I’m Really Unnerved In Tokyo

After the noisy blond youth left, the cemetery returned to its former tranquility.

A man in a raincoat and a mask appeared ghostly in front of the tombstones of Higashino Kohei and Shirazu Reiko, and slowly crouched down.

"Lizi..."

At the same time, the diamond ring on the man's chest emitted a faint fluorescence as if responding to him.

"How about it, Higashino-kun, it's a subtle feeling to watch others sweep your own grave... After all, there are really your ashes in it."

In the empty cemetery, a man spoke Japanese with a foreign accent, interrupting the mourning atmosphere.

The man whose whole body was wrapped tightly in a raincoat was none other than Kohei Higashino who had "resurrected from the dead".

"I'm sorry, Sousuke, Ryoma, Reiko and I can't go back... you two idiots had better do what you say, and live well with my share."

Ignoring the sudden voice, Higashino Kohei lowered his head and kissed the ring on his chest.

"Xinghei...it's okay...as long as we're still together...one day, we'll meet them again."

As if feeling his sadness, Baishui Lizi's pure white spiritual body quietly poured out from the ring, gently embracing him from behind like a guardian angel.

"Higashino-kun, it's almost time to start, it will take some time to get to Haneda Airport from here..."

In the air, there was a man's urging.

"... After all, it will not be so easy to leave Japan when the performance of the Meng Lan Bon Festival begins."

"Understood, Xia Duo..."

When Higashino Xinghei heard this, a dagger appeared in his cuff, and he carefully pried off the marble top cover on the upper part of Reiko's tomb.

"It's ok... Next, I hope that those guys who turned into yellow sand will not let people down in what they left behind in the Middle East."

Taking out Lizi's urn, he held it in his bosom as a treasure, and after closing the top of the tomb, Higashino Xinghei turned his head and glanced at the tombstone belonging to "himself".

"I have forgotten my thoughts, and left my body in vain. Could it be the relic of the king... Higashino Xinghei, he is dead..."

Immediately, his figure disappeared in front of the tombstone, leaving only his deep voice still echoing in the air.

"From now on... only the Cerberus..."

"The Hellhound who lived to revive Reiko and slaughter all monsters."

...

72 hours before the appearance of "The Gates of Hell".

Shibuya Police Station.

In the dark night, in the brightly lit office, Mochizuki Ayano stared at her big golden and blue eyes like an orange cat, staying up late as usual to check the case information.

Stretching vigorously, she picked up a piece of white paper at hand.

Outlined by black and white pencils on the paper is a thin middle-aged man wearing a cloak and mask.

That was the "sketch of the suspect" drawn by her with her photographic memory.

More than ten years ago at Minami Honmoku Wharf, Furuo Higashino Yukihei, a cadre of the Tokyo branch of Nuluoquan, avenged the murder of his fiancée Reiko Shiramizu. Industrial shredders.

Siena, who escaped from the Seto Inland Sea air crash and disappeared without a trace, was found by the police inside the warehouse.

At that time, he was already dying, and the officially registered complaint [Abigail's silver spoon] on his chest was also shattered.

In the end, he, who finally broke free from the embrace of the master, blocked the knife again for Mochizuki Ayano at the door of the warehouse...

Induced by the side effects of the grievances and injuries, Siena's internal organs entered a period of rapid failure due to massive blood loss. Although the situation gradually stabilized after rescue, she is still unconscious.

The Vatican has also issued an official diplomatic letter, and the dispatched support mission is also on its way.

Looking at the mask worn by the man on the sketch, Mochizuki Ayano fell into deep thought.

Behind a series of incidents such as the air crash in the Seto Inland Sea and the gun battle at the South Honmoku Wharf, it is no longer just a struggle between violent groups, there is obviously a supernatural force surging behind it.

Therefore, this series of troublesome cases were merged and assigned to Section Nine.

After the investigation by the information group of Lesson 9, the whole jigsaw puzzle scattered in the mist was gradually pieced together.

The core suspects in this series of incidents, apart from the dead Higashino Kohei and the unconscious Siena, are the only police officers who acted without authorization in the investigation of sex crimes, Ryoma and the "official informant" registered under his name. People" Sosuke Araki.

In order to "take the crime and make meritorious service", the two knew everything and talked endlessly during their detention.

According to the testimony, after hearing the gunshots, the two rushed into the warehouse wearing stockings like bank robbers, and Ryoma brought the unconscious Higashino Kohei back into the car before the two.

Sousuke Araki, who was in charge of the "behind the back", in the dark warehouse, first beat Kazuo Amato, the head of the Tokyo branch of the three-person group, then kicked the man in black robe unconscious, and finally held the blue dragon sword and Kazuo Amato. The bodyguards fought fiercely and smashed the sword in the opponent's hand...

After interrogation video playback, polygraph, criminal behavior patterns, and micro-expression analysis, the testimony of Ryoma and Araki Sousuke before and after the two were correct, detailed, and credible enough, and even the receipt for buying stockings at the convenience store is still preserved. .

However, this series of cases itself is still full of doubts.

The cause of the air crash in the Seto Inland Sea may not have a clear answer until Siena wakes up.

In the warehouse of the South Honmoku Wharf, the more than one hundred men who had gathered there seemed to have evaporated from the world, and no one is alive or dead.

All these mysteries seem to be gathered on the mysterious person who rushed out of the warehouse in the form of a breeze and took the lives of two agents in an instant.

In Tokyo, there are unknown supernatural forces hidden, and they are silently carrying out criminal activities.

This information alone is enough to make Lesson 9 feel like a formidable enemy.

According to Sousuke Araki, when he stepped onto the second-floor platform of the warehouse, Siena seemed to be wrestling with the black-robed man.

After the opponent noticed his presence, he stepped forward and gave him a "weak" whip kick, and was then kicked unconscious by his "justifiable self-defense".

In the past few days, Class Nine even conducted a comprehensive physical examination and physical data test on Sousuke Araki.

The results show that although this guy has no supernatural energy such as spiritual power and resentment power at all...

However, his physical fitness is too strong, and his statistics are close to the level of top athletes.

In the kendo and hand-to-hand combat tests, several retired elite agents from the Self-Defense Forces were no match for him.

It can be said that if this idiot continues to develop in the kendo world, he may have become a household name.

In any case, Araki Sousuke proved with his strength that he has the ability to defeat those "godsmen" in the warehouse.

The premise is that the man in black robe among them is not a half-demon who can transform into wind and take people's lives invisible.

"Araki Sousuke was able to defeat that person, is it because Uncle Siena fought with the other party at that time and lost both sides?"

It is different from the regular spirit removers who are not much different from ordinary people in other respects except for possessing spiritual power.

Siena, the "Arsenal of Holy Light" armed with guns, can be described as a pure killing machine, with the strength of a one-man army.

It was impossible for the man in black to be unscathed unscathed by the grievance that could force him to be seriously injured, or even use the effect of "avoiding death".

This is the only reasonable explanation for Mochizuki Ayano.

There were too many unconfirmed details and doubts, which made her feel like she was fiddling with an incomplete twenty-four-sided Rubik's cube. After finally putting together one side, the other sides were messed up.

"These are not the point...the point is..."

Looking at the white mask on the man's face in the sketch, Mochizuki Ayano couldn't help frowning and muttering to herself.

"Chairman, the complaint application process that you asked us to stare at was returned by the institute..."

At the same time, an agent knocked lightly on the door and stepped forward to report.

"Have you returned it...the reason."

"The reason is that the grievance is too dangerous and has been permanently contained, so it cannot be borrowed."

After preliminary identification by the research institute, grievances with huge side effects or too dangerous will be sent to a top-secret location controlled by the royal family and the Yin Yang Liao for "permanent containment".

"Okay, I know."

Hearing this result, Mochizuki Ayano nodded naturally.

But the fingers that tapped the table unconsciously and quickly betrayed her anxiety.

"...you have to be careful, people around you."

On that rainy night, Siena's words before she fainted echoed in her ears.
