Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

"Don't disappoint me on Hermit Purple's debut after its growth."

"Staring intently at the television," Joseph muttered to himself.

Soon, Joseph had a complete picture of everything that had happened from last night until early morning.

until--

'Fujiang! Fujiang! '

Joseph's expression was quite unpleasant as he watched Masao Yamabuki frantically rubbing Tomie Kawakami's limbs and internal organs onto his body.

And then, an accident happened.

Chapter Seventy: The Black Face

In the video, Tomie's eyes suddenly become bright as she lies on the ground.

A black flame erupted around her, but Masao Yamabuki did not react at all.

Or rather, this scene was something only Joseph could see.

The black flames gave off an evil feeling.

In a daze, Joseph seemed to see a malicious face emerge from Tomie's black hair.

Jealousy, hatred, pain, anger.

These words all seem to fit this face perfectly.

The willful and arrogant Tomie is not just a simple jealous person; she is not a normal being at the core of her being.

Her existence is the best embodiment of the capricious and dark side.

It seems that all the darker aspects of human nature can be found in Tomie.

She is the embodiment of the dark side.

"This is!"

The moment the black ghost face appeared, Joseph was momentarily dazed, and even the control of Hermit Purple fluctuated briefly, causing the image on the television to become somewhat unstable.

Fortunately, with the help of the mind-blocking alloy, Joseph was not seriously affected.

When he came to his senses, the scene on the screen was still a typical murder and dismemberment scene.

Okay, maybe it's not ordinary.

Despite having countless doubts, Joseph patiently continued reading.

Since Hermit Purple grew up, Joseph has developed a certain sense of what might happen in the unseen world.

So far, Hermit Purple has not shown any signs of danger.

So Joseph decided to replay yesterday's events.

"Whoo~"

Finally, when the three Tomies left one by one, Joseph lowered his hand.

To be honest, the idea of ​​one person growing out of another is inherently a very irrational thing.

Not to mention a person lying on the ground devouring human limbs and chunks of flesh.

If Joseph hadn't been so determined, he would have almost thrown up his dinner last night.

After checking the scene one last time, Joseph turned and left the room.

There's nothing useful left here.

"Investigator Joseph".

As soon as he stepped out the door, a member of the research institute walked up to Joseph and whispered something to him.

The gist of it is that some idiot tried to force his way into the research institute's blockade, but got hit by a paralysis bullet.

Joseph was shocked to hear this.

This was the first time he had ever encountered someone so stubborn as to force their way in.

"Take me to see it."

After hesitating for a moment, Joseph decided to go and see this stubborn man.

If the other person was also bewitched by that guy, perhaps we can take them back.

Meanwhile, in Tokyo, Tomie Kawakami seems to have discovered something quite interesting.

"The prestigious Shuchiin Academy?"

Inside a French restaurant, Tomie Kawakami listlessly poked at the foie gras on her plate with her knife.

He casually scooped out some caviar and spread it on the surface of the foie gras, then continued poking at it.

"Yes, Tomie, do you want to go?"

Across from Tomie, a young man in a suit spoke earnestly.

His name is unimportant, because he will soon be ruthlessly abandoned by Tomie.

Of course, it's also possible that he killed Tomie beforehand.

"I don't want to at all."

Tomie casually tossed the knife aside, indicating that she had no desire to go to the prestigious private school.

The rules are numerous and tedious.

Tomie only wanted to enjoy life and squander it.

but....

"Are there many rich young ladies in there?"

A slight smile played on Tomie's lips as she spoke softly.

The men around her were all attracted to Tomie, and no matter how much her female companion pinched her soft flesh, it was no use.

Some of the more impulsive female companions stormed off in anger, but they couldn't get the men to take their eyes off Tomie.

"Yes, most of the family's children are sent there."

"That's it."

Nodding, Tomie had a general idea of ​​what her next goal would be.

Let's find an old man who's nearing the end of his life to be our godfather.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Zhen, having finished his slacking off, rushed to the research institute base.

Joseph has just sent the preliminary data to Luo Zhen.

Chiba is such a small place, and the two of them didn't have any division of labor before.

Ryoma roughly understands Joseph's mission, and Joseph roughly understands Ryoma's mission as well.

Upon seeing the information sent by Joseph, Rōjin immediately recognized the famous protagonist of the horror manga.

"Why is Kawakami Tomie suddenly appearing?"

Slapping his forehead, Luo Zhen felt that the world was getting stranger and stranger.

At first, there were just some ordinary weirdos, like spider monsters and bat monsters.

Luo Zhen can handle these aberrant creatures on his own.

But lately, the things that have appeared have become increasingly bizarre.

Silence or Tomie.

None of these problems can be solved simply by force.

However, Tomie is much easier to deal with compared to others.

Aside from its eerie allure and regenerative abilities that allow it to regrow by shedding blood.

Tomie's physical abilities are just those of an ordinary high school girl.

In terms of intelligence, it wasn't particularly terrifying.

However, people who come into contact with Tomie experience a drop in IQ, which makes Tomie seem like she has everything under control.

Containing them is not particularly difficult.

"JOJO, how's the situation now?"

After changing into the research institute uniform, Luo Zhen looked at Joseph and asked.

So far, Joseph is still in charge of following up, and Rozen has only received some electronic materials.

"Not good."

Joseph, who had just finished a physical and mental examination in the lab, said while buttoning his shirt:

"Of the two Tomies in Tokyo, one of them came into contact with the Dragon Ball team leader five minutes ago and was immediately adopted as his daughter."

"The other one is currently staying at the home of a real estate developer."

"There's no new news from Hokkaido yet, it's just been all about shopping, shopping, shopping."

"All three of them on Chiba's side are under surveillance."

"One is having a lavish meal, one is trying to get in touch with the Kotobuki family, and one is... visiting an amusement park."

"Things are currently quite stable."

On the way to the meeting room, Joseph briefly explained the current situation to Rozen.

The research institute originally planned to carry out a containment operation directly.

However, the operation was suspended after Luo Zhen provided some additional information.

For example, Tomie shares memories with others, and as long as there is a drop of blood, Tomie can grow back.

The only saving grace is that the Tomies hate each other, so there won't be a situation where an extra Tomie accidentally appears.

Based on these factors, the three research bases are preparing to launch containment operations simultaneously to avoid causing greater chaos.

As for those few people now?

They all have unclean places, so if they die, they die.

Human rights agencies are not charitable organizations, and the term "soft-hearted" cannot be applied to them.

Chapter 71 Hello, Kotobuki

Inside the meeting room, the site supervisors from the three bases were discussing Tomie.

As things stand, Tomie is far from being a difficult case.

Although the other party has a strong ability to charm, there are quite a few people in the research institute who are not easily charmed.

Even here in Chiba, there are those whose resistance to charm is at its maximum.

"So, can we do it in a tentative timeframe of one hour?"

The Tokyo station manager inquired.

Although everyone is on the same level in terms of rank, everyone knows the customs of this godforsaken place.

To Tokyoites, everything outside of Tokyo is considered the countryside.

Therefore, the Tokyo station manager unconsciously put himself in a dominant position.

There's nothing we can do about it; after all, Tokyo's forces are indeed much stronger in comparison.

"can."

"Pointless."

Soon, the containment operation targeting Tomie officially began.

Luo Zhen didn't know the situation at the other two bases, but his position here was to directly surround the location of the three Tomie.

"By the way, what's going on with Tomie from the Dragon Ball team?"
