Hakusan Town, Asama's house, 9:12 am.
After yesterday's investigation headquarters meeting ended, a few minutes ago, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department issued guidelines for personnel from various police stations in the Tokyo area to deal with Unidentified Life Form No. 46, which mentioned that No. 46's killing target is likely. They are human police, hoping to be more vigilant and ready for battle at any time...
Shota Asama had a rare day off yesterday, but as soon as he got up early this morning, he received a call from his colleague who informed him of the incident. His originally relaxed mood suddenly became tense again.
Speaking of which, he is a police officer, but he works in the intelligence department. Facing unconfirmed events for a long time in this position, although it is a bit harder, it is still much safer than front-line combatants.
It wasn't until the last time he met No. 48 that he truly realized the feeling of being on the verge of death. Fortunately, he did not give up his dignity as a human being until the end.
But now I have received such a notice - the next target of No. 46 is actually them...
The rented room on the second floor was empty. Wang Shen, who passed the exam, went to the hospital early to start his career as a trainee doctor, while Higashino Ryusuke went to polepole to work every day.
But at this time, Higashino Ryusuke was not in polepole. When he received a call from Tsubaki Shuichi in the store, he thought that it might be related to a physical examination he had not long ago.
So he asked for leave from Saburo Shidasama and went out, until he came to Shuichi Chun's office at Kanto Medical Hospital.
When he opened the door, Chun Shuichi was already waiting for him. After hearing the noise, Chun looked straight at the computer and said without raising his head: "Higashiya, you are here, come and take a look."
The computer screen turned on quietly. Ryusuke walked over and saw a complete CT photo displayed on it. However, the human body in this photo had a belt-like effect on the waist, with "nerves" spreading up and down. The circle in the center was pitch black and seemed undetectable.
"this is mine……?"
Chun Xiuyi closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, exhaled slowly, and said in a heavy tone: "Although I had expected it, your physical condition is more serious than imagined."
He adjusted the CT photo to the position of the head. It can be clearly seen here that most of the branches of the "nerves" extending from the waist have reached the top of the neck and will soon enter the brain. Moreover, there is already one Breaking through the brain barrier and connecting to the brain.
"Remember in the previous examination, I mentioned that your condition is more dangerous than the fifth generation. The nerve plexus extending from the waist is not far from the brain. Judging from the current situation, they have begun to break through the last part of the brain. Barrier.”
What will happen after the brain is completely wiped out? Will it turn into a killing weapon like Kuromekuga, or will it become a cruel species like the Gurungi? No one knows.
At the end of the TV series, the fifth generation who became the ultimate may have also faced such a problem. Here he chose to continue on the journey and spent 13 years filling the sacred spring again, but what should he do?
Chun dragged her chin and asked with some worry: "Higashino-kun, haven't you had any special changes recently? After all, something like this has happened to your body..."
"Change?" Ryusuke Higashino frowned and couldn't help but recall the "sixth sense" that had appeared inexplicably a few times recently. He always vaguely felt that he could sense things that were about to happen or related to him.
Even when he had a special brain conversation with Gohara Tadashi in the Yichuan Building, he always had a feeling that he could do it.
Can it really be done? Thinking like this, Ryusuke couldn't help but want to give it a try. So he opened his eyes wide and tried to think of a sentence in his mind to see if he could convey this idea directly to Chun's mind.
But, what should I say... I have it!
"Doctor Chun, wake up! Don't have any thoughts about Miss Sakurako anymore. Everyone can see that Sakurako likes Godai..."
The air suddenly froze.
After a while, Chun Shuichi, who still didn't hear the answer, felt strange, "Hello, Higashikata? What's wrong? Don't you feel any changes..."
When he turned his head, he happened to see Ryusuke staring at him with two big eyes, with an expression of exertion on his face, as if he was trying to hold something in.
"Ah!" Chun was immediately startled. He leaned back, then narrowed his eyes with a black question mark on his face and asked, "I said Touya, what are you doing?"
"Huh? Oh, it's nothing..."
This reaction is wrong... Ryusuke retracted his thoughts with regret on his face. It seems that Chun didn't hear his thoughts at all. Otherwise, he should have just raised his face and asked himself why he suddenly said something about Sakurako.
Sure enough, I am not yet able to achieve telepathy through quantum control like a lion.
"But there are still changes." He said thoughtfully: "Recently, my senses have become much more sensitive again. Now the information I can detect as a human is almost twice as much as before."
Chun Shuichi simply didn't mind his strange behavior just now, but nodded and said: "This kind of neural tissue is originally designed to transform the human body to make it stronger. Such changes are considered normal. The only question is whether it will affect Your mental state, emotional awareness and other aspects cannot be determined for the time being, so you should always be on guard for any signs of losing control."
Just in case, Tsubaki Shuichi also specifically told Higashino Ryusuke to come every half month to monitor the progress of the spread of the nerve plexus. After adding a lot of nagging precautions, Ryusuke was released. .
Ryusuke was tired: I always feel that they all understand Kuuga better than me. Could it be that Kuuga actually has an instruction manual like Kamen Rider Birth, but the instruction manual was taken away by Tsubaki and the others before it left the factory?
It wasn't until around ten o'clock in the morning that Tsubaki Shuichi's "illness" seminar came to an end, and Higashino Ryusuke breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave.
"By the way, Doctor Chun." Before leaving, he suddenly stopped and said seriously: "I think... let's not tell anyone else about this."
"For...forget it, I know." Chun reluctantly agreed. Originally he wanted to ask the reason, but on second thought, it was just the old-fashioned way of not wanting others to worry, or wanting to bear the responsibility alone. idea.
This kind of thing was already familiar to him when he met Kaoru Ichijo in high school. He was a cold guy who pretended to be cold all day long. If anything happened, his first thought was to fight it alone without hesitation.
There is also Godai, who was so injured when he fought Locust No. 6 for the first time, but he still pretended to go back as if nothing had happened. At that time, he had just become a hollow self, and his self-healing power was not that strong...
In short, to a certain extent, these guys are very similar to each other! Chun looked up at the ceiling and sighed in his heart.
