Chapter 457 Three Searches for Castor (Part )
Everyone in the victory team stared blankly at the three bridges in front of them. They were thrown out, so the atmosphere was a little weird for a while. It was so weird that they didn't know what to do next. However, they didn't have much. s Choice.

"Shall we go this way next?" Dagu thought for a long time, and then pointed out a new path, but before he could say anything, Xincheng shouted 'no', and then walked to Dagu with a smile, " Since you chose this one, how about we not choose this one? I don’t want to see the cemetery again.”

Dagu shrugged. He didn't know if he chose the right one. He just followed the instinctive path. Since Xincheng didn't want to, he would just change it. It would be the same anyway.

The others obviously didn't have any objections, so they just walked straight ahead. Then the moment they stepped on the bridge, the world around them flickered again, and what appeared in front of them was It was a world that looked familiar, surrounded by high-rise buildings, and the house numbers were written in Japanese that they were familiar with.

Xincheng waved his hands excitedly. After all, this time it was his choice. Commander Zongfang also breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to see the cemetery again. "Fortunately, this time it is the earth. We should have made the right choice. This is Tokyo, I can confirm that."

"Wait?!" Horii frowned, looked around, and then said, "I always feel weird here? What period of Tokyo is this?"

After listening to Horii's words, others began to carefully observe the details around them and compare them with the Tokyo in their minds. Suddenly, all the faces showed doubts, even Shinjo's face. There was a trace of incomprehension written on it. Although they were sure this was Tokyo, for some reason, this place always gave people a weird feeling.

It was a kind of instinctive rejection, and a very strange paradox appeared in everyone's mind. Everyone in the victory team subconsciously put their hands on their guns and formed a fighting formation. They had experienced The training made them wary of this place without knowing where it came from.

However, all of this comes from instinct. Xincheng said with some uncertainty, "After all, it is a world of consciousness. It is understandable that there are some differences, right? Maybe that guy Casto did it on purpose?"

No matter it was Dagu, Horii or anyone else, no one reacted to Shinjo's self-comforting words. Munakata made a tactical gesture and then walked forward silently.

After just a few steps, the paradoxical feeling of strangeness became stronger. One obvious fact is that although everything here looks similar to the Tokyo in their minds, there always seems to be something in the dark. Hidden, a vague fear enveloped the entire city.

"Damn it! This must not be the Casto of our world!!" Xincheng finally shouted as if he had resigned himself to his fate. "Although that guy also has some bad tastes, he is not that sinister. Although I don't know how he did it, this kind of If the atmosphere were like an escape room, it would probably scare people to death.”

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from not far away. In an instant, the victory team put on the most professional formation, everyone's energy was concentrated to the highest point, and then. A black shadow suddenly fell from the sky.
It was a man wearing a black bat suit. Whether it was his defensive posture after landing or the professional armor, people quickly realized that this was a very special, well-trained warrior. The only problem Yes, this warrior looks like he is underage
"At 1.5 meters, twelve years old?" Horii quickly compared the average data in his mind, "Based on Castor's height as an adult, he should be around twelve years old. If he is stunted, he would be at most ten years old. three years old"

Yes, it was a miniature version of Castor the Bat. Because he was wearing a mask, everyone could only see his eyes and chin, but relying only on these two parts, it was basically certain that he was Castor. Munakata thought for a while, put away the Victory Hypal Gun, raised his hands to show that he was not hostile, and then walked towards the opponent step by step, "You are the Castor who is with Dark Lucifer, right?"

The young bat Casto took a step back silently, then nodded. Dagu thought for a while and squatted down, then continued to ask, "Have you started fighting monsters at this age?"

As Da Gu spoke, Bat Casto seemed to relax his vigilance slightly. He opened his mouth to say something, but soon, he retreated back again. Everyone noticed that his eyes He kept staring at Dagu, but no one knew why Castor kept staring at Dagu.

"It seems that this guy had a very serious trauma in his childhood." Horii frowned. He had also learned some relevant knowledge in the past two years, and he could still see something more or less, "His defensive awareness It’s very heavy. Da Gu seemed to have almost made him let down his guard, but he finally stayed vigilant towards us. But why is he so wary about us, but can he relax a little about Da Gu? "

"Hey~ How can a fat guy like you understand that this is the daily life of us handsome guys?" Already let down your guard.”

While Xincheng was still narcissistic, the young bat Casto suddenly moved. In front of all the victory team, he threw out a hook lock. Then, in a very weird way, he began to slowly 'Blended' into the darkness.

"That's him. This kind of fighting method of shuttling in the darkness is something that Casto in our world doesn't know. This guy is the Casto who was with Dark Lucifer before." Munakata said, while looking towards Although the way he ran forward was very strange, he was still just a child after all. They, the members of the Victory Team who had gone through training, would not be thrown away like this.

Soon, they entered a small alley, and the young Castor disappeared from a hole in the wall in front of them, leaving only the members of the victory team who had just run for a while.

"Stop chasing, we probably have to go around. That small window is probably specially prepared by him for himself. Lina probably can't get through it, let alone us." Horii shook his head, and he figured it out at a glance. The size of the hole makes it difficult for even teenagers to climb over, let alone adults like them.

"Don't worry about the entrance for now, Horii, please pay attention. Is there something wrong here?" Xincheng shouted from the corner of the alley, "There seems to be some kind of corrosive creature that has been infested here?"

Starting from that corner, the surrounding ground began to become pitted, as if some corrosive liquid had spread here and eroded the ground.

Horii walked to the edge of the new city and stopped at the edge of the trace. "Wait, it's very familiar. We should have seen this thing before. It looks like... some kind of soft-bodied creature?"

"You mean some kind of giant leech?" Lina asked subconsciously, and in an instant, everyone reacted. Zongfang looked at the others in surprise, "Could it be that so-called Alien beast?"

"No way? You mean, the kid in this world, Ka., has been dealing with this kind of monster since he was a teenager?" Horii squatted on the ground, a little helpless about the thought that just flashed through his mind. accept.

The Alien Beast Victory Team has also dealt with it. To be precise, they have just dealt with it, so they know better than anyone else how dangerous and terrifying this disgusting and disgusting thing is.

boom!
Suddenly there was an explosion, and everyone looked in the direction of the explosion. They saw Xincheng's face was ashen. He didn't know when he had taken out his gun, blasted a hole in the wall, and then jumped over, "Damn, more than ten people." Fighting monsters? Is the world crazy?"

"Wait! This is his conscious world, it's the past." Lina opened her mouth to stop Xincheng, but in the end she still couldn't finish her words. She turned to the others and said, "As for the Victory Team, even the conscious world , should also be able to protect it, right?"

"What are you talking about!" Horii stared at Lina with wide eyes, "Everything here is probably just a memory of that guy's childhood. Are you sure we are here to protect him? Team Lina?!" "Just tell me if you are willing to follow me!" Lina glanced at Horii, then jumped over the big hole in the wall, "If you don't want to, Horii, just stay here! I believe You can take care of yourself on your own!”

Horii:.
What? I know I wouldn’t do that.
"All of you, follow Xincheng. Even if we know that this is the world of consciousness, we still have to complete our mission!" Munakata gave the order, and then chased after him, while Dagu and Horii were already behind, left and right. Yes, they formed a rear-rear formation.

"There have been abnormal traces around here. If nothing else, there have been alien beasts around here." Dagu said to Horii as he moved, "It's just... Judging from the traces of corrosion, this It’s not from the same period.”

"But, why is there no maintenance?" Horii said hesitantly, and Dagu also shook his head, "I don't know, according to TPC regulations, traces of monsters must be erased wherever monsters have been. Especially in the city.”

Horii nodded. This is the rule of TPC. On the one hand, all the residue left by the monster must be removed. This is on the physical level. But on the other hand, erasing the traces of the monster's appearance is also to let people The tragedy that happened here can be forgotten more quickly,

If a monster has haunted a place and left traces that are not cleaned up, it is likely to cause unrest among people in the entire area, large-scale relocation, a drop in housing prices, and disorder, all of which will occur unknowingly. .
As members of the victory team, Horii and Dagu have naturally received relevant training. The existence of traces of monsters here is very unnatural. If there are traces of monsters everywhere in a neighborhood in their world, then there is a high probability that , the house prices in the entire neighborhood will drop by more than 50%, the rich will move out, the poor will gather, order will begin to be chaotic, and some refugees will appear here.
Even, the entire neighborhood will slowly form a three-nothing zone. These are what they have deduced before. Dagu, Horii, Norui and Masaki Keigo have all participated in similar research and reached conclusions in their own ways. When Horii and Oko were confused, Shinjo's exclamation suddenly came from a distance,

"How can this be!?"

Dagu and Horii looked at each other and ran forward quickly. Then they saw Shinjo standing next to a bookstore. He was holding a newspaper and flipping through the news. Horii walked over to take a look. Reading the information in the newspaper, he muttered in a low voice, "Tokyo Daily. Acid rain appears on a large scale in cities. It is suspected that the atmosphere is too acidic caused by environmental pollution. Random and irregular corrosion occurs all over the world, but it is puzzling. Yes, this acid rain does not seem to have caused any casualties.”

"How is it possible to use such a lame excuse?" Horii looked at the newspaper in disbelief.

Xincheng silently turned the newspaper to the previous page, "And here, a huge gas leak occurred in the suburbs. Please do not return home after being evacuated for a month."

"Can people in this world really hide all this?" As people on the Victory Team who had studied relevant information, they felt a sense of unreality.

"Unless...unless there is something we don't know that is affecting all of this." Horii suddenly raised his head and said with some uncertainty, "Just like what we asked the Kirialodians to do, we hope They can help us stabilize society's emotions. The world may have similar 'tools', but they may be more extreme.

For example, suppressing negative emotions to the limit, or even directly deleting memories."

"Wait." Zongfang suddenly frowned, and then looked at the shadow not far away, where a figure loomed, "If this is the case, then it can explain why his spiritual world is so weird. If it is stuck If it were Stowe's counterpart from another world, then this little guy might not be affected by that 'tool' at all."

Everyone looked in the direction of Zongfang's command post, and the black figure seemed to be invisible in front of them. Only then did they realize why this guy was acting so 'perverted'.

"Is there a possibility that instead of Dark Lucifer making this guy pervert to devour those rebel organizations, the pervert is actually this guy himself?"

Dagu looked at the bat Casto not far away and suddenly frowned, "So, do you think that guy doesn't intend to get rid of us, is he telling us something in this way?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the black figure began to move again, and this time, without any hesitation, everyone moved with him,

I don’t know how long I ran, but finally, near a cave, the juvenile bat Casto disappeared.

"Wait, do we want to go in directly?"

Xincheng, who was the fastest runner, suddenly froze when he looked at the cave, and the others also observed the surroundings. Suddenly, Horii, who studies a large number of animals, spoke,

"I always feel like this cave is a little weird, like a... bat cave?"

Just when everyone was stunned, suddenly the door of the Batcave was opened, and a familiar figure appeared in front of everyone, "Did you see it? It's not that I, Dark Lucifer, am a pervert. Before he came into contact with me, this guy himself was It’s no longer normal.”

No one expected to see Dark Lucifer here, but they soon realized that if Dark Lucifer and Castor were one, then there would be Dark Lucifer in Castor's consciousness. Consciousness is also normal, but the problem is
I don't know why, but when this guy said, "It's not me, Dark Lucifer is a pervert," everyone on the victory team saw a trace of grievance on his face?

At the same time, from the deepest part of the Gate of Hell, a low and strange voice belonging to Castor the Bat suddenly came, "I took those guys around in a circle in my conscious world, and then threw Dark Lucifer away." Once inside, if nothing else happens, he should be able to hold off the Victory team for a while.”

"Hmph! Can you hurry up? I don't care what you want to do. If you want to take that egg away, you have to do it as soon as possible! Can you stop being so grinding!" Masaki Keigo said impatiently.

"I also want to hurry up! But these seem to have their own consciousness." Hong Ka, as the only Casto who has not had his consciousness invaded by everyone on the victory team, has turned into a human form at some point and is standing in hell. At the deepest part of the door, looking at the 'egg' in front of him, he was speechless, "Digimon or Pokémon? Damn it, it can't be some dark handsome guy or a cool guy, right?"

Hong Ka was speechless. There must be some shadow of this egg in his memory, but when he put something like an 'egg' in front of him, he realized that it really didn't look like there was any big difference.
