Excessive ferocity due to caution

The sounds of intense gunfire.

Zhao and his companion heard it from a great distance.

The underground laboratory is accessed from inside the manor; the terrain is simple.

Looking at the wreckage, Chutby took off his police uniform.

"hot?"

Zhao glanced at him.

Chutebi shook his head:

"I just feel like I'm not good enough for this outfit."

Zhao Yi laughed out loud.

Chutby glared at him:

"What's wrong?"

"Can't I have a few feelings about this?"

Zhao Yi replied:

"I really don't know how someone like you managed to get to where you are in V City."

This time, Chutby did not refute Zhao Yi's sarcasm, but simply said:

"In the past, the police station actually had many passionate and righteous people..."

Zhao Yi:

"Did all of these people die later?"

Chutby sighed deeply.

He asked Zhao Yi for a cigarette, but the latter promptly refused.

"I only have three left."

"You fucking...it's just a cigarette, isn't it?"

"Give me back a packet afterwards."

"Okay, hurry up, light it!"

He put the cigarette in his mouth, took a puff, and said helplessly:

"They didn't die, but they resigned."

Zhao Yi was somewhat surprised:

"Mass resignations?"

Why?

As the gunfire grew more distant, Chutby's eyes glazed over.

"Police officers are human too."

"Even if you risk your life, you can't do everything well."

"About seven years ago, or maybe eight years... I can't quite remember."

"During that hostage rescue operation, a major blunder occurred. It's unclear who provided the perpetrators with a wide range of lethal weapons, but not only were the hostages not rescued, many civilians and police officers in the vicinity were also killed in the explosion..."

"After this incident, the police station was thrust into the spotlight by public opinion."

"Many police officers who participated in this operation and survived were subjected to frenzied attacks by the public, with some even sending razor blades and rotting flesh to the hospital..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi smiled and said:

"Isn't this just a vicious cycle?"

Chutby remained silent for a long time.

"Yes."

"Sometimes, I wonder to myself, what is the meaning of what we do?"

Zhao Yi:

"Or perhaps we should put it another way... you're actually questioning whether these people truly deserve to be protected?"

Chutby didn't say anything, but took a deep drag on his cigarette.

The two were smoking.

After Zhao Yi finished smoking the cigarette, he finally spoke:

"Would you make the same choice as Sata?"

Chutby was somewhat depressed.

"have no idea."

"If I were in his situation, perhaps I would..."

He didn't continue speaking.

Chutby found it really terrifying.

I don't know when, but the once harmonious V City has become what it is now.

Everyone... was like a wild beast with blood dripping from its mouth.

Honestly, he didn't want to risk his life to protect such... a group of things.

"Is there anything that can change all of this?"

Chutby's tone was somber, indicating that he held no hope whatsoever.

Zhao Yi stared at the interior of the manor:

"There was once someone who, just like you, thought about how to change all of this..."

Chutby's eyes lit up slightly:

"And then?"

Zhao Yidao:

"He died later."

"Thanks to his death, you can see me now."

Chu Tebi didn't understand, but guessed that Zhao Yi might have some friends.

"He's an idealist too..."

With a long sigh, Zhao Yidao said:

"In the beginning, my ideas were very different from his."

"Almost the complete opposite... If I were in Sata's shoes, I would definitely make the same choice as him, but even more ruthless and insane."

I understood what Chutby said.

"You won't make that choice now, will you?"

Zhao Yi laughed.

Who knows?

boom!

As the two were talking, a violent explosion was heard from inside.

Flames erupted along with waves of heat, and the two hurriedly moved to the outside of the passage for cover.

As dusk fell, a fiery dragon burst forth from within!

It sprayed for more than ten meters before finally stopping!

Qutby, who had barely escaped, was still in shock and turned back to curse:

"Depend on!"

"Did he plant liquid explosives underneath?!"

The ground shook violently when the explosion occurred!

Chutby knew that the space below was almost entirely made of hard alloy, making it difficult for a bomb to actually destroy the secret base. However, the commotion it caused demonstrated just how terrifying the bomb's power was!

"What if all the people down there... are dead?"

A look of confusion appeared in Chutby's eyes.

Zhao Yi got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and ran towards the cover in the distance.

"Capital Man has his protective suit; this explosive won't kill him."

"Hide it quickly!"

The two went to a safe and secluded spot in the distance and hid there.

"Why haven't the military personnel shown up yet, given all this commotion?"

Zhao Yi spoke.

Chutby carefully watched the manor exit while shaking his head and saying:

"The military cannot intervene lightly unless a devastating disaster strikes the city."

"This is a treaty concluded by the three military regions."

"This is to guard against someone secretly controlling and manipulating V City."

Zhao Yi stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought:

"There are three military regions with different leaders... No wonder, no wonder."

If the lack of oversight in V City is due to a balance of power, then that would be the most normal situation.

"V City originally did not have a police station; it was only established later due to the high crime rate."

"The police station receives arms and equipment support from the three military regions on a rotating basis, but no one is allowed to interfere with the operation of the police station."

Chutebi was helpless.

Just as he was about to continue his rant, Zhao Queyi suddenly pointed to the exit in the distance and said:

"They're out!"

Chutby immediately focused his attention and looked towards the entrance.

A figure flew out from inside, rolled on the ground, and tumbled several times.

Judging from the equipment he was wearing, he was undoubtedly a capitalist.

"See what I told you?"

"The power of Onimusha Sata cannot be understood using normal human thinking!"

"Tonight, the 'Capital Hero' is most likely doomed!"

Chutby was very excited.

If Capitalist Man dies here tonight, the police station will have a much easier time from now on!

Zhao Yi slowly lit his last cigarette.

"The hand of fate has already rolled the numbers."

"There's no point in us speculating; let's just wait and see."

In the distance, Sata's imposing figure slowly emerged from the exit.

Using the flames from the burning building next to them, the two saw that Sata's body was charred black, with large areas of skin and flesh burned.

He walked with a steady gait.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have already fallen into a coma.

But Sata acted as if nothing had happened.

Zhao Yi guessed that he had probably undergone secret experiments by the military and had some strange substance injected into his body.

After all, capitalists have gadgets to enhance their bodies, so it's not surprising that the military would make some too!
