Tsugami Residence.
This time Ryusuke Higashino finally got his wish and met the real Shoichi Tsugami, or rather the man now named Tetsuya Sawaki.
It's just that the other party's condition didn't look good. He looked like he'd been sweating in a pool, his eyes were bloodshot, and his mental state was extremely bad, but he still managed to show up.
"Mr. Higashino, if your guess is correct, you should be number one. Thank you very much for your help two years ago. Otherwise, I'm afraid Xue Lai..."
"Tsugami, what exactly happened after the Zero Incident two years ago, where are Professor Fuutani and Yukilai?"
Ryusuke Higashino has not forgotten that under his influence, Professor Feng Gu and Yuki Lai did not end up dead, but disappeared.
】
"Please call me Tetsuya Sawaki. The name Tsugami Shoichi no longer belongs to me." Tetsuya Sawaki coughed a few times, and said with force, "Yukirai and the others...were taken away by that person."
"That person?" Dongye frowned, but seeing Sawaki's appearance, he really couldn't let him continue. "Forget it, let's talk about this later. Actually, I have another thing to ask you."
He explained the current situation of everyone on the Tianliang to Tetsuya Sawaki.
Sawaki Tetsu also understood what Ryusuke meant, but was surprised that the mysterious No. 1 in front of him actually understood his plan so well. After a moment of silence, he said: "That person's power... just give me a few more days."
"In that case, I'll take my leave first. This is my current address." Ryusuke Higashino left Polepole's business card and stood up to leave.
"Let me see you off..." Sawaki was about to follow, but he felt dizzy and almost fell down. Excessive mental exhaustion also brought about physical weakness.
Fortunately, Higashino Ryusuke helped him in time.
"Tsu...Mr. Sawaki, if it's really unbearable, you can go and see the heart of a man named Godai Yusuke. It might make you feel better."
"Thank you." Tetsuya Sawaki watched Ryusuke leave with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Yusuke Godai... I remember it."
…
One day has passed since the meeting ended.
Within Tokyo, the activities of the angels are still continuing. At a scene surrounded by a cordon, Hikawa Makoto is investigating together with the people from the first search section.
The cause of death of the deceased was an incision in the neck.
"It looks like just an ordinary cut. The blood vessels and trachea in the neck were cut open in an instant, followed by rapid blood loss leading to death." Kono flipped through his notebook and made a preliminary analysis: "But the strange thing is that the people around him when the eucalyptus occurred I didn't see anything at all, the victim just walked normally and then suddenly fell to the ground, with a large pool of blood flowing from his neck."
Hikawa squatted next to the white line at the scene, and Kono's description quickly matched the traces on the ground one by one.
"It seems like another impossible crime related to unknown. Officer Kono, I remember there was the same death a few hours ago."
"Well... yes, the victim in that case was his brother in the accident. According to the investigation results, there are three brothers in total - only the youngest brother has not been killed now..."
"Then let's stay the same and treat it as a key protection target."
"That's right. Maybe g3 will be a key protection target in the near future." Hojo didn't know when he walked to the glacier. "After all, this is also a perfect opportunity to capture Yajituo, isn't it? Then we can If we control Yajituo as a combat force, we probably won’t need g3. Maybe it will be displayed in a museum.”
Hikawa stood up and looked at Hojo with an evil look.
"Sorry, I made a mistake. There must be other uses for g3. For example, it can at least be used for traffic control, right?"
Toru Hojo walked away with an annoying smile, while Hikawa looked at him without saying a word.
After the on-site investigation, Hikawa returned to the G3 team. The Metropolitan Police Department's advance team also set off to the location of the protected target. However, due to the special nature of the Yajituo capture plan, the G3 team was not allowed to participate in this operation. .
In the central control room of the g-trailer, Binghuo's face didn't look happy even now. It was not because of Hojo's disparagement of him, but more because of the 'Yajitu Capture Plan'. From the bottom of his heart, he could not approve of such a plan. At the same time, he felt depressed that this kind of thing was approaching but he was unable to stop it.
"Officer Ozawa, I just felt for the first time that Officer Hojo is indeed a very annoying person."
"You just realized it now. It's just that he has become more and more annoying recently, especially after he proposed the plan to capture Yajitus."
The entrance to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Inside a police vehicle carrying police.
After the advance team to protect the target set off, Hojo quickly assembled his own capture team.
"All members of the capture team have loaded their gas bombs."
"clear."
However, when he was about to set off, another police car drove in front of Hojo. A thick, dark man wearing a combat police uniform got out of the car. He seemed to be the leader of the car in front of him.
The other party stepped forward and saluted: "Hello, Director Hojo, we are the second mobile team that temporarily joined the action plan under orders from above."
However, Toru Hojo frowned and looked at the man in front of him and the vehicle behind him. He had never seen this group of people in the Metropolitan Police Department. It would be even more unrealistic to say that they were transferred from other local police stations. Their aura was too bad. , they are more like an elite team that has received rigorous training.
"I am fully responsible for this operation. I have not heard of any second team..."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a document was handed to him, and it was indeed signed by the head of the department.
Hojo Toru was speechless, but he was even more hesitant in his heart. Where do these guys come from? Through the glass of the opponent's police car, he could even see several special sniper rifles that even he didn't recognize...
The leader smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will follow Director Hojo's instructions."
Although he was confused, there was no time left for him to think about it, so Hojo turned around and gave the order.
"Set off!"
…
Outside a remote apartment.
The last of the three brothers is here, surrounded by police officers from the advance team constantly patrolling.
After the capture team led by Hojo arrived at the scene, they hid in the surroundings and did not intend to participate in the front-line battle with the unknown.
Until another jackal with blue-gray skin appeared in the police warning range making gestures, Hojo sat in the police car and watched from a distance, picked up the walkie-talkie and talked on the capture team's dedicated channel.
"I am Hojo, unknown has appeared, everyone is ready and waiting for Yajituo to appear."
Beautiful shirt home.
Xiang Yi, who was preparing dinner, suddenly raised his head and looked at the ceiling with a serious expression. The familiar real fish knew that he must have seen those guys again.
"Are you going again?"
"Well, don't worry, I'll be fine." Xiangyi took off his apron and ran out.
On the other side, Ryusuke Higashino, who was about to return to polepole, suddenly stopped, and a picture appeared in the sensor.
It would be fine if it was just a normal scene of Shoichi and Yajitu fighting. Seeing the police force hidden in the dark in the picture, Ryusuke subconsciously felt that something was wrong and looked in that direction.
…
"Bang bang bang!"
At the battle scene, the members of the advance team fired wildly at the unknown. Although they could not kill the opponent, they were able to slightly stop the Jackal.
Jackal's original super-fast running speed is also difficult to use under such a dense firepower network. After all, he only runs fast, not increases his time. In other words, the relative speed of bullets to him is faster after running, causing more damage.
But he couldn't attack these ordinary humans directly, and the two sides briefly became entangled.
Hojo stared at the battlefield. As the motorcycle roared, Yajituo appeared from a distance to join the battle.
"Yajituo has appeared, all groups are in place!"
"clear."
"Wait until he takes care of unknown before taking action."
At this time, Xiang Yi had no idea that he had stepped into a trap and was fighting hard with Lord Jackal.
The surrounding police officers even stopped shooting in order to avoid accidentally injuring Yajituo, but this also gave Venerable Jackal an opportunity to take advantage of his speed. Running at a speed exceeding 500km per hour, Yajituo was overwhelmed for a moment.
However, although the Jackal is fast, its defense is average. In terms of overall strength, Yajituo still wins. Shoichi decisively took out the flame saber from his belt, and his body also transformed into a flame form with stronger perception.
"Scare!" The moment he caught the jackal's movement, Xiang Yi quickly swung his knife.
"Poof -" It looked like the jackal hit the blade. The next second, it fell down and exploded like a corpse.
at the same time.
"The battle begins!"
Following Hojo's order, the arresting team quickly dispatched from the hiding place, and countless guns were secretly pointed at Yajituo who relaxed his vigilance.
Before Xiang Yi could even react to what they were going to do, the terrifying firepower was already leaning on him in the next second. Yajituo's body was shrouded in the smoke of the gas bomb. The severe pain caused Xiang Yi to fall to the ground and fainted briefly.
"Did it succeed...very good." Hojo looked at Yajituo who had stopped moving from a distance. When he was about to order the capture team to come forward and recover him, a figure that unexpectedly appeared suddenly.
The pale purple stag beetle monster, Kuuga, in the form of a newborn titan, suddenly fell from the sky. It relied on its own reinforced defense to block all the bullets that were still shooting at Yajituo, and the warheads fell to the ground with a clanking sound.
Looking at the capture team in the distance with some disappointment, Ryusuke Higashino stood firmly in front of Yajituo.
"It's Kamen Rider No. 1!"
"Officer Hojo, this is the arrest team, what should we do?"
"Are you going to shoot? Requesting instructions."
Toru Hojo clutched the walkie-talkie with a gloomy expression.
Unexpectedly, No. 1 appeared at this time and clearly stood with Yajituo.
In addition to several unknown incidents in the early stages, although there were several sightings of unknown beings eliminated later on, they could not be confirmed because the fighting time was too short, and the police also speculated that No. 1 was responsible.
But it has not happened for a long time that No. 1 was completely exposed to the police's sight like this.
And now, No. 1 is blocking in front of Yajituo.
Hojo looked at Yajituo who was lying on the ground still unconscious behind No. 1 with unwillingness. If the arrest is successful, returning to the Metropolitan Police Department will be a great achievement. The g3 group may be banned, and then even the genius woman with an IQ of 180 will have to admit her talent...
Toru Hojo's eyes turned cold.
"retreat!"
"OK?"
"I said retreat. No. 1 is not our target, and it is not my plan to be an enemy of No. 1." Toru Hojo gave the order in an extremely calm tone, and casually made up a reason and added: "Besides, we did not deal with No. 1 Weapons..."
"boom--!"
Before he could finish his words, a violent gunfire rang out.
The figure of No. 1 in the field of vision shook and fell to his knees after being hit. Hojo Toru's eyes suddenly widened.
"Asshole! Who fired the shot?"
"Officer Hojo, he's from Team 2!"
The captain of the second team confidently said to Toru Hojo: "Director Hojo, don't worry. We have specially prepared enough of the latest nerve fragmentation bombs. Even if it is the former No. 1, we are sure..."
Toru Hojo interrupted him without hesitation and said in a strong tone: "I am the commander-in-chief of this operation. I said - retreat!"
The reason why Yajituo was captured as an enemy was because Yajituo had attacked G3 representing the police. It is not clear whether he is an enemy or a friend. But Hojo had never thought of treating No. 1, who once protected the people, as his enemy.
However, the next second, the so-called second team completely abandoned his orders as the commander-in-chief.
"In that case, please ask Director Hojo not to hinder our actions!" the captain of the second team said coldly.
"What on earth are you..." Hojo's voice shrank suddenly, and he suddenly saw several special sniper rifles appearing in the direction of the second team, as well as nerve-breaking bombs.
These guys are originally here for No. 1.
"shooting!"
The muzzles of several guns spit out tongues of fire, and the captain of the second team's eyes shone with a fiery light.
However……
"Zizi——"
The expected scene of No. 1 being knocked down did not occur. Instead, all the nerve-breaking bombs were captured by an invisible force field, slowly decomposed into particles at a speed visible to the naked eye, and ignited flames out of thin air.
Under the gaze of all the members of the arresting team, a terrifying aura was brewing in front of them.
Higashino Ryusuke slowly stood up. The place where his abdomen was hit was still painful, but for him now, it could not constitute a fatal injury.
The Nerve Breaker Bullet has indeed been updated and iterated, but it is also constantly evolving.
"What a pity. Are only those who once united this headquarters worthy of trust..." As the golden arc danced, Amadam's waist was dyed black, and Kuuga's whole body was instantly wrapped in the flow of black and gold.
The ultimate breath blooms!
The sky seemed to be darkening.
"How is it possible...it is clear from the records left by the Joint Headquarters that the nerve-severing bomb was able to kill No. 49, which even No. 1 could not completely defeat!"
And the autopsy results of that record showed that at the end of Incident Zero, 49 on the Gulangyue Snow Mountain already had power comparable to the ultimate!
Obviously their nerve-breaking bombs have been strengthened based on two years ago...
The captain of the second team couldn't believe the scene in front of him, and desperately wanted to continue the attack.
However, Kuuga, who had turned into black gold, just looked at him from a distance. The captain of the second team suddenly stood up, and his mind buzzed like an explosion.
All he could see was a pair of huge dark red compound eyes, and then his world was destroyed.
The other members of the second team were not spared. Their spirits were shattered in an instant. Fear made them unable to suppress their screams, as if they were crazy.
murderous look!
Higashino Ryusuke is still deliberately reducing the power he releases, otherwise these people may die on the spot under the influence of murderous intent.
"The weather...has changed!"
Someone noticed that the sky, which had been obscured by dark clouds at some point, was clearly sunny just now.
Under the dark sky, the air was so oppressive that it made people breathless.
"Boom card!"
Several bolts of lightning exploded in the sky, destroying all the weapons of the second team, but they were able to control it without damaging anyone's life.
Toru Hojo ignored all the frantic members of the second team near him, looked at the terrifying figure in the field and twitched his lips. Although he had not thought about arresting No. 1, the power displayed by the other party was like a natural disaster. He was incomparably shocked.
So why would these idiots bring their ideas to No. 1?
"Director Hojo, we..."
"Take the team." Hojo looked around in disgust, "Take these guys with you by the way!"
…
On the other side, after a brief rest, Sawaki returned to the room again.
The mysterious symbol on the back of the hand of the young man in black lights up.
Sawaki Tetsu also entered into the overwhelming pain. The voices of countless people in the world include both beauty and pain, but pain always occupies the vast majority.
Or loneliness, or sadness, or indifference, or fear, or anxiety, or guilt, or hatred... all kinds of emotions seemed to tear his soul into pieces.
Sawaki remembered what Ryusuke Higashino had said before, and tried to explore the heart of the man named Yusuke Godai - it was like seeing a ray of blue sky behind the thick dark clouds, and he did feel a little more relaxed.
But then, Tetsuya was pulled into another darkness as he entered the next person's heart.
It was like rolling into a quagmire, trying hard to open his eyes but unable to wake up. The darkness and suffocation that surrounded him all the time made him feel maddening.
"Where is this place...who am I?"
"It hurts! My body..."
"So annoying, so annoying, so annoying. Damn, damn, damn...it seems like killing, killing..."
"What's wrong with me? Why do I have such thoughts?"
"Unidentified Life Experimental Subject No. 10...what does it mean?"
Through the translucent experimental cabin, Mo Hu could see a researcher in a white coat observing him.
"...Experimental subject, normal."
…
(ps: Toru Hojo’s behavior in this chapter should be in line with his character.
In my opinion, one thing is very clear about this person: that is, he can be said to be quite honest with the friends he has recognized and has no bad intentions. But for people who don't agree with him, such as hostile parties or chaotic relationships, he has a lot of little tricks.
For example, Ozawa Orange. Judging from Hojo's evaluation of Ozawa in the early stage of TV, he recognized Ozawa Orange very much. So even if he was criticized by Ozawa or kicked by Ozawa, Hojo didn't go out of his way to retaliate against Ozawa. At most, it was just because of the incident with Hikawa.
In addition, for example, when they were not dealing with each other in the beginning, they were always looking for trouble and stumbling upon themselves; but in the later stage, after they recognized the glacier, when the glacier was injured in the battle and his eyesight was blurred, he clearly said before, "I won't care about you if something happens to you." , but ended up running to the G trailer to direct the invisible glacier battle.
The other one is the Yajitu capture plan. Hojo Toru, who is unidentified, can attack without mercy, but after knowing that Xiangyi is Yajitu, he no longer feels sorry for Xiangyi, because he also knows that Xiangyi is a What kind of person.
It can be said that to get along with this kind of guy, you must either become a mutually recognized friend or someone he respects, otherwise he will become a very annoying guy to you. )
(ps2, next episode preview:
Toru Hojo: No, Mr. Headmaster, I don’t understand. This plan is too stupid!
Director: Oh? It seems that Director Hojo, you really have some special personal feelings for No. 1? )
