Chapter 6: Your Delivery Has Arrived~
Qimian Waterfall.
A car stopped in front of the Cabin.
In the Loft of the Cabin's ceiling, Numabuchi Kiichiro's left hand was cuffed to a pillar. He leaned against the wall, showing no reaction to the sound of the car.
After a moment, rustling sounds came from below.
Immediately after, the wooden block of the Loft ceiling was opened, a bundle of rope was thrown up, and then a figure nimbly climbed into the Loft.
After Chi Feichi's eyes adjusted to the dim light, he stood up with the rope in hand. Using the light coming through the window cracks, he saw Numabuchi Kiichiro leaning against the wall, "Found him."
Numabuchi Kiichiro looked up, his gaunt face expressionless. His constricted pupils reflected the man in black clothes and a deeply pressed-down baseball cap in front of him. From his angle, he could see the pair of light purple eyes under the brim of the hat, looking down at him indifferently...
Found... He was found... They, it must be them who came! The hunger in his stomach suddenly disappeared. He felt it, he felt it... His body, which had been weak from hunger, was filled with power once again.
Numabuchi Kiichiro's hands trembled slightly. He lowered his head, his expression gradually becoming ferocious. He suddenly stood up and lunged at Chi Feichi, "Die!"
Chi Feichi didn't move, calmly watching the figure lunging towards him, that skull-like face, that fierce yet faintly terrified expression... and also watching Numabuchi Kiichiro, because his left hand was cuffed, being pulled and falling to the ground as soon as he lunged.
Hmm... Keeping distance earlier was indeed the right choice. Don't let Numabuchi Kiichiro's near-starved appearance fool you. Just listening to the heavy sound of him falling, you could tell how astonishing his burst of power was just now.
Although he had been systematically exercising whenever he was in control of his body for over a month since transmigrating, the time was still too short. Even if this body's foundation and potential were not bad, and coupled with his efficient training plan, he still wasn't confident in directly confronting a burst-type monster like Numabuchi Kiichiro right now.
"Ah—!" After falling, Numabuchi Kiichiro struggled and roared as he got up, continuing to lunge, continuing to fall, continuing to lunge, continuing to fall...
"Don't even think about harming me! I'll kill you!" "Get lost!" "Kill you! Kill you!"
Seeing that Numabuchi Kiichiro had clearly entered a frenzied state, Chi Feichi lowered his head and glanced at his clothes, remaining silent. Is there something wrong with wearing black clothes? Black is restrained, steady, and easy to match. He had worn black clothes for several years in his previous life, and his male friends around him also liked wearing black clothes... So what's wrong with wearing black clothes! Just because members of a certain Organization wear black clothes, others aren't allowed to wear them? As for his cold face... Can't he just be used to it?
After repeatedly making a fuss for three minutes, Numabuchi Kiichiro fell again and didn't get up, panting heavily as he lay on the ground.
Chi Feichi spoke, "Stop torturing yourself, I'll send you to Prison. Prison is safe."
"Prison..." Numabuchi Kiichiro murmured. Chi Feichi stood still, not moving forward. As expected, Numabuchi Kiichiro caught his breath, and jumped up again to continue his lunge-and-fall combo.
"Impossible!" "You wouldn't be so kind as to send me to Prison!" "You never intended to let me go, right?!"
A minute later, Numabuchi Kiichiro collapsed to the ground again, exhausted.
"Almost there." Only then did Chi Feichi take out an iron needle from his pocket, walk forward, squat down, put the rope aside, and fiddle with the handcuffs cuffing Numabuchi Kiichiro's left hand.
In his previous life, he had practiced martial arts for over ten years after all. He still had the ability to discern whether a person was exhausted and to what extent.
Numabuchi Kiichiro stared intently at Chi Feichi, panting heavily. After the handcuff on his left hand was opened, he suddenly jumped up and lunged again.
Almost at the same time, Chi Feichi also grabbed the rope and stood up. He sidestepped, dodged, and then stuck out his foot to trip him. As Numabuchi Kiichiro leaned forward and crashed to the ground, he also seized the opportunity to grab Numabuchi Kiichiro's wrist and press him down to the ground with his hands behind his back.
This time, Numabuchi Kiichiro didn't struggle anymore, letting Chi Feichi tie him up with the rope and take him down. Of course, he didn't have the strength to struggle anymore either.
Chi Feichi tossed the man into the passenger seat, tied him up again with the seatbelt, took out his Mobile Phone to take a photo, and sent an Email to the Email Address provided in the Bounty Mission information:
[Numabuchi Kiichiro arrested successfully, location: Osaka - July]
[Send to Police Headquarters nearby, Bounty will be paid after verification]
[OK]
In the car, Numabuchi Kiichiro stared at the Box placed on the dashboard.
Chi Feichi put away his Mobile Phone, picked up the Box, opened it, and handed it to Numabuchi Kiichiro's hands, which were tied in front of him. Numabuchi Kiichiro, with his hands tied in front, steadily caught the Box, glanced at the Gloves on Chi Feichi's hands, seemingly only then realizing that Chi Feichi had been wearing Gloves all along, but he didn't ask, silently burying his head and eating voraciously.
Chi Feichi walked around to the driver's seat and got into the car. He didn't dare to untie the rope, he could only let this guy eat like this. However, he was a little worried that Numabuchi Kiichiro might choke to death from eating so frantically, so he didn't rush to drive. He waited for Numabuchi Kiichiro to finish eating the Takoyaki in the Box, took the Box, and handed him Paper.
Numabuchi Kiichiro silently wiped his mouth. Chi Feichi took the Paper, opened a bottle of Mineral Water, and handed it over. Numabuchi Kiichiro drank it down again in a frenzy.
Chi Feichi waited for Numabuchi Kiichiro to drink enough before starting the car, "As a reward for treating you to a meal, when the Police ask about my Appearance Information later, could you keep it secret?"
Numabuchi Kiichiro held the Mineral Water bottle in both hands, his face blank, silent.
Chi Feichi didn't expect Numabuchi Kiichiro to agree either, and drove away from Mount Qimian. He didn't want his identity to be found out so quickly because he was worried about being deprived of the Right to Bounty Hunting due to his Psychiatric History. But as long as he showed enough ability, making the other party feel that the 'small problem' was acceptable compared to his assistance with their work would be enough.
Although Bounty Hunting was a free individual action, even if the other party didn't allow him, he could still do it himself, but the Official was the biggest Patron after all...
...Afternoon, 2:36 PM. Osaka Prefectural Police Department Headquarters, the operator received a strange Phone Call.
On the other end of the Phone Call, a low and hoarse male voice said, "Hello, your Home Delivery has arrived at the Police Department Entrance, please come out to receive it."
"What?" The operator was dumbfounded. But the other party had already hung up the Phone Call.
"What's wrong?"
"Received a strange Phone Call, saying my Home Delivery has arrived at the Police Department Entrance..."
"Did you order Home Delivery to the Police Department?"
"No, I didn't order anything... And I answered the emergency line, not my personal Mobile Phone call!"
"It can't be a wrong number, right? And the other party said Police Department Entrance..."
"Anyway, let's go out and take a look!"
A colleague accompanied the operator downstairs, and immediately noticed a large Cardboard Box, half a person's height, placed at the Foot of a Tree by the Roadside outside the Building. The reason it was noticed at a glance was because there was a piece of Paper stuck on the Cardboard Box, with large printed words: [Live Delivery, Handle with care, Do not open violently]
On the road not far away, Chi Feichi sat quietly in the car and watched. Seeing Police come out to receive the 'Delivery', he felt satisfied. It was good that it wasn't treated as a prank call, otherwise he would have had to make another Phone Call in a few minutes.
However, there was still a slight hiccup... Two Police officers looked at the large Box, and tacitly didn't open the Box rashly, calling for bomb disposal team members. After a group of Police officers carefully opened the Box, they saw Numabuchi Kiichiro, with a blank face, tied up like a zongzi, sitting in the Box.
There was also a piece of printed Paper stuck on Numabuchi Kiichiro's body: [Me, Wanted Criminal, Numabuchi Kiichiro]
A group of Police officers were silent for a moment, then immediately busied themselves getting Numabuchi Kiichiro out and taking him back.
Watching Numabuchi Kiichiro enter the Police Department gate, Chi Feichi then withdrew his gaze and started the car to leave. Fortunately, Numabuchi Kiichiro and that group of Police officers were quite smart, and didn't create any 'escape again' Plot.
Delivery... No, twenty minutes after Numabuchi Kiichiro was delivered, the Transfer from the other party was also completed. 3.5 million Japanese Yen. Converted to about 220,000 Chinese Yuan. In his previous life, the highest Upper Limit for Wanted Bounty in China was 100,000 yuan, which was a reward for providing Information that led to the arrest of a Wanted Criminal, there was no Bounty. Considering Numabuchi Kiichiro's level of danger, the price was considered fair, and in terms of income for various professions in Japan, it was roughly the annual income of an average office worker.
Chi Feichi first went to return the car. After paying the 5,000 yen Car Rental Fee, the Boss saw him off with a smile. A fat Tabby in the Shop lazily meowed, immediately causing the Boss to turn around and smile as he stroked its head.
Chi Feichi glanced at it, "Do you usually feed your Cat Dried Small Fish?"
"Ah?" The Boss was surprised, "How did you see that?"
"I studied Veterinary Medicine. Looking at this Cat's Fur Quality, which is very well-maintained, I guessed if it was because you feed it a moderate amount of Dried Small Fish every day." Chi Feichi brushed it off, chatted with the Boss for a couple of sentences, used the excuse of having something else to do to end the conversation, and turned to leave.
He was indeed a Student in the Department of Veterinary Medicine at Todai University, and his Student Status was still retained after being hospitalized. However, saying he could tell from the Fur Quality was complete nonsense. The fat Tabby earlier seemed to be acting cute, but what it was actually saying was probably— 'Stingy fish-lipped fatty, you earn so much every day but don't buy me Live Fish, Dried Small Fish every day, Dried Small Fish every day...! '
Right... Auditory Hallucination appeared again. However, based on more than a month of confirmation, Chi Feichi could be certain that this was not Auditory Hallucination. The words spoken by these Animals and Plants were all facts. For example, the Big Tree in the Hospital courtyard, the History of Development of the Hospital it spoke of, a certain Doctor's Personality, someone's Secret, he had secretly verified them, and they were all true.
It was also during the verification that Zhi Ming Fukuyama discovered it and talked to him about it. He initially tried to solve the Problem through Communication, but Zhi Ming Fukuyama's Judgment was—Delusion, Auditory Hallucination. He clearly didn't understand this Hospital at all before this, so why could he Delusion things he shouldn't know? In response, Zhi Ming Fukuyama's explanation was—'Actually, these are all Things you subconsciously know or observed, but in the Normal State, you don't remember or haven't realized it. During Auditory Hallucination, your Subconscious reflects what you perceive...' Blah blah blah... In summary, it's—Superpower is impossible, it's not Animals and Plants talking, but your Delusion! You are quite Ill, I must make you realize and accept this!
