Congratulations on Your Arrest

  Chapter 154 Boundary of Strange Demons, Reappearance of Fox Face (Two in One)

   "Starting immediately, after a one-minute countdown, a mighty boon will come to everyone in the vicinity centered on this radio tower, giving you the power you once longed for day and night."

  “.When you have power, will you still surrender to the fear of heaven and man, or face the fear bravely? You don’t need to answer me. You only need to answer yourself.”

  “.”

  The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the faint moonlight passes through the transparent skylight on the ceiling and falls on the brown conference table in the conference room.

   At the head of the table is a chair whose armrests have been rubbed and baptized over a long period of time. An old man with gray hair and wrinkled face is sitting on the chair.

  He gently stroked the wrinkled leather on the armrest with both hands, and the live broadcast from the far east was playing on the light screen not far in front of him.

  This is a suburban area nearly 500 kilometers away from the bustling upper Kyoto metropolitan area. There is a lake called Fox Pond, which is a tourist attraction that is warm in winter and cool in summer.

  But since someone bought all the land around the lake a hundred years ago and built a manor by the lake, they have never had a chance with ordinary people.

  No one will protest because of dissatisfaction. Being able to own such a manor in a place where every inch of land is so expensive in the upper Kyoto metropolitan area known as the "center of the world" is enough to explain the identity and status of the owner of the manor.

  In fact, the Tianhu Bart family, which controls the lifeline of the world's economy, owns a manor in every corner of the world that is low-key and luxurious enough to match the family's identity.

  The conference room with a transparent ceiling in the manor is not necessarily used for meetings, but can also be used to entertain guests who deserve attention, such as the old man sitting opposite the conference table.

  The family behind the old man belongs to the nine heavenly and human beings above the heavens, who control most of the energy mines in this world, and he is the current patriarch of the Tianlong Rhine family—Senior Rhine.

  Sitting upright on the chair, the patriarch of the Tianlong Clan, Senior Rhein, raised his fingertips and rubbed the center of his brows without anger.

  When his pair of pure and incomparable golden vertical pupils looked away from the light screen in the meeting room, the white-haired old man Betancourt Bart at the end of the meeting table raised the remote control to turn off the live broadcast.

   "This is the last live video that was sent back from Wano Country New Tokyo a few minutes ago. The video after that has interrupted all signals."

  Bettencourt Barthes added in a steady voice, "Man-made interruption, obviously, someone doesn't want us to know too much."

  The voice fell, and the meeting room with only two people fell into silence.

   After a while, the tall and straight Tianlong Clan patriarch Senior Rhein shook his head slightly, and said with a tone of emotion, "Is the Wano Country in the East China Sea there again?"

   "Yeah. It's there again."

Betancourt Bart, the patriarch of the Sky Fox, nodded slightly, looked at Senior Rhine, the patriarch of the Tianlong Clan, and said straight to the point, "You know about the 'things' that began to appear in the Wano country more than a hundred years ago. How many?"

   "Those things?

   Are you referring to strange demons? "

  The vertical pupils in the pupils of the patriarch of Tianlong, Senior Rhine Gold, froze slightly.

  At a certain moment, he seemed to be caught in some memories, and said slowly:

"At that time. I was still a child. My father warned me when he passed away. Human beings are like our hounds in this world. When they are disobedient, they can be beaten appropriately, but they can also be given a bone when necessary. , when the night falls, they are the only people in this world who can help us resist the darkness."

"yes."

Betancourt Batt nodded, and said with a light smile, "It's just that the weight of that 'bone' was a bit too heavy—the Nine Heavens and Humans handed over the political rights controlled by the House of Lords and the World Government, and completely withdrew from history. The stage, the wisdom and courage of our parents are far beyond our reach."

   “But history repeats itself.”

The patriarch of Tianlong, Senior Rhine lowered his eyes slightly, and said, "I didn't expect that human beings would understand those strange monsters buried in the dust of history. Maybe it's because I'm too old and too slow to be in the Kingdom of Wano a few years ago. I should have thought of it when I announced that I had researched an ability fruit. It is not an ability fruit, but a devil fruit, and the ability can only be obtained by making a deal with a devil."

Betancourt Batt shook his head when he heard the words, with a look of indifference in his eyes, "History has proven countless times that human beings are like this, and the power, ability and resources are unworthy of inferior creatures like them. What they have, they desire even more."

   "The problem is that now [the border] has appeared, and no one can be sure whether the situation there is the same as it was a hundred years ago. What should we do next?"

  Senior Rhine asked.

  The Sky Fox clan has been the counselors of the Sky Dragon clan in history. Although all the previous systems no longer exist, this does not affect the head of the Sky Dragon clan, Senior Rhine, to seek the opinion of the old fox.

  The head of the Tianhu clan, Betancourt Bart, pondered for a moment, and said slowly, "Send someone to assess the level of the [boundary] first, and then block it through the Judgment Department."

"All human beings who have lost their minds after being descended by strange demons are all regarded as being cleaned by strange demons, and the remaining humans who have acquired abilities through strange demons are concentrated and detained in isolation, and the unstable and high-risk abilities that are not in the talent sequence are eliminated. After half a year of isolation, discretion will be given. freed."

After saying this indifferently, Bettencourt Barthes suddenly sighed, and said with a wry smile, "I hope that the level of Wano Country [Border] will not be too high this time, otherwise those of the Ninth Family who ignore the world and pursue the ninth level will Old thing, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear the loneliness."

  Patriarch of Tianlong, Senior Rhine, had been listening to him in silence. At this moment, he nodded slightly, and suddenly asked again, "Then what should we do tonight?"

Betancourt Batt glanced at Senior Rhine with some weirdness in his heart, but said calmly on his face, "This time, the affairs of Wano Country are not the seventh ruling of your clan that made Gaius Rhine Responsible? Tonight's matter, he should handle it very well."

Senior Rhine nodded, and the golden vertical pupil glanced at Betancourt Barthes, and said seemingly unintentionally, "That is indeed a very good child, hard-working and stubborn, always rational and indifferent, I am here He saw the shadow of me, but... he doesn't seem to be that close to the family."

   “Children always like a warm home.”

  Bettencourt Barthes said with a smile, "Maybe your management method is too strict, but it doesn't matter, no matter where the child goes, he always belongs to the family behind him."

   "I hope so"

  Senior Rhine said lightly.

  He didn't continue to speak, and silently tasted the amber cup of green hand strong brew, feeling the pungent feeling of the wine across his throat, and the golden vertical pupils were full of silent pressure.

  Of course he is aware of the connection that has been maintained between that collateral son of the Judgment Division, Gaius Rhine, and the old fox across the conference table over the years.

  However, he is not disgusted. Collateral children cannot obtain too many resources in the family. If they want to be in the top position, they have to use their own brains. This is not an unforgivable thing.

  He is not worried that the other party will betray.

  Marcus Rhine, who served as the eleventh adjudicator of the Judgment Division, died in Wano Country some time ago, which means that one of the several orthodox heirs within the Tianlong Clan has been vacated.

  If Gaius Rhine can handle this incident neatly this time, he can help the World Government and the Nine Great Families crush to death the flea hidden behind the dark golden mask in Donghai.

   Then he doesn't mind letting Gaius Rhine, a collateral child, replace the original position of Marcus Rhine. At that time, the other party will naturally return to the family.

  What the old fox in front of me said,

   There is always one sentence right.

  Wherever the child goes,

  He also belongs to the family behind him, after all, the blood of the noble dragon clan flows in the body of the other party.

   Wano Country, New Tokyo.

  Pedestrian street at the foot of Sky Tree.

  When the third investigation team responsible for maintaining order at the scene saw those ordinary people first fell to the ground inexplicably, holding their heads and rolling over in pain, everyone couldn't help being a little stunned.

  But then, the people on the ground who were writhing in pain suddenly stood up strangely, with strange appearances of people with various abilities appearing on their bodies, and they lost their minds and rushed towards the adjudicators who were usually in awe.

  In an instant, the members of the third investigation team only felt a chill rushing from their heels to Tianlinggai, and they all stared wide-eyed with a kind of scalp-numbing astonishment!

   That's the Judgment Division!

   Are these people crazy?

   This idea just flashed through the minds of everyone in the third investigation team.

  In the next moment, everyone couldn't help but suddenly mentioned it in their hearts, and a biting cold surged in their hearts.

  I saw those people who seemed to have lost their minds and rushed to the ruling department,

  People are still flying in the air.

  Suddenly, it seemed that someone had pressed the still button, and they all stopped in midair.

what's the situation?

   The members of the third investigation team have not yet reacted.

  At this time, I saw a middle-aged man in the front, who was surrounded by lightning, suddenly appeared a slim sword that seemed real but not real, and the blood shot out like a blowout, and he flew out directly.

   Immediately afterwards, amidst the grinding sound of sharp blades penetrating the skull.

  A dozen scarlet blood arrows spewed out in unison, followed by the sound of falling to the ground one after another.

  In the blink of an eye, those human beings who got up again after falling and tried to resist in the face of the Judiciary's clearance were all cut down like weeds in a pool of blood.

  Everyone in the third investigation team around looked at the fallen people and stood there with a slightly dull expression.

  They had imagined countless possible outcomes of attacking the Tribunal, but they had never imagined the scene before them.

  Perhaps because of being the same kind, for a while, everyone felt a chill all over their hearts.

   Gaius Rhine shook his head with a silent expression on the seventh ruling, holding a black umbrella.

   Humans are still human after all.

  Thinking that he has mastered that insignificant ability inexplicably, and then forgot the fact that he is a lowly creature like a human being, it is so ridiculous that it is indescribably stupid.

His dark vertical pupils glanced around, and he said indifferently, "I just received news that the high-risk elements who assassinated the adjudicator and councilors in Baiyu Square are on this street, and now the adjudication department is about to launch an arrest operation." , All those who try to stop it! They will be treated as accomplices!"

"Yes!"

  Everyone in the executive team of the Judgment Division responded one after another, with a touch of excitement and irritation in their voices.

  To be honest, the people who suddenly rushed up like wild beasts just now really stunned the executive team of the Judgment Division who usually pampered themselves in Wano Country.

  Like a wolf eating a sheep,

  The sheep will run away when they see the wolf,

   or be eaten.

  But one day, when the sheep suddenly raised their hooves and rushed up, the wolf who was used to easy hunting might also be a little dumbfounded.

  Of course, the reaction will be even more annoyed.

  Then the next step is to vent after becoming angry, and inevitably hurt the innocent.

   Hundreds of meters away,

  An alley in Sky Tree Pedestrian Street.

  Miri Nishimaru was carrying a **** umbrella, and stood with her little feet in the rain in front of a convenience store.

   From time to time, she tilted her head and glanced at the dark alley over there, her little hand tightly holding the handle of the umbrella revealed her inner anxiety.

   Didn't you say go in and have a look?

  Why hasn’t big brother come out yet?

  Meet an enemy?

  At this time, a person wearing a wide-brimmed black top hat and a black coat suddenly appeared in his field of vision, and Nishimaru Miri's anxious little face suddenly showed joy.

  After the person approached, Nishimaru Miri quickly rushed up to help Higashinohara put on an umbrella to block the wind and rain outside.

   "Brother, did you find them?"

   Higashinohara took off the black top hat on his head, casually shook off the rainwater from the brim of the hat, shook his head, and said with a little indifference in his eyes, "There is only one."

  His mood was a little gloomy, and he couldn't stop thinking about those four sophomores who fell in the rainy night. Their lives shouldn't be like this.

  Tonight is different from the attack at Takehara South Private Academy a few nights ago. From the last words of the woman, it can be heard that the other party is obviously targeting him.

  At this moment, he seemed to be able to smell the damp **** smell in the dark alley from the tip of his nose, and his heart suddenly became more gloomy, and even his breathing felt a little uncomfortable.

Why is this?

   Higashinohara was thinking about this question.

   Miri Nishimaru, who was struggling to support the **** umbrella beside her, seemed to have noticed that Higashinohara's mood was different from before, and frowned slightly, as if full of some kind of stagnation.

  She didn't use the ability of [True Listening], but she seemed to guess something in her little heart.

"Big brother."

  When approaching the meeting point of Takehara Minami, Miri Nishimaru suddenly stopped in her tracks.

   "What's the matter, Miri?" Higashinohara asked, looking down at Miri Nishimaru.

  Miri Nishimaru did not speak, but took off the small schoolbag on her shoulder, took out a red and blue fox mask from it, and said to Higashinohara with her pretty face, "Here, this is for you."

   Higashinohara lowered his head and glanced at the familiar mask, and only heard Nishimaru Miri continuing briskly in his ear, "Don't worry about me, big brother. I'll meet up with Sensei and the others right away, and we can go back by ourselves."

  Higashi Yehara couldn't help being slightly startled when he heard the words, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

   This little guy.

   It's really extraordinarily considerate.

  He couldn't help chuckling, took the fox noodles from Miri Nishimaru, rubbed Miri Nishimaru's little head, and the two parted at the meeting point of Takehara Minami Private Academy.

   There are some things that need not be said.

  Because everything has already been said.

   After parting, Higashinohara didn't stop much, and hurried towards the venue of the exchange meeting.

   Higashinohara had finished allocating the attribute points when he killed the woman in the dark alley, which meant that the countdown had already entered, and he didn't have much time to waste.

   But walking on the somewhat empty pedestrian street, Higashinohara frowned slightly as he got closer to the venue of the exchange meeting, and couldn't help feeling a little puzzled in his heart.

   Just now in the dark alley, the woman seemed to have notified the person who wanted to arrest him, so it stands to reason that the other party should have already met him and rushed over.

  Why is it so long to see no one?

   As he was thinking this, he suddenly saw a large group of people fleeing towards a certain place in embarrassment, crying and shouting at the corner of the street ahead.

  Suddenly, time seemed to stop for a moment!

  In the next moment, blood rained back from countless fragmented corpses like a tide.

   Higashinohara's pupils shrank suddenly.

  In the rain of blood, I saw a tall man holding a black umbrella, stepping on the **** corpses and scarlet blood on the ground, walking indifferently and bluntly on the **** street.

   Behind him was a large group of execution teams from the Judgment Division, frantically chasing the fleeing crowd.

  At this time, a middle-aged man with a slack figure was forced to retreat to the corner of the street by three people from the enforcement team of the Judgment Division.

  He suddenly broke down and knelt down in the heavy rain, crying and shaking his head, shouting:

   "Please! I'm not crazy, I'm not them. I didn't attack you! I still have family and children, I don't want power anymore! Please."

  Suddenly,

  The sound in the rainy night stopped abruptly.

  Under the **** umbrella,

  Higashi Nohara clenched the handle of the umbrella in his hand.

  At the same time, standing at the forefront of the seventh ruling made Gaius Rhine seem to notice something.

  He turned his head, and in those vertical pupils that were as black as hell, his cold gaze suddenly passed through the misty rain curtain and looked at the big, motionless black umbrella by the roadside.

  At this moment, Gaius Rhine suddenly saw the edge of the front of the **** umbrella lift up slightly, revealing the red and blue monochromatic pattern mask of Inari Shrine under the umbrella like a fox monster.

  The two looked at each other from a distance through the rain and fog.

  Fox noodles?

   Gaius Rhine slowly remembered something.

  The corners of his lips couldn't help but slightly raised, raising a curve that seemed to be sneering or mocking.

   It's you, right?

   Ask for a ticket lol~
