MTL - Congratulations on Your Arrest-Chapter 1 New Tokyo doesn't believe in love

  Chapter 1 New Tokyo Doesn’t Believe in Love (Seedling Seeking Care)

   Wano Country, New Tokyo.

   Now under the rule of the Tianren World Government, it is also called "Academy City".

  The tram speeds through the tunnel.

   There was a whistling wind in my ears.

In the slightly crowded compartment of the Hanzomon Line train, the bodies of the passengers holding on to the handrails swayed slightly. A teenager of high school age was staring at his mobile phone like other "head-down people" around him, occasionally Raising his head to look around, his gaze inadvertently swept across the window glass facing him.

In the dark tunnel, the bright lights inside the car make the reflection of the window glass particularly obvious, reflecting the appearance of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. The figure under the black hoodie looks a little thin and thin, and his pale face seems to be malnourished for a long time, but The face and facial features under the slightly long slanted bangs on the forehead are so outstanding and eye-catching, no matter where he is placed, he can be called a handsome guy in Tokyo.

   Higashinohara glanced at the reflection on the car window, and his eyes drifted to the side, passing over a pair of "couples" reflected on the car window glass.

  The man is probably in his forties. Judging by his attire, he is estimated to be at the level of a section manager or above in the company. Although he is bald early on his forehead, he has the temperament of a backbone elite in the workplace.

  The girl next to her is much younger, in her twenties, she looks innocent like a fledgling new to the workplace, and she looks like a small bird snuggling next to a middle-aged man in a crowded carriage.

   This age gap.

   Either sugar daddy or extramarital affairs.

Love?

  Sorry, New Tokyo doesn't believe in "tears".

  Mobile phone camera raised slightly,

  Aim at the window.

   focus

   Higashinohara taps the virtual button for shooting on the screen.

  The next second, without the usual flashes and clicks, the picture was frozen on his screen.

   I have to say that the high-definition mobile phone equipped by the detective agency is very clear even when taking pictures of the image reflected in the glass of the tram. There is no flash or sound that cannot be turned off.

   Higashinohara took several photos in a row, then lowered his head calmly, and continued to be his tram "head bower".

  But he sighed softly in his heart, with a helpless expression on his face.

  No way, it wasn’t Dongye’s original hobby of taking pictures in this area, in fact, everything was for life.

   Living in Tokyo is not easy.

  Even New Tokyo.

  In Higashinohara's mind, the phone call he received half an hour ago when he was working as a part-time discipline committee member in this area after high school came to the fore.

  During the phone call, the unscrupulous uncle who provided accommodation for him to study in New Tokyo broke Higashinohara's "reservedness" with just half a month's rent reduction, forcing him to accept this so-called "big order".

   And the detective agency that the unscrupulous uncle is currently running, which seems to be likely to close down at any time in Higashinohara, is currently able to receive the largest order, which is probably the investigation of extramarital affairs.

  That’s right, the middle-aged man who was secretly photographed on Higashinohara’s cell phone just now is the leading actor in this extramarital affair investigation—his wife suspected that he had an affair and entrusted Xinyuan Detective Agency to collect evidence in favor of court divorce.

   It is no coincidence that there is no book.

  A week ago, this man also commissioned Aragaki Detective Agency to investigate his wife. After getting the evidence, he looked at the different men who cheated on his wife in the photos. And various strange props that he had never seen before.

   Crying is called heart-piercing.

   Unexpectedly, a week later, the protagonist became himself.

   Higashinohara clicked again to shoot.

  The speeding tram stopped at one stop after another, the doors opened and closed, some people got on and some got off, and then roared into the seemingly endless dark tunnel.

Suddenly, the LCD screen on the wall of the tram that was playing advertisements turned, and a girl with messy hair appeared. Her clothes looked a bit shabby and messy, but the most eye-catching thing was her short silver-white hair and two sides of her head. The pair of milky white cat ears on the side, look a bit like the cat ears of Yingshou in the previous life.

  If it was Higashinohara who just came to this world half a year ago, he might still wonder if the two ears in front of him are fake ears, in order to cater to the strange xp system of some LSPs with cat ears.

   Now, he no longer has such doubts.

After spending half a year understanding the history of this world, Higashinohara guessed in his heart that this should be a cat-eared lady, no, a catwoman, a catwoman from the "celestial race", judging by her pupils and appearance, she might be a cat with impure blood Most of the daughter-ancestors are hybrid offspring born after the intermarriage between "Heaven-Man" and human beings implemented by the Heaven-Man World Government to maintain the rule and abolish the apartheid policy more than 500 years ago.

   "Wow! Eighty million yen worth of jewelry was stolen?"

   "Catwoman is a Lynx family, right?"

   "Oh, as I said earlier, those heavenly beings don't have many good things."

   "Hush! Keep your voice down! Be careful not to be heard by the eyes and ears of the Judgment Department of the Heavenly Man Government."

  “.”

  Listening to the whispers of the surrounding passengers in the tram, Higashinohara squinted slightly and glanced at the announcement issued by the New Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

  Theft?

  Wanted?

The narration on TV said that a jewelry and jade store in the 13th district of New Tokyo, commonly known as the "rich district" Setagaya district, was stolen. Consciously led the catwoman thief into the jewelry store on the fourth floor of his villa.

   After waking up, it was discovered that jewelry and jade worth at least 80 million yen had been lost.

  The Metropolitan Police Department's wanted list also reminds: the catwoman thief is likely to be a person with the ability to control the spiritual system. Enthusiastic citizens who hope to cooperate in the arrest must be careful.

  Ability user?

   Higashinohara was not surprised when he heard the words.

  The New Tokyo of this world is also known as the "Academy City" in Wano Country. It has four famous academies for capable people in the country, as well as research institutes about the fruits of abilities. The proportion of capable people in the city is also second to none in the country.

Ashamed to say, the high school student named Higashinohara in this world is one of the "ability users". The sad second-stage and first-stage low-level ability users have the ability called [Shadow Instant] speed-type ability , but at present, he can only create an extra phantom out of thin air with all his strength. It is said that when his ability is improved to the extreme, four super fast real shadow formations can appear in battle.

  Yes, for the instant prison shadow killing array!

   Well, although this sounds domineering in Secondary School.

  Actually, in the natural ability sequence of this world, [Yingshun] is a gray ordinary ability ranked 98th in the talent sequence number, and there is still a big gap from the top 72-36 green excellent ability in the world.

  Even in real battles, it may be possible to make up for some gaps in the ability sequence by working hard to improve the level of strength, but it is difficult to make up the gap with those blue high-risk abilities with the top 36-20 talent sequence numbers.

And compared to the world's top purple epic ability owners and big pirates who sit on one side of the mainland or are all-powerful in the four major seas, and whose talent serial numbers are among the top 20-10, they are even more Yunni. The huge gap between them is simply not something that can be bridged in the stage of hard work the day after tomorrow.

  As for the orange world-destroying ability in the top ten talent sequence, it has never appeared in the historical text for more than a thousand years.

   Higashinohara is currently in Phase 2 and Stage 1.

  Ability users have a total of nine levels and five levels. Those who reach the fourth level can be called superpowers, and those who reach the sixth level are the absolute ability users who can control the field.

However, the serial number of the ability determines the initial value and growth limit of the ability, that is, the highest level of ability that can be reached. For a person with a gray serial number like Higashinohara, wanting to increase the level is like climbing a steep mountain, one step at a time. I don't know how many ability users with lower talent serial numbers can only stay in the lower third level throughout their lives.

According to rumors, ability users with lower serial numbers want to counterattack, unless the ability they possess is a growth ability, they can achieve the extremely rare second awakening advancement through the extreme mining of their own abilities, breaking the shackles of the ability sequence Shackles—that is, the promotion from a low-level ability of the same line to a high-level ability of the same line.

  It is a pity that the example of the advancement of the ability serial number has been one of the few thousand years under the rule of the Heavenly Human Government. For most ordinary superpowers, it can basically be regarded as an impossible event of a "miracle".

  When Higashinohara came to this world half a year ago, he was in Stage 2 and Stage 1. Half a year later, he is still Stage 2 and Stage 1. If he fails to pass the academic test next year, he will not be able to repeat the grade for the third time. In all likelihood, he will be dismissed by the school.

   Really thinking about it makes people feel dizzy.

   Doesn't conform to the law of time traveler at all

  Hey, let’s settle half a month’s rent first.

  After the tram arrived at Jimbocho Station and got off, the middle-aged man sent the simple-looking female subordinate home without incident, and the two of them warmly invited downstairs. After a half-push and half-acceptance, they went upstairs together tacitly.

  Beside the vending machine downstairs, Higashinohara, who was looking up at this scene, was leaning there, holding a can of hot coffee in his hand and sipping, wondering in his heart when it would be more appropriate to go up to collect evidence according to the progress of middle-aged people.

   Unexpectedly, it didn't take a while.

   Under the turbid yellow light of the corridor, a figure swayed for a while.

Um? So it's coming out soon?

   Higashinohara had a strange expression on his face, but the next second he couldn't help opening his mouth slightly.

  The cold wind blows back and forth in late autumn.

  A middle-aged man with a bruised nose and a swollen face, wearing only a pair of pink boxers all over his body, with a distraught face gradually emerged in the dim corridor, holding a baggy empty wallet in his hand.

  On the stairs behind, you can still vaguely hear young people shouting, "Dare to insult my girlfriend", "I'll let you go this time for the sake of losing money, be careful!" and so on.

   Ah this?

   Good guy. What's the situation?

   Is it fairy dance?

I am so silly!

real!

  When Qiuji Tuoren walked down the corridor and stepped on the ground for the last time, his mind was in a trance, his body almost fell down, and he staggered towards the bus stop sign on the street.

  I thought I would regain my youthful heartbeat, but I never thought that I almost had a myocardial infarction.

  The scene upstairs just now came to mind.

  The originally weak and innocent girl suddenly seemed to be a different person when a yellow-haired young man broke into the door to catch the rape.

  In an instant, Akiyoshi Takuto's still warm heart completely lost its last warmth.

   What a crime! !

  Behind the bus stop sign.

   Higashinohara stared at Akiyoshi Takuto, who silently put on his clothes and buried his head between his knees, holding his head in his hands, with his thinning hair passing through the gap—one could imagine what kind of "pain mask" would be on that face.

  What happened tonight may become the last straw, and the middle-aged man has been completely crushed. Presumably he will not be able to go home and continue to hypocritically face his wife and maintain a marriage that is already full of cracks.

  Working hard, reaching middle age, one night I found myself with nowhere to go and no one to rely on

  It's not easy being a man in New Tokyo!

   Higashinohara had never been married in his previous life, and he was still a high school student in this life. He only felt that it was pitiful for middle-aged people to be played like this, but it was difficult to have any empathy in other aspects.

  Followed all night after all, Higashinohara was weighing his wallet, considering whether to invite this sad middle-aged man who was down on the street to drink a cup of hot drink from the vending machine.

  At this time, at a street corner not far away, a bus came across the corner with its yellow headlights on.

   Bang Dang—!

   A bottle of hot drink falls from a vending machine.

   Well, the cheapest kind.

   Higashinohara bent down to pick it up, and was about to turn around.

He suddenly found a petite figure jumping from the front door of the bus in front of the bus stop, wearing a black hoodie similar to him on the upper body, short skirt pantyhose and boots on the lower body, a very ordinary Wano country Street girl dress up.

  However, at this time,

   Higashinohara's pupils froze suddenly.

   If he read it correctly, in the night, he clearly saw short silver-white short hair and a pair of short cat ears on the girl's head.

  The next moment, the girl pulled up the big hood of the black hoodie.

  At this time, under the bus stop sign with turbid yellow street lights, there were only a middle-aged man sitting there holding his head and a petite girl who had just got off the bus—what Higashinohara just saw seemed to be just an illusion.

  What is the situation?

  He was a little suspicious, when he saw the petite girl under the stop sign suddenly approaching Akiyoshi Takuto.

   Is it a repertoire of Wano country's street characteristics?

  Higashi Yehara, who was holding coffee and hot drink in his hand, was stunned for two seconds, and then quietly took two steps back into the darkness behind him, preparing to wait and see what happened.

   In his mind, after tonight's stimulation, middle-aged men probably won't have much interest in women as creatures in the short term, right?

  Exit the bus stop sign.

  Akiji Tuoro sensed the approaching footsteps, and just raised his head with a slumped face, but his whole body was shocked suddenly, and he raised his head in a daze and could no longer look away.

   Ah this? !

  The people of Higashino were stupid.

  Women are really so fragrant?

  But the next second, he noticed something was wrong.

  Under the hood of the black hoodie, the girl couldn't see her face clearly, but she could vaguely see a strange red gleam flashing—the middle-aged man who was sitting slumped on a chair immediately stood up like a marionette.

   Immediately afterwards, the girl turned and walked towards the subway station.

The middle-aged man didn't say a word, and followed them step by step like a maniac, like acquaintances who knew each other—if it wasn't for Higashinohara who kept staring, it would be difficult for passers-by to spot the two of them exception.

   Staring at the backs of the two,

  Higashi Nohara frowned slightly.

  Suddenly, for no reason, he recalled in his mind the wanted man from the Metropolitan Police Department that he saw on the tram just now, and then recalled whether he was dazzled by the short silver-white hair and pointed ears just now.

   and the weird scene in front of me.

   Could it be that this is the Catwoman from the robbery?

  At this moment, the first thing that popped into Higashinohara's mind was the amount of the wanted reward seen on the tram.

  Information Provider:

   After verification and arrest, a reward of 400,000 yen will be awarded.

   You know, the monthly salary of office workers in New Tokyo is only more than 300,000 yen.

  The local rent ranges from 50,000 yen to 100,000 yen per month. The place where Higashino originally lives is cheaper, only 48,000 yen, plus living expenses, it is probably less than 150,000 yen per month.

   It is equivalent to saying that if he can assist the people of the Metropolitan Police Department to catch this catwoman, he can solve the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation for more than two months, and occasionally he can go to the meal to have a dental festival to improve the food.

   Now the middle-aged man in front of me is miserable enough tonight, so even if Higashinohara is not a heart-warming bounty (well, this is really heart-warming), he still has to act as an enthusiastic citizen.

  He immediately took out his mobile phone calmly and dialed the police number of the Metropolitan Police Department.

  After hearing his description, the Metropolitan Police Department immediately paid attention to it, and asked Higashino to keep his phone on to locate him. People from the local police station and the Metropolitan Police Department’s third investigation team will arrive at the scene soon.

  At the end, the other party also emphasized his tone to remind him not to act rashly. The mental ability of the other party is not yet clear, so as not to startle the enemy or cause unnecessary danger.

  In fact, if the other party didn't say this, Higashinohara would not go up to be a hero by himself.

  Being a hero requires corresponding strength.

  Even if he is a so-called [Shadow Instant] ability user, the ability level of the second stage and the first stage is really not enough.

As for Higashinohara’s part-time street discipline committee member, it’s just an extracurricular task assigned to the students by Takehara Minami Superpower High School, which counts as a grade point assessment at the end of the semester. Well, maybe there is also a school of capable people to show favor to the city government and ordinary people The intent is inside.

  If you have to compare them, they are similar to the security guards in the community. They all look tall and energetic, but they belong to the "image post". If you really want to fight crime like the police, forget it.

  The evening wind blew up the withered and yellow leaves. On the dark street, Higashinohara hung far behind the two people in front. He took a few tram stops, and then got out of the station and entered the long-distance bus station in Shibuya District.

   Along the way, the suspect girl didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Higashinohara even vaguely felt that the other party seemed a little nervous, in a state of mental tension.

   Well, you should be nervous about being caught if you commit a crime—this also strengthens Higashinohara’s deduction. The girl under the hoodie is most likely the Catwoman thief.

  Even after nine o’clock in the evening, the brightly lit Shibuya Intercity Station is still bustling with people. After all, this is New Tokyo, a bustling city called “Academy City” in Wano Country.

   Higashinohara stared at the door of the ticket office of the station, noticing that the petite girl under the black hoodie did not go in, and Akiyoshi Takuto in front of him turned around and entered the ticket hall alone.

Um?

   Do you want to help buy tickets?

   Are you going to leave Tokyo?

  Higashi Nohara had a thoughtful look on his face.

   After a while, the middle-aged man bought a ticket and walked out, handing the ticket and the change left over from the purchase to the girl in front of him with a distracted look.

  The girl under the black hoodie took the money and the ticket, lowered her head and carefully looked at the destination on the ticket, her body trembled slightly unconsciously, she seemed very happy, and immediately put the ticket carefully into her arms.

Then, she stuffed the remaining change from buying tickets into the middle-aged man's wallet, raised her hand halfway and paused, then took out a few large-denomination banknotes from the wallet on her body, and stuffed them into the middle-aged man's wallet together. In the wallet, he clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to the middle-aged man who was still in a daze.

   "Well, I'm pretty particular about what I do."

  Higashi Yehara made an evaluation in his heart. The middle-aged man was emptied of his wallet tonight by the female subordinate's Immortal Jump. I'm afraid he never dreamed that he would make up part of the loss from the wanted female thief.

  However, at this moment, without warning, a siren blared in my ear.

   Immediately afterwards, the red and blue flashing lights of the police car completely illuminated the darkness around the station.

  One police car after another quickly and orderly parked in the open space at the entrance of the long-distance station, and the whistling sound of the helicopter propellers could even be heard overhead. This arrest formation seemed unusually large.

  Higashi Yehara was a little puzzled. Even if the small amount of money involved in the theft case was relatively large, the Metropolitan Police Department might not pay so much attention to it.

   Is it because Catwoman has the blood of heaven and man?

  Heaven and Man established the world government more than a thousand years ago and became the ruler of more than 300 countries in the world. They have privileges that ordinary people can hardly imagine, and they can be called the real version of the "world aristocracy".

  Even if Catwoman is a mixed race and is not an orthodox celestial being, she may have to apply for arbitration from the World Government after her arrest. This explains why the New Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department attaches so much importance to it.

  As soon as the police car came to a complete stop, a large number of people in the uniform of the third investigation team jumped out of the car, like two black snakes in the dark, coiled around the long-distance station at an extremely fast speed.

   Passengers in the station were all surprised, and then looked around in a daze.

Did something happen?

  At the entrance of the ticket hall.

The girl under the hoodie was like a furry cat, her body tensed up suddenly, her eyes frantically glanced around, ignoring the middle-aged man beside her, she picked a direction and walked quickly with her head down Walked forward.

   After the girl left, it took a long time for Akiji Takuto's eyes to gradually recover. He was startled by the noise around him and looked around blankly.

  How am I at the coach station?

   His mind was a little dizzy and painful, his memory seemed to have a fault just now, and he only vaguely remembered that he seemed to see a girl with very unique pupils.

   Right girl!

Akiji Tuoren seemed to remember something, but he didn't seem to remember anything. When he was at a loss, he realized that he was still holding a wallet in his hand. When he lowered his head, he was surprised to find that there were a few large-denomination banknotes in the empty wallet. .

what's the situation? ? ?

   "Is the suspect at the station?"

   "That's right, it was a report from an enthusiastic citizen. He said he would follow him all the time. We located his cell phone and it is now at the station."

  After a brief conversation, the tall man in a navy blue windbreaker and silver-rimmed glasses pushed down the glasses on the bridge of his nose, put his right hand against the sword at his waist, and said in a low voice:

"Then surround this place completely. The first team cooperates with the Police Department to stand by outside and pay close attention to any suspicious people. The second team will take over the monitoring room of the station, and the third team will go in and search for people. Get up! Don't let it go!" In any corner, remember! The other party is likely to be an ability user of the spiritual department! Be careful"

"Yes!"

   With a clear and crisp answer, the people of the third investigation team merged into the crowd in front of the long-distance station like countless trickles pouring into a river.

   "Let me go, let me go, my husband has a heart attack, we are visiting Tokyo, where is the nearest hospital?"

   "Husband, husband, please say something."

  A certain emergency exit at the station that the third investigation team hadn't had time to take over, a family of three appeared in front of the station security personnel who were notified and were on standby.

  The middle-aged woman in a red woolen coat was struggling to support her pale husband on her shoulders, her face was full of anxiety, tears were about to come out, and a daughter pulling a suitcase was helping her.

   "Ah this?"

  The security personnel at several stations were stunned.

  They had just been notified to stand by at the exit, keeping an eye out for any suspicious single girls, and waiting for the people from the Metropolitan Police Department to take over. They did not expect such a thing to happen.

   "Squad leader, what should I do?"

   "Should they wait?"

   While discussing, the crying voice of the woman next to him sounded again, "Why are you stopping me? My husband is already in a coma. If something happens to you, which one of you will be responsible! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

  Maybe it was because he was anxious and accidentally missed the support. The middle-aged man who was being supported suddenly staggered and fell to the ground, and there was a flutter of chaos around him.

  Seeing the pale middle-aged man lying motionless on the ground, and the woman's sharp voice hitting the eardrums, several security personnel were stunned.

  Sickness comes like a mountain.

   Heart disease is no joke.

   "Squad leader. This."

"Let them go out. Anyway, the one above reminding us is a single girl, and there are three members of her family." Having said this, he was suddenly afraid of being held accountable by the above, so he hurriedly added orders, "Send someone to follow, follow along and help out." .”

  Hearing this, the woman quickly thanked, and a tall security guard quickly squatted down on his back, and the middle-aged man stood up, and the gate of the station exit popped open.

  Many stranded passengers behind watched this scene, but they could understand the special treatment under special circumstances, and no one said anything.

  Seeing that the family of three was about to leave the station, unexpectedly, an abrupt young voice suddenly sounded from behind.

   "Why! I also have something urgent to rush home, why can they go out first."

   After the voice fell, everyone's eyes suddenly came together.

  At the exit of the station, Xia Li was about to follow the couple controlled by her through the gate, when a sudden voice behind her made her body stiff, and her pointed ears almost popped out from under the hoodie!

   It's hard, it's hard!

   My ears are hard!

  Who is so hateful!

When Xia Li turned her head, she saw a teenager who looked like a high school student had come out of the crowd, standing in front of several security personnel, pointing at them and yelling dissatisfiedly. down the pace.

Da da da-!

  Suddenly, Xia Li's pointed ears under the hoodie moved slightly, and the sound of hurried footsteps not far away entered her eardrums, and her face suddenly became anxious.

Oops!

   You have to run away from here quickly.

  The anxious Xia Li turned around decisively, and quickly walked towards the troublesome young man from behind. When she approached, she suddenly took a step forward, stared into the pupil of the other party, and said in a low voice:

   "Charlie V. Prudence hereby orders you!

   Back off! "

In fact, Higashinohara had already noticed a group of people from the Metropolitan Police Department who came to take over not far away, but he was alone at the moment, and the girl who was staring at him all the way was more likely to be a person with abilities, so he wanted to pass this kind of brute force. Reasonable way to "outsmart".

  Unexpectedly.

  The girl in front of her was decisive and unexpected, and walked straight up to him. A pair of bright silver eyes like Kazilan jumped into her eyes, but the strange red pupils in the middle instantly swallowed him like an endless black hole.

   Higashinohara's head buzzed, and his consciousness suddenly seemed to have fallen into an abyss where his fingers could not be reached, and he kept sinking and sinking, and his body had already lost control.

Oops!

   I got hit by a careless move!

   Unexpectedly, at this moment,

   Higashinohara's soul suddenly "boomed" loudly!

   There was a clear flipping sound like a book, and a manual with a black cover suddenly appeared in the center of my mind. Immediately, I quickly flipped through countless blank pages from back to front, and finally fixed on the title page.

   At the same time, a mechanical ethereal voice sounded in the depths of my mind.

  【The Manual of Evil has detected the existence of hosts in this world】

  【Start scanning. Conditions match】

  【Start Binding】
