Chapter 150

"Are we going to talk about things related to Shiraishi?"

Kiryu Zhantu nodded slightly.

Then, everyone sat down one after another on the rooftop of Nascita Cafe, as if they were sitting in an open-air conference room.

Then, Kiryu Sento said: "In conclusion, it is very likely that we will need to face new enemies other than Killbus and Evolto."

Manager Ishidou frowned slightly, looked at Kiryu Sento, and asked: "Based on the situation described by Evolto and Vernage, everything should be completely over, right?

“First, Killbus crazily destroyed the Blood planet, killing most of the Blood people on the spot.

"Then Evolto and some other Blood survivors fled to Mars, trying to devour Mars to gain power that could compete with Killbus.

"Subsequently, at the moment when Martian civilization collapsed, the Princess of Mars sealed Evolto at a huge cost.

"In the end, the survivors of the Blood tribe who gradually regained their strength were eliminated, Killbus who was pursuing them was eliminated, and Evolto, who had planned many things, was also eliminated...

"The Blood clan should have become extinct."

However, Kiryu Zhantu shook his head slightly and explained to everyone: "The enemies I am talking about are not the Blood people from the Blood planet, but special beings derived from the alchemy power system...

"In alchemical terms, they are called [Holmonks].

"To put it in layman's terms...

"It's [artificial human]."

Saruwatari Kazumi frowned slightly: "[Alchemy] and [Artificial Human], although I still don't know what exactly happened, but hearing such terms, I know that this matter is definitely related to Shiraishi..."

Wanzhanglong, I was a little confused: "So, what is that thing called [Hallmonks]?"

Kiryu Zhantu slowly exhaled, and he began to explain to everyone: "During the time when I was making the Sage Bottle, Shiraishi and I had in-depth exchanges. Therefore, the basic principles of alchemy and many special aspects related to alchemy I also have a preliminary understanding of the concept.

“And [Hallmonks] is one of the many alchemical concepts I understand.

"The so-called Hormonks refer to the [ultimate life forms] born from the ultimate alchemy. They possess innate knowledge and special powers. They are born out of human beings but superior to them. life on.

“To a certain extent, the Hormonks, who were born from the ultimate alchemy and are connected to the [Gate of Truth], are synonymous with alchemy.

"They are the living Philosopher's Stone.

"They are close to [gods]."

Himuro Gentoku frowned slightly, and after a moment, he asked Kiryu Zhantu: "But...

"What does this have to do with Shiraishi?"

Store manager Shi Dong seemed to have realized something. He frowned slightly, then looked at Kiryu Zhantu, and asked: "Zhantu, you mean...

"It is very possible that Shiraishi, who possesses that kind of special perfect cells, is not a human being, but the so-called [Hallmonks]?

"But......

"How could Shiraishi-kun be an enemy?"

After hearing the words of the store manager Shiraishi, Kiryu Zhantu smiled helplessly and shook his head. He immediately explained: "I didn't say Shiraishi was an enemy...

"Shiraishi is my best friend.

"How could he be an enemy?"

Then, Kiryu Zhantu adjusted his expression slightly, and he said seriously: "Let's leave aside the matter of whether Shiraishi is Hall Monks...

"What I want to say is...

"In this world, it is very likely that there is a special [Hall Monks" hidden in this world who is trying to control Shiraishi's fate, trying to use Shiraishi to complete the refining of the Philosopher's Stone, and ultimately taking away Shiraishi's Philosopher's Stone. 】.

Himuro Gentoku looked solemn: "How do you say this?"

[The Living Philosopher's Stone].

[The existence that tries to control Shiraishi's fate].

No matter which element, it is frightening.

The power of the Philosopher's Stone needs no introduction.

Analyze everything and create everything.

As long as enough energy can be provided to the Philosopher's Stone, the Philosopher's Stone can do anything.

Killbus, who was able to hunt planets, was defeated by the power of analysis. Evolto, who was fused with Killbus, risked his life and used all his power, but he was no match for the perfectly refined Philosopher's Stone...

No matter how powerful the power is, in front of the Philosopher's Stone, it is just a bubble of fantasy that can be burst with just one poke.

If the enemy is the [Living Philosopher's Stone], then Himuro Handoku can't imagine anything that can defeat the being named Holmonks.

As for [trying to manipulate Shiraishi's fate]...

That would be even scarier.

That's Huang Jinqing!

That's the man who strategized and manipulated both Killbus and Evolto!

Being able to control the fate of Shiraishi like this...

That Hallmonks…

What kind of power does it possess?

However, Kiryu Sento exhaled slowly and explained to everyone: "To elaborate on this matter, we must start from Shiraishi's past.

"Actually, before I lost my memory, I had already slightly investigated some content related to this, and I was vaguely aware of it...

"But at that time, I didn't collect enough intelligence, and I couldn't connect all the intelligence I collected...

“So, I can’t come to a conclusion.

"Then, Evolto, the extraterrestrial life form, Faust, the secret organization, and Pandora's Box...

“A lot of other things came into my life.

“So, I had to focus on dealing with matters related to Evolto and put the investigation of Shiraishi on hold for the time being.

“And at that point, I fell into amnesia again.

“Therefore, the investigation into Shiraishi is completely over, with no results.

"But now...

"Evolto's matter is settled.

“And I also found a father who could provide information about me and Shiraishi when we were young.

“Also, I learned about alchemy.

"then......

"Everything is connected."

Kiryu Zhantu paused slightly.

Then he said seriously:

"The matter starts with Shiraishi's [mother]."

260-Shiraishi’s past

After hearing what Kiryu Sento said, Wanzhang Ryuuga frowned slightly. He repeated the key words in Kiryu Sento's words: "Shiraishi's mother?"

Kiryu Zhantu nodded slightly, and he explained to everyone: "Shiraishi's mother, Ms. Kagura."

After a pause, Kiryu Zhantu added: "According to what I know, Shiraishi grew up in a single-parent family, and the mother who raised Shiraishi was Ms. Kagura.

"Now that we analyze it, Ms. Kagura actually has a lot of weird things about her."

Store manager Shi Dong frowned slightly: "Weird?"

Kiryu Zhantu nodded again, and he continued to explain to everyone: "The first thing is [appearance].

"According to my memory, when I first met Shiraishi, Ms. Kagura standing nearby had the appearance of a young woman around twenty years old. She even had a slightly girlish temperament about her, which was completely different. Like Shiraishi's mother.

“I once thought she was Shiraishi’s sister.

"As she grows older, the weirdness of Ms. Kagura is also revealed.

"In the more than ten years that Shiraishi and I have been together, Ms. Kagura's appearance has hardly changed...

"She always wears black clothes, always looks young and even girlish, always smiles slightly, lowers the brim of her hat with black lace gloves, and then whispers lightly.

"It's like...

"It's as if her body is a delicately carved doll that won't change over time."

Himuro Hantoku nodded slightly: "[Doesn't age]? It sounds very much like the characteristics that the so-called [Hallmonks] should have."

Then, Kiryu Zhantu continued to add: "Besides her [unchanged appearance], her [coming and going] also seems a little strange.

"To put it simply...

"I have never seen Ms. Kagura act alone."

Wan Zhang Long I frowned, he shook his head slightly and continued to ask: "What does that mean?"

Kiryu Zhantu explained: "Under normal circumstances, generally speaking, when visiting a friend's house, you will occasionally encounter a situation where [the friend is not at home, but the friend's relatives are at home at the moment], right?"

Wan Zhang Long I nodded slightly.

Kiryu Zhantu said: "However, in the past ten years, I have never encountered a situation like this...

"As long as [Shiraishi is not at home], then [Ms. Kagura is definitely not at home].

"As long as [Ms. Kagura is at home], then [Shiraishi must also be at home]."

Store manager Shi Dong was thoughtful.

Then, Kiryu Sento continued to add: "Not only that, looking back now, I have never even seen the scene of [Ms. Kagura walking slowly]...

“Every time [I witnessed Ms. Kagura], it was [she and Shiraishi appeared together].

"Wherever Ms. Kagura can be found, Shiraishi can be found nearby."

Kiryu Zhantu paused slightly: "Also, every time Ms. Kagura appears, Shiraishi will show a certain degree of weakness and pain..."

At the same time, Katsuragi Shinobu nodded slightly, and added: "At that time, I even thought that Ms. Kagura was using corporal punishment or some more radical special method to educate Shiraishi...

"For this reason, I even warned her tactfully."

The store manager Ishido looked at Kiryu Sento, he frowned and analyzed: "It sounds like this Ms. Kagura is probably stealing Shiraishi's power to maintain her appearance and actions... .

"[It will only appear next to Shiraishi].

“[Making Shiraishi weak and in pain].

"That makes sense."

And Saruwatari Kazumi also looked at Kiryu Sento, and he asked: "So, that Ms. Kagura is indeed very suspicious...

"So, where is she now?"

Kiryu Sento shook his head slightly: "She disappeared."

Himuro Gentoku frowned: "Disappeared?"

Kiryu Sento nodded, and he explained: "About six years ago, one day, for some reason, Ms. Kagura suddenly disappeared from this world completely as if she had evaporated from the earth.

"Shiraishi has no idea where she is.

"And the Toudou Public Security Bureau has never investigated where Ms. Kagura went."

Manjo Ryuga touched his chin: "So, this Ms. Kagura is indeed very strange."

Then, Kiryu Sento paused for a moment, he looked at the stairwell leading to Nascita, and said: "However, it was Shiraishi's memory that finally made me confirm Ms. Kagura's identity as an enemy.

"After I gradually regained my memories as Katsuragi Takumi, I found something strange.

"Although Shiraishi did not explain it clearly, based on his behavior and the information I got after hinting at certain topics...

"Shiraishi's memory was tampered with."

"He seemed to have completely forgotten Ms. Kagura."

"He was not even sure if he was the Shiraishi who had spent his childhood and youth with me."
