Chapter 153 Sky and Favor

The rain kept falling, getting heavier and heavier.

The humid night sky is like a ball of dark blue ink, as if it is turning the city upside down, making it difficult to tell whether the rain curtain in front of you is falling from the sky, or rising from the ground and returning to the sky.

Chiyoda Ward,

Metropolitan Police Building.

Office of the leader of the third investigation team.

Behind the desk, through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see a burst of red and blue lights flashing downstairs at the foot of the window, and the faint sound of chaotic footsteps and the buzzing of police sirens could be heard.

The people of the Third Investigation Team and the Search Division who were on duty tonight were making coffee and drinking tea, but a sudden emergency order sent almost all of them out to go to the Sky Tree radio tower in Sumida District to maintain order and deal with possible incidents.

confusion.

After receiving the order to go downstairs, many people looked at each other a few times with strange expressions on their faces. They were wondering if the above was making too much of a fuss. A fanatic hijacked the Sky Tree radio tower's broadcast and said something strange.

Weird words made them all go out in the rain.

Is it really that important?

In the office above them, there were no lights on.

The kettle on the table was boiling water, and the lamp on the desk illuminated a corner of the room.

On the chair turned over,

Kimura Hakutaku, the temporary acting leader of the Third Investigation Team, sat opposite the floor-to-ceiling window in front of him.

The transparent windows were stained with water, and you could vaguely see the reflection of the computer screen on the desk behind you, which was broadcasting a live broadcast of the scene under the radio tower of the Sky Tree.

He raised his wrist,

He looked down at the time on his watch.

The time is 6:59 pm, half a minute before 7 o'clock.

Grrrrrrrrrr!

The sound of water being heated and boiling gradually became louder. Kimura Hakutaku turned around and picked up the water cup and started brewing coffee.

Very simple instant coffee,

It doesn't seem to match his status as the eldest son of the Kimura family, one of the top ten wealthy plutocrats in New Tokyo.

But the expression on his face was one of enjoyment.

Picking up the brewed coffee, Kimura Hakutaku looked down at the slowly rotating hands on his watch again.

It's almost time.

He thought so.

Sumida District, at the foot of the Sky Tree.

The sky above our heads became darker and darker, dark clouds rolled in, the night wind surged, and the big raindrops collided with each other while they were still in the air, turning into pulverized water sprays that fell down one after another.

without warning,

Standing under the night sky among countless brightly lit buildings and buildings, the tall tower of the Sky Tree, which looked like a giant tree and mixed with orange and indigo light, suddenly extinguished the bright lights in large areas from bottom to top!

After people realized this, they still didn't realize what happened.

Suddenly, the lonely sky tree tower like a burning torch at night extinguished all the light and turned into a large dark pillar in this steel jungle.

"what happened?"

"Is there a power outage?"

"The Skytree should have backup power."

"Could it be that what the guy said on the radio just now came true?"

"No? Do you really believe what that lunatic said?"

"Don't you believe it? Then what are you still doing here?"

"."

People in the business district at the foot of the Sky Tree talked for a while, and then suddenly fell silent.

If they were originally skeptical about the crazy words on the broadcast just now, they wanted to stay and see what the so-called "benefit" of the man on the broadcast was.

But this sudden change made them even more hopeful.

Although people were unwilling to admit it, they had to say that the man's words on the radio still aroused some kind of eager desire in their hearts.

Everyone is afraid of power, and everyone desires power. The premise is to control power. They are the ones who have the power to take over other people's lives.

The falling rainwater slides along the umbrella surface, and the shadows of people on the street sway in the rainy night. The hidden desires in people's hearts are like the bubbles bubbling up from the depths of the water, slowly rising to observe the situation on the water surface.

What no one noticed is that,

In such a stormy night, a ghostly figure walked out from under the sky tree with the lights completely extinguished.

Nanami Kenjiro, who was walking in the rain, was wearing a yellow safety helmet and blue maintenance work clothes. He looked like a disabled person who had lost his right arm.

However, he gave off an unusually strong impression, holding a black toolbox in his left hand.

About a minute before he walked out of the sky tree, four groups of enforcement teams from the Adjudication Division rushed into the radio tower and took the elevator up - well, they should be trapped in the stationary place after the power outage.

In the elevator.

Nanami Kenjiro thought so in his heart.

From the beginning, he never thought that he could kill the seventh Judiciary of the Judgment Department with this "Nightmare" on the Sky Tree.

He is very aware of the limits of his abilities, and even more aware of the huge gap between him and eighth-level half-body level ability users.

But for him today, revenge no longer depends on success.

Nanami Kenjiro just wanted to give all the remaining bullets in "Nightmare" to Naraku before falling into Naraku Prison again. This was the only thing he could do for his two daughters.

Of course, if possible, he would rather stuff the dagger in the toolbox into the opponent's throat - after all, revenge is about looking at the enemy's desperate eyes and taking his last breath, in order to burn the flames in his heart.

All the hatred poured out.

But judging from his observation from a high place just now, the Kyoto swordsman Momonomiya Rinya is completely at a disadvantage and can only rely on the continuous regeneration of [Weiyuan Rebirth] to support him.

The oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry

It's just a matter of time.

Fortunately, Nanami Kenjiro never pinned his hopes of revenge on others. Even if Fuuma Ryuso suggested that he find a way to contact the man hiding behind the dark golden mask, he did not hold out too much hope.

So seeing Plan A fail,

He immediately walked down from the high tower of the Clear Sky Tree and prepared to execute Plan B.

Always have a calm and clear mind, this is the basic quality that a top "scavenger" should have.

However, at this moment, Nanami Kenjiro, who was walking among the crowd, suddenly felt something strange, as if something was not quite right.

He couldn't help but frown slightly.

Soon, he reacted.

too quiet

Yes, it's too quiet.

The passers-by around him were still walking with umbrellas, but the noisy sound just now disappeared, just like the green forest in spring lost the chirping of insects and birds, leaving only an eerie silence.

The faces of the people passing by him looked dull, and everyone was staring in a certain direction.

Nanami Kenjiro frowned in the rain.

But the next second, he realized that the direction people were looking at was the Sky Tree radio tower he had just walked out of.

Suddenly, Nanami Kenjiro felt the ground beneath his feet tremble slightly.

What happened?

He finally stopped in the rain, turned his head, his pupils shrank suddenly, and then he narrowed his eyes slightly.

I saw only a layer of "sky curtain" that looked like a domain but not like a domain. It slowly spread out in all directions with the dark and towering sky tree as the center, occupying all the space inch by inch.

Threads of black silk slowly descended, moistening everything like spring rain, and the terrifying sky finally spread to the distant sky nearly two thousand meters away.

Suddenly, the lights of the buildings enveloped by the "canopy" around the Sky Tree began to flicker.

Those tall buildings seemed to be vibrating at a slight frequency, as if they were resonating with something.

And under the "canopy",

The people with wisps of black hair falling above their heads were just like the people he just saw.

Everyone's face was dull and their pupils were sluggish as they continued to walk forward. It seemed that only the final 'walk' command and the most basic instinct of action were left in their minds.

Inexplicably, Nanami Kenjiro felt a bit cold on a rainy night.

That kind of coldness is not physical coldness,
To be continued...
