The story we started

"Hey, these two bikers, could they be..."

"They look alike. Or rather, the name and appearance of that Sawano Taisuke are exactly the same as the one in school. That Ito Makoto can't really be that Ito, right?"

"Hey~ He looks quite gentle, and I like him very much. I heard that Ito is also very popular among the girls in other classes."

"Yeah, you can't judge a person by his appearance. I never thought he would become like that in the future. I seem to have heard from others that his family also has problems, especially Ito's father. It is said that..."

"Hey? Are they those two people, the ones in the corridor?"

A boy in the class pointed to the corridor in surprise. Everyone in the class immediately turned their eyes to the corridor. Through the outdoor window of the lecture hall, they saw two boys in school uniforms walking hurriedly in the corridor, or running in the corridor, as if they wanted to lower their heads like ostriches.

"Damn it! Why do we appear in this damn video like this!"

Taisuke Sawagenaga cursed in a low voice with an angry expression, but he was not angry about why he became like that, but why he appeared in this image in this video that everyone was watching. On the contrary, he did not react much to the many evil deeds that were revealed in the words in the video, because he knew very well that those were indeed things he might do.

"..."

Makoto Ito, who was also walking next to him, looked pale, and his hands holding the phone were shaking slightly. Looking at the completely unfamiliar "self" in the video, he could not believe what he saw.

"Why...will I become such a social scum in the future? A despised scum of society?"

Thinking about how all the people who watched the video would look at him in the future, and the beautiful girl who made his heart beat fast on the train recently, and thinking that everything in the past would be gone from him because of this, Ito Makoto almost wanted to cry.

Why should I pay for something I never did, or haven’t done yet!?

[The monster that had once made his heart beat fast slowly walked in front of him. Ito Makoto felt that his entire pants were completely wet. After absorbing the water, the pants became heavy, making his legs, which were already trembling with fear, even more unable to stand up.]

【“No! Don’t! Don’t come over here! You monster! Don’t—guh?”】

[Ito Makoto suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He looked down at his left chest with a confused look. A steel bar was inserted into his chest. Behind him, the tip of the steel bar penetrated his back and entered the concrete floor. The ground was covered with dense cracks, centered on the tip of the steel bar.]

[Ito Makoto's bloodless lips trembled a few times, and a mouthful of bright red blood mixed with organ fragments spurted out of his mouth. His body was about to fall backwards due to inertia, but the steel bar inserted into his chest fixed his body. He could only tilt his head back weakly, and the unfastened helmet fell off his head. His hands hung on both sides of his body. He looked up at the starless night sky of Tokyo, and his pupils gradually dilated.]

[Red blood flowed out from the steel bar that penetrated his back, and flowed little by little on the ground below him and spread out. Above the blood was Ito Makoto's kneeling body. This scene of death was full of a strange sense of religion. The steel bar inserted into his heart was like a spear from God, piercing the sinner's heart and sending him into hell. It was also like the devil offering a sacrifice to Satan, offering a voluntary sacrifice to die. It was also like Qin Hui kneeling in front of Yue Fei's tomb for a thousand years to confess his sins to him. Ito Makoto was like confessing to the women he had committed crimes against in the past. His death was extremely tragic and mysterious.]

[“Dirty Lindo.”]

[zu-mebio-da loosened the end of the steel bar that he was holding loosely, and took a few steps back in disgust to avoid the water stains spreading on the ground from Ito Makoto's crotch. It was the first time it had seen such a disgusting Rindo, and it felt dirty even to kill him. There happened to be a spear similar to the one made by Rindo nearby, so it took it and used it.]

[What made it even more disgusting was that after seeing the helmet fall off Ito Makoto's face, when it saw Rindo's face, it actually felt a "heartbeat" in its heart, and even felt a sense of regret for killing Rindo? ]

[Mebio thinks that he was probably sealed by Kuuga for too long, and his mind was a little abnormal after he was released. Otherwise, why would he fall in love with Rindo? It's like a otaku ignoring a two-dimensional beautiful girl and falling in love with a three-dimensional fat woman. ]

[Looking at the extremely beautiful corpse in front of him, mebio felt happy. As expected, the dead Linduo was the most beautiful.]

【"stop!!!"】

[An angry male voice came from behind, coming very fast from far away. Mebio turned around and saw a white-haired male Linduo rushing towards him quickly, with his clenched left fist at his waist ready to strike.]

【"snort."】

[It snorted disdainfully, put its hands on its hips and straightened its body without even trying to dodge. It just looked at the other party with an angry expression rushing towards it and throwing a weak punch at its face.]

[Lin Duo's fist is just a common man's anger, hitting his head against the ground, it is not worth mentioning at all! ]

[——This is what mebio thought before the fist hit its face.]

【boom--】

[It was clearly a human fist, but at that moment the end of the fist created a layer of white air waves visible to the naked eye. That was the sound barrier created when an object broke through the speed of sound.]

[This punch hit mebio's face hard. His face, which was full of ancient Egyptian style, was deformed and distorted under the pressure of this punch. Blood splashed everywhere. Mebio, who couldn't even react, was directly thrown out by this punch. His slender body broke through the fence of the construction site next to him and broke the pillars and beams of a newly built wooden house frame. After the main beam was broken, the wooden house frame directly fell down with a roar, burying mebio's body at the bottom, and dust and smoke rose up.]

[At the moment of being knocked away, mebio completely changed his mind. This Linduo's fist was incredibly heavy, and even for a moment it reminded him of that horrible and humiliating long-lost memory——]

[Although the gap is still far, the anger and heaviness contained in this punch are just like the Kuuga who once completely sealed their clan!]

【"Ha ha……"】

[He gasped and retracted his left fist. The fist and the bones underneath felt a sharp pain due to the reaction force, causing Zaimokuza's left hand to tremble uncontrollably.]

[But he couldn't care about these things at the moment. He turned around and looked at the man's body behind him, who had died tragically. Seeing the lingering desire for life on the face of the corpse, his teeth were clenched so hard that they made a clattering sound.]

[He was still too late, and failed to save the man from the clutches of an unconfirmed life form.]

[The face that had always made people wonder if only the laughing nerves were working no longer had a smile on it, and the shadow cast by his bangs completely covered the upper half of his face. The momentum of a volcano about to erupt enveloped Zaimokuza, and his right fist creaked.]

[Zaimokuza turned around silently, looked at the pile of wood ruins that exploded in all directions, and stared at the black shadow that stood up.]

[“You… Linduo——”]

[A twisted and strange tone came out of the crooked mouth, and mebio used his hands to put the dislocated jaw back into place with a "click". The bleeding wound on his face slowly healed, but it was unable to restore the shame and murderous intent that surged in his heart.]

[A mere Linduo, actually! Actually dared——]

[“I’m going to break your arms and legs and throw them into the river!”]

[Faced with the roar of the unidentified life form in front of him, Zaimokuza did not react at all. He had no idea what nonsense they were talking about from the beginning. ]

【But one thing is certain. 】

[Zaimokuza casually threw his backpack onto a tree. The backpack stuck firmly on the fork of the branch, and then he raised his hands and pressed them on his waist! ]

[A silver ruby ​​belt appeared on his waist with a unique humming sound. Mebio saw the familiar belt that often appeared in nightmares appear on this Linduo's body, and his body also trembled. ]

[But it was not out of fear, but out of immense anger and hatred. ]

【"you……"】

[“Transform!”]

[While the unidentified life form on the other side was still talking, Zaimokuza had already completed a series of transformation actions, and after shouting angrily, he covered the buckle on his left waist with both hands. ]

[A red light flashed from the gem in the middle of the belt. Under the cover of this light, red armor and black skin replaced Zaimokuza's clothes and body. As the black helmet and red compound eyes finally engulfed the resolute face, golden horns soared into the sky. The red warrior who had only appeared once appeared in this world again after a day.]

[Since seeing the girl's tears, Zaimokuza has understood why he has to fight and ignited his will to fight. Now, he can transform into the red Kuuga who is more powerful than the white Kuuga just by thinking about it.]

[He wants to protect everyone's smiles from these monsters! ]

[“——Kuuga!”]

【Crying out the enemy's name furiously, mebio fell to the ground with his limbs, and rushed forward like a real cheetah in the smoke and dust that was blown up on the spot, and the claws of his five fingers stabbed at the neck of Zaimokuza who had transformed into Kuuga.】

[“Die!”]

[“Hey!”]

[Zaimokuza fearlessly punches the enraged Mebio, and the two sides, who have been enemies since ancient times, once again start a battle that has lasted for thousands of years in a modern city.]

……

[“Notify all police cars. Unidentified life form No. 4 and newly appeared life form No. 5 have been found in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo. The two are in a fierce battle. Please ask the nearby police stations to provide full assistance. I repeat, in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo—”]

【“shit!”】

【Listening to the police car's broadcast, Kousaka Kyousuke couldn't help but burst out an American curse word, slammed his hand on the steering wheel, and stepped on the accelerator hard. The neon taillights of the police car brought a series of afterimages and passed the vehicle in front. The sounding police lights made all vehicles dare not stop, and drove towards the Nagano Prefecture Police Station at a speed that would definitely get points deducted.】

[“Don’t die, you idiot!”]

……

[Zaimokuza ducked his head to avoid Mebio's claws that were stabbing at his eyes, turned around and grabbed its outstretched arm with both hands, twisted his body and waist, and threw it hard to the ground with a standard shoulder throw.]

[“I feel like I can do it!”]

[He immediately pressed forward and grabbed the opponent's neck with both hands, and choked him with a powerful naked choke. Because of the angle, the opponent's waving arms could not hit Zaimokuza at all. He kept increasing the strength of his hands to stalemate with him, feeling the opponent's gradually weakening struggle, and suddenly felt that there was a chance this time. ]

[Since he got this belt and transformed, none of the battles he had experienced ended in a normal way. If Mr. Kosaka hadn't intervened when fighting No. 1, he would have been killed. When fighting No. 3, he was beaten up, and only survived with the help of Mr. Kosaka. The second time he fought No. 3, he changed into this form and gained the upper hand in the battle, but No. 1, who was not dead, broke in and was almost beaten to death in a one-on-two situation. It was only with the help of Mr. Kosaka that No. 3 was driven away and No. 1 was killed in a one-on-one battle.]

[Suddenly, he realized that he could only survive every battle with the help of Kousaka Kyousuke. Thinking of this, Zaimokuza missed Kousaka who was far away in Nagano Prefecture. He was like the stone that "stood waiting for her husband and turned into a standing stone" - this description seems to be a little wrong, but it's roughly the meaning. ]

[In every battle, there is someone fighting beside him, so Zaimokuza has never tried to fight an unconfirmed life form alone, so he does not have an accurate understanding of his own strength level. ]

[And in this battle with the newly emerged unconfirmed life form, Zaimokuza finally had an accurate understanding of his current level of strength. It can be said that as long as he is steady and not reckless, as long as no accidents happen, and as long as no stupid teammates intervene, his victory will be a sure thing! ]

[Beep, beep, beep—]

[The familiar sound of the police siren startled Zaimokuza slightly, and then the strong light coming towards him made him subconsciously put his hand in front of his eyes, which gave Mebio, who was almost unable to breathe, a chance to escape.]

[“Woooooo!”]

[The sturdy thigh suddenly kicked over the top of his head and hit Nakazai Mokuza's face. As he rolled back with his hands covering his face, he stood up swiftly with a somersault. Mebio covered his neck and gasped. ]

[Just as it was free from the woodblock, police cars drove in from all directions, blocking the small alley, cutting off the only escape route.]

[“Two of them appeared together!?”]

[A police officer who looked very similar to Takeo Saeki in "The Grudge" got out of the car and saw Zaimokuza and Mebio lying on the ground. He took out his pistol and opened the car door to use as a shield.]

[“Sakurai, you and the other half of the group will take care of number five, and number four will be taken care of by me and the rest of the brothers!”]

【"clear!"】

[Another police officer with a stern face nodded carefully and pointed his gun at the standing mebio, while the "Saeki Takeo" pointed his pistol at the standing Zaimokuza. The sound of the bolt being pulled and the safety being clicked became a dull melody.]

[“3.2.1. Shoot!”]

【"wait--"】

【Four days ago, Zaimokuza was an ordinary person. For the first time in his life, he was treated like a terrorist by the police. He was stunned. He was completely unable to react and subconsciously wanted to speak to the police, "Tai-kun! I am a good citizen!" to identify himself. However, the overwhelming bullets blocked his words.】

【Bang bang bang bang bang bang!!! !!! 】

【All the policemen's guns emitted smoke and fire. It can only be said that they are worthy of being the Tokyo police. Their equipment completely crushes the Nagano Prefectural Police Department. Zaimokuza rolled over behind a wire mesh to avoid the bullets. The ground where he was lying was riddled with bullet holes. If the Nagano Prefectural Police Department had this kind of firepower, he would have been shot to death before he could transform into No. 1.】

[“Damn you Lindos!”]

[Mebio was knocked to the ground by the "arrows" of modern humans, which were completely different from the Rindo in her memory. She stood up angrily after being knocked down by the humans she looked down upon again, crossed her hands in front of her face and tried to rush towards the police. After seeing this, Zaimokuza immediately rushed to its back under the rain of bullets, stretched out his hands to grab its hands that were blocking its face and locked them behind his back.]

[“You!? Kuuga!”]

[Mebio's hands, which were blocking his face, were suddenly locked behind his back. He turned around in shock and anger to look at Zaimokuza behind him, but Zaimokuza propped up his body with his shoulders and rushed directly towards the encirclement formed by police cars and ammunition.]

[“You actually used your companion as a shield!”]

[Looking at the unconfirmed life form No. 4 who used his "companion" as a shield and rushed towards here, "Tsuneo Saeki"'s face suddenly changed, but despite his astonishment, he never let go of the finger that pulled the trigger of the pistol. ]

【"ah!!!"】

[One of the bullets hit mebio's right eye. The brass bullet embedded itself in its scarlet right eye amidst the blooming blood. The intense pain in its eye made it scream loudly and struggle harder. Feeling the other party's hands being held by him suddenly increase their strength, Zaimokuza gritted his teeth and sped up his sprint.]

[Just like that, Zaimokuza used mebio as a shield to block him. All the bullets shot at it. Zaimokuza, who was unharmed, carried mebio, who was about to break free, across the blockade of the police car, knocked down the police who blocked the way, and rushed to the opposite river.]

【"kuuga!!!"】

【Mebio finally broke free from Zaimokuza's restraints at the last moment, and stretched out one hand to his face to grab Zaimokuza's neck behind him, while Zaimokuza, who ignored him, grabbed him and jumped into the river in silence amid his roar.】

【Snapped! 】

[The bodies of the two fell into the cold river, huge waves splashed, and all the police immediately rushed to the riverside and aimed their guns at the ripples on the surface of the river that had not yet dissipated. ]

[And in the turbulent water on the surface of the river, the figures of the unconfirmed life forms No. 4 and No. 5 have disappeared. ]

16. The Past Service Department -in-

【Seongnan University, teaching building area. xiaoshuowanben.com】

【07.35am】

[Yukinoshita Yukino walked in the corridor with a tired face, kneading her temples gently with her fingers. The dark circles under her eyes were so heavy that even the high-end foundation could not cover them up. ]

[This is the second day after she returned to Tokyo. Thinking back to what happened in Nagano in the past few days, she still feels unreal, as if there is a thin veil between her and reality, so close yet so far away.]

[Yesterday, when she was translating the inscriptions on the ruins, she fell asleep because she was too sleepy. When she woke up, it was already this morning. She slept for nearly 24 hours, which is a whole day. This shows how tired she was.]

[But there is no other way. Many people in this laboratory, including the instructor, died in the ruins of Jiulangyue. Now the entire archaeology department of Chengnan University is extremely short of people, so this job can only fall on her shoulders, who is forced to have the highest experience and qualifications. Before the school decides to recruit some new people, she must handle the workload of the entire team by herself. ]

[Especially after the incident of the unconfirmed life form, deciphering these super ancient inscriptions has become a top priority, because the inscriptions may hide the secret of why these monsters appeared. This has increased the pressure on Yukinoshita Yukino, making her feel overwhelmed. She just wants to find a place to learn from her high school teacher and drink a lot to relieve stress. ]

[She opened the door to the office and stepped in with her right foot in high heels.]

[“Guwaa!”]

[The soft touch under her feet and the man's screams made her stop. Yukinoshita Yukino lowered her head expressionlessly and looked at Zaimokuza Yoshiki, whose face she stepped on. ]

[“…Why are you sleeping here, Zaimokuza-san?”]

【“Minister?”】

【Zaimokuza was awakened by a foot on his face and he moved his eyes upward with difficulty. He saw Yukinoshita Yukino showing a pair of slender legs in black stockings and smooth curves in his field of vision. Although he was somewhat awake due to the pain, he was still sleepy and his brain CPU was still in a restarting state, so he subconsciously opened his mouth and spoke.】

【“It’s not long—the pants you’re wearing!”】

……

【“You transformed again last night?”】
