Chapter 56 No. 23 (3)
In Arakawa, Jiangdong District, a police station speedboat was docked at the dock, and Kaoru was on board with a rifle equipped with a special poison gas bomb. He was waiting for the artificial blood to be placed behind the speedboat, connecting a pipe that could spray the water surface.
Xia Long and Wu Dai stood on the shore together, watching Yixun prepare.
"You said that some illusions appeared in your mind during the battle?"
"Well," said Wudai, "When I was fighting No. 23, I suddenly received some order in my head, which was a bit like the first time I saw a belt, but the illusion I saw this time seemed to be a beetle."
"Beetle?" Xia Long frowned and thought, "Don't worry too much, I think it may have something to do with the belt inside your body, and it should not be harmful to you."
"I think so."
Wudai felt relieved, nodded, saw a busy one on the dock, and hesitated and asked: "Mr. Along, there is one thing I have always wanted to ask you."
"Hmm?" Xia Long looked at Wudai in confusion.
"It's what you said last time, telling me not to tell a police officer about you," continued Wudai. "I don't think you want others to know your identity, why?"
Xia Long did not answer immediately, smiled and explained: "You may not have experienced it, but sometimes it is for everyone's good. Isn't it good now?"
Seeing that the Five Dynasties were silent and thinking, Xia Long reminded again: "I'll trouble you here. I'll go ahead and wait for you first."
"Ah, yes," Wu Dynasty came back to his senses and rode onto the motorcycle lane, "Mr. Aaron, aren't you joining the action?"
Xia Long waved his hand: "I will help if I need it."
...
On the banks of Arakawa, after Xia Long and Wu Dai separated, they took a car to the middle of Arakawa. After a while, they saw a driving speedboat coming from afar.
Put down his backpack and took out his mask and put it on. Xia Long quietly watched the speedboat approaching and glanced at the water surface.
He still couldn't sense the breath of No. 23, but he instinctively felt that No. 23 had already set his sights on one.
“It’s there.”
"That's it?" On the speedboat, Xun vaguely saw Xia Long's figure on the shore in the distance. Before she could think about it, the speedboat suddenly shook.
"Well!"
After a difficult time stabilizing the speedboat, No. 23 had climbed onto the speedboat from behind. He hurriedly picked up the rifle and wanted to shoot, but No. 23 suddenly grabbed it.
"Hmph!" No. 23 threw away the rifle and grabbed one of his neck, "Die!"
"A police officer!"
The moment Xia Long noticed No. 23, he started rushing towards the speedboat, but the distance was too far.
Stopped and looked at the speedboat that was in a life-and-death crisis. Xia Long picked up a branch on the ground. As the mark of his arm appeared, the branches quickly turned into a javelin with the winding current.
"Drink!"
"Huh?" No. 23 on the speedboat suddenly tightened his body. Before the sharp piercing of his raised wrist had fallen, he suddenly hit the back with a huge force. Accompanied by an unbearable severe pain, No. 23 screamed and pierced his body directly, and his whole body was shot onto the Arakawa embankment.
"Wow!"
The javelin was inserted from the shoulder side, penetrated the chest cavity of No. 23 and penetrated into the embankment. Before No. 23 could break free, a burning double-wing mark appeared and exploded.
"Bang--!"
"Huhh!" Yixun fell into the water by the impact, and after panting, she floated to the water, she looked at the violent explosion on the shore, and then hurriedly looked at Xia Long, and she could see Xia Long's back as she left.
"Is it you..."
...
At around 8 o'clock in the evening, after Yi Yi returned to the police station and changed his clothes, he was hesitating whether to call Xia Long. When he entered the search class, he learned that an emergency meeting was about to be held.
During this period, a large number of fragments were unearthed from the ruins of Kyuro Gokuki, Nagano Prefecture. On the way to Tokyo today, all the fragments suddenly formed into one and flew away from the transport truck.
"Mysterious Flying Things." One has read the relevant information.
"What's wrong?" Sugita touched one, "Are you tired? Yes, the matter on the 23rd is over and I'm going to be busy again."
"nothing."
A matter of temporarily letting go of Xia Long, walked into the audio-visual room with Officer Sugita and others for a meeting.
In the Borei Pore Restaurant in Fujin District, Nana Asahi went to the performance school for classes. Wudao only came back for a while and went to Seoknan University to find Sakurako Sawawa. Only Xia Long was left in the restaurant and listened to the boss saying something that had no clues.
However, Xia Long did not listen carefully, but just took the clippings collected by the boss and looked through them repeatedly.
Perhaps because the nests where Gulangi gathered were discovered by the police, the scope of recent incidents has become much larger, and it is difficult to infer the approximate locations of those guys gathering sites, and there are few witnesses and reports.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that the other party gathered is always in Tokyo, and the stay in the same place is very short, so even the police cannot find those guys.
"Aaron," the boss asked while tidying up the table, "How is your job recently?"
"Work? It's okay." Xia Long paused his hand and suddenly realized that he had promised Zhu Xingtuan and wanted to write a manuscript about Sakurako Zedori's research.
"I think you'd better change jobs," the boss persuaded, "I heard that if you report unconfirmed life events like this, you often have accidents, and it's not safe to run outside."
Xia Long returned the newspaper clipping to the boss and smiled and said, "I still have a job, so let's talk about it next time."
In the early morning, Xia Long was thinking about writing a suitable manuscript when Yixun suddenly called.
After a pause, Xia Long answered the phone and said, "A police officer, is there anything wrong?"
Akatsuki, who was opposite the phone, hesitated for a while, and said, "Someone just discovered No. 24, right in Mitaka City."
"Sanying City? OK, I understand, have you contacted Wudai?"
After the conversation, Xia Long silently put down his phone.
Yikun had obviously guessed his identity, but he had not confirmed it.
After a while of silence, Xia Long packed up his manuscript and hurriedly picked up his backpack and went out.
It was still very dark outside and there was not even a car, so Xia Long could only go to the station with his bag on his back.
There was only the sound of Xia Long's footsteps in the quiet night. Just as he was thinking about whether to borrow money to buy a motorcycle, a strange word suddenly came from the darkness.
Gulangi...
Xia Long's ears moved, turned around, and a rose petal flew in front of him in the cold wind.
He stretched out his fingers to hold the petals, and Xia Long walked through an alley, but he did not see the expected rose girl, only the rose petals blown away by the wind on the ground.
"It's her right, she should have left."
Xia Long picked up a petal and smelled it. He looked around intently, and saw a black shadow flashing across the corner on the other side.
It's the breath of Gulangi...
Xia Long stood up, put on his mask and walked towards the direction where the black shadow appeared. Several people jumped and fell straight into the street, blocking an old man wearing sunglasses and hurriedly walking.
The old man stopped and saw Xia Long's figure and laughed hoarsely.
