Anomalous ability is Doctor Mori

62

The bright red high-heeled shoes hit the ground, and Alice walked through the corridor with a solemn and calm face.In order to hold this banquet, Umezawa Kinzo has booked the entire hotel, and PortMafia is responsible for the security practices, which is convenient for them to block the scene at this moment.The black suits had already controlled the elevator and the corridors. Alice ignored the awe-inspiring sight all the way and took the elevator all the way down.It wasn't until getting into the car parked in the underground garage that the mask-like calm on the girl's face finally dissipated.

She opened the car refrigerator, took out a cold towel from it, and pressed the towel on her forehead with a snap.

The instant chill made Alice's hairs stand on end, and she shrugged her shoulders physiologically.

Very good, she is calm now.

The girl let out a long breath, and regardless of her blood stains, she leaned back in the chair and removed the towel.

The ransom note, the sniping, and the death of Umezawa Kinzo.And, 5000 billion.

This is really life is like chocolate, accidents are always caught off guard.A few hours ago, who would have thought that a reception could be so ups and downs.Even Alice was so shocked that she almost forgot to breathe when Umezawa Kinzo said the phrase "It's all for you".The reason why she was able to deal with it calmly afterwards was that on the one hand, the number was so huge that it was difficult to arouse real feelings, and on the other hand, it was also because she quickly realized that what Mr. Mei Ze gave her was a huge and shocking job. gift, is also a very tricky puzzle.

While wiping her hands absently, she regurgitated all the conversations she had with Umezawa Kinzo tonight in her mind, and Alice's expression was extremely complicated for a moment.

So when Mori Ogai got into the car after arranging the scene, her first sentence was, "He did it on purpose."

"I think so too." Mori Ogai nodded and replied while instructing the driver to drive back to PortMafia.

"If it is true as he said, [Eye of Appreciation] can not only see items, I even suspect that he has predicted that tonight is his death."

"...Is that why you choose this time to announce your last words?"

"If it was mine, I would choose this way."

"Is he that sure?"

"No, he's not so much sure as he's gambling."

Mori Ogai sat across from Alice.As the man said, he leaned back on the back of the chair, crossed his legs, put his hands on his knees, touched his fingers, and narrowed his eyes—this is his usual posture when thinking.

"The blackmail letter is true. It is true that someone or an organization is spying on his property. It is true that he does not want to be forced to hand over his property. It is also true that he wants to hand over the property to you. But all of this is true. Based on your reaction. Everything Umezawa Kinzo said and did to you tonight was a test.”

"I thought of that."

"And, he has already made preparations if you fail the temptation."

"Ah."

Alice looked out the window and nodded.She threw the towel aside casually, turned her head and cast her eyes out of the car window, looking at the neon lights of the scenery that quickly swept back along the road.

Property and cash are two concepts.Bill Gates has a net worth of more than 1000 billion U.S. dollars, not to say that he has more than 1000 billion U.S. dollars in cash.In addition to his collection of antiques, Mei Ze's wealth is mostly in the industries he invested in.If you just want to donate the inheritance to someone, you don’t need to bother to convert it into “gold jewelry and bearer bonds worth 5000 billion yen.” This is not something that can be raised in a short time.

Refer to the time required to convert this wealth.Alice felt that his action should have been earlier than the blackmail letter.She even deeply suspected that it wasn't just Umezawa Kinzo's health that attracted the blackmail letter, it was even more likely that he showed clues when he switched assets.

Because compared with "assets" such as funds, equity, real estate, enterprises, etc. that can continue to generate income, are entangled with complex interests, have no successors, and cannot be simply plundered by ordinary organizations or individuals, "the value of 5000 billion yen The only advantage of "gold jewels and bearer bonds" is that it is truly barren wealth.As Umezawa Kinzo himself said, the money "does not have a name written on it."There is no need for handover procedures, no need to beat around the bush, no need for anyone's approval, if you pick it up, you earn it, and if you find it, you can take it.In the underworld/road large-scale transactions, jewelry and gold can be used directly without even going through the step of money laundering.In the black world, precious metals are far more popular and popular than any country's currency.

In this way, Umezawa Kinzo turns what might have been a posthumous intrigue surrounding his legacy, starring his related acquaintances, into a seemingly A scavenger hunt for everyone that doesn't require any entry threshold.

He then personally designated the winner of the game.

Alice reached out and took out a ring from the inside pocket of her suit jacket.

It was a men's tail ring, with a plain platinum band and a square-cut ruby ​​inlaid in the center.At this moment, the bright-coloured ruby ​​glistened under the lighting in the car, but even if it was put into the pocket and taken out again, bloodstains remained in the inlaid depressions that were not wiped clean.

It was the thing that the old man thrust into her hand with that tug when he was confessing his last words.

If he didn't intend to put her together before he died, then this should be the "answer" prepared by Umezawa Kinzo.

"...If I hadn't told him that I wanted to buy Leibo Street..."

"More than that." Mori Ogai shook his head, and suddenly the corners of his mouth curled up, "The temptation started from the very beginning."

If Alice does not accept the invitation, refuses to attend the reception, or only sends subordinates, she will be disqualified in the first place.Because of her personality, even if she knows that such a piece of unowned wealth exists, she will probably feel that "it has nothing to do with me"-although Mori Ogai will not let this happen, but if you can't get it immediately Information, PortMafia could easily lose the upper hand in this game.

This is the first hurdle.And then there's that question.And then it's to see if she'll keep her promise to keep Meze safe.Finally, it was her performance after Umezawa fell to the ground-if Alice hadn't rushed forward to try to rescue the old man, she would have no chance to hear Umezawa Kinzo's last words.

And the premise of everything is what she did after she came to power.It was the "difference" shown by Alice's PortMafia that earned her the approval of Umezawa Kinzo.

Umezawa Kinzo deserves to be a man who can live happily to the age of 90 in Yokohama by relying on non-offensive abilities to keep his fortune.From knowing that his life is not long to planning this internal test against Alice.Mori Ogai couldn't help admiring the boldness, determination, meticulousness and boldness he showed.

"...so, if I didn't choose the right option..."

"It's going to turn into a real disaster."

Mori Ogai took up what she hadn't finished speaking.

This is 5000 billion yen.

Alice nodded.

She has no doubt that as long as one of the guests present tonight escapes, what happened in the venue just now will spread like a virus.Within a few days.Even though PortMafia has tried its best to eliminate all capable opponents at the Yokohama Night table in the past two years, the rest except for the Takase Club are nothing but rotten fish and shrimps that are not worth mentioning.But neither Mori Ogai nor Alice is blindly optimistic about the lower limit of human IQ.

The scary thing is not that everyone is digging three feet blindly without clues.Instead, some people stood up and said they had clues, and used all kinds of false news to stir up disputes and fish in troubled waters.

What's more, this world is not only Yokohama.

——Actually, no matter the blackmail letter or the assassination tonight, doesn’t it all indicate that outsiders have already smelled the sweet smell of blood?

"But even if I get it right, the game is still just beginning."

As a native of Yokohama, Umezawa Kinzo is unrestrained, decisive, meticulous and bold, and also crazy enough.What he gave Alice was the key to this huge treasure, the spell of "Open Sesame".How to deal with the opponent, how to calm down the situation, and how to truly hold this treasure in his hands are the last trials left by him.

"He wants me - or PortMafia - to demonstrate the strength and qualifications commensurate with his mandate."

If it succeeds, then the PortMafia banker takes all - Umezawa Kinzo has passed away, and even if Alice swallows the money and doesn't keep his promise, he can't jump out and say anything.

But if you lose - no, PortMafia can't lose.Even if PortMafia doesn't take the money, Alice believes that they will not collapse in the chaos. This is not a question of self-confidence, but a gap in strength.

If it were a bit more ruthless, PortMafia could just sit on the sidelines and watch other people beat the brains of these 5000 billion people into dog brains, and then wait until they are all out of gas, and then Shi Shiran can just pick up money.

According to Mori Ogai's mantra, this is the best solution.

Because once the situation gets out of control, it is not PortMafia that loses, but Yokohama.

Therefore, this is Umezawa Kinzo's final test. He is betting on whether Alice will take the initiative to take on this responsibility for the entrustment of 5000 billion yuan.

This is a "prank" that uses a city to gamble on a person's sense of responsibility.

"It's crazy." Alice couldn't help reaching out and pressing her forehead.

Is he really not afraid of being entrusted to others?

On the contrary, Mori Ogai wasn't surprised by the old man's attitude of both righteousness and evil, and he had already talked about the business.He paused, looked at Alice's expression, and his tone softened.

"So the most urgent task is to block the flow of information. You did a very good job just now."

"...Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking." Alice turned her face slightly, and glanced at her own family's strange ability with a gentle smile, "'But it would be safer if we could kill all the people at the scene'— —You mean to say that.”

"How could it be!" Mori Ogai suddenly showed an exaggerated look of surprise, crying out for innocence with a particularly innocent expression. "Am I such a cruel person? Alice sauce, you are too much!"

"Well, I'll pretend you didn't."

When she said that, Mori Ogai laughed instead.The man with black hair and red eyes shrugged his shoulders, his tone relaxed almost cold. "The main thing is that Your Excellency Fukuzawa was present. That person will not ignore such things. He didn't say anything at the scene for Alice's sake, but after that, if the more than 100 people are not released in full ——Leave at most a few with real problems——Alice will have a hard time doing it. I won’t hold Alice back in this kind of thing.”

"...Do I need to praise you for being considerate?"

"The bigger reason is that it may be useless to kill all the people present."

"Because it is entirely possible that Umezawa Kinzo has prepared a follow-up in advance." Alice raised her head suddenly, her blue eyes revealing surprise, "He specifically mentioned the gift 'will be sent to everyone's home tomorrow'—so he Likely to send something along with the gift!"

"exactly."

Information like this, if the person concerned wants to spread it, it cannot be stopped.Since Umezawa Kinzo wants PortMafia to show its strength, it will definitely not let the 5000 billion news be blocked easily.

What they are doing now is to compete for the opportunity of this night.

Of course, the main reason is that the girl herself would never agree with such an approach—even if this is indeed the optimal solution.

Just like, she would definitely not agree with PortMafia watching the turmoil happen with a cold eye—it would be better to wait for the unbearable supernatural agent class to come to ask for help and then play with it—and then enjoy the results alone.

Mori Ogai looked at the girl in front of him.Probably because of studying medicine, Alice is a person who is calmer when the situation is more complicated and severe.Usually, he often complains, frowns and rolls his eyes with a particularly rich expression.In the past, she was even more impatient with his exaggeration, and she would kick him with constant swearing or stretching her legs-speaking of which, she didn't kick people very much after becoming the leader. He looked like he was going to jump up after kicking him.

But in the face of major events, she was able to abandon useless feelings and behaved very calmly.

Just like at this moment, the girl's profile was reflected on the car window, she slightly pursed her lips, and unconsciously frowned.A girl of the same age would appear sad or entangled, but her face is beyond her age, almost cold and solemn.

Like a young but iron-blooded queen.

This is a completely different existence from him.Because he was standing closest to the girl, Mori Ogai felt this all the time.He discovered early on that Alice was not actually someone with strong compassion or empathy.Yes, she likes children and is very kind to her family. Because she studies medicine, she does her best for patients and has an almost instinctive reaction when she meets someone who needs help.But at the same time, she is never soft on the enemies she considers.She would sigh for the innocents affected—but only a sigh.

Mori Ogai sometimes thinks that if such an Alice is placed in a chaotic and disorderly place from the beginning and allowed to grow—for example, Yokohama—it is very likely that he will reap an unruly liking. Presumptuous tyrant.Because she has a definite "rank" to different people.Which ones can be pampered by oneself, which ones are allowed to be close to, which ones can be trusted, those who can get her kindness, and which ones are ignored by her.Her judgment standard has never been "whether it is useful" but "whether you like it".Her intelligence and reaction speed are enough to support her ruthlessness.He thought of this when he synchronized the girl's memory - she undoubtedly had the same blood as her father and brother flowing in her bones.

This is what Mori Ogai said was "completely different".

Mori Ogai still remembers that Alice's dislike of "Undead Legion" is not because of its cruelty, but because of its "stupidity".

But such Alice grew up in an upright, peaceful and safe society.Afterwards, I joined an extremely outstanding group and went to study and engage in what can be said to be one of the most noble careers in the world.As a result, the "correct consciousness" advocated by society and education took root in her heart, deeply entwined with her nature, and firmly bound her thinking and behavior within a certain limit.

Self-restraint is the difference between man and beast.This, she did very well.

If the other people around her are attracted by her almost limitless tolerance and warmth, what Mori Ogai appreciates is her calmness mixed with coldness.

He could understand why she had been chosen to represent the "Night"—she was strong enough to be bold enough, but not misguided.

This is true.

For the past two years, she has been doing very well.

Much better than he had originally envisioned.

So this time, she must be able to do well, in her way, in the way Umezawa Kinzo expected.

Mori Ogai's red eyes were slightly bent, and the dark blood-like eyes showed a pure warm color that was very rare in his character and was not mixed with other emotions.

Probably because he smiled too softly, Alice turned and looked over.The girl raised her eyebrows questioningly, but the man with black hair and red eyes just smiled and shook his head.

He just thought of the scene in the banquet hall just now.

At that moment, the girl standing under the lamp was so beautiful and dazzling.Like a perfectly polished diamond, it has cold cuts, sharp edges and corners, and is dazzling.

Hard-edged.
