From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 289 This country is still too urbanized

While the entire Japanese leadership was racking their brains over the concept of "extraordinary," the chaos in Kyoto continued.

Although the ghosts all disappeared with the arrival of daylight, the chaos of the night was not alleviated.

It could even be said that the city's administrative system is in a very worrying state of "paralysis" because the area where government officials are located was attacked.

After all, the administrative system of capitalist society does not operate through commands, but rather through a very loose parliamentary system plus a civil service system.

Without the support of faith and the maintenance of national enthusiasm, where do these bureaucrats, who can't even be considered "clocking in for work," get the real "self-restraint" to maintain the normal operation of society?

Just like nuclear power plant accidents and natural disasters, or even those absurd social conflicts.

Do you really think this laziness, shirking responsibility, and procrastination are due to the inaction of certain individuals?

In this capitalist society, the so-called national will is nothing more than a power game!
In the eyes of these high-ranking officials, what is the so-called "peace in the city" compared to their own lives?
The information broadcast at the Prime Minister's official residence had already been released into Kyoto's circles, so everyone knew about the monster, and some people even deduced the monster's "identity" based on this information!
That conversation wasn't a secret; everyone knew the reason for Sano Ichiki's death, so they didn't want to stay there at all!

Who hasn't done what Sano Ichiki did? Who hasn't experienced it? Who can guarantee that the person they killed or indirectly caused won't be resurrected and become a monster because of such a thing?
Therefore, they completely ignored the millions of citizens still living in the city, who were all fleeing the city at lightning speed, which exacerbated the chaos in the city!
However, what these people didn't know was that if they could leave the city, why couldn't those monsters?
Behind these people, more "things" are slowly leaving this city and this area, heading to where they belong!

This is the true meaning of faith-based nation-building: it's not just about a city, but an entire country!

This scene was, of course, within Bai Yang's expectations. He looked at the fleeing crowd, then turned his gaze to the departing "ghost," and chuckled.

"I merely bestowed my power upon this city; I didn't seal it off. What makes you think that leaving is enough?"

"Your Majesty, do we just need to wait for the hundred demons to be born on their own?" Alvin asked curiously. He could also see the birth of these demons and the appearance of various extraordinary monsters under the amplification of willpower.

At this rate, they'll experience the terror of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons in a month at most!

"Of course not!" Bai Yang said. "Ordinary little monsters can be born on their own, but big monsters can't!"

"The great demon may need our manipulation to truly reveal itself!"

His eyes were expressionless, and he spoke slowly with an indifferent tone, "These ordinary ghosts will only frighten us; they don't fit our initial plan!"

"Since we agreed that everyone should be extraordinary, then everyone should be extraordinary! Why aren't the great demon's subordinates extraordinary?"

"I'm quite curious to see whether these people would rather be human, or a 'demon'? Or perhaps, with the help of their sects, become subordinates of some extraordinary forces?"

"This country is still too urbanized. It would be better to let it return to the Heian period, the era when humans and yokai coexisted!"

"Didn't they like to sing praises of the so-called Warring States period? Well now, the extraordinary Warring States period has arrived!"

Bai Yang recounts his special plans for this country, because he has no affection for it and can instead use it as a huge experimental field to help him complete certain designs!

“You are right, Your Majesty! The generation of extraordinary willpower will accelerate the construction of our extraordinary world!” Alvin said, bowing his head.

……

Hayato Shiratori is a detective with the Kyoto Police Department, and a rare example of an official who still tries to maintain order amidst the city's chaos.

With the entire Kyoto bureaucratic system completely paralyzed, and even calls to his superiors going unanswered, the young detective knew that everything from now on depended on him. How had this city become like this overnight? Hayato Shiratori couldn't understand it for a moment.

"Sir, there's been no news from any of the officers above the rank of Inspector... It seems they've already left Kyoto!"

The words of his subordinate policeman snapped him out of his thoughts, and he immediately said, "It's their business if they leave, but we can't leave! We're not those bureaucrats who only care about their own interests!"

Unlike those high-ranking officials, many of the police officers in Hayato Shiratori's team were from Kyoto, their hometown.

Therefore, they cannot leave as easily as others!

This is their home, the place where they have always lived. Those bureaucrats can leave whenever they want, but they can't just walk away.

“That’s true, but Captain… we’re going to be facing those terrifying monsters!” a policeman said tremblingly. “Can we really fight them?”

Hayato Shiratori pinched his brow. "This is not something we need to worry about. Such extraordinary monsters are naturally fought by the priests of Shintoism and the senior monks of temples. Our goal is to save people!"

"It's daytime now, those monsters shouldn't appear. Let's save as many people as we can! We'll save our home ourselves!"

"Yes, Captain!" the group shouted. Although fear was inevitable, people shouldn't only have fear; they should also have something else, such as the thought of protecting their homeland.

The police officers boarded the vehicle and headed to the locations where they had previously reported the incidents. Local operators from Kyoto were a great help, telling them which locations in the area had been reported to the police.

Thus, Hayato Shiratori was able to go to these places to rescue people.

Among the large crowds fleeing the city, these police cars were a rare sight, heading towards a place where disaster might occur.

"Is this the place? Someone called the police saying they heard screams and children's laughter coming from here!" Hayato Shiratori held the documents in his hand, looking at the mansion in front of him, and cautiously peered forward.

Even though according to Japanese mythology, those harmful demons and monsters don't come out during the day, he was still very cautious, afraid of falling under the spell of some monster and putting himself in a life-or-death crisis.

As he stepped inside, the first thing he felt was an intense, almost overwhelming, stench of blood!

The smell, of course, did not deter Hayato Shiratori. They were police officers, and they had seen such bloody scenes before. Japan had no shortage of perverts who committed all sorts of murders. After all, the fact that murderers were not sentenced to death was far too lenient for criminals.

Even so, after actually entering the lobby of the house, Hayato Shiratori still frowned deeply!

Because he saw a large number of severed limbs, neatly arranged on the ground, forming several sections.

The left hand, right hand, left foot, right foot, and torso are all placed in separate areas, arranged side by side, quite neatly, with a kind of bloody beauty.

This scene was as if dozens of people had been torn apart, leaving behind a tide of death that sent a visual shock to everyone who saw it!
Dark red and black bloodstains on the ground presented an undeniably terrifying sight before him.

“Waaah... one, two, three…” Suddenly, a clear and tender child’s voice rang in Shiratori Hayato’s ears, making him raise his gun abruptly!
In the corner of this room, a girl dressed in red was fiddling with a bunch of heads!
If nothing unexpected happens, these are the heads of the people on the ground.

Hayato Shiratori raised his gun and aimed it at the girl. After last night's monster incident, no one would really believe that this little girl was a real child!

"If I were you, I wouldn't attack a Zashiki-warashi during the day!"

Just as Shiratori Hayato was wondering about the girl's origins, a clear, crisp voice came from the courtyard next door!
P.S.: Japan is still too urbanized (laughs)
