When the government worked together for something related to their own interests, the power they could unleash was astonishing. The plan to capture the Jade Lion of the Night was carried out in full swing, and all the forces had their eyes on the small Kusaka City. Public Security Department 5, Cabinet Force, MIfang, Chaebol.
The meeting ended in the wee hours of the morning, and by noon, the officers of Department 5 had already visited and investigated tens of thousands of households within a two-kilometer radius of where the Jade Lion of the Night appeared. They analyzed whether there were any witnesses, whether they heard any animal sounds, and detailed data was continuously summarized into the hands of the analysts. One by one, mathematical models were constantly perfected. After synthesizing all kinds of data, Department 5 locked their target on a bridge at the intersection of Adachi and Hanahato-Cho.
That was the place where the animal sounds were first heard, and it was also the place where the Jade Lion of the Night was most likely to appear.
They set up high-speed surveillance, secretly dispersed the residents, and transformed the houses into temporary combat units. In order to capture the Jade Lion of the Night, MIfang even exaggeratedly found the interception ropes used by aircraft carriers to intercept fighter jets …
The response work of Department 5 was coordinated and directed by the head of Department 5, Seimei Shukishima.
Although Seimei Shukishima had done her homework on how to be a good leader, she still lacked experience. She was busy commanding and dispatching hundreds of people. Her breathing was unstable, and she even lost a handful of hair.
Shirata Yuki, who was at her beck and call, was even more busy. She had become Seimei Shukishima's aide-de-camp as she wished, but she hadn't been promoted yet.
"Should I be happy or should I cry?" Seimei Shukishima found a corner and sat paralyzed on a chair, looking at the sky.
The encirclement had been completed. Behind the seemingly peaceful houses, the officers of Department 5, MIfang, and Cabinet Force were everywhere.
In the encirclement, Seimei Shukishima felt that she was purely busy, but even so, she was exhausted. She checked the progress of the project here and supervised the construction there, and the more she watched, the more she realized that she was too unprofessional.
There were no real newbies in the fifth lesson. All the officers were elites in investigation, tracking, anti-tracking, electronics, and other fields transferred from other departments. Many of the people that MIfang placed in the fifth lesson were even veterans who had retired from the battlefield, and their hands were stained with countless lives. With a single order, they could form several elite assault squads. Even if someone jumped out and said that they knew how to drive tanks, fly airplanes, repair aircraft carriers, and polish nuclear bombs, Seimei Frost wouldn't be surprised.
With such a group of subordinates, they didn't even need to wait for Seimei Shukishima's order before they moved on their own. To put it bluntly, it didn't matter if she was there or not.
Every department under Lesson Five had their own masters. For example, the four departments under MIfang's control completely ignored Seimei Shuroshima. Some of the other departments were trusted aides of the Prime Minister, some were spokesmen of the chaebols, and all of them had a powerful god backing them.
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she felt.
The sky darkened silently, and Tokyo on the other side of the river began to display its sleepless attitude.
"Principal … it's getting dark."
Shiroda Yuki took a sip of mineral water and looked at the darkened sky. Goosebumps appeared on her arms.
She had a bad feeling. She was facing a super ferocious beast tonight, not a harmless police ghost at Akamon Temple. If a battle broke out, would Shiroda Yuki be able to lie down and pretend to be dead?
"Yeah." Seimei Shukishima clenched her fist.
It would be best if they could interact peacefully. Otherwise … the houses around her that had been transformed into temporary combat units were no laughing matter.
Except for the occasional sound of footsteps, the surroundings were eerily quiet.
"Are you Seimei Shukishima?"
A crisp female voice sounded beside Seimei Shukishima.
The female voice sounded like she was about sixteen or seventeen years old. Her voice was beautiful and pleasant, but there was no anger in her tone. It was as cold as a block of ice from the Cambrian period.
Seimei Shukishima frowned. Who was this rude? Since her promotion, there weren't many people who dared to call her by her name.
Seimei Shukishima looked in the direction of the voice. She kept a straight face, imitating her father's stern face when he scolded his apprentices.
"Gulp."
When she saw who it was, she was so scared that her legs turned to jelly, and she almost fell off her chair.
The Mochizuki Misa in the file was standing in front of Seimei Shukishima. She was wearing a loose girly outfit with a hat on her head. She looked like a common girl on the streets of Tokyo.
"Hey, how can you be so rude to the headmaster? Please …"
Shirata Yuki glared angrily at the girl who had suddenly appeared, looking like a loyal dog protecting its master.
Before Shiroda Yuki could finish, Seimei Shukishima immediately covered her mouth and held her stomach with one hand. She straightened her body.
"That's better. Calling me Seimei Shukishima is so friendly." Seimei Shukishima smiled at Mochizuki Misa. "You … you're here?"
"Will a transcendent appear tonight?" Misa went straight to the point.
Seimei Shukishima smiled awkwardly. "There's a chance that a Jade Lion of the Night will appear, but it's not absolute. Do you have any impression of a Jade Lion of the Night?"
This was the first time she came into contact with Mochizuki Misa in real life. Misa was a true killing god. Even if she was not as powerful as Bone Lady in the Black Zone, she was still an existence that she had to look up to.
Speaking of which, she seemed to be a member of the fifth class. Nominally, she was under her jurisdiction.
"Jade Lion of the Night …"
Beneath Misa's deep eyes, her bones were crackling. She hated fighting, hated endless battles.
However, since Master Bone Lady asked her to come, she had no reason to hesitate.
A transcendent existence like her?
Jade Lion of the Night.
…
Little Q hummed a tune and walked with happy steps.
"Mizuno is so kind tonight. That's strange."
Little Q was not forced to run by Mizuno tonight. Instead, it could freely use its time. It was not a problem to go to Kusaka City for a rendezvous. There was no time limit.
However, Mizuno made a strange request for it, which was to transform into another type of dog and go to Kusaka City.
Did he think that its original form was not handsome enough?
What a joke. Little Q was an existence that could beat up stray dogs and kick grass and shelter!
It could kick whoever it wanted with one leg!
It could stand on the north and south streets and find out who the father was!
Be it bullterriers or rottweilers, when Little Q appeared, all of them obediently offered their buttocks for it to smell.
However, considering that it was that kid's owner, it had to take care of his emotions. Thus, Little Q reluctantly transformed into the image of a Shiba Inu.
For the long-awaited meeting, Little Q deliberately swam in Maochangchuan and washed its body.
When it reached the shore, it shivered and shook off the water droplets on its body.
"Woof!!"
Little Q couldn't wait and howled at the sky, its lower body moving faster.
A blue ball of light suddenly appeared by the riverbank.
It saw the light of Kusaka City's street lights, the familiar streets, and … a gun?
"Click."
Muzzles protruded from the windows of the houses.
The dazzling searchlight shone on Little Q's body, making it impossible for it to hide.
It was exactly the same scene as the criminals in Hollywood movies!
"This shouldn't be. I'm just a dog."
