Chapter 423 Chapter 424 Kobe Barrier

Kobe City, Shinko-cho, Chuo-ku, Kobe Ohashi.

"Beep beep!"

Several local police cars roared past with their sirens blaring.

"Why are they the police again? It's the third wave today."

"Didn't the community notice say that there may be murderers wandering around our area, telling us not to go out at night as much as possible."

Returning home from the supermarket, housewives carrying vegetable baskets and holding children whispered to each other with worried faces:
"I heard from my high school classmates at the police station that there have been several disappearances in the past two months. Could it be that they were caused by murderers?"

"It's really scary! There was a gas pipe leak in a mansion in Kitano Town last week, and the whole house burned down."

The gossip among housewives is the best, and the city of Kobe has indeed not been peaceful in recent months.

"Do you think it could be a monster causing trouble? Just like the Hundred Demons Night Parade in Kyoto a few days ago..."

A middle-aged woman holding a Shiba Inu said suddenly, and the scene suddenly became silent.

"Oh, Reika, don't say such scary things."

"Our city of Kobe is actually very peaceful. We should be worrying unfounded."

Several other housewives were in a panic and chattering hurriedly.

Happiness comes from comparison. Compared with Kyoto City, which encountered the Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts, what happened recently in Kobe City can only be described as trivial.

Kobe City and Kyoto belong to the Keihanshin City Circle, one of Japan's three largest urban areas, and are not far apart. When Kyoto's 260 million citizens were evacuated, many people were arranged in Kobe City.

Maybe these housewives have relatives who came from Kyoto to seek refuge.

Fortunately, the government issued an announcement that the Night Parade in Kyoto has ended. Although the place was in a mess, the urban area of ​​Kyoto was not seriously damaged, and people from Kyoto who had taken refuge outside have begun to return home one after another.

A dozen meters in front of them, a male high school student carrying large and small bags with bandaged hands, his eyes flickered and he felt a little guilty when he heard this.

After all, at least one disappearance case that occurred in Kobe City is inextricably linked to Kurogeki Kaizo himself.

Compared with two months ago, Kurogetsu Kaizo's height has grown by half a head, his complexion is ruddy, his muscles are plump, and his body is stronger and stronger.

The first impression I get from looking at it is that it is the elite of the sports community.

More importantly, Kurogeki is now in high spirits and has a completely different confidence in his movements than before.

After the battle with Zabuza Momochi who was summoned by Noro-senpai, Kuroyukitsu Kazuzo was seriously injured and fainted. When he woke up, he found himself lying at home.

And he was unscathed.

After passing the Kobe Bridge, Noro's body disappeared, leaving no trace except for the hole made by Renka Omot.

Kuroge Kaizo asked Mr. Akai if he had taken care of everything.

Akai said that after the fierce battle, he exhausted all his strength and fell into a deep sleep without doing anything.

Kuroyukihime had no choice but to bury his doubts in his heart.

As the first guinea pig selected, he would naturally receive preferential treatment, and someone did not want this false Holy Grail War to fall into the official spotlight too early, so he cleaned up the scene.

Originally, Kurogetsu Kaizo was initially considering surrendering to the Supernatural Police Department, but he was hesitant because he was afraid of being regarded as a murderer.

Kurogete Teruzo returned to No. [-] Boys' High School to continue his studies in fear.

Not surprisingly, the disappearance of Noro-senpai, a popular figure on campus, caused quite a stir in the school.

Kurogane Kaizo was also questioned once by the police.

However, because Noro-senpai attacked Kurogetsu Kazuzo on the Kobe Bridge with murderous intentions and had collected all the clues beforehand, and the heavy fog created by Momochi Zabuza's Kirigakure Technique obscured his vision, the agency was too clever and did not leave any clues. How many clues are there?

The Japanese police were as perfunctory as ever. After a few days of investigation with no results, they hastily concluded the case as missing.

After Noro-senpai's whereabouts became unknown, Teacher Arisaki also transferred to another school and left half a month later.

After falling out of love again, Heitiehuisan turned his grief and anger into strength, and under the guidance of Mr. Akai, he began to play iron.

Also to guard against another attack like Zabuza Momochi, Kurogane Kazuzo also needs to become stronger.

Mr. Akai began to strongly suggest that Kuroyukihime grow a watermelon hair like him, put on green tights, and run thirty laps around Kobe City during morning exercises.

Kurogane Kaizo naturally refused with a dark face.

Start with a basic exercise plan. Do 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, and 100 squats every day, then run 10 kilometers long-distance, and then strengthen your muscles and practice physical skills.

Under Mr. Akai's training, Kurogetsu Kaizo's physical fitness has greatly improved, almost surpassing the limits of mortals.

Hei Tiehui was a frivolous young man in his third year, and he was also a martial arts practitioner. He was naturally bloody and could not repeat the life trajectory of ordinary people step by step as before.

In recent times, Kurogetsu Kaizo has become prominent in school, and coaches from several sports clubs have taken a fancy to his athletic ability and offered him an olive branch.

If this trajectory continues, even if Kuroyuki Kaizo doesn't reveal that there is a transcendent soul like Mr. Akai hidden behind him, he can still be specially recruited by a prestigious school as a sports student, become a sports star, and change his destiny in the factory.

"I just didn't expect...Hyakki Yakou, Abe Seimei!"

A dark look appeared in Kurogetsu Kaizan's eyes, and he immediately quickened his pace, crossed the Kobe Bridge, and arrived at his house in Port Island North Park.

After entering the entrance hall, Kurogane Kaizo quickly put the large and small bags on his body into the storage room.

What he purchased were cans, energy bars, self-heating foods and other shelf-stable and high-energy foods, which were enough for a month.

In addition, there are bandages, medicines and other emergency supplies.

Golden light flashed, and a watermelon head with thick eyebrows and a big nose appeared next to Kurogane Kaizo.

"Mr. Akai."

Kurogane Kaizo put down what he was holding and shouted.

"Young man, I never imagined that you would be involved in such a crisis." Mr. Akai patted Kurogetsu Kaizo on the shoulder, with a complicated look on his face.

"Mr. Akai, if it wasn't for you, I might have been beaten to death long ago."

Mr. Akai showed a hearty smile, gave a thumbs up, and said with a smile:
"Being not afraid of challenges and facing them head on is also youth!"

A few months after Mr. Akai attached himself to Kurogetsu Kaizo, he had vague and unclear memories of his life, and he had only a vague idea of ​​the reason why his soul was summoned to Japan.

It was not until after Hyakki Yakou that the mastermind behind Abe Seimei finally surfaced. The specific rules of the death game she had drawn up appeared in the minds of all the winners, including Tosu Hero and Kurogane Teruzo, at the same time.

This is a carnival of cannibalism until only one person remains!

At the beginning, Kurogetsu Kaizo was naturally full of fear and panic.

But he also knew that the matter had come to this, and blaming others would not help.

We can only prepare early.

Kurogeki Kaizo's own residence is within the designated boundary area, so it can be used as a safe spot first.

"If you don't fight, you can't live. If you don't kill, you will be killed."

Teacher Akai twisted his thick eyebrows, sighed, and said, "I never imagined that I would be forced to kill someone after death..."

Kurogetsu Kaizo looked at Akai with some admiration and some worry.

After two months of getting along with him day and night, Kurogetsu Kaizo knew that Mr. Akai was a decent man, full of passion, and aboveboard. He was a positive figure who was the protagonist of a Hong Kong martial arts film.

This kind of battle royale must make Teacher Akai extremely angry.

He did not kill innocent people indiscriminately just to keep himself alive.

"There are less than two days left before the death game set by Abe Seimei begins. Mr. Akai, what should we do now?"

"Find like-minded allies and work together to overthrow this death game."

Kuroyukizu was stunned when he heard this, and asked incomprehensibly:
"But in the end, isn't there only one person left to survive? Everyone is a competitor to each other..."

"We can't let Abe Seimei lead us by the nose."

Teacher Akai was rough and yet subtle, he pondered for a moment and said:
"Abe Seimei instigated us, the dead who were returned to the world by her, to kill each other. She must have ulterior motives. Our fight is just what she wants."

Kurogeki's face was uncertain.

After all, one of the rules is that if a winner is not decided before the limited time, all the winners will die suddenly.

Although Kurogetsu Kaizo didn't want to kill anyone, he didn't want to die at a young age.

"I only know taijutsu, but among the powerful people summoned to participate in this death game, there may be someone who can crack Abe Seimei's scheme."

Akai had an optimistic attitude and comforted Kuroyukizu:
"Maybe it's not as bad as we thought."

Really, Mr. Akai's style of conduct is very passionate as a college teacher.

Kuroyukihime burst into laughter.

However, Kurogetsu Kaizo himself couldn't come up with a better way, so it would be good to follow Mr. Akai's instructions.

"Since we are looking for allies, should we notify the Supernatural Police Department of the death game that is about to happen in Kobe?"

Kurogei Kaizo and Akai also didn't know the specific number of people and the list of people participating in this death banquet.

Although the start time is imminent, the Japanese government has not made any big moves in Kobe City, which makes people doubt that the Japanese government is still kept in the dark.

Although Kurogetsu Kaizo is a bit cynical due to his past experiences, he is only a high school student after all. When he is desperate, he still wants to believe in the Japanese government and the Supernatural Police Department.

Although the official announcement of the Twelve Gods' victory over Abe Seimei is questionable, the Supernatural Police Department is still a powerful force.

"Well, I think..."

Akai touched his big nose, thought for a moment, and was about to speak.

"Ding dong."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the house.

Kurogeki was startled, and his pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhole!
Although his current situation at school is very good, Kurogane Kaizo has no close friends, who would knock on his door at this time.

Is it to say...

"Ding dong."

Kurogetsu Kaizo and Akai looked at each other, and Akai nodded to him, the golden light flashed, and the figure disappeared immediately.

He took out a three-section stick from the top of the shoe cabinet and clamped it under his ribs. Kuroyukihime carefully looked through the peephole behind the door.

I saw three or four strong men in black clothes standing outside the door. Their waists were bulging and they exuded the classic "strip" temperament.

Kuroyukihime retracted his head instinctively, his face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Could it be that he killed Senior Yelu and made the incident happen?
Sneak away through the back door, or attack violently and fight your way out?

Kurogie Huisan's mind was in a mess, and he was a little at a loss.

"Ding dong."

A few seconds later, the bell rang again unhurriedly, sounding very gentle and not urging anyone to worry at all.

Kurogeki's energy was shaken, and his eyes regained clarity.

Pretending to be dead is not an option.

Whether he can survive this death game or not until September is unknown. Even if Noro's death is revealed to be related to him, so what?
Is Kuroyukizu still afraid of being caught and jailed now?

Kuroyukihime took a few deep breaths, felt certain in his heart, opened the door, and asked calmly:
"May I ask why you are here?"

The men in black suits showed politeness that was completely different from their tough temperament, took out their IDs and said:
"It's Kurogane-san, I guess. We are from the Osaka branch of the Supernatural Police Department."

Paranormal Police Department? !
Kurogie Huisan's expression changed, he was enlightened, and he immediately understood their intention.

The Japanese government is not useless, and the response of the Supernatural Police Department was faster than expected.

"You guys step back and let me talk to Kurogane-san."

A black car was opened outside the street, and a man who looked frail and pale got out of the car.

"Hero Tosu." Kurogetsu Kaizan's eyes narrowed.

The Twelve Divine Generals are all famous figures in Japan, and even elementary school students can recognize them.

"Minister Tosu."

The local branch officers bowed their heads to the Tosu hero.

After confirming that Abe Seimei was about to lay a barrier in Kobe City, the Japanese government and the Supernatural Police Department immediately mobilized massive manpower and material resources to search for clues in Kobe City.

The disappearances that have occurred frequently in Kobe City in the past few months have naturally been included in the perspective of the Supernatural Police Department.

Each missing person investigation is reopened.

Through the disappearance of the judo director of the Second Boys High School, we traced the clues to Kuroyukizu.

Digging deeper immediately revealed many unexpected surprises.

In one fell swoop, he defeated three big men from the judo club in his class; he made a splash in club activities, and a series of earth-shaking changes made him feel like he was completely reborn.

There is no doubt that something unimaginable must have happened to Kuroyuki Kaizo, which is very suspicious.

"Kurotetsu-san, I wonder if you could ask me to come in and sit for a while?"

The moment he saw Kurogetsu Kaizo, the curse seal on the back of Tosu Hero's right hand began to heat up, making him convinced that he had found the rightful owner this time.

"Please."

The Supernatural Police Department is an agency of state violence, so Kurogetsu Teruzo naturally does not want to confront the Tosu Hero head-on.

After sitting down in the guest room, Tosu Hero got straight to the point and said:
"Kurotetsu-kun, can you let me see your heroic spirit?"
