Tochigi Prefecture, Hozaya Elementary School.

The walls of the classroom are covered with calligraphy works handwritten by children. There is only the simple word "Hope". On a piece of work near the middle, Kirishima Taku's name is clearly written.

"Taku's handwriting is very good." Godai and Mr. Kanzaki stopped in front of the wall.

"Well, after reading these words, I feel like I really have hope."

"Ha, teacher, you didn't say that. In my opinion, it really gives people a feeling of hope."

"You're itchy, aren't you... But it's okay, because we still have to fight No. 0."

"It's no problem. The Metropolitan Police Department will complete the device to detect the location of Zero tonight. We will definitely defeat him tomorrow..."

…

Koto-gu, 12:40pm.

Ichijo drove a police car to the Meteorological Agency to collect the information needed for radar detection, and suddenly received an emergency message from Sasayama at the headquarters.

"Officer Ichijo, you are in Koto Ward! There are reports that a figure suspected to be No. B1 was captured on the surveillance camera of an unidentified life form at Tatsumi 5-chome, and is being chased by another unknown life form."

"I know, I'll go over now."

"But wait, don't we need to inform Mr. Higashino or Mr. Godai?"

"No, there is no need yet..."

…

"Whoosh-"

The heavy rain has made it impossible to identify the sky. It seems that no matter morning or afternoon, the city is shrouded in one scene, except day and night.

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon when Ryusuke Higashino left the Kanto Clinic. Although his heart was still full of gloom, he always felt a lot more fulfilled.

The noise of the continuous rainstorm drowned out other sounds in the world, and the streets were deserted.

Amid the rain curtain formed by countless silk threads, a Bitcoin motorcycle passed quickly through.

In front of an intersection, Ryusuke Higashino stopped his motorcycle, looked at the red light in the distance that was obscured by the rain curtain, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Heavy rain always evokes his memory...

On Christmas night, after they defeated the lion Grungji, Daguaba appeared. That was the first time they faced the ultimate Daguaba.

Then, disaster began.

In the following nearly a month, Daguba carried out five killings in succession, and then watched them struggle in a scene as tragic as hell.

Higashino Ryusuke understood that the purpose of Daguaba's actions was to force himself or the fifth generation to use the ultimate power, and killing was just the means he used to achieve this goal.

But it was precisely because he knew this that it made him feel even more painful.

The red light turned into green light in the hazy halo, and when Dongye was about to start, a picture suddenly flashed in his mind - in a dilapidated unfinished building, the rain-covered ground was splashed with water.

For the first time, Rose Girl in a white suit looked embarrassed. She fell into a puddle, covered in mud, and part of her body had transformed into weird features like plant vines. The figure opposite her was a long figure.

The guy with the bushy mane...

Lion Grunge!

The moment he woke up, Higashino Ryusuke's heart was filled with shock. That guy is not dead yet!

Then, he frowned and searched through his memories. There seemed to be nothing unusual about the battle that took place on Christmas night. Goyuan's upper body was blown to pieces by the new fragmentation bomb. Except for killing Leo, he failed to make the first move.

Time to check out Kidru’s belt…

It was because Daguaba appeared too quickly, and the successive battles almost left Higashino Ryusuke unable to think.

After a long time, he could only shake his head helplessly. Now, no matter how much he thinks, he still can't understand how the lion Gurungi survives.

And he finally understood what was the first change brought about after the nerves in the belt spread to the brain - it was a quantum ability similar to precognition.

After another round of red lights, he started the motorcycle, changed direction, and drove quickly to another place.

…

Koto Ward, Tatsumi 5-chome, 1:32pm.

A police car stopped in front of a dilapidated building. He quickly got out of the car and checked his equipment. The Python revolver was equipped with the latest enhanced fragmentation bomb.

(Because the original nerve-breaking bullet was a revolver bullet, the enhanced nerve-breaking bullet is to increase the power on this basis, but it is still used for revolvers. The new nerve-breaking bullet is the most powerful. After all, it needs to be specially equipped with an ultra-high-pressure rifle for use, but it cannot be used as regular equipment.

.)

The rain quickly soaked him all over.

After confirming that the location was correct, Ichijo turned decisively and entered the building...

In a dark and damp corridor.

Rose Girl has lost her previous noble posture, her hair is a little messy, and there are bloodshot eyes hanging from the corners of her mouth.

In front of her, the resurrected lion Grunki blocked the way and showed his fangs towards Rose.

"Thank you very much for telling me the location of the ruins in North America. Just cooperate with me on another matter..." Leo's head revealed Gohara's face, with that disgusting smile.

"Give me your belt!"

"Hmph!" Rose Girl sneered, and suddenly raised her right hand, turning into a thick branch-like tentacle that twisted and twisted, and quickly extended to attack the lion.

However, this attack was vulnerable to the sharp claws of the lion Gurungi, and it was torn into pieces in an instant.

Rose Girl suddenly swayed, her face became paler, and she looked at Leo with cold eyes.

After devouring the general's belt, the lion's strength has truly reached its ultimate level.

After easily dismantling Rose Girl's offensive, Leo wiped his sharp claws on the weathered old wall and walked slowly with a harsh voice, "If you don't cooperate, I will have to get it myself."

"Bang!"

A golden thin line shot suddenly, but the lion Gurungi raised his claws in time to block it.

The white-gold first-born Kuuga appeared behind Rose Girl, holding a sublimated Pegasus crossbow.

Leo was a little surprised and said: "It's you again? It seems that our fate is really not shallow."

Ryusuke Higashino lowered his arm and transformed the Sublimated Pegasus Crossbow into the Sublimated Titan Sword. His red compound eyes seemed to radiate light in the dim environment.

"I don't know how you survived, but," he walked past Rose Girl step by step and pointed the tip of his sword at the lion Grunki.

"I won't let you live anymore!"

"Boom——"

The giant sword and sharp claws collided violently, shooting out dazzling sparks.

"Boom!" The white Konga and the lion Gurungi easily knocked down the wall during the struggle, and disappeared in the vast rain in an instant.

Looking at the hole on the wall, Rose Girl was slightly stunned, and then her expression became a little complicated.

Suddenly, she sensed movement from downstairs, which meant that someone else had broken into the place.

After changing her expression several times, Rose Girl finally turned around and left...

"Tick tock...tick tock..."

Water seeping from the walls dripped onto the ground, gradually collecting into water all over the floor.

Kaoru Ichijo had tried to be careful, but it was impossible to be completely quiet no matter what when moving forward in water that did not cover his feet.

He found a parchment in a room full of debris, filled with special hieroglyphics. Those symbols instantly reminded Ichigo of the weird tattoos on Gurungi's body.

"Ta-ta-ta..."

The sound of chaotic footsteps gradually interrupted Ichijo's thoughts, and he quickly hid in a corner.

Until the footsteps entered the utility room, a gun appeared from behind. What appeared in front of him was the somewhat miserable Rose Girl.

When she turned around and saw Ichijo, Rose Girl couldn't help but have an inexplicable smile on her face.

"Sure enough...it's you."
