He clearly remembered that before, Tsubozaki Chuta valued the bag itself more than the contents, but now, it seemed that was no longer the case.
"Did you find it?"
Lu Chen finally broke his silence, looked at Tsubozaki Chuta, and asked with a light laugh.
"You...you knew all along?"
Tsubozaki Chuta's face was pale. Lu Chen nodded slightly, raised his hand, and held a Gaia Memory in his hand. However, it was somewhat different from those circulating in Fuuto; this was the old version.
Do not!
Shotaro immediately realized something.
He suddenly looked at Tsubozaki Chuta and said, "You brought the Gaia Memory from outside Fuuto to Fuuto?"
Outside of Fuuto lies the Gaia Memory, developed by the X Foundation, and the X Foundation's version of the Gaia Memory is strictly forbidden within Fuuto.
"No...don't talk nonsense..."
Tsubozaki Chuta hesitated for a moment, sweat dripping from his forehead onto the ground, then suddenly looked up at Shotaro Hidari, his eyes darting away.
"This isn't mine!" Tsubozaki Chuta seemed to remember something and denied it.
Lu Chen smiled slightly, pressed the switch on the memory chip in his hand, and the connection port instantly appeared on Tsubozaki Chuta's wrist.
【Ttool!】
(Poisonous mushrooms!)
Gaia memory for poisonous mushrooms.
"The memory chips produced by the museum, regardless of their level or type, can be used without the need for connection surgery."
"The only ones that need surgery right now are the memories from outside Fuuto, so there's no point in making excuses. Also... Philip!"
As Lu Chen spoke, a green figure emerged from the corner. Shi Mo and the others all looked over. Shi Mo was curious, Tsubozaki Chuta was worried, and Shotaro was surprised.
"Philip?"
That's right!
The person who appeared was his partner.
“Shotaro, I don’t mean to hurt your pride and determination, but I think you’ll definitely need my help with this kind of case.”
"We are detectives working together as one."
"Besides, it was the king who sent me."
Philip glanced at Lu Chen, then opened a book in his hand.
“Tsubozaki Chuta, I’ve investigated your background. Your family are farmers in Hokkaido. They don’t make much money, but they’re not so poor that they can’t make ends meet.” He took out a stack of photos from the book. Looking at the familiar photos, Tsubozaki Chuta hugged his arms in fear.
“You told us you just came to Fuuto to work, but you came here to travel with your friends two years ago, right?” Philip casually picked up a photo and threw it in front of Tsubozaki Chuta. “Back then you heard about the Gaia Memory in Fuuto. After that, when the memory also appeared outside Fuuto, I guess the person who privately sold the memory let you use it once.”
Philip closed the book and continued, "And you too have become fascinated by the magic of memory."
"Because you couldn't forget that feeling, you bought a Gaia Memory. You then learned that the memory outside of Fengdu was an outdated version, so you came to Fengdu. But since the memory from outside couldn't exist in Fengdu, you couldn't bear to discard it. So you carefully hid the memory in a compartment of your bag, but unexpectedly, Miss Shimo snatched the bag away."
Philip slowly walked up to Shotaro and Chuta Tsubosaki. "Although you want to find that bag, the memory chip inside makes it inconvenient to report it to the police directly."
Chapter 109 Shi Mo: The memory is so hot! I'll teach it a lesson!
"So you found the Narumi Detective Agency, an agency famous for investigating memory cases. At this time, in order to explain why you didn't call the police, you made up the reason that you were obsessed with a witch. Coincidentally, this reason actually worked. Because Shotaro met Ms. Shimo first, he had this idea in his mind: if it was that woman, it was indeed very possible."
Zuo Xiangtaro's lips twitched; he was somewhat afraid to look at Lu Chen and Shi Mo, as his act of secretly watching their meeting had been exposed...
Although it wasn't intentional on his part.
Chuta Tsubozaki, whose dignity had been stripped away by Philip, was even more afraid to face the crowd.
"No...no, this is..."
Chuta Tsubozaki lowered his head guiltily and quickly rolled up his sleeves to cover his wrists. He hadn't expected to be exposed and was momentarily speechless. He suddenly turned around and ran towards the door, but tripped and fell to the ground due to his nervousness.
He lay sprawled on the ground, clenching his fists, at the foot of the stairs.
Instead of giving chase, Shotaro said in a low voice, "It seems this really is his memory. I was actually deceived..."
"Damn it!!!"
Holding external memory is a serious matter, but it's not a trivial one either.
As long as the memory isn't used for malicious purposes, it's not a big problem. Anyway, the memory is now in Lu Chen's hands, so it doesn't matter what happens to Tsubozaki Chuta. Therefore, there's no need to chase after him.
However, just as Shotaro Sato was breathing a sigh of relief, thinking he had finally completed the task,
"what--!!!"
Shotaro's expression changed.
"It's Chuta's voice!"
The next moment, he quickly turned around and chased after them.
Shi Mo sensed something and her expression changed. She looked at Lu Chen and exclaimed, "He's here!"
Philip clearly saw that Shi Mo was holding a Gaia Memory in his hand.
However, "863".....

This memory chip is not only a top-tier memory chip, but it is also damaged.
Before he could think any further, Philip saw Lu Chen and Shi Mo heading in the direction that Zuo Xiangtaro had gone, so he immediately followed.
......
"Which road is this?"
Looking at the road that was gradually becoming unfamiliar, Shotaro felt a little flustered.
"Why don't I have any impression of it?"
Fortunately, Tsubozaki Chuta was right in front of him, panting heavily as he looked around.
Obviously he realized something.
His face was filled with terror, and a newly formed scar was visible on his arm.
It looks like a burn from something very hot.
"Chūta, what attacked you?"
Shotaro Sato rushed to Tsubozaki Chuta's side and asked, but the latter shook his head and said, "I didn't see anyone, I was just suddenly attacked."
"It hurts!"
"And, detective, don't you think something's a little strange here?" Tsubozaki Chuta approached Higasho Shotaro and asked nervously.
"The wind has disappeared. This place... this is not the Wind City I know."
Looking at the unfamiliar high-rise buildings around him, Shotaro's expression turned serious. He held out his hand to block Tsubozaki Chuta's path and said earnestly:
"Chūta, you must stay by my side."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a beam of light struck!
"careful!"
Shotaro quickly pushed Tsubozaki Chuta aside, but cut his own hand in the process. "Is this the kind of trick you use to hurt people?"
"Detective!" Tsubozaki Chuta looked at Hijiri Shotaro with concern, but Hijiri Shotaro didn't seem to care about the wound. "Tsubozaki Chuta, it's time to run. Run as fast as you can..."
The master of light did not give up and launched another attack on the two of them with the light he sensed.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shotaro Hidari ran ahead, and Chuta Tsubozaki quickly followed.
But the two of them were completely unfamiliar with the place.
He could only run aimlessly, while the attacks from behind never stopped.
It was clear that Tsubozaki Chuta was about to run out of energy.
Shotaro took a deep breath, stopped in his tracks, and shouted, "I'm here, come at me!"
However......
They really came for him.
and!
