Chapter 46: Hades
Okita scribbled on a blank piece of paper the back of a man who was a fleeting ghost in the firelight, the culprit of the whole incident. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 After the info was finished, Okita smiled wryly again, and at first glance it looked like a black rag.
"What are you doing?" Kuro suddenly leaned over, "Drawing?"
"Sheriff, please don't go behind people's backs without a word, can you......?
"I'll take a look...... "Kuro ignored Okita's words, grabbed the sketchbook directly, and looked at it carefully, "This is...... The back of the prisoner?"
"Yes, it's basically useless. ”
Kuro sat back at his desk and continued his research, biting his pen and thinking for a while, before writing something on the drawing.
"Recall carefully, Okita, the characteristics of the prisoner, whether he was wearing a cloak or something. ”
"Hmm...... A black jacket, I think, and a backpack on the back, I don't see it exactly. ”
Kuro circles a rectangle on the screen, taking the place of the backpack.
"Is that so...... What's the green part of this right shoulder?"
"I don't know, it's a device with a green light, but I only see light, but I can't see it clearly. ”
"I see......"
Okita didn't understand what Kuro had understood, but he had more important things to report.
"Sheriff, you asked I.O.P. to check the results out. Okita said as he handed a stack of documents to Kuro, "Since all the information in the database has been deleted, they can only submit paper documents. ”
"Sure enough, it's all tactical humanoid ......"
"That's right, the tactical humanoid that was active ten years ago, we also found more specific information. These tactical humanoids were formerly employees of Griffin's personal security contractors and had been involved in the suppression of the Predator riots, and because of their outstanding military achievements, the government secretly allowed these tactical humanoids to continue to live in the security zone, as well as some of the original Griffin human employees. ”
"You mean to say...... Was the government going to shut down?"
Okita did not speak, acquiescing to Kuro's speculation.
"And now we've tracked down one of the former members of the Griffin Security Contractor, a human commander in charge of commanding in the war zone, who now has a café in the city. It is reported that a considerable number of pseudonymous tactical humanoids worked under him, and it is not ruled out that the humanoids in the test results worked in his store. ”
Kuro let out a long sigh of relief, his expression becoming serious. Okita knew that their sheriff was in a quagmire of distress.
"Sheriff, why don't we send someone to ask the commander now? we all have so much information, he won't stop talking, right?"
"Okita, that's a wolf's den," Kuro denied without hesitation, "you'll be torn to shreds if you go in." ”
"Do you want to lock it down completely, and use all the security forces?"
"The combat capability of tactical humanoids is no joke, and if there is a rash conflict, I don't know how many lives will have to be sacrificed. ”
"Or contact the military and eradicate these terrorists in one fell swoop?"
"And then? The prisoner is likely to launch some retaliatory attacks, killing and injuring countless people. ”
Okita was speechless, he didn't know what to do next.
Kuro sighed and turned to look out the window.
"At least we have figured out the rear position of the opponent, and the investigation is not in vain, so let's start from the direction of the prisoner. Okita, our first priority is to ensure the safety of the citizens, and then to arrest the criminals. ”
"Yes, I see. ”
"You have someone look into the information of the Griffin security contractor to see if there is a special team of human mercenaries, and look there to see if there are any soldiers who match the characteristics of the prisoners. ”
Soldier? Okita suddenly realized that the backpack he saw was a standard backpack that only the military had, and the green light on his right shoulder was probably the light emitted by the communicator.
Just then, there was a familiar knock at the door.
"Please come in. ”
"Sheriffs, media reporters are crowded to the door, they are all asking about the cases that happened in the slums!"
"I'm not going this time," said Kuro impatiently, "and you have to find a way to prevaricate yourself." ”
"But sheriff, there are more and more people demonstrating in the streets, and it seems that things are getting more and more serious!"
"Then assign a team to maintain order, do you still want me to teach?"
"Uh...... Be. ”
The officer ran away in a daze.
"Okita, turn on the TV. ”
"Yes. ”
Turn on the TV, and the TV station broadcasts people demonstrating in the streets. As soon as the news of Visa's murder came to light, angry citizens began to denounce the government, and human rights groups saw the opportunity to incite rhetoric that blamed the unequal treatment of human figures.
Thankfully, the march was peaceful, and the citizens followed the established route and did not clash with the policing. The procession eventually reached the Civic Square, where a simple podium was erected, and a leader-like figure stood up, apparently about to give a speech.
"My citizens, my countrymen, have you seen it, Kai Ray and Visa Kakinowski, this is retribution!"
As soon as these words came out, Okita tasted a strange smell. The tone of this man's preaching is no different from that of a religious missionary.
"Our actions have angered the gods! Our slander and discrimination against human form, and all kinds of unequal and dehumanizing treatment have defied God! Therefore, God has sent an oracle to punish us and punish us for our crimes! His eyes full of anger represent the wrath of God! His black clothes will be an eternal nightmare for sinners! Anyone who looks directly at his skeleton will not escape death!"
Okita saw the corners of Kulo's mouth rise slightly. She was sneering, the last thing she believed in was this ethereal thing.
"Atone, repent! My countrymen, it's still too late! If you are sincere, the oracle will see it, and the wrath of Heaven will be appeased! Shout, my people! Let the ignorant government realize what a mistake they have made! Rectify it before it becomes irreparable, and shout loudly! Before Hades swings the sickle of sanctions!"
The crowd of demonstrators boiled over, shouting slogans demanding that the government apologize and redeem for the mistakes made. Human rights groups have also taken the opportunity to call on people to treat every human form equally, so that their riots can be avoided and the tragedy of iron and blood will not be repeated.
Kuro decisively turned off the TV and threw the remote control on the table.
"What's wrong, sheriff?"
"It's stupid not to want to see the part where human rights organizations collect money. ”
Okita shrugged, indicating that he couldn't help it.
"But ......," Kuro said with a slight smile, "Hades, that's a fitting name. ”
She got up from her seat and pressed her hat to her head.
"Let's go, Okita. ”
"Where are you going?"
"I.O.P. Manufacturing Company Division, it's time for us to take the initiative this time. The opponent is Hades. ”
