Chapter 249

After a long while, Jodie pulled her lips away, still wanting more.

Looking at the man in front of her, she felt a sense of trance in her heart.

She once thought this was just a transaction.

A price paid to avenge her parents.

Jodie had never thought that she would gradually become obsessed with it.

It was just a simple kiss just now, and she had actually fallen for him.

Jodie hurriedly suppressed her surging emotions and asked, diverting her attention: "Akaso-san, are you very familiar with this game?"

Akaso Kaze shook his head, "This is my first time seeing it too."

"Then how are you so amazing?" The woman blinked her large eyes curiously.

Akaso Kaze smiled: "I am an Onmyoji, after all; predicting things is my specialty."

He looked up and scanned, his mouth curling up slightly.

"For example, the man who provoked you just now, he seems to be dead already."

"What?"

Jodie was shocked.

Turning to look, Kengo Bito in the seat was indeed acting strange.

His body was motionless, his head drooping, but the character on the screen was punching and kicking.

"How could this be?"

Jodie asked in confusion.

"The guy who challenged him just now deliberately swapped characters with him, so the one being beaten around is the character he is controlling."

Akaso Kaze cast a Spatial Eye for Jodie.

The woman's eyes widened in surprise instantly.

She saw a small, dark figure emerge from the top of Kengo Bito's head.

"What is that?"

"That guy's soul. After a person dies, the soul will fly out, either falling onto the murder weapon or onto the murderer's head."

"In this situation, it's eight or nine times out of ten the latter."

Jodie watched as the little black figure floated up, drifted toward Takayasu Shimizu opposite, and finally grabbed a few strands of hair on his head.

"It's true, it's too magical!"

Akaso Kaze used his Hand of Intent.

The soul flew up along with the strands of hair.

Takayasu Shimizu frowned in pain, but he was too nervous to care about this.

He had to keep the opponent from landing so that people wouldn't notice that the opponent's character was being controlled by no one.

Akaso Kaze reached out his hand, and the soul slowly landed in his palm.

Jodie was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

Everything she saw before her eyes simply refreshed her worldview.

She looked at Akaso Kaze as if looking at a god.

Being able to control souls, if not a god, then what is he?

"How should this thing be handled?"

Jodie asked with a sense of awe.

"This kind of soul without anyone to worship it can only be kept."

Akaso Kaze threw it into his Soul Space.

In his field of vision was endless darkness, and Kengo Bito looked around blankly.

Then, strange black shadows appeared, surrounding him with excitement.

The ceremony to welcome the newcomer began.

"A, Akaso-san!" A hopeful light suddenly flashed in Jodie's eyes, "Can my parents' souls be found?"

Akaso Kaze shook his head, "I can only preserve souls that haven't been dead for too long and are still lingering in the world. Your parents... it's been too long."

Seeing the woman's desolate expression, Akaso Kaze couldn't bear it.

He stroked Jodie's short golden hair to comfort her:

"My current ability is not enough, but when I become more powerful in the future, perhaps I can reverse time and space; when that time comes, I will definitely help you see them."

Hearing his words, hope reignited in Jodie's eyes.

She hugged Akaso Kaze tightly, as if she wanted to merge with him.

The emotions in her eyes were about to burst forth.

【Ding, Jodie has developed favorability toward you; current favorability is 3.】

Akaso Kaze looked at her, his mouth curled up, and he asked in a low voice: "Want it again?"

Jodie nodded with a blushing face.

"Then wait for me to make a phone call."

Akaso Kaze dialed a number and finished in a few words.

Then he hugged Jodie and walked directly into a secluded small door, disappearing from the noisy game center instantly.

Ten minutes later, police cars lined up neatly at the entrance, and many police officers got out and swarmed in.

"Police? You came just in time, we were just about to call the police..." the game center owner said in surprise.

"We know, isn't it just that someone died while playing a game?" Inspector Megure walked in, puffing out his stomach.

"Huh?" The game center owner's mouth dropped open in shock.

It hadn't even been two minutes since the deceased was discovered; how did the police know everything?

"Who is Takayasu Shimizu?"

"I, I am..." Takayasu Shimizu stood up from the game console, his face full of suspicion.

"We already know that you poisoned Kengo Bito with pufferfish toxin; come with us."

Takayasu Shimizu's face turned pale with fright.

He had waited for days to finally get the chance for Kengo Bito to argue with someone, but who knew he would be identified by the police as soon as he made his move.

However, thinking that the poison needle had been secretly thrown away by him, Takayasu Shimizu tried to remain calm and said: "How can you police suspect people casually? You haven't even understood the situation on the scene, right?"

"No need, someone has already told me."

Inspector Megure waved his hand.

Someone called the police?

Takayasu Shimizu looked left and right; only that pair of unfamiliar-looking man and woman were not present.

He sneered: "Was it that pair of man and woman who were playing against Kengo Bito just now who told you? They are the two who are more suspicious."

"They are suspicious? Do you know who they are?"

Inspector Megure couldn't help but laugh.

One is the crime-busting Onmyoji, and the other is an FBI investigator; you're saying they conspired to kill a small-time thug and then reported it to the police?

That's too ridiculous.

Inspector Megure was too lazy to say more: "Master Onmyoji said the evidence is in his pocket, search him!"

Hearing this, Takayasu Shimizu relaxed instead.

He smiled while reaching into his pocket and said:

"What Onmyoji, he's clearly a charlatan; how could there be evidence in my pocket? If you don't believe me, I'll turn it out for you to see... huh?"

Takayasu Shimizu suddenly froze, reaching his hand out of his pocket.

A thin, small needle was stuck to his finger, looking very familiar.

Takayasu Shimizu's face turned blue instantly.

"Help... help me, I surrender, I confess, I poisoned Kengo Bito, it's pufferfish toxin, quick, save me!"

Inspector Megure chuckled.

In a dozen minutes, a murder case was solved.
