Chapter 42: Nerve Rupture Bomb

Kawahara's understanding of golem is limited to the fact that it can fly and run and is a capable assistant.

I never thought this guy could actually talk!

After the revived golime lost its petrification, it looked like a large mechanical beetle. Its black and gold exterior looked quite cool, except for the two huge, pointed horns on the sides of its head that were a bit scary.

The golem flew low in the air indoors and circled towards Kawahara.

"Ya-Gulu~~"

Its voice is slow and childlike, with an electronic and mechanical echo.

After hearing it say this name, Kawahara was roughly sure that it must have recognized the right person - so it simply treated him as a power bank!
Kawahara touched the golem's horn with a frown on his face.

He also said in the ancient language: "I will not be your food. I don't have much spiritual power. Besides, although I am no longer Rick, you should still serve Yamadam."

Golem waved its horns to brush away his hand, and its huge mechanical body flew around Kawahara again.

"Ya-Gulu~"

This golem doesn't look very intelligent.

Hikaru Enoda, who was standing next to him, was very surprised: "It can actually talk? What does it want to do?"

Kawahara deadpanned, "Want to eat me."

Enoda Hikaru: “…” What a healthy, super ancient spirit.

The golems kept harassing him, and Kawahara was getting a little impatient. He flicked the golem's horns with his fingers, causing the metal to buzz.

"Alright, come to Sora-san!"

To be honest, golems are of little use to him now, and it would be more useful for him to stay with Yusuke Godai.

The golem, whose head was dazed by the bullet, made a series of electronic grunts, and then suddenly turned around and rushed towards the wall. Seeing this, Hikaru Enoda's eyes widened immediately - "Wait!"

She tried to stop it, but was too slow.

The huge stag beetle crashed into the wall of the workshop with a loud "boom", then quickly flew into the sky and disappeared.

Hikaru Enoda looked in astonishment at the large hole in the wall that gave him a sense of déjà vu, then turned to look at Kawahara who was also stunned.

Kawahara: "..."

He wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, but it was hard to ignore the resentful look of Enoda Hikaru.

Kawahara coughed and said, "Didn't you say you had a new idea for the weapon? Can you let me take a look? Maybe I can give you some inspiration?"

Only then did Hikaru Enoda's expression relax a bit.

……

The biochemical laboratory of the Science and Police Research Institute.

Plant fibers, like mycelium, are intertwined and entangled in a small culture vessel.

"We tried to cultivate the implants we recovered yesterday. After looking through the anatomical data of the "unconfirmed life forms" previously provided by Kanto Medical University Hospital, I found that they also contain a nervous system similar to that of living organisms."

Hikaru Enoda said as he handed him a document.

Kawahara glanced through it briefly, but couldn't understand a single term in it, so he closed it.

Mitsunori Enoda pondered and continued, "So, I want to try to concentrate the poison gas from last time into the bullets. This time, it should have some effect on them, right?"

Because the Gurongi of the Zi Group are not very strong, except for a few that are difficult to deal with, some weak Gurongi can even be directly dealt with by the police.

This is also the reason why Kawahara looked down on the "Zu Group" in the early days. Only when he reached the "Me Group" did he consider it worthy of attention.

After the second stage of the Kikiru game, even Kuuga's power needs to be sublimated in order to defeat the enemy. As for the bullets used by the Metropolitan Police Department that can only scrape, they can be said to be useless.

Kawahara looked at the rose vines in the culture vessel and said calmly, "We should take a break from this project." "Eh——?"

Hikaru Enoda showed a chapped expression: "You're not going to say that my idea is completely useless, are you? Wait, wait! Otherwise, you'd better not say it out loud to discourage me..."

She rubbed her temples with a headache on her face.

Kawahara smiled and looked at her: "I mean, you have already discovered that plants also have biological nervous systems, so shouldn't you expand your thinking and think about something deeper?"

Hikaru Enoda was stunned when he heard this: "What do you mean?"

Kawahara glanced at her and then turned his attention back to the culture vessel in front of him.

The plants that had previously withered and rotted in the underground drainage channel have absorbed nutrients and grown again after careful cultivation by the Science and Technology Police Research Institute.

Even flower buds grew on those thorns.

Kawahara directly opened the petri dish, reached in, and broke off the bright red flower bud.

After being separated from the implant, the rose withered quickly.

"look--"

Kawahara spread out the rotten bud and showed it to her: "This kind of thing relies on the power given by the nervous system to recover."

Hikaru Enoda stared at the flower bud in his hand in a daze. After hearing these words, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"So, you're saying..."

"Break their spines and fundamentally sever the connection between the nervous system and the body. The unconfirmed life form is just a slightly stronger animal to humans." Kawahara said with his eyes lowered.

"So this is ah!"

Hikaru Enoda clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Then I just need to change the poison gas bomb into something that can destroy their bodies from the inside!"

Kawahara said nothing more.

That thing is - a neurotomy bomb.

The essence of this bullet is to destroy the source of Gurongi's power, that is, the nerve-like tissue connected to the "belt", and fundamentally attack their characteristics.

Therefore, the Neuron Breaker Bullet can not only deal with Gurongi, but can also harm Kuuga.

Because Kuuga also evolved by relying on the instructions issued by the spiritual stone to the nervous system. After the bullet exploded the connection of the nervous system, even the Agur Belt could not recover for a while.

This is also the reason why Kawahara didn't want to remind Hikaru Enoda before.

After all, the Metropolitan Police Department and No. 4 had not yet established a tacit understanding in combat, and the Joint Investigation Department was still waiting and watching. If humans had this kind of weapon by that time, there was no guarantee that someone would not attack No. 4 as a threat.

But after several battles, there seems to be some comradeship between the Metropolitan Police Department and No. 4, right?
Now that the Zi Group has withdrawn and the Mei Group is about to come to an end, humanity will face even more powerful enemies and will indeed need a little more powerful force.

And Golem has also revived, so Sora also has a helper. As long as he is not ambushed, he will not be killed by the neurotomy bullet.

Even if I get hit accidentally...

At worst, I can give him electrotherapy!

Kawahara always thinks of all the bad things pessimistically first, and then becomes optimistic again - things are going quite smoothly, I can still get through it!
Hikaru Enoda also became happy: "Your idea is really good! I will try it in this direction next. These plants can also be used in experiments!"

"Well, good luck." Kawahara nodded.

"By the way, the things in your sarcophagus are of no use to us anymore. We plan to hand them over to the archaeological research laboratory. Do you want to take a look?" Enoda Hikaru suddenly said.

Kawahara finally reacted after hearing this.

He also had a bunch of burial objects...
