pandora box

Zun originally didn't intend to intervene in this matter, but the situation deteriorated overnight to the point where he couldn't say no.

A victim appeared in Tokyo that night. An important government official was found dead in a street. Behind him was the entrance to the largest underground flower street in Tokyo.The person died quite horribly, with burn marks all over his body, which was obviously killed by a person with supernatural powers, which quickly alarmed Scepter4.

According to eyewitness intelligence, the target was identified soon, and HOMRA became their first place to go.

"...Is it really that girl, Ryoko Amano?"

Munakata seemed to say something with emotion, in exchange for Awashima's question: "Director?"

"No, it's nothing." Munakata shook his head as he stretched out his hand to push the eyes on the bridge of his nose.From the first time we met, I noticed the sense of disobedience from that girl, but Munakata only treated her as an ordinary supernatural being on the verge of collapse.Even though the other party was a subject of the Red King, it was no different to him.

Even Chi Wang's own strength is close to the limit, so what is impossible?

But after spending a short time together at the festival that day, Munakata still felt a little pity.He is used to seeing these superpowers who are on the verge of collapse, each of them looks panicked when they realize that they are approaching the limit, and there are very few people like Ryoko who still go to the festival as if nothing had happened Game.

That girl's mentality is very good. If her energy is not close to collapse, she will definitely make great achievements in the future.But judging from the current situation, she is just a member of ordinary supernatural beings.

"List this incident as PrussianBlue and search." Munakata ordered, "The suspect is a supernatural being on the verge of collapse, so don't be careless."

"Yes!"

"Awashima-kun and Fushimi-kun, come with me to the territory of the Red King."

"Yes!"

"...Huh?...Yes."

Faced with the two completely different reactions of the two subordinates, Munakata did not issue any blame to Fushimi.Fushimi Sarubigu was betrayed from HOMRA—this is an unchangeable fact, so it is normal for the other party to be dissatisfied with going to the territory of the Red King.But there is no better candidate arrangement than this. Although it may be hard for this subordinate, in order not to fight as soon as they meet, negotiating candidates is a must.

It's a pity that Qing Wang Zongxiang didn't know his subordinate's idiot attribute towards a member of the red group, otherwise he would not have chosen him to go to the red group together.By the time he knew it, things had already started to develop in a strange direction.

When Jutsu returned to HOMRA, the atmosphere that had been condensed for a while finally became fluid again, and the incident of his disappearance was successfully fooled by Jushu's gags. Zun didn't say much, and neither did Kusanagi. Ask more.The higher-ups have expressed that they don't care about this matter, and no one below will care about it.

But Shi Shu was very worried about Ryoko's safety.In the end, when Ayako appeared, it made it clear that Ryoko had been completely swallowed by her and would not reappear, but Toku felt that it was not that simple.Based on his understanding of Liangzi, Liangzi is not such a simple person who will be swallowed up.

Ah, it's been less than three months since we really got along, but Shi Shu thinks he knows Ryoko well enough.

"Wang, is it okay to leave Liang Zi alone?" Still unable to hold back, Shi Shu asked worriedly.It's not that he doesn't have confidence in Ryoko, it's just that the other party's madness still makes him feel lingering fear.If that guy really stayed in Ryoko's body, would Ryoko have been enduring that lunatic for half a year?

Shishu shuddered at the thought of this.After staying with that lunatic for only two nights, he felt that his three views were greatly challenged, and he couldn't imagine how Ryoko endured it.

As for Shi Shu's question, Zun just snorted coldly: "Don't worry about what that guy said... But if it dares to appear in front of my eyes again, I don't mind giving it a ride."

Using it instead of her, Takashi didn't treat Ayako as a human being.Now that Wang Du said so, Shi Shu couldn't ask for anything more.But Anna said in a low voice: "...will die."

Unable to hear the girl's small voice clearly, Shi Shu looked at her suspiciously: "What?"

"That person will die. Ryoko will kill her."

"... Huh?" Shi Chuan, who suspected that his ears were not working well, couldn't help asking again, "Anna sauce, you said you would die... Is that girl from Pandora? Isn't it Ryoko?"

Seeing Anna nodding silently, Shishu felt that the world was a bit mysterious: "No matter how you look at it, the current situation is not good for Ryoko... Didn't that girl from Pandora say that she has been completely swallowed?"

In order to distinguish Ryoko from Ayako, Ten Tsuka referred to Ayako as Pandora's girl.The question he raised made Kusanagi look this way: "Anna, are you sure?"

When asked if she was sure, Anna showed a little shake on her puppet-like face.She shook her head slowly: "I can only see...a little bit, it keeps changing."

Anna's ability to see through has never made a mistake, but at this time, she is not sure about anything.Kusanagi began to think with his chin in his hands, but Zun suddenly stood up from his seat: "There is nothing to worry about."

"...Ah? Your Majesty?" Not knowing what his friend wanted to express, Kusanagi and Totsu looked at him in surprise.The man in front of him put his hands in his pockets, and his pale golden pupils were full of confidence and arrogance.

"There's nothing to worry about. Ryoko will come back if he can. If that guy shows up again, he will be burned to death. It's as simple as that."

It was rare to say a long sentence at once, but it wasn't what Kusanagi cared most about.This seemed to be... the first time he heard Zun call Ryoko's name directly.

Zun usually has nothing to call Ryoko, when he meets Ryoko directly, he always addresses him as "Hi" or "You", occasionally, when mentioning it in front of others, Zun always calls Ryoko "that guy" or directly calls him full name.

"Respect..." Kusanagi didn't refute his friend's words, but just looked at him with complicated eyes.Just when he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, Chitose Yang ran in from the door.

"Mr. Zun! Brother Kusanagi! The blue dog is here!"

"Qingfu? What are they doing here?" Kusanagi thought he could finally take a breath, and stood up frowning.

Immediately after Chitose came in, the Scepter 4 trio stood in a row, and Munakata took a step forward: "Special investigation, Red King, Ryoko Amano in your team committed murder on purpose, please hand her over."

"What are you talking about?!...Monkey! You still have the face to come to HOMRA!" Hatta jumped up and shouted halfway when he saw Fushimi. He turned around and pointed at Fushimi.

Fushimi Wenyan, who was originally unmotivated, raised his head and looked at Hatta, his eyes slowly lit up: "Tsk...misaki...are you out of your mind? I didn't hear what the room chief said just now. Someone in HOMRA deliberately killed someone at risk. Ah misaki~~"

"What do you want to say?!" Being easily provoked, Hatta threw the skateboard to the ground, "Do you want to fight?!"

"mi→sa→ki↑~~ I can't stand the provocation as usual!" I deliberately stood on the side away from Munakata to ensure that if he fights, he won't get in the way. Seeing that Hatta had rushed up, Fushimi didn't hesitate Draw the knife directly, "Fushimi draws the knife urgently."

"Ding——" There was a sound of metal collisions, and the people in the bar stared dumbfounded at the pair who fought first.

... What kind of divine development is this? !

Not only the petrochemical members of both sides, but even the two generals were unable to react immediately.I didn't expect that the two people would react so violently when they met, and the original search operation suddenly became difficult. The other members of HOMRA were all eager to try. Seeing that Zhou Fangzun did not intend to stop his subordinates, Munakata immediately felt a big difference.

"Fushimi-kun stop! It's search time!"

As a last resort, he had to use the power of the king to separate the two people who were fighting to the death. Munakata yelled at his subordinates, "It is unnecessary to fight against the subordinates of the Red King. We came here only for Ryoko Amano."

"Tsk." Fushimi, who was interrupted in the battle, seemed in a bad mood, but he didn't make any rebuttals, but obediently closed his sword and stood behind Munakata again.On the other side, Hatta was also taken back by Kusanagi for re-education, leaving the two kings face to face.

"Zhou Fang, hand over that girl." Munakata said straightforwardly, "She should have collapsed after doing such a thing."

Zun who had been watching the farce while smoking a cigarette until just now let out a sigh of relief: "You are late, Munakata."

Munakata frowned sharply.

"Although I'm a little embarrassed..." Kusanagi added, "It is said that the child's body was taken by someone, and he is no longer here. Speaking of which, we are also victims. Before Shishu was taken away by that child, he just came back .”

"Please explain clearly." Awashima suddenly noticed that the sense of coercion on his boss suddenly became heavier, and the aura of the king poured out without the slightest concealment, "What is going on. This matter may be related to The safety of this world is also uncertain."

Feeling puzzled by King Qing's sudden coercion, Kusanagi did not retreat in the slightest: "That's the thing, I also..."

"Derivatives of Pandora's Box." Zun on the side interrupted, "That's what Ryoko called it."

Munakata's pupils constricted.

After a while, he finally spoke, his voice was as calm as ever, but with undeniable courage: "Awashima-kun, send an order immediately to change the search of this incident to the Royal Blue level, and give all team members an emergency call." The sword permits, once you see the suspect, kill him immediately!" Turning his eyes to Zun again, Munakata said, "Zhou Fang, this matter is no longer for you to stop. That girl, if she is really swallowed by Pandora's derivatives, She will destroy the world."
