"Xiao Zhenji, how did you meet your master?" Yang Yang held the little girl's hand as they soared through the sky.

"My grandmother and I run a small hot spring inn in Shirakawa-go, and then my master booked it for a month," Jingūji Maki answered earnestly, glancing cautiously at Yang Yang as she spoke, "Are you really my master's wife?"

Seeing how naive she was, Yang Yang sighed and said, "Of course, we both had a child, but it was unfortunately stolen. If she were still alive, she would be about your age now."

"Huh?!" Xiao Zhenji was stunned. She couldn't possibly handle this strange Yang Yang classmate, and naturally took it seriously. "So, did you try to find your child later?"

Yang Yang said with a sorrowful expression, "I searched, but I couldn't find it. That's why your master has always had a knot in his heart, and he's been arguing with me. Now that he's taken you as his disciple, that knot in his heart should be untied."

Jingūji Maki's little head was in a mess. Little did she know that this "teacher's wife" joked around as casually as drinking water.

The little girl realized that her master had also suffered a lot, and she resolved to behave better after reuniting with him.

Yang Yang, watching the little girl's serious expression, almost injured herself trying to suppress her laughter.

"Master's wife, what kind of person was my master?" Jingūji Maki asked curiously.

Yang Yang thought for a moment, "A magical person."

"So how did you meet him?" Xiao Zhenji asked again.

Yang Yang recalled the figure in the firelight on Laojun Mountain: "Children shouldn't ask so many questions."

"So when exactly will we be able to get to Hokkaido?"

"I'll be there soon, I fly very fast."

"But we've already gotten lost twice."

"Just tell me, is it fast or not?"

However, at that moment, the outline of the coastline appeared in the distance.

I also saw the ferry that you need to take to get to Hokkaido.

This shows that they were on the right track this time.

When Yang Yang looked down at the earth, she saw a black convoy slowly boarding the deck of a ferry. It was the convoy of the Mysterious Affairs Department!

After all 12 vehicles were driven onto the ferry deck, dozens of heavily armed members of the Mysterious Affairs Department on board began to stand guard, creating a tense and menacing atmosphere.

Inside one of the vehicles sat a man dressed in a white hunting robe.

The Yang Yang quickly climbed to a higher altitude to avoid being spotted.

After the ferry set sail and arrived in Hokkaido, the convoy sped to Sapporo and lay in ambush near the home of Jingūji Maki's mother.

She frowned. "I have to tell your master that he didn't lure away the entire Mysterious Affairs Department. It seems that the people he killed before weren't important enough, and the commotion wasn't big enough."

The most important thing about letting Xiao Zhenji meet her mother is not just seeing her once, but how to ensure that the mother is not implicated afterward.

If this cannot be achieved, then Yang Yang can only continue to wait with the little girl until the Mysterious Affairs Department completely gives up.

"What do we do now?" Xiao Zhenji asked.

Yang Yang thought for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up. "I'll take you to an internet cafe to play games. I'm really good at mid lane."

It was this girl who first compared some Awakened to wild monsters, and it seems that it all stemmed from her own experience.

Outside the Osaka City Hall.

A black convoy is about to enter the blockade zone. At this time, a comic convention is being held outside the blockade zone, with all kinds of cosplay characters dressed up in their finest attire. Among them, a small green dinosaur is particularly strange. It does not interact with the other characters, but simply watches the convoy drive by quietly.

When the motorcade appeared outside the press conference venue, reporters swarmed around the vehicles as they entered.

At this moment, Qing Chen received a text message from Yang Yang: "A Mysterious Affairs Department convoy has been spotted heading to Hokkaido and lying in ambush near Xiao Zhenji's mother's house. I think their target might be Xiao Zhenji; she's too important to Kamishiro. I'm also watching nearby. If they plan to kidnap Xiao Zhenji's mother, I'll intervene. One of the people lying in ambush is wearing a white hunting robe, which seems to be Kamishiro Yunluo from the intelligence."

Qing Chen frowned. He never expected that after he killed someone in the street, the Mysterious Affairs Department would send more people to Hokkaido.

Did that Kamishiro Yunluo see through my plan? But if that's the case, why didn't he just kidnap Xiao Zhenji's mother and use her life to threaten Xiao Zhenji into appearing?

The fact that the other party is currently lying in ambush nearby does not align with the Mysterious Affairs Department's disregard for human life.

That's strange, what went wrong?

What does the other party want to do?

After a moment of contemplation, Qing Chen knew he could no longer stand by and watch. Whatever the other party planned to do, he had to make his move.

After the motorcade entered the Osaka City Hall, security personnel began checking press passes one by one, allowing all media reporters to pass through the security gate.

Qing Chen turned and walked in, calmly opening his arms to allow the security personnel to check him.

It has to be said that Forbidden Item are truly magical tools for home and travel, assassination and arson. Even if you are carrying a full load of weapons, it is very difficult for others to detect them.

The security guard pulled two Rubik's Cubes from his pocket. "Why are you carrying two Rubik's Cubes?"

Qing Chen smiled and said, "I'm a Rubik's Cube enthusiast."

As he spoke, he quickly scrambled the Rubik's Cube and solved it in just over three seconds.

The security guard placed it suspiciously on the conveyor belt. "Check if there's anything wrong with the Rubik's Cube."

The two Rubik's Cubes went through security again, and the security guard watching the computer screen shook his head. "No problem."

The security guard in front of Qing Chen said coldly, "These two Rubik's Cubes are being stored here. You can pick them up after the press conference."

"Fine," Qing Chen said, not caring at all. It was just an ordinary Rubik's Cube that he bought from a roadside shop to play with.

As I walked in, someone suddenly called out from behind, "Tojo Kazuo!"

Qing Chen stopped, revealing his current disguise.

As I turned around, a middle-aged woman walked over with a cameraman.

The woman, dressed in a beige suit, exuded exceptional elegance; though fifty years old, she still possessed a captivating charm.

She smiled and looked Qing Chen up and down, "Weren't you transferred to a local station by the president? How come you still have the opportunity to report news of this level?"

I understand, they're here to kick someone when they're down.

Qing Chen calmly replied, "The others just happened to have something to do."

"It's such a pity that a top student from Dongda University ended up as a junior reporter at a local TV station," the middle-aged woman said with a friendly smile, but her words were anything but kind.

Qing Chen thought to himself, "What kind of situation is this? I specifically sought out a local TV station and a junior reporter who had published left-wing opinions, and yet I still ran into an acquaintance."

Qing Chen asked, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll go into the venue."

The woman was actually following Qing Chen, and she sat next to him after entering the venue.

The next second, using the table as cover, the woman actually placed her hand on Qing Chen's thigh. "Even after going to a local TV station, you still haven't learned your lesson. This year, the company has one internal transfer opening, if you..."

Qing Chen raised an eyebrow and swatted the woman's hand away. "Show some respect. I'm here to report the news."

The woman laughed and said, "Who watches local TV reports these days? You're just here to make an appearance..."

On the table were manuscript paper and pencils prepared for the reporters. Qing Chen expressionlessly tore the manuscript paper into tiny, very small pieces.

At this moment, all the members of the Mysterious Affairs Department entered the venue dressed in black suits. Outside the venue, there were hundreds of soldiers wearing special operations uniforms, bulletproof helmets, and bulletproof vests, maintaining a state of emergency.

Escorted by these people, the spokesperson for the Mysterious Affairs Department stepped onto the podium.

Amidst the flashing lights, the spokesperson calmly organized his prepared remarks.

Qing Chen looked around and found it strange. Originally, it was supposed to be Kamishiro Yunxiu who clarified things, but someone else was sent instead.

But the spokesperson calmly stated, "Recently, the Mysterious Affairs Department has been subjected to malicious attacks online by individuals with ulterior motives, and..."

The middle-aged woman ignored the official jargon and instead focused her attention on Qing Chen, moving her hand back to him.

"Ah!" A scream came from below the stage, interrupting the spokesperson's clarification.

Everyone looked toward the source of the sound and saw a young man gripping a woman's wrist. The woman, in pain, slid off her chair and knelt on the floor.

Qing Chen smiled and explained, "I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself."

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, Qing Chen suddenly let go of the woman's hand and strode towards the stage.

He flipped his hand, and a pencil flew out and landed squarely on the speaker's forehead.

The woman who had fallen opened her eyes wide in horror.

Security personnel, like ants, poured into the venue through its eight main entrances. However, what they saw was the murderer who had just committed the crime, who had opened his palm to reveal countless pieces of paper.

The killer blew hard, and a cloud of white vapor rolled like a tide!

Shredded paper, like snowflakes, surged toward a Mysterious Affairs Department members rushing towards them.

The moment they made contact, the sharp paper scraps, like a storm of metal, pierced the bodies of every member of the Mysterious Affairs Department, spraying out bursts of blood mist.

Some pieces of paper were pinned to the wall. A reporter zoomed in with his camera and saw the "Osaka City Hall" logo on the paper.

This wasn't some meticulously prepared murder weapon; it was just a piece of paper that they all had in their hands!

No one expected that the manuscript paper, which was routinely prepared for reporters, could be used as such a dangerous weapon!

The security check process is practically a formality!

Outside the Osaka City Hall, a small green dinosaur was waddling along, looking quite comical.

The little dinosaur's two short arms are holding a Black Box, the contents of which are unknown.

Security personnel blocked their path. "Who goes there?"

But the little dinosaur suddenly accelerated, leaping two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) in one step and flying over the heads of the security personnel.

Without him exerting any force, the Black Box in his arms flew straight over a hundred meters, smashed a window of the office, and flew into the room.

With a deafening roar, countless windows were shattered by the explosion, and a huge cloud of smoke billowed up inside the building.

The little dinosaur shouted in broken Japanese, "National hero Zard is here!"

The security personnel were all stunned. They watched the little green dinosaur stagger and run away, shouting, "Catch him! Catch him now!"

There will be another chapter at 11 PM.
