Under the canopy, the sound of night rain is annoying.

There seemed to be a lot of police cars and ambulances on the pedestrian street under the Sky Tree in New Tokyo, flashing red and blue lights illuminating and dispelling the surrounding darkness, and groups of people struggling and crying words such as "I'm not hurt" and "I don't need a hospital" were forcibly escorted into the ambulance.

Waiting for their... It will be a long period of observation and detention and even a necessary removal of the unknown, and the scene will be filled with shrill sirens and noisy human voices.

The cameras of the reporters from the major television stations who had just arrived shook in the rain, and the interview process was not smooth, and they were driven away several times by the police officers of the Metropolitan Police Department and the black-robed enforcement team of the Adjudication Division.

But perhaps because of the ethics of journalists, or because they simply wanted to make a big news, there were still many TV reporters who persevered in the form of guerrilla warfare.

In the rental house of the Aragaki apartment.

Higashinohara found that the new Tokyo station had only a few words about the news under the sky tree and started playing cartoons again, so he couldn't help but shake his head and casually switched to the news channel.

"It's 9:38, I'm a reporter, this is the foot of the Sky Tree in New Tokyo, we can see that the street in front of here is a little congested, a large number of fire trucks and ambulances have gathered, some people say that there was a brief power supply failure in the Sky Tree tonight, followed by a large-scale bloody incident, please follow our camera to find out."

Soon, the female reporter spotted some Metropolitan Police Department officials in front of her.

She didn't dare to go up to interview the black-robed enforcement team of the Adjudication Division with a gloomy and terrible face, but the Metropolitan Police Department was her own person, and the female reporter greeted the cameraman behind her and ran up quickly.

"Hello, I'm a reporter, there seems to be something amazing under the sky tree tonight, what news can I reveal at present?"

"Journalists... Not... Hello, there is no news that cannot be revealed, the people of Wano Country should have the right to know, but we have just arrived at the scene, and the specific situation is still under control, so we can only say that what happened under the Sky Tree tonight is a tragedy for us and the entire Wano Country! We are deeply guilty and remorseful (bow) for the unfortunate death of the Seventh Judgment of the Commissioner of the Special Investigation Team dispatched by the Adjudication Division. ”

"That's really very sad news, but I see that there is a revelation on the Internet that there was a large-scale bloody violence here tonight, many innocent people were killed, and there are even photos of the black-robed execution team on the Internet, does the Metropolitan Police Department have any explanation for this?"

"Uh... There were indeed some casualties here tonight, and the specific data is still being counted, so please refer to the official announcement... However, as far as we know, the people who were killed were coerced by the brainwave interference of unknown mental abilities, and took the initiative to attack the enforcement team of the Adjudication Division, and the enforcement team was forced to defend itself, which did inevitably cause some casualties, for which I would like to express my deep condolences (bow) and call on everyone to raise their awareness of the law..."

"Just in self-defense? .... Uh, okay, but I heard that some people were escorted into ambulances against their will, and many friends from the journalist industry who came to the scene tonight were also taken away by confiscating their filming tools, which is a serious violation of Wano Country's press freedom and safety law, does this mean that the authorities are trying to cover up something? ”

"Ahh That's a good question, but it's not the case, the main purpose of the survivors we left behind is to observe the impact of the unknown mental ability interference they have received, and if there is no problem, we will arrange to be discharged one after another, after all, the hospital accepts so many people at once It is also a great test for our medical system in New Tokyo, and the filming equipment that the reporters have been temporarily sealed for storage will be returned when they are discharged. ”

Speaking of this, the person in charge of the Metropolitan Police Department suddenly remembered something and hurriedly added to the camera.

"In view of the serious safety accident that occurred under the Sky Tree tonight, the Metropolitan Police Department and the government have decided to temporarily close the Sky Tree attraction and the surrounding business circle for maintenance and investigation of potential safety hazards from tomorrow.

"I see? Okay, so after interviewing the person in charge, I believe that our audience in front of the TV also has a general understanding of what happened under the sky tree tonight, and for those negative rumors on the Internet, I hereby call on everyone not to believe rumors and not spread rumors, and if you find that the rumor makers and disseminators contact the Metropolitan Police Department as soon as possible, everyone has a responsibility to maintain the public customs and good order of New Tokyo. The above is reported by this station. ”

“......”

While the scene at the foot of the Sky Tree is still chaotic, the new Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department building.

Office of the Head of the Third Investigation Team.

A man in a black raincoat knocked on the office door, pushed the door and walked in after getting an answer from inside.

In the office, a man with half-long hair and a kind face sat quietly in an office chair with his back to the door, his eyes falling on the mottled rain trails on the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows not far in front of him.

After the person entered the door, he took off his raincoat, shook off the rain on his clothes, walked to the water heater very familiarly and took a glass of water, turned to look at the man with his back to him and said with a smile, "I guess you haven't left tonight, I didn't expect you to really haven't left, what?" Do you not work overtime to turn around? ”

Kimura turned his chair around, his slender white hands crossed on his knees.

He glanced at the figure who was still habitually hidden in the darkness that the light could not reach after entering the door, and did not respond to the other party's ridicule, but asked lightly, "Is it all over?" ”

"Yes, Kyoto Kenhao's life-and-death fight was temporarily interrupted, and a sniper appeared on the Sky Tree, suspected to be a scavenger of the Night Evil Revolutionary Army, but in the end, the Seventh Ruling Envoy still surprisingly died at the hands of the guy wearing the dark gold mask... Tsk, I'm curious about what kind of face is hidden under that mask. ”

The man who had melted into the shadows spoke at a rapid pace like a newscaster, and after a pause, he shrugged his shoulders and continued:

"Oh and one more thing, a lot of people died under the Sky Tree tonight... Well... A lot.... Our Excellency the MP was angry and smashed a lot of things ... He probably thinks you've cheated on him. ”

"Deception?"

Kimura Hakuto chuckled and shook his head, "Hypocrisy is really every politician's passport, our parliamentarians are much more mature than they were back then... But it's still not mature enough. ”

He still didn't realize that this was a battlefield, a war that had already begun, and that war was always accompanied by sacrifice, wasn't that the case with any war in history? Sacrifice a small number of people for a better tomorrow..."

Unexpectedly, the man who melted into the shadows suddenly interrupted with a smile, "Stop! I'm just a worker, so keep that for our Mr. Senator. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and suddenly spoke, "But there is one thing that I am puzzled about, that alien [boundary] was discovered by you a long time ago, and choosing to open 'that door' tonight is really to give people the strength to resist as you said on the radio?" ”

In fact, it is not surprising that people have this question.

After invading the broadcast of the Sky Tree Radio Tower, Kimura Hakutaka painted a beautiful blueprint for the people to resist the oppression of the Celestial Man and the World Government after they have the power.

However, in fact, when the gates of the Border were opened, demons entered.

Most of those who were demoted lost their minds in an instant, and were bloodily purged by the Inquisition Division in a frenzied attack.

The rest of those who survived were all escorted to the hospital and detained.

Everything is like a ridiculous farce...

At this time, hearing the question of someone coming from the shadows, this time, Kimura Baituo was silent for a few seconds before slowly speaking, "[Boundary] has a grade, I haven't been to that side, and I don't know what level [Boundary] this is, this is also my first test, and tonight is an unexpected situation." ”

"Anything unexpected?"

The man from the shadows muttered to himself, and shook his head again, "But I don't think there should be such a thing as 'unexpected' for you." ”

The people in the shadows don't know much about [Border], in fact, there are not many people in the entire Wano Country, or the whole world, who know more than the man with a gentle smile in front of them, and even most people have never heard of the word "Border".

But he understands the man,

After knowing each other for so many years, he has never seen the other party do anything that he is not sure of.

Sure enough, I only heard Kimura Bai Tuo laugh lightly, "Have you ever fished?" ”

"I'm sorry, but I don't have the leisure of you big guys."

Not caring about the ridicule in the other party's tone, Kimura Baituo bowed his head and continued, "In order to have a richer harvest, we generally choose to make a nest before fishing, and the bait used in the nest can be divided into powder, paste, granular, and... Live bait..."

"I'm sorry, that's a bit too much, but I'm sure you should understand what I mean, our goal has never been to eliminate the black-robed enforcement team of the Ruling Division stationed in Wano Country, they are just minions of the World Government and the Celestials, but the masters behind these minions and the forces around the world who have even a little bit of knowledge about the history of the alien demons...

They are fearful and greedy for aliens, and I am curious.... What kind of actions will they take when they hear the news of the Alien [Border]..."

Hearing Kimura Hakutaku's words, the face of the person in the shadows gradually showed a thoughtful look.

At this time, Kimura Baituo turned his head to look at the mottled water stains on the floor-to-ceiling window, and sighed softly:

"The country of Wano has been silent in the East China Sea for so many years, and it is a little dull after all, and such a country cannot carry out a vigorous revolution."

"It's also time for

It's time to get a little more lively. ”

After sighing softly, he turned around, and the person from the office disappeared into the shadows at some point, leaving only a small trace of water dripping from his raincoat on the ground.

Kimura Shirato chuckled and shook his head.

He knew that the visitor in the shadows would bring his words to the ears of "our parliamentarians" word for word, and thus strengthen his conviction to walk on this path.

People always live for their beliefs.

Isn't it?

......

In the upper Kyoto city circle, in the dark square of the Adjudication Division, in a dimly lit room.

"I thought that as a butcher's knife, it should be sharper," a silver-haired, hand-made formal suit with a kind face sighed softly.

Behind the old man, a man and a woman stood silently. Lyon and the Fifth Ruling make Crowe Sword. Lot, both of them are [S-level adjudicators] of the Adjudication Division.

The sixth ruling made Adeline. Leon's figure was full and proud, and the wide black robe of the ruling division was forced by her to wear a kind of tights, and the hem of the robe seemed to have been deliberately carefully cut, revealing half of the calves that flashed in the moonlight with a seductive halo, and the dark purple snake head tattoo could be faintly seen on the legs, and the whole person was filled with a cheetah-like sense of strength.

And beside her, standing side by side with the woman, she looked about two heads taller than Crow Sword. Lot's man, with orange hair, is most eye-catching for the three knives at his waist, which are a chopping sword, a thin sword, and a densely patterned oriental fast knife.

Standing there, he didn't make any movements, but his whole body gave people a chilling momentum, and ordinary people would have the illusion of being placed under the crossing of three swords just by looking at it, as if they were ready to be killed at any time.

Hearing the emotion of the old man in front of him, the fifth ruling made Cro Sword. Lott was silent, next to the sixth ruling made Adeline. Leon smiled charmingly.

She chuckled with turquoise pupils in her eyes, "No offense, I suggested many days ago that you classify the incident of investigating the masked man in Wano Country as an 'S-class incident', and if I had done it myself, the Adjudicator would not have lost an A-class Adjudicator in vain." ”

"There is no shortage of A-level adjudicators in the adjudication division."

The old man said in a gentle voice, and immediately looked at the two of them, "But this time, I need the two of you to go to Wano Country together, I think you two should be able to spare time recently, right?" ”

"Absolutely."

Adleen. The turquoise pupils in Leon's eyes turned slightly, and he suddenly said with a smile, "But I still think that for the sake of a human being in Wano Country, you sent two [S-class adjudicators] at one time with such fanfare, will it make people with intentions watch jokes in secret?" ”

"Only those who survive can see the joke."

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, and in a kind tone, he turned his head to look at the silent Fifth Adjudicator. Lot, continued, "Of course, a human is not worthy of such fanfare from the Inquisition, but this time you have set off to Wano Country as the commissioner of the Inquisition, and continuing the unfinished investigation of the two Rhine brothers is only one of them, and there is a more important task for you to complete. ”

"What task?"

Adleen. Leon asked.

The old man said in a calm voice, "Perhaps you have heard some rumors about what happened in Wano Country tonight, and the Adjudication Division in Wano Country has urged the local government to cooperate with us to erase the traces. ”

"But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and I hope that you can rank the [Border] before that wall becomes a sieve, and thoroughly investigate everything related to the [Border] in the Land of Seiwa.... Including who, behind the scenes, pushed open the door of [Border] tonight. ”

The voice fell, and the fifth ruling, who had been silent, made Crow Sword. Lott gently pressed the three knives on his waist and replied briefly and forcefully:

"My sword blade is at your service."

The old man nodded with satisfaction.

Three-knife flow. Sword Emperor. Crow Sword.

Among the many judges, although he is not the butcher's knife he has the most handed, he is a man worthy of trust.

The old man turned his head to look at the bright moonlight that was shining in through the window, and his mind came to mind the speech to the celestial beings that he had seen in the report that had been mentioned in the Sky Tree Radio Tower.

He couldn't help but raise his hand to rub the cool moonlight on the arm of the chair, and sighed softly:

"Wano Country... Over the past 100 years... Are we overindulgent of humans? ”

.......
