The Imperial Palace, the small square in front of the East Garden, which was originally known as the "Sea of White Jade", gathers countless celebrities, dignitaries, politicians and parliamentarians who come to celebrate the birthday of the Emperor every year on his birthday, but today this white jade floor tile under his feet seems to be "rippling".

Or to be precise, it was like being repeatedly pulled by a huge plough machine, and the neatly tiled white jade floor tiles were broken into countless fragments and stones, as if the whole surface had been turned upside down.

In front of the square, sirens blared, screeching brakes were heard endlessly, and the flashing lights of red and blue storm lights overshadowed the sunlight behind the clouds overhead... The current scene can be described as an unprecedented upheaval in this sacred place behind Sakurada Gate in the decades since Emperor Tokumei's accession to the throne.

At this moment, the 3rd Investigation Group, which rushed to the parliament building early in the morning to support, finally realized that it had been miserated, and hurried back to defend itself.

However, when they finally arrived at the scene, they were still one step slower.

And for the people who witnessed this scene all the time, when the tiles, gravel and dust of the frenzied tide fell violently, the originally fierce and terrifying battle came to an abrupt end in an instant, and the whole hearts of countless people seemed to be infinitely lifted into the air and then suddenly lost all gravitational pull and support...

It hung there empty.

The battle is over?

Although just now most people in the retina, have more or less captured Makas. The bloody scene of Rhine's head and arms breaking out of thin air in the rushing water.

But the battle between the two was so quick and sudden that many people couldn't be sure if it was a hallucination or a real scene.

If it's true...

A world government ruled that death on the emperor's birthday...

The meaning of the cold skin behind it,

It's chilling to think about.

The most important point is...

What about the murderer?

He's dead?

Escaped?

Or they were buried in the ruins...

No one knows the answer.

For a moment, the security and guards who had returned from the support and the personnel of the third reconnaissance team began to deploy with nervous expressions, and their eyes were firmly fixed on the miserable white jade ruins.

......

In the corner of the Ruins Square.

The Night Raven of the Four Maple Courtyard, one of the three Seventh-Order Absolute Ability Beings in the Imperial Palace, was defeated by the Wind Demon Ryusheng before being defeated, and at this time he looked at this white jade ruin with a somewhat complicated expression.

Of course, it was not difficult for him to guess that the captain of the dragonfly just now had been replaced halfway.

If this is not the case, then the eleventh ruling of the Adjudication Division can be killed by Marcas. The strong man of the Rhine, I am afraid that it will not take so much time to deal with himself at all.

But what is the purpose of the other party?

Wouldn't it be a ridiculous reason to offend such a behemoth as the top brass of Wano Country and the world government?

The moment this thought flashed in the mind of the night crow of Sifeng Courtyard, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and a somewhat self-deprecating look appeared on his face.

Oh, yes...

I don't know when,

Justice is getting a little ridiculous, too...

......

With the full cooperation of countless guards, the square in front of the palace, which had almost been turned upside down, was quickly turned upside down again.

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight stretchers covered with white cloth were set up on the edge of the ruins of the square—the corpses of the politicians and parliamentarians who had previously been strangled by the shadow of the Wind Demon Ryusheng.

Among them, the body of Foreign Minister Taku Amuro is still incomplete, because he was cut off by Captain Dragonfly with a single blow after "going and returning".

It's just that the battle behind is too fierce, and the head doesn't know where it went, and at present, the identity can only be determined by the fat and bloated body, and the lost head is still being searched.

In contrast, the Celestial Judgment makes Marcas. Although both arms and head were broken and separated, the Rhine was lifted out of the rubble and was still relatively intact...

It's just that it's not something to celebrate.

At this time, the members of the "stability faction" in the inner cabinet and parliament, who had always relied on the "friendly" relationship with the world government as their political bargaining chips, everyone's face was as sad as a mourner, and their hearts were full of anger and fear of the coming anger of the world government...

It's paradoxical, but it's realistic.

Although these politicians and parliamentarians of the "stability maintenance faction" live proudly in the spring breeze of Wano Country, they are above countless people, and their hearts are full of the reserve of the upper class... But subconsciously, he knows very well that everything he has needs to rely on others to maintain it.

Tsunezaburo Yamaguchi, chairman of the National Security Council, was one of the few survivors of the "purge", and he did not have time to mourn the death of the leader, Foreign Minister Taku Amuro, and stared at the white jade ruins square, which had been almost turned upside down.

Suddenly, he grabbed the collar of the guard who walked by, stared at the other party and almost roared, "This is the end?" What about people? What about the abominable murderer? ”

In the final search, the guards and security personnel finally found the round and fat bloodstained head of Foreign Minister Taku Amuro in a pile of rubble, but unfortunately they never found any strange body wearing a dark gold dragonfly mask or politicians and parliamentarians.

Faced with the roaring questioning of Tsunezaburo Yamaguchi, the chairman of the National Security Committee, the young guard swallowed his saliva, bowed his head a little nervously and reported, "The captain has taken us to search twice, and we haven't found any..."

Before he could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by Yamaguchi Tsunezaburo, "If you don't find it, it doesn't mean you're not there, give me another look!" Until you find it! ”

"Yes!"

The young guard lowered his head, he was just a security guard who had not been in the company for a long time, and he was not even a regular worker.

Looking forward to turning positive at the end of the year, how dare he talk back to these high-ranking politicians and parliamentarians, so he could only turn around and go back with some frustration.

But at this moment, a pair of slender and white hands suddenly pressed on his shoulders, and said with a chuckle: "Don't look for it anymore, the person is already gone." ”

As soon as the young guard raised his head, his face suddenly stood up and saluted with some excitement.

"Ahh Team leader Kimura. ”

As an ordinary security guard, the third investigation team is undoubtedly the holy place of his career, and the person in front of him is Kimura Shirata, the acting leader of the third investigation team after the disappearance of Tokugawa Kurita in the North Sea.

In fact, Kimura Hakutaku's insignificant words also attracted the attention of the other cabinet members who survived the catastrophe, and everyone's faces turned pale all of a sudden.

Ran away?!

So who bears the wrath of the adjudicators?

Thinking of the horror of the violent institution of the world government, Yamaguchi Hengzaburo, chairman of the National Security Committee, gasped twice, and his face suddenly stared at the half of Kimura Shirakutak's forehead covered in the sunlight with a somewhat gloomy face, and asked with suppressed anger in his tone:

"You've been here today, why don't you go and help? Did you know that the Rhine ruling is important to us? And our Stability Defenders! Those are very important people in our organization! ”

Kimura Hakuto listened carefully, and then explained in a gentle tone: "I'm sorry, but I was patrolling the Imperial Palace when the councilors were killed, and by the time I came over, the man had already launched the speed field... That's not a battle I can meddle into. ”

"So you choose to sit on the sidelines?"

Yamaguchi Hengzaburo obviously didn't believe it, and said with a grim face, "Don't forget, we are people in the same boat. ”

His voice was neither light nor heavy, and he did not avoid the young guard next to him, who had not yet left, and the latter's face was a little dazed when he heard this.

Kimura Shirato smiled at the young guard, turned his head, and said in a still gentle tone:

"Although we are in the same boat, I have always felt that if one day the people on the boat fall into the water and drown, maybe the country will be saved."

"You!" Yamaguchi Tsunezaburo obviously didn't expect such an answer, his eyes widened in anger, and he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

He knew very well that the man in front of him with half-long hair and a feminine temperament was not only the temporary acting leader of the third investigation team, but also a newly promoted seventh-order absolute ability, and behind him was a prominent family background like the Kimura family...

Either way,

It's not something he can easily provoke.

.....

The Imperial Palace Outer Garden, the only way to the main entrance of the Imperial Palace, wanders under the double bridge.

downstream of the river,

A figure suddenly crawled out of the river.

The man clutched his waist and sped along the shadow of the willows on the shore, and soon a path appeared in front of him, and a black commercial vehicle was parked beside it.

The man approached and knocked on the driver's window, and the door opened quickly.

The Wind Demon Ryusheng, who dragged his injured body, climbed into the car with ease, but when his eyes fell on the back seat and saw the man with a cold and hard face like a glacier, his body couldn't help but stiffen slightly, and he immediately lowered his eyelids and sat down beside the man silently.

Hanagasa, who was acting as the driver, looked up at the two people in the rearview mirror who seemed to be separated by a mountain, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

Although the two brothers of the Wind Demon family are extremely talented, the younger brother has an out-of-the-box personality and acts in an eclectic manner; The elder brother is silent and tenacious, and acts extremely steadily, and the two brothers who have incompatible personalities on weekdays get together less and leave more, but today they rarely meet in his car.

As soon as the Wind Demon Ryusheng got into the car, the black business car started and quickly left the weeping willow land by the river.

A moment later, on the way of the commercial car, the leader of the Night Evil Revolutionary Army, the contemporary patriarch of the Wind Demon Family, Wind Demon Kotaro, looked down, and glanced at the pale face of Wind Demon Ryuo, whose waist was soaked in blood, and blood was constantly oozing out from under a piece of red clothes.

He retracted his gaze and looked ahead, and said in a flat tone, "I thought you weren't that stupid. ”

Wind Demon Ryusheng, whose forehead was covered with beads of sweat, endured the sharp pain of the bloody hole in his waist, and after hearing the other party's words, a smile appeared on his handsome and clear face.

"I don't think I'm stupid."

Wind Demon Ryusheng narrowed his narrow eyes and said softly, "I said that if an assassination attempt could not make the other party's crimes public, it would be a meaningless murder. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and continued, "Today I took the stage as Crown Prince Renwen to tear off the ugly faces of those politicians and parliamentarians, and let the ordinary people know the truth about the accident in Beihai, so that this is a meaningful assassination, isn't it?" ”

"Have you ever thought that your so-called meaning is likely to put you in a situation of death."

Wind Demon Kotaro's face was still as stiff as ice.

He didn't turn his head to look at his younger brother next to him, and said in a calm tone, "And maybe the people don't want to know the truth about your so-called truth, is it the death of the Tokugawa Kurita that made you lose your mind?" ”

Hearing the last words of Wind Demon Kotaro, Wind Demon Ryuo's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly, and some memories of his youth surged in his mind.

A smile gradually grew on his pale and handsome face, and he said in a serious tone, "First, the Tokugawa Kuritoro is just missing, and no one can conclude that he must have died; Second, even if he is really dead, what I did has nothing to do with that tiger, and third..."

Wind Demon Ryusheng said this, his tone softened, and a smile appeared on his pale face again.

"Thirdly, I am not dead, but I have completed my mission and returned safely, and every time I think that the first breath of air I will breathe in the morning in the coming days will be the fresh breath of those ugly politicians and parliamentarians, my heart is extremely relieved."

There was silence in the car for a while, and the wind demon Kotaro frowned, ignoring the ruffian in his younger brother's tone and character, and said coldly:

"Self-deception doesn't mean that you can hide it from everyone, the demigod-level celestial judge of the third stage of the eighth order, you may be able to try to fight in ten years, but today, if the man you play doesn't really appear, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to collect your body now."

Wind Demon Ryusheng was exposed on the spot, but he was not embarrassed, but he just leaned back and gasped, "Then you can't deny that before that man appeared, I had completed the trial of those ugly parliamentarians in my inner moral court, but I was a little sorry that I didn't personally solve that foreign minister." ”

Hanagasa Wenren, who was driving in the driver's seat in front, heard that the tone of the two Wind Demon brothers, who were-for-tat every time they met, seemed to be slowing down, and couldn't help but ask:

"By the way, what is the strength of Captain Dragonfly who calls himself a member of the 'New Tokyo Wind Discipline Commission'? The demigod-level adjudication division of the third stage of the eighth order.... Say kill and kill... Tsk, I didn't expect such a terrifying existence in Wano Country. ”

Hearing Hanagasa Wenren's words, Wind Demon Ryusheng couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously recalled in his mind that the figure that appeared without warning when he fell in the ruins of the palace where he smashed a hole.

The man and Marcas. The Rhine is different.

Eighth-order 3rd stage demigod-level ability Makas. The Rhine is like a sun above his head, exuding his own light and majesty all the time, making people feel a trembling feeling just by looking at it.

However, the man behind the dark golden mask did not have the slightest aura of a strong man, and I am afraid that you will not look at you when you pass by with a mask, just like the most ordinary passerby in the crowd.

After witnessing the "ordinary passerby" brazenly kill Marcas. After the scene of the Rhine, if Wind Demon Ryusheng insisted on finding a word to describe the other party at this time, then there were only two words he could think of - black hole.

Silent

But it is fraught with danger.

It's just that there is one thing that Wind Demon Ryuo can't understand, even in the battle in the Imperial Palace, the other party has unleashed a rare "open" unrestricted realm.

However, in the face of the higher-level power of [Rules], the [Domain] should theoretically have no power to fight back at all, and the other party has unbelievably completed the counter-killing.

Wind Demon Kotaro seemed to guess the confusion in the hearts of Hanagasa Wen and Wind Demon Ryusheng, and pondered for a moment before he slowly spoke:

"For assassins, there is no hierarchy of strength in actual combat, only the power that can kill and the power that can't, that man obviously belongs to the former, but..."

"But what?"

Hanagasa, who was driving, asked curiously.

Wind Demon Kotaro replied in a calm tone, "Matter is conserved, there is no power in this world that comes out of thin air, if you want to defeat the strong with the weak, that man... It should have come at a very heavy price. ”

"Will you die?"

Wind Demon Ryuo asked suddenly.

Wind Demon Kotaro glanced at his younger brother beside him, and after a moment of silence, he said, "It should be very difficult to live..."

There was a sudden silence in the smoothly driving car.

Such like-minded men.

It's a pity...

......

At the same time,

On the main square of the outer garden of the Royal Palace.

Higashinohara, who had just borrowed his excuse to go to the bathroom, returned to the queue again at some point.

Some people say that murderers always like to return to the scene after committing a crime to admire their masterpieces.

Higashinohara doesn't have such quirks.,He simply didn't have a trace of extra physical strength to support him to go home first.,I can only change the clothes I brought with me today and go back to the most dangerous and safest place.,Waiting for the school bus in the parking lot outside.。

At this moment, Higashinohara looked at the ruined white jade square in the distance, just like everyone else, and his face seemed to be full of nervous curiosity.

In fact, while he was slowly soothed with spiritual healing, his consciousness was completely immersed in the sin manual.
