"This game has lost its appeal."
With a bored sigh, Kanzaki Teru waved his hand dismissively.
"How about we change the rules again?"
This time, it was Kazami Tsuru's turn to offer her opinion.
"Oh, how do you want to change it?"
"There are seven questions left. I'll let you ask whatever you want. How about we consider this my bet?"
“Interesting. Okay, I accept your challenge.”
Although it would be safest to just let her say it directly, based on Kanzaki Teru's understanding of her...
If she rejects the offer here, she is very likely to change her mind immediately.
Although the possibility is small, it's not impossible.
Moreover, since the other party took the initiative to propose it, Kanzaki Teru had no reason not to accept it.
"The fourth question—"
How can I ask questions to uncover the 800 clues to the truth about this world?
This question is much more difficult than the previous one, since the previous answer could be roughly deduced from the clues.
But now we are facing a problem we know absolutely nothing about, and we don’t even know where to begin asking Kanzaki Hiroshi.
Is this world real?
"This question can be answered yes or no."
On this issue, Kazami Tsuru did not offer any further hints.
However, her answer was truly meaningless, and she regretted wasting an opportunity to ask a question.
Kanzaki Teru tried hard to recall the clues he had obtained, hoping to gain some insights from them.
"Did you learn of my existence through the [Dimensional Ranking]?"
It almost came out of his mouth; the question had been lingering in his mind ever since he heard that Kazami Tsuru wanted to see him.
"no.".
Chapter 288: Arrest
Kazami Tsuru gave the bare minimum answer, looking at Kanzaki Teru with a mocking expression.
It was obvious that she knew something, but she deliberately didn't say it.
But if the other party didn't find out about me through the [Dimensional Ranking], then how did they do it?
Did someone else tell her? No! That's highly unlikely!
Although there were her followers inside the detention center, she was ultimately just an ordinary person.
They don't have the ability to get on the [Dimensional Ranking], although other copycats might have that ability.
However, Kanzaki Teru doesn't believe they were able to successfully convey information to her, so how did she know about herself?
As Sherlock Holmes once said, after eliminating all possibilities.
The remaining one, no matter how impossible it may seem, is the correct answer.
However, this possibility is simply too far-fetched, and it's unclear whether it applies to this person.
However, an unknown force still compelled Kanzaki Teru to raise this question.
"You already knew me?"
Despite having a seemingly kind smile, for some reason...
Kanzaki Teru felt a chill run down his spine, and his clothes were even soaked with sweat.
Because the moment he saw Kazami Tsuru's smile, Kanzaki Teru already knew the answer.
"Yes, I've known you for a long time, Kanzaki-kun."
"Report! There are no suspicious persons!"
However, Nomura Asagao's search outside yielded nothing, unlike Kanzaki Teru.
He knew Kazami Tsuru better, so he knew she wasn't lying about this.
But if that's the case, then where exactly are the copycats?
"Kanzaki-kun, there are no suspicious persons in the detention center."
"Of course I know, after all, the copycat is right behind me."
The moment those words were spoken, a terrifying obsession surged towards Kanzaki Teru.
That's right, the copycat is the bodyguard behind Kanzaki Teru, who was assigned by Nomura Asagao to protect him.
The moment Kanzaki Teru revealed it, the man immediately pulled out the gun he was wearing at his waist.
Without the slightest hesitation, he fired several shots at Kanzaki Hikaru, but even Tokisaki Kurumi couldn't hit him.
How could an ordinary person like him possibly hit them? Kanzaki Teru simply dodged all the bullets that were fired at him with an extremely small arc.
Although it could directly block the space behind, it was far too conspicuous.
He didn't want to be directly arrested and sent to the acting department, so he chose this method.
The explanation can be that the opponent's shot missed.
At that moment, a large number of guards rushed into the room and subdued the man.
"It was you! Your work saved me!"
In an almost frenzied manner, the person was expressing his love for Kazami Tsuru.
No, to be precise, it should be "longing".
Even if you try to shut him up, he keeps yelling.
"I've found the meaning of life! I've created my own value! Ahhhhh! You are my god!"
However, despite the other party's intense emotions, Kazami Tsuru's expression remained unchanged; she simply listened quietly.
Even after being dragged away from the room, he showed no sign of stopping.
The room only returned to silence once the person's voice had completely disappeared.
Even though Kazami Tsuru could no longer hear, Kanzaki Teru felt that the person would still be speaking.
"That person's purpose was nothing more than to chat with me and see me."
As long as this goal can be achieved, nothing else matters.
You probably already considered this, which is why you weren't in a hurry to ask.
"This question involves my privacy, so I cannot answer it."
"Haha, you're really interesting. But you can ask me the rest of the questions next time."
"When you know more, but before that, I can give you a clue..."
Although it was unclear whether what she said was the truth, Kanzaki Teru listened intently.
"There are no problems (with money) in the direction you are currently heading. You may find out everything in the future."
"is it?"
"Huh? You don't believe me?"
I believe in honest people.
This answer was very opportunistic, neither confirming nor denying.
However, as if she had expected this, Kazami Tsuru still had that faint smile on her face.
"See you next time then."
Knowing that he could no longer get any clues from Kazami Tsuru, Kanzaki Teru left without any hesitation.
Since she said her direction was correct, continuing the investigation along this path would surely yield some intelligence.
Chapter 289: The Dark Side Beneath Justice
Although Kanzaki Teru was able to use forceful methods, it was just as he had initially planned.
He has no intention of making enemies of all the police in Japan right now, since there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Since the other party also wants to see me, I might as well organize the clues and then come to find her.
So Kanzaki Teru decided to suppress his impulsive thoughts for the time being.
With this in mind, Kanzaki Teru followed Nomura Asagao out of the detention center.
"Thank you so much for today. I'm sorry for doubting what you did halfway through."
I'm truly sorry that I would criticize your behavior when you've given so much!
From Nomura Asagao's perspective, what he did was hardly a competent act.
As soon as he left the detention center, he bowed directly to Kanzaki Teru to express his apology.
This willingness to admit mistakes to those younger than himself is truly commendable, but this sense of justice might one day become the last straw that breaks his back.
"It's okay. After all, my question was actually a way of testing the other party."
It's no surprise that you're angry; in fact, it shows that you're a person of high moral character.
"I would never joke about other people's lives. Having a prosecutor like you is a source of pride for the entire society."
After hearing Kanzaki Teru's words, Nomura Asagao straightened up again.
After all, Kanzaki Teru didn't intend to embarrass the other party, and besides, anyone who heard such a question would be furious.
Therefore, Nomura Asagao's reaction was entirely within his expectations. On the contrary, if Nomura Asagao had not been angry at the time, Kanzaki Teru would have found it rather strange.
"Thank you for saying that, but it is still my fault, so I still want to apologize to you here."
And although I'm very sorry, I hope you can come and help us with the case again if the opportunity arises.
After all, the abilities that Kanzaki Teru has demonstrated are something that very few people in the National Police Agency can achieve.
