Chapter 180

The troops were divided into two groups.

Terui Ryu first handed those documents to Shiraishi, then looked at Shiraishi and said: "Officer Shiraishi, I would like to trouble you to analyze, summarize and refine the files of these missing persons...

"If you have any special conclusions, you can notify me by phone as soon as possible, and I will make a corresponding judgment based on the situation."

Later, Terui Ryu continued: "Officer Basano and Makura and I will conduct interviews and investigations on the families of several of the missing persons to see if we can get any information other than the files... .

"If there is any information that can help you analyze it, we will notify you as soon as possible.

"Keep the lines open."

Following Terui Ryu's serious speech, the Abnormal Event Investigation Section also entered full speed.

Shiraishi took the missing person's file, and then nodded solemnly to Terui Ryuu.

Police Constable Toshi Makura also nodded slightly cautiously.

Then, Terui Ryuya walked to his desk. While putting the engine sword into a silver suitcase, he continued to add: "In terms of field work, Officer Basano and Officer Makura are working together, and I myself Let's take a group...

"Due to some special reasons, I need to act alone for a while..."

After hearing what Terui Ryu said, Police Officer Makura nodded slightly and then left.

Next, he will find Officer Basino and act with him.

Shiraishi, on the other hand, slowly sat behind his desk, holding the pile of missing persons' files.

Next, he will start the boring analysis.

As for Terui Ryuu, he also carried a silver suitcase containing the engine sword and immediately walked out.

However, just before Terui Ryuu left, Shiraishi suddenly raised his head. He looked at Terui Ryuu's back and asked with interest: "Speaking of which, Section Chief...

"Is that engine sword useful?"

Terui Ryu's steps paused slightly.

He turned his face slightly and looked at Shiraishi with his peripheral vision.

After a moment, Terui Ryu withdrew his gaze, and he said calmly: "It's a good weapon."

Then, Terui Ryu left.

Baishi looked at the pile of missing persons' files in front of him and shook his head slightly.

...

After leaving the Abnormal Event Investigation Section, Ryu Terui did not immediately go to the home address of the missing person recorded in the file to investigate. Instead, he carried the silver suitcase containing the engine sword to a certain forest.

And deep in the woods, Terui Ryuya found the goal he was trying to find...

Wearing a black hat, dark sunglasses and a pure white mask to cover his face, he is a special figure hiding his entire body under a black trench coat and white bandages...

Shroud.

This is her code name.

The true creator of the Engine Sword.

A supporter who helps Terui Ryu embark on his path of revenge.

Looking at Terui Ryu who appeared here, Shroud also said calmly: "What, Terui Ryu, have you seen the powerful power of the Engine Sword?

"Now, are you interested in [trading]?"

Terui Ryu narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked at Shroud and explained: "The Engine Sword is indeed powerful, but it is not enough for me to complete my revenge...

"Although the Engine Sword can indeed fight head-on with the dopant, without matching powerful strength and armor, the speed and timing of the slash will be limited.

“I have to become stronger.

"Only by becoming stronger can I wield the sword of revenge at the right time..."

Shroud just stood there quietly, her hands hidden in her windbreaker. She spoke calmly and said to Jing Long: "As long as you are willing to do what I say, I will provide you with enough revenge." The power of...

"On top of the [Engine Sword], there is also the matching [Accel Armor]...

"You understand, as long as you agree to the deal with me, I will give you that power."

Looking at Shroud who had completely hidden everything about himself, Terui Ryu asked: "Are you the same as that Jin Jinqing, claiming to be a devil?"

However, Shroud shook his head slightly: "A devil who comes from lava purgatory and devours human souls..."

"No, I'm not interested in the human soul.

"I'm just an innocent soul.

“After being pushed into purgatory, my unwillingness and hatred condensed, turning me into an injustice.

“And my purpose has only been one from beginning to end.

"【revenge】."

Shroud looked at Terui Ryu, and she said calmly: "And the transaction between us is not a ritual for the devil to try to absorb human souls...

"It was just sympathy between the Avengers.

“The deal is simple.

"I will help you complete your revenge.

"And after that, you have to help me complete my revenge.

"The target of your revenge is a heinous criminal.

“And the target of my revenge is also a member of a dark organization with countless crimes...

"We are all just using our own methods to punish those who deserve to be punished...

"Isn't it?"

Terui Ryu was silent for a moment.

After a while, Terui Ryu said: "I can agree to your deal, but before that, we need to solve a problem..."

"What?" Shroud asked.

"Officer Shiraishi." Terui Ryu replied.

309-Lies are the best thing to do

After hearing Ryu Terui's words, Shroud did not answer immediately. She just stood there quietly and looked at Ryu Terui, as if waiting for Ryu Terui to explain the matter of "resolving Officer Shiraishi".

Terui Ryu looked in the direction of the Abnormal Incident Investigation Section, and then explained calmly: "It would be fine if he was just an ordinary Metropolitan Police officer, as long as he simply uses the [special police officer provided within the Metropolitan Police Department for front-line officers] Equipment] to explain the power I got from you...

"After all, ordinary police officers know very little about the special departments and the elite police officers of the Metropolitan Police Department. These excuses can be used to excuse themselves...

“But that Officer Shiraishi was different.

“He is a senior technician at the Metropolitan Police Department.

“And he’s still in the Abnormal Event Investigation Class.

"When we were planning the members of the Abnormal Incident Investigation Section before, we met in a hurry due to the arrangements of the Metropolitan Police Department...

“That’s when he noticed the engine sword.

"Although I used [special equipment] as an excuse to temporarily get over it, but such an excuse obviously cannot be used anymore..."

Terui Ryu withdrew his gaze, and he explained to Shroud: "Now, Officer Shiraishi and I are in the same department. Although we still have the position difference of [Section Chief] and [Advisor], but, There is no absolute information gap between us.

"It would be better to say that Officer Shiraishi, who is in charge of technical work, is even better informed than me about [special equipment] or [prototype equipment]...

“Therefore, the excuse of [special equipment] that was used before can no longer be used.

“If you continue to use it, you will be found out immediately.

“Because of the special equipment of the Abnormal Incident Investigation Section, Officer Shiraishi is almost in charge of it.

"Not only that..."

Terui Ryu paused for a moment, and then he said calmly: "Not only that, the Shiraishi police officer seemed to have vaguely realized that the technology contained in the [Engine Sword] did not come from the Metropolitan Police Department... ..

“He had briefly inspected the engine sword earlier.

"Just after the personnel of the Abnormal Event Investigation Section were confirmed.

"And just by simply touching and investigating, and simply twisting the deformation mechanism of the engine sword, he accurately said the terms you mentioned before...

"Next, he even adjusted and modified the engine sword to a certain extent, saying that he wanted to improve the overall strength of the Abnormal Event Investigation Section starting from the equipment...

"I don't know how much he knows about the engine sword and the technology in the engine sword...

"But judging from his solemn and puzzled expression, he is obviously doubting and scrutinizing why such a work appears in the Metropolitan Police Department...

“Furthermore, after adjustments, the performance of the Engine Sword has indeed been improved to a certain extent.

"If there was no cover-up, just by relying on the investigation of the special equipment, the Shiraishi police officer would have been able to find you Shroud hiding in the dark.

“And that’s very detrimental to our revenge.

"so......

“If we want to ensure that our revenge can proceed smoothly, we need to consider the obstacles that Officer Shiraishi may cause in the process.

“He is a police officer after all.

“And our revenge is ultimately an extralegal matter.

“Will he see through our collaboration?

"After seeing through it, how will he choose?

“We have to address these issues.

"certainly......

"I prefer the simplest solution -

"lie.

"As long as Officer Shiraishi naturally believes that the [Engine Sword] and the accompanying [Accel Armor] are from reliable and reasonable sources, and let him think that all this is part of the plan, he will naturally not hinder us.

"In this way, it can also prevent the Shiraishi police officer from being forced to get involved in dangerous incidents...

"And when the revenge is completed, when Officer Shiraishi vaguely realizes that something is wrong, everything is already completed...

“[Lies] are the best thing to do.

"As long as you tell a subtle enough lie, you can avoid most unnecessary trouble."

Terui Ryu looked at the palm of his hand and said calmly: "Although the hearts of the Avengers who came out of purgatory are burning with anger, if possible, I hope that the blazing flames will not burn innocent people.

"Covering it with lies is a good choice."

After hearing Terui Ryu's explanation, Shroud nodded slightly in silence, as if thinking about something.

After a moment, Shroud looked at Terui Ryu again, and she asked: "You mean, he can understand the working principle of the engine sword to a certain extent...

"He even modified the Engine Sword?"

Terui Ryu nodded slightly.

While speaking, Shroud stretched out his hand.

Terui Ryu understood it.

Terui Ryu handed the silver suitcase containing the engine sword to Shroud who was standing there.

Shroud immediately squatted down, opened the silver suitcase, and began to conduct simple structural exploration and simple performance testing of the modified engine sword.

After a while, Shroud closed the suitcase again. She stood up slowly and looked at Ryu Terui. She said calmly: "It seems now that Officer Shiraishi of the Abnormal Event Investigation Division is more serious than you expected." powerful......

“At least in terms of materials science, he is a genius who alone has led the entire materials field for nearly ten years...

“It is absolutely no exaggeration to call him a genius materials scientist.

“When designing and manufacturing the engine sword, due to the limitations of development and manufacturing conditions, I was unable to fit the most suitable parts to every component of the engine sword. Therefore, the two key structures did not use the theoretically optimal materials. .....

"However, Shiraishi technicians not only discovered anomalies in these two key structures, but also used special materials that I had never heard of to construct these two key structures...

“And that new type of special material has even better performance than the theoretical best material on the design drawing.

“And this is one of the reasons why you feel that the performance of the Engine Sword has improved after modification.

“Because the current engine sword is more powerful than the theoretical optimal state constructed on the design drawings.
