In Bunkyo Ward, polepole restaurant.
8:42am.
Ryusuke Higashino came here early to work as usual, and Saburo Kadama was already cooking a pot of fresh porridge.
"Good morning, daddy, Ryujie-san."
Godai Yusuke stretched himself and walked down from the attic. Then he dusted off the Kuuga logo on the chest of his T-shirt and looked at it, smiling with satisfaction.
"What is that?" Shi Yusanlang just raised his head and asked casually.
Godai smiled and said, "It's the sign I mentioned before, Kuuga."
"Kuga? I know Kuga in love, it's a song by the Peanuts band." Saburo Shidama muttered.
"Isn't that... Fukuoka in love?"
"Really? Haha, it turns out you know." Shi Yusanlang said haha and laughed twice.
"Ding bell~" The wind chime on the door swayed, making a crisp sound. The store door was opened, and Godai Yusuke's younger sister, Minoru Godai, walked in.
Because she is a nursery school teacher, she usually wears loose overalls, which makes the children feel friendly and cute.
(Note: The word 甔 is pronounced "ren")
"Long time no see, Xiaomi." Shi Yusanlang waved and said hello.
"Call me that again." Minoru Godaime pouted, expressing his usual protest.
"What's that? Doesn't it sound like a high-end brand name?"
"Are you off today?" Godai walked to the counter and asked.
"It's Saturday, just a day off."
Ryusuke Higashino was quietly clearing the tables in the store. Seeing the conversation and laughter of this family that was not a family but more like a family, he couldn't help but relax physically and mentally.
"Oh, by the way, I think you haven't seen it yet!" Godai suddenly thought of something and pulled Ryusuke next to him.
"She is my sister Minoru Godai." Yusuke Godai introduced to Higashino, then winked at Minoru Godai and said, "He is Mr. Ryusuke Higashino, as I told you before."
"Ah, you are... someone who has traveled with my brother." Godaime almost blurted out in surprise, but luckily he corrected himself in time.
What a risk, almost exposing them. Godai Minoru secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Ryusuke smiled and nodded.
Godai Nin bowed to Ryusuke and said: "Thank you very much for taking care of my brother. He is always reckless and may cause you trouble."
"What? I'm obviously an adult, how could I be so rash?" Godai retorted unconvinced.
"Hmph." Godaime pouted, "Then do you remember what day it is today?"
"Today? Uh...well...today is..."
"It's your birthday! You are 25 years old today." Godai touched his forehead and sighed helplessly.
"Yes, it's today!" Saburo Shiyu also showed a look of realization. He looked at the calendar on the wall and saw that it was already March 18th.
The two men looked at each other and laughed awkwardly.
"Speaking of which, Ryusuke-san, when is your birthday?!" In order to get rid of the embarrassment, Godai changed the topic to Higashino Ryusuke.
"Ah? Oh, me?" Ryusuke felt a little depressed in his heart, and his eyes were slightly absent-minded.
Birthday, it’s such a long time ago that I almost forgot it!
He just smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's been a long time since I celebrated my birthday, and I forgot about it."
"Sure enough, all men are like this." Godai Minoru looked at the three men in front of him with a "Sure enough" look, with an expression of hatred for steel.
"Oh, by the way. Let's take a look at my recent achievements!" Saburo Shidaama took out a large folder from the bottom of the counter with great interest, "Actually, I have always had the habit of collecting briefings!"
Godai Minoru took it and opened it with great interest. Each report was carefully cut out and neatly glued to the paper. When he flipped through it, it was like reading a beautiful special magazine.
"It's amazing. They are both No. 1 and No. 4, and they are very detailed." Minoru Godai exclaimed, and even Yusuke Godai and Ryusuke Higashino came to the side.
"Yes," Shidama Saburo said with some pride: "Since the emergence of unconfirmed life forms, I have collected reports about No. 1 and No. 4. You see, these are their different appearances, all colors. All.”
"These two guys are really powerful. They have eliminated so many of their kind. I think they must be on the side of mankind. But I don't know why, but I always feel that No. 1 has been a little careless recently. The only unconfirmed life forms he has eliminated are One...but I believe they will become more and more powerful."
Listening to Saburo Kadama's words, Godai Yusuke nodded in agreement.
However, Higashino Ryusuke and Godai Minoru slowly changed their expressions and did not look very happy.
them……
What are you worried about?
…
Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Joint Investigation Headquarters.
In the conference room, Chief Matsukura is holding the latest combat meeting on unidentified life forms.
"According to the current intelligence, it has been determined that unconfirmed life forms have the habit of gathering in one place. It can be said that they are similar to a base. Ichichi, please introduce it in detail!"
"Yes." Ichijo Kaoru nodded, then stepped forward and began to explain.
"Similar to the information we have learned so far, they will become the same as humans. The common point is that everyone will have tattoos on their bodies. Since the incidents happened in Tokyo, it can be determined based on the witness information that their base is in the city. Eight places. In these places, several unconfirmed life forms have been discovered lurking in these places since No. 3 appeared. If there is really a so-called group consciousness, it means that their leaders may exist there."
"The leader?" Sakurai sighed with emotion.
"But what is incomprehensible is that once nearby residents discover them, they will immediately move to other places."
Sugita Morimichi touched his chin and said, "Guys with that kind of power should logically have no need to hide from ordinary humans."
Ichijo Kaoru nodded, "About this matter, according to No. 1's intelligence, the Gurungji can only have one participant when playing the game, and the rest must wait and are not allowed to kill at will during this period."
"What a strange rule? But this is not a bad thing for us humans." Sugita Morimichi came to this conclusion after analysis, "If hundreds of unidentified life forms are allowed to kill indiscriminately, the resulting number of victims will be But it’s unimaginable.”
Headquarters Matsukura said after careful consideration, "The unconfirmed life form has appeared on the 20th. The number of sacrifices caused by this, including police officers, has been 257. As police officers, we naturally cannot sit back and watch as more and more people are killed. Human sacrifices. We must find their stronghold no matter what, and use the power of our police to catch them all."
