Chapter 673 Xu Jing Appears Again
Kyoto Psychic Administration Shinjuku Branch.
The agents of the Administration were all on standby in the building because of the riots and strange phenomena on the streets. A protective net was also activated around the building to isolate those invisible things.
The agents who had just got off work also received the information from the Administration. Those on the road turned back to the Administration urgently, and those who had not left decided to stay.
This kind of thing is not the first time that Sunrise has happened, but it is not frequent. The agents have learned about this incident in the training camp when they joined the company.
This incident is called the "Invisible Hazard Proliferation Crisis", abbreviated as I.H.P.C.
I.H.P.C has occurred four times in total. The first time was eighteen years ago. That incident caused great losses. Later, with the assistance of the United Federation, the Sunrise Administration developed special detection and protection devices and deployed them on the streets of Shinjuku.
Fortunately, I.H.P.C only occurs in Shinjuku, so it has not spread to other places. Although the whole thing looks suspicious, it is also a good result.
After all, this unsolvable disaster has not spread to the whole of Risheng. Otherwise, with the national strength of Risheng, it would be difficult to deploy such expensive protective equipment throughout the country. At that time, I am afraid that only a limited number of important cities can be protected, and other areas will be abandoned, and then the United Nations will be requested for assistance.
Ryoko and Akita are standing in the lobby of the Shinjuku branch building of the Administration at this moment. Through the window, they can see the Self-Defense Forces and Psychic Special Forces evacuating the streets outside.
The government has just issued a temporary curfew through emergency news, and the hospital's ambulance team has also followed the Psychic Special Forces to pick up the bodies of victims on the street.
"This is a big trouble." Ryoko said to herself with her hands on her waist. The Administration has entered the highest level of alert, but as ordinary agents, they can't do anything. In this case, only the special forces can be relied on.
"Put those cases aside, just treat them as paid vacations, but I hope this matter will pass quickly..." Akita said as he bought two cans of sake from the vending machine and handed them to Ryoko.
"Don't you want to call Sapporo? Your father should have seen the news, right?" Ryoko took the sake and unscrewed the ring.
"I've changed my number." Akita said, looking at the night sky outside the window.
"You're really ruthless. Hasn't your relationship with your father eased yet?" Ryoko asked.
"Tsk... that old man..." Akita scratched the back of his head.
The two were silent for a while. It was already night, and the emergency entrance and exit under the building were busy. Some agents were running from outside the protective circle to inside. The psychic special forces scanned them one by one and let them pass.
"Hey, you two."
Ryoko and Akita turned around when they heard the voice, and saw an old man in a suit standing behind them. This man was the director of the Shinjuku branch of the Sunrise Psychic Administration, and his name was Yamamoto.
"Director... Director?" Akita said in surprise.
"You two, come here." Director Yamamoto didn't say much nonsense, made a gesture, and turned around and left.
Ryoko and Akita naturally followed immediately. They took the minister's elevator with the minister and came to the minister's office on the top floor of the administration.
When the minister opened the door, Akita saw that there was already someone in the office. A woman with long black hair was sitting on the sofa, wearing a red business suit and a black leather skirt.
The two followed the minister into the office. The minister looked at Akita, who understood and turned around to close the door.
The black-haired woman stood up and looked at Akita and Ryoko.
"This is... Xu Jing, an agent of the Phoenix Republic Administration." The minister introduced.
"Hello..." Xu Jing extended her hand to Ryoko and Akita, speaking fluent Japanese.
The three shook hands, and then the minister returned to the desk and asked everyone to sit down.
"So... what's the matter?" Ryoko asked.
"A case you handled on the way this afternoon was originally to be transferred to the Public Security Department, but was later transferred to the Psychic Crime Department of the Administration... Remember it?" the minister asked.
"It's hard to forget that man." Akita replied.
"Can you describe the situation at that time?" Xu Jing asked.
"Is this confidential? That man is from Feihuang, but he is in Sunrise. It is not the turn of Feihuang to intervene in the case, right?" Ryoko was a little unhappy.
"Ryoko, I hope you can cooperate with Miss Xu Jing on this matter." The director said.
"Actually, there is nothing much to say. At first we thought it was just an ordinary case of abduction of a girl. Later, after we came to the door, we had a brief contact with the man." Akita explained.
Ryoko looked at Akita, and Akita hinted.
Judging from the director's decision and tone of speech, Akita guessed that this Xu Jing was not just an agent of the Administration.
"Then what? What did he do to you? What does the woman accompanying him look like?" Xu Jing asked.
"That girl is just an ordinary beautiful girl, right? When we arrived, she was already unconscious and there was no way to ask." Akita said.
"Why are you entangled in this case now? I.H.P.C is happening on Shinjuku Street!" Ryoko reminded.
"That man is more important than I.H." Xu Jing said lightly.
Akita and Ryoko were ready to explode, but the minister coughed twice and motioned for them to continue.
"The man disappeared in the end. I was searching him for a while, and when I looked up, he disappeared. He ran away with the woman." Ryoko said.
"Oh... is that so? I haven't seen him use this technique before..." Xu Jing said, as if talking to herself.
"Is that the specific situation? Then you can take a look at this photo and see if the man and woman are the ones in the photo." The minister said.
The minister put the two photos on the table and motioned for them to look.
Akita walked up, picked up the two photos, and returned to his seat to look at them with Ryoko. The photo showed a young man from the Phoenix wearing a black suit and a young woman from the United Federation with purple hair.
"This... the man is indeed this, but this woman... I don't know her. She is an Asian woman. Judging from her appearance, she should also be from the Phoenix." Akita said.
"Oh? A different woman..." Xu Jing was stunned.
"What do you mean by a different one? Did this man come a long time ago?" Ryoko asked.
"Okay, you can leave. I am directly responsible for this case now." The minister did not answer Ryoko and directly ordered them to leave.
"What? This matter has no beginning or end." Ryoko complained.
"It may involve a large-scale human smuggling case of Feihuang. I have already contacted officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Feihuang has also sent Miss Xu Jing to cooperate. It is related to the diplomacy of the two countries, so I will handle this case personally." The minister said.
Akita stood up, bowed to the minister, and then urged Ryoko to follow him. Ryoko also stood up and bowed very reluctantly, and followed Akita out the door.
Akita and Ryoko entered the elevator, and Akita finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What? This is... nonsense." Ryoko sighed.
"Don't ask, this matter is not simple, it is not something we can intervene in." Akita said.
"I can see that the woman is not from the Administration at all, right?" Ryoko said.
"It is obvious that the minister can come in person. Let's not ask anymore." Akita shook his head.
In the minister's office.
"Ms. Xu Jing, I have provided the greatest convenience. You have also seen the current situation in Shinjuku." Minister Yamamoto looked at Xu Jing, with some hints in his eyes.
"I know, I know you want to find a permanent solution to the problem." Xu Jing said.
"This man and woman appeared on the streets of Shinjuku more than two weeks ago, and have been looking for information about Qian Chunye. We don't know their purpose." Director Yamamoto said.
"The man's name is Chen Ke, a special alienated individual that our foundation has decided to take in. He has the ability to eliminate Qian Chunye." Xu Jing said.
"Do you have a way to get him to help us eliminate Qian Chunye and completely end I.H.P.C?" the director asked.
"Let's find him first." Xu Jing said.
