The doctor who rushed over after receiving the news interrupted Takagi Wataru's thinking about the philosophical question of whether a person lives or dies.

"They're not seriously ill," the doctor said, putting away his stethoscope. "If you're concerned, you can stay in the hospital for a few hours to observe."

"Okay, thank you."

After confirming that all the symptoms were caused by the decrease in Honkai Value, Hasegawa Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said to the man in the white coat, "I'm sorry, doctor. I was a little hasty when I asked you that question earlier."

"It's okay. Most of the patients' families would have this kind of reaction out of anxiety and concern." The doctor looked at him in surprise. He didn't expect that someone would apologize for such a small matter.

Sometimes people who cause trouble at hospitals won’t even apologize.

The doctor, feeling a bit better, looked at the handsome young man, whose eyes were still slightly red, then at the two police officers sitting on the bed, lost in thought. He paused and jokingly said, "It's a good thing you didn't cry. Otherwise, the nurses at the nurses' station would have questioned my medical skills too."

He raised his hand to arrange the blue-black ink pens in the pocket of his white coat.

On the hospital logo outside the pocket, a crow simply outlined with black lines stands there vividly.

"I've already told the nurses at the station. If the officers have cases to attend to, they can just leave first. There's no need to check out."

After saying this, the doctor hurriedly left the ward.

[No abnormalities have been found in the hospital so far.]

Noah's Ark, who had taken over all surveillance at the hospital, echoed the doctor's words, "Just in case, I also agree to let the officers go first."

The ambulance Hasegawa Yu initially called for wasn't from the Karasuma Group. The police hospital was quite a distance from the scene, and he was worried about delaying Kutakagi Wataru and causing him to get hurt, so he sent the ambulance to the nearest hospital first.

As a result, the ambulance driver took them to the hospital under the Karasuma Group.

The orange-haired young man lowered his head, looking a little depressed. "Well, thankfully Officer Takagi wasn't actually injured."

Without waiting for the AI to comfort him, he pulled himself together. "Officer Megure, Officer Takagi, are you able to walk?"

Hearing this, the two police officers looked at each other.

Through the questions asked by Takagi Wataru, Megure Jusan has guessed that the other party has recovered his original memory just like him.

The development of this world is very strange.

The old police officer who has lived a materialistic life for decades said he needed to slow down.

"Brother Takagi, let's be discharged first." Megure Jusan stood up from the bed, "We also need to go see how Sato is doing."

Miwako Sato is dealing with the truck driver's matter.

"good."

After barely sorting out the two memories, Takagi Shigeru came back to his senses and couldn't help but look at the orange-haired young man who only appeared in this world. He obviously had many questions to ask.

Hasegawa Yuu also wanted to know what kind of memories the police officers had recovered, but now was not the time to chat.

The three did not check out at the nurses' station. They walked out of the hospital smoothly to the parking lot and got into the police car.

After a moment of silence in the car, they spoke again at the same time.

"Inspector Megure, Officer Takagi..."

"Xiaoyou..."

Three pairs of eyes met in mid-air. Hasegawa laughed out loud and asked directly, "Do the officers remember anything?"

Ten minutes later, the three of them, having understood the general situation, fell silent again.

After a while, Megure Jusan lowered his hat and said, "I've been a police officer for so many years for nothing!"

Who is this guy in the collapsed world? I don’t want to recognize him.

"Our last memory of our original world is being caught up in countless cases."

At that time, social order was very chaotic, leading to a continuous increase in crime rates.

The younger Takagi Wataru was quicker to accept this sort of thing. "So if we want the world to return to its original state, all we have to do is reduce our Honkai Impact Element to 0?"

"Yeah." Hasegawa Yu didn't hide anything. "Everyone in Investigation Section 1 is basically a red-side character with a Houkai value, including Section Chief Date."

Takagi Shigeru opened his mouth and said that after the world restarted, time would return to the day of the "Cocoon" press conference, but by then, Brother Date had already...

After the restart, will Brother Ida still be there?

Meeting those bright orange-gold eyes, Takagi Shigeru swallowed the question for some reason.

Megure Jusan looked at him, but was unable to ask the same question.

In a collapsing world, it is incredible enough that the dead can come back to life.

When the world returns to normal, the "collapsed" Ida Kou will naturally no longer exist.

And Hasegawa Yu obviously didn't know anything about their original world.

Anyway, the young man will return to his own world after completing his mission, so there will be no need to have another person to worry about, Megure Jusan thought.

Spending such a long time together was enough for the people in the Investigation Division to realize that this was a soft-hearted young man with a strong ability to empathize. Who knows how they would cry after learning about this incident.

What if they refuse to restart the world? Everyone can live.

This is undoubtedly a very tempting option.

“…”

Megure Jusan closed his eyes. The social ecology and development of this world, which was even worse than the original world and could not be easily changed, kept appearing in his mind.

He believed that his brother Ida would make the same choice as himself.

Because they are police officers.

"We will help with the Honkai Impact 3rd over in Investigation Division 1, Mr. Hasegawa... Xiaoyou." Megure Jusan felt it was weird to change the name, so he changed it back.

"right."

Takagi Wataru's eyes flickered, then slowly became firm, having already made a decision in his heart, "Leave Section Chief Ida to us."

It’s a new teammate!

Hasegawa Yu's eyes lit up, "Yeah!"

Remembering something, Megure Jusan asked again, "Is there anyone targeting Xiaoyou in the virgin explosion class?"

"The virginity-destroying team?" Hasegawa Yu shook his head, "No."

Seeing this, Mu Mu Shisan frowned slightly and thought to himself.

He didn't resurrect? Could it be... because Brother Matsuda died too long ago?

On the other side, Kenji, who had died longer than Matsuda, drove to the side of a road.

A few hours ago, there were several cars chasing Hasegawa Yu. Two of them collided and stalled on the way for some reason, and the people in the cars were forced to stay where they were.

Kenji Hagiwara sent people to capture these people, and no one obstructed the process, so he came over to check the clues on the collided car.

The cell phones and other electronic devices in my car suddenly exploded...

Thinking of the information he had extracted from the captured people, Hagiwara Kenji scanned the interior of the car and said, "Someone is one step ahead of me."

The man with semi-long hair stood facing the car and said casually, "What a coincidence, Scotland."

Three seconds after he finished speaking, a man with black hair and phoenix eyes walked out slowly from a shadowy corner not far behind him.

"It's a coincidence."

The black-haired man in a gray-blue hoodie with a bass bag slung behind him said in a gentle voice, "It's really fast. There's nothing that happened in Kabukicho that you don't know."

"Isn't that a matter of course?"

Hagiwara Kenji turned and looked at the newcomer. "At least we're on my own turf. Scotland has Bourbon as his partner, so he should be used to our intelligence style by now."

"I'm used to discussing individuals individually, otherwise it's easy to create stereotypes about a group."

"really."

Hagiwara Kenji's eyes rolled slightly, and he nodded as if he agreed with what he said. "I've accidentally developed the stereotype that snipers are not good at close combat."

“…” Zhu Fu Jingguang stared at him silently.

The semi-long-haired man opened his violet eyes and met her gaze calmly, exuding a hint of innocence.

"Then Speyside is being too careless."

As they looked at each other, Zhu Fujingguang's expression remained the same as usual. "Wouldn't it be dangerous if this stereotype was applied to Gin?"

"I don't think anyone would have such a stereotype about someone like Gin."

Hagiwara Kenji spread his hands and raised his voice slightly as he addressed the man in front of him, "Scottish-chan is an exception, an exception~"

At this moment, a crow landed on a telephone pole beside the road, its blood-red eyes staring at the two grown men curiously.

"Scotland came to Kabukicho on a mission?"

Putting an end to the casual conversation, Hagiwara Kenji changed the subject and said, "If you need any help, please let me know."

Whether he will help or not depends on his mood.

"I do have something I need Speyside's help with." Zhu Fujingguang didn't use the word "help." "It's about the people in the two cars behind you."

"Sure enough, only the Boss's mission can bring Scotland to me." Hagiwara Kenji sighed.

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhu Fu Jingguang said in a cold tone, refusing to get closer to him. "I have something to ask these people."

The black-haired man's blue eyes seemed to be stained with a light gray in the winter evening light. "Are they still alive?"

"Don't worry." Hagiwara Kenji added slowly, "Well, at least he was alive before I left for here."

Zhu Fujing glanced at him and pulled the shoulder strap of the bass bag on his shoulder. "That's good. Let's go."

"By the way." Hagiwara Kenji followed his pace, "Scotch-chan asked me for help. Bourbon won't be angry when he finds out, right?"

"But I didn't mean to do that. It's hard to disobey the Boss's orders."

"......?" At this moment, Zhu Fu Jingguang got goosebumps all over his body.

So disgusting, is there something wrong with Speyside today?

Seeing no one answering, Hagiwara Kenji didn't care and quickly finished his self-consolation. "After all, weak intelligence personnel are not suitable for dangerous field missions. It is indeed better for Bourbon to stay in the office."

"Christmas is coming soon, and the weather is getting colder. Frail people are more likely to get sick. Is there heating in the councillor's office?"

Zhu Fujingguang picked up his goose bumps, smiled, and solved the case.

"What do you think, Scotch-chan~?"

Scottish-chan looked at the man with semi-long hair dimly.

Okay, I understand that you don’t like him and Zero’s “pretending to be weak”.

Scottish Sauce: "I think Bourbon would be more willing to discuss this topic. I don't mind passing on a few words for you."

Haha, he didn't believe that Speyside hadn't fooled Jinmo before.

Half an hour later.

Kenji Hagiwara, who assisted Morofushi Kagemitsu in completing the mission, successfully sent the person away.

Recalling what just happened, he rubbed his chin, "It seems that Yuu-chan's mysterious source of information is quite impressive."

There is no way to hide the fact that electronic products exploded on their own, unless Scotland was involved.

But the black Toyota was shot at by Scotland, the items in the two cars were searched by Scotland, and the Boss also sent greetings.

It is clear that Scotland has no intention of hiding anything.

But if Scotland doesn't come, the people who come will probably turn into gin.

Of the two options, neither of which was very good, Kenji Hagiwara reluctantly accepted the former.

Thinking of this, he turned off the signal jammer that Scotland had requested to be on at all times, picked up his phone and clicked on it. "Boss is testing Yu-chan's position in your heart, mysterious source of information~"

[Renya Karasuma probably figured out what happened to me around Yuu.] After discovering that the signals from Speyside and Scotland had been blocked for a while, Noah's Ark understood.

Fortunately, Karasuma Renya couldn't confirm for the time being whether he was always by the mermaid's side or just occasionally helped out.

The most important point is that so far, everyone thinks that his movement and existence must be through the Internet or electronic products.

No one knew that he had become a "system" living in Hasegawa Yu's mind.

In this state, even if the signal around the mermaid is blocked, Noah's Ark will not be disconnected from him.

The AI, which had just returned from a visit to Kenji Hagihara's phone, told the mermaid not to be nervous.

[Karasuma Renya is afraid that I will launch a devastating attack on the organization's network intelligence. He won't take action against Xiaoyou easily until he finds a way to completely target me.]

But there are bound to be secret temptations like today.

"What about Hiroki?" Hasegawa Yuu thought of the human child he met in the third act. "Has Karasuma Renya also been looking for him?"

"I've exchanged information with Hiroki. He's safe where he is." Noah's Ark paused for a moment. "Hiroki is very curious about Xiaoyou."

"We will be able to meet officially one day." After returning to the safe house, Hasegawa Yu turned his head to look at the night sky outside the window.

The weather is clear today. There is not a cloud in the night sky, and it is dotted with scattered lights.

The cold air unique to winter drifted in the night, blocked outside by the closed windows.

"We are still under the same sky." Even the people who knew him in the third round had no memory of him.

Hasegawa lowered his brows, "Getting to know each other again is a novel experience."

Noah's Ark, the only one with whom we share common memories, lowered his voice and said, "Hmm."

In the next few days, after compensating the rental company for the car and buying a new mobile phone, Hasegawa Yu briefly returned to his regular schedule.

By the way, the money for compensating for the car was transferred to him by Hagiwara Kenji after he asked him if he could claim compensation from the criminal.

The organization claims that the prisoners' property will be confiscated sooner or later, so it would be a waste if it is not spent.

In the past few days, Sato Miwako's collapse value has also dropped below 50%.

Currently, the Honkai Value of the police officers in the Investigation Division 1 fluctuates between 25% and 35% and continues to decline.

Once they began to recover the memories of the original world, their collapse value began to decrease abnormally steadily.

Hasegawa Yu has not forgotten about the truck driver and the bribe list.

However, Megure Juzo said not to worry, it was no problem; the truck driver was sent by the person on the list, and he was put in jail; the bribery list matter was also being tentatively sought help from the police.

However, we have to find a way to act first and ask for permission later, bypassing Ida Kou. His collapse value has only dropped a little bit and is still hovering around 95%.

As Christmas draws closer, things are getting better.

After careful consideration, Hasegawa Yu reduced the frequency of searching the crime scene, and had Noah secretly monitor the situation while he increased his self-defense training.

When he was on the run in the third round, Hasegawa Yu had no time to devote to psychology. After going to the United States, he slowed down the pace of learning related knowledge points and focused most of his attention on collecting konpeito.

Therefore, this type of training is all new knowledge to Hasegawa Yu, and he cannot use his memories from previous rounds to slack off.

"Woo, the music student is going to be a police academy student."

"What police cadet?"

At some point, Fūya Rei, who was standing at the entrance to the training ground, crossed his arms and asked, "Xiaoyou, have you changed your mind about applying to the police academy again?"

"No." Hasegawa Yu answered honestly, "There's no way I can apply to the police academy."

You will definitely not pass the cultural subjects.

"Then why did Xiaoyou want to learn how to shoot from me?"

Having agreed to this, Furuya Rei, who had come to the training ground for this very purpose, approached him and said, "You obviously don't like the look of guns."

"I have to learn something." It was difficult to talk about his escape experience, so Hasegawa Yu muttered, "What if I can scare someone?"

He glanced at the blond man and said, "I saw you wearing a double-arm holster, so I thought you must be a very good marksman..."

Feeling that he had hidden his holsters well under his suit, Furuya Rei raised an eyebrow, "When did Xiaoyou see it?"

Except for the night when he sewed the buttons, he never took off his coat in front of the young man.

"Hehe, I found it by accident."

Hasegawa Yuu showed a slightly smug expression and gestured with his hands, "I've worn this before, and I recognized the slight mark left on Senpai's suit."

"It can't be a restraint..." He trailed off, zipping his mouth shut.

Retracting his warning look, Furuya Rei said meaningfully, "Xiaoyou has passed through here before, hasn't he been trained?"

“That’s all for styling.”

Seeing that no one had stopped him from talking, Hasegawa Yu quietly raised his head again, "The main purpose is to look good and handsome. I'm holding a model gun."

There's no need to learn how to shoot a gun to take photos for magazines.

"Oh?" The blond, dark-skinned man said slowly, drawing out the last line of his words, and abruptly returned to the previous topic. "So the restraints are also?"

A restraint? Really? What on earth was the young master playing with before?

Judging from his face and personality, he doesn't look like someone who would do such a thing.

Hasegawa Yuu instantly shrank back and tried to defend himself, "It's not the kind of restraint you think it is, it's a proper one!"

Furiya Rei smiled, "What kind of restraints am I thinking of?"

Hasegawa Yu puffed up his face, took out his cell phone and searched for celebrity looks for people on the spot.

He's not the only one who's done this kind of look, so the senior's tone is really weird!

Humph, the bad guy is indeed a bad guy!

"That's right." Seeing the photo of the star that the orange-haired young man held in front of him, Furuya·Bad Guy·Zero was thoughtful.

There is no such person in the entertainment industry. What is the purpose of taking such a photo? See for yourself.

Thinking of clothing brands and songs that didn't exist in this world, Fūya Rei gathered his thoughts and glanced at the young man. "Did Xiaoyou bring a gun?"

"I brought it, but don't we use the training gun first?" Hasegawa Yu took out a gun from his bag.

This is the same sword I used when I first met Hojo in the park this week.

"People in the organization don't play with training guns." Furuya Ling picked up the gun and looked it over. "Xiaoyou has never maintained it. It's been so long, the gun will rust."

"It's just right. I can learn about the gun's parts structure while doing maintenance."

Hasegawa Yu had seen pictures of guns in books before, so he obediently followed his instructions and disassembled the gun into its various parts.

"Not counting training, what was the reason for the first time you fired a gun, Senior?"

Hasegawa Yu, who was halfway through dismantling the box, asked curiously.

The first thing that came to Rei Furuya's mind was the scene of him and Hiro in the organization's base when they were young.

His smile faded, and he didn't give a specific answer. "A gun is a weapon. What could it be used for?"

"Oh." Hearing that it was used to kill people, Hasegawa Yu remained silent.

Well, seniors are bad guys, that’s normal.

Hasegawa Yu muttered, "If I really become a police academy student, I will definitely put my senior in jail."

Only this is the collapsed world, and the senior escaped the disaster, huh!

"Hmm?" The blond senior smiled.

"I've taken it apart, senior!" Hasegawa Yu shouted.

"Was the sentence Xiaoyou just said so short?"

“It’s the language of my hometown.”

Hasegawa Yu's eyes darted around, and he quickly came up with a clever idea. He mumbled a bunch of random words, "Listen, aren't the lengths similar?"

The mermaid speaks the local dialect!

Fūya Rei took out his phone and turned on the real-time translation. "Xiaoyou, can you say it again?"

Unable to repeat himself a second time, Hasegawa Yu carefully pushed the phone back and placed the gun parts in his hand. "Senior, even if you are a teacher, you can't be absent during class."

Falling valley zero:.

Who deserted first?
