Tokyo area, District 40.

This is the most marginal area in the entire Tokyo area, and it is also an outer area where no one lives.

Here, there are no tall buildings, no crowds of people, only endless silence and desolation.

Of course, as the most marginal area in Tokyo, it is also called the dividing line between heaven and hell.

Outside this dividing line is an endless forest, and inside is a dark wall blocking the view.

The unshakable dark wall is the huge stone tablet that protects the last paradise of mankind.

Its height is as high as the sky, and the top is almost impossible to see.

Its color is richer than darkness, and it reminds people of not hope but sin.

The height alone is more than 1.6 kilometers, and even the width is 1 kilometer, there are actually a few houses around the huge stone tablet.

These houses are the residences of the Self-Defense Forces that guard the border of the Tokyo area and guard the huge stone tablets.

Noah and Rentaro came here in the evening.

This is a place where even the gift car is unwilling to drive in.

So, Noah and Rentaro took a gift car and went straight to the 39th district of the outer area before getting off. After letting the driver stand there, he hiked here.

"Although I have seen it many times..." Rentaro looked up at the huge dark stone tablet and spoke in a complicated tone.

"However, every time I see these black stone tablets, I think that no matter how it looks, it doesn't look like it will protect human existence."

"Is that?" Noah asked in an indifferent tone.

"So, what kind of existence is more suitable for protecting humans?"

"At least change the color?" Rentaro murmured.

"Like white or something."

"So, you can only think about it." Noah smiled slightly.

"It is probably more difficult to find a white horn than to develop an artificial artifact."

"But, this color really makes people feel uncomfortable." Rentaro sighed.

"It's like telling humans that even if they continue to survive, the future will be just like darkness."

"No future is dark." Noah spoke without hesitation.

"In my opinion, as long as you can survive, there will be a hopeful future. In the eyes of many people, as long as you can survive, it doesn't matter if the color of the giant stone tablet is black, even if you are dyed black, it doesn't matter."

"So, are there so many human beings who have become hopeless in this era?" Rentaro's tone was depressed.

"It really makes people feel like they don't look like human."

"I think that compared to the one who used to think of nothing but just upholding justice, the sentimental you are now less like you." Noah said with a laugh.

"When did you become so literary?"

"I also think I don't look like me like this," Rentaro curled his lips.

"It's just some nonsense, you don't have to care."

Upon hearing this, Noah shrugged and said nothing more. He raised his head and looked at the huge stone tablet in front of him.

"This is the No. 1 giant stone tablet, right?"

"That's right." Rentaro calmed down and nodded.

“The first huge stone tablet located directly in front of the Tokyo area is here.”

"The Self-Defense Force is stationed around the giant stone tablet all year round, and this No. 1 giant stone tablet is equivalent to the headquarters of the Self-Defense Force." Noah touched his chin.

"Soma Son-xiong is on duty here, right?"

"At least, that's what it says on the file." Rentaro spread his hands.

"Since the commander of the Self-Defense Force has been in the city to meet Qi Wu Zongxuan in private, it is really hard to say whether he is here or not."

"No matter whether he is here or not, we will be able to make a trip." Noah said helplessly.

"I've been running for a day, I hope that the self-righteous guy can make us gain something."

"If I had known this, I should have brought more people here before?" Rentaro spoke like a hindsight.

"As a result, the president of our Goblin Township had to work hard for a day in order to find something. It's so sad to think about it."

"I would rather walk on it myself like this than hiding in the office to approve documents." Noah narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Besides, this is not an ordinary thing, it is worth my last time."

"It's not an ordinary thing?" Rentaro was slightly stunned and then reacted.

"Have you discovered anything?"

"That's right." Noah nodded.

"However, now I'm just guessing, and I don't know if Aoma Son-Hima can give me a clue to confirm my speculation."

"Then let's go there quickly." Rentaro started to look serious.

"It's already so late. If we continue to spend it, it will be very unfavorable for our investigation."

Noah nodded again.

Then, Noah and Rentaro walked towards the direction of the huge stone tablet.

...

On the back of the No. 1 giant stone tablet, there is a not-so-luxury but extremely vast house.

It is said to be a house, but at first glance, it looks like a military fortress, with walls all around it, and buildings inside it look like military camps.

Noah and Rentaro came directly to the front of the gate and looked at the military camp.

The military camp in the evening was terrifyingly quiet, and the dark stone tablets were used as the background, which made people feel even more creepy.

Noah and Rentaro looked at each other.

Immediately afterwards, Rentaro stepped forward, opened his voice and shouted directly.

"Is anyone here?"

Rentaro's voice turned into an echo, constantly echoing over the entire military camp.

In this case, no one responded to Rentaro.

Rentaro frowned and continued to speak.

"We are police officers who came to patrol at the order of the Emperor Sheng. If anyone is there, please open the door for us immediately!"

Due to the increase in volume, Rentaro's voice became particularly loud and even echoed.

However, there was always a silence in response to Rentaro.

Rentaro, who had not waited for any response, frowned deeper and his face became a little unpleasant.

"Did those guys do it on purpose?"

After all, the Self-Defense Force and the Police Department are both famously rejecting police officers, believing that police officers have taken away their status and work and are generally hostile to police officers.

Perhaps, it was because they knew that the people who came were Noah and Rentaro, so they deliberately refused to respond, which made the two of them turn away.

Thinking of this, how could Rentaro's face look good?

Just as Rentaro was about to continue shouting something, Noah suddenly pressed Rentaro's shoulder.

"Rentaro." Noah stared at the direction of the military camp.

"Do you smell anything?"

"Taste?" Rentaro was stunned and then shook his nose.

The next second, Rentaro's expression suddenly changed.

"This taste..." Rentaro's face became solemn.

“No…”

"It should be true." Noah's expression also became joyless and sad, and she said word by word.

“It’s the smell of blood.”

In one sentence, the temperature in the air suddenly drops to freezing point.

"Bang!"

With a muffled explosion, Noah and Rentaro both stepped on the ground, turned into afterimages, jumped up, and rushed into the military camp like two streams of light.

Noah and Rentaro had just crossed the gate and jumped into the air, imprinting the entire military camp scene into their eyes, and the scenes entering their sight made both of them feel sank.

I saw that in the vast military camp, soldiers wearing self-defense forces uniforms lay all over the ground.

All of these soldiers had a pool of blood under them, and their bodies were covered with blood and had no breath.
