By the seaside.
Just this morning, some fishermen were preparing to go out to sea to fish, but they found a strange beast’s corpse lying on the beach.
And.
The beast should have been dead for a long time.
Because the beast’s body was on the verge of rotting, and it was giving off a sickening stench.
Especially since there were gusts of sea breeze blowing, which caused the disgusting smell emanating from the beast’s corpse to spread rapidly in all directions.
Of course.
Where there are beasts, there is our Victory Team.
Although it is just the corpse of a beast, dealing with beast corpses has now become part of the Victory Team’s work.
“Ugh!”
“This smell, it’s so stinky!”
After arriving at the seaside, even after immediately activating the air purification system on his Victory Team helmet, Team Member Horii could still smell an unbearable stench.
Especially after seeing that many reporters had already arrived, trying to break through the barriers of the police station staff, wanting to take photos of the beast’s corpse.
Team Member Horii couldn’t help but complain to Team Member Shinjō, who was beside him.
“Shinjō, do you think those people are crazy?”
“The beast’s corpse is so stinky, yet they’re desperately trying to rush over.”
Shinjō also tightly covered his head with his helmet, and shrugged his shoulders in response.
“What else could it be for?”
“Everyone wants to take firsthand photos of the beast’s corpse, they want to get bonuses from magazine and newspaper companies, right!”
The two chatted as they walked towards the location of the beast’s corpse, led by the police station staff.
Meanwhile.
On the edge of the outer cordon.
A middle-aged man was holding a camera, attempting to rush into the cordon, but was stopped by the police station staff guarding the area.
The middle-aged man struggled to break free from the police station staff’s restraint, while constantly yelling.
“I’m a reporter! I’m a reporter!”
“You Victory Team have a responsibility to issue a statement on the situation here, to let us know.”
But even so.
The police station staff still firmly held the middle-aged man back.
“Reporter sir, we won’t be disclosing the details of the situation inside for now.”
“Moreover, our TPC has established the most professional newspaper department specifically to report the most authentic information about beasts to everyone.”
“After this matter is completely over, our TPC newspaper will publish the entire process in the newspaper.”
“So you don’t have to go inside and risk yourself!”
However.
The police station staff’s words didn’t help, but instead angered the middle-aged man further.
“Damn it!”
“You still have the nerve to mention TPC newspaper!”
“Do you know how badly the sales of our newspaper have fallen because of your TPC’s newspaper!!”
“…………”
The middle-aged man was cursing furiously, but when he turned his head slightly, he saw a scene that made him extremely uncomfortable.
He saw a handsome young man, with a beautiful and alluring woman beside him, easily passing through the警戒线 set up by the TPC, walking towards the beast’s corpse.
The young man had a flashy pink camera hanging around his neck, clearly another reporter.
The beautiful and strong woman, on the other hand, seemed to be the young man’s assistant.
Seeing this.
The middle-aged man was immediately indignant, pointing at the young man and beautiful woman in the distance, and asked the two police station staff.
“Didn’t you just say that entry was prohibited?”
“Why can they go inside?!”
The two police station staff merely glanced at them, recognized the identities of Su Yu and Carmilla, and answered emotionlessly.
“That’s Mr. Su Yu and his assistant!”
“Mr. Su Yu is the chief photographer of the TPC newspaper department, so naturally they are qualified to enter!”
The middle-aged man widened his eyes in disbelief.
“That kid is so young, yet he’s the chief photographer of your TPC newspaper department?!”
“Damn it!”
“He must have gotten in through the back door, right?!”
“Heaven is so unfair!”
…………
Carmilla continued to maintain her cold and aloof appearance as she walked.
Although she had completely held her breath, being in such a disgusting and smelly environment still made her feel very uncomfortable.
“What are we doing here? This terrible environment is truly repulsive!”
Hearing this.
Su Yu gently tapped the bright pink camera hanging around his neck and replied.
“Of course we’re here to work.”
“If we don’t work, are you going to support me?”
Carmilla opened her mouth, wanting to retort, “I’ll support you if I have to!”
But thinking about how she was currently completely dependent on Su Yu, eating his food, drinking his drinks, and even wearing clothes bought by him.
Carmilla didn’t have the courage to speak.
Just then.
A young girl’s voice suddenly reached Su Yu and Carmilla’s ears.
“Everyone, please move aside!”
“Please make way, the patients are waiting for me!”
The girl had a pure and beautiful appearance, seemingly young, carrying a lot of emergency medical tools in her arms, wearing a pure white nurse’s uniform, obviously a nurse from the TPC Medical Department.
Of course.
The girl also had another identity, she was Team Member Shinjō’s sister: Mayumi.
When Mayumi passed through the outer cordon and came to Su Yu’s side, she also slowed down her pace and looked at Su Yu in surprise.
“Oh~ Mr. Su Yu!”
Su Yu continued walking forward, not delaying Mayumi too much, and smiled and nodded at the girl in front of him: “Mayumi, I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Su Yu had met Mayumi once before when going to the TPC headquarters base, so the two weren’t strangers.
Mayumi nodded towards the emergency medical tools in her arms and explained.
“There’s no other way, the smell from the beast’s corpse is really too stinky, it’s already fainted more than ten people.”
“That’s why our Medical Department had to urgently dispatch, but there are still many people gathered here!”
PS: I just saw someone suggesting that Justice should come, but Justis seems to be genderless, right?
