Chapter 229 The Prophet

According to legend, in the place of Sanno Lake, as early as before the Jomon period, there were highly civilized tribes living here in the super ancient times.

The tribe's villages are often attacked by evil spirit-like creatures, but every time, a holy war department will appear to save the village.

It is not known whether the warrior was a human being or some other more special creature, but people worshiped him as a god, and a huge statue was made to thank the warrior and sank to the bottom of the lake.

Ryo Ashihara, who followed Saeko for a day, finally found a chance to speak again, but only heard Saeko tell the legend about Sanno Lake.

To be honest, Ryo doesn't have a good impression of legends and myths now. The so-called power bestowed by gods on human beings is nothing more than turning people into monsters, which is not something worth pursuing.

Sitting by the lake watching the twilight gradually dye the lake into pitch black, Liang felt a little confused.

In fact, he has gradually been able to accept that he has become a monster, but after that?
Investigate the cause of his father's death?Or find the person behind all this?Or follow predecessors like No. [-] and learn to become a mature fighter.

These seem to be necessary for him to do, but they seem unnecessary.

Even if it is decided to bid farewell to the past, the future will not become clear all at once.

Still need to find...

……

After the morning meeting, Makoto Glacier did not go directly to the unconfirmed countermeasures team to resume his position, but took the time to go to polepole.

In the store today, only Higashino Ryusuke and Uncle Tamasaburo were busy, while Ke Nai returned to his rental house to rest after Ryusuke asked for leave.

That Higashino Ryusuke is the only one he knows so far who seems to know the unknown very well, and Hikawa wants to verify some conjectures with him.

"So... May I ask, is the unknown really afraid of humans?"

"It's amazing to make such a bold inference, Police Officer Glacier." Higashino Ryusuke handed a cup of cooked coffee to Glacier and said, "Although the logic of Unknown's actions is not entirely the same, it does contain a factor of fear of humans. Inside."

To be precise, those guys are humans who are afraid of becoming Ajituo after awakening.If more and more humans start to awaken, it will almost be a disaster for the angels.

"Thank you." Glacier said apologetically as he sipped his coffee, "But I'm sorry Mr. Dongye, I didn't find any important clues about the matter you entrusted. It seems that the foreign student participated in a special incident before he disappeared. Specifically, Can't figure it out."

"That's right, thank you very much."

Bingchuancheng glanced at the time, and then bid farewell.The zebra-type unknown has not yet been wiped out, and the Metropolitan Police Department still regards the victim's wife as a key protection target. Glacier, as a G3 outfitter, is always on call and also needs to participate in this mission.

The wind chimes at the door swayed, and Ryo Ashihara and Makoto Hikawa walked into the store as they passed each other. Ryo recognized that Hikawa was the policeman who had desperately protected him and Mayumi last time, so he stopped for a moment and looked at Hikawa's leaving figure and tapped gently. He nodded his thanks.

"Senior..." Ryo, who came to the counter, explained to Higashino what he had experienced in the past two days, and took out the death note.Ryo didn't mention the news of his father's death. In his eyes, death is not something worth promoting, and he doesn't want to be sympathized because of this kind of thing.

Higashino Ryusuke browsed the names on the note, and confirmed that the personnel on the Tianliang had not changed, but the appearance of this note, which was enough to be called an important prop in the original plot, also showed that Ryo's father had died.

In fact, Liang’s father died 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 on the cold bench in front of the station until his body The temperature gradually becomes the same as the bench in the cold wind.

It didn't encounter the unknown attack directly, but suddenly lost the signs of life.

This method of killing reminded Ryusuke of the porcupine Gurangi. The method of killing is to bury small thorn-like porcupine quills in the victim's brain in advance. As time goes by, the porcupine quills will gradually grow until the brain tissue of the victim is destroyed. die.It can also appear that the perpetrator is just watching in the middle of nowhere while the victim ends his life in agony.

Oh, by the way, I suddenly remembered that Gulangi, the porcupine in this world, was killed by him before he could play the game, so it's okay.

Of course, it is worth noting that there is a similar guy among the unknowns, a scorpion venerable—the way of committing an impossible crime is to pierce the victim's neck with a poisonous needle extended from the head, injecting The heat-removing metal plate caused it to show signs of being frozen to death after about 24 hours.

"Anyway," Long Jie closed the notebook and handed it back, "The list above is about a major accident, and 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 must entangle the truth, it might kill them.”

"So my father also..."

Ryusuke did not deny, "In addition, these people will unite for self-protection, and it is best to find their secret base. But investigating things related to them will inevitably confront those monsters, Liang, you really do this well Are you ready?"

"No problem, I have nothing to do now anyway." Ryo replied indifferently.

"There is one more thing I must tell you." Ryusuke's expression became serious, "Although you have obtained that ability, it is not complete, once you fight with that stance completely, your life will be overdrawn. "

Ryo opened his mouth, but said nothing.

"When you feel that what you do is worth your life, it's what you think is right. Liang, you have to remember that the final decision on whether to fight or not is in your hands."

As for the rest, I'll help you figure it out.

Watching Ryo leave, Ryusuke said in his heart.He didn't want Ryo to shrink back because of fear of death, to fight bravely, not to flinch when injured, and not to regret after dying in battle, this is the real Ryo Ashihara.

He hopes that Liang can grow up from the tragic fate, and he will also help Liang to deal with the aftermath. Although he said that Liang's battle would have the risk of death, if it really came to that point, Ryusuke would not ignore it.

"If you go to ask Douzhen at that time, you shouldn't be rejected, right? If you really can't do it, go ask Zhenyu..."

Well, the 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—in the black background, the dazzling white Ajitus coat of arms seemed to break through the dark curtain.

The man had a hunch in his heart that the supreme being had already come to this world.

It's just that he hasn't found it yet.

The fate of human beings is controlled like a thread in the hands of that existence. If possible, he wants to share a strand of the thread from that existence, which is also the lifeline of all human beings.

No, not just human beings, but also Yajituo's lifeline.

"Do you want to find me?"

It was like a sigh whispered in the ears, but 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, Douzhen!

The man suddenly became solemn, walked to Dou Zhen's side lightly, and stood there quietly.

Dou Zhen suddenly became interested in the few pieces of paper on the coffee table in front of him, took a few at random, and played origami games under the watchful eyes of the man.

Dou Zhen seemed to have a childlike smile on his face, and several paper boats were born in his hands.

"In ancient times, the world was flooded by floods. Among the people, a wise man prayed to me, telling me about suffering and hope. I inspired him, so he led the people to build a big ship and escaped the disaster of destroying the world."

"Do you want to take a boat too?"

"No, I don't want to take a boat." The man tried his best to behave himself.

"So, what do you want to do?"

Why do you say "again"?
The man settled down, "I just want to understand, understand people, understand myself, and understand everything."

"So that's how it is." Dou Zhen chuckled, "That sage in ancient times, people called him a prophet, a sage, a knower, an enlightened one... From this point of view, what you want to do is this Prophet of the times."

The man does not deny that any attempt to hide is ridiculous before God.

"Is your name Shoichi Tsugami?"

"Shoichi Tsugami..." After a brief absence, the man's gaze lowered, "I have given up on this name, and now I am called Tetsuya Sawaki."

"So, I see. My, Prophet..."
