Congratulations on Your Arrest

  Chapter 171 Counterattack, the first time to take the initiative! (Down)

   "Brother. Are we going to die?"

  In the dark and dark dungeon, the girl with her eyes covered with a black cloth groped around, feeling the boundless cold and wet touch back from her fingertips, squatted down again and hugged her knees tightly.

  Vivienne, a girl from the Siam Free Federation in the central-eastern region.

By accident, she and her long-lost brother Camilla were taken to the Wano country in the East China Sea, thousands of miles away, and imprisoned in this dark dungeon. Every day when I wake up, I can smell a faint smell of blood on the tip of my nose. .

   "No, we won't die."

  Brother Camilla's face was also tied with a black cloth. He raised his hand and gently stroked his younger sister Vivienne's hair, and his tone was full of confidence for capable people.

"Uh-huh."

  Sister Vivian nodded vigorously.

  Brother Camilla couldn't see her sister's expression. After being locked together for so many days, his eyes were always in darkness, and he even forgot what her sister looks like now.

  But he will always remember the appearance of the little girl when he left home to join the Chidi Revolutionary Army. The picture of the girl nodding vigorously and the ponytail behind her head jumping in the air unconsciously appeared in his mind.

Camilla's heart became warmer, and she gently whispered into her younger sister Vivienne's ear, "Don't worry, we won't die. They must be useful for bringing us back. They won't do it until we're done, so you don't have to worry so much during this time."

   "Really?" Vivian said.

   "Has brother ever lied to you?" Camilla asked.

  Vivian hesitated for a while, and suddenly said in a muffled voice, "Yes, when you left home, brother, you said you would come back."

   Camilla was startled slightly, feeling a little guilty in her heart, and said in a softer voice, "This time it's different, this time my brother won't lie to you, you won't die, I promise!"

"Do you remember when we were young? We made an appointment, and when we had money, we would go to the resort islands south of the South China Sea to see if those places were really like pearls inlaid on the blue sea like they were on TV. Take a look at this Is there really warm but not scorching sunshine in the world?

  So you have to listen to your brother, whenever I say go, run away! run faster! Don't be fooled by anyone! Don't get caught by anyone either! Wait for me on the island in the south, and I will pick you up, and we will go home together after a happy holiday."

   Camilla's voice became more and more gentle.

  In his soft voice, Vivian's nerves that had been tense after being imprisoned in this dark dungeon finally relaxed slowly.

  Thick and deep tiredness hit her, and under the black eyepatch, she gently closed her eyes and fell asleep. The corners of her tender lips, which no one could see, raised a sweet arc slightly.

  It seems that in the dream, I really came to the warm southern island, the sea breeze blows gently, the tide rises and falls, and the singing of those unknown seabirds is in my ears.

  Feeling the even breathing of her younger sister Vivienne beside her, Camilla gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tightly, feeling ruthless in her heart!

   It was his choice to join the Chidi Revolutionary Army, but no matter what, he couldn't let his sister get hurt again.

   Not long after, the cell door was opened again, and Camilla was detained by members of the execution team in black robes and came to an office in the official residence of the adjudicator above.

  The moment the door was pushed open, the sixth ruling made Adeline sit behind the desk and give him a charming smile.

  In an instant, Camilla's mind was filled with the lingering image of this woman standing among the corpses on the ground, and her body was stained with blood from the blood of the Red Revolutionary Army's comrades, and her breathing became rapid unconsciously.

   "You come our little soldier."

"calm down."

   "I believe that even for your sister, you will choose to calm down, right?"

  The woman's frivolous and casual voice fell.

  At the door of the office, Camilla's breathing also gradually stabilized.

  At the same time, when the brother and sister in the dungeon were eager to meet again on the holiday island south of the South China Sea.

  On the resort island in the South China Sea, a certain man from Sakamoto’s Dragon Pirates quietly left the resort island Well, in fact, it can’t be regarded as “leaving quietly”.

When Ryunosuke Kamiya packed his luggage and was about to leave, a man wearing a purple bathrobe painted with **** mandalas and dark gold butterflies appeared at the door of his room, holding a metal pipe to block his way, a pair of long His eyes were still half-closed and careless.

   "Did you get that message?"

"Yes."

   "You are going to die now."

   "Their target is the man hidden behind the dark golden dragonfly mask in Wano Country. Don't worry, I just went this time to see the gap between me and the 'Sword Emperor'."

   "Can I not go?"

   "I don't want to go, I'm not reconciled."

  “.”

  After a simple conversation, Sakamoto put away the metal pipe to get out of the way.

  Sakamoto Dragon's second team leader, three-sword swordsman Ryunosuke Kamiya, left the St. Bama Islands in the South China Sea alone, and boarded an ocean-going ferry to Wano Country in the East China Sea.

   In this world, February also only has 28 days, and it has been almost two weeks since the sudden incident at Xinyuan Apartment.

  Today is February 27th, and tomorrow is the day of the academic proficiency test at the end of the third semester of New Tokyo Takehara South Private Academy.

  Cultural assessment in the morning and ability test in the afternoon.

   Within one day, it is decided whether the three graders of Takehara Minami Private Academy will be upgraded to graduate or stay in school when the new school year comes in April after the end of the spring break

  As early as about half a month ago, Higashinohara submitted an application for skipping the third grade, and the academy approved his application in view of his outstanding performance at the exchange meeting.

   During the past ten days, Higashinohara worked hard to seize all the training time.

  Because he also submitted a personal application under the alias "Nishimiyai" to the Open Agency, which is conducting a follow-up investigation of the completely blocked Sky Tree by the Judgment Department, but it is still in the review stage.

Although Higashinohara's most prominent agility under normal conditions has already made him equivalent to the strength of a fifth-order power user, he knows that what he is about to face is not only the school's exam, but also some actions against him by the adjudication department this time. .

  If you fail the academy exam, at most you will repeat the grade, but if you cannot pass the hurdle of the adjudicator, then you have to save your life.

  In addition, not long ago, the serial murder case in Edogawa District that attracted the attention of the media in recent days, soon after that day almost half a month ago, there was follow-up information.

Higashinohara learned about the follow-up investigation of the case from Senior Mai Aragaki, and it was completely in line with his guess that day—the baby-faced girl who worked in the convenience store did indeed appear in the Sky Tree on that **** night. Down.

  After the **** night at the sky tree, the girl was escorted to the hospital together with the surviving ordinary people under the sky tree, and was taken back home quietly by her family members.

   It is said that when the family members came to the hospital to pick them up, the baby-faced girl was the only one among so many people who strongly resisted being discharged from the hospital and went home with her family, so she also left a deep impression on the people in the hospital.

  When Mai Aragaki dictated this point, his expression was a little angry.

  Although the girl who works in a convenience store is a cruel murderer, the stepfather who abused her domestically and the elder brother who often harassed her are equally unforgivable.

  Anyway, when the family members were notified to claim the body, Mai Aragaki didn’t look good on the family of three. It is estimated that if she was not in the Metropolitan Police Department, she would definitely beat the father and son with her personality.

   Higashinohara also felt a little emotional after hearing this.

   Those who kill people will always kill them.

  He has no regrets about the decisive killing that night, but he feels that the trajectory of the baby-faced girl who died under his hands should not be like that

   Her life may not start perfectly, she may be struggling, and she may need to use her vacation time to work in a convenience store like Higashinohara.

  But she is still in the best years of her life, she can smile brightly and recklessly in the sun, and she still has a lot of youthful time waiting to be squandered. People are mortal, but at least they should get the right death.

   Higashinohara is different from Mai Aragaki.

  He knew that the cause of all these tragedies might be caused by the baby-faced girl's family environment, but the direct cause of the tragedy at this stage was those so-called "strange demons".

  Or to be more accurate, it is the person who hacked into the radio tower of the Sky Tree and delivered the seemingly righteous speech in order to liberate all human beings from rebelling against heaven and man, and finally opened the "Pandora's Box".

  The ambition and ambition of the person behind the scenes may really be as he said, everything is for all mankind.

   But he never asked the thoughts of ordinary people who realized these ambitions and ambitions for him, like a creator in the sky, imposing his will on everyone.

   Then sacrifice a large number of people, make a small number of people happy, and arbitrarily manipulate the life and death of others. What is the difference between this behavior itself and the government of heaven, man, and the world?

  At that time, Higashinohara didn't have time to think carefully.

But during this period of time, he connected the strange demon that appeared in the sky tree last year with the strange demon who descended on the snake Guiwu at the cherry blossom crossroad in Mubetsu Town last year, but he inexplicably remembered the creation of the "funeral club" in his mind. The "Doctor" who is still missing.

At that time, from the [Character Image Profile] of Snake Guiwu, although the mysterious doctor had never shown his face even to his own people, judging from the dialogue scene, the other party seemed to be related to the Metropolitan Police Department, and might even be a person from The inner ghost of the Metropolitan Police Department.

  Then the man who invaded the radio speech under the sky tree, could it be the so-called "Doctor"?

   Higashinohara thinks this possibility cannot be ruled out.

   And the possibility is great.

   But regardless of whether the other party is the mysterious "doctor" or not, what these two people did made him feel extremely disgusted and disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

   One day, if you meet the other party who has entered the crime manual, if you try to use some so-called "high ideals" to kidnap him morally, then he will only return the sharp knife in his hand.

  In Higashinohara’s view, any sacrifice of others as a means and way to realize ideals cannot be called noble.

   This kind of sacrifice is equivalent to "murder" in his eyes.

  History has proven it countless times.

   Talk about ideals with murderers,

  I'm afraid I don't know how I will die someday.

   In the afternoon, the last practical class of the first school year was over. Many students in class F of the first year and the teacher Nakazaki Ken who taught them the practical class for a year bowed to say goodbye.

   When leaving, Mr. Nakazaki Ken shook his fist hard at Higashinohara, expressing cheer and encouragement for him to skip the academic test tomorrow to the upcoming assessment of the third grade.

   Higashinohara bowed and smiled politely.

  Out of the door of the training room, he ran into Miri Nishimaru, who was carrying a small schoolbag and had dimples on her face, and the two walked out of the academy as usual.

  Across the road from the main entrance of the academy, a bus passed by. There was a poster on the bus, which was a photo of Dongsen Hegu, the most popular "Grassroots Councilor" recently.

  Oh, by the way, the title "Member" will be changed tomorrow.

The general election ended last night, and the "Grassroots Councilor" Higashimori Kawatani defeated the councilors below him with nearly 20% of the votes in favor. He successfully won the Wano Country General Election in 1122 and became the 77th Served as Prime Minister of the Cabinet.

   Higashinohara noticed that the eyes of Miri Nishimaru beside him seemed to be on the photo of the "grassroots councilor" Higashimori Kawatani on the bus, but he lowered his head slightly and didn't know what he was thinking.

  He couldn't help but smiled and lowered his head and asked, "What are you thinking? Do you like that uncle and want him to be the next Prime Minister?"

He originally wanted to do a random "opinion survey" from around him, but he didn't expect Miri Nishimaru to suddenly raise his head when he heard Higashinohara's words, his eyes with long eyelashes were slightly red, he twitched his little nose and turned his face up Seriously asked:

   "Brother, I was thinking. If our prime minister had been replaced by this 'good uncle' sooner, would my father not have died?"

   Higashinohara couldn't help being slightly taken aback when he heard the words.

  He never imagined that what Miri Nishimaru was thinking about was these things.

   But think about it too.

  It has been two months since Tokugawa Kuritora's accident in the Nemuro Strait of the North Sea on New Year's Day. The official search and rescue ships have returned one after another, and the remaining private search and rescue ships in Hokkaido have gradually begun to give up.

  Up to now, people have almost acquiesced in the death of Tokugawa Kuritora.

   Now that Wano Country’s political arena is changing, the leader of the third investigative team, which is directly under the parliament and responsible to the Prime Minister, will undoubtedly be replaced soon.

  Although Miri Nishimaru doesn't talk about it these days, she definitely doesn't like it in her heart.

  Thinking about it carefully, if Higashinohara hadn’t shaken the eleventh adjudicator of the Judgment Department on the emperor’s birthday at the Imperial Palace, he had forcibly beheaded the Minister of Foreign Affairs Takuya Amuro.

  At this time, Takuya Amuro, who played the tragic card at the time, was far ahead in support, and today I am afraid that he will overwhelm the "grassroots member" Higashimori Kawatani to become the new Prime Minister.

   "No matter what, everything is always getting better and better." Higashinohara said suddenly.

   "Is everything getting better and better?" Miri Nishimaru murmured.

"Um."

Higashinohara smiled and nodded, "You also said just now that 'Uncle Good Man' has become the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, he is 'our Prime Minister'! He has won many things for the people that they never had before, even though this country is still I live under the shadow of heaven and man, but I believe that everything is getting better and better, isn't it?"

After listening to Higashinohara's words, Nishimaru Miri suddenly remembered the figure with a briefcase on TV not long ago, waving his arms contagiously in the square, and his indomitable face was full of earnest speeches ——That is indeed a prime minister who puts his heart and soul on the people.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but nodded her head vigorously, looked at the bus that disappeared to the western horizon, squinted her crescent-like smiling eyes and looked at Higashinohara Michi, "Well, the good uncle is 'our Prime Minister', We will all get better!"

  The two smiled and looked at each other.

  Under the afterglow of the setting sun on the horizon of the city, the figures of the two people who are drifting away gradually melt into the setting sun.

  Tianyuan calendar 1121, February 28th.

  Today is a special day for Higashinohara. This is the first time since he came to this world to participate in a formal ability level academic level test.

And today, it is a special day for many people in Wano Country—because today is Wano Country’s new Prime Minister "Grassroots Councilor" Higashimori Kawatani held an inauguration ceremony at the Imperial Palace and delivered an inaugural speech, opening the four-year term of the Cabinet Prime Minister First day of ministerial career.

Early in the morning, the six major TV stations in Wano Country announced this. On the TV, you can see that the inauguration ceremony has been arranged on the square in front of the Imperial Palace, and the golden sunflowers are placed in bunches. Around it, the reconstructed auditorium has been refurbished.

   Higashinohara glanced at it while eating breakfast, turned off the TV, changed into his clothes, picked up his bag and went out.

   After saying hello to the housewife-like aunt Kolotia next door, who has gradually adapted to life in Wano Country, Higashinohara called Miri Nishimaru to go to school together.

  Although Miri Nishimaru was specially recruited in the third semester, she still needs to take the academic proficiency test today.

   Whether she can pass is still unclear, but if the ability test scores are good enough according to the flexible system of Takehara Minami Private Academy, maybe her culture class scores can be ignored appropriately.

   As soon as the two got on the tram, Higashinohara's cell phone vibrated slightly.

   Taking advantage of not entering the tunnel, he took out his mobile phone and took a look, but his eyes could not help but froze slightly. There was a text message notification on the bright mobile phone screen.

[Congratulations on passing the first round of review by our company. Please arrive at the official residence of the Judgment Division at 2-26-5 Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku tomorrow, March 1 for the second round of interviews. After the interview, you will be informed of the next specific investigation items ,looking forward to your cooperation.

  February 28, 1122 in the Tianyuan Calendar]

   "Big brother, what's wrong?"

  In the tram, Nishimaru Miri, who was standing beside Higashinohara Yuiko, noticed the sudden change in Higashinohara's expression, and couldn't help but poked his head curiously and asked.

   Higashinohara didn’t intend to let Miri Nishimaru know about this for the time being, he didn’t want the little guy to worry about him uselessly, his face quickly returned to normal, he shook his head and smiled:

"nothing,

  A spam message. "
