The black substance is constantly changing in the glass bottle, and all energy that comes close to it is disrupted, turning it off in a way that no man has ever seen before, which is why it loses its power source when attached to the power compartment of a battleship.

"Miss Aichi, didn't you report this thing to the mission?" Chiba had sorted out everyone's mission reports, but she clearly remembered that Aichi Ise had not reported anything about the black substance.

"It's still an unknown substance to us, and I'm going to study it thoroughly and report it directly to the higher-ups. ”

"Well, it's not impossible, if Aichi-sama thinks it's safer. Chiba looked at the black substance in the bottle and asked, "So, what's going on with the area outside the circle you just said?"

"This mass cannot be destroyed by any energy, but it cannot be destroyed by ordinary physical means, it is invincible in a sense, at least in terms of our current technology and cognition. Aichi walked to the back and summoned obsidian, and then slowly approached the experimental table, only to see that her sword and shield suddenly disappeared when she was about a meter away from the substance in the bottle, and the power of obsidian in her whole body dissipated instantly!

"This is ......" Chiba looked at Aichi's empty hands, her obsidian did not lift, but suddenly disappeared from her sight.

"It's a lot like the outer circle of the other world, right? It's just a small part of the bottle, imagine what it would be like if more of these substances were made into a space?" Aichi asked, tilting his head.

"Maybe we can make it into a weapon......" An idea popped into Chiba's mind, and he subconsciously said it with his mouth.

"Weapons? But it's not aggressive. Oh, do you mean to use it to disable the enemy's abilities?" Aichi suddenly realized that Chiba's proposal was not impossible, and that this weapon might work wonders against humanoid obsidian like Maki and Sakuraba, but it could only eliminate the blood curse power in their bodies, not destroy their innate bodies.

"Can you try to give birth?"

"I don't know, although your ideas are good, but what are we going to use to launch them?" Aichi asked, staring at the bottle on the test table, "Ordinary devices have lost the power to fire before they are fired, and if they are made into bullets, I am afraid that if they want to hit a guy like them, they will have to practice their marksmanship to the point of mastery, and the person with the best marksmanship in the keel is Mr. Miya, so he can't be allowed to take on such a heavy responsibility alone, right?"

"I have a proposal. A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind them, and the two looked back to see Sakuruma walking slowly.

"When did you come?" Aichi was a little surprised, she probably heard everything here.

"Perception weakens as you get close to that, Eighth Rider. Sakuruma approached the bottle, and a repulsion was evident, and all the power in her body disappeared, including the obsidian power in her blood, and she also fell into a deep sleep, "If the device and the gun can't be used, we can replace it with the most primitive thing." ”

"The most primitive thing?"

"Knives. Ordinary weapons don't contain any energy, and although it can be a bit difficult to deal with the obsidian class, if you encounter Yatome again, a knife with this substance may kill her. Sakuruma looked up at Aichi and said, "Miss Aichi, if you believe me, you can give it to me for experimentation." ”

"But we haven't figured out what it's made up of yet, and it can be harmful to humans. ”

"We didn't have any special training before we were summoned to another world, but we survived, and if the area outside the circle had anything to do with this substance, I don't think it would have done any harm to the human body. ”

"Are you okay?" Aichi was still a little uneasy about leaving it to Sakurama to experiment on her own.

"The keel is already busy from the top to the black rider, and Miss Aichi doesn't have much time, right?"

"That's true...... Okay, but there's a premise. Aichi handed the glass bottle to Sakuruma and reminded, "If there is any problem with the experiment, stop it immediately, I will seal it up and take it out when necessary." ”

"yes, I see. ”

"There's a lot of work left undone, and I've been working on this stuff these days. Aichi left the lab in a hurry.

After Aichi left, Chiba didn't rush back, but recalled Sakurama's contact two days ago: "Sakurama, you were investigating Asuka at the time, right? I also read the file of the one named Lance Hall later, but the two of them don't seem to have much to do with each other, just classmates." ”

"It was Asuka who killed him. ”

"What?" Chiba didn't react for a while, when he was with Asuka these days, he couldn't tell that he looked like a child who had killed people in his current life, but Sakurama's investigation couldn't go wrong.

"I went to Asuka's former home and met his sister, Asuka Toko. I also found some books about violence and gore from his room, as well as the murder weapon hidden under his bed, the blood on which belonged to Lance Hall, and I haven't had time to investigate the rest. Sakurama took out a few photos from his pocket and placed them on the test bench, "This is Asuka Arashi's parents, brutally dismembered and photographed, and the person who did all this is himself." ”

"But why did he do that?" Chiba picked up the photos in disbelief, because of the age and the dampness of the bookcase where it was hidden, the photos looked yellow and wrinkled, but the blood on them was the only thing that hadn't faded.

"He used to be a person with major depression, suicidal and violent, but he kept it well hidden. ”

"Depression? But there's no record on his file. Chiba said curiously.

"Asuka's file may have been tampered with, I'll tell you about that later. Sakurama recalled the conversation with Toko, and said slowly, "The other world will not repair the wounds caused by the present world, so the scars will follow humans for a lifetime. Miss Toko said that Asuka had committed suicide by slitting his wrist many times, but we did not find a scar on his right wrist when we examined his body. ”

"Do you mean his sister is lying?"

"No, I suspect that Asuka's right hand is a new limb reconnected from another world, so his entire right bone is made up of obsidian, and the white sword, which was transplanted into Asuka along with his right hand, only awakened its power in the present world. ”

"I'll let the other members investigate this matter in secret, hoping to find out the truth. Okay, now let's talk about what you just wanted to say, why did Asuka Lan's file get tampered with? ”

Sakurama nodded: "That's right, it's because that file has been kept in the keel that others have a chance to take advantage of it." Lance Hall's file says he went abroad for treatment of a serious illness, but the man was clearly on the list of those who died. None of the locals knew the truth except for Lance's father, and they all thought that Lance was going abroad for treatment as the file said, but in fact he had been killed by Asuka Arashi a year earlier. ”

"Think about Reims's file, his file was approved by Keel, not Finland, his country. In other words, someone hid the cause of his death and covered up Asuka Arashi's crimes. ”

"Only the top officials can approve or modify the files, is it Yatome who did it?" asked Chiba.

"It's not her, but the thing about Asuka and the betrayal of Yaotome have the same intersection point, that is, Kamimei and Haya. ”

"The third ride?"

"The other day, when I was searching for Asuka and Sirina, I met in the jungle with his third horseman, and he was desperate to get Asuka Arashi, as if he knew that Asuka would be selected to participate in the game and win the game in a year's time, he was helping Asuka clear the way to the other world. ”

"No way, how did the third rider know a year ago that Asuka would be in the game? ”

"I'd rather believe it's a coincidence, but we had to prepare for the worst. ”

"What's the worst?" Chiba wondered.

"If the gods had been able to predict what would happen in the future, it wouldn't have been difficult to do that. ”

Chiba's face changed, and he shook his head and said, "How much power does he have...... Mind Killer and Immortal Body, is there still one more foresight of the future? I've never seen more than two gifted survivors in my keel. ”

"You know that Kazuhaya is an exception. ”

Chiba's mood gradually stabilized, Sakuruma was right, if it weren't for the fact that Kazuya Kazuya was too special, Shimizu wouldn't have reached this point, and now no one dared to touch him easily, which means that no one dared to continue to do anything to Yaoto and her subordinates.

"But if you have this. Sakuruma held up the glass bottle and looked at the ever-changing substance inside, "Kazuhaya Kazumi is also a survivor like us, and his innate abilities are acquired, and if the contents of this bottle can cancel out his power, I think it shouldn't be difficult to kill him." ”

"Miss Shimizu said that the third rider can kill a giant obsidian even with his bare hands, his strength is terrifying, and we must have a warrior as strong as him. ”

"No, not us, but all of humanity. Sakurama said suddenly.

"How can a human being be his opponent?"

"Chiba, don't underestimate humans, you just haven't noticed their existence yet. If we can use this thing to eliminate the power of Kami and Haya, he is just an ordinary human, and the range of options for fighting between humans will become more extensive. There are a total of 7.5 billion human beings in the world, even if it is one in 7.5 billion, then this person still exists, find him, we can use his power to defeat the third horseman. ”
