"Something's wrong!" Wang Shen looked solemn and carefully explored Long Jie's body.

"This breath does not belong to you." Wang Shen murmured to himself, and suddenly noticed a small piece of dark brown substance stuck to Ryusuke's trousers.

It looked like some kind of flesh tissue, but it had plant-like textures and was only the size of a fingernail. He put on his gloves and picked up the dark brown substance and put it on the table.

"What is this?" Ryusuke asked suspiciously while observing.

Wang Shen answered: "This thing feels very much like those unidentified life forms to me. Is it the body fragments after they were eliminated? But why does it maintain such high activity? It doesn't look like it was defeated at all.

It looks like it. Judging from the characteristics, it is very similar to fungi."

Fungi... hyphae?!

Ryusuke finally remembered what he had overlooked. Damn it, he actually forgot about another ability of Nearly No. 26.

Body regeneration is a unique ability of the mushroom species Gurungi. It can also be said to be a characteristic of fungi. Even if it is killed, the mushroom monster can clone himself from the scattered body tissues.

However, because the mushroom monster was too weak in the original drama and the regenerated body only occupied one episode, Ryusuke Higashino simply ignored it.

It is indeed not difficult to kill the mushroom monster with the power of the fifth-generation newborn form, but it is impossible to completely destroy its body with the strength of the newborn kick. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the mushroom monster can regenerate with the remaining body tissue.

"It's the 26th. He hasn't been completely defeated yet." Ryusuke stood up suddenly, "Old Wang, I have to go out again. Granny Asama's side..."

"Don't worry, leave it to me. I gave you a good cover yesterday. It's normal for young people to have a few parties and so on." Wang Shen said, patting his chest.

After a while, Ryusuke's figure driving a black TRCS-2000 motorcycle flashed past on the side of the street.

Ganye County, Scientific Police Research Institute. 11:52 am.

Hikari Enokida and other researchers are still conducting various experiments, such as the various properties of the combination of Golem and TRCS-2000, or the remaining body tissue of No. 26 found from the battle scene this morning...

Kaoru Ichijo and Yusuke Godai were also invited to participate in these studies, and Ryusuke Higashino was also notified.

As soon as Ryusuke got the news, he drove quickly to the Science and Police Research Institute. When he went there, Godai was driving a motorcycle to cooperate with Xiatian to conduct various tests.

Kaoru Ichijo came out to greet Ryusuke and led him to the inside of the Police Research Institute.

This time, Enokida Hikaru didn't do anything like the fight she did when she first met Godai. With her IQ, she quickly guessed Ryusuke's identity, so she extended her hand politely.

"You must be number one. Nice to meet you."

Ryusuke also exchanged a few pleasantries and quickly got to the point.

"Ms. Enokida, are there any remnants of No. 26 preserved here?"

"Yes, they were sent here by the Joint Investigation Headquarters. What happened? Ryujie-san."

The person who answered him was Ichijo Kaoru, who keenly felt that Ryusuke asked about this matter for some bad reasons.

Enokida also replied: "Yes, we are in Laboratory No. 3 now."

Ryusuke nodded and said: "I have to confirm some troublesome things. Ms. Enokida, please lead the way."

So led by Enokida Hikaru, several people came to Laboratory No. 3 together.

As soon as he entered the door, Godai was shocked by the sight on the experimental table. Hikaru Enokida was a little shocked, and Kaoru Ichijo raised his eyebrows involuntarily.

On the experimental table, various reagents and experimental instruments were knocked over and scattered all over the floor. A large meat ball with a diameter of half a meter occupied the entire table. Those instruments became so messy precisely because they occupied space.

The dark brown meat ball was placed quietly on the table, constantly squirming and secreting mucus. During this squirming, something seemed to be slowly growing, and Ryusuke saw something like a finger on the lower left part of the meat ball.

"What's going on?" Godai asked in surprise.

Ryusuke replied: "It's the mycelium from No. 26! It can grow into a complete life form."

There was a flamethrower next to the meat ball. Ryusuke carefully took it and lit it, then threw it on top of the meat ball. The whole meat ball turned into a ball of fire with a "pop" sound.

As the flames burned, the flesh ball actually let out a hoarse scream of pain, which was frightening, but it burned out after a while.

Then Godai ran outside the door to get a fire extinguisher and extinguished the remaining flames. Only a ball of coke remained on the table. The pungent stench hit his face, and Xiatian couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose.

"Ryuuki-san, isn't mycelium a very small thing? How can it grow to be so big?" Kaoru Ichijo asked.

It has to be said that scientific researchers have strong thinking skills. Although he does not understand it, Enokida has already analyzed something with his professional knowledge.

"Maybe it's because of its extremely strong vitality that it can grow explosively under certain conditions."

Ryusuke thought for a while, and it seemed that there was only one fully grown individual in the original drama, and that group of mycelium did grow in the water. This was in line with the demands of plants for water.

In other words, not every hyphae has the opportunity to grow. In the laboratory, it will only grow if it is supplied with nutrients for biochemical experiments. So the so-called certain conditions...

"It's water!" Ryusuke said with certainty, "The scene of the battle in the morning was by the river. Now I'm worried that mycelium will fall into the river and new individuals will grow."

Xiatian suddenly became worried, "But if No. 26 is defeated, mycelium will spread out and grow again. Wouldn't it be infinite cloning?"

Ryusuke recalled carefully that there seemed to be no other regenerated bodies in the TV.

So he said: "Concerning this, I think his regeneration ability should have a limit... Anyway, we have to be on guard first. Godai and I will try our best to completely destroy his body."

The phone in Kaoru Ichijo's pocket rang, and he immediately answered it, hearing Sugita's rough voice.

"Ichijo, No. 26 appears again. It's at Banqiao 2-chome."

Ichijo narrowed his eyes, "Really? Okay, I understand!"

Godai and Ryusuke looked at each other and went out quickly. Ichijo turned around and left. At the same time, he said to Hikari Enokida: "Ms. Enokida, I'm going to leave you first."

After a while, the three people left the police research institute together and rushed to the scene of the crime.

…

Within Banqiao District.

Itabashi 2-chome is located in a large factory, and it is just when the workers are about to get off work. Everyone leaves the work area in twos and threes, planning to go to the cafeteria for lunch.

No one noticed that on the bank of the river, a wet dark-brown figure climbed up from the river and came to the bank.

Upon closer inspection, this figure looks exactly like Mushroom Monster No. 26, except that compared to the wood-like brown color of the Mushroom Monster, he looks like a moldy and rotten mushroom, secreting streams of streams from his body.

Black slime flowed to the ground, and there was no ghost-faced belt around the waist that the Gurungjis had.

He looked around blankly, and then like a hound that had smelled its prey, he walked crookedly towards where the workers were gathering.

The workers who had just walked out of the industrial area saw the monster at a glance. The monster also rushed here frantically, and the workers immediately fled in fear.

"Monster!"

"Help! Help..."

However, human actions were still too slow in front of the monster. The mushroom monster's regenerated body quickly caught up with him. With punches and claws, the workers quickly died in his hands one by one.

A siren sounded in the distance, and the police officers from the Joint Search Headquarters, led by Morimichi Sugita, rushed here as soon as possible.

The regenerated body of the mushroom monster has strangled a worker's neck and lifted him high in the air. The worker struggled feebly.

"boom!"

There was a gunshot, and the bullet hit the arm of the mushroom monster's regenerated body, attracting the monster's attention.

In the distance, Sugita continued shooting with his pistol, and the bullet hit the weirdo again. The mushroom weirdo's regenerated body threw the worker away, turned around and walked towards this side.

Dozens of police cars roared over, surrounding the regenerated form of the mushroom monster. The workers quickly fled under the cover of the police, leaving only a few unblemished corpses at the scene.

The police officers hid behind the police car and shot at the weirdo, and the sound of gunfire was heard continuously. However, even though the gas bomb was twice as powerful as the poison gas, the regenerated body showed no reaction at all.

The regenerated monster roared irrationally, jumped on a police car, grabbed a police officer's neck, and twisted it with just a little force, then slapped the other police officer away, and blood splattered everywhere.

.

"Back up, back up!" Sugita shouted loudly, keeping shooting while keeping distance from the weirdo.

However, as if the weirdo was in an uninhabited area, he quickly jumped around the police car, killing people wantonly. In the blink of an eye, the police had suffered heavy losses, and the bodies of the police officers were lying in a pool of blood between the police cars.

The next moment, the regenerated monster had rushed in front of Sugada Morimichi. The foul smell hit his face, and its black claws were waving down at him.

"Taku—!"

Accompanied by a sharp shout, a white figure kicked from the side, and his feet landed heavily on the shoulders of the regenerated monster. The huge force directly kicked the monster into the wall of the factory, and pieces of rubble fell down.

Ryusuke Higashino flipped back and landed on the ground, confronting the monster in his newborn form.

Sugita Morimichi immediately stood up, covered other injured police officers and evacuated the place.

"No. 1, please."

Ryusuke nodded, and another red figure rushed over behind him. It was Yusuke Godai who had transformed into an all-powerful form.

The regenerated monster climbed up from the ground and let out meaningless roars. It was like a mad beast that had completely lost its mind. Even when facing two Kuugas, he charged forward without fear.

Although he had no wisdom, since he was attacked first by Ryusuke, his biological instinct still made him target the white guy first.

The regenerated monster rushed over, raised its claws and swung at him. Ryusuke quickly raised his arms to block, and the fierce attack fell. He couldn't help but take a few steps back, and his arms suddenly felt burning pain.

Godai took the opportunity to strangle the monster's neck from behind, trying to restrict his movements. However, with the power of his almighty form, he was unable to suppress it. Instead, the monster broke free while struggling, and knocked Godai back with another punch.

.

"Ryūsuke-san, this guy's power has become so great. I feel like he's even stronger than No. 21." Godai gasped.

Ryusuke Higashino feels awe-inspiring in his heart, Rhino Monster No. 21, even though he is Kuroki of the Zi Group, his power is considered top among the Mei Group.

On the other hand, although the Mushroom Monster is from the Charming Group, he is probably at the bottom of the Zi Group in terms of physical ability. I didn't expect that the Mushroom Monster's regenerative body strength would be improved to this extent.

"Let's go!" Ryusuke said, and then rushed towards the weirdo, followed closely by Godai.
