Chapter 24: Return to TPC
When Xia Long returned to his residence in Tokyo, it was already dark.
"Akiyama's mother-in-law?" In the living room, seeing the old man lying on the sofa and falling asleep, Xia Long snorted softly.
"Ah, is Longjun back?" The old man rubbed his eyes and said with a smile, "As people get older, they become more and more sleepy...... Oh, you haven't eaten yet, I'll ...... it."
Holding the old man who stood up tremblingly, Xia Long shook his head and said, "Don't bother, I've already eaten, that ......"
"How?" The old man saw that Xia Long looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and asked suspiciously, "Did something happen?" ”
"It's nothing," Xia Long said after a pause, "It's just that I might have to leave tomorrow." ”
"Really?" The old man's face darkened, and then he smiled, "That's fine, your captain has always complained to me during this time, hoping that you can go back soon, I think, it's probably time." ”
"Captain?" Xia Long was slightly stunned.
"Long Jun doesn't know yet," the old man laughed, "Your captain often asks me about you in private. ”
"In that case, it seems that TPC has been going on a lot lately." Xia Long smiled slightly when he heard this.
Monsters appear frequently, and it's no wonder that there aren't many things......
Bedroom cubicle.
Xia Long lay heavily on his back on the bed.
"Whew~" Carefully looking at the monster capsule, Xia Long frowned, "001, what's going on with this thing?" ”
There was no movement.
“001?” Xia Long tried to call out, but when he couldn't get a response, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Although Gorzan is a rare help for him now, it is ......
So far, the sin on this monster's body is really difficult for him to let go, not to mention the previous one, the casualties caused this time are not small.
Thinking of the crying little girl, Xia Long clenched the capsule tightly.
He had chosen as far away as he could, but in the end an uncontrollable accident occurred.
"Gorzan......" Xia Long hesitated for a moment and put the capsule away.
Anyway, until he has the ability to save the world, he can't do without Gorzan for the time being.
As for those sins......
Glancing at the photos on the table, Xia Long closed his eyes tiredly.
"I see, I'll atone for my sins."
A deep sleepiness struck, and Xia Long fell into a deep sleep.
"This world will not be destroyed...... Under the moonlight, Xia Long's brows were furrowed, as if he was dreaming, and muttered out in his mouth.
"Master, I believe that you will succeed," a sigh echoed in the bedroom out of thin air, and the light on Xia Long's wrist flickered, and a strange phantom of bracers appeared, "Light! ”
The soft white light spread out in the shadow, overflowing with brilliance, and slowly dragged Xia Long to float.
"Wow-" Bands of light poked out and enveloped Xia Long, forming a huge cocoon of light, mysterious and beautiful, and the atmosphere of eternity was permeated.
……
"Mother-in-law Asama, are you feeling better?"
In the morning, Xia Long was woken up by a wave of greetings.
"Hmm~" Rubbing his eyes, Xia Long squinted and looked out, and found that it was already dawning, and in front of the convenience store opposite, an old woman was smiling and chatting with the clerk.
"Is it already this time?" Shaking it and still a little dizzy, Xia Long wondered.
I didn't expect to sleep so deeply this time, and my body was sticky.
"What is this?" Smelling the body that emitted a strange smell, Xia Long was slightly stunned.
"Ryu-kun," Akiyama called out outside the door, "I've prepared everything for you, and breakfast is on the table." ”
"Okay!"
After taking a hot shower, Xia Long changed into clean clothes and walked out of the room.
"Granny Akiyama," after breakfast, Xia Long carried his luggage and smiled at the old man who saw him off, "I will come here when I have time, you should pay more attention to your body." ”
"It's you who should be careful," the old man admonished, "I know the TPC thing, it's too dangerous, you must be more careful." ”
"Goodbye." With a wave of his hand, Xia Long turned and walked towards the morning sun light.
I just don't know when the next time will be.
Passing by the place where he lived during this time, Xia Long felt a lot of emotion.
Although it was only a few weeks, this peaceful life really brought him a lot.
"Are you leaving?" Kirino's voice sounded in Xia Long's ears.
"Hmm," without the slightest surprise, Xia Long replied, "Is there any news about Masaki Keigo?" ”
"Not yet, don't worry, I'll let you know when I say it, I'll let you know when there's a result," Kirino paused and continued, "There's one thing, I don't know if you're interested. ”
"Huh?" Xia Long paused.
"There's going to be a not-so-friendly guy this week, and I think it's a big problem for you at TPC."
"Problem?" Xia Long was stunned, shook his head and said, "No matter what, you have to face it." ”
"Face ......" Kirino was silent for a while before continuing, "Pay attention to yourself, I'm looking forward to meeting next time." ”
"Seriously, you could have saved a lot of people." Feeling the looseness in the other party's words, Xia Long persuaded.
"If my abilities are discovered," Kirino said in a low voice, "what do you guess will be?" ”
Xia Long's words froze, Kirino's superpowers, telepathy, and foresight are too attractive to humans......
……
TPC Headquarters.
Xia Long had just finished reporting when he was called aside by the captain.
"Long, these days are urgently reorganized, we are temporarily working on the rescue logistics," handed Xia Long a document, and the captain explained, "You first arrange to follow the victory team members here......
Looking at Xia Long, who was speechless, the captain asked: "No problem, the combat department you mentioned last time also needs some front-line experience, and if you follow the victory team, you should accumulate better." ”
"Ah, that's good." Xia Long came back to his senses and was able to go out with the victory team, that is, to face the monster directly, although he was only responsible for logistics, he was much more free than the orders and prohibitions of the War Department.
On duty that day, Xia Long obviously found that the armed forces of the TPC were much stronger, and in the past, departments like them would not be equipped with firearms, but now some powerful weapons were necessary.
Shooting training room.
"Bang bang!!" A powerful voice sounded, and Xia Long slowly lowered the muzzle of the gun.
"All hit the bull's-eye!" An exclamation sounded, "Senior, you are too powerful!" ”
"It's all said, I've only joined for a short time, so you don't need to call me senior." Glancing helplessly at the young man beside him, Xia Long began to reload.
The boy's name is Hirohara, and he is one of the new members, and just like Nakamura took him before, the captain also handed over this newcomer to him.
"It's really strange," Hirohara wondered, "If the senior's marksmanship is so good, why didn't he go to the War Department in the first place?" ”
"What's the use of good marksmanship?" Xia Long didn't bother to correct the question of the boy's title, and after a series of laser shots, he shook his head and said, "Besides, when I came, there weren't so many monsters infested, don't you think it's more meaningful to save people?" ”
Putting away his firearms, Xia Long took a pair of white gloves and walked out.
His mind went back to when he had been on Kurajima.
