Blue Sky Club President Nagashima Mamoru frowned and looked at Hongyinya who was bandaged but still alive and kicking with everyone.
He obviously looked half-dead before being sent to the hospital.
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"It's okay, it's just a minor injury. I, Hongyinya-sama, will not be knocked down so easily, because I am immortal, haha!"
Hongyin also laughed wildly a few times, but out of the corner of her eye she couldn't help but glance at Xia Chuan, who was drinking coffee alone.
It hurts so much.
The first time he transformed into Ixa was so terrifying. It felt like he was being shocked by a hundred thousand volts of electricity. The pain was so painful that he could hardly breathe.
How on earth does this guy Kaminaga keep his face straight?
Is it because of facial paralysis?
"How could it be okay?" Yuri Aso grabbed Koineya's arm.
She watched Hongyin being taken to the ambulance, and it was said that she almost convulsed and breathed away.
"hiss!"
Hongyin also took a breath of air, feeling as if the skin on her arms had been torn off, but she still forced a smile on her face.
"Wait a minute, I went to the toilet, and sure enough I'm still allergic to coffee..."
"I don't welcome you here to begin with!" the boss said angrily, wanting to drive Hongyin out of the coffee shop.
"Ignore him for now."
Cilang always leaned against the window with a gloomy face, his mind filled with hatred for ROOK.
"The most important thing now is to find ROOK, whether it's to avenge Yuri or to prevent that guy from continuing to commit crimes."
"That's right," Shimago said with a frown, "Just now, a new victim appeared. Yuri, please return Ixa to Kaminaga quickly..."
Yuri Aso had basically determined the physical condition of Bene, and upon hearing this, he looked at Shimamomo accusingly.
"Does Mr. Shimamomo really think that ixa has little side effects? This matter has nothing to do with Mr. Kaminaga. I will defeat ROOK!"
Saying this, without waiting for Shimamomo's response, Aso Yuri pursed her lips and ran out of the coffee shop with her head buried in her mouth.
"I will definitely kill him this time!"
"Yori!"
Shimago looked helpless.
"She is really just like her mother, Cilang, can you go and have a look? I'm sorry to bother you."
"Of course it's no problem, I won't let anything happen to Yuri."
Cilang gave Xia Chuan a vague look and left the coffee shop.
He has given up on the idea of cooperation and decided to get the Ixa to transform himself.
"call!"
The store fell into silence for a while, and even the music stopped playing.
Xia Chuan drank the last sip of coffee.
They say that coffee can be refreshing, but it has no effect on him at all. On the contrary, the tiredness he felt before reappeared.
There is a feeling that I have to leave this copy of time and space at any time.
"I'll go take a look too." Xia Chuan stood up and said.
"Kannaga," Shimago said seriously, "Yori is right, it's best for you not to continue using Ixa in the short term and let Cilang do it."
Xia Chuan did not respond.
Cilang looks rough on the surface, but is very cunning in his mind. He not only concealed his identity, but also pretended to avenge Aso Yuri, and seemed to show weakness to him at every turn.
How did such a character become "tamed" by Hongyin later?
"Boom!"
Thunder rumbled over the night streets, the cumulonimbus clouds became thicker and thicker, and half of the people on the road were already gone.
ROOK, who was extremely bored, became more and more irritable and stared at the surrounding shops fiercely.
"It's so boring. Is there anything interesting?"
"ROOK!"
Aso Yuri appeared across the road, gritted her teeth and took out the Ixa fist gun, but facing ROOK's familiar figure in leather clothes, this time she seemed to have lost the courage to step forward.
My legs and feet were weak, I could only watch with trembling voice as ROOK broke into the izakaya and committed murder.
"I……"
"Bang!"
Before Aso Yuri could think too much, ROOK's strong body suddenly flew backwards from the heavy blow, and he took several steps back before stopping.
"Who is it?!"
ROOK was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became furious and roared viciously into the store.
"Who is it?!"
"Aren't you bored?"
Natsukawa took off his suit jacket, unbuttoned the collar and walked out of the izakaya.
"I'm here to play with you."
"You guy..."
ROOK clutched his painful chest, his eyes slightly focused.
"Vampire? Or other demons? Don't you know that I am the ROOK of the Fourth Cadre?!"
"Of course I know."
Xia Chuan rubbed his wrist joints, turned sideways to avoid ROOK's angry attack, raised his left leg instantly, and hit ROOK's waist and abdomen hard with the top of his knee.
"But I am a human, not a demon."
"asshole!"
ROOK's expression changed before his counterattack started. He covered his stomach and threw himself into the air again, then raised his hands with a ferocious expression.
"Go to hell!"
After a short period of energy accumulation, an impact light bomb was condensed, grazing the side of Natsukawa and smashing the izakaya sign to pieces.
"Bang!"
"Is it Kaminaga?!"
Aso Yuri was surprised and came to his senses, and when he saw this, he hurriedly shouted in surprise.
"careful!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Xia Chuan avoided the light bullets one after another, clenched his fists and collided head-on with ROOK.
It has to be said that even in human form, ROOK's body is not weak at all. Even with his brute strength, he can actually shoot energy bombs.
"hehe!"
After a close fight with fists and legs, ROOK and Xia Chuan rolled and landed in the middle of the road at the same time, feeling faint pain in each other's hands and feet.
As if he felt that he would not have any upper hand, ROOK's neck showed the color of glass, and he changed his body shape with a sinister smile.
"Kaminaga!"
Yuri Aso finally took a step forward, and while ROOK transformed, he threw the ixa fist gun in a hurry.
"then!"
"Um?"
ROOK looked back at Yuri Aso and watched with confusion as the ixa fist blunderbuss drew a parabola and was picked up by Natsukawa.
This thing was pointed at him as a weapon by the human woman across from him. It looked like a hand-held firearm that could shoot out electromagnetic shock waves. It was later used by a human to transform, but it didn't seem to pose much of a threat.
Wait, transformation?
"Boom!"
There was another loud thunder in the night sky, and the light of lightning was reflected. The heavy rain finally poured down, and the street was instantly enveloped in layers of rain.
"Ready!"
"Fi-s-t-O-n!"
ROOK's body trembled slightly amid the electronic sound effects of rain, and he looked directly at Xia Chuan, who was wearing a fist gun and buckled on the white Ixa armor.
The hazy rain not only did not affect Ixa's dress, but made it look even more sacred under the lightning, as if it were a divine paladin who was about to judge sin.
"Ha! So what if I transform?!"
ROOK growled, moved his shoulders, spread out his sharp claws on his arms, and fired like a machine gun again.
One claw stab after another burst through, trying to attack Xia Chuan like he did Hong Yin.
"Bang bang bang!"
Xia Chuan's gaze slowed down, and he instantly raised his arm armor to block all the claws.
It was not allowed to attack the key nodes of ixa.
"ixa!"
After inserting the whistle in the falling rain, Natsukawa pulled out the fully charged Ixa fist gun with a click.
The brief fight just now made him understand that other attacks would not have much effect on ROOK, and it was better to directly use the special attack, which could cause serious damage even if he could not be killed, so it would be much easier to fight again.
"Zizzi!"
Xia Chuan stepped through the heavy rain, the fist gun in his hand crackling with electricity.
There are two ways to attack the fist gun. One is to emit energy bullets, but they are easier to dodge. The other is to directly attack the target's body and concentrate all the energy on one point.
This version of the Ixa system has insufficient attack capabilities and a single attack method, making it unsuitable for energy bomb attacks.
"asshole!"
ROOK's attack failed. After lowering his body slightly, he roared through the rain curtain and attacked actively.
He was also fighting against Ixa, and he didn't believe he couldn't beat him this time.
"Bang--!"
There was an electric explosion in the heavy rain on the road.
Continuous raindrops exploded.
Yuri Aso also had to avoid looking in the dazzling light. When he looked back again, only Natsukawa Ixa was left in the rain, and the lion-tooth vampire ROOK was nowhere to be found.
"Kill, kill?" Yuri Aso stared back at Xia Chuan.
This is ixa...
"not yet."
Xia Chuan quietly looked into the depths of the heavy rain, released the transformation, and the Ixa armor automatically converged into a half cross, and disappeared together with the belt.
"But he shouldn't be able to run far. The trauma just now won't be easy even if it's ROOK."
"Feel sorry."
Yuri Aso hesitated to speak, biting his lip with a complicated expression, not sure if it was rain or tears on his face.
"I just..."
"Can understand."
Natsukawa shook his head and went to a roadside izakaya to take shelter from the rain with Yuri Aso.
The commotion just now caused all the customers to run away. The store was completely empty, and even the boss didn't know where he had gone.
Looking at Aso Yuri who was curled up and hugging his arms, Natsukawa casually handed over the coat hanging by the counter.
"Fear is normal. You don't have to force yourself. Only by admitting your weakness can you become strong."
"Tingyin said," Yuri Aso didn't put on his coat, wiped the corners of his eyes and asked Xia Chuan, "You knew from the beginning that I couldn't change? You did it so that I could see clearly..."
"I just don't want you to bother me all the time."
Xia Chuan still couldn't find the boss, so he could only take out a few coins to pay the bill.
"Mr. Kaminaga."
"Go back, don't catch a cold..."
Natsukawa put away his wallet and was about to find an umbrella and leave, but when he turned around, Aso Yuri suddenly threw him into his arms.
"Can you... let me hold you for a while?"
Aso Yuri's voice was choked, and his body trembled as he leaned against Natsukawa.
For a moment, Natsukawa could neither walk nor stop, his face was tense, and inexplicably, the image of Asami Hiroko gritting her teeth, staring, and getting angry flashed through her mind.
hiss!
"Sorry, I seem to be a little willful because of Ixa."
Yuri Aso couldn't control her emotions and shed tears, and hugged Natsukawa tightly with her arms.
"The president is right, Mr. Kaminaga is indeed the best candidate to wear Ixa..."
"Wow!"
Xia Chuan opened his mouth, and suddenly a shimmer appeared on his body. An even stronger feeling of exhaustion surged into his heart again, and Hiroko Asami's continuous shouts rang repeatedly in his ears.
"Kaminaga!"
illusion?
Xia Chuan regained consciousness from fatigue and raised his hand only to find that he was constantly fading, as if he was about to disappear from this world.
"Mr. Kaminaga?"
Yuri Aso also noticed the situation and hurriedly released his hands, trembling as he watched Natsukawa's body become transparent.
"How, how could this happen?! Mr. Kaminaga——!"
"Bang!"
Ixa's fist gun fell to the ground and rolled to Aso Yuri's feet.
…
"Kamiyaga?"
In this world, Asami Hiroko’s shouts started again outside the door.
Xia Chuan woke up suddenly and sat up. He looked around the bedroom furnishings and then lowered his head to check the shuttle machine on his waist.
He actually came back halfway.
However, the connection with the copy of "Kiva" has not disappeared, but the shuttle has fed back the information of cooling down for several days.
It seems that this time the shuttle is not a failure.
"Kamiyaga?"
Asami Hiroko knocked on the door in confusion, and when she was about to call again, the door opened with a click.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing Natsukawa sweating profusely, Asami Hiroko peeked into the room with a strange expression.
