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

"It's not far from here."

Cheng Rang looked him over and said: "I didn't say that, you are already running around for food, your gun -"

Rentaro's gun had been cut into irreparable pieces by Cheng Rang that day and scattered all over the floor. You must know that steel bullets and firearms are a huge expense for the police.

"Don't worry about this." Rentaro lifted the hem of his clothes and put a pistol on his waist. "I'm still glad that you didn't cut all the bullets into jelly blocks."

"Where did you get the money?!"

"The Tendo Civilian Police Company's weapons are provided for free - you just need to advertise them."

Cheng Rang raised his eyebrows: "Is there such a good thing?"

"Don't be stunned, this is an urgent mission, let's go!"

When Yanzhu saw the two people arriving, his eyes immediately lit up: "Rentaro, is there any work?"

"Yes, this time I am taking a newbie as a trainee, so I have to perform well!"

"Of course~!"

————————————————————

After the four people arrived at the mission location, Cheng Rang suddenly realized that the apartment building in front of him looked particularly familiar.

"This...this isn't-"

Miss Shinoda's apartment? !

"Huh? Cheng, do you know this place?" Rentaro looked at Cheng Rang in surprise.

“Where are the gastrulation people?!”

"According to the announcement, it's in Room 604 on the sixth floor."

After learning the location, Cheng Rang immediately passed Rentaro, rushed to the apartment building, and waved to Lina on the side: "Lina!"

Lina immediately followed Cheng Rang understandingly, jumped into his arms, and hugged Cheng Rang's neck tightly.

Then, under the surprised gazes of Rentaro and Yanzhu, Cheng Rang hugged Lina and jumped up, neatly climbed up the balcony corridor of the sixth floor and disappeared.

in sight.

"Yanzhu, let's go up quickly!"

After realizing it later, Rentaro and Enju rushed into the apartment door. Facing the elevator with the words "under maintenance", they couldn't help but slap their foreheads: "This is the time!"

....Um?

Thinking of Cheng Rang's choice without hesitation just now, Rentaro couldn't help but wonder.

How did he know that the elevator here happened to be broken today?

.....

Climbing up to the sixth floor one step ahead, Lina jumped out of Cheng Rang's arms. Her eyes turned from black to dark red, she shrugged the tip of her nose and said immediately: "Although there is no smell of gastrea, she is almost dying."

"Almost dying?"

Cheng Rang stretched out his hand to hold the long white knife that appeared out of thin air, and gave the security door of Room 604 in front of him a hard kick.

boom!

"We received an emergency request. We are the police from the Tendo Civilian Security Company! What happened here-"

The sight in front of him made Cheng Rang's breathing stagnant for a moment, and there was no need to ask any further questions.

That was someone I had met before, a neighbor of Miss Shinoda’s house, an old woman. Miss Shinoda seemed to have complained to me about something she had misunderstood before. As for what the misunderstanding was, Shinoda was not willing to reconcile with her. Say it yourself.

But the source of danger at this time was not the neighbor's mother-in-law, but the girl she held tightly in her arms.

According to her, she is a granddaughter who needs to be taken care of by herself due to her frail health and the death of her parents.

The girl's scarlet eyes could not be concealed at all, because most of her body had begun to slowly transform into gastral animals, squirming uglyly like purple alien tumors that had come to life on her body.

"Mother-in-law Hongo... Now, please slowly let go... She will no longer be your granddaughter. The situation is very dangerous."

"I know..." My mother-in-law looked at the girl in her arms, her tone full of helplessness: "I have already met a long time ago, and there will eventually be such a day..."

"There will be such a day eventually - I just never thought that she would be one step ahead of me."

Hongo's mother-in-law seemed to be unable to bear it any longer. Tears streamed down her wrinkled cheeks. She murmured heartbrokenly and kept stroking the hair of her "granddaughter" in her arms.

"The future...my child..."

Rapid footsteps came from the corridor behind him. Rentaro and Enju had already climbed up the stairs.

"Procedure!"

The two people who were about to break in were stopped by Cheng Rang, who pressed down the gun raised in Rentaro's hand.

"Leave it to me, Rentaro!"

"Can...."

"She's a neighbor I know."

Rentaro looked at the two people hugging each other in the room, his pupils narrowed slightly, and he subconsciously took half a step back.

"Get out, close the door, and give me two minutes."

...

In Cheng Rang's tone of not refusing, Rentaro and Yanzhu exited the room with complicated expressions, and re-closed the kicked-in security door with a creaking sound.

"It's an urgent commission to deal with gastrulation [human beings]. The police will arrive in fifteen minutes..." Rentaro told Cheng Rang before leaving: "They must see the body."

The room became quiet again, except for the sound of the gastrulation parts of the girl she called "Mirai" in the arms of Mother-in-law Hongo.

"how so?"

Faced with Cheng Rang's questions, Hong Kong's mother-in-law kept choking and hugged the girl in her arms tighter.

"She is already eleven years old...eleven years old...she has just turned eleven...!"

Yes, eleven.

Mirai Hongo——is a cursed child.

He is not registered in IISO, has no birth certificate, his parents died in the Gastrea War, and he was raised by the only grandmother left in the family, the native mother-in-law.

He has never stepped out of this room, and even though he can hide the "red eyes" of being a child of the curse, he has never been injected with a dose of gastrovirus inhibitor.

There was no erosion rate test, no battle, and no ability used. Even Shinoda, a neighbor, knew nothing about it. Mother-in-law Hongo protected her in this place with her almost stubborn love. In this small apartment room.

This - is destined to have a broken home.

Even Shinoda, a doctor, had never learned about this child who had concealed his condition for eleven years.

There will be such a day eventually - I just never thought that she would be one step ahead of me.

"The erosion rate of gastroenterovirus exceeds 50%..."

The girl turned her head with difficulty and looked at Lina, who also had red eyes next to Cheng Rang.

Then his eyes moved to Cheng Rang's face.

She seemed to use her last bit of strength to speak:

"In the future, I love my grandma... I don't want to become a monster... I don't want to hurt anyone in the future..."

Although she couldn't step out of this room, couldn't physically feel the free wind and bright sunshine of this world, she still received a love that rivaled the entire world——

Lina's red eyes faded away, she hugged Cheng Rang hard and buried her head in his clothes.

In front of her, Mirai Hongo was using her last will to fight desperately against the virus that had eroded her body.

She trembles

With a trembling voice, he begged Cheng Rang:

"please...."

".....kill me."

Mother-in-law Hongo pressed her forehead firmly against Mirai’s head:

I no longer want to live alone in this dark world, so——

"Please kill us."

Chapter 31 The Hell of Resentment

The old man in his twilight years, in this world where there is no hope, can only be accompanied by his granddaughter who has devoted all his love to him.

But now, even these small happiness must be taken away.

She didn't hurt anyone, and she didn't want to hurt anyone because she turned into a monster after this, but it was this behavior that deeply hurt the old man she loved and who loved her.

future....

It was obviously a name full of hope, but at this moment, the gastroenterovirus ruthlessly tore apart the last vestige of human will, and was irresistibly eroded by the abyss.

She is the only light for the old man still living in this world!

"This is my commission..."

- Please kill us.

A bright golden light flickered from Cheng Rang's hand. It was a treasure that could cure all pain and curses, a light emanating from an independent utopia.

"This commission...please forgive me for rejecting it!"

"You will be saved, you will continue to live, even if you can never see the sky again, as long as you live -"

As long as you live, you will definitely see the light!

"Avalon!"

The golden blue patterned scabbard rippled on Cheng Rang's chest, and a huge breath of divine life surged in the room.

In this way, the future will definitely be cured and she can return to human form...

With this prayer in mind, the golden scabbard slowly sank into Future's body.

must--

...

........

...........

Then, the squirming biological tissue of the original intestine on the girl's body stopped for a moment.

But the next moment, as if the fast forward button was pressed, the surging tissue instantly swallowed up Future's body, like a surging beast.

Cheng Rang's eyes were splitting after witnessing all this, but he was so shocked that he didn't even have time to react -

"Varied...."

boom! ! !

The violent billowing smoke and the entire apartment building, which was shattered by the huge monster's body, were razed to the ground in an instant. The sudden explosion caught Rentaro and Yanzhu outside the door and were thrown away.

"Uh-huh!"

"Rentaro!"

Yanzhu's eyes that had just put away the red light flickered again. She quickly stepped on the broken wall and hugged Rentaro who was blown up in mid-air. Then the two of them were blown away by the terrible shock wave and fell hard to the ground.

"Yiiiioaaa——"

As if coming from the abyss, the cry of an unspeakable monster is sharp and piercing, making people's brains tremble and resonate with it. Amid the billowing smoke and fire, an unknown creature that is twice as tall as a six-story apartment building can be heard. The gastral monster is looking up to the sky and howling.

Its densely covered carapace is increasing in value at an incredible speed, and golden light is bursting out from the crater-like cracks on its chest, and it is beating violently like a heart, making a thumping vibration sound.

"What happened... happened? Yeonju!"

Rentaro endured the pain and quickly climbed up from the ground. Enju also crawled over in tattered clothes. His body was obviously covered with dense scratches, and blood was constantly flowing from the wounds.

"Rentaro...that, that's..."

Rentaro, who helped Enzu up, found that the top of his head was covered by something, and a huge shadow that almost covered the sky gradually enveloped him.
