Battle scene.
Many policemen surrounded the bat monster flying above and kept shooting, but it had no effect at all.
However, the power of their regularly equipped police gun P230 is too weak. It was designed to knock down criminals rather than kill them. The power of its bullets makes it difficult to shoot into a human body, let alone these monsters whose physical strength far exceeds that of humans.
The Bat Monster hovered and batted away the bullets shot at him without any care. The bullet casings fell from the air and clattered to the ground.
"Fuck!"
Suddenly he swooped down and grabbed a policeman with his arms outstretched, while the others fled in panic.
The policeman screamed and was bitten on the neck, and then lost his voice. After a period of struggle, his body gradually became limp and his limbs drooped weakly.
After his blood was sucked dry, he was thrown down by the bat monster. Several people on the ground tried to catch him, but they were knocked to the ground together.
"Hehehe..." The strange bat landed on the roof, crossed his arms, and looked at the policemen below arrogantly, like a hunter appreciating his prey.
Kaoru Ichijo came from behind with a pistol, followed closely by Yusuke Godai.
"Run away! Leave quickly, go away!" Kaoru Ichijo picked up a police officer who fell on the ground, and ordered the police officers to retreat while shooting at the bat monster, while he cut off from behind.
"Mr. Ichijo." Godai had already come to him and reached out to help.
"Go back, this is the job of the police!" Ichijo Kaoru stopped him behind him and shouted loudly.
But seeing the sacrifices of the police officers, Godai was very anxious, "But, Mr. Ichijo..."
"Go back when I tell you!"
Kaoru Ichijo's attitude remained firm. Seeing the bat monster attacking again, Yusuke Godai no longer cared about it and simply rushed over Kaoru Ichijo.
"Hey, idiot! What are you doing?!" Ichijo Kaoru shouted urgently.
"Transform!"
Godai punched the Bat Monster in the face and the belt appeared. Then he continued to attack, and his white biological armor and black reinforced skin quickly covered his body.
"Changed!" Ichijo Kaoru raised his gun and looked at Godai's transformation in surprise from behind.
The Bat Monster took a set of combos from Godai and just took two steps back, clutching his chest. When he saw the white Kuuga transformed by Godai, he immediately became very angry.
"You guys, this is how you should hit someone!"
"Scared!" Wu Dai saw that his attack was ineffective and continued to rush forward to attack.
However, this time his fist was easily blocked as soon as he swung it out. Instead, he was counterattacked by the bat monster. After being beaten from left to right, he was hit with a powerful punch in the abdomen.
"Wow -" Godai was immediately knocked out and hit Ichijou hard. Both of them were knocked to the ground by the force.
The severe pain caused Godai to cancel his transformation, panting heavily, and it was difficult to move for a while.
The Bat Monster sneered and walked up to him, leaning over to strangle his neck.
"boom!"
With a decisive gunshot, Kaoru Ichijo shot the weirdo in the head.
Damn it, such a weak ant dares to offend me! The Bat Monster was stunned for a moment, and then he felt his personality was insulted.
"Damn it..." He changed his target, walked towards Ichijo Kaoru, waved his hand and slapped him in the face.
Kaoru Ichijo was immediately shot away and hit the oil drum next to the wall again. Then he fell down and rolled twice on the ground, curling up in pain.
"Chi--" Just when the weird bat was still thinking of making the next move, a police car suddenly drove over, and the strong light of the car lights just shone on the weird bat, forcing him to raise his wings to cover it.
The figure quickly escaped from the area filled with light and disappeared into the darkness.
Kameyama rushed out of the police car and saw the injured Kaoru Ichijo and Yusuke Godai.
"Mr. Ichijo, Mister Ichijo!"
Kameyama hurriedly ran over to help Ichijo Kaoru.
Kaoru Ichijo reluctantly got up to look, but there was no trace of the strange bat.
…
Nagano City Police Hospital, 6:52pm.
Godai Yusuke sat on the bench in the corridor and waited.
Kaoru Ichijo walked out of the infirmary holding her coat, followed by a female medical staff.
The female doctor kept persuading, "No, Mr. Ichijo. If you don't do a proper examination, there is a possibility of fracture..."
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."
"It's impossible!"
"It's okay!" Kaoru Ichijo said a little loudly. The current case was already very difficult. Of course, he couldn't allow himself to escape on the grounds of injury. He restrained himself and said calmly, "Sorry, I still have a lot to do. To investigate.”
The female doctor looked at him aggrievedly, and she had no choice but to lower her head apologetically, then turned and walked towards the elevator door.
"Mr. Ichijo." Godai quickly followed.
"are you still there?"
"I'm sorry. As for No. 3, I found traces of him in the Cathedral of St. Malu - he killed Father Paolo and pretended to be him." (Don't ask why you didn't call the police or call the police earlier, because Godai didn’t even have a mobile phone in the original show.)
Kaoru Ichijo pressed the elevator door button, "Thank you very much for your information, but these are police matters. You are still a citizen and a citizen."
"But, because of my relationship..." Godai wanted to say something else.
But before he could finish speaking, Kaoru Ichijo suddenly grabbed Godai's collar angrily and pushed him against the wall. "You can fight with whatever strength you want, but you have no obligation to fight! This is us who want to protect the citizens." Police work, don’t let our efforts go to waste halfway!”
"Ding~"
The elevator door opened, Kaoru Ichijo let go and walked into the elevator, then closed the door without hesitation.
Don't I have a duty to fight? Wu Dai leaned against the wall with a complicated expression, feeling slightly confused.
He thought again of the man named Higashino Ryusuke whom he met at the church in the morning, and he also said what kind of obligation it was.
Godai thought of the policemen who were killed by weirdos but still fought on the front line, thought of the priest's body in the church, and thought of the worried eyes of the mother and daughter... Gradually, he clenched his fists and his eyes became firm.
No, this is my world. Of course I have an obligation to fight to protect those people!
In the elevator, Kaoru Ichijo gritted his teeth and covered his chest, his other hand was drooped and trembling, with a ferocious and painful expression on his face.
…
Nagano City, Kurita.
At 10:30 in the evening, the hungry Ryusuke Higashino came to a soba stall on the street, ordered a bowl of noodles and started eating.
He spent the whole afternoon observing the terrain near the church.
Although the police did not make the news public, the news of monsters appearing in Nagano City has long been spread among citizens.
Therefore, since it got dark at 5pm, people have been returning home one after another. At this time, there are not many pedestrians on the street.
The young diner next to him had finished his meal and stood up to say goodbye to the boss.
The owner of the buckwheat stall kindly reminded him: "Go slowly and be careful on the road. I heard that there are vampires nearby. Yesterday, a famous drunkard here had his blood sucked to death!"
"No, it can't be... Boss, don't scare me!" The young man was obviously a little frightened, and left in a hurry.
Ryusuke Higashino only heard the words "vampire", "yesterday", "alcoholic" and "dead", and suddenly thought of some bad things.
"Sorry, may I ask... was the person who died... called Oshima Katsu?"
The boss glanced at him and said, "Yes, that's his name. Do you know him?"
"No, just...just asking."
Is it really him? Ryusuke lowered his head and ate the noodles silently, but suddenly he felt that the chopsticks in his hand were too heavy to hold, and his heart seemed to be blocked by something.
Oshima Katsu is the only person in the original series who was attacked by the Bat Monster but survived.
Ichijo Kaoru also got the news from him that the bat monster was probably in St. Malu Church. Higashino Ryusuke only vaguely remembered that he was an alcoholic.
Although he was a supporting actor whose scene lasted less than half a minute, he remembered the name because he had a beard like Hemingway's.
But now the people who could have survived have died because of him...
Strong devil, tonight is your death!
