Chapter Twenty-Eight: Shadow-like Fellows! (New Week Ticket Request)
The scene in front of me changed for a moment, and the scene in the classroom disappeared.
By the time he looked closely, Higashinohara was already in the middle of a dry landscape-style courtyard with rocks, flowers, and trees, which looked quite Zen.
It was raining heavily.
The upturned eaves of the longhouse are hung with beaded curtains.
Higashinohara felt like he was soaking wet all over his body at this time, and suddenly, the startled deer in the courtyard pond collided with each other in the heavy rain, and a crisp sound came from his ears.
At this moment, "Higashinohara" moved, and two small knives appeared in his hands at some point.
"He" moved with the knife, his body was as flexible and light as a flying swallow, but the small knife in his hand swept the entire courtyard like a pale thunderbolt flashing in the heavy rain, and the roll of beaded curtains hanging under the eaves of the long house was lifted by the sharp knife light in a blink of an eye.
Ahh
Higashinohara couldn't help but take a breath.
He only got the reward of Xiao Taidao's double sword flow swordsmanship last night, but he is still a beginner 0/10 and has never practiced it once, but at this time, he has a kind of illusion in his heart like a grandmaster who has been immersed in Xiao Taidao's two sword flow for many years.
Soon, Higashinohara came to his senses.
He should be like the last time he clicked on the character painting of Xia Li, a half-breed girl of the Heavenly Tiger Clan, and immersed his mind and consciousness into the other party's body, so that he had the illusion of empathy.
Wait a minute!
Higashinohara suddenly thought of something.
He has just started the second knife of the small Taidao and does not have a famous teacher to guide him at the key points, so his proficiency will improve relatively slowly, and he may still get stuck at a certain joint point.
But if you're practicing at Masaki Kusao... Immerse yourself in his body? I'm afraid that no famous teacher can empathize with such a "combined" teaching, right?
Do what you think.
Higashinohara stopped thinking nonsense next, and quickly settled down in his thoughts, carefully following the tempering of Kusao Masaten, constantly chewing and savoring every detail.
About thirty minutes later, Higashinohara, who felt a little dizzy, withdrew from the character image of Masato Kusao, and it seemed that his current level was still too reluctant to keep up with the rhythm.
After relieving himself a little, Higashinohara glanced at the state of the small Taidao two knife flow in the skill bar of his attribute panel, and sure enough, it was still a junior 0/10.
Does it work?
He didn't believe in evil a little, so he immediately used [Spiritual Healing] to ease his state, and once again entered the character image of Masaki Kusao.
This time, the picture in front of him was under the scorching sun, the cicadas around him were constantly chirping, and in the steamer-like courtyard, "he" was sweating profusely, but the two small knives in his hand made the whole courtyard flash with dazzling bright spots of light between the rabbits and the falcons.
Speaking of which, although the guy with Kusao Masaten committed a great crime, he didn't expect that his daily practice was quite hard, and he was still tempering his kendo cultivation day after day despite the severe cold and heat.
Hmm, maybe it's a lot of pressure to be mixed in the celestial-dominated Sigmund Company as an "alien" human being, so he is so desperate to improve his strength and value, right?
He didn't think too much about it, and calmed down and continued to experience the mystery of that kind of swordsmanship, after all, the light and convenient Xiao Taidao was now the most suitable weapon for him.
This time, Higashinohara persisted for an hour before he quit the character image drawing, his head was buzzing, and his spirit was extremely exhausted, like staying up two or three all-nighters.
It's too much stamina...
Higashinohara took a breath and used the [Spiritual Healing] to ease it again.
I don't know if it's because the interval between the two is too short, and the effect of [Spiritual Healing] this time is not so obvious.
But in the next second, when he saw that the [Elementary 0/10] behind the second sword of the little Taidao in the skill column had become [Elementary 1/10], Higashinohara couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
It turns out that you can really "practice swords in the skull"?
However, he is now extremely tired, and it is estimated that the effect in the image section of Masaki Grass Tail will not be as obvious as before, which is half the effort.
After thinking about it, Higashinohara saw that there was still Germain next to him. Hansu didn't open it, remembering that this was the doctor in a white lab gown he had seen, so he clicked in with the idea of temporarily relaxing.
After reading it for about ten minutes, Higashinohara was in a kind of "I can't understand it, but I was shocked", and it took a long time to come back to his senses and read everything he had just seen.
It turned out that Germain. Hansu is a distant relative of the Batt family of the Tianhu clan, one of the "Nine Masters of Heaven and Man" in the capital area of Shangjing. After Han Su was born, he did not have a father and his mother's surname, and the Bart family controlled almost 70% of the world's financial lifeline.
In order to get in touch with his clan and return to Beijing, he took the initiative to go undercover at the Sigmund International Trading Company controlled by Councilor Hope nine years ago.
As a result, I didn't expect that three years later, the senior management of Sigmund actually sent him to the new Tokyo branch of Wano Country and became the eyeliner placed next to the president of the branch, Masamachi Kusao.
Germain, who has a "double undercover identity". Hansu waited for three years and three years, and the clan seemed to have no intention of recalling him at all, and also prostituted the information he stole from the Sigmund Company. Han Su had no choice but to start frantically researching the experimental subjects of the fruit of ability.
Originally, the Ability Fruit was just a concept fruit introduced by the New Tokyo Super Research Institute in recent years, and the instability and success rate were outrageously low, and the first generation of the fruit was no different from oral explosives after eating.
But in Germain. Under the secondary research and development of Hansu, it seems that the success rate has gradually improved from the perspective of big data.
Although this success rate is still pitifully low, it is not difficult to imagine that as the success rate of his continuous experimental ability continues to increase, sooner or later he will enter the field of vision of the "Nine Masters of Heaven and Man".
Although the Nine Heavenly and Human Masters withdrew from the stage of history hundreds of years ago due to a mighty human revolution, they lurk in the shadows and rarely show themselves to the general public.
Nowadays, when it comes to the celestial aristocracy, the first thing that comes to the minds of ordinary people in various countries is the ugly and arrogant faces of those celestial and human councillors in the upper house, and it is rare to think of the nine great families who have disappeared in the trend of history.
However, the Nine Celestials who actually control the lifeblood of different realms in this world, and who possess outstanding celestial talents and top-notch absolute abilities within the clan, are the true world nobles and privileged classes that are well known to the upper echelons of all countries, and they are also the true cornerstone of the Celestial and Human World Government to maintain its rule.
Something like the fruit of ability,
Just a little more stable "a little......
I'm afraid that everyone will swim like a shark that smells blood in the dark deep sea and swim up to get a piece of the pie. Hansu naturally became the sweetheart in the eyes of the nine families.
It's a pity...
He couldn't wait for that day.
Higashinohara was a little shocked after reading it!
He thought that Sigmund International Trading Company and the Lords of the House of Lords behind him represented a powerful force that the Metropolitan Police Department could not parry, but he didn't expect that there was such a terrifying thing as "Heaven and Man Nine Families" behind it, it seemed that this world was far more complicated than he imagined.
......
When Higashinohara sighed in his heart at the class morning meeting, at the same time, a meeting was also being held in the Metropolitan Police Department in Chiyoda-ku, New Tokyo.
The Metropolitan Police Department's No. 3 Investigation Team Leader in New Tokyo, the Chief of the Criminal Affairs Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, and the Inspector General of the Metropolitan Police Department, as well as the second-in-command of the Metropolitan Police Department, attended the meeting.
The conference was provisionally named:
γOdaiba Villa Fire Incident - Emergency Seminar on "Captain Dragonfly"]
.....
.....
Metropolitan Police Department, in a dimly lit conference room.
"Time is running out"
β......β
"Are you saying that you want to take everyone here away?"
β......β
"They belong to me, I just... Justice driven by interest. β
β......β
"I don't have that much time, so I'll leave it to you, by the way, there's a room in the innermost part of this floor... There's a little girl there. β
β......β
"Didn't you just say Captain Dragonfly? Then call me Captain Dragonfly. β
β......β
"It's too slow... Time is running out. β
β......β
The law enforcement camera recorder projected the picture taken last night on the large LCD screen at the front of the conference room, playing two videos, standing on the side is responsible for playing and explaining last night's "war correspondent" Mai Aragaki, and there are ten people sitting around the conference table below.
This was an impromptu meeting.
In the past, there were several teams of the Third Investigation Group attended by the captains with out-of-the-box or eccentric personalities, even if the bigwigs from various departments of the Metropolitan Police Department were present, the atmosphere of the meeting would most likely develop in the direction of a tea party, and even entertainment gossip could be discussed, unless the team leader Tokugawa Kurita was personally present to suppress these people.
But today, Team Leader Tokugawa did not attend the meeting, but the atmosphere in the conference room was very strange, and several team leaders of the Third Investigation Group were all silently staring at the projection screen on the screen, as if they were caught in some incomprehensible contemplation.
At the back of the conference table, in the middle of the room, was a middle-aged man wearing a navy blue windbreaker, holding an unlit cigar in his mouth, his hands crossed on the table, his whole body leaning forward slightly, and the expression on his face was serious and serious.
He is the captain of the first team, Tsukada Masa, a superpower of the sixth order and 5th stage of the talent sequence 42 [Remodeling], with strong strength, known as the title of "the first person under the absolute ability" in New Tokyo, and when Tokugawa Kurita was away, the affairs of the third reconnaissance team were handled by him.
After being silent for a while, Tsukada Masashi suddenly said to Mai Aragaki and said, "I just returned to that section, replay it, there is labor." β
Speaking of which, Mai Aragaki, an intern of the thirteenth team, can be a docent for the big guys today, but she was the only one holding the camera recorder last night, so she could only grit her teeth.
Hearing Tsukada Masa's words, Mai Aragaki hurriedly replayed the video just now, and specially slowed down the speed, almost playing frame by frame.
The video replay, of course, is not the grotesque words.
At the very least, you can hear it clearly.
In addition to the words of the man wearing the dark golden dragonfly mask, Mai Aragaki's law enforcement camera also captured the battle footage of him briefly fighting with Ryunosuke Kamiya, a cadre of the [Sakamoto no Dragon] Pirates, and the president of the new Tokyo branch of Sigmund.
However, at this moment, even if the second replay is slow-played, no one at the scene can see the movement of the figure, and the whole picture looks like a frame jumping back and forth in a cloud of dark shadows.
The moment it ends,
The opponent has already fallen to the ground.
Silent...
An unusual silence...
A moment later, the captain of the third team, Nishirin Chitetsu, who was sitting on the right side of Tsukada, with a tall nose and a rough appearance, frowned and asked in a loud voice:
"What are the frames of these two videos?"
Mai Aragaki, who was already nervous, was startled by this voice, but fortunately she did her homework in advance and hurriedly replied, "The footage of our own camera recorder is all standard 50 frames per second, and the battle with Kusao Masaten on the second basement is captured by the surveillance camera in the basement, which is only 30 frames per second." β
Hearing Mai Aragagaki's words, the conference table suddenly fell silent again.
Even if it's only a 30-frame video, you can still see most of the speed-based superpowers' battles when slowing down to frame by frame, but the figure in the projection screen in front of the conference room is still just a blurry elongated shadow, and you can't see any posture and movement of the other party at all.
"It's... Shadow-like guys. β
Juro Miyano, the captain of the sixth team, who ran away from the support site last night, let out a sigh of emotion.
Tsukada Masa, who was sitting in the first place, paused, and said one sentence to express the doubts that everyone was speculating in their hearts, "Such a speed... It should have exceeded the sixth order, right? β
Miyano Juro was stunned for a moment, and smashed his mouth with a smile, "Brother Tsukada means to say... Is it a seventh-order absolute power? It seems that it is also, that kind of speed, I'm afraid that only the seventh-order ability of the speed system can have, but ......"
He said a "but",
Didn't go on.
But the people knew what he was going to say.
If the person wearing the dragonfly mask is really a seventh-order absolute ability, then as long as the [domain] unique to the absolute ability is unfolded during the battle, even a sixth-order superpower will not have much power to fight back, and there is no need to suppress the opponent with speed to the limit like in the video.
There is no doubt about that.
You must know that those with absolute ability above the seventh order are the high-end combat power of all countries in the world, so there is also a saying among those with ability that "all people below the seventh order are ants".
It's hard to say if this is an exaggeration.
At the very least, if Tokugawa Kuritoro, the leader of the absolute ability of the third investigation team, wants to clean them up, the captains of the thirteen teams are probably barely enough to see if they are tied together, but defeat is only a matter of time, and the urging and understanding of the ability of the two sides is not at the same level at all.
"Could it be teasing your opponent?" There is speculation.
Another person not far away immediately shook his head:
"I don't see it, in the video, he said several times in a row that time is running out, it seems that there is something in a hurry, if it is really a seventh-order absolute ability, there is no reason not to start the field and end the battle early."
At this time, a man with long hair and a feminine temperament said slowly, "If I'm not mistaken... The innate ability of the man in the video should be [Shadow Instant], right? β
He is the captain of the fifth team, Kimura Hakutaku of the fourth stage of the sixth order of talent sequence 44 [Mirror Flower Water Moon], and was born in the Kimura family, one of the top ten chaebol wealthy families in Wano Country.
The fight scene in the video was so fast and shocking that everyone was just attracted to attentionβso much so that they subconsciously ignored the ability of the man in the dark golden dragonfly mask.
Shadow Instant, the gray ordinary ability of talent sequence 98, the limit of the [Shadow Instant] ability recorded for thousands of years is only to raise the level of personal ability to the fourth order, and control the power of the four shadows against the enemy.
The guy in the video.... He actually urged 24 shadows in one breath when he was fighting with the top superpowers of the sixth order 3rd stage.
It's appalling.
If it weren't for the fact that the video was handed over by his own hands, and there were many witnesses at the scene, I am afraid that everyone in the conference room would laugh at it even if they saw it, and felt that most of it was a synthetic video.
But because of this, this scene has quickly become the second huge suspicion in the video - it is obviously the gray ordinary ability of talent sequence 98, how can that man be able to do that level?
The one who was able to investigate the visitors last night has already been investigated, and there is also the eldest daughter of the Taidaochuan family to cooperate with the investigation, and some people say that when they entered the villa, they saw a waiter wearing a dark golden dragonfly mask.
The problem is that no one knows if the masks coincide, and it is not clear whether the other party has picked up a mask after entering the banquet.
Even more of a headache.... The waiter of Sigmund Company last night was completely a strong man caught by Dick, not to mention the contact information, that guy was too lazy to even register his name, and after the banquet, he found that Jin was dismissed.
There was silence again in the room.
Everyone is frowning and pondering.
At this time, in the corner of the conference table, the captain of the thirteenth team, who was wounded in bandages and attended the meeting, was silent for a while, and suddenly said:
"I wonder if you're getting the point wrong?
Rather than guessing the identity and strength of that man, what I'm more curious about is... The Celestial staff of the Sigmund Trading Company that we arrested last night and the case of the trafficker K... What should I do? β
Hearing his words, the eyes of everyone in the conference room drifted to the corner of the conference table, and their faces gradually showed different expressions.
This guy is still so good at giving people problems......
......
