JR Utsunomiya Station. 10:50am.
After school, Kirishima Taku came here alone. Dressed in black, he walked alone among the crowd.
He silently came to the stop sign to check the train number, and then silently went to the automatic ticket vending machine to buy a ticket. I asked the staff for the route, and then got on the train silently.
The carriage swayed slightly with the track, and he leaned against the window and stared at the passing scenery outside the window in a daze.
The teacher said, don't go to Tokyo unless there is something important.
But in the young man's heart, maybe what he is facing now is considered important! In order to find that answer, he was willing to risk unidentified life forms.
At the joint search headquarters, the police officers who had not been on duty for a long time were tense today.
Because just an hour ago, the surveillance system located near the railway captured an unidentified life form with a body length of more than two meters. It has wings and can fly, but it does not emit ultrasonic waves when flying like No. 14.
Faced with his attack, the police did not even have special tracking methods.
Soon after, notices of strange deaths in various regions were compiled and sent to the minister.
Nine people were killed in each area where the incident occurred, almost simultaneously and all from myocardial infarction. (Tokyo has 23 districts under its jurisdiction. The owl monster’s task is to kill 9 people in each district and must not stay in a certain district for more than 23 minutes.)
There is no doubt that the new game of those Gurungjis has begun!
All police officers were dispatched urgently.
…
Within Bunkyo Ward.
It was close to 11 o'clock when Godai and Ryusuke returned to polepole. By the way, I helped the boss buy a few dishes that he had entrusted to me when I went out.
Because the relationship between life forms has not been confirmed, polepole's business has not been very good this month. Regular customers have stopped coming for safety reasons. Even though there has been some improvement in recent days due to the absence of unconfirmed relationships for a long time, the overall situation is still very bleak.
So Ryusuke and Godai had more time to run out and do their own things.
Parking the motorcycle outside the store, the two were about to go in, but the communication device on the motorcycle suddenly turned on, and then Kaoru Ichijo informed them of the appearance of the new Koroki.
But because the unconfirmed life form this time is a guy flying at high altitude, it moves very fast and the pattern of its activities is unclear. The police were unable to trace him, so his location is not yet known.
However, the police have started to alert the entire city. Kaoru Ichijo told them that they would contact them in time if there was any situation, and Godai and Ryusuke were on standby at any time.
Although I had more time to run out, it was still a bit late today. After entering the door, Godai and Ryusuke, who came back late, were questioned by their father and Nana. In the end, Godai took out two more empty belt buckles to deal with them.
As soon as I put down those big and small bags, I got a call from Godai Yusuke. The person looking for him was Mr. Kanzaki Shoji, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Kanzaki was calling a public phone in Utsunomiya Station. As soon as he got through, he greeted Godai, "Godai, are you still working hard with your 2000 skills?"
Godai smiled and said: "Fortunately, how is your spirit lately, teacher?"
"I'm pretty good, but there's something I'd be relieved if you could go." Kanzaki's words became serious.
"Have any unconfirmed life forms appeared in Tokyo recently?"
"He showed up, what happened?"
"What?!" Kanzaki's face became solemn and he explained: "Actually, he was a student in my class who seemed to have gone to Tokyo alone. Other teachers accidentally saw him entering Utsunomiya Station alone, and then contacted me . I was very concerned, and after asking the staff here, they said that a little boy went to Asakusabashi Station.”
Kanzaki said worriedly: "His parents were out of town and couldn't be contacted. He was supposed to go to a private school during the holiday, but I asked there and they said that the child called to ask for leave."
Godai listened carefully, "Asakusa Bridge is..."
"It was the former hometown of the child's father. After his grandmother passed away two years ago, the elders in the family had a dispute over inheritance. Now it has become a parking lot. But in the winter vacation homework three years ago, the child had Wrote memories of having fun playing there.”
"Is that so?" Godai nodded.
"There's another thing I'm worried about. In the child's composition today, he wrote something like "There is no place for me."
"There is no place where I am..." Godai repeated, "Anyway, let me try to find it. What kind of child is that?"
On the phone, Kanzaki Shoji described Kirishima Taku's appearance in detail, and finally said gratefully: "Sorry for the trouble, I will come as soon as possible."
Ryusuke brought a cup of coffee and sat next to Godai. His enhanced hearing made him aware of everything. While sipping the coffee, he said: "If you want to find someone, go as soon as possible. I'm not very good at this. Kurangji. Leave it to me."
…
Setagaya District, high in the sky that is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, the figure of the strange owl is hovering here.
He quietly looked down, selecting his prey, then raised the blow dart in his hand and confidently launched an attack. Sharp arrows formed from saliva and food residue in the stomach flew downward silently.
On the overpass, pedestrians were still coming and going as usual. Some people suddenly patted their necks, as if they had been pricked by something.
The owl monster landed on the top of a nearby building and looked confidently towards the overpass.
Suddenly, several people among the pedestrians fell to the ground without a sound, no more, no less, exactly 9 people.
The people around were startled and clamored to rush forward to check the situation and call the emergency number.
A man wrapped tightly in a long scarf passed by the nine corpses, dragging a strange abacus in his hand to complete the count.
The man nodded towards the building in the distance. The owl monster gave a confident smile and flew to the next area again.
The victim appeared again, and Ryusuke immediately received the news and rushed to Setagaya District.
The communication equipment on the motorcycle passed through the notification on the police main channel: "The unconfirmed life form suspected to be No. 37 flew from the Setagaya area to Shinjuku. It was witnessed by police officers who were on alert. Please contact the Shinjuku area. Police cars patrolling on guard.”
A message came immediately after, "Ryujiesang, where have you been?"
"It's near Ichigaya now."
"Just in time, let's go to the Cape Building. No. 37's speed is too fast for us to attack. If we use the power of that Pegasus, can we catch the sound of his wings and attack."
"I understand." Ryusuke agreed and drove the motorcycle towards the place mentioned by Ichijo.
