The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"Go ahead and do your work. I'll talk to you if I need anything!" Raising her water glass at Honganji Jun, who was nodding at her chin, Shijima Kiriko, seeing this, knew perfectly well that her section chief was trying to get rid of her. She said decisively, "Okay, then take care of yourself, and don't forget to take your medicine, section chief!"

"Well, let's go!"

After watching Shijima Kiriko leave, Honganji Jun held his water glass in silence for a long time. Then, Genpachi slammed his fist on the table, stood up, and stormed out of the office.

"Ugh!"

With a deep sigh, Jun Honganji subtly wiped the corner of his eye. "There's no going back!"

"What's the point of saying all this now?" Sawakami Suzuna stopped what she was doing and put her hands on her lap. "The person is gone, what else can we hope for?"

"Ugh!"

With another sigh, Jun Honganji placed his teacup on the table, rubbed the back of his head, and leaned back, staring blankly at the ceiling. "In the end, I still couldn't fulfill what others entrusted to me!"

"This feeling is really frustrating!"

............

One week later.

The underground space of the Sonozaki Mansion.

In the deep darkness, only the faint light emanating from the bottom of the Earth Well illuminated Miku's face, making it appear as if the light and shadow were constantly shifting.

"The veterans have already left the game, so there's no point in continuing with small-scale games. Let's go all out."

The eerie voice was like a murmur from hell, filled with overwhelming malice.

"And your time to come out is almost here." Miku glanced down into the Earth Well, revealing his gleaming teeth.

.............

In the Kuru era, on a certain street.

The woman, who had just returned home from shopping at the supermarket, had a happy smile on her face. Every time she glanced at the ring on her hand, she would smile from the bottom of her heart.

"What should I make for him tonight?" The woman, whose thoughts were drifting away, did not notice the burly man standing not far in front of her.

The woman, who instinctively walked around the burly man, didn't notice the sinister smile on his face. As the woman turned her back to the burly man, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her neck, forcefully twisting it to one side.

"Crack!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and the woman fell to the ground, her large eyes filled with confusion. The reusable bag she was carrying fell to the ground, and an apple rolled out with a thud.

Kuruma International Shopping Center.

A group of people dressed in various styles walked in. The one in the lead looked around first, and when she saw the dense crowd, she smiled slightly and nodded.

"This is it!" The leading woman revealed a cruel smile: "Let's make our move and see how many of us can gain the blessing of evolution and become our brethren!"

At this point, the woman in the lead's pupils changed from black to gray, and patterns filled with a uniquely cruel beauty appeared on her face. Then, her body began to swell violently, transforming into a creature resembling a giant crayfish.

Everyone behind her transformed into monsters and began indiscriminately attacking pedestrians around them, with the sole purpose of killing and increasing their own ranks.

At the same time, on the coastline near the sea in Kuru-ma.

A large number of kidnapped citizens were placed on circles covered with strange and complex patterns. Several strange people with magical glows stood to the side, exchanging glances and nodding to each other.

"Although it's only a small-scale operation, it can still give us some more companions!"

The magic circle on the ground instantly charged and channeled its magic power to the citizens within it, causing their magic power to materialize and transform into Phantoms.

As the small-scale Phantom transformation ritual began, a huge explosion resounded throughout the city. One of the Phantoms beside the magic circle glanced at the direction of the explosion and curled its lip: "Don't these Yummy have any brains?"

"All you do all day is destroy things!"

"Come on, if you're going to talk about that, you might as well talk about Undead. Those guys are always holding survival games, they can't die no matter what, so what's the point?"

"Speaking of games, the Gurongi murder mystery game has started again. I've managed to get tickets. Are you interested?"

"Forget it, it's their internal affair, so let's not get involved. After all, it's a ceremony to decide the change of leader."

“That’s true.” One of the men in black robes nodded and then asked, “How did the negotiations with the demonized monster go?”

"Don't even mention that. Those idiots are completely useless. I asked them to help us pick out the potential 'doors,' but those idiots just ended up eating them all!"

"Tsk, those idiots!"

"Ha, even the most stupid demonic goblins can protect their race. I've heard that the mirror monsters, alien insects, toothed blood demons, and those mystical alien gods have all been wiped out!"

"Hiss... Is this for real?"

"It's probably true. I heard that knights were discovered, then they were wiped out, and those races were completely wiped out!"

"That's so tragic!"

........

"Section Chief, Fifth Avenue Yummy has gone berserk!"

"A Gurongi has been spotted at Cherry Blossom Park, suspected of holding a murder mystery game there!"

"The demons have started rioting again! They've launched a surprise attack on Shehou Town, and the people on the scene are requesting backup!"

"Undead's survival game is expanding and is about to spread throughout the entire city. All the police officers who went to monitor it have been killed!"

.....

One message and piece of intelligence after another was sent into the small room of the Special Cases Division. Jun Honganji, his brows furrowed, was surrounded by a group of people as they began to discuss solutions.

"Why is that?"

Touching his chin, Jun Honganji looked at the mountain of reports in front of him, completely baffled, and pinched his temples in exasperation.

"This is such a headache!"

Even so, he quickly responded by mobilizing a large number of people to suppress them. Even if he couldn't defeat those monsters, he could at least reduce casualties.

After a busy day, Jun Honganji collapsed into a chair, "We've finally managed to barely get the situation under control!"

"That's strange. There aren't usually so many weirdos appearing. Why is this happening now?" Sawakami Suzuna wiped the sweat from her forehead. Nishijou was constantly reviewing past records when Kenpachi pushed open the door, picked up a glass of water, and drank it all down in front of Sawakami Suzuna's astonished expression.

I said, that's mine...

"Section Chief, it's complete chaos outside. All the guys under my command are nearing their limits. The hospital is operating at full capacity. The power lines were just damaged, and we just notified people to come and fix it!"

After rambling on for a while, Xianba took off his coat, pulled out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and lit it while saying, "What exactly is going on? Why did this riot happen in just one day?"

"Um..." Xicheng Jiu, who had timidly raised his hand, said weakly, "I might know the reason!"

"what?!"

The group gathered around and looked at Nishijou. Nishijou pointed at the computer and said, "I just checked the previous files and records. The most recent time this happened was ten years ago."

"How was it resolved in the end?"

Immediately pressing for an answer, Nishijo pushed up his glasses, looking extremely embarrassed, and said, "The person in charge at the time didn't do anything!"

"Why?" Sawakami Suzuna exclaimed in surprise, while Honganji Jun also patted Saijou's shoulder: "Saijou, don't joke around, do you think doing nothing will solve this situation?"

"Ten years ago, they really did nothing, because after that riot went berserk, a wave of weirdos came, and eventually several cities were leveled and turned into ruins."

"Wh...wh...what!"

Honganji Jun shouted, "A strange crowd?"

"Yes, the monstrous tide, known as a natural disaster, will destroy everything unless the monstrous tide disperses on its own!"

"No, we can't just stand by and watch those monsters continue to run rampant. And regardless of whether a monster wave occurs, we must stop this from happening." Honganji Jundo, pacing back and forth, said, "Call Koharu back immediately, we need to..."

"Section Chief!"

"Ok?"

"Shinnosuke is gone, have you forgotten again?!"

Chapter 113: No matter what, I will save you!

into the night.

In the Kuru era, in a certain area.

Hehehe...

The naked woman's long hair cascaded down her back, swaying in the night breeze with her movements.

A woman skipped along with her hands behind her back, followed by a disheveled young man with lifeless eyes.

The two walked up to a vending machine. The woman stopped, scratching her head as she looked at the vending machine, her not-so-bright mind flashing through fragmented images.

"Hey...hehehe!"

The woman, who had pressed her hands against the vending machine and looked closely at the products inside, suddenly shattered the glass, breaking the vending machine's display window.

Ignoring the shards of glass on her hands, the woman picked through the items in the vending machine, finally grabbing a large pile and eating it.

The man behind her, Chi Bie Gang, didn't react at all, staring blankly at the woman's actions. The woman would occasionally feed him a little food, and Chi Bie Gang would mechanically open his mouth and eat the food, his empty stomach making gurgling sounds.

After the woman had eaten and drunk her fill, she continued to wander the streets of Kuru, still carrying a large pile of food in her arms.

This woman is the ghoul owl that Miku and his two companions brought with them when they attacked the Special Investigations Department building.

Unlike previous drivers with their mechanical or mystical structures, the driver around her waist was a pure collection of flesh and blood.

Since being left in the Kuruma by Miku and temporarily defeated by the veteran driver, Owl and Takeru have been wandering aimlessly around the Kuruma.

Because of Miku's modifications to Owl, the current Owl only has the intelligence of a child of a few years old. Although some memory images may occasionally flash through his mind, they are of no use to him now.

She has been completely transformed into a biological weapon.

The owl, leaving behind a mess, continued to wander aimlessly with the defeated Gang. Not long after the two left, Che Sha caught up with them on his motorcycle.

After stopping the car and inspecting the mess, Che Sha squatted down and wiped away the remaining bloodstains on the ground. Then he suddenly looked up ahead and exclaimed, "We're very close!"

"This time, I'm definitely bringing you back, Gang!"

Once back on the bus, Che Sha followed the trail they left behind. The trail was easy to spot; the food scraps and trash on the ground were their guiding lights.

"boom..."

The roar of the motorcycle engine pierced the silence of the night, startling the birds that were roosting nearby.

In less than five minutes, Che Sha, who had caught up with Xiao and Chi Bie Gang, turned his car around and blocked their way.
