Chapter Seventy-One: That Man's Strength Is No More Than That (8K Asks for a Monthly Pass)
The search continues.
A yellow cordon has been set up in the ruins of the mall, and it is impossible for them to enter the ruins to confirm the information of the victims in this situation.
So the three of them could only go to the surrounding pedestrian streets with the idea that the outcome was not the worst, and at the same time keep in touch with the families of the missing people to get the latest status of the progress.
Night comes before you know it.
The high-rise buildings around this pedestrian street in Shibuya are lit up like a curtain on both sides of the street.
"Looks like I can't find it tonight."
Aragaki Satoru sighed, shook his head and said, "It's no wonder that there aren't many peers willing to take on this kind of commission, there are too many places where people can move in this society." β
He sighed like this, deliberately avoiding the possibility that the two girls might have been in the mall at the time of the horror and were now lying in the ashes of a dead ruin.
This is not only clear to Higashinohara.
Even Xia Li knew it.
Hearing Satoru Aragaki's words, both of them were silent.
Aragaki Satoru was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said with a smile, "Hahaha, don't be bitter, just smile, think about life on the good side of everything to have less trouble and more fun." β
After finishing speaking, he clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Okay, this is the end of the afternoon's work, now I get off work, and I will contact the family of the missing person tomorrow, maybe the little girl will be homesick after leaving home for a few days, and she will secretly run back in the middle of the night." β
Higashinohara nodded, although he was in a somewhat depressed mood at this moment, there was no better way, and followed Aragaki Satoru and Xia Li to the parking lot of the pedestrian street.
However, he didn't go far, and when he passed by the ruins of the shopping mall again, Higashinohara stopped and looked across the road from the ruins of the mall.
Satoru Aragaki and Xia Li, who were walking in front, turned their heads at the same time after noticing, Xia Li scratched her short silver ears and urged, "Hurry up Higashino!" The intersection ahead is immediately red. β
Satoru Aragaki glanced at Higashinohara's gaze, but only saw two strangely dressed people standing across the road, but it was not unusual for Shibuya to be the trendiest area in Tokyo, and he asked with some confusion, "Did Higashinohara see the missing girl?" β
Before coming, he showed the two of them in the car.
Higashinohara came back to his senses when he heard this, and shook his head with a smile, "No, I just remembered that I found a part-time job at a convenience store here before I left, so you can go back first." β
"Wow! Higashino, are you going to go to work? β
Xia Li was a little envious when she heard this, and leaned up and asked, "Dongye, can you help me find a part-time job if you have time?" What do you think I'm suitable for? β
Higashinohara glanced at the two furry ears erected above Xia Li's head, "Hmm... Cat cafΓ©, you have time to go for an interview, you should have a good chance. β
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't poach people in front of me! Satoru Aragaki was dissatisfied.
Xia Li realized that her boss was next to her, and quickly patted her chest and promised, "Boss, don't worry!" You have been so kind to me that I will not betray you. β
"That's right, do a good job, you will be the patriarch of the firm in the future." Satoru Aragaki promised a blank check without blinking.
In fact, at first, he was a little resistant to the 'Catwoman' that Mai Aragaki recruited him, but after getting along during this time, he found that the office had someone who could be called, and it was much more convenient in all aspects.
Even when he went to post a small advertisement on the street, the one he posted in front was torn or covered by others, and Xia Li, who followed behind, immediately posted it here, and it could be "seamless".
Xia Li was also very happy to hear this, and her eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.
The word elder sounded very valuable, so she asked excitedly, "The boss... Can I get a regular this month? How much does it cost each month? β
"Ahhh Hahaha, don't be in such a hurry... You've seen the situation in our office... What the hell..."
Speaking of this, Satoru Aragaki suddenly turned his head and waved his hand at Higashinohara, "Higashino, let's go back first, you can take the train home by yourself later, Xia Li-chan go quickly!" It's going to be a red light soon! β
Higashinohara also smiled and waved his hand.
When Satoru Aragaki and Xia Li disappeared at the intersection, the smile on his face gradually faded, and his eyes looked back at the other side of the road in the ruins of the shopping mall, but his consciousness sank into the evil manual in his mind.

[Spawning, you can select the task: capture or clear the pirate Golia. Cook, after a successful capture, he can immediately obtain an ability to capture a prisoner]
Pirates of the Western Sea?
How did you end up on the streets of New Tokyo?
Higashinohara looked at the name in the crime handbook and the other party's abilities, and couldn't help but think of the news he saw in the afternoon, which seemed to mention that the criminals in the shopping mall terrorist incident might be from abroad.
Two guys across the road,
Could it have anything to do with the explosion in the afternoon?
Higashino Hara's gaze shifted downwards and looked at the image of the other party's characters.
......
"Boss Murphy left us here, and they went to Kabukicho... Tsk tsk. β
Across the road, a woman in a light blue coat snuffed out a woman's cigarette and threw it into the green belt on the side of the road, smiling charmingly at a passing office worker.
The latter's heart suddenly fluttered, and he quickly lowered his head to avoid his gaze, this woman is so beautiful.
When the companion next to him heard the complaint, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't think so much, when this mission is over, there will be time for us to be chic, and Boss Murphy has never treated us badly." β
"That's..."
The woman in the light blue coat nodded, "But we've been waiting here for an afternoon, and I haven't seen anyone except the Metropolitan Police Department, so I guess it's impossible for that 'Captain Dragonfly' to come, do you want to have some fun?" β
"Hey, hey... Don't make trouble. β
"What's the trouble, let's put on a mask, everything is done by 'Captain Dragonfly'... What does it have to do with us, isn't that what the task is now? β
"Huh? That's right, what do you think of the two guys on the other side? β
"Does it look like a high school couple who have just finished school and are shopping... Tsk, is it really a warm and leisurely youth? I heard that people in love are willing to give up their lives for each other, do you believe it? β
"I don't believe it, you."
"I don't believe it either, but I'd like to try."
......
At the mouth of the alley behind a high-rise building across the road, there were two figures, a man and a woman, and the girl walking in front seemed to be a little angry, and the boy behind chased after her and grabbed her hand.
"Walk this way, the alley behind is a shortcut."
"It's all your fault that you came to this mall for a date and a movie, but now it's okay, it's okay to take the tram for half a day or run for nothing."
"Alright, alright! It's all my fault, come on in. β
"Hey, hey... What are you doing. β
"Kiss me! Just kiss it! β
"Nasty! Not here, wait! You can't there..."
Two young couples are making out in a dark alley.
"Ahem, ahem!"
At this moment, a dry cough sounded in the alley without warning.
The boy's movements were stunned, and he turned around in surprise, and the girl hurriedly tidied up her clothes, raised her hand and wiped her face, and was a little angry to find that a piece of her makeup had been gnawed off.
She was about to question the boy, but when she noticed the two figures in front of her, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
The two people who jumped in front of him with their backs to the street lights behind them, wearing dark golden dragonfly masks on their faces, walked in casually and naturally, without any awareness of disturbing others.
......
"Who are you?"
The boy asked, a little unpleasantly.
The man among the two smiled and said, "Please forgive me for the interruption... Since you're asking in good faith, I'm going to get straight to the point - let's play a game, only one of you will survive tonight, and the decision is yours. β
A game that can only live one?
The little couple was stunned for a moment, the girl seemed to be a little scared, although the boy didn't want to lose face in front of his girlfriend, but he was pulled back by the girl behind him, plus the masks on the faces of the two people in front of him...
His heart suddenly became a little timid.
"Neurotic..."
The boy cursed quietly, and he pulled the girl around and wanted to leave.
Unexpectedly, the man behind him chuckled.
He snapped his fingers, and without warning, a circle of extremely hot flames "hula" surrounded the young couple in the middle.
Flame Burst. Flame Wreath!
"Now... The game begins. β
As the words fell, the extremely high temperature fire circle suddenly and slowly contracted towards the panicked little couple in the middle, and the rolling heat wave could be felt on the surface of the skin.
A clear thought welled up in their minds.
People will die!
It's really going to die!
Goliath, dressed in a light blue coat, raised her hand and threw a sailor's scimitar into the flaming wreath, her charming eyes full of bright smiles, "When there is only one person left, the flames will stop, and of course you can die together." β
"You, you, you... Who are you? Why? The girl looked at the two in horror.
"We?"
Golia pointed to the mask on her face and smiled playfully, "We're Captain Dragonfly, it seems that this mask is not well-known enough, I thought you would have recognized it a long time ago." β
The man next to him with a flame burning on his fingertips gently rubbed his fingers, and the flaming wreath suddenly shrank towards the middle little by little, and he looked at the panicked little couple and laughed:
"Hurry up, time is running out."
At this moment, a very abrupt and grotesque voice came from behind the two of them without warning, "Coincidentally, I don't have much time. β
The boy in the black hoodie wearing a mask quietly emerged from the dark shadow in the corner behind the two without warning.
didn't think too much about it at all, the pirates in the West Sea lived a day licking blood at the tip of a knife every day, and the terrifying sense of crisis behind them made them turn around in an instant, swing their knives, and urge their abilities.
Flame Burst. Flame Slash!
Time hourglass!
However, before the two who turned around could see the figure coming out of the shadow behind them, the man who slashed out the flame slash in his hand instantly lost his balance, and one leaned forward and fell.
Golia, who had unfolded the hourglass of time and slowed down the flow of time around her, suddenly shrank her pupils in this shocking moment, and it was incredibly strange to see a figure almost parallel to the ground, standing perpendicular to her companion's back!
Before she could blink!
In the next moment, her companion was kicked to the ground before she lost her balance, but the figure still disappeared into her retina.
The Time Hourglass Ability doesn't need to be faster than others, as long as she slows down the flow of time around her and lets others slow down, she will naturally be faster.
But at this moment,
But it doesn't seem to have the slightest effect.
Before Golia could react, a strange voice came from the root behind her ear, "What are the pirates of the West Sea doing in New Tokyo?" On vacation? β
How did she know we were from the West Sea?
Gloria was shocked.
The Sen Han folding knife exercised by the celestial meteorite in his hand was just about to be cut out, but he found that his hand was empty, and the folding knife had already appeared in the other party's hand!
The other looked down at her knife.
"It's a precious knife."
Goliath jumped back in an instant, and her fists opened up a defensive stance, and those who mastered the ability of [Time Hourglass] generally possessed excellent physical fitness and fighting skills.
In the next moment, at the moment when the black shadow pounced, the moment her fist exploded, it was a sharp knee hit, but the unexpected feedback was a hollow feeling that made people vomit blood!
The figure went from front of her to her side for a moment, like a dream bubble, her fist's right arm had detached and landed, the incision was neat and smooth, and the broken arm fell into the dim alley with a clatter.
But the blood gushed out, and the broken arm instantly frightened the little couple and screamed.
"It's a sharp knife."
The figure wearing the mask said the third sentence.
The tone is still so grotesque and bizarre.
"Aren't you leaving?"
This was said to the two high school students.
In the next moment, the little couple trapped by the flame wreath realized that the flames around them had actually disappeared, and looking at the bloody and terrifying picture in front of them, the two quickly turned around and crawled, supporting each other and running to the other end of the alley.
Higashinohara turned his head to look behind him, and the man who controlled the flames seemed to have slipped away when he saw that something was wrong, so the flame wreath would disappear.
Fortunately, the goal on the sin handbook did not go.
He looked down at Golia, who had suffered a broken arm. Cook, with a quick stroke of the folding knife in his hand, the mask on the other party's face instantly collapsed - revealing a woman's face and white and blonde fluffy hair, and his appearance looked very charming and moving.
"It looks like the game is over, and your companions have abandoned you." Higashinohara turned his head and glanced at it and said lightly.
"Who are you? Are you the one wearing the dragonfly mask? Golia endured the severe pain, remembered the other party's shadow-like ability, and stared at the eyes on Higashinohara's mask and said hatefully.
Higashinohara said softly, "That's right, I answered your question, now can you answer me a few questions?" β
"A couple of questions... Hehe... You want me to answer the question, unlessβ" Goliath heard that she was still useful, and her eyes flickered, and she suddenly had the idea of procrastination.
However, Higashinohara was
I didn't want to listen to what she was saying.
"Unless? I'm sorry... I'm in a hurry. β
He explained as if he were talking to himself.
What?
Gloria was stunned!
In the next moment, another cold light swept through the dim alley after the slash, and a head with white and blonde hair rolled to the ground, and her beautiful and charming face was full of incomprehension.
Blood gushed out in an instant!
......
At the same time,
In an alley separated by a few streets.
A man took out his mobile phone and dialed a certain number as he ran, and soon a Thiago came from the other end of the phone. Murphy's voice asked unhurriedly:
"What's wrong? Is something wrong? β
"Boss! We've met that man! That's what we're aiming for this time! β
"Oh?!"
On the other end of the phone, Thiago's face suddenly showed an interested look, "Why did you call, Golia?" β
"Goliath is in the end." The man's tone was a little embarrassed.
"Looks like you're losing?"
Thiago. Murphy squinted slightly and asked, "How is the strength of the other party?" β
The man did not dare to lie in front of Thiago and recalled the scene just now.
"The other party is fast! But the strength doesn't seem to be as strong as imagined, and it feels a little inconsistent with the rumors, at most the early stage of the seventh order. β
He told the truth and didn't hide anything, which was not a mistake of judgment.
The main Higashinohara has just obtained a four-star sin value from Golia, and all the temporary attribute points are only more than 70 points added to the agility, and the speed alone is not even as good as the state of the night when the snake returned to me, not to mention the panic state of the agility breakthrough of the first time on the day of the Rising Sun Island.
Thiago also fell into deep thought when he heard this, it seems that the family got the wrong news from the Bart family...
But in that case...
This time the task seemed a lot easier.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a strange man's voice suddenly broke into the other end of the phone, and the tone sounded extremely grotesque and strange.
"Sorry, did you bother you on the phone?"
A few seconds later...
Explosions and screams came from the other end of the phone at the same time, and the phone seemed to be destroyed by the explosion, and there was a blind sound of "Dididi".
The call is interrupted...
Thiago's eyes narrowed slightly.
The beginning of the seventh order...
What an arrogant guy!
......
