Volume 1 The Old Man Chapter 24: Deterioration
"Are you going out?"
Coincidentally, sitting at the counter with nothing to do, and napping with his eyes closed, he heard the sound of Kusaka coming downstairs.
"Don't meddle with things."
"Ah, it's you. I thought it was the truth. ”
Qiao choked on a rare sentence of grass plus.
Kusaka didn't speak, he stopped looking, and walked straight out of the laundry, after which the sound of the engine starting came from outside the door.
What has that guy been thinking lately?
In the eyes of Qiao, Caojia's recent behavior has been particularly abnormal.
Could it be... He's already met Kageyama...
He thought of the scars on Kusaka's face from before.
If there really is an Orphnoch who is strong enough to hurt him and confident enough to let him go, it must be the lobster woman.
Qiao firmed up his thoughts.
After a while.
"Ah Qiao!"
The voice of truth came from upstairs.
"Ah Qiao, can you help me go out and buy something?"
Seeing that no one responded, she went downstairs to take a look.
"What's the matter with this man!"
Truth looked at the magazine that was randomly placed on the front desk, and she couldn't get angry.

"Is it because of Kageyama Tsuneko that you're looking for me this time?" Matsuzaki handed Kusaka a cup of tea to Kusa, who was sitting across from him.
"Nope."
"Oh? What's the reason for that? ”
Kusaka pulled a pack of wipes out of his pocket, pulled out one, and began to wipe his hands, from palm to finger and finger to palm.
"Do you mean you want me to guess?"
"Nope." Kusaka glanced up at him, "What I want to ask is, about myself. ”
"Tell me more about it."
"You should all know that if a human wants to transform into Kaixa, then there must be Orphnoch factors in the body, and before me, these factors are slowly getting weaker and weaker because of the transformation consumption."
"That's a problem," Matsuzaki blinked, "isn't that an obvious problem?" We resurrect you, and we hope that you will become the representative of the human side as Kaixa, must have been in mind. ”
"The 'human side'?" Kusaka sneered, "The so-called 'Orphnoch side' should be that guy Yuji Kiba." ”
"Of course. Mr. Kiba is a representative of the great ideal of building a coexisting society! ”
"What are you fanatical about?" Kusaka leaned forward suddenly, grabbed Matsuzaki by the collar and lifted him up, "You don't think you can control me, do you?" ”
"That kind of thing, how is that possible?" Matsuzaki's expression didn't change at all, "What I want to do is the goal of real coexistence, if it's really like you said, I want to control a thug, more than you are suitable for." ”
"Enough! Mr. Kusaka! ”
Kusaka turned around and saw Xitong holding O's spear and sword against him, and put down Matsuzaki with great interest.
"It looks like your dog is still obedient, and it barks!"
"Mr. Kusaka, I desperately want you to understand me, but you've become so crazy since Mr. Kiba-san appeared in front of you, I don't know how to explain my idea to you."
"You haven't shown your fox tail yet, and I certainly don't have proof." Kusaka turned and walked towards the door, "Matsugami Saitong, right?" I advise you not to listen to this man, what he wants to do is not a good thing. ”
When he walked out the door, he happened to meet him head-on.
Qiao felt that the atmosphere at the scene was a little tense, but when Kusaka turned into the corridor, he heard Kusaka let out a long exhale as if he was relieved.
"Mr. Qian..."Xitong seemed a little surprised by the appearance of Qiao.
"Ahh I just came to see how that guy was doing..."
"Since you're here, I'm just going to tell you something." Matsuzaki turned his back to them, his eyes looking at the front of the building through the window, "Besides, you are also concerned about this matter." ”
I happened to see Xitong obviously taken aback.
"You want to say 'that thing', are you ready!?"
"That's pretty much what it means."
Qiao didn't understand what they were saying, and his gaze kept shifting between the two of them.
"Mr. Qian," Matsuzaki turned, "do you remember the one I mentioned earlier, the 'Re-birth Project'?" ”
"Ah, you mean, the plan to combine the 'king' factor infusion with Orphnoch and continue life, right?"
"Well, that's not all there is to it, though." Matsuzaki walked to the filing cabinet on the side, took out a few documents from it and placed them on the table, "Faiz, Kaixa, and Delta were developed as weapons to protect the 'king', and their purpose is only to protect this one, and the 'king' factor needed for the Re-birth project needs a means similar to the former..."
"Isn't it, you want to say, there is also a belt in that plan!?" Qiao was stunned.
Matsuzaki nodded, motioning to take a look at the documents.
Saito took over the conversation and added, "The former president of Hanagata thinks that 'Wang' may be an uncontrollable factor, after all, he will feed on Orphnoch, so in order to be able to extract its factor, it is necessary to have a tool that can be used. And that's the belt of the Re-birth program—"
"Alpha and Beta."

Smart Brain Underground Car Park.
Kusaka sat in the seat of the motorcycle, his expression was much more relaxed, at least he knew that he could continue to fight now, but he was very strange why such an important issue he had only remembered to investigate at this time.
"Is this some kind of aftermath of the resurrection?"
He muttered to himself, and suddenly the truth came back to life in his mind, and perhaps he was in the same situation, and the truth had experienced the same at that time.
Kusaka breathed a sigh of relief and picked up her helmet to put it on.
He stopped, though—a rhinoceros-shaped Orphnoch stood in front of him, dragging an o's that looked lifeless.
"You can find a guy like you here."
Kusaka put on his belt.
"Wait."
Orphnoch transforms back into a middle-aged man in a white suit, his face covered with wrinkles like folds of rhinoceros epidermis.
"Is there anything else you and I can say?"
『Standy By』
"Yuji Kiba."
"Oh?" Kusaka stopped spinning the phone that was already plugged into his belt, "What, you know he and I have an account to settle?" ”
"It's not just you, I also have an account to settle with him, and when I think of you, I want it too, so why not an eye for an eye?"
Kusaka sneered, followed by Nishino.
