In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.
…
"call--"
The surrounding area that can be seen is a vast expanse of white, and the ground is covered with white snow, which makes the two figures in the snow stand out.
The sky is gray, and the reflected white snow seems to have turned into wet cement, gray and white, and the air is filled with the breath of final despair.
"This is...Mt. Kuro?" Ryusuke Higashino was lying in the snow, his body seemed to have been fatally injured, "Why...am I here?!"
"Drink..."
There were sounds of fighting in the distance, and every punch and kick made a thunderous explosion.
Ryusuke followed the sound and saw two figures, one black and one white, fighting together, and he was immediately shocked.
"Ultimate Empty Self, Zero Daguaba. This...this is impossible..."
In front of Ryusuke's eyes, the fifth generation, who has transformed into the black ultimate Kuuga, and Daguba, who has also become the ultimate life form, are engaged in a final life-and-death showdown.
The two ultimate life forms possess the same power, regardless of their various forms and weapons, or their supernatural superpowers.
"Bang! Bang!" At this moment, both sides are using the most primitive fighting method, using only their bodies to punch each other.
Blood flowed from Kuuga and Daguba's broken bodies, staining the surrounding snow red.
Daguba suddenly punched the Ultimate Kuuga's Aguru belt, and the entire belt was suddenly covered in cracks.
The Ultimate Kuuga staggered back, stroking the broken belt with both hands, gasping in pain.
"Godai!" Ryusuke shouted anxiously, struggling to get up to help, but his body suddenly began to hurt. He lowered his head and suddenly found that his abdomen had been pierced and his belt was broken.
He looked at himself in horror, "What's going on?! No -"
But seeing that Kuuga would suffer the same tragic situation as him, Ryusuke dragged his exhausted body on the snow and shouted with all his strength.
"Fight back, attack his belt!"
However, there was no response from the Ultimate Kuuga, as if he could not hear his life-burning cry at all.
Daguba took advantage of the victory and continued to attack the Ultimate Kuuga. Kuuga was forced to fight back, and gradually lost his resistance.
As Daguba punched my belt again, the Yamadam spirit stone shattered into pieces of rubble with a bang, and the sky and the earth suddenly lost color.
Kuuga knelt down weakly on the ground, and his whole body collapsed. His body slowly turned into particles and dissipated, leaving only Daguba laughing wildly on the spot.
"No, it's impossible, how could this happen?! How could this happen!"
Ryusuke looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.
How could the Godai die, yet Daguba actually defeated Kuuga. no no! all fake!
Ryusuke's body seemed to be ignited with power, and everything around him was spinning...
"all fake!"
Ryusuke suddenly jumped up from the bed and then fell down again.
He looked at the familiar ceiling, and felt a familiar soft touch from the bed beneath him.
"Is it just a dream?" Ryusuke was confused for a while.
It was already 8:12 in the morning. Ryusuke got up, tidied up, and came to the living room yawning.
Wang Shen was flipping through a thick medical book and looked up at Long Jie, who was yawning profusely.
"Dream again?"
"Yes, I've been having similar dreams lately, and I feel terrible."
Long Jie came to Wang Shen's side, picked up two pieces of bread and started chewing them, "Old Wang, you are not a doctor, can you tell me what is going on?"
Wang Shen dragged his chin and said with a professional look: "Maybe you have been under too much pressure recently. After all, you have to fight those unconfirmed guys."
Nearly three weeks have passed since the last incident No. 6. During this period, seven more unconfirmed life forms have appeared one after another. Higashino Ryusuke has also participated in several battles against unconfirmed life forms.
Although he still has some doubts, it seems that this explanation is the most accurate now.
"By the way, how is Professor Natsume's situation?" Ryusuke asked casually.
Although he has never seen Professor Natsume again since then, he has always been concerned about the life of the man he saved.
"Professor Natsume's recovery is going well. His family members came to accompany him very early. Moreover, because he is a survivor of the ruins, Seongnam University and the police are paying close attention to this, so the hospital also adopts the best plan for treatment. I heard that I woke up yesterday."
"Hmm~ That's not bad." Ryusuke finished the bread in his hand in a few mouthfuls, packed up his things and went out.
…
In Bunkyo Ward, pole pole restaurant.
The owner, Saburo Tamaki, has decided to open at nine o'clock every morning, but Ryusuke habitually arrives half an hour early every day.
The latest intelligence about the unconfirmed life form was reported on TV. No. 13 was killed yesterday afternoon by the joint efforts of No. 1 and No. 4.
Saburo Kadama was sitting at the counter reading the daily morning newspaper, while Godai and Ryusuke were tidying up the store.
"These two guys No. 1 and No. 4 are really powerful. So many weirdos have been wiped out by them!" Saburo Shidama sighed.
"Really?" Godai said with a smile, "Maybe they are on the side of humans."
Shidama Saburo also agreed and said: "That's right, they seem to have been helping humans."
"However." Shi Yusanlang touched his chin and pondered: "They look very similar. Do you think No. 1 is the younger brother of No. 4?"
Na...Nani?
Godai's little head suddenly froze, and he looked at Ryusuke who was also in a daze.
The two men looked at each other.
Hmm... This guy seems to be an old monster who has lived from super ancient times to the present. Can he be my brother?
Hmm... Although I have some moisture, I seem to be tens of thousands of years old. I am my younger brother?
"No, no, definitely not!" The two people denied in unison.
"Huh? You two..." Shiyu Saburo looked at them strangely.
"Dingling~"
The wind chime at the door rang.
The door of the restaurant was suddenly pushed open, and then a mother and daughter walked in.
The mother politely asked the store: "Excuse me, is Mr. Higashino Ryusuke here?"
"Oh? Ryusuke, I'm here to see you." Saburo Shitama patted Ryusuke's shoulder curiously.
Ryusuke Higashino put down what he was doing and walked over, "I am, may I ask who you are..."
The mother and daughter first bowed deeply, and then the mother said: "I am the wife of Professor Natsume Shinji, and this is our daughter. I wonder if you still remember Professor Natsume."
Was it them? Then this little girl should be Natsume Mika.
Ryusuke remembered that in the novel, the second wearer of Kuga's prototype belt was this little girl.
Now that he has saved her father, he has also deprived her of the right to transform into Kuga, which is considered a form of exchange.
But if Natsume Minoru knew about it, he would probably be happy with such an exchange.
