On the highway, an escort truck drove at a constant speed surrounded by four police cars.

Makoto Kyushu and Eliza were in the same police car, and the other two were in other police cars.

"Are the ghouls we're going to escort awesome? Unexpectedly, such a large formation was dispatched. Makoto Kyushu looked out the window boredly and asked casually.

He had thought that the so-called "ghoul" would be a two-meter-tall monster with a mouth full of fangs, otherwise it would not have been possible to have so many guards escorting him.

However, when he saw the appearance of the prisoner just now, he found that the other party was just a human being about the same size as himself, and even a little thin.

Eliza was reading a book on her tablet, her fingers tapping lightly on the screen:

"Ghouls aren't powerful, they can only be considered low-level spirit species... But they are the undead. ”

"The undead?" Makoto Kyushu was taken aback.

"That's right, ghouls are transformed by a dead human under some kind of curse, and the soul is very similar to a human." Eliza turned off the tablet and looked at him calmly:

"They are damned monsters, their bodies are almost incapable of death, but their souls are weakened very quickly. Ghouls can absorb human corpses and gain their memories after eating their souls. It's also the only way they can remain human, otherwise they'll quickly be reduced to an empty shell without reason. ”

"Many ghouls will try to disguise themselves as humans and blend in with human society after eating human corpses." Eliza continued:

"They are always hungry for fresh souls, and they have to eat them every six months to a year on average, so some ghouls will deliberately 'make corpses'. They are like dark mines buried in human society, and they must be cleared out as soon as possible. ”

Kyushu Makoto nodded thoughtfully, and then he understood why the Public Security Demon Hunting Section attached so much importance to this prisoner.

"Is there really no way to kill them?" Makoto Kyushu asked a little worriedly.

If there are really "immortal people" in this world, is it possible to bury them in the soil for hundreds of years and thousands of years, and when they are dug up, they can still run around the world alive?

Or would they be able to resurrect in a few days even if they were chopped into meat sauce?

"As far as I know, the only way to deal with them at the moment is to close them and seal them." Eliza raised her chin and thought for a moment:

After all, if there was a way to kill them, they wouldn't be called "immortal". ”

Yokohama is located in the eastern part of Kanagawa Prefecture in Japan and is the largest city in the prefecture, about half an hour's drive from Tokyo.

There were no dangers along the way, and there were no accidents.

However, after the escort convoy arrived in Yokohama, Kyushu Makoto found that the local security was indeed a bit chaotic.

Graffiti can be seen on the streets from time to time, and kicked down garbage cans and messy garbage are everywhere. The shops are almost half closed, and pedestrians are rare, and there is an inexplicable atmosphere everywhere.

The escort team arrived at the special shelter, and after handing over the prisoners, the mission was over.

After completing the mission, Yajo Ritsu plans to ask the Hachijo family to send a special car to pick him up, while Eliza prepares to take a taxi back to Tokyo.

However, after being persuaded by the other two, they decided to take the express train back.

There is no other reason, it is the evening rush hour after work, and taking the train back will inevitably hit a big blockage, and it is not as fast as the train.

The four of them arrived at the station, bought tickets for the train to Tokyo, and waited in the waiting passage.

The relationship between the two groups was not harmonious, so they deliberately stood on both sides of the waiting aisle, deliberately avoiding each other.

While waiting for the train to arrive, Eliza took her tablet out of her pocket and read a book to pass the time.

"Bang ——!"

"Oops!" Suddenly, she was hit from behind, and she almost fell off the railroad tracks.

After barely standing still, Eliza turned around in displeasure to find that she had been hit by a young man in a hooded blouse.

Strangely, this man is wearing a white smiling mask, which makes it impossible to see his face, and his behavior is sneaky.

Makoto Kyushu was attracted by her cry, and his eyes quickly looked over.

Under the gaze of the two of them, the hooded masked man picked up a women's purse and shook it, as if to show them off.

"That's my wallet!" Eliza subconsciously touched her pocket, pointed at him and exclaimed.

"Hee-hee, goodbye!" The hooded masked man let out a mocking laugh and immediately turned and ran.

"I'll arrest him, you call the police quickly!" Makoto Kyushu immediately got up and strode after him.

In the station where there are not many people, the two of them ran wildly one after the other.

The man in the hood seems to have a bit of parkour skills, sometimes jumping over railings, sometimes jumping off walls, and running like a monkey.

Makoto Kyushu has always followed closely behind, trying his best not to disappear from his vision.

chased all the way, but the distance between the two never shortened, and they were almost lost several times.

"I can't fight it!"

In a hurry, Kyushu Cheng had to take out four strengthening talismans from his pocket and secretly stick them inside the trouser legs.

Although the other party is a pickpocket, he is an ordinary person after all, so he cannot use psionic props on this occasion.

But Makoto Kyushu can't take care of so much. In the face of such a wicked person with moral corruption, it is necessary to do whatever it takes. It's a big deal to explain to Yin Yang Liao afterwards, saying that he is "suspicious" of seeing the other party using superpowers, so he has no choice but to take out psionic props to fight back.

There was a faint fluorescence on the rune paper, and Kyushu Makoto felt his legs become as light as feathers, and he ran vigorously.

The hooded masked man went around the subway a few times and soon came to the subway entrance.

"Hmph, I can't catch up~"

He turned back proudly, only to find that Kyushu Makoto was close behind, only a body distance from him, and he could almost reach out and grab it.

"Run~ Keep running!" Makoto Kyushu smiled and took out a pair of plastic scissors and threw them directly at him.

"Poof!" At such a close distance, the scissors successfully pierced the thigh of the hooded masked man, causing him to scream in pain and roll on the ground a few times before moving.

Makoto Kyushu slowed down and walked cautiously towards him.

"Shhhh Bastard, you forced me! The hooded masked man gritted his teeth in resentment and struggled to pull out a small syringe from his pocket, the liquid inside glowing with a lilac glow.

He bit the cap of the needle with his mouth and tried to stick it in his arm.

"What's that? Stop it! ”

Kyushu Makoto immediately rushed up and kicked him twice, kicking the needle in his hand with one kick, and hitting him in the face with another kick, and even kicking the mask to pieces.

Ten minutes later, the police arrived to arrest the pickpocket with a bloody face, and Makoto Kyushu disposed of the four talismans in advance, pretending that nothing had happened.

Eliza also quickly arrived at the scene and retrieved her purse.

She glanced at Makoto Kyushu's legs, as if she understood something, but she just snorted softly, pretending not to know anything.

Kyushu Cheng understood her eyes, and pretended not to know anything, and the two had a wonderful tacit understanding.

"Wait, this is" Suddenly, Eliza's gaze fell on a syringe containing purple liquid on the ground, which belonged to the pickpocket.

She carefully picked up the needle and whispered, "This seems to be a 'demonization potion', a forbidden drug that was very popular in the Kanto black market some time ago. ”

"Demon Elixir?" Makoto Kyushu felt that there was something wrong with the name.

"This is a supernatural elixir made from the "spirit" of the spirit species, that is, the "demonic nature", which can make people become half-demons in a short period of time and gain power beyond ordinary people." Eliza looked at the needle in her hand and thought for a moment:

"However, the side effects of this medicine are also great, long-term use will pollute the user's soul, make them lose their humanity, and degenerate into half-human, half-demon monsters."

"I remember that some time ago, I caught an underworld organization smuggling this forbidden drug, which seems to be called the Kazama Group."

"Kazama Group!" Makoto Kyushu reacted to the name: "So they are still related to supernatural cases? ”

"They don't seem to know what they're smuggling, but they end up being treated as "supernatural criminals" and don't want to live in peace for the rest of their lives. Eliza snorted lightly and said with a smile:

"Since this thief has a demonization potion in his hand, then he is also a supernatural criminal, and it is not a violation of the rules for you to catch him with my talisman just now."

"Ahem, that's a blessing." Makoto Kyushu coughed a few times in embarrassment.

After the two chatted for a few words, a young policeman walked up to them and said with some admiration:

"You're a traveler from somewhere else, right? It's a shame that you were able to catch the Flyers. ”

"The Flying Gang? Could it be that there is an organization behind this pickpocket? Kyushu Cheng was not good, and stepped forward vigilantly to ask.

"Yes, Yokohama has been in a lot of danger lately, so you better go back quickly." The young policeman sighed and pretended to advise:

"In particular, don't approach the town of Shoumin, which is now the territory of the 'Three Princes of the Wicked'."
