Chapter 17 Imagine fighting like him

Chapter 17 I Want to Fight Like Him
01:35pm.

Scientific Police Institute.

Kawahara woke up in an unknown bed again.

He covered his sleep-stained hair, and calmed down the image of the violent pursuit of Gurongi in his dream, and then looked at the surroundings, which seemed to be a temporary rest room.

His brain still ached from time to time, his whole body felt weak, and his stomach was clearly yelling with hunger.

It seemed to be the same yesterday. After using "telekinesis" to read Yusuke Godai's language ability, I suddenly felt very hungry, and food can indeed restore physical strength and replenish the nutrients needed by the body.

After Kawahara stood up and walked out of the lounge, he realized that this seemed to be the supporting office of Hikaru Enoda.

He glanced around casually, his eyes fell on the pen holder on the desk, then he took off the hairband on the pen and tied a bun behind his head.

The building of the Scientific Police Research Institute covers a large area, and Kawahara walked around after leaving his office.

I couldn't find where the canteen was.

However, he was discovered by Hikaru Enoda who was passing by in a hurry.

"Eh? Wait! You—wait!"

Hearing the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps behind him, Kawahara turned around and looked. When Hikaru Enoda saw his face, he immediately looked relieved.

She walked over and said, "Finally I found you. Don't run around when you wake up!"

Kawahara paused and said, "Sorry, I just want to find where the cafeteria is."

"Canteen? Ah, lunch time is long gone!"

"That……"

"I know, come with me!"

Hikaru Enoda sighed helplessly.

……

Then the Scientific Police Institute served him a quick meal of pork chop rice.

Kawahara: "..." So Japanese police officers have a katsudon fetish...

But he was too hungry, so he decided to eat first.

"Where's Godai Yusuke?"

In the office, Kawahara, who was eating, suddenly asked.

——Yusuke Godai is not here. He has not felt the breath of the Yamadam Spiritual Stone since he woke up.

——And the other party shouldn’t suddenly leave the vicinity.

Without even turning around, Enoki said, "Not long after you fell down for no apparent reason, Gurongi appeared in the city, and Ichijo-kun and the man left first."

"Gurongi..."

Kawahara narrowed his eyes as he listened.

But since Yusuke Godai has only just developed the Blue Dragon form, this means that Gurongi's game is still in the "Zu Group" stage.

The Gurongis of the Zi Group are all very weak, and I, a novice, am good enough to deal with them. I can also get experience packs by the way.

only……

I feel a little irritable.

"By the way, before Godai Yusuke left, he told me to give this to you after you wake up."

At this moment, Hikaru Enoda suddenly remembered something and spoke up. She rummaged through the toolbox on the table, found a folded note and handed it to Kawahara.

Kawahara was stunned, put down his chopsticks and unfolded it to take a look.

——"I want to fight to protect everyone's smiles like Riku did. I will also ask Mr. Kawahara for more information about Kuuga. Please wait for me!"

There is also a hand-drawn Q version thumbs up below the message.

Obviously, she was worried about his condition, so she left this behind when she had to leave.

Kawahara smiled, and his irritable mood was indeed relieved a lot, so he put the note into the pocket of his leather jacket.

……

Although Yusuke Godai and Kaoru Ichijo left.

But Kawahara still has things to do here.

After he had eaten two servings of pork chop rice, Hikaru Enoda took him to a busy workshop and handed him a foggy test tube.

"After our investigation, we believe that this is something that can have an impact on "unconfirmed life forms", so I would like to ask you what you think about this thing." said Hikaru Enoda.

"What is this?" Kawahara looked at the test tube curiously.

"You can just open it." She smiled.

Kawahara glanced at her and felt that there was something fishy going on, but he pulled the lid off without any hesitation.

呲——

A pungent smell accompanied by white smoke wafted out.

Kawahara immediately frowned and turned his head away.

Hikaru Enoda smiled and said, "This is an industrial emission gas. It should not have existed in the ancient times. We analyzed the behavior of No. 6 and found that it seemed to be deliberately avoiding this gas."

Number 6 is the locust Gurongi that was blown up yesterday.

Although due to the intervention of Black Kuuga, Yusuke Godai did not save his life, which allowed Kaoru Ichijo to investigate the reason why No. 6 let Kuuga go.

However, after investigating No. 6's murder, the Metropolitan Police Department still found that the other party was avoiding the direction of factory gas emissions.

Therefore, they temporarily believe that the gas emitted by this factory can restrain "unconfirmed life forms."

Kawahara dispelled the pungent air in front of him.

He shook his head and said, "To be honest, even normal people can't stand this smell. They just hate this gas, but it basically doesn't cause any harm."

"Really? That's a pity."

Hikaru Enoda took back the empty test tube and put it back on the shelf.

She didn't seem particularly disappointed. After all, the development of such targeted weapons would always encounter various failures.

I'm almost used to it.

"Then do you have any better suggestions?" she asked again.

"..."

Kawahara paused, his eyes slightly deep.

Hikaru Enoda, who didn't hear a response, looked back at him and raised his eyebrows: "It looks like there is a proposal."

Kawahara does have an idea.

But since that weapon can kill Gurongi, it can also cause damage to Kuuga, so for now, he thinks it is not suitable to appear in the hands of the Metropolitan Police Department.

So he said: "Each Gurongi has different characteristics. Right now, there is nothing that can target all Gurongi at once." "Grongi? Is this what you super ancient people call those monsters? Aren't you the same race?" Hikaru Enoda asked curiously.

"The race of super ancient people is called 'Rindo'. In fact, they are just like modern humans. I and 'Kuaga' are just special existences among them. In essence, we are still human. As for the Gurongi, you can think of them as a mutant race developed from humans."

Kawahara said this, picked up the pen on the table, and wrote the super ancient characters of the two races on the table.

Hikaru Enoda nodded, then remembered something and took out his camera to take a picture of the words on the desktop: "Wait a moment~"

Yesterday I met a girl from the same school who was good at analyzing ancient characters, so I could show her this.

"Besides these things, is there anything else you need my help with?" Kawahara asked.

"Well... originally this was the only thing, but since you said you don't have any better suggestions for the time being, we can only wait for the Metropolitan Police Department to send new unconfirmed Gurongi samples." Enoda Hikaru said while wiping the table.

"Have you excavated everything in the Jiulangyue ruins?" Kawahara asked again.

"It seems not yet ~ The entire Jiulangyue ruins are quite large. In addition to the first cave, it is said that there is a large unexcavated space behind it. After all, the sarcophagus containing you was discovered only the day before yesterday." Enoda Hikaru shrugged.

"I see..." Kawahara thought thoughtfully.

"What's wrong?" asked Hikaru Enoda.

"No, it's just that there should be something in there that you haven't dug out yet."

"—?!"

Hearing this, Hikaru Enoda was startled, slowly turned his head to look at him and asked, "There is...something else? Is it dangerous?"

Kawahara smiled and said, "He's not dangerous. He's a companion."

The golem that sucked him and ran away has not been dug out yet.

"What exactly is it? I can inform the Nagano Prefectural Police Department about this matter and ask them to pay attention to it." Hikaru Enoda said seriously.

Kawahara thought for a moment: "A... giant stag beetle wearing armor?"

Enokida Hikaru: "?"

This sounds dangerous!
……

Kawahara had just wandered around the Science and Police Research Institute and now felt a little bored, so he looked at Hikaru Enoda who was on the phone.

"Am I free to move?" he asked.

Hikaru Enoda had just hung up the phone call with the police department. After hearing this, she thought for a moment and said, "Ichijo-kun didn't say he wanted to restrict your movements before he left."

The subtext of this sentence is that he can act freely.

Kawahara greeted him and said, "I'll take a look around and come back for dinner."

Enoda Hikaru: “…” Did you come back specially for dinner?

Hikaru Enoda didn't think it was strange that a super ancient person wanted to observe modern society, and this person didn't look like the kind of person who would do something secretly.

Besides, it is impossible for this person to stay in the Science and Police Research Institute forever. It is estimated that he will be allowed to move freely in the later stage.

Thinking that Kaoru Ichijo was probably still chasing the unconfirmed life form, Hikaru Enoda left a voice message and did not interfere any further.

Then Kawahara, who had just left, suddenly came back.

“Do you have a means of transportation?”

"..."

……

The mass-produced special motorcycle TryChaser2000A, the motorcycle that Yusuke Godai is currently riding is its prototype.

This is a new police vehicle developed by the Science and Police Research Institute.

However, the "mass production model" does not have the special color-changing function of the "prototype", nor does it use an advanced engine. It is a more ordinary police-only motorcycle.

The Scientific Police Research Institute is not located in the city center, but in the relatively remote suburbs of Chiba Prefecture.

So Kawahara walked out.

I found myself in the middle of nowhere, no village, no shop, and no bus.

What kind of relaxation experience is this?!
Fortunately, the Science and Police Research Institute is currently trying to mass-produce this motorcycle, so there are some means of transportation available for loan in the workshop.

but……

"Can you ride a bike?" asked Hikaru Enoda suspiciously.

Kawahara put on his helmet and said, "I just learned this."

Enokida Hikaru: "..."

She looked him up and down with a strange look on her face. "No wonder Ichijo told me before that you learned modern languages ​​in just a moment, and even knew what happened in Jiulangyue. What kind of ability is this?"

Kawahara looked at her, and smiled slightly under the helmet. Then he stepped on the ignition pedal of the motorcycle, stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.

Mitsuru Enoda, who was standing in front, quickly took a few steps back, looked at the motorcycle going away, and crossed his arms in anger.

Better not to flip over halfway!
……

Kawahara was not familiar with this city.

Therefore, he just planned to look elsewhere along this road. Perhaps he had been in the ancient times and had lost track of the present, so he wanted to see more of the scenery of modern technology.

But not long after he drove out, a "buzzing" sound suddenly came from the motorcycle panel with buttons.

Kawahara glanced down, unsure if the car was going to break down.

He doesn't want to flip over.

Therefore, Kawahara decisively stopped by the roadside, took out the instruction manual given by Mitsuru Enoda, and operated the data panel according to the prompts.

Shut down and restart——

[“Zizizi… This is Katsushika No. 2. I have found Unidentified Life Entity No. 7 near Mizumoto Park. Please Zizizizi immediately…”]
The sound coming from the communication panel was unstable, and Kawahara subconsciously patted the front panel of the car.

Soon, another person's voice was heard from inside.

["Got it, we'll be there right away!"]
Then the communication returned to silence, leaving only a long standby tone, which sounded a bit harsh, so Kawahara simply hung up.

Unconfirmed life form No. 7?
According to the ranking, this should be the next player of Gurongi who was killed by him yesterday, and this morning, Yusuke Godai and Kaoru Ichijo had already set out to chase him.

and so……

Did you track it from morning to afternoon?

So hard to catch?

Kawahara thought about it thoughtfully, put on his helmet again, and drove forward at a faster speed along the road.

……

 ……

  I've been out of town these days, and my manuscripts are running out...
