Chapter 56

"Katagiri Anjuro is still in the park and has no obvious actions."

Angelica shook the glass bottle and listened to the real-time report of Officer Hagiwara on the other end of the phone.

"Mika Town in the real world has received the message transmitted by the crow."

"They are also consciously on guard against this."

But...

after becoming a ghost, Hagiwara Kenji no longer has to worry about disguise and cover. He is almost standing there Under the cherry blossom tree, Katagiri Anjuro was closely watched behind him - of course, he didn't need to keep a close eye on him before he became a ghost.

After all, he is a member of the explosives disposal team and usually only deals with explosives.

But, do they really have the ability to deal with such an escaped prisoner?

Hagiwara Kenji recalled what he saw: the staff were lazy, the work was haphazard, and there was not a single vigilant person in the entire police station.

Although the newspaper of unknown origin made them scream for a while, the newspaper with the bold and capitalized title "The Worst Criminal Escapes" was quickly thrown aside by the police.

"Ah - what do you think - that kind of guy wouldn't come to a small place like Morio Town, right?"

The police officer who spoke yawned, looked around, and found that no one came in, so he immediately lay down like a boneless person. On the desk, he stretched.

Really, helplessly slow and undisciplined.

Although he did not initially place any expectations on the arrest of Katagiri Anjuro on the Morio Town police officers, Hagiwara Kenji couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he saw such a careless person with his own eyes.

"Now, what are you going to do?"

Hagiwara Kenji raised his head and looked at the crow that had flown to the cherry blossom tree at some point: If it's not an illusion, has this crow gotten a little smaller? Compared with before, the body shape is obviously smaller.

"What to do..."

Angelica was also hesitating: she had already shared the situation of Anjuro Katagiri's prison escape with Jotaro Kujo, but it was not practical to expect him to come to help for the time being.

According to Kujo Jotaro's information, Star Platinum's ability is indeed very powerful - the pause time, even though it is only a few seconds, is enough to change everything and rewrite all endings. It is an invincible ability.

but!

On the one hand, Kujo Jotaro now has to take care of a bunch of children. If he appears in front of Katagiri Anjuro with the children... it would be good to be able to defeat the enemy instantly. If there is a mistake, that guy will definitely be completely destroyed. Holding a grudge, that kind of person's revenge, is really too dangerous for children.

On the other hand, after all, Kujo Jotaro is now in the real world. Even if he temporarily entrusts his children to Higashikata Josuke and rushes to Morio Town Park alone... it may be counterproductive, alerting the enemy and making Katagiri Anjuro aware of Morio. Machi was already on guard against herself.

...Who makes...Jotaro Kujo really don't look like a good guy...ahem...not like a simple character?

"I'll go to Moriocho Park first."

After thinking over and over again, Angelica made her choice.

Although the first substitute was completely defeated, it doesn't matter: everyone grows from failure and learns from failure.

Angelica already understood the reason for her mistake: she failed to see through the characteristics of the opponent's substitute in time, which gave him an opportunity to let the substitute slip away from the sewer in advance... This time, as long as she catches Anjuro Katagiri's substitute Realize it and put it in a glass bottle, then he is no longer a threat.

So now, the important thing is——

"Ah——! Mr. Jotaro——! There is a big crow sitting on your UFO outside——!!"

Higashikata Jousuke drank a refreshing drink. Drinking refreshing mineral water, I saw the situation outside the store out of the corner of my eye: on the roof of the car that Jotaro Kujo brought people in, a black crow that I had never seen before turned its head, its scarlet eyes staring straight. Goudi looked into the store.

[Staring——] He

even happened to look at Higashikata Josuke for a second.

At that second, Higashikata Jousuke seemed to see human-like emotions in his red eyes.

"Huh? Crow?" Kong Tiao Xu Lun caught the keyword and quickly put the half-eaten cone aside, "Is it mommy?"

Ah?

What?

Burp~

Higashikata Josuke couldn't help but hiccup because of his surprise and drinking water too quickly.

"No, am I talking about crows?" He felt that his communication with little Xu Lun was a bit like talking to a duck. "Didn't you see anyone else?"

"You don't understand!"

Xu Lun, Kutiao jumped off the chair briskly. , flew out of the door of the restaurant like a little butterfly: "Mommy——?!"

[Staring——]

"Wait a minute——!"

Higashikata Jousuke looked at Jotaro Kujo who was as motionless as a clock, and then looked again The child who went out alone scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "I'll go out and take a look..."

The child really thought about it all!

"Is that you, Mommy?" By the time Higashikata Josuke walked to the car, Xu Lun Kujo had been jumping around for a while. She stretched out her hands and tried to get in close contact with the big crow, "JOJO I miss you so much. ! "

Oh, my little Xu Lun.

Angelica's heart felt soft, and she stretched out her hand to pinch her lovely daughter's chubby cheeks: It's only been a day.

She had clearly asked Jotaro Kujo to convey the news that her bad mother was going on a business trip at short notice.

"That..." Higashikata Jousuke hesitated, but in the end the curiosity and impulse in his heart overcame his determination for science, "That... little boy Xu Lun..."

"Huh?"

Xu Lun held his face happily. Lun looked up and his eyes were blinking so cutely.

"Um...your mommy...is a crow?"

"How is it possible-?!" Kujo Xu Lun looked at an idiot, "Crows and humans are completely different species, okay?"

Wow!

awesome!

Although he is only a first grader, he still uses the term "species"! Awesome! He is indeed the child of Jotaro Kujo!

Higashikata Jousuke stretched his neck and approached the crow, trying to see something unreasonable in it: Do you still want to see this thing? ! Just looking at body shape is already an unscientific area!

[Stare——]

[Click——]

[Boom——]

The giant crow was fearless and looked at Higashikata Josuke expressionlessly for two seconds. The originally obedient black feathers suddenly started to move because of the car he was standing on. Trembling slightly.

"Hey, hey, hey—?"

Higashikata Jousuke quickly grabbed Xu Lun Kujo's little hand that was trying to grab the air, and at the same time turned to shout at Jotaro Kujo in the store: "Mr. Jotaro—! Your UFO Driven away by a crow! !" " It

's my mommy's UFO!" "I told you..."



Kujo Jotaro's wife and Kujo Xuren's mother turned into a crow and drove away the UFO? !

The UFO flew away, Higashikata Josuke thought in a daze as he was forced to take a big breath of exhaust fumes.

"Wait!"

Before Higashikata Jousuke could turn around, Kujo Xu Lun pulled his palm: "The crow has captured Chuuya!!!"

Ha -?

Higashikata Jousuke blinked twice dullly, and then looked seriously at the car that had disappeared until only a black dot remained: Is there one?

no?

He turned his head and looked inside the restaurant. Mr. Jotaro Kujo, who had been as still as a clock, was now facing the door and nodded solemnly at him.

! ! !

No...Kujo Jotaro's wife, Kujo Xuren's mother, that mysterious crow lady! ! !

You caught the wrong child! ! !

.

In fact, there was no mistake.

However, the person who carried out the "capture" action was not Angelica, nor was it the innocent giant crow - the crow just looked malicious, and it was temporarily insensitive to creatures like children.

"Hahaha - it's so small -!!!"

"It's just like a short mushroom - hahahahaha - hahahahaha!!!"

The originally quiet UFO , the bandage ghost’s extremely arrogant laughter resounded.

Ah.

With such an accurate "capture", even Angelica, who doesn't know much about ghosts, knows: Bandage Ghost definitely has no amnesia!

"Now, can you tell me your name?"

Looking at the rearview mirror, Angelica's face was extremely cold.

"Hahaha - quack -?" The bandage ghost looked like a poor duck whose neck was suddenly pinched, and let out a particularly unpleasant cry, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"I just think this The little ghost looks familiar—it’s just interesting—"

As a ghost, the Bandage Ghost itself cannot come into contact with any objects or creatures in the real world.

However, when he just "pounced on food", there was no hindrance. He actually grabbed Nakahara Chuuya's small shoulders, lifted him up on the spot, and sneakily followed Angelica away - just because, He had made a deal with the crows.

Who knows when.

Angelica looked at the road conditions dejectedly. The crow on the roof of the car took a few steps above as if feeling guilty.

"Let's talk about the criminal~"

The bandaged ghost smiled and poked Nakahara Chuuya's cheek: Why don't you cry? This guy? It shouldn't be... I think even a fool should be scared to tears when he suddenly encounters such a terrible "kidnapping"... Why doesn't this guy cry?

Really don’t cry——? ?

[Poke——]

[Poke——]

[Poke——]

No matter how crazy he pokes - left poke, right poke, top poke, bottom poke... bend over and poke, twist around and poke, He squatted down and poked, stood up and poked... He poked and poked Nakahara Chuuya's little face as if it were a stress relief toy, but the child still had no expression on his face.

Encountered a perverted ghost.

The seven-year-old Nakahara Chuuya has already learned from Haibara Ai to be calm in every situation, from Kujo Xuren to have a strong heart, and from Kujo Jotaro - the first important thing for a strong person, time. Make sure you keep an expressionless face at all times!

In fact, Bandage Ghost did not lie when it came to his memory: he had no clear memories of his life, including his own name, which was also blurred.

But!

As if destined, when he saw Nakahara Chuuya's silly look, he immediately felt endless excitement and impulse - so, while Angelica was not paying attention, he caught this little mushroom after paying the price. in hand.

"How are you going to deal with him?"

How to deal with...?

Angelica's attention temporarily returned to Katagiri Anjuro: How else to deal with him? Wouldn't it be enough to find a way to force out his double, grab it, and stuff it into a glass bottle?

"I'm afraid it won't work just to capture his ability, right?"

The bandage ghost seemed to know Angelica's plan clearly: "He is an extremely vicious criminal."

He poked Nakahara Chuuya to one side, with a look on his face. His expression was extremely decent:

"His existence will always be a terrifying threat to the world."
