Chapter 834

After reading the message, the Special Mission Division fell into silence.

This is a genius, and also a butcher.

This is a successful person, yet also a failure expert.

In some sense, this woman is a model of winning studies, but the fundamental reason she can win is that she has always been "losing".

But she lost to the end, she figured out the study of losing, so she can win.

Yet being able to win did not bring her psychological support; she won all the way to the end only to face massive moral condemnation, becoming the image of the "winner-studies" person she most detests and loathes in her heart.

Thus for psychological compensation, she finally turned against other "winning-winning-winning" housewives, because she had lost, while they had not. Uesugi Muneyuki remained silent; from a certain angle, he too is a beneficiary of the status quo, but he is clear-headed, he is not self-satisfied, at that time he merely lacked immersion in this world, he found it hard to immerse himself, and thus he is naturally difficult to be swindled out of money or sex.

"Everyone take note, such things will only increase from now on." Just as no one spoke, Nango Yui suddenly said: "From a certain angle, in these years, especially from now on, everyone must learn to protect their 'little pets'."

"Little pets? I don't keep pets." Eirina said impatiently.

"The pets I mean are not literal, but figurative." As a top student at Kyoto University, Nango Yui lightly sighed: "Cats and dogs are fine, your lover, family, children are fine, your car, your Switch, or your hobby collections, Yu-Gi-Oh cards, Gundam models, mygo fanworks are fine too—all can be considered your little pets."

"The times have changed, adults. The existence of the internet, and people's real-world thought and behavior patterns, our society has atomized to a certain degree, we have already entered a new era." Nango Yui softly said: "Our Kyoto University calls this the 'unrestricted warfare' model." "The earliest existence of the internet was precisely to find like-minded peers and so-called traditional communist sharing to break copyright barriers…… actually not long ago, people still somewhat observed a 'gentleman's boundary'."

"In our Kyoto University, if two students disagree on some matter, even if their ideologies are completely opposite, or their interests fundamentally clash, they will not first think of destroying what the other cherishes—such as showing up to harm someone's child, poisoning someone's pet, or reporting to ruin someone's job."

"We firmly believe we fight to defend rules and morality themselves, not personal win-loss—for example, when we raise Japan's current problems, we hope the nation can improve, become better, not seek to respect the wise and punish the wicked, to physically eliminate all opposition." "But when we came to society, we found the current macro environment has already changed."

"In today's society, as long as it can be done, people will try every means to destroy the psychological defenses of those with opposing views, even their real lives." "This is also why Hagimi went from a positive term to a negative one, evolving from expressing love for cats to infinite support for pet slaughter, and supporters of different car brands, seeing strangers they don't know in cars they dislike being burned alive, families destroyed, feel genuine 'patriotic Japanese seeing some overseas-working Japanese struggling will mock who let you flee abroad, you mangy dog, rather than offer real help, those who affirm overseas cultural values will take those who earn little, see no improvement in life, yet remain patriotic ordinary people for amusement, calling them the 'base', while for those university students with excess energy nowhere to vent but temporarily not needing to make a living, shouting everywhere causing chaos north and south, we gave them a nickname, calling them 'laptop men'."

"It is obvious no one now hopes others will do well; on today's internet, though topics seem diverse and camps torn, most people's mindset is the same: hoping to see those whose cognition differs from theirs go toward life's failure, mental collapse, best if they die, the whole family dies, then step on ten thousand feet so they cannot turn over."

Uesugi Muneyuki lightly nodded: "A group hates something because another group likes it; since you like it, I want to destroy it, to report it, even to take offline action, society encourages you to hate other things to burn excess energy, to hate men, hate women, hate the elderly, hate children, hate pets, hate black people, white people, Anglo-Saxons, Three-Body people, M78 Nebula people, Three-Body people, Huawei people, Apple people, Android people, Sam's Club people." "In the current environment, many will magnify the evil in their hearts for survival and put it into practice, but in the process, they cannot suppress the pleasure from destroying others." Okada Masayoshi nodded, he looked toward Date Nagamune: "I thought real-name system could solve this, but real-name system instead extremly magnified this malice, people's goodwill toward others is decreasing, malice increasing. Individual life is increasingly easily destroyed by others. Who kills you is not necessarily a high-positioned powerholder, more often it's someone living poorly, thinking extremist, ordinary." Date Nagamune pursed his lips, extreme otaku sasaeng fan going to knife idol—still few?

"Yes, many times you just want to display your cherished little pet, which may take much time and energy, but others' insults, abuse, reports can easily destroy it, and doing so brings great pleasure." Uesugi Muneyuki nodded: "In this situation, the only thing one can do is maintain tolerance, silence, concealment, not speak, not comment, not argue, not share, do not expose your hobbies and important people/things on public networks—this is the best protection for yourself."

Everyone fell silent.

From a certain angle, Japan is a typical vanguard service; many don't understand why, on sites similar to Xianyu, Japanese sell secondhand goods, cannot directly bid but must first private-chat, apologize, state intent, emphasize they truly want to buy, before the other replies letting you bid; don't understand why many Japanese dislike meeting and immediately adding Iine, never answer calls without notes, extremely dislike talking without clear purpose, yet superficially all pretend to be polite, never say bad things face-to-face; why many times when one thinks another's view is wrong, they cannot reply directly in the comment section but must open another post quoting content then state their view.

This is the extreme atomization brought by postmodernity, making individuals easily harmed by others, so everyone learned self-protection. Uesugi Muneyuki thought of Germany, when neckbands first came out, many big stars also were just sharing their views, activities, and thoughts on WeChat Moments when bored; result after many years, now nearly all stars' neckbands only post announcement and business content, and often must mark it as operator-posted.

Because in this atmosphere, as individuals, and the things we cherish and emotionally invest in, are all very dangerous.

You don't know when you offended whom, you don't know whether the other bears goodwill wanting to communicate or ill will merely because you're doing well now and wants to kill your whole family.

Just like Night Come Hui and this group of happy housewives.

Everyone fell silent.

When the avalanche comes, every snowflake rushes to the ends of the earth!

"Kyoto, she has a lecture there in three days." Okada Masayoshi interrupted Nango Yui: "I am now applying for an inter-regional arrest warrant; Kyoto Prefectural Police need prior communication."

"No need to apply." Uesugi Muneyuki turned around, coldly said: "I will go to the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, as the main perpetrator of the serial murder case, directly issue a nationwide arrest warrant, then contact the National Police Agency Security Bureau—she doesn't like 'how women should protect themselves'? Then we'll let her be arrested in front of three hundred female trainees."

"This time, we will also let her taste what is called 'killing to strike the heart'!"

"Yes!!!"

After arranging the task, Uesugi Muneyuki found Ozawa Sumiko.

When Uesugi Muneyuki knocked, Ozawa Sumiko was looking at a document.

She raised her head, glanced at him, closed the document, placed it on the desk corner, then said in a tone of "I knew you would come": "Have a seat."

Uesugi Muneyuki sat down, without pleasantries: "Godai Yusuke, Tsugawa Shouichi."

Ozawa Sumiko's expression showed no change, but she pushed the document on the desk inward a bit, as if fearing it would blow away.

"Yes, this is the deepest secret of the Public Security Police." She said, voice not loud, but each word like a nail driven into the desk: "Even cabinet ministers do not qualify for their protection. In all Japan, only one type of person qualifies for their protection."

She looked into Uesugi Muneyuki's eyes.

"Designated special special talents. You."

Uesugi Muneyuki's fingers tightened slightly, but he did not interrupt her.

"Because I am irreplaceable? Because I can solve cases?"

"Yes, because you are irreplaceable, while those politicians—whether they have them or not, it's much the same; Japan is not dictatorship or strongman politics, politicians can be as many as wanted, those who want to be National Diet members enjoying high pay, three secretaries, living in official residences, traveling everywhere with full expense reimbursement—how few are there?" "As the saying goes, leaders come and go, but the people endure?" Uesugi Muneyuki raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, you are the people." Ozawa Sumiko nodded.

"When will you decide to deploy?" Uesugi Muneyuki asked.

"After the Imperial Palace bombing case, you should remember, it was precisely after the Imperial Palace bombing case that National Public Safety Commission Chairman Higashi Kotaro Sō resigned, replaced by the current Committee Chairman Nanko Taro." Ozawa Sumiko said: "Some forces long asleep were forced to awaken. Those forces—those sealed, hidden, erased from public memory after the war—have returned to this nation's system."

"He came to that position," Ozawa Sumiko said with a hint of playfulness: "Not because he is a politician, but because he is the gatekeeper of this nation's last line of defense. As long as he holds that position, those forces will not lose control. As for what he himself actually is……" she paused, shook her head, "This is not something I can answer."

She took back the photo, locked it in the drawer, raised her head to look at Uesugi Muneyuki.

"Uesugi Chief, I can only tell you this much; I only hope you remember, they are inner-side forces, that side of the world values your ability, which is why we came to help you."

"And you should also have some understanding of that side, right?" Ozawa Sumiko suddenly said: "After all, we actually think you sometimes are not quite normal……"

Uesugi Muneyuki smiled: "Sometimes, not saying things too clearly is better, right? Inspector Ozawa? For example, the GENERATION3 project?"

Hearing Uesugi Muneyuki actually knew this project, Ozawa Sumiko's eyes flashed with a frightening light, then faded, she nodded deeply: "There is a saying, indeed."

This Uesugi Muneyuki person is ten times, a hundred times more dangerous than imagined!

Fortunately, we have him under control, through his beloved little pet.
