The Fifth Watch, Black Mist Reappears!

Who are you?!

Souei forced himself to calm down with the rationality of a 'black' biochemist, and looked at Laskey with a stern face, while the two young researchers behind him were already trembling with fear.

Let's get to know each other.

"My name is Laskey, and I am a special investigator from the World Government. We have been keeping an eye on you for some time and would like to invite you to the Ashika Base."

Laskey stated his identity directly, but considering that explaining CIPHER POL would be troublesome, he simply came up with an easy-to-understand term.

And what about you?

"I"

Souei looked at him, completely bewildered, and wondered to himself, "What is World Government?"

"It's at Souei Wei's place!"

"Quick, quick, we can't let anything happen to the doctor!"

Just as he was about to say his name to buy time, a group of black-clad soldiers from another carriage came running over after hearing the commotion.

"Noisy!"

Laskey turned his head with a cold expression, and suddenly, he raised his right leg, which was clad in black trousers, and kicked it fiercely towards the carriage that was missing an iron door.

[Swish----]

The next moment, Souei and the other two were shocked to see a crescent-shaped blue light blade appear out of thin air, then fly out at an astonishing speed, cutting the dozen or so black-clad soldiers who were rushing over in half. Immediately, the sounds of flesh hitting the ground echoed one after another, and it also cut the iron door of the carriage behind them in two.

"Aaaaaaah!"

"My intestines----"

"No, I don't want to die!!"

Without glancing at the 'dead men' again, Laskey, wearing dark red sunglasses, turned to Souei, whose face was deathly pale, and smiled, "Dr. Souei Wei, please stay by my side from now on, so I can better protect your safety."

"You just created that wind pressure with just a kick?" Souei asked, his right hand touching his rapidly beating heart, suppressing his shock.

Laskey laughed, "Hey, you actually figured out some of the principles with just one glance? No wonder you're a scientist valued by the Biochemical Research Institute."

Is it true?

"But how is that possible? How strong would that level of wind pressure be? Are you also Kabaneri?" Souei truly found it unbelievable.

"No, that's not right. Even Kabaneri couldn't have done that. Are you a 'Nue'?!"

"Oh, I wonder what you mean by 'Nue'?" Laskey asked curiously, wondering if this world also Doriki Value approaching four or five hundred?

"Um"

Souei fell silent. Seeing this, Laskey didn't seem to mind and laughed, "In that case, get off the bus with me first. No, you should stay here; it's more chaotic outside."

Once outside, he'd definitely encounter more attacks from soldiers in black. He wasn't afraid, but who knew if a bullet might be unlucky enough to target the doctor?

The carriage is protected by armor on all four sides, making it easier to keep safe.

[Whoosh!]

Just then, a blur of motion entered the carriage with a whooshing sound, but Laskey made no move in response.

Instead, Souei and his two companions stared in disbelief as a sexy, beautiful blonde woman in a black dress suddenly appeared beside Laskey; all they could see on their retinas was a blurry black shadow.

"How's it going?"

Mata cut to the chase, replying, "Biba Amatori killed the steward and the Samurai Superintendent here, and just returned with Ayame Yomogawa."

"And now?"

"Now we've taken that Short-Haired Blonde Woman to the front of the train. As for Ayame Yomogawa, she's been detained. And I saw the Hunters slaughtering the Iwato Station soldiers who were trying to board the train and escape!"

"Mata, you keep an eye on Dr. Souei, oh, and these two researchers, but they're not important. If they make any trouble, kill them on sight," Laskey ordered coldly.

And what about you?

"I'll go and capture Biba Amatori, then wait for the other groups to arrive!" With that, Laskey turned and left, quickly disappearing into the carriage.

Neither he nor Mata noticed the expectation and mockery in Souei's eyes.

"Go ahead, Pegasus should be Awakening to Horobi. Although those two strange guys look strong, Nue's power is clearly more terrifying. It seems I'll soon have even more interesting test subjects!"

Laskey was moving very fast, but when he reached the front of the car, he realized that Biba Amatori's presence was not there.

Instead, a blue-clad Samurai was wielding a glowing longsword, nimbly dodging the Steam Gun fire while relentlessly slashing at the black-clad soldiers blocking Ayame Yomogawa and Yukina's path.

"Kurusu! Be careful!"

See here.

Realizing that Ayame Yomogawa was also one of the targets designated for surveillance by the base, Laskey instantly disappeared from the roof of the 'Kokujo' vehicle.

The next second, it suddenly appeared in front of Ayame Yomogawa.

"Shigan - Yellow Lotus!"

His appearance was so sudden that the surrounding Hunters had no time to react. Amidst the dense afterimages of Shigan, they were pierced through with bloody holes and collapsed to the ground screaming in agony.

"."

Ayame Yomogawa and Yukina, two girls who had just come of age, were completely terrified. Although both of them were brave, they were still ordinary people at heart.

In their perception, it was as if a black afterimage appeared in front of them in the blink of an eye, followed by blurry afterimages spreading in all directions, and then the soldiers died on the ground, spurting blood!

Only after the person collapsed completely in a pool of blood did the two people get a clear look at the figure in front of them. It was a very tall person, dressed in what appeared to be a Western-style suit, but what really caught their attention were the two sparkling blue diamond earrings on his ears.

"Go to the fourth carriage; you'll be protected there."

Hearing such a crisp and decisive instruction, Ayame Yomogawa nervously inquired, "Ah, um... may I ask who you are?"

"Lord Ayame!!"

At this moment, the blue-clad Samurai named Kurusu had already dealt with the black-clad soldiers beside him. He strode over, gripping a long sword covered with a layer of Kabane Heart Membrane, and stared warily at Laskey's face.

He certainly saw how Laskey instantly took down seven or eight soldiers. To be honest, he didn't see it clearly, but that's precisely why he concluded that the other party was a dangerous person.

And this dangerous person is standing right in front of Miss Ayame, whom he secretly loves!

"Your knife is good."

When Laskey saw the look in Kurusu's eyes—a look that suggested he was willing to die for the woman he loved—he roughly understood what was going on, and this made him somewhat admire the man.

Because they are the same kind of people.

"You're just too weak. If you want to protect your woman, you need to become stronger!" As Laskey walked over to Kurusu, he patted the latter's shoulder heavily.

In fact, Kurusu subconsciously wanted to dodge, but the former's hand was too fast, and before her body could react, she was pressed down by that palm.

This made him realize how vast the gap was between his strength and that of the man in black before him, but his shock was completely overwhelmed by the man's words.

"Ah!"

"No, what nonsense are you talking about!" Kurusu's face flushed red, her eyes darting around in confusion.

Ayame Yomogawa was also stunned for a moment, but after she came to her senses, she stared blankly at the young Samurai who had been protecting her all along.

"Roar!!!!!"

Suddenly, a roar like that of a wild beast drew everyone's attention, and Laskey's sharp eyes behind his Red Eye narrowed.

He saw a huge, dark monster roaring with its head raised in the direction of the city gate.

"Is that the 'Black Mist' Dr. Fritz was talking about?"
