Chapter 98: Praying Mantis
In the night of Tokyo, a figure stumbled in the dim light.
Passers-by all glanced at him with disgust or curiosity, then indifferently avoided him and continued on his way.
Completely unaware of the disgusted gazes of the people around them.
The man swayed, walking in the shadows like a lost dog.
It fades into the alleys where the lights don't shine.
"Yaga, bastard......" Koji Nakajima muttered as he drank.
With a snap, the bottle shattered, and Koji Nakajima slipped.
He lay with his eyes dim, slowly moving against the wall.
"I'm Nakajima...... Koji Nakajima actually ...... However, there will also be such a thing as plagiarism of achievements, Hirosaku Kawajiri! Hiroshi Kawajiri ......"
"Smack!"
Something that hit Koji Nakajima's forehead with precision.
"Huh? Who! Who threw me. “
Koji Nakajima then yelled angrily, he would never be so rude in normal times.
It's really hard to settle, he is fortunate to have spent years of hard work, just because of someone else's words, it has inexplicably become someone else's thing.
Muttering a few more times, he picked up what he had just smashed in the faint moonlight.
"Huh? Bugger...... Hiccup~"
His glasses hung diagonally over his ears, and his eyes were a little open, and he didn't know if he couldn't see clearly or was short-sighted.
Helping his eyes, Koji Nakajima lifted the insect in his hand and put it under the street lamp to watch.
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally recognized the bug: "It's a praying mantis...... Praying Mantis ...... Praying mantis, it's so green. ”
Shout!
The praying mantis wields a scythe and stabs Koji Nakajima's fingers.
"Humph!" Koji Nakajima didn't feel pain, but he did see the praying mantis slashing at him.
The corners of Koji Nakajima's mouth trembled slightly, and his face began to be hideous: "Even you!" Even you, a brute, bullied me! ”
Koji Nakajima's fingers were so hard that he directly pinched the praying mantis to death, pinched it flat, and the green pulp covered his hands.
"Huh...... Hehe, haha...... Ha ......"
He looked at the mantis's body residue and laughed maniacally.
"Kawajiri Kosaku, Kawajiri Kosaku, wait for me...... Waiting for me ......"
Koji Nakajima leaned up against the wall and gradually went deeper into the alley.
…………
TPC Headquarters.
A female staff member led the way in front, followed by ordinary people who had come to visit TPC.
"TPC is a transcendent organization established by the world's scientific community at the end of the 20th century through the collaboration of scientists around the world, starting with the initiative of the United Nations Chief Minister Soichiro Sawai.
"His mission is to protect humanity from unexplained phenomena and natural disasters."
……
Lin Che looked curiously at the TPC headquarters, and touched it from time to time.
The reason why he was able to walk in so openly was because he used his ability to digitize and simply forged an identity for himself.
TPC's headquarters is not as high-tech as Xio's, but it is the place he once wanted to visit.
As for the introduction of the staff, he also hehe, the things he said can basically be found on the Internet, and there is nothing else at all.
"In front of it is the legendary Victory Team War Room, which is not open because it needs to be kept secret."
The voice of the staff came, and Lin Che subconsciously raised his head.
The door to the war room just opened, and out of it came a man and a woman, Dagu and Lina.
Lin Che looked at them intently, and he was not afraid of being seen as abnormal, because all the people who visited were similar to him.
There were also some immature Dagu and Lina chatting and walking past the visiting team, and when they passed by Lin Che, Dagu glanced at him with a slight feeling.
"What's wrong?" Lina asked, tilting her head.
Dagu replied: "It's nothing, it's just that the person looks a little familiar." ”
Lina said, "Acquaintance? ”
Dagu shook his head.
Lin Che looked at the backs of the pair of "dog" men and women with disdain, squinting his eyes.
"Everyone, keep up, it's ...... here," shouted the staff member who led the way, and Lin Che immediately followed.
…………
Shinjo and Horii inspect bodies at the crime scene, surrounded by busy police.
Xincheng stood outside the door, looking up at the only clean ceiling in the place.
After looking at the corpse, Horii turned pale and walked out with his mouth covered.
Hearing the movement of Horii coming out, Xincheng lowered his head: "How is it?" ”
Horii covers his mouth with one hand and points to the outside with the other.
After the two walked out of the scene of the crime, Horii squatted down with his mouth open.
Xincheng handed over a bottle of mineral water, and Horii gurgled and rinsed: "Judging from the situation at the scene, the deceased, like the deceased in the previous case, was stabbed in two pieces by a sharp blade at a very fast speed, which is definitely not something that humans can do." ”
Xincheng said dullly: "This is already the second case of dismemberment. ”
Horii pinched his throat: "If it weren't for the 21st century, I would have suspected that these two cases were committed by legendary ghosts." ”
Xincheng touched his chin and said slowly: "Maybe it's really possible." ”
"Don't scare me, I'm not scared." Horii stood up and straightened his chest.
Didi ...... The communicator sounded.
Shinjo turns on the communicator, and Megumi Kuma's face appears on the screen.
"Captain."
Megumi said, "Ye Rui found through the surveillance near you that five hundred meters to the north, there was a giant mantis shadow at night, you two go and investigate." ”
"Okay."
Shinjo turned off the communicator and shrugged his shoulders at Horii, "It really looks like a youkai did it." ”
