knight starts with empty me

Chapter 150 The Guy in the Shadows
The old community was full of noise, several police cars gathered here, the voice of wireless communication staggered and rattled in a walkie-talkie on his chest.Those are other colleagues from the Joint Search Headquarters and the police in this jurisdiction.

"I'm one, please come here."

After saying this, Kaoru turned off the walkie-talkie. In this dark place, the back of Yukari sitting there blankly was seen by Tono and the others, and they had no choice but to leave like this.

Walking on the gravel-covered ground, it took less than a minute to walk back to the place where the motorcycle was parked, but several people felt that the long time was annoying.

The five generations who had been silent for a long time suddenly stopped, and said emotionally, "Long Jiesang, why do creatures like Gu Langji exist..."

Sure enough, even Godai couldn't help feeling angry for such a guy, the guy who ruined other people's smiles!
Although his fist has been loosened, it is because no matter how angry he is, he cannot let his fist continue to clenched to face the person he wants to protect.

"I don't know..." Higashino Ryusuke replied in a muffled voice, "I haven't found the answer. However, if they really shouldn't exist, we can eliminate them..."

Higashino Ryusuke was talking, but suddenly noticed a familiar figure quietly leaving in the distance.

Asama... Shota?
Why is it here?Ryusuke couldn't help frowning, isn't he a member of the intelligence department?
An increasingly bad feeling appeared in his heart, and he turned to look at Kaoru.

"Mr. Yiyi, I have something to ask you..."

……

At night, when Higashino Ryusuke returned to Asama's house, there were only Granny Asama and Satoko at home, Shota was not at home as usual, and Wang Shen hadn't been back for a month because of school affairs.

After a while, Shota Asama called, but said that he didn't need to work overtime today and would be back soon.

This is a bit unexpected, Xiangta has been working overtime for more than a month, and the number of times he returns home from get off work can be counted on one hand.

However, from the great battle in Setagaya Ward to the appearance of No.40 No. [-], there was almost a one-month gap without any unconfirmed living body incidents. Why do we need to work overtime at such a time?
While Higashino Ryusuke was thinking, the little girl Lizi came over with a bunch of washed grapes.

"Brother Longjie, I'll eat for you."

"Ah, thank you." Dongye picked one and threw it into his mouth, and said with a smile, "Well, it's very sweet!"

However, Xiao Lizi was only happy for a while, and then frowned his thin eyebrows in distress, put down the fruit plate and sat beside Ryusuke.

"what happened?"

"Brother Long Jie, will Dad be easily injured at work?"

"Hmm...why do you ask that suddenly?"

"Because the father who came back last time has become different!" Lizi said, waving his little hand and gesticulating: "Usually my father touches my head with his right hand, but last time he used his left hand. I wonder if Dad's right hand was injured..."

Long Jie was stunned for a moment, his mind became more and more clear about a certain guess!
There was a full moon hanging outside the window, and the moon was shining brightly.

Outside the deserted factory, black spots in the shape of vultures hovered under the sky illuminated by the bright moon. After falling to the ground, they turned back into the appearance of a scarf man, and walked into the dark interior of the factory with an abacus in their hands.

The process of the game ended in only three days, and the vulture announced the ending of the first Gulangi in the coffin of darkness to the rose girl here.

The rose girl in a white dress stepped out of the darkness, stroked the ring on her finger, and said to her back: "Zeragu's game has failed, and you are next, Sarubo."

After the words fell, a figure in a police uniform appeared from the shadow behind him, and on his abdomen, there was a jet-black ghost-mask belt.

……

"Wow!"

Shota Asama thrust his head out of the water, and finally got rid of the feeling of drowning and suffocation.

"Huh...huh...!" Panting in horror, he opened his eyes suddenly, but found that he was clearly lying on the tatami at home intact, and the alarm clock above his head was only one minute away from eighth. Clicked.

how come? !

Just now, was it a dream...

Shota sat up straight, staring at the half-open door in a daze for a while, until the alarm rang a minute later and woke him up.

The sky was already bright, after washing and dressing, Xiangta came to the window thinking, he couldn't remember when he came back last night at all.

dream?No, it's definitely not that simple!
Not long ago, he had already noticed his own abnormality - he would always lose his memory for a period of time inexplicably, and some unreasonable memories popped up afterwards to fill the vacancy, but he knew that those memories were all fake.

Xiangta pondered silently, when did this abnormality start?

I remember that five months ago, he received an order from the Joint Search Headquarters to join the Intelligence Department, and when he first took office, he was entrusted by Minister Matsukura to investigate the true identity of No. [-].

To say that the most suspicious thing for him at that time was the new tenant who suddenly came to his house, that person named Higashino Ryusuke.

But when Locust No. [-] appeared and snatched her daughter Lizi, Higashino Ryusuke rushed out single-handedly and rescued Lizi intact. Since then, this suspicion has deepened.

Of course, Xiangta did not do anything outrageous or offensive. On the one hand, it was suspected that No. [-] saved his daughter; Who to question.

The real confirmation of identity was that after No. 2000 was eliminated, Ryusuke Higashino drove back a brand new locomotive one day, which was a new locomotive TRCS-[-]A equipped by the Metropolitan Police Department.

After Shota's silent investigation, it was confirmed that the car was the same one called by the police officer Kaoru who searched the headquarters.

Afterwards, when he reported the results of the investigation to the head of the department, he suddenly lost consciousness.

When he came back to his senses again, he had already walked out of the minister's office, and he clearly had the whole process of reporting to the minister in his memory, but he had a strong feeling that that person was not him!
After that, this kind of situation became more and more common. Sometimes after working for a day, he returned home and lay down in a daze...but he woke up in the lounge of the Metropolitan Police Department the next day. I worked overtime at the police station and never went back...

Occasionally, colleagues ask him if he has been ill recently and his memory is bad, because he has not done a lot of entrusted work, but he himself does not remember when he received those entrustments...

When he looked in the mirror, he was clearly the same in the mirror, but at a certain moment, he seemed to be able to see someone else in his own reflection!
All of this gave him the illusion that someone was replacing him!From appearance, conversation, to work, life, and family, take away everything that originally belonged to him!

Returning from memory to reality, Shota took a deep breath and then let it out.

Yesterday, when he received the news of No. 47 confirming his death, he felt palpitations for no reason. Especially when he saw the photos of the scene and a summary report of Xun Xun, he faintly felt that he would be the next one...

(Because the general and others have been witnessed in the battle of Setagaya, the number of Gu Langji has also reached No. 46. Although the jellyfish that appeared later played the game earlier than the general, it was numbered No. 47.)
It was time to go to work, he took out the gun from the police uniform, loaded the prepared muscle relaxation ammunition, then packed his clothes and went out.

Come on, whoever it is!
He is ready to meet the enemy, even those who want to take everything from him, he will not compromise easily!
...By the window on the second floor, Ryusuke Higashino watched Shota Asama riding a police patrol car to the Metropolitan Police Department, and then went downstairs to borrow Asama's landline to make a call to Polepole.

"Hey... oh, is it the fifth generation? Please help me tell my father, because I have to do very important things today, I may not be able to go to polepole to work for a while, um....No, it's nothing, I can solve it myself ..."

Yesterday afternoon, he entrusted Yiyi Xun to investigate, and by the evening, the results had already been obtained.

According to Kaoru Ichijo’s narrative: A police officer named Shota Asama has very few records of overtime work in the past month. something weird...

Higashino Ryusuke hung up the phone, and when he passed by the table in the living room, there were still grapes washed by Asama Satoko last night, and he picked another one and put it in his mouth.

Really sweet!What is sweeter than grapes is the beautiful relationship between people, the affection between family members.

But the Gulangi of the Coffin of Darkness used skills similar to mimicry to replace the victim's life in this way of becoming someone else, destroying all these beautiful things.

Shota Asama, I really don't want this to happen to you...

Higashino Ryusuke followed closely behind, driving a motorcycle and following Shota far away.

He already, doesn't want to let the tragedy like Yamano Aimi and Yukari happen again!

……

Bunkyo District.

polepole trattoria, 8:30 a.m.

After putting on his apron and getting ready to start work, Saburo Shitama received a message from Yusuke Goshiro, "What? Ryusuke can't come today?... But it's okay, just do what you need to do, and don't leave any regrets."

This middle-aged man, who looks ordinary and often likes to tell cold jokes, has firm and clear beliefs when it comes to these things.

"By the way." Shiyu Saburo suddenly looked at Wudai, "Is there something bothering you recently? When you came back yesterday, you looked in a bad mood..."

He walked to the door while talking, and pushed the door open with the sound of the wind chimes. Outside the door was the bright sunshine. Zhuoyu Saburo looked at the sunshine and said, "If you want to take risks, you can go anytime!"

Wudai Yusuke froze in place for a moment, and after a while he showed a faint smile, "Thank you for your kindness, but..."

He pointed to the Kuga logo on his clothes and said with a smile: "However, I will continue to work hard on the adventure here!"

"That?... Let me think about it, um... Empty me, is it Empty me? I must have guessed right this time!"

"Haha, that's right!" Wudai gave a thumbs up.

……

Under the high-priced overpass, Shota Asama rode his motorcycle through the bridge opening, and gradually drove into a place with relatively few people.

An inexplicable dizziness suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, until he clearly opened his eyes, but he could no longer see anything.One second before his consciousness fell into chaos, he knew that that guy was coming!
Only a moment passed in the perception, and when Shota Asama came back to his senses, he had already left the road and fell down on the side of the road under the overpass with the locomotive.

Damn!
Asama Shota tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart, took out a revolver from behind, gritted his teeth and stood up, looking around vigilantly.

"Bastard! I know you are here... are you trying to kill me? Come out!"

His voice is mingled with fear of death, but more of a struggle against fate.

"...Hey, come out! Do you want to kill me for no reason like this? I don't give up so easily!"

On the deserted roadside, even vehicles rarely passed by, only Xiangta's roar echoed over and over again.

Suddenly, a gloomy voice sounded, "Hehe, the prey should look like the prey..."

"There!" Xiangta hurriedly followed the prestige, but saw a figure slowly walking out from behind the pillars of the overpass, his eyes widened and his pupils constricted.

The person in front of him actually has a very similar figure, similar face, similar clothes and everything to him, that is almost another self!
"You... You bastard, what kind of monster are you!"

Shota Asama was filled with fear, and his growling voice trembled, but he raised his gun decisively and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"boom!"

There was a loud explosion-like gunshot, and the bullet was fired from the barrel at high speed, but it directly penetrated the body of "Shota" on the opposite side, and hit the stone bridge pillar behind, exploding a puff of smoke and dust.

"How come..." Xiangta couldn't believe it.

"Stupid!" "Shota" on the opposite side laughed sinisterly, obviously using the same voice, but the words he said were creepy, "Do you think what you can see is the real me?"

The sneering "Shota" walked towards him step by step, his eyes full of playfulness and contempt, as if he didn't care about all the counterattacks of his prey.

Shota roared and fired two more shots, but the bullets penetrated the body of "Shota" on the opposite side as if piercing the air as expected.

"Is it an illusion... Where is the real him?"

Shota forced himself not to look at the guy approaching him, but looked around nervously, drops of cold sweat secreted from his forehead, and his spirit was under tremendous pressure that almost collapsed.

The python revolver has six bullets, but now there are only three bullets left, if the bullets are exhausted and the enemy cannot be hit, then you will only die!
However, that "Shota" smile seemed even colder, and the outstretched hand gradually turned into a beast-shaped claw of a carnivorous animal, reflecting a cold light in the sun.

"Lin Duo, go to hell!"

　Because Sarubo is almost only used as a background board in the official novel, and he died before he officially appeared on the scene. Except for the rose girl who mentioned his name, even the species is not clear, so I set it here for the plot without authorization. As a weasel, it also has the meaning of taking the folklore that yellow leather can "charm" people.
