Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

"Really? That's great!"

Akemi Miyano exclaimed excitedly.

Qian Jialu thought for a moment and said, "However, I can't cast this spell directly. I need two days to prepare. Can your sister wait that long?"

As Miyano Akemi previously stated, the Black Organization used her sister to threaten her into robbing 1 billion yen. Now that Miyano Akemi hasn't handed over the money, if those people become enraged and kill Miyano Akemi's sister, then things will be very bad.

Miyano Akemi thought for a moment and said, "It should be fine. My sister is a core member of the organization, and the organization won't do anything to her easily."

"Wait, aren't you a low-level member of the organization? How come your sister is a core member?"

Li Xin asked curiously.

Akemi Miyano said shyly, "My parents were both scientists in the organization. After they passed away, my sister and I were adopted by the organization. I'm not very bright, but my sister inherited our parents' genius. She showed amazing learning ability at a very young age. The organization sent her abroad for elite education. When she came back, she was one of the top scientists in the organization and was given a code name, becoming a core member of the organization."

At this point, Akemi Miyano sighed, "Actually, my sister didn't want to work for the organization, but it's all because of me that she had no choice but to do so..."

Li Xin and Qian Jialuo suddenly realized.

Oh, I thought the Black Organization was using Miyano Akemi's sister to threaten her into doing things, but now it seems that the Black Organization is using Miyano Akemi to threaten her sister into working for the organization.

Li Xin frowned and said, "Qian Jialuo, please prepare quickly. I'm afraid the other side won't give us much time."

Akemi Miyano asked in surprise, "Why?"

Li Xin explained to Miyano Akemi, "I don't know if anything has changed in that organization, but there's definitely something wrong with this 1 billion yen robbery. First of all, your superior promised to let you and your sister go if you handed over 1 billion yen, which is 100% false."

Miyano Akemi didn't react much to Li Xin's words, because she didn't have any expectations of Gin's character anyway. It was just that this was her only chance to leave the organization, so she had to try it no matter what.

“I suspect that once you hand over one billion yen, your superiors in the organization will kill you.”

Li Xin said to Miyano Akemi.

What kind of person can a person lie to without any psychological pressure? Of course, it's a dead person. Only when Miyano Akemi is regarded as a dead person will her superiors recklessly tell lies that are simply impossible.

Further speculation suggests that since Akemi Miyano was a limiter used to restrict her sister, why would Akemi Miyano's boss want to kill her? The only explanation is that Akemi Miyano's sister's position was already in jeopardy.

Li Xin told Miyano Akemi his guess, and Miyano Akemi immediately became nervous.

"No, no, Shiho is the organization's chief scientist, the organization won't give up on her so easily... no..."

Miyano Akemi kept saying this, but it was less for Li Xin's ears and more for her own.

Originally, a "hostage" like her should have been kept obediently by the organization. Now, Gin has released her to carry out a mission and said he would set her and her sister free. This matter is inherently questionable. However, Miyano Akemi is so eager to say goodbye to this kind of life that she is willing to take a gamble even though she knows something is wrong. After all, the worst that can happen is that she dies.

But now, after hearing Li Xin's analysis, not only her, but also her sister might be in danger, which Miyano Akemi could not accept.

Seeing Miyano Akemi's panic, Li Xin felt a little sorry for her and comforted her, "Don't worry, nothing should happen in the short term. Hurry up and get it done. I'll wait a day at most!"

The last sentence was said to Chika.

Chika moved her mouth as if to protest, but seeing that Miyano Akemi was so anxious that tears were about to fall, she softened and changed her mind, saying, "I understand, I'll do it as soon as possible."

With Li Xin's reassurance and Qian Jialuo's reduced preparation time for the spell, Miyano Akemi felt somewhat relieved and bowed to the two of them, saying, "Thank you, thank you!"

A day passed in the blink of an eye. On the rooftop of Li Xin's stronghold, Miyano Akemi cut her finger and squeezed out a drop of blood. The blood fell but did not land on the ground; instead, it floated up and hung in Chika's palm.

Chika said to Miyano Akemi, "Let me ask you something first, how many relatives do you have... that is, how many collateral relatives are within three generations of your parents?"

This method of finding people through blood ties involves many connections. If a person has too many relatives, it will be much more difficult to perform this method. Therefore, before casting the spell, Chika specifically asked this question: if Miyano Akemi has many relatives, then she may need to make more preparations.

"No, I've never heard my parents mention their family. They must have passed away a long time ago, so my sister is my only relative."

Akemi Miyano shook her head.

"Okay, then I should be able to relax a bit more."

Qian Jialuo laughed.

At this moment, Li Xin suddenly asked, "Qian Jialuo, I have a friend who wants to find her father. Can you help? Money is not a problem."

Hearing that there was money to be made, Chika was naturally happy, but she still had to ask, "Where is your friend's father located?"

"I'm not sure, but it should be overseas."

Li Xin replied.

Qian Jialuo's face immediately turned cold: "If you want to kill me and take all the rewards, just say so. There's no need to beat around the bush like this."

With Chika's spiritual power, the maximum range she can search for someone is the 23 wards of Tokyo. Beyond that range, she can't do anything. If the person she's looking for isn't in Japan, she's powerless. And if that person is thousands of miles away, Chika might have her spiritual power drained instantly, or even suffer a backlash.

Upon hearing Qian Jialuo's answer, Li Xin knew that Qian Jialuo's search magic could not reach overseas, and he could only regretfully give up.

His question was naturally for Lai Sheng Rui. Lai Sheng Rui worked for "Cat's Eye" in order to find her father. If Li Xin could help her find her father, then she wouldn't need to do such dangerous things anymore. Unfortunately, Qian Jialuo's search skills couldn't find people who were too far away.

Qian Jialuo had made all the preparations. The array beneath her feet lit up, she brandished her magic weapon, and began chanting a spell. As she uttered the last word "go," a faint red thread extended from the blood in her palm and drifted in one direction.

Li Xin knew that Qian Jialuo's magic had taken effect. As long as he followed this thin red thread, he could find Miyano Akemi's sister, Miyano Shiho.

Just as Li Xin was about to set off, another thin line emerged from the drop of blood in Qian Jialuo's palm—one, two, three, four…

Suddenly, Qian Jialuo spat out a mouthful of blood, all the fine threads disappeared, and Qian Jialuo's aura weakened.

"Are you kidding me! Didn't you say you had no family besides your sister? How come there are still so many 'bloodlines' branching out! There are several in Tokyo alone, and several more are heading overseas. Are you trying to kill me?! More money! You have to pay more!"

Qian Jialuo, who was kneeling on the ground, said angrily.

"what……"

Akemi Miyano was stunned. Although it was a happy thing to learn that she still had many relatives alive, it would be awkward if she couldn't find her sister at this critical moment.

Chapter 136 The Goods Don't Match the Description

Qian Jialuo suddenly vomited blood because she deliberately stopped the spell. She had a premonition that if she continued, all her spiritual power would be drained.

A martial artist's internal energy is connected to their body; if they lose all their internal energy, their body will become much weaker than that of an ordinary person.

The spiritual power of a sorcerer is connected to their soul. If their spiritual power is drained in an instant, Qian Jialuo's soul will fall into a deep sleep, which manifests as becoming a vegetable and sleeping for a long time.

Although terminating the spell would cause her to suffer some backlash, Chikaro chose to endure the backlash and terminate the spell rather than have her spiritual power drained.

Chikara appeared very weak, and Miyano Akemi asked worriedly, "Miss Chikara, are you alright?"

Qian Jialu shook her head and said, "He's not going to die yet."

She made the decision in time, which preserved most of her spiritual power. She only needs to rest for a few days to recover.

"In that case, let's continue."

Li Xin said to Qian Jialuo, "Since Shiho Miyano's situation is currently unknown, it would be better to find her as soon as possible."

Are you even human?

Qian Jialu glared at Li Xin. How could this guy be more capitalist than a capitalist himself?! Didn't he see that the person was spitting blood? He was still telling him to continue!

Li Xin sighed helplessly, grasped Qian Jialuo's hand, and channeled "Mingyu True Qi" into her body to heal her injuries.

The moment "Mingyu True Qi" entered, Li Xin's expression suddenly changed drastically: "You..."

Taking advantage of Li Xin's distraction, Qian Jialuo pulled her hand back: "Don't bother, my body isn't that fragile."

As she spoke, Chikaro released a paper crane from her sleeve and said to Li Xin, "Follow it, it will take you to the person who is closest to Miss Miyano by blood."

Although she had just ended the spell, she still remembered the location of the person most closely related to Miyano Akemi by blood. She recorded this location on a paper crane, which could then take Li Xin to that place.

After a pause, Chika asked Miyano Shiho, "You can't possibly have another sister, or your parents are actually still alive, can you?"

"No, no, I can confirm those things!"

Akemi Miyano quickly shook her head and then helped Chikara up, saying, "Ms. Chikara, you've really gone through a lot."

"If you know I'm working hard, then give me more money!"

Qian Jialuo wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said.

Akemi Miyano hesitated for a moment, then whispered in Chika's ear, "Besides the 30 million yen, I have several million yen in savings. I originally planned to keep it for my sister and me to live on, but I'll give it all to you now."

Akemi Miyano was soft-hearted to begin with, and seeing Chikara become like this because of her, she couldn't help but give away even her last savings.

Chika's heart stirred slightly. She sighed and shook her head at Miyano Akemi, saying, "Who cares about your money? I want that bastard's money!"

Li Xin, whose hearing was usually very sharp, seemed to have become deaf at this moment. He didn't hear either Miyano Akemi's whispers or Chikara's complaints. He said to the two of them, "I'm leaving. I'll be back soon."

Qian Jialuo gave Li Xin the middle finger: "Get lost!"

....................................

In a Tokyo-based biopharmaceutical company, Gin, dressed in a black trench coat, walked into the laboratory and said to Shiho Miyano, who was working there, "Sherry, I have some bad news for you."

At that moment, Shiho Miyano was observing the cell tissue of mice under a microscope. Upon hearing Gin's words, she calmly put down her work, looked up, pulled down her mask, and revealed a beautiful face with obvious mixed-race features.

Unlike the gentle and elegant Akemi Miyano, Shimi Miyano has short, chin-length brown hair, wears a lab coat, and has a slightly cold demeanor, making her look like a rather aloof woman.

"Gin, you're disturbing my experiment."

Shiho Miyano said to Gin, then suddenly realized something and burst out laughing, which was completely out of character for her aloof demeanor.

Gin had just been enjoying the sea breeze all night and was already in a bad mood, so he couldn't tolerate Shiho Miyano laughing like that. He snapped, "Sherry, what are you laughing at!"

Shiho Miyano touched the area between her philtrum, and Gin instinctively reached up and touched something sticky.

It's snot.

Gin immediately recognized what it was. After being exposed to the sea breeze all night, he returned to the organization's base to rest for a while. When he woke up, he found himself dizzy and lightheaded, with a runny nose. He knew he had caught a cold, but because he had important things to do, he didn't dare to ask for leave (the Black Organization didn't have the concept of asking for leave). He took a few cold medicines and rushed to see Shiho Miyano, only to be ridiculed by others.

"Vodka, paper!"

Gin reached out to Vodka behind him. Vodka, who was wiping his nose with a tissue, hesitated for a moment, then shakily placed the tissue in Gin's hand: "Big brother, this is the last one. Don't worry, I only used a little bit, the rest is still usable."

Gin was silent for half a second, then quickly crumpled the paper that had been wiped with vodka into a ball and threw it hard at his face.

"Don't you know to get a new one when you've used it all up?!"

Gin said angrily.

Having spent the entire night standing in the sea breeze like a fool had already brought him to a breaking point. Akai Shuichi hadn't arrived, Miyano Akemi had disappeared, and he had caught a cold. Now, he was being asked to wipe his nose with used tissues, and he broke down on the spot.

It was truly unusual for the usually cold-blooded Gin to be so enraged, and Shiho Miyano, who had always been at odds with Gin, couldn't help but smile.

Although she didn't know what the bad news Gin was talking about was, she usually treated Gin's bad news as good news, and now she was somewhat looking forward to it.

Although Vodka wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, he was still quick on his feet. He soon brought Gin a pack of tissues. After wiping his nose, Gin reverted to his usual ruthless killer demeanor and said to Shiho Miyano, "Sherry, your sister Akemi Miyano has defected."

Seeing Shiho Miyano's expression freeze, Gin felt a sense of revenge. He continued, "Your sister didn't hand over the ten billion yen to me last night as promised. I think she must have run away with that ten billion yen, abandoning you, her only sister! Hmm, let me think, where would she run to? Hmm, she must have gone to find that traitor, Shuichi Akai. Heh, traitors and traitors, what a perfect match!"

My sister ran away?

"It's defection!"

Gin corrects the way.

Shiho Miyano revealed a smile that melted away her icy demeanor: "Great, she finally escaped!"

Of the two sisters, Shiho Miyano is a core member of the organization and has been valued by the organization since childhood. Her freedom has always been restricted by the organization, and she is constantly under surveillance.

Because Miyano Akemi had not shown much use, the organization only symbolically assigned her the status of a junior member and did not let her do anything; they just kept her around. This actually gave her a considerable degree of freedom.

Of course, this freedom was actually fought for by Shiho Miyano, but in general, Akemi Miyano had the opportunity to escape the organization, but because she was worried about her only sister, she continued to live in the shadow of the organization.

Shiho Miyano had hinted to her older sister more than once that she should leave the organization and live her own life, and not be trapped in the organization because of her, but Akemi Miyano just wouldn't listen. She would not run away alone unless both sisters were freed.

Now that her older sister has come to her senses and escaped the organization on her own, this is not bad news for Shiho Miyano, but rather great news. She is finally no longer a burden to her sister!

Gin scrutinized Shiho Miyano closely and, seeing that her smile was completely genuine, felt utterly bored.

He had originally thought that the news of Miyano Akemi's escape would make Miyano Shiho feel betrayed and thus hate her sister, since he had seen too many sisters and brothers turn against each other because of similar things.

"Speaking of which, now that my sister is gone, what am I still doing here?"

Suddenly, Shiho Miyano pushed the extremely valuable electron microscope to the ground, knocked over the medical alcohol on the lab table, and lit it with a lighter.

boom!

A fire broke out, the laboratory's fire alarm blared, and the sprinklers began spraying water. Ignoring the intense heat behind her, Shiho Miyano calmly took a disk from the pocket of her white coat, broke it in half, and threw it into the fire behind her.

This is the latest finding of the organization's research; without this disk, the organization's research would regress to several years ago.

"What are you doing, Sherry!"

Gin pulled out his beloved Beretta M92F pistol and pointed it at Shiho Miyano. This pistol had killed countless traitors of the organization, and now he pointed it at Shiho Miyano, already harboring murderous intent.

"It's nothing, I'm just quitting."

Shiho Miyano smiled, her hands in her pockets, as the ever-growing flames behind her and the rain falling from above created a strange scene.

This time, Vodka was quick-witted. Without Gin even needing to say anything, he picked up the fire extinguisher in the lab and sprayed it at the source of the fire.
