0291: Xiaolian Is Missing
After digesting what his seniors had gained in kendo, Kitahara Ryosuke got into a taxi.
Yagyu's one-sword style is the most pure way of killing.
The so-called swordsmanship is the way of killing, and the figure in the demonstration was able to kill with one sword, which was in line with what Ryosuke Kitahara had in mind.
This is the result of smashing in 40 skill points in one breath.
"I haven't really competed with swords yet. Only then can I know whether it is worth cutting."
The driver uncle doesn't know anything about swordsmanship. It's enough for him to have work and make money.
But if the swordsman were here, he would definitely detect something strange from Kitahara Ryosuke.
It was a vague sword intention.
Something only a master of swordsmanship can possess.
18-year-old kendo master, are you kidding me?
Of course, even if Kitahara Ryosuke digests all the insights, he will not become a master. He is still far from it.
It's just that at his age, he can really reach the level of swordsmanship. There is nothing wrong with calling him a genius among geniuses.
The taxi drove directly to the community where Uncle Bai Chuanxiong lived.
Uncle Baichuan did not wait for him at home, but stood by the road.
Momokawa's sharp eyesight was such that he could see the keenness exuding from Kitahara Ryosuke at a glance.
"Are you still practicing swordsmanship?" Bai Chuanxiong asked.
Watching the taxi leave, Kitahara Ryosuke shrugged and said with a smile: "Is it so obvious?"
In this regard, Uncle Baichuan did not ask in detail, he just said: "You have so many secrets in your kid, just like your little girlfriend."
Girlfriend?
Kitahara Ryosuke thought the uncle was talking about Yingzi.
But when he got on his uncle's scooter and learned the whole story, he realized that it was his coward, Xiangze Suzu.
...
At Xiangze's house on the outskirts of Kyutian City, nurse Xiangze asked for leave again.
She was sitting alone on the tatami, her beautiful eyes full of anxiety.
Until she heard the sound of someone taking a key to open the door, Xiangze Ling suddenly became excited.
There are only two keys to this house, one is in her hand, and the other is given to Kitahara Ryosuke.
he came.
Uncle Baichuan must have told him.
Xiangze Ling was a little scared.
She closed her eyes tightly and clenched her little hands on her knees into fists.
She was prepared to be scolded and even beaten.
Some things should not have been hidden from Beiyuan from the beginning.
The door opened.
Someone walked in.
Xiangzawa Suzu is very sensitive to smells, and she knows the person coming is Kitahara Ryosuke as soon as she smells it.
"You, you, you."
Kitahara Ryosuke took off his shoes and came to the little coward, squatted down and said, "I really don't know whether to call you a coward or a courageous one."
"sorry!"
Suzu Kazawa, who was wearing a knitted sweater and a house skirt, quickly apologized.
Kitahara Ryosuke said: "I have no other intention of coming here. I just want to tell you that we have started to help you find that little devil. From today on, Uncle Baichuan and I will help you find it."
Xiaolian, the daughter of Jinguji Temple who came out of the [Seventh Ward], disappeared for no reason and her whereabouts are still unknown.
A mysterious disappearance is definitely a big deal.
"Thanks!"
The more nervous Xiangze Ling became, the dumber her mouth became. At this time, these were the only words she had left.
"Okay, just wait at home and I will give you the news as soon as possible."
After saying this, Kitahara Ryosuke planned to get up and leave.
However, before he could take a step forward, he saw a white hand grabbing the hem of his trousers.
Sister Xiangze said eagerly: "I want to go with you."
"no!"
Kitahara Ryosuke kicked her away and said, "I am a spirit exterminator, and now a ghost is released from my side. Don't you think it's funny?!"
Although Kitahara Ryosuke can only say that his job as an investigator in Kyuta City is average.
The salary is not too much, the things to do are not too small, and there are regular ghost missions, but the most important thing is freedom.
There are currently two full-time investigators in the White Horse Team, and real strange incidents don't happen every day. The two of them only need to discuss the schedule, and it's not a big problem to work one day off and one weekend.
For example, this month, there is only one ghost worthy of a slap from Kitahara Ryosuke and Momokawa, and the bonus for handling weird incidents has already been put into his salary card.
Based on this calculation, it is not difficult to be an investigator, at least for Kitahara Ryosuke who has reached level 37.
As for Xiao Zang, he thought about the day when Zang's sister suddenly burst into flames in the Shura field and stabbed him with a knife.
He never expected that Xiangze Ling would dare to cheat behind his back.
Can that kind of thing be kept?
If he hadn't already embarked on this path, Kitahara Ryosuke himself wouldn't want to come into contact with this kind of stuff.
Spiritualists and investigators must have the most basic professional ethics.
Haven't you seen that Mieko has never had contact with outsiders since she was warned once? !
"I was wrong, Beiyuan, I really know I was wrong!"
Seeing the angry look on the face of the man opposite, Xiangze Ling became even more frightened. She hugged the latter's thigh and refused to let go, "I wanted to tell you, but I couldn't bear to let go of that child. Normally, that child is quite obedient. I don't know why. , Xiaolian suddenly couldn’t be found!”
Kitahara Ryosuke: "Let go, I'm going to work."
Xiangze Ling shook her head desperately, "I was wrong. Please don't be angry with me. I don't dare to do it anymore. I will go with you. I don't want to hinder you. I will follow you from a distance. I'm afraid... "
Kitahara Ryosuke's palm has already been raised.
Xiangze's fearful and helpless look was evident, and he put his hand back again.
The beginning of his relationship with Kazawa Suzu was the day when he entered the second stage of deception for the first time.
At that time, he looked at everything as if it were a dead thing.
He attacked Kazawa Suzu in order to exit this state of being an executioner.
And when things returned to normal and humanity returned, the relationship between the two got closer.
Sister Xiangze really has very few requirements for men, and without instructions, she never dares to take the initiative to make phone calls. She misses sending a message and reports that she is safe at a fixed time every night.
When Kitahara Ryosuke says he is busy, he means he is busy.
When Ryosuke Kitahara said he was on a business trip, it was a business trip.
She was very sensitive to smells, and just like Kitahara Ryosuke, Xiangzawa Suzu definitely guessed something.
But she also had such low self-esteem, feeling that she was old and divorced. Although 99% of the latter part was fake, the remaining 1% was just fake and was enough to make her feel unworthy of Beiyuan.
She is timid.
After experiencing so much, I feel even more insecure.
She is also the only woman who likes to sleep with Kitahara Ryosuke in her arms, the kind who clings to him to death.
Ryosuke Kitahara took her back to her hometown, and Suzu was very happy.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have transformed into the brave Xiangze sister for several days.
"Maybe... my demands on her are a bit too high..."
Kitahara Ryosuke picked him up and comforted him softly: "Go and pack up, let's go together."
"But you have to agree in advance that you won't interfere with official duties."
"If she hasn't hurt anyone yet, I can take her to a safe place and you can go see her."
"But if I have already killed an innocent person, I can only guarantee that she will suffer less pain."
...
In the spacious SUV, uncle Momokawa Yu was sitting in the driver's seat, Kitahara Ryosuke was the co-pilot, and Kazawa Suzu, whose eyes were still swollen, was sitting in the back seat.
The uncle had a cigarette in his mouth but didn't smoke. He seemed to be teasing but also had other intentions: "I thought it would take you a long time to go in, but I didn't expect you to come out so soon. Have we discussed it?"
Beihara Ryosuke said: "Ang, we've discussed it."
"You didn't really bully me, did you?"
Kitahara Ryosuke sighed slightly, "I just want her to recognize the reality."
The reality is that this is human society, and Xiaolian is weird, and the kind of weird that is not high-end.
Xiangze Ling If an ordinary person keeps it around him, even if he has a special constitution, he will suffer from it sooner or later.
Xiaolian's fate is either to be imprisoned by the Special Affairs Department, or to be imprisoned by Kitahara Ryosuke, or to die. Choose one of the three, and there is no fourth option.
Therefore, there are only two choices before Xiang ZeLing: first, agree with Kitahara Ryosuke's approach and let Xiaolian have a good ending; second, break up, and then Kitahara Ryosuke kills Xiaolian in anger.
Well, Xiangze didn't have much choice. Xiaolian was left behind by her and taught by her. It was also because of her negligence that Xiaolian completed "running away from home". Kitahara Ryosuke did not let her take any responsibility. It's a case of bending the law for personal gain.
Uncle Baichuan said: "Girl, don't listen to him scaring you. It's not a big deal. It's just a lost child. Uncle, I am best at helping adults find children."
"Thank you, Uncle Baichuan."
Miss Xiangze first took a peek at someone and then said.
"You said you didn't bully anyone."
Bai Chuanxiong said angrily: "Xiangze, did this kid hit you? If he did, I will kick him out of the car now, and I will take you to find the kid."
Momokawa Yuu VS Kitahara Ryosuke, there is a sense of being both a teacher and a friend. The two get along well. Momokawa Xiong also taught Kitahara Ryosuke a technique, although that technique is called "Evil Disease Sudden".
As for Momokawa Yu and Kazawa Suzu, the former treats the latter more as a junior.
Uncle Baichuan is single, but it is said that he had a daughter a long time ago.
It's possible that the cowardly look of Xiangzawa Suzu has a certain similarity with that girl, which makes Momokawa Xiong particularly concerned about the affairs of Xiangzawa's family.
He had already explained this to Kitahara Ryosuke on the way here.
During the third advanced mission, the weird Xiaolian once killed a fugitive who molested Xiangze Ling, but was wiped out by him.
Therefore, Momokawa Xiong knew about Xiaolian's existence, guessed that there was something wrong with Xiangzawa Suzu's physical condition, and suggested that she confess to Kitahara Ryosuke.
And because she returned from her hometown in Beiyuan this time, Xiangze Ling still didn't dare to tell the truth, and Xiaolian was lost again. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, so she found Uncle Baichuan.
"Uncle, please stop the car and I'll take her to buy some food."
At this time, Kitahara Ryosuke, who had cherished his words like gold since he came out of Xiangzawa's house, spoke.
Uncle Baichuan looked at him.
Kitahara Ryosuke laughed, "My girlfriend, before I could spoil her, I heard her stomach growling. She probably hasn't eaten much in the past two days."
Xiangze Ling: "I..."
"You must eat, otherwise I won't take you with me."
"oh......"
…
Watching the two people entering the convenience store, Momokawa Yuya got out of the car and went to the roadside to smoke.
The young people today are indeed different from those back then.
Obviously, Kazawa Suzu is many years older than Kitahara boy, but the two of them look like a brother and sister when they walk together.
My younger sister has difficulty choosing, so my older brother directly designated her.
My sister seemed to be used to this designation, and she sat down at the dining table to eat.
At the same time, the brother is still educating his sister.
Well... this time the education was mostly comforting. Although Bai Chuanxiong didn't understand lip reading, he could still guess a thing or two.
"Okay, I had a problem with my attitude before. Maybe things are not as bad as you think."
"If you want to eat, I bought it for you. You must finish it. I haven't seen you for a long time and you have lost weight, you know."
"Wait a minute, I seem to see a white hair... I was wrong. I heard people say that picky eaters and those who don't like eating are prone to white hair."
...
Bai Chuanxiong exhaled a puff of smoke and couldn't help but shook his head, "If you don't say that this boy is attracted by girls, at that time, honesty and duty were the best. Now, honesty and duty are called wood, which seems to be a derogatory term."
After eating a meal in the convenience store for about 20 minutes, Kitahara Ryosuke didn't change much when he came out, and Kawasawa Suzu's complexion was indeed much better.
And this time, the two of them were sitting in the back row together. Kitahara Ryosuke put Miss Xiangzawa's head on his shoulder. The latter was a little shy. Since he had no choice, he finally chose to obey.
The SUV entered two communities one after another, and the three of them met with the two mothers to understand the situation.
The two children have been behaving strangely recently.
Parents are happy to see children playing with their friends after coming home from school. However, after a few days, the two children's friends said they had never seen them go downstairs. However, after the children came home, they could vividly describe what they had played with.
"It's interesting to know what to play, but not to know who to play with or where to play." Baichuanxiong said with a smile.
Kitahara Ryosuke said to Kazawa Suzu: "It is most normal for people of the same age to play together, so we suspect that the source of this strange incident is Xiaolian."
Soon, Xiangzawa Suzu returned to the car to rest, and Kitahara Ryosuke and Uncle Momokawa met the child respectively.
The Mito family's child is 7 years old this year and has a tiger-like head.
Kitahara Ryosuke bent down and said, "Kid, would you like my brother to play with you this afternoon?"
While speaking, he used some of the power of [Enhanced Nightmare Eyes] to make himself amiable enough.
The child shook his head when he heard this, "I made an appointment with a friend today. We are going to the castle to defeat the devil and rescue the princess."
Kitahara Ryosuke smiled and asked: "Is there a princess among your friends?"
The Mito children nodded.
"Then do you know what the princess's name is?"
The kid shook his head.
Kitahara Ryosuke didn't force him, he waved his hand and asked him to watch cartoons, and then quietly absorbed the dream.
"Mom, Mom, stop fighting, I know I was wrong!"
"Mom, are there really ghosts in this world?"
"What if my parents get divorced?"
"Mom and dad are quarreling again, I'm so scared!"
…
What children fear is nothing more than their parents getting divorced and quarreling, being afraid of death, being afraid of ghosts, etc.
The afternoon play was not a nightmare, not even a dream.
It's the same with Uncle Baichuan. You can't get anything out by just asking.
Furthermore, children’s words cannot be taken seriously. Their understanding of things is very different from adults.
So, “we still have to wait until they go out to play.”
Then there's the waiting.
Baichuan Xiong passed the news back to the headquarters in the name of the captain of this operation.
Kitahara Ryosuke found a deserted place to report to Team Leader Yingzi alone.
The first sentence is, "Sister Yingzi, do you miss me?"
