Chapter 326: Waves (Dazhang Asks for a Monthly Pass)
[The leader of the third investigation team of Wano Country declared war on the world government?! 】
[The Celestial Dragon Clan overwhelmed the first generation of celestial powerhouses and died violently in the Sky Tree]
[The Hulk transforms into the Red Giant, and it's him behind the mask?! 】
[The new leader of the third reconnaissance group was beheaded in the sky tree and declared war? Disputes? Or civil strife? 】
【. 】
March 27, 1122 in the Celestial Yuan calendar.
In this era, there are many channels for information dissemination, and the speed is unimaginably fast.
Especially after TV Shin-Tokyo, which was originally broadcasting the fireworks festival live, broadcast all this by mistake, the news spread all over the world almost the moment Kimura Shirata fell to the ground.
Perhaps for the countless ordinary people of more than 300 large and small countries on the cross continent of the world, this is just an ordinary day with a slight wave.
However, for the vast majority of the people of Wano Province, a remote corner of the East China Sea, it was a night of turmoil, chaos and panic.
Anyone who watched the live broadcast of Shin Tokyo Channel from top to bottom of Wano Country couldn't sleep soundly on this drizzly night, and everyone's hearts still reverberated with the shock of that scene.
First of all, Kimura Shitaku, the leader of the third investigation team, suddenly made a speech that shocked everyone, and the content was tantamount to a declaration of war on the celestial people by Wano Country.
The most confused about this must be the official personnel of Wano Country, and everyone doesn't know why the usually gentle and warm captain Kimura went crazy after a week of business trips?
It doesn't matter if he's crazy alone.
But let's not forget Kimura's official status and the fact that the Third Investigation Team has always been directly responsible to the Prime Minister's Office.
Immediately, many people began to speculate whether it was the idea of the Prime Minister's Office behind this.
If that's the case, doesn't that mean they're going to gamble on the whole country and the world government without being prepared for it?
But do they have a chance of winning?
Just when countless people were panicking, Kimura Baituo was killed by that man on the Tianwang Corridor without warning.
Of course, in contrast, for those big people in Shangjing, what shocked them even more was the death of Abraham, the old man of the Celestial Dragon Clan.
Lost.
The old man died.
You must know that in the eyes of the ordinary people in Shangjing, it is the old man of the Tianlong clan who once sat in a large area of wetland and lakeside parks in the western suburbs of Shangjing.
He actually died at the hands of such a human being.
Yes, that's right, it's human.
Higashinohara's slashing Kimura Hakuta's shrunken body undoubtedly proves that the demon-like body is just a flesh system ability of the human being, but don't forget that Abraham is a ninth-order power system ability.
What kind of meat system ability can wrestle with him?
At the same time, more people in Beijing are paying attention to the two old men who are walking with Abraham.
Walker of the Celestial Snake Clan died at the Prime Minister's Night Banquet a week ago, and many of the eyes of Shangjing who were secretly watching him already knew this, and most of them were a little ridiculed at the greedy old man in their hearts.
But what about the old man of the Aquila Clan, Vincent?
In the last generation, he was also a famous celestial in the city circle of Upper Kyoto, and there was a dojo of the Extreme Ghost Erdaoliu founded by the old man, although Vincent almost never appeared in the dojo and was only taught by the disciples of the Celestial Beings who were accepted that year, but it also indirectly spread his fame.
Such an old man
Obviously, he entered the boundary gate of the Sky Tree with Abraham, the old man of the Celestial Dragon Clan, but when he came back, why was Abraham alone?
What about Vincent of the Aquila?
Did you die behind the Border Gate?
Wait a minute!
It can't be the same man who did it, right?
For a while, the sights of those in Shangjing who were secretly watching the country of Wano through various channels suddenly fell silent,
Everyone's hearts also began to re-examine the man wearing the dragonfly mask in Wano Country, and what frightened them even more was the growth rate of this terrifying heart.
Could it be that the powerful existence of "one person, one country" in the thousand-year-old history will really appear on the Cross Continent again?
Although there are few precedents in history, which ended with the violent suppression of the world government and the overthrow of the country, it must have not happened for many years, right?
The night is getting deeper.
Just when the Celestial Families of all the forces in the Upper Kyoto City Circle fell into deep confusion and deep thought because of the news from New Tokyo tonight.
New Tokyo.
Kasumigaseki 2-chome, Chiyoda-ku.
This area is a gathering place for the administrative buildings of the major departments of Wano Province, and the night rain is dripping down the bricks and tiles of the building, and some of the raindrops swept by the night wind knock on the brightly lit glass windows in the middle of the night, and crawl out a vein-like water trail of leaves.
Metropolitan Police Department, Parliament Building, Interim Cabinet Prime Minister's Office. It's hard to imagine that the offices of Wano Kuni's civil servants, who get off work on weekdays, would work overtime on such a rainy night with bright and dazzling lights!
All the administrative staff and security personnel hurriedly walked through the different office buildings in this administrative area, and with nervous faces, they immediately reported to their immediate superiors the latest news they had just received.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier.
The atmosphere became more and more oppressive.
Parliament Building,
Temporary Office of the Prime Minister.
Since the Prime Minister's official residence was turned into a cloud of fireworks in the fire more than a week ago, the office of the interim Prime Minister has been moved to the Parliament Building, and it is expected that it will not be renovated until the next official Prime Minister election is over.
But tonight, no one cared where the interim prime minister was working, and almost all of their attention was focused on what was happening in Sky Tree Square.
Click!
Crisp leather shoes hit the floor tiles.
Not a majestic stature, or even a little short, the new Foreign Minister and Interim Prime Minister Nobuo Kobayashi pushed open the revolving glass door of the parliament building and walked in.
In the old days, Nobuo Kobayashi, who met a staff member of the parliament building on the road, would even make a few innocuous jokes.
Although the jokes he made at his age were relatively cold, they still made the young staff in the parliament building feel a little inexplicably friendly.
But tonight, the diminutive man frowned hurriedly, and when he entered the parliament building, he headed towards his office.
On the way, the staff noticed that this man who had been in office for less than two months but was getting older and more silent, no one would be able to read the air to greet him at this time.
Everyone stays at their posts,
Waiting for tonight's turmoil, the order was issued from the office of the Prime Minister.
23rd floor of the Parliament Building.
Office of the Prime Minister.
Nobuo Kobayashi stood on the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office with his hands behind his back, his swarthy face illuminated by the fluorescent lamp overhead, his furrows and wrinkles, and his sideburns in his forties were somewhat white.
In terms of appearance alone, he does look like the interim prime minister is more than a step worse than the previous "star grassroots parliamentarian" Dongsen River Valley.
It's just that the eyes of this short man are unusually bright, faintly revealing a bit of insight into the world's wisdom.
Knock knock!
Outside, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in." Nobuo Kobayashi said.
Walking in was the previous head of the Prime Minister's Office.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, normal new officials will replace the previous staff, but Kobayashi Nobuo has retained all the original staff of the former Prime Minister's Office in the Higashimori Valley.
"I've contacted the World Government, and they've heard what Kimura Leader Kimura said tonight on the Sky Tree, asking us if this is Kimura's personal thoughts, or if it's the official attitude of Wano Country."
Speaking of this, the chief of staff paused, lowered his voice, and continued in a somewhat bitter tone:
"The attitude of the other side was very cold, and they said that if it was the latter, the 'World Conference' in the middle of the year would not need to send a representative to Beijing to participate in the meeting."
Suddenly, the small office fell silent, except for the sound of crackling rain outside falling on the floor-to-ceiling windows, smashing countless mottled water traces.
Nobuo Kobayashi, who was facing away, suddenly raised his hand to unbutton a few shirts under his neck, and he seemed to be unable to suppress the anger in his heart at the moment, so he suddenly raised his hand and slammed his fist twice on the floor-to-ceiling window in front of him, and the water traces outside the window seemed to be violently shaken off.
"Damn it! Damn it!! ”
"Mess! It's all a mess! ”
"Fuck off! These bastards! ”
“.”
Objectively speaking, Nobuo Kobayashi does have reason and qualifications to be angry.
The previous Foreign Minister Takushi Amuro, who colluded with external forces to frame important state officials for bribes, died.
Left behind a mess of chickens and dogs.
He stubbornly took this position, and finally cleaned it up.
Prime Minister Dongmori Valley had another accident, and a lot of shady scenes were exposed in the media, and he was pushed to the position of acting minister again to continue to clean up the mess.
It can only be said that Nobuo Kobayashi has a relatively strong ability to resist pressure.
He gave up unnecessary suspicion and party strife, boldly called on the original team left over from the previous term, and took various internal measures in a multi-pronged manner, and the internal affairs of Wano Country were about to get on the right track
However, the heavens did not grant people's wishes.
At this time, the third investigation team directly under the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Kimura Hakutaku, had another accident
Nobuo Kobayashi, even if he is tough and can resist pressure, he can't resist it.
At this moment, if the chaotic thoughts and rather scribbled mood in his mind can be described in one sentence, then that sentence must be:
"Oh, that's stupid, really"
"My lord. What do you say? The chief of staff cautiously leaned over and asked.
Whew!
Interim Prime Minister Nobuo Kobayashi rubbed his aging cheeks against the reflection of the floor-to-ceiling windows in front of him, and then exhaled a long breath.
He turned his head and said to the chief of staff in a heavy tone, "Call back to the World Government, what Team Leader Kimura said and did on the Sky Tree tonight can and can only represent his personal actions, and Wano Kuni and I have no knowledge of this. ”
Speaking of this, Nobuo Kobayashi pondered for two seconds and continued, "By the way, in addition, let the Second Search Division of the Metropolitan Police Department set up a 'Kimura Incident' investigation task force and report directly to me, and I will hold a press conference the afternoon after tomorrow."
The chief of staff hesitated and said, "Is it so urgent?" I'm afraid."
"We. . No! Time is running out in Wano Country. ”
Nobuo Kobayashi looked at the office director seriously, and said with a somewhat self-deprecating smile, "Do you think those high-ranking celestial councilors of the World Government will have time and mood to wait for us to investigate?" A day and a half, couldn't be too late! ”
Sensing the helplessness and heaviness in Nobuo Kobayashi's tone, the office director's mood was also a little low, knowing that what the other party said was an indisputable fact.
At this time, for the sake of the overall situation, they must draw a line and make a parting.
Originally, the withdrawal of the ruling division from Wano Country and the upcoming World Conference had plunged Wano Country into the abyss.
It's just that the previous prime minister, Tomori Valley, did not know where to greet three distinguished guests who were powerful enough to influence the proposal of the World Conference, and hyped up the situation at the moment of crisis, so that everyone in danger of Wano Country once saw a ray of hope in the vast darkness.
It's just a pity that this hope came quickly.
Went fast.
The three "celestial and noble guests" died and there was no one left.
There are even media rumors that these celestial dignitaries are related to the incident of the missing children in Wano Country, which makes that glimmer of hope extinguish in an instant.
The only thing Wano Country can do now is to save itself by "talking better than nothing", and trying to make its existence appear less "eyesore" in the eyes of the World Government and the Adjudication Division, but it is unknown how much effect it can have.
Next, a series of orders for the follow-up of tonight's events were clearly issued from Nobuo Kobayashi's mouth, which was enough to see that this short man was a rare doer.
However, just as the chief of staff turned to leave, the interim acting prime minister, Nobuo Kobayashi, suddenly stopped him again.
"Is there anything else you can do?" The chief of staff asked.
Nobuo Kobayashi was silent for a long time, and then slowly spoke, "What do you think of 'that man'?" ”
The moment he heard the words "that man", the office director's heart tightened.
He looked up at Nobuo Kobayashi's unusually bright eyes, obviously already knowing who the other party was talking about.
In today's Wano country,
"That man" can only be "that" man.
In fact, since last year, when the man first appeared to assist the Metropolitan Police Department in solving the social crisis, the Wano Country government also intended to set him up as a positive role model superhero character.
But as the man didn't know whether to say it was due to interest or unscrupulous style, he moved some important people who shouldn't be moved or couldn't move Wano Country, and gradually came to the opposite side of the Wano Country government.
Even the previous prime minister, Hiroshi Katsu, was forced to abandon the other party.
When the previous Prime Minister of the Cabinet took office, the Higashimori Valley announced that he would leave Wano Country and not have a station.
It can be said that the government of the Higashimori Valley completely turned him on the opposite side of Wano Country society and the people, announced that the man was a "high-risk element in society", and included him in the wanted list of the Metropolitan Police Department.
But now, Interim Prime Minister Nobuo Kobayashi in front of him has once again mentioned "that man".
Being able to climb to the position of the confidant of the head of the Prime Minister's Office in the Cabinet is naturally impossible to understand people's hearts, and he guessed the thoughts of the temporary acting minister in front of him almost instantly.
Next to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office,
Nobuo Kobayashi looked at the office director at the door with a calm face, and said softly:
"What that man has been doing, although it does not conform to the laws of Wano Country, but it has not reached the point of high-risk elements in society, and now Wano Country has reached a critical moment, as government officials, we cannot continue to suppress the subjective initiative of these powerful people with civil ability."
"You mean to cancel the Metropolitan Police Department's wanted for him?" The chief of staff asked.
Interim Prime Minister Nobuo Kobayashi glanced up at him, shook his head lightly and said, "Of course we can't cancel the wanted at this time, that man may have already appeared on the wanted list of the world government now, but we can release a little 'goodwill' from within." ”
Neither canceled his wanted.
And to show kindness to it?
The position of the chief of office is a person with a lively mind, and he instantly understood the meaning of Nobuo Kobayashi's words, and he already knew in his heart how to convey the Prime Minister's true instructions to the Metropolitan Police Department in the follow-up treatment of "that man".
Same rainy night, different place.
In front of the Aragaki apartment building,
A dark shadow flashed under the cloudy yellow streetlamp.
The little couple waiting for the last train at the bus stop across the road only felt a flash in front of them, rubbed their eyes and found that there was nothing under the streetlights, and turned to discuss their future in the city again with concern.
The apartment building has five floors, in front of the rental house.
"I'm back."
Higashinohara shouted, pulling out the key and trying to open the door.
As soon as the key was inserted into the door lock.
The door opened automatically.
Behind the door, the little girl in pink pajamas rubbed her hazy sleepy eyes, and the moment she saw the person standing outside the door, her big clear eyes suddenly revealed an incomparably bright and excited look.
"Big brother!"
Higashinohara smiled and entered the room, his pale face smiled gently, as if nothing had happened on a trip, but a hint of gloom flashed in the place in his heart where no one noticed.
About half an hour ago,
Faced with a large number of unknown particles that diffused after Kimura Hakutaku was killed, Higashinohara immediately chose [Collect] after the [Sin Manual] detected it in his mind.
Although the Tianwang Corridor was not all the ability fruits prepared in Kimura Baituo's plan at that time, it also allowed Higashinohara to earn a wave of source power points, which was almost enough to push the [Nine Eyes and Six Paths] one step further.
However, he inexplicably felt that something was missing in his heart, and there was a faint sense of inexplicable watching.
At that time, the situation in the Celestial Hope Corridor was critical, and the situation and the remaining time did not allow him to think too much.
It wasn't until he had just returned home that his heart suddenly relaxed, and Higashinohara didn't react.
seed
He's pretty sure
Kimura Hakutaka died so much that he couldn't die anymore.
However, the [seed] that Kimura Hakuto relied on to advance in the dream did not seem to have been absorbed by the [Sin Manual] after he was killed.
What went wrong?
What was that sense of peeping at the time?
