Chapter 705: Su Han, are you cheating?

Su Han's return was merely a minor incident.

After a brief moment of surprise, the guild members calmed down and resumed placing the Cursed Children.

This building was found by Wugeng Liuli.

Its location lies on the outskirts of Tokyo.

It is very close to the areas corrupted by Gutters.

Precisely because this place is extremely dangerous, it is virtually uninhabited.

After arriving here, Wugeng Liuli used her Fallen Angel power to purify the surrounding environment.

Hou Jue Wo Ban, meanwhile, summoned the dead and giant wolves using divine authority, cleansing the surroundings again and again.

Although this place is very near the Gutter-corrupted zones, due to Hou Jue Wo Ban's efforts, the surroundings became utterly safe—even safer than central Tokyo.

As time passed, Wugeng Liuli and the others soon understood what Su Han's words truly meant.

In the hall.

Wugeng Liuli stared at the newspaper, took a shallow breath, her emotions clearly unsettled.

"Truly unbelievable! My Lord, I'm now genuinely curious—what exactly did you do back then?"

Loki picked up an apple and bit into it, glancing casually at the newspaper, a look of surprise crossing his face.

"This policy shift regarding Cursed Children! It's far too drastic—it even feels theatrical!"

The newspaper's policy adjustment changed from complete indifference toward harming Cursed Children to an unprecedented reversal, placing them under legal protection.

Arbitrary harm to Cursed Children is now punishable by execution, and offenders are exiled to live within the Gutter-corrupted zones.

It may not look like a death sentence, but in reality, it is far more cruel than death.

Ordinary people could never survive in the virus-corrupted zones outside Tokyo.

This sudden political shift was initially ignored by the lower-class commoners.

But soon, a large number of adults who disregarded the policy change were arrested and personally tried under Tōdō Kikunosuke's supervision, then exiled.

Tokyo Live Station even broadcast footage of these adults fleeing in panic as Gutters hunted them down, finally being consumed helplessly.

This video was aired without any concealment.

It directly informed all residents of Tokyo's unwavering resolve to enforce this protection law.

They were not joking.

Yet this action, while terrifying all Tokyo residents,

also caused panic and fear to spread throughout the city, triggering widespread unrest.

Of course, these... unrests were forcibly suppressed under Tōdō Kikunosuke's iron fist.

If it were only Tōdō Kikunosuke alone, he might have struggled to contain it.

But with nearly all of Tokyo's high-ranking officials added in, the situation changed entirely.

Even under this harsh policy, though the tension remained high, the status of Cursed Children in Tokyo had indeed undergone a dramatic transformation.

If previously ordinary residents treated Cursed Children with disdain, now they avoided them at all costs.

And all these changes occurred within just a few short days.

Hou Jue Wo Ban's expression remained calm and silent as he resumed his daily ritual of summoning giant wolves to cleanse any potential Gutters nearby.

Ichinose Masamune rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke with solemn gravity.

"Suppression isn't necessarily good... Tokyo is now like a powder keg! A single spark could trigger an explosion."

Ichinose Masamune held no optimism; instead, he was deeply concerned.

Although the plight of Cursed Children had changed, he sensed the Tokyo residents were now even more repressed.

Under these conditions, if it doesn't erupt, fine—but if it does, it will be an event beyond imagination.

It could cause the entire situation to spiral out of control.

If order collapses completely, the Cursed Children's situation might become even worse afterward.

"Leave this to me!"

Wugeng Liuli thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Negative emotions—I'll purify them myself."

Su Han paused his movement, nodded silently, and said nothing more.

In truth, Su Han felt Tōdō Kikunosuke's use of such brutal methods must have a follow-up plan.

He never underestimated this old man.

Though Tōdō Kikunosuke was aged, his political wisdom was absolutely not to be dismissed.

Regardless of whether Tōdō Kikunosuke had any... follow-up plans, with Wugeng Liuli's help, he could now breathe easier.

Wugeng Liuli left and spent an entire day traveling every corner of Tokyo, purifying countless... ordinary residents' negative emotions.

Even as a seasoned general, after completing everything, Wugeng Liuli nearly collapsed from exhaustion.

Yet precisely because of Wugeng Liuli's actions, the situation officially shifted.

Public resentment in Tokyo was instantly reduced to its lowest level.

Even Tōdō Kikunosuke, who had prepared for resistance, was caught off guard.

But Tōdō Kikunosuke swiftly seized this opportunity.

He rapidly had the Tokyo government issue a policy to adopt Cursed Children.

And he heavily promoted this policy across the world.

This move attracted attention and goodwill from many Cursed Children.

Some even believed enough to cross the corrupted zones themselves, hoping to live in Tokyo.

"... Cursed Children crossing regions will likely suffer heavy casualties."

Su Han frowned; having paid attention to the current situation, he now urgently sensed the circumstances were far more complex than he had imagined.

After a moment of thought, Su Han immediately closed his eyes and entered Daolegong Society.

Ti Qie Hui Li: "The President and the others went to the Black Bullet world! They haven't shown up in the society these past few days."

Tony Isn't the Richest: "It looks like the President and the others are busy! But it's something worth considering."
