Super power krypton gold [Comprehensive]

The search on the first day of the incident ended with unsatisfactory results because the major suspect was missing.

That night, I rented the bachelor apartment alone.

"In the end, I still haven't been able to find any further effective information..."

After tidying up and washing up, I called Hotaru to come and sit on my lap according to my usual habit, and wiped his wet hair with a towel.

Occasionally I raised my head and yelled in the direction of the bathroom:

"Zhen, how's the water temperature?"

"no problem--"

Amidst the noisy running water, Joan Alter raised her voice impatiently, and answered me in a long voice: "Compared to this, you should probably buy some high-end body lotion, right? Put lard on it."

"Next time--"

I also followed suit and elongated my tone, "I haven't been paid this month's salary. If I solve this murder case, I might get a bonus."

"Qian, are you sure you can find Xing Tao?"

Probably because he became interested in the word "solve", Hotaru suddenly raised his face to look at me.Facing his eyes that are as clear and bright as the starry sky on a summer night, I really can't be perfunctory.

"It's hard to say, in short, I can only try my best to find it. Tomorrow I will go to meet his sister first, and then visit his teachers and classmates one by one... Sigh, just thinking about it makes my back hurt. Why is our department not good at it?" What about the teleportation abilities?"

"You're beautiful."

Joan Alter sarcastically said through the sound of the water: "Then why don't you summon Holmes? By the way, that detective looked very suspicious, so I might have burned him as soon as he appeared."

...It's ok, Avenger burns Ruler, I think it should be very effective.

After helping Hotaru dry her hair, I sat cross-legged on the sofa and turned on my laptop, casually glanced at the dedicated colleagues chat group within the department.

"Senior Yuzuki, she is not human at all! ! ! ! ! 』

——At a glance, I saw the violent words that cannot be ignored.

Not only that, other online members in the group also echoed in unison:

"That's right!Even the section chief supported her proposal. Today is Saturday, and the adults are all on a date. Why do we have to stay up late to study the tragic lives of children? ? ? ...Damn it, it's too miserable, it almost makes my mother cry. 』

"No, I'm going to throw up.I never want to see the words "review" again in my life. 』

"Just pray that it won't be your turn to write a review next time."I'm dying too, I suspect I'll develop PTSD with the schedule, I think I'll need a bit of therapy tomorrow. 』

"I heard that the child abduction case by the city police has also gone wrong. I beg the section chief. I will kneel down to the old man. Please transfer me there..."

『To be reasonable, can we sue Yuki for emotional damage?Let us work overtime to watch this kind of stuff, and we must "read it word by word and find out effective information from it". Isn't this trying to drive people out of depression? 』

"Really, it's too depressing...reminds me of my middle school days...to persuade Senior Yuuki to be kind..."

Taking this speech as a watershed, the style of painting in the group has changed, from "collective criticism of workplace sluts" to passionate exchange of the text content that each is responsible for reading, showing a trace of grief and bitterness that cannot be recalled in pity.

Combining their conversations and what I saw with my own eyes during the day, I roughly outlined the outline of Hing Taoying's life in the past 14 years.

There is no doubt that from birth - even before birth, he had no choice but to live in a high-pressure environment created by his parents.The "education" given to him by the Xingdao couple probably dates back to prenatal education.

That is to say, long before giving birth to this child, they have cast a perfect set of children's molds in their hearts according to their own expectations and values.They believe from the bottom of their hearts that no matter whether the baby is round or flat, as long as they cut their feet and fit their shoes, they will cut off the "unnecessary" redundant parts of his body, and then fill in the defects and deficiencies in their eyes like a duck, accompanied by fire. After burning, there will be perfect pottery in the end.

It seems that an ideal son can really be "crafted" in this way.

——So, what else?

In addition to everything we have seen, is there any other hidden secrets of the Xingdao family that are directly related to the occurrence of this tragedy?

I shudder.

When I came back to my senses, I found that I had unconsciously squeezed the mouse tightly.

"...Student Xingdao, you don't usually smile much at school."

Hotaru sat on the side with his knees hugged, confusion and worry flickered alternately in his clear pupils.

"Humans are so difficult to understand. His father and mother, why did they do this?"

"It's because of 'expectation'."

The Cave King was sitting at the dining table—unfortunately, the slum girl’s apartment didn’t have a second sofa—reading the case materials I brought back from the headquarters.

"Parents who have a bad career hope to fulfill their regrets in their children, and parents who have achieved something hope to replicate their success in their children. This is an irreproachable psychology. But unfortunately, there are quite a few ' 'Expectation', in essence, is just wishful thinking."

"Hmph, just listening to it makes people angry. Since there are so many expectations, it is better to place them on yourself than to count on the children."

Joan Alter snorted disapprovingly.

"But, I don't hate Jill's 'expectations' of me. After all, I was born because of his wishes."

"That's why, he is like your father to you."

I clenched my fist and tapped my palm, "That's right, although you are based on Joan of Arc, it also contains Marshal Gilles de Ray's wish for 'Joan of Arc', that's why you are different. Because of the existence of Joan of Arc. So, can Joan of Arc be considered your mother..."

"...?!?!?!"

The sound of water from the shower nozzle stopped abruptly.In the next second, the bathroom door slammed open like a shell, and a piece of soap flew towards my forehead precisely and at high speed——

"It's just not right!!! What nonsense are you talking about, who is her daughter?! Kill you!!!!"

——and so on, accompanied by the background sound of Joan Alter's exasperated and incoherent speech.

"Huh?!"

Fortunately, the simple witch didn't use the maximum firepower. I lowered my head and dodged the whistling soap with a slight margin, and then I heard it collide violently with the wall behind me, emitting a lively and festive sound like a firecracker explosion. sound.

"...Oops, I'm afraid this soap is too broken to read."

I maintained the posture of crouching with my head in my arms and muttered to myself, "Recycle it and use it as washing powder."

"I can't read your petty thoughts. I said, that cave king, don't you have the skill of 'Golden Rule'? Please, please help this little Master a little bit, so that she doesn't have to be so poor Alright?"

"Unfortunately."

The Cave King spread his hands calmly, "Now we are not real servants, and whether we can exert our power still depends on Qian's ability. She thought that after summoning me, she would be able to do it once and for all...but unfortunately, her ability attribute It is determined that her property will only be 'decreased because of the ability', and will not increase because of us."

Joan of Arc sighed: "In short, it means 'you can't use skills related to money', right? What kind of rubbish ability is this..."

"........."

Although I was very sad, I couldn't refute it.

Sometimes I have secretly imagined that if I were a domineering daughter with billions of dollars, I might have already established my own Chaldea, Honmaru, Tutorial Palace, Yinyangliao by relying on this ability... With this private team The army is the capital, and if you don't do it well, you can embark on the road of dominating one side and becoming a powerful social boss.

Instead of huddling in a [-]-square-meter single apartment like a hamster hoarding food like now, collecting soap that is smashed to pieces.

In fact, it’s not that I’m boasting. I’ve also received invitations from illegal organizations several times. Each of them has their own advantages and disadvantages.After all, when it comes to illegal business, the biggest benefit is a huge profit.In the underground world, any person with combat power is a precious resource that cannot be bought with a thousand dollars.

But, entirely out of my own will and choice, I am still here.

As long as I'm Akane Yuki, I won't and won't be able to embark on the path of betraying myself.

To put it plainly, it is:

—Go away, you damned conscience, why do you want to keep me from getting rich! !

"Speaking of which... if it wasn't for krypton gold, I wouldn't be digging like this."

While roaring so hoarsely in my heart, I held the soap powder in my palm, curled my neck and defended myself in a low voice.

"So, what kind of unlucky ability is yours. Although the 'I' in this world was born because of your ability, it seems that I have no right to complain..."

Joan of Arc was already dressed neatly at this time, and stepped out shaking the water droplets on her short hair.

"Speaking of which, Master, besides you, are there any other similar summoning system users in this world? Do they also need krypton gold?"

"Yes, there are, but the types and properties are quite different."

My heart moved, and I skillfully clicked on the web page favorites, opened a blog page with a rather fresh style and handed it to her.

"Here, this is another summoner besides me."

"Huh? This webpage... wait a minute, what is this???"

Joan's expression looked as if someone had punched her in the face, and she couldn't even turn her tongue:

"This is, I—'My Love Diary with Yizheng'?????"

On the pleasing pastoral style webpage, you can see the title of the blog post decorated in the shape of a heart, as well as a group photo of a quiet girl and a handsome young man.Judging from the photos alone, the two seem to be just ordinary young couples that can be seen everywhere, but if you know the true identity of the young man, there may be quite a few Touken Ranbu players fainted on the spot due to shock, and some of the girlfriend fans who have been shocked for a while Oxygen was required on the spot.

"It means literally."

I folded my hands and propped my chin, and looked sideways at Jeanne's surprised expression full of mischief.Judging from the reaction, there is no doubt that now she is also a real knife man player.

"Nagano prefecture, do you know? The country's leading natural scenic area, hot springs and ancient buildings are also famous. She is a free superhuman who lives in seclusion in that area. Then you can summon that character to reality], we named it 'Cooking Force Release'."

Joan of Arc: "????? This is okay???"

Me: "That's fine too. And it's hard to write 300 million words, don't underestimate her."

"…………"

For a moment, I felt that as an otome lover, jealousy seemed to tear Joan's walls apart.

No wonder.After all, in the Xingyue world on the inside of the screen, the release of cooking power has no practical significance. This dream-like delusion can only be realized through the Holy Grail.

"but……"

At some point, the Cave King had already leaned silently on the back of the sofa chair, his sharp eyes flicked across the webpage like a dragonfly on water:

"There seems to be only one character she summoned from beginning to end."

"Huh? Really."

Hotaru put his face close to the monitor with a serious face, "In this blog, everything is about one issue at a time."

"of course."

Smiling, I stretched out my hands and rubbed Hotaru's fluffy hair, soaking in the fragrance of shampoo.

"Because she only likes one person at a time...a knife. For her, the moment she completes the first summoning, she no longer needs to use abilities. By the way, Nagano Prefecture The Ability Secret Service Division once discussed whether to ban her from posting photos, but netizens all regarded this as a fake cosplay, so the official side opened up to her. Showing affection is a basic human right."

"Hey, I don't think it's quite romantic."

Joan of Arc was amazed, and at the same time folded her arms and squinted at me with ulterior motives.

"If the Master is not so greedy and only summons one person like her, he should be able to live a more prosperous life, right?"

"probably."

I agreed without changing my face, "Who will let me eat this bowl of rice. I not only need someone to fall in love with me, but also someone to help me beat someone up."

"Who wants to fall in love with you?"

Joan turned her face away and spat, but she still couldn't hold back her curiosity, and then asked, "There isn't a serious supernatural user, is the summoning of characters purely for work?"

(Didn't you use the Holy Grail to play the Otome game...)

I suppressed this five-element rant to the bottom of my heart, and told her another story that our colleagues like to talk about:

"Yes, there was a case in Shinjuku in the past two years. An otaku player of the Fleet Collection awakened his ability. The effect is [Every time you spend 1000 hours of game time on the ship girl, you can summon a sword man] .”

"…………No, what's wrong with this?!! It's the other way around, in every sense!!!"

"There's nothing wrong. Both are games released by dmm, so you can treat them as linkage."

"How can there be such a sad linkage in the world?! Men play games for girls, what should we do with the nerd's mood! No, although I don't care much about him!!"

"It seems that he later sent all the sword men he summoned to work, so he made a fortune and became a happy cash flow just like this blogger."

"This is possible too--------!!!!!!!"

"That's fine too. By the way, there are people who have the ability to turn poodles into Fufu..."

"This is not a summoning anymore, it's just an ordinary pet groomer?!"

……

……

……

The time of the happy night talk always passed very quickly. When the hands pointed to twelve o'clock, I exerted my majesty as the head of the family (if I had any), and drove them back to bed one by one involuntarily.

That being said, in fact, the only ones who really had a "bed" to sleep in were Joan and I, and we had to squeeze into the only single bed.Joan of Arc alter was the first female character I summoned. Before that, I never had the need to buy a double bed.

Because no one is dating me.

Kidding.

Except for the two of us, the Cave King has been laying futons on the sofa in the living room, and Hotaru is living in the closet like Kagura.When I was bleary-eyed in the morning, I often thought he was a zashiki boy or an elf living in my house.

"Master."

Just as I was about to enter the bedroom, the Cave King suddenly stopped me from behind.

"what happened?"

I stood still and looked back at him.Because of the presence of Joan of Arc and me at home, he kept his clothes decent even at night, and his white hair, which was not completely dry, hung obediently on the side of his neck and forehead, and he no longer seemed to have the sharp and flamboyant edges and corners in normal times. Instead, it presents a hazy, dusty gentleness under the dim light.

I raised my gaze slightly, stared silently at his shining golden pupils, and vaguely realized what he would say next.

"Master."

He repeated again, "I know you care about the safety of your friends. But, are you sure you want to continue to participate in the investigation of this case?"

"This is my job."

I wriggled my throat and made a rough and dry sound like sandpaper sanding a piece of wood.

"You should be able to see that too."

He turned a deaf ear to my argument, and continued without hesitation: "The essence of this incident is 'revenge'. It is the revenge of children against adults, children against parents—just like you always want to do. You The deeper you get involved in this, the heavier the mental burden you have to bear. For you, it is tantamount to waking up a wound that has never healed."

"..."

I know he is right.

Even if I am convinced that there is something hidden behind this murder, I will never be wrong.In that horrific crime scene, in addition to violence and madness, engraved with the same anger and hatred in my chest, which clearly pointed to a certain "adult".Personally, it is really difficult for me to intervene in this case without any personal feelings.

But, also because of this——

"Edmund."

I looked him in the eyes and spoke softly but firmly.

"It is true that the parent-child relationship was a trauma for me. But if the wound still hurts, it is not only because I cannot revenge, but also because I know, [my mother was not saved]."

Time cannot be turned back.

What is lost cannot be retrieved.

So, I have to do what I can still do.This is both the knife to open the wound and the only good medicine to heal it.

"So, I have to save everyone who can possibly be saved."

Leaving the last sentence, I turned around bluntly and neatly on the spot, clutched my clothes tightly and walked towards the door without looking back.

Then, I heard a small, steady vibration of the air behind me.

That's laughter.

As if to show mercy to a hopeless fool, or to offer a blessing to a sailor who sets sail for the first time.The man who was later called "The Count of Monte Cristo" said to me with a smile:

"That is to say, did you deliberately choose a more difficult and difficult path? Very good, there is nothing wrong with it! This is like my Master. In this case, when you stumble and fall on the road, call—"

"—I know, I will call you! So please, don't shout and don't laugh!!"

When I heard the second half of the sentence, I staggered suddenly, put away the overwhelming touch and warmth in my heart in a panic, and interrupted him hastily.

"In the middle of the night, the sound insulation of this apartment is not good, and it is likely to disturb the residents... I can't afford the next fine!!"

The author has something to say:

The next sentence of the title is "Shangsi defends Luntai for the country" (Roll

I won’t reply one by one to the happy birthday messages I received in the last chapter, I’m lazy to say thank you everyone, I’ve seen it all!Love you guys!Bihart!

Akane's own problems will be solved slowly, don't be afraid if the setting is not very dark
