The setting of the sun does not mean that the quiet moment has arrived for the city, on the contrary, the darkness seems to be a protective color, as the sun sets, the moon rises, and the dirty things that were originally illuminated by the sun are slowly coming out, as if for them, the moon is their sun.

In a wasteland in the middle of the mountain forest, a figure was constantly walking back and forth in a patch of grass, as if he was determining something.

"Mr. Castor! Come back with me! Dagu looked at Castor, who was lowering his head and seemed to be studying something, very anxious, but he helplessly understood that Mr. Casto would not listen to him, although it seemed to be much gentler than Brother Masaki Keigo, but in fact, Dagu knew that like Brother Masaki Keigo, Mr. Casor also had his own ideas,

Except for Captain Megumi and Director Sawai, it is difficult for others to change, thinking of this, Dagu is also a little speechless, I don't know if it is good luck or bad luck, among so many people looking for Castor, he was the first to discover Castor's location.

Not long after Casto disappeared from his room, the TPC began to search, the police department began to call up surveillance from all over the country, and the victory team began to patrol a large area.

Theoretically, if Casto or a person with superpowers wants to avoid inspections, it will be difficult for TPC to find them in the short term, but Dagu's plane has just flown over the suburbs when he feels a strange energy,

And when he came down, he immediately found Mr. Castor's figure,

The only problem is that in this place, for some reason, the signal is not very good.

Da Gu looked down at the PDI who kept making a 'sizzle' sound, and said even more helplessly, "No, in order to ensure communication, the PDI of the victory team has a variety of built-in communication modes, in addition to the most ordinary signal towers, what satellite phones and telegraph modes are, theoretically it is impossible to send no information at all." ”

As he spoke, Dagu also lowered his head and looked at the ground trying to find what Mr. Casto was looking for, and after a while, he shook his head, he found nothing, except for the grass on the ground and. Rubble and cement chips?

Da Gu seemed to realize something, lowered his body, carefully picked up the dirt on the ground, grabbed a handful and looked at it by the moonlight, then frowned, his eyes began to glow, and with the light, he saw under the ground covered with weeds, and this look, his gaze suddenly became even more unbelievable,

He turned his head back and forth to scan the ground of the nearby land, and after three seconds, he blinked again, and as the light disappeared from his eyes, he also asked in surprise, "How is that possible?!" Why is there a foundation under the soil here? ”

Da Gu didn't believe in evil, his eyes lit up again and he glanced around, but he didn't find anything, and this made his eyes full of incredulity, you must know that the surroundings are not even buildings, and there is not even a trace of modernization.

However, under the ground of this grassland, there are foundations at intervals, complete groundwater facilities, and even buried underground pipelines that look like commercial use

Dagu looked at Mr. Casto, who kept pacing back and forth on the grass without saying a word, and asked very suspiciously, "Mr. Casto, have you found anything?" Can you tell me what's going on here? Why does it feel like."

Before he finished his words, Casor raised his head as if he had finally determined something, but the moment Da Gu and Kasto looked at each other, Da Gu suddenly had a strange feeling, he subconsciously trembled, and then suddenly whispered in confusion, "What's the matter?" Why do I suddenly feel a bout. Fear? ”

"I think you've learned a lot."

Suddenly, Da Gu's voice came from Kasto's ears, I don't know why, Da Gu felt that Mr. Casto's voice was a little low and hoarse today, but he didn't think much about it, but nodded, "Yes, Brother Zhengmu and the other members of the victory team have taught me a lot of things, and compared to when I first entered the victory team, now I have improved a lot in all aspects." ”

As if it was an illusion, Dagu felt that when he finished saying this, he saw a trace of envy in Mr. Casto's eyes, and before he could react, Casto had already turned around and said in that deep voice,

"The Victory Team and Keigo Masaki are really good, you can learn from them, it's an improvement for you, but it's not enough, you need to learn more, from people other than them, you need to learn something that they haven't mastered either."

Dagu wanted to ask what Castor was referring to, but again, without giving him a chance at all, Mr. Castor walked straight towards the forest, and disappeared into the darkness in just a few steps.

How? Dagu followed quickly, and he had a feeling that if he didn't follow now, in a few seconds at most, Mr. Casto would be able to get rid of him completely.

Although there is no road to walk, but this mountain road is not steep, for Da Gu, who has experienced a lot of exercise, such a mountain road, even if he has lost the power of light now, can easily walk for a day and a night,

However, the further he went, the more confused Dagu's expression became, because that feeling reappeared, that feeling that something was wrong, as if he had discovered something underneath that wasteland, and he felt that there was something wrong with this mountain forest.

Again, his eyes lit up and he tried to find something invisible to the naked eye, but to his disappointment, this time he found nothing.

"There is such a thing as power. How easy it is to make people arrogant, even if you are a big gu

If you feel something abnormal, what you should do is to look at it with your heart, not with your superpowers. ”

Da Gu's ears heard Casto's deep voice again, stunned for a moment, he raised his head to look ahead, and then noticed that he didn't know when, Mr. Casto, who had been walking forward, had stopped and was looking at him not far away.

"Strength makes people arrogant. What does it mean? Did I use perspective? Feeling the gaze coming from not far away, Dagu took a deep breath, calmed down and 'turned off' his perspective, and instead looked at the surrounding mountains and forests with his eyes again, trying to find the bottom of the strange discomfort that made him feel strange.

Mind to see?

Suddenly, Dagu seemed to think of something, slowly raised his head, and then kept scanning around, as if checking something, just a few breaths, he lowered his head again and looked at Casto,

"There is something wrong with the natural environment here. It doesn't matter if it's vegetation or animals, or even the entire ecosystem. The animals here have not even formed a normal ecological chain of mountain forests, and the tallest of these trees are only a dozen years old. More than ten years ago, someone once set fire to the entire mountain forest. ”

Casto nodded and didn't speak, and walked back in a certain direction, Dagu walked up quickly, but the look on his face was even more puzzled, "Is it a fire?" But no, even a fire can't completely destroy the ecosystem. Wait a minute!? ”

Suddenly, a somewhat ridiculous thought flashed through Dagu's mind, and he suddenly thought of the overgrown wasteland not far away, where there were still facilities underground, but there was nothing left on the ground.

"It's like. Someone ploughed everything here with small tactical atomic bombs."

Dagu opened PDI, he really wanted to get in touch with the headquarters, he needed to know what was going on here, but he was very happy, he didn't know why, the communication still didn't work here.

Casto didn't mean to answer Dagu at all, he kept walking forward, Dagu followed him, looking at the trees around him that kept sweeping backwards, and suddenly he was a little uncertain, he wasn't sure whether he was 'going forward' or 'going in circles',

Originally, it would have been difficult to find a reference in the mountains and forests, and the trees here are all the same, so it is difficult to find anything that can be remembered at a glance.

I don't know how long I walked, and finally when Da Gu felt a headache, suddenly there was a rustling sound not far away,

Da Gu fixed his eyes, a man with a flashlight came out of nowhere, stood in the moonlight and looked at the two, Da Gu's eyes lit up and felt the breath of the other party, after confirming that the other party was an earthling, he carefully identified the other party's clothes, "You are. Someone from the police department? ”

The light of the flashlight swept over Ogu and Casto, and it seemed that he noticed the uniforms on the two of them, and the other party turned down the light of the flashlight and moved it to the side, and then said in great surprise, "Is it Mr. Casto, the advisor of the victory team, and Mr. Oko, the team member?" I am a member of the police department and I am on a search mission. It's the search from above."

Da Gu glanced at Casto with his spare eyes, trying to find something from the other party's face, but Casto, who was obviously beside him a second, suddenly stood in the dark at this moment, and couldn't see the expression on his face at all, sighed, Da Gu turned to look at the man who suddenly appeared, and was just about to step forward, but Kasto's previous words suddenly echoed in his ears,

'If you feel abnormal, what you should do is to look at it with your heart, not with your superpowers'

Subconsciously, Dagu squinted his eyes at the other party, and recalled what had just happened in his mind, and then, he stood in place and said to the man with the flashlight, "No, let's not talk about whether the director of the police department Yoshioka will order people to find someone in the mountains, even if it does, you can't recognize Mr. Casto so quickly."

"It's true that Director Yoshioka didn't specifically order someone to find someone, but he sent out a picture of Mr. Castor." The man said very seriously, "And I didn't recognize Mr. Castor, I just subconsciously inquired because of your uniform, as a member of the police department, although not as elite as the people of your victory team, but we are also trained,

Even though it's only a cursory glance at the photos, we can still remember the appearance of the whole thing."

"What you say seems to be true, but that's the problem, because if you can fully explain why you know Mr. Castor, then you can't explain at all why you can call me by name." Dagu said as he began to adjust the attack pattern of the Victory Haipa gun,

"Although our victory team is not generally involved in normal human combat, if you don't tell the truth, then I can only use anesthesia mode to let you sleep for a while."

Seeing Da Gu take out the gun so decisively, Castor, who was not far away, was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously nodded, and at the same time, the man with the flashlight was also stunned by Da Gu's sudden action of pulling out the gun, slowly raised his hand and took a few steps back, and said helplessly while retreating,

"In the absence of a paranormal event, the Victory Team is not qualified to interfere with the mission of the Police Department, so let's take a step back and wait until we get back to the base, okay? You should have noticed it. At present, our communication equipment can no longer contact the base. ”

"What was your original job?"

"Patrol this mountainous area, but I can't tell you anything else, if you want to know, go back and ask your superiors." The man scanned the direction of Castor with his flashlight, and said, "Of course, I believe that with Mr. Casto's qualifications, he should know what this place is for, after all, he should have been involved in this thing back then."

Dagu subconsciously wanted to ask Mr. Casto what happened here, but his throat just moved and he quickly held back, believing that if he needed to, Mr. Casto would tell him all this,

In comparison, he still felt that the man in front of him was even more suspicious, the other party had something to do with this mountain forest, and he appeared here so coincidentally, everything seemed so abnormal.

Just when Dagu confronted the other party, Casto didn't know when he left from the place where the other party's flashlight swept before, he stood in the dark, no one could see his gaze clearly, the light of the flashlight seemed to be shaking back and forth in the mountains and forests intentionally or unintentionally, as if he intended to lock Casto's position.

Da Gu noticed the other party's action of holding the flashlight, gritted his teeth, and began to tense the muscles of his calves, while estimating the current distance, while simulating the fastest way to knock down the opponent in his mind,

All this is very hidden, and the activity of the muscles should theoretically be completely covered by the victory team uniform on Da Gu's body, but at the moment when Da Gu's muscles were tense and entered the state, the man opposite seemed to notice something, and his eyes became sharp when he opened his mouth, as if he was going to do something,

At the moment when Dagu and the other party were about to erupt, the sound of rustling leaves suddenly sounded in their ears, and by the time the two of them reacted, Casto had already appeared in the middle of their sight,

"Don't be in a hurry, you all need more information."

Dagu turned his head in surprise, he heard the meaning of Castor's words, just when he was about to do it, the person with the flashlight opposite seemed to be planning to do something,

However, these were not the things that surprised him, what really surprised him was that he had not noticed at all when Mr. Castor had come out of the darkness between the two of them.

Without any use of superpowers, Dagu determined that Mr. Castor's walk just now did not use his superpowers, but simply relied on human feet.

But this made Dagu feel even more confused and even frightened, he didn't understand how Mr. Castor did it, how he could do it by relying only on the human body, shuttling back and forth in this darkness,

Dagu didn't even realize how many times Mr. Casto's position had changed, as if Mr. Castor had suddenly learned some way to blend into the Dark Shadows.

The man with the flashlight on the other side seemed to be slightly better than Dagu, and he seemed to see slightly more than Dagu for Casto's movement in the dark, but although he was not as surprised as Dagu, his face was still full of vigilance,

He nodded, and suddenly pointed his flashlight in one direction, which was a place with a slightly fewer trees and looked like a clearing, and straight, he walked towards that place, Casto followed, and Dagu hesitated for a moment, and followed.

Although it's not big, but it's more or less empty, the three of them are standing here, they can see each other's faces, and even be able to see each other's expressions clearly, Dagu is not sure if this is a good thing, but he still said, "I don't know if you are from the police department, but I want to know, why are you here at night"

"I didn't lie to you, I did come here to patrol, but the reason for the patrol is more complicated, I can't tell you why I'm patrolling here, I can only tell you that I also noticed that there was a problem with the signal here, so I launched a patrol here."

The man with the flashlight sighed, then shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that I would meet you here, I originally planned to see if I could find the cause of the signal interference, and then go back to report to the headquarters." ”

"As for the Great Gu team, is it strange that you ask me why I know you? The people of the victory team are relatively famous, especially you Dagu, you are a member of the victory team who came out of the transport team, your fame is very big among those of us who are eager to enter the victory team, you must know that you are our role model, we all hope to be able to enter the victory team like you"

"First of all, I'm sure I don't have that much fame in TPC yet." For this person's words, Da Gu gave his own evaluation, "Secondly, even if you really have this kind of fame, your words still don't make any sense.

I really haven't read all of the specific enforcement regulations of the police department, but I do know one thing, and that is if this place really needs to be patrolled alone, and the secrecy regulations are so high.

The first time something goes wrong, you shouldn't go into the mountains to look for anomalies, but you should immediately look for a way to ask for help from the headquarters and bases."

Dagu's gun was already pointed at the opposite side, "And, as a highly secret place that requires special personnel to be stationed, does the police department even have a wired telephone?" ”

"Is it hard to understand that the corded phone is cut off?" The other side seemed to be a little annoyed by Da Gu's words, and his eyes kept looking at Casto, "Mr. Castor, either like this, let's leave here together, I'll report your matter to the headquarters, you explain to Da Gu what happened here, and by the way, let's wait for someone to check why the signal here is lost?" ”

While speaking, the man stretched out his hand to Kasto's shoulder, Dagu looked at Castor who didn't make the slightest movement, directly stretched out his hand and grabbed the other party's arm, and then pointed a gun at the other party and shouted, "Don't move!" Hands up and I'm out of here! ”

The man on the opposite side looked at his arm that was grabbed by Da Gu, glanced at Casto, and then looked at Da Gu, and then sighed silently, the fire flashed in his eyes, and said in pain, "Take it easy, I don't have any malicious intent, I just want to know where the thing is hidden."

Listening to the other party's voice, Dagu suddenly felt in a trance, and he felt a very familiar feeling, as if he had encountered a similar situation before.

Suddenly, Casto's voice rang out, "Have you Kiri Elrods chosen a new prophet?" ”

Da Gu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly broke free of the other party's arm, he finally reacted to what the familiar feeling was just now, that is only when facing the mental interference of the Kiri Elrod people, the state of consciousness in a trance,

Moreover, I don't know if it was the other party who developed a new ability, or if the people of Kiri Elrod already possessed this ability, Dagu recalled the scene just now and frowned a little uncertainly, just when he came into contact with the other party, he felt as if his consciousness had been invaded.

"Prophet?! Don't compare me to that kind of guy! Call me Hunter!! The man seemed to be a little irritated by Casto's title, turned his head to look at Casto, and said with a dissatisfied expression, "Unlike the people of the old era, we are a perfect combination of humans and Kiri Elrodians, we are new humans and new Kiri Elrodians, we are base people, we are going to overthrow the TPC and build a new world." ”

Dagu was stunned by the amount of information in the other party's words, and the self-proclaimed hunter seized the moment and reached out to Castor, a smile appeared on his face as his hand made contact with Casto, "Let me see where the Zilda gas that you hid with your own hands is." ”

"Mr. Castor be careful, as soon as that guy comes into contact with someone, he will." Before Da Gu finished his words, he suddenly paused, because he saw a very strange scene,

The image of Mr. Castor being controlled did not appear in his mind, on the contrary, as the other party came into contact with Mr. Castor, for a moment, the self-proclaimed hunter, the self-proclaimed new human, and the self-proclaimed base man suddenly had fear written on his face.

"What are you!? It's so black, it's so black!! ”

The hunter let go of his grip on Casto's hand, the expression on his face was full of fear, he subconsciously retreated, and the flashlight in his hand fell to the ground, "Who the hell are you!?" ”

He put on a fighting posture, from head to toe, his body began to change rapidly, and a phantom appeared on his body, which was originally required the merger of countless Kiri Elrodians to appear, and belonged to the fighting posture of the Kiri Elrod people.

But at the moment when he was about to transform, there was a sudden 'bang', and the flashlight on the ground was shattered by an attack from nowhere, and the light disappeared in this clearing at once, and everything around him was suddenly shrouded in darkness.

The change of light made Da Gu subconsciously close his eyes, in fact, he could see things in the dark, but the instinctive reaction still made him need to close his eyes and adjust his eyes to adapt to the change of light, 'bang', when Da Gu opened his eyes, he saw a scene that made him amazing,

The hunter was already lying on the ground, and Mr. Casto didn't know when he had returned to the darkness, as if he had done nothing.

"What the hell are you!?"

"I am Baxterman!"
