Chapter 196 Confidence and Arrogance
The Trial of Agito
Kawahara felt the familiar impulse rising from the bottom of his heart, but at this moment, he suppressed this will.
"That's not what I'm going to do!"
He refuted the words in his ear very firmly.
A shock suddenly erupted from his body, and the powerful pressure that descended on him suddenly dissipated. The young man who also suffered the shock was slightly stunned.
Touma's eyes darkened. After looking at Kawahara deeply, he turned around and disappeared in a hazy light.
After Kawahara recovered a little, he looked at the empty rooftop in silence.
He guessed that the Black God would definitely set his sights on him after he came of age, and would begin to try to deal with the power of light. In the first step to destroy Agito, the God of Creation killed an awakened human himself.
——He really strangled the person to death using the most common means.
It's like a process of self-torture.
This made Kawahara think of a question.
Since Kurokami did not pick up Awihara Ryo a few days ago, this human being killed by Kurokami himself is actually of vital importance.
Only when the God of Creation kills one of his own children with his own hands will the other party understand how heart-wrenching this feeling is.
This way they would have room for roundabout negotiations.
but……
Kawahara looked dazed with a blank gaze.
Now that he has thought of this, can he really just sit there and watch that human die like that?
Even if the other person's death can be called a crucial "sacrifice".
But can he really let this happen?
Kawahara subconsciously imagined what decision Godai would make in the face of this situation, but in just a moment, he knew that the other party would never let it go.
But he had this idea in his mind.
Kawahara didn't even want to think about it. He dropped from the sky in his Ultimate Chaser and walked towards the crime scene in Shinagawa District in silence.
Lord Crow had already left here a long time ago, but it turned out that he was not here specifically to deal with the angels.
As a detective in the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division, Toru Hojo will definitely be at the forefront of any criminal case that occurs in Tokyo, especially Unknown cases that are suspected to be "impossible criminal methods."
Kawahara came to him to find out the situation.
He parked his motorcycle on the side of the road and looked at the street where a cordon had been set up. He saw another figure next to Hojo Toru.
——Hiragawa Makoto.
The current wearer of the G3 armor once single-handedly saved the entire ship "Dawn" during a storm. Apart from being a little stupid and clumsy, he is a very great and glorious person.
However, when it comes to being naive, he may be a very qualified warrior, but as a decision maker, he is destined to be played with.
After the impression of Hikawa Makoto went through his mind, Kawahara sighed and rubbed his brows.
……
Not far away at this time.
Hojo Toru and Hikawa Makoto were squatting beside the victim to investigate the situation. The former suddenly had a strange feeling and subconsciously turned his head to see a familiar man staring at him.
The other party hooked his finger at him calmly.
Hojo Toru's eyes moved, and he stuffed the evidence bag he had just packed into Hikawa Makoto's hand. He stood up, straightened his suit, and walked over.
Hyakawa Makoto took the bag in confusion and looked at his back: "Mr. Hojo?"
"I'll leave for a moment, you watch this side."
Hojo Toru did not give much explanation. When Hikawa Makoto looked in the direction he was heading, he saw a man leaning against a black motorcycle not far away.
When Bingchuan Cheng saw this person, his eyes suddenly widened and he subconsciously stood up and walked over there.
But at this moment, the police inspector next to him ran up and handed him a document: "Officer Glacier, this is the victim's identity information."
"Ah... I see. Thank you."
Bingchuan Cheng looked over there, then looked at the situation in front of him. After hesitating for a moment, he could only take care of the present.
……
……
Hojo Toru had already walked up to Kawahara, with his usual confident smile on his face, looking at him intently.
"how?"
"As expected, you should have reported the matter of the superpower last time."
Kawahara looked at him calmly.
Hojo Toru crossed his arms and said leisurely: "Of course, according to the information you revealed, how could I hide such important intelligence!"
"Then you didn't become a 'villain who captures superpowered people', but instead organized a 'plan to capture Agito', right?" Kawahara continued.
Hearing this, Hojo Toru's face changed: "How do you know such a thing?!"
Kawahara said calmly, "Because this matter has become a hot topic, the entire Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department knows about it." However, Hojo Toru denied it without hesitation, "Impossible! This plan is confidential within the Metropolitan Police Department. Before it is implemented, no one else will know about it except the planning team!"
Kawahara suddenly laughed and said, "I see, because I just wanted to trick you."
Hojo Toru: “…”
The above statement is true.
Because Kawahara has only learned from Enoda Hikaru that the military is suspected of taking action, and as for the actions of the Metropolitan Police Department, he only has a guess based on the original drama.
He then sighed and said, "So why target Agito? As far as I know, Agito has been fighting Unknown and protecting humans."
Hojo Toru sneered when he heard this: "It is true that the battle with Unknown is obvious to all, but who knows if he is really doing it to protect humans? Two years ago, there was also a battle between unconfirmed life forms, but their purpose was only to fight for the right to play the game."
As he said this, he stared at Kawahara, but the latter's expression did not fluctuate at all.
Ever since Black No. 2 denied him the qualification to wear the G3 uniform, Hojo Toru has been studying the case file of the [Unidentified Lifeform Incident] from two years ago. Unfortunately, he was not able to obtain much useful information from the public materials.
He paused and continued, "And both Agito and Unknown are non-human beings. I think there are certain similarities between them, so it is necessary to capture and investigate them."
Kawahara looked at him and said, "If you think so, then capturing Unknown can achieve the same effect. No matter what Agito's real purpose is, at least his battle with Unknown protected humanity and he never harmed ordinary humans."
Hojo Toru looked at him meaningfully: "That's why we have to arrest him."
Kawahara suddenly understood.
After staring at Hojo Toru for a while, a faint smile suddenly appeared on his calm face.
He casually turned his gaze to look not far away. The aura around him seemed to become leisurely at this moment, and even his voice became a lot lighter.
"Then let's end our conversation here."
Kawahara turned around and sat on the motorcycle with his back against it, and seeing his actions, Hojo Toru suddenly stepped forward and pressed the front of the motorcycle.
Kawahara turned his head and looked at him indifferently.
Hojo Toru took a deep breath, raised his chin and smiled: "Of course, I know you must have a lot of information here. If you are willing to cooperate with the investigation, as the leader of the action team, I still have the right to postpone the plan."
Kawahara laughed, resting his arms on the front rack in a relaxed manner, and looked at him with interest.
"Officer Hojo, I am impressed by your abilities and confidence, but unfortunately, this also leaves you with an almost fatal flaw," he said slowly.
"What?" Hojo Toru stared at him.
"You have become overconfident to the point of arrogance. This will not make you stronger, but will only lead to your downfall," Kawahara said coldly.
"I don't think so. Failure caused by self-confidence is due to lack of ability, but I happen to have such ability!" Hojo Toru retorted without hesitation.
"Then go ahead and try. You can't stop the [Agito Capture Plan]. From the moment you proposed this plan, the development of this matter is no longer under your control!"
Kawahara mercilessly let go of his hand that was on the hood of the bike, then turned the handlebars and rushed out.
Hojo Toru, who was standing nearby, was almost hit by the car body. He hurriedly took two steps to avoid it, then looked at the black figure speeding away with a frown.
——He can't stop this?
impossible!
It was he who convinced the board of directors with the "superpower incident" and the power to implement the plan was already in his hands. Even if he wanted to suspend the plan, it was just a matter of excuses.
Hojo Toru is very confident in his abilities.
……
……
The roar of speeding cars echoed on the road.
Kawahara raced the motorcycle for thousands of kilometers.
After being blown by the cold wind on the coastal highway for a while, his restless mood slowly calmed down. He then stopped the motorcycle and looked at the birds flying over the sea in the distance.
Then I finally remembered that Shoichi Tsugami should have met the Crow Lord.
I don't know if they are fighting now.
And was Agito beaten to death?
He also had to quickly inform the three-person team that the human military would take action against "Agito" to prevent them from being ambushed while killing monsters.
It is not known whether humans will die after fighting with Agito, but the Black God will definitely not forgive Agito.
This is why Kawahara wants to establish a connection between "ordinary humans" and "superpower users" as soon as possible.
Because all of humanity has the potential to revive the power of light, the future that belongs to humanity can only be achieved if these two parties work together.
Otherwise, after the Black God breaks through the defense, he will directly launch an apocalypse and let Mars collide with the Earth to end it all...
Faced with this mess, Kawahara stared at the sea level in the distance for a while, then cheered himself up and prepared to go to work.
But just as he turned around, he suddenly saw a white figure appear on the rocks near the coast.
The other person kept looking up at him, and when he looked over, he slightly raised a familiar and mysterious smile.
Kawahara's movement to leave also suddenly paused.
He narrowed his eyes dangerously and looked over.
Unconfirmed life form B1——Baluba.
