The perverted knight also wants to protect the world

"Okay, I understand your curiosity at your age, but don't come near here anymore and go home."

There was no further questioning, they were just easily driven away.

After that, the capable woman replied into the headset: "Well, there is nothing unusual. Just like before, it's just a student who is too curious."

Well, it seems that some "predecessors" have visited before them.

No wonder the woman had such an expression just now.

"But what should we do next?" asked Eriri.

It's obvious that there are people watching here, so we can't go in openly.

"It doesn't matter. It's just an alley. Wait for me for a moment."

Gan also shook the pink crystal in his hand. With the cognitive barrier of the rough jade milk crystal, he was able to easily bypass the guard and get in to investigate.

Just like he said, this is just an alley and he doesn't need Eriri and the others. He alone is enough.

Having said this, after confirming that no one else was paying attention to them, Gan Ye activated the ability of the crystal, easily passed by the capable woman who had not yet left the entrance of the alley, and jumped into the alley.

"Huh? Just now, something happened..." The woman looked at the empty alley with some confusion, and muttered to herself in confusion.

……

As expected, the investigation yielded no results.

There was no special energy reaction, and the smell of blood at the scene had long since dissipated. Apart from the outline drawn with white lines, nothing else was found.

Well, it’s just an alley, so I don’t expect to gain much.

After all, it's impossible for the prisoner to stay here forever.

"Then what comes next should be the most classic scene in many stories, right?" Kasumigaoka smiled with an understanding expression.

"Well, it's time to go fishing next." Gan Ye grinned, looking at the gradually setting sun, with the dusk reflected in his eyes.

According to the information, a large part of the body had disappeared without a trace, in short, it had been "eaten".

Then what you need to do next is very simple.

Since the other party's goal is to prey on humans, then a person who is alone in an alley where no one is around late at night and a little girl who has no ability to resist are undoubtedly the best prey.

Well, it would be best if you were still here, Mr. Prisoner.

It's hunting time.

Chapter 301: The Returning Man

If you want to find a place suitable for shooting a horror short film, then a deserted alley late at night must be one of the best choices.

In the long and dark alley, there is only a dim street lamp that keeps flickering, illuminating a small area that seems to be a source of self-comfort.

In the darkness in the distance, it seems as if there is some indescribable twisted monster, staring at your back, and the moment you try to look back, it will bite your throat.

Even though it was still summer, the cool night air blowing across her uncovered neck still made Eriri shiver.

"Hmm...I suddenly regret following you."

"Oh, Sawamura-san, are you afraid of the dark? I'm not surprised at all."

"Wulusai, I'm not afraid of the dark, but walking in this alley at night makes me feel eerie and uncomfortable."

In the dark alley, Eriri and Kasumigaoka walked side by side.

There was no conversation between the two of them, but they could hear what the other was thinking.

That was a mental network developed on the knight belt systems of several people with the help of the observer's debugging. It had been used in the conversation between Kan'ye and the observer before, and now it was installed on the belts of the two.

Although usually, Gan Ye and his friends still prefer to talk face to face and with their mouths.

But in such a necessary situation, it is better to speak silently in your heart.

"Thank you for your hard work. I will make some simple midnight snacks to reward you two later." Kanye's voice came from the other side.

"Haha, then I'll look forward to Knight's skills." Kasumigaoka Utaha said with a smile.

Now he was not with Eriri, but on the other side of the area, walking through a narrow path with few people.

At this moment, both he and Eriri were acting as bait.

Holding a video phone in his hand, he pretended to be very curious and filmed everything around, acting like a desperate guy who had heard rumors and was out exploring late at night.

Generally, this kind of people die the fastest in various horror works.

Compared to staying up late at night and wandering around the alleys doing nothing, the behavior of clearly having the word "bait" written on your face is more likely to arouse the other party's vigilance.

"But it's so tiring to keep walking like this. How long will it take?" Eriri raised her head and looked at the eaves that covered the sky.

Above the shadows, it seemed as if there were eyes secretly peeping at them.

They had been wandering around here for nearly two hours. Could it be that they really had to stay here all night? Not to mention the issue of energy, the lonely and gloomy atmosphere around them was torturous enough.

"How is that possible? After all, we're not sure whether the criminal is still in Shinjuku. He won't hang around all night." Gan Ye unfolded the map and stared at his surroundings.

I marked the alleys I had visited on it, but didn't find anything unusual.

After all, there has been a murder, and no one would stay outside at this time.

I didn't sense any unusual aura, maybe the other party is really no longer here.

"Anyway, let's first visit the places around here that we haven't visited, and then we'll meet up in the center." Gan Ye said softly.

After all, it's just an investigation, and we're not sure whether the other party is still in Shinjuku, so there's no need to look for him all night.

From the fact that there was only one victim, we can basically infer that the number of the other party should not be large, and it is very likely that there was only one individual. This is different from the fact that all the evil spirits came out in full force at the beginning.

After we get back, I'll ask the observer to work overtime and ask her to pay more attention to the nearby areas. Although it may not be possible to take care of every corner, it's still good to be able to lock onto the opponent's approximate position.

"Sure, Mr. Human, it would be even better if there was a dessert snack to go with the overtime work~"

"Yes, please."

After dealing with the observer, Gan Ye continued to look around.

His speed was a little faster than Eriri's, and he had basically gone around the entire area.

There was nothing special found from Eriri's side, maybe the other party really was... huh?

At that moment, Gan Ye paused, and the whole person disappeared from the spot in an instant. His feet stepped on the bulge in the wall, and he climbed onto the roof in the blink of an eye.

He frowned and looked around, with a hint of seriousness and doubt in his eyes:

"Strange, does this feel wrong?"

Just like before, I had an inexplicable feeling of being watched, as if someone was secretly observing me, but in fact I didn't sense any presence.

He has been resting well recently, so it shouldn't be because he is too tired and has hallucinations.

"What's going on?" Ying Lili's voice asked.

"No, nothing." Ganye replied in a deep voice, "How are things going over there... Really? Let's stop here today and prepare for the reunion."

"Well, we'll be heading over to your place right away."

"Be careful on the road."

Ganya warned and looked around again.

There is nothing superfluous except the silent night.

Gan Ye took a deep look at the direction where the feeling of being peeped came from. He jumped off the roof in silence.

……

As expected, there was no gain today.

This is understandable. It is indeed difficult to find a criminal whose existence is unknown in an urban area.

"Phew - let's see if there will be any more attacks in the next few days."

Gan Ye let out a breath, turned off the phone in his hand which was about to run out of battery, and put it away.

"Let's hope we can find the criminal before there are new victims." Kasumigaoka said with a frown.

Although they knew it was normal for victims to continue to appear before the target was found, they were helpless.

But this does not conflict with their desire not to have anyone continue to be attacked.

Be it Kanye, Eriri, or Kasumigaoka, none of them would be in the mood to joke about this matter.

"Let's go back first. We have to go to school tomorrow, and it's not good to go to bed too late." Gan Ye said.

Even though it's late at night.

Eriri has already told her aunt that she will stay overnight at her house, and for the sake of convenience, Kasumigaoka-senpai will also stay at Mikiya's place for one night.

"Observer, please open it... huh? Wait..." Let the observer open the transmission device, and the words of the few people returning came to an abrupt end.

Kan'ye's ears twitched, and he turned to look at Eriri and Kasumigaoka, raising his eyebrows slightly.

The other party also responded to Gan Ye's greeting. Listening to the faint noise coming from his ears, they all turned their eyes to a dark alley not far away.

There were footsteps coming from there.

"This is really, it's so late, why haven't you three gone home to sleep yet? Are you lost?"

Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.

It was a male voice that sounded very gentlemanly, but with a hint of sarcasm and frivolity, mixed with a malice that did not match the kind concern.

coming.

Kanye looked at the two girls and could see the surprise flashing in each other's eyes.

I didn't expect that when I was finally preparing to go back, I would have an unexpected gain.

"Good boy, you can't stay outside so late. Haven't you watched the news? There's a murderer around here recently." The owner of the voice walked out of the shadows and exposed his figure under the moonlight.

He was a middle-aged man wearing a washed-out sweatshirt, a pair of black-framed glasses, and a little stubble on his face. His smiling expression made him look like a very kind uncle next door.

Of course, that is assuming that the other party has greed and brutality hidden in their eyes.

"who is it?"

Pretending to be very scared, protecting Eriri and the other girl behind him, Kanye asked loudly.

The other party's breath...didn't feel any fluctuations of special abilities, but could vaguely smell the faint smell of blood.

This kind of feeling makes people instinctively reject it. No wonder Eriri's first reaction was that it was an evil ghost. It seems to be something similar.

"Oh, sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet." As he said this, the man slowly approached the three people with a malicious smile, "But there's actually no need to do that, after all..."

The sound of air passing through.

The airflow blew across my nose, and it felt a little numb. It seemed to be quite powerful, almost as powerful as a car collision.

The man suddenly swung his fist, brushing against Gan Ye's nose.

Feeling the force just now, Gan Ye was absolutely certain that the other party attacked with the intention of smashing his head with one punch.

"what?"

The man made an odd sound of confusion as he looked at Kanye, who had retreated to avoid his sneak attack.

Perhaps he didn't expect that this seemingly small human in front of him could actually dodge his attack.

Looking at Kan'ye's expression that suddenly became calm and serious, how could a man whose IQ had not dropped realize that he was being lured?

"Wow, police officers? There are actually some so young ones."

The man who treated Kanye and his companions as policemen who were out to fish did not show any fear. Instead, he seemed to be somewhat excited.

In his opinion, perhaps prey like them who could resist might be more to his liking.

Or maybe there are other reasons.

But no matter what, the other party attacked, and this will not change.

"So what? You're just a human being. Just become my food!"
