Legend has it that in this area of Lake Sanno, as early as the Jomon period, there were highly civilized tribes living here in the distant super-ancient period.
The tribe's villages are often attacked by evil and terrifying creatures, but every time, a sacred war department appears to save the village.
It is unknown whether the warrior was a human being or some other more special creature, but people worshiped him like a god, and in order to thank the warrior, he made a huge statue and sunk it to the bottom of the lake.
Ryo Weihara, who had followed Saukeko for a day, finally found a chance to talk again, but only listened to Saukeko tell a legend about Lake Sanno.
To be honest, Ryo doesn't have a good impression of legends, myths and the like. The so-called power given by God to humans only turns humans into monsters. That is not something worth pursuing.
Sitting by the lake and watching the dusk gradually turn the lake into pitch black, Liang was a little confused.
He has actually gradually come to accept that he has become a monster, but what happens after that?
Investigate the cause of his father's death? Or find the person behind all this? Or follow a senior like No. 1 and learn to become a mature warrior.
These seemed to be what he needed to do, but they seemed unnecessary.
Even if you decide to say goodbye to the past, the future will not become clear all of a sudden.
Still need to find it...
…
After the morning meeting, Makoto Hikawa did not go directly to the unconfirmed countermeasures team to resume his position, but took the time to go to polepole.
Only Higashino Ryusuke and Uncle Tamasaburo were busy in the store today, while Kana returned to his rental house to rest after Ryusuke helped ask for leave.
That Higashino Ryusuke is the only person he knows so far who seems to know the unknown very well, and Hikawa wants to verify some conjectures with him.
"So...please ask, is unknown really afraid of humans?"
"It's amazing that you made such a bold inference, Officer Hikawa." Ryusuke Higashino handed a cup of cooked coffee to Hikawa and said, "Although the logic of Unknown's actions is not entirely like this, it does contain elements of fear of humans. Inside.”
To be precise, those guys are afraid of human beings who will become Yajita after awakening. If more and more humans begin to awaken, it will almost be a disaster for the angels.
"Thank you." Bingglai said apologetically while tasting the coffee: "But I'm sorry, Mr. Higashino, I didn't find any important clues about the matter you entrusted. It seems that the international student participated in a special incident before disappearing. The specifics are It’s beyond comprehension.”
"That's it, thank you very much."
Hikawa Makoto looked at the time and then said goodbye. The Zebra Unknown has not yet been eliminated, and the Metropolitan Police Department still regards the victim's wife as a key protection target. As the equipment operator of G3, Glacier is always on standby and also needs to participate in this mission.
The wind chimes at the door swayed, and Ryo Abihara and Makoto Hikawa walked into the store and passed by each other. Ryo recognized Hikawa as the policeman who tried his best to protect him and Mayumi last time, so he stopped for a moment and looked at Hikawa's leaving figure and tapped lightly. He nodded to express his gratitude.
"Senior..." Ryo came to the counter and explained to Tono what he had experienced in the past two days, and took out the Death Note. Liang did not mention the news of his father's death. Death was not something worth publicizing in his eyes, and he did not want to be sympathized with for such a thing.
Ryusuke Higashino glanced at the names on the note and determined that the personnel on the Tianliang had not changed. However, the appearance of this note, which was an important prop in the original plot, also meant that Ryo's father was dead.
In fact, Ryo's father passed away just a few days ago, and Ryusuke also vaguely sensed the situation that night - the frustrated and desperate middle-aged man suddenly clutched his chest in pain, staggered and sat down on the cold bench in front of the station, until his body collapsed. The temperature gradually became the same as a bench in the cold wind.
He did not directly encounter an unknown attack, but suddenly lost his vital signs.
This kind of killing method reminds Ryusuke of the porcupine Gurungi. The way he kills is to bury small thorn-like porcupine quills into the victim's brain in advance. As time goes by, the porcupine quills will gradually grow until the victim's brain tissue is destroyed. die. It can also be shown that the perpetrator is just watching from an unknown place, while the victim ends his life in pain and struggle.
Oh, by the way, I suddenly remembered that the porcupine Grunge in this world was killed by him before he even had time to play the game, so that’s okay.
Of course, it is worth noting that there is a similar guy in Unknown, a Scorpion Lord - his impossible crime method is to use a poisonous needle with an extended head to pierce the victim's neck and inject it into the victim's neck. The metal piece that robbed the body of heat caused it to show signs of freezing to death about 24 hours later.
"Anyway," Ryusuke closed the notebook and handed it back, "The list above is about a major accident. The people on the list have long been the targets of those guys, and these people have to hide something in order to survive. , if we insist on insisting on the truth, it might cost them their lives."
"So my father also..."
Ryusuke did not deny it, "In addition, these people will unite for self-protection. It is best to find their secret base. But investigating things related to them will inevitably lead to confrontation with those monsters. Ryo, are you really good at this?" Are you ready?"
"No problem, I have nothing to do now anyway." Liang replied indifferently.
"There is one more thing I must tell you." Ryusuke's expression became serious, "Although you have gained that ability, it is not complete. Once you completely fight with that attitude, your life will be overdrawn. "
Liang opened his mouth, but no words came out.
"When you feel that what you do is worth it even if you pay for your life, then it is what you think is right. Ryo, you have to remember that the final decision of whether to fight or not is in your hands."
As for the rest, I'll cover it for you.
Watching Ryo leave, Ryusuke said in his heart. He doesn't want Ryo to cower because of fear of death. He fights bravely, doesn't flinch when he is injured, and doesn't regret even if he dies in battle. This is the real Ryo Weihara.
He hoped that Ryo could grow up from his tragic fate, and he would also help Ryo deal with the aftermath. Although he said that there was a risk of death in Ryo's battle, Ryuusuke would not ignore it if it really came to that point.
"If you go to beg Douzhen then, you won't be rejected, right? If you can't do that, just go and beg True Fish..."
Yeah, perfect plan.
…
Tsugami Residence.
The long-haired man in the living room paced anxiously, looking at the painting on the wall from time to time - against the black background, the dazzling white Yajituo coat of arms seemed to break through the dark curtain.
The man had already had a premonition in his heart that the supreme existence had already come to the world.
But he hasn't found it yet.
The fate of human beings is like a thread controlled in the hands of that being. If possible, he would like to get a piece of the thread from the hands of that being, which is also a glimmer of hope for all human beings.
No, not just humans, but also a glimmer of hope for Yajita.
"Do you want to find me?"
A whisper like a sigh sounded in the ears, and just a moment of pure light flashed, and a mysterious young man in black sat on the sofa in the living room.
The power of darkness, fight for truth!
The man suddenly became solemn, walked slowly to Douzhen's side, and stood quietly.
Douzhen suddenly became interested in some pieces of paper on the coffee table in front of him. He picked up a few pieces and started playing an origami game under the watchful eyes of the man.
Douzhen seemed to have a child-like smile on his face, and several paper boats were born in his hands.
"In ancient times, floods flooded the world. A wise man among the people prayed to me and told me about his suffering and hope. I inspired him, so he led the people to build a big ship and escaped the disaster of annihilation."
"Would you like to take a boat ride too?"
"No, I don't want to take the boat." The man tried to behave appropriately.
"So, what do you want to do?"
Why do you say "again"?
The man composed himself, "I just want to understand, understand people, understand myself, and understand everything."
"So that's it." Douzhen chuckled, "That wise man from ancient times, people called him a prophet, a sage, a knower, and an awakened one... From this point of view, what you want to do is this A prophet of the times."
The man does not deny that in the presence of God, any intention of concealing something seems ridiculous.
"Is your name Tsugami Shoichi?"
"Tsugami Shoichi..." After the man was briefly absent-minded, his eyes lowered, "I have given up on this name. Now my name is Sawaki Tetsuya."
"Then, I understand. My, the prophet..."
