Chapter 63 A New Storm Has Emerged (22)

……

After the last Gurongi of the Mei Group left the stage, and with No. 3's move to return to Nagano Prefecture, Chuan originally thought that the Gurongi of the Kudzu Group would appear soon.

But in fact, more than two months have passed since then, and there have been no more sightings of "unidentified life forms" in Tokyo.

Moreover, there have been no similar abnormal deaths between Tokyo and Nagano Prefecture.

The group of Gurongi seemed to disappear suddenly.

However, due to Kawahara's previous hint, the Metropolitan Police Department did not really think that those unidentified life forms called "Gurongi" would no longer commit crimes.

Therefore, this kind of tranquility does not show any sign of peace, but rather it seems like a storm is brewing in secret, which makes people feel even more restless and uneasy.

After reporting to the Metropolitan Police Department, Kawahara took the time to take Yusuke Godai to the suburbs to experience the power of the OmniKnight Kick.

At that time, there was a loud explosion that shook the earth.

Yusuke Godai intuitively understood what it meant to have the power to "blow up the entire Institute of Scientific Police."

"Then...what about other sublimated powers?"

He stared at Kawahara blankly.

Kawahara thought for a moment and said, "The explosions after releasing the sealed energy in other forms are still very loud, but not as exaggerated as the Omni-Knight Kick. At most, it would just blow up a laboratory."

Yusuke Godai: “…” It’s still scary.

He then recalled the first time he met Kawahara. At that time, the unconfirmed life form No. 6 was blown up, along with half of the square.

Yusuke Godai suddenly felt a little afraid of the power in himself.

"Will I become like that?" he asked suddenly.

"What? Oh, the black one? Of course you can become that, but you won't become like me."

There was something ambiguous about what Kawahara said.

Yusuke Godai looked at him blankly, and suddenly remembered the day when he met Mr. Kanzaki again.

At that time, he chose to tell the other party that he was No. 4, and expressed his intention to continue fighting. Then the teacher smiled and said something.

——"I believe you, and that person seems to trust you more than you do!"

……

Saturday, November 2000, 6.

10:54am.

In a cafe during leisure time.

Yusuke Godai rested his chin on his hand as he pondered over this sentence.

At this moment, Kawahara's cell phone suddenly rang. He put down the newspaper and took a look. The caller ID showed it was Kaoru Ichijo.

Since Gurongi has not appeared for more than two months, Kaoru Ichijo has rarely contacted them during this period.

Kawahara raised his eyebrows and answered the call: "Hello? Officer Ichijo."

Hearing the voice, Yusuke Godai looked over immediately.

Then he saw that although Kawahara was listening to the phone quietly, his expression became more and more serious, and his eyes fixed on the void revealed a hint of sharpness.

It was just like the situation he was in every time he had to deal with unconfirmed life forms.

Could it be that the enemy who has been silent for more than two months...

Has it finally reappeared?
"What happened? Did an unidentified life form appear? Where is it?"

Yusuke Godai couldn't help but come over and ask, his eyes fixed on his phone, looking like he was eager to answer the call.

After listening to the general situation, Kawahara responded and simply handed the phone to him. Godai Yusuke quickly took it: "Mr. Ichijo?!"

[“Godai, this morning, there were several mysterious shock deaths across Tokyo. And at 9:54 a.m., a surveillance camera captured the shadow of an unidentified life form flying in the sky!”]
So Kaoru Ichijo told the story again.

This is the third unconfirmed life form capable of flying discovered by the Metropolitan Police Department, but this time the target does not produce ultrasonic waves when flying like the previously recorded No. 3 (bat) and No. 14 (wasp).

Therefore, the police were unable to track the other party's location and could only drive police cars around Tokyo to warn the public.

As of now, the number of victims is 36, with nine deaths each in Adachi Ward, Arakawa Ward, Itabashi Ward, and Edogawa Ward.

Moreover, those people almost all collapsed from shock at the same time and died on the way to the hospital.

Although they knew that the "Go Group" would set rules for killing, they had no idea for now.

It would be nice to know more about their habits.

Unfortunately, Kawahara had previously made it clear that there was no such thing as "civilization" among the Gurongi, so there was no way to analyze their habits when making rules by analyzing their culture.

[“Anyway, let’s stay alert for now. I’ll let you know if there’s any new information!”]
Ichijo Kaoru made this call mainly to let the two fighters get ready. After all, Kawahara was easier to contact, but Godai Yusuke's whereabouts were uncertain - although this guy had never been late when fighting monsters.

"I understand. I'll be on standby then!"

Yusuke Godai responded quickly and was about to hang up, but Kawahara suddenly took the phone away again.

"Officer Ichijo, I just suddenly seemed to remember something." Kawahara said with his eyes slightly narrowed.

["What?"]
"I remember when you first surrounded and suppressed Gurongi, you seized a strange wristband in the warehouse, right? That was actually Gurongi's counting tool."

[“I know. You said that then, too.”]
"They only kill nine people each time they act. Probably because... the Gurongi's counting rules are based on the 9-base system, so they are particularly fond of calculating numbers based on the 9-base system."

Kawahara whispered, walked to the bar, took out the jewelry store manager's collection book, and pulled out a map of Tokyo from it.

He continued while counting the areas on the map, "Gurongi's killing areas are also limited, and they basically don't leave Tokyo. So in addition to the areas that have already been operated, there should be 19 areas left, a total of 207 people."

——207 people!
Each number represents a life that has become a game number!

Although Kawahara looked down upon the Gurongi race, he had to admit that those beasts might still have some civilized habits left.

He had never cared about the number of kills each Gurongi had committed before - they would be eliminated if they failed to kill the target number anyway.

After all, there has not been a single Gurongi who has successfully completed his goal and advanced.

But this time I heard the words "nine people at a time".

The memory of death suddenly attacked him.

[“I see! So we only need to focus on guarding the remaining 19 districts? But this area is still too large!”]
A heavy voice sounded.

In addition to killing all the people in Tokyo's 23 wards, there must be other additional rules, otherwise the game would be too watered down for the "Go Group".

"It's not a specific sequence from the west, nor does it start from the east. The other rule is really hard to guess..."

Kawahara frowned as he looked at the map of Tokyo.

It was good enough that he remembered that Gurongi used a nine-base counting system. As for the specific rules for each Gurongi, that would be a test of his memory from more than a decade ago.

Just as he was thinking about it, a voice broadcast from Xun's car came over the phone.

——［“A mysterious death due to shock has been reported in Ota City and Katsushika City!”］
Two more areas can be ruled out.

Kawahara glanced at the map and said, "Officer Ichijo, you Metropolitan Police Department should work harder on the rules. I'm also planning to go to the scene first."

[“Okay! Thank you for your help!”]
After hanging up the phone, Kawahara prepared to go out.

Godai Yusuke followed him: "But how do we find it?"

Two test trackers were parked outside, and Kawahara took out his helmet and put it on while looking at him.

"If we have no idea what the other party's next move will be, then there is only one way left - first lock on to the areas that have not been visited, and then use Tenma Kuga to wait for them." Kawahara said in a flat tone.

Godai Yusuke was suddenly startled.

This method can certainly help you to sneak up on Gurongi.

but……

This also means giving up on people in other areas, giving up on the nine lives, eighteen lives, or even more lives that will be treated as a game!

He didn't know what to say for a moment, and Kawahara had already gotten on the motorcycle and immediately turned to look at him.

"I plan to go to the Minato District first. Godai, you can follow the information given by the Metropolitan Police Department and go around the surrounding areas."

"……I see!"

Standing still would only lead to more losses, so now was not the time to dwell on it. Yusuke Godai came to his senses and took action immediately.

With a heavy roar, the two motorcycles sped away together.

　　This is today's update, and there will be more later.

　　【Tips】

　　The original TV show Ge Group debuted on July 7th.

　　But in this article, due to Kawahara's interference, Gurongi's game progress was accelerated, so his appearance time became earlier. And because of "some" reasons, it originally took only one month for No. 3 to notify the Kuzu Corporation, but now the notification time has been extended.
