The usually deserted streets of Shinjuku seem to be a little more lively than the past few days, with warm yellow lights shining like the display windows of several shops on the street.
Some young lovers stood arm in arm and cuddled up, looking longingly at the expensive goods that they could not yet afford. Occasionally, they caught sight of the members of the Third Investigation Team patrolling the street wearing navy blue windbreakers. Passersby were all excited.
They all stopped and looked at him respectfully.
Today is March 19th, the sixth day after the Sky Tree [Border Gate] opened.
In fact, with the large number of foreign forces pouring into Wano without a leader, various accidents that occur daily in the 23 wards of New Tokyo are becoming more and more intensive.
But after reaching a peak on the fourth day, there was a significant decrease in the next two days.
This also allowed people who had been holding back at home for so many days to finally come out with some youth and boldness tonight to show off. The security on the streets is obviously much better than before.
In the past, many people may have had little idea of the Third Investigation Team of the Metropolitan Police Department. Ordinary people had more daily contact with ordinary police officers of the local police department.
But after experiencing this incident, more and more people are beginning to understand that the reason for their peaceful life is that someone is carrying a heavy burden and moving forward.
Of course, it’s not just the third investigation team wearing navy blue windbreakers.
Without warning, there was a sudden commotion at the street corner ahead, and a group of people ran in panic from that direction, looking back from time to time on the way.
"Don't go forward! There's something going on in the mall ahead."
"What happened?"
"It seems that a few foreigners were killing people in a luxury store in the mall."
"Go, go, go!"
"."
The third investigation team patrolling the street discovered something was wrong and immediately sent out a few people to evacuate the chaotic crowd on the street. The remaining people all rushed towards the shopping mall behind the corner of the street in front of them.
Boom—!
Unexpectedly, at this moment,
Suddenly there was a burst of explosions from ahead.
The next moment, a blurry shadow was seen passing through the crowd like a ghost, drifting into the shopping mall where chaos broke out.
Everyone stared blankly at the figure, as if something suddenly came to mind at this moment.
Could it be him?
In the past few days, the security of New Tokyo has improved, and there is another person who has left a very deep impression on countless people in New Tokyo - that is, he has appeared on the morning news every morning these days.
The Scarlet White Yaksha of Daybreak wearing a white-faced fanged Yaksha mask.
Although there are rumors on the Internet that the Scarlet of Dawn is a hunting organization, and the people in it are paid to do things.
But if everyone who gets money can save people's life-and-death crisis like Bai Yaksha did with timely rain, they would rather let Bai Yaksha earn more money.
Just when everyone hesitated for a while, the crowd in front near the corner suddenly let out another burst of cheers.
The people behind who didn't know what was going on were swept back like a surging tide. After turning the corner, everyone realized that it was as expected.
"The Scarlet of Dawn, White Yaksha."
In front of the shopping mall, Higashinohara threw away the weapons he had just snatched from a few terrorists in the shopping mall, and said businesslikely to the people of the third investigation team who came outside the door.
When saying this,
Higashinohara actually hesitated a little.
It's not that he felt a bit out of touch. After saying it so many times, Higashinohara had already become numb and unable to feel anything.
Moreover, this was also a necessary step in the mission regulations of Dawn Scarlet. Between getting money for completing the mission and feeling ashamed, he naturally chose the former without any hesitation.
The reason why he hesitated this time was because he saw an acquaintance among the three people outside, that is Aragaki Mai, the daughter of the unscrupulous uncle Aragaki Satoru in the Aragaki apartment.
Unexpectedly, even though Mai-senpai promised not to go to the front line, she still took on patrol duties in a place unknown to Aragaki Satoru.
This is actually already on the front line.
However, he didn't intend to tell a story to Aragaki Satoru. Everyone has their own lifestyle choice. Besides, with Aragaki Satoru's understanding of his daughter, he might not have guessed this.
More and more people gathered in front of the door. Some people even took out their mobile phones to take photos of him excitedly. After saying hello, Higashinohara turned around and wanted to leave the mall.
As for the things he destroyed while fighting those pirates in the mall, Wild Rose will handle the compensation afterwards to maintain the reputation of Dawn Scarlet.
But Higashinohara felt that the wool came from the sheep, and the money might be paid by the gang behind these pirates in the end.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Um, please wait a moment."
If it had been anyone else, Higashinohara would not have stayed any longer, but he recognized that the voice was Mai Aragaki.
Been recognized?
That shouldn't happen, right?
He turned his head and looked at Mai Aragaki, who was about to speak, and Mai Aragaki couldn't help being slightly startled.
She has been hearing from her colleagues that the Jaegers wearing ShiroYasha masks have been very popular in New Tokyo recently and have helped many places to rescue critical situations. However, compared to other Jaegers active in New Tokyo, they are too indifferent.
This time I just tried shouting, but I didn’t expect the other party to really stop.
She was a little distracted when she reacted. Looking at the white-faced and fanged Oni Yaksha mask staring back at her, she quickly bowed slightly and said, "I'm really grateful to you for all these days."
She really meant what she said.
At the beginning of the chaos in New Tokyo, the Metropolitan Police Department and the Third Investigation Team had reports of casualties every day, and as the chaos intensified, the number of casualties every day also increased.
This has made the entire Metropolitan Police Department panic-stricken and the atmosphere very depressing. No one knows whether they will be able to see the sun again tomorrow.
But at this moment, the hunters of Dawn Scarlet intervened, and among these hunters, Shiro Yaksha, the most active and the most frequently photographed, left a deep impression on countless people.
You can meet him in the Edogawa Ward in the easternmost part of New Tokyo at sunrise in the morning, and you can also meet him in the Nerima Ward in the westernmost part of New Tokyo at noon.
At night, you can see him in the southernmost Ota Ward. The most incredible thing is that sometimes in the middle of the night, you can even meet him again in the northernmost Adachi Ward.
He is not the patrol team of the Third Investigation Team, but he is better than the city's timely rain. He will appear wherever there is a need, like a sleepless robot.
At this time, the people gathered in front of the shopping mall heard Aragaki Mai's words and recalled that the crime rate in New Tokyo city had dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye in the past two days, allowing many stores that had been on the verge of closure to reopen again, so that they could not
Take to the streets again with so much fear.
"Thank you! ShiroYasha!"
"Come on, Shiroyasha!"
"."
For a moment, the people holding mobile phones in front of the mall also reacted and spontaneously formed a circle and bowed in unison to Higashinohara.
The thanks came one after another.
Higashinohara didn't expect to encounter something like this today, but the synchronized voices in his mind made him slightly dazed for a moment.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the cleanup task]
[Attribute point reward: 3]
[Ability drop reward: Talent sequence 36 Ice Pivot]
【Are you sure to add points?】
【confirm】
【Strength:58.5+1→59.5】
【Physique:67.7+2→69.7】
[Whether to decompose the blue high-risk ability Ice Core]
[Confirm decomposition]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 source power point]
[Current source power points: 4.8]
After nearly a week of frantically completing the mission, Higashinohara's [Strength] and [Physique] have also been greatly improved.
Among them, the improvement of physical fitness is particularly outstanding. It has increased from 52.5 a week ago to 69.7 today, only one step away from reaching the seventh level mark of 70 points.
What Higashinohara is not sure about now is whether the [Physique] attribute exceeding 70 points will be subject to restrictions like the original agility reverse push of the [Shadow Instant] field "Phantom Sakura Killing Chaos".
However, he had a vague feeling in his heart that if he could make further progress in terms of physical attributes, his [World Destroyer (can be upgraded twice)] in the [Ability List] column might be the real one.
Complete the second advancement and become a more advanced physical system ability.
What I have to say is that among the hundreds of talent sequence periodic tables in this world, there is currently no ability that can be advanced twice.
The [Green Sorrow] that Higashinohara obtained can be advanced for the second time, which also makes him have to lament his good luck. He wonders if there will be three times after the second advancement?
At the entrance of the shopping mall, Higashinohara pulled back his thoughts that were gradually drifting away.
Thank you?
Glancing at the people at the entrance of the shopping mall, Higashinohara's heart was completely unmoved.
Prior to this, it only took a short month for his previous three identities of "Captain Dragonfly", "New Tokyo Discipline Committee" and "Fox-faced Man" to go from being admired by people to being shouted at by everyone.
That's all.
Although he knows this, he does not blame the people in front of him who sincerely thank him. The underlying reason is the political strategy of the big shots above, and the people can easily be fooled by the asymmetric information gap.
But having that experience made him look down on these so-called false reputations a lot.
So at this moment, Higashinohara, who had never said anything unnecessary during the mission for a week, glanced at Aragaki Mai, and suddenly said calmly:
"No need to thank me, everyone just gets what they need."
His voice was not loud, but Mai Aragaki and the few members of the Third Investigation Team who followed could hear it clearly, and they couldn't help but be slightly startled for a moment.
By the time they came to their senses, Higashinohara had disappeared from everyone's sight.
"To each his own?"
Several people in the third investigation team were stunned for a moment, vaguely feeling the faint sense of alienation coming from Higashinohara.
He seems unwilling to have too much contact with them.
Aragaki Mai was stunned, but a smile suddenly appeared on her face:
"He seems to be a great guy!"
ah?
Everyone was stunned again.
"He is a hunter of the hunter organization. He helps us complete our mission and can indeed earn a lot of money from the family conglomerate of Team Leader Kimura."
Speaking of this, Mai Aragaki paused for a moment before continuing, "It's exactly like this that he can be proud without bowing when facing our thanks. Such a person can only be said to have a kind of pride in his bones.
It's not like some politicians who do something for the people and obviously get a lot of benefits, but then immediately put it on film to gain fame and reputation to win public support."
"Ahem. Captain Aragaki, be careful what you say!"
"."
In a black business car one kilometer away to the southwest of the mall, when Higashinohara opened the door and got into the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt, Wild Rose, who was in charge of driving in the driver's seat, suddenly reacted.
"Is it solved?" Wild Rose, who was watching a Yamato drama, was startled.
Even though it had been like this all these days, she still couldn't adapt to Higashinohara's elusive way of appearing. People would disappear and appear next to her from time to time, and those who didn't know it thought it was haunted.
"Yeah." Higashinohara nodded.
"Tsk, tsk. We have set a new record for the fastest and most missions of the Chasseur organization in the past few days." Wild Rose said with admiration.
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Duixi turned over the laptop on his lap without saying a word. It clearly showed the number of tasks they had completed in the past six days.
There are a total of thirty-three tasks. On average, almost five tasks are completed in a day.
You know, after all, most people will be injured when performing hunting missions, and fighting with injuries is a taboo for hunting soldiers.
Even if you are slightly injured, you need to rest for two or three months. You only have five or six opportunities to perform missions a year.
But Higashinohara is good, one day's workload is worth more than one year.
"Congratulations, you are now a Seven-Star Hunter."
In the back seat, Huang Huang still didn't have much expression on his face, but there was a smile in his tone.
In fact, Higashinohara already had the potential to be selected as a seven-star hunter after he killed the Rain Demon Sheila, but he was limited by the fact that he had not completed enough tasks.
Now that he has been completing missions for nearly a week with high efficiency and high quality, it is reasonable for him to be promoted to seven stars.
On the other hand, Wild Rose, who was in the driver's seat, couldn't help but smile when she heard this. She secretly sighed that Wano Country really came to the right place this time!
This time, not only was the sponsor of the mission generous and never defaulted on hunting funds, which saved her, the hunter who was responsible for the aftermath, a lot of unnecessary trouble, she was also matched with Higashinohara, a fierce new monster, by some strange combination of circumstances.
.
Her original plan was to attack the Seven-Star Hunters within two years, but with Higashinohara's astonishing number of missions completed, she and Huang Huang actually completed the upgrade from Six-Star Hunters to Seven-Star Hunters in just one week.
This was an unexpected surprise that she had never expected.
Compared to Wild Rose's "easy win", he probably only played the role of driver in the whole process.
These days, when my brain is running at almost full capacity, I select targets from mission topics and collect target information through various channels. At dusk, I have seven stars on my liver, and I still have dark circles under my eyes.
But for most scout hunters, dusk is also lucky enough.
You can do it, but the mission objectives and information you generate must be completed by the execution hunter. That is to say, when you encounter Higashinohara, a "point-grinding madman", it is impossible for the normal execution hunter to complete it with such efficiency.
Task.
Seven Star Hunter?
A thoughtful look appeared on Higashinohara's face.
Before performing the mission, his attention was entirely focused on whether he had triggered the [Guilty Manual]. After the mission was completed, his attention returned to his attribute points and the rising balance in his private account at Tagos United Citibank.
But I really didn’t pay much attention to my hunter star rating.
Hearing the reminder of dusk at this time, Higashinohara couldn't help but take out his mobile phone, open the wait and see of the [Dawn of Scarlet] Jaeger organization, and open his personal interface.
Sure enough, his hunter star number has turned into seven stars, and there is also a red "↑" logo.
However, when returning to the main interface, Higashinohara accidentally glanced at the Wano Country mission column, but found a mission in the column that restricted browsing - only hunters with seven stars or above can enter and browse.
Um?
Higashinohara couldn't help but be startled when he saw this. He clicked in and took a look, and suddenly couldn't move his eyes away.
【Lost Hell】:
Recruit seven-star hunters who are full of adventurous and exploratory spirit. Hunting gold will be settled on a daily basis. If you survive, you can get 10 million yen hunting gold directly into your account every day. If you complete temporarily released tasks during exploration, hunting gold will be calculated separately.
Interested parties can contact us.
Huang Wan, who was sitting in the back seat, noticed Higashinohara's slightly stunned gaze. He immediately frowned and rarely took the initiative to warn:
"It's best not to get too hung up on that mission."
Huang Wan rubbed his eyebrows and glanced at Higashinohara who was wearing a mask. This guy's tone was obviously tempting.
Is he really that short of money?
To have money, you have to have famous flowers.
"Do you know where the legendary hell is?" Dusk asked seriously.
The voice fell,
The car suddenly fell into a brief silence.
Seeing that Higashinohara stopped talking, Huang Wan was about to say something to dispel Higashinohara's idea of taking risks.
Unexpectedly, Higashinohara raised his hand and scratched the fangs on the mask, and said hesitantly, "This. I seem to really know something about it."
The last few days at the end of the month are spicy, please vote for me~
