She pulls out a display gauge.

Because the walls of the IPO branch base are made of special metals that can shield spiritual signals, the direction can be determined by using the corresponding detection instruments.

Didi~

The gauge flashed twice, revealing the location of the branch base.

"Found it."

She stepped along.

The moment she passed through the revolving door at the entrance of the building, Scarlett's body instantly disappeared into darkness.

……

Inside the IPO base.

Today, Musashino and Director Suzuki are on duty, and the rest of the team members have gone to assist in the maintenance of the facilities in the survival area.

Kogoro Suzuki was sitting in front of the computer, typing frantically.

Cracking sound~

The sound of keyboard tapping echoed throughout the room.

"Captain, what are you writing about?"

Suzuki took off his wig cover and kept stroking his bald head:

"Don't mention it.

"There were so many things in the survival area last week that we forgot to write the routine report that we should have submitted to headquarters, and now we are rushing to work."

The Wasteland Tide in Tokyo is such a critical event that we must tell the headquarters.

Grunt~

Musashino took a sip of coffee:

"That ......"

Suzuki turned around, is this kid going to help me with some work?

"Then keep busy."

Musashino continued to play Ren Jido's latest "Wasteland Pet Capture 2.0" without raising his head.

Suzuki shook his head:

"Whew~"

Soon, the base continued to sound the high-speed tapping of the keyboard.

No way, since Musashino confirmed that he was the "real strength" of the 4th order, his status in the IPO division and even in the survival zone is not what it used to be.

That's a pillar!

The treasure of the IPO division!

Holding it in the palm of your hand for fear of breaking, holding it in your mouth for fear of melting.

Suzuki now even sometimes comes up with strange thoughts:

Set up a table for this kid and offer it directly!

After all, in a small place like the IPO branch, it is too difficult to keep a 4th place, but fortunately, Musashino said that he is good here.

Just as Suzuki was about to wrap up his report, he suddenly noticed:

The light seemed to be a little darker.

The computer screen was also covered with a layer of gray color, and the typed words were no longer clear.

"Huh?"

He quickly stopped and rubbed his eyes.

Suzuki Sensation:

Maybe it's because I've been staying up late late, which has caused a chain reaction caused by overwork in my body.

But he closed his eyes and rested for a while.

Still not alleviated.

Everything in front of me is still blurry.

Even if I did eye exercises again, it was still the same.

Suzuki's eyes narrowed.

Due to his extraordinary ability to emit various functional lines of sight from his eyes, his naked eye is very developed, and his vision is of course very sensitive.

Soon, he narrowed his eyes:

"There seems to be a bunch of black particles in the air......"

It looks like tiny droplets of ink.

These black grains are the root cause of their blurred vision.

"What is this?"

Suzuki wanted to ask Musashino if he had noticed, after all, his strength was much stronger than his own, and when he looked back, he found that he had already put down the game console and stared into the air.

"Musashi, did you see that too?"

Musashino nodded.

He can sense:

In Kiyose Fujimi Hospital, an extremely powerful aura suddenly appeared.

This is definitely not comparable to those wasteland power leaders in Tokyo, far more than the 5th order, among the people who have come into contact with Musashino......

can be ranked in the top three.

Although it can't be compared with the woman who "goes to the peak" and plays the shamisen.

But already strong.

"Whose ...... is this?"

Musashino frowned.

The other party seems to be good at stealth, so there is no way to tell if they are transcendent beings or wasteland creatures.

And the hidden orientation is not very easy to lock.

This guy ......

It seems to be scurrying back and forth in all the corners of the building, moving at such a high speed that it feels like TA is everywhere.

Musashino reacted immediately:

"Assassins?"

Concealment, combined with a peculiar way of locomotion, is typical of an Assassin.

Director Suzuki was disgusted by the black particles and quickly waved his hand to fan them away.

Whoop -

It doesn't matter if he doesn't move.

As soon as the hand was swung out, the black particles quickly expanded, and puddles of black ink stains appeared in the air inside the base.

They are connected in patches.

Inside the base, a huge black curtain was shrouded in an instant.

"Who?!"

Director Suzuki hurriedly fumbled and found the power button for the light.

But no matter how much you press, the base is still pitch black.

"Captain, don't press it."

Musashino stopped him:

"It's a supernatural ability, or a wasteland technique.

"So even if you blow up the lights on the spot, you won't be able to shine a little light."

Suzuki hurriedly asked:

"That'...... What is this ability used for? ”

Musashino explains:

"Shield.

"Blocking the information channel between you and the outside world, whether it is light, sound, or even signal frequency, there is no way to get out of this black curtain."

Suzuki retreated to his side:

"Shielding?

"What is that purpose......

Musashino smiled:

"Captain~ Think about it, if you want to kill a chicken, will you dislike it crowing too loudly?"

"Huh?"

Because he was too nervous, Kogoro Suzuki's brain reaction speed slowed down.

He still didn't understand.

"I mean, you're the chicken."

“he， tui~

"You kid is!"

Only then did he understand:

The other party is an assassin!

The assassin who slipped into the base of the IPO branch, the target was definitely Musashino and his captain.

Grunt~

Suzuki swallowed nervously.

What kind of strength is this assassin, at least this strange layer of darkness gives him a powerful sense of oppression that is difficult to breathe.

Whew-

Suzuki takes a deep breath to relax.

Then return to calm and analyze carefully:

"It should be that some time ago, the identity of your god envoy friend and the strength of the 4th order were exposed.

"That's why the Wasteland has sent Assassins."

Knotty!

Since the enemy dared to come on the premise of knowing the true strength of this kid, he even went directly to the IPO branch base to do it......

Must be 100% sure!

Could it be the Tier 5 Wasteland, the leader of a certain Wasteland force?

Suzuki asks:

"Your messenger friend is still here, can you ask him to help?"

Musashino replied casually:

"It's been a long time ago."

Well?

Suzuki suddenly noticed that Musashino spoke in a relaxed tone, without any nervousness.

Musashino certainly won't be nervous.

If the other party doesn't do it, it's okay, maybe he won't be able to figure out the details for a while.

But as soon as this shady curtain unfolded......

Scarlett's strength was instantly revealed.

Musashino directly sensed her strength:

Tier 6.

It is indeed very powerful, a demigod in the transcendent realm and a king in the wasteland.

But well......

Rank 6, which is completely within the scope of what he can solve.

Although the opponent's ability to hide and move at maximum speed is a bit troublesome, there are still many ways to deal with it:

Like what:

Although the Assassin is flexible, in order to successfully complete the assassination, he must also be within a certain range of the target.

The one who came was the 6th order.

To succeed, the range of activities of the TA will not exceed Kiyose Town.

Even if it's hard to lock the position.

But......

I just need to bomb Kiyose Town, won't this guy have nowhere to hide?
