Chapter 376: Intermission, Chapter of Hunting
Hui Ren and Jack were arrested in Kyoto.

As a shugenja, Jack's lifestyle is to travel around the world.And Yu Sheng Hui Ren was accompanying him, so naturally she had no choice but to follow him.

Fortunately, it is said to be a wandering, but in fact it is not difficult.Yu Shenghui quickly adjusted her mentality and decided to treat it as a trip around the country.

Everywhere he goes, Hui Ren will go to the scenic spots like an ordinary traveler, searching for prey while sightseeing.Jack has lost interest in killing people. If there is no temple, he would rather stay in the hotel room and perform his "prayer".

That day, Keito ended his tour and hunting near the Kinkakuji Temple.

Satisfied in a double sense, he felt the pleasure that was the result of a full meal, exercise, and a shower, and returned to the hotel feeling comfortable.

The lobby of this well-known hotel is also a famous sight: the semi-open lobby has no doors or windows and is completely integrated with the large atrium of nearly [-] square meters, sharing nature and greenery.

Walking through the lobby in a happy mood, Hui Ren looked aimlessly at the scenery in the atrium - but his eyes were caught by a figure from behind.

A girl in a simple uniform, with her back to him, was sitting by the pool on the other side of the atrium, seemingly admiring the beautiful scenery in the courtyard.

It's just a back view, but it shows a quiet and beautiful temperament like a lady.

In an instant, Hui Ren had an unprecedented impulse.

—kill her!

The severe vomiting feeling and the desire to kill increased.Hui Ren was dizzy and walked to a nearby sofa to sit down. After breathing for a while, she controlled herself and was able to continue thinking.

Normally, it would be best for him to return to the guest room before activating his ability.Anyway, his ability can reach here from the guest room hundreds of meters away.

If the girl dies here, everyone in the atrium, regardless of whether they are related or not, will probably be investigated.

Besides, Jack was waiting for him in the guest room, so it was always safest to activate his abilities under Jack's protection.

But he felt that he couldn't wait any longer. He was afraid that during the time he returned to the guest room... the girl would leave.

Keito Yusei leaned back on the sofa, pretending to close her eyes in deep thought, and couldn't wait to activate her ability——

Then, Yu Shenghui was stunned.

Within one kilometer of his domain, there was only one bright spot.

...there is only one highlight representing the occupyable object.

There was only one bright spot corresponding to the beautiful back view in front of him that made him sick.Although, it was a brilliance he had never seen before.

But why only one bright spot?
This means that within one kilometer of his coverage, there is only one woman?
But this is in a hotel in a tourist area! !When he checked in yesterday, he saw more than one female guest!And the waiters!Are these people missing at this moment? ?How can this be!

Yu Sheng Hui Ren calmed down as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her.

It was obvious: there was no doubt that he was being targeted by someone.An arrest was approaching him silently.

Although I don't know who the other party is, the other party obviously has the ability to target Hui Ren, so it sets up a "fire break zone" with a radius of about one kilometer around it.

These people did study him.The women he had killed in the past had all been deliberately kept within one kilometer.

However, no one actually knows that his maximum jump range is three times farther than this distance.

Hui Ren looked at his ruling domain - outside the empty circle with a radius of one kilometer, there were countless light spots representing women, allowing him to pick them.

He felt relieved and thought...it was just a half-baked trap.

Then, driven by desire, he naturally moved his "eyesight" and looked at the only bright bright spot in the empty circle.

What about this girl?What happened to her?

...This shouldn't be a trap, right?Hui Ren thought.Because compared with the surrounding "fire breaks", adding another trap seems unnecessary.

Is that an accident?
——No, before thinking about this, the first and most important thing is to take action and join Jack first.

Without hesitation, Yu Shenghui turned off his ability and returned to his body.Then he stood up, calmly on the surface, but fully on guard in his heart, and left the lobby, walked through the atrium, and entered the four-story guest room building opposite.

Returning to the fourth floor, he opened the door to the room, only to see Jack, who was doing handstand push-ups, raise his head and look at him.

"I don't know who it is, but in short, we are being targeted." Yu Shenghuito closed the door and said briefly.

Jack nodded and continued to stand on his head, waiting for him to continue speaking.

Hui Ren walked to the window first and opened the curtains a small gap - in the atrium downstairs, the figure of the girl was still sitting there.

He still wasn't sure if the girl was part of the trap.

But at this time, the girl made a move.

She answered a phone call, stood up after a moment, and walked slowly towards the distance.

The bright spots in the ruling domain began to move outside the range.

...Hui Ren looked at this scene and breathed a sigh of relief.

He felt he figured it out.

——The existence of this girl is an accident.The establishment of a perimeter, or firebreak, of course requires the exclusion of all women.But the girl in front of him was a "flaw" that was missed by the planners of the encirclement for some reason.And looking at the current situation, it is obvious that this phone call is the remedy for the planners of the encirclement.

no no.

Yu Shenghui Ren thought again: rather than saying it was the other party's "mistakes", it would be better to say it was his own "good luck".

Just a few minutes.

The siege network of the unknown enemy was actually almost completed. Perhaps it was because of concerns about this girl that they did not launch a general attack immediately.

And if it weren't for Hui Ren's sudden interest in this girl and his immediate opening of the Dominion Domain... He must have not noticed anything strange around him or this net until now.

"Let's leave now." He made a decision.

Jack nodded, stretched his arms, somersaulted in the air, landed on his feet, and looked at him waiting for his further instructions.

After making the decision, Yu Shenghui Ren also felt relaxed.

He continued to look at the beautiful back of the girl as she slowly left... and his uncontrollable desire also rose.Although the bright light began to move, it was still within the coverage of his ability, and was still far, far away from the boundary.

Except for the girl, the siege was actually complete.So even if he said "leave", it would not be easy to leave... But at this time, the encirclement happened to reveal the "flaw" in front of him.

It was this girl in front of me.

Regardless of whether the unknown party is a policeman or someone else, he should be concerned about the lives of civilians.The delayed attack seemed to be waiting for the girl to walk out of the one kilometer "fire break zone".

So in other words, the other party's attention is probably involuntarily focused on the girl now.

Hui Ren quickly came up with an idea from the bottom of his heart - if at this moment, he jumped over there and controlled the girl's body...

To satisfy his urges.

To demonstrate against an unknown enemy.

Moreover, it can also attract the attention of the encirclement, allowing Jack to take the opportunity to break out.

Killing three birds with one stone is simply wonderful, so wonderful.

——Yu Shenghui came up with the idea of ​​being intoxicated—he wants to jump over now, and let that girl die in the most miserable way in front of everyone.

He left the window decisively, went back to the bed and lay down. While closing his eyes, he ordered Jack: "I'll go and cause some trouble for them first and draw their attention. You take good care of my body and take care of me when you see the opportunity." Walk."

The next moment he felt Jack's strong arms hugging his body, Hui Ren had already jumped towards the body of the girl downstairs.

The next moment, when he opened his eyelids, the scenery in the courtyard was already reflected in his gradually emerging field of vision——

--"boom".

A huge explosion came with violent vibrations.

Yu Shenghui was pushed by the air wave and staggered, then instinctively looked back, but almost stopped breathing in an instant - an ugly black hole had been blown out of the guest room building not far away, and thick smoke was pouring out. Smoke and raging fire... And the starting point and core of the black smoke and flame area, the center point of the explosion - that was his and Jack's room! !
The next moment, he was even more horrified to find that in his domain of dominance, the highlight of his original male body, which represented the origin, had disappeared.

Along with the sound of burning, fire alarms rang loudly throughout the hotel.

But no matter whether it was in the courtyard or the guest room in the distance, there was no scream or chaos.

Accompanied by dense but orderly footsteps, armed men in black combat uniforms poured out from nowhere and surrounded Hui Ren in the blink of an eye.

However, Yu Shenghui just continued to stand there numbly, looking up and staring at the room with black smoke in the distance, and her mind was filled with only one thought.

Can not go back--

Then, at this moment, Hui Ren Yu Sheng suddenly heard a call: "Hui Ren Yu Sheng——"

A nice girly voice.

Calm, plain, and unemotional, it is not a call to relatives and friends; it is just like a roll call to confirm identity.

Hui Ren suddenly woke up, and countless thoughts flashed through him like lightning.

——Who is confirming his identity?from where?
--earphone?No, the body wasn't wearing headphones at all! !
——No, this voice came directly from my head!
——Damn, this is really a trap! !

——His body is gone! !will die--

Looking at the star-like choices "one kilometer" away on the star map of the ruling domain, Yu Shenghui Ren suddenly woke up.

Under the extreme pressure of death, he became excited.

When the body is gone, it is gone!
Anyway, they have been targeted and analyzed to this extent. The original body is just a burden.

Anyway, now that my body is gone, I am completely free from restraint!
From now on, as long as he keeps using any woman as a springboard, no one will be able to track him down! !

Then now-

One kilometer away, countless stars were waiting for him, and he only had one thought——

But at this moment, the voice sounded in my head again.

——It was a suppressed groan of pain.

Yu Sheng Hui Ren's thinking was interrupted momentarily.

Because he was extremely familiar with the owner of that moaning voice.That is--

——"Jack." The girl's voice sounded again.The girl who just called Keito's name once again called out another name with a calm emotion.

Yu Shenghui was completely stunned.

All he could think about was Jack's painful moan just now.He stopped thinking involuntarily, stopped the movements of his soul, and just waited with bated breath for the next words to come.

The girl's voice, which had a cold tone but was mixed with strange charm, rang again after a moment: "Yes, you heard this voice, right? Yes, you can definitely recognize it, that's Jack."

Using an unknown method, she continued to speak directly into the mind of this body, and she said slowly: "Your Jack, Jack is writhing in pain...but, he is still alive."

"——It's a bomb. I prepared a bomb for you." The girl sounded a little happy, "So your body was completely carbonized in an instant."

"...and Banhuan is, after all, the ruler of the realm of flesh and blood. So even under such an explosion, there is still a breath left." Finally, she changed the subject, "However, if not within a few minutes, If he had received treatment, this would have been his last breath."

Finally, the owner of the voice was so calm that he issued an ultimatum: "So, Keito Yugao, I'll give you half a minute to consider whether to surrender."

"You surrender, and I will save him."

Then she started playing Jack's pained sounds again.

Upon hearing this voice, Hui Ren's mind, which had almost calmed down, began to beat wildly again.He forced himself to calm down and think - no, he couldn't let the other party lead him.The other party must have some weakness, there must be... maybe we can try to talk first to delay the time...

But the other party seemed to have guessed him and said directly: "Ah, that's right. I don't accept negotiations. Because what you hear now is just a recording."

--"recording"?Hui Ren didn't expect it and was stunned.

"Because at this time, the one you are controlling as a bait is my own body." And the girl's voice - no, to be precise, it was the girl's recording, continued, showing the recorder at that time He said indifferently and coldly, "I have no intention of hearing any barking, and no intention of engaging in any bargaining."

"I'm just here to tell you some very simple facts -"

"If you escape, he will die."

"If you don't surrender when the time comes, he will die."

"If you do anything else irrational, he will die."

She spoke short sentences forcefully, one sentence at a time: "...Only if you surrender can he survive. It's that simple."

"Understood, think quickly and come to a conclusion."

"If you decide to surrender, just say the word surrender. You can hear it here."

"——Half a minute, let's start."

The girl's voice ended cleanly.

But the sound in Hui Ren's ears did not disappear. Instead, it continued to play Jack's breathing which was rapid at first and then became thinner and thinner.

Hui Ren's mind went blank.

There are too many questions, too much information, too many ideas, too many decisions.In a very short period of time, thinking finally burned out and turned into a solid blank.

In the void of his thoughts, he stared at the countless galaxies one kilometer away in the domain in front of him. Listening to Jack's increasingly painful breathing in his ears, the emotions in his heart rose, fell, and rose...

Soon, in the sound of Jack's breathing, the countdown of the mechanical synthesized sound sent by the other party sounded.

"10--"

"9--"

...The dazzling white color in Hui Ren's mind that made him unable to think gradually turned into deep red along with the countdown.

"5—4—"

Finally, a sense of destruction suddenly boiled out from under the deep red.

--escape! ! !

Hui Ren finally had an idea.

The sense of destruction finally exploded into fear and impulse.

--who cares!Kill this woman and run away! ! ! !
Driven by the sense of destruction, Keito Yuyu instinctively raised the ballpoint pen and pointed it at "his" carotid artery——

But the next moment, just before he was about to poke it, Keito Yuyu's movements suddenly stopped there.

After just a few seconds, Yu Shenghui's expression lost its confusion, her eyes regained their vitality, and she murmured two words: "No...Jack."

After a pause, he said in a clear voice: "I surrender."

……

So Jack was saved, and Huito Yuyu obtained the clone body that the other party had prepared long ago.

Then the two were kept in a "warehouse" in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, and they were not brought out by Arthur until this time.

After finishing the memories and narration, Huiren finally shook his head, and gave his evaluation of the unknown commander to Arthur in front of him: "That's a lunatic."

After losing his freedom, he will naturally have repeated thoughts about the entire process of this battle.But the more he recalled it, the faster his unwillingness and resentment dissipated.

All that's left is fear.

Once he had a chance to think calmly, Hui Ren naturally easily figured out the logic behind everything that happened at that time.

The group has locked Huiren through the victim's clue network very early, and has roughly guessed his ability form. At the same time, it also realizes that he is disguising the radius of his ability, and its range must be more than one kilometer.

But then, the group was unable to take action against him because it was unable to determine "what the radius of its capabilities is".

Because Hui Ren's ability is not difficult to kill but extremely difficult to capture alive, the consequence of a failed capture may be that he completely loses his lock on Hui Ren.Next time I find Keito, I can only pray that he kills more people.

But this time, the commander adopted a different idea - if he couldn't be restrained, let him restrain himself.

Therefore, she pretended to be ignorant and arranged a "one kilometer" fire break, and deliberately "missed" a "super high-quality bait" that he could not help but swallow in the fire break, and "accidentally" let him discover it. Fire breaks.At this point, Keito was finally lured to jump on the bait.

As he jumped over, the bomb was activated, destroying his body and killing Jack.At this point, the remaining work is completed.

...Everything is just to create a scene where Hui Ren "limits himself".

He was forced to think for a relatively long time.

Under the hidden premise of "self-limitation", the more he thinks about it, the fewer choices he actually has.

Just like that, in the end, when the other party took no measures to prevent him from leaving, Hui Ren surrendered.

The commander's calculation in this matter was really terrifying to Hui.

However, there was still one thing that he couldn't figure out.

Now that he had told Arthur everything about it, Hui Ren simply mentioned it to Arthur: "What I don't understand the most is, as a commander, why is there any need to personally serve as a bait?"

On that battlefield, after he surrendered and moved to the container prepared by the group, he saw the true face of the young commander.It was precisely because of this that he was surprised to discover that the girl commander was really not bluffing - in those few minutes, the person he could kill at any time was really her!
"That bait is actually very dangerous." Hui Ren looked at Arthur, put his finger against his temple, and showed an incomprehensible expression: "At that time, it was almost...it was really just a little bit close, so I inserted the pen into it. It’s gone in my head.”

"Why do you do this kind of thing? You can't just be confident in your own plan, right?" So confident that in the recording, he only threatened him not to escape, but didn't mention anything like "don't hurt the hostages"?
But Arthur thought about it and gave the answer: "Because, that is one of her 'graduation tests'."

"Graduation test...?"

"Based on her test scores, the 'higher-ups' will give her points and decide her final position - and in this department, killing you two will only get you 50 points, and capturing you alive will get you 75 points. It has nothing to do with it." If civilians are injured, they will get 90 points, and if no operatives of any group are injured, they will get 100 points."

"However, it is obvious that that guy has never considered options other than perfect scores."

Finally, Arthur shrugged: "That's the kind of person Zulu Kui is."

Hui Ren thought for a moment, nodded, and then shook his head.

The reason for nodding is because if you follow what Arthur said, at least the other party can understand it from the perspective of "interests" and is not a simple lunatic.

And he shook his head because... no, no, even if there are profit reasons, he is still crazy to do this.

Then he chewed Arthur's words again and suddenly froze.

"Wait a minute, you just said 'Aoi Oro' -" and then he exclaimed, "So, the group commander who sent me and Jack to the asylum was Aoi Oro?"

Arthur replied with a relaxed expression: "Hey, you finally found it?"

"Ah, no - but why don't I remember?" Hui Ren was confused.

He found that he really couldn't remember the appearance and voice of the young commander - but in that short and intense psychological battle, he had obviously listened to her words for so long!And after surrendering, he clearly saw her appearance!
He should obviously remember it!

But, why did Keito not recognize Oruru Aoi at all when he saw her again?

Arthur watched Hui Ren racking his brains from the side, and explained calmly: "In order to protect the operation commander and personnel, the group usually performs some memory operations on those in power who are violently contained like you. ...Well, but I think it’s okay to tell you this now.”

"……brainwashing?"

"Correct."

"..."

Arthur felt no guilt, was open and honest, and looked at Hui Ren with clear eyes.

In the end, Hui Ren had no choice but to accept the reality as a prisoner and continue his original thinking.

“So, that’s it—it’s Oroku Aoi…”

In the ridiculous mood, Hui Ren could not help but wipe his face.

After a moment, he calmed down.Actually...well, indeed, there can't be two such terrible and similar people in the world.

"No wonder I-" he muttered.

So scary——

Suddenly, a thought, an image.He slipped out from the gap of Hui Ren's thinking.

That was the time during that capture, when he finally lost his rationality at the last moment of choice and decided to kill Oro Aoi first and then escape no matter what.

The moment before he stabbed his temple with the ballpoint pen, he seemed...suddenly startled, had a flash of thought, and "saw" a picture.

Under the deep purple starry sky.

Facing each other, there are two "seats" erected.

One was an ordinary "bed" made of gorgeous jade, with a noble young woman with a lazy temperament lying on it.

The other one... didn't even look like furniture, just a pile of electronic and mechanical junk forming a "base" filled with various screens.Buried in the center of the base is a girl whose whole body is connected to machinery through conduits, and who even wears goggles on her face.

Hugo Keito stared at the two "people", and their figures were deeply imprinted in the center of his field of vision. At the same time, he suddenly felt that in the background behind the two "people", there seemed to be an outline of something bigger and more incomprehensible than a whale wandering around. Then, at the same time, there was a trivial and incomprehensible whisper.

The next moment, they all seemed to be aware of the gaze from Hui Ren, the "spectator".

The noble young woman opened her eyes, turned her head and nodded slightly towards Hui Ren with a smile of approval.

The mechanical girl made no movement.But the countless screens on her seat simultaneously displayed a picture of his eyeballs staring at him at the same moment - it was obviously a two-dimensional picture, but it produced countless realistic and three-dimensional lines of sight in an instant.

——"Spiritual Vision".

For a moment, Yu Shenghui Ren's soul let out a painful cry, and it instinctively contracted and closed like a nerve that had received an electric shock.

……

The next moment, the blank space left by the thunder and lightning was filled in by consciousness again.

But Yu Sheng Hui Ren has forgotten something.

He forgot what he had just noticed and what he wanted to do.

--again.

After calming down his trembling mind for some reason, he instinctively refused to continue to recall. He just quickly searched his mind and chose to focus all his attention on the previous thought - "So that's it, it turns out that Oroku Aoi is that person. No wonder ——”

Then, he suddenly understood and felt the pleasure of enlightenment.

No wonder he always feels involuntary fear and pressure when facing Zulu Kui.

Although reason failed to recognize "her", instinct was already shouting: that was "she", the young big shot of the group who set up a trap half a year ago and successfully killed Hui Ren and Jack in one fell swoop.

——In the flesh and blood purgatory in Cleveland, the reborn beast met the hunter who hunted him once again.
