Su Tang was not surprised that Makima knew his name.
After all, when he called earlier, he had merely used another number stored in his phone.
With Public Safety’s resources, finding out who he was would be easy enough.
After asking what Devil he had contracted with, Makima kept her chin propped on one hand and quietly studied Su Tang.
“Hmm, about that…”
Su Tang thought for a moment.
He suddenly remembered that during the fight with the Zombie Devil, he seemed to have heard the same question.
Back then, had the Zombie Devil mentioned “shadows, fire, and ninjas”?
Got it!
Su Tang’s eyes lit up.
He coughed lightly, then opened his mouth and said, “The one I contracted with is the Fire Shadow Ninja!”
Fire Shadow Ninja?
Hearing that name, Makima tilted her head and looked at Su Tang.
That uncomfortable feeling once again spread through Su Tang’s heart.
This woman… her pressure is seriously intense.
Washing his eyes with fire-energy once more, Su Tang sighed inwardly.
As expected of the boss of the cops.
“Mm…”
Makima nodded lightly.
Su Tang could not tell whether she believed him or not.
But if her intelligence was normal, she probably did not believe it.
After all, even he himself did not believe it.
Giving that answer was merely a way of implying that he did not want to answer.
At present, Miss Makima’s IQ and EQ both seemed very much online.
Sure enough, she did not continue pressing him on that question.
Instead, she lowered her head, looked at Su Tang with interest, and asked softly, “Mr.
Su Tang, you’re quite energetic.
Aren’t you cold dressed like that?”
With her reminder, Su Tang immediately remembered that his upper body was currently bare.
Cold?
Of course he was not cold.
If a contractor of the Fire Devil could still freeze in this temperature, then Shendu might as well give up and restart his life.
But feeling unused to it was another matter.
His mental state was very healthy.
He did not have issues like exhibitionism.
So he wondered whether he should just strip a relatively intact piece of clothing from one of the corpses on the ground.
But from the look of it, that would not be necessary.
Because Makima had already reached out and taken off her trench coat.
“Here.”
Looking at the coat she handed over, still carrying the warmth of Makima’s body, Su Tang hesitated for a full 0.03 seconds.
Then he quickly took it, grabbed both ends of the collar with his hands, swept it backward, and draped it directly over himself.
Makima watched as Su Tang stretched out his arms and slipped them into the sleeves of the trench coat.
Suddenly, she said, “Mr.
Su Tang… are you very close with this girl?”
“Hmm?
You mean Denjiko?”
By then, Su Tang had already put on the whole coat and was buttoning it up one button at a time.
Hearing the question, he answered, “Close… uh, I suppose we get along fairly well.
To be honest, this girl has some psychological issues.
She may have projected some of her inner pursuit of beautiful things onto me.
You know how it is.
That’s common in children whose childhoods weren’t pleasant.”
“Mm.”
Makima nodded, seeming to agree with that statement.
“I remember Aki mentioned in his report that you are a doctor, correct?”
“Ahaha, I only know a tiny bit of insignificant medicine.”
Su Tang smiled and waved his hand modestly.
Still, Makima’s trench coat fit him surprisingly well.
Not too big, not too small.
It was warm too.
“Hmm… In that case, would you like to come back to Public Safety with me and obtain a medical license?”
“No need—eh?
Eh?”
Su Tang had just reacted and was about to say something when Makima interrupted him.
She raised her index finger to the center of her lips and gently went “shh,” then said, “Mr.
Su Tang, you still haven’t received the fake license you were trading for with the gang, have you?
Although I highly recognize your abilities, not having a license will always be troublesome.
Public Safety can help you complete an internal assessment.
It should only take a day or two.
Also…”
Makima looked at Su Tang and smiled.
“Have you forgotten?
During the day, we also said we should meet when we had time.
This…
Su Tang scratched his head.
She had even prepared the reasons for him, and they were all reasons he did not want to refuse.
It seemed this trip to Public Safety was unavoidable.
Fine, then.
It was not some dragon’s den or tiger’s lair.
It was merely a member of an internationally famous criminal organization going alone into the cops’ nest.
After nodding to show his agreement, Su Tang looked at Denjiko, who was sleeping soundly on the ground, and asked, “Then what about her?”
“As for her…”
Makima drew out the last word for a second or two, seemingly hesitant.
“For your sake, Su Tang, I will consider adding her to Public Safety.
That way, with an official identity, she won’t be attacked by other Devil Hunters outside.”
“All right.
I’ll talk to her when she wakes up and ask what she thinks.”
Su Tang nodded.
Although he rather liked Makima’s suggestion, Denjiko did not belong to him.
As a person with her own consciousness, Denjiko had the right to decide her own future.
So he did not agree on her behalf.
“Then let’s go.”
Makima turned to leave.
“Eh?
You’re not handling the corpses here?”
Su Tang pointed at the clumps of flesh and blood on the ground.
“I feel like the Zombie Devil shouldn’t have been that strong.
Did it swallow a piece of the Gun Devil’s flesh?”
Of course, he knew the gang boss had obtained 0.06 kilograms of flesh.
“Mm.
Aki will bring people to clean it up during the day.”
Makima did not turn back.
She walked out of the factory step by step at an even pace.
How decisive.
Looking at her departing back, Su Tang shrugged, then crouched down and gently picked Denjiko up in his arms.
Then he followed Makima out.
“Ah… finally here.”
After getting out of the car and stretching, Su Tang looked at the majestic building before him, now bathed in the rising morning sun.
On the way there, he had been so exhausted from an entire day of work that he fell asleep as soon as he got in the car.
Of course, before sleeping, he had also summoned several shadow ninjas to hide inside the vehicle and keep watch.
One should not harbor the intent to harm others, but one should never lack the heart to guard against them either.
In the end, this was only his first time meeting Makima.
“How does it feel?”
Just as he was thinking about Makima, Makima arrived.
She stepped out of the car and came to Su Tang’s side, following his gaze with a smile.
“This is Tokyo’s Public Safety Headquarters.”
“Very impressive.”
Su Tang chose a relatively positive description.
It was indeed very impressive, though not the best.
After all, the Black Hand’s headquarters was an entire skyscraper.
“Oh, right.
What about Denjiko?
Is she awake?”
