If it weren't for supernatural forces, Kiyoshi Kaneda simply couldn't explain how the "fox" could pull off such outrageous feats that seem straight out of an Indian movie.
But how could such a thing possibly happen?!
Kiyoshi Kaneda subconsciously raised his hand to cover his forehead, feeling that the worldview he had built up over the years based on logic, evidence, and science was cracking under the weight of the burden.
However, amidst this confusion and dizziness of cognitive collapse, an indescribable excitement surged from the depths of my heart like magma!
Overwhelmed by these complex and inexplicable emotions, he abruptly turned around, strode out of the corridor, and returned to the dimly lit parking lot.
The policewoman immediately stepped forward and reported, "Deputy team leader, it has been confirmed that there are no surveillance cameras in this underground parking lot, including at all entrances and exits."
"Of course not."
Kiyoshi Kaneda answered almost instinctively, "They're involved in human organ trafficking, would they really install surveillance cameras to record their own crimes?"
He paused, forced himself to calm down, and issued the order: "Order the helicopters to expand the search area!"
Stop hovering over the hospital and start searching outwards from the hospital to the surrounding area!
Let's see if we can find any trace of the fox!
This was his last hope, based on reason and common sense.
If they can't catch a glimpse of the "fox"...
Therefore, all his previous inferences and profiles will be completely overturned tonight.
The immense shock made him forget to leave behind Komura Mai.
He didn't give the order, and the other officers thought it was unnecessary.
Mai Komura left Ikebukuro Mitsuo General Hospital directly.
Chapter 119 Japan Shaken
It's around eight o'clock in the evening.
If they were elementary or junior high school students, they would probably already be asleep by this time.
However, Saori Hoshino considers herself a mature high school girl, and she will definitely not go to bed until after nine o'clock.
In her view, staying up late is also a sign of growth, a symbol of leaving childhood and taking control of one's own life rhythm.
At that moment, she was wearing a light purple nightgown.
The pajamas are made of soft and comfortable fabric, but what makes them most special is the striking gold Chinese characters printed on them.
Those are famous quotes from philosophers such as Nietzsche and Hegel.
This isn't a style you can buy in stores; it's a pair of pajamas she had specially commissioned.
Unlike ordinary girls, she doesn't prefer cute pajamas covered in cartoon patterns or lace trim.
In her view, those ideas simply failed to demonstrate the profoundness of her thinking as a future great philosopher.
Only this nightgown, inscribed with wise proverbs, is worthy of her unique identity and temperament.
Saori Hoshino was lounging lazily on a giant teddy bear, holding her phone in both hands, her fingertips expertly swiping the screen to refresh the Twitter page.
She was reviewing a "philosophical quote" she had posted half an hour earlier.
Likes: 0.
Instead of disappointment, a look of pity, as if she were the only one sober in a world of drunks, appeared on her face.
These netizens really lack the ability to recognize and appreciate profound thoughts.
Look at those accounts; they can easily garner massive likes and followers by simply posting a picture of legs in stockings or just a pair of shoes.
However, her account, which truly spreads ideas and inspires wisdom, is completely ignored.
I've been a Twitter user for a full year, and my follower count is still that round "0".
Of course, she doesn't care at all whether she has fans or not.
It doesn't matter whether there are likes or not.
Saori Hoshino firmly believes that she is quietly saving this superficial age of "entertainment to the death" in her own unique way.
Thinking about it this way, her chest was suddenly filled with a lofty sense of mission and pride.
She exited Twitter and opened TikTok instead. Her two slender legs were casually bent, and her smooth soles gently tapped her pert buttocks.
The first short video I swiped through was titled "A Shocking Crime Occurs in Ikebukuro!"
The video shows a helicopter hovering over a hospital, with searchlight beams scanning the night sky.
Further away, police cars could be vaguely seen parked at every intersection, completely blocking off the area.
This display successfully attracted Hoshino Saori's attention, causing her to stop scrolling her fingers.
She read the caption carefully and discovered that this was yet another case committed by a "fox".
But unlike usual, this time the "fox" killed more than a dozen people in one go.
The group included members of an illegal human organ trafficking ring, wealthy businessmen who received organ transplants, and even three fully armed U.S. soldiers.
"Amazing!"
Saori Hoshino's small face was filled with amazement.
She opened the comments section, and the top-pinned comment was:
"I would call the fox the strongest swordsman of the 21st century!"
The rebuttal immediately followed: "What's so terrifying about swordsmanship? His muscle strength is even more terrifying."
Using a motorcycle to deflect bullets is the most outrageous tactic ever!
Looking at these comments, Hoshino Saori blinked her big eyes, her face full of confusion.
A motorcycle was flung into the air? What happened?
She immediately typed the keywords "fox, Ikebukuro" into the search box.
Instantly, a large number of related short videos popped up.
She clicked on one of the most viewed videos, an analysis video produced by a well-known political blogger.
In the video, the blogger is excited and speaks very quickly: "I'm sure everyone already knows what the fox did in Ikebukuro tonight."
But most people probably don't have a direct understanding of what the fox has done.
Now, the most detailed analysis on the entire internet is here!
I will use scientific methods to rigorously verify just how terrifying the strength and reaction speed a fox needs to accomplish this series of feats.
To be honest, after completing the simulation, I had absolutely no doubt about those historical accounts of taking the enemy general's head amidst a vast army!
Next, the blogger began to list various complex formulas and physical models for calculation.
Saori Hoshino was completely bewildered, not understanding the symbols and calculations at all. She just stared at the amazing conclusion that was finally reached, feeling that it seemed incredibly impressive.
She opened the comments section again, where most of the comments were from netizens like her who were "impressed but didn't understand," saying things like, "Although I don't understand, this guy is awesome."
Many netizens are also discussing and speculating that "Fox" may be an escaped test subject from the US military's secret human experiments.
Some even claim he is a "saint" who has received divine revelation.
Of course, some people believe that he killed too many people, that he was a "devil," and that it was a sign that "the gates of hell are about to open"...
Even pronouncements about "the end times" and "divine punishment" have emerged one after another.
Saori Hoshino was completely baffled, only feeling that everyone online seemed unusually excited.
Although in reality, she has to exert all her strength to lift a 50-pound bag of rice, this does not prevent her from developing some unrealistic perceptions of "strength" due to the long-term "influence" of various movies and TV series.
For example, throwing a motorcycle weighing over 100 kilograms into the air doesn't seem that impressive.
After all, even the Hulk can toss cars around like toys.
She subconsciously typed a few words in the comment box, thought about it, then deleted them all and jumped directly to the next short video.
Just then, the bedroom door was pushed open with a "click".
Saori Hoshino complained, "Dad! Don't come into my room without knocking!"
"The situation is urgent."
Upon hearing this, Hoshino Saori turned around and glanced at him.
The father was dressed in a sharp suit, with a suitcase at his feet.
"Dad, are you going on a long trip?"
“Yes,” Hoshino Shusuke nodded, his tone serious, “Tokyo is too unsafe right now. I plan to take you to a manor in Hokkaido to lay low for a while.”
You should pack your things quickly, I'll help you with the transfer procedures.
"Huh?! I want to go too?!"
Saori Hoshino was shocked. She immediately hugged her teddy bear tightly and protested loudly, "I don't want to transfer schools! If you want to go, go yourselves!"
"You must have seen the short video of the fox's performance, right?"
Hoshino Shusuke frowned. "Given the power he's displayed, if he really wanted to kill us, those bodyguards might not be able to stop him."
"Dad," Saori Hoshino said in disbelief, "have you done something heinous?"
Hoshino Shusuke rolled his eyes at her helplessly and said, "Of course not, health supplements don't do any harm to the body."
But the fox is a madman!
Who knows what his criteria are for killing? What if he suddenly targets us for no reason?
"I'm not afraid!" Hoshino Saori hugged the teddy bear even tighter, adopting a resolute stance of "I'd rather die than leave."
Hoshino Shusuke looked at his daughter and pondered for a moment.
He thought to himself, "No matter what, 'Fox' wouldn't go so far as to prey on a high school girl."
In comparison, the goals of myself, my wife, and my son and daughter-in-law are bigger and the risks are higher.
"Since you're so determined not to leave, then stay. But we have to go right away."
"Oh, then have a safe journey."
