got a hidden message, that is, even Ami didn't know much about the existence of superpowers.
Maybe they are acting, but Shiraishi Hang has time to slowly verify whether this world is really the only one who has his own way.
If this is the case, then the entire planet can be regarded as an experimental site.
Shiraishi Hang, who was in a good mood, stretched out his hand towards the window. It was cloudy, which was normal during the rainy season. His flat hand slowly turned over and pressed down.
A dull thunder sounded.
Cemetery.
Noguchi Yushi remembered that when he was not the section chief, Director Odagiri happily patted him on the shoulder after hearing about his high crime detection rate and said: Whenever I see Yushi with a talent like you, Sometimes, everyone feels that the country will never lose hope! Neither can I! "Have I let you down?"
Noguchi Yushi looked at the sky blankly, and the raindrops gradually became denser and hit his cheek, hiding his tears.
A black umbrella blocked his view of the sky.
"The funeral is over, do you want to go back to the investigation team?" Kuroki Shinsen asked.
Noguchi Yushi instinctively wanted to stay longer, but the other party said: "If we go back together, we can save more guard power and do more things."
He was silent After a moment: "Okay, let's go back together."
After walking a few steps, he looked back and saw that Odagiri's tombstone was no longer visible.
He took the initiative to take the umbrella from Kuroki Shinizumi's hand, covered the two of them, and walked towards the parked car without stopping.
"What direction do you plan to use as a breakthrough? The current high-level attitude is ambiguous, and it seems that they do not agree with us to fight against the Holy Infant Club." Kuroki Shinquan said.
“No matter what they think, a dangerous person who is unruly, has incredible single strength, and has a history of killing officials, they always need to form a deterrent. If they want to persuade them, they should focus on the 'decapitation operation' , those people will be scared," Noguchi Yushi analyzed.
Kuroki Shinsen nodded: "Nakai Falcon is indeed an extremely dangerous target, and so is the 'Dharma Protector'."
"They have tried to threaten the Holy Infant Advent Body to make the two Surrender?"
"Impossible. I heard that the Holy Infant has now become an important guest of the senior officials. He will not use this trick unless it is a last resort." Kuroki Shinquan said bitterly. Shaking his head, "No one knows how important this coming body is to the Holy Infant, and given the situation that day, they actually had the opportunity to take away the Holy Infant."
"Are you saying that they kept the Holy Infant on purpose, or that the Holy Infant stayed on purpose?" Yushi Noguchi looked thoughtful.
If they stayed on purpose, it can be said that the Holy Infant actually had no way to control them. There was discord between the Holy Infant and the Holy Infant Society, and if it was the Holy Infant who asked to stay, it means that he also wanted to To make contact with the authorities, you still have to rely on something.
Considering these two aspects, threatening the Holy Infant to make the two surrender is indeed a very low priority option.
"Yes, so for now, we don't need to consider the Holy Infant. Basically, there is no way to get help from there." Kuroki Shinquan said his direction, "I plan to adjust the investigation team first. It just so happens that many forces want to get people in, and we really need more people."
"Okay, I am responsible for following up on the situation of those who take the pill, and tracking other believers. I will use his mother to fight for the delusional boy who escaped before. We must try our best to form a 'supernatural force' of our own." Noguchi Yushi laughed at himself, "Even if this power comes from the enemy."
"Well, William will act with you, we must let him participate." Kuroki Shinquan pointed out.
"William. He is very different from other Ami people I know. It's quite pleasant to work with him, at least it won't hold you back. What happened last time was also an accident." Yushi Noguchi understood what Kuroki meant. , William is the representative of Aramco. He must participate in projects where he can know the progress and decisions. This is a necessary and helpless compromise.
While talking, the two of them had already arrived at the motorcade.
"You sit in the front car and take a good rest on the road. You are as haggard as an old man now." Kuroki Shinsen made a joke and walked to his car.
Noguchi Yushi put away his umbrella, got in the car, forced down his complicated thoughts, and closed his eyes.
