Chapter 157

"No, I might be a bit oversensitive."

"This is just a little girl who isn't very smart; how could I think of her like that?"

Kishida quickly shook his head, feeling ridiculous for his thoughts just now.

But wandering around like this isn't a solution either; this girl clearly doesn't remember her home's location.

"Team Member Emi, help." He privately chatted with Emi through the PDI communicator, took a photo of Kana, and sent it to her.

Emi tapped on the keyboard a few times and, through facial recognition, immediately "doxxed" all her information.

"She is called Kana, she was an orphan in an orphanage, but was adopted by the wealthy 'Iwatsubo' couple two months ago."

"I'll send her address to you now."

Kishida: "Good!"

He carried Kana on his back and soon found the place.

"Kana, is it here? Your home is quite grand." Kishida said.

The maid sweeping the yard was pleasantly surprised when she saw Kana and hurriedly went in to report: "Ma'am, Miss Kana is back!"

Soon, a woman who was dressed richly and also beautiful walked out.

Seeing Kana, she looked very pleasantly surprised and squatted down at the first opportunity to hug her: "Kana, where did you run off to? You really worried Mommy to death."

Kishida, seeing this, felt a slight stir in his heart.

He could see that this woman's concern for Kana was genuine.

This was consistent with Emi's intelligence—the Iwatsubo couple had no children, so they adopted Kana and pampered her like their own daughter.

"That's really strange. A family with money and love should nurture a lively and cheerful child, how could she..."

"Perhaps it hasn't been long enough since the adoption, and she hasn't walked out of the shadow of being an orphan?"

Mrs. Iwatsubo, after confirming Kana was fine, stood up and looked at Kishida:

"I don't know how to address you, but thank you so much."

"This child doesn't know the way, always goes out wandering alone, making it impossible to get home; it's really troublesome."

After speaking, she turned to look at the maid behind her and scolded sternly: "Didn't I warn you earlier? Don't let the young lady go out alone."

The maid lowered her head: "Sorry, Ma'am."

Mrs. Iwatsubo: "It's time for a nap; take the young lady inside."

Just as she was about to be taken away by the maid, Kana handed the red flower in her hand to Kishida: "Uncle, this is for you."

"Uncle?" This address made Kishida find it a bit funny, but it showed Kana also knew how to repay kindness, so he accepted this gift.

After Kana was taken into the house by the maid, Mrs. Iwatsubo sighed with emotion: "This child's temper is also really strange; she's usually disobedient at home, simply like a Statue of Liberty, slipping away if you're not careful, and my husband and I worry to death every day."

Although she was blaming her, there was still some doting in it.

Kishida: "She probably hasn't adapted to her new life yet; she won't be like this when she grows up a bit more."

Mrs. Iwatsubo smiled: "I think so too."

She wanted to give Kishida some reward, but he certainly wouldn't take it. He shook the flower Kana gave him: "I've already received the best gift, goodbye!"

On the other side, Hayami City.

Qi Ming drove the Drum car, searching for the abandoned factory according to the map navigation.

"I remember 【Mazadienz】 is a life form produced by space microorganisms adhering to illegally discarded organ cells; their lair in the original series was an abandoned factory."

"Prioritize checking all abandoned factories near major hospitals, and it's best to strike first to avoid monster events overlapping."

"If multiple monsters appear in different cities, that would be troublesome."

On the other side, inside the KCB interview car.

Lunwen and Reiko were in the driver and passenger seats; they saw the Drum car driven by Qi Ming.

"Look, it's the Victory team's car!" Reiko said excitedly: "Alright, decided, we will find out the truth about the green rain before the Victory team!"

Lunwen sighed very troubled after hearing this: "This isn't realistic, right..."

"It's decided, let's go!" Reiko said full of energy.

The two were very lucky to find the place where the person who discarded artificial organs yesterday was killed and saw a "Miyagawa Hospital" medical waste disposal bag.

But they were discovered and expelled by the city government within two minutes of arriving.

"We are from KCB, here to interview about the strange rain last night."

"I don't care where you are from; this place belongs to the city government now; coming in must go through formal procedures, otherwise it will be very difficult for us."

Although they were driven away, the two didn't give up and took the disposal bag to Miyagawa Hospital.

The interview car stopped in front of the hospital. As soon as Reiko got out of the car, she looked up, and a girl attracted her attention.

Only to see her standing by the window, looking at the world outside with hollow eyes.

"This child..." Reiko developed a deep curiosity about her.

After showing her KCB reporter work ID, she learned the girl's name—she was called Miko.

After simple pleasantries, that girl called "Miko" and her attending physician accepted their interview.

"Miko, your painting is so beautiful." After simple pleasantries, Reiko entered the main topic:

"By the way, I heard you are the first person in the world to have this kind of 'artificial organ transplant surgery'; what are your thoughts, come and tell everyone?"

After speaking, Reiko handed the microphone to Miko.

Miko thought for a while and made a "V" gesture to the camera: "Success, success!"

This appearance made the three people, including the attending physician, laugh out loud.

After the interview, Lunwen, holding the camera, sighed with emotion: "This child is really optimistic; if it were me, I would definitely be scared to death."

Reiko shook her head: "She must be very scared, just pretending to be cheerful."

The attending physician behind walked up:

"That's right, since she was sensible, she has been constantly having surgery, and I don't know how many knives she has already endured."

"I also hope that my research results can let this child play happily like an ordinary child sooner."

Reiko: "Doctor, your result is artificial organs, right? I think it's amazing."

The doctor smiled and took the two to visit his laboratory. He pointed to the livers soaking in sealed containers:

"These are artificial organs cloned from the patient's own genetic factors."

"It can solve the problem of immunity and is even better than the original ones."

"Before long, it will be able to perform its proper functions in Miko's body."

Reiko, who was more concerned about Miko, couldn't help but ask: "Will it go smoothly?"

The doctor nodded confidently: "Of course it will go smoothly."

At the same time, on the rooftop of a building next door, Mitsuhiko, dressed in black, looked at them and then at Miko in the ward, revealing a chilling smile.
