Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 189.020. The Eve
"When will Akira Akahoshi set off?" Jin Ziyue asked.

"A private car for the afternoon of the day after tomorrow."

"In other words, the other side will also make their move before then, so we need to speed things up." Jin Ziyue said, walking into the alley and entering through a hidden back door to change clothes in the dressing room.

"what?"

"Applying for a job."

"What the hell?"

"The building opposite is where the advertisers for this subway line are located. They have dedicated workers responsible for the advertising on the electronic screens and the maintenance of the equipment."

"Are you trying to use this excuse to sneak in?"

Fu Xun became interested: "Come on, I want one too."

Jin Ziyue flatly refused him: "No, you have a more important task."

"what?"

"Did you bring the 'Pass Every Exam' brochure?" Jin Ziyue asked.

[May you pass every exam]

Holders of these cards are often fortunate enough to pass numerous tests, including exams that high school and college students dream of. However, a side effect is that they can only maintain a passing grade, making it a nightmare for many high school students and a boon for college students.

As the difficulty of the trials passed by the holder increases, the Destiny Word senses the joy of the host and grows accordingly.

"I have it with me." Fu Xun usually carries auspicious and harmless omens with him.

"I need to borrow this for you. Go back and retrieve a talisman from my boot."

"You want me to run errands again?" Fu Xun glared at him with displeasure.

"This time we need to change the destiny word. After a long battle, [Eagle Body Charcoal Gas] is almost at its critical point. If we continue to develop it, the destiny word's autonomous consciousness will also become stronger."

"Hmph. What message did you hide on your boots?"

"The inscriptions I've used for hunting over the past few years are all on it."

Fu Xun remained silent.

Jin Ziyue carried out the mission a few years ago when he and Fu Qin rented a house. At that time, he was already a well-known genius Fate Driver in the clan, and few of his peers could match him.

Its ability to perceive and recognize divine commands, its ability to capture, and its ability to raise animals are all recognized as excellent.

Now, instead of taking those handy command words with him, he left them to the simple-minded duo.

As a novice who had only recently entered the field, Lao Yan naturally had no idea what kind of treasure was hidden inside.

"Understood." Fu Xun waved his hand and walked towards the old street where Yan Wuxun's shop was located.

"By the way, why don't you acknowledge them as your relatives?" Fu Xun stopped and glanced at Jin Ziyue.

The man said expressionlessly, "Now is not the time."

“That resentful tone, tsk tsk.” Fu Xun chuckled. “I remember Qin used to ship you and Lao Yan as a couple.”

"As for Qin, she's even shipped you and me," Jin Ziyue said without changing his expression.

Fu Xun: "???"

After thinking for a moment, Jin Ziyue added, "But she likes you and Douzi the most."

"Damn it! That idiot doesn't even deserve it!" Fu Xun roared. "A guy my age who looks like a cute little boy, it makes me furious just thinking about him."

“There’s a reason for this.” After saying that, Jin Ziyue lowered his head and remained silent.

"I know," Fu Xun muttered. "Fools are lucky, you know. It's good enough that I'm not dead."

Fu Xun waved his hand and said before leaving, "In short, I won't let Lao Yan and the others take risks for things we can handle."

Jin Ziyue nodded.

……

Metropolitan Police Department, Special Operations Division, Independent Office.

"Section Chief, our lead went cold when we reached the female suspect," Tanaka said, sounding slightly apologetic.

"Wait a minute." Just as Fujiwara Chizuru was about to reply, her phone rang.

"Hey there, is my little Fujiwara there?"

On the other end of the phone came Ling's cheerful laughter.

"What is it?" Fujiwara Chizuru asked, her expression displeased.

"I heard you can't do anything and you're short-staffed. As your future boss, I'm quite worried about that."

"Miss Ling, you're overthinking it. We can handle it ourselves."

"Oh, don't be so heartless. I heard you've been sidelined, and now there are only two of you in the whole department, all isolated and helpless. If you joined us, you wouldn't have to put up with this kind of treatment. We're top-notch experts, easily dispatched."

"Let's get down to business, Miss Ling."

"Hmm...you workaholic with no sense of romance." Ling's voice was sullen on the other end of the phone. "I've learned that the radicals are also investigating the assassination. As a peace ambassador, I've secured a cooperation opportunity for you. Is Fujiwara interested in learning more?"

Tanaka listened, a thoughtful expression on his face. The other party was trying to win over the section chief to the White Walkers' side.

"Appreciate further details."

"The radical faction also claims that they were unaware of the attack on His Excellency Nobunaga of the small town. Therefore, they want to cooperate with us to catch the troublemaker. They hope that both sides can put aside their differences and share intelligence, since there is a troublemaker involved, and both sides are trying to maintain order."

"How about it? It's an invitation personally sent by Mr. Furukawa Takashi, one of the leading figures of the radical faction."

"Ling said."

"Furukawa Trade?" Fujiwara Chizuru vaguely remembered him.

"He's a spirited old ghost who has lived for over three hundred years and was active in the radical political arena for over a hundred years. Don't let his appearance fool you; he's actually a ruthless character with a large army at his disposal. He's just retired to the second line in recent years and is living a peaceful retirement in Zuojingdu."

Tanaka whispered, "Section Chief, that's an incredibly important figure. He's only one rank below Akira Akahoshi, the top military and political official in the capital."

"Yes, yes, I had to persuade that old man so much that I finally convinced him that Fujiwara had the ability to help them break the deadlock, but he was just held back by some villain." Ling spoke without any restraint.

“Miss Ling, please don’t try to sow discord between me and my colleagues,” Fujiwara said coldly.

"Still deceiving yourself and refusing to face reality, little Fujiwara~chan~" Ling said playfully.

"Alright, I'm not kidding you anymore. Tell me about the progress."

Fujiwara then straightened his expression and said, "Looking back at this case, it should be the fourth riot attack in the vicinity. It's just that the political figure recently killed happened to be a high-ranking official at a high-profile meeting, which is why it has received so much attention."

“During our on-site investigation, we discovered numerous traces indicating that the other party was quite numerous, highly efficient, and mobile. From the time they called for help after being attacked until reinforcements arrived within twenty minutes, the other party had already killed Councilor Xiao Cheng and moved his companion's body.”

"Who is calling for help?" Ling asked.

"The personal driver of the councilor, Xiao Cheng, also died in the attack."

Fujiwara said, after thinking for a moment, that she added:

"I've always had a question: the other side acted too quickly. They succeeded in the assassination and then destroyed the evidence at the scene. The more people involved, the harder it is to cover up the traces. Even with the cover of the heavy rain, it's impossible that they couldn't withstand it for even twenty minutes. What extraordinary means did they have to be able to take down a well-known general?"

“First of all, based on my understanding of General Xiao Cheng, the old ghost’s martial arts skills are quite astonishing. He has been cultivating his strength for hundreds of years. When he does move, the world loses its color. Even I have to put a lot of effort into dealing with this kind of ancestral old guy. How could his head be cut off in less than twenty minutes?” Ling explained.
