Chapter 515: Hiruko Kagetane

Hearing Lingyun's words, everyone present felt a shock in their hearts, and then their gazes began to scan the surroundings rapidly.

"Yo-ho, I thought you wouldn't notice me until I spoke up! It seems there are still a few talents among this bunch of trash!" Just at this moment, a strange laugh suddenly rang out in the room, giving everyone a start.

Only then did people notice that a figure had appeared, who knows when, in the empty chair in the conference room. The two Civil Security Officer company representatives sitting next to that seat jumped up directly; they looked at the man sitting in the seat with horror, as they had no idea when this person had appeared in this place.

The man's build looked somewhat tall and thin, his hands and feet overly slender, giving a slight sense of disharmony. He wore a wine-red tailcoat with fine vertical stripes and a top hat; this attire looked like a gentleman prepared to attend a banquet. However, the clown-like mask he wore on his face pulled his aura in a bizarre direction by a wide margin. Most importantly, Lingyun felt a massive murderous intent from him; this was not something that appeared after slaying Gastrea, which meant this person had killed people, and more than one!

"There is one more; how long does our little guest intend to hide?" Lingyun spoke up again.

"Oh-ho, you even discovered her?" the masked man said in a strange tone. "Kohina, it seems you have been discovered too!"

An extremely fast figure appeared beside Hiruko Kagetane; it was a little girl. The young girl had wavy short hair and wore a navy blue dress. Behind her were two sheathed short swords.

"When..."

"Completely failed to notice these two people..."

The Civil Security Officers present all looked at these two in shock, and simultaneously drew their guns to aim at them. This place was the Ministry of Defense, which possessed strict security. The person before them obviously could not be someone who had been invited, yet he was appearing here openly and honestly, which already explained many things. Being able to infiltrate this place without a sound, and looking like he had come with ill intent, it was clear that neither of these two were ordinary people.

"Everyone, let me introduce myself. My surname is Hiruko, and my full name is Hiruko Kagetane!" Hiruko Kagetane bowed to those present. "This is my Initiator, and also my daughter, Kohina. Kohina, say hello to everyone!"

"Hello everyone, I am Hiruko Kohina, ten years old this year." Hiruko Kohina performed an elegant curtsy to those present, looking just like a little girl with a good upbringing.

"Hmm, this kind of crazy aura?" Lingyun, however, sensed the bloodthirsty aura hidden by Hiruko Kohina.

After finishing the curtsy, Hiruko Kohina reached out and pinched the hilt of the short sword behind her; a crazy, bloodthirsty aura swept through the entire conference room like a storm, and in an instant, she completed the transformation from a young noble lady to a female Asura from Hell.

Bloody words spilled from her mouth: "Nee, Daddy, with so many people pointing their guns at me, can I chop them all up?"

Hearing these words, everyone present became tense. This person was able to enter the Defense Ministry Building so easily; he was clearly not a simple person.

"Who are you, and how did you get in!" that official barked sternly.

"How did I get in? Naturally, I walked in fair and square." Hiruko Kagetane's voice carried a strange cadence. "Hmm, it seems I slaughtered a few little mice on the way; it appears infiltrating the Ministry of Defense is not such a difficult thing after all!"

Upon hearing this, the corners of Lingyun's mouth twitched involuntarily; this was another infiltrator who had put his skill points in the wrong place, a guy who believed that killing every witness was the definition of perfect stealth! Why were the assassins these days all heading down the path of a one-man army?

"You bastard..." the Ministry of Defense official gritted his teeth, his face full of anger. "Seize him for me!"

When he arrived, he had brought four fully armed special police officers, and now these four people were standing outside the door, ready to handle emergencies at any time. He had just given the order to those four special police officers.

"Thump, thump," sounds of people falling to the ground suddenly came from outside the door. The people present could not help but have their expressions change, and they looked toward the door in unison.

The four fully armed special police officers standing outside the door had all fallen to the ground, and a faint, bloody scent wafted from them.

"Sorry, they were already taken down by me!" Hiruko Kagetane let out a bizarre laugh.

"Damn it, fire!" One of the Civil Security Officers suddenly pulled the trigger in his hand, and a black bullet shot rapidly toward Hiruko Kagetane.

Taking this gunshot as the fuse, the others also pulled their triggers one after another. The only ones present who did not move were Lingyun and Satomi Rentaro.

Hundreds of bullets carrying sharp murderous intent shot rapidly toward Hiruko Kagetane, looking very much like they would tear him to shreds. But the next moment, a staggering scene appeared.

"Clang, clang, clang—" An invisible barrier seemed to appear around Hiruko Kagetane's body, blocking all these bullets.

"This, how is this possible? Is this guy even human?" one Civil Security Officer said with a look of astonishment.

"Please don't be so surprised; besides being a Civil Security Officer, I have another identity, you know!" Hiruko Kagetane said slowly. "I am one of the test subjects of the New Human Creation Project from the former Ground Self-Defense Force Eastern Army 787th Mechanized Special Unit—Hiruko Kagetane!"

"New Human Creation Project?" The Civil Security Officers present could not help but let out an exclamation; it was clear they also had some understanding of this New Human Creation Project.

Beside them, Satomi Rentaro's eyes fluctuated violently, as if he had thought of something.

"You, what exactly is your goal?" that official asked, his tone somewhat blustering.

"As a Civil Security Officer, my target is also that box!" Hiruko Kagetane said slowly. "However, I have appeared as your enemy!"

"Enemy?" The expressions of those present turned serious all at once.

Seitenshi on the screen stared fixedly at Hiruko Kagetane and Hiruko Kohina, not knowing what she was thinking.

"That's right, an enemy! For anyone who blocks my way, I will kill them without hesitation!" The malice radiating from Hiruko Kagetane enveloped the entire conference room.

"Seitenshi, if I am the one to obtain this box first, I will use it without hesitation, so you had better pray that the Civil Security Officers you hired can find it before me, or manage to snatch it from my hands!" Hiruko Kagetane stared at Seitenshi on the screen, a bizarre light swirling in his eyes.

Hearing Hiruko Kagetane's words, Seitenshi's expression turned ugly all at once.

"Then everyone, until we meet again!" Hiruko Kagetane suddenly activated the Repulsion Field on his body, and the bullets blocked by the Repulsion Field were all instantly reflected back.

Facing the incoming bullets, everyone present could not help but dodge. Hiruko Kagetane took this opportunity to carry Hiruko Kohina, smash through the glass, and jump out of the building, after which he instantly vanished from everyone's sight.
