My fiancée Yukino

"clang!"

A crisp sound rang out as the sword was blocked, and Hiruko Kagetane's clothes on his wrist were burned away, revealing a black prosthetic limb underneath.

Like Rentaro Satomi, it is a prosthetic limb made of flowers.

However, unlike Rentaro Satomi, Kagetane Hiruko's entire body is made of prosthetics made of jasmine, making him completely non-human.

After blocking Luo Bai's attack, Hiruko Kagehira's slightly smug voice came over.

"I blocked it, Luo Bai-jun. Giving me this distance is your biggest mistake."

The next moment, he delivered a powerful right punch, smashing it towards Luo Bai's abdomen.

However, Hiruko Kagetane's smugness lasted only a few seconds before he saw his fist pass through Luo Bai's body without causing any damage or bleeding.

"How can this be?"

"Nothing is impossible, you know. Look, this has happened."

Luo Bai chuckled, and wisps of flame began to emerge from his body. Except for his left hand holding the briefcase, his entire body was engulfed in flames, turning him into a human torch.

This flame was even hotter than the flaming sword from before, and it even ignited Hiruko Kagetane's right hand, causing it to gradually melt and deform.

Hiruko Kagetane immediately distanced himself, looking at his unusable prosthetic right hand.

After realizing that the fire was spreading upwards and that he couldn't stop it, Hiruko Kagetane removed the wrist prosthesis that reached his elbow.

This means that he has lost a significant portion of his fighting strength.

Seeing her father's condition, Hiruko Kohina, who was in a stalemate with Aihara Enju, also became anxious.

"father!"

Just as he was about to go and help, he was distracted and seized the opportunity to kick Aihara Enju, sending him flying and crashing into a tree.

"Hmph, trying to distract you, you really look down on me!"

Aihara Enju gave a smug snort, then went over and snatched Hiruko Kohina's two kodachi (small swords).

"It's a pity we don't have any equipment, otherwise we could have just tied him up."

Seeing Hiruko Kohina lying on the ground, unable to move for a while, Aihara Enju squatted down and poked her cheek with her finger.

"Hmph, so-so. She's not cute at all compared to me."

Hiruko Kohina was completely powerless to resist at this moment, as Aihara Enju's kick was delivered with full force, landing squarely on her body.

It was only because of her status as a cursed child, coupled with the constant training she received from Hiruko Kagetane, that she hadn't lost consciousness yet.

Seeing his daughter defeated, Hiruko Kagetane was also very troubled, knowing that his goal could not be achieved.

Just as he was about to retreat, a chilling killing intent appeared from behind him. Hiruko Kagetane quickly dodged, and then saw a black figure rushing towards him, passing by him.

Narrowing his eyes, Hiruko Kagetane said, "Ah, Ms. Tendo Kisara, I didn't expect you to be involved in the operation as well. But with your physical condition, you're not suited for combat."

"You don't need to worry about that."

Holding his own sword, Yukage, he looked at Hiruko Kagetane with a cold expression.

After Tendo Kisara appeared, Kocho Shinobu and Satomi Rentaro also arrived and surrounded Hiruko Kagetane.

Slowly raising his hands, Hiruko Kagetane said with a wry smile, "Oh dear, there are so many opponents. I admit defeat, I admit defeat. Can you let me go?"

Taking a stance, Rentaro Satomi stared intently at Kagetane Hiruko and said, "Do you think that's possible?"

"I'm trying to negotiate amicably, Rentaro Satomi. There aren't just a few of us here; there are many Gastrea lurking around. If we start fighting, it might attract even more Gastrea."

As he spoke, Hiruko Kagetane took off his left glove, revealing a small device attached to his palm.

"Let me go. If you question me and insist on fighting, unpredictable consequences will occur in this forest."

Hiruko Kageyu's words made Luo Bai raise an eyebrow.

So, did he place something here?

Luo Bai glanced at the briefcase in his hand, thought for a moment, and then said, "I can let you go, but your daughter can't. She's our prize now, and also a hostage."

"...Can."

After Hiruko Kagetane agreed, Luo Bai gestured for Kocho Shinobu and Satomi Rentaro to come over.

She breathed a small sigh of relief and looked at Hiruko Kohina, who was being controlled by Aihara Enju, and said, "My dear daughter, wait for me a moment, I'll come and take you back soon."

After saying that, he turned and walked straight into the depths of the forest.

Volume 1: Chapter 347 The Arrival of the Police (1/2)

After Hiruko Kagetane left, Kocho Shinobu came to Rakuhaku's side.

"Is it really okay to just let him go like this?"

Luo Bai shook his head, showing the briefcase he had retrieved, and said, "As long as this thing is still here, he will definitely reappear. The main problem is that we're in the wilderness now, and there are too many uncertainties. We don't need to fight him head-on. Besides, we still have a hostage here, don't we?"

Looking at Hiruko Kohina, who was being controlled by Aihara Enju, Luo Bai took out a bundle from his bracelet and went over to tie her hands.

"Yeonju, have you checked her for any other weapons?"

"Yes, there was a dagger, but I confiscated it."

Aihara Enju smiled and proudly showed off the dagger she had pulled from under Hiruko Kohina's skirt.

Hiruko Kohina glared at everyone and said, "Just you wait, Daddy will definitely come to save me!"

"I agree with that; he will definitely come again."

Kneeling down in front of Hiruko Kohina, Luo Bai looked at her and said, "But do you really think he can take you away from us?"

Hiruko Kohina didn't say anything, but continued to glare fiercely at herself.

However, in Luo Bai's view, this was just the puppy's last act of stubbornness.

After looking around, Satomi Rentaro said, "Shouldn't we leave? If Hiruko Kagetane is right, then he has definitely set up a lot of traps here."

"There are likely many traps, but there are probably more than these."

Luo Bai propped himself up on his knees, put the suitcase into his bracelet, and then squinted to sense it.

“There are many different auras coming from all directions, including Gastrea and humans.”

"Humanity?"

Kisara Tendo frowned and said, "Could it be other police officers? That's impossible. I was the one who got the intelligence first, and there are no other police officers searching here. How could they have arrived so quickly?"

"Someone leaked the information."

Luo Bai said without any surprise, "We went out with such fanfare, even though the plane was from Sima Heavy Industries, it still departed from a government airport. It's easy to find out the detailed flight path. In fact, don't forget Hiruko Kagetane; that guy's background isn't clean either."

. "

Kisara Tendo flexed his wrists, his expression becoming alert.

"So, shall we fight?"

"Let's see what these guys are up to first."

Because Gastrea were also approaching, the police officers who arrived at the scene actually helped out by dealing with some of the Gastrea in the vicinity.

On their way there, the police officers were puzzled when they saw the frozen Gastrea.

"Who did this?"

One of the police officers said, "Never mind that for now, quickly surround the people, grab the box, and then leave as soon as possible. We can discuss how to divide the money once we're in a safe place!"

Knowing that time was of the essence and they couldn't give the other side a chance to escape, the group sped up and rushed forward.

Luo Bai did not choose to leave either, but instead waited leisurely in the same spot.

A minute later, as Luo Bai and his companions waited, they finally saw a large number of police officers arriving from all directions, along with their partners.

Rentaro Satomi looked at these people and couldn't help but laugh: "There are quite a few people trying to pick up bargains."

Among them was the police officer, Ikuma Masato, who had clashed with him in the Ministry of Defense meeting room earlier, a burly man wielding a large sword.

Upon seeing Rentaro Satomi, Ikuma Shogan laughed, "Kid, you're here too. But seeing how few of you there are, I think you should just surrender and hand over the box."

Standing beside Luo Bai, Shinobu Kocho whispered, "Do these people think they have victory in the bag?"

"Probably, since people's perceptions of strength are different." Luo Bai shrugged, then observed the number of people around him and asked, "Approximately how long will it take to take effect?"

"That's about it, about two more minutes. We need to control the range and dosage to avoid hurting our own people."

As she spoke, Shinobu Kocho slowly retracted the Nichirin Blade that had been extended slightly.

Since there was still a minute left, Luo Bai was happy to chat with the police officers for a few more minutes.

Looking at the police officers, Luo Bai took two steps forward and approached Satomi Rentaro and Tendo Kisara, saying, "Could you tell me how you knew our exact location?"

"Haha, I can't tell you this!"

"That's right, we have our own intelligence sources, finding you is a piece of cake."

"Hmm...is that so?" Luo Bai looked at these self-righteous police officers and shook his head helplessly. "Since your intelligence is so good, have you realized that you've already lost?"

"What do you mean?"

One of the police officers had just asked the question when he felt a sudden weakness in his body, his knees buckled and he collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

The same applies to others; it's just a matter of a few seconds earlier or later due to differences in physical fitness.

In the blink of an eye, the police officers who had just been surrounding Luo Bai and the others were all lying on the ground.

Their originator, however, is still persisting; the gastroenteritis within their bodies gives these little guys a stronger resistance to the virus than the average person.

Yi Xiong, lying prone on the ground, struggled to lift his head, looked at the leisurely Luo Bai and the others, and gritted his teeth, saying, "You actually poisoned me? When did you do that?"

Luo Bai walked over, squatted down in front of the other man, and looked at him, saying, "After you arrived, I won't explain how you poisoned him; you probably wouldn't understand anyway. Now, the situation has reversed. Can you tell me how you obtained the information? If you tell me what I want to hear, I'll give you the antidote. Otherwise, you'll just have to wait to recover in the wild. How long does it take for the toxin to decompose on its own?"

"Three hours."

Luo Bai nodded and smiled at the police officers: "Three hours, in the wilderness like this, you should know what the consequences will be, right? Now, who's willing to be the first to speak up?"

"I'll talk! I'll talk!"

One of the police officers couldn't hold back any longer and hurriedly spoke up, "We received the news half an hour ago, and someone even sent a helicopter from our respective posts to bring us here! As for who it was... it was..."

Luo Bai squinted as he stood up, shaking his head and saying, "You didn't have to say it. I already know who it is."

Tendo Kisara, standing behind, also said with a cold expression, "Tendo Kikunojo, so he was the one manipulating all of this behind the scenes."

Volume 1: Chapter 348 Taking Away the Beginner (2/2)

Luo Bai stretched his arms and then walked towards the cursed children who were gradually losing their will to persevere.

"Isn't this obvious? But don't forget, that old guy really hates Gastrea, and by extension, he hates the Cursed Children. He wishes all the Cursed Children would disappear, so he's been interfering with the Holy Emperor's new Gastrea Law. This time, he probably wants to destroy them all. Hiruko Kagetane was probably sent by him."

If it weren't for Luo Bai and the others, Tendo Kikunojo's plan might very well have succeeded.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs." The plot took a dramatic turn, with the appearance of people like Luo Bai and others who didn't belong to this world, making Tendo Kikunojo's plans increasingly difficult to follow.

Hiruko Kagetane, who was originally expected to be no match for anyone, was easily defeated by Luo Bai.

Ignoring the police officers, Luo Bai looked at the young girls.

"Ren, let's detoxify these children first."

"I know~~"

Butterfly, suppressing a smile, walked over, took out a bottle of pills, and fed one to each of the children.

After taking the antidote, they felt their strength return, and the cursed children immediately looked at Luo Bai and the others with vigilance.

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. If I really wanted to kill you, you would be dead already. I'm giving you the antidote now mainly because I want to ask you a few questions. How are your partners usually treating you?"

The children were taken aback by Luo Bai's question, wondering why he would ask it.

After asking Shinobu to give some snacks to the children, Luo Bai continued, "Elders of the outer district, does anyone know?"

The moment the question was asked, the children's eyes flickered with emotion.

Luo Bai knew that these children probably all knew about it, and many of them probably went there frequently.

“We have met with the elders and the children over there. We have already moved them all to a safe place, so they won’t have to hide like this anymore. The main reason we came to Tokyo Ward this time is for you, the cursed children.”

Luo Bai patted one of the little girls on the head, then took a piece of pie from Shinobu Kocho and took a bite.
