Chapter 116

"Hey, do you know what happened?"

The one who said this was the initiator of the Mishima Royal Guard, Ikuma Shougen, who grabbed a thin initiator beside him and asked roughly.

He ranked 1584th in the IP ranking established by the 'International Initiator Supervision Organization (IISO)', a powerful character in the top 1% of the more than 700,000 existing civil security combinations. He was burly, had messy orange-yellow hair, a fierce look in his eyes, wore a mask with a skull pattern, and carried a huge steel sword on his back.

Following him was an expressionless girl with short, yellowish hair, but she had two braids that reached her shoulders. Although she had a pair of black-and-white eyes, she vaguely exuded a cold aura. She wore a long-sleeved dress and leggings in steady colors, as well as matching shoes.

That was his partner initiator, Senju Kayo, who possessed dolphin genes. Her combat ability wasn't strong, but she was very smart, with an IQ of 210.

Rarely, they were a combination where the promoter was the main force and the initiator was the auxiliary.

"No, I don't know." The civil security officer he grabbed shook his head repeatedly. He was wearing a well-made suit and didn't look like the type proficient in combat, so he naturally couldn't resist his violent behavior, and the little loli about ten years old following him didn't mean to help him at all.

Looking around, the room was full of such combinations, initiator plus promoter. Most of the adults held Varanium weapons that bloomed with black metallic luster, and beside these civil security officers, every one of them had a little loli of Yanzhu's age standing there. Their eyes were all beautiful red pupils like gems.

Responding to Seitenshi's request, these civil security officers rushed over from all parts of the Tokyo area in batches, but no one knew what major event required gathering so many of them.

According to rumors, they were gathered to commend those among them who had made outstanding contributions to the safety of the Tokyo area, to distribute rewards, and to issue some kind of excellence certificates. It was even specifically stated in the requirements that there was no need to bring their own initiators.

It was just that this last requirement was basically ignored by the civil security officers.

Slap!

The door was pushed open.

The last person arrived. His figure was tall and strong, not inferior to the martial arts-style Ikuma Shougen. He was empty-handed and wore a metal mask, but what was even more eye-catching was that no "initiator" was seen beside him.

In this chaotic hall, the stifling atmosphere that made people unable to breathe appeared along with this person, and everyone couldn't help but quiet down.

And facing these civil security officers, the masked man who arrived at the very top slowly closed his eyes, as if these civil security officers, who were famous and feared in the Tokyo area, didn't exist at all.

"Beating, abuse, torture, intentionally sending initiators to their deaths, fraud and extortion..."

He seemed to be muttering something, but no one could hear the specifics.

Although some among the civil security officers were purely auxiliary roles, most were types proficient in combat, ruthless characters who risked their lives to fight Gastrea, and their tempers weren't exactly good.

Among the more than 700,000 civil security combinations existing in the world, there were certainly those who strictly followed their principles and had good combat awareness, but there were also militants who wanted to find a place to go wild and criminals who wanted to find an identity to hide their crimes, including many hooligans.

The monitoring and testing of the IISO organization were sometimes ridiculously loose, a hundred times higher than the pass rate of any Hero Association, focusing on "come and you're in."

Just when some of the hot-tempered guys among them had their patience exhausted and were about to break out, Jagi opened his eyes, a blue fierce light flashed, and he pointed them out one by one as if ordering food.

"Ikuma Shougen... Tajima... those whose names were called, leave. You are not needed this time."

"What did you say?"

"Are you playing with me? Bastard!"

They were specifically gathered here, and in the end, they were driven away without even being told what to do. Who could endure this?

Ikuma Shougen was naturally one of them. Angry hot blood rushed to his head, making him ignore the ominous signs that were becoming thicker on that person.

"Wait, Mr. Shougen..." Senju Kayo held back her promoter. As someone with special abilities and a super-high IQ, she keenly sensed something wrong. Intuition told her that it was best not to anger the man in front of her.

Sure enough, the few people whose names were called fell to the ground immediately the moment they rushed close to that man, clutching their stomachs and twisted arms, and let out painful howls.

Ikuma Shougen's steps stopped in mid-air. His pupils constricted, and he couldn't help but feel a little lucky.

Except for a few initiators with animal genes who possessed excellent dynamic vision, no one at the scene saw clearly what happened.

"Please."

Jagi pointed to the door, and threw those poor guys curled up on the ground out one by one. But this time, no one dared to attack him again.

Then, he looked at them one by one with eyes like a hawk.

"Water Shadow Heart"—it was indeed worthy of being the secret technique that the previous generations of Beidou considered most suitable for him. Under Jagi's recent high-intensity operation, it was almost about to evolve. He only spent a few seconds reading the thoughts of everyone else.

Combined with the report organized overnight by the Seitenshi government, Jagi reached a simple and crude conclusion. Except for the few people he just invited out and the Cursed Children at the scene...

——Half of the people left in the room deserved to die!!

Bastard civil security officers, kill without mercy!

……

Soon, the sound in the room gradually quieted down.

Jagi changed to another place, snapped his fingers, and shouted to the outside: "Next!"

……

"Just how many people did you kill!" Miss Sima Weizhi, who was responsible for cleaning up the mess, shouted at him in a breakdown.

"So what."

Because of his actions, at least a thousand more Cursed Children had nowhere to go in two days.

Cursed Children who lost their promoters would be looked at with colored glasses again, treated like rats crossing the street by everyone. The best outcome was to be caught back by the IISO for repeated torture, and the worst outcome was to be driven to the outer area, where the erosion rate of the Gastrea virus in their bodies would rise above 50%, turning them into mindless Gastrea, and they would be ruthlessly killed by other civil security officers who rushed over.

However, since he had done it, he naturally wouldn't ignore it. Seitenshi had already unified their management, providing accommodation and food, and there would be arrangements later.

"Well, strictly speaking, those I killed can't be counted as human, but scum..." Jagi replied righteously, holding up two fingers and gesturing, "And it's not much, just a little bit."
