Chapter 115: That

Even if laws are enacted, can they stop the discrimination against the Cursed Children?

Can vague statutes or propaganda alone drive the implementation of the New Gastrointestinal Organ Law?

——WHAT A JOKE!!!

In this world, there exists a metal called Kobalt, discovered by humans accidentally during the Gastrointestinal War, a metal capable of stripping Gastrointestinal Organ creatures of their regenerative abilities.

It's ridiculous, yet such a coincidence exists.

But based on this, humans gained the possibility to fight the Gastrointestinal Organ creatures, and built walls using massive amounts of Kobalt to form "Monoliths," enclosing the last remaining human lands with Kobalt's magnetic field to isolate the Gastrointestinal Organ creatures and allow humanity to survive.

The Monoliths are towering rectangular black metal walls, 1. 18 kilometers high and 1 kilometer wide, like mountains, erected at regular intervals according to magnetic field effects, sustaining humanity's pitifully small settlements.

They loom constantly in people's sight; over ten years, they have become part of their lives—so long as they wake each day and see the Monoliths still standing, they feel a sense of security.

Yet at the same time, they feel like livestock trapped in a cage, barely clinging to life within this tiny patch of land, still dreaming of one day reclaiming their lost territories, choked with frustration and bitterness, new unease rising within them.

They vent this unease upon the Cursed Children, upon those weaker than themselves.

Prejudice in human hearts is like the Monoliths.

As long as these stones remain, standing firm and unshaken, the discrimination and hatred rooted in their hearts toward the Cursed Children will never vanish or be reconciled.

"Ha. Reconciliation?"

Jia Ji clenched his fist and let out a cold laugh.

"Do you think it's that easy? Even if those people want to let the Cursed Children go, I have no intention of letting them go!"

Are the things they did before just to be laughed off? Let them stand as forgiving overlords, mingling with the Cursed Children they once persecuted?

No!

"Without doubt, they are all perpetrators."

Miss Ye Ji, who inherited the position of head of the Toudou family after her entire household was wiped out, suddenly became Tokyo's foremost wealthy woman, seemingly recovered from that day's breakdown.

She maintains the elegance of a young lady on the surface, yet cannot hide her doubt: "With just the few of us, we can't possibly kill all those dog breeds, can we?"

As if influenced unconsciously by Jia Ji, even this beautiful girl now constantly spouts crude phrases like "kill" and "dog breed," as if her overzealous sense of justice had awakened, becoming utterly ruthless against evil.

In the New Gastrointestinal Organ Law they drafted, the first article states: "Protect the human rights of the Cursed Children; anyone who harms them shall suffer equal retribution."

In short: an eye for an eye, a life for a life.

This clause was forcibly added by the spiky-haired man beside her; neither Holy Emperor nor Toudou Kikunosuke objected—they all voted unanimously. Though Miss Ye Ji had wanted to say, "This feels a bit too extreme," Jia Ji silenced her with one line: "Then they just shouldn't harm the Cursed Children, right?"

Even Renju clearly knew such a thing was impossible.

Perhaps, even now as they speak, somewhere in a hidden corner of Tokyo, a Cursed Child is being attacked by someone enraged by the law's passage.

Such scenes are happening right now across Tokyo.

Every Cursed Child could be the next victim!

"Can't kill them all?"

Facing Toudou Mugi's doubt, Jia Ji shook his head. "I don't believe they can't be killed."

The man who possesses super-fast technique rotation, zero-frame initiation, instant kill on first sight, malice detection, and aura concealment—Jia has slashed through hundreds of people across two streets since yesterday, without a single moment of rest, not even closing his eyes.

The extraordinary stamina unique to the BeiDou Superhuman allows him to kill for seven days and seven nights without issue.

A hero never ignores fools.

How can one hone the Dao-heart if one doesn't kill the fools?

If you're a man, you must become stronger for something.

"Fine, I'll go with you too."

With her inner turmoil resolved, Toudou Mugi made decisions with greater decisiveness and speed.

"Wait—wait a minute!"

The one who suddenly spoke was Toudou Mugi's friend—the young lady who holds the inheritance rights to Tokyo's most renowned weapons company, Sima Heavy Industries—Sima Weizhi.

She was a beauty with long, glossy black wavy hair tied into twin tails at the back, dressed in a brightly colored furisode kimono, holding an iron fan, embodying the fusion of classical and modern beauty.

Yet now, this girl steeped in Eastern aesthetics used her iron fan to cover her face, hiding her expression—only her slender, snow-white arms trembled uncontrollably.

She, who had always been at odds with Mugi, had been invited to "Toudou Civil Security" to discuss urgent matters; she had assumed her old enemy had surrendered, only to stumble into a tiger's den and hear such horrifying talk.

The Holy Emperor, Toudou Mugi, the great evil who destroyed the Toudou family and the National Assembly—all gathered together, discussing how to carry out a massacre and eliminate everyone who discriminated against the Cursed Children…

"Ugh, I just want to go home."

Faced with the nearly tangible murderous aura radiating from the terrifying masked man, and the overwhelming stench of blood still clinging to him, she could barely maintain her usual fake smile, swallowed hard in nervousness, her heart screaming—she's going to kill me!

After killing the Toudou family last night, the Holy Emperor brought the terrifying masked man to the government; before the senior officials even realized what was happening, Jia had shattered them or struck their vital points, and now the entire government was under her control.

Only then could the law be announced within a single day.

"I have an idea… um, why not have the Civil Police enforce the law? Tokyo has thousands of units—if the government issues official tasks with proper rewards, I'm sure they'd be happy to help…" Though terrified, she was the only one here who could prevent more bloodshed—Sima Weizhi had to summon the courage of a CEO's daughter.

Clap. Clap. Clap.

Jia Ji clapped his hands, generously praising: "That's an excellent idea. Thank you for reminding me—I forgot about them. Then let's start by killing the corrupt elements among the Civil Police."

Plop. Sima Weizhi's folding fan dropped from her hand, revealing the terrified face hidden behind it.
