…
After treating the guests to dinner, Wang Shen suggested taking a walk around, getting familiar with Nagano City, and finding a place to stay.
"Don't you have to go back to Tokyo for work?" Ryusuke asked.
"It's my turn to take the day off tomorrow, so it doesn't matter." Wang Shen replied nonchalantly.
Since the person involved has no problem, Ryusuke has no objection. After all, whoever has the money is the eldest brother. Just be soft-spoken and follow suit.
…
In the silent night, on the high roof of the church, a tall humanoid monster was dormant quietly in the darkness.
This monster has two long and pointed ears, a mouth full of fangs, and two arms with bone spurs, which are covered with fleshy membrane to form a pair of fleshy wings. Like a humanoid bat.
In the parking lot next to the church, a car drove up and parked there.
The car door opened, and a young woman in a khaki coat stepped out of the car. She held a phone to her ear in one hand and chatted with a friend about something.
The bat weirdo was condescending and quietly observing.
"Is she next?" The weird man spat out obscure syllables, which were in ultra-ancient language.
The next moment, he flapped his wings and rushed towards the target.
The woman was still immersed in the call and didn't notice at all.
…
Ryusuke Higashino sat on the back seat of his motorcycle, enjoying the night breeze. The weather at this time was still relatively cold, especially at night, but for his strengthened body, it only felt a bit cool.
But when he saw the statue of Jesus and the Virgin appearing on the side of the road, and a church in the distance gradually came into view, he felt something was wrong.
"Old Wang, where is this place?"
"Saint Malu Cathedral, I heard that the priest here is a very good man, and there are many residential areas nearby, so I stopped by to take a look."
"Church...Saint Malu..." Ryusuke muttered, "It feels so familiar..."
He felt a bad premonition well up in his heart.
A car in front was blaring its siren. In the dim light of the flashing rearview lights, a tall male shadow seemed to be hugging a young girl and kissing her.
However, Ryusuke's enhanced vision quickly saw the scene clearly with the light of the rearview lights, and saw the sharp bat ears and fluff on the shadow's head.
Damn it, it's Gurungi!
Ryusuke cried out in his heart that he was unlucky. He immediately recalled that the third bat monster started the massacre the night after the spider monster appeared.
"Dongye, something seems to be wrong up front."
"Haha, really, maybe it's a young couple making out?" Ryusuke Higashino dealt with it casually, trying his best to act like a normal person.
But he knew that a killing was unfolding in front of him, and his fists clenched involuntarily...
"No, that person's arms are weak and drooping. He is already in an unconscious state. Something must have happened!" Wang Shen's tone became more firm as the distance approached.
"Hey, what are you doing?!" Wang Shen slowed down the car and yelled in Japanese toward the front.
The black shadow threw away the woman in his hand and stood up slowly, revealing the complete figure of the bat monster under the street light.
"There is a new prey." A strange sound was heard from his mouth, and then he spread his wings and rushed towards the two of them at lightning speed.
Danger!
"careful!"
Ryusuke was alert and immediately pulled Wang Shen away from the motorcycle, avoiding the bat monster's attack.
The speeding motorcycle rushed out uncontrollably.
"Fuck, what the hell is this?!"
Wang Shen was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and rolled to the side with Ryū Jie on the ground.
The bat monster struck the air, turned around and walked towards them unhurriedly, with the human woman's blood still flowing from his mouth.
Ryusuke felt anxious.
Damn it, I didn’t expect to meet No. 3 like this. Run away? This guy can fly, and he can't run very far in this state.
He gritted his teeth. He couldn't care so much anymore. He couldn't just let No. 3 go. Besides, he didn't seem to want to let himself go.
"Wang Shen, find a safe place to hide!" After making up his mind, Higashino Ryusuke stood up and stood in front of Wang Shen, facing the bat monster and spoke calmly.
"Dongye, what are you going to do? Let's run together!"
Higashino Ryusuke turned a deaf ear and stroked his waist with his hands, and a belt formed out of thin air.
"Transform!" His body was quickly wrapped in armor, and he transformed into a warrior in the blink of an eye.
The newborn form appears.
Wang Shen looked dumbfounded from behind.
Ryusuke shouted and rushed forward, taking the lead in attacking the bat monster. Between three punches and two kicks, the two were already fighting.
After Wang Shen was shocked at the beginning, he did not sit idle. Instead, he quietly moved to the car and checked the victim's condition at the same time.
"Scared!"
Ryusuke Higashino's battle with the Bat Monster doesn't have too many bells and whistles, but it's not as unskilled as a street gangster.
"Bang bang bang!"
The fists of both sides kept swinging and hitting each other, and both of them were knocked away by the impact at the same time.
With his fists trembling, he leaned over and carefully watched the Bat Monster's every move.
As Ryusuke guessed, in terms of strength, the two sides are about the same. Although the fifth generation's newborn form was hammered in the TV, Ryusuke has been transformed by the belt for tens of thousands of years, and his strength is far stronger than the current fifth generation.
The Bat Monster is a weirdo who is qualified to participate in the game. Although he only participates in the weakest Zi Group in the game, he has also experienced real killings and stood out from the servant-like Shell Group with the largest number.
As for Ryusuke, after accepting Rick's battle memories, although his combat experience was still severely lacking, he did not attack randomly like he did at the beginning.
"Bang bang..." In an instant, the two people were going back and forth again, their fists and feet containing huge power measured in tonnage, attacking each other's vital points mercilessly.
With the blessing of battle memories, Ryusuke could easily see the flaws of the bat monster, but his body had not developed an instinct. Although he was able to parry, he was always unable to do a strong attack, and his reaction could not keep up with his thinking.
But the Bat Monster can always easily avoid his attacks thanks to his ability to fly, and instead hovers in the sky looking for opportunities.
For a while, the two sides were at a stalemate, and because of the disadvantage of not being able to fly, Ryusuke was also at a brief disadvantage.
This situation is very unfavorable to Ryusuke Higashino. He has already felt that the irritability in his heart is gradually amplifying, and his attacks are becoming more and more violent out of control. If this continues, he will definitely lose control.
He noticed Wang Shen hiding beside the car, and out of desperation, he shouted at him: "Wang Shen, this monster is afraid of strong light. Try using the high beam of the car to shine on him."
At this point, we can only hope that Wang Shen will break the deadlock.
Next to the car, Wang Shen checked and found that the female victim had completely lost her vital signs due to excessive blood loss. Hearing Ryusuke's voice, he immediately got into the car and drove the vehicle.
"Chi!" The bat monster used his advantage to sneak attack Ryusuke from the left and quickly distanced himself.
Ryusuke's violent punch hit the air, causing him to stagger due to the excessive force.
Damn bastard! He glared angrily.
Under the dual influence of being teased and the missing belt, anger gradually dominated Ryusuke's actions.
"Bang!"
A beam of bright light came, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to block it, and his thinking became much clearer.
The bat monster roared in pain under such sudden illumination, constantly trying to cover himself with its wings, and his figure also stagnated in the sky.
good chance! Ryusuke quickly adapted and saw No. 3 showing such an obvious flaw in front of him.
The body was filled with the mysterious energy coming from the belt, which was probably the so-called sealing power. Ryusuke controlled this power to concentrate on his right leg, and a burning sensation like a flame rose up from the lower leg.
He bent his knees to accumulate strength, jumped up with all his strength, and ignited a pale golden flame on his right foot, aiming directly at the Bat Monster.
"boom!"
The newborn knight kicked the bat monster hard on the waist, and the bat monster was kicked dozens of meters away and landed in the parking lot.
The moment his right foot touched the bat monster, the sealed power was released crazily by Ryusuke.
However, the rage that had been suppressed in his heart seemed to open, and a murderous intention rushed into his mind, making him unable to help but want to destroy everything.
The compound eyes shining with scarlet light began to appear black, and the white body also suddenly changed.
No, I can't control it anymore!
Ryusuke used his remaining sanity to quickly cancel the transformation and fell from the air in a human form.
"Boom!"
Falling from a height of four to five meters to the stone floor, even Ryusuke felt a burst of pain.
Fortunately, after exiting the transformation, the murderous intention receded like a tide in the blink of an eye, and the brain quickly regained consciousness under the stimulation of pain.
On the cement floor in the distance, the bat monster struggled to stand up. Mysterious symbols appeared on the waist where he was kicked, and golden cracks appeared on the copper belt.
Ryusuke quickly endured the pain and stood up, confronting the weirdo vigilantly.
"...Kuaga!" The bat monster covered the injured area. The injury was not serious, so he had no intention of fighting anymore, and instead immediately disappeared into the darkness.
The expected explosion did not happen. It seemed that it was his first time to use Knight Kick after all, and the seal power mobilized was not enough.
However, the battle was finally over. Higashino Ryusuke fell to the ground and breathed a sigh of relief, then turned over and lay flat on his back, breathing heavily.
"Dong Ye, are you okay?" Wang Shen got out of the car and hurried towards Long Jie.
