Just the bond that tied a knot in me

"No, no, I'm not upset with you. I'm sorry to bother you."

The man walked very fast, as if Christina behind him was a ferocious beast, for fear that if he walked slowly, the other party would think that he was provoking.

"Hmph! Coward!"

Christina hummed, feeling more masculine.

"Gumen, let's go over there and have a look."

Saita Riko, in line with the principle that doing more is worse than doing less, pulled Ikki Gumon to the other side.

"stop!"

"Excuse me, what's the matter..."

Before Ikki finished speaking, he was dragged away by Riko Saita.

"Sorry, we're in a bit of a hurry."

Saita Riko smiled politely, holding the hand holding the drawing board and Gumon Ikki's arm.

"You two are a couple, right? How about I take a photo for you? I'm quite famous in the photography circle, so you won't refuse if I take a photo for you, right?" Christina said, taking out the camera from her bag.

"Me?"

Ikki Gumon and Riko Saita looked at each other, wondering why Christina, who is a woman, calls herself a man.

"Can't you? That's what I like to call myself." Christina said in a fierce tone.

"sure."

Saita Riko said with a forced smile.

"Then it's settled, I'll take a picture for you."

Christina adjusted the Polaroid camera in her hand.

"Hey, we didn't agree..."

Ikki Gumon saw that the smile on Saita Riko's face was a little forced, and felt that he should say something at this time.

Saita Riko tugged on Gumon Ikki's arm and put her fingers in front of her lips.

"Shh!"

Christina saw the interaction between the couple in her eyes, and a trace of displeasure flashed on her face. She now saw the couple showing affection in front of her like holding up a torch and shouting "FFF".

Christina took off her fisherman's hat and sunglasses, put the fisherman's hat on Saita Riko's head, and put the sunglasses on Gumon Ikki's face, took a few steps back, and pointed the Polaroid camera at them.

"You are a couple, right? Put on a more intimate pose! It's as if your relationship has broken down and is about to break up."

Christina was very dissatisfied with the two's posture.

Hearing this, Gumon Ikki and Saita Riko came closer.

Ikki Gumon hesitated for a moment, then put his arm around Riko Saita's shoulders with a shy smile on his face.

Saita Riko saw the expression on Gumon Ikki's face and laughed.

"Crack!"

Christina took a photo of this heartwarming scene with a polaroid camera, looked at the photo in her hand, and handed the photo to Gumon Yihui.

"I gave you sunglasses and a hat as a gift for your first meeting."

"Hey, that..."

Ikki Gumon looked at the photo in his hand and wanted to call Christina, but he couldn't find her.

Chapter 6 Conversation with Ji Yajun

The quiet coffee shop plays classical, elegant and peaceful piano music.

The good environment, coupled with the fact that the location of the coffee shop is very quiet and there are no noisy sounds, makes it easy for people to immerse themselves in the quiet atmosphere of the coffee shop and relax wholeheartedly.

"Tina, you have changed a lot."

Ji Yazhun looked at Christina, who had her hair cut short. The short hair was tied in pigtails, making her look younger than her actual age. She was a little less unreasonably stupid and stubborn, and a little more free and heroic.

"Exactly, you invited me here to see how I am doing in Japan, right?"

Christina stirred the coffee and kept adding sugar cubes to the coffee.

"Me?"

Ji Yazhun was stunned when he heard Christina refer to herself as a man.

"Is there anything wrong? I think this is very handsome!"

Christina raised her eyebrows. A place like the coffee shop was too elegant and not suitable for a vulgar rough guy like her.

"Isn't he handsome...hahaha..."

Ji Yaquan laughed dryly and said apologetically: "Tina, I'm sorry, I couldn't prevent that photo from appearing in the newspaper."

"As war reporters, aren't we just to let more people see the cruelty of war? Yes, you don't have to apologize to me, and there is no need to apologize. The fact that I didn't blame you proves that I support the exposure of the photos."

Christina picked up the coffee and took a sip. The sweet and bitter coffee made her stick out her tongue.

"It's so bitter! Is this sugar cube fake?"

Freshly brewed coffee, which in her opinion is definitely at the top of the list of dark cuisines, is as outrageous as Japanese sashimi and hand sushi.

It's not something that low-end people like her can enjoy. Even though so much sugar has been added, it's still bitter.

"Maybe you're not used to freshly brewed coffee."

Seeing that Christina didn't care, Ji Yazhun smiled reassuringly.

"How's Sierra?"

Christina suddenly asked, she had been in Japan for so long, and she didn’t even know how Sera was doing.

"Sela's village... was attacked, and the people in the village moved to other places..."

Ji Yajun fell silent, looked at the coffee, and sighed, "Seira's family members all died in the war. Even if we expose the cruelty of the war, the war will not disappear."

"yes……"

Christina felt deeply, so what if they exposed the cruelty of war?

Will war disappear because of this?

No, war will not disappear.

"Even so, I don't want to give up. I will continue my work as a war correspondent, photograph the reality of the battlefield, and call on people to pay attention to the problem."

Himeya Jun held the coffee cup, felt the temperature of the coffee cup, looked at the silent Christina, and asked: "Tina, why did you leave the newspaper?"

"Perhaps, as you said, I am not suitable to be a war correspondent. Just like what I am doing now, as a photographer, it is very easy and free."

Christina's smile is free and easy, and she has no reluctance to give up as a war correspondent.

"Are you investigating something dangerous?"

Himeya Jun's intuition as a reporter told him that Christina seemed to be doing something dangerous.

"What dangerous things can I do? Jun, instead of caring about me, you might as well care more about your own things. That photo has brought you a lot of attention. Have you thought about what to do next?"

That photo caused a strong reaction and attention in society, and Himeya Jun, as the photographer, was also paid attention to by many people.

Christina didn't want Himeya Jun to be involved in danger. He was powerless in the face of alien beasts without becoming an adaptable person. Even the Night Raid Team could not face alien beasts without such sophisticated equipment.

Moreover, there were many conspiracies that she couldn't sort out. Both TLT and Dark Zagi had their own plans.

"Tina, if you need my help, please don't hesitate."

Himeya Jun said with a smile. He also thought that he might be too sensitive.

"If you are short of money, I will definitely find you, famous person."

Christina took a sip of coffee, paused, and a few drops of coffee slipped from the corner of her mouth and dripped onto the table. She put down the coffee, took out her mobile phone to check the time, and stood up with her bag.

"Jun, the time for a photo shoot with a girl who likes anime is coming soon. Let's talk about it next time!"

Christina smiled with a hint of pride, and walked out quickly without waiting for Himeya Jun to speak.

"Zhun, you treat me to coffee."

"Ah?"

Jun Himeya looked at Christina's back, then returned his gaze to the table, smiling helplessly and shaking his head.

In the factory far away from the town, there was a sound of digging underground.

The worker heard the sound and lay on the ground with his ears pressed against the ground. He heard the digging sound getting closer and closer, and saw the cracks on the ground. The moment he raised his head, a claw like a pliers stretched out from the hard ground, and then a strange beast with horns on its back and an insect-like appearance dug through the ground and drilled out, with red compound eyes emitting a terrifying light.

"Ah! Ah ah ah ah!"

The worker screamed in fear when he saw the strange beast Arakune, and tried to get away from Arakune, but was caught by Arakune's claw like a pliers. The sharp mouthparts tore the worker's flesh and blood, and the chewing sound accompanied by the worker's screams of pain and despair resounded throughout the factory.

"What happened?"

"Is it over there?"

The workers took whatever sticks and other weapons they could find and walked towards the direction of Arakune. What they saw was blood all over the ground and a bloody corpse that had been eaten.

Arakune's mouth, which was full of sharp teeth, opened and closed, and drops of blood flowed down.

"Strange..."

"Monster!"

The workers were terrified when they saw this visually impactful scene. The strong smell of blood hit them. They turned around and wanted to escape. However, many Arakune appeared from all around. The workers in this factory were obviously surrounded by Arakune. Their fear that was about to reach the extreme point would become the food for the growth of Arakune.

Another Arakune, or more of them acting together...Has the night raid team not arrived yet?

Christina looked at the Arakune who surrounded the factory workers.

The night raid team that drove the Chrome Chester fighter was obviously not as fast as Christina who came to the factory by space jump.

I can't care so much. I can't just watch them die here.

Christina took out the energy blaster and aimed at an Arakune who couldn't help but pounce on the workers.

Bang!

Arakune's body radiated light and exploded into a light spot in the air.

The workers were stunned when they saw the terrifying monster explode in the air.

The Arakunes who were walking towards the workers stopped and looked at Christina.

Chapter 7 The Evolution of Alien Beasts

"What are you still standing there for? Run away!"

Christina's voice became a little rough and smoky through the mask, and she rushed towards Arakune with an energy blaster in hand.

The workers hurriedly ran to the side where there was no Arakune, and Arakune immediately blocked them. How could the alien beast with predatory instinct let go of the food that was close to its mouth?

With a bang, another Arakune was blown up. Christina kept moving, using the energy blaster to attack the Arakunes on both sides, and rushed forward to avoid the hook of the Arakune behind her.

While rushing forward, she pulled the energy blaster, knelt on one knee, turned around and shot the Arakune with one shot.

Kicked down another Arakune with a sweep, and Christina stepped on Arakune's chest. When she was about to use the energy blaster to blow it up, there was a digging sound on the ground, and a claw pierced through Arakune's chest and grabbed her leg, clamping it tightly like a vise.

Christina groaned in pain and noticed the Arakune attacking from both sides.

Is this the evolution of the alien beast? What a terrifying evolution speed.

Christina's pupils shrank suddenly, and she deeply felt the rapid evolution of the alien beast.

At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded, followed by gunshots, and Arakune who attacked her was hit by continuous bullets.

Night attack team?

Christina quietly hid the energy blaster, her body trembling, and her voice was crying.

"You, you guys quickly think of a way!"
