In the Imperial Palace, the small square in front of the East Courtyard was originally known as the "Sea of White Jade". Every year on the Emperor's birthday, countless celebrities, politicians and congressmen gathered to celebrate the birthday. But today, the white jade floor tiles under their feet seemed to have "waves"
”.
Or to be more precise, it was like being pulled repeatedly by a huge plow, forcibly disintegrating the neatly laid white jade floor tiles into countless fragments and stones, as if the whole thing had been turned upside down.
In front of the square, there are sirens blaring, piercing brakes, and flashing red and blue lights that overwhelm the sunlight behind the clouds above. This scene can be said to be the sacred place behind the Sakurada Gate in the decades since Emperor Demei ascended the throne.
The land was in unprecedented turmoil.
At this moment, the third investigation team, which had rushed to the parliament building early in the morning to support them, finally realized that they had been tricked by someone, and hurried back to defend themselves.
However, when they finally arrived at the scene, they were still a step too late.
For the people who witnessed this scene at the scene, when the floor tiles, gravel and dust crashed down like a frenzy, the originally fierce and terrifying battle came to an abrupt end, and the hearts of countless people felt like
It was lifted infinitely into the air and then suddenly lost all gravity and support.
It just hung there empty.
The battle is over?
Although most people's retinas have more or less captured the bloody scene of Marcus Rhine's head and arms being broken off in the rushing water.
But the battle between the two was so fast and abrupt that many people were not sure whether it was an illusion or a real scene.
If it's true.
One World Government decrees death on the Emperor's birthday.
The cold and skin-cutting meaning behind it represents,
It makes people shudder just thinking about it.
The most important point is
Where is the murderer?
died?
Escaped?
Or maybe they were buried together in this ruins
No one knows the answer.
For a moment, the security and guards who had returned from support and the personnel of the third investigation team nervously began to set up their defenses, their eyes fixed on the miserable white jade ruins.
In the corner of the ruined square.
One of the three seventh-level absolute power users in the Imperial Palace, Shifengyuan Yeya was previously defeated by the wind demon Ryusheng and was repulsed. At this time, he looked at the white jade ruins with a complicated expression.
Of course it was not difficult for him to guess that the Dragonfly captain had just been "swapped" and replaced midway.
If this were not the case, the strong man who could kill Marcus Rhine, the eleventh judge of the Judgment Division, would probably not have to spend so much time dealing with him.
But what is the other party’s purpose?
Is it really the ridiculous reason of "just trial" to offend Wano's high-level officials and a behemoth like the World Government?
The moment this thought flashed through Ye Ya's mind in Sifengyuan, he couldn't help but be slightly startled, with a somewhat self-deprecating look on his face.
yes
do not know when,
Justice has become a little ridiculous
With the cooperation of countless security personnel, the almost turned-over square in front of the palace was quickly turned upside down again.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight stretchers covered with white cloth were placed beside the ruins of the square - these were the bodies of politicians and congressmen who had been strangled by the shadow of Fuma Ryusei.
Among them, the body of Foreign Minister Taku Amuro is not complete, because his head was chopped off with a blow after Captain Dragonfly "left and returned."
It's just that the battle behind was too fierce, and the head rolled away without knowing where it went. At present, the identity can only be determined by relying on the fat and bloated body. The missing head is still being found.
In contrast, although Marcus Rhine's arms and head were all broken and separated by the Judgment of Heaven and Man, he was still relatively complete when he was lifted out of the ruins.
But this is not something gratifying.
At this time, the "stability maintenance" members of the inner cabinet and parliament who had always relied on the "friendly" relationship with the World Government as their political bargaining chip, everyone's face was as gloomy as a mourning concubine, and their hearts were filled with anger and hatred towards the World Government.
fear of coming wrath
This is very contradictory, but very realistic.
Although these "stability-maintaining" politicians and congressmen are proud of living in the country of Wano, standing above countless people, and their hearts are filled with the reserve of the upper class. However, subconsciously they know very well that everything they sit on needs to rely on others to maintain it.
National Security Council Chairman Tsuesaburo Yamaguchi was one of the few survivors of this "purge". He had no time to mourn the death of the leader, Foreign Minister Taku Amuro, and his eyes were fixed on the man who was almost turned upside down.
White Jade Ruins Square.
Suddenly, he grabbed the collar of the guard who was walking by, stared at him and almost roared, "Is this the end? Where is he? Where is that hateful murderer?"
In the final search, the guards and security personnel finally found the fat, blood-stained head of Foreign Minister Taku Amuro in a pile of rubble. Unfortunately, they never found anyone wearing a dark gold dragonfly mask or a politician or member of parliament.
A strange corpse outside.
Faced with the roaring questioning of Tsuesaburo Yamaguchi, the chairman of the National Security Council, the young guard swallowed his saliva and lowered his head nervously to report, "The captain has led us to search twice and found nothing."
Before he could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by Tsuesaburo Yamaguchi, "Just because you haven't found it doesn't mean it's not there. Just keep looking for it until you find it!"
"yes!"
The young guard lowered his head. He was just a guard who had only been on the job for a short time, not even a regular employee.
Looking forward to becoming a regular employee at the end of the year, how could he have the courage to talk back to these high-ranking politicians and congressmen, so he could only turn around and go back in frustration.
But at this moment, a pair of slender white hands suddenly pressed on his shoulders, chuckled and said, "There's no need to look for him anymore, he's gone."
When the young guard raised his head, his face suddenly became a little excited and he stood at attention and saluted.
"Ah! Team Leader Kimura."
As an ordinary security guard, a place like the Third Investigation Team was undoubtedly the holy place of his career. The person in front of him was unexpectedly Kimura Hakutaku, the acting leader of the Third Investigation Team after Tokugawa Ritora disappeared in Beihai.
In fact, Hakutaku Kimura's nonchalant words also attracted the attention of other "stability maintenance" members of the cabinet who had survived the disaster, and everyone suddenly turned pale.
Ran?!
Then who will bear the wrath of the Adjudication Division?
Thinking of the terror of that world government's violent organization, the chairman of the National Security Council Tsunezaburo Yamaguchi gasped twice, his face suddenly looked a little gloomy as he stared at Kimura Hakutaku's half-length cover in front of his forehead in the sun, and asked with suppressed anger in his tone.
road:
"You have been here today, why don't you go and help? Do you know how important the Rhine Tribunal is to us?! And our stability-maintenance MPs! Those are the backbone of our organization!"
Kimura Hakutaku listened carefully, and then explained in a gentle tone: "Sorry, I was patrolling the outer gardens of the Imperial Palace when the congressmen were killed. By the time I came over, the man had already started a battle in the field of speed, which was not something I could intervene in."
"So you just choose to sit on the sidelines?"
Yamaguchi Tsuesaburo obviously didn't believe it, and said with a cold face, "Don't forget, we are in the same boat."
His voice was neither soft nor serious, and he did not avoid the young guard next to him who had not left yet. The latter looked a little confused when he heard this.
Kimura Hakuto smiled at the young guard, turned his head, and said in a gentle tone:
"Although we are on the same boat, I have always felt that if one day more than half of the people on the boat fell into the water and drowned, the country might be saved."
"You!" Yamaguchi Tsuesaburo obviously didn't expect to get such a reply. He was so angry that he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
He knew very well that the man in front of him with half-long hair and a feminine temperament was not only the temporary acting leader of the third investigation team, but also a newly promoted seventh-level absolute ability user, with a prominent family background like the Kimura family behind him.
No matter what kind,
They are not things he can easily provoke.
In the outer garden of the Imperial Palace, you can wander under the river under the double bridge that is the only way to the main entrance of the Imperial Palace.
the lower reaches of the river,
A figure suddenly climbed out of the river.
The man covered his waist and walked quickly along the shadow of the willow trees on the shore. Soon, a small road appeared in front of him, and a black business car was parked on the side of the road.
The man approached and knocked on the driver's window, and the rear door quickly opened.
Dragging his injured body, Fuuma Liusheng climbed into the car with ease. However, when his eyes fell on the back seat and saw the man with a face as cold and hard as a glacier, his body could not help but stiffen slightly, and then he lowered his eyelids and said silently.
He sat down next to the man.
Onto Hanagasa, who acted as the driver, raised his head and glanced at the two people in the rearview mirror who seemed to be separated from each other by a mountain, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
Although the two brothers of the Feng Mo family are extremely talented, the younger brother has an unconventional personality and behaves eclectically; the elder brother is silent and tough, and behaves extremely steadily. The two brothers with different personalities usually get together less often and stay apart more often, but today it was rare that they bumped into each other in his car.
Got together.
After Feng Mo Liusheng got into the car, the black business car started and quickly left the land of weeping willows by the river.
A moment later, while the commercial vehicle was driving, Fuma Kotaro, the leader of the Night Fury Revolutionary Army and the current patriarch of the Fuma family, moved his eyes downwards and glanced at the pale-faced Fuma Ryusheng, whose waist and abdomen were stained red with blood, and was constantly leaking out from under his clothes.
Oozing blood.
He retracted his gaze and looked forward, and said calmly, "I thought you weren't that stupid."
Fuuma Liusheng, whose forehead was covered with beads of sweat, endured the severe pain from the blood hole in his waist. After hearing the other party's words, a smile appeared on his handsome and elegant face.
"I don't think I'm stupid."
Fuuma Liusheng narrowed his narrow eyes and said softly, "I said that if the assassination does not make the other party's crimes public, then it is just a meaningless murder."
Having said this, he paused and continued, "Today I go on stage as Crown Prince Renwen to tear off the ugly faces of those politicians and congressmen, so that ordinary people can understand the truth about the accident in Beihai. This is a meaningful assassination, not
?"
"Have you ever thought that your so-called meaning may very well put you in a situation of death." Fuma Kotaro's face was still cold and hard as ice.
He did not turn to look at his brother next to him, but said calmly, "And the people may not want to know the truth about what you said. Was it the death of Tokugawa Ritora that made you lose your mind?"
Hearing Fuma Kotaro's last words, Fuma Ryuso's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly, and some memories of his youth came to his mind.
The smile on his pale and handsome face gradually faded, and he said in a serious tone, "First, Tokugawa Ritora is just missing, no one can conclude that he must be dead; second, even if he is really dead, I think
His behavior has nothing to do with that tiger, and there is a third one."
When Fuuma Liusheng said this, his tone gradually softened, and a smile appeared on his pale face again.
"Thirdly, I did not die, and I also completed the mission and returned safely. Every time I think about the days to come, the first breath of air I take when I wake up in the morning is fresh air without those ugly politicians and congressmen, and I feel extremely happy.
"
There was silence in the car for a while, and Fuma Kotaro frowned, ignoring the scoundrel tone in his younger brother's tone, and said calmly:
"Deceiving oneself does not mean that you can hide it from everyone. As an eighth-level and third-level demigod-level celestial judge, you may be able to try to fight in ten years. But today, if the man you played had not really appeared, I am afraid that now
It would be difficult for us to collect your body for you."
Fengma Liusheng was exposed on the spot, and he was not embarrassed at all. He just lay back on the backrest and took a breath, "Then you can't deny that before that man appeared, I had completed the trial of those ugly congressmen in my inner moral court. It's just
I feel a little regretful that I did not deal with the Foreign Minister personally."
Onto Hanagasa, who was driving in the driver's seat in front, heard that the tone of the two Fuma brothers who were tit-for-tat every time they met seemed to be softening, and he couldn't help but ask:
"By the way, what is the strength of Captain Dragonfly who claims to be the 'New Tokyo Discipline Committee'? He is a demigod-level adjudicator in the third stage of the eighth stage. He will kill him when he says it. Tsk tsk, I didn't expect Wano Country to be so terrifying.
The presence."
After hearing Hanagasa Onto's words, Fuuma Ryusheng couldn't help but froze for a moment, and subconsciously recalled in his mind the figure that appeared without warning when he fell in the ruins of the palace where he had smashed a hole.
That man is different from Marcus Rhine.
Marcus Rhine, an eighth-level and third-level demigod-level ability user, is like a sun above his head, exuding his own light and power all the time, making people feel trembling just by looking at him.
However, the man behind the dark golden mask does not have the aura of a strong man at all. I am afraid that when he passes by you wearing the mask, you will not take a second look, just like the most ordinary passerby in the crowd.
After witnessing with his own eyes the scene in which that "ordinary passer-by" brutally killed Marcus Rhine, if Fuma Ryuso was forced to find a word to describe him at this time, then there were only two words he could think of - black hole.
Silent and breathless,
But it's also full of danger.
There was just one thing that Fuma Ryusei couldn't understand. Even in the battle in the Imperial Palace, the opponent displayed a rare "open" unrestricted field.
But [Field] should theoretically be completely powerless in the face of a higher-level force like [Rules], but the other party miraculously completed the counterattack.
Fuma Kotaro seemed to have guessed the confusion in the hearts of Hanagasa Wen and Fuma Ryuso. He pondered for a moment before slowly speaking:
"For assassins, there is no distinction between high and low levels of power in actual combat. It is only divided into power that can kill people and power that cannot kill people. That man obviously belongs to the former, but"
"But what?"
Hanagasa Onto who was driving asked curiously.
Fuma Kotaro replied calmly, "Conservation of matter means that there is no power created out of thin air in this world. If you want to defeat the strong with the weak, that man must have paid a heavy price."
"Will you die?"
Fengma Liusheng suddenly asked.
Fuma Kotaro glanced at his younger brother beside him, and after a moment of silence he said, "It should be a very difficult life."
The car that was driving smoothly suddenly fell into silence.
Such a like-minded man.
What a pity
at the same time,
In the main square of the palace grounds.
Higashinohara, who had just excused himself to go to the bathroom, returned to the queue at some point.
Some people say that the murderer always likes to return to the scene after committing a crime to admire his masterpiece.
Higashinohara didn't have such a quirk. He simply didn't have any extra physical strength in his body to support him to go home first. He could only change the clothes he brought with him today and return to the most dangerous and safest place, waiting for the arrival in the parking lot outside.
School bus.
At this moment, Higashinohara and others were looking at the ruined White Jade Square in the distance with the same gaze, and his face seemed to be full of nervousness and curiosity.
In fact, while he was slowly soothing her with spiritual healing, his consciousness was completely immersed in the manual of sin.
