Chapter 58: Acknowledging Weakness

Coffee shop.

Blue Sky Club Nagashima frowned, and looked at the bandaged but still lively red tone with everyone.

Obviously he looked half-dead before being sent to the hospital.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"It's okay, it's just a small injury, and my Hongyin won't be defeated so easily, because I'm immortal, haha!"

Hongyin also laughed a few times insolently, but the corner of his eye couldn't help but glance at Xia Chuan, who was drinking coffee alone.

It hurts.

The first time he transformed into an ixa, it was so terrifying, it felt like he had been shocked by 100,000 volts, and the pain was so painful that he almost ran out of breath.

How did this guy manage to keep his face from changing?

Is it because of facial paralysis?

"How can it be okay?" Yuri Aso grabbed Hongyin by the arm.

She watched Hongyin also be put in the ambulance, and it is said that she almost had convulsions at that time.

"Shhh

Hongyin also gasped, and her arm felt like the skin had been torn off, but she still forced a smile on her face.

"Wait a minute, I went to the toilet, and sure enough, I still have an allergy to coffee......"

"I'm not welcome you here!" The boss was so angry that he wanted to kick Hongyin out of the coffee shop.

"Leave him alone."

The second wolf leaned against the window with a gloomy face, his mind full of hatred for ROOK.

"The most important thing now is to find ROOK, whether it's to avenge Yuri or stop that guy from continuing to commit murder."

"That's right," Shimago frowned and muttered, "Just now, a new victim appeared, Tomosa, hurry up and return IXA to Kamiei......"

Aso Yuri had basically determined Hongyin's physical condition, and looked at Shimago accusatorily when he heard the words.

"Does Mr. Shimago really think that ixa has no side effects? This incident has nothing to do with Mr. Kaminaga, ROOK is up to me to take down! ”

Without waiting for Shimago's response, Yuri Aso pursed his lips and ran out of the coffee shop.

"I'm going to kill him this time!"

"Tomosato!"

Shimago's face was helpless.

"It's really like her mother, second wolf, can you go and see it? I'm sorry for you. ”

"Of course it's no problem, I won't let Yuri have an accident."

The second wolf glanced at Xia Chuan vaguely and left the coffee shop in response.

He had given up on the idea of cooperation and decided to take the IXA himself to transform.

"Whew!"

The store fell silent for a while, and even the music did not continue to play.

Xia Chuan took his last sip of coffee.

It is said that coffee is refreshing, but it has no effect on him, but the previous feeling of exhaustion has reappeared.

It feels like I'm going to leave this copy plane at any moment.

"I'll check it out too." Xia Chuan got up and said.

"Jinyong," Shimago said solemnly, "Yuri is right, you'd better not continue to use ixa for a short time, let the second wolf come." ”

Xia Chuan did not respond.

The second wolf looks rough on the surface, but his mind is very cunning, not only concealing his identity, but also pretending to help Aso Yuri take revenge, and he also seems to show weakness to him everywhere.

How did such a character later be "domesticated" by Hongyin?

"Boom!"

The thunder spread over the neighborhood at night, the cumulonimbus clouds were getting thicker and thicker, and there was already half a figure on the road.

Bored to the extreme, ROOK became more and more irritable, staring at the surrounding shops with a vicious gaze.

"It's boring, what's interesting?"

“ROOK!”

Yuri Aso appeared across the road, gritted her teeth and took out an ixa fist, but in the face of ROOK's familiar leather back, this time she even seemed to have lost the courage to step forward.

His legs and feet were weak, and he could only tremble as he watched ROOK break into the izakaya and commit murder.

"I ......"

"Bang!"

WITHOUT WAITING FOR ASO TO THINK TOO MUCH, ROOK'S STRONG BODY SUDDENLY FLEW UPSIDE DOWN IN THE HEAVY BLOW, AND HE TOOK A FEW STEPS BACK BEFORE STOPPING.

"Who is it?!"

ROOK WAS STUNNED FOR A MOMENT, THEN SUDDENLY BECAME FURIOUS AND ROARED VICIOUSLY INTO THE STORE.

"Who the hell is it?!"

"Aren't you bored?"

Natsukawa took off his blazer, unbuttoned his collar and walked out of the izakaya.

"I'll play with you."

"This guy ......"

ROOK CLUTCHED HIS ACHING CHEST, HIS EYES SLIGHTLY CONDENSED.

"Tooth Blood? Or other demons? Don't you know that I'm the ROOK of the four cadres?! ”

"Of course I do."

Xia Chuan rubbed his wrist joints, turned sideways to avoid ROOK's angry pounce, his left leg was raised instantly, and the top of his knee hit ROOK's waist and abdomen fiercely.

"But I'm a human, not a demon."

"Bastard!"

ROOK'S FACE CHANGED BEFORE HE COULD START HIS COUNTERATTACK, AND AFTER HOLDING HIS STOMACH AND POUNCED AGAIN, HE RAISED HIS HANDS WITH A HIDEOUS EXPRESSION.

"Die!"

After a short period of accumulation, a shock light bullet condensed, grazing Xia Chuan's side and shattering the izakaya sign.

"Bang!"

"Is it Kamiyong?!"

Aso Yuri came back to his senses in surprise, and hurriedly shouted in surprise when he saw this.

"Be careful!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Xia Chuan dodged the light bullets one after another, clenched his fist and collided head-on with ROOK.

I have to say that even in human form, ROOK's body is not weak at all, and even if he has brute strength, he can actually shoot energy bombs.

"Huh!"

AFTER A SERIES OF HAND-TO-HAND FIGHTS, ROOK AND NATSUKAWA ROLLED AND FELL TO THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AT THE SAME TIME, EACH WITH FAINT PAIN IN THEIR HANDS AND FEET.

As if he felt that this would not have the upper hand, ROOK's neck showed a glass color, and he changed his body with a cruel smile.

"Kaminaga!"

Yuri Aso finally took a step and threw an ixa punch at the same time as ROOK transformed.

"Next!"

"Huh?"

ROOK glanced back at Yuri Aso, and watched suspiciously, as the ixa fist slashed across a parabola and was grabbed by Natsukawa with a raised hand.

This thing was pointed at him as a weapon by the human woman on the other side, and it looked like a hand-held firearm, capable of sending out electromagnetic shock waves, and was later used by a human to transform, but it didn't seem to be too threatening.

Wait, transformation?

"Boom!"

There was another thunderous roar in the night sky, and when the lightning shone brightly, the torrential rain finally poured down, and the neighborhood was instantly shrouded in layers of rain.

“Ready!”

“Fi-s-t-O-n!”

ROOK's body shook slightly in the sound of the rain electronic sound, and he stared directly at Xia Chuan's embedded fist clasp on the white ixa armor.

Instead of affecting IXA's outfit, the hazy rain made it even more divine in the light of lightning, like a god paladin about to judge sin.

"Hah! What about transformation?! ”

ROOK GROWLED AND SHIFTED HIS SHOULDERS, HIS ARMS SPREADING THEIR SHARP CLAWS, FIRING LIKE A MACHINE GUN ONCE AGAIN.

One by one, the claw thorns burst through, wanting to attack Xia Chuan like they did against Hongyinya.

"Bang bang bang!"

Xia Chuan's gaze slowed, and he instantly raised his arm armor to stop all the claw thorns.

They were not allowed to attack the IXA key nodes.

“ixa!”

After inserting the whistle in the falling rain, Natsukawa clicked and pulled out the IXA fist full of energy.

The short fight just now had already made him understand that other attacks would not have much effect on ROOK, and it was better to have a direct special move, even if he couldn't die, he could be hit hard, and it would be much easier to fight again.

"Zizi!"

Xia Chuan strode through the torrential rain, the fist in his hand crackling.

There are two ways to attack with a fist, one is to send energy bullets, but it is easier to dodge, and the other is to directly attack the target's body, focusing all the energy on one point.

This version of the IXA system does not have enough attack capabilities, and the attack method is single, which is not suitable for using energy bombs to attack.

"Bastard!"

ROOK's attack failed, and after lounging slightly, he roared and broke through the rain curtain to take the initiative to pounce.

It's also fighting IXA, and he doesn't believe he can't fight this time.

"Bang ——!"

There was a boom and an explosion of electricity in the torrential rain on the road.

Raindrops burst into disarray.

Aso Yuri also had to avoid his gaze in the dazzling light, and when he turned back again, only Natsukawa ixa was left in the rain, and the lion's tooth bloodghost ROOK was nowhere to be found.

"Killed, killed?" Yuri Aso glared back at Natsukawa.

That's what IXA is......

"Not yet."

Xia Chuan quietly glanced at the depths of the heavy rain, lifted the transformation, and the IXA armor automatically converged into a half-cross, and disappeared with the belt.

"But it shouldn't be far, and the trauma just now won't be good even if it's ROOK."

"I'm sorry."

Aso Yuri stopped talking, biting his lip with a complicated expression, and he didn't know whether it was rain or tears on his face.

"I just ......"

"Understandable."

Xia Chuan shook his head and went to a roadside izakaya with Aso Yuri to take shelter from the rain.

The movement just now made the customers run away, and the store was empty, and even the owner didn't know where he went.

Looking at Yuri Aso, who was curled up and clenched his arms, Xia Chuan casually handed over the coat hanging by the counter.

"It's normal to be afraid, you don't have to force yourself, admit your weakness to become strong."

"Listen to the sound too," Aso Yuri didn't put on his coat, wiped the corner of his eyes and asked Xia Chuan, "You knew from the beginning that I couldn't change?" It's for me to see clearly......"

"I just don't want you to keep pestering."

Xia Chuan still didn't find the boss in the end, so he could only take out a few coins to settle the bill.

"Mr. Kaminaga."

"Go back, don't catch a cold......"

Xia Chuan put away his wallet and was about to find an umbrella to leave, but when he turned around, he was suddenly thrown into his arms by Yuri Aso.

"Can you ...... for the time being? Let me hold it for a while? ”

Aso's voice choked, and he trembled and leaned against Natsukawa.

For a moment, Xia Chuan didn't stop walking, his face tightened, and his mind inexplicably flashed Asami Hiroko's gritted teeth and stared at him.

Hiss!

"I'm sorry, because of the IXA thing, I seem to be a little willful."

Aso couldn't control his emotions and burst into tears, and hugged Natsukawa tightly with his arms.

"The president is right, and sure enough, Mr. Kaminaga is the best candidate for the IXA dresser......"

"Wow!"

Xia Chuan opened his mouth, and suddenly there was a faint light on his body, and an even stronger sense of exhaustion came to his heart again, and the continuous shouts of Hiroko Asami sounded repeatedly in his ears.

"Kaminaga!"

Illusion?

Xia Chuan recovered from exhaustion, and when he raised his hand, he found that he was constantly blurring, as if he was about to disappear from this world.

"Mr. Kaminaga?"

Yuri Aso also found out about the situation, hurriedly let go of his hands, and watched with a trembling voice as Xia Chuan's body became transparent.

"How-how can this be?! Mr. Kaminaga——! ”

"Bang!"

Ixa landed and rolled to Aso's feet.

……

"Kamiyong?"

In this world, outside the door, Hiroko shouted again.

Xia Chuan suddenly woke up and sat up, looked around at the bedroom furnishings, and then looked down at the shuttle on his waist.

I actually came back halfway.

However, the connection to the Kiva dungeon has not disappeared, but the shuttle has reported a message that it has cooled down for several days.

It seems that this shuttle is not a failure.

"Kamiyong?"

Hiroko Asami knocked on the door in confusion, and was about to make another call, when the door clicked open.

"What are you doing here?"

Looking at Xia Chuan's sweaty appearance, Asami Hiroko looked strange and peeked indoors.

"So much sweat ......"

"I used a shuttle."

Xia Chuan wiped his sweat and said.

"How do you have the villa key, though?"
