Chapter 259
While speaking, Zuo Shotaro also subconsciously pressed the Joker memory tied with a bandage on his left hand.
When necessary, he would have to ask Phillip or Terui Ryu for help.
However, unless it is absolutely necessary, Shotaro Zuo still hopes that he can play a more role and buy some time for Philip and Terui Ryu to fight against the museum and the Sonosaki family.
Then, Zuo Shotaro also stood up: "It's hard work for you all running around in Fengdu to help collect intelligence.
“Then just have a good rest and wait patiently.
"Just leave the rest of the investigation to me."
Then, after sending several members of the Fengdu Detective Team away, Shotaro Zuo and Asukiko Narumi also launched an investigation.
...
A cemetery near the church.
After finding Miss Erika's grave, Arukiko Narumi and Shotaro Zuo each slowly placed the flowers they had prepared in memory in front of Miss Erika.
Looking at the grave, Arukiko Narumi said: "Since it is confirmed that Miss Erika's grave is here, and there are no signs of damage around the tomb, can we be sure that Miss Erika did not crawl out of the grave after physical resurrection? Already?
"So that means...
"Is it really the soul of the dead that has returned?"
However, before Zuo Shotaro could answer, a voice came from behind Narumi Asukiko and Zuo Shotaro.
"There is no such thing."
Arukiko Narumi and Shotarou Zuo turned around.
But I saw a priest standing quietly in the cold wind.
There was a gentle smile on his face.
The priest came to Miss Erika's grave. He made a sign of the cross in front of him, then closed his eyes and recited a few words.
Then, the priest looked at Narumi Asukiko and Zuo Shotaro, and he explained: "Although there are graves in the cemetery here, the remains of the deceased are not buried in the graves in this area.
“Strictly speaking, the graves in this area are all cenotaphs erected by the families of the deceased to commemorate the deceased.
"The Miss Erika you call me is no exception.
“So, there is no body of Miss Erika here.
"Therefore, your previous judgment was wrong."
After hearing what the priest said, Shotaro Zuo subconsciously stopped Asukiko Narumi behind him. He said, "I wonder who this priest is...?"
The priest nodded slightly and said, "Robert Shishima, you can call me Father Robert or Father Shishima."
Then, Robert Shijima looked at Miss Erika's grave again. He shook his head slightly and said seriously: "As for the things related to [Resurrection of the Dead] and [Resurrection of the Dead] you mentioned, I also have a few thoughts." Ever heard of...
"I have to say...
"That's an unpleasant thing to say."
Robert Shishima looked at Miss Erika's grave, his eyes seemed to be looking into the very far distance, and he said: "No matter what, death is absolutely solemn for human beings.
“It is a sad thing to discuss the possibility of death being denied in such a childish way.
“Only by facing death and separation can people continue to move forward.
"But there are always some people who cannot face the facts, but are immersed in mythical stories and legends..."
After hearing Robert Shishima's words, Narumi Asukiko also nodded slightly, as if she agreed with Robert Shishima very much.
However, Zuo Xiangtaro frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Father, have you heard similar rumors?"
Robert Shijima was stunned for a moment, and then he answered: "Of course there are lost lambs who come to seek guidance.
“And I answered their questions one by one.
"After all, it is my duty to unravel the confusion of those who are confused."
After hearing Robert Shishima's words, Zuo Shotaro suddenly took Narumi Asukiko's hand. He nodded slightly to Robert Shishima, and then said: "I see...
"I see."
"Sorry for disturbing the tranquility of the cemetery.
"We'll leave right away."
Then, Shotaro Zuo also pulled Yasuki Narumi and left outside the cemetery at an extremely fast speed.
In this regard, Robert Shijima did not make any expression. He just nodded slightly and then watched the two of them leave.
There was always a gentle smile on his lips.
...
After turning a corner and confirming that he and Narumi Asukiko should have disappeared from Robert Shijima's field of vision, Zuo Shotaro let go of Narumi Asukiko, and then breathed slowly.
Seeing Shotarou Zuo showing such an appearance, Asukiko Narumi also asked with a vague understanding: "Do you think there is something wrong with that priest?"
Shotaro Zuo took out his stag beetle phone. While editing text messages and sending them to Terui Ryuu and Philip, he explained to Asukiko Narumi: "Ah, I think there is something wrong with him.
"There are two suspicious points on his body.
"First, in the current situation where cases related to [Kamen Rider], [Gaia Memory] and [Dopant] are constantly appearing in Fengdu, he has no doubt that such an incident may be related to Gaia Memory and the doping body. It is related to miscellaneous things, but it is determined that the people who come for help are unable to let go of their relatives and friends and face death, so they see the legendary "resurrection of the souls of the dead" and "resurrection of the dead".
“He didn’t even suspect that it was an illusion-type Gaia memory.
"Secondly, people who firmly believe in [Resurrection of the Dead] and [Resurrection of the Dead] are often people like Ms. Mutsuki Ansami who have witnessed the dead appearing in front of them. And even Ms. Mutsuki Ansami has already Anyone who accepts the death of his sister must entrust a detective to investigate. How can those who have not given up hope give up their obsession and stop pursuing it after listening to a few words of explanation from the priest?
“What kind of explanation could disprove the definite sighting?
"Although it is a bit far-fetched to regard these two things as doubts...
“After all, there are as many reasons as there are to explain these two so-called doubts at the same time.
"For example, Mr. Father doesn't pay attention to the news, and he doesn't know that Gaia's memory and dopants have appeared in Fengdu.
"For example, Mr. Father has excellent business ability, and he can indeed relieve the worries of worried people.
“However, my intuition tells me that these two strange doubts cannot be ignored...
"and......
"There is nothing wrong with being cautious."
After sending the text message, Shotaro Zuo adjusted his hat and tentatively looked outside.
Father Robert Shishima had disappeared.
And Zuo Xiangtaro also continued to say: "Therefore, based on these two doubts, I have the most basic reasoning.
"If this Father Robert Shijima is the dopant behind the scenes who used the power of Gaia's memory to promote the phenomena of [Resurrection of the Dead] and [Resurrection of the Dead]...
"If [forcing people to look to him for guidance] is also part of his plan...
“Then it all makes sense.
"With the power of Gaia's memory, Father Robert Shijima created the phenomena of [Resurrection of the Dead] and [Resurrection of the Dead].
“The family members of the deceased who witnessed this incident became uneasy.
“Then, the family members of the deceased were running around, trying to figure out what was going on with the [Resurrection of the Dead] and [Resurrection of the Dead].
"Then, consciously or unconsciously, they recalled the church near the cemetery where their relatives and friends were buried...
“Eventually, they found Father Robert Shishima…
"As for what exactly happened after that...
“It’s hard to say.
"In short, since then, no one has been running around, trying to ask people to investigate the [Resurrection of the Dead] and [Resurrection of the Dead].
“Even the original investigation may be terminated.
"Only in this way can we explain the [large number of sightings] and the [lack of definite follow-up information] we have collected."
But just as Shotaro Zuo opened his mouth to explain, Asukiko Narumi's cell phone suddenly rang.
Narumi Asukiko took out her mobile phone.
It's Ms. Mutsuki Ansami's phone number.
Narumi Asukiko looked at Zuo Shotaro.
Zuo Shotaro nodded slightly.
Then, Narumi Asukiko answered the phone hands-free.
Miss Mutsuki Ansami's voice came.
"Is it Narumi Detective Agency?
"Feel sorry......
"About my sister...
"There is no need to continue the investigation."
After hearing the content on the phone, Narumi Yasuki also looked at Zuo Shotaro in surprise.
To a certain extent, Ms. Mutsuki Ansami's call completely confirmed Zuo Shotaro's speculation.
Shotaro Zuo held his hat: "It seems that we have to go to the church next..."
411-Kamen Rider Skull (2-in-1)
After hearing that Shotaro Zuo made the decision to go to the church to investigate, Arukiko Narumi nodded in agreement: "Ms. Mutsuki Ansami is the client of the Narumi Detective Agency...
"The client's safety must not be tampered with!"
Then, Asukiko Narumi and Shotarou Zuo made preparations to sneak into the church not far away to investigate.
However, before Asukiko Narumi and Shotarou Zuo could take a few steps further, Father Robert Shishima, who had just disappeared into the cemetery, slowly walked out of the corner and stopped in front of the two of them.
The steps of Asukiko Narumi and Shotarou Zuo stopped abruptly.
Father Robert Shijima looked at Asukiko Narumi and Shotaro Zuo, with the same gentle expression on his face as always.
But what he said was chilling.
"A perceptive brat like you...
"It's really annoying."
While talking, Robert Shijima also took out a Gaia memory with the letter D printed on it, and then slowly walked towards the direction where Naruka Asukiko and Zuo Shotaro were.
Narumi Asukiko, who had no special fighting ability, and Zuo Shotaro, who was temporarily unable to transform, also slowly retreated.
Robert Shijima said calmly: "Fortunately, I paid a little attention to you...
"Otherwise, you will really ruin my plan.
"Although I'm not good at weaving lies, I can only rely on the special effects created by Gaia's memory to fool people...
"But on the other hand, I am very good at using the power of Gaia's memory to make up for the shortcomings of my lies...
"Just get rid of you two...
"My plans can continue."
Narumi Asukiko retreated and counterattacked: "Hmph, don't be too happy too early...
“We have notified the Abnormal Incident Investigation Section of the Fengdu Metropolitan Police Department, which specializes in handling Gaia memory and dopant-related incidents!
"Even if you deal with us, your scam will still be exposed!
"Your plan is destined to fail!"
However, Robert Shijima smiled.
Robert Shishima activated his Gaia memory.
Unlike other Gaia Memories, Robert Shishima's Gaia Memories do not have a roll call sound effect when activated.
