Metropolitan Police Department, Thirteenth Detachment.

More than twenty members stood in the office and lined up, the collar of their navy blue windbreakers was up, each holding a long knife, and the scene was filled with a chilling aura of slaughter.

Ahead, Tsukasa Sugita held the long knife at his waist, his long figure stuck there like a sharp sword, and the sharp gaze under the silver-rimmed glasses swept over the faces of every member of the 13th detachment.

"Tonight, our target is Odaiba, Minato, and there will be brothers from the SAT (Special Assault Force) to help control the surrounding scene."

Speaking of this, Sugita paused and said meaningfully, "Here I would like to reiterate that our operation has nothing to do with the recent disappearance, and we have never heard of Sigmund International Trading Company, we have only received reports from the public... There are people who gather to gamble. ”

Grab a bet?

Hearing Tsukasa Sugita's words, the faces of many members suddenly became strange, and it was the first time that they had participated in such a "famous" operation after being in the third investigation group for so long.

At this time, Mai Aragaki suddenly walked over with rushing steps, looked at the people with high morale, and opened her mouth with a strange expression, but she wanted to speak and stopped.

"What's the matter?"

Sugida asked, frowning.

"Report to the captain! I just received news that several roads around Odaiba Seaside Park have been blocked by night traffic control, and it is said that it is a road breakdown and emergency construction, but I checked, and there is no construction team entering at night, and it may be difficult for our car to enter tonight. ”

Hearing Mai Aragaki's report, everyone suddenly looked at each other.

"Whose order?"

Tsukasa Sugita asked bluntly with a cold face.

Mai Aragaki hurriedly said, "I just called my colleagues in the Traffic Enforcement Division, and they said that it was an instruction from above, and it seems that the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism on the cabinet side personally gave it. ”

"Did the cabinet minister order?" A slight glint flashed in Tsukasa Sugita's eyes behind the lenses, "This trading company has a lot of energy.....

Since there is such an internal relationship, even if the people of the 13th team and the SAT forcibly break through the barricade and offend people, the key is probably already startled.

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on this young captain Sugita.

However, Sugita didn't hesitate too much, and immediately said, "Call the Ninth Air Regiment, and say that the 13th Division of the 3rd Investigation Group and the SAT jointly applied for the transfer of four armed helicopters!" ”

Yes?

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and their eyes immediately lit up.

Boy!

The earth is sealed,

We're just going to fly over?!

This is really Captain Sugida!

Sugita Tsukasa pulled out the long knife [Sinsong] from his waist and held it high with one hand and pointed it above his head, his eyes full of intimidating coldness.

"Our sword of justice!"

In the next second, a high-pitched voice suddenly sounded in front of him.

"Unstoppable, no haze!"

......

Half past six in the evening.

Odaiba, Minato-ku, at the entrance of the villa.

Luxury cars were parked in the parking spaces outside the villa, and the people who stepped out of the cars were all dressed beautifully, and their words and deeds were elegant and calm, and there seemed to be men, women, and children.

The only thing in common is that each of them wears a dark gold mask on their faces, and their cheeks above the mouth are all obscured, full of mystery.

Another luxury car stalled and stopped, the door opened, and a white and moving calf arc fell.

When the owner of the pair of high heels stepped on the ground, what jumped into the eyes of the surrounding people was the pink tulle dress fluttering in the wind and the graceful curve of Yingying's hand, the long black shoulder-length hair was fluffy wavy, and the delicate and small mask covered most of the face.

The male companion walking next to her was a delicate man in a casual suit with a silver print, with an indescribable perfume on his body and a mask on his face that made it impossible to see his face.

"Hey, hey! Why is mine a baby raccoon mask? It's not pretty, Matsudaira yours and I'll change it. "After getting out of the car, he didn't have to walk a few steps before Asuka Taidaogawa protested.

The little raccoon is a tanuki in the country of Wano, although there is a saying that the whole body is prosperous to ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters, but in the folklore story is full of "Tie Hanhan" one, Taidaochuan Asuka has not been very satisfied after getting the mask in the car.

Of course, Kotaro Matsudaira refused to change.

His silver fox mask and his silver patterned suit made his whole person look full of the temperament of a noble son of the turbid world that I had seen pity.

go without saying

Tonight will definitely attract boys.

Whoever changes is a fool!

Walking to the door of the villa, Taidaochuan Asuka still wanted to say something, but inadvertently glanced at the waiter wearing a dark golden dragonfly mask at the door, but he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What's wrong?"

Kotaro Matsudaira curious.

"Look at that guy's mask..."Asuka Taitogawa tilted his head and said with a smile as hard as he could, "Doesn't it look like Captain Dragonfly?" ”

"What Captain Dragonfly?" Kotaro Matsudaira wondered.

"It's the Dragonfly Captain in the Iron Armor Robot."

After saying that, Asuka Taitogawa reacted, glanced at Kotaro Matsudaira with disdain, and said, "I almost forgot, as the eldest son of the Matsudaira family, you must not have any childhood, right?" ”

"......" Kotaro Matsudaira.

Do you know that Captain Dragonfly is amazing?

I have a boyfriend, do you have one?

He searched his stomach and tried to go back, but found that the former had already stepped into the gate of the villa with his legs raised, so he had to chase after him.

After Asuka Taitogawa and Kotaro Matsudaira entered the villa, there was still an endless stream of visitors from behind, and there were many visitors from other countries besides Wano who could be seen from their body size and hair color.

Not everyone is well-dressed, and at the end of the convoy, the visitors who get off the last few cars look relatively low-key and plain.

The one walking in front walked slowly with his hands behind his back, not looking like he was attending a lavish dinner, but like going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, which attracted the attention of many people.

However, being able to get an invitation to the dinner party already says it all, and there are no people who don't have a long brain to laugh at and question anything.

......

Kuka. Morey.

Forty-five years old, the captain of the sixth detachment under the commander of the Central Army of the Dawn Revolutionary Army.

Born in a country called Taggo in the west of the mainland, the country is under the control of the Celestial World Government, and most of the people are still in the dilemma of not having enough to eat and hungry, he joined the revolutionary army eleven years ago in order to find the answer to the country's peace and prosperity.

At this time, after handing over the invitation at the door, Kuka walked into the main entrance of the villa with the three revolutionary army soldiers behind him.

In the next second, the scene that jumped into view under the golden light made the three people behind him lose their minds for a moment, and even Kuka couldn't help but pause slightly when he was walking in front.

In the extravagant corridors covered with red carpets, the gold-plated corridor lamps overhead illuminate the sky-blue marble floors all around, making people feel as if they are under the blue sky of the sun.

Along the way, the various colorful paintings on the wall are even more dizzying, which invisibly sets off the luxurious and high-class atmosphere of this banquet.

After a short period of distraction, the revolutionary soldiers in Kuka's left rear seemed to be a little embarrassed by their Hua Ming's flickering gaffe, and couldn't help but lower their voices and scolded:

"Phew! The lackeys of these celestial people in Wano Country! ”

The two warriors next to him came back to their senses and immediately followed.

"That is, to submit to the rule of the Celestials... No matter how good this kind of day is, I am not uncommon. ”

"Hehe, tonight is going to teach the people of Wano Country a lesson."

Kuka quietly listened to the righteous words of the three revolutionary army soldiers behind him, squinted at everything in front of him, and after a long time in the revolutionary army, he also had his own subtle views on some things.

To be honest, when he arrived the day before yesterday, he was amazed by the peaceful people walking on the streets of Shintokyo, and the peaceful atmosphere everywhere, because all the countries that had succumbed to the rule of the Celestial Men in the propaganda of the Dawn Revolutionary Army were living in dire straits.

He was silent for a moment, then reminded:

"Cheer up, wait a minute, survey the terrain first, and don't forget our mission."

"Yes! Captain Kuka! ”

......

In the villa.

At the end of the corridor is the dinner hall.

The glow of the crystal lamps enveloped the hall into a warm embrace, accompanied by the majestic symphony of "The Gods Enter Valhalla".

After stepping into the spacious hall, many visitors unconsciously cheered up and looked around, looking forward to today's dinner and the content after the dinner.

......

After a while, everyone sat down under the arrangement of the waiters, and the melodious sound of the violin sounded.

No one greeted each other, no one came out to be polite, and one after another the delicacies that had already been cooked were brought up from the back kitchen.

Most of the visitors seated at the same table did not know each other, and in the past they might have been awkwardly silent with wariness of strangers.

But tonight, through a thin mask, you don't know what I look like, and I don't know what your identity is, but it's easy for everyone to find a topic and talk about Sheng Huan surprisingly.

In the blink of an eye, many tables were filled with joyful laughter.

......

Between the tables in the dinner hall, Higashinohara walked back and forth with a tray.

He went wherever he needed to, but his eyes kept looking around the villa, and finally his eyes fell on the marble escalator that led to the second floor.

He probably walked around all the corners of the first floor tonight, and he didn't find a place to hide people, if the disappearance of Nishimaru Miri was really related to this villa, then there was a high probability that he hadn't had a chance to go up to the second or third floor to investigate.

Thinking of this, Higashinohara retracted his gaze and continued to be a quiet waiter.

He knew very well that if Nishimaru Miri was really trapped here, then his biggest reliance to save her was the "mission buff" of 50 free attribute points.

What does it feel like to increase one of your attributes by 50 points all at once? Of course, Higashinohara, which is 0.1+↑ on weekdays, has not experienced it.

But every time he exercised in the past two days, the 0.1 attribute point increase made him feel that his body was significantly stronger and lighter.

Then it is not difficult to imagine that adding five hundred times more terrifying attributes to [Agility], [Strength], [Constitution] and any other attributes will definitely bring an increase that is beyond his expectations.

The problem is that this "mission buff" is only 30 minutes, which is about the same as "five seconds of real man", so if Higashinohara wants to save people, he must quickly and ruthlessly seize the right time.

Now, it's not the time.

......

In the melodious violin, this "musical dinner" soon came to an end.

The guests stopped eating and talking and sat quietly, patiently waiting for what would happen after the dinner, and the waiters like Higashinohara were called to the dressing room of the villa.

A man with a strong figure and a leopard print mask on his face is settling their salaries for tonight, not by name, but directly in line.

In fact, they didn't even register their names during the afternoon training, and the organizers didn't know whether they trusted them too much, or trusted their own strength too much, and no one dared to cheat.

From three o'clock to eight o'clock, 50,000 yen for five hours, which is almost equivalent to half a month's salary for a part-time job at a convenience store, and the dozen or so waiters who got the money were very satisfied.

"That's it! My dear friends, change your clothes and leave,"

The man in the leopard print mask chuckled, turned and left, looking like he had something else to do.

As soon as the steward left, the atmosphere in the locker room became lively.

"Tsk! The hourly wage was so high, I thought it was very demanding, but it didn't seem like much. ”

"That's right, I just wanted to clean up the dining table, but I didn't expect this cheetah-headed supervisor to call us all over and pay our salaries and leave, and I will have more part-time jobs like this in the future."

"Hahaha, you think beautifully, haven't you seen those cars outside tonight, many of them are limited editions, and you don't see as many as you did tonight in ten years."

"Shhhhh That's right, eh! You said.... These rich people don't leave after eating, what are they going to do next? ”

"Who can say anything about your circle, but... It's not going to be X's messing around, hehe..."

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Higashinohara couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes when he heard the small talk between the two boys, but he still lowered his head and slowly arranged his clothes, looking not in a hurry at all.

......

Ten minutes later, the part-time workers left the locker room one after another, and Higashinohara listened to the movement in the hall outside, quietly changed into his usual clothes, and put on the dark gold dragonfly mask again.

He made a detour out of the dressing room, and naturally walked from the direction of the bathroom to a table in the hall, and then pulled out the extra empty seat and sat down.

Sensing the movement, the eyes of the other seven masked visitors suddenly fell on Higashinohara, who was wearing a dragonfly mask, and looked this uninvited guest up and down.

After a while, some people groaned, some people smiled at the corners of their mouths, and they all chose to hang high on their own business.

After all, no matter what the identity of Higashinohara who suddenly appeared at this table was, as guests attending this mysterious dinner for the first time, they had no reason to put their beaks in their beaks.

As for the host of the banquet ...

I'm afraid no one would have thought that such an inconsequential little role as a temporary waiter would actually transform into a guest and sit on the table after receiving the salary.

Not long after the scene of Higashinohara taking his seat, the door of the villa was suddenly closed by two stout men in black suits.

Immediately, they crossed their hands in front of them, and the door stood from side to side, and everyone was attracted to attention and felt at the same time.

The drama is about to begin...

Sure enough, a man in a white lab coat and a fox mask on his face walked up and said in a hoarse and magnetic voice.

"Welcome, good evening."

"Then the next step is the [exhibition] that we have carefully prepared for each guest."

As the words fell, the golden wall behind the man in the fox mask suddenly changed color, and then parted to the sides, and an elevator leading to the underground appeared.

......

It turned out to be a basement.

At the dinner table, Higashinohara withdrew his gaze from the escalator leading to the second floor.

Many of the first-time guests to the dinner had the word "exhibition" in their mouths and thoughtful expressions on their faces.

Subsequently, everyone took the elevator to the second basement floor in batches.

Higashinohara's table is the fourth batch.

After getting out of the elevator, he found that there was a hole in the ground of this villa, the lights illuminated the underground as if it were day, and the space was also very spacious, with a stage and a red curtain in front of it.

"Say it's an exhibition? What about the exhibits? ”

"Tsk, are you still playing mystery?"

"It's all here, let's see what tricks they play."

“......”

Many dignitaries with respected status are patient and waiting for the organizer's next move.

However, at some point, a rare middle-aged man without a mask appeared on the stage, he was short and fat, and his appearance and temperament were very similar to those of a common business manager in the workplace.

"Ahem... Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, I am Masaten Kusao, the president of Sigmund International Trade in New Tokyo, and many people may not know me. ”

Speaking of this, the man who called himself Kusao Masaten paused, and said with a smile full of charity and peace, "So... Some of you may have heard of another name of mine, which used to be called by many people in New Tokyo - Rattlesnake. ”

The moment the last three words of the man's words fell, the crowd on the second basement floor suddenly fell silent, and it was almost audible that the pins fell.

Then there was a commotion.

"Huh? Have you ever heard the name? ”

"Shhhhh Rattlesnake? Couldn't it be the trafficker tycoon of the underground black market in New Tokyo ten years ago? ”

"I heard that he was a sixth-order superpower back then, and his talent was the high-risk ability [Rattlesnake] of Sequence 35, and he controlled all human trafficking activities in Tokyo, and the Metropolitan Police Department once dispatched a large number of police forces but failed to catch him."

"I remember the news report that in the end, the 'King Kongo' of the Third Investigation Group, Tokugawa Kuritora, came out to arrest him with his own hands, and he was sentenced to life imprisonment during the court trial."

"Life imprisonment? So how did he end up here? ”

“......”

Hearing the discussion and surprise of everyone in front of him, Kusao Masaten showed a satisfied smile on his face, clapped his hands and said with a smile:

"Now that everyone recognizes me, you can rest assured about the professionalism of our exhibition tonight, and then I will bring you our No. 001 [exhibits]."

As the words fell, the stage next to him suddenly made a "click" sound, and a huge square covered with black cloth rose from under the stage into everyone's eyes.

Seeing this scene, in connection with the former identity of Masao Draft, many people present had a vague guess in their hearts, but no one proposed to leave.

In fact, as the elite of various countries in the world, I have never seen any exhibitions on weekdays.

After receiving this mysterious invitation, they traveled thousands of miles to the country of Wano, and I am afraid that only this scene in front of them can arouse the anticipation in their hearts.

Of course, not everyone is like that.

In the crowd, Asuka Taitogawa, who was wearing a little raccoon mask, stomped on the upper of Kotaro Matsudaira next to him, and said through gritted teeth:

"What surprise? That's what you call an after-dinner surprise? ”

Kotaro Matsudaira suddenly bared his teeth.

But others were also a little confused, scolding their friend in their hearts for being unreliable, and not saying anything in advance if there was such prohibited content after the dinner, and quickly clearing up the relationship in their mouths, they were definitely not that kind of person.

Just when the crowd was in a commotion, the elevator on the stage stopped, and the huge iron cage covered by a black cloth stopped steadily on the stage.

On the stage, Kusao Masaten didn't sell anything, and raised his hand with a smile to uncover the black cloth, and the first thing that caught everyone's eye was a huge iron cage, and the transparent life support cabin in the iron cage was horizontally swinging.

There was a five- or six-year-old blonde girl lying in the life support cabin, her delicate little face was as pale as paper, her eyes were closed, she was wearing a collar around her neck, and her body was full of dozens of infusion needles and medical instruments.

The little girl's body seemed to be undergoing some unknown changes, even the pale little face in the coma flashed painful struggles from time to time, and I don't know what kind of nightmare she was experiencing.

On the monitor screen, the extremely erratic heart rate and other bodily functions are monitored silently - the girl's current physical condition is not optimistic.

In the crowd, Higashinohara, who was wearing a dragonfly mask, suddenly clenched his pupils unconsciously like pins and needles when he saw the little girl, and then slowly took a deep breath.

As for the magnates of various countries standing here, many people are puzzled at this time.

A seriously ill little girl?

Is it worth waiting so long for them to suppress their curiosity?

Someone in front of the crowd just wanted to open his mouth to question, but Kusao Masaten smiled at him, and his eyes turned to everyone again, and the voice spread to every corner of the second basement floor.

"Here's what I would like to introduce to you:

Today's No. 001 [exhibit] is likely to become the world's extremely rare compatibility of dual innate abilities, the former is the spiritual ability of talent sequence 28 [Di Ting], and the latter is the talent sequence 45 power system ability [Wang Yu], I believe everyone can also see that it is obvious that No. 001 has passed the life and death hurdle of "compatibility" that countless capable people still dream of. ”

Dual-gifted abilities?

Everyone in the audience suddenly buzzed and discussed.

Coming here, there was no one who didn't understand the meaning of the dual natural ability, and the face under the mask was full of wordless shock.

On the stage, Kusao Masaten looked at the sensational effect created by the opening of the exhibition with a very satisfied face, and then he shrugged his shoulders again, pressed his hands down and waited until the scene was quiet, and then said in a very frank tone:

"Of course, I have to warn everyone... Our No. 001 [exhibit] is only a [semi-finished product] at present, and the premise of success is that she can wake up and stabilize in the collision of the two abilities in her body with congenital heart disease. ”

"So now...

Pre-sale of our [exhibits] begins.

starting price,

Well... ¥100. ”

......
