Chapter 316 The Earth Binder

"Don't... leave me alone..."

However, facing Sakai's questioning, the man standing at the intersection put on an indifferent expression and replied in a low voice.

Hearing the man's answer, Sakai frowned.

In fact, regarding these figures that suddenly appeared in Horikawa, the Metropolitan Police Department has accelerated its investigation.

Also, try to have a conversation with them.

But no matter how the Metropolitan Police Department asked, these people were still unwilling to disclose the reason for their sudden motionlessness.

From the reactions of these people, it seems that they already knew the reason for standing there.

Withdrawing his thoughts from the information collected by the Metropolitan Police Department, Sakai looked at the expression of the man in front of him, this expression of despair mixed with numbness, just like all the people who were found.

Not getting too many useful clues from the man, Sakai had no choice but to give up his plan to continue questioning, turned his head and gestured to the special raid force behind him, and then two well-trained members stepped forward and grabbed him. Man with arms raised.

"Ok?"

With both hands on the man's arm, one of the members of the Special Assault Force couldn't help showing an expression of surprise on his face.

"what happened?"

Sensing the change in the expressions of the members of the special assault force, Sakai who was standing beside him couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing, sir, I just feel that his strength is greater than imagined."

Normal people raise their arms like this, even if they persist for a while, they will be unable to resist the force exerted by the outside because of sourness.

However, the man in front of him not only stood at the intersection with his arms raised for such a long time, but even when facing members of the special assault force, he still showed great strength.

Gritting his teeth and increasing the strength in his hand, he finally pressed down the man's raised arm.

Escorted by members of the special assault force, the man was taken away from the scene without any resistance.

"...It's useless, it's all useless..."

Throughout the escort process, the man showed unimaginable cooperation.

He just kept murmuring in his mouth, as if talking to Sakai and the others about the futility of all this.

……

"Yes, yes... I see..."

Kyoto, Metropolitan Police Department.

The resignation of the Prime Minister caused huge waves in the political arena throughout Tokyo.

All forces want to get a share of it, but the incident that happened in Horikawa has attracted the attention of some people.

Although they were not at the scene, they were not as familiar with what happened to Horikawa as Sakai was, but this did not prevent them from giving orders to Sakai.

The government spent a lot of effort to suppress Keiko's enthusiasm for the previous time capsule. Naturally, they don't want any problems to arise at this critical time.

The current prime minister has resigned, leaving a vacancy in the cabinet.

The ruling party at this moment is at its weakest. Once the opposition party seizes the opportunity, even if it is not pulled down, it will eventually cause a certain degree of damage and affect the next election.

Hang up the call from Tokyo.

Sakai let out a long sigh of relief, reached out and rubbed his forehead.

Although Gao Shan wanted to use Keiko's power to kill cabinet officials, although he was insane, there was nothing wrong with what he said.

That is, these high-ranking big shots are indeed moths of this country in a certain way. They are eating away at the future of this country in order to seek the interests of themselves and the families behind them, and enjoy the benefits brought by power, but they are unwilling to bear the burden Some responsibilities.

Unfortunately, I have no choice.

Although Sakai looked down on these self-righteous politicians, he was powerless to change anything.

No matter how decadent a country is, it is still a country.

He's not as crazy as Gao Shan.

Suppressing his inner thoughts, Sakai returned his attention to the photo in front of him.

In front of his eyes, the entire wall was covered with photos taken by the Metropolitan Police Department. The figures on the photos were all motionless figures who were found in various places in Horikawa.

Because these people are motionless as if they are bound in place, they have been named 'Earth Bound' on the Internet.

Currently, the Metropolitan Police Department has discovered more than 50 "Earth Binders", and this number is constantly increasing. As far as the Metropolitan Police Department has received calls, there have been more than a hundred cases about "Earth Binders". In addition to repeated and prank calls, there are also not a few new 'ground-binders'.

Most of them are adult men, but a small number of them are of different age groups.

The youngest of the 'ground-bound' is a 12-year-old boy near the Horikawa Bridge. He was bound by the river and was discovered by nearby residents for the first time.

As soon as they learned of the boy's situation, his parents rushed to the scene and took the boy away.

But not too long later, the boy returned to the place where he was found, bound in the same position as before.

According to the Metropolitan Police Department's investigation, the method of movement of the 'Earthbinder' is unknown.

Many 'earth-bound' have been brought back home by their families, but in a blink of an eye they reappeared in the place where they were bound.

At the same time, because of the relationships that these 'Earth Binders' themselves do not want to disclose, it has become extremely difficult to collect evidence throughout the investigation.

It is not yet possible to know why they were restrained.

"Sir, the target is gone!"

However, when Sakai was looking at the pictures of 'Earth Binder' on the photo wall, he was meditating.

Officer Yamamoto of the Metropolitan Police Department suddenly delivered the news to him.

From Yamamoto's face, one can clearly see the shock in his heart at the moment.

The missing person was the man brought back by Sakai and the special assault force at the intersection not long ago.

The Metropolitan Police Department locked him in the interrogation room and arranged layers of guards.

However, even under such strict surveillance, the 'Earth Binder' still disappeared from the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Where's the video from the interrogation room?"

Hearing Yamamoto's report, Sakai was not surprised.

The fact that the 'Earthbinders' will return to the Landbound has long been known in other investigations.

Sakai locked this 'Earth Binder' in the interrogation room to see if he would leave like the other 'Earth Binders' under the guards.

Obviously, even with all the preparations, there is still no way to prevent the 'Earth Binder' from going back.

"Any footage of 'Earthbinder' leaving?"

"The video recorder has been working, but..."

Faced with Sakai's question, Yamamoto's expression was a bit inexplicable.

He handed the DV camera in his hand forward.

Reaching out to take the camera handed by Yamamoto, Sakai began to watch the recorded images.
