After all, a metal jet that can easily penetrate hundreds of millimeters of armor can easily penetrate nearly a thousand millimeters when hitting concrete. My entire body is only a little thicker than that, so even if I were to pile up the frontal armor of a tank, I could still be easily penetrated...

Of course, with the enhancement of the potion, Su Su can run.

But no matter what, the first generation knights who only used some berserker drugs were obviously unable to resist firearms, so once the encirclement was completed, Haruta Masayoshi would either surrender or be shot to death.

I don’t know if Haruta Masayoshi can realize this.

Or...he didn't think that the berserk drug could really make him resistant to bullets?

023. The Third Reinforcement and the First Casualty

As we all know, NHK is the fastest responding among the six major TV stations in Japan.

Of course, you don’t need to name the slowest one to respond, right? The Tohoku Radio, which canceled the food drama and broadcast the earthquake warning 15 minutes later than NHK?

Anyway, as a person who has lived in Japan for so many years, Su Su has a deep understanding of the broadcasting speed of East Radio. When five of the six major radio stations were broadcasting earthquake disasters and early warning alerts, East Radio was still broadcasting Goro's comfortable expression while enjoying delicious food.

Perhaps it was only when Japan sank and the water flooded the studio that Radio East realized its mistake and reacted...

But joking aside, NHK's quick reaction to the news is indeed not an exaggeration. Shortly after the third knight joined, Su Su vaguely heard a buzzing sound coming.

Soon afterwards, a black and white news helicopter with the conspicuous NHK logo painted on its body flew over from the horizon and flew straight to the scene where the three knights were fighting.

With his excellent eyesight, Su Su could also see a camera sticking out of the open hatch, locking onto the area below.

"...Just let the media broadcast it live? There weren't any control measures or anything like that?"

With the arrival of the helicopter, the people at the back who could not directly watch the scene no longer wanted to crowd forward, but instead took out their mobile phones to watch the news. Su Su, who had been squeezed at the front, now squeezed to the back against the crowd and also took out his mobile phone to watch the news.

Su Su planned to see how the media reported this incident, and...

Will this news report be deliberately dealt with in the end?

To be honest, the fact that three first-generation knights could start a fight in such a bright city was beyond Su Su's expectation. Su Su originally thought that this matter would be regulated soon and the news reports would be blocked. After all, through Huajianyuan, Su Su had reason to suspect that the extraordinary people were definitely organized and powerful.

But judging from the current situation, those supernatural organizations don’t seem to care about being “exposed”?

Or...

The extraordinary organization is not as strong as he thought it was. When faced with such a sudden public event, he actually has no ability to deal with it.

I have to say, this attitude is really thought-provoking...

Touching his chin gently and watching the live news broadcast, Su Su raised his eyebrows slightly.

......

In fact, Hattori Yukichi had also thought about the same things that Su Su was thinking about on the way here.

For example, why would a hidden supernatural being suddenly appear and commit crimes openly? Why are there supernatural beings fighting, but no one comes out to stop them?

as well as......

Where did this belt that can transform a person into an extraordinary person come from?

The warning from the extraordinary person that night clearly showed that extraordinary forces do exist, so why did we turn a blind eye to it?

If I join the battle this time, it will be tantamount to completely revealing my identity. How will I be treated then?

All these questions lingered in Hattori Yukiichi's mind, leaving him puzzled.

But these questions will eventually have to be considered slowly in the future, and for now...

"Humph--"

With a muffled groan, he blocked the kick in the chest from Haruta Masayoshi with his arms, then Hattori Yukichi stumbled back a few steps and hit a wall behind him.

The most urgent task at the moment is obviously to find a way to resolve Springfield Justice.

By now, Hattori Yukichi had to admit that even if he and the young man named Hirano Shunichi joined forces, they were clearly no match for Haruta Masayoshi - in terms of fighting skills, although he had undergone professional combat and grappling training, the fighting style that Haruta Masayoshi had developed in actual combat since he was a child was obviously not to be underestimated; and in terms of strength and speed, Haruta Masayoshi was obviously far superior to both of them.

Hattori Yukiichi could even be certain that if Haruta Masayoshi had not had any intention of killing them and only wanted to defeat the two of them and then escape, their situation would definitely be much more miserable than it was now.

But why would Haruta Masayoshi go easy on the two of them?

thump—

He dodged slightly to avoid the flying large pieces of rubble, and looked at Haruta Masayoshi who was mercilessly pressing the back of Hirano Shunichi's head and hitting him madly with his knees and elbows. Hattori Yukichi immediately corrected himself.

No, Haruta Masayoshi only showed mercy to his own men, but he did not hold back at all on Hirano Shunichi.

But why? He is a policeman, and he should be the one who needs to deal with the criminal the most, but he...

While thinking in his mind, Hattori Yukichi did not move rudely at all. He took a deep breath and rushed over to help Hirano Shunichi out of the situation.

Under the coercion of Hattori Yukiichi, Haruta Masayoshi released his grip on Hirano Shunichi, who escaped and staggered to the ground, his mouth and nose full of blood, blood oozing from his eyes, and he lay on the ground gasping in pain.

"Springfield Justice! You have no way to escape. Your only choice now is to surrender yourself. Believe me, the law will definitely give you a fair......"

After rescuing Shunichi Hirano, Hattori Koichi did not continue to attack, but also retreated slightly, stood in front of Shunichi Hirano, and then tried to continue to persuade Haruta Masayoshi with words.

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Haruta Masayoshi.

"Pooh!"

Spitting out a mouthful of thick blood foam and looking at Hattori Yukichi who was in a defensive posture, Haruta Masayoshi grinned, revealing his bloody gums. With his cracked mouth and face full of scars, he grinned a terrifying smile.

"Mr. Officer, please stop bragging. You must have felt this power. Do you think those mortals can catch me?"

"The reason why I didn't do anything is because you and those police officers are not within my jurisdiction, and..."

His eyes slid down slightly and fell on the belt around Hattori Yukichi's waist. Seeing Hattori Yukichi taking a few steps back vigilantly, Haruta Masayoshi smiled even happier and more ferociously.

"Moreover, you are a bunch of fools. You can't even use the gift from God properly. With your weak bodies and weak wills, how can you be compared with me who has already realized my true nature!"

"Since you still remembered to save the innocent people from being affected by our battle, and you still have a sense of justice, I will let you see it for yourself."

"A gift from God..."

His smile became more and more arrogant, ignoring the fact that Hattori Koichi was tense and looked like he might attack him at any time. Haruta Masayoshi shook his neck, then put one hand on his waist again with a relaxed expression.

"This is how it's used! Overload! Full flow!"

Click——

The belt pushed, and pain far beyond imagination continuously flowed from the whole body into the brain, as if every fiber and every cell in the body was being torn in half, causing Haruta Masayoshi's spirit to almost collapse. However, along with this tearing feeling, there was also an incredible sense of power. If the first push made Haruta Masayoshi feel that he had evolved from an ant to a human, and the second reinforcement made him become the strongest among humans, then this third push...

It breaks through the shackles of human beings, and the essential changes in life occur again!

"Uh-"

The intense pain made Haruta Masayoshi unable to help but scream loudly. However, along with the roar, under the shocked gaze of Hattori Yukichi, a layer of crystal clear, resin-like liquid was silently oozing out from Haruta Masayoshi's pores, wrapping Haruta Masayoshi and his belt. Then, this layer of liquid quickly condensed and took shape after coming into contact with the air, turning into a thin layer of white armor that covered Haruta Masayoshi's entire body!

"this......"

With his eyes wide open, he watched in shock the changes happening to Haruta Masayoshi, and for a moment, Hattori Yukichi lost the ability to speak.

Belt... can it be used like this?

"Ha...ha...Mr. Policeman, see? This is the true use of the gift from God! If you are only satisfied with being stronger than your peers and stop moving forward because of fear, how can you be worthy of this power from God!"

As the armor was completely formed, the pain that penetrated deep into his bones receded like a tide. Although the remaining phantom pain in his nerves still made Haruta Masayoshi feel as if his whole body was twitching, the ecstasy that seemed to come from the evolution of the essence of life made Haruta Masayoshi easily ignore the remaining pain.

Then, looking at Hattori Yukichi who was still in shock, Haruta Masayoshi smiled contemptuously. The white armor on his body showed Haruta Masayoshi's facial expression without any hindrance as if it were skin.

"Okay, I've told you how to use the gift from God. Now, Game-Over!"

His figure instantly turned into a residual shadow, as if in just a moment of distraction, Haruta Masayoshi had appeared behind Hattori Yukichi. Hattori Yukichi realized it later and hurriedly tried to turn around and continue fighting, but what caught his eyes was Haruta Masayoshi standing beside the fallen Hirano Shunichi, slowly raising one foot.

"Do not......"

Subconsciously, Hattori Yukichi stretched out his hand to stop something, but with Haruta Masayoshi's contemptuous expression, Hattori Yukichi was unable to stop it and could only watch Haruta Masayoshi step on Hirano Shunichi's head.

puff-

As if it was as easy as a sumo wrestler crushing a watermelon, Haruta Masayoshi, who could only beat the two men until they vomited blood before, now easily crushed the head of Hirano Shunichi, who was still lying on the ground groaning. Then he bent down, reached out and pulled off the belt from the still twitching corpse, and looking at Hattori Yukichi, who was stunned because of the blood and brain tissue fragments splashed on his face, Haruta Masayoshi grinned and flicked his fingers at Hattori Yukichi.

"Well, what's the matter, Mr. Policeman--"

024. Public Extraordinariness [Thanks to the book friend Feng for the reward]

"Emergency report: An emergency situation broke out in Kita-Ayase. Three people with superpowers were fighting in the Kita-Ayase # block, causing damage to several houses..."

"The police have blocked the relevant blocks and said the specific situation needs further investigation..."

"NHK exclusive report, the closest eyewitness to the battle between superpowers..."

"TBS reports for you..."

"TV Asahi reporter exclusive interview with Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department..."

"...From a distance, we can see that the bodies of the dead superpower users have been taken away..."

"...One of them was confirmed to be a police inspector of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. The reporter is trying to contact the Metropolitan Police Department..."

"..."

The chaotic television reports and the hot news that attracted nationwide attention seemed to have made "superpowers" the most concerned topic among the Japanese people in an instant.

The advertisements in the window displays on the streets were all replaced by the ruins of the battle scene. The news anchor read the script in his hands with suppressed astonishment. The passers-by who were still unaware of the situation stopped to watch the display screens on the street with shocked faces...

Although some people still disdainfully thought it was just another rumor when they first heard the news through the Internet or friends, it was only when countless television media began to report on it and various videos and photos were circulated that people suddenly realized the truth.

It turns out everything is true!

There really are people with super powers in this world!

Boiling -- apart from this dream, no other words can describe the current situation. Both the media and the public seem to be boiling. People are shocked at the existence of people with super powers, angry at the official concealment, terrified at the destruction caused by people with super powers, and also revel in the joy of discovering the truth.

Even though it was just a battle between three superpowers, even though the actual death toll in this battle was only one, the scope was limited to a few streets, and the damage caused was only a few buildings, but...

When the video footage shot by a Hong Kong news helicopter from high altitude of Miona (three or four people) with super powers Xaki easily smashed concrete with her fists, kicked her opponent dozens of meters away, and collapsed a house with her body was played, no one would think that this was a trivial matter.

Because that is the superpower - the symbol of absolute violence and power that humans yearn for, which is engraved deep in their genes!

It has to be said that the situation after the first generation of knights was exposed far exceeded Su Su's imagination and anyone else's imagination. At this time, the only "police knight" whose identity could be identified was naturally pushed to the forefront.

Through the omnipotent media, the public soon learned the true identity of the superpowered person, a police inspector of the third division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division 1, whose father was the deputy commissioner of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Superintendent Hattori Renya. (Deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Department is a position, while superintendent is a police rank - but superintendent is both a position and a police rank)

There is no doubt that under normal circumstances, the media would be more or less restrained in reporting on such a big shot. But at this moment, under the surging public opinion, let alone restraint, the media have already begun to block the entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department waiting to interview Hattori Koichi.

Faced with these media, the Metropolitan Police Department could neither let them in nor drive them away, and finally a spokesperson could only come out to explain - since Inspector Hattori is involved in the investigation of the case, he is temporarily unable to accept interviews. Please be patient, and the Metropolitan Police Department will hold a press conference after the case is closed, and then all the facts will be explained in detail to the media and the public.

The Metropolitan Police Department seemed to have said this, but it also seemed as if it had said nothing. The only thing that could be confirmed was that the Metropolitan Police Department had obviously known about the existence of people with super powers for a long time - so public opinion became more and more turbulent, and all kinds of rumors began to fly around.

But in fact......

"How did things turn out like this? Now, let's talk about the press conference. I'm going to the National Security Council for questioning. You have to figure out what to do about the press conference..."

Inside the Metropolitan Police Department, listening to the angry yet tired voice on the other end of the phone, Hattori Renya sighed and nodded silently.

"I understand, Director. I will take care of the media. As for the committee..."

"I've already talked to the chief of police. He knew about your son's situation from the beginning. This time... he will help us, but you have to handle your side yourself!"

"That's good... Thank you very much for this time. I've caused you so much trouble. I..."

"It's good for you to know! Humph... But remember to do a good job of publicity for your son - no matter what, the Metropolitan Police Department is playing a positive role this time, so don't confuse this key point. Also... how is Koichi's injury?"

"Fortunately, the doctor said there was no internal damage, and the boy himself said he was fine."

"That's good. Well, I'm going to answer the committee's questions."

"Then I won't bother you anymore. Thank you, Mr. Director..."

Click——

Hearing the sound of the phone being hung up, Hattori Renya let out a tired sigh of relief, then leaned back in his chair.

The person on the other end of the phone was his boss, the Superintendent of Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. It must be said that the way things had turned out was beyond anyone's expectations. No one in the Metropolitan Police Department could imagine why the murderer, who had been deliberately hiding his whereabouts and acting sneakily, would suddenly display his superpowers in public.

Isn't he afraid that those intentionally hidden supernatural forces will punish him?

You must know that after integrating all the information, the top brass of the Metropolitan Police Department finally speculated that the supernatural forces were deliberately hiding themselves, and it was very likely that those who exposed the supernatural forces would be dealt with, and related information would also be blocked and covered up.

But right now...

He rubbed his temple and picked up a cigarette from the drawer. When Hattori Renya touched the lighter, he thought of his son's words. His hand paused, but he finally lit the cigarette in his mouth.

This matter...
