A week later......

At dusk, under the crimson sky, the square-faced, rough-faced criminal police chief of the homicide department brought his thick-haired face up to scare the two frail and slender teenagers.

"What? Are you a 'civilian policeman' who has come to our aid? Don't lie. Aren't you just a little ghost! ”

Facing the powerful face in front of him, Rentaro floated his godless eyes upwards and absentmindedly looked at the homecoming crows that were babbling. He wanted to go home very much now, and Leng Aotian never went to see the policeman.

Rentaro vaguely ran away from the detective and muttered, "Even if you say that, I can't help it." My companion and I were the police officers who came to support. I had a pistol with me, and I had a permit. I received an order from the president, so I came here reluctantly. If you doubt it, we'll go back. ”

The criminal policeman snorted, squinted his eyes for a while, and then circled around Lotus and Leng Aotian.

"Look at this uniform, are you still a student?"

Rentaro looked down at his uniform. This is the same as the pure black uniform, and the Hooka High School badge is embroidered on the chest.

"Can't you......"

"Then is the delinquent boy next to you also a student?

Leng Aotian wears the same uniform as Rentaro, but Leng Aotian's hair is white except for a small part of the front, the rest is white, and there is a black tattoo on the back of his right hand, and the uniform is not buttoned to reveal a white shirt, as if he is saying that I am a bad boy all the time.

Leng Aotian heard the four words of the bad boy and said in a mocking tone: "I'm really sorry, I'm also a student as a bad boy." ”

"Cut, have you even been playing police tricks lately? …… Get your licenses out. ”

Both Rentaro and Leng Aotian handed over the permits. The detective compared the photo attached to it with Rentaro's face.

"My name is Tadajima." After briefly reporting his name, the detective threw the permit back to Leng Aotian and Rentaro.

"Tiantong Civil Security Company, I haven't heard of this name."

"That's because we're not famous. Let's talk about work quickly. ”

Leng Aotian raised his head and looked up at the old apartment standing in front of him. Although cracks, dirt, corrosion and breakage are obvious, a very ordinary six-storey apartment with "grandtanoka" written on it.

Rentaro asked Tadajima, "Is there really an incident here?" ”

"That's right. Due to the blood leaking from upstairs, the people in room 102 screamed and called. If you combine all the information, you can't go wrong, it's Gastrea. Alright, let's get inside. Oops, finally got a job. ”

Tadajima deliberately said the word "finally" out loud and walked into the building.

The confrontation between the police and the police did not start today, but when it came to this, Rentaro's reaction was not so much anger as confusion. Rentaro stood in front of the building for a while, and really wanted to go home, but he reluctantly followed.

Shortly after the defeat, the law provided for the inadmissibility of an incident involving Gastrea without the presence of a civilian security company, abbreviated as the civilian police. Although this is a measure aimed at minimizing the mortality rate of police officers who do not know the heights, no police officer will amicably accept the swaggering interference of civilian police officers in their field.

At this time, Officer Tadajima may have sensed something, and suddenly leaned his rugged face over.

"What's wrong with your partner Initiator? Aren't the combatants of your civilian police basically fighting in groups of two? ”

"Ah, I don't think I need her to help."

Although Rentaro was shocked in his heart, he couldn't tell the other party that he had left his partner alone.

Thinking that this was really inappropriate, Rentaro scratched his head and looked back at the road he had walked from the window.

Rentaro remembers that after receiving a notification from the president of the company that there was an incident related to Gastrea in the vicinity, he rarely concentrated on pedaling the pedals of his bicycle so as not to let other companies take away his job.

It must have left the partner behind at that time. Hopefully she won't get lost.

Leng Aotian replied very simply: "I don't have a starter. ”

Climbed to room 202 at the scene of the crime, and at this time there were already a large number of police officers guarding the door.

"Has anything changed?"

Hearing Tadajima's words, one of the officers in the police officer team turned his head with a pale face.

"Yes, I'm sorry. Just now, two special forces men rushed inside through the window by draping down. After that, contact was lost. ”

The air at the scene immediately froze.

"Idiot! Why not wait for the police to arrive. ”

"We don't want them to take credit away from them who destroy the scene as if no one else was around! Director, you can understand our feelings, don't you? ”

"What does that matter with that kind of thing! Compared to this—"

"--Fools, get out of the way! I'm going to rush in! ”

Tadajima stared at Rentaro's pupils for a moment, then cocked his chin and ordered. Two heavily armed police officers standing in the rear were assigned to stand in front of the door, holding the shortened broken door they were carrying on their hinges with shotguns.

Rentaro pulls a pistol, the Springfield XD, from his belt, and pulls the sleeve open to make it fireable.

The sword in Leng Aotian's left hand trembled slightly

"-Give it to me!"

Two shotguns erupt in flames, and Rentaro kicks in the door at about the same time.

The afterglow of the sunset that greeted his eyes made Leng Aotian squint his eyes for a moment.

As if emerging from the sunset, the six-tatami mat-sized room was dyed crimson. However, something far redder than sunset red was scattered all over the floor of the living room. This was followed by the unconcealable smell of blood. The two officers were smashed against the wall and were apparently dead.

Then Leng Aotian saw a tall man standing in the center of the room, the man was about 190cm tall, his hands, feet and body were very slender, wearing a burgundy tuxedo with thin stripes, a high hat on his head and a mask for the ball, he was a strange stranger.

The masked man immediately turned his head and looked over the side with a sneer. The sharp gaze shot from the depths of the mask to Leng Aotian, and in an instant, Leng Aotian sensed the danger, and his right hand was already on the hilt of the sword, ready for something to happen.

The masked man spoke.

"Policeman, you're really late."

"Are you...... Who? Is it a peer? ”

The other party appeared here, and Rentaro subconsciously thought that the other party was also a police officer.

"I'm really also tracking down the source of the infection, Gastrea. Yet I am not your peer. That's because—"

The man pretended to open his hands.

"--I was the one who killed these two policemen."

The moment he understood that the other party was an enemy, Rentaro's body reacted immediately. He closed the distance between the two in an instant, and threw a punch upwards without saying a word.

"Oh, that's pretty capable."

After the masked man happily dodged the blow, Rentaro immediately felt a pounding in his chest. The punch that was buried in his chest knocked Rentaro flying and slammed into the glass table in the living room—leaving him breathless.

The pain made Rentaro's face crooked, and he opened one eye, only to see the masked man at very close range raise his fist.

Rentaro hurriedly rolled off the glass table. Then, with a violent shattering sound, the glass table was smashed to pieces. Rentaro jumped to his feet, but as if the evasive position had been predicted, a roundhouse kick flew towards his side head.

Just when the masked man was about to kick Rentaro, Leng Aotian moved, and the pitch-black long sword instantly came out of its sheath and slashed at the masked man.

Seeing that the long sword was about to slash at the masked man, the masked man's foot was incredibly retracted and kicked away Leng Aotian's attack.

Leng Aotian immediately put the long sword in front of him, and Lotus Taro was already in a posture ready to attack.
