SCIAW: Chapter 529/530

Chapter 529: The Third Reason Not to Act

"The organization has started to move."

Shiho also saw the two black cars in front of the Kudo residence.

"It seems the organization is confirming the status of everyone who used APTX, or perhaps they are looking for us."

"Looking for us in the homes of those who consumed it? We are not so foolish as to seek refuge with their families."

Akemi could not help but retort.

"Because they have no other choice."

Shiho directly hit the key point, then pointed at the two sisters.

"I was taken by you, Sister, from that stronghold, and it was not through normal means. It is precisely because of the extraordinary means that it looks very unreasonable to that organization, which is still somewhat normal."

"Now, both my sister and I have cognitive hindrance earrings created by Lord god."

"And the Fujiwara, a political family, helped us forge our identities. Sister, how do you think that organization will find us?"

The Fujiwara had always been a political family in Japan, with most of its members holding governing positions.

As a political family, it was simply too easy for them to create two brand new identities. Moreover, this creation would not be noticed by anyone.

One must know that the Fujiwara had been a prominent family since ancient times. If what the Fujiwara did could still be known by that organization, then the Fujiwara would be too incompetent.

Clearly, the Fujiwara were not incompetent at all, especially in Japan. In the realm of governance, the Fujiwara could be said to have half-covered the sky.

Even if the Fujiwara did not hold much power in the governing circles now, most of the people who held that power were related to the Fujiwara.

Clearly, a transnational assassin organization, unless they were researching immortality drugs, would not be able to act so wantonly in a country.

"Without any clues at all, if they want to find us, they need to look for people and things related to us."

"Because we disappeared through a third party."

"They must be having a headache now wondering where we ran off to."

Analyzing, Shiho could not help but laugh.

"Pfft, if they could find us, then I would truly admire them."

After laughing at the organization members who were like headless flies, Shiho could not help but sigh.

"However, the actions of that famous detective surprised me a little. It seems he learned some lessons. Just now, I thought that famous detective was going to rush forward recklessly again."

Having read Kudo Shinichi's files and understood his personality from TV and news, even Akemi momentarily thought that the detective was going to act impulsively again.

But this time was different.

"People grow up too. He was hit over the head by that person from behind, and then stabbed in the back by the child he was playing with yesterday. Even if he does not want to grow up, he cannot help it."

At this point, Akemi could truly empathize.

Once upon a time, she was as naive as that detective, thinking she could rescue her sister with her own strength.

The other party should have also grown a bit, at least not as naive as she was back then.

One sneak attack from behind, one stab in the back, was enough to become experience for growth.

Shaking her head, Akemi no longer focused her attention on that detective.

"Is your work here finished today?"

At this moment, Shiho was like a farming girl, with rubber boots on her feet, a blue, durable one-piece work suit on her body, rubber gloves on her hands, and a straw hat on her head. She was truly the most standard farming girl you could imagine.

"It is alright."

Shiho took off her rubber gloves and looked at her achievements for the day.

A large area outside the villa had already been cultivated into a field, and on top of the field were sheds she had built herself.

"The soil quality of this open space is actually quite good. With more fertilizer, it can become land suitable for cultivation."

"It is just that it is not suitable for planting expensive and fragile plants right now. I still need to use some plants with stronger vitality to adapt first."

"Soil modification still requires spirituality, but mixing some fertilizer with spirituality to create a fertilizer that can modify the soil is feasible, and it is also more convenient than simply modifying the soil."

After a day of effort, Shiho also got the hang of the basic matters needing attention for cultivation. However, compared to a farmer who needs to understand everything, she, as a Planter, undoubtedly found it easier to get started.

Her current abilities were relatively poor, but she could perceive the emotions of plants through spirituality, thereby determining which soil, which fertilizer, and which environment were more suitable for them. This was not something an ordinary farming girl could do.

Those who could reach this level were either truly talented or old farmers who had spent their entire lives researching in the fields.

And she could take a shortcut as soon as she started, which meant she had a natural advantage in this field.

Shiho also found joy in these clearer farming tasks.

Cultivation also had its joys.

Having leisure and free time, she could also enjoy the pleasure of farming and freely use the power of an extraordinary person. She felt like she was getting addicted.

"Speaking of which, Sister, what do you think Lord god is keeping that organization for?"

Shiho had a bit of a question about this.

"For Lord god, that organization must have some value to be allowed to exist. I think besides the reason for the diary, the Sefirot that our parents came into contact with is probably one of the reasons Lord god showed mercy."

Akemi felt that for Lord god, only the diary and the Sefirot were valuable. Otherwise, she truly did not think that organization had any other value.

That drug might be somewhat useful for ordinary people, but for them and Ren, was it valuable?

Ren had mentioned that the drug only had the function of extending life, and extending life was not immortality.

And they would inevitably possess the foundation of immortality in the future, so that drug would be completely useless.

"No, I also thought of another reason."

Shiho suddenly remembered another reason.

"What?"

Akemi was also a little curious.

"Of course, it is that Lord god wants to see what kind of commotion that organization can still stir up. Lord god does not have the intention to act proactively in some matters. According to his personality, this possibility is quite high."

Hearing the possibility her sister mentioned, Akemi could not refute it for a moment.

Because Ren truly had such a personality.

(To be continued.)

Chapter 530: I Want to Know

"The purpose of letting that organization go?"

When Ren heard this question, he answered almost without thinking.

"It is for the Key of Light now, isn't it?"

Indeed.

Both Miyano sisters showed a look of understanding. Clearly, they had guessed this reason.

"As one of the Sefirot, the Key of Light was never a power ordinary people could master. Of course, I am more curious about why the Key of Light appeared in this world."

"I should have told you before that I went to a world full of extraordinary people through the Sefirah Castle, and that extraordinary world was also a story to me."

"I cannot help but want to know what the relationship is between the Sefirot I possess and the Sefirot of that world."

Ren paused.

"Originally, my question about this was only out of curiosity, but when I speculated about a Sefirot appearing in this world, I became curious."

"Is there a connection between that world and this one?"

Is there?

The Miyano sisters could not help but feel a hint of curiosity.

But in the next second, Ren's strong curiosity receded, returning to his usual state.

"So, I thought about finding the Key of Light, and then thinking about this question during the process of searching."

"And also, to see what else that organization can do."

"At least for now, I can confirm that the Key of Light has not bestowed any power upon that organization."

This point was actually quite important.

If that organization had mastered the power of a Sefirot, the world would already have been engulfed in disaster.

After all, the power of the Fate pathway is quite dangerous, especially in terms of bad luck.

Of course, if you really wanted to say it, there actually was someone who fit the criteria.

Edogawa Conan's figure appeared in Ren's mind.

But he only met the criteria for the Fate pathway. He did not have any extraordinary characteristics, and the unlucky traits he possessed were not very strong.

If he really had extraordinary characteristics, he definitely would not have been unaware.

But Conan was just an ordinary person.

Moreover, if the Key of Light really wanted to find someone, would it not be better to look for the God of Steam and Machinery?

Perhaps that Sequence 0 could perfectly match the luck of the Key of Light.

"Judging from the drugs researched by that organization, your Miyano parents should have only researched the extraordinary ability of the Fate pathway's Sequence 1, Fate Reset."

"Purely from the perspective of drugs, your Miyano parents' scientific research ability is indeed outrageous. Two ordinary scientists could actually research the extraordinary ability of Sequence 1. And by researching that part of the extraordinary ability, they could also use drugs to force the human body into reincarnation."

"From this point of view, I think your Miyano parents were indeed unconventional."

A Sefirot is always intertwined with corruption and madness. Anyone who comes into contact with it will be affected to some extent.

In fact, judging by the way the Miyano couple died, Ren was certain they were greatly affected by the Sefirot.

The accidental death was very likely the end prepared by the Key of Light for the Miyano couple.

Shiho and Akemi unconsciously nodded.

The sisters had a rough understanding of the differences among extraordinary beings, and they also had some understanding of demigods, angels, and true gods.

They knew their parents were researching a substance that would allow gods to advance to a higher position.

Without the corresponding divine authority, a Sefirot is something that kills you if you even touch it.

Neither Shiho nor Akemi knew why their parents could research such a thing.

"Let us not talk about the Sefirot and your parents' matters for now. I cannot confirm this issue. After all, I do not know about it myself."

The matter of a Sefirot was not up to him.

It was just that, given the inexplicable fondness other Sefirot had for him, the reason the Key of Light appeared here was likely not to oppose him.

However, the specific reason would only be known after the Key of Light was found.

"Then, Lord god, what about that organization?"

"They came to find you."

Ren offered a guess directly, then took out a maple leaf gold coin and flicked it slightly.

Heads up.

"Hmm, the situation is as I guessed. They came to find you."

"The data left at that stronghold was intended to involve that organization and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. It was to let the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department know the organization's fundamental purpose, and the ultimate result was to allow that organization to survive for a longer time."

"Then, official organizations around the world will also know this information."

"So, Lord god, you did not think the Police could keep the secret from the beginning?"

Shiho suddenly noticed this crucial point.

"The Police are on the same level as the Police of France and England. They are sieves among sieves. Even if deep-level information is a secret, basic information is often no secret in the eyes of politicians."

"For their own purposes, it is perfectly feasible to leak some secrets."

"What is more, you would not really think that the high-ranking officials of the Police are so loyal to Japan, would you?"

The Miyano sisters exchanged glances, then both shook their heads helplessly.

Clearly, neither of them believed that high-ranking Police officials could keep such a long-held secret.

"The Police's current efforts are merely to maintain internal stability in Japan."

"Of course, even if that secret is exposed, it will not make all of Japan a target. After all, the key is not Japan, but that organization."

"It just means that the secret that originally belonged to Japan will inevitably have to be handed over."

"Of course, if that secret only existed with one person, I would not deny that high-ranking Police officials could indeed keep the secret."

Once a secret is known by multiple people, the secret of that drug will inevitably spread.

But if only one person holds the secret, then Ren does not deny that some people can indeed keep a secret.

As for whether it is permanent, that is another matter.
