East Park, 11:49 a.m.

Tomoko Miura, wearing a professional suit, was waiting under a big tree. From time to time she raised her arm to look at the time on her watch, anxious and uneasy.

Since the incident on the Tianliang cruise ship half a year ago, all the passengers, including her, have been living in fear every day. Especially after learning about the death of Kazuo Weihara, the first death among them appeared.

, which made Miura Tomoko and other Tianliang companions even more frightened.

She still remembered what the monster who called himself the "God of Water" said to them in that terrifying and dark rain.

"...You have also shone a little light, and sooner or later you will become Yajituo like him, but before the signs of awakening appear, I will kill you..."

"...Never tell others, don't forget, you don't have much time..."

"...You have no future!"

Every time he recalled this, Miura couldn't help but tremble with fear.

So she eagerly wanted to know if the man named Tsugami Shoichi she met in the morning was the same person who transformed into Yajituo on the Tianliang.

Although Yajituo was defeated by the Water God in that battle and was thrown into the sea without a trace, but now it seems that the only person who can protect her and other Tianliang companions is Yajituo.

She didn't want to die, even if there was only fear and a hopeless future in front of her, she wanted to live.

While Miura Tomoko was still waiting anxiously, a blond young man wearing black clothes and black trousers quietly appeared behind him. Hesitantly, he stretched out his hand to Miura's figure, and the black mark on the back of his hand, which represented the power of the supreme darkness, instantly bloomed with light.

Buzz——

The harsh sound suddenly filled Miura Tomoko's ears, along with a strong sense of suffocation. She tried hard to open her mouth to breathe, but found that she couldn't do it no matter what, and she couldn't make a sound even if she wanted to call for help.

Come, the body seems to be imprisoned, and the stiffness like becoming a statue extends from the hair to the fingertips.

What's going on...is it...that monster-like guy is here?! Miura thought painfully, despair spreading in her heart. The invisible force was taking away her life, and she had no power to resist.

At the last moment when she was confused and her consciousness was about to fall into the bottomless abyss, she heard a loud voice from behind shouting, "God, please stop!"

The invisible power that enveloped her disappeared in an instant, and Miura Tomoko immediately collapsed to the ground like a broken sack that had lost its support, with her eyes open and her mouth open, breathing desperately.

She turned around hard and looked around, and saw a figure wearing a motorcycle helmet standing in front of her. Opposite the figure was the beautiful young man with blond hair in black.

The monster named Water God did not appear in her memory, so who wants to kill her?

However, the moment she saw the blond young man's face clearly, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

"You...it's you! No..." Miura shouted in horror, struggling to stay away.

Except for the color of his clothes, the face of the Dou Zhen young man in front of him was exactly the same as the mysterious young man in white who gave them light on the Tianliang.

Everything is because of this guy. If it weren't for the light given by the young man in white, the God of Water would not have found them at all, and they would not have been involved in that kind of thing, burdened with the fear of being killed at any time.

Living in fear all day long.

She didn't want to stay here for a second, but her body was still very weak. Perhaps the strange figure blocking him gave her strength, and Miura Tomoko finally ran away in embarrassment.

Watching Miura Tomoko leave, Higashino Ryuusuke thought to himself and almost didn't make it in time. Then he had time to take off his helmet, and when he looked up, he found that Dou was really looking at him.

"You're here."

Dongye took a deep breath and calmed down Ji Dong before speaking: "I want to talk to you."

Wow——!

A white light flashed, and the next moment, Douzhen and Higashino Ryusuke disappeared from reality.

After a few more minutes, Xiang Yi arrived nearby, but after waiting for more than half an hour, he didn't see the person he agreed to show up nearby.

"Strange? Did Miss Miura forget..."

…

Edogawa Green Park.

The G3 team arrived here immediately after receiving the dispatch order. Toru Hojo, who was wearing the G3 system, activated the GM-01 firearm and quickly came to the scene to investigate.

There was silence all around. After a while, Hojo found a corpse in a woodland. The clothes were soaked all over, the pores were enlarged and there were mucosal bleeding, and mushroom-like foam on the mouth and nose, which were obvious signs of drowning.

"A man drowned on land, an impossible crime, indeed unknown."

"Ah, help!"

A sudden cry for help nearby caught Hojo's attention, and he quickly got up and rushed over.

"Whoosh!"

A violent stream of water suddenly gushes out from the ground, and its sound suddenly becomes thunderous. Water splashes everywhere, and the water area that can be called a small lake quickly takes shape.

The person calling for help was a child of about ten years old. His small body desperately grabbed the thick tree trunk to prevent being washed away by the current. However, under the boy's horrified eyes, a red octopus-headed monster emerged from the lake and was trying to cut off this last moment.

hope of life.

The Octopus Lord in the water looked like a ghost. He quickly approached, grabbed the boy and dragged him into the water.

"Help! Help..."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sudden sound of gunshots stopped the boy's cry for help for a moment. With the gunfire, sparks bloomed from the trembling body of Lord Octopus, and he was hit!

The red monster turned around in surprise in pain. At a place that was relatively close to the shore, the blue armored man kept attacking with guns in both hands.

This scene made the two people in the G trailer feel frightened. They must know that the boy is still in the hands of the unknown. If Hojo misses, the consequences will be disastrous. "Don't mess around, Hojo! Go and save the boy first!"

But Hojo turned a deaf ear to it and continued shooting with great confidence. All the bullets hit Unknown without injuring the boy at all.

"Peng!" Continuous shooting finally drove off the Octopus Lord, leaving the boy behind and retreating into the deep water. The monster's eyes stared at G3 with hatred, and it roared and rushed towards him.

The boy took advantage of this moment and ran away.

"scare!"

Hojo moved quickly to avoid the unknown's attack. At the same time, the GM-01 gun was pressed against the enemy's abdomen and he decisively pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang!"

Lord Octopus flew out again and hit the big tree that the boy was holding on to before.

Taking this opportunity, Hojo had installed the GG-02 and without giving the enemy any chance to breathe, he aimed the high-power rifle grenade at the unknown and launched it.

"Boom!"

The blazing flames immediately engulfed the area in front of them.

After the fire light dissipated, only the broken limbs of Lord Octopus were left on the spot.

Hojo put away his gun and smiled confidently, "Officer Ozawa, I succeeded."

…

Near evening, Bunkyo District, polepole.

As the wind chimes at the door swayed, Ryo Weihara finally decided to step into this store.

Even if he had prepared some lofty consciousness, he still didn't have it. He sometimes felt afraid of the thorny and foggy road ahead. But... he just didn't want to continue aimlessly like this.

In the future battle, he decided to face it even if he was lucky or injured, even if he was disappointed.

but……

"It's a pity to find Ryusuke..." The middle-aged man at the counter told him with a smile, "That boy went out at noon, and he hasn't come back yet. It's already been a long time. Logically speaking, even if it's because of those things

It shouldn’t take so long...Ah, it’s okay, do you want a curry rice full of oriental flavor? Don’t worry, if you are a friend of Ryusuke, I can give you a free order!"

"No, no thank you." Liang thanked the boss for his kindness, touched the notebook left by his father in his pocket with his left hand, and left with some disappointment.
