Ichijo did understand. He nodded and said, "I see what you mean. That means we have more enemies to guard against. But why haven't I seen this guy at the Unconfirmed...Gurongi gathering?"
"Not every Gurongi revived on the day the archaeological team was killed. Some revived earlier, even years earlier. Some revived later. Perhaps a Gurongi crawled out of the ground just the second before."
"That's not good news," Ichijo muttered. "Never mind. I'll just have to minimize the losses. By the way, Krieger, I do know everyone in the Metropolitan Police Department."
You have a really good memory, Krieg rolled his eyes this time.
"You said that Rose Gurongi is the referee for this match, right? Does she know the identities of all the Gurongi?"
"I think he knows," Krieg replied, only then realizing what Tiao had said. He looked at him in shock, "What? You're going to use the beauty trap?!"
"No, I think Gurongi has no interest in humans. If he wants to use the beauty trap, your face is obviously more suitable than mine," he made a small complaint.
No, no, no, you're more effective for La Baruba Butterfly than any other creature in the world. Krieg didn't say this out loud, but simply gave Ichijo an unfathomable smile.
These two guys really don't know anything about love life.
"Don't you think that conquering a female Gurongi is a rare achievement for a human being? Don't worry, we should not be afraid of any difficulties we encounter. Face them with a smile. The best way to eliminate fear is to face it. Persistence is the key to victory. Come on, Oli Ge!"
Mr. Krieg said something weird again, and Wudai pretended not to hear it. On the other side, even though he was a single dog, he still had a hopeless attitude towards Krieg's love life.
Gurongi, what an incomprehensible race, and this guy seems to be the most difficult to understand among the Gurongi.
So, isn't that why Krieg was driven out by the Gurongi and is now cooperating with us?!
Ichijo and Godai looked at each other, and they both thought in the same direction.
"This elevator is so long!" Wu Dai looked at the two of them and said after a long while, "As expected of the Joint Investigation Headquarters of Unidentified Lifeform-Related Incidents! This is the longest elevator I've ever been in!"
The topic change was so abrupt. Ichijo looked at Godai with pity. This guy was obviously very popular with women, but unfortunately, they all became like brothers in the end. Sakurako Sawatari who liked to work all night long was actually just a friend of Godai. Ichijo used his observation ability as a detective to not notice any feelings between the two other than family affection.
Yusuke Godai, this guy, I'm afraid he will die alone like Krieg. Oh, no, Krieg can live until the end of the world, so is Godai the only one who will die alone?
Ichijo had no idea that he was in the same situation, and for a moment, the three people in the elevator were filled with pity for the other two people.
"Ding", no matter how stupid these three people were, the elevator was still strong and did not get infected by their stupidity, and successfully completed its task.
"It's just ahead," Ichijo was the first to walk out and lead the two of them to the anatomy department.
There is a very shallow layer of disinfectant on the floor of the autopsy room. On the one hand, the blood produced during the dissection process is very difficult to clean after dripping onto the ground. On the other hand, it is simply for disinfection to prevent forensic doctors from contracting some strange diseases.
"Look, that's him," said a man holding two copied reports and giving one to Wudai and Krieg.
Data is always more accurate than verbal descriptions, but Krieg spent a long time comparing his memories. This creature didn't even exist in the novels or comics, let alone the series. Compared to the suit actors in the series, the real Gurongi was actually uglier, more like an alien creature. After all, suits are for people to wear, so they can't be too unconventional.
Krieg pointed at the unknown Gurongi, and Ichi nodded, signaling him to proceed. Krieg then pulled up the Gurongi's wings. They felt hard and heavy, their hardness almost as strong as steel. The feathery wings stretched out until they covered half the room.
"Looks so powerful," Wu Dai's eyes widened, still with that carefree look, it seemed like he had no chance to turn into a fierce warrior.
What kind of structure is this? Krieg's frown caught Ichijo's attention. He volunteered, "Before dehydration, this Gurongi weighed about a ton and a half, far exceeding any other known Gurongi. Yet, its flying speed is at least 300 kilometers per hour. Honestly, we have no idea how it can fly at this weight. According to aerodynamics, it can't even walk steadily."
It was the effect of reality distortion. Compared to Ichijo's confusion, Krieg knew more, so he was more amazed at this thing, and he had to admit that he couldn't tell what the prototype of this Gurongi was.
"Tsk, this is a troublesome thing." Krieg put down the wings of the Gurongi, and the wings slowly bounced back, looking quite flexible and reliable.
Looking at the bullet hole on the chest of this Gurongi, even with the help of the powerful sword, it still looks very scary.
"The research was very successful. In terms of effect alone, it's no worse than the fifth generation. Otherwise, how do you think I was able to shoot down this unidentified life form?" Yitiao expressed his satisfaction with the neurotomy bomb. However, after he finished speaking, he saw that Krieg and the fifth generation narrowed their eyes at the same time.
"What? You don't think I did it with ordinary bullets, do you?"
Although Ichijo didn't get a reply, the expressions of Godai and Krieg betrayed their thoughts.
"You guys think too much. I'm just an ordinary police officer. If I had this ability, do you think Gurongi could make me so nervous?!"
Tell this to the Gurongis you killed!
Krieg suppressed his inner complaints and carefully turned over the body. It was obvious that the autopsy was done in great detail, but there was only one thing that Krieg really cared about.
Where did this guy's magic stone go?
Krieg pulled his hand back from the corpse's abdomen. Ichijo's expression remained normal, but Godai shrank his neck, not daring to look towards Krieg to see what was happening.
Under the bright light of the shadowless lamp, Krieg rubbed his fingers carefully. Where the magic stone should have been, there was only some fine powder. It looked the same as the magic stone that was shattered after he absorbed it, but it was shattered more thoroughly. This powder had spread everywhere with the blood. If it weren't for the electric shock that strengthened Krieg's physical fitness, he would even ignore these fragments.
After confirming that the magic stone simply changed its form, a new question arose: why would the extremely hard magic stone break into this powder?
Whether it is Kuuga or Gurongi, their belts are generated by the stones in their abdomens. Even if they are infused with sealing energy by the Fifth Generation's Knight Kick, the belts will most likely be shattered instead of turned into powder. This level of powder will not appear even if they are hit by a Nuclear Kick. You must know that no matter what kind of kick it is, it really relies on sealing energy. It is basically impossible for simple physical damage to destroy the belt.
Krieg could only think of one reason for this powder, that is, it was drained by a being stronger than the root of the spirit stone, or all of its energy was used up by some super powerful ability. Even the magic stone's own recovery ability could not restore it, so it was directly shattered into slag.
"Ichitsu, is this guy resisting fiercely?"
"Intense?" Ichijo repeated the question, looking quite puzzled. "Not really. This guy was just flying very fast, then using his body to attack the police. Even though he looked so big, he was actually just relying on physical combat. Sakurai and I simply calculated our timing and took him down."
"So this guy didn't struggle before he died?"
"No, I just fell straight down," one reply came quickly.
There was no struggle. Did that mean the magic stone ran out of energy at that time?
"You fired five shots. Was there anything unusual during this period?" Krieg squinted his eyes and looked at the thumb-sized bullet holes. The injured Vulture Gurongi was killed by one shot, and the intact Rose Girl was shot into the river by three shots. According to Yitiao's description, this Gurongi could not have survived the fifth shot, and it should have died from the first shot.
"I remember the Gurongi staggered a bit after the first shot, but then calmly took the three shots, only to suddenly die after the last one."
Even with his energy nearly depleted, Krieg knew there was a way to get results quickly. "I have a hypothesis. One: shoot me."
Chapter 291 There is a situation
"Shoot you?"
Ichijo subconsciously repeated Krieg's request, "Let's not talk about the reason first, what type of gun do you want?"
This question was unnecessary. Ordinary bullets were completely ineffective against Krieg. Krieg could only be talking about nerve-wrecking bullets. But precisely because of this, Ichijo did not understand Krieg's request.
As one guess had come true, Krieg responded to him nonchalantly, "Neurora bomb, I want to confirm a guess."
Seeing the shocked look on his face, Krieg quickly explained, "It's okay. My healing abilities have improved recently. If I was just hit by a neurotomy bullet, nothing will happen. A wise old man once said, 'The best way to feel an attack is to experience it yourself.'"
"You're talking about the best way to learn boxing, right?"
"The general idea is fine. Anyway, please give me a shot," Krieg said sincerely, "I know this bullet is very valuable, but I need to confirm the effect. This is all I ask for today."
"No, we don't need to take this risk."
Ichijo's attitude is very firm. He will not point the gun at his own people.
"I think we should trust Mr. Krieg. Although his personality is a little...very strange, Mr. Krieg is still very reliable when doing things." Wudai was also confused at first, but he soon figured it out. Since they knew each other, Krieg has never done anything without confidence. No matter what he wants to do, he should just maintain a supportive attitude.
"As expected, the Fifth Generation is smart. Don't worry, just shoot me in the arm. That way the effect won't be maximized, right?" Krieg secretly gave a thumbs up to the Fifth Generation's support.
You are deceiving fools, this behavior is immoral. Yitiao's forehead was twisted together, and the tangled emotions clearly emerged in his eyes, while Krieg turned his head away and pretended that he saw nothing.
"No," Ichijo still refused. "This action is unnecessary. We will win, and any sacrifices before that must be avoided."
"I'm really touched by what you said, but I really need this," Krieg said, his eyes turning as he came up with an amazing idea. "Ichijo-san, I remember this bullet is mainly aimed at Gurongi, right? If a human gets shot, it would just be a normal bullet, right?"
"Yes, but for ordinary people, the possibility of death from a gunshot is extremely high, so what else do you have to say?" Ichijo refused to give in.
"Think about it this way. If I were to remain in human form and be hit by a neurotomy bullet, wouldn't that be the same as if I were a normal human being shot? However, in this situation, I still retain my super regenerative abilities. While my defenses may be weakened, my regenerative abilities will ensure I'm not in any danger."
Godai, standing by, covered his mouth in astonishment as he watched Krieg's impassive ramblings. As Kuuga's Transformer, he knew full well that armor was made of the flesh and blood of the Transformer. He wanted to stop Krieg, but seeing Krieg's movements, he considered that Krieg might be hiding something, so he wanted to help him. However, that would mean he would be deceiving Mr. Ichijo. If this continued, he would have to deceive at least one of them.
This is really a difficult problem. Wudai bit his lips nervously, not knowing whether he should remind Yizhi.
Ichijo just looked at Krieg and waved his hand, "I won't stop you from doing something like this, but you have to be prepared."
Godai extended his hand slightly, then lowered it.
"Come on," Krieg nodded as he watched Ichijo retrieve the neurotomy bullet from the next room.
The feeling of the bullet tearing through the flesh was not very noticeable, or rather, for Krieg, this pain was no longer something worth noting.
"How is it?" Ichijo and Godai looked even more nervous than him, while Krieg just showed the bullet hole with a strange expression, and the surrounding muscle tissue had shrunk.
"I say, the principle of neurotomy bullets should just be to cut off the connection between nerves, right? This effect doesn't seem right."
"I feel like I'm in good shape, so I'd better go to the meeting first."
Krieg didn't waste other people's time. He argued with him but couldn't win, so he finally listened to his opinion.
"Mr. Krieger, isn't it a bad idea to lie to Mr. Ichijo like this?" On the way to the meeting room, Wudai's face flushed slightly. "I don't mean to blame you, but Mr. Ichijo is doing this for your own good. Wouldn't it be better if you could explain it clearly?"
Krieg sighed, grabbed Wudai's head, and pointed it at the information in his hand. "Do you think he really doesn't know? He's just testing my resolve. You can be a little silly and cute sometimes."
"So, both of you know about it, and I'm the only one who doesn't know?"
Godai blinked for a moment before realization finally dawned on him.
"Your reaction time is quite long. Let's go. We are finally down to the last few Gurongis. I hope you can solve this problem quickly and then go on your journey."
"I'm not in a hurry. I can just stay here for a while. I've only been back for a month!"
"An adventurer would want a quiet life, huh?"
Krieg's eyes sharpened.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Wu Dai turned his head away. "I just want to rest for a while. After all, what I've been doing lately is very dangerous. It would be great if I could take a break for a while. Mr. Wu Dai also needs to rest."
"Really? I noticed that you mentioned it twice during the break. Did you find a girl you like?"
"I didn't get the girl I liked. Didn't I have to attend a meeting?"
"You repeated my question. Why is that, is it not?"
"Stop talking, our goal is to protect the smile of mankind!!!" Wudai rushed over excitedly and blocked Krieg's mouth with his hands. Because of the height difference, Wudai had to stretch out his arms to block Krieg's mouth.
The noisy Metropolitan Police Department suddenly became quiet. The surrounding police officers looked at them. Godai's face suddenly turned red. "I'm so sorry, I will keep my voice down next time!"
"Why are you two quarreling again!" Yi Tiao came back. This time his temper was not so good. He directly carried the two people to the meeting room.
Sasayama, a little fan girl from a distance, saw this and was about to say hello to Ichijo, but before she could utter the first word, she saw her idol walking past him. She had no choice but to follow them to the meeting room in a depressed mood.
Chapter 292 The Last Meeting
"You're here. Was anything delaying you on the way? I've been waiting for you," Sakurai Gang opened the door for them and motioned them to sit in their proper seats.
"Headmaster Sadao Matsukura," Ichijo nodded and greeted the person in charge here, and after receiving a response, he dragged Krieg and Godai in.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's start discussing the issue of unidentified life forms."
Matsukura Sadao is the Chief of Security at the Metropolitan Police Department, and later served as the Chief of the Joint Investigation Headquarters for Unidentified Lifeforms after its establishment. Initially, he treated Kuuga No. 4 with caution, but after observing his actions and persuading him through Ichijo, he finally accepted him. He has since been influenced by the Fifth Generation and has become a kindly older man.
"First, let's take a look at the photos Ichijo took," Matsukura Sadao stood next to the projector and introduced them one by one to the relevant people present, while Sasayama Nozomi distributed all the information.
"In short, what we know is that there are still seven unconfirmed life forms alive. In addition to the bat monster No. 3 we saw at the beginning, there is also the shark monster No. 44 and the buffalo monster No. 45."
When Matsukura Sadao was introducing the characters, only Ichijo was listening attentively. Godai was staring at Gurongi's photo with full of fighting spirit, while Krieg was completely distracted.
The bullet hole in his abdomen was a little uncomfortable.
Although the molecular ability can create clothes with his own flesh and blood, Krieg always felt that the clothes made by this ability were no different from running naked, so he wore a real set of clothes, and the bullet holes covered by this set of clothes were oozing red liquid.
At first, Krieg thought it was blood, but after secretly tasting it, he knew it wasn't. Even if he'd been consuming too much sugar, blood couldn't possibly be so cloyingly sweet. If I were to describe the taste of this liquid, it was very similar to the recommended drink he'd had at the PolePole cafe, also so sweet it made him vomit. Krieg was deeply impressed.
Krieg's expression remained unchanged. He just put his hands under the table, hiding his abnormality while crushing the liquid with his fingers. As more and more liquid flowed out, he clearly felt that the necrotic part of his nerves was healing, and even the withered flesh and blood returned to normal.
The effect of reality distortion appeared, and Krieg could only think of this one explanation. The ability of being shot by a neurotomy bullet to restrict his behavior was almost zero, but his body seemed to actively eliminate this abnormal state.
The sticky magic stone powder in the liquid also proved that his guess was correct. The Gurongi really relied on consuming the magic stone in its body to heal its injuries. Otherwise, it would have been killed on the spot when the neurotomy bullet hit it for the first time.
Krieg frowned slightly at the idealistic and uncontrollable ability. If this ability was not useless, it meant that he had not found a way to do it. No matter what, there was still a lot of room for improvement.
The meeting went by quite quickly. Everyone present was a practical person and had experienced how fast Gurongi attacks could be. Every proposal was resolved almost as soon as it was put forward, without even a vote.
"Since the number of unidentified life forms in this world is uncertain, we have only one final proposal," said General Manager Matsukura Sadao, turning to look at Godai's position. "Regarding the existence of Monster Body 0 and Humanoid Group B No. 13, Godai Yusuke and Mr. Krieg, do you have any proposals?"
"I don't know either. After all, I haven't seen him. But I believe that with everyone's efforts, Zero is not an insurmountable enemy. Although Mr. Krieg has always opposed my participation in the battle with Zero, I will still participate!" The Fifth Generation is still full of confidence. He has not suffered any setbacks, so the Fifth Generation is still the passionate adventurer with no gloom in his heart.
"I don't think there's any problem. The only requirement is that the area around the decisive battle site be cleared. If possible, it's best to clear a distance of more than 100 kilometers."
Krieg sighed. Kuga's true meaning was that the Five (Godai) had reduced themselves (me) to nothingness (Sora) for the sake of everyone's smiles, bravely fighting with violence despite grief and injury. Daguba, on the other hand, represented the concept of "nothingness." Though the King of the Gurongi, the bearer of Ultimate Darkness, Daguba's heart was untainted by evil, possessing only the pure desire to fight.
Although everyone was a little worried about Gurongi's recent surge in strength, after all, no one present except Krieg knew how strong Daguba really was. As the only person who knew the truth, Krieg was absolutely confident that he could defeat Daguba. It was just a matter of how to defeat him, and Krieg chose the most difficult method.
Krieg chose to use the Gurongi identity to kill Dagub. This was partly to satisfy his own desire to fight, and partly to protect Godai. Once all the Gurongis were dead, even if the Metropolitan Police Department liked Godai, he would still be an outlier. Even if he was just being cautious, his fate would definitely not be good. This is why, at the end, everyone who had interacted with Godai treated him well, but he still needed Godai to fake his death to escape.
But there is no need to worry about this now. No matter where Daguba is now, when he appears, he will purge the monsters of the Bei and Zi groups who are too weak to participate in the game, and kill the strong demons to take back the belt fragments and become the ultimate form. In this case, he will not be able to cover his tracks.
"Rather than worrying about the last Zero, we should think about how to prevent the three strongest Gurongi of the Kuzu Group. Although the rules of the game have been changed to eliminate me, those three guys will probably ignore this rule. Whether Daguba will recognize the temporary rule change is still a question mark."
In the end, the Metropolitan Police Department could only double the number of detectives responsible for monitoring suspicious persons. Godai and Krieg had no good solution. At this time, the Gurongi were no different from ordinary people. If they had remained in human form and did not wear any strange clothes, Hayabusa would not have been able to find them.
"Mr. Krieg, do you really want to face Zero alone?" After the meeting, Wudai stopped Krieg.
"If you're really worried, why not kill all the Gurongi in the Kuzu Group? That would make things easier for me."
"Since I'm here, don't worry."
