The rain kept falling, getting heavier and heavier.

The damp night sky is like a cloud of teal ink, as if it is about to turn the city upside down, making it impossible to tell whether the rain curtain in front of you is falling from the sky or rising from the ground back to the sky.

Chiyoda-ku,

Metropolitan Police Department building.

Office of the Head of the Third Investigation Team.

Behind the desk, through the huge floor-to-ceiling window, you can see the red and blue storm lights flickering downstairs at your feet, and the faint sound of chaotic footsteps and sirens can be heard.

The 3rd Investigation Group and the Search Division on duty tonight were making coffee and drinking tea, but a sudden emergency order sent them almost all of them to the Sky Tree radio tower in Sumida Ward to maintain order and deal with possible chaos.

After receiving the order to go downstairs, many people looked at each other a few times, their faces were a little weird, and they wondered if there was something too big of a fuss above, and a fanatic hijacked the Sky Tree and said something strange and told them to go out in the rain.

Is it really?

And in the office above their heads, there was no light in the room.

Water was boiling in the kettle on the desk, and a lamp on the desk illuminated a corner of the room.

Turn past the chair,

The temporary acting leader of the third investigation team, Kimura Shiratum, sat opposite the floor-to-ceiling window in front of him.

The transparent window was dappled with water, and you could faintly see the reflection of the computer screen on the desk behind it, and the picture under the radio tower of the Sky Tree was being broadcast live.

He raised his wrist,

I looked down at the time on my watch.

It was 6:59 p.m., half a minute before 7 o'clock.

Grunt, grunt!

The sound of heated and boiling water gradually became restless, and Kimura Shirata turned around and picked up the water cup and began to brew coffee.

Very simple instant coffee,

It doesn't seem to match his identity as the eldest son of the Kimura family, one of the top ten wealthy chaebols in New Tokyo.

But the look on his face was enjoyable.

Picking up the brewed coffee, Kimura Shirato looked down again at the slowly turning hands on his watch.

It's almost time...

He thought so.

......

Sumida Ward, at the foot of the Sky Tree.

The sky overhead became darker and darker, the dark clouds rolled, the night wind surged, and the raindrops the size of beans collided with each other in the air and fell one after another.

Without warning,

Under the night sky, standing in the midst of countless brightly lit buildings, the sky tree tower, which was like a giant tree mixed with orange and indigo light, suddenly extinguished from the bottom to the top!

When people realized this, they didn't react to what was going on.

Suddenly, the tall tower of the Sky Tree, which stood alone like a torch burning at night, extinguished all light and became a large black pillar in the steel jungle.

"What happened?"

"Is the power out?"

"The Skytree should have backup power."

"Could it be that what the guy said on the radio just now has come true?"

"Wouldn't it? Did you really believe that madman? ”

"Don't you believe it? So what are you still doing here? ”

“......”

The people in the business district at the foot of the Sky Tree talked for a while, and finally suddenly fell silent.

If they were originally skeptical about the crazy words on the radio just now, they just wanted to stay and see what the man's so-called "grace" on the radio was.

But this sudden change made them look forward to it even more.

Although people were reluctant to admit it, it had to be said that the words of the man on the radio still aroused a certain kind of longing in their hearts.

Everyone is afraid of power, and everyone is hungry for power, provided that they are the ones who control power and have the power to kill and kill other people's lives.

The rain sliding down the umbrella surface, the figures on the streets swaying on rainy nights, and the hidden desires in people's hearts are like bubbles bubbling from the depths of the water, slowly rising to observe the situation on the water.

What no one notices is that

In the midst of such a stormy night, a ghostly figure stepped out from under the sky tree that had completely extinguished its lights.

Walking in the rain, Kenjiro Nanami wears a yellow hard hat and blue maintenance overalls, and looks like a disabled person who has lost his right arm.

However, he has an unusually muscular appearance, carrying a black toolbox in his left hand.

About a minute before he stepped out of the Sky Tree, the enforcement team of the four Adjudication Divisions burst into the tower and rode the elevator up - well, they should be trapped in the elevator that had stood still after the power went out.

Kenjiro Nanami thought to himself.

He hadn't thought that he would be able to snipe the Seventh Inquisitor of the Inquisition Division on the Sky Tree with this Nightmare in the first place.

He was well aware of the limits of his abilities, and even more aware of the huge gap between the eighth-order demigod-level ability and him.

But today, for him, revenge is no longer about success.

Kenjiro Nanami just wants to give him all the bullets left in Nightmare before he falls back into prison, and that's the only thing he can do for his two daughters.

Of course, if he could, he would be more like shoving the dagger in his toolbox into the other party's throat - after all, revenge is such a thing as looking at the desperate eyes of the enemy and swallowing his last breath before pouring out all the burning hatred in his heart.

It's just that... Judging from his observation from the high place just now, Kyoto Sword Hao Taogong Lin is already at a complete disadvantage, and can only rely on the continuous regeneration of [Weiyuan New Life] to support him.

The oil is out of the lamp...

It's just a matter of time.

Fortunately, Nanami Kenjiro never pinned his hopes for revenge on others, and even if Kazema Ryuo suggested that he find a way to contact the man hiding behind the dark golden mask, he didn't have much hope.

Therefore, seeing the failure of Plan A,

He immediately stepped down from the tower of the Sky Tree to carry out Plan B.

Always calm and clear mind, this is the basic quality that a top "scavenger" should have.

However, at this time, Kenjiro Nanami, who was walking in the crowd, suddenly felt a little weird, as if something was not quite right.

He couldn't help frowning slightly.

Soon, he reacted.

It's so quiet...

Yes, it's too quiet.

The passers-by around him were still walking with umbrellas, but the noisy sound just now disappeared, like the insects and birds in the verdant forest on a spring day, leaving only an eerie silence.

The faces of the people passing by him were glazed, and all of them were staring in a certain direction.

Kenjiro Nanami in the rain frowned.

But in the next second, he reacted, and the direction people were looking at was the Sky Tree Radio Tower he had just walked out of.

Suddenly, Kenjiro Nanami felt the ground tremble slightly under his feet.

This is... What happened?

He finally stopped in the rain, turned his head, his pupils shrank sharply, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

I saw a layer of "canopy" that seemed to be a field but not a field, slowly spreading out in all directions like radio waves with the pitch-black towering sky tree as the center, occupying all the space inch by inch, and wisps of black silk like spring rain slowly descended overhead, and the terrifying canopy finally spread to the distant sky nearly two thousand meters away.

Suddenly, the lights of the buildings around the Sky Tree, which were shrouded in the "canopy", began to flicker.

The tall buildings seemed to be starting to vibrate at some slight frequency, as if they were resonating with something.

And under the "canopy",

Wisps of black silk fell on the crowd overhead, but it was the same person he had just seen.

Everyone's face was dull, and their pupils were dilated as they continued to walk forward, as if only the last 'walking' command and the most basic instinct for action were left in their minds.

Inexplicably, Kenjiro Nanami felt a hint of cold on a rainy night.

That cold is not physical cold,

It's that the lonely human being was suddenly thrown into the night walk of a hundred ghosts, and when he looked around, there was no one of the same kind of cold in the depths of his heart...

Kenjiro Nanami narrowed his eyes slightly.

He didn't know what was going on.

I don't know if it's good or bad.

The only thing he knew for sure at the moment was one thing.

I don't seem to be affected.

What now?

Kenjiro Nanami rarely stopped in place and thought for a few seconds, one of the few times in his boring Kiyodo lady's life.

The next moment, he turned around and continued to walk forward in silence with his toolbox.

Kenjiro Nanami has already come up with the answer.

Now that he can still move.

Then revenge, of course, continues.

......

In fact, Kenjiro Nanami is not a very special lucky one.

On the pedestrian street at the foot of the Sky Tree, the vast majority of the students at the Takebarami Private School in Kyoto and New Tokyo were unaffected...

It's just that around the exchange venue, the media reporters in charge of the lighting of the venue and the six major TV stations around them all stared at the direction of the extinguished sky tree as if they were lost in their souls under the cover of that layer of "canopy", and some of their bodies suddenly began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.

This... What's going on?

Principal Kyogoku Kawasui looked up in shock at the "black curtain" above his head.

He suddenly smelled a familiar smell from the wisps of black gas that fell from the sky like spring rain.

It's like...

Momonomiya Rimaya's knife...

The moment he realized this,

Without warning,

Suddenly, some of the ordinary people who stood still around the exchange venue fell into the rain.

They squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands in agony, tearing their hair and scalp, and let out a terrible roar in their throats that was not at all human!

.....~

"Tsk... Interesting. ”

On the grounds of the exchange, the seventh ruling made Gaius. Rhine was also aware of the abnormalities around him, thinking of the words on the radio just now and some of the secrets he had learned from the Nine Heavenly and Human Families, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl slightly.

At this moment, he faintly glanced at the figure opposite who didn't know how many times he had been cut by his own [Infinite Sword Prison], he shook his head and said:

"You've already lost, but now I don't have time to take your life, if you still want revenge, you can wait for me here, I'm going to go on a more important 'date' first."

Speaking of this, he waved his hand to remove the [Rules. Infinite Sword Prison], he turned around and walked down the dilapidated field so unscrupulously, and his eyes leisurely looked through the rain curtain in a certain direction of the pedestrian street.

The members of the execution team of the Ruling Division all around saluted respectfully, but the onlookers in the street stood motionless, and they hurried out to make a wide path for the Venerable Seventh Ruling as if they had come.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the people on the ground who were holding their heads in pain suddenly stopped struggling, and immediately stood up again in a very strange posture like a wave of wheat that had been cut down, and everyone's eyes floated with a strange black.

What's the situation?

The hearts of the people in the enforcement team of the adjudication department are tight!

But at the thought that the Seventh Ruling Envoy was behind them, where did they dare to stop? He immediately raised his weapon and tried to violently force back these suddenly very strange humans.

However, at this time,

An ordinary human's arms suddenly shone like a dragon and a snake, and in the next second, he rushed towards the execution team that wanted to push him.

Immediately afterward, the other humans around them who stood up again also let out a strange and terrifying roar in their throats, and suddenly appeared on their bodies with various abilities such as 'wind, fire, water and mines'... They pounced on the Adjudicator like beasts.

Caught off guard, the surroundings of the exchange meeting instantly fell into a sudden chaos...
