The first time he saw them, Kyosuke Kousaka immediately recognized their profession because their standing posture and the location of the calluses on their fingers were all characteristics possessed by people who had undergone long-term special training from the Metropolitan Police Department. He himself also possessed these characteristics, so it was effortless for him to recognize them.

But even though he recognized these people as his colleagues, Kyosuke Kousaka had no intention of going up to talk to them. He walked along the right side of the path, trying to pass by these people.

The young policemen who were chatting and laughing also noticed his arrival. Although they were a little puzzled by his outfit of sunglasses and masks, they did not think much of it after seeing the forget-me-nots in his arms. They stopped talking and turned sideways to stop blocking his way.

"Thank you."

As he walked past these policemen, Kyosuke Kousaka quietly expressed his gratitude to them for their initiative to give way.

"Ok?"

But after hearing his voice, one of the policemen with naturally curly black hair suddenly raised his eyebrows. He looked at Kyosuke Kousaka's back with some doubt as he walked past him.

When the black-haired man saw the curve of Kousaka Kyosuke's profile that was not hidden by the mask and sunglasses, his eyes slowly widened and he spoke in a puzzled voice.

"You are...Kousaka?"

"?"

"Eh? Kousaka—could it be that Kousaka!?"

His words made Kousaka Kyosuke pause suddenly. The most muscular man with a crew cut among the policemen widened his eyes and shouted in surprise. The other two policemen also cast rays of surprise at the paused figure.

"You are……?"

Hearing his name suddenly called out by these stranger colleagues, Kyosuke Kousaka couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He took off his sunglasses and mask, slowly turned around and looked at them, revealing his true face.

"Really...Kousaka-kun!?"

After seeing that his face was no longer covered, another short-haired man with a stubbled beard opened his narrow and long almond-shaped eyes and said in surprise.

"I didn't expect to see you here."

The last man with short blond hair and mixed-race features looked at Kousaka Kyosuke and said in a deep voice.

"This should be the first time we've met since the graduation ceremony at the police academy, right?"

"Long time no see, number one."

"you……!"

After staring at them for a while, several figures emerged from his mind with a long-lost sense of familiarity, and Kyosuke Kousaka also opened his eyes wide.

"Matsuda, Date, Zhufu, Jianggu?"

……

"……Yeah?"

Kyosuke Kousaka did not feel much joy when he reunited with his old police academy classmates with whom he had no contact since graduation. Instead, he felt a sense of desolation as time passed and things had changed.

He looked at the tombstone in front of him with the words "Tomb of the Hagiwara Family" written on it, his eyelids drooped, and his mood became even heavier.

"Hagiwara... so he's been gone for so many years?"

Looking at this cold stone tablet, Kousaka Kyosuke seemed to see through it a long-haired young man in police academy uniform, talking to him with a smile.

——"Hey, my name is Hagiwara Kenji. Are you the genius who is said to have passed the exam with the highest score in all subjects?"

"Did you run away alone with a bomb about to explode in order to protect your colleagues?"

"...How different things have become. I never thought a frivolous man like him would make such a choice."

"You're absolutely right. Hagiwara was so frivolous back then that he practically gave Instructor Onizuka a lifetime of headaches. And yet, to think that he'd die in such a way that was completely out of character... He was truly a shocking fellow."

Zhu Fu Jingguang shook his head, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes as he looked at the tombstone. It was obvious that the death of his old friend was still hard for him to forget.

Shaking his head, Kousaka Kyosuke turned to look at the four silent old classmates behind him and asked.

"So today is his memorial day?"

"Ah... that kid, he died in the line of duty... four years ago today."

Jinpei Matsuda nodded, his eyes were hard to see behind his sunglasses, and one could only see that the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed.

"By the way, I didn't expect to see you here. Are you here to pay your respects as well?"

"Well, I'm here to pay my respects to an elder."

Kyosuke Kousaka nodded slightly, took the bouquet of flowers and walked to another tombstone next to the Hagiwara family, and gently placed the forget-me-nots in front of the tombstone.

"..."

He raised his head, his dark pupils reflecting the five words "Tomb of the Sugita Family" written in iron-clad silver calligraphy on the tombstone, and his eyes dimmed a little.

"Long time no see, I'm here to see you...Uncle Gangxiong."

The other people also looked at him silently. Although they did not know the person that Kyosuke Kosaka was paying tribute to, they had just paid tribute to their best friend and could clearly feel the lonely atmosphere emanating from Kyosuke Kosaka's body, and they could also empathize with him.

Among the four, only Furuya Rei raised his eyebrows when he heard the name spoken by Kousaka Kyosuke. He and Morofushi Kagemitsu who was standing beside him looked at each other and saw the same surprise in each other's eyes.

Boom.

Kyosuke Kousaka took out a small stainless steel wine bottle from his arms, unscrewed the cork, raised it and poured it towards the tombstone. The transparent wine flowed out from the bottle, flowed down along the top of the tombstone, washing away the wind and sand on the tombstone.

"Thank you for your kindness. This is my second cup. Last time, it was the Iki Island Mugi Shochu that you wanted to try but didn't get to drink. This time, it's your favorite Kagoshima Imo Shochu."

"Now you can drink as much as you want without having to worry about getting caught secretly drinking during work hours."

He looked at the tombstone that was soaked by wine and reflected the strange dark golden font, and spoke softly.

——Two years have passed since the unidentified life form incident ended.

1. The Beginning of a New World (4K)

"elder brother……?"

"Yeah...it's me, don't worry."

"No matter what time, I will always be by your side."

……

Day one.

"What the hell happened? What on earth did that guy, No. 0, do in Nagano Prefecture!?"

After helping Ruri Gokou, who had fallen during the shaking, up from the ground, Kyosuke Kousaka frowned tightly as he looked at the black fog gathering in the sky outside the Metropolitan Police Department window, and the city scene looming in the darkness.

"...That scene in the sky, is that Tokyo?"

He narrowed his eyes, looking at the evil fire ring that was looming in the darkness and the phantom of the city. Even though it was now as still as an exquisite and shocking painting, Kousaka still felt a chill from the bottom of his heart spreading deep in his soul.

That was definitely not an existence from this world, Kousaka made this judgment in his heart without hesitation.

"Could that be... 'Ultimate Darkness'?"

"M-Mr. Kosaka, what should we do now?"

Being embraced by him, Gokou Ruri no longer had time to feel shy or happy about being so close to Kousaka. She looked at the abnormality in the sky, lowered her head to look at the boiling and riotous voices below the building, and looked at the gate of the Metropolitan Police Department which was being attacked by the chaotic and angry crowd, feeling anxious beyond words.

"...Now, we need to first figure out what exactly happened, otherwise we will just be stuck in this passive position forever."

Kosaka was silent for a moment, shook his head to clear away the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Wu Geng, go get ready. Come with me to the outside to investigate the situation. We'll first try to calm the rioting crowd."

"Okay, I'll get ready right away!"

Seeing that he was looking at the sky as if thinking, Gokou Ruri didn't want to disturb Kousaka anymore, so she nodded in response and turned to leave.

But as soon as her footsteps turned a corner on the floor tiles, she could no longer move forward. Ruri Gokou turned her back to Kousaka and stared blankly at the door of the office.

"High, high..."

"Hmm? How—"

Kousaka, who was frowning and thinking about his future plan, suddenly felt a force pulling at his sleeve. He turned around and looked to the side, and saw Gokou Ruri grabbing the corner of his clothes with one hand, staring blankly at the front. Even after hearing his question, she did not respond.

Kousaka suddenly felt something was wrong. He had never seen Gokou Ruri like this before. It was as if the world was completely shattered before his eyes.

He immediately turned his head away, and then - Kousaka's entire body froze, and the movement of every muscle line in his body was frozen.

"...!"

Kousaka's pupils slowly contracted, their trembling pupils reflecting a scene. At the doorway leading to the outside world, a figure stood quietly, a face gazing at him and Gokou Ruri, both in shock, with an indescribable complex expression.

On the chest of this figure, bright red blood continued to flow out from the huge penetrating wound on the left chest, and soon a small pool of blood accumulated at the opponent's feet.

"Tsukio...uncle???"

Staring intently at the familiar face before him, Kousaka recited the other person's name word by word. Beside him, Gokou Ruri seemed to finally come to her senses. She covered her small mouth with her hands, took a few steps back, and spoke in disbelief.

"Officer Shida!?"

The person who appeared in front of him was Inspector Morimichi Sugita, who had died in the Unidentified Lifeform No. 33 incident. He was also a former subordinate of Kyosuke Kousaka's father and his elder.

Although he and his subordinates saw it with their own eyes and it couldn't be his own illusion, Kousaka still felt a huge sense of horror and shock hitting his mind at this moment.

How is this possible? Because the person in front of me is already—he is already dead!!!

It was even Kosaka who collected the body for him personally, and watched as the body was sent to the incinerator to be burned into that small white porcelain jar. In the end, he personally went to the door and handed the police uniform to the trembling hands.

"Yo~ Gogen, you're still as shy as ever."

Sugita Morimichi smiled and waved his hand, and this action caused the wound on his chest to spurt out blood like a fountain. This scene frightened Gokou Ruri so much that she pressed her back against the wall.

Kousaka immediately pulled out the revolver from his waist and pointed the muzzle at the smiling face, but the arm that had never trembled even when it was on the verge of death shook slightly this time uncontrollably, and the sight of the muzzle shook as well.

"who are you!?"

Restraining the surging emotions in his heart, Kousaka tried to use reason to make his voice as cold as when he was interrogating prisoners in the past, but there was still an imperceptible tremor in his words.

Although his reason told him that "resurrection of the dead" was an absolute possibility that could never happen in reality, his emotions burst out with howling and excitement in his heart. The boy who had lost his father began to awaken in the deepest part of his soul, but Kousaka was unwilling to let the boy wake up now.

"...Seeing that you're still so energetic, I can finally rest assured."
