Ichijo Kaoru held the newly equipped rifle and kept shooting while approaching Ryusuke.
The bullet hitting the Locust Monster was much more powerful than the previous police pistol. In addition, it was caught off guard. Although it was still unable to cause fatal damage, it could continuously force the Monster to retreat with its powerful kinetic energy.
A bullet hit the Locust Monster's injured shoulder, immediately causing great pain to the Monster, and he roared like an enraged beast.
"Damn humans! Damn it."
Ichijo Kaoru came to Higashino Ryusuke and stretched out a hand to pull him up. When he noticed Ryusuke's appearance, his eyes narrowed.
"It's you!"
He didn't know Ryusuke was Number 1 yet. He only remembered that a man broke into the crime scene and escaped in Nagano City before. He didn't expect to meet him again here.
The locust monster roared and rushed forward. Kaoru Ichijo didn't have time to say anything. He quickly stood in front of Ryusuke, raised his gun and fired.
"Take the children and leave first!" Kaoru Ichijo said loudly to Ryusuke.
Ryusuke Yehao retreated without hesitation. In the current situation, protecting Satoko is the most important thing.
The rifle's rate of fire was not very fast. The Locust Monster was on guard this time and relied on his super jumping power to jump up and instantly jump in front of Ichijo Kaoru.
"What?!" Before Ichijo could react, the locust monster grabbed the rifle in his hand, and then the huge force threw him out and hit him heavily against the railing on the roadside.
The locust monster approached with ferocious eyes, and said angrily: "Just go to hell!"
"Wow -" Ichijo Kaoru lay on the ground in pain. He tried to get up several times but failed. The pain in his right arm and ribs almost made him faint.
There were bone fractures in his ribs when he was dealing with Bat Monster No. 3, and now he was injured again.
"Oh no!" Ryusuke felt anxious when he saw the situation ahead. He quickly took Riko to the back of Ichijo Kaoru's police car and said softly: "Riko, just hide here obediently. I'll be back soon..."
But Riko's little hands still grasped the corner of Ryusuke's clothes tightly and refused to let go.
The situation was already very urgent. Ryusuke patted her little hand comfortingly: "Riko! My brother is going to save the police uncle."
Hearing the word police, Riko's body seemed to pause. Although she was still trembling with fear, her hands slowly let go.
Her father is also a policeman, and so is her mother. She is the daughter of a policeman.
"It will be fine, Riko." Ryusuke gritted his teeth, turned around and ran back to the battlefield.
The locust monster had already arrived in front of Kaoru Ichijo, raising his claws and preparing to give him the final blow.
"stop!"
Higashino Ryusuke shouted in a deep voice, and rushed forward like a cannonball. He turned sideways and hit the Locust Monster hard with his right shoulder.
However, attacking like this in a human form made him feel as if he had hit a wall.
The Locust Monster staggered after being hit hard, and Ryusuke fell to the ground weakly. The entire right side of his body had become numb, limp, and covered with bruises.
"Damn, damn, damn!" Locust Monster roared angrily, came back to his senses, stepped forward, grabbed Ryusuke's neck who was unable to resist, and lifted him up, "You damn ants."
The huge force compressed Higashino Ryusuke's throat, making his face turn red, making it difficult to breathe, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"Transform..." He struggled to gather his strength, and a circle of light bloomed, forming a belt around his waist. However, it flickered on and off like a poorly connected light bulb, flickering a few times before disappearing completely.
Isn't the power really not enough to transform?
"Is that a belt? Could it be..." Kaoru Ichijo behind him was struggling on the ground, trying hard to support his body and trying to stand up, but failed after several attempts.
What should I do if I can't hold it anymore?
Ryusuke put his hands feebly on the locust monster's rough hands, trying to pry the monster's hand away.
"Rumble--"
Suddenly, a low and powerful roar of a motorcycle was heard, followed by a golden-red figure that rushed over like a phantom, knocking the Locust monster away.
This was a serious blow. The Locust Monster was so pretentious that he couldn't recover for a long time.
"Ahem..." Ryusuke Higashino finally got rid of the threat of death. He fell to the ground exhausted, coughing violently and gasping for air.
The motorcycle stopped in front of him, and the figure on the car got off and helped Ryusuke up.
"Mr. Higashino, are you okay?"
A familiar voice came, and Ryusuke raised his head and saw the Godai Yusuke who had transformed into an all-powerful form. Kaoru Ichijo came to the side despite his injuries.
"I...it's okay!" Ryusuke tried to say a word, but his throat hurt as if it was being burned by flames, and his face turned red from holding back.
Ichijo Kaoru's phone suddenly rang, and he quickly took out his phone to answer the call, "Yes. Heart of water? Something that grows... Okay, I get it!"
After hanging up the phone, Ichijo Kaoru faced Godai and said: "Godai, Ms. Sakurako's phone number, she asked me to tell you that the blue posture is the warrior of the heart of water. You need to hold the long thing in your hands and wave it as much as you want."
"Oh~ It's the same as what Mr. Higashino said!" Godai said in surprise, and then faced the locust monster, "Okay, I'm going!"
"Super transformation!"
His hands quickly crossed the belt, and the Yamadam spirit stone on his waist suddenly bloomed with blue light. Godai Yusuke's entire body changed accordingly. The fiery red biological armor all turned blue, and the muscles all over his body became more slender, and his body shape became more and more slender. Skinnier direction change.
Kuuga's Blue Dragon form appears!
"boom!"
Kicking down a railing on the side of the road, Godai held the pole in his hand and danced several stick flowers. A surge of power came from the belt and came to the hand, and the pole instantly turned into a long blue stick, with both ends extended and golden super-ancient characters engraved in the middle.
"Is that it?"
Godai looked at the green dragon stick in his hand and was filled with fighting spirit again. He rushed towards the Locust Monster without hesitation. Next, it's his battle!
Kaoru Ichijo and Ryusuke Higashino breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but the atmosphere between the two taciturn men was a little awkward.
The power of the belt was quickly repairing the injuries on Ryusuke's body, and he could feel the pain in his throat disappearing quickly.
"Every time this guy Fifthai appears, he makes people feel at ease!" Ryusuke said.
Ichijo Kaoru nodded in agreement, and then he looked at Ryusuke sharply and asked directly: "Are you really the number one?"
"That's right." Ryusuke answered him unabashedly.
I didn't expect Ryuusuke to admit so straightforwardly. Kaoru Ichijo was a little surprised and wanted to say something, but realized that now was not the time to ask questions.
He silently picked up the rifle on the ground and dragged his injured body towards the fighting place.
Higashino Ryusuke rested for a while and regained some strength, so he staggered back to the police car to check on Satoko's condition.
