I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

"Strange...why hasn't the car arrived yet?"

There are already many people waiting for the bus at the stop sign, and they seem to be used to the bus being delayed.

"Miss, you must rarely take the bus here, right?"

Ellerbella looked at the outsider who was talking to her and nodded: "Well... I have been sitting less recently..."

"The survival rate of buses passing near the isolation area is relatively high, so sometimes drivers drive more cautiously, at a slower speed, or even take detours because they need to avoid accidents. However, this is all to give passengers a chance to survive. Being late is commonplace." This alien guy with a purple zombie face said this.

Talk, then twist his eyes and point to the intersection.

"Look, this is coming."

The bus that arrived in response turned around the intersection and headed towards the stop sign. People sitting on the roadside waiting for the bus also stamped out their cigarette butts or put away their newspapers in preparation for taking the bus.

But the attentive Ellerbella immediately discovered something was wrong as the bus approached. She asked the alien she had just been chatting with: "Hey, there's something wrong on that bus..."

"Something's wrong? Something's wrong? I've been taking this line for a long time. There won't be any problems!"

Ellerbella raised the corner of her mouth, looked at the guy with cloudy eyes in front of her, and said, "...I want to ask more, are you short-sighted?"

"Well, about a thousand degrees."

The windshield of the bus that slowly drove into the stop seemed to be completely blocked by something. There was only a dark red, and the flashing display sign like a short circuit made Ellerbella feel even more uneasy.

"I advise you to take the next bus..." Ellerbella stared at the bus parked in front of her, let go of his hand and quickly backed away.

"What are you talking about? Didn't I tell you that lines like this are safe?"

As he spoke, the closed door of the bus in front of him began to loosen, and then made a sound as if something was holding it back.

Bright red viscous liquid began to be squeezed out from the crack in the door.

"Eh?"

In the blink of an eye, the entire car door was broken open under the load, and the blood-red liquid with a strong fishy smell rushed out of the car like a bursting dam, drowning the nearest unlucky ones waiting for the bus.

"What is that!?"

"What are you doing standing there? Run!" People around shouted and fled.

is blood.

Blood that filled the entire space in the two buses burst out from the broken door.

Then, as if to confirm this tragic situation, the display screen above the windshield flashed a few times and then turned on again.

The red font stained with splattered blood made Elbella stagger back.

"Survival rate...0%?!"

Although I felt something was wrong at the first moment and stayed away from the bus, this time the blood-red tide with obvious "bleeding volume" came fiercely and flooded the surrounding area in the blink of an eye.

The cause of this situation is not yet clear, but it is most likely a curse or a thaumaturgy performed by some crazy guy. It is best not to get a drop of this blood on it.

But Ellerbella was just an ordinary person. She was pushed by the fleeing aliens and fell to the ground.

It's over now...

"Miss Ellebella!"

Suddenly someone called his name.

"Leo?!"

Then an irresistible force lifted him up from the ground.

"Are you a bit unlucky today?" Cheng Rang jumped to Ellerbella's side and rescued her to avoid being trampled to pieces by the fleeing crowd.

"Cheng?! When did you come back?"

"Don't talk about this, just hurry up!"

"Eh? - Oooh!"

The huge feeling of weightlessness accompanied by the fierce wind made Ellerbella couldn't help but scream, and hugged Cheng Rang tightly with her backhand.

"Where are you going?"

“Heward Street—slow down ahhhh!”

Leo looked up at the two people who had turned into black dots and disappeared between the buildings. He pursed his lips and complained: "So if you can go like this, why do you have to take my car..."

Chapter 10 Naktowa’s Smile

This city is called Hershalemz Lot, which was once New York.

It collapsed overnight and was rebuilt again. Nowadays, this city has become a concession in another dimension.

As well as the boundary point where the real world and the other world meet, it has become the most dangerous and tense zone on the earth.

This city shrouded in fog is filled with all kinds of strange creatures, mysterious phenomena, magical science, and extraordinary strategies.

If you are not careful, this world will be eroded and fall into irreversible chaos.

In such a city, a mysterious organization whose mission is to maintain the balance of the world is secretly active - the secret society Lebra.

.......

A bright yellow and black blockade blocked the entire street. HLPD police vehicles surrounded the place, and the dazzling red and blue lights rotated and flashed.

Stephen skillfully climbed over the cordon, waved to the police station with a unique hairstyle not far away, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

"Hey! You guy, who let you in!" Danielle pointed at the guy who broke into the blocked area as if nothing was wrong and yelled with an evil look on his face.

Lebra's second-in-command...Tsk! The news is still so well-informed

Danielle, who complained secretly in his heart, knew that he couldn't do anything to this guy, so he could only say with a face: "Don't you even sleep?"

"Hahaha, aren't you the same with the police department?"

"Don't be too close. I'm sorry - there's nothing for you to see here." Danielle turned his back to Stephen and left, waving to him.

...

"I heard that [Naktowa's Smile] has arrived?"

Following Stephen's words

, Danielle’s footsteps stopped as if they were nailed to the ground.

"Did I hit the mark...?"

Stephen, who was smiling, was turned around by Danielle and pulled up his collar.

"...Do you want to get involved? You bastard. Please tell me the source of the information. If it gets out, things will be big!"

Does he know what he is talking about?

Stephen slowly raised his hand to signal the young police officer in front of him to stop being excited, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, our members are in control."

"——First-hand information from the scene."

"..."

Danielle, who was tugging at his collar, had a tangled expression on his face, as if he was thinking about something. He was silent for a long time, and finally threw away Stephen's collar, pointed at him and said: "...I will allow you to help serve as a guard. Go ahead. Call me your boss."

"Eh~~? Why bother?"

"Stop talking! Let me talk to Klaus V. Reinhertz directly. Otherwise I can arrest you right now."

Stephen smacked his lips in disgust, "Tsk, I really don't trust people."

"Don't take it personally, I basically don't trust anyone."

After waving to Stephen, Danielle took a cigarette, put it to his lips, lit it, and walked away.

Hours later - HLPD conference room.

"Naktowa's smile. As we all know, it is one of the [Super Important World Collapse Helping Devices] recorded in the Book of the End."

"World-shattering prop?"

"one of them?"

The questions coming from the audience made Daniel, who had finished explaining, twitch his facial muscles fiercely and pointed at Leo and Zabu, who were sitting beside them with confused faces.

"Hey! Someone drag these two ignorant amateurs out of here!"

"The Book of Endings is the oldest divine ancient document that records all methods that can destroy this world. It was transmitted from the deepest part of the other world two and a half years ago." Jett lowered his voice and spoke for The two guys next to me who had no idea about the situation explained.

"Based on the paper, it should be from 10,000 BC. This Naktowa smile is one of the 42 sinister props recorded in it."

"It is said that just like the literal meaning, each piece has the function of causing the destruction of the world."

Leo whispered with a cold sweat on his face: "It takes only two years to decipher so much of such an ancient book. It's really amazing."

"That's because when the book was delivered, it was very thoughtfully accompanied by annotations." Jeter said, "Some people think it is an English, Spanish and Chinese translation produced in the same era."

"Huh? But what kind of words..."

Leo suddenly came back to his senses and said with a surprised expression: "At that time, human civilization didn't even exist...right?"

Cheng Rang yawned and put his legs on the back of Leo's chair in front of him: "So you don't have to worry about those things. You just need to tell us the content of the mission."

"I don't have much time, and I'm rushing back to be intimate with my wife."

Danielle looked at the man who would suddenly disappear without knowing when, but then suddenly reappear like a legend, and he felt the corners of his eyes begin to beat wildly involuntarily.

"Okay." He sighed, "The target is under the management of the US government, and it is extremely confidential. It will be sent outside HL soon."

"destination?"

"Across the New Hudson. There's no need to know what happens next, if you want to survive."

Zabu, who had been listening, raised his hand: "Hey! I have a question."

"Say it, little bastard."

"What did you say!? A mere civil servant!!" Zabu, who suddenly got angry, was controlled by Jet and Leo together. He could only kick his feet in the air angrily and gritted his teeth: "What should we do with the old men with double barriers? ?”

"Oh, speaking of that, I guess I passed without inspection."

"Haha, so confident? - Where is the evidence?"

Daniel's expression became serious and he said in a deep voice: "Based on the information we have obtained, it can be confirmed that the [World Collapse Aid Device] has been leaked twice. Judging from their normal working status, this is simply impossible. number."

"Not only that, don't you think that from the past, the more big objects that are likely to destroy the world, the more likely they will be [leaked out]?"

"There is a theory that they may have let him go on purpose under the orders of [a higher-level existence]."

"Gods...if you want to call them gods, they will always feel "boring". Occasionally, you and I have the idea of ​​​​throwing a big stone on the calm water where small fish gather, right? Just Same as that.”

It's just that now, the "water surface" is the earth, and the "stones" are the tools that flow out to help the world collapse.

Danielle said, holding another cigarette in his mouth, but the hand that pressed the lighter stopped in mid-air: "It's really uncomfortable to think that all the troubles we have experienced are just pranks for fun. To the extreme.”

"Speaking of which, do you think this information has been leaked?" Stephen asked.

"Part of it. If any of you leak the news just to make pocket money, that's a different story."

Stephen smiled bitterly and waved his hands to the unhappy members present, then looked at Danielle

Er said: "Hey, this kind of joke can't be made casually."

"Hahaha, forget it." Danielle waved his hand, with a ferocious smile on his lips, and said with cold eyes: "If we can grasp this information at this point in time, then there are really only a handful of people in the entire HL. If someone comes to attack, it must be related to that level of intelligence dealers, bastards who are notorious and extremely difficult to deal with."

"Fortunately, we will set off in ten minutes. Even if the bad guys get the information, they won't have time to prepare. We must work together to seize the opportunity!"

Cheng Rang, who was leaning on the chair, seemed to be tired of hearing such words. He plucked his ears with a nonchalant expression and then yawned.

——Ah, I was thinking about a lot of things last night, and I couldn’t sleep well in the end.

.......I really want to eat junk food.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and the door of the conference room was knocked open, attracting the attention of everyone present.

"Police department!"

The visitor held a white envelope in his hand, with a red wax seal and a seal on it.

The moment Daniel got it, the expression on his face suddenly sank.
