Chapter 292

[You are, you are the last hope. 】

[Things about protecting Fengdu...]

【Leave it to you. 】

[Let me, a dabbler, see...]

【What is a real tough guy...】

Then, the words Shiraishi mentioned not long ago were also recalled by Terui Ryu.

【And after that...】

【I believe in the decision made by Section Chief Terui. 】

[Because I am sure you are not a spy. 】

[Because I trust your judgment. 】

[Therefore, no matter what decision you make after the confidential discussion, I will support you as always. 】

Terui Ryu closed his eyes.

【hateful! 】

[I am obviously just an ugly avenger who wants to vent his inner hatred! 】

【You guys...】

[Don’t think that words like these can stop me from taking revenge on the culprit! 】

Terui Ryu opened his eyes.

The next moment, fists were punched out.

Shroud subconsciously closed his eyes because of this.

boom!

After a moment, Shroud slowly opened his eyes.

The expected fist did not hit her face.

She tilted her head slightly.

Terui Ryu's fist hit the wall nearby, and blood flowed between his fingers.

The wall was slightly dented.

The body enhanced by Accel's memory is so terrifying.

Terui Ryu stared at Shroud: "After this incident is over, you should leave the Metropolitan Police Department.

“It doesn’t matter where you go.

"At least don't appear in my field of vision or within the scope of my investigation for a short period of time.

"I will leave it to Shiraishi to upgrade the Accel armor and further develop the Trial memory.

"About your revenge...

"I will defeat Sonosaki Ryubei.

“However, it’s not for you.

“It’s for Philip and Zuo who saved me from Sonosaki Ryubei’s attack that day.

“It’s because he is a sin that deserves to be defeated.

“That’s it for now.

“And after that, I hope you can fulfill your promise and settle your sins.

"If you don't do it, I'll do it for you."

Terui Ryu withdrew his hand.

He looked at his bleeding hands, and then said calmly: "Revenge in the wrong way will only lead to more tragedies, and I have seen this in our lives.

"So next..."

Terui Ryu looked at Shroud.

"What I want to do is no longer revenge.

“It’s about doing your job as a police officer.

“Although there is no difference in what needs to be done.

"But for us.

"The difference is huge."

451-Sonosaki Fumin

Shroud was silent for a long time.

She had to admit that Terui Ryu made a choice that surprised her.

After a moment, Shroud responded.

She nodded slightly.

"I see.

"As you wish, after this incident is over, I will leave under the pretext of investigating Consortium X.

"As for what I will do after this...

"It depends on how far you can go."

Shroud turned and looked out the window in a certain direction.

That is the direction where Sonosaki's house is.

Then, Shroud added.

"If you can defeat Sonosaki Ryubei and make Sonosaki Ryubei receive the punishment he deserves...

"Then, according to the agreement, I will surrender after this and pay for all my sins.

“No matter what my final outcome is, I will choose to accept it calmly.

"Whether he is tried by the law or dies miserably and alone, it doesn't matter."

Shroud withdrew his gaze.

"but......

"If you fail to defeat Sonosaki Ryūbei and are defeated by Sonosaki Ryūbei...

"You know.

“I will once again set out on the road to find a suitable knight of revenge, and I will once again graft the cursed fate called revenge onto the next unfortunate person.

"after all......

"Revenge has become everything in my life.

“It’s pretty much the only reason for me to live.

"I will not make a promise that I will stop taking revenge.

"Because you and I both understand...

"Even if a promise is made, it is [a promise that is absolutely impossible to fulfill]."

Then, Shroud slowly exhaled.

"so......

“Everything depends on you, Terui Ryu.

“It all depends on what you can do.

"If you could stop me...

"Then, just do it for me."

Then, Shroud raised his head and looked at Terui Ryuu.

"also......

"Before I leave the Fengdu Metropolitan Police Department's Abnormal Event Investigation Section, I hope that I can still maintain my identity as a technical advisor and do one last thing as a technical advisor."

Terui Ryu looked at Shroud.

"That depends on what you want to do."

He didn't give a clear answer.

Shroud, on the other hand, tilted his head slightly.

She first looked at Philip standing beside her, then at the door of the Abnormal Incident Investigation Division of the Fuuto Metropolitan Police Department, and then at Terui Ryu again.

She finally answered.

After a moment, Shroud replied: "Finally, I hope to be able to talk to Sonosaki Saeko alone without being monitored and recorded by the Metropolitan Police Department."

After hearing Shroud's words, Terui Ryu also slowly turned around following Shroud's gaze. He tilted his head slightly to look at Philip standing beside him, and then followed Shroud to look at the door where Sonosaki Saeko left.

As his eyes turned, Terui Ryu connected the information he had learned so far.

The conclusion came naturally.

After a moment, Terui Ryu retracted his gaze and looked at Shroud again: "I see.

"I understand.

"In that case, then it's as you wish.

"Shroud.

"No......

"Maybe I should call you......

"Ms. Sonosaki Fumion."

Ever since it was clear that the criminal organization Museum that sold Gaia memories in the dark corners of Fuuto was the Sonosaki family, the Fuuto Metropolitan Police Department has almost never stopped investigating the Sonosaki family.

And for this reason, some information related to the Sonosaki family was quickly collected.

Now, among the information collected by the Metropolitan Police Department that can be verified, there are two facts.

[The Sonosaki family once had a child named Sonosaki Raito, but he disappeared later, and there is no clue or evidence to reveal his whereabouts. He may be missing, or he may be dead. ]

And......

[Soon after Sonosaki Raito disappeared, the relationship between Sonosaki Fumion and Sonosaki Ryubei broke down, and Sonosaki Fumion left the Sonosaki family and has been missing since then. ]

The police officers who knew these two pieces of information believed that these two pieces of information were likely to be critical.

However, due to the limited amount of intelligence, the accuracy and coverage of intelligence, no one knows what these two key intelligences mean.

But now, after hearing Shroud's words and realizing what Shroud did, Terui Ryu understands what these two intelligences mean.

Combining Shroud's words, Shroud's hatred for Sonosaki Ryuhei, his concern for Sonosaki Saeko, and his slight favoritism towards Philip when working with Philip and Officer Shiraishi on weekdays, the conclusion is obvious.

The boy named Philip who lost his memory in the Minghai Detective Agency is probably the child named Sonosaki Kuren.

And the woman Sonosaki Fumion who disappeared after Sonosaki Kuren disappeared is the current Shroud.

Now it seems that perhaps Sonosaki Ryuhei's behavior hurt Sonosaki Kuren, and even caused Sonosaki Kuren to lose his memory as Sonosaki Kuren, which led to the birth of the current Philip.

At the same time, Sonosaki Fumion, who could not accept that her child was treated like this, and Sonosaki Ryubei's relationship broke down, and the two even became enemies. Then, Sonosaki Fumion chose to leave the Sonosaki family and became Shroud today.

Shroud just nodded slightly, but did not continue to push forward on this topic.

Shroud said lightly: "At this point, there is no need to hide it.

"Why not reveal it completely, maybe I can see Saeko for the last time."

After a moment, Terui Ryu looked at Shroud: "Do you need me to tell Philip about this at the right time?

"I mean, Sonosaki is coming."
