"Damn it! Why didn't you say you were going to mobilize the SAT troops earlier?"

The deputy minister cursed inwardly, feeling increasingly regretful. How could a police officer who wanted to fish in troubled waters cope with such harsh treatment? If he remained unmoved by the punishment, the consequences would likely be more than just an internal reprimand.

He forced a smile through the fat on his cheeks as he walked towards the SAT leader. In terms of rank, he was probably on par with the other person, or even above. He smiled and extended his hand to the leader. Judging by the rise and fall of her special bulletproof vest, she was probably a woman.

"It's rare to see a woman in charge of S Police."

"Hello, I am Nohara Kazuma, the commander-in-chief who has been ordered to surround and monitor the Shinrikyo's dojo."

"I remember... this wasn't the order you received."

As Ji Ye finished speaking, hundreds of SATs behind him raised their guns and pointed them at the defenseless Chiba Prefectural Police in front of them.

The sound of guns being loaded was uniform, and the dark and murderous automatic firearms were connected into one.

Deputy Naganohara Kazuma retreated in horror, looking at the countless black gun muzzles in front of him in fear. He was being pointed at by a gun again.

The Chiba Shinrikyo dojo is relatively remote. Yet, given the commotion, bystanders inevitably flocked to the area. Their eyes were filled with curiosity and fear. Such a terrifying confrontation would hardly be seen in a film or TV series.

Some brave people have already raised their mobile phones and started secretly filming within the maximum range supported by the mobile phones.

"Your orders are to immediately mobilize the Chiba Prefecture police force, storm the Shinrikyo dojo, rescue the hostages, arrest Kira, and search for evidence of the Shinrikyo's crimes..."

Ji Ye said word by word, "But in the twenty minutes since we gave you the order, you haven't taken any action."

"This is blatant disobedience and a missed opportunity. Just seven minutes ago, the Anti-Magic Public Security Force entered the venue and found no trace of Kira."

"In other words...because of your disobedience and inaction, Kira has escaped from the Shinrikyo dojo."

"Is there anything else you want to explain?"

Through the one-way goggles, Himeno immediately spotted the dangling silver bracelet on the hand of his former subordinate, Hayakawa Aki. He didn't know exactly what had happened, but... Kazuma Nohara truly deserved to die.

Holding a gun, she moved closer and closer to Nohara Kazuma.

I don't dare to really kill him, but with the power of Miss Makima and Breeze, I can intimidate these high-ranking police officers who are just sitting there doing nothing.

"You and I……"

Kawasaki Mikio's face turned the color of liver. "Facts aside, you have no right to punish me! You've crossed the line!"

In fact, when you think about it, there is no logic in what Ji Ye said. The idea that Kira is hiding inside the dojo is a false proposition. There is no way to confirm this fact. It is more like a pretext for high-level political games.

When Japanese people do things, no matter how disgusting their purpose is or how inflated their ambition is, there must always be a reason.

Kawasaki Mikio should have figured these things out. But facing a gun that could threaten his life at any moment, his thoughts suddenly became confused. Because... what Himeno said was indeed the truth!

He didn't think he had done anything wrong, and didn't seek credit, only to avoid mistakes. He sought stability as much as possible while preserving his political survival. Who could have known that things would develop to such a serious level?

I regret so much!

"Put down your guns, everyone! Anyone above the rank of inspector will be arrested immediately and await punishment later!" Yang No waved her hand and ordered SAT behind her to go forward and arrest the man.

"No! You can't do this to me! I shed blood for the Director, I shed tears for Chiba, you can't do this to me! I want to see His Excellency the Minister!"

Kawasaki Mikio struggled and shouted, but he could only stare blankly at the SAT troops rushing towards him, stripping his gun and holding down his hands. The dignified police inspector was being controlled without any dignity.

Miss Makima's order was the most important, and Himeno had no time to stop and reminisce with Hayakawa Aki.

After instantly taking over the situation here, he led the SAT troops behind him to rush towards the gate of the dojo. After stopping his men from requesting to smash the door lock with guns, Himeno summoned a ghostly shadow behind him and pulled out the iron rod stuck in the door handle.

With a gentle push of his hand, he walked in openly.

As soon as I entered the room, even through the thick tactical mask, I could still smell the unpleasant smell of blood. It was hard to imagine how many people's blood had to be pooled to create such a bloody smell?

Ji Ye didn't dare to think about it.

She raised her hand, gesturing forward.

The professional SAT troops immediately occupied every corner of the dojo's front hall and advanced forward in a steady and orderly manner.

As soon as he reached the corridor, even Ji Ye felt like vomiting. The reason was simple: it was simply too horrific. Corpses were piled up in all directions, their damage so severe that it looked like they had been hit by a tank and howitzer, with not a single body remaining intact.

Even the space in the corridor looked like it had been swept by a tornado, with wood chips and stones scattered all over the ground.

"Shoot again."

Ji Ye ordered coldly.

The black tactical boots quickly stepped through this bloody hell, and then came to the second gate, behind which was the intensive sound of gunfire from the SAT police.

The first level was a bloody hell, and the second was apocalyptic hell. Everywhere I looked, I saw scattered crystals of apocalypse. The concrete floor was dotted with dents and holes of varying sizes, as if struck by artillery shells.

All the SAT police officers present showed shock under their goggles.

What the hell is going on? The blood before was understandable, but how to explain these pieces of apocalypse crystals?

They were human too, and could understand the twists and turns of the higher-ups. They were probably bluffing about the scandal and Kira's arrest, while the crackdown on the Truth Church was real. But obeying orders was their nature as special police officers, and there was no reason to question it.

But the strange scene before him confirmed that the Truth Church was secretly conducting experiments related to the Apocalypse Virus, and it was the most inhumane human experiment. The shattered crystal humanoid figures on the ground were the best proof.

The real SAT commander stepped forward and came to Himeno's side: "Ghost, I need to report this matter to the Superintendent."

"Of course, if the Shinrikyo in Chiba is like this, the situation at the Minami-Aoyama headquarters is probably even more exaggerated." Ji Ye's face was serious. The Apocalypse Virus had almost become her nightmare. The scene of Kusunoko Tsuruta falling into the sea was still vivid in her mind.

Although it was unclear how far the Shinrikyo had progressed in their research on the Apocalypse virus, even the slightest risk of this kind could not be tolerated. If that happened... Tokyo, Japan's most prosperous city, would instantly become a living hell.

"Everyone, watch your feet and surroundings. Don't get scratched by the crystals! Remember to shoot back when passing by the crystal monster corpses!"

Ji Ye waved his hand, and assigned another team to stay behind and immediately head towards the last door.

'Please, don't get into trouble.'

Ji Ye prayed silently in her heart. As Miss Makima's deputy, her long-term contact made her the person who knew Miss Makima best besides Light Yagami.

Miss Makima seems to be indifferent to human life, and this indifference does not distinguish between good and bad, right and wrong.

To put it simply, it means - "Killing you is none of your business."

When humans step on an ant to death, they don’t care whether the ant is good or bad in the tribe.

This was generally how Ms. Makima felt about human life. Himeno also knew how important Light Yagami was to Ms. Makima. If Light Yagami died in this accident, it was hard to say if Ms. Makima wouldn't take her anger out on the ordinary police officers in Chiba.

If that happens...it will be a massacre.

'How can we restrict Makima?'

Such a bold idea grew in Ji Ye's mind.

"Is she really on the side of Japan and the law?"

It is obvious that Kira's problem has not been solved yet. We have spent so much police force and material resources but still cannot catch Kira's clothes. Now we have to start making contingency plans in our minds in case Makima gets out of control.

Even Ji Ye herself felt that her emotions were a little too overwhelming, but such a contingency plan had to be made.

From her contact with Makima, it seems that Makima has the following three abilities.

Controlling people's thoughts, will, and soul; resurrecting the dead; and releasing a shock wave with the power of a tank shell when saying "Bang". These are the only three things that Himeno knows about at the moment.

At the moment, the only way is to kill Miss Makima before she can exert her control ability. During the ten seconds after she is resurrected, send ground personnel to suppress her with chains... This seems easy at first glance, but no one can guarantee the extent of Miss Makima's control ability.

There is only one chance. Once the intention to target Miss Makima is exposed, everything will be over.

With his mind in a trance, Ji Ye arrived at the last empty area of ​​the stadium. The level of tragedy here was even worse than before.

The empty clothes were soaked in a thick and sticky pool of blood, without a trace of flesh and bones; the crystals of apocalypse scattered on the ground looked as if they had been forcibly demolished; the originally regular cement floor had been exposed to potholes under the influence of an unknown force.

Cruel and evil.

The fifteen survivors were huddled in the corner, shivering. When they saw the policemen wearing black armor with the word SAT printed on them arrive, they finally burst into tears of joy.

Further away, a woman with short black hair was seen squatting in front of Light Yagami's "corpse", with a short blade in her hand stuck in Light Yagami's chest, as if stirring something. Almost the moment he saw it, Ji Ye raised his gun: "Stop! What are you stirring?!"

"Ji Ye, put down the gun."

Ji Ye looked in the direction of the voice. Miss Makima wiped her hands expressionlessly and walked slowly towards the crowd. After saying this, she ignored Ji Ye and walked straight towards Light Yagami.

The short-haired woman tilted her head slightly, allowing Hime to clearly see her face. It was Ryougi Shiki. She waved her hand, letting SAT down her guard. With Miss Makima's presence, it meant all potential dangers had been resolved.

Ji Ye pulled the safety of his gun, ordered his men to ask the survivors for details of the incident, and walked forward.

"Liang Yi, how is Yue Jun doing?"

Makima crouched down, looking at Light Yagami, who lay on the ground, his face as pale as gold. His arms and legs were covered in penetrating wounds, and his usually clean and tidy clothes were now thoroughly stained with blood. Now, Ryougi Shiki had torn them open, revealing a toned-down physique.

The wound had been oozing blood, but thanks to Ryougi Shiki's emergency treatment, it seemed to be improving slightly. At least the slightly seeping blood was no longer purple.

"It's not good." Ryougi Shiki said with a serious face, and the short knife was inserted into the center of his chest.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

But at that time, it was Nishimiya Glass who was lying on the ground, and the person standing next to him and asking questions was Yagami Light. Now, the person lying on the ground has become him.

After hearing the survivors' stories, Ryougi Shiki also figured out what had happened. When Nakagawa Tomomasa was about to start a massacre, it was Yagami who stepped forward, paying the price of being seriously injured and on the verge of death, and successfully delayed the arrival of himself and Miss Makima, saving the lives of fourteen people behind him.

Ryougi Shiki isn't good at solving trolley problems, but when faced with a choice between fourteen lives and Light Yagami's, she chooses the latter without hesitation. Even if it means carrying the weight of responsibility and fourteen souls!

"Yagami... is too gentle. That's why he's in this situation."

"It is difficult for gentle and correct people to survive in this world."

"When he sent me a distress message, he chose to stand up for ordinary people. He trusted me so much, trusted that I would arrive before he fell... If I had been a step later, Ye Shen would have died here."

This trust was heavy, as weighty as Mount Fuji. But the more it weighed on her, the angrier Ryougi Shiki grew. Why in this world, could those rotten, evil people so arbitrarily take the lives of others, while those who were gentle and righteous struggled to survive?! Humans, why do you hurt humans like this?

Ryougi Shiki couldn't convince herself with any words. If she could turn back time, she would probably kill them while they were still human, before the apocalypse monster was born. She felt no pity or hesitation in killing them.

Those who hurt Ye Shen...

"Unforgivable."

Under the gaze of the Mystic Eyes of Death, the lines of death on Light Yagami's body were far too dense, a condition only experienced by a severely wounded and near-death person. The implication was that no matter how hard he chopped, if he hit, just one strike away, Light Yagami would die.

At this moment, Ryougi Shiki felt that the short blade in her hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

"Really? If Kira was as easy to kill as you, the police wouldn't have pursued him this far..."

Ryougi Shiki thought to himself as if to find joy in suffering. With one hand, he pressed down on Light Yagami's strong upper body muscles, and with the other hand, he raised the short blade and slashed his arms and legs twice.

The bandage made from her torn kimono was wrapped around Light Yagami's wound. After she cut it twice, the blood finally stopped seeping out.

She said to Makima, "If we had been a little later, I'm afraid it would have been too late."

"I have completely killed the Apocalypse Virus in Ye Shen's body, and I have also given emergency treatment to the wound. From now on... he will recover after resting for a while."

"In other words, if the Chiba Prefectural Police had chosen to go out immediately upon receiving the order, Yue-kun... wouldn't have been seriously injured like this."

"The timing matches. At least by the time the county police assembled, these monsters hadn't been born yet."

Because she could sense death and see the end of the line, Ryougi Shiki was also very sensitive to the presence of life, and could roughly sense when Nakagawa Tomomasa would transform into the apocalyptic monster. In other words, if it weren't for the rotten and corrupt top brass of the prefectural police, this crisis could have been avoided.

"I see~ It seems the Chiba Prefectural Police are no longer necessary."

Makima nodded, turned her back to Jiye and said, "Jiye, go call the person in charge of this operation from the Chiba County Police."

Ji Ye's heart trembled, but he did not say a word of disobedience. He nodded respectfully, turned around and walked out of the dojo.

In just a moment, the paunchy Kawasaki Mikio was tied up, his hands cuffed with SAT special bracelets, and he staggered to the center of the broken field.

At this moment, Kawasaki Mikio was furious. After all, he was a superintendent, a high-ranking official in the police system. He was sure that no one present could be higher in rank than him, yet he was being treated like a prisoner.

Even if it was the police against demons, even if it was the anti-terrorism SAT, even if it was the game of high-level officials... could he disregard hierarchy and brazenly overthrow his superiors? Such behavior was tantamount to trampling underfoot the order of "superior to superior and inferior to inferior" that he cherished as his life.

"Asshole! Are you the commander-in-chief of this operation? Are you the person in charge of the Anti-Demon Public Security? Let me go! Do you know what this means?"

"Is there any order left? Is there any law left?"

"I want to see the Superintendent of Police. I want to report your evil deeds to him!"

The atmosphere in the dojo was strangely dull, and none of the SAT officers obeyed his orders. They silently watched Kawasaki Mikio perform on stage like a clown, their guns lowered.

"Because of your mistake, Kira escaped the encirclement; because of your mistake, two ordinary people died and one was seriously injured and dying; because of your mistake, a large amount of important evidence was destroyed by the Truth Cult members..."

"Inspector Kawasaki, until now, do you still think that there is nothing wrong with you?"

Listening to Makima's calm words, Ji Ye's heart was slightly relieved. At least now Makima seemed to be willing to abide by the law. Although the most important charge of "Kira's escape" was fabricated.

They hadn't been sure from the beginning that Kira would be at the Shinrikyo dojo.

"Stop joking! Don't think I don't know that you're abusing your power under the pretext of arresting Kira! Just three untouchables, two dead and one injured, can you do this to me? My punishment is decided by the higher-ups, and it's not your place as a section chief to resort to lynching here!"

"Really... You're clearly strictly enforcing the law to your subordinates, yet you're using it to seek personal gain, never taking the law seriously. At this point, you're still thinking of relying on the law to protect yourself?"

Beneath the mask, Makima showed a cold smile.

With a golden light flashing in her eyes, she slowly raised her hand, raised her index finger to make a gun shape, and pointed it ten centimeters above Kawasaki Mikio's head.

“Bang——!”
