Masked W: I'm like peanuts or vegetables, and Saeko is outside the door.

"I've only just arrived in this city, and I'm already twenty years old," the girl said expressionlessly.

"No way!"

Upon hearing this, Shotaro stepped back in shock.

He couldn't believe that the baby-faced girl in front of him was already twenty years old...

Shotaro picked up the contract and looked at it. He was shocked when he saw the signature at the end:

"Narumi Akiko..."

"You're the old man's daughter?!"

Akiko nodded: "Mm!"

"By the way, where's my dad?"

When Shotaro saw his old friend's son appear before him, he was filled with emotion: "Uncle... he won't be coming back for now!"

"Why? What happened?"

Akiko frowned and asked.

She hadn't heard from her father in a long time; perhaps the man in front of her knew.

“Uncle…he did it for me…” Shotaro’s mind flashed back to the image of the uncle dying to save him, and for a moment he didn’t know how to explain it to the uncle’s daughter in front of him.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Shotaro gasped for breath, as if he had found a lifeline, and quickly ended the conversation to open the door. When he opened the door, he saw a woman wearing a blue dress and with her hair in a low ponytail.

She looks very beautiful and gentle.

"Sho...it's been a long time." The woman greeted Shotaro with a smile.

1 “Marina? You’re Marina!” Shotaro looked at the familiar face in front of him, searched his memory for a long time, and finally remembered.

0Marina Tsumura!

His childhood sweetheart!!!

Marina nodded gently, and Shotaro quickly invited her into the office to sit down.

6 She took out a photo and placed it on the table, explaining her purpose: "Togawa Yosuke, my boyfriend, has been missing for a week."

7. "Xiao Xiang, please help me find him."

1. Well, although she's Shotaro's childhood friend, and although she's very pretty, but...

0 does not belong to Shotaro Hidari.

5 However, Shotaro Satoshi was not saddened by this; he was simply overwhelmed with a sense of justice.

5. He said with great confidence:

"Don't worry, this city is my garden. Just wait for my good news."

Marina nodded with tears in her eyes.

"Please!"

Chapter Seven: Princess Carrying Wakana! Magma Dopant! My Heart is Fluttering!

Upon receiving the request, especially one related to his childhood friend Marina, Shotaro immediately went out, searching for her with a photo of Yosuke Togawa in his hand, with Akiko following behind him.

...

A tunnel collapsed.

Police officers quickly arrived at the scene and brought the situation under control.

Shotaro saw the panicked crowd surging out, and he squeezed in against the flow of people, only to find that what had collapsed the tunnel was actually a building.

This is simply amazing!

Akiko was stunned by what she saw:

"What's wrong?"

“Winskell, I think Togawa used to work at this company.” Shotaro frowned as he pieced together the company name from the ruins on the ground.

The company building collapsed...

Is there any connection between him and Yosuke Togawa?

Just then, a young police officer walked over, grabbed Shotaro by the collar, and said unhappily:

"Hey! You stinky detective, what are you doing sneaking in here again?"

“It’s Mr. Makura!” Shotaro turned around and saw who it was. He gently brushed the man’s hand away from his collar. He was about to ask something but then changed his mind: “Never mind, I don’t need to bother a low-level police officer like you.”

"What did you say?"

Masakura was immediately furious.

"Are you done yet?"

"What! You dare to disrespect the police?"

Masakura couldn't help but raise her voice.

"Why are you arguing again? Do you have a grudge against each other?" The middle-aged police officer spoke up to stop the two, then turned to Shotaro and said, "Shotaro, come with me for a moment."

"Mr. Rin, I'm sorry." Shotaro glared at Masakura, straightened his clothes, and followed Rinno Mikio over.

Compared to real warehouse.

This Mikio Renno is more reliable.

"It's nothing. It's not the first time you and Masakura have argued. But you really haven't changed at all. Your nose is still incredibly sensitive."

"You came right after this happened."

Mikio Rinno walked to the ruins and said:

"Look, the steel bars below have melted. It must have been caused by a very high temperature, otherwise it wouldn't be like this."

Upon hearing this, Shotaro picked up his camera.

They are filming the scene.

Then he slowly uttered a few words:

Is it a dopant?

"Dopant?" Akiko, who had followed along, frowned upon hearing this unfamiliar term.

I find this puzzling.

Mikio Renno nodded:

"Maybe."

“If we start counting from last week, this is the third similar incident, but this one is the most serious. If you find anything, contact me.” After saying that, Mikio Renno mysteriously took out an envelope from his pocket.

Shotaro took it.

They then walked out of the tunnel and found a well-lit place nearby to open the door.

The envelope contained a bunch of photos. Shotaro picked them up and examined them carefully. It seemed that the photos contained clues related to the three cases.

"Why are all these branches of the company where Togawa used to work? Seriously, we could have just found the right people, but now we have to deal with the adulterants too."

Shotaro said with a hint of helplessness.

Judging from the current situation.

The disappearance of Yosuke Togawa, the incident at the company he worked for, and the adulterants are all related.

"What is a dopant?" Akiko, standing behind him, heard the name again.

Shotaro turned to look at her, then continued talking to himself, "It seems our appearance this time is inevitable."

Seeing that the other party ignored her, Akiko took out a green slipper from her schoolbag and hit Shotaro hard in the chest, pretending to be fierce as she said:

"Stop pretending and explain clearly what a dopant actually is."

Just then, Shotaro's phone rang, and he quickly answered, "Philip, did you see what I sent you?"

A pleasant male voice came from the other end of the phone:

"It is interesting."

"What abilities does the culprit possess? Help me find out which Gaia Memory it is." Shotaro rattled off a string of demands, and as he finished speaking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a red light flashing in the garage next door.

He stared at the garage and said in a deep voice:

"Never mind... I don't need 893."

"Why aren't we using it anymore?" asked the boy named Philip on the other side, somewhat puzzled.

"Because the culprit is already in front of me, the power of the Gaia Memory is lava!"

Shotaro said quickly, "A monster appeared right in front of me and Akiko."

Red, scalding lava flowed from his body.

The rest of his body is a humanoid monster made of black stone, and wherever his feet step, scalding lava is left behind.

"What...what is this?"
