My fiancée Yukino

Chishou Natsuyo blew on it, then took a piece of beef, squinted his eyes, and chewed it with satisfaction.

After swallowing it in one gulp, Chishou Natsuyo pushed the skewer towards Luo Bai's mouth.

"Brother, you eat too."

"Row."

Luo Bai smiled and nodded, then tried a piece as well.

"Hmm, this meat is well marinated. You can have the rest. I'll grill the rest of the meat first."

Let Chishou Natsume carry the skewers herself, and Luo Bai will continue to do the work of grilling the meat.

Besides Luo Bai's side, there was also a barbecue grill set up next to him, which was being prepared by Luo's mother.

Two grills were started at the same time, and the meat was all cooked in about ten minutes. A lot of seafood was also grilled, and two eggplants were grilled as well.

After placing the last plate of grilled meat on the table on the lawn in the yard, Luo Bai sat down between Yukino and Yang Nai and ate with everyone.

Just as Luo Bai finished eating a skewer of grilled meat, his phone rang.

It was a call from Zhen Tu Huo Jin.

Luo Bai picked up his phone and pressed the answer button.

Good evening, Mr. Truly Rustic.

"Good evening, Luo Jun. I have two things to tell you today." Zhen Tu Huo Jin got straight to the point. "First, regarding the treatment for Gastrum, we've developed it. We've tested it, and there are no problems. It can cure the virus. Please bring Xiao Xia Shi over tomorrow. The second thing is about going to that world. That's also been decided. We'll set off next Monday. Is everything alright with you?"

"That's a bit fast, but I'm fine with it. I'll ask for leave in a bit."

Luo Bai nodded. "How many people are going? You're going, right?"

“That’s right. This time, besides you and me, I’ll have Shinobu Kocho come with us, and then there’ll be Tengen Uzui and the other Pillars, leading the action team. Of course, bringing these people is just in case. Our goal isn’t to fight Gastrea to the death. That world is basically occupied by Gastrea. If we rely on ourselves, unless we unleash a large-scale, world-destroying magic, it will take an unknown amount of time to wipe them all out.”

"Indeed, and the people in that world aren't worth our much effort. We should just do what we need to do."

Zhen Tu Huojin said with a smile, "Yes, that's right. Then I won't disturb you guys having dinner any longer, Luo Jun. Remember to bring Xia Shi over tomorrow, and we can talk about the details when we meet."

"Okay, no problem. But I have to go to Tokyo tomorrow, so I should come early, around 8:30, okay?"

"No problem, I'm at the base."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

After ending the call, Luo Bai looked at everyone.

"The virus treatment is complete. Xia Shi can go for the injection tomorrow. Then next Monday, I'll go to that world with Mato and the others. Shinobu, you come too."

Shinobu Kocho nodded: "Okay, I understand. I'll be prepared."

Luo's mother looked at her son and said with some worry, "Won't there be any danger?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen." Luo Bai said with a smile. "I don't know how many of us there are, or how many other action teams we'll be with. Our mission isn't to fight Gastrea, but simply to bring back those injured Cursed Children."

Of course, without the Cursed Child, how to deal with those Gastrea is no longer their concern.

And anyway, that world

Humans don't care about the cursed children; their minds are basically twisted. Luo Bai and the others won't feel any psychological burden. Let those guys bear the consequences themselves.

Volume 1: Chapter 328 Departure (2/2)

The weekend passed in the blink of an eye, and after treatment, Natsume Senju's gastroenteritis was completely cured.

After spending a day with Shiyu in Tokyo, Luo Bai returned to Chiba to make some preparations, took leave, and then arrived at the base with Shinobu Kocho on Monday morning.

Upon their arrival, they immediately spotted Makoto Makoto, dressed in a suit with his hands behind his back, discussing the mission with Captains Uzui Tengen and the others.

Seeing Luo Bai and Kocho Shinobu arrive, Mato Hachizuki smiled and nodded: "Good morning, then we'll gather the team members and then we can set off."

"Yes, we're fine with it."

Arriving at Uzui Tengen and Iguro Obanai's side, Luo Bai said with a smile, "We'll be working together from now on, and this won't be an easy mission."

Yu Sui Tianyu crossed his arms and nodded: "Yes, we were all shocked for a long time after learning about the situation in that world."

Obanai Iguro also said, "This is clearly the key to saving the world and fighting against the Antiguus, yet those people are doing things like rejecting the Cursed Child. Not only do they not offer any help, but they also harm us at every turn. I really don't know where they got their brains."

Kanroji Mitsuri and the others standing nearby nodded in agreement, completely baffled.

Hinatsuru, one of Uzui Tengen's wives, then asked, "After we go there and bring those children back, what's the next step? How should we settle them?"

Shinobu Kocho said, "Judging from the talents that Xia Shi has shown, these children who can freely control the Gastrea genes in their bodies have various different talents. After we bring them back, we will first place them in the orphanage that has been prepared, and arrange special personnel to take care of them so that they can adapt to this world and grow up like ordinary children. When they grow up, the Guardian Organization can provide them with jobs, or they can go out to make a living on their own."

Kanroji Mitsuri said, "Xiao Xia is very smart, extremely smart. In just a few days, she has already learned the pinyin of Chinese and can communicate in some Chinese. She has also learned a lot of math. She can recite the multiplication table in a day!"

"Oh! So smart!" Uzui Tengen said in surprise. "In that case, these children are indeed outstanding talents with a promising future. However, they are still so young, so let them enjoy their childhood first. That is the main reason we went to rescue them."

Five minutes later, the action team was assembled. The team consisted of twenty people in total, and with Luo Bai and his group, the number of people was not very large.

Although the number of people is not large, each of these team members has mastered the breathing technique and is equipped with an enhanced Nichirin Blade made by the local craftsmen, making their combat power quite formidable.

Moreover, each person's bracelet contains high-tech firearms, enabling both close-quarters and long-range combat, and also providing strong teamwork capabilities.

It can be said that as long as you don't encounter the strongest Gastrea, there will basically be no unexpected events.

Of course, this time we need to guard against not only Gastrea, but also the humans of that world.

Compared to the Gastrea that appear openly, the human mind is even more unpredictable.

Looking at the assembled personnel, Masato Mokuzu said, "The specific tasks have been sent to your respective communication devices. We will be arriving in the Tokyo area of ​​another world. Once there, all team members will split up and disperse to secretly investigate the situation of the Cursed Children and their locations. Also, investigate the distribution of power in the Tokyo area, and be careful not to be discovered. I will send you the follow-up tasks later."

"Yes!"

"Then, let's go."

Nodding, Makoto Makoto waved his hand, and a two-meter-high teleportation portal appeared beside him. He then stepped inside first.

Luo Bai and Kocho Shinobu followed closely behind, followed by Uzui Tengen and the rest of the action team members.

In a daze, it seemed that not much time had passed. When the concept of time became somewhat blurred, the scene before Luo Bai's eyes suddenly changed.

When I came to my senses, I found myself in an abandoned building.

Makoto was already standing here, watching the situation outside.

Looking at Luo Bai, Makoto Kakuzu waved: "We've arrived. This is the Tokyo area. Come and experience it."

Walking up to Makoto, Luo Bai glanced at the sparsely populated street outside, frowned, and said, "There's an unsettling feeling about this."

Masato Mokuzu nodded: "That's right, that's exactly how it is. This world has decayed to an almost irreversible degree. At first, when I heard Lord Lucoa say that, I was a little skeptical, thinking that perhaps it hadn't reached that point yet. But now that I'm here, I see that even if we don't take the Cursed Child away, this world will ultimately not be saved. Can you sense the aura in the distance?"

"Yes, I can feel it."

Luo Bai responded and looked in the direction Zhen Tu Huojin was pointing. "There's a very strange and powerful aura, but it moves very slowly, extremely slowly. That must be a high-level Gastrea in this world. Can you handle it?"

Masato Mokujin's expression was also somewhat solemn at this moment.

"We can continue, but we don't know their specific abilities or how many of them there are. In the current situation, these Gastrea are confined outside human areas and won't attack easily, so we don't need to bother them. We can just do our own thing."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the team members who had all arrived.

"Information personnel, get to work. Hacker into this network and create a legitimate identity for all of us."

"Yes!"

The two information officers responded and then took over their shift, heading towards the building's staircase.

Half an hour later, everyone's communication devices rang, displaying their identity information in this world.

"Identity issues resolved. Now, everyone can get to work. As per the mission's requirements, report your progress daily."

Following Masato Mokuzu's orders, everyone left the building and dispersed, infiltrating the Tokyo area.

Luo Bai naturally acted together with Shinobu Kocho.

Holding Shinobu's hand as they walked down the street, Luo Bai looked at his phone, which was connected to the world's network, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "There's something wrong with the time. Lucoa told us when we arrived here, but that's quite a distance. It's been almost two years. Is this the world that's about to be destroyed? The flow of time is all wrong."

Shinobu Kocho frowned slightly and asked, "Then what about the flow of time between us here and our own world?"

"Well, I don't think we need to worry too much. Masato Kakuzu should have taken that into consideration. Let's contact him around noon and ask him."

As they spoke, the two finally arrived at a bustling downtown area.

Volume 1: Chapter 329 Renting a House (1/2)

This place is a bit more lively than the previous one, but it still can't compare to their own city center. The number of people is about 60% less, less than half.

After scanning the pedestrians on the street, Shinobu Kocho said softly, "As expected, there isn't a single cursed child among all the people here."

Luo Bai nodded: "Of course they're gone, those children have all been eliminated."

"No way, they couldn't possibly be here unless they're an Initiator working with the police. But even Initiators mostly work alongside the police, not in places like this. Alternatively, they could be someone who hasn't been discovered and has completely hidden their identity as a Cursed Child. But there aren't many people like that, and even fewer who can manage it."

As they talked, the two went to a snack shop by the roadside and bought two croquettes.

While eating, Luo Bai looked at the police officer rankings he had found on his phone.

In addition to basic information about the police officers, the website also includes information about the individuals who initiated the requests. All of this information is available on the official website, making it convenient for people to contact the police and submit their requests.

Taking a bite of her croquette, Shinobu Kocho looked at the series of messages on it and asked, "Are these kids who work with the police officers also being taken away?"

“Most likely we won’t have that chance.” Luo Bai shook his head. “Some of the police officers here might be using their Initiators as tools, but there are still some who are quite good to their partners. Let’s leave those for last. Perhaps we could consider bringing back some of the officers with good character to bolster the Guardian organization’s strength? Let’s contact Zhen Tu Huojin during lunch. We could let him get to know those officers.”

This kind of negotiation work, especially dealing with police officers who have experienced all sorts of human dangers, is more suitable for Zhen Tu Huojin.

After wandering around the downtown area for a while, they saw a rental agency and went straight there to look for a place to stay for the next period of time.

Since it was a rental, there was no need to be too particular. In addition, the cursed child was unlikely to appear in downtown areas or wealthy neighborhoods, so when looking for a house, Luo Bai also looked for a relatively remote place.

After spending some time, I finally found a clean apartment before lunch.

Although the apartment was small, it was more than enough for Luo Bai and Kocho Shinobu to live in.

Looking at the cluster of old-style apartments, Luo Bai felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Could this mean we've found the protagonist's place directly?

Without thinking too much, Shinobu and I tidied up the apartment a bit and then went out to buy groceries.

After returning from grocery shopping, Shinobu Kocho cooked, while Luo Bai contacted Masato Kakuzu.

After listening to Luo Bai's idea, Makoto Kazuki nodded in agreement: "Yes, if there are suitable candidates among these police officers, they can indeed be recruited. Luo-kun has given me a very good direction. I was just thinking about whether I should go directly to talk to the ruler of Tokyo. Since you brought it up, I'll go find some police officers first, and I can also gather more information."

The ruler of Tokyo, the Holy Emperor?

That girl who had ideals, but whose power was usurped?

The Holy Emperor is indeed an option to contact, and perhaps we can also meet the real ruler behind this place, Kikunojo Tendou.

But before that, we must first find the cursed child hiding in the shadows in the Tokyo area.

As for the cursed child, Masato Kakuzu also provided useful information.

"As for the cursed children, they should all be hiding in the outer area, where there are basically no people living. Even if there are, they are mostly homeless people. However, because the outer area is quite complicated, the team has not yet found the specific address."

"The outer area? I see. It's always good to get some useful information." Luo Bai nodded, then looked out the window and saw a young man in a black suit riding a bicycle toward the apartment building. There was a shopping bag hanging on the bicycle, which looked like it contained vegetables.

"As for my place, there seems to be a police officer living in the apartment I rented. There should also be some Initiators there. We'll find an opportunity to get to know them and ask them for relevant information."

"Really? You're really lucky."

After exchanging information, Luo Bai hung up the phone, and Kocho Shinobu just happened to bring out the lunch she had prepared.

"Luo Jun, come and eat~~ Luckily we brought a lot of ingredients with us. The selection here is really limited, and many of the ingredients are not of good quality, but the prices are very high."

Luo Bai smiled and said, "It's already quite good that humanity in this world has managed to survive until now. Let's not ask for too much in this regard. As for food, let's eat first. If we run out, we'll have Zhen Tu Huojin arrange for people to go back and prepare more. We're here to carry out a mission, not to suffer. We can't make ourselves suffer in this way."

The two sat down facing each other at a small table and happily ate their first meal here. At the same time, Luo Bai also talked about the information he had just obtained from Zhen Tu Huo Jin.

"The outer area..."

Shinobu Kocho nodded, picked up a piece of fried chicken from Luo Bai's plate, and said, "Should we go over there? With your superpowers, Luo-kun, you should be able to find some clues, right?"

"Sure, but there's no need to rush. Let's learn more about this area first."

Incidentally, Luo Bai also wanted to wait a day or two to see how far the plot had progressed.

Luo Bai hadn't read the original novel of the anime "Black Bullet," and only remembered a little bit of the anime's plot. He needed some special events to stimulate his memory recovery.

Kocho Shinobu had no problem with Luo Bai's arrangements; she just needed to do her logistical work, which was simple.

After having lunch and resting for a while, the two went out again.
