[Comprehensive] Professional Blocker

Then, that winter, a huge shadow passed across the sky.

When Kusanagi called, it was at one o'clock in the morning on December 12th. Li You rushed to Barbara at night, and only had time to hold the cold hand of ten bundles of Dotara. The boy who smiled warmly in the sun, So cruelly abandoning the king he followed and his cherished companions, he left forever.

Li You walked up the narrow stairs to the second floor of Barbara. In the dark and cramped room, Zhou Fangzun spread out and leaned on the sofa. His posture of looking up at the sky seemed to be the same as before, but it was not the same after all.The violence that was bound by the ten bundles of tatara's gentleness lost its shackles and came out in full force, covering the whole body of the red king like a cloud of haze.

--"revenge."

The hoarse voice tore through the silent darkness, Li You stood quietly at the door, watching Zhou Fangzun inside sitting up facing him, with the corners of his lips curled up to show a wild and arrogant smile.

The next day, Shishu Duoliang's shooting incident was judged to be a crime involving the participation of supernatural beings, and the supernatural organization Scepter4 was officially filed. However, the first thing they confronted was not the murderer, but to track down the real culprit and destroy everywhere like a rampage. The Chizhi Clan Barbara.

That night, after S4 closed the team, Munakata Reisi's office.

In the tea room next to the desk, the pot on the tea stove is spraying steam, and the fragrance of bitter tea overflows the room. The three of them form a circle on the tatami mat. Seri Awashima is sitting upright to report today’s combat report. Yu crossed his legs and was busy typing in the notebook at the same time. The most idle person was probably Munakata Reiji. He walked the process of the tea ceremony leisurely, and when he leaned over to prepare the tea, he calmly poured the red bean paste beside him. Pushed in Li You's direction.

"Above." When Awashima said this, Li You finally breathed a sigh of relief. He put the notebook aside, slightly stretched his stiff fingers from continuous work, and ate red bean paste as if nothing had happened. Cooperatingly handed the teacup full of tea soup to Awashima, and after Li You quickly disposed of the mysteriously colored food, he said compactly, "Shiina, now you are officially ordered to withdraw from the combat operation against the barbara. There is no objection to the investigation into the murder of Tokuta Tara."

The unexpected order made Li You subconsciously look at Reisi Munakata, and when he met those cold eyes that seemed to see everything clearly, his heart suddenly filled with unknown emotions, "...Yes."

So Munakata pushed his glasses expressionlessly, and began to say a concluding sentence similar to an order to chase away guests, "Awashima-kun, thank you for your hard work from now on."

"Yes." The female adjutant at the side nodded slightly with neither humility nor condescension, and said solemnly, "This is my job."

"Then, you can go back and rest." Then, he turned his attention to Li You, "Shiina, stay here for a while."

When the sound of closing the door symbolizing Awashima's complete departure sounded, the stagnant and serious atmosphere in the room subsided abruptly. Munakata Reishi raised the corners of his lips and looked at Li You with a half-smile, "It seems that Awashima-kun has despised him."

Li You didn't respond to this ridicule. The current situation has left him no time to care about others. It is unjust to be loyal to his duty, and it is dereliction of duty to follow his heart. What he had envisioned before joining the youth group finally happened. The death It's not someone else, it's Shishu Tara. If he is a free man who is not from any clan, at this moment, he should join the red group without hesitation, and avenge Shishu at all costs.And with such thoughts, he is no longer able to suppress the red group that caused the turmoil as "S4's Shiina Yu".

Reiji Munakata clearly judged the situation accurately, and weighed the situation, so he calmly and proactively transferred him away from the front line before he decided to apply for resignation, avoiding the struggle between faith and loyalty. However, this kind of transfer order, which is tantamount to "leaving without permission with the acquiescence of the superior", still involves personal affairs after all. Even if Wang's clan has absolutely no guts to question Munakata's decision, it will still cause trouble for this person after all, and of course he will be punished. Awashima, whose philosophy is to "do his best to help the boss share the pressure", looks down on him.

So Li You looked up at Zongxiang seriously, "Thank you."

"Oh, it's such a rare thank you, so I accepted it with peace of mind." The man opposite gracefully showed an obvious arc of smile, narrowed his eyes slightly to make the cold eyes thinner, "Hatred is not all It is negative, and sometimes it may be able to help and get unexpected results, but if it is just investigation work, it is still a bit overqualified."

"..." This is Li You who quickly understood the meaning of Zongxiang's "failed to squeeze you dry".

"But it doesn't matter, I will get it back for such a huge loss."

Li You, who usually ignores such jokes and taunts, lowered his eyes abnormally today, and his firm response seemed to be a promise, "Yes."

……

On December 12th, the fourth day of the death of ten bunches of Tatara, BARHOMRA.

"Yo, Shiina, you must be very tired recently." Kusanagi looked at Li You's light blue eyes, the busy investigation work these days obviously made him feel uncomfortable, "I'm embarrassing you."

"...You think too much." Li You replied slowly.

For him, the investigation work that only needs thinking and visiting around is much easier than the previous confrontation with the Barbara. He is just not used to such a quiet Barbara. Following Kusanagi's greetings, Tokusuta Tara would smile and complain, "King is stupid and doesn't follow the rules, Kusanagi-san plays well but finds it troublesome", while inviting him to play shogi.

Li You pursed his lips tightly, and calmly took the strawberry milk that Kusanagi handed over, "Aren't you busy?"

"Short rest." Anna was not present, so Kusanagi lit a cigarette, his eyes contradictoryly carried the complexity and desolation, and fell into the void with the diffuse smoke, "You also know the situation of Zun."

Li You remained silent, remembering Zhou Fangzun's recent statistical report on Weissman's deviation, subconsciously frowned.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and after a long time, Kusanagi Izumo sighed deeply, "Shiina, this is our matter for Barumura, you don't have to worry so much, just do your own thing."

"Thank you," Li You said, looking at him calmly with dark eyes, "I've been doing this all the time."

The answer was not expected, Kusanagi was startled for a moment, and suddenly realized something, "...Although I don't want to say that, but Shiina, if you want to persuade you, you should give up." He said calmly, "That is his choice. "

The calm voice was not always calm and calm, but more like a pool of stagnant water filled with hopeless silence. Li You stagnated in surprise, and said, "I have no intention of persuading him," let alone Zhou Fangzun should not abuse his power , as the leader of Barbara, his choice is beyond reproach, what surprised Li You at this moment was Kusanagi's attitude, as if he was helpless about something, so he had to let the natural flow of frustration and negativity ask, "Are you pampering him?"

Kusanagi didn't deny it, he let out a long sigh of relief and leaned against the bar counter, and smiled wryly with his back turned to Li You, "Respect him, I'm so tired. Even though I said that, it's just my own opinion," he said After a pause, he looked up at the ceiling with obvious helplessness, "The king's world, probably only they can understand."

……

On the second floor of Baru Wuluo, when Li You opened the door, Anna, who was quietly playing with glass beads, stood up and ran towards him. The sound of footsteps startled Zhou Fangzun, who was not sleeping soundly. The red flame burst out suddenly, blowing out As if attacking Li You, he immediately leaned over to pull Anna, opened the blue barrier, and forcibly received the powerful Wang Zhili, waiting for Zhou Fangzun to fully wake up.

Li You put down Anna, and threw a box of strawberry milk to the man on the bed, "Shocking."

Zhou Fangzun unceremoniously caught Gulu Gulu and gulped it down a few times before letting out a long sigh of relief, "... Huh." He turned his gaze to Li You's direction, and asked in a drawling tone, "Are you sent by Zongxiang to say Are you a guest?"

Li You didn't answer right away, he was holding Anna up five times as usual, and after letting the little girl go out to find Kusanagi, he sat down beside Zhou Fangzun, "Probably." His voice was calm, "You You know, you might die."

"...Probably." Even the answer was plagiarized, which shows Zhou Fangzun's carelessness.

Li You frowned helplessly, looked at Zhou Fangzun's listless face, and couldn't say the phrase "You are too selfish" that had been brewing for a long time.However, if he didn't say it, it doesn't mean that the genius Chi Wang couldn't see it. Zhou Fangzun handed the empty milk box to Li You, lay down again, and turned his back to him, "Anyway, I never used the king's The identity acted."

"Are you playing tricks?" Since you are not a king, then even your strength should be discarded together. This is completely true, Li You said indifferently, "Speaking like this, but constantly using the stone plate to supply Is it the power of the king?"

The person behind seemed to be slightly stagnant, "...Hmph. You talk too much."

"If you die, Anna will cry. Kusanagi...maybe squatting silently in the toilet and crying."

"...Ah." Zhou Fangzun looked up at the sky indifferently, "It will be hard for you then."

"..." Li You was startled slightly, opened his mouth to say something, but looked at Zhou Fangzun's back but could only remain silent, and suddenly understood Kusanagi's numbness.

This is Zhou Fangzun's fifth year as the Red King. Similar to Munakata Reishi, he must always be sober and cold. For five consecutive years, he needs to suppress the power that is clamoring for explosion and destruction in his body. How painful it must be.

During the recent confrontation with S4, Zhou Fangzun's tendency to use his power was obviously a bit disregarded, just like a trialer who has been carrying a heavy cross in the desert for a long time. Overwhelmed, the agitated emotion won in the tug-of-war with reason, clamoring to die with such a fate—since no one can change the ending of the sword of Damocles falling, instead of trembling to maintain its dilapidated height Xuan, it's better to let this life bloom with the most brilliant brilliance, it's not that there is no reluctance, but that it's okay, Zhou Fangzun is already satisfied enough to be able to come together to this day.

Li You occasionally thought, what would happen if King Chi was Munakata Reishi.The man who is so arrogant and self-confident that he is almost conceited may smile and say with interest, "The journey without weight is too boring", and then for the sake of righteousness, his clan, and the responsibilities he shoulders, he will be desperate Struggling and enduring, even if you are faltering with bruises all over your body, you must fight against fate beautifully until the last moment.

Therefore, Munakata Reishi will never be able to become the Scarlet King—it was Li You who came to such a conclusion for the first time to experience the real feeling of the existence of the stone plate, and the chosen king would have only a dead end in the end. Such a principle really wants to be destroyed.

"Zhou Fangzun." There was no light in the room, and under the dim light, the darkness in the depths of those pupils seemed to come from ancient times, calm and firm as a rock, and what caused controversy was not the decision to revenge, but to use one's life so hard to achieve one's goal. From a personal point of view, Li You likes and even admires Munakata Reiji's attitude, but just as Zhou Fangzun wants to express himself to the fullest, Li You's idea of ​​letting him survive with such a burden is also selfish, so if you can have Opportunity to choose -

"If you could live as an ordinary person again, would you seriously stay by their side?"

After a long silence.

"A meaningless assumption." Zhou Fangzun said, "When did you start to be unrealistic."

……

Back to S4 from Barbara, the night is already very deep.Just as Li You turned a corner, he saw Reisi Munakata, who was leaning against a tree and watching him quietly.He walked over with a blank face, and heard him say, "The subordinates always run to cooperate with the enemy, I will be a little troubled."

Before Li You could refute, he frowned because of the faint smell of alcohol on the other party, "You..." He hesitated to speak as soon as he spoke, he couldn't utter the words of reproach anyway, but he didn't want to pamper him too much, so he had no choice but to With a slumped face, he continued to walk forward, "Go back and rest."

"Heh." There was a chuckle from behind, followed by a slight collision sound, Reji Munakata snorted softly, Li You immediately stopped and looked back, and saw him holding the tree with one hand as if he had just stabilized his body.

When he turned back and took Reisi Munakata's hand and led him forward, Li You thought about it and asked nonsense, "How much did you drink?"

But he got a response that didn't answer the question, "It's so warm." The man who said this squinted his eyes comfortably, and tightened Li You's hand that had just left the handbag, and the smile on his lips deepened a little.

"..." Has this state been activated? It seems that he has indeed drunk a lot.

In the reference room of the general affairs department, Li You warmed milk for Zongxiang to hangover as usual, and when he came over with a cup, Zongxiang on the sofa took off his glasses and frowned, pressing his long fingers on his temples.He put the cup on the tea table, went around and pulled Munakata's hand, watched Munakata habitually raise his chin obediently, let him untie the scarf wrapped under his skirt, and then let out a sigh of relief.

Li You put the milk in Zongxiang's hand, went to soak the towel again, and took advantage of the interval between the other party's drinking milk to apply cold compresses to his forehead and eyes, when he heard him say, "You seem to have gone to the Air Traffic Control Department today," Zongxiang sat up, took off the towel from his forehead and handed it back to Li You, his ultramarine eyes were filled with coldness, "Is there anything you care about?"

Even indulgence has a strict time limit, this is Reisi Munakata, Li You stood in place without saying a word, looking at Munakata with complex emotions fleeting, "The flight path of that airship."

The airship Himmelreich, which has been hovering over Tokyo for 70 years, appeared in the airspace near the Hirasaka Building 10 minutes after the death of ten beams. It was discovered by accident while investigating all the objects that appeared at the accident site before and after the incident in detail.

"It seems that there was a sudden change after that day, but the evidence is not sufficient and it will need to be observed for a period of time."

"Very meaningful information." Munakata said, and then asked knowingly, "Shiina, you are indeed a very good person, but don't you already have a photo of the suspect? Why do you need to spend so much time?"

Li You glanced at Zongxiang silently, "Intuition."

So one or two creatures like Wang are so worrying.

……

On December 12th, the seventh day after the death of Jutsu Tara, after the S15 morning exercise, Munakata Reisi's office.

"Shiina, time is short, so I will speak straight to the point," the young Qing Wang sat behind the elegant oak table, his whole body was frighteningly cold, his eyes under the lens were blazing with coldness, and he stared coldly. Looking at Li You in front of you, "You've been too tense lately, I don't want to cause any complications at such a tense moment."

Li You has been in a bad state for the past two days, as if he was confused about why, his soul that lost his goal was restless, clamoring for a powerful force to calm this anxiety, this change is obviously reflected in becoming In terms of the ruthless and desperate attacking style, today he even accidentally injured Seri Awashima in the morning exercise. Although he only scratched his shoulder lightly, if Li You didn't restrain himself in time at that time, Awashima's The arm may fly out entirely.

"Isn't it a bit overwhelming to try to interfere with the king's way with your power?" Zongxiang pushed his glasses to cover up the strangeness that flashed in his eyes, "Have you forgotten your oath?"

"The sword bearer uses the sword to defeat the enemy, and our righteousness does not allow pollution." Li You paused here, and looked at Zongxiang calmly, "It was my dereliction of duty. No matter how you execute, I will have no objection."

Has even the tone of voice turned into a distant honorific? Munakata stood up and walked around the table to stop in front of him. Then, the corners of his thin lips were raised slightly, revealing a faint smile——sometimes, Qing Wang’s face is ashamed. The state of the expression is not the scariest.The surrounding air gradually condensed, and the terrifying pressure was so thick that it was hard to breathe, but Li You still stood upright unmoved, letting Zongxiang put one hand on his shoulder, and slowly leaned over to draw the distance between the two closer When he was within walking distance, his warm breath brushed against his earlobe, "What should I do, this appearance, no matter what, doesn't seem like admitting a mistake."

Li You didn't speak, but the stern look in his eyes undoubtedly showed affirmative meaning.

"Oh," Munakata Reisi chuckled, and turned his whole face closer to Li You, looking deeply into those dark eyes, trying to find a trace of emotion from them, "I was very interested in this dead face, But sometimes it’s really annoying to watch." He sighed slightly, the fine air between his lips entangled Li You's breath, "Do you regret it, join Scepter4."

"Regret can't change anything." Li You said indifferently.

At the same time as the voice fell, I felt the hand on the shoulder suddenly tightened, and the bony long fingers possessed incomparably huge strength, which almost gave people the illusion that the shoulder blade was about to be crushed.

"It seems that you have indeed regretted it." Qing Yang's ending sound carried a clear sarcasm, and perhaps a slight disappointment, and the next moment, these rather personal mood swings were immediately overwhelmed by the subsequent cold words. Cut off, "Shiina, you are not suitable for the secret service now." Munakata said, "I don't need people who are useless."

The terminal placed on the table rang at this moment, it was the notification that Barbara started to move, Munakata Reishi stood up straight again, walked around Li You, picked up the unloaded knife and hung it on his waist, and walked out with his back to Li You At that time, Shen Sheng ordered, "Now all your authority is officially suspended. Due to the tense situation, the order will take effect until 24:[-] tonight. Member Yu Shiina, temporarily transfer you to the intelligence department to serve as a security guard. The person in charge is Fushimi Sarubi Gu, immediately dispatch with the team urgently."

……

The Scepter 4 armored vehicle heading for the Hirasaka Building in the town of town.

Although Fushimi Saru Hiko didn't intend to care about anything except Misaki Hatta, but the figure in the rearview mirror was too obtrusive. He endured and endured, but still couldn't hold back his turbulent impatience, and let out a "tsk" in displeasure , pouted, and met that gaze in the rearview mirror.

He immediately turned his eyes away, scratched the burned tattoo on his collarbone angrily, and could not restrain himself from slandering Munakata Reji who made all this, when the man behind him said, "Because the annoying guy is present, you can't concentrate on your work, are you Such an incompetent person?"

Fushimi knew that this was just what the other party said on purpose to remind him, but it was because this sentence hit his nail on the head, so he felt even more unhappy.It's fine if it's a strange creature like a king, anyway, he has never been interested in the king's world, even if it is thoroughly analyzed, it will not affect it, but a guy like Yu Shiina who clearly has no power to restrain the king , but put on an arrogant, omniscient overlooking posture all day long, I really can't restrain my disgust no matter what.

So he retorted bitterly, "Tsk, you are the one who is incompetent."

Li You didn't know that his simple facial paralysis was interpreted by Fushimi to have such a profound meaning. At this moment, feeling the unparalleled malice of the other party, a little powerlessness suddenly surged in his heart, but in fact he still had his face paralyzed, and said in a cold voice, "Don't worry, you don't have to be patient for long."

Although I really don't want to admit it, Fushimi, who was once again seen through his thoughts, couldn't help but froze, but if this kind of fear-like reaction is all attributed to the reason "I have never won a battle against this person", I always feel that Not too possible.So this inexplicable guy is really too irritating!

"So stop thinking about those messy things." This is Li You, who is continuously and effectively reducing Fushimi's favorability. Of course, he didn't do it on purpose, but arrived at the destination, and it's time to get ready for work.

The staff in the car were already in place quickly, and the detailed monitoring holographic projection was displayed in front of his eyes. Li You got out of the car expressionlessly. Not long after, he saw red flames shooting up into the sky from the door facing the armored car. The high temperature turned the surrounding scenery into a muddy state. He immediately drew his knife and opened the blue barrier to protect the public property behind him. Then, amidst the rising sirens, the air in the dome began to twist and twist——

The gemstone inlaid on the hilt of the sword exudes a mournful red glow, and the cold electric light licks the broken sword body. Li You stands there quietly, looking up indifferently, the thick black irises are silently printed in the air and gradually approaching. A crumbling, crumbling greatsword.

Only the king can understand the king's world, so what? Can understanding restore Zhou Fangzun's sword of Damocles intact?Killing a king can only be a king, isn't the existence of opposing kings just to restrain each other, and even kill the king of injustice?Even if they cherish each other and understand each other, they can't change this fate. Therefore, he never intends to do the useless work of understanding the king. Compared with such illusory things, the real sense of life and existence is more important.

On the same day, Chi Wang Zhou Fangzun took the initiative to accept the youth group's imprisonment.
