130: Eerie Light

Shuya was taken aback, and replied:

"Thank you, I'll handle it as soon as possible."

Aoki Shin replied, "Okay."

"Ugh, this is so annoying."

Shuya shook his head.

What Aoki Shin was referring to was actually a very famous TV program.

The Red and White Song Battle) is an annual event in Japan.

Due to their outstanding performance this year, Hanazawa Sakura and Shuya been invited and are scheduled to appear.

But now that this has happened, things are a bit dangerous.

Moreover, given the situation with the Red and White Song Battle wedding, it's hard to guarantee that another schedule won't change.

Shuya stopped sitting and went to check the equipment.

What are you doing?

Shizuka Hiratsuka asked curiously.

"To protect my spendthrift parents. It was one thing for them to stay hidden, but now that they've come out, there's a high chance they've been exposed, and someone might come looking for them."

Shuya answered.

And it's time to urge Inoue Hikoo to resolve the matter.

"Oh? There's a fight going on?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka became excited.

Shuya was taken aback, thought for a moment, and then looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka.

He said, "An equal exchange: I'll introduce you to my mom, and you'll help me fight."

"Make a deal!"

Shizuka Hiratsuka rushed off to change her clothes in high spirits, and soon came out carrying her gauntlets.

Shuya brought the Talisman and the First Snow.

Let's go.

The two set off, and he got on Shizuka Hiratsuka's motorcycle, speeding along the night streets.

"Oh."

On the motorcycle, Shuya chuckled softly.

What are you laughing at?

"I just never expected that we, who were fighting to the death before, would now be working together."

"Wow, are you really that sentimental?"

"It's alright, after all, it hasn't degenerated into Gorilla yet."

"You little brat, try saying 'Gorilla' again! Besides, have you ever seen Gorilla with such a great physique?"

"Now I see it."

"Ugh! I'm so angry! You little brat, are you looking for trouble?!"

"Don't be upset, miss. Watch where you're going. It's okay that the car overturned, but I'm in a hurry."

"Shut up, you're so noisy!"

After a friendly exchange, the two quickly arrived at their destination.

This is a dilapidated three-story apartment building, without even a security guard.

The motorcycle stopped, Shuya and Shizuka Hiratsuka landed.

"Um?"

Shuya noticed someone looking at him, and with a casual glance, he knew it was the police officers guarding the area.

Inoue Hikoo and Hanazawa Sakura are both public figures, so if something happens to them, it will have a huge impact. That's why the police have stationed people here to guard the area.

When they saw Shuya, he didn't come out; he was still sitting in his inconspicuous private car.

It's possible that Takaita Daisuke already informed them.

Shuya ignored him and led Shizuka Hiratsuka to room 201 on the second floor, the room closest to the stairs.

He knocked on the door.

There was no response, but the faint sound of the television coming from inside had been turned off.

Playing dead.

Having no other choice, Shuya spoke up, "It is I, Shuya."

"..."

He heard Inoue Hikoo's footsteps approaching, holding his breath as he looked through the peephole.

"Hey."

Shuya sneered and leaned in to press his eyes against the cat's eye.

"Aaaaaah! A ghost!"

A scream of extreme Inoue Hikoo came from inside, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Cool."

Shuya.

Shizuka Hiratsuka glanced sideways. "You little rascal, you really are wicked."

"Whatever you say."

Shuya wait any longer and directly used his Power of Will to probe into the door and open it.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Inoue Hikoo had scrambled to his feet in a disheveled state, and Hanazawa Sakura, who had come running at the sound of his voice.

"Yo, good evening."

Shuya looked at the two of them with a normal expression.

"Oh my, it really is Shu-chan."

Hanazawa Sakura asked in surprise, "How did you find us?"

She had actually tried calling him, but Shuya's phone was already switched off, so she couldn't get through.

Section 143, Chapter 130: The Strange Light

"Um?"

Hanazawa Sakura immediately spotted Shuya Shizuka Hiratsuka.

Shizuka Hiratsuka, carrying her gauntlets, greeted him with a friendly smile, "Hello, Ms. Hanazawa. Nice to meet you. I'm Shizuka Hiratsuka."

Hanazawa Sakura blurted out:

"Ah, Shu-chan has met a new woman! And he even brought her to... meet... meet the parents?!"

"What! You brat, you don't like Rena anymore?"

Inoue Hikoo widened his eyes in feigned surprise, but was actually deliberately revealing information as revenge.

"Miss Rena? Who is that? Oh, you have someone you like? Tell me about it."

Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled mischievously.

"It's none of your business," Shuya replied first, then said to Hanazawa Sakura, "He's just a friend of mine, I called him over to help."

What kind of help do you need?

Hanazawa Sakura was a little confused.

"Let's go inside and talk."

Shuya the Way.

"Alright."

The group went inside.

Hanazawa Sakura poured four cups of tea.

Inoue Hikoo scoffed first, "If you're here to persuade me to change the ending, then you'd better go back now. Let me tell you, even if I, Inoue Hikoo, am sprayed to death, die outside, or jump off this cliff, I will never change the ending!"

Is this a case of "it smells so good"?

Shuya remained noncommittal. "I can't be bothered with your petty affairs, and I didn't come here for that."

He said directly, "You guys were so careless. If you were hiding, you shouldn't have come out. And if you did come out, you should have gone straight to the police station. Why did you have to come back here?"

What do you mean by that?

Inoue Hikoo had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

"Don't you know how popular Alien Baby Hikari-chan? Why do you assume that everyone who likes it is an ordinary person?"

"..."

Inoue Hikoo's expression gradually darkened; he too had seen the documents left by his father.

He understood the destructive power of martial artists better than the average person.

He had also heard Shuya talk about Strange Arts.

I immediately realized what Shuya wanted to say.

Hanazawa Sakura asked worriedly, "Then how about we go to the police station now?"

"It's too late. It's completely dark now. It's not safe to go out. We'd better wait until tomorrow during the day."

In fact, if Shizuka Hiratsuka hadn't recognized the martial artist she had beaten in the crowd, Shuya would never have imagined that a martial artist was a fan.

This is another mistake based on empiricism.

The values and beliefs formed in a past life are not so easy to completely change.

In a past life, if an author left a bad ending, people would at most vent their frustrations by picking up their keyboards, or simply delete the book without saying anything, like that author who lost over fifty favorites for being cheeky.

No one would think about doing anything in reality.

But it's different here.

All I can say is...

There's a risk of projects going unfinished; abandoning projects requires caution.

Shuya believed that those martial artists wouldn't dare to actually hurt anyone, but playing a little prank was quite possible.

But Shuya couldn't be certain whether there would be a madman among them.

He came just in case.

He had barely finished expressing his concerns when his expression changed, Shizuka Hiratsuka simultaneously turned to look towards the door.

"I'll go."

Shuya told Shizuka Hiratsuka to stay behind, then quickly opened the door, sword in hand.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a hooded man who looked like he had just put something down and was getting up from a bent-over position.

The man was wearing a hat, so his face was obscured.

Shuya's gaze swept across the ground; there was a small box.

He asked, "Who are you?"

The man was clearly stunned when he saw Shuya; he hadn't expected to be discovered.
