Chapter 111

"National Diet Building Attacked by Criminals"

"Seitenshi-sama Missing, Whereabouts Unknown"

"Cabinet Councilors Almost Entirely Wiped Out"

Whether it was newspapers, television, or the internet, everything was reporting on this incident. The information was overwhelming, with all kinds of first-person perspectives, on-site footage, and interviews with passersby. Large swaths of frantic discussions flooded every forum.

And this earth-shattering event was indeed worthy of such attention.

The Defense Force, Self-Defense Force, Security Corps, and Civil Security—all forces were mobilized just to catch the perpetrator.

Slap!

A palm slammed onto the table, the powerful force causing the ebony table, which was as large as a grand piano, to shake twice.

"Who on earth is it! To have such audacity to do such a thing! It's truly..." That hand was very white, somewhat sickly, slender, and one could see the blue veins inside through the skin; it was clearly that of a young girl.

"Yes, who on earth could it be?"

Just as she was preparing to criticize something further, a low voice suddenly sounded in her ear, and a ghostly, tall black figure emerged silently from the shadows.

"... Mmph, mmph."

The next second, a large hand like iron pincers firmly covered the girl's mouth. With a strong arm and terrifying muscular strength, he completely ignored her desperate struggle and resistance, and then only a light "crack" sound was heard. Before the terror in the girl's eyes could dissipate, her body went limp and collapsed.

"So this is the 'Tendo Civil Security Company' you mentioned, Lanyuan Yanzhu?" The owner of that large hand was none other than Jia Ji, who had broken in to commit an improper act against the girl.

"And she is that 'big-chested meme sister' you talked about, right?"

He pointed again at the person he had just knocked unconscious with a hand strike—this was Tendo Kisara, the president of this company.

The girl in a deep sleep was about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a black, professional sailor uniform. A head of jet-black, beautiful long straight hair hung down to her waist. She possessed skin as white and smooth as fine snow, a slender figure, and delicate features.

But Jia Ji could notice that her complexion seemed overly pale, possessing a kind of sickly beauty.

"Yes, that's her!"

Beside Jia Ji, little Lanyuan Yanzhu, who had her twin tails tied firmly with hair ribbons, stuck her tongue out at the unconscious Miss Tendo Kisara and nodded.

"Good, then let's stay here for now and formulate the next plan."

Jia Ji moved the unconscious girl to the side, sat on the leather-upholstered office chair, scratched his hair, and removed the metal mask from his face. He took a few deep breaths, allowing his hot body, which had been tense for so long, to gradually cool down.

He was reflecting, reflecting on the fact that he had killed too quickly just now.

It resulted in the bill to protect the Cursed Children not being passed before he had already sliced people into piles of fragments. It was truly a bit impulsive and hot-headed, eventually even turning into an act of venting anger.

However, this couldn't be entirely blamed on him; after all, before personally experiencing and contacting people in this world, no one knew it was like this.

They actually stood up one after another to provoke him; it was completely contrary to common sense that not a single person begged for mercy until he had killed them all.

Backbone?

It wasn't that kind of thing.

It was just that their brains were broken.

As expected of a world so retarded that it would treat children as consumables, the stubborn idiots with brain problems were blooming everywhere, and the discrimination against the Cursed Children was simply deep-rooted.

If a certain Ice Queen were here, she would probably complain about whether he killed too fast, resulting in no one having time to beg for mercy before they were all dead.

But there's no question, if Jia Ji were to do it again, he would still thoroughly disinfect these filth and completely annihilate them.

Because the more this was the case, the more it proved that he could not save the Cursed Children by any other means.

What to do? Only kill!

"As expected, it's not something that can be solved so easily..."

The implication of this was that, as expected, there was no way to solve the matter by just killing this many people.

Not long after his massacre, urgent alarms and footsteps sounded outside the building. Relying on his extraordinary hearing, Jia Ji could judge that at least 120 fully armed soldiers holding firearms were preparing to surround him from every corner, while further away, several times more people were gathering.

Although for a successor of the Hokuto Shinken, guns were just firewood sticks, but thinking of little Lanyuan Yanzhu who was waiting obediently outside because he said "I'm going in to handle some business and will be right out," Jia Ji decided to retreat for the time being.

After all, no matter what, he couldn't let a child see the bloody scene of a massacre; it wasn't good for her future physical and mental development.

Pushing open the damaged door, the soldiers who entered first had pale faces, cold sweat dripping, and their bodies trembling so much that they could barely hold their guns. They didn't find the intruder, but they saw...

—【Hell】

Death was originally a common thing in this era, but now it made all the soldiers who rushed over feel horrified, their lips and tongues dry, their hair standing on end, and feeling like they were sitting on pins and needles... The group of people who had held the supreme power of this region not long ago had now turned into a blurred mass of mixed flesh and blood.

Everywhere were incredible, massive wounds, and foul-smelling blood flowed like a river, as if it had been ravaged by some terrifying monster.

And Jia Ji, who had left long before they arrived, casually knocked away a dozen unlucky soldiers and immediately took the bewildered Lanyuan Yanzhu away.

If you ask how he managed to walk out swaggeringly from the heavy encirclement that followed and hasn't been caught yet?

Well, you see, Hokuto Shinken is, after all, a fist art used for assassination...

"To explain it in words you can understand, it's that I walked into the blind spot of others' vision and erased my own presence... After that, I came here to re-formulate the plan according to Lanyuan Yanzhu's suggestion."

Wait, you?

Besides Lanyuan Yanzhu and the unconscious Tendo Kisara, was there anyone else present?

Yes, there was one more person, the only trophy Jia Ji brought back from that scene.

—The Seitenshi, the supreme leader of the Tokyo Area.

Although he didn't know why this Tokyo Area would give its head of state such a title, and it had to be a beautiful and pure young girl.

But, the young girl before him, covered from head to toe in filthy blood, was indeed worthy of this title.

Having watched the plot, Jia Ji of course knew that she was indeed a rare good person in this world, a truly great person who was trying to change the current environment and attempting to create a new world for the Cursed Children, and also the only person at the council scene who shouldn't have been killed.

The so-called "New Gastrea Law" that grants human rights to the Cursed Children, which was the one he just mentioned, was the one she was the first to propose and constantly strive to promote. Because she had noble aspirations and was supported by the public, her goal was to hope to find a way for the Cursed Children and the Gastrea-ravaged generation to coexist.

And the young girl who had been suddenly kidnapped and brought here was now staring intently at the brutal criminal who had just said he wanted to push for the enactment of the bill, yet suddenly started a massacre at the council.

The Seitenshi bit her thin lips tightly, using too much force due to the overly complex emotions and the shocking reality, causing the lip flesh to be bitten open, from which drops of blood with the taste of iron seeped out. Finally, she squeezed a sentence out from between her teeth with difficulty.

"Who... exactly are you?"
