Chapter 183 Looks like a villain
The incident happened in the park.
Hikawa Makoto dealt with the quarrel among the old men with sweat all over his forehead.
He looked at the information written on the memo and was about to find Hojo Toru, who was on the police mission with him, to analyze it, but when he turned around, he couldn't see anyone.
Where is Mr. Hojo?
Bingchuan Cheng was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly fell on the black motorcycle parked on the street side of the park.
Vaguely remembering something, he quickly ran to the motorcycle and took a closer look, and finally confirmed that he had seen it wrong.
——This is not the car of Black No. 2.
……
The incident happened in a coffee shop opposite the park.
Kawahara glanced at Hikawa Makoto who was sneaking around his motorcycle not far away, picked up the coffee that was brought to him and took a sip, then turned his attention to Hojo Toru who was sitting opposite him.
Hojo Toru watched the waiter put down the coffee. After the waiter left, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Suddenly this person invited him to a nearby coffee shop to have a talk. Hojo Toru had a hunch that this person had ulterior motives!
But it didn't matter, he was not afraid.
It just so happened that he also had something he wanted to know.
Kawahara put down his coffee cup and said with a smile: "Mr. Officer, I wonder what you think about the matter of 'superpowers'?"
"——Hojo Toru."
Hojo Toru raised his hand and placed his police ID on the table. Then he placed his hands on the table, clasped his fingers together, and stared at the person opposite him with a very confident and strong attitude.
He smiled in an equally ambiguous manner and said, "A superpower? I heard that all those attacked by Unknown are superpowered. Although we haven't discovered what special abilities they have yet, I think you must be one of them, right?"
Having said this, he paused deliberately, observing Kawahara's reaction, but the latter just took another sip of coffee slowly.
"So, why do you suddenly ask me what I think about this matter?" Hojo Toru said the rest.
"Two years ago, Tokyo suffered from the impact of unidentified life forms such as the Gurongi, but two years later, people are still living their lives the same way."
Kawahara looked at the street view outside the window and said, "So the impact of unknown life forms on humans will not remain with humans forever. Only the changes brought about by humans themselves will have the greatest impact."
Hearing this, Hojo Toru's smile faded slightly, his expression changed, and he obviously quickly realized the problem that everyone had been ignoring.
Monsters attack humans with a purpose, and only people's daily lives will be impacted.
But the emergence of people with super powers...
The impact is likely to be on the entire social system!
When Hojo Toru thought of this, an idea subconsciously emerged in his mind - the G3 must be mass-produced!
After the dream of mass-producing the G3 armor occupied his mind, Hojo Toru shook off his messy thoughts and asked with a frown, "Are there many of you superpowers?"
"not much."
Kawahara looked at him again and smiled, "It's just that all human beings have this possibility."
Hojo Toru: “…”
Hojo Toru put away his ID expressionlessly, relaxed his body and leaned back in his seat: "Suspicious person, please stop making jokes that have nothing to do with the facts."
Kawahara, however, leaned forward towards the table.
He whispered in a coaxing tone: "But all human beings have the potential to become superpowers, including you, of course - Officer Hojo."
When Hojo Toru heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
The coffee placed in front of him had not been touched since it was brought to him. At this moment, he unconsciously picked up the coffee and took a sip to calm himself.
"impossible!"
Hojo Toru then said confidently: "If it is true that all human beings can become superpowers, such signs should have appeared in the past, but why did the so-called 'superpowers' only appear now? Unless something has brought about an impact!"
It is indeed a very sharp mind!
Kawahara looked at him with increasingly scorching eyes.
——Except for the ancient times, people with super powers have only started to appear in large numbers in recent years. The reason for this is that the "power of light" that was severely damaged in ancient times has to sleep for a long time before it can be revived.
And modern times just happened to have reached this time.
Therefore, the reason why Kuroshin Touma woke up at this time was actually because he had anticipated this time in ancient times.
——This is the "influence".
But Kawahara didn't intend to tell Hojo Toru right now. He leaned back on the sofa leisurely, picked up the coffee and took a sip.
"Yeah~ What exactly is the impact?"
"..." This undisguised look of trying to cover up something is only making it more obvious...
Beijo Toru narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him: "It seems that you know something else?"
Kawahara said with a smile: "That depends on how Officer Hojo performs next. After all... you look like the kind of villain who captures people with super powers to conduct evil experiments!"
Hojo Toru: “…”
Hearing these rude and sarcastic words, Hojo Toru's face twitched.
Kawahara took another sip of coffee and stood up to say goodbye: "I'm leaving first. I hope that the next time we meet, it won't be the arrest team that Officer Hojo prepared for me."
Just as Hojo Toru was about to think of a rebuttal and prove his point, he saw the man turned and left.
He immediately snorted in dissatisfaction, but looking at the back of the man outside the window, he actually thought that it was a good idea...
It is estimated that there will not be much gain from simply capturing humans who may be "super powers".
Although Black No. 2 reported to the Metropolitan Police Department that most of those attacked by "Unknown" were people with super powers, the few victims who were rescued previously did not show any extraordinary abilities during the investigation.
It can be seen that the so-called super-powered people are still somewhat watery.
But Agito looks very powerful!
Why not catch an Agito and take a look?
……
Hyokyou Makoto, who was looking at the Ultimate Chaser furtively, was no longer beside him.
Kawahara simply got on his motorcycle and rode away. When Hikawa Makoto, who was in the park, heard the noise and turned around, he only saw a slightly familiar figure.
Just as he was wondering, he saw Hojo Toru, who had just disappeared, walking towards him.
Hikawa Makoto said quickly: "Officer Hojo! The hospital just sent a message saying that the victim has woken up. The Metropolitan Police Department found out that he has a daughter. According to the pattern of Unknown attacking immediate family members, we should send someone to protect them immediately!"
Hojo Toru nodded and said, "In that case, you go and protect the relatives of the victim. I will go to the hospital to inquire about the situation."
"okay, I get it!"
Hikawa Makoto had no objection to this arrangement.
Only Hojo revealed an ambiguous smile and looked at the end of the road where there was no trace of the motorcycle.
Well, I wonder how much useful information the victim can bring him?
……
……
The other side at this time.
Kawahara finally arrived at the destination of his trip.
A single apartment.
However, just as he approached the door, he had a feeling that there seemed to be no one inside, and sure enough, he knocked on the door for a long time but received no response.
Kawahara looked at the sky in confusion - could it be that the other party had already started wandering outside during this period?
After waiting until the sun was setting but no one came back, Kawahara raised his left hand, and the black particles that were attached to his wrist like a thin sheet floated onto his hand.
Then he inserted it into the keyhole and opened the door.
Click…
The door opened, and the dim and cramped apartment came into view.
Kawahara didn't feel like he was trespassing at all. He walked into the apartment very relaxedly and looked around, and finally determined that there should still be people living here.
The drawer of the table was half opened. He opened it all the way and took out a photo from inside and looked at it.
The photo shows a man and a woman snuggling and smiling.
The two appeared to be in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, but they may have broken up - after all, this photo was deliberately hidden in a drawer.
Kawahara was looking at the photo with great interest, when he suddenly realized something and turned to look at the door. The next moment, a young man with a confused look on his face appeared at the door.
"Who are you?"
