Chapter 1036: , Ganges Superman!

Morning light poured down from the eastern mountain ridge like a bolt of unfurled golden silk, spreading over the valley of Kouga Yue and the excavation site where bulldozers had stripped away the surface layer of the ruins.

Nanko Taro stood at the edge of the wreckage, the hem of his trench coat fluttering lightly in the morning breeze.

His right hand slowly rose, and the Sun Stone Belt at his waist, revealed in the light, blazed with radiance!

"Verification!!!"

The dark red gemstone began to glow under the sunlight, starting as a faint warm hue, then igniting like a spark, bursting outward from its center in blinding crimson-gold rays.

The light stretched through the morning mist into a straight, corona-like ring of radiance, illuminating the entire valley.

Nanko Taro's body was completely engulfed by that light—fabric, skin, and bones all restructured into another form within the radiance.

At the final instant of the light's explosion, a black figure with dark green armor patterns emerged from the glow—Kamen Rider BLRX. Sunlight struck his large crimson compound eyes, reflecting two scorching points like stars.

"I am the Son of the Sun! Kamen Rider BLRX!"

Vikram let out one final roar, his tiger claws gouging two deep trenches into the ground as all four limbs surged forward, launching himself at RX. Oh Great Brahma above, this enemy is worthy of battle!!!

And when Kuuga and Agito's motorcycles approached, the smoke and dust from the explosion had already risen from the excavation site of the Kouga Yue ruins.

Boom~~

"Oh no?!" Agito reacted instinctively.

"Got it!" Kuuga's response was completely different.

The two rushed to the vicinity of the Kouga Yue ruins and quickly saw that the temporary worker sheds in the excavation area had been overturned halfway by the shockwave, several small excavator buckets lay overturned on the ground, and the warning lines were torn into strips, hanging askew on the tilted posts.

In the originally exposed strata, the dark gray ancient structures—stone foundations laid with massive blocks, pillars carved with unfamiliar characters, and that circular platform resembling an altar—had already been more than half buried under soil and rock flung up by the explosion.

Smoke and dust continued to rise from the cracks in the strata, and the air was thick with the smell of scorched earth.

"You came too late."

Nanko Taro stood at the edge of the blast zone.

He had already detransformed, the hem of his deep gray trench coat lifted by the airflow from the shockwave, fluttering slightly, but his stance was steady, as if he had lost something.

"Minami Chairman!" Kuuga shouted.

Nanko Taro's right hand gripped Vikram's skull, his five fingers sinking deep into the already largely shattered dark gray fur.

Vikram's body went limp, dragging his limbs across the ground and leaving two shallow trails, his eyes tightly shut, his breathing so weak it was barely perceptible—he had reverted to human form, a twenty-nine-year-old man of Indian descent, his bare upper body riddled with bullet holes, burns, and split skin, like a model half-disassembled and hastily reassembled.

Nanko Taro dragged him a few steps, then stopped when Kuuga and Agito arrived.

He gave a slight nod toward Yusuke Godai and Shouichi Tsugawa: "The rest is up to you to handle!"

The half-dead Indian was flung toward Kuuga and Agito, Nanko Taro gestured for them to come over, the roaring helicopter approached and dropped a rope ladder, and the Chairman of the National Public Safety Commission leapt onto it, shouting: "hisy? BLRX, u!" After saying that, this guy took off running.

"All taken care of—notify Ikki San to come collect the body……oh no, to make the arrest." Kuuga detransformed, returning to the form of Yusuke Godai, and gave Agito a thumbs-up with a grin.

"Easier than I imagined." Agito also detransformed: "Hey, did you see that just now? Yusuke, that thing the Uesugi Chief had—what was it? It felt……really scary!"

"Dunno, but Shouichi, think about it—Uesugi-san is a descendant of Uesugi Kenshin, so it makes sense he'd have something like that, right? Like……Bishamonten's Sword?" Yusuke Godai didn't dwell on it inwardly: "Anyway, no matter what, the Uesugi Chief is definitely on our side!" "If you say it like that, it's not a problem." Shouichi Tsugawa nodded: "But this Indian guy actually knew about this place……" Yusuke Godai didn't respond.

His gaze fell into the depths of the ruins, to the spot where the altar had been blown open.

He crouched, brushed aside a rubble stone, and in the dirt revealed a segment of dark gray patterning—this pattern resonated instantly with the spirit stone on his body, then vanished.

He replaced the rubble, stood up, and told Shouichi Tsugawa: "Don't look. This seal shouldn't have been opened in the first place." "Haven't you already dealt with all the Ancient Ones here by yourself?" Shouichi still wondered: "Didn't you blow up Daguba……" "Then don't open it again—bottom line……this is what Ikki San said, so we'd better listen to him." Yusuke Godai spread his hands, admitting he wasn't good at overthinking complex matters, but he wasn't curious either.

"True enough."

A few minutes later, the first wave of National Public Safety Police vehicles arrived at the scene.

Then came the Special Investigation Division patrol cars, followed by the Aichi Prefecture Police Headquarters transport vehicle and Forensics Division personnel.

Okada Masayoshi stepped down from the command vehicle, his face worse than at midnight.

He hadn't slept all night, the blue-gray under his eyes as dark as a bruise.

Having come this far, things had actually already been screwed up!

Over twenty police officers injured! Nagoya had over a dozen officers down, Kashiwagi Jin and several officers from the First Unit were also hurt, and in the Special Mission Division, Ikeda Erena, Kai Toru, Date Nagamune, Maeda Toshihide, Igarashi Hayato, and Asō Kōta—half the division was out of action!

Just thinking about this, Okada Masayoshi's face turned utterly grim.

This is the first time I've ever served as on-site frontline commander, and I ended up like this?

And Nango Yui, who didn't deploy, was even paler—this Kyoto University graduate's melee and shooting skills aren't outstanding, he's relieved he didn't have to go in personally, yet feels a bit ashamed.

But, Okada Masayoshi actually handled this somewhat well.

He only learned afterward that the Nagoya Police Headquarters had leaked word, causing Fuji and Chubu News and other media to already know the operation's exact location and approximate time, so they'd prepared in advance nearby, aiming to get firsthand material!

This is probably why Vikram sensed the leak and prepared ahead of time.

Moreover, the scene had live broadcasts and all kinds of footage, which fully proves one thing—it's not that our Japanese police aren't trying hard, it's that the Ganges has a Superman!

Our police really did their best, D—those Ganges Superman types don't even fear bullets, what can our police do with their little pistols? On the contrary, at least Ikeda Erena and others put on stellar performances, right?

Okada Masayoshi walked up to Yusuke Godai and Shouichi Tsugawa, briefly exchanged a few situation updates, then arranged personnel to seal off the entire ruins area.

Vikram was lifted onto a dedicated prisoner transport vehicle, its interior walls reinforced alloy, the doors with two independent locks, and the windows bulletproof glass.

He lay on the floor of the prisoner vehicle, his body wrapped in several restraint straps, wrists and ankles fixed to ground anchor points.

But it seems these measures were unnecessary, since this guy is completely paralyzed.

The other three Indian accomplices—the Elephant Person, Lion Person, and Cheetah Person—were each placed on separate prisoner transports.

Worth noting: the Elephant Person and Lion Person are still alive, found respectively at the entrance of an abandoned factory, already detransformed after being beaten down. As for the Cheetah Person, he's completely dead—no way around it, Kuuga went a bit too hard, his body blasted to pieces.

The Cheetah Person's remains were sorted and packed into black body bags, the zippers pulled tight and sealed.

Aichi Prefecture Forensics Division personnel were on site taking photos, collecting samples, marking casings and evidence, but everyone remained quiet.

No one chatted, no one discussed the case.

Uesugi Muneyuki was already standing at the edge of the ruins before the National Public Safety Police sealed off the scene.

He exchanged greetings with Yusuke Godai and Shouichi Tsugawa, but both sides tacitly said nothing, just observed the scene—Mai Xuejie hadn't come, she had to go back to sleep.

"Uesugi? You came pretty fast!" Okada Masayoshi, seeing the scene nearly cleaned up, was surprised to find Uesugi Muneyuki there: "Did the Public Safety people send you over?"

"I guess so." Uesugi Muneyuki peered out from behind a few National Public Safety Police officers: "How's the situation over there?"

"They've all been sent to the hospital, Kai and Date are seriously injured, the others will be better." Okada Masayoshi let out a long sigh: "Who could have predicted... something like this would happen? What on earth is going on with this guy?"

"I don't know about this either." Uesugi Muneyuki's facial muscles twitched a few times as he lied: "I'll check again when I do the autopsy... but, Okada, the trouble has only just begun."

"I know." Okada Masayoshi's face looked very unpleasant.

It's been broadcast!

It's all been broadcast!

The Ganges Superman withstood bullets all the way and took down countless police, the footage was seen by the whole world!

The pressure that the Japanese police and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will have to face next... is easy to imagine!

Huh?!

Okada Masayoshi thought of this and suddenly felt less distressed.

Since things have come to this point, next, it seems like it's none of my business?

"You're right, Okada, you don't need to face those problems you can't solve or enemies you can't defeat." Uesugi Muneyuki patted Okada Masayoshi's shoulder with a smile: "The rest, leave it to me, the National Police Agency, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

"I'm just a forensic pathologist, I don't have the strength to withstand bullets like this Indian Superman. What I need to do is make things clear, make it clear whether he really killed Sarina Hirate, and what exactly happened that night."

Uesugi Muneyuki turned and walked toward his familiar Toyota Corolla, but when he got in the car, he was still stunned.

"Uesugi-san... that, Ikeda Senbei is injured, I, I'm temporarily acting as driver, is that okay?" The one sitting in the driver's seat was Yamada Nanase, her soft and cute face still retained an excited blush, seeing Uesugi Muneyuki get in, she lowered her head, her face flushed with crimson. "Let's go." Uesugi Muneyuki gestured for us to return to Nagoya first!

"Then, Uesugi-san is ready, departure!" Yamada Nanase saw Uesugi Muneyuki not resisting, excitedly pressed her high-heeled shoe onto the accelerator. After Vikram was escorted to Nagoya, the news was officially announced to the public that morning.

The Aichi Prefecture Police Headquarters held a brief press conference.

Okada Masayoshi, representing the Hirate Case Special Investigation Headquarters, announced that the suspect suspected of murder and gang rape of Sarina Hirate was successfully apprehended in Nagano Prefecture early this morning, the suspect's identity confirmed as an Indian male, twenty-nine years old, originally from Goa, engaged in dispatch work in the Nagoya Port area. The case will be transferred to the Metropolitan Police Department for further trial.

The press conference lasted less than five minutes throughout, with no Q&A session.

After Okada Masayoshi finished reading the statement, he turned and left the press hall.

But the content of the press conference is not important.

What truly made global media erupt was the footage repeatedly played in the midnight live broadcast, Vikram bearing bullets while fleeing, elbowing swarms of Japanese police all the way, and the massive explosion in Nagano Prefecture!

These footages have already been spread all over the world.

The Japanese police tried to obscure details related to "Nagano Prefecture", saying it was due to gas leakage, but the Vikram incident could no longer be concealed.

The whole world now knows one thing.

The Ganges has a superman!!! Indians are not afraid of bullets!!!

Could it be... that Indians are truly the children of God?!

Now we're a superior race! No wonder Indians are divided into five castes, the wisdom of our ancestors is boundless!
