The story we started

[“Look carefully, Kousaka-kun. This is a ‘weapon’ created by the most advanced technology of mankind in this era. It is also a ‘Kuaga’ that was created by our own hands and belongs to our era.”]

[She walked to the hanging figure, reached out and gently stroked the lines of small English words engraved on the right chest, narrowed her eyes behind the glasses, and gently opened her lips and teeth to read them out one by one.]

"The lord has given me suffering, given my people trial with thorns, and made demony."

"I greet trial ves and broken wood as shields."

[Hina Ebina's voice, which originally gave people a sense of cynicism, rose in pitch at this moment and became solemn and mysterious, like an ancient witch reciting the Sanskrit words engraved in the Bible, accompanied by the ancient and primitive breath coming from the past. ]

[“If Gurongi is a test bestowed by God on the people of this era, then this is our answer.”]

[“This is the ‘warrior’ that humanity will rely on to overcome this disaster, the sword of civilization forged by science.”]

[“Its name is——”]

【“gulkiller.”】

16. Kyosuke Kosaka's Past 8-in- K

Chiba Prefecture, Chiba Benzun High School, Health Center. mijiashe.com

"This is the 'Kuagaku' created by humans of this era?"

Kyosuke Kousaka, who had just finished a call, slowly put down his phone, his eyes fixed on the figure on the screen, whose back was to the strong light and whose shape could not be fully seen. His face, which was originally covered in dust and dirt due to being scolded by his father, could not hide the shock.

"So, in the future, I will be able to fight those Gurongi directly like Zaimokuza!?"

Thinking that in the future "Kousaka Kyosuke" will be able to wear this cool high-tech armor like "Zaimokuza Yoshiki" to fight those unconfirmed life forms to the death, the love for weapons and mechas flowing deep in the man's bones makes Kyosaka's blood boil.

A man is a boy until he dies. Every man has a superhero in his heart, and Kyosuke Kosaka is no exception.

During the period when he was obsessed with special effects films, he had always fantasized about having his own hero costume and even practiced his own transformation poses. However, by coincidence, his sister saw him posing in front of the TV in the living room and laughed at him mercilessly.

At that time, Kousaka Kirino's eyes, which were a mixture of contempt, pity, and even care, will always be unforgettable to him.

When his dream comes true, you can imagine how happy Kyosuke Kousaka will feel.

If the venue had been suitable, he would probably have wanted to express his excitement through dancing and laughing wildly, but because he didn't want to end up in social disgrace, Kousaka Kyosuke could only stay in the quilt, breathing heavily, staring at the light screen with red eyes.

"Go! In the future, I will teach those monsters a lesson!"

But at this moment, the picture on the screen changed again, almost making the excited Kyosuke Kousaka unable to breathe.

【Kanto Medical University Hospital, Tokyo. 】

[“That day, a group of robbers had planned in advance and used information provided by an insider in the bank to surround the money transport vehicle that was escorting the money transport vehicle to the bank. They used heavy firepower weapons purchased from the black market to slaughter all the guards and robbed all the money.”]

[“At that time, a police car happened to be patrolling the area, and the two sides engaged in a real-life chase. The number of police vehicles and people increased in the process. The robbers were trapped with no way to escape. In order to avoid leaving any traces and facilitate their escape, they drove the car they had robbed earlier into a coffee shop in the city, took the hostages inside, and used the coffee shop as a base to confront the police who arrived later.”]

[Saori Makishima said this and took the water cup on the table next to her. She tilted her head back and drank the whole cup of water in one breath. Her beautifully curved neck moved as she swallowed.]

[“Hic… What I said above is basically the same as the news reports outside. There is no major deviation.”]

【boom! 】

[She put the empty cup back on the table heavily. It was more like a fall than a fall. The noise was so loud that even the woodblock next to it was shaken.]

[“I know this too. After that, the criminals confronted the police for more than two days, almost three days. In the end, it seems that the police, with the cooperation of the hostages inside, arrested all the robbers in one fell swoop, and all the hostages trapped in the cafe were also rescued, and none of them were in danger of life.”]

[Zaimokuza recalled the incident report he saw on the Internet that year and said hesitantly. ”]

[…As for the results, it is exactly as you said, Mr. Zaimokuza. At the end of that incident, except for the few unlucky ones at the beginning, basically no hostage was in "life danger"."]

[When she said this, Makishima Saori's eyes became inexplicably dark for some reason, but she continued to speak.]

[“And at that time, Kosaka-kun and his sister happened to be in that cafe.”]

[“Huh? In other words… Mr. Kosaka and her sister were also among the hostages in that coffee shop at the time?”]

[Hearing this, Zaimokuza's eyes became somewhat surprised, and he immediately realized something. ]

[“Then, could the mysterious hostage who cooperated with the police mentioned in the news be…”]

[“Yes, it’s Kousaka-kun.”]

[Makishima Saori nodded, confirming his guess.]

[“And the police officer who cooperated with Kosaka-kun was his father, Kosaka Daisuke.”]

[“At that time, Kosaka-kun and his sister were attending an offline online fan meeting in the cafe, and then the robber’s car suddenly stopped at the gate, blocking the exit and rushing in with guns, and immediately controlled everyone in the cafe.”]

[“They were obviously very experienced. After decisively shooting one person to control the originally panicked crowd, they smoothly blocked all exits of the entire cafe, confiscated the mobile phones of all hostages, and tied up a hostage at each entrance, took photos with their own mobile phones and threw them out, in order to make the police afraid to take action.”]

[“Then the robbers used the hostages as shields and came to a standoff with the surrounding police.”]

【Zaimokuza discovered something strange, that is, when Makishima Saori referred to the robbers of the past, she never used the Japanese word "they" (彼らが) to refer to humans, but "they" (それ) to refer to livestock. 】

[In addition, her tone contained a barely concealed hatred, and although she tried to suppress it with a calm voice, that dark emotion was still clearly detected by Zaimokuza's keen sixth sense.]

[He could only remain silent about this, because he knew almost nothing about the inside story of the robbery that year, so it was wiser to keep listening. ]

【…The robbers made demands, asking the police to prepare a vehicle for them to escape, a speedboat at the harbor, and another 100 million yen in cash as compensation for their “mental damages” for being chased by the police.】

[Makishima Saori's tone became sarcastic here, and she emphasized the words "mental damages".]

[“Faced with this provocative act that had no intention of concealing its intentions, the police naturally rejected it with righteous words and without hesitation.”]

【“——Then, the robbers threw the owner of the coffee shop off the roof.”】

[“The scene of the boss being thrown from the building and falling to the ground covered in blood was broadcasted by all the reporters at the scene. Under the huge pressure of public opinion, the police, who had originally said “we will never negotiate any conditions with the robbers”, immediately changed their attitude and changed their previous tough attitude to appease the robbers in a gentle manner, delaying time while looking for a solution.”]

[“This incident that caused great trouble to the police and caused a sensation in society finally had a turning point... and the people who brought this turning point were Kosaka-kun and his father.”]

【“Mr. Kosaka?”】

【Zaimokuza perked up when he heard this, and sat up straight subconsciously.】

【He knew that the key point was coming. 】

[“Although Kosaka-kun had no intention of becoming a police officer at that time, he had learned some police skills intentionally or unintentionally under the influence of his father, who was a police officer. He had learned both those that were generally taught in police academies and those that were not.”]

[“This includes a skill - Morse code.”]

[“Fortunately, before Kosaka-kun’s phone was confiscated by the criminals, he used the remaining time to send a final Line message in time, and the sender was his father.”]

[“His father immediately drove to the scene after learning that his children were among the hostages in the cafe, negotiated with the police officer in charge of the robbery, and joined the case, using the skills he had taught Kosaka-kun before.”]

[“The police set up several high-powered searchlights outside the cafe and pointed them at the windows of the cafe. They sent a code to Kosaka-kun inside using a specific Morse frequency - stabilize the situation, wait for the opportunity, and be ready to cooperate.”]

[“So…what happened next?”]

[Makishima Saori suddenly stopped talking here, and her face became very gloomy. ]

[Although he felt something was wrong, Zaimokuza still asked anxiously out of curiosity. ]

[“Afterwards, did the criminals succeed in rescuing the hostages intact with the cooperation of Kosaka-kun and the police, just as the report said?”]

[“Although the hostages were rescued in the end, they were ‘intact’? Hehehe…”]

[The female doctor laughed indifferently, her bare hands clenched into fists.]

[“On the contrary, Mr. Zaimokuza, what I am about to say is the key part of this robbery case, and it is also the biggest reason why the outside media will never broadcast the entire case.”]

[“Some people, for the sake of their own face and selfishness, have eliminated the truth about this part of the incident, as if nothing had happened, but this does not mean that no one knows about it!”]

[A sinister atmosphere spread out from Makishima Saori's body like a surging swarm of snakes, winding its way toward Zaimokuza, starting from his shoes and climbing up to his upper body. An indescribable chill and stickiness came from every inch of his skin, as if a poisonous snake had slithered past.]

[He had a feeling that what he was about to hear might completely destroy some of his perceptions, like an unfinished building that was smashed by a hammer and could never be put back together.]

[He looked at Makishima Saori, whose eyes revealed undisguised hatred for the first time, and subconsciously wanted to persuade her to stop, but he still resisted the urge.]

[Because Zaimokuza wants to know what happened in Kousaka Kyousuke's past. 】

[“Originally, the robbery case did not need to be delayed for so long. The most fundamental reason was actually that there were problems within the police.”]

[Makishima Saori spoke in a low voice, slowly telling the truth about the past that was buried in the darkness.]

[“Among the hostages held in that coffee shop, there was one with a very special identity. She was the wife of a high-ranking official in the Metropolitan Police Department.”]

[“At the same time, she is also the mistress of a senior political official.”]

【"……ha?"】

【Zaimokuza was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and felt that there might be something wrong with his ears at this moment.】

[What the hell? Were we just discussing the police and gangster movies where the police outsmarted the vicious gangsters? How did the conversation suddenly turn to the aristocratic gossip and erotic scandals that the people love to hear? How did these two topics, which are completely different in nature, get connected? ]

[Is it true that the director of "Fate" had a brain attack and turned the wrong channel? It's like Cinderella found a fairy, put on her beautiful clothes, put on her precious crystal shoes, and got on her beloved pumpkin carriage, but after getting off the car, she found that the ball of her beloved prince had turned into a fight in the furniture store. The handsome face of the prince in her dream turned into Chen Jiaju with a big nose, and then the other party picked up the stunned Cinderella and used her as a stick! ]

[There were so many complaints that Zaimokuza's face twitched, but when he looked at the beautiful face opposite him with a gloomy expression, he managed to suppress the complaints he wanted to say.]

[“Sounds funny, right? But there’s something even funnier.”]

【Looking at Zaimokuza's indescribable expression, Makishima Saori sneered again and continued to reveal more information.】

[“At that time, the skilled “socialite” was taken hostage by the robbers. In a panic, she revealed everything to everyone in the cafe. The reason why she appeared in that “commoner” cafe that she should never go to in her life was because she hooked up with the son of a big financial group, and the two were having a secret meeting there.”]

【"Well……"】

[“There is an even more explosive news, that young man has another identity, he is also the nephew of the senior political official who is the lover of this “celebrity”.”]

【“——”】

【At this point, Zaimokuza was completely stunned, his mouth opened so wide that an apple could almost fit in. 】

[Besides standing in the audience holding a watermelon and shouting "six six six", he could no longer find any other words to describe this polyamorous relationship, even the word "explosive" seemed pale and powerless.]

"Pfft-cough cough cough!!!"

After hearing this, Ishigami Yu couldn't hold back any longer and spat out the milk he was drinking, coughing violently.

The milk passed through the light curtain and splashed a layer of dirty white onto the computer screen behind it. He hurriedly took out a few pieces of paper from the tissue box beside him and wiped the computer clean. As he looked at the light curtain, the corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably.

“Is this… the so-called art originates from reality, and reality is always higher than art?”

The originally uninterested expressions of many gossip lovers around the world suddenly brightened up after hearing this, especially those reporters who work in the entertainment gossip industry. Driven by their occupational disease, they immediately and skillfully took out notebooks and pens from their trouser pockets, and looked at Makishima Saori on the screen with eager eyes, waiting for her to say the names of the parties involved.

This wave of news will definitely sell well and will stay on the front page of Entertainment Weekly for a month. The popularity will be comparable to Ma Jinlian's cheating on her agent many years ago!

One is at most a star in the entertainment industry, and the other is a high-ranking official with real power. It is obvious which one is more eye-catching.

[“So you understand? This is the main reason why the robbery was censored in the news.”]

[Makishima Saori held Zaimokuza's head with both hands, and skillfully used her left hand to push back his almost dislocated jaw and spoke.]

[“If this matter is exposed, the nature of the incident will not be as simple as a simple robbery. The worst result is likely to cause an uproar in the police, government and business circles, because none of the three parties involved in the “socialite” can be said to be ordinary. They are all very famous senior personnel in a certain field or even in the circle.”]

[“I understand, I understand…”]

【Zaimokuza shook his head violently before coming back from his dazed state and replied with difficulty.】

[“But does this have anything to do with Mr. Kosaka’s father’s death in the line of duty?”]

【“…That’s where the problem lies.”】

[“When the ‘celebrity’ told the robbers these things, they suddenly changed their tune and asked to negotiate with the police. The negotiation expert originally sent by the police, who was very experienced in actual combat, came in with full confidence, thinking that he would be able to persuade the robbers to surrender with words.”]

[“But when he went out later, his face was so pale that it was hard to describe, and his legs were shaking so much that he could hardly walk. He was helped back by several police officers who noticed something was wrong.”]

[“Then, the police’s original raid plan was interfered with by higher authorities and was aborted.”]

[“…Just as you thought, all the big shots who were related to that “celebrity” were shocked and even furious after learning about this incident. Some even started fighting after meeting each other, to the point where both of them were hospitalized.”]

[“But they all agreed on one point, which was their attitude towards this shocking scandal—that is, they absolutely must not allow anyone else to know about this matter.”]

[“Those big shots put pressure on the police through various channels, asking everyone who knew about this to sign a confidentiality agreement, and then asking the police to find a way to suppress this matter, saying that as long as this matter can be concealed, they would agree to the robbers’ demands.”]

[“If necessary, those big shots even let the police spread the word that they promised to provide the robbers with funds and means of escape, on the condition that they were not allowed to appear in this country or mention this matter again - Hahahaha!!!”]

[At this point, Makishima Saori could no longer bear it and burst into laughter, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes and her whole body shaking. Her exaggerated laughter was filled with deep ridicule and contempt, as well as even greater hatred.]

[“Does this sound ironic to you? Zaimokuza-san?”]

[She didn't even use "Mr.", but directly used "Shi" to address Zaimokuza. You can imagine how angry she was.]

[“Officials representing justice actually intend to negotiate with vicious bandits who disrupt social order, and even say, “We guarantee that we are absolutely sincere and have no deception at all. Please believe in our sincerity!”???”]

[“——Are you kidding me????]

[Snap——]

[The female doctor's expression suddenly changed from sarcastic to blazing anger, and she waved her hand vigorously, sending the water cup on the table flying.]

[The cup fell to the ground and shattered, making a crisp explosion in the silent clinic.]
