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

"Get down here."

His tone was unequivocal.

next moment!

【EternalMaximumDrive!】

(Eternal Maximum Drive!)

【Eternal Requiem!】

(Eternal Requiem!)

"Ahhh!!!"

High in the sky, Tomoma, who had transformed into a bird hybrid, suddenly deactivated his transformation and fell rapidly to the ground along with Jiangcaoqian.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw a blue lightning bolt streak across the sky, and Tong Ma and Jiang Caoqian's figures disappeared from the air. When they reappeared...

They were carried back to where Shotaro and the others were.

"Sudo Kirihiko!"

Shotaro recognized that the one who had captured Touma and Akane was Sudo Kirihiko. A slow, unhurried footstep sounded, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

The person they discovered was a young man with an extremely handsome face; without a doubt, it was Lu Chen.

Before everyone could get to know these two newcomers, one of them suddenly clutched his arm in pain. The spot where the Asuka's memory was inserted was starting to rot.

"One! One!"

"Hey, are you alright?"

Everyone rushed over, but some were at a loss as to what to do when they saw him writhing on the ground in pain.

As if it were a chain reaction, Touma, who had been released by Sudo Kirihiko and thrown to the ground, also began to scream in pain, and Shotaro sighed.

Looking at Lu Chen and Sudo Kirihiko, he frowned and said:

"Is this a side effect caused by not using Gaia Memory properly?"

“That’s right.” Lu Chen smiled slightly.

"This is because they take turns using the memory, which shouldn't have worked."

"However... this memory is somewhat special."

"It's all your fault!!!"

"Shotaro said angrily."

"As I mentioned before, Kirihiko and I are investigating the matter of secretly selling memory chips to minors." Before Lu Chen could finish speaking, Zuo Xiangtaro scoffed, "Do you think I'd believe that?" Lu Chen shook his head and chuckled.

"Detective, do you believe it...?"

"Do I care?"

Zuo Xiangtaro wanted to refute, but after opening his mouth for a long time, he couldn't come up with a rebuttal. That guy Lu Chen...

There's really no need to care about his opinion.

Sudo Kirihiko walked over to Lu Chen and handed him something; it was...

Asuka Memory!

As Lu Chen took it, a series of system notifications sounded in his mind.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on your first meeting with Jiang Caoqian! You have received two gifts!!!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Jiang Caoqian character greeting gift - Asuka Gaia Memory!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received Jiang Caoqian's extra gift - T2 Asuka Gaia Memory!"

With a thought, the two Bird Gaia Memory Memorys in his hand and those stored in the system space were instantly upgraded to T2 Bird Gaia Memory Memory.

"Consider them a gift since you won against me, no need to thank me too much~"

Lu Chen pointed at Tong Ma and Jiang Caoqian and said with a light laugh, then turned around and left.

Sudo Kirihiko gave Shotaro a friendly smile and then followed closely behind, leaving together.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Shotaro Hidari reverted to his original form and curled his lip in disdain, saying:

"Who's going to thank you?!"

That's what they say on the surface.

But secretly, he thought: Lu Chen is actually quite nice when he's not being bad...

On the way, Sudo Kirihiko looked at Lu Chen and asked hesitantly, "Manager, regarding the matter of someone selling memory chips to minors..."

Should we continue the investigation?

"no need."

陆尘毫不犹豫备群1⑦⑨60③⑦⑨②的回应备群1⑦⑨60③⑦⑨②道。119

Upon hearing this, Sudo Kirihiko remained silent for a moment before nodding and saying, "Yes, I understand."

Lu Chen glanced at him, shook his head, and said:

"No, I think you may not understand. The reason I said no is because I already know who the culprit is."

"Therefore, there is no need to continue the investigation."

"Instead of... abandoning the investigation."

Upon hearing this, Sudo Kirihiko's eyes lit up.

With barely concealed excitement, he asked, "So, Manager, you mean you already know who the culprit is and you're going to take action?"

Sure enough, even being a die-hard loyalist doesn't mean that person becomes a puppet.

Let him die, let him give up the investigation. Sudo Kirihiko will obey out of loyalty, but he will never be happy about it.

Lu Chen nodded and smiled slightly:

“Yes, so let’s go back to the Sonozaki’s house.” Sudo Kirihiko was about to agree when he suddenly realized something was wrong. The Sonozaki’s house?

"Manager, do you mean...?"

Lu Chen didn't say anything more, but Sudo Kirihiko already understood that the culprit who sold the Gaia Memory to minors was the Sonozaki family, and apart from Sonozaki Wakana, who was not involved in matters related to the memory, there were only two people left.

After what happened last time, Sonozaki Saeko...

Although she outwardly wields more power than Lu Chen at the museum, Sudo Kirihiko understands that Lu Chen is the one in charge, so she won't interfere.

So!

The answer is already obvious.

......

After Lu Chen and his companion left, Zuo Xiangtaro also returned to the agency with Jiang Caoqian and the others.

Both Tongma and Youyi fell into a coma.

And Jiang Caoqian...

"Xiaoqian, why don't you want to go home? Let's talk?" Zuo Xiangtaro asked wearily as he sat on the sofa.

Jiang Caoqian pursed her lips.

Hesitation was on his face.

Suddenly, Philip walked in with a book in his hand, saying, "Post-it notes, travel agency, police station, dental clinic."

Why are you suddenly bringing this up?

Akiko looked over.

I just felt completely baffled.

“These are all places where Fujikawa Tomoma, in his bird-man form, attacked. These places that seem unrelated at first glance actually have one thing in common,” Philip said casually as he flipped through the book.

"Common ground?"

Shotaro and Akiko exchanged a glance.

Their eyes were full of curiosity.

Philip suddenly looked at Jiang Caoqian.

He said coldly:

"The places that were attacked were all workplaces of the parents of Jiang Caoqian's track and field opponents."

"What? That means..."

Akiko also looked at Jiangcaoqian.

His eyes were full of disbelief.

She still thought Jiang Caoqian was a victim.

result......

She was actually the main cause?
