Chapter 68 Sheep

"Little Hinata is very brave. Even if she is retaliated against, she is not afraid and still calmly calls for professionals." Hagiwara Kenji praised again.

He smiled and blinked, and said in an exaggerated tone: "Not only is he brave, but he is also handsome."

Regarding this special tone of praising a child, Hinata could only respond dryly, "Uh, thank you."

"What a cold response." Hagihara Kenji pretended to be sad, but quickly cheered up.

He said quite seriously: "It is a good thing for children to be strong, but they cannot resist forcefully."

"If you have anything to say or ask, you can ask me immediately, such as why I am the only police officer here now, or why the crowd was evacuated first... these questions are all fine."

It is enough for one bomb disposal professional to be present at the scene. Is it possible to gather seven of them, hold a seminar on site, and then fail and die all at once?

When there is a bomb, isn't it the first thing to evacuate the people?

Hinata has nothing to ask.

Kenji Hagihara added: "Even if it's a question like 'Why am I always the one who gets hurt?', you can still ask."

Hinata Riki really doesn't know this.

The second Mr. Bomber could be said to be avenging his companions, but the first Mr. Bomber... Until now, Hinata still felt that the other person's reasons were nonsense.

So, he repeated, "Why, could it be me?"

Hagiwara Kenji showed a big smile and replied in a determined tone: "Because you are so outstanding."

Hyuga Reasonable: "......?"

He spat out a syllable blankly, "Ah?"

"You may not be aware of the fact that 'you are an excellent person,' but that is the fact." Hagihara Kenji continued, "Whether it is family background, grades, appearance, or popularity, you are great."

"But, there are still many people in this world who are not living well."

When talking about this, Hagiwara Kenji was embarrassed for a while before he came up with an example, "If you were in school and you met a pitiful wild cat and it was stuck in a clip, what would you do?"

It doesn't matter.

You can just pass by as if it's nothing, or you can help the other person casually, or you can even help the other person end their pain.

Hinata thought for a while and did not say the answer.

This kind of answer always feels inconsistent with normal human concepts. If you say it out loud, there is a high probability that you will be targeted by a brave dog, right?

It's like being targeted by a poodle police dog.

Who knows, Hagiwara Kenji paused and said to himself: "Some people will just ignore it and go to school as usual, and some people will pity the cat and choose to help."

"Some people feel that even if they save a wild cat and survive outside with that kind of injury, they won't be able to survive at all. They might as well just let the cat die without pain."

"Other people will take wild cats home."

Kenji Hagihara said seriously: "Everyone has different ideas, and different family backgrounds will develop different habits, but these reactions are all normal."

"And there are still some people who choose to remove the clamps and take wild cats home, not because they want to save them, but because they want to torture them and listen to the animals' wails."

Hinata blinked reasonably.

"Little Hinata, in the eyes of such people, is like a beautiful cat. They will think, 'Why are you living so well?', and then take revenge on you." Hagihara Kenji stretched out his hand and made a smooth gesture.

action, patting Hinata's reasonable back.

"This view is that you have done nothing wrong and it has nothing to do with you. It's just that the other party is too extreme."

Hinata understood reasonably, and Hagihara Kenji was still trying to comfort the hostages.

What the other party meant was: 'When you were targeted by a bomber, it wasn't because you did something wrong, such as looking at someone else, it was simply because that person was too low.'

There is also a subtext, 'Even if you don't look at him, he will have various other reasons to blame you for his evil deeds'.

Think about it this way, indeed.

At that time, he just glanced at the bomber and was targeted. If he hadn't looked, there might have been other reasons.

Sure enough, it has nothing to do with him!

He said sincerely: "That's it. Thank you, Officer Hagiwara."

Hagiwara Kenji breathed a sigh of relief and said thoughtfully: "By the way, did he come directly to your house to find you?"

Hinata adapted it reasonably and appropriately, telling him everything from seeing a suspicious person downstairs last night to being kidnapped by knocking on the door.

Then he looked at Hagiwara Kenji who was thoughtful, and added just in case: "That door can't stop an adult man, so I opened the door directly."

If the opponent has a gun, just shoot a few shots at the door lock to quickly open the door. Even if there is no gun, just kick a few times and the door can be kicked open.

That's why Hinata accepted the mission so easily and went out directly.

"Having even considered this point, Hinata-chan is really great." Hagiwara Kenji continued to praise.

He smiled again and said: "So, little Hinata is scared now?"

"I'm a little scared right now and I really want a hug. How about you comfort me?"

Hyuga Reasonable: "."

It's still the tone of teasing a child.

He firmly refused, "No, I'm not afraid."

"Hey, that little Hinata is very brave!" Hagiwara Kenji continued to praise.

The tone of teasing a child was too obvious, so Hinata sighed reasonably.

He really didn't care about the bombs on his body, but not because he was brave, but because he was used to it.

Every living object has a basic desire and instinct to survive, whether it is an animal or a human being.

——Unless you have 'died' many times.

Hinata has a vaccine on his body, and his ability to heal quickly is really outstanding. Even if he loses a few limbs by a bomb, he can successfully recover alive and well in less than a day.

The zombie wave also requires large-scale cleanup weapons.

Initially affected by the aftermath of the bomb, Hinata took a reasonable three days to recover from the phantom pain. Later, she was able to skillfully adjust her posture to bear the damage and endured it silently.

Just like playing a game, health and physical status become a simple, measurable thing, no different from compressed cookies and weapons, they are all useful things.

In that case, it is normal to pay attention to 'injury', 'food' and 'weapons', but it is a bit difficult to pay attention to wounds and the like like ordinary people.

Hagiwara Kenji sighed again, "Hinata-chan is so cold."

He glanced at his cell phone, stood up, looked out from the window high in the stairwell, and then frowned.

"There are drones outside, and there are some media downstairs..." Hagiwara Kenji said. He turned his head, glanced at Hinata, and swallowed the rest of his words.

Hinata still maintained her previous position, with her left arm on the steps to support her leaning body.

He lowered his eyes slightly, not looking at Hagiwara Kenji, but looking at a little bit in the air. There was no expression on his face, still a cold world-weary face.

People are different. Hagiwara Kenji once again realized why the other person was so popular in school despite being so unsociable.

Tokyo is a very weird place. Generally speaking, anyone who does not fit in with the crowd will be tacitly rejected by everyone and laughed at behind their backs.

But Hinata is too reasonable...

His appearance is already on the edge, on the edge of the human boundary, with seemingly no way to break through.

With such an appearance, being overly cold would not be a weird thing. According to the words of the kids at the other school, they were like, ‘Hey, Hinata-san is so good-looking, so wouldn’t it be normal to be a little colder?!’.

There are voice-activated lights in the stairwell, but they are not turned on, so there is only natural cold ambient light around.

Inexplicably, Hagiwara Kenji had a subtle feeling.

That feeling was very strange, as if he was a little strange as to why Matsuda Jinpei was suddenly interested in Hinata.

He is now equally interested in Hinata.

Because, sometimes, the other person has a unique temperament, the kind of eyes that stand apart from the crowd and look at all human beings coldly.

Hinata with such eyes does not look like a human being, but a high-ranking, yet indifferent god who scrutinizes every believer.

Just like just now, Hagiwara Kenji was trying to appease Hinata and think about how to save him.

Now, Hagiwara Kenji subtly feels that he is not trying to appease Hinata Reason, but trying to appease himself. He is not thinking about how to save Hinata Reason, but thinking about how to save himself.

This feeling is very subtle, especially in this place and at this time.

He can only attribute it to the 'illusion of human external senses'.

"Due to the light or any other reason, he arbitrarily applied a human-like filter to Hinata, who was just a little colder, and this filter created a subtle illusion."
