When the Industrial Revolution swept the world and the age of steam descended on the earth, a monster called "Kabane" also quietly spread in the world. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info These monsters are infinitely powerful, agile, and extremely aggressive, and those who bite them will die and then be reborn as the same monster.

What's even more terrifying is that this kind of monster will not die as long as its heart is not destroyed, but its heart is covered with a steel membrane, and ordinary weapons cannot penetrate it at all.

Humanity, lacking effective means of response, had no way to curb the spread of Kabane, and soon the whole world was in crisis, including the island nation of the Far East.

In order to counter the threat posed by Kabane, the shogunate that ruled Japan built walled castles called "Eki" in various places and trapped them in order to survive. The only thing that can travel between the posts is the armored steam locomotive (commonly known as Juncheng), and through the integration of their respective products, the post finally ensures life.

The Shoganeki Station is one of Japan's many large and small post houses, which are engaged in the production of iron-making and steam engines. The living thing in the city is the factory used to make the castle and the steam engine. At the same time, this factory is also responsible for the maintenance and maintenance of foreign Juncheng.

This morning, the factory welcomed a new customer.

"Iron City has arrived!" A big man with a beard walked into the factory and shouted, "Everyone is in place!" ”

With his shout, a Juncheng covered in large and small depressions and blood stains slowly drove along the tracks, and finally stopped outside the factory.

"Connect to the review box!" After Juncheng came to a standstill, General Shifang Chuanjian, the lord of the Xianjin Post City who came in a hurry, ordered, "All passengers must be inspected in the review box, and those with scars on their bodies will be confined for three days, this is for the safety of everyone!" ”

With his command, the samurai who belonged to the Xianjin Post stepped forward and instructed the people on Juncheng to enter the review box and check it in turn, while the workers skillfully stepped forward to clean and repair the iron castle, and the factory suddenly had a hot atmosphere.

Everyone's attention in the field was focused on the Iron City, so no one saw that on the roof of the factory, a white horse suddenly appeared, and there was a knight in white sportswear and carrying a big bag on it, it was Lin Yuedong.

"It's really lively......"

After appearing on the roof, Lin Yuedong quickly and carefully glanced around, saw the hot scene below, combined with his own memory, and quickly judged that the location where he appeared was in the factory used to detect the Iron City in the first episode of the animation.

The Juncheng that is being repaired is exactly the same as the Iron City, so the time is naturally at the beginning of the first episode.

…… Ahh

There will be enemies in this mission, so it is natural that there are two strategies to deal with it. The first is to hide yourself in the shadows, relying on the advantage of the enemy's light and my secret to find and sneak attack the enemy. The second is a high-profile appearance, trying to unite all the forces that can be united, and then crushing the enemy with numerical superiority.

Lin Yuedong prefers the second strategy. Because this plan seems to have the risk of being attacked by the enemy, but there is only such a risk, and in general, the risk is controllable and predictable, and it is actually a little safer than hiding in the shadows.

After all, hiding in the shadows means that it is impossible to attack with all your strength, and not being able to do it with all your strength will inevitably turn some threats that are not originally threats into threats, and it is more likely that you will encounter dangers that are not dangerous in unexpected places. Lin Yuedong doesn't like to gamble on probability, he has always pursued to control everything in his own hands, and would rather take known risks than bet on unknown risks.

And right now, it's just the right entry point to implement the second strategy.

He looked at the Iron City. At this moment, the Iron City was in a commotion, and a man wearing only a crotch cloth let out a terrible scream and stumbled out of the carriage. The samurai guarding the door immediately met him and tried to block it, but was pushed to the ground by the man.

A high-pitched shout came from inside the carriage: "(That man) is Kabane!" ”

The samurai next to him also exclaimed, "He has injuries on his body!" ”

The surrounding workers were shocked and immediately scattered and fled. If a person is injured by Kabane, he will become Kabane as soon as possible, or a few days at the latest. If a person has a scar on his body, it is basically not much different from a Kabane.

"Don't let him go!" General Shikata immediately ordered. The surrounding samurai quickly surrounded the man, trapping the man in the center, and all the steam guns in his hands were aimed at him.

"No, I'm not Kabane! Don't kill me! Seeing that there was no way out, the man pleaded bitterly.

"Kill him!" The samurai didn't listen at all, so they wanted to shoot.

It was too late, but it was too late, and a loud cry came from under the carriage of the Iron City.

"Stop!"

The samurai stopped what they were doing and turned back in amazement, and even the Shogun Shikata Kawa over there also looked at him.

I saw a young man wrapped in a white cloth turban, wearing work clothes and glasses, obviously a factory worker, out from under the carriage, with an angry look on his face, and said loudly: "He said that he is not Kabane anymore!" "It's the protagonist of the original work, stunned young children.

"Who would believe it?" As for Ikoma, who is still just an ordinary worker, naturally no one will take it seriously. One of the samurai replied disdainfully, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the man again.

"Stop, coward!" Ikoma ran over and stood in front of the samurai's gun, and said angrily, "Isn't it your rule that anyone who is suspected of being Kabane should observe for three days before making a decision?" ”

This is indeed the rule they have set, and General Shifang Chuan has just announced it loudly, but now they themselves want to break it and shoot the suspect on the spot. I have to say that Ikoma's accusation speaks to their sore spots.

The samurai was speechless, and then became angry: "Shut up! It's not your turn to speak! ”

As he spoke, he slammed the barrel of his gun at the foal, knocking him to the ground. Several other samurai surrounded him, punching and kicking Ikoma.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the man from before hurriedly fled into the distance.

"He ran away!" A samurai swept over and hurriedly shouted.

"Shoot!" The samurai who took the lead in beating people shouted urgently.

Several samurai hurriedly turned back their guns, aimed at the fugitive, and pulled the trigger without hesitation!

Several rounds of lead bullets were propelled by high-pressure steam, shot out of the chamber of the gun, and flew towards the man.

At this moment, a figure appeared in front of the man as if it was teleporting, and with a wave of his right hand in front of him, a cold air spilled out, facing the lead bullet.

"Ping Pong—"

The lead bullet was frozen the moment it came into contact with the cold, lost all forward kinetic energy, and fell to the ground.

"Being annoyed and angry when being told about it, and being scared in the face of threats and losing your mind, is this the cultivation of the samurai of the Sifang Chuan family?"

Lin Yuedong withdrew his right hand and said coldly.

The samurai were immediately stunned, one by one, like clay puppets, unable to understand what had just happened.

When did this man appear there? The action is so fast! I didn't see the trajectory of his actions at all!

And, what is that ice fog that can block out the cold? I've never heard of it, I can't even imagine it! Is that really a human ability?

"Demon ...... Monster? It's a youkai! A samurai took two steps back, guessing with a trembling voice.

"Well, it doesn't seem to be, no ears and no tail." The other samurai also said in fear.

"Who the hell are you?" The samurai who had given the order before was a little braver, and asked boldly.

Lin Yuedong didn't pay attention to these people at all, and just asked in a flat tone: "If you break the rules you have set, it will lead to the dissatisfaction of others, and then shake your own rule." A bunch of idiots, they can't even think of this thing, is it possible that the Sifang Chuan family maintains its rule by force and violence? ”

There was silence.

His words were too sharp, even sharper than Ikoma's questioning, and not only criticized the samurai, but even pointed the finger at the Shikata Kawa family, the leader of the place. In this era when the city lord has the power to kill all his subordinates, there are not many people who dare to speak like this.

Several samurai swallowed, and no one dared to answer. At this time, if you are a little careless, you will offend the Sifang Chuan family, who controls the power of life and death of the whole city.

After a moment of silence, beside Sifang Chuanjian, a woman with a delicate face, wearing a long skirt closer to Hanfu than a kimono, with a long ponytail raised high, and a lady's temperament, said: "That's not the case. The Sifang Chuan family has always been based on benevolence and righteousness, and has never committed tyrannical acts. "But she is the only daughter of the Sifang Chuan Jian, the second female Sifang Sichuan calamus.

He pointed to the man who was already paralyzed in fright behind his back, and asked, "Then how do you explain this?" ”

"That's because it's because you have to be cautious......"

Lin Yuedong interrupted her with a sneer: "It turns out that Xianjinyi's caution is to kill people first, right?" With so many samurai present, they didn't even have the courage to control a suspected Kabane. With your little guts, what else can you deal with, go home and nurse your baby! ”

The white face of the Sifang Chuan calamus flushed, and her lips twitched twice, but she had nothing to say. These samurai indiscriminately wanted to shoot the person who might be Kabane, and in the final analysis, it was because of the extreme fear of Kabane, which was really irrefutable.

Seeing that his favorite only daughter was speechless, General Sifang Chuan snorted very unhappily, and continued: "In a safe place protected by the samurai, it is really unashamed." ”

Lin Yuedong laughed loudly. In the midst of laughter, a cold wind blew from behind him and whistled forward, all the way to the samurai who had just shot them. In the blink of an eye, the cold of the wind froze the entire part of the samurai from the neck down into ice cubes!

"You think I need this waste protection?" He asked rhetorically with a deep sense of irony.

At this time, even the general of the Quartet River has nothing to say. With this superhuman ability, it is up to him to protect others, not others to protect him.

The others even looked at Lin Yuedong with awe-inspiring expressions, as if he was an immortal in the sky.

――To be able to do such a thing that is absolutely beyond the power of man, and to speak up for an ordinary person to fight against the Sifang Chuan family in person, what is this not a god?

Seeing that no one was talking, Lin Yuedong said contemptuously: "Don't have anything to say?" Remember, to maintain your rule, you have to obey your own rules! Otherwise, Hugh blames the officials for forcing the people to rebel! ――What are you doing? Be honest and follow your own rules. Isn't there a wound on this man's body? Then lock it up and observe it for three days, and then talk about it after three days!

"If it turns out that he's not Kabane, all these shooting idiots should kill themselves!"

No one spoke. Two samurai who had not been frozen walked over and dragged the man to the prison, without even asking the general of the Shikata River.

Lin Yuedong looked around the audience, and the people he came into contact with couldn't help but bow their heads, as if they were facing the Sifang Chuan Jian, no, even more awe than when facing the Sifang Chuanjian General!
