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

I can't figure out her sword skills at all... If I try it again——

Kohina once again stirred up dust and disappeared from Rentaro's sight. Even though I watched intently, I couldn't catch up with her erratic movements. When Rentaro closed his eyes tightly as he wanted to be fucked.

clang!

The two objects made a harsh sound of gold and iron, colliding fiercely in the air.

"Am I late?"

Procedure? !

Next to Rentaro stood a black-haired man holding a long sword. He smiled easily and easily blocked Hina's attack with the scabbard.

The young man stared at Cheng Rang's face with disbelief.

Let’s not talk about why he appeared at this time.

Here - his ranking is over 230,000, right?

Such a level of slashing with one hand...

Kohina, who turned over lightly from mid-air and landed on the ground, saw the man in front of him clearly, and whined in his throat. He seemed to be very afraid of Cheng Rang. His hands were trembling and he couldn't even hold the weapon firmly. He staggered and fell against Hiroko Yingyin's body. On the body.

"Dad...I'm so scared..."

So scared?

Rentaro was surprised that Hina suddenly lost his fighting spirit, and the question he had been holding back finally turned into a simple question.

"who the hell are you?"

"Tiantong Civil Security Company trainee police officer, IP ranking**

**——”

"Stop lying, who will believe it?"

"Oh, have you been discovered?"

"Think I'm stupid!"

The enemy was still close at hand, and Rentaro could only hold the pistol vigilantly again and point it at Hiroko Yin.

Cheng Rang watched Rentaro's movements with some amusement and asked, "Do you think something like a pistol is useful to him?"

like water off a duck's back.

Rentaro knew the answer to this question in his heart, but other than that, he had no other weapons to fight back.

Not to mention Hiroko Kageyin's repulsive field, Rentaro firmly believed that even if he fired from this distance, Kohina, who was holding a pair of swords, could cut the bullet in mid-air.

"Don't be nervous." Cheng Rang pressed the pistol that Rentaro raised, "With all due respect, if they want to kill you, they have countless opportunities. You two just want to come over and have a chat today, don't you?"

Rentaro bit his lower lip tightly and put away the pistol.

"Asshole, hurry up and finish this. Not only am I sleepy as hell but I also have to study hard for next week's quiz."

Cheng Rang only slightly twitched the corners of his mouth in response to this insistence on saving face.

Zhizi Yingyin laughed dryly inside the mask, then put the pistol into the holster, and opened his arms calmly under the moonlight.

"Let's get straight to the point. You happen to be here too. Excuse me for being rude, but I haven't asked for your name yet?"

"Cheng Rang."

"Satomi, Mr. Cheng, do you want to be my partner?"

"What did you say?!"

“Good duck~”

"???"

Rentaro's expression was as exciting as if he had seen a ghost, and he looked at the guy next to him with a smile and said what he just said in confusion.

"Do you know who he is?"

"It doesn't matter who he is, multiple teammates are more effective, and he doesn't look weak at all. Isn't that good?"

Cheng Rang shrugged his shoulders and spoke in a matter-of-fact tone.

"He is the guy who wants to destroy this world, he is the enemy!"

"You're so naive Rentaro... Even if he doesn't destroy the world, the world will be destroyed sooner or later. What's more, if such a world is truly hopeless——"

"Then why does it matter if it's destroyed?"

That was a man who could say words without trembling that made Rentaro's whole body tremble. He even felt that Cheng Rang in front of him suddenly became unfamiliar.

Happy laughter came from Zhizi Yingyin's mask, and he covered his face and looked up to the sky, laughing.

"Braaaaavo!"

Cold sweat broke out on Rentaro's forehead, and he subconsciously took a step back away from Cheng Rang.

"You know...what are you talking about? Cheng..."

"I know very well."

"We are the police!"

"So what?" Zhizi Yingyin suddenly interjected: "I used to be a policeman. It's a pity that a huge and devastating storm will sweep through the Tokyo area. Now I have strong backup. As long as you become my partner , woman, power, I can give you whatever you want, Satomi~"

"...."

"Satomi-san, don't you ever hope to change this unreasonable world? The current situation in Tokyo is wrong. Have you never thought about this kind of thing?"

Seeing that Rentaro was still hesitating, Yingyin took out a white cloth from his pocket and spread it on the ground, counted three times, and then took it away. A briefcase appeared there.

"It is said that your life is not very prosperous financially, right?"

Yingyin opened the briefcase, which was filled with bundles of banknotes.

"This is my little wish for you."

Rentaro stared at the money without blinking.

At this time, Cheng Rang suddenly stepped forward, bent down and picked up the box.

"How much is this?"

Zhizi Yingyin paused, not dissatisfied at all because Cheng Rang interrupted his speech.

"Thirty million yen."

Cheng Rang smacked his lips, closed the briefcase and tucked it under his arm as if he was still not satisfied.

"I won't be tired if we talk about this. Boss Cheng...actually the appearance fee is very high."

Zhizi Yingyin tilted his head, as if he didn't understand Cheng Rang's words.

I saw him grabbing the long knife at his waist and tapping the ground with the scabbard:

"Change another one, otherwise we won't be able to negotiate this business."

"???"

Chapter 60 The price of a hero

The second briefcase full of banknotes was transformed by Zhizi Yingyin. Just as Cheng Rang reached out to pick it up, Rentaro kicked him back and shot the bag three times.

The briefcase bounced, and holes were cut into the bundles of banknotes, some of which were fluttering in the wind.

Cheng Rang looked at it for a while and was

The punched-through briefcase let out a sigh of regret.

"It's not easy to come to a civilized society where money can solve various problems. However, no amount of this kind of thing is enough. Why bother with money, Rentaro?"

"I despise people who can be bought with money! You are dismissed, intern!"

"Oh my, senior Rentaro, you are really an upright and good man." Cheng Rang couldn't help but laugh when he saw the indignant look on Rentaro's face.

"Do you want to be on the side of 'justice'?" Cheng Rang asked.

"At least I know very well that a guy who wants to destroy the world can never be called justice!"

"It seems that you really regard yourself as a partner of justice, Rentaro. But unfortunately, I can only tell you that justice is selfless and needs to be implemented. Personal feelings and grievances cannot be considered. If you want To become a hero who implements justice, the price will definitely be beyond your expectation and it will make you feel painful."

"Let me ask you, what kind of justice do you want to implement...hypocritical justice? Delayed justice? Or justice that allows you to sleep with peace of mind?"

"You speak so beautifully at a time like this. Why did you wave that child's hand away when she needed your help and reached out to you to beg?"

"that is because....."

“Are you afraid of involving Yanzhu?”

Rentaro felt like something was stuck in his throat, his mind went blank and he couldn't think of any reason to refute.

Because there's nothing wrong with what he said.

At that time, the child needed my help... and I could help her, but I was afraid that this would involve Yanzhu, and prayed for someone to stand in front of me and take the lead on my behalf.

"Do you know where we were taken by the police afterwards?"

"Isn't it... the police station?"

"——Peripheral area."

Cheng Rang's tone was calm, as if he was describing a trivial matter.

"Because the company is not well-known, with an IP ranking of more than 200,000, it was treated as someone who could be ravaged and vented its dissatisfaction, and was taken to a deserted and deserted building in the peripheral area."

Rentaro listened to what Cheng Rang told him, and his pupils shrank with trembling.

"The police officers raised their guns at me and the kid and said, 'A rookie policeman ranked over 230,000, encountered a gastrea in the peripheral area in order to recover his escaped starter, and both of them died. This is the outcome. What do you think?’ Something like that.”

"What.....?"

"Her hands were frighteningly cold, and her whole body was trembling with fear, but I was the only one beside her at that time. Can you understand her despair at that time? While dragging her hungry and exhausted body to fight the gastrea animals, she was also overwhelmed by herself. The despair of hurting the people you protect?”

"But you...you and the child came back safe and sound, it must be——"

"Of course I killed those two policemen because they had chosen to shoot at us."

The bullet was ejected from the scabbard in mid-air and the blade cut accurately. Then the snow-white sword energy flew out, instantly cutting the two policemen who shot at him into two pieces without any hesitation or sloppiness.

Beautiful bright red blood flowers spurted out from the smooth cross-section of the human body like a fountain. The burning patrol car gradually turned into a charred black wreckage with the same style as the surroundings. There was only a figure slowly leaving with its back turned. He carefully held the fainted girl in his arms.

Rentaro's eyes suddenly opened wide: "...Eh?"

The piercing siren sounded from outside the alley, and the patrol car attracted by Rentaro's shooting had already arrived nearby.

"Don't hesitate when you want to be a hero, but the price of becoming a hero will definitely be beyond your expectation... You will suddenly find out at a certain point when you can't turn back that no matter how hard you try, the world will still fail again and again. Betray you again and again."

"If you just want to protect the people you care about, don't go into this muddy water, Rentaro."

"——This is my last advice to you."

Cheng Rang's figure blurred in front of his eyes for a moment and then suddenly disappeared. Rentaro subconsciously raised his arm to block the high-speed airflow blowing in his face, and took half a step back.

Hiroko Yingyin on the side bowed to Rentaro and said in a deep voice: "Today's harvest is good, so let's stop here, Satomi-san. Although this method is not my interest, but you can go to school tomorrow to have a look Well, it’s time for you to recognize the reality.”

Then he leapt backwards and disappeared into the darkness.

The words that the two of them explained to themselves before leaving left a heavy and indelible mark on Rentaro's heart.

——————————————

The next day, I received a call from Sister Kisara early the next morning, saying that there were Cheng Rang and Letitia's police combination licenses and the keys to the office on their desks, but they were nowhere to be seen.

"The office is in perfect order. The child last night was also missing and the phone couldn't be reached. Do you know what's going on, Rentaro?"

Rentaro was silent for a while, and then explained to Kisara everything about his encounter with Hiroko Yin at night.

"Sister Kisara, are the things we always want to insist on right or wrong...?"

...

study

In the school classroom, Rentaro was lying on the table with empty eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
