Is Godai Yusuke Unconscious?

The hopeless wait was a torment. At this moment, Sakurako Sawatari proposed returning to the office.

"I want to go back and continue deciphering the ancient text. Maybe there's a solution there."

Sakurako Sawatari left, and Minori Godai also stood up.

"I believe he's fine. I also want to go back; I shouldn't just wait here."

"Minori... I'll take you home."

Minori Godai shook her head, forcing a worried smile.

"Mr. Hozer, please stay here. In my brother's heart, you are his Master. He will surely be happy to see you when he wakes up."

Master... A memory flashed in Hozer's mind from their special training.

"Mr. Hozer, is this ancient martial arts? It's amazing. Didn't you say that ancient martial arts schools only teach their disciples? Then aren't you my Master?"...

"Minori, Godai will definitely wake up."

"Yes."

Nodding vigorously, Minori Godai's eyes were filled with determination.

Hozer had waited outside the operating room for eight hours when finally, the door opened.

"Shuichi, is Godai awake?"

Tsubaki Shuichi looked unwell, stepping out dejectedly. Hearing the question, he avoided Hozer's gaze.

"How can he be? He's Godai!"

Grabbing Tsubaki Shuichi's shoulders, Hozer wanted the answer he desired, but Tsubaki Shuichi remained silent.

"Damn it!"

Hozer released Tsubaki Shuichi's shoulders, leaned against the wall, and stared blankly at the ceiling.

Late at night, Hozer went to the scene of the Mushroom Gurongi's murder case, meeting Ichijo Kaoru, who still hadn't rested.

Upon meeting, Ichijo Kaoru rushed forward and landed a powerful punch on Hozer.

"Why are you back?!"

Hozer didn't resist, lowering his head. Ichijo Kaoru stepped forward, grabbed his collar, and shouted, "Didn't you want to pursue power? Why are you back? Tell me, why are you back?!"

Ichijo Kaoru seemed to have lost his mind, repeatedly punching Hozer's face, hitting him until his hands were bloody, but still refusing to stop.

Finally, Ichijo Kaoru grew tired, pushed Hozer away, staggered, and collapsed to the ground.

"Any news on Number Thirty-Five?"

Ichijo Kaoru glared angrily at Hozer.

"You go pursue your power; you don't need to interfere with the Gurongi matter."

Hozer knew that at this moment, Ichijo Kaoru had just received news of Yusuke Godai's death and wouldn't listen to anything he said.

He gave a self-mocking laugh, then pulled out from his chest the certificate of investigation consultant for the Unknown Lifeform organization that Ichijo Kaoru had personally given him before.

Taking one last look at the certificate, Hozer placed it on the ground, quietly turned, and left...

At a train station in Tokyo, the Rose Gurongi and Mantis Gurongi found the Mushroom Gurongi leaning against a wall.

"You don't have time to rest either. It's been a day, and you've only killed nineteen people."

"Ah, Kuuga has been poisoned by me. He should die soon, and then killing people will be even easier."

"Kuuga won't die, but you must."

Suddenly, a cold, powerful voice interrupted. The three Gurongi turned to look in the direction of the sound.

The Rose Gurongi's eyes slightly chilled, the Mantis Gurongi excitedly raised her scythe, while the Mushroom Gurongi immediately stood up and fled.

The Mantis Gurongi glanced at the fleeing Mushroom Gurongi, disdainfully saying, "Trash will always be trash."

The newcomer was Hozer. At this moment, he was like a volcano suppressing an eruption, ready to unleash scorching lava at any moment, dragging everything around him into hell.

Hozer glanced at the fleeing Mushroom Gurongi, then fixed his gaze on the Rose Gurongi.

Feeling utterly ignored by Hozer, the Mantis Gurongi was enraged, stepping forward to block his view of the Rose Gurongi, and said coldly, "Human, you are my prey."

Hozer frowned slightly. The pressure the Mantis Gurongi exerted on him wasn't great; such a character dared to stand in his way.

Seeking death.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a folding knife, instantly transforming it into a Tang Dao-style long saber.

"Garima, he's very strong. You're no match for him."

Having witnessed the Vulture Gurongi and the Me Group's defeat, the Rose Gurongi knew that, based on the strength of the Me Group Gurongi alone, they couldn't possibly be Hozer's opponent.

The Mantis Gurongi, upon hearing this, was naturally unconvinced and immediately transformed into her Lord form, charging towards Hozer.

Seeing this, the Rose Gurongi no longer tried to persuade her, but also did not join the battle, instead turning and leaving directly.

As the game's supervisor, she couldn't die here.

The Mantis Gurongi was not weak, and Hozer would need some time to deal with her, so he let the Rose Gurongi leave.

After all, there was plenty of time; he was alone now and had all the time in the world.

The scythe in the Mantis Gurongi's hand swung rapidly, each strike aimed at Hozer's neck.

But it was clear that the Mantis Gurongi's scythe-wielding combat style was unsystematic, relying primarily on speed.

Hozer first defended, and after probing the Mantis Gurongi's strength, he immediately unleashed a killing blow.

Using the "Four Ounces Deflecting a Thousand Pounds" technique, he deflected the scythe, leaving the Mantis Gurongi's center wide open. He immediately swept past her, and the long saber in his hand swiftly slashed across her vulnerable throat.

The Mantis Gurongi's body stiffened, standing still, unable to move even a finger. Her body parts rapidly lost control, and the shadow of death enveloped her.

"How... how could this be!"

With a thud, the scythe slipped from the Mantis Gurongi's hand, and at the same time, her head fell from her neck.

Turning to look at the belt around the Mantis Gurongi's abdomen, Hozer hesitated for a moment, then still took it off and absorbed it into his body on the spot.

"Haven't I been pursuing power for a long time? Why hesitate now?"

"Ultimate Darkness... Let me see what you truly are."...

On the rooftop of an unnamed tall building.

The Rose Gurongi, wearing a white gauze dress, stood at the edge of the rooftop, observing the city brightly lit under the night sky.

The gentle breeze fluttered her dress and white ornaments, combined with the Rose Gurongi's exquisite face, creating an indescribably aesthetic beauty under the moonlight.

At this moment, a series of roaring motorcycle sounds echoed from afar, breaking this beautiful image.

"Where's Garima?"

"She must be dead."

Sitting on a motorcycle, a red silk scarf wrapped around his neck, disheveled hair, the man continuously tossed a coin up and caught it, then turned to reveal an evil smile.

"Killed by that human named Hozer?"

The Rose Gurongi remained silent, but her eyes gave the man an affirmative answer.

"We hunt humans, but he... seems to be hunting us."

"Baruba, shut up! Do you know what you're saying?"

"No one can use the word 'hunt' against us. We are the players of the game; humans can only be prey."

"Badaa, times are changing."

The man quickly walked up and stared at the Rose Gurongi's face.

After a long moment, he smirked and said coldly, "Baruba, when I finish the game, I want to kill you."

Facing the man's death threat, the Rose Gurongi showed no fear, only a slight chill in her eyes, and calmly said, "Then wait until you finish the game before saying that, Badaa."
