On the lonely and deserted streets, dilapidated high-rise buildings kept receding in sight. Panting heavily, I walked through one street after another, and finally quickly dived into a dark alley not far away after a corner.
As soon as he entered the alley, the man wearing a black execution team uniform poked his head out and looked behind him cautiously. His heart was beating rapidly, and the picture in his mind seemed to still be stuck in the life-and-death struggle half an hour ago.
However, unexpectedly, all the strange monsters in the community who were full of bloodthirsty and murderous desires for them disappeared behind them. There were only one or two yellowed old newspapers scrolling back and forth on the street, which was completely empty and silent.
Where is the shadow on the streets?
"How about it?"
The investigation team Gray Mine, who was leaning against the wall, calmed down his breathing and asked.
As he said this, his eyes couldn't help but look towards the few human ability users who were also gathering and panting deeper in the alley. Under the gloomy sun, his mood became extremely gloomy.
What is a little frustrating is that this time the investigation team first transferred seven elites headed by Gray Mane from the black-robed execution team of the Judgment Division in New Tokyo, and then hired seven human superpowers from the public.
The idea is naturally to take advantage of human beings' physique that is more likely to provoke strange demons, so that the hired human superpowers can be used as cannon fodder when encountering various unexpected dangers.
But what’s dramatic is that when all kinds of unexpected emergencies came, it was only the third day, and there were only three of Gray Mine’s “people” left in the investigation team, including him.
On the contrary, the number of hired human superpowers who survived was twice as many as them.
At this time, after hearing Gray Mane's words, the man who poked his head out breathed a long sigh of relief. After running away violently, his mind and body suddenly relaxed, and he subconsciously wanted to collapse and squat down.
Halfway down the squat, he realized that his immediate superior was staring at him with a gloomy face. He immediately got excited and quickly reported:
"No! Those strange demons didn't catch up."
Didn't catch up?
Now it was Gray Mane's turn to be stunned.
When he was besieged in Pujiang Community, he originally planned to take advantage of the situation and use these guys who contradicted him as bait.
Anyway, half of the task is now completed. Next, he only needs to get enough supplies for three people with the two remaining subordinates of the Judgment Division, and wait for another four days to activate the anchor point when the [Border] gate opens again.
The mission has been completely completed.
Unexpectedly, these human beings were extremely cunning, but they escaped decisively at the critical moment and turned around and ran away with them. Gray Mane still remembers the scalp-numbing madness emanating from the throats of countless strange demons behind him after rushing out of the community, as if they were not going to die.
roar.
You can finish shouting.
Is it over?
Did they just go back?
Although he knew it was wrong to think this way, this was really too weird, so weird that Gray Mine couldn't control himself from thinking this way.
etc!
Gray Mane suddenly realized a problem.
Why can they escape?
When he was in Pujiang Community, he realized the terror of that pregnant woman.
The opponent is not only a powerful telekinesis monster, but also a terrifying existence that is infinitely close to the second level and about to enter the third level.
You must know that according to the information provided by the two big figures from the Adjudication Department in Shangjing, the blue high-risk third-level strange demon is equivalent to an absolute ability user above the seventh level of strength.
Limited by the laws of the [Border] Gate, the highest level of people in the investigation team is the sixth level, and there is no way they can be opponents of the existence of the sixth level peak. This is why Gray Mane chose to act so decisively.
The reason for the above calculation.
But these hired human superpowers clearly had no power to fight back against the terrifying second-level peak telekinesis monster.
How can they escape?
Gray Mane suddenly became more and more puzzled. His gloomy and scrutinizing gaze swept over Hela and the others who were standing further back in the alley. After the incident in Pujiang Community just now, it seemed as if there was no connection between the two parties.
There is a clear invisible boundary.
Gray Mine's face suddenly became more gloomy. He did not look at Higashinohara. His eyes swept through everyone but finally landed on Camilla, and he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.
In his mind, this should be a chess piece from the big shot in the Adjudication Department.
No, maybe it's a poor "plaything".
Thinking of certain things, the corners of his lips could not help but curl up slightly, revealing a hint of sarcasm.
Camilla seemed to be aware of the other party's gaze, but he lowered his head slightly, his gaze lowered on his toes, and his heart was filled with a kind of anger and powerlessness.
My sister Vivian is in the hands of the other party.
It can be said that he is fighting for himself this time, but if the other party really threatens him with his sister next time, then he really doesn't know what to choose.
But in the end, Gray Mane didn't say anything. He just calmly withdrew his gaze and said in a low voice, "Leave here and find a safe place first."
After saying that, he didn't care about the people behind him, turned around and walked straight away.
In the alley, other people resting against the wall also took a breather.
Immediately afterwards, everyone's eyes turned to Higashinohara - this was not a domineering aura, but a subconscious manifestation of other individuals when one individual stood out enough.
To be honest, the biggest curiosity that Hela, Nanami Kenjiro and others have about Higashinohara has changed from why this boy named "Nishimiyai" can master such exquisite ancient swordsmanship at such a young age to the square in Urae Community just now.
The strange demon that possessed the terrifying telekinesis system was clearly angered, and was about to enter a real state of rage.
Suddenly, the boy named Nishimiyai uttered a few distorted syllables that were similar to the pronunciation of the strange demon in an extremely obscure manner, and the other party's anger level suddenly dropped.
He even got hit by debris.
What the hell is this?
Could it be some kind of ability in the talent sequence to follow the rules of speech?
But why do those obscure, twisted and convoluted syllables sound so similar to the pronunciation of a strange demon? Could it be that the ability to "speak as you speak" also comes from a strange demon? Or is it a language talent acquired through some kind of ability?
Everyone has their own secret.
Guesses are guesses,
No one came up to ask anything.
At this time, Higashinohara also understood that everyone was asking for his opinion. Although his personality was more suitable for being a loner, there was no need to be coy at the moment.
"Let's go, let's go together."
After saying that, he took the lead and followed.
Everyone behind him saw this and followed him one after another, filing out of the alley.
After a morning of circuitous advances and ambushes from all sides, everyone's physical strength was also exhausted. Logically speaking, they should camp near Pujiang Community.
After all, the place where the border gate reopened four days later was also near Pujiang Community.
But the strange thing is that Gray Mane led the way, and the direction he led everyone was still the direction to the Pearl Tower. His answer was to prevent the strange demons in Pujiang Community from touching them again.
It is now known that the Pearl Tower is a forbidden area.
This is true for them, and even more so for the strange monsters in Pujiang Community, so this time we simply chose the camp between Pujiang Community and Pearl Tower.
If the other party makes a comeback, the worst they can do is repeat last night's gathering under the tower. This way they can either advance or retreat.
This is the explanation given by Gray Mine.
It’s not clear whether others believe it or not. Anyway, Higashino was skeptical, but he didn’t express it verbally.
Half an hour later, a group of nine people finally stopped at a dilapidated and abandoned elementary school about halfway between Pujiang Community and Pearl Tower, and began to simply set up a temporary camp and distribute energy bars.
The supplies snatched from Pujiang Community this time were almost enough for each person for two days. They were distributed at once, but there are still four days until the next [Border] gate - which means what to do with the remaining two days.
You have to find your own way to get through it.
Of course, this is just Gray Mine's statement.
He led people up to grab the supplies, and he and his two close men were responsible for counting them. Even Jiyuan Wenren who tried to rob them was looked down upon, so only he knew how many days it would take.
In short, it’s up to you to believe it or not.
You can eat it in one day and carry it for three days.
You can also drink a steady stream of water once a day.
I have to say, whether it was in Jianghai in the previous life or in New Tokyo in this life.
This was the first time Higashinohara had worried so directly about the supply of food. After receiving the allocated energy bars and drinking water, he suddenly felt a magical and unreal feeling in his heart.
Turning his head and looking at the Pearl Tower slanting into the sky not far away, Higashinohara suddenly felt something in his heart, and an even more magical thought came to his mind uncontrollably.
What if in the next few days, the strange demons from the Pearl Tower and the strange demons from Pujiang Community are dispatched at the same time, sandwiching them in the middle?
