Mei, the Herrscher of Thunder

Chapter 9 Chapter 8 The Cursed Child

With the passage of time, the huge stone monuments that were originally relatively small from a distance are now becoming larger, and the surrounding houses have gradually changed from tall and tidy to short and damaged, and even the backsides are completely full of cracks. "dangerous building".

In Mei’s eyes, the formerly thriving and blossoming Tokyo area has disappeared, replaced by ruins of broken buildings.

Is this considered Tokyo?One of the busiest areas in all of Japan?

"This is the outskirts of Tokyo, the abandoned area destroyed by the first Kanto battle ten years ago, and the place where the 'children' live..." Seemingly seeing Mei's doubts, Sheng Tianzi beside him gently explained.

"Outer area?" Mei blinked, she seemed to hear a trace of remorse from the words of the Holy Son of Heaven.

At the same time, she was a little concerned about the "children" that the Son of Heaven said.

But at this time...

"Lord Shengtianzi! That police car has stopped! It's just..." Inside the car, the guards driving began to slow down, while looking at the Tiantong Kikunojo with his eyes closed in the rearview mirror, hesitant to speak. .

"Just what?" Sheng Tianzi didn't seem to notice this, and asked directly.

After looking at Tiantong Kikunojo again, the driver stopped the car slowly, "It's just... if I read correctly, the adopted son of the assistant officer of Tiantong seems to be chasing that car as well."

"You mean Rentaro?" Tendo Kikunojo slowly opened his eyes, his expression still not very good-looking.

"Yes, yes!" The guard nodded quickly.

"Bang!"

But Mei didn't care about this, when the car stopped, she opened the car door and walked down with Murasame.

Looking at the signal car parked next to the signal tower, and glancing at the strange boy who was sneaking up behind, Mei slowly closed her eyes, and small electric currents appeared on her forehead.

This is one of the ways she uses the power of lightning she has mastered - biological magnetic field induction!

Everyone's body contains tiny bioelectricity, such as brain electricity, heart electricity, action potential, etc.; and according to the characteristics of the current, even the smallest current will radiate outward at the moment it is generated. Invisible special substance...

That is the magnetic field.

Electricity and magnetism have been inseparable since the birth of the world, even if their properties are somewhat different from each other.

As the Herrscher of Thunder, he can theoretically control the existence of all electromagnetic fields. Mei can use the magnetic field emanating from the living body to identify or find a certain individual, and may be able to intervene and control it in the future...

Therefore, what she has to do at this time is to determine the number of people and the exact location of the target by sensing the different magnetic fields emitted by the creatures.

"Three people in total? Two weak and one stronger. Why would the 'spirit world' react to them? If I didn't happen to be involved in a certain event?" After sensing the feedback, Mei felt puzzled.

"Bang!" At this moment, a gunshot sounded.

In an instant, in Mei's perception, the magnetic field emitted by the biological individual with a strong magnetic field suddenly changed dramatically, and an inexplicable palpitation caused her to open her eyes.

She had a hunch that if she didn't act again, she might miss a major event!

"His Royal Highness, let me check the situation!"

After finishing speaking, Mei didn't hesitate anymore, "cracking" lightning flashed all over her body, and under the shocked gaze of the people in the car, she turned into a blue streamer and disappeared in place in an instant.

"Mei..." Sheng Tianzi was about to say something, but the sound of an explosion in the distance made her swallow the words stuck in her throat.

At this time, by activating the Houkai energy in his body, Mei covered himself with the power of the Herrscher, and arrived at the destination at nearly thirty times the speed of sound (the minimum speed of lightning, 10 kilometers per second).

In fact, before Sheng Tianzi and the others heard the explosion, Mei had already entered the communication tower.

If she hadn't contracted her strength to the extreme and used Herrscher's monster-like physical fitness to block the subsequent impact of supersonic speed, this signal tower might have been turned into ruins.

But even so, the wall that Mei hit when she came came was also shattered at this moment, the whole building was shaking because of it, and the dust and glass shards raised were even more numerous.

Sunlight shines through the gap, silently falling on the building that has been abandoned for many years.

At this moment, the black-haired girl descending powerfully like a god, her exquisite figure in the setting sun, her stunning face... All these make the dull three people in front of them feel dreamy.

However, when the girl walked towards them, the fear of the unknown awakened the minds of the two policemen.

"You... who are you!? Don't come here! If you come here again, we'll shoot you!" the bespectacled patrolman shouted tremblingly, holding a police pistol.

The other thin patrolman was even more unbearable. The gun in his hand fell to the ground in fright, and he kept backing away.

Glancing at them, Mei walked towards the last figure present with a blank face.

It was a girl whose height was about the same as that of Hiruko Hinay whom I had seen before, about ten years old, and the decoration of a white tight top and a belted denim skirt was full of dust and stains, and the faintly visible traces of sewing also showed Mei said——

She is just a pauper.

However, compared to her identity, the most important thing now is...

At this moment, the little girl was lying on her back on the uneven and dusty concrete floor, the hideous bullet hole on her forehead was so conspicuous, and the scarlet blood was slowly flowing on that dirt-covered cheek. I don't understand what happened to me.

In a remote and uninhabited place, two police officers shot dead a ten-year-old girl privately...

Seeing this, Mei's left hand that was holding Murasame tightened subconsciously, and the expression on her face was so calm that it was almost dead silent.

If the partners from the night raid from the previous world were here, they would definitely understand how dangerous Mei is at this time.

This is the prelude to murder!

As she moved closer, Mei saw the little girl's wine-red eyes, and there was a flash of understanding in her eyes.

cursed child.

Ten years ago, in 2021 A.D., Japan in this world lost to a highly contagious and terrifying creature that could rewrite the DNA of living things—the gastrulation.

That war was called the "First Kanto Battle". Japan was defeated and lost most of its population and land, and was forced to retreat to the five regions of Tokyo, Osaka, Sendai, Hakata and Hokkaido.

Since then, there seems to be a special substance in the air-the original enterovirus.

Although its concentration is too low, it will not cause obvious harm to the human body, but if the pregnant woman stays in this environment for a long time, the original enterovirus in the air will be ingested by her and accumulate in the fetus through mother-to-child transmission .

Therefore, when fetuses with gastroenteroviruses accumulated in their bodies are born, they will have the same pair of red eyes as gastrulation animals, and their physical fitness is very different from that of normal fetuses, and their physical fitness will even surpass that of normal fetuses at a few years old. adult.

In this world, these children whose age is no more than eleven or twelve years old are regarded as unknown existences, suppressed and excluded by all walks of life, have no basic human rights, and are even regarded as "humanoid gastroenterologists" and suffer Inexplicable hatred.

In the past ten years, some mothers will even give birth by the river. If they see their child has a pair of red eyes, they will throw it into the river and drown without mercy...

This is an extremely dark world.

And for some reason, all the red-eyed children born are women, it seems that the original enterovirus can only accept women as hosts, which reminds Mei of her original "collapsed world".

……

Closer to home.

When she saw Mei approaching her, the red eyes of the black-haired girl actually moved!

She is not dead yet!

As the sons of the curse, they not only have superhuman speed and strength, but also have the powerful recovery ability of gastritis. The lead bullets fired by the police pistols can't even penetrate their extremely hard skulls!

Therefore, she actually saw the moment when Mei arrived just now, and as the powerful self-healing ability began to take effect, the little girl's hazy consciousness quickly became clear.

"You...are you a god?" Looking at Mei, the little girl squirmed her lips, and slowly spit out these words.

Hearing her weak words, Mei shook her head slowly, and asked gently, "Why didn't you resist just now? With your strength, they can't catch you at all."

Yes, every son of the curse is a "superman" in the eyes of ordinary people.Not to mention two ordinary patrolmen, even if the number is doubled, it is impossible to pose a threat to them.

Even the little girl in front of her is very weak due to long-term malnutrition.

In Mei's previous perception, the strength of the magnetic field emanating from the little girl's body was clearly much stronger than the combined strength of the two patrolmen next to her.

"No..." The little girl shook her head slowly, with a warm smile on her face, "My sister is still in the peripheral area...I, I can't drag her down...If you attack adults, everyone will be in trouble...I can't do this Do."

"So that's how it is." Mei instantly understood.

Although they are children of the curse and have extraordinary power, they are still homeless children who long for warmth in essence.

Just like ordinary children, in their eyes, adults are aloof and irresistible. Otherwise, once public panic is caused, their only shelter - the abandoned outlying area will be banned.

But those grown-ups didn't feel pity for them because of this. Instead, they became confident, wantonly bullying and beating and scolding these little girls who were abandoned by their parents since they were young.

The powerful self-healing ability of the Cursed Son made them feel excited in this situation. After all, in this way, they don't have to worry about accidentally killing them if they don't pay attention.

Family members and friends were killed in the war against gastrula. Those "predatory generations" did not dare to go outside the city to kill gastula. Instead, they vented their anger and hatred on these innocent children, thinking that this was a substitute Relatives and friends take revenge...

"Amateur in foreign wars, expert in civil wars", the inferiority of human beings.

The hateful thing is that they have never even regarded the sons of the curse as living "people". Even if they have human appearance and human feelings, they can cry and laugh...

Thinking of this, Mei stared at the two patrolmen who retreated quietly with cold eyes.

"May I ask what mistake she made? She deserves to be shot by you privately?"

"She...she, a red ghost, dared to rob in the street! She even injured one of our colleagues! Who would be shot if she wasn't shot!?" The fat patrolman wearing glasses said confidently as if the gun in his hand gave him a sense of security. .

"Ahem!" At this moment, the little black-haired girl coughed up a mouthful of blood, and retorted weakly: "I just took a few fruits and a piece of clothing...my sister is very hungry and has nothing to eat...that adult is his I ran into it myself, I just wanted to escape..."

After listening to her words, Mei looked at the two patrolmen again, with a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Has the law in the Tokyo area been so strict? To be shot for grabbing a few fruits? Or... is this just a 'law' set by the two of you privately?"

Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from Mei's body, the fat patrolman wearing glasses trembled all over.

Then, he suddenly raised his gun and aimed at the dying black-haired girl lying on the ground.

"Damn red-eyed brat! What right do you have to speak! Go to hell!"

However, at the next moment, his right hand holding the gun was cut off by the sudden appearance of Lei.

To deal with him, Mei didn't even bother to get out of the sheath, because she felt it was worthless.

"Ah... ah! My hand! My hand—!" The fat man knelt on the ground and howled, the blood sprayed from the broken arm splashed on the plaster-covered wall, making the surrounding darkness The environment is extremely scary.

And at this moment, Mei suddenly turned her head and looked at the entrance of this floor.

There, a boy named Rentaro Satomi was staring blankly at the scene in front of him.

This is Mei's first meeting with the protagonist of this world.

Chapter 10 Chapter 9 Kill the scum patrol!

Time goes back to before.

While Mei was still in the car listening to Sheng Tianzi explaining the knowledge of the outer area, in front of the road where their car was driving, a black-haired boy riding a dark blue electric car was also chasing the car that was driving forward. patrol car.

"I hope there is nothing wrong..." He stared at the patrol car that was driving at a moderate speed, secretly anxious in his heart.

Satomi Rentaro, this is his name.

I am 16 years old this year, and I am studying at the relatively well-known Kouta Public University in Tokyo... a second-year high school student, the adopted son of Tendo Kikunojo, is a policeman with one year of combat experience, and his IP rank is 123452 (12) bit.

He was dressed in a black Goutian high school men's uniform, with a white stand-up collar shirt and a dark blue tie. His short black hair was messed up by the wind at this time; But has extraordinary perseverance.

This time, he was entrusted by his initiator, and at the same time, in order to carry out the "justice" in his heart, he went to rescue the poor girl who was caught in the police car by two policemen—that is, the "bad girl" who was discriminated against in Tokyo. Cursed Child" one of them.

After a series of twists and turns, in his sight, the patrol car finally stopped next to an abandoned signal tower.

"What are they doing here?"

After frowning, Rentaro stopped the electric car nearby, and then sneaked up on it.

The relationship between the police and the policemen like me is not good. If the two patrolmen find out that they are following them, I am afraid this matter will become very troublesome...

With this in mind, Rentaro would stop and observe carefully every time he traveled a certain distance.

"Bang!" Suddenly, a gunshot spread throughout the abandoned area nearby.

But before he could recover...

"Boom—crash!" followed by an explosion-like sound.The abandoned signal tower with exposed steel bars in front of Rentaro shook suddenly, and the rotten glass on the windows that had been in disrepair instantly shattered, and a large amount of lime also spilled down.

"You... who are you!? Don't come over! If you come over again, we'll shoot you!" At this moment, a panicked voice came from the building, making Rentaro's eyes wide open.

This is the voice of one of the patrolmen!When he and another policeman captured the girl before, Rentaro had spoken to the other party!

"Did she resist? Attacking the police is a serious crime! What's more, her identity is already sensitive..."

Thinking of this, he didn't bother to hide his whereabouts, and ran to the signal tower like crazy.

"Ah! My hand..." Before he got close, the miserable cry of the patrolman made his heart sink even more.

It seems that she really resisted... Hurry up and stop her!

Thinking of this, he rushed into the building at full speed.

And as soon as he entered the dimly lit signal tower, even if his ordinary right eye was temporarily blinded because he couldn't get used to the sudden darkness, the special prosthetic eye on Rentaro's left would inevitably freeze for a moment after seeing what was going on inside. .
