I, the only superpower on earth

In the tree-lined path, Mio Ito looked at the man who got off the car.

After hearing his respectful voice, the girl tilted her head.

"It seems that you already know my identity."

Mio Ito didn't think about hiding her true identity.

However, after the evolution, in terms of appearance and physical signs, she has become farther and farther away from her original self. Assuming that she took two pictures of her past and present self, I am afraid that no one would have thought that this is a person .

So when Fang Shican came to her with this title, the girl was still a little surprised.

——Although this surprise only appeared for a moment.

"Miss Ito, you have appeared in the camera many times, and the height, hair color, and head-to-body ratio have not changed much... and we went to Arakawa District to find Mrs. Ito Nami. She is now living in a mental hospital. "

After saying this, from the corner of Fang Shican's eyes, Fang Shican paid a little attention to Ito Mio's face, but the latter's face did not appear to be shaken as expected.

"What's the point of saying this now?"

Mio Ito looked at him with a smile without any emotion, her eyes were like frozen crystals.

"I'm curious about you—who are you? Why did you come to me?"

"cough……"

Fang Shican revealed a contemplative look, vacated a seat to the side, and let the open door of the RV face Mio Ito.

"Miss Ito Mio, my humble servant, Fang Shican, is in charge of the Cabinet's General Affairs and Security Secretary. I am entrusted by the Prime Minister to take you to a place where I can show you something.

"I believe that those things will definitely help you choose your future path. I don't know what Miss Ito thinks?"

Like a decent waiter, Fang Shican spread his left hand and pointed directly at the inside of the caravan, staring at Mio Ito motionlessly.

The girl stared at him thoughtfully.

The two just looked at each other.

There is no dialogue.

However, Fang Shican could feel the sweat slowly dripping from his back.

A sense of danger permeated the whole body, as if primitive people in ancient times were stared at by the saber-toothed tiger's erect eyes.

That is the premonition and vigilance of danger that has been engraved in human genes millions of years ago.

To be honest, after witnessing Mio Ito's power through video images one by one, Fang Shican now can clearly understand what a terrifying existence the other party is.

If possible, he even wanted to turn around without any demeanor, get in the car immediately, and order the driver to give full throttle and leave this trail quickly.

However, despite the frightening atmosphere, Fang Shican still stood firmly in place, looking at Ito Mio regardless of the danger.

Not only because this is the Prime Minister's entrustment, but also the expectation of the top power figures of the Social Democratic Party.

What's more, he really understands that even if he runs away immediately, he will never be able to run away from the girl in front of him. The latter only needs one thought, and even if he has already fled to the street, a thousand meters away, he will probably be able to escape in her elegant and weird way. In the red thread, she became another human being "redeemed" by her.

Just staring at each other like this.

a long time.

The girl finally smiled lightly.

"It's very interesting."

She turned her head, without any fear, and lightly jumped onto the car.

"Then let me see what to expect."

Behind the girl, Fang Shican, who was facing her back, finally got a chance to breathe, his body softened, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, held on to the handle of the car door, turned his body around stiffly, came into the car, and sat down on the seat next to Mio Ito cautiously, sighing deeply in his heart .

"Things like Transcendents... are really foul. Next time, I would rather go to the Middle East to face the executioners of IS than to perform such a task in front of such a dangerous Transcendent."

After closing the car door, the wheels started, rolled over the fallen leaves, and walked slowly in the predetermined direction.

...

The caravan passed through the tree-lined path and walked slowly along the highway by the river.

Go over the elevated road, walk out of the avenue, and head towards places that are getting farther and farther away from the center of Tokyo.

In the process of walking, the street lamps outside the car window swayed one after another, casting flickering shadows on Mio Ito's face through the window glass.

She pursed her lips, smiling half a smile, looking like a peaceful beauty.

Even Fang Shican deeply understands the power in her hands and the killings she has caused so far, but when he catches a glimpse of her peaceful face from the corner of his eyes, he can't help but be shaken by the thrilling beauty.

"Why...is such a beautiful girl, yet possesses such brutal power?"

Fang Shican's eyelids drooped silently, and there was doubt in his eyes, but it only disappeared for a moment.

He recalled what the prime minister said to himself before leaving, and he blocked the distracting thoughts in his mind that shouldn't be there.

With great responsibilities, and even the possibility of deciding the future of Japan, we cannot be distracted by other things at this time. What's more, I am a man in his early thirties, past the age of being impulsive for girls.

So Fang Shican just sat quietly, without saying a word, waiting for the wheels to stop and reach the end of the journey.

I don't know where the destination is, the only thing I can be sure of is that it must be a very remote place, and when the destination finally arrives, dawn has already appeared faintly in the sky, and the night breaks into the morning.

"Is it here?"

Through the car window, the girl looked at the slightly shabby building that was only three stories high and covered by weeds in the distance.

Fang Shican got out of the car first, opened the door for her, and bowed slightly:

"That's right, it's here, Miss Ito can come down."

The girl walked out of the RV without saying a word, stepped on the slightly damp ground with her feet, and the fresh and astringent suburban air poured into her nostrils.

Dawn had already dawned in the sky, and the building stood quietly in the sunlight, with blue-gray traces of disrepair all over the walls.

"It's here, please Miss Ito come with me."

Fang Shican led the way, guiding Ito Mio into the building.

As he walked, he said:

"This is the Jiaofan building in Mano Town. Because the nearby residents have moved out many years ago, only some old people are left, so the manpower of the police here is not enough. Now there is only one police officer on duty in Jiaofan. He is also the chief here.”

What Fang Shican said was like rambling after drinking, which made people full of doubts. I couldn't understand what he wanted to say, and I didn't know what it was related to.

However, Ito Mio's eyes narrowed slightly.

Vaguely, she seemed to remember something.

And—that was an extremely distant memory.

As the steps gradually moved forward, the first floor, the second floor——Finally, Fang Shican led her to the last room on the second floor.

Pushing open the door, a middle-aged man with gray hair was sitting behind the conference table, wearing shabby clothes, with an embarrassed expression. He looked at Mio Ito who opened the door and opened his mouth slightly, showing a look of surprise.

"Are you...that child from Hongshi's family back then, little...little Mio?"

Looking at this middle-aged man, distant memories finally revived in his mind.

Mio Ito's originally squinted eyes slowly relaxed, looking at the face that somewhat overlapped with the memory, she smiled:

"...So it was you, Uncle Kishibe Zoran.

"—I remember, it was you, uncle, who came to the house to tell the news of my father's death?"

The middle-aged man sighed guiltily and lowered his head without saying a word.

And right beside him, Fang Shican who had just walked to the side had a pile of documents in his hands at some point.

Holding the pile of documents, Fang Shican faced Mio Ito, bowed his head respectfully, and said straight to the point:

"Miss Mio...do you want to know the real cause of your father's death?"
