The next day, Nikaido and Chiba were taken back to the keel building, but the two were punished accordingly for disobeying Shimizu's orders.

"The fifth rider, Nikaido Kuro, is currently punished by three days of confinement, during which the black rider will be temporarily held by Onishima May, and he will handle the corresponding affairs. Qing Shui glanced at Chiba on the hospital bed next door again, and when the four eyes met, Chiba had to smile awkwardly, "Chiba Yukito, the current punishment for you is - a one-week suspension." ”

"Why ...... like this" The expression on Chiba's face instantly froze, and this was also the first time she had been punished.

"It is not up to me to punish those who disobey orders, but it is a punishment that must be imposed on the corresponding people after the unanimity of all the Black Riders and the Dragonbone higher-ups. Fortunately, Xiaoxue, the higher-ups originally planned to demote you, and then send them to train newcomers who have just returned from another world. ”

"Hey. At this moment, Nikaido, who was leaning on the head of the bed, suddenly cast a fierce gaze, "This matter has nothing to do with her, I forced her to do it, now, immediately revoke the punishment for her." ”

Qing Shui was stunned for a moment, from the first time he saw Nikaido this morning, he felt as if something had changed in him, and now he was actually talking to himself, this was the first time in several years, and it was the first time in a long time that he had heard him talking to himself.

"Even though I am the supreme commander, I do not have the power to revoke the punishment, I hope you will understand. Qing Shui tried her best to calm her mind, she had been feeling guilty about Nikaido's brother since she knew she had killed him in that game, and now she was a little relieved.

"Senior, no need, I can't go anywhere now anyway, just take a week's rest. Chiba looked at his ankle wrapped in gauze, "In this world, the recovery of wounds is much slower than when I was in another world~"

"Then you two can rest here for a while, I still have something to deal with, so let's go first." ”

"Oh. Chiba nodded, watched Qing Shui leave, and watched her walk out of the medical department before lying down with her head propped up, "Isn't that great? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't have a good rest last night, hurry up and get some sleep to replenish your energy. ”

"Okay, got it. ”

Qing Shui, who had left the medical department, found Onishima May, who was waiting on the side, and gave him a look and asked, "How is it?"

"I've confirmed, the red light last night was indeed Mr. Nikaido's martial arts liberation, and he was already approaching the area outside the circle at that time, so it seems that he was also forced to do so. "Onijima had probed the memories of the two just now, but all he could see was some fixed information, and his ability was very limited.

"Fortunately, no one else knew about this this time, otherwise the punishment for Nikaido would have been even greater. ”

"In addition, when they arrived on the island, the door to the outside of the circle was also opened, and Mr. Nikaido killed the sun-class dangerous species that rushed out of it, did he tell you about this?"

"No, no wonder his body is injured like that, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary monsters to hurt him. ”

"But Mr. Nikaido is really brave, how did he manage to kill a sun-level monster that is difficult for even obsidian to deal with in the area outside the circle with just the flesh of an ordinary person?"

"Don't underestimate him, after all, his strength is one of the best among all the black riders except for that person. ”

Onishima paused, and after a long time, he said, "Miss Shimizu, yesterday they talked about the gods and Mr. Zao. ”

The expression on Qing Shui's face suddenly disappeared, and he asked with a frown: "Third Ride, God and Zao, I really haven't mentioned this name for a while, damn it, I almost forgot that guy." ”

"Miss Shimizu?"

"May, go and inform the Eighth Rider, and I'll go to her in an hour. Qing Shui walked to the portal and returned to the office, looking at the empty room, she frowned and sighed, and said to herself: "Shen and Zao, what a reassuring guy......"

An hour later, Shimizu opened the portal he had drawn casually, carrying a light suitcase.

"Aichi, are you ready?" Shimizu walked through the portal, and was already on the keel's plane at this time, "It seems that you already know where I want to go." ”

Aichi, who was sitting in the cab, nodded: "May told me about this, since Miss Shimizu decided to find another black rider after mentioning the name of the third rider, you must be planning to go to him." Now, Miss Shimizu. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Are you really going to that place? For the keel, it has long been a forbidden place to set foot in. Aichi's face was solemn, she knew where she was going, who she was about to meet.

"Kazuhaya, born Bachelev Hess, a survivor of twelve years ago, is said to be able to kill people with his mind, has an immortal body, is powerful and unmatched, and I always remember these things. But ah, I'm his boss, the supreme commander of the keel, and he's just a black rider of mine. ”

"Even if it'......"

"Aichi, I know what that guy is calculating behind his back, but with his ability, that kind of place can't trap him at all, you should understand, right?" Shimizu sat down, staring at the clouds ahead and the upcoming South Pole, "All we can do is indulge him, as long as he doesn't act so quickly, we have a chance to wait for someone stronger than him to appear, or find a way to deal with him." ”

"Did Miss Shimizu always plan to get rid of the Third Rider?"

"He's too dangerous, and the threat grows with time, six years have passed since he joined the Dragonbone and become the Black Rider, and in those six years I've indulged his actions infinitely, and only in this way can I temporarily restrain him. ”

"Why did Kazuhaya stay in the keel, if it was as rumored that with his strength, he would have been free from such restraints a long time ago, but why didn't he move for a long time?" Aichi wondered.

"His presence was tricky, and at first I didn't know there was such a person, because he was a survivor before me, and it was difficult to find him without some other means. The first time I heard his real name was from a small village in the Middle East, where they said that there was a lot of war, but in recent months I don't know where a brave warrior came from, and he participated in battles in which all the enemies were annihilated and none survived. And no matter how badly wounded the warrior was, he could always be seen in the next battle, so rumors of immortality spread there. Until the war was relatively quiet, the warrior suddenly disappeared without a trace. ”

"Two years later, as the keel began to take shape, my men found a cracked door on an island in the sea, and nuclear creatures continued to pour out of it. It was at that time that a man who claimed to be a god and early appeared on the island, and with the power of one person, he easily killed all the monsters without using obsidian until the power of the connecting gate dried up and closed. Until then, no matter how many monsters rushed out of it, even the obsidian class had died tragically at his hands, and when the door closed, there was already a mountain of corpses on the island, but the man named Kazuaki had not killed any monsters himself. ”

"This is the rumor of murder with intent, right?" Aichi asked.

"Well, this is what my men saw with their own eyes, and after he joined the keel, he once clashed with the second horseman, and the two fought all night on a barren mountain in Kyoto, and the next day there was no winner. ”

"I know about this matter, the strength of the second horse is indeed strong, is it enough to draw with the gods and the early battle?"

"It's not enough, the physical strength and physical functions of the second rider will be exhausted one day, but the gods with immortal bodies are different from Zao. After that battle, the second cavalry was assigned to his area, which was near the United States. ”

"I'd like to meet the third rider who hasn't killed anyone, the gods and Mr. Haya. Aichi picked up the speed of his flight, and soon he was able to see the glaciers of Antarctica, and the cold air began to seep into the cabin from the outside, and when he got out, it was definitely another cooler temperature.

"Ah, it's already minus forty-six degrees outside, Miss Shimizu, you better go and change your clothes, we'll be there soon." ”

"Well, try to be careful when landing. ”

"No problem. ”

The wind was bitter, and there was only one sizable warehouse on the white glacier, where the third rider god and Hayashi lived, and the only branch of the keel in Antarctica.

"Boom-"

The plane slowly docked near the warehouse, the doors opened, and a biting cold wind poured into the cabin.

Aichi shuddered, and suddenly retreated, the conditions here are much more difficult than in the other world, if you live and work in this environment, it is better to return to the other world to fight.

"Miss Shimizu, it's been a long time since I saw you......" The guards wrapped in thick cotton clothes recognized Shimizu Bong at first sight, but their eyes were full of hostility, because she was the one who sent them to work in this ghost place, and almost everyone here regarded her as an enemy, "Look who's coming!"

The warehouse was like a palace, and after passing through two iron gates, a throne made of pure ice was reflected in front of the two of them.

On the throne sat a blue-haired man in a black suit, dressed in a way that was clearly out of place for the climate, but kept his body temperature more normal than the others.

"Oh, a rare face, Bong. The man crossed his legs and looked at Shimizu and Aichi who were standing below, "What? The new Black Rider? That outfit looks like it was left to her by the previous Eighth Rider." ”

"The eighth rider, Aichi Ise, a newcomer who only joined the keel last year, is much less senior than you......"

“…… The gods and early. ”
