Chapter 227

The subordinates who received the order also turned and ran.

Looking at his subordinates, Tadajima turned his gaze back to the three people beside Gastrea, but his gaze was more focused on Luo Mio.

"!"

Upon seeing Luo Mio's azure eyes and pure white braided hair, his pupils instantly contracted.

Then, she gently exhaled, calming her shocked heart, and walked towards Luo Mio, Rentaro, and Enju.

He said it was directed at his wife and children... "I'm so sorry for the past."

After walking over, I heard Enju say to Rentaro.

"Yeah."

Noticing Tadajima Rentaro around and glanced at the time.

Then he saluted Tadajima.

"On April 18, 2031, at 4:30 PM, 'Initiator' Aihara Enju and 'Facilitator' Satomi Rentaro, speaking on behalf of 'Facilitator' Toudo Touka, successfully eliminated the Gastrea."

Although it was just a formality, Tadajima, as the highest-ranking commander present, still saluted the three of them.

"Thank you for your hard work, officers."

Then Rentaro chuckled and lowered his hand, looking at Tadajima.

At this moment.

"Speaking of which, Rentaro."

Enju said to Rentaro, "We're going to be late, it's a limited-time special offer."

Upon hearing this, Rentaro panicked instantly and hurriedly checked the time.

"Not good...!"

Then he quickly ran to the other end of the street.

"Hey! Rentaro!"

Enju followed closely behind Rentaro.

Watching the two hurried figures disappear into the distance, Tadajima was speechless for a moment, unsure of what to say.

"Haa..."

A sigh came from beside him.

"Seriously, these two..." Luo Mio said helplessly.

Tadajima listened to Luo Mio's voice, his gaze also slightly turned to Luo Mio's profile.

Luo Mio Ling also looked at Tadajima and spoke.

"I'm sorry, Squad Leader Tadajima, you must have found this amusing."

Tadajima shook his head.

"No, it's nothing."

Looking at the enormous Gastrea behind him, Tadajima said.

"It... is it really dead?"

"Um."

Luo Mio nodded.

"That's right, he's completely dead, and completely unconscious."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, a bead of sweat quietly appeared on Tadajima's forehead.

"Oh, right."

Luo Mio also said to Tadajima, "Squad Leader Tadajima, here is our reward for eliminating the Gastrea."

After hearing what Luo Mio said, Tadajima realized what was going on and nodded.

"I understand. It will be delivered to your police company later."

"Then, I'll take my leave now."

"Good."

Then Tadajima watched Luo Mio's departing figure.

He muttered to himself.

"I never expected to run into a real person..."

"What real person?"

The voice of his subordinate came from beside him.

Tadajima glanced at his subordinates and looked in the direction where Luo Mio had left.

"You know about 'initiators' and 'facilitators,' right?"

"Um."

A two-person team working together as part of a civilian security agency.

"The Beginner"

As a carrier of the Gastrea virus, also known as the "Cursed Children," she is able to unleash the power of the Gastrea virus to her own Gastrea- like physical regeneration abilities, making her a key member of the duo.

"Facilitator"

As partners of the "Initiators," they assist the "Initiators" in battle, providing core support and acting as guardians. Most "Facilitators" are ordinary people, although some are skilled fighters, but their combat power is still inferior to that of the "Initiators."

The members of "The Promoters" are quite diverse, including belligerent combatants, delinquents, and criminals.

Most of them are bad elements and criminals.

——

Do you know?

Tadajima spoke to his subordinates, his gaze fixed on the direction where Luo Mio had left.

"Among the 'Facilitators' is one person, a very strange person..."

"A very strange person?"

"Right."

Tadajima recalled a document he had once seen by chance.

"There are many rumors surrounding this very strange person."

"And the most certain thing is that every battle that person fought was carried out by him alone; no one has ever seen the 'Initiator' by his side."

"Its immense power is comparable to that of the 'Initiators.'"

"Of course... some speculate that his 'Initiator' is of the remote support type."

"But this conjecture was later proven to be false."

"Furthermore, there is no information about him in the 'IP Ranking'."

"That..."

The subordinate looked at his team leader and said.

"Team leader, the person you were talking about... could it be the one who just left...?"

Tadajima nodded.

Recalling Luo Mio's pure and flawless white hair and blue eyes, she narrowed her eyes slightly.

And it also has...

Just like His Your Highness Holy Child... hair and eye color...

——

Luo Mio, who had long since walked away, naturally paid no attention to the gaze that Tadajima kept watching her back after she left.

I looked up at the azure sky.

"..."

She suddenly fell silent for a moment, then glanced slightly behind her with her azure eyes.

I glanced at it.

Never mind...

Luo Mio continued looking at the road ahead as she walked towards her private security company.

Chapter Two: A World Beyond Redemption

Walking down the street, Luo Mio yawned.

The azure eyes gazed at the surrounding streets, where pedestrians strolled along the cobblestone pavement, chatting and laughing.

Perhaps because it was morning, there weren't many children on the streets.

I slightly raised my head and saw a clear blue sky with a pleasant, gentle breeze blowing.

Luo Mio's gaze, however, was fixed on the enormous stone tablet standing in the distance.

"Megalith"

A massive, rectangular black wall, 1.618 kilometers high and about 1 kilometer wide, is arranged in neat rows at equal intervals, like an iron tower.

Although their presence seems so abrupt and out of place under the azure sky, their very existence inspires both awe and... a sense of security.

The group of megalithic monuments that surround this part of the Kanto Plain is a testament to the nature of this land...

This is the last sanctuary for the people who live and work in the "Tokyo Area".

——

Finally, Luo Mio arrived at her destination.

His azure eyes, like those of a dead fish, lifted slightly as he looked at the signboard hanging outside the building.

"Tendo Civil Security Company"

"..."

It is very inconspicuous.

With a soft sigh, Luo Mio also walked up.

Luo Mio arrived at the so-called president's office.

"Satomi, you big idiot!"

Before even stepping inside, Luo Mio heard a girl's delicate shout coming from outside the door.

"Why did you have to dodge?! It's infuriating!"

The sound of clenched teeth came from the room.

All I heard was...

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Satomi Rentaro's voice also came from there.

Then, the sounds of two people chasing each other and a girl's angry shouts could be heard from inside the room.

Luo Mio opened the door and leaned against it, watching the two people chasing each other inside the room.

Behind Rentaro was a beautiful girl who looked to be about sixteen years old.

The girl had long, straight, jet-black hair and a figure that didn't seem to suit her age. She wore a black long-sleeved school sailor uniform, and her mini-skirt swayed slightly with her movements. Her two slender legs were encased in black stockings, and her beautiful face had slightly sharp, narrow eyes that revealed an expression of dissatisfaction and resentment.

The girl was Rentaro, Enju, and his boss.

The president of "Tendo Civil Security Company".

Tendo Kisara.
