Chapter 158

~7 min read 1,224 words

"No, I might be a bit overly sensitive."

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

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

But it's not a solution to keep wandering around like this; this girl clearly doesn't remember the location of her home.

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

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

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

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

Kishida: "Alright!"

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: "Madam, Miss Kana is back!"

Soon, a woman who looked wealthy and beautiful walked out.

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

Kishida, who was on the side, 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 information—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 raise a lively and cheerful child; how could she..."

"Perhaps it's because the time of adoption isn't long enough, and she hasn't walked out of the shadow of being an orphan?"

After confirming that Kana was fine, Mrs. Iwatsubo 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 and always goes out wandering alone, making it impossible for her to get home; it really adds trouble to people."

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: "I'm sorry, Madam."

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

Just as she was about to be taken inside 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 could be seen that 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: "This child's temper is really strange; she's always disobedient at home, simply like a Statue of Liberty, slipping away if you're not careful. My husband and I worry to death every day."

Although she was complaining, there was still a bit of doting in it.

Kishida: "Probably she hasn't adapted to the new life yet; she won't be like this when she grows up a bit."

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

She wanted to give Kishida some reward, but Kishida 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 was driving the Dram car, searching for abandoned factories according to the map navigation.

"I remember 【Maza Dienz】 is a life form produced by cosmic microorganisms attaching to illegally discarded organ cells. Their nest in the original series was an abandoned factory."

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

"If multiple monsters appear in different cities, it will be troublesome."

On the other side, inside the KCB interview car.

Renwen and Reiko were in the driver and passenger seats. They saw the Dram 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!"

Renwen sighed very distressedly after hearing this: "This isn't realistic, right..."

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

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

But they were only there for two minutes before they were discovered and driven away by the city government.

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

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

Although they were driven away, the two didn't give up and found Miyagawa Hospital with that processing bag.

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 water droplets sliding down the other side of the window.

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

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

After a simple greeting, she and her attending physician accepted their interview.

"Miko, your painting is beautiful." After the 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, Renwen, who was 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; she's just pretending to be cheerful."

The attending physician behind walked up:

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

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

Reiko: "Doctor, your achievement 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 and said:

"This is an artificial organ cloned from the patient's own genetic factors."

"It can solve the problem of immunity; it's even better than the original."

"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, Mizo, wearing black clothes, looked at them and then at Miko in the ward, revealing a chilling smile.
