New Tokyo Sky Tree.
Tianwang Corridor.
The seventh child of the Tianhu Bart family.
Of course, the nickname "Lao Qi" is not the only one.
His name is Lynde Bart.
Although Linde Bart is not a core child of the Bart family of Heavenly Fox, he was born in the orthodox bloodline of the Nine Celestial Family, so he understands the secrets of "different demons" that are buried deep in the dust of history.
However, he didn't know much about the strange demons. The old man in charge of Tianhu Bart's family didn't say much about this aspect. He just asked him to come to Wano to survey the location of the strange demons [border] and pay close attention to all abnormalities.
From the old man's tone, he even faintly sensed an aura of secrecy.
Linde Bart was very confused.
Although the Nine Celestial Beings have withdrawn from the sight of ordinary people a hundred years ago, their withdrawal is not lurking in the dark sewers, but high in the clouds above the nine heavens, remotely visible through various intertwined tentacles and threads.
Control and let the world dance in the palm of your hand.
Are those "deviants" worthy of such vigilance?
Linde Bart came to Wano twice last year and this year, just to find out the truth behind these things personally and further enhance his status in Tianhu Bart's family.
Moreover, the so-called "different demon" is so feared. If it can become his trump card, it will also help him compete with the outstanding brothers above him in the future.
But until today.
Linde Bart discovered that their survey of the boundaries of "different demons" was actually far behind, and their every move during this period might even be observed by others.
He has been in a high position for a long time and is used to looking down on others, which makes him unacceptable.
Among the people he brought to Wano Country this time, the strongest one was a seventh-level absolute ability user. As the seventh eldest son of the Bart family, he was not enough for the family to dispatch a real backbone.
But thinking of the man who was privately funded by his family, Linde Bart smiled again as he looked down at the Skytree.
The "butcher's knife" of the Adjudication Division cannot sometimes be used for public and private purposes.
He waved behind him.
Soon someone handed over a phone.
Shinjuku.
Old houses in Shitamachi.
In the scorching light of the fire, a violent explosion occurred in the old Japanese-style two-story building.
Flying building debris instantly filled the streets outside the surrounding cordons, and the cold roared in through the gaps in the building. It was licked by the burning flames and turned into a heat wave when it rolled back.
This is the seventh explosion in New Tokyo today.
Although people from the Metropolitan Police Department set up a cordon around the area every time, they tried to avoid casualties of innocent people as much as possible.
But the unscrupulous way in which these people from the Adjudication Department acted in front of them still made the police officers who were following behind wiping their butts twitch at the corners of their eyes, and they all lowered their heads and dared not speak in anger.
Because the other party’s reasons are legitimate and legitimate.
A rebel revolutionary army force has appeared in Wano and assassinated cabinet members and the Minister of Foreign Affairs. You don't have the manpower or ability to handle it yourself. Our Adjudication Department has sent manpower to help arrest them.
Well, although the method is a bit rough.
But it’s always a good intention.
You can't be ignorant of good and evil,
Are you still complaining and protesting?
This was the attitude adopted by the Seventh Adjudicator of the Adjudication Division when he cleared out the Night Fury Revolutionary Army after arriving in Wano Country.
Since the last explosion in the Shinjuku apartment building caused accidental damage, the only thing Wano Country could do was to send police to assist in the investigation, but there was no way to prevent these happenings.
Well, the "assistance" here mainly means that when the people from the Judgment Department are preparing to violently invade the "suspected" Night Fury Revolutionary Army stronghold, the people from the Metropolitan Police Department must rush to the scene in advance and set up a cordon to cordon off the surrounding areas as much as possible.
Ordinary people were evacuated.
Amid the billowing flames and black smoke, two figures, one behind the other, slowly walked out of the courtyard in front of the two-story Japanese-style house that instantly collapsed into ruins.
When the police officers who were guarding the outside to maintain order saw this, they couldn't help but lower their gazes.
In addition to the orders from their superiors, what makes these police officers dare not criticize at will is the sense of oppression that the man in front of them exudes all the time. Even if they look at each other, they will feel like they are being targeted by some prehistoric creature, which makes people feel tight.
My scalp felt numb for a while.
At this time, the explosion attracted many passers-by to watch outside the cordon, and even attracted many reporters from third-rate tabloids (reporters from major newspapers had long known about such things and could not publish them even if they interviewed them), but people from the Metropolitan Police Department
Don't let them get close at all.
At this time, outside the cordon, a little girl wearing a spring elementary school uniform, a little yellow hat, and carrying a small schoolbag, who looked about the same age as Nishimaru Miria, took the hand of the mother next to her and suddenly asked in a childish voice,
"Mom! Why did they demolish Uncle Fujiwara's house?"
Hearing her words, people from the Metropolitan Police Department outside the cordon and people living nearby couldn't help but look askance.
The woman wearing a goose-yellow knitted sweater hurriedly took the little girl's hand, looked around and noticed the eyes of the others, and quickly lowered her voice and said, "Don't talk nonsense, maybe Uncle Fujiwara did something bad.
"
"But Uncle Fujiwara's family sells tofu." The little girl blinked and asked.
Every morning when she went to school and passed by the tofu shop, Uncle Fujiwara would lift the curtain and greet her with a smile. He also said hello to her after school in the evening. She felt like a very gentle uncle.
How could an uncle like that do bad things?
However, the good and evil in the little girl's heart cannot affect everything in front of her.
The only thing that can affect all this is the assessment of the Adjudication Division.
In fact, among the dangerous members of the Night Fury Revolutionary Army who have been violently executed by the Adjudication Division these days, how many are real revolutionary soldiers, and how many are unjustly accused.
No one knows this either.
Because even if the Adjudication Division pointed at the childlike little girl outside the cordon and said that she was a family member of the Night Fury Revolutionary Army, the people from the Metropolitan Police Department would have no choice but to go and arrest her.
But this scene didn't happen.
A phone call stopped the Seventh Judgment walking out of the rubble of the explosion. Gaius Rhine and his female deputy Xin Defu stopped.
Gaius glanced at the little girl being led by her mother outside the cordon, and casually took the phone from the woman next to her.
The caller ID on the other end of the phone is an encrypted number, so the identity is self-evident.
After answering the phone, he didn't speak, and just listened to the words on the other side in silence.
After a while, Gaius Rhine hung up the phone.
"Sky tree?"
Hearing Gaius Rhine's soliloquy, Cinderford calmly took a step forward and whispered, "Do you really want to go to that ridiculous duel? It's only a seventh level, I can do it for you
Do it for you."
"That's not what I'm talking about."
Gaius Rhine shook his head.
He squinted his eyes slightly and said without too much hesitation, "It's the thing that the Nine People have always cared about. If I remember correctly, it should be called a strange demon, right? They have determined that the boundary of the strange devil has been detected at the Skytree.
], what are those old guys so afraid of?"
Gaius Rhine looked thoughtful.
Just when the Adjudication Division began to hunt down and kill the Night Fury Revolutionary Army in Wano Country all day long, at the Chiyoda District Police Department headquarters, Sugita knocked on the door of the office of the leader of the Third Investigation Team.
"Please come in."
A gentle voice came from the office.
Sugita opened the door and walked in. He saw a figure with slightly longer hair on his forehead, working at a desk. There was a sign of "Tokugawa Ritora. Team Leader" in front of the desk filled with documents.
Of course, in a month, this brand will probably officially change its name.
Tsukasa Sugita stood at the door, silently staring at Kimura Hakutaku, the former captain of the fifth division and now the acting team leader. Since the last time he failed to accuse the other party at the meeting where he was appointed as the acting team leader, the two have never had any contact.
I have never had the opportunity to face him in private.
But inexplicably, Sugita always felt that the gentle man in front of him didn't seem to mind the accusations he made against him, and his attitude towards him in daily meetings was the same as towards everyone else.
It doesn't feel like neglect.
But he is clearly looking at you with a smile, looking at you, but you can feel that his eyes are not falling on you or your shoulders.
Instead, I looked at some ethereal places.
"I heard that you approved the power of the Judgment Division to deal with special cases? And you also asked our people to assist?" Sugita asked straight to the point with a cold face.
Hearing the familiar voice, Hakutaku Kimura raised his head from behind the desk and stared at Sugita Tsukasa's face in rapt attention. He seemed to have finally come to his senses and said with a smile, "It's Sugita-kun. Sorry, I was a little distracted just now."
Come on, why did you come to see me?"
Tsukasa Sugita didn't want to repeat what he said.
Regardless of whether the other party really didn't hear it,
Still pretending not to hear.
He just looked at the other person and said, "This incident is being discussed everywhere on the Internet. Many residential buildings in New Tokyo exploded and were destroyed without warning. The people felt extreme panic, and the Metropolitan Police Department's helpline was almost blocked.
, and later found out that we had brought people to do it ourselves.
Will this be somewhat
Too sarcastic?"
It was rare that the sky cleared up after the rain in the afternoon, and the spring sunshine slanted down from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office. Kimura Hakutaku watched Sugita Tsukasa from a distance across a desk. In the sunshine, he squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, and then said:
"Yes,
I asked people to help,
Is there anything wrong?"
He recalled what Sugita had just said, and a smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth, "But the power of the Judgment Division to deal with special matters is not something I can approve, and they don't need my approval. Isn't it always like this? It's just
To say hello to you, I will send people to assist and try to reduce the impact of their special measures to the smallest range."
Tsukasa Sugita listened silently to Kimura Hakutaku's words, and after a moment of silence he said, "If Team Leader Tokugawa was still here, he would definitely not allow this to happen."
Kimura Hakutaku smiled when he heard this, "Team Leader Tokugawa also has things that he needs to consider and weigh, but he always finds the most appropriate way to solve the problem. I admire this very much."
Having said this, Kimura Hakutaku turned his head slightly, squinted slightly and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window at the dazzling light falling from the sky like water after the rain, and said with a chuckle, "But my method may be relatively 'simple and direct'.
"
"Are you just letting everything go?"
Sugita asked coldly.
Kimura Hakuto was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
Smiled.
No denial.
Didn't admit it either.
Seeing this scene, Sugita Tsukasa knew that he could not find the answer to the problem here.
But when he left, he looked at Kimura Hakutaku's profile with a gentle smile, and suddenly said, "Some things, just because there is no evidence, does not mean that they have not been done. There is no perfect crime in this world, and dirty crimes will happen sooner or later."
Exposed to the scorching sun and faced legal and moral judgment.”
After saying that, he stood up straight and faced the sign that read "Team Leader Tokugawa Ritora" in front of his work. He clenched his fist with his right hand across his chest, bowed slightly, then turned around and walked towards the door like the wind.
But when he opened the door, Kimura Hakutaku, who was behind his desk and bathed in the skylight, squinting at the spring scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window, suddenly said:
"No one is born to stand high in the sky. Sugita, you are also trying to change the world, right?"
Sugita paused as he opened the door and said with a cold face, "I can't change the world. I just want to change the injustice and injustice that I can see."
Kimura Hakutaku turned his head, looked at Sugita Tsukasa's back and asked, "If you have a chance, you can change the world and change all the injustices, no matter what you see or what you don't see."
"But...
Some people may be sacrificed,
Do you want to?"
Although he didn't know why the other party asked this question, Sugita stopped, thought seriously for a moment, and then took a step forward again.
"It doesn't matter whether I am willing or not, it depends on whether those who are sacrificed are willing."
The voice fell,
The office door was closed from the outside.
Kimura Hakutaku stared at the empty door, shook his head, sighed softly, lowered his head and muttered to himself, "But human beings are not creatures with the consciousness of sacrifice in order to solve injustice."
Takehara Minami Private Academy.
In the evening after school.
Higashinohara was brought into the office by Tatogawa Asuka.
In the corridor, I met some students who were having a fight after class. When they noticed Tatōgawa Asuka, they all suddenly became quiet and avoided each other's sight without squinting. This shows that it is known as "Takehara Minami Private Academy is the one that cannot be offended".
The "little teacher" has a terrifying deterrent effect among students.
After walking into the office, Tadokawa Asuka sat back at his desk, lay down comfortably in the long ergonomic chair and stretched out. For a moment, he seemed to have forgotten that he was bringing someone back.
It is a delicate moment for girls to stretch their waists.
Higashinohara considered respecting his teacher, so he only glanced at it and then politely withdrew his gaze.
Tadokawa Asuka also reacted at this moment. He sat up straight from his chair, turned sideways and smiled at Higashinohara and said, "I saw that the students were more afraid of me along the way. Why aren't you afraid?"
"Maybe they did something bad."
Higashinohara said, "And the teacher gave me a very friendly feeling."
"Do you have a sister like me in your family?"
Tadokawa Asuka said with a smile, "Sit down and talk, don't be so formal."
I have a sister like you at home.
Higashinohara pulled up the chair prepared for the students' parents and sat down, adding silently in his heart.
"Do you know why I asked you to come?"
"Is it about the trials?"
"That's right."
Tadokawa Asuka said with a smile, "Ms. Nakasaki from the practical class praised you very much and recommended you to me. How about it? Have you considered whether to participate in the trial?"
Higashinohara was silent for a moment and asked very sincerely, "If we win the exchange meeting, will there be bonuses in the key training promised by the academy?"
"bonus?"
Tachigawa Asuka was stunned for a moment.
Then she remembered that she had met Higashinohara working in a coffee shop last time at Odaiba Park in Minato City. Then thinking of the child's family background in Hokkaido, she said with a smile, "According to the practice of previous years, although there is no key training in
bonus, but you can put forward your own requirements, such as asking the academy to waive your tuition, miscellaneous fees and accommodation fees, or even cover your living expenses."
"That's it"
Higashinohara nodded thoughtfully and suddenly asked:
"Can I ask for a discount?"
Tadokawa Asuka was stunned for a moment, and looked at Higashinohara with a strange expression, "This. Although I haven't heard of it, it shouldn't be a big problem."
"Okay, I'll participate in the selection," Higashinohara said.
Tachigawa Asuka looked at Higashinohara in surprise.
In the past two days, the other party had not taken the initiative to sign up. She thought that this repeater, who had accumulated a lot of experience, had some concerns, so she prepared some words to enlighten her.
I didn't expect it to be done so easily.
Let’s talk about this guy in front of me.
You haven't been waiting for me to find him, right?
Tadokawa Asuka glanced at Higashinohara suspiciously, but her "teacher's dignity" still prevented her from asking the question, and she just pushed the paper and pen on the desk.
"Well, here is a form, please fill it out."
"OK."
"By the way, you may have to go home late tonight, and a teacher will take you for training."
"Well, I'll call my family later and talk about it."
Amidst the rustling sound of the pen tip scratching the paper, Asuka Tachikawa stared at Higashinohara who was leaning over to fill out the form, and suddenly looked forward to his performance at the exchange meeting.
After all, she was the first to discover the potential of this repeater in practical classes. How far has he grown from the second and first grades now?
Third level?
Or guess a little bolder.
Fourth level?
Thinking of this, the corner of Tadokawa Asuka's mouth suddenly turned up into a smile, and he was once again grateful for his decision to stay in school to teach.
Because that’s the fun of being a teacher.
You can meet all kinds of interesting students
The warm red sunset gradually disappeared over the tall buildings in the distance.
Twilight is falling and the sky is getting dark.
In Takehara Minami Private Academy, most of the club activities have ended, but the school bus at the door has stopped running. The remaining students in the academy can only take public transportation such as the subway to go home.
In the blood-red dusk, a woman wearing a black trench coat and a mask appeared in front of Takehara Minami Private Academy.
Xin Defu, the personal assistant of the Seventh Adjudicator and the first inquisitor under his command, lowered his head and glanced at the address in his hand, and a disdainful smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.
