The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

As the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets was heard, Lin Qiao's voice of explanation also rang out from upstairs.

"When the Smasher appears, it will emit some special electromagnetic waves, and this thing can detect the electromagnetic waves emitted by the Smasher and then send out a signal."

"The principle is similar to radar."

A man came down from upstairs holding a disc-like object covered with solar panels.

"Of course, the coverage of a single detection device is definitely limited, so we can only make up for it with quantity."

"Including the outer boroughs, there are more than 400 such devices in Tokyo. Although this can only provide a rough range, it is enough."

“It took a lot of effort to install it.”

He brought up again what he had said to Miss Geng once before.

Rentaro Satomi looked at the detection device on the table as if it were a rare item.

Then he remembered something and put down the disc in his hand.

"By the way, where's Ms. Kisara?"

He hadn't seen the other person since he came in, which made him a little curious. He wondered if the other person had gone out to beat up the attacker again.

As if she saw through what he was thinking, Lin Qiao stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes: "Don't think about it, she took Yanzhu out to buy things, and she will probably be back soon."

We have to admit that adolescent girls develop quickly, especially the type like Miss Geng, who delivers nutrients to the right places.

Since we were mainly buying some women's products, we didn't bring Lin Qiao, a grown man, with us.

As for Bushicui, because of her ears and the fact that she didn't like crowded places, she stayed to accompany Lin Qiao.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Kisara and Enju walked in from the door carrying large and small bags.

But unlike the sunny and good mood when he set out, Kisara was obviously not in a very good mood at this moment.

Returning with them was a dirty, extremely disheveled-looking little girl with black hair and red eyes.

"The cursed child of the outer district?"

It seems something happened.

Chapter 196: A Society Full of Hostility towards the Cursed Child

Yanzhu took the girl upstairs to take a shower, and Lin Qiao also learned what had happened from Mu Geng.

It wasn't a complicated matter. It was just that when they were shopping, a cursed child from the outer district was caught stealing something, and then he was taken to a place by two policemen and lynched.

This is a very common phenomenon both in the Tokyo area and in other areas.

Fortunately, when the two policemen were about to pull the trigger, Kigen, who had followed them out of concern, rescued the child in time.

"Is this happening again......"

There is no doubt that stealing itself is wrong, but it is difficult for either Lin Qiao or Mu Geng to blame these children.

After all, they really have no other way to survive.

Even if they want to get paid for their work, no one will hire them... To be more precise, even if they have money, there may not be anyone who will sell things to them.

The whole society has created an environment where they reject the cursed child.

Even children who are still in school will speak ill of the cursed child when they see him.

Even if the Holy Emperor intends to promulgate the "New Development of Gastral Organisms" in order to improve the social status of the cursed children, the effect it will have is... rounded to zero.

Therefore, there are only two options for most children: steal or beg.

The only way is to join the International Association of Starters Supervisors (IISO) and become a starter - but whether you can meet a good promoter is entirely up to fate.

There are many criminals among the police officers. It is wishful thinking to expect such people to treat children kindly.

Well, I'd like to give a special mention to General Yixiong who was causing trouble that day.

Although this guy is indeed a bad person, he is very good to his partner. He is just harsh in his words and always calls him a "tool".

"I know those police officers are doing their job, but killing people without asking any questions is too much!"

Recalling what the two policemen had done before, her tone inevitably became a little anxious.

Gala Gala!

The can of coffee in my hand made a harsh sound as it was crushed.

Her condition also made Rentaro Satomi a little worried: "...Um, Ms. Kisara, you didn't kill anyone, did you?"

"I used the back of a knife. At most, it will hurt a little when I wake up."

"..."

No, that’s actually quite serious.

He muttered to himself, not to mention that she was using a full-bottle cutting sword that could easily kill even the metal body of the slammer.

Coupled with her original swordsmanship and physical strength...Rentaro Satomi couldn't help but worry about the two policemen.

At the same time, Lin Qiao came down from upstairs carrying two large bags.

"What about your face? You weren't captured by the dashcam on the police car, were you?"

"Shouldn't there be...? "

She said this somewhat uncertainly, because the situation was urgent and she was busy saving people, so she didn't pay much attention to her surroundings.

Lin Qiao shook her head. "You can't say this is a 'should'."

The appearance of the police has taken away a considerable number of police officers' promotion opportunities. Moreover, the police officers who break into their jurisdiction and interfere with the scene are basically treated like those who are fighting for territory, which makes a considerable number of police officers not like the police officers very much.

If those guys really get the chance, I don’t know what the result will be, but it will definitely be extremely annoying.

"Forget it, I'll go check it out again. I happen to have an acquaintance in the police system. If anything goes wrong, I can ask him for help."

"Do you need help?"

"No, you should take Yanzhu and Cui and go first. I will come to you later when I am done."

Lin Qiao took out the Chuangqi mobile phone, inserted a full bottle into it and turned it into a motorcycle while Rentaro Satomi looked at her with a look of "What's wrong with this world?"

"Oh, yes, Satomi is here. Consider it as a reward for answering the questions before. Let's use him as a laborer."

".....Mr. Lin, you really said something too much..."

"Don't worry too much about the details... Anyway, I'll leave it to you. I don't think you will just sit there and watch women and children working hard to carry heavy objects while you sit on the side and enjoy the air conditioning, right?"

"..."

After saying that, Lin Qiao waved at him and turned the handlebars of the motorcycle.

Looking at the back figure riding the motorcycle in the distance, Rentaro Satomi always felt that there was something stuck in his chest. After a long time, he sighed...

"By the way, Ms. Kisara, are you planning to move?"

Turning his head and looking at the large and small packages on the ground, he naturally thought of this

But what is a little strange is that these things on the ground are not furniture or daily necessities, but rice, flour, grain, oil, some plant seeds and... a teddy bear?

"No, I'm just going to the outer area today... and by the way, I'm going to introduce a place to that kid just now." Tendo Mugen beside him shook his head and explained.

"Outer area?"

There was a hint of difference in the words, but there seemed to be nothing good about the outer area?

"Well, even though it's in the outer district, it's still a good place. At least it won't be a problem to ensure the child's life."

"Anyway, I don't think you'll be disappointed... You might even be surprised in the end~"

When he said this, there was a gentle and proud smile on Kisara's face.

"It sounds like a paradise... Is there such a place in the outer area?"

Rentaro Satomi showed a subtle expression, but didn't say much.

After moving the things, because of a hint of curiosity, and because he was ordered by the Holy Emperor to track down the Smasher, he acted as the driver and drove the pickup truck to the outer area.

......

same moment.

In a remote abandoned building, a police car was parked outside the door, and the dashcam inside the car was destroyed by an unknown force.

The plastic shell completely melted like melted butter, and the circuits and instruments inside were shattered.

Inside the building, two policemen, one old and one young, were lying unconscious on the ground, with their pistols with the safety off falling to the ground.

Lin Qiao glanced at the dusty ground. Apart from the traces left by the two policemen who had forced the girl over, she could also see a few shoe prints that were obviously smaller in size - they should be Kigen's.

"That guy Kisara is really careless."

Although this level of clues is not enough to pinpoint her, it is better to be on the safe side.

A blue light flashed in his eyes, and Lin Qiao snapped his fingers.

Snapped--

The crisp sound was extremely clear in the silent building, and then an invisible shock wave spread out to the surroundings with it as the center.

The power contained in it is not strong, at most it makes people feel just a breeze.

But it instantly made the mark formed by the dust on the ground disappear completely.

His eyes turned to the two policemen who were choked by the dust and showed signs of waking up.

He raised his hand and pointed it at the two people. A puff of smoke came out of his hand, and the two people inside immediately screamed.

"Since we can easily defeat ordinary slammers, it's time to increase the difficulty."

"That's true, but how far should I go...?"

It can't be too strong, otherwise Miss Geng will easily become autistic; it can't be too weak, otherwise there will be no sense of urgency.

Chapter 197 Knights are not war machines, but they can be agricultural machines

peripheral area

Even though they are nominally in the same city, few people come here.

Most people living in the inner zone have no real impression of this place, or some only have the impression from before the gastrula war.

As for now?

It's dirty and dilapidated, with bones left over from ten years ago that hadn't been cleaned up yet... In short, it's the kind of place you wouldn't want to come to even if you were paid.

Of course, the most important thing is that this is the activity area of ​​a group of "gastrula".

——The cursed child.

As beings that carry the malice of humanity in this era, although they look no different from ordinary people, not many people would regard them as one of their own.

The police system is nothing more than a convenient policy to let the proto-intestinal organisms kill each other... Such outrageous remarks have become popular among the people since some time ago.

What’s even more outrageous is that there are quite a few people who support such remarks.

Therefore, even though they are not far apart, the outer area and the inner area look like two completely different worlds... Thanks to this, the children hiding here don't have to worry about being persecuted by others.

However, when he drove the pickup truck and arrived at the place mentioned by Tendo Kisara according to the instructions, Rentaro Satomi was indeed surprised.

It's like a group of ruins...It's exactly the same as other places, nothing much to say.

It’s just the lush greenery all around that is eye-catching.

Foam boxes and flower pots of various sizes were neatly stacked around, densely packed almost filling up the nearby open space, with a considerable number of plants planted in them.

At first glance, most of them are edible plants such as leeks, garlic sprouts and radishes.

Further away, it looked like someone had violently destroyed the original asphalt road, and on the plowed-out soil, there were many edible plants planted.

Even the bomb craters left over from the gastrula wars showed a similar scene.

"Is this... the outer area?"

Although this was not the first time that Rentaro Satomi came to the outer area, he had been there several times before to investigate the Mauler.
