Chapter 169 The Judgment Department’s killer move, unknown particles!
Still can't trigger?
In the dim room, Higashinohara held two small swords in his hands, his eyes narrowed slightly.
His consciousness returned to his body from the "Guilty Manual" in his mind. After half a month of training, his first three attributes have now been improved to strength 24.4, agility 52.5 and constitution 32 under normal conditions.
Although most of Higashinohara's past battles relied on the wild bonus of temporary attributes to quickly end the battle in a very short period of time.
But his ability to survive to this day is naturally not entirely due to his attributes. The most important thing is his unusually tough nerves and his strong heart that becomes calmer when facing extreme dangers.
Under normal circumstances, the most prominent of his three attributes is his 52.5 agility, which after conversion is roughly equivalent to a fifth-level speed user. However, the second-level strength and third-level physical attributes have little impact on Higashinohara's overall strength.
A mutually reinforcing improvement.
This was his confidence to step forward.
But seriously speaking, Higashinohara has never encountered a very strong enemy under his normal attributes. Even at the last exchange meeting between Kyoto and New Tokyo Takehara Minami Private Academy, he won the "Five Kills in a Row" battle.
reward.
But those were seemingly powerful opponents, but in fact they were all enemies below level four and without much actual combat experience. Higashinohara had always been able to handle them with ease at that exchange meeting.
On the contrary, under the cold moonlight, the baby-faced girl with a little baby fat in front of her, with the strange bone-spur-like iron-blue scissors on her right arm covered in blood, put more pressure on Higashinohara than those from Takehara Minami in Kyoto.
Elite.
There is no doubt that this is the toughest enemy he has encountered since he did not trigger the [Guilty Manual].
"Oh? Is that you?"
At the door, Umekoji Kaori, who had been slashed away by Higashinohara, stared blankly at Higashinohara's half-chin outline outlined by the moonlight. For some reason, she suddenly felt sad in her heart. She lowered her head and murmured to herself:
"I originally thought I could leave a good impression on you. Maybe we can become friends in the future, but I didn't expect you to see me like this."
However, the next moment, she suddenly covered her head with her left hand in pain.
"No, I'm overthinking it. You are with them. The voice in my head told me that you all deserve to die."
The moment the words fell, the left hand of the baby-faced girl Umekoji Kaori, who was covering her face, was gradually coated with a ferocious iron-green color at a speed visible to the naked eye under the moonlight, and the limbs below the left arm joint sharpened into terrifying bone spurs again.
Like scissors.
Whoosh!
Bathed in the moonlight at the door, she seemed to suddenly disappear in a moment.
The next moment, Higashinohara's eyes suddenly shrank.
Zheng—!
Amidst two deafening explosions, the two small dachi swords in his hands quickly cut away the bone spurs that were attacking his chest. The scissors separated from the middle, and the blades and sharp blades pulled out bright sparks.
I saw the Kodachi in Higashinohara's right hand flashing a "Z" lightning in the dim room, and it struck at Kaori Umekoji's chest extremely fast.
Her left and right arms were extremely hard, but that didn't mean that her whole body was like this.
It's a pity that Higashinohara's speed under normal conditions is still more than a little bit slower. Umekoji Kaori raised the iron-green "scissor hands" to block, and the two people "clanked" again and burst out with fire.
Her body seemed weak and petite, but she didn't expect to contain such abundant power, and she was able to block a swift and sharp sword strike from Higashinohara, a person with nearly second-level power ability.
Higashinohara raised his eyebrows.
This guy in front of me is really difficult to deal with.
The cramped space in the office was not conducive to him taking advantage of his speed, and there were the injured Aragaki and his daughter behind him. Higashinohara did not want to continue fighting in the room.
After he slashed with his right hand, while his body was spinning, he slashed with his left hand against the cassock.
Umekoji Kaori blocked again.
But I didn't expect that this was just the beginning.
Sixth Company. Return to Heaven Sword Dance!
Between the roars of the angry wind, the terrifying howls and crashes sounded one after another like iron. The power contained in each shock forced Kaori Umekoji to take a step back involuntarily.
When the six consecutive concussive sounds fell, Umekoji Kaori had already been slashed out of the room and came to the third floor corridor in front of the detective office.
Higashinohara flashed and rushed forward again. Mai Aragaki, who was kneeling on the ground behind him, was dumbfounded.
Of course she knew that Higashinohara studied at the Academy for Abilities. In fact, she also graduated from Takehara Minami Private Academy, so she only paid attention to Higashinohara when they met occasionally. She subconsciously regarded the latter as a person from the countryside of Hokkaido.
Alumni students who came here and were helpless in New Tokyo and needed care.
It is said that the growth of a person with abilities goes from heaven to hell. Mai Aragaki never imagined that her junior would grow to this point one day.
Is this just a matter of accumulation?
Late bloomer?
Mai Aragaki's head was a mess.
In the corridor on the third floor, once the terrain opened up a little, Higashinohara immediately took advantage of his speed and turned into an assassin walking in the shadows, attacking frantically from all directions.
Finally, the somewhat "yandere" look on Kaori Umekoji's face disappeared, and there was a hint of fear in her eyes, which were faintly flashing with black mist.
At this time, Higashinohara was enough to make people fearful. The sword light that came and went without a trace was carried by the evil wind, sweeping back and forth from both sides of the corridor.
Gradually, Kaori Umekoji's speed could no longer keep up. Unable to protect herself, her skin began to appear cracked, and scarlet blood continued to seep out, making her look a little miserable.
"Same! Same! You are all the same!"
"No one understands me! You deserve to die!"
Without any warning, a shrill scream came from Kaori Umekoji's throat.
She suddenly gave up all her defenses and rushed towards Higashinohara at top speed like a madman regardless of the situation.
At this time, Higashinohara's body was slightly lowered, and he was holding the tachi in both hands. He lowered his eyebrows and said softly, "Everyone has a reason to live in this world, but these are not reasons to kill indiscriminately. Life should not be so light.
I won’t understand anyone who tramples on it.”
As soon as the words fell, Higashinohara's figure had disappeared from the spot.
Kodachi Two-Sword Style and Flying Sword Technique!
Yin and Yang are in reverse!
In the flickering corridor, the light of the two spatulas was like dew and lightning, passing directly over Kaori Umekoji's body like a direct ray of light.
The dim picture suddenly stopped.
With the assistance of a strength of 24.4 and a constitution of 32 points, Higashinohara, who originally only had the speed of the initial stage of the fifth stage, was able to slash the "flying knife technique" of the Kodachi Two-sword Style, which was infinitely close to the speed of the sixth stage.
And in front of her, Kaori Umekoji, despite the inexplicable changes that had occurred in her body, defeated the fourth-level Mai Aragaki in the blink of an eye the moment she came to the door at night, and slaughtered all the new interns who came with her.
But her current actual ability is at the peak of the fifth level at most, and she still relies entirely on some kind of "instinct" to fight. Under Higashinohara's "Flying Knife Technique" with a speed close to the sixth level.
Bow down on the spot,
It has become an inevitable conclusion!
In the dim corridor, I saw the black figure wielding bone spurs and scissors and rushing towards Higashinohara with a heart-rending sound of wind and cracks. The speed suddenly became slower and slower.
getting slower and slower
Tsk!
Scarlet blood splashed and spilled!
Without any warning, the figure was still rushing forward, and its neck suddenly split into two.
On the other side of the corridor, Higashinohara's figure emerged from the shadows and took a slight breath.
Turning back, he happened to see the flying head rolling all the way to the flickering light in the corridor.
The moment the light illuminated it again, for some reason, he saw a look of confusion and relief on the slightly baby face.
The next second, the lights in the corridor dimmed, and then they didn't come on again for a long time.
At this time, an ethereal mechanical prompt sound suddenly came from the "Guild Manual" in Higashinohara's mind.
【High concentration of unknown particles detected, do you confirm collection?】
Unknown particles?
What it is?
Is it related to the girl in front of me?
In a flash of thought, Higashinohara had already made a decision in his mind.
【Confirm collection】
Suddenly, Higashinohara felt as if there was a burst of invisible material shining in the corridor, and at the moment he was sure, it began to spin and shrink towards the center.
After shrinking to a certain extent, something in the fluorescence seemed to be struggling and howling miserably, and finally turned into a green light spot the size of a rice grain and fell into the center of his eyebrows.
At this time, rustling footsteps came from the Aragaki Detective Agency.
In the room, when Mai Aragaki supported the injured Satoru Aragaki and moved to the door, she suddenly heard a sudden silence in the corridor. She was a little confused and couldn't help but stop vigilantly.
"Mai-senpai."
Suddenly, a gentle voice came from the corridor.
Aragaki Mai was stunned for a moment, and recognized that the voice was Higashinohara who had just arrived.
"It has ended."
"Oh ah?"
Aragaki Mai was stunned for a moment.
From Higashinohara's timely appearance to save their father and daughter, to him slashing the other party out of the room, to the terrifying and shrill wind roar sweeping across the corridor, and finally to the sudden stop at this moment.
It came together too quickly and too suddenly!
It makes people a little unable to react.
But thinking that Higashinohara would never lie to her, Mai Aragaki supported her father Satoru Aragaki on her shoulders and cautiously poked her head out to take a look.
When she saw the familiar headless corpse lying not far away, she couldn't help but froze on the spot again, muttering to herself, "It turns out it's really over."
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Higashinohara, with a hint of surprise in her eyes again.
The strange girl who just broke into the detective office to commit murder is not sure of her specific strength, but at least she is a fourth-level superpower. She is obviously a physical body but possesses extremely fast strange abilities, which is unheard of.
Mai Aragaki originally thought that Higashinohara's sudden appearance could hold her back for a while until the rescue of the Metropolitan Police Department's Third Investigation Team on the way, or wait for her to settle her seriously injured father and wait for her to move to help.
But she never expected it.
That young junior boy back then was actually so fast!
She hasn't reacted yet.
Everything is already over.
At this time, Mai Aragaki, who has been busy with work recently, suddenly remembered something she heard mentioned by an alumnus of Takehara Minami Private Academy not long ago. She was outspoken and asked subconsciously:
"I heard that in this year's exchange meeting at Takehara Minami Private Academy, there was a repeater class student who won five consecutive battle prizes and group prizes?"
After Aragaki Mai finished speaking, she stared straight at Higashinohara.
Higashinohara scratched his head in astonishment and said with some embarrassment, "Yes, it's me."
"No wonder, it's really impressive, Higashino-kun." Aragaki Mai clicked her tongue in admiration.
"Mai-senpai."
Higashinohara pointed to Aragaki Satoru lying on her shoulder, "Should we take Aragaki-san to the hospital first?"
"Ah! Hurry!"
Aragaki Mai suddenly became anxious again.
The pale-faced Aragaki Satoru weakly twitched the corner of his mouth a few times, saying that his daughter was his father's little cotton-padded jacket, and what a leaky little cotton-padded jacket he had given birth to.
About fifteen minutes later,
It was around 8:25 p.m.
Noisy sirens sounded, and police cars, fire trucks and ambulances were parked downstairs in Aragaki Apartment.
Every household in the five-story apartment building had lights on, and in the corridors on each floor, many tenants poked their heads in surprise and pointed at the stretchers that were covered with white cloths and were being carried out, talking secretly.
When Higashinohara went upstairs, he met Nishimaru Miria and his aunt Coladia who were startled by the movement downstairs, as well as Charlie who ran over to watch the pay TV.
"What happened downstairs, big brother?" Nishimaru Miria asked with a little worry on her face when she saw Higashinohara who said he wanted to go down for exercise but then returned.
"It's nothing, it's over." Higashinohara didn't want to say too much to the little girl.
Charlie, who was standing on tiptoes and looking out with her head raised, came to her senses and said to Higashinohara excitedly:
"Higashino, I heard that Mi-ri-chan said that you want to go to that convenience store tomorrow. Do you want me to accompany you? I'm not an unloyal person. Just treat me to a meal!"
"Oh, there's no need to go." Higashinohara said.
"Huh?" Charlie was stunned.
"It's all over." Higashinohara said.
After saying this, he didn't explain much. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows before returning to the room?
Although he saved Aragaki Satoru and Aragaki Mai in time tonight, every time he thought of the bodies of the young interns lying in a pool of blood, he didn't even know their names.
Dong Yeyuan felt a little depressed.
He always feels,
Originally, everything shouldn't be like this, including that baby-faced girl with a little baby fat.
What happened to her?
Thinking of this, Higashinohara's heart moved slightly, and his consciousness was once again immersed in the "Guilty Manual" - Mai Aragaki suddenly appeared just now, before he had time to check what the so-called "unknown particles" were.
[Collection of unknown particles completed]
[The host obtains blue ability [Scissorhands] fragments]
[The host can permanently upgrade the fragment acquisition ability through source power points]
[The host can obtain source power points through decomposition]
A series of prompts sounded, and Higashinohara's brows could not help but frown slightly.
Scissorhands?
The name is a bit weird, like a movie I watched in a previous life, but it is undoubtedly an ability that is not in the talent sequence.
etc!
Not in the talent sequence?
Suddenly, Higashinohara inexplicably remembered that night under the Tokyo Sky Tree half a month ago. Many people had acquired abilities that had not existed in this world for thousands of years.
Some people left this world forever, and a small number of people were gradually released from the hospital after a week of observation and research. Later, with the intervention of the Judgment Division and the blocking of media information, related events and news gradually faded out.
public view.
Was that baby-faced girl also under the sky tree that night?
Is it just that she somehow became a "fish that slipped through the net" that the Adjudication Department did not observe the abnormality? Or maybe she was not forced into the hospital by the people from the Adjudication Department at all?
Higashinohara didn't know about this.
The results will come after the Metropolitan Police Department investigates.
Shaking his head and not thinking about it, Higashinohara's consciousness returned to the "Guild Manual".
Spend source power points to upgrade complete abilities?
Then don’t think about it.
Higashinohara is still suffering from the lack of source power points.
Moreover, this ability does not conform to his aesthetics, and its origin is a bit strange.
[Whether to confirm the decomposition]
【confirm】
Higashinohara's consciousness stirred slightly, and the font [Scissorhands (Fragment)] on the panel trembled violently. In the blink of an eye, it turned into blue particles like quicksand, and all the fonts on the panel disappeared.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 0.5 source power points]
It turns out it really works.
Higashinohara looked at these power points and remembered a piece of news he saw online two days ago, and his eyes suddenly became slightly brighter.
Maybe we won’t have to risk finding criminals anymore?
At the same time, the official residence of the Adjudication Division in New Tokyo.
The Fifth Judgment Commander Crow Jian pushed open the door and looked at the Sixth Judgment Commander Adeline who was sitting behind the desk with her long white legs cocked very inelegantly and showing infinite charm under the warm yellow light.
There was only coldness in his hawk-like eyes, and he said in a slightly low voice, "You should not allow humans to participate in the investigation and evaluation behind the [Border] door without authorization."
"why not?"
Adeline chuckled lightly, "Human beings are the most preferred carriers of strange demons. If you are afraid that they will betray us, don't forget that we have undercover agents."
After hearing the other party's words, Crow Jian's face remained expressionless, and his two eyes stared at Adeline sitting behind the desk like sharp swords.
The office suddenly became quiet.
After a moment of silence,
Adeline suddenly laughed softly.
"Okay, okay, I know, I can't hide anything from you. I admit that letting humans participate is selfish, but don't forget, this is just one of our business trips to Wano to investigate the borders of alien demons.
Mr. Wiseman also gave us a very important task, which is the "Captain Dragonfly"."
"You should also know that because that ridiculous guy wearing a mask caused us to lose two adjudicators in this tiny place, some forces in the Alliance and the sea have begun to make moves recently, right?"
Hearing Adeline's rhetorical question, the Fifth Judgment made Crow Jian silent for a moment again, and he was keenly aware of the crux of the problem, "You mean that human being wearing a mask will be interested in the strange demon [Border]?
"
"Hasn't he always been interested in strange demons? Otherwise, how could he have appeared under the Sky Tree so coincidentally half a month ago?"
The sixth ruling made Adeline shrug and said with a half-smile, "Moreover, you should have seen the video of his battle. Do you think that the guy's awakened innate ability is a little too exaggerated?"
"You mean the strange demon?" Crowe said.
"What else would it be like?"
Adeline chuckled and said, "Even the Celestial Dragon Clan, the most talented among the Celestials, has never publicly appeared a genius with more than three abilities. I don't believe that someone in a humble race like humans can awaken so many innate abilities without relying on external forces.
"
"So you want to open [the border] this time."
"Simple, please get into the jar."
The last two days of the month are coming!
Double monthly pass has been opened, please give me a monthly pass~
