Lost Paradise? Game on!

"Take a count of all the cases this morning."

Kageyama Saeko frowned.

This is the first time something has gone wrong since she took office.

Before, I had only known about this race called Gurongi from information and from other Ophiinos.

Now it seems that it is indeed a bit tricky.

The assistants pushed up a map with the location of the crime marked on it.

After the death of Orphinoth, only dust was left, which made their investigation work extremely difficult.

There is no way. There is always that unlucky guy who dies in the corner and cannot be found for a long time.

Another point is that there is no way to judge the time when the crime was committed.

Saeko didn't really think it was a pity that these Orphies died, she was just completing the task assigned by her superiors.

In other words, compared to those inferior Ophiinos that broke at the slightest touch and were extremely weak, she was more interested in these guys called Gurongi.

Placed in front of Saeko was a huge map.

"Shinagawa District?"

"Yes."

Soon, the deputy captain Zhuo Mo and the team members gradually arrived.

As for Beiqi, no one knew where he had gone, but Saeko didn't care much about his whereabouts.

"Everyone is here, we can start."

The assistant nodded, took out the report in his hand, pointed at the map and spoke.

“These are the locations where reports were received and victims were found.”

On the map, there are rows of small red crosses.

"The number of victims has exceeded 20 since this morning."

"With such a large number, it is certain that it was done by Gurongi, but..."

Looking at the strangely arranged crime scene, Saeko turned her gaze to her teammates.

"You've all fought those monsters, what do you think?"

After hesitating for a moment, seeing that no one around spoke, Yongze gritted his teeth and stood up.

"I feel like the opponent this time is a little different from the past."

"Oh? Tell me."

Saeko nodded to Nagase, signaling him to continue speaking boldly.

“I have fought against more than one Gurongi before, and although they always committed crimes in a certain area, they also killed randomly.

In cases like this one, the distribution of crime locations is somewhat concerning.”

Saeko still believes in Nagase's words. After all, they have been at the forefront of the fight against Gurongi, so they must have their own unique understanding.

"I feel like I've seen this pattern connecting these crime scenes before."

"Can't you think of it?"

After hearing his words, a group of people stared at the map in a daze for a while.

Just when Saeko was about to give up and send out more Leo cavalry to conduct a large-scale search, Toda, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"It's the bee dance!"

"Bee dance?"

Facing the puzzled crowd, Toda stood up, walked quickly to the map, took the paintbrush from his assistant, and connected the red crosses into a line.

"That's it! Bees tell their companions the distance and direction of the nectar source by performing specific dance movements inside the hive, such as the "circle dance" and the "figure-8 dance."

Look! "

When he connected all the crime scenes into a line, everyone finally understood.

“The Gurongi clan is very similar to our Ophiino clan, both of them increase their strength by evolving the characteristics of other creatures.

If the Gurongi that appeared this time has the habits of a bee, then..."

There was a gleam of wisdom in Toda's eyes, and Saeko understood it immediately as well.

"So this time our opponent is an enemy from the air.

No wonder there have been no witnesses.”

Zhuo Mu understood at this moment, and he walked forward quickly.

"If this is the case, then the next murder location can be predicted."

Just as they were discussing heatedly, things took a turn for the better.

"Captain, there is a new discovery!"

Suddenly, a reporting voice came from outside, attracting the attention of everyone present.

It turned out that the search team found a small hole with a diameter of about one centimeter on the ground at the scene of the murder.

And inside these holes, poison needles made of unknown materials were found, which were about the same length and thickness as chopsticks.

"Poison needle? Have you tested the composition of the poison?"

Saeko immediately continued to ask.

"Yes, according to preliminary investigations, its material and toxins are very similar to the sting and toxins of a wasp."

"That's right, Toda. You're right."

She looked at Toda with approval, then turned to Takuma again.

"Deputy Captain, lead the team and set off immediately!

The target is the next predicted crime scene!"

Saeko waved her hand and gave the order.

. . . . . .

"Mei Bakisi Baki, that's my name."

At this moment, Gurongi and Wasp Pakis, who were playing the game, were lying on the rooftop of an old residential building.

He was lazily basking in the sun, and next to him was the Counting Vulture Man who was very indifferent to him.

As a Wasp Gurongi, Pakis may have inherited its gregarious nature. When he plays alone, he always likes to chase after the Vulture Gurongi and talk to him.

"Lin Duo has really changed. I originally wanted to go down and take a look at his head that was pierced by the poison needle.

When I got down there, all I saw was a pile of dust."

Seemingly a little annoyed by this guy, the vulture man finally spoke.

"Can't your poison needle grow faster?"

The vulture man stared at him with a look of disdain in his eyes.

This guy is such a wimp.

“That can’t be helped, I’m not strong enough.

As long as my game is successful, I will have the confidence to reduce the regeneration time of my poison needle from the current 15 minutes to one minute. "

The vulture man blinked and said nothing more.

15 minutes becomes 1 minute, that kind of enhancement seems to be quite a lot.

Seeing that the vulture man still seemed to look down on him, Bakis immediately added a sentence.

"Don't doubt my eyesight and accuracy, I never miss a shot.

I will definitely finish the game before the time limit, and then join [Ge] with my head held high!"

Vulture Man: ...

This seems like a fool. If it weren't for the counting job, I would stay away from you in a minute.

"Okay, it's about time."

After looking down at his arms several times, Bakis finally smiled.

He just opened his arms gently, and the transparent wings behind him suddenly enlarged several times and opened to both sides at the same time.

"The hunt begins!"
