Chapter 170: Physical Exercise
Chapter 170: Physical Exercise
The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the serial murders that occurred in the past two days.
Although the "G3 Armor"-clad officer who faced the murderer two days ago said that it was a monster, since no images were left, the possibility that the crime was committed by an "unconfirmed life form" remains for the time being.
Every time the murderer commits a crime, the direct relatives of the deceased who are related by blood will encounter unexpected events afterwards.
So after a similar death case was discovered this morning, two officers from the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division immediately took the victim's mother into protection.
That is the young woman walking in front.
However, since the murderer has not been found yet, the two chose to follow each other secretly, intending to catch the murderer who would attack the relatives of the deceased.
Then they caught Kawahara who was also following the deceased's relatives.
Kawahara looked at the two men and felt a familiar aura about them—police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department.
Another slightly older man at the back also came forward and took out his ID from the secret pocket of his windbreaker.
"I'm sorry, we are detectives from the First Investigation Division. We may need your cooperation in the investigation." He said calmer than the other person.
Kawahara looked at the document in his hand.
Searching for a lesson?
The [Joint Investigation Team for Unidentified Lifeforms] established two years ago was reorganized from the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division.
However, after No. 0 (Daguba) was eliminated, the Joint Investigation Department was disbanded, and the Investigation Section was disbanded and reorganized again.
Therefore, the two men did not seem to know him.
Another person said arrogantly, "Officer Kono, you see, I told you this would definitely not be the work of an 'unidentified life form'. All we have to do now is take him back!"
He took out handcuffs and tried to take Kawahara back. Officer Kono was shocked when he saw this: "Wait! Hojo, not yet..."
Nothing has been confirmed yet. This person is just a suspicious stalker. It would be too hasty to arrest him now.
Just as Hojo Toru took out the handcuffs, Kawahara, whose wrist was grabbed by him, turned his hand with an indifferent expression.
Accompanied by a "click" sound.
The handcuffs were handcuffed to Hojo Toru's own hands.
Hojo Toru: “…”
Kawahara looked at him with interest: "This police officer doesn't seem to be suitable for being a criminal policeman. Have you considered changing your career?"
Hojo Toru grabbed the other half of the shackles angrily: "There is something wrong with you! Officer Kono, even if he is not the murderer, he must have something to do with the murderer--"
"Click!"
Before he could finish his words, Kawahara handcuffed his other hand.
In the blink of an eye, both hands were cuffed. Hojo Toru looked at him in shock: "You are committing the crime of obstructing public service!"
Kawahara looked at him with a half-smile: "Is that all? Then my resume may be even more incredible than you think."
Officer Kono next to him pressed his temple in annoyance: "Sir, I'm sorry for our recklessness just now, but could you please explain why you followed that lady?"
Kawahara pointed over there and said, "Because a monster is targeting that lady, I'm waiting for it."
Police Officer Kono: "..."
But at this moment, Hojo Toru seemed to have realized something. He put away the angry look on his face and looked up and down at Kawahara with disdain.
"Oh! I see."
Hojo Toru said slowly, "You are not the helper that guy asked to come here. In order to cover up the fact that he failed, he insisted that it was the monster that attacked the victim."
Kawahara looked at him in surprise. "The unconfirmed life form was only a thing last year, right? Why do you think there are no monsters?"
"Because it happened in the past, there haven't been any unconfirmed life forms for more than a year. Why should it be a monster that committed the crime this time?" Hojo Toru asked without comment.
"In that case, what is it?"
Kawahara didn't refute him again, but just pointed to a big tree not far from the girl again.
Both Toru Hojo and Officer Kono looked over subconsciously, and saw a shadow vaguely appearing behind the tree. The other party made a series of strange movements with his hands and walked out, revealing the posture of a beast with silver leopard spots.
Angel - Lord Leopard.
Because humans are regarded as children by the dark forces, angels will make a prayer gesture to ask God's forgiveness when they destroy humans who have awakened the "power of light".
Even though this itself is a command from God.
The appearance of Leopard Venerable also directly verified a fact - there really is a monster!
As the two police officers were shocked, the monster in the shape of a wild leopard walked silently towards the unsuspecting young woman. It was obvious that it was the murderer who killed the deceased and her blood relatives!
"Mrs. Tsutsumiguchi! Danger!"
Officer Kono shouted and rushed over quickly. Hojo Toru subconsciously wanted to move as well, but his hands were handcuffed and he staggered.
"Hey! Let me go!" Hojo Toru shouted anxiously.
"Officer, you have the keys."
Kawahara laughed playfully, waved at Hojo Toru who was stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked towards the monster with a gloomy aura.
He didn't walk fast. Officer Kono, who had already rushed over, quickly knocked Emiko Tsutsumiguchi to the ground to protect her, and the angel who was about to take action suddenly stopped at this moment.
It turned its head and looked at the human male walking towards it with a steady and confident look, its eyes fierce but also a little uncertain.
It is the breath of the "power of light".
but……
There was also another strange feeling that seemed to be true but was not, which prevented Leopard Venerable from taking the initiative for a while.
Officer Kono was also surprised when he saw him coming.
"What are you doing! Run!"
Officer Kono picked up Emiko Tsutsumiguchi who was lying on the ground and pushed her away, while taking out his pistol and guarding against the monster not far away. When he saw Kawahara, an ordinary citizen, actually walked over, he felt that this was outrageous.
Kawahara stared at the opposite side with sharp eyes, and seeing him getting closer and closer, the eyes of Leopard Master shrank slightly.
Apart from the power of light, angels will not actively attack other ordinary humans. Most angels will only fight back when attacked by humans - or even eliminate ordinary humans.
Some angels with calmer tempers will not kill ordinary humans even if they are attacked.
Leopard Venerable was not a person of stable temper, so when it hesitated, Kawahara suddenly accelerated and rushed over, knocking it away with one punch!
Then he successfully ignited the leopard's anger.
More than a year ago, after examining Kawahara, Tsubaki Hideichi said that with Kawahara's current physical condition, he would be able to possess very strong power even without transforming. Later, he did break the stone wall of the Dengrong Mountain ruins with one punch.
So this time, the physical body also hit the Leopard Venerable with a punch, causing him to fall to the ground. "The power of light..."
The Leopard Venerable stood up angrily. The language he spoke was neither a modern language nor a super ancient language. To those who didn't understand it, it just sounded like some kind of rhythm.
Angels can speak human language, but they disdain human language.
Kawahara could also understand the language of angels, but he didn't want to have any communication with these "low-level angels" who he knew very little about. If he met them, he would just use them for training.
As Leopard Master rushed over at an accelerated speed, Kawahara dodged sideways nimbly. After avoiding the opponent's sharp claws that were swinging from both sides, he suddenly grabbed Leopard Master's arm with his backhand in the next moment, and then he kneed him hard in the chest and abdomen!
"Oh!"
The unrestrained force hit Leopard Venerable so hard that it groaned, covered its abdomen and retreated repeatedly.
Venerable Leopard was somewhat shocked at the power displayed by this human. He was not Agito, but was the power of light alone enough to repel them?
God's decision to destroy the "force of light" was correct!
As Leopard Venerable retreated a little, an angel halo appeared above his head, and then he reached out and took out a silver bow.
But before it could use its weapon, Kawahara suddenly appeared in front of it, spun around and kicked it away!
The weapon in Leopard Venerable's hand fell, and Kawahara caught it. He then drew his bow and aimed at Leopard Venerable who was not far away.
The Leopard Venerable was caught off guard and when he got up and looked, all the angels were shocked and dazed.
"How can it be?!"
The weapon of Leopard Master, the "Bow of Pride", has no arrow or string, but in Kawahara's hand holding the bow, a white arrow of light condensed out of thin air and flew away like a flash of lightning!
call out--!
The shocked Leopard Venerable rolled violently on the ground, and the arrow of light narrowly passed by his side.
The second arrow of light in Kawahara's hand has been condensed again, but at this time, a black figure wearing a yellow scarf suddenly jumped out from behind the tree beside him!
It’s another angel with leopard attributes!
Angels act in groups based on racial attributes, and each time they take action, one racial group is usually responsible for clearing out a human family. The mission is not completed until there are no direct blood relatives of humans who have awakened the "power of light."
There were three leopard angels in this operation, one of whom died two days ago, and the remaining two are still continuing their mission.
The rushing Black Panther Venerable knocked Kawahara to the ground. Compared with the Lead White Panther Venerable whose weapon was taken away, its attack moves were more fierce and decisive!
"boom!"
The sharp claws of the Black Panther Master smashed the ground. Kawahara dodged by turning his head and punched him out. He then quickly turned over and squatted. His eyes, which had been calm till then, slowly showed a hint of ferocity.
The two Leopard Lords, Lead White and Black, surrounded him in the middle, one in front and one behind. Officer Kono, who had retreated to Hojo Toru's side to protect the victim not far away, was also looking at that side in shock.
"Who on earth is he..."
He actually started fighting the monster directly.
Hojo Toru had already found the key, and after unlocking the handcuffs with the help of Officer Kono, he immediately became serious.
"Anyone who suddenly starts fighting with monsters is probably not an innocent guy. Officer Kono, take Mrs. Tsutsumiguchi away first, and I will deal with them!" Hojo Toru said as he took out a pistol.
"Be careful!"
Officer Kono didn't say anything more at this time, and first took the attacked Emiko Tsutsumiguchi to a safe place.
After watching the two of them leave, Hojo Toru turned his attention to the three people confronting each other not far away, with an ambiguous look on his face.
If he took advantage of the monsters fighting and attacked again...
Because the fact that a "monster" committed the crime is beyond doubt, and he denied in front of the entire Investigation Division yesterday that the G3 team encountered a monster. This is undoubtedly a slap in the face, and it may lead to a decline in his voice in the Metropolitan Police Department.
But if he could catch a monster this time, perhaps he would still have room for maneuver.
Hojo Toru was thinking proudly, and the next moment, a peculiar roar of a motorcycle came from the end of the road.
He turned around in surprise and saw the G3 Armored Guard on a Tracker motorcycle parked right in front of him. The voice of the person he looked down upon came from inside -
"Officer Hojo, are you okay? Leave this to me!"
"..."
Hojo Toru's face twitched. He wanted to say something but couldn't find a suitable reason to reprimand this guy, so he could only watch the G3 armor continue to move forward.
……
Kawahara looked at the angels on both sides calmly, thinking about getting rid of the weaker Lead White Leopard Venerable first.
But before he could take any action, he turned around and saw that the Black Panther Reverend was knocked away by a motorcycle, and the familiar dark blue armor riding on the motorcycle also stopped in front of him.
"Please seek shelter elsewhere as soon as possible!"
The G3 Armor, who didn't understand what was going on, shouted to him with concern.
Kawahara remained motionless as he looked at the G3 armor.
The two antennae on the forehead and the huge red compound eyes are probably modeled after the posture of "Kuga", and compared to the bulky G1 armor two years ago, the third-generation armor is obviously more flexible in movement.
Kawahara looked away after a glance. Without any response, he turned around and picked up the Bow of Pride that had fallen to the ground.
"you……"
G3 Armor was about to say something, but the Black Panther Venerable who had just been knocked away by him had already pounced on him. After grabbing his shoulders with both hands and shaking him off, the Panther Venerable followed closely and rushed towards Kawahara in front!
The G3 Armor, who staggered to his feet, was startled and immediately wanted to stop it, but at this time, the Lead White Leopard Venerable on the other side also attacked him.
"Run!"
He could only shout anxiously.
Kawahara picked up the Bow of Pride and turned around to look. Just as the black shadow approached him, a white arrow of light suddenly aimed at its forehead.
The Black Panther Venerable, who was only one step away from being stabbed, suddenly stopped moving. He moved cautiously to the side, and the white light arrow followed him like a shadow.
The next moment, Venerable Black Panther suddenly jumped up on the spot, and the light arrow was shot towards the sky as expected!
"call out--!"
The arrow of light pierced through the side of its waist and abdomen. The Black Panther Venerable screamed in pain and fell to the ground. A golden vein like an electric current swept from the injured part to all parts of its torso, and golden sealing characters flashed by.
Kawahara still has the habit of hiding the sealing energy in every attack he is about to launch.
Although the angel is not Gurongi, as the purpose of sealing the energy is to detonate Gurongi, the effect after the release of this energy is no different from an explosion.
After Venerable Black Panther struggled for a while, an angel halo gradually appeared above his head, and then it exploded into energy particles in a dazzling light.
"Boom!"
The noise of the explosion immediately attracted the attention of the G3 Armor and the Lead White Leopard Venerable who were fighting.
The former looked at that side in confusion, and the pupils of the Lead White Leopard Venerable shrank slightly. It immediately repelled the G3 armor with one claw, turned around and retreated towards the woods behind.
