The story we started

[Kousaka Kyosuke responded to Kawasaki Saki's words in a cooperative manner. The girls next to him even huddled together because of this sentence, trembling as they looked at the shop assistant brother who was originally gentle and handsome in their eyes.]

[“Although I have always thought that Zaimokuza would do something like this sooner or later, I didn’t expect that he would actually do it. Did he do everything I told him to do?”]

[Ms. Saki raised her eyebrows in surprise, and continued to ask with interest under Zaimokuza's vicious gaze, looking like she was just about to take out a bucket of popcorn to taste.]

[“Fighting in the street, vandalism, theft from police, speeding, arson, this guy has a long criminal record, I won’t go into detail.”]

[Haven’t you already told me everything?! Although I did all these things, I didn’t break any laws! I did it to save people, okay?]

【Zaimokuza was about to cry when he saw the girls beside him shaking so much that their bodies were showing ripples. He subconsciously glanced around, looking for a way to escape. What made him despair was that the only way out was blocked by Kousaka Kyousuke in front of him.】

【Kala-Kala.】

【Kousaka Kyosuke noticed his little look, and slowly stood up straight as Zaimokuza turned around with a stiff smile. As his body straightened, the bones in his waist rubbed against each other, making a crisp sound. He twisted his neck and took off the sunglasses on his face. A pair of eyes with thick dark circles looked at him, indifferently declaring Zaimokuza's fate.】

[“You must come with me today. We have two ways. One is a gentle way where everyone cooperates with each other and part ways in peace.”]

[“Of course, if you don’t like this, we can take another approach.”]

[Kousaka Kyosuke flicked his wrist, and a pair of silver handcuffs slipped out from the sleeves of his windbreaker and fell into his hands. He held one of the handcuffs with his index finger and raised it slowly in front of his eyes until Zaimokuza's stiff face was encircled by the other handcuff.]

[“If you reject the former method, then I also like this one.”]

[Kousaka Kyosuke worked non-stop for two days and two nights to deal with the unconfirmed life form incident. A twisted smile appeared on his expressionless face.]

[“Which one do you choose? Material·Wood·Za·Mr.?”]

21. Kikiru at the beginning, the deadly game

【Tokyo City, an aquarium. 525txt.com】

【"Since then, the world has been in the middle of the world."】

[The projection billboard hanging next to it shows the box office champion movie of the year, "The Prince and the Imperial Preceptor's Recitation Lesson". In the last scene, the colonel with a mustache and a haircut recites the poem he has studied for six months to the double in front of him affectionately. The blood of himself and the enemy flows down the blade of the samurai sword in his hand. With his unrepentant and deep love for the country in his eyes, he tells the world that the world will be filled with red from now on.]

[Even though he was an enemy, the stand-in was still shocked by the colonel's deep love for his country. The corners of his mouth trembled, tears and snot flowed down. After sniffing his nose, the 1.69-meter-tall stand-in lowered his head.]

【"Hi! Kaoru——"】

【boom! 】

[A fist as big as a sandbag hits the glass advertising screen. The crack spreads out from the fist to form a spherical crack. Electric sparks burst out from the spherical crack, like a planet on the verge of exploding.]

[“This Linduo looks really unpleasant!”]

[The leader of "zu", zu-zain-da, looked at the glass display screen in front of him that was smashed by his punch with a fierce look on his face, his eyes were full of bloodshot, and he was obviously annoyed by the nagging of the colonel in the advertisement. ]

[“This Lindo seems to be very famous among the Lindo of this era. If you don’t like him, you can target him in the game later.”]

[A man with an afro, a short coat and green lipstick said this. He looked at the book in his hand with a bored expression. The cover of the book said "The Wandering Earth Japanese Edition". On the table next to him was a "Japanese Language Teaching Manual for Young Children". He compared each word with the manual. With a pair of glasses, he looked like an old scholar with severe myopia.]

[Besides the two of them, there were many people around, including Ra-baruba-de, who sat expressionlessly on a chair and was designated as unconfirmed life form humanoid B1 by the police, and Zu-gooma-gu, who was dressed in black and wore a hat indoors and looked at Baruba with a hesitant expression, and many unconfirmed life forms that were not on the police wanted list gathered here.]

【Click.】

[The silver lighter was opened and lit, and the flickering flame was reflected in a pair of sunglasses. ]

[“Everything is ready.”]

[The man wearing sunglasses said this expressionlessly, staring at the lit lighter in his hand without moving his eyes away.]

[After hearing what the man said, Baruba turned around and looked at him, his expressionless face full of indifference.]

[“Are you ready? Zu-baduu-ba.”]

[Everyone's eyes turned to the corner as she spoke. A man sitting on the ground in a brown short coat was looking at Baruba with a surprised look on his face, and then he stood up happily.]

[“It seems that I am the number one player who deserves to be celebrated. Not bad!”]

[He walked towards the baruba. As his steps increased, his figure twisted and changed in the dark tunnel. When he walked into the light, the man had turned into a monster that looked like a locust. His hands and feet were tied with white cloth, and he was wearing a white loincloth. A white scarf that was long enough to reach his ankles fluttered slightly.]

【“Two days, 81 people.”】

[Baruba looked at Baduu who came in front of her and said without any emotion. She raised her hand with the ring and inserted the sharp golden horn into the middle of the red copper belt on the other party's waist. She turned the belt in the shape of an evil spirit, and a golden energy spread along the belt to Baduu's whole body.]

[“Two days, 81 people!?”]

[Gooma wrote and drew some unknown words and patterns on a writing board with hideous decorations, turned around and looked at Baduu who had returned to human form with jealous eyes, and said maliciously. ]

[After hearing this, Baduu turned around and looked at it indifferently, with a disdainful smile on his face. ]

[“It’s easy. It’s just hunting 81 Lindo. Don’t think that others are as useless as you. I will definitely be the first one to qualify for the game.”]

[Hearing Baduu's merciless sarcasm, Gooma's sinister smile froze, and his facial features became distorted.]

[Baduu didn't even look at it anymore, and turned around and walked out. Gooma stared at his back as he walked out, then turned to look at Baruba with a flattering expression, walked up to her with a shy face, squatted down, and asked with eyes full of desire.]

[“Is it my turn next?”]

[Baruba, who was playing with the ring in his hand, raised his head and looked at Gooma. His calm eyes reflected his expectant expression.]

[Then, her expressionless face slowly revealed a smile. This smile was evil and cold. It was breathtakingly beautiful on the cold-hearted Baruba's face, like a red snow lotus in full bloom on the top of a snowy mountain.]

【Snapped! 】

【Gooma looked at the smile on Baruba's face, the joy in his eyes almost bursting out, he was ecstatic thinking that he had a chance, but the next moment a huge impact and pain came from his right face, he was slapped by the smiling Baruba, and his entire upper body including his head fell into the trash can beside him, his hands and legs shaking in panic.】

"Could it be that these guys——are considering hunting humans as a game indicator!?"

None of the viewers who were watching the video laughed at the bullied Batman. All of them felt a chill running up from the soles of their feet along their bones. The information revealed in these Gurongi's conversations made everyone feel creepy.

"These monsters have no humanity at all!"

Kyosuke Kousaka woke up on the bed in the infirmary and stared at the contents displayed on his mobile phone screen, with completely uncontrollable shock and fear in his eyes.

Although he had felt from the beginning that this so-called "Kikiru" would not be a good thing, now let alone the real purpose of the game, the way it was achieved was so unacceptable that it would make any person with normal values ​​feel nauseous, angry and horrified.

This is not just breaking a vase or burning a painting, these are all living lives, people who can cry and laugh, but these monsters actually regard taking human lives as a way to complete the game! ?

What do you think life is?

"Stop them. We must stop their evil deeds!"

Countless people prayed silently at this moment, especially those living in Tokyo, Japan, because if the content of this video is true, then once these monsters start this so-called "Kikiru" in the future, the first to suffer will be all of them who live here.

Even now, some people working in Tokyo are considering taking leave overnight and returning to their hometowns. Although they may be fired, at least they can save their lives from the future disaster. Everything is easy if they are alive, but if they die, there will be nothing.

"Please, stop these guys from doing this!"

Kyosuke Kousaka clenched his fists tightly. The sense of justice inherited from his father was burning in his heart. His hostility towards these Gurongi had never been so high.

"The future 'me'... and Zaimokuza!"

【Kanto Medical University Hospital, Tokyo. 】

【"Um--"】

[Zaimokuza pinched his chin, one eye wide open, the other narrowed, and stared at the woman in front of him who looked a little uneasy with the same expression as Maori Kogoro.]

[“Please, do I look weird in any way?”]

[The beautiful woman wearing plain glasses and with a figure that could not be concealed even by a white coat and men's clothing, asked somewhat awkwardly. She looked at Zaimokuza who was almost in front of her, and a light blush appeared on her fair face.]

【"Miss, what is your name?"】

[Zaimokuza narrowed his eyes and looked at her with the eyes of a police officer examining a criminal.]

[“My name is Makishima Saori, and I’m a friend of Officer Kosaka who’s standing next to you.”]

[Makishima Saori looked at the handsome white-haired man in front of her, and looked at Kousaka Kyosuke somewhat at a loss, with a look in her eyes that said, "What's wrong with this guy?", and Kousaka Kyosuke gave her a look that said, "Just get used to it." ]

[“…Ms. Makishima, have we met somewhere before?”]

【Zaimokuza looked at Makishima Saori with suspicion and suddenly asked this.】

[“Eh? I don’t think so, right? After all, you look like Zaimokuza-kun, right? If I had seen someone as handsome as you, I would definitely remember you!”]

[For some reason, Makishima Saori's eyes suddenly changed slightly as she looked at Zaimokuza's facial features, and she lowered her head with a guilty look.]

[“Hmm? I don’t think I’ve introduced myself to you, Ms. Makishima? How do you know my name?”]

【Oops! 】

[Makishima Saori lowered her head, the shadow cast by her bangs covered the upper half of her face, and only her rosy lips could be seen pursed.]

【Zaimokuza did not notice anything unusual about the other party, and his face became even more puzzled as he began to think, trying to figure out where that inexplicable familiar feeling came from.】

【"Makishima Saori... Makishima... Saori... Saori?"】

[Zaimokuza's eyes froze, and at this moment a flash of lightning seemed to flash through his brain, illuminating his dusty memories, and he found a figure from many years ago in his memory.]

[“Saori… I remember!”]

[He clenched his left fist and pounded it on his right palm with a surprised expression, happily looking at Makishima Saori who stood up with her head lowered. ]

[“So it’s you! You’re the Saori Tomoe—Guwa!!!”]

[Before Zaimokuza finished speaking, a pink fist sunk into his left cheek, which was puffed up by his smile, and his entire face was deformed. The terrifying force transmitted to his face through the small fist made his mind go blank for a moment. He was hit by the punch and flew into the air. After spinning in the air for more than ten times, he fell heavily to the ground with his back on the ground. He rolled his eyes and a suspicious white smoke that looked like a miniature Zaimokuza floated out of his open mouth.]

[“Damn it! How could you be so careless, Zaimokuza-san? I told you that the floor in this room is very slippery.”]

[Makishima Saori covered her mouth with both hands and shouted worriedly, then turned to look at the dull-looking Kousaka Kyosuke and shouted. ]

[“Kyosuke-kun, quickly put Zaimokuza-san on the bed and check him out. He might have had a concussion when he fell just now. We need to check him out carefully!”]

[“Uh, that…”]

[Kousaka Kyosuke, who had just witnessed a suspected murder scene, was a little confused. He glanced hesitantly at Zaimokuza, who was lying at his feet and foaming at the mouth, and then looked up at Makishima Saori, who was smiling sweetly across from him, and the corners of his mouth twitched.]

[“If I’m not mistaken, Zaimokuza seems to have been—”]

[“Zaimokuza-san fell down by himself. Is there anything wrong, Takasaka Kyousuke-kun?”]

【With every word Makishima Saori spoke, she moved closer to Kousaka Kyousuke. By the end of the conversation, the distance between their faces was so close that it made people wonder if they were going to kiss. Kousaka Kyousuke stared at the sweet smile in front of him that was completely covered by the shadow, and glanced at Zaimokuza who was lying between the two of them and rolling his eyes, and silently swallowed his doubts.】

[“…Zaimokuza accidentally fell down. Please help me to help him up, Makishima.”]

[“Ok! I’ve told you many times, just call me Saori~”]

"That was a close call! I almost lost face in this world."

Saori Bajina wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with trembling hands. Her beautiful eyes hidden behind her round glasses looked at the screen of her mobile phone with relief as she saw Zaimokuza being lifted onto the bed by two people.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Smile is actually Mr. Zaimokuza. They are completely two different people."

"Zaimokuza, please forgive me. I was only trying to protect myself!"

No matter what, the fact that Saori Bajina = Makishima Saori must never be known to anyone. Otherwise, based on her years of immersion in the otaku circle, the next development would probably be "Ms. Makishima, you don't want people to know that you are Saori Bajina, right?"

Don’t do that kind of thing!!!

[“Oh my goodness~ This is amazing!”]

[After Zaimokuza, who was foaming at the mouth, was sent into the X-ray machine wearing a hospital gown (the clothes that Kousaka Kyousuke had changed into), Makishima Saori pushed the glasses on her face and looked at the pictures and data displayed on the computer in front of her with amazement.]

[“Kyosuke-kun, you know that my specialty is dissecting corpses, right? I have to admit that after watching these images, I feel a little bit——”]

[She pushed up her glasses, and the lenses reflected a strange light at this moment, which made Kousaka Kyosuke feel a little creepy.]

[“——I want to dissect Zaimokuza-san~”]

[“…Is he okay?”]

[His ears automatically filtered out this dangerous remark. After a second of silence for Zaimokuza, Kousaka Kyousuke frowned and asked. He had always been very knowledgeable about medicine, but he knew nothing about the rest. However, even so, he could see that the x-rays on the computer were indeed very different from those of normal people.]

[If a normal person has an unknown black shadow occupying one-third of his waist and abdomen and countless tentacle-like tissues spreading out, he can prepare to write his last words and live a good life.]

[“Hmm… it’s hard to say whether it’s good or not.”]

[Makishima Saori looked at the picture in front of her, her lips still smiling, but her eyes had unconsciously become solemn.]

[“After all, according to the data, Mr. Zaimokuza is the same as “them”.”]

【"What's the meaning?"】

[This sentence made Kousaka Kyosuke's heart jump, and he had a bad feeling. ]

[“I have previously dissected the body fragments of the unidentified life form No. 1 that you provided me, and the tissues found inside are very similar to Mr. Zaimokuza’s current physical condition.”]

[She stretched out her tender white finger and pointed at the tentacle tissue spreading out from the black shadow of the belt in the picture, slowly turning it in a circle.]

[“These nerve tissues spread out from the belt that he absorbed into his body. According to the information you provided, Kyousuke-kun, Zaimokuza-kun changed into two forms after obtaining the belt, one white and one red, right?”]

【"……right."】

[“That explains it. Look, isn’t the size of the tentacle here a little inconsistent with the front half?”]
