Chapter 182 Hojo Toru is not impossible
Kawahara had just been out for a while.
The keen perception detected something.
This was very similar to the signs that always occurred when a monster was about to kill humans. However, this time he did not see any foreboding scenes in his mind, only a vague feeling.
It's like I've been blinded by something...
Kawahara's eyes flickered as he calmed down. The Ultimate Chaser under him immediately retracted the wheels and rushed towards the sky, heading high in the direction where he felt uneasy.
With the speed of the Ultimate Tracker, one circle in the sky can cover most of the area.
Not to mention that there was a terrified scream that pierced the sky, and the sound waves pushed over from afar. Kawahara, who had a keen sense of perception, quickly looked over there and saw a person in free fall.
And the opponent is already very close to the ground!
When the Ultimate Pursuer rushed forward according to his will, Kawahara's mind was also confused.
How to save this?
With the opponent's falling speed, even if he didn't hit the ground, if he was caught by the Ultimate Tracker, it would still cause impact to his internal organs, because the distance from the ground would make it almost impossible to dissipate the kinetic energy!
In a moment of confusion, the Ultimate Tracker had already arrived below the person who was screaming in fear, and Kawahara suddenly jumped out from his seat!
Swah——
When he hugged this person, the ground was already very close. A burst of light burst out from Kawahara's waist, and the two of them instantly floated three feet above the ground!
This distance is extremely close.
Kawahara was also stunned for a moment.
This is the power of light - so the power of light is still active in his body?
The next moment I was thinking this, the surrounding scenes were suddenly overexposed, whether it was the pedestrians on the roadside who looked up because of the sudden change in the sky, the children playing in the park, or the players playing baseball...
The whole world seemed to have been paused.
Kawahara looked up suddenly, and the child dressed in black suddenly appeared in front of him, looking at him with a gloomy expression.
"You don't need this kind of power!"
The child said this in a childish tone that did not allow any objection, and raised his hand directly towards Kawahara. However, Kawahara, who was able to sense all this, was unable to act at all.
The flashing light from his waist rushed towards the child, but just as it touched the other's palm, the child suddenly frowned and cried out in pain, and reflexively withdrew his hand.
It was also at this time that Kawahara suddenly resumed action.
He and the free-falling human fell to the ground silently, and Kawahara immediately stood up and distanced himself.
"You want to take away the power of light in my body?!" He stared at the child opposite him.
"..."
The seven or eight-year-old child stared at him with wide eyes in displeasure, white smoke emanating from his burned hands, but he said nothing. After glancing at the Yaguru belt that appeared around his waist, he turned around and disappeared.
The surrounding atmosphere was instantly restored, people's noise could be heard, and a gentle glow enveloped the afternoon park.
Kawahara was stunned for a moment and suddenly turned his head, and saw an angel's figure flashing behind the bushes in the park. It was obviously the angel who caused the person to free fall.
In fact, after he caught the man, he was about to save him by transforming, but the power of light was activated first.
Then the Black God appeared behind him...
and so……
Kawahara pressed his waist which had returned to normal, thoughtfully.
After the dark power awakened, the reason why the light power became non-existent and the reason why the Black God did not take action against him for the time being - is it because one is intentionally hiding and the other is trying to lure him?
You two are playing hide and seek in my body...
"This...where is this?"
The middle-aged man who fell to the ground said in a panic: "I'm not dead? I'm still alive? I..."
From encountering the monster to free falling from a high altitude, to landing in a daze and uncertainty, he seemed to have experienced his entire life in just one minute - from birth to death and rebirth.
Kawahara was feeling a bit confused at the moment, so he had no intention of communicating with this person who had only awakened a little.
But in order to prevent the angel from coming to intercept him as soon as he left, Kawahara sat down by the flower bed in the park and rested for a while.
Although the angels before would not attack the people he rescued again, the dark power has now awakened, and the child's attitude is weird. Kawahara really can't guarantee whether the other party will have the possibility of a counterattack.
……
The middle-aged man who free-fallen from an altitude of ten thousand meters was extremely frightened both physically and mentally. After he recovered and realized that he was not dead, he fainted directly.
The passers-by in the park who saw him fall from a high altitude but survived were also very frightened. After the enthusiastic people called the police, the Metropolitan Police Department and ambulances quickly arrived. Falling from a high altitude but surviving - it sounds like an incident related to "unknown life forms", so the Investigation Section was naturally dispatched.
There are quite a lot of witnesses in the park right now.
"I don't know what happened to him, but when he fell, it seemed like a black shadow flew over in the sky, and when we came to our senses, he was on the ground!"
"Wait, this doesn't seem right. There were clearly two people falling down!"
"You are mistaken, he is the only one!"
"No! There are obviously two people!"
"You must be dizzy with fright."
"And I just saw that person here, you remembered it wrong!"
"..."
When police inspector Makoto Hikawa was recording the situation at the scene, the old men watching started arguing. For a moment, he didn't know whether to continue collecting information or to try to stop the fight.
Not far away, Hojo Toru frowned and watched Hikawa Makoto in a panic.
Although he didn't want to go over to help, he also listened to what the people said just now.
When one's worldview is impacted by unimaginable things, some people may vaguely forget the situation at that time, or even automatically imagine a reasonable situation.
Others may remember what is happening right before their eyes.
There are no tall buildings around, which basically rules out the possibility that the victim committed suicide by jumping off a building. Then the incident of falling from a high altitude into the park is equivalent to an "impossible crime."
This is a rare case of someone surviving after being subjected to an "impossible crime".
As for whether there were two people at the time, Hojo Toru felt that it would be better to wait until the victim woke up and ask directly.
He looked around and suddenly saw a figure walking towards a motorcycle on the side of the road. He was stunned for a moment and then suddenly chased after him!
Hojo Toru intuitively felt that there was something wrong with this person!
"and many more!"
……
After circling in the air, the Ultimate Pursuit landed in a corner and drove to the side of the park road.
The target would then be protected by the Metropolitan Police Department, so Kawahara prepared to leave. However, just as he walked to the motorcycle, he heard a voice behind him that was clearly directed at him.
He turned around and looked, raising his eyebrows slightly at Hojo Toru who was running towards him.
When Hojo Toru saw his face, his eyes moved: "It's you!"
Just now he felt that the man's back looked a little familiar, but because the other person had his hair tied up this time, he didn't recognize him at first sight.
"You're here. Could the incident with that person just now be related to you?" Hojo Toru asked sharply.
Very accurate guess.
If you say it is related, it is indeed somewhat related.
Kawahara suddenly thought of something. He did not respond in a hurry, but looked up and down at Hojo Toru with an ambiguous look.
——Agito needs someone to lead them towards the right evolution, but ordinary humans also need someone who can guide both sides to coexist peacefully.
The candidates Kawahara had considered before included various figures in the police force, even Hikawa Makoto, but the only person he had not considered was Hojo Toru.
Because this guy is very selfish.
An overly selfish person is like a time bomb.
But it is undeniable that Hojo Toru is indeed very capable.
He was able to become a criminal in the First Investigation Division entirely through his own efforts, and his thinking logic is quite sharp. He is able to convince the senior directors of the Metropolitan Police Department to consider his plans every time.
After Kawahara recalled this man's eloquence, he suddenly felt that... Hojo Toru might not be so bad?
(Toru Hojo suddenly felt a chill on his back).
