However, as time went on, their behavior gradually went too far, eventually escalating into a full-blown terrorist attack.

Bomb schools, bomb libraries, even bomb TV stations and government buildings!

In the past year alone, at least a hundred schools have been bombed by anti-intellectual cults, and even teachers at those schools have received death threats from the cults.

It was precisely because of the terrorist attacks by the anti-intellectual cult that tens of thousands of students were unable to continue their studies and had to transfer to schools in other areas.

For example, Yoshikage Kira.

He could have attended a public school, but now he can only attend an expensive private school.

This is all thanks to anti-intellectualism.

Regardless of their motives, anti-intellectual cults are always terrorists, secretly plotting one terrorist attack after another.

The various actions of the anti-intellectual cult are undoubtedly disrupting the peaceful life that Yoshikage Kira has been trying to maintain.

Chapter 18 Today was another peaceful day.

"Kira-kun."

Kitagawa Kaimu was startled by the sudden turn of events and instinctively turned her gaze toward Kira Yoshikage.

Kira Yoshikage withdrew his gaze, as if he hadn't seen anything, and calmly said:

"We should go, keep up."

The man's spine had been broken by the Queen of Assassins, and he would be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

So he could only lie on the ground, waiting in agony for the police to arrive.

Once the police discover the idiot's eye symbol on the back of his hand, they will know that he is a member of the Anti-Intellectual Cult and can guess that the Anti-Intellectual Cult planned the attack. They might even be able to follow the clues and arrest other Anti-Intellectual Cult accomplices through him.

Even if the Japanese police are highly skilled, they should already be on their way.

The job of cleaning the floor can be left to the police.

Hearing Kira Yoshikage's calm tone, Kitagawa Kaimu felt a strange sense of peace and nodded obediently.

At this point, there were not many people left in the venue, but the exits were still completely blocked.

But Yoshikage Kira still managed to clear a path through the crowd, leading Kitagawa Kaimu and the other two away from the exhibition hall and to the plaza outside.

Looking at the crowd scattering and fleeing in the square, Yui Yuigahama was somewhat at a loss:

Where should we go now?

Yoshikage Kira kept his eyes fixed on the crowd passing by and began to speak:

"Leave here first, cross the street, don't go to the subway station."

Just like at the exhibition hall, the subway was packed with people, and there was still a possibility of a stampede. Moreover, given the recent explosion at the exhibition hall, nearby subway stations might not remain operational.

In comparison, wide roads are actually safer, and you might even run into the police on the way.

Furthermore, in Yoshikage Kira's view, the bomber most likely arrived by subway.

Japan's subway system has no security checks, so even if a bomber brazenly carries a bag full of bombs and takes the subway to the exhibition hall, no one will question him. Given the extent of his madness, if he could "deploy" a time bomb at the exhibition hall, he might very well have planted bombs in the subway station beforehand.

If that were true, then probably none of the people in the subway station would have survived.

As for Kitagawa Kaimu and her two friends, having narrowly escaped being killed by a bomb, they now have a blind trust in Kira Yoshikage. Even if Kira Yoshikage says he wants to return to the exhibition hall, they will still follow him, despite their fear, especially since leaving by the roadside seems like a reasonable option.

Accompanied by the piercing siren, a police car with red and blue flashing warning lights mounted on its roof sped past.

However, just as Yoshikage Kira had expected.

The police did not attempt to screen passersby for criminals, not because they did not want to, but because they could not.

Hundreds of thousands of people visited the exhibition hall, while the entire Tokyo police force only numbers around 40,000. It was simply unrealistic to try and control everyone present and conduct a thorough search. All they could do was rush to the crime scene to cordon off the area and begin their investigation.

Kira Yoshikage stopped in his tracks, watching the police cars speeding past on the road:

"Kitagawa-san."

"Ah, I'm here."

Kitagawa Kaimu, who had been somewhat lost in thought, snapped back to reality and looked up nervously.

Kira Yoshikage stared intently into the girl's eyes and calmly spoke:

"Don't tell anyone about what happened today."

"it is good."

Kitagawa Kaimu hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice with some hesitation:

"Kira-kun, can you tell me why?"

Kira Yoshikage withdrew his gaze from the girl and said in a completely calm tone:

"Because it would make things complicated, and I hate complicated things."

"I see."

Kitagawa Kaimu was silent for a moment, then nodded solemnly:

"I will keep it a secret and will not tell anyone."

She wasn't stupid. Kira Yoshikage hadn't even touched it, yet he could tell at a glance that there was a bomb hidden inside the frog doll. Even though the bomb exploded right in front of her, it didn't cause any harm. None of this was accidental; perhaps it was because Kira Yoshikage had some kind of special ability.

This could be a superpower often found in fantasy novels, or it could be something else entirely.

Kitagawa Kaimu was curious, but she knew even better that if it weren't for Kira Yoshikage, she would already be a mangled corpse. So what she needed to do wasn't to investigate Kira Yoshikage's secret, but to keep it a secret for him.

“I will keep it a secret too,” Miura Yumiko immediately agreed.

"Me too," Yui Yuigahama said in a slightly nervous whisper.

Yoshikage Kira withdrew his gaze from the girls and glanced at the security guards who were maintaining order.

Unsurprisingly, the police should be able to spot the anti-intellectual cultist at the exhibition hall, and their attention will be drawn to him.

And passersby like them will definitely be easily ignored.

Good, another peaceful day.

-----------------

Although the efficiency of the Japanese police has never been high.

However, the police still gave the bombing, a serious crime, the utmost attention.

Nearby police arrived at the scene immediately and, while sealing off the exhibition hall, tried to maintain order.

The hospital also dispatched an ambulance immediately, which entered the exhibition hall to treat the injured after the police confirmed it was safe.

Therefore, when Yumihara Saki arrived at the scene with her superior Terada Tokunosuke, the exhibition hall had already been sealed off.

Medical personnel were also carrying stretchers to put those injured in the bombing into ambulances.

Terada Tokunosuke showed his identification, crossed the cordon, and asked a nearby police officer:

"Did you find anything?"

Terada Tokunosuke had only asked casually, not expecting to get any useful information from the officer. However, to his surprise, the officer he questioned nodded with an unusually serious expression.

"Have."

Terada Tokunosuke was stunned for a moment, then he heard the police officer speak:

“We found a member of an anti-intellectual cult at the scene.”

"Anti-intellectualism?"

Yumihara Saki, who was following behind her boss, had a slight change in expression.

She initially thought it was just a simple bombing, but it turned out to be related to an anti-intellectual cult.

The nature of it becomes completely different!

To outsiders, the Anti-Intellectual Cult is nothing more than a purely terrorist organization, whose members are a group of extremely fanatical religious believers that "thinking is a trap and knowledge is poison."

But Saki Yumbara's work allowed her to learn more information than others—for example, the purpose of the Anti-Intellectual Church was not simply to oppose thinking and education, but to eliminate supernatural phenomena through this method.

Although their goal was to eliminate supernatural forces, it completely contradicted the principles of their Fourth Division. Moreover, regardless of the circumstances, the Anti-Intellectual Cult's actions constituted outright terrorism…

While Yumbara Saki was still lost in her memories, Terada Tokunosuke said in a deep voice:

"Get him to the hospital immediately, we must save his life no matter what!"

“I will personally take him there.”

With a serious expression, Yumbara Saki volunteered.

Regardless of the anti-intellectual cult's true purpose, this person is their only clue at the moment.

His safety must be guaranteed no matter what!

Chapter 19 Can you please not talk to me?

on Tuesday.

Shuchiin Academy, mixed-use school, first year, class C.

At 8:40, before the first class of the morning, Yoshikage Kira arrived at the classroom.

Kira Yoshikage returned to his seat, and before he could even sit down, Kitagawa Kaimu, with her long, flowing golden hair dyed a gradient pink at the ends, took the initiative to walk up to him and greet him in a very open and generous manner.

"Good morning, Kira-kun~!"

Kira Yoshikage glanced at her and replied:

Good morning, Kitagawa-kun.

Kitagawa Kaimu braced himself against the desk, leaned close to Kira Yoshikage, and asked with concern:

"Kira-kun, did you find a job?"

"No."

Yoshikage Kira shook his head slightly.

Jobs are not easy to find, especially for students.

"I see..."
