Chapter 15 The Trial from Captain Dragonfly! (Part 1)
The nearly half-collapsed villa was burning with flames, and the sea breeze blew the fireworks and thick smoke flying in all directions.
"What a gorgeous and exaggerated appearance..."
A thin figure wearing a white lab coat walked out of the main entrance of the hall, which was still intact.
The 'doctor' leaned slightly against the door, took out a cigarette and lit it against the burning door curtain not far away. He took a deep breath and blew out the white smoke ring. His eyes behind the lens glanced at Sugita Tsukasa who fell from the sky outside the door.
A helicopter is landing not far away.
"Then why would you... visit my private residence late at night?"
Sugita looked at the man who remained calm under such a scene, his face still expressionless, and said in a cold tone, "Are you setting off fireworks?"
The doctor was stunned when he heard this, then he couldn't help laughing and shook his head and said, "This joke is not funny at all."
"It's still kind of funny."
Tsukasa Sugita pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose.
Not far behind, four helicopters landed in an open space dozens of meters away from the villa. Members of the Thirteenth Team holding long swords and a heavily armed special assault team quickly approached.
Sugita took a step forward and stared at the doctor leaning at the door.
"Someone reported that there was a crowd of 'DBs' gathering here. Team 13 of the Third Investigation Group was responsible for the investigation. Anyone who did not cooperate was considered to be covering up evidence and resisting arrest."
“Gathering ‘DB’?”
The doctor was stunned again. He stared at Sugita Tsukasa's expressionless face for a moment, then slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said,
"Do you think that in this case... there will be anyone inside?"
As he spoke, he pointed back towards the door, and a section of the wooden door frame burning with orange flames fell down, causing sparks to fly everywhere on the ground with a bang.
"You'll have to watch it to find out," Sugita said.
"Haha... It seems that the third group has produced a great guy." The doctor suddenly shrugged, put out the ordinary cigarette and asked with a smile, "I can talk to an old friend from the Metropolitan Police Department.
Make a phone call?"
"Excuse me, but please cooperate with our search first," Sugita said.
"Excuse me." The doctor took out his mobile phone and stepped away from the door.
Several other Celestial Personnel employees of Sigmund Trading Company at the door also looked at each other and stepped aside one after another. They just stared at the uninvited guests in front of them with eyes full of unkindness and ferocity.
"All members of Team Thirteen are here. Follow me in the search. Pay attention to security. The special assault team spreads out quickly and surrounds the villa. Don't miss any suspicious person."
"yes!"
Everyone responded one after another.
After Sugita finished speaking, he turned to look at Mai Aragaki next to him.
The latter was stunned, and quickly took out the law enforcement camera and started the real-time recording.
He nodded slightly and stepped through the door first.
At the door, after all the people from Team 13 had entered, a natural employee of Sigmund Company came closer and couldn't help but ask, "Doctor, is it okay to let them in?"
The doctor who just finished the phone call shook his head, shrugged and spread his hands, "In this situation, even if you call their head, there is no reason not to go in and take a look, right?"
As he said this, he glanced at the secret door from the hall leading to the basement - it was now completely burned in the ruins of blazing fire.
Turning his gaze, he glanced at Sugita Tsukasa, who was alone in the strong firelight with his back to him, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
...
Second underground floor, exhibition hall.
"Has it been destroyed by someone from the outside?"
Kuka looked up at the ceiling above his head and lowered his hands slightly.
If his [Sixth Level Art. Cocoon] wants to destroy it internally, it can only be done by a Level 6 ability user with all his strength, but no one present just now made any move.
It is relatively easy to destroy it from the outside. It seems that there are some "uninvited guests" coming to the exhibition tonight.
Kuka raised his head and looked at the exhibition stand. His gaze behind the dark gold mask was undisguised as he glanced at Kusao Masaki, who had been staring at him like a viper for some time.
A moment later, a smile appeared on Kusao Masatian's face at the booth.
"Everyone, there are some situations above, but the impact is not very big. After you complete the pre-sale, we will have an exclusive VIP channel to send you off.
But now... I'm afraid our exhibition will have to enter the intermission first."
As he said this, others had already walked down from the booth.
Facing this kind-hearted middle-aged man who was short and fat and looked like a business manager, everyone in the audience backed away like a tide to make way for him.
But no one really thought this guy was so kind.
Kusao Shoten walked straight to Kuka and stood in front of him. Although there was still a smile on his face, his voice was filled with a biting chill.
"Sir...can you please take off your mask?"
Everyone couldn't help but be startled when they heard this. This mask was a layer of protection for their identity, and it was also a psychological barrier. Even if they participated in this kind of exhibition tonight, they would still be glamorous celebrities and gentlemen when they took off the mask tomorrow.
.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah... I've been discovered."
Behind the crowd, a man wearing a dark gold mask looked at the two people confronting him with interest, but unexpectedly, he was immediately hit by a high-heeled shoe on his foot.
"Shut up!"
Kojima Yuko said angrily. After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean you just offered three billion? Do we have that much money?"
Unexpectedly, Ryunosuke Kamiki immediately asked in surprise after hearing this, "Ah? Do we pirates still have to pay for things?"
"..." Yuko Kojima.
If I ever talk to this guy again I will be a pig!!!
Ryunosuke Kamiki, who was wearing a mask, ignored Kojima Yuko who was about to go berserk. Instead, he suddenly looked around and muttered to himself in confusion:
"Huh? Why is there someone missing here?"
"What?"
Kojima Yuko subconsciously asked.
After asking, her face darkened.
Ryunosuke Kamiki was not joking, scratched his head and said, "That's the Captain Dragonfly just now, oh, I almost forgot, Kojima, you grew up on the sea since you were a child, you must not know what Captain Dragonfly is, hahaha...
"
Kojima Yuko:......
Damn it!
Can we really get the job done with this guy?
Thinking of this, Kojima Yuko looked forward again to the two people facing each other.
If a fight breaks out later, they can take advantage of the chaos and take action.
As for Captain Dragonfly...
No one cares what that thing is.
...
at the same time,
In the corridor from the second underground floor to the third underground floor.
Wearing a dark golden dragonfly mask, Higashinohara carefully walked down the stairs and walked into a slightly dimly lit corridor. He estimated that the third floor of the basement should be in front of the corridor.
When he saw the rising and lowering cages on the stage, he realized that it was impossible for so many people to hide on the stage. There must be a level of detention space below the second-floor basement.
Now it seems that his guess was not wrong.
But just at this moment, a faint sound suddenly came into Higashinohara's ears, like a tough and strong whip being whipped.
The further he walked along the dim passage, the more clearly he could hear the sound. Finally, under the dim light at the end of the corridor, he vaguely saw an unusually sturdy figure, holding a tough whip knot in his hand.
It fell firmly to the ground again.
Snap!
It seemed like something splashed.
Hiss—!
The figure took a deep breath, as if there was some fragrant fragrance filling the air.
At this time, he was holding a whip and took out a cigarette and lighter from his pocket.
In the dim corridor, the moment the lighter flame flickered, Higashinohara glanced at the ground, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Lying in a pool of blood was the corpse of a young girl, about the same age as him, with skin and flesh all over her body so scarred that it was shocking.
There was no sound of wailing or screaming in the corridor when he was beaten, so he must have been dead for a while.
That means,
The man in front of me is clearly whipping...
Higashinohara's pupils shrank.
...
Dick Ashburn.
Special manager of the Tokyo branch of Sigmund International Trading Company. He is a master of fifth-level and first-level celestial abilities in talent sequence 54 [Blood Demon]. He admits that he has never discriminated against humans.
Well, because he "likes" humans - he likes humans struggling and wailing for mercy under the bloody whip.
After Dick blew out a smoke ring, he looked at Higashinohara in the corridor as expected, shook his head and said: "It's so disgustingly stupid that you don't even have the opportunity to evolve in front of you.
Dare to catch it, but actually try to escape... Ho ho ho ho... But the fragrance of this blood is unexpectedly fascinating... What do you think?"
Higashinohara didn't speak when he heard this, and stared at the other person quietly.
From this man who was full of the smell of blood, he smelled a ferocious aura, like a predatory cheetah ready to kill anyone at any time.
When he saw this person, the sin manual in his mind did not trigger the task again. Thinking of the unfinished task triggered by the man in white robe nicknamed 'Doctor' he met at night, Higashinohara had some reaction - sin
The manual currently cannot trigger multiple tasks at the same time.
Dick saw Higashinohara "frozen" there, with a relaxed and joking smile on his face, "It's strange... isn't it? Why do I appear on your way to the third underground floor? Is it a coincidence?"
"No no no!"
Dick gently shook his index finger and raised the corners of his mouth as if looking at some interesting prey.
"The way you used your shadow to deceive our company's elevator staff in the exhibition hall was indeed very clever and unique. If I guessed correctly, it should be [Shadow Instant] with the talent serial number ranking 98, right? It's a pity that it can only grow up to
Fourth level gray talent..."
Having said this, he suddenly stared at Higashinohara in a seductive tone:
"Would you like? Change your talent? Come and join us in our glorious evolution?"
