Congratulations You Are Under Arrest!

In the shadows between the tall buildings,

When he lived in this city in his previous life, Higashinohara used to ride his bicycle through the alleys with twists and turns every morning at sunrise and evening at sunset.

But he didn't expect that after an unknown number of long years, he would have the opportunity to return to this riverside city and regain the time of running in the alleys in those years.

Suddenly, behind him, an extremely fast, cannonball-like monster suddenly accelerated, flew towards the place where Higashinohara was located, and screamed in the throat like a night owl.

He hit and hit the air, and there was only a shadow left where Higashinohara had been for a second.

The strange demon looked around in a daze, and seemed to notice something. He raised his head slightly, and a long black lacquer sword on top of his head drove straight from his nose bone into his throat.

scoff-!

In the screeching sound of the blade rubbing against the bones, Higashinohara, who fell from the sky with the slashing sword in his hand, instantly stabbed the rotten and rotten face of the alien demon.

He kicked his sword with his backhand, and the corpse-like body of the alien staggered and fell to the ground.

"Hey hey hey! Run!"

In front of the dark alley, Shinichi Nimura, a human being hired by the investigation team, suddenly noticed that there were no footsteps behind him, and hurriedly shouted to Higashinohara.

It wasn't that the two temporarily formed a "teammate relationship" after Grey Maine ordered everyone to evacuate. It was really too scary to be alone in the darkness where you can't see your fingers.

In particular, Shinichi Shinmura discovered that this little brother named "Nishinomiyai", who had gathered with him inadvertently to evacuate, had an unparalleled "sense of direction" and "insight" even in the dark, and even more so. The virtues of "gut-friendly".

When they were evacuating in the dark alley before, several times when they encountered a sudden block from a strange monster with strange abilities, he had just shot halfway, and the "gut-hot" little brother beside him solved his opponent. Immediately came back to help him with the power of a knife.

So that after this short distance, Shinmura Shin and the gentle-looking little brother beside him felt a sense of dependence that he didn't realize, so he stopped and shouted at this time. Evacuate with Higashinohara.

But Higashinohara did not move.

Not only was he in such a hurry, he suddenly turned around, squinted his eyes and cast his eyes on the strange demons behind his alley-most of these strange demons are in an unconscious state, in other words, they are a pair of pure personal spiritual will tools. A humanoid "carrier" with a special ability.

Higashinohara couldn't help but take a deep breath. In his mind, the [Guild of Guilty] was collecting the unknown particles released by the remnant of the alien demon whose head had just been smashed by him. At the same time, he suddenly carried Judgment Division's slashing sword and walked towards the man behind him. Alien.

What's up with this guy?

Shinmura Shinichi couldn't help being stunned.

In his heart, he really wanted to say that you don't need to break up brother, let's go to the Pearl Tower to meet everyone. It's so dark that you don't leave and I'm a little scared.

But before these "nonsense words" could be said, Higashinohara in front of him had disappeared.

To be precise, it turned into an afterimage that stretched and stretched out in the dark, and it was completely impossible to see what the urging ability was.

If you have to say it, it is like a 100-meter sprint with extreme speed.

The next moment, under the dim moonlight above the alley, the clear knife light splashed like a spring in the alley.

Ruins!

Without me, a knife and a knife. Ghost cut!

Amidst the screeching sound of a blade scraping across the skull, the alien demons crowded from the other end of the alley to show their abilities swiped their heads in unison, and the sound of their heads falling to the ground was incessant.

Higashinohara looked down at the Zhanjian in his hand. After slashing so many people in one go, it was still sharp. Although it couldn't keep up with his two ancient knives, it was of better quality than the two small swords he bought in the second-hand market. Too much.

"Let's go."

Higashinohara back road

This time it was Shinchon's turn to be dumbfounded.

It was not until Higashinohara came over and patted him on the shoulder, Shinmura Shinichi didn't react.

He stared straight at Dongyeyuan, if I remember correctly, this little brother's ability is the enviable talent Sequence 23 water system ability [Desolate Ruins].

"Nishinomiya-kun, how did you do it?" Shinmura Shinichi couldn't help but ask.

He is a power user of the fifth stage and the second stage. In all fairness, if he can overcome his fear, he can also deal with these first-level gray ordinary monsters behind him.

But the difficulty is that he doesn't know whether there will be some second-level monsters mixed with these monsters. If there are, then it is likely to be severely affected, so he does not dare and does not want to. to take this risk.

Where does it look like Higashinohara in front of me? Not only is this turn extremely decisive, but the attack is also neat and tidy!

Shinichi Shinmura even had some doubts, the alien demons that he beheaded might be mixed with second-level alien demons, but before he could react, the beheading operation was completed "without discrimination".

【Disassembly completed】

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 0.3 source power points]

Are these first-level gray ordinary monsters harvesting so little?

Higashinohara spit out a word in his heart.

He easily converted all 0.3 source power points into 30 proficiency points, and added them all in one breath to the sword type of Wuwu Yi Dao (intermediate 70/100).

In an instant, the proficiency after the slash without me changed, and it became an advanced 0/500.

This distance from the 500 proficiency points of [Grandmaster] is a bit difficult, at least 5 power points, which means that Higashinohara has to kill five third-level blue high-risk monsters.

But that is the existence of the seventh to eighth order.

Or there is another way, that is to wait for the third-level blue high-risk alien demon's body to break down and turn into pure unconscious ability to escape to another world through the gate of [Boundary], like the convenience store clerk of the Aragaki apartment that night. .

After the alien demon descends through the gate of [Boundary], its strength will drop by one or two steps, but the unknown particles obtained after beheading are still from "blue quality", which can decompose the ability of 1 source point.

Perhaps, it is time to first consider improving the proficiency of secret skills and secret secrets, these two are big killers in actual combat.

At this time, hearing Shinichi Shinichi's question next to him, Higashinohara didn't think too much, shrugged and said, "It's no big deal, just hurry up."

When Shinmura Shinichi heard the words, the corners of his eyes twitched.

He squinted Higashinohara,

Are you sure you're just going faster?

Speaking of which, Shinichi Nimura is 22 years old this year, and his ability is in the fifth and second stages. After passing the interview of the Judgment Division, he thinks that he is an elite of the younger generation in New Tokyo and even Wano.

But compared with the performance of this little brother with a tender face in front of him in the past two days, Shinichi Shinmura suddenly realized that he shouldn't have the idea of ​​"comparing" at all.

"Uh, okay." Shinichi Shinmura could only say that.

But suddenly, he seemed to remember something again, and said anxiously, "By the way, when we were evacuating just now, did the captain arrange for the wounded to be evacuated?"

All of this happened suddenly tonight, and it was even more frightening than last night in the residential building of Pujiang Community. No one thought that those strange monsters who disappeared during the day would actually act in groups at night. So start a "hunt" for them.

Yes, that's right, hunting.

When they fled in a hurry tonight, chasing the strange monsters with different abilities behind them drove them like primitive people in ancient society hunting.

It's just that the group of "prey" Higashinohara and Shinmura Shinichi are a bit special. When they are halfway in pursuit, the identities of the hunter and the prey have changed.

Higashinohara and the others became hunters.

Hearing Shinichi Nimura's words, Higashinohara thought about it carefully and couldn't help shaking his head, "I didn't hear anything about this in the voice, maybe the captain has his plan."

What is the captain's plan?

The two looked at each other, and Xincun Zhen's face turned pale for a while.

Shinichi Nimura certainly knew the meaning of Higashinohara's words. Given the character of Captain Gray Mayne, let alone the wounded, he did not label the people he was with as "wounded" when he evacuated to delay the death of those monsters. Time has been merciful.

Higashinohara looked at Shinichi Shinmura, whose face was pale. Two of the three wounded were incapacitated. Perhaps one of them was his friend. Now this situation inevitably made him feel that he had betrayed his friend.

But this is also something that can't be done.

Higashinohara looked up at the tower in front of him that was obliquely inserted into the clouds stained by moonlight. According to the description in Ma Baoli's diary, there seemed to be some dangerous existence in the Pearl Tower.

But the time of the diary is 4597 AD. The weathering and corrosion degree of these buildings is unknown how many years have passed since he came to this world. It is difficult to tell whether the Pearl Tower is still dangerous.

After thinking about it, Higashinohara still comforted, "Let's go to the tower to meet the investigation team first, the injured people in the camp may have attracted the attention of the strange demons when we were evacuating, and those strange demons have come to encircle us, On the contrary, it is not necessarily that they can survive in desperation.”

Doomsday?

Hearing Higashinohara's words, Shinmura Shinichi couldn't help being stunned, and nodded with a sad expression on his face.

No one is a fool.

Of course he knew it was comforting words.

But I really don't have much time to think about it now.

On the other side of the alley, there was the sound of rustling footsteps again, and the night wind walking through the alley was mixed with the whispers of various "weird syllables" that Shinichi Xincun heard.

Although Higashinohara was the only one who could understand the "complex and weird syllables" uttered by these demons, he just decided to turn around because the demons were too close.

Now that he didn't catch up with him, he rushed out by himself, which was like a firefly in the dark night, and was easily attacked by those strange monsters.

What worries Higashinohara the most is that the "Ling Wei" mentioned in Ma Baoli's diary was also behind the apparently organized night attack against them.

According to the description in the diary and his analysis, Ling Wei, who is suspected to be the "leader" of the strange demon in the Pujiang community, is very likely to be the top level of the second-level dangerous strange demon, that is, the peak strength of the sixth-order.

Under normal circumstances, Higashinohara's comprehensive strength is basically beneficial to those who are in the upper fifth stage, and it also has the power to fight against the first stage of the sixth stage.

But for the sixth-order peak, life and death are unpredictable.

Shinmura Shinichi doesn't have as many sources of information as Higashinohara for analysis, but he has an inexplicable trust in Higashinohara, whose face is too tender.

The two left as soon as they said it, and parted ways with the strange demon behind them.

But it is not unreasonable to say "Wangshan runs to the death horse".

Under the dim moonlight, the Pearl Tower, which stretched from the ground to the sky and slanted into the sea of ​​clouds like a road to the sky, seemed to be in sight, but it actually took them quite a while to arrive.

During this period, the strange demons behind him were in hot pursuit.

Dong Yeyuan relied on [Nine Eyes and Six Paths] for his insight into the surrounding in the dark and his familiarity with the city of Jianghai in his previous life. He tried several times to get rid of those "tails", but unfortunately nothing came of it.

This is obviously not normal.

Higashinohara secretly guessed that among the commanders or generals who organized and commanded these strange monsters, there might be some strange monsters who had mastered the tracking ability.

Is it Ling Wei?

However, they did not stay all the way, and the strange monsters were not able to catch up again after all.

When they arrived at the foot of the Pearl Tower, Shinmura Shinben thought that they should be the first to arrive here, led by Higashinohara, who has an excellent "sense of direction".

Unexpectedly, not far from the main entrance of the Pearl Tower, a woman with pale blue hair suddenly attracted his attention. The person in front of him was obviously Hela from the investigation team.

Without waiting for Shinichi Shinmura to come up and ask, "Why are you so fast?" Hela, who stared blankly at the Pearl Tower, turned around and found Higashinohara and Shinichi Shinmura, and immediately took the initiative to walk over and look around and said:

"Are you here? Where are the others?"

Higashinohara glanced at Hela, didn't say much, and didn't ask any more questions.

Shinmura Shinichi swallowed the doubts that were surging in his heart and replied, "We all dispersed when we were evacuating, and the others should still be on their way."

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard in the darkness not far away, and the nerves of the three suddenly became tense, and it was only after seeing clearly that they realized that it was Gray Maine.

Gray Maine's right arm seemed to be injured. He ran over with a gloomy expression on his right arm. He didn't even look at the three standing here. bandage.

In the darkness, Higashinohara glanced at Gray Maine, who was at a distance from them, vaguely feeling that his wound did not seem to have been caused by an attack by a strange demon.

On the contrary, it was like being cut by a sharp object such as a long sword.

Can aliens use swords?

Tonohara's brows furrowed slightly.

At this moment, in the darkness in all directions in front of the main entrance of the Pearl Tower, hurried footsteps sounded one after another.

After the people of the investigation team rushed out of the shadow of the dark high-rise buildings under the pursuit of the strange monsters, they saw Higashinohara and the others waiting under the Pearl Tower, and they all gathered with joy on their faces.

In less than three minutes.

Under the Pearl Tower, nine out of ten people evacuated by the investigation team tonight, and only the last hired human ability person has not arrived.

At this moment, Jiyuan Wen, who was still in a lingering fear, leaned over and asked respectfully beside Gray Maine, "Someone hasn't returned to the team, what should I do as captain? Shall we wait for him here?"

In the danger of a sudden attack tonight, Gray Maine pointed out a "bright path" to everyone in the face of danger, which suddenly made the terrified Jiyuan Wen people seem to have found the backbone, and became more and more determined to hold on tight. Surprisingly, this thigh will be able to get on the giant ship of the Judgment Division in the future.

Gray Maine just simply bandaged the wound on his arm. Hearing Jiyuan Wenren's words, he shook his head without hesitation and said, "Don't wait, I can't get here, I can only blame him for his bad life."

Shinichi Shinmura, who has been with Higashinohara all the way, may have just experienced abandonment of his companions, and now he is about to abandon his teammates again. Hearing this, he said with some reluctance, "It was Tsukikawa-san who didn't come, why don't we wait a bit longer? He, by the way, isn't he with you, captain?"

Hearing Shinichi Nimura's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of their eyes drifted to Gray Maine, who stared at Shinichi Shinmura with a gloomy expression, took a deep look, and shook his face blankly. He shook his head and said, "I haven't seen him."

Everyone was silent for a while.

Gray Maine was unwilling to struggle with such "trivial matters". His mind was spinning at high speed, thinking about how to complete the task of the Judgment Division and how to get rid of these strange demons to save his life.

Unexpectedly, Higashinohara, who had been silent for a long time, stared at the darkness in the shadows of the tall buildings, and said in a slow tone, "They stopped."

Did they stop?

Everyone was startled when they heard the words.

Someone looked intently into the thick ink-like darkness, and sure enough, there were the tingling whispers and messy footsteps that had been chasing after him.

From the moment they arrived in front of the Pearl Tower, everything disappeared, and the only thing left in the surrounding air was the constant whimpering of the wind passing through the tall buildings in the city.

what's going on?

There were some doubts in everyone's mind for a while.

But gradually, some people reacted and suddenly turned their heads to look at the Pearl Tower behind them, which was slanted into the clouds, and pale faces were reflected in the dim moonlight.

Ask for a ticket!

There will be a second one later.
