Chapter 121 Anna
"Ding ding dong dong..."
The doorbell in front of HOMRA rattled, and the person who was standing behind the bar and was hanging his head bookkeeping said "Welcome", and only saw a few people walking in when he looked up.
"Master Kusanagi, Jun Ji, you are back."
"Miss Tokuko."
Kusanagi Izumo nodded slightly to the smiling beauty in red, and then looked at the person on the sofa by the window, "Jun, you are back."
"Mr. Zun." The person behind him also stood up straight and bowed his head reflexively.
The red-haired man who was lazily leaning on the sofa slightly raised his eyelids and glanced over, his pale gold pupils shone with a tiny bit of light, and through the black crow feather-like eyelashes, there was a touch of sharpness for no reason.
Kusanagi Izumo walked over to him and sat down, and the others surrounded him consciously.Ze Tianya ran to her elder brother with a "da da da", climbed onto the sofa with hands and feet and nestled next to him like a small dumpling, and Shi Shu sat down next to her.
The other people either sat or stood together, Zhou Fangzun's sofa on the other side was still vacant, but no one dared to sit for the time being.No one spoke, and the hall was very quiet for a while, only the sound of Fushimi's fingers constantly moving on the keyboard, and the sound of water being washed by Miss Tokuko at the bar at the bar a dozen steps away.
"Ahhh, I'm so upset, those guys!"
After a long while of silence, Misaki Hatta, who really couldn't hold back, spoke first.He leaned against the single sofa where Fushimi was sitting, and scratched his hair irritably, his tone was irritable and aggrieved as he wanted to fight someone.
After the strange silence was broken, Kusanagi felt slightly relieved for some reason, "Calm down, Hatta, we are now a legal society."
Although it is a bit ironic to say this sentence from the second-in-command of the Barbara, for them, although the barbarians don't like to abide by any rules and regulations, sometimes when the temper comes up, they can do it directly , but some of the most superficial rules of the human world, even they have to abide by.
For example, this time, although the director of the mallet was very suspicious and annoying, he couldn't make any judgments about the gold branch without any solid evidence, or Kusanagi was not sure whether he had really done something that crossed the line. The heads of the subordinate agencies appointed by Wang personally did what they said they would do.This can also be regarded as the minimum respect for the King of Gold who guards the boundary between supernatural beings and ordinary people and maintains social stability.
"Phew..." Shishu Tara let out a sigh of relief, and casually fiddled with the long silver hair of the little loli beside her who was hanging down on the sofa, "Anyway, Kusanagi, you have already negotiated terms with the director, right? Even if there is an inspection, our people must accompany Mi-chan."
"Speaking of which, Mizuki is very talkative, and he basically agreed to all the conditions proposed."
However, the more this happened, the more suspicious he seemed. He didn't believe that the man was really a serious and responsible kind person. On the surface, the man was gentle and kind like a gentleman with high moral character. In fact, the ambition in his eyes was about to burn into flames. .
Kusanagi Izumo was a little irritable, he faintly felt that something was wrong, but for now they couldn't do more.
At this time, the doorbell on the glass door rang again, and Chitose Hiroshi, who was dressed like a refreshing ordinary college student in a simple white shirt and cashmere sweater, walked in, followed by a very low-key Deba wearing a hat and black-rimmed glasses. generals.After seeing the scene in the hall, the black-haired young man froze for a moment, and closed the door casually.
"Eh? Are you in a meeting?"
"Huh?" Several people sitting near the door turned their heads, and when they saw the "refreshing and simple" Chitose Yang walking in front, they all widened their eyes and showed disgusted expressions.
"Chitose, you guy, did you take the wrong medicine today?"
"Or is it that the woman you chased recently likes this one? Give it up, she's not suitable for you."
"This is not only inappropriate, it is completely contrary to Chitose's nature. When you looked in the mirror before going out today, didn't you feel disgusted by the person in the mirror?"
"You guys, don't make sarcastic remarks, I still do something serious occasionally." Facing the disgusted eyes of his companions, Hiroshi Chitose walked back and forth to lean on the couch beside Kusanagi, with half of his body leaning on the backrest, the long and narrow The pupils were raised lazily, carrying a careless romance.
So his companions rolled their eyes at him and "cut" to show their disgust. Chitose Yang shrugged and spread his hands, very helpless.
"You do believe me."
"The goddamn life winners who are popular with girls can't be trusted!"
"Yes, they should be burned to death!"
"Burn to death, burn to death!"
It seemed that as soon as the word "burn" was mentioned, the wolf cubs of Baruwuluo immediately became excited.Seeing that the atmosphere was going to be distorted, Kusanagi Izumo had no choice but to stand up and cough lightly to interrupt their booing.
"Okay, you guys stop making trouble. Chitose, Izuha, you've worked hard, how is the investigation going?"
"Ah, that, roughly, there is a result."
Izuha Shoomi lifted his glasses. Compared with Chitose Hiroshi, a playboy written all over his body, the calm young man seemed much more reliable.
"According to what you said, Mr. Kusanagi, Hiroshi and I sneaked into the Nanakamado Research Center and chatted with the supernatural beings who were educated and supervised there."
Toshio Kamamoto was stunned, and looked at Izumo Kusanagi, "Mr. Kusanagi, you still made such an arrangement."
"Of course, it's impossible to really believe what Mizuki showed me on the surface." The blond young man looked at Izuha with a calm expression, beckoning him to continue.
"The management over there is actually very loose. It doesn't imprison the personal freedom of the ability users. It's a bit like a student dormitory in a university. They can move around at will, and there are no rules that must be followed."
General Izuba lifted his glasses again, and at this time Zhou Fangzun also looked over, and he became nervous unconsciously.
"Yang and I chatted with several different ability users, and they basically said the same thing. The research center did not force them, because they would be given gifts for cooperating with the inspection, so many people were Take the initiative to come to the center on a regular basis. As for the physical examination, at most it is a blood draw and a film, etc., which are normal physical examination procedures in ordinary hospitals, and there is nothing special about it.”
"What, why does it sound quite human?" Hatta Misaki muttered softly, obviously a little unconvinced.Fushimi, who was typing on the keyboard next to him, suddenly paused slightly.
"The ones you see are all the ability users at the outermost level, right? They should all be ordinary groups below the beta level, without the ability to cause major damage, so it doesn't matter if they are raised outside. Those with powerful abilities Well, have you been in touch?"
Probably because he seldom heard Fushimi take the initiative to talk, Izuba was taken aback for a moment, and then he saw the black-haired boy staring at him, his dark eyes were like a sharp sword with rare sharpness, "Or related rumors, have you heard of it?"
"Yes." After a few seconds of silence, Deba Masamori was still thinking about it, and Chitose Hiroshi, who was leaning on the sofa, suddenly said, and the young man said in a lazy voice, "I was in the center with some lovely girls. Let's talk a little bit."
Under the instant disdainful eyes of the people around, Chitose Yang's face remained unchanged, "Girls are more concerned about gossip and rumors."
"From what they said, there are indeed such rumors in the center that the arrested criminals with superpowers underwent secret experiments underground and then were transformed into human weapons or something."
"However, just like every school has campus ghost stories, it's normal for there to be such rumors in the research center. It doesn't mean anything." It is said that the inspection is conducted by the troops directly under the King of Gold. The staff of the center will be very nervous at this time, but if they want to explain that it is out of awe of the superior and King of Gold, it is completely justified .”
"So you still haven't found anything." Kamamoto scratched his head and muttered as he raised his doubts one by one and then rounded it up before anyone else thought about it.
Chitose Yang said calmly, "You can't say that, at least we know that the center's superficial skills are indeed very good."
It certainly sounded impeccable, and it was indeed in keeping with that hammer's style.Kusanagi was silent for a moment, crossed his fingers on his lips and recalled that the man he saw today was indeed a difficult character to deal with.His eyes inadvertently fell on Sawada Ya who was opposite, the silver-haired little loli grabbed Zhou Fangzun's clothes and leaned against him, her little head was slightly raised and her eyes fell into the void, as if she was thinking about something.
Kusanagi suddenly turned his head to see Yu Jiangchen, "Did you see a seven or eight-year-old child named Anna in the center?"
General Izuyu was slightly taken aback, "Children?"
"No." Chitose Yang said affirmatively, "There are no children in the center."
When she heard Anna's name, Sawada Ya had already put back her wandering thoughts. As soon as Chitose Yang opened his mouth, she immediately shifted her eyes to him together with the others.
Facing other people's suspicious gazes, the active playboy shrugged, "I chatted with the young lady who works in the center, she happens to be in charge of the materials, and there is no child under the age of ten among all the registration staff in the center. "
"..." Toshio Kamamoto had a complex expression on his face, "Ah, only at this time do I think you are still useful."
Hiroshi Chitose ignored him, but looked down at Kusanagi and asked strangely, "Who is Anna?"
The blond young man sighed slightly, "It's Mi's friend."
Deba Masaoomi and Chitose Hiroshi who did not act together with Kusanagi and the others immediately turned their attention to Sawada Ya. The little girl was sitting on the sofa, the long silver hair draped over her shoulders was flowing with the sunlight coming in from the window, a pair of clear big eyes Eyes watched them quietly.
Half an hour ago, I went back to Barbara's car.
"Ya, why did you agree to Mitsuru's proposal?"
The silver-haired little loli sat on the back seat and pinched her fingers, absently turning her head to the outside, "Because Anna is there."
"Anna?"
Ze Tianya nodded slightly and looked out of the window. In her vision, a brilliant phantom rose above the Imperial Pillar Tower in the distance. The stone slabs with mysterious runes hovered like a condescending bird looking down at the human world. Eye.A consciousness she was familiar with tentatively approached the slate, and was suddenly bounced off by the halo around the slate.
Little Lolita bit her lip, a hint of worry flashed in her lavender eyes.
anna...
That night, Sawada Ya saw Anna again in the dream space.
The dark tide washes over the shore, two little girls with long silver hair sit side by side on the white reef, and the farthest wave of water can barely reach their feet.This is the depths of Anna's dream, an endless sea of pitch black.
"Mi, have you come to the center today?"
Sawada Ya turned her face to look at Anna who was talking to her, and nodded.
"……very dangerous."
"You mean the mallet?"
"Ah."
Little Lolita sighed softly and puffed her cheeks, "But if I don't come, I won't be able to give Anna my blood."
Anna's eyes widened slightly, and the slightly distressed face of the silver-haired little girl was reflected in the red pupils.At this time, the little girl had already raised her head and looked at her.
"I saw the slate today."
"..."
"Does Anna want to be king?"
After a few seconds of silence, Anna lowered her eyes and said softly, "Mitsui, you want me to be the Green King."
"What about Anna herself, do you want to be King Qing?"
This time Anna remained silent for a longer time. After a while, she raised her head slightly to meet the eyes of the people around her.
"What is a king?" She asked in a daze.
Sawada Ya blinked, "Anna, there is no way to be recognized by Slate."
Not being recognized by the slate, and forced to approach, even if the physical injury can be healed by the mallet, the spirit will still be eroded by the slate after a long time, that guy is not easy to talk at all.
"Why did you give me blood?" Anna suddenly returned to the previous topic.
"Ah." Ze Tianya pulled her thoughts back from the Dresden stone slab, she turned her head to look at the people around her, raised her hand and touched her head, and said as a matter of course, "Because I want to protect Anna .”
"Why protect me?"
Sawada Ya blinked, and Anna's doll-like dazed delicate face was reflected in her light purple pupils.
"Because Anna asked me for help."
The author has something to say: the stone slab has damage to Anna, and Mi's blood can alleviate this damage, so she has to send the blood in through the mallet.
Then, really, don't take the mallet too seriously, he's just a fly on the surface
