Setagaya-ku, Tokyo.
Kaoru Ichijo looked up at the southwest sky. Thick dark clouds shrouded that corner of the sky. Thunder roared, and lightning as thick as a water snake penetrated the sky and the earth, clearly visible even in the daytime.
Godai, who was in the Kuuga posture, was also looking from a distance. His perception was several times higher than that of ordinary people, making him have sharper senses than Kaoru Ichijo. At the same time, he was also more aware of how terrifying the power that could cause celestial phenomena was.
Those Gurungi had already evacuated when they were not paying attention. In fact, Ichijo noticed it, but after gritting his teeth and thinking about it, he still gave up the pursuit.
This battle has been very profitable, the Grungki have suffered heavy losses, and the rest is hard work.
Ichijo is worried that if they continue to pursue them, they will only force the opponent to fight. And without a powerful fighter like Higashino Ryusuke, how much advantage can they have against Gulangi? Maybe it will be counterproductive and only increase the sacrifice.
The most urgent task is to find Ryusuke.
He quickly contacted the headquarters, and soon formed a temporary search team and chased towards the mountainous area, with Godai also following him.
…
In the Kanto Medical University Hospital, Wang Shen, who was supposed to be writing medical records in the duty room, seemed a little panicked.
Ever since the radio broadcast about the battle in Setagaya District, he had become frowning, but when his companions asked about it, he didn't say a word.
At this time, he was standing by the window, wandering back and forth. Because the angle here was not very good, he could not see the rolling thunderclouds in the distance.
However, this did not make Wang Shen relax, and instead made him even more nervous. Some kind of deep and fierce murderous aura came from hundreds of kilometers away. This lingering power alone stimulated his mental induction ability to passively activate, sending him frantic "danger" signals.
This feeling is like countless villains surrounding his brain. Each villain holds a nail and a hammer in his hand, and then pierces the nail into the cerebral cortex, and the hammer hits hard and continuously. , jingle, jingle~~
The tingling sensation continued all the time, and Wang Shen's brows twisted into knots due to irritability and uneasiness, making it difficult to calm down.
He looked thoughtfully towards the southwest, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he murmured: "Dongye, you must not let anything happen to you..."
Bunkyo District, polepole restaurant.
The atmosphere in the store without Godai and Ryusuke also became solemn. The smiles on the faces of Saburo Saburo and Asahina Nana disappeared and they stayed in their respective positions silently.
Shi Yusaburo looked out the window in some trance. The sky in the southwest corner was gloomy, and the clouds seemed to be expanding. However, the sun here was still hanging hot in the sky.
"The weather seems to be changing. Will it rain? Yesterday's weather forecast didn't say it..." Shitama Saburo said to himself.
After a long time, he came back to his senses as if remembering something, and shouted into the store: "Nana, go and take back the clothes hanging outside."
"Oh." Nana responded dully, got up and opened the store door and went out...
…
In the southwestern mountainous area, more than half an hour had passed when several elites from the joint search headquarters arrived here.
Not only did the dark clouds in the sky not disperse, but they became even more powerful, indicating that the battle there was still fiercely going on.
A few kilometers away from the battlefield, light rain began to fall in the sky. As the police officers approached, the rain became heavier and heavier until it turned into a heavy downpour and poured on everyone's heads.
"Shuashuashua..."
There was no sunlight in the sky obscured by dark clouds, and heavy rains turned the mountain roads muddy and slippery. The police who entered the mountains were no longer able to use transportation and had to trek forward on foot.
Kaoru Ichijo's whole body was soaked by the rain, and his hair was wet on his scalp. He wiped the rain from his face, opened his mouth and breathed heavily, and raised his head again to confirm the location of his destination.
In fact, in such a dim environment with heavy rain, the vision has become extremely poor, and it is difficult to identify the direction, but it is very simple to determine the location of the battlefield.
Because right in front of them, several kilometers away, thunderclouds formed a huge vortex and slowly rotated. Thunder and lightning were raging, and thick thunder pillars reached across the sky and the earth, turning the area hundreds of meters in radius into an electric field.
Ichijo determined the direction and was about to move on, but Godai suddenly stopped in front of him. Ichijo could only see Godai's mouth opening and closing.
"Crash!" The rain was falling hard. Countless raindrops fell on the forest every second, on the leaves, on the dead branches on the ground, on the clothes of the police officers... everyone My ears were occupied by this noisy sound.
Godai could only shout out loud enough for Kaoru Ichijo to hear clearly, "Mr. Ichijo, it's too dangerous, you can't go any further!"
"But..." Kaoru Ichijo choked, but he did not deny Godai's words.
He is a rational person, so he also understands how dangerous it would be to continue moving forward with human capabilities. Ichijo turned around and glanced at his colleagues who were enduring the wind and rain with him at this time. Everyone described themselves as extremely embarrassed. He turned his head away and looked into the distance unwillingly.
Godai finally patted him on the shoulder and decisively turned around and headed towards the dense forest.
Ichijo was startled and quickly reached out to pull it, but it was in vain.
Godai's movements were much more agile than he thought. He shouted anxiously behind Godai, "Godai, what are you doing? Come back quickly!"
Godai did not look back, and only left one sentence behind him: "I will bring Ryujiesang back, I can do it! Only I can do it..."
Kaoru Ichijo was speechless, watching his back gradually disappearing into the rain and woods, clenching his fists tightly.
At this time, he became more and more aware of his own weakness and powerlessness. From the beginning, what he wanted to protect was everyone, including the fifth generation...
"Boom!" There was a thunder, and the rain became heavier. There would be huge hidden dangers if we continued to stay here. Kaori Ichijo reluctantly led the search team to evacuate and waited anxiously at the foot of the mountain.
In the city, because the police reported that the crisis in Setagaya was over, many citizens breathed a sigh of relief and returned to normal life again.
But few people know that when they can live carefree in the light, there are people who fight desperately for them in the shadows.
The fifth generation is like this, Ryusuke is like this, and the thousands of policemen like Kaoru Ichijo are even more like this...
Heavy rain and thunderstorms continued all day and night. No one as far away as Tokyo knew what was happening in the mountains to the southwest. Even the meteorological observatory rarely provided an explanation for this situation.
…
Three days later.
When Ryusuke regained consciousness again, he saw the familiar white ceiling the first time he opened his eyes. The surrounding walls were as monotonous and white as ever. Even the quilt and the bottle hanging on the bedside looked familiar.
"Ah...here it is again..." He rubbed his temples with a headache.
Needless to say, with that level of fighting, he must have landed himself in the hospital again.
However, I am really lucky to be alive.
And looking around, this was the same ward where he lay down last time. How did he know, you ask?
In fact, it was because when he was hospitalized last time, Ryusuke Higashino once finished eating a peach and wanted to throw the peach core. As a result, he accidentally used too much force and made a small hole as big as a peach core in the opposite corner. Most people didn't pay much attention to it. , but he saw some guilty consciences at a glance...
There are no obvious injuries on the whole body, but the internal organs still feel severe pain. I don't know the extent of the injury, but it seems that it will take time to fully recover.
He turned and looked out the window. The sun was very bright.
"What time is it now? Forget it, I don't want to worry about it..." Ryusuke put his head back on the pillow and found a comfortable position to lie down.
Although he didn't know how long he slept, the injuries on his body that had not yet recovered still made him sleepy. He needed to sleep to reduce the energy consumption of biological activities, so that more energy could be used to repair the body.
As soon as he lay down, he was already snoring within a minute and fell into a deep sleep again.
