Congratulations on Your Arrest

  Chapter 166 Acquisition of source power points, killing people with **** hands! (5.761K asking for a monthly ticket)

  Takehara South Private Academy, Chao Neng Gymnasium.

  The actual combat training room on the second floor.

  In the middle of the ashram where the light can be seen, two people in protective gear stand with wooden knives.

   Tip to tip.

The feet of the two of them and the hands holding the swords are very steady, but the gazes that look at each other are like beasts lurking in the grass, not only for each other on the field, but also for other people sitting around watching the battle. A stormy pressure.

   "I've thought about how strong the Higashino Alumni Association is. After all, the person who won the 'Five in a Row' battle award and the group award at the exchange meeting last time, I just didn't expect that elementary school student Shikame to be so powerful!"

   "That's right, that elementary school student just easily defeated that fellow Sagi who was at the second stage and the fourth stage, right now his strength is at least the second stage and the fifth stage? Maybe even the third stage is possible!"

   "Knowing that they are powerful, you still call them 'primary students' behind their backs? You boys are really disgusting! Be careful to be beaten by \'primary students' next time!"

   "Ah, hey, who do you think will win this time?"

   "Then there is no need to ask."

  The voice just fell,

   The two who had been silent for almost half a minute suddenly moved.

  No me one knife style. Onikiri!

   Just listen to the crisp sound of the clang!

  The two figures on the field have changed positions.

  I saw the slender figure on the right side of the dojo suddenly split into three, and the three wooden knives in his hands were like ghosts, and the petite figure flew out instantly.

In the next second, Higashinohara stood where Kame Ryoka had been standing before, subconsciously brandishing the knife in his hand, and immediately laughed in his heart, but he was still satisfied with his [Wuwo Yidao style] Demon Cut Sword just now Although the proficiency is still at the elementary level (3/10), the "intracranial sword practice" in this half a month has already looked good.

  After regaining his senses, Higashinohara went straight over to help Ryoka Kamu who had fallen into a toad.

Even though his Kageshun.Triple Shadow's Onikiri immediately retracted his strength the moment he hit the opponent's protective gear, but now that his [Physical] attribute is as high as 30.6, he is still too much for the petite Ryoka Kame. heavy".

  The latter staggered back a few steps almost instantly, and fell to the ground with his **** almost on his back.

  This scene might be a bit embarrassing for others, but fortunately Ryoka Kame has a petite and cute figure, but she looks a little indescribably cute.

  At this time, facing Higashinohara's outstretched hand, Shikame Ryoka still looked a little dazed.

   It took a while for her to react, her little face under the armor blushed slightly, she slightly raised her hand to touch Higashinohara's outstretched arm, got up and hurriedly let go.

  Even if Ryoka Shikame's current strength has jumped to the second stage and fifth stage, she is still a proper top student in Class A of the first year, but she still can't get up the courage to approach the increasingly dazzling Higashinohara.

   "Student Higashino, win!"

  The actual combat class teacher Takeru Nakazaki shouted loudly, and the people around him also responded, and the applause quickly joined together.

  Class F of the first year is a class for repeated students, and basically belongs to the "weeds" that can be stepped on in the superpower academy where strength is paramount.

  No one expected that in the last semester, Higashinohara, a "genius" who had accumulated a lot of accumulation and made breakthroughs every three years after repeating grades, led the first grade to win the group award of the exchange meeting.

   Now Ryoka Kame, a persistent kendo girl, also shows signs of being rewarded for her hard work, and her ability level is advancing by leaps and bounds. If this momentum continues, she may be able to enter the elite class of Class A of the second year after the academic proficiency test at the end of February.

  With such dazzling two people in class F of the first year, who would dare to say that the repeater class is a pile of weeds?

The most substantive advantage is that after the exchange meeting ended about two weeks ago, the school's key training policy for Higashinohara was quickly implemented. It can be regarded as dipped together.

   Applause fell slowly, Higashinohara and Kame Ryoka both took off their training armor.

The teacher of the actual combat class, Nakazaki Takeru, walked over with a smile, patted Higashinohara on the shoulder, and said in admiration, "Although I have never learned ancient swordsmanship, I have some knowledge. The sword style you just saw should be the one-sword style. It’s strange. Why I’ve been teaching for so many years and I’ve never seen it before. Well, it’s somewhat similar to the Yixin Yidao style in Kyoto, but it adds a bit more domineering power.”

   Higashinohara’s style [Onigiri] is derived from the Great Swordsman’s Seventh Judgment Envoy Gaius Rhine’s [No Self One-Sword Style], and was born out of the [Yishin One-Sword Style] in the Taogong Dojo.

   Except for the judge Xinde Fu who also died under his hands, he did not teach it to anyone. It is inevitable that Nakazaki Ken was surprised that he had not seen it.

   "Well, I learned this pose from watching videos on the Internet. I usually like to think about it and make a little change." Higashinohara scratched his head and thought for a while.

  Nakazaki Ken showed approval on his face.

   Masters of swordsmanship throughout the ages,

  Who doesn’t like to ponder?

  Learn what you want, and in the end, you will be just a lifelong apprentice.

Thinking of this, Nakazaki Ken looked at the boy in front of him who was getting stronger and stronger with some emotion—he had taken Higashinohara for three years, and witnessed with his own eyes that this former "lower student" failed twice in the exams to enter the second grade How to grow from a decadent teenager to an inspirational model in a little bit.

"The annual academic proficiency test will be held at the end of this month. Don't worry, with your [Shadow Instant] that can condense three real images, there is definitely no problem with the ability level assessment. At least it is the third level, but the test stage It depends on your performance on the spot.”

   "But now that you have initially mastered an ancient style of swordsmanship, the ancient style of swordsmanship is the way of killing and conquering. Those who fight with swords have a natural advantage in actual combat examinations, so there is no need to worry too much."

  Takehara Minami Private Academy’s passing line for the first grade to the second grade is the second stage and 3 stages, and the third grade is the second stage to the 5th stage. If you want to graduate smoothly, you must break through the third stage.

Higashinohara actually restrained his strength a little bit just now. Under normal circumstances, his [Agility] is as high as 50, and now he can completely urge four shadows to form an instant prison shadow killing array, which is the talent sequence 98 gray ability [Shadow Instant] The fourth-order peak state that can be achieved.

   It can be said that even with his normal attributes, he stands out among his peers.

However, thinking of the several times of head-on friction with the Judgment Division, and the sudden reduction in the popularity of the topic of arresting the high-risk "Captain Dragonfly" in the news media recently, he felt the strange calm before the storm. The improvement of strength has become more and more urgent.

  Now, the teaching in high school has been less and less helpful to him in all aspects of his normal strength growth.

  After thinking for a while, Higashinohara asked, "Mr. Nakazaki, there is actually something I would like to ask. I heard that you can choose to skip a grade during the academic examination at Takehara Minami Private Academy."

   "Skipping a level?"

  Ken Nakazaki was stunned for a moment, glanced at Higashinohara, nodded thoughtfully and said, "There is such a rule, but if you skip a grade, you should think about it."

  The subtext of this statement is.

The second stage and the third stage are only the passing line for the second grade. Even if Higashinohara's strength has reached the third stage, if he enters the second grade, he can still enter the class A to enjoy the special treatment. Can he enter the third grade? Can the third grade enjoy the preferential treatment? But not necessarily.

The passing line for the third grade is the second grade 5th grade, which is only one step away from the third grade. Among the geniuses who will be promoted to the third grade in the next school year in Zhuyuannan Private Academy, there are many capable people with the third grade, and there may even be elites who are at the peak of the third grade. .

  Considering the innate gap in Higashinohara's own talent sequence, it is too difficult to stand out.

   "I want to try."

   Higashinohara said with a smile, "After all, I have been 'behind' for more than two years."

  Hearing this, Nakazaki Ken also nodded in understanding, but then thought of the awakened talent of the confident boy in front of him, and he couldn't help shaking his head again.

  Talent Sequence 98 Shadow Instant.

  This kind of gray ordinary ability, no matter how fast the early level is improved, but the growth rate is really too low.

In the future, at the stage of the fourth-order power users, they will be surpassed one by one by those students with high talent sequences around them. Judging from the records left by [Yingshun] ability users in history, there is no one who has stepped into the fifth-order power user. hope.

Takeru Nakazaki has been teaching at Takehara Minami Private Academy for so many years. He has seen many low-sequence abilities full of high-spirited self-confidence in the first grade. After being promoted to the second and third grades of high school, he was beaten and gradually faded. public example.

  Thinking of this, Nakazaki Ken glanced at Higashinohara, and found that his face was also a little "sad", and he wanted to be relieved but didn't know how to speak.

  He suddenly moved slightly in his heart, and said in a low voice, "Don't be discouraged! Young people should be more optimistic. Have you read the news about 'that man' these days?"

   "The man?"

   Higashinohara, who was thinking about what the Judgment Department and the Metropolitan Police Department would secretly do in the near future, couldn't help being stunned for two seconds.

   "It's 'Captain Dragonfly'."

Nakazaki rubbed his chin, and said thoughtfully, "According to my observation, the ability he urged should also be [Shadow Instant], but I don't know what ability he fused to climb such a terrifying peak. Unrestricted field. The existence of the power that can resist the rules, the field that many people with the seventh level of absolute ability can only dream of. Tsk tsk, that guy is a unique genius!"

  Higashi Yehara's expression became even weirder when he heard the words,

   Being licked like this in front of someone

   I'm not ashamed.

Nakazaki Ken noticed the change in Higashinohara's face while he was talking, and quickly stopped, "The teacher didn't say this to hurt you. We don't know the scene of the gods fighting on the top of the peak. Most ordinary ability users may be like this." I have never had a chance to appreciate it in my life."

"I said this to tell you that there is no need to feel discouraged. Since there are already [Yingshun] ability users who have broken through the shackles of the fourth level in history, you may not be able to one day. As an ability user, the most important thing is have a firm belief”

   Higashinohara looked at the rare "confidant big brother" look on the face of the actual combat teacher Takeru Nakazaki, although he knew that the other party was comforting and encouraging him.

  But the examples he cited here don't seem to have any "relief" effect.

   But at this moment, Higashinohara suddenly froze for a moment, grasping a word that the other party said just now in his mind-unlimited field?

   "What is an Unlimited Domain?" he asked subconsciously.

Nakazaki Ken was also stunned for a while. He didn't expect that he would be relieved so much, but Higashinohara noticed the word. Although he really wanted to say "this is not something we should think about", but he was afraid of dampening the enthusiasm of the other party, so he opened his mouth to explain :

"The unrestricted field is an open field. I don't know much about the specific teacher, but I once heard the principal say that if [field expansion] is compared to a canvas, the unrestricted field is a kind of painting that can be drawn out of thin air without a canvas." A truly magical skill! The man who is now officially wanted and rewarded has mastered this kind of field, so he can have the qualifications to fight against the eighth-level absolute ability."

   Higashinohara was taken aback when he heard that, and continued to ask, "You mean...that man's speed compound ability?"

   "Composite ability?" Nakazaki shook his head immediately after hearing this, "No, no, no, that's not a simple compound ability, it's an unlimited time domain!"

  Emperor’s Birthday Baiyu Square has compounded the speed ability of [Shadow Instant] and [Time Hourglass], although it feels different from before, but he didn’t think too much about it.

  But at this time, from the mouth of Nakazaki Ken, a well-informed instructor of the actual combat class, he had the illusion of "I used to be so stupid" in a trance.

   Expanded. Expanded.

  Today is February 11th, Friday, and it has been almost two weeks since the "Sky Tree Incident".

   After class in the afternoon, when Higashinohara got on the Hanzomon Line tram, he looked through the window and saw the campaign posters of the next prime minister on the walls of some advertisements at the tram station.

The background color of the poster is gray, and on it is a middle-aged man with outstanding looks and bloodshot eyes—this photo seems to have been taken on the second day after the Sky Tree Incident, during the next general election in Wano Country The most vocal grassroots councilor Higashimori Kawatani was accidentally photographed by the media when he was giving a speech on the streets of Chiyoda District.

   At the bottom of the poster is a campaign slogan.

   "The Prime Minister of every people!"

  After the tram started, many passengers in the car began to discuss the latest hot event, which is the election of the prime minister.

Most people have a good impression of the grass-roots Senator Higashimori, especially when he shouted from the bottom of his heart in his speech after the tragedy of the Tokyo Sky Tree Incident that he wanted to be "the Prime Minister of every people" Those words raised his approval rating, which was already far ahead nationwide, by another one percentage point.

  Higashi Nohara listened to the discussion of everyone in the tram, most of which were about the upcoming general election at the end of the month and some hot events in the past few days.

Speaking of which, under the public opinion blockade of the official media and the deterrence of the Judgment Department's terror, the follow-up impact of the **** cleansing incidents that happened under the sky tree two weeks ago about the Judgment Department's **** cleansing of the people who were descended by strange demons and out of control, has reached today. bottomed out.

   Almost no one continued to discuss.

  It's no wonder if you think about it.

  In this era of information explosion, various things happen every day.

According to the law of communication, people only pay attention to hot events for about 5-6 days, and two weeks is enough for many people who were heartbroken and angry when they saw the news from various channels to return to normal life. .

  Life always goes on.

  Ordinary people always have to go about their own lives.

But in a corner that many people have never paid attention to, many of the survivors of the "Sky Tree Incident" who were taken to the hospital for observation two weeks ago were released after passing the safety factor assessment, and returned home after the disaster. family reunion.

  Of course, there are also some survivors whose names were silently erased from the hospital roster by the black-robed execution team, and correspondingly disappeared completely from the world.

  Get off the tram and go back to Aragaki's apartment.

  Tomorrow weekend will be closed, and Higashinohara will resume his status as "employee emperor".

Speaking of which, since the exchange meeting won the "Fighting Award" and "Group Award" and started to enjoy the generous subsidies of the academy again, Higashinohara can't talk about buying a house with the money now, at least he doesn't have to worry about rent and food anymore, basically No need to work extra to make money.

  But this time is different. This time, Higashinohara volunteered to join the Aragaki Detective Agency for an investigation commission of "unnatural death".

  The results of the investigation of the First Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department have not come out for a long time, but the family members of the deceased seemed to be very anxious, and finally entrusted a number of detective agencies to investigate in private, and Aragaki Detective Agency is just one of them.

   Higashinohara passed by the detective agency on his way home from school yesterday. When he heard about this case, he thought of the "suicide case" of Ryoka Kame's mother last time. He felt that a person with abilities might be involved this time.

   You must know that the ancient swordsmanship that Higashinohara has practiced during this period of time [Wuwo Yidao Style], which fell from the eighth-level great swordsman, has progressed slowly, and he has only mastered the four-style sword style.

  As for the secret technique [Selfless Mirror Heart] and the secret technique [One Sword Shura] that can ignore speed, the progress bar is stuck at (0/100) and does not increase at all.

Higashinohara had secretly speculated that this kind of self-contained ancient style of swordsmanship might have to wait for him to learn all the seven common sword styles or upgrade to the intermediate level before he could proceed to the next step of practicing the secret technique [Wuwu Jingxin] And the secret secret [One Sword Asura].

  However, time waits for no one, and the sense of crisis in my heart is getting stronger now.

Higashinohara had to try to rely on contacting criminals with ordinary abilities to trigger the task of [Crime Manual] to obtain the dropped ordinary abilities [decomposition] into source power points through the title skill, so as to improve the swordsmanship of the great swordsman [Wuwo Yidao Style] proficiency.

  Boom boom boom—!

   Higashinohara knocked on the door.

   "Come in."

   Aragaki Satoru's lazy voice came from the door.

   After pushing the door and entering, Higashinohara discovered that the window of Aragaki Satoru's small detective agency had been drawn with the sunshade, and the room was dark.

  Through the faint reflection of the computer screen, one could see Xia Li, that tiger-eared girl staring at the screen seriously and rubbing her chin, as if she was deducing something.

   "Higashinohara-kun, long time no see."

   Suddenly a familiar voice came from the corner.

   Higashinohara turned his head, only to find that behind him was Takuo Morita, who had been investigating the bizarre murder case at the Sakura Crossing last year.

This guy.

   Being pulled by this unlucky master again?

Morita Taku had a good impression of Higashinohara. It was thanks to this young man's keen insight last year that they discovered that some similar faces always appeared at the time of the Sakura Crossing suicide, and then dug out the behind-the-scenes [Funeral Agency] this organization.

  It's just that until today, the "doctor" behind the organization has disappeared again, without a trace, and he doesn't seem to care about the destruction of the [Funeral Agency] that has been in business for many years

Shaking his head, not thinking about these old cases, Morita Takumi clapped his hands with a smile and said, "Since all of you are here, let's come to this case. The name of the deceased is Yongkichi Taro, 47 years old this year, slightly bald, He ran a 24-hour convenience store with a good business in Edogawa Ward, and the time of his death was at ten o'clock on Friday night a week ago, and he was on the way home from the convenience store by train, and this is the photo of his death."

  Taku Morita pressed the remote control in his hand. In the dark room, the scene that emerged from the projector on the wall was a dead body lying in a pool of blood on the ground in a dark corner not far from the tram exit.

  Just looking at this photo, it seems that nothing can be seen. However, when Morita Takumi switched the screen again and gave a close-up close-up of a corpse in a pool of blood, Higashinohara's pupils couldn't help shrinking slightly!

  The corpse's hands, the skin and flesh from the palms down to the wrists and the arms were all stripped of flesh and blood, leaving only a pair of horrific bones and joints.

   Immediately afterwards, Morita Taku switched photos again.

  In these pictures.

  Different incident scenarios,

  Different victims,

  Different facial expressions upon death.

  The same thing is that, without exception, the hands of the victims are nothing but bones, exuding a gloomy and strange aura in the pool of blood.

  At this time, Morita Taku sighed, turned his head and said to Aragaki Satoru:

   "The latest news. This case has been upgraded to a serial murder case. The murderer's motive is unknown. Now, master, are you sure you want to accept this commission?"

   Looking for a monthly pass, huh huh~
