Chapter 63 Welcome To The Apocalypse
Four days later…
In the 7th sheriff’s office, Laylah sat on a chair, her face down on the desk. She felt like throwing all the documents away and then going on a trip to relax.
“Laylah…” Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out.
Laylah turned around to see Akiko in a police uniform approaching.
“Akiko?! Are you back? But… you seem to have lost a lot of weight.”
Laylah was a little surprised when she saw that Akiko was thinner than before. In fact, from the moment Akiko saw Tadashi sucking people’s blood in the Kioa slums like a monster, she was hospitalized and couldn’t go to work until today.
Now, when she appeared, Laylah discovered that Akiko was much thinner. Although it did not affect her beauty, Akiko’s beautiful face was covered with a dark film that was difficult to tell.
“Sorry, Akiko, I’ve been too busy with recent cases to come visit you.”
Laylah said while sighing.
Hearing that, Akiko shook her head, although she smiled, her smile was still filled with sadness: “It’s okay, I understand you are very busy.”
“Laylah, I saw the news, it seems that Tadashi is killing more people. Don’t you intend to denounce him?”
“Heh?! Are you no longer protecting Tadashi?” Laylah felt a little strange and asked.
It must be known that in the past, Akiko always protected Tadashi, no matter what the circumstances, Tadashi was always right, and Hikaru was always wrong. 𝒃𝒆𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Akiko shook her head: “Sorry, I was too childish before, so I was easily tricked by Tadashi. No, to be more precise, I let him fool me, I was fooled by his warm exterior.”
When Laylah heard that she stood up, approached Akiko, patted her head and hugged her. Laylah patted her back and said, “Don’t think about it, it’s good that you realized it. At least, you won’t trust him blindly anymore.”
Akiko nodded, after feeling some of Laylah’s warmth she pulled away. Akiko was confused and asked, “Laylah, you have proof that Tadashi is the bloodsucker killer, why don’t you show that proof?”
“Tadashi has killed 22 people, if we don’t catch him quickly, he will kill more people.”
Laylah shook her head and sighed: “Haizzz, I also want to use that video as proof.”
She knows Akiko is referring to the video Ryrlia sent her, however…
“But, do you think your superiors will trust that video? You have to understand that even if we believe in that video, it is unlikely that Mojure or his superiors and people will believe it as well.”
“That video is so absurd and mythical. You should remember in everyone’s mind, Hikaru is a useless and stupid person, and Tadashi is a competent and warm person.”
“The video shows two people with two different personalities than people perceive, do you think people will believe it?”
Akiko bowed her head when she heard that, she understood that it was just… she didn’t want to let Tadashi keep killing people.
“Is it… is there no other way?”
Hearing Akiko’s desperate voice, Laylah sat on the chair sighing: “Haizz, we have two ways. The first way is to let Tadashi suck other people’s blood in front of many people, especially with reporters or the police.”
“The second way is to find Hikaru.”
“Find Hikaru?” Hearing that, Akiko suddenly remembered the video Laylah showed her.
That’s right, maybe Hikaru knew Tadashi was a blood-sucking monster a long time ago, it’s just…
Akiko lowered her head and said, “Will he… will he accept to cooperate with us?”
Laylah sighed: “Haizz, definitely not. Right now he’s trying to find a way to avoid me, so asking him to cooperate with us is harder than going to heaven.”
Laylah finished speaking and glanced at Akiko, although Laylah didn’t say anything more, Akiko knew that the main reason was her.
To be more precise, because of what Akiko did to Hikaru, because of that, he definitely wouldn’t agree to cooperate with them.
Akiko sighed dejectedly. In the end, these troubles were caused by herself, in other words, Akiko indirectly killed 22 people.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Suddenly, Laylah’s personal phone rang. Because her phone was on the table, Akiko also saw who the caller was.
“First kiss”
Akiko was startled, thinking she was mistaken she immediately approached to get a better look.
Laylah saw that and immediately picked up the phone, Akiko saw Laylah’s expression and smiled, she felt that there was no need to take a closer look.
“Hahaha… it seems that the gentlewoman of Team 7 already has a lover.” Akiko smiled teasingly.
Laylah’s face turned a little red, when she saw the caller, she thought for a moment, and she remembered Hikaru’s words four days ago.
That’s right, Laylah named Hikaru’s name on her phone as “first kiss”.
Laylah didn’t know why she did it either, but when she saved Hikaru’s phone number, she remembered the kiss between them in the car.
Finally, Laylah saved Hikaru’s phone number as “First Kiss”.
However, she didn’t think that Akiko would see it. Luckily, Akiko didn’t know it was Hikaru, otherwise…
Laylah also remembered Hikaru’s words: “Then on the morning of the 17th, I will call you and tell you the whole truth.”
Today is October 17th.
Laylah thought for a moment before accepting Hikaru’s call.
“Hello?!”
“Hm… it seems you’ve been very busy these days, right?”
Laylah sighed: “Yes, that case is getting more and more serious while you didn’t say anything. So… you will tell me the truth today, right?”
Laylah couldn’t contain her excitement, she felt her heart beat faster, and her face was flushed red.
Akiko was startled when she saw that, she had never seen Laylah blush so seductively.
So… Laylah really loves that “first kiss”. At this time, Akiko felt happy for Laylah, as finally Laylah had found true love.
What about Akiko?
Laylah didn’t care about Akiko’s thoughts and expressions right now, as she was extremely interested in the ‘secret’ that Hikaru was about to tell.
Hikaru smiled and said, “Hahaha… don’t be in a hurry. Right now, Akiko is by your side?”
Laylah frowned, glanced over at Akiko, then said, “Wait a minute, I’ll go somewhere else…”
“Don’t worry! Just stay where you are, turn on the speaker, and let Akiko listen.”
Hearing Hikaru’s words, Laylah felt extremely confused. She asked again: “Are you sure?”
“Um, I want Akiko to listen, okay?”
Hearing Hikaru say that, Laylah thought for 3 seconds, then said, “Okay!”
She looked towards Akiko and said, “Akiko, I want you to hear this.”
“I can listen too?” Akiko was a little confused, there was something Laylah’s lover wanted her to hear.
Could it be… Laylah’s lover had a particular fetish?
“Um…” Laylah reluctantly nodded.
Then, she turned on the speaker, and a familiar voice rang out.
“Oi! Are you listening to me, Akiko?”
“Hi… Hikaru? Why is it him?” Akiko heard Hikaru’s voice and she was startled, she then stared at Laylah as if she couldn’t believe what was happening.
Laylah’s “first kiss” is Hikaru ? What’s happening? Has the world gone crazy?
Laylah sighed, “Akiko, I can’t explain this, however, I hope you can seriously listen.”
Akiko tried to calm down, and she nodded seriously.
Hikaru’s voice from Laylah’s phone continued: “Laylah, you asked me what the nature of this world is, right?”
“Um…” Laylah nodded.
“Today, I will tell you the whole truth, I also hope you and Akiko can accept this truth.”
“Me and Akiko are listening. I don’t know how hard what you want to say is, however, what is happening makes me fully believe what you are about to say.” Layla said.
Akiko glanced at Laylah when she heard that, she asked in her heart, since when did Laylah trust Hikaru so much?
Did they know each other from a long time ago?
A lot of questions popped up in Akiko’s mind but she tried to hold back her curiosity, and listen to what Hikaru was about to say.
“Actually, the Tadashi are an alien race that wants to invade this world.”
“Me and a few others possessing supernatural powers are trying to protect the world. However, I cannot make this public and I can only silently try to destroy Tadashi.”
“But… I feel that protecting this world is tiring. Even if I try to protect this world, who will protect me in the end?”
“Even if I save you from Tadashi’s clutches? Akiko, you still chose to trust Tadashi and constantly quarreled with me, sending me to the detention room for no reason.”
“That’s why… I’m tired, this world should be destroyed.”
When Laylah and Akiko heard Hikaru’s words they felt that it was unbelievable. Is this a fairy tale? Or a sci-fi movie? Chuunibyou?
Laylah sighed, she was feeling extremely dizzy. She said, “Hikaru, I don’t want to joke with you, I hope you can tell the truth.”
“Hm… I know you don’t believe me, maybe Akiko won’t believe me either, however, what I am saying is true.”
“Good! Are you saying what you said is true? So… prove to me that what you said is true. If you prove it, I will completely trust you, I can even sleep in the same bed with you.”
Laylah laughed, her voice filled with confidence. Huh! Anyway, since you stole my first kiss, I won’t let you escape from me.
“Want me to prove it? Good! Now… you and Akiko go outside.”
“Go out?” Laylah frowned and asked.
“Um… right now.”
Laylah and Akiko, although both found it difficult to understand, did as Hikaru said.
After exiting the police station, Laylah continued, “We’re out, Hikaru, what are you going to do.”
Hikaru’s voice came from Laylah’s phone again: “Like I said, I’ve been fed up with protecting this world without getting any benefit in return.”
“Laylah, Akiko, look up at the sky!”
Laylah and Akiko looked at each other confused, but they decided to do as Hikaru said.
They looked up at the sky, the sky was very beautiful now, it was a little sunny and a few white clouds were floating like soft cotton balls.
“The sky is not strange at all!” Akiko said with a frown, her voice filled with annoyance as if she had just been tricked by Hikaru.
Suddenly, dark clouds immediately covered the sky in just 5 seconds, like someone brought a black curtain to cover the sky.
The world fell into darkness, and strong cold winds that seemed like it was blowing from hell startled Laylah and Akiko.
Even though they couldn’t see anything, they felt fear and pressure pressing down on their backs like a big rock.
At this moment, Hikaru’s voice filled with teasing came from Laylah’s phone.
“Laylah, Akiko, welcome to the Apocalypse.”
