Akai, are you happy to have a senior like me?

"you......"

Before the other party's surprised words spit out, Tsuruta mirror quickly connected: "Don't worry, as jungle adventure enthusiasts, we have rich experience in exploring forests, and we are not ignorant tourists who don't know anything. We know how to protect ourselves. I can help you search and rescue together."

This passage shows that they are not the ones who are holding back in this forest entry operation.

"It's almost dusk now, and it will be even more dangerous when it gets completely dark. Time waits for no one. That lost child is likely to be in danger."

This paragraph points out the urgency of time, and at the same time conveys a bit of concern for the child, focusing on finding the missing Saito Dahui.

Saito Masao, who was the most anxious at the scene, replied immediately: "Yes, I am also worried about the night, and it has been snowing today... Sorry for the trouble, kind people!"

Saito Masaobu opened his mouth, and Hagiwara Kenji replied: "Then let's go into the forest together, thank you for your help." He showed a friendly smile, "Hello, I am Hagiwara Kenji, and this is Matsuda Jinpei.

The curly-haired youth waved his hand to say hello.

Tsuruta mirror said his name briskly: "Tsuruta mirror."

Akai Hideichi, who hadn't spoken the whole time, spoke at this moment: "Moro Hoshida."

After a simple and quick self-introduction, everyone set off for Onihara Forest.

The snow that started this morning has covered the ground, and the earth is covered with a layer of silver.The forest in winter is very quiet, and the crunching sound of everyone's shoes on the snow is also very obvious.

The snow was still falling, and the fluttering snowflakes fell on the top of the hair, the scarf and the back of the hands. When the wind came, a small crystal was close to Akai Shuichi's lower lip, and the next second the snowflake fell, it was caught by the silver-haired person next to him. He kissed her warmly, and then left the moment the snowflakes melted.

——When Kenji Katorihara and Jinhei Matsuda looked at the other side, Tsuruta Kagami suddenly kissed Shuichi Akai.

Akai Hideo was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell into the pair of light ambers with lively smiles.Under Tsuruta Kyou's gaze, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

"No one has passed by here in a short period of time," Kenji Hagiwara speculated based on the snow that only had a few strings of small animal footprints on the ground. "In my impression, going further to this direction is a highland fault. Go around."

"There are wolves in the woods, but they don't hang around the edges," Matsuda Jinpei said. "But it's better to be careful of the traps and snares laid by the hunters under your feet. Many of them are years old."

Tsuruta Kyou looked at the semi-long-haired and curly-haired young man. He still remembered these two people——Scotland's former companions.

At that time, robbers on the streets of Tokyo committed crimes on the street, and when Tsuruta Kagami was sitting at a roadside stall eating mitarai balls, it was the curly-haired young man who knocked down the robber, while the semi-long-haired young man was comforting the emotions of the robbed woman.

Although it was just a glance at the beginning, Tsuruta Kagami still remembered the appearance of the two of them.His memory has always been very good, not to mention that he has been specially trained as an agent.In addition, after seeing the information about Scotland some time ago, I have already recalled that scene.

However, there is a high probability that these two people don't remember themselves, after all, they were focusing on the robbers at the time.

At that time, only Scotland (known as [Zhu Fu]) stepped forward and said a few words to himself next to him—obviously, on such a long and inconspicuous day, even Scotland did not remember the accidental encounter back then (otherwise he would have Will be alert to whether his true identity has already been discovered by his boss Lang Jiu), let alone these two people.

Thinking casually in his heart, Tsuruta Kyo smiled and said casually: "Are you locals? Not long ago, the fireworks display in Kanagawa County was very famous. It is said that even people in the suburbs could see it that day. Fireworks downtown."

"Cough, this statement should be exaggerated." Kenji Hagiwara smiled with purple eyes, "But I don't know the details. In fact, we were still working in Tokyo when the fireworks display was held."

"It happens to be the busy season." Matsuda Jinhei dragged the end of the voice, "The photos sent by Sister Qiansu are very good, but it's a pity that we can't come back."

"That's it." Tsuruta Kagami continued to chat, "Speaking of which, your search posture reminds me of the instructor who taught us some jungle search skills before. He is a retired police officer from the third search section. Let me guess— —Are you also the police? I think it's probably the same as the third search section?"

Incorporating personal experience will make the words natural, and the questioning method is also very clever.

"It's indeed the police, but it's not the third section. We are responsible for disposing of explosives." Matsuda Jinping put his hands in his pockets, his eyes were scanning the traces around him, and he replied casually.

"Oh—sounds cool." Tsuruta Kagami ended the topic with a smile, and got part of the news he wanted.

He didn't go any further. After all, he could send intelligence personnel to collect more information about these two people.

And those things that may not be collected (covered), such as their contemporaries in the same year, these relatively personal and private questions are not suitable for people who have just met to ask, and in fact, Tsuruta mirror did not intend to search for more He had little interest in Scotland's past.

Mastering this small amount is enough to drag the other party at certain times.Tsuruta mirror laughed in his heart.Judging from the past, their relationship should be very good-these two police friends from the explosives squad will be Scotland's weakness.

Tsuruta mirror is happy to grasp these hidden handles, although he may not be able to use them.

"Look this way!" Hagiwara Kenji's shout attracted everyone's attention.

Tsuruta mirror moved his eyes to the tree Hagiwara Kenji was pointing at, and immediately noticed several unusual deep marks on it - like violent scratches of animals, disorderly.And beside it was splashed with dark red blood.From a height point of view, it is probably a bear that can make such a mark.

Such a trail might not seem surprising in a wildlife-infested wood, but—

"There are no bears in Onihara Forest." Matsuda Jinpei frowned.

Akai Shuichi said calmly beside him: "If it was a bear, the mark would be deeper and the bark raised would be larger, but the force is obviously much weaker. A scratch like this is more like a wolf."

However, the height of the traces is not what wolves that are on all fours can normally leave.

Matsuda paused for a moment: "Hey, don't there really be any werewolves who break the scientific concept."

Hagiwara Kenji focused his eyes on the bloodstain, and straightened his lips: "I hope this is not Dahui..."

And Tsuruta mirror continued calmly: "Although I really hope that the blood is just some kind of small animal."

He glanced, reached out to touch the bark, and then spread his hands, "But these fluorescent particles are most likely from the decoration of the clothes, which were rubbed on."

The atmosphere suddenly froze, and even the surrounding temperature dropped a little.

With the tip of his tongue on the roof of his mouth, Matsuda Jinhei finally spoke first: "There is no corpse yet. Maybe there is still hope."

"Yes." Tsuruta Kage blinked, "There is no more blood, no remains of clothing, maybe the boy is still alive. We should look deeper."

"He was injured, there should be blood on the ground as a guide. But the snow has completely covered this place." Akai Shuichi squatted down and brushed away the snow on the ground, "...It is also possible that his blood was absorbed by the clothes, It hasn't flowed yet."

Matsuda Jinpei also squatted down: "Only a few drops can be discerned. This direction should extend to the northwest?"

"Maybe the boy was rescued. There are still staff in the forest in Bijing. I read from the brochure that there is a factory in this forest." He Tianjing naturally led the topic to what he needed most. That part, "The Wounded Boy Can't Get Too Far Unless There's Someone Else."

"Factory..." Matsuda Jinping fell into memory.

"I seem to remember." Hagiwara Kenji said, "When I was young, I went to play in the woods. I saw it once from a distance. It looked like the outline of a factory. But it was very inside the woods."

"Which direction do you still have an impression?" Tsuruta mirror asked.

Kenji Hagiwara's long hair drooped slightly. He lowered his head and recalled for a moment: "It was evening, and the setting sun was behind the silhouette—roughly in the west."

"Then let's go in this direction for the time being." Tsuruta mirror called up the compass on the phone, "It just so happens that the bloodstain extends in this direction."

Due to the discovery just now, everyone walked in silence all the way, looking around, searching for more traces and clues.The more you go in, the more weird scratches on the trees, with the increasingly drowsy sky, creating a scary jungle atmosphere.

Kenji Hagiwara took out the daisou given by Masao Saiteng, held it in his hand and was vigilant.

The wind howled, making hollow sounds through the trees.

Tsuruta Mirror's footsteps stopped suddenly: "Did you hear anything?"

"Huh?" Matsuda Zhenping's fluffy curly hair was swaying in the wind, and he turned his head.

Neither Akai Shuichi nor Hagiwara Kenji made a sound, they immediately stood up straight and listened carefully.

In the next second, the crackling sound of trees being stepped on cracked sounded crisply, attracting everyone's attention almost instantly!

In the gloomy woods obliquely behind, a humanoid figure with a half-hunted body and drooping hands emerged. This guy's nails were long and sharp, and there was a muffled gurgling sound from his throat. The smell of blood.

Hagiwara Kenji who was holding the knife immediately raised the dagger horizontally, and Akai Shuichi also frowned, slipped his left hand into the knife pocket on his waist, and assumed a fighting posture!

"This, is this a human being?" Matsuda Zhenping widened his eyes.

"He looks like a human being, but I think there is a high probability that he is not a normal person." Tsuruta mirror's tone was still relaxed and leisurely at this time. He looked at the humanoid creature with raised fangs and thick and long nails in front of him. Knocking on the palm of his right hand, "Oh~ I see! Could this be the legendary werewolf?"

At the moment when the voice fell, this black figure rushed up at an incredible speed!

A foul-smelling gust of wind swept through the air, and the sharp teeth and nails were like blades tearing everything apart, attacking with the killing intent of hunting!

"Be careful!" Hagiwara Kenji's tone was serious and anxious, and Akai Hideichi drew out the knife pinned to his waist without hesitation and slashed!

Tsuruta Kagami dodged like a cat, and at the same time quickly took out his phone: "It's okay, it's okay, let's take a picture first~"

Matsuda Jinpei just jumped to the side in shock, and couldn't help blurting out: "In this case, don't take pictures anymore!!"

Simultaneously with his voice, there was the click of a camera, accompanied by a dazzling flash.The sudden flash effect seemed to dazzle the "werewolf", causing him to jump on the spot and shake his head.

"Okay, let's go now." With a leisurely expression, Tsuruta Kagami put the mobile phone after taking the photo into his pocket, pulled Akai Shuichi who was holding a knife to help, and said to Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei.

Akai Shuichi paused slightly.He knew that Tsuruta Jing pulled himself to stop the attack, and he didn't care about the humanoid creature for the time being.So he obediently withdrew his strength, followed the guidance and continued to evacuate westward.

Such a brief daze won't make that "werewolf" stagnate for long, and soon, this guy's low growl and accelerated pace came from behind the crowd again.

This guy doesn't have a high IQ, but he is persistent enough and moves fast.Everyone had to change their positions and use the terrain of the forest to get rid of him.

"So what the hell is this?! Are there really werewolves!" Matsuda Zhenping shouted in shock.

Tsuruta mirror replied lightly: "I just checked the picture with Google on my mobile phone, and it said it was a zombie."

Matsuda Jinpei: "...It's even more outrageous!!"

While looking at the compass, Kenji Hagiwara paid attention to the surrounding paths. A corner of his retina was different, so he raised his voice and said, "Turn to the right, there seems to be a factory!"

Everyone immediately adjusted the direction of their feet when they heard the words. As the distance narrowed, the first thing that jumped into the line of sight was not a factory building, but a huge barbed wire fence with spikes that was several meters high and infinitely extended left and right. The barbed wire is purposely a camouflage color mixed with green, brown and black, and it blends in with the background from a distance.

Seeing this scene, Hagiwara Kenji's heart sank, but then he found a gap in the barbed wire next to a tree on the right.Not huge, but they pass enough!

He held the dagger and faced the rear, his youthful voice was calm and firm: "You go ahead, I'll cut the rear!"

"Give it to me." Tsuruta Kagami approached Hagiwara Kenji with a ghostly pace for the next moment, took the dagger before the opponent could react, and at the same time gave him a slight push, "Go in and find something useful."

"You..." Hagiwara Kenji was shocked by the other party's quick and silent movements, but he reacted immediately.

This kind of moment is not a moment to fight for who is first, and it is important for everyone to seize the moment and act.

Hagiwara Kenji was the first to pass through the barbed wire. He found a few long wires inside and quickly twisted them into a circle, and Matsuda Jinpei who arrived later also assisted.Under Tsuruta Kagami's gaze, Akai Shuichi guided the "werewolf" to the barbed wire together with him.

Then, after Akai Shuuichi and Tsuruta Kagami passed through the gap, Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei put on the wire hoop to hold each other's head when the "werewolf" was trying to get in, Tsuruta Kagami was in the next second Draw the knife and slit that guy's throat!

"!" Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei did not expect Tsuruta Kagami's movements to be so straightforward!

Blood spurted out immediately, and the "werewolf" struggled a few times before becoming silent.Hagiwara Kenji's eyes fell on that guy, a little startled: "..."

"Dead." Tsuruta mirror replied with a side face, very calm, "We are just self-defense."

Kenji Hagiwara looked into those shallow eyes, he opened his mouth, but he could only breathe out.Matsuda Jinpei also didn't know what to say, he bit the tip of his tongue.

Akai Hideichi's long straight hair was messed up a lot after the violent exercise just now, but he didn't pay attention to himself. He frowned and looked at the silver-haired man's arm: "Mr. Mirror, your hand—"

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Tsuruta mirror's right hand.

I saw a long and narrow wound on the upper part of the right wrist, which was secreting drops of blood.

"Oh, I was accidentally scratched by this thing's claw just now." Tsuruta Kagami looked down and suddenly laughed, "I hope this won't be like some zombie movie...but if you get scratched, you should Won't be infected?"

"It's better not." Tsuruta mirror continued, talking to himself.

He raised his amber eyes, lazily engulfed in a tense manner: "—otherwise, none of you will be able to escape."

The silver-haired man smiled at everyone.

The author has something to say:

What will contemporary people do when they encounter danger?

Tsuruta Mirror: Taking pictures.
