The fact is, Tokyo is too safe, so safe that these idle street urchins are so full of energy that they don't even know their own weight.
It would be fine if you were just pretending with the cursed children. Children are kind by nature and will not easily resist. But do you dare to protest in the face of guns from the police and the Self-Defense Forces?
It is now ten years after the Gut War. Except for flying by plane, there is no land transportation at all, and every area is closed.
Protesting against violent organizations in a closed area is nothing but seeking death.
……
The Holy Emperor frowned slightly.
She changed into casual clothes, slightly concealed her face, and walked down the street watching the chaos.
In the past, if the order was given by her personally, she would only stay in the holy residence to receive information from all sides and take charge of the overall situation.
Even if she is just a vase, or even a stamp, she must stay in the center of the storm at this critical moment.
But it’s different now. For the safety of the entire Tokyo, even if she couldn’t bear it, she couldn’t say anything to the people below. Even if she said something, the Self-Defense Forces and police officers below might not listen.
Many of these people could probably guess that the Tokyo district, which had originally discriminated against the Cursed Children, had suddenly changed its attitude and would directly shoot anyone who attacked the Cursed Children... This 180-degree change in attitude must have been the order of someone.
If the Holy Emperor was more gentle in enforcing the law and there was no rebellion, then these people would be considered loyal enough.
She was a little worried because she had been taught since childhood that violence could not solve any problems and that violence would only lead to more violence.
The Holy Emperor is a very naive person. What is naive about her is not her abilities, but her ideas.
She is a person who hopes for world peace and really intends to take action - the "New Gastrula Law" that does not meet her current interests at all is one of her actions.
Because she was worried about the situation in the Tokyo district, she took the initiative to enter the Tokyo district to observe the situation. The Holy Emperor thought that if someone was dissatisfied with violent law enforcement, then she might be able to stand up and try to ease their anger.
But the more she wandered around Tokyo, the more confused she became.
...Why is it so peaceful?
After a few gunshots, almost all areas calmed down, and the people on the streets dispersed directly. There were hardly any people gathering to cause trouble.
The Holy Emperor was confused.
The bodyguard beside him coughed dryly, and explained according to what Tendou Kikunosho had instructed him to do.
"Lord Saint Emperor, this is the reality."
"They either die at the hands of the gastrula in the near future, or die right now. They just chose the latter."
"People's hearts and minds are useful. These people will feel resentful after witnessing violent law enforcement... but so what?"
“How many people can turn this resentment into victory?”
"Besides, Tokyo people don't have so many lofty ideals. What Tokyo people believe in is that neither you nor I should cause trouble to each other, even if it's just taking pictures on the road..."
"Even if someone kills someone on the street, as long as it has nothing to do with them, there will be countless people who will turn a blind eye."
"Your Excellency the Holy Emperor has studied the history of our country. You should know what the situation was like in our country during the post-war period. We once wanted to follow the footsteps of Kyushu and the Russian bear and embark on that path... but in the end, wasn't it cut off with the support of the United States?"
"In the past, Lord Tendo taught you ideals."
“Now, what’s before you is reality.”
"To achieve your dreams, you need wisdom, perseverance... and most importantly, timing."
"Lord Saint Emperor, this is the last lesson that Tian Tongqing will give you."
"It's up to you to choose the path you want to take in the future."
Chapter 37 Lying Down
at the same time.
All the artificial satellites in the sky were shot down by the stage five protogastric animals, and the signal facilities on the ground were basically destroyed in the wild.
The people of the Tendo family who had already left had no idea of the changes that had taken place in Tokyo.
Tiantong and Guang crossed fifty kilometers and arrived at the ladder.
Sitting in front of the launch pad, Tendou and Guang's faces were slightly flushed and their breathing was a little rapid.
Next, he just needs to wait for his subordinates in Tokyo to contact him.
He himself had no way to connect to Tokyo, but there were devices in the ladder to communicate with Tokyo - after all, the ladder was a device manufactured with a large amount of national strength of the island country, and it itself was a large signal source and receiver.
Contacting Tokyo is not a problem.
When the protogastrics in stage five appeared, the only solution was the ladder. He just had to sit here and wait for Tokyo to have no other cards, then he would make conditions to Tokyo and that would be it.
Publicize his deeds of saving Tokyo, succeed the position of head of Tendo family, get promoted... he is not in a hurry anyway.
Phase five is heading towards Tokyo. He is very safe here. If he cannot negotiate favorable conditions for him, he will have lived in vain all these years.
Putting their feet on the console, Tendou and Guang collapsed, unable to suppress their inner excitement and whistling.
"...Wa Guang, do you think you won?"
A slightly deep middle-aged male voice appeared behind him.
Tiantong Heguang's face suddenly changed and he quickly turned his chair around. A middle-aged man was pointing a gun at his forehead.
"How did you get in?"
Tiantong and Guang gritted their teeth and said that he had brought a large number of people to guard outside.
"Master He Guang, I was the one who brought them in."
Someone on the side said, he straightened his collar and said faintly: "Sorry, I'm the insider."
The middle-aged man sneered: "He Guang, I really didn't expect you to be so arrogant. Do you think your little tricks can be hidden from father? To tell you the truth, you are just a bait. The one who will really become the head of the Tiantong family is me."
A bright light flashed in Tiantong and Guang’s minds.
"Wait, I have..."
At the moment of death, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Of course he was not stupid, and he would believe everything Tendo Kikunosuke wrote in his diary, but the problem was that the things in the diary were too detailed, especially the parts involving Tendo Kikunosuke. Some of them could not be forged at all. When he compared it with what happened in the past, he knew that the old man was really using him as cannon fodder.
Therefore, he directly rebelled against Tendo Kikunosuke, because he did not believe that Tendo Kikunosuke would reveal his 'perfect' plan to him.
What is the picture?
But when the middle-aged man appeared in front of him, he suddenly realized that he had been cheated.
——Then the person in front of me must have been deceived.
You are the next head of the Tendo family? Impossible.
You are also being calculated.
Tiantong and Guang are about to say that we have all been deceived and are now grasshoppers on the same rope.
"Goodbye forever." The middle-aged man in front of him said lightly and was about to pull the trigger.
"Yes, goodbye."
Outside the door, several bullets were shot at the middle-aged man. Fortunately, the heir of the Tiantong family knew some family martial arts, and the middle-aged man dodged and was only shot in the leg.
"Impossible, how did you appear here? I was outside..."
The middle-aged man's face changed drastically and he shouted, but suddenly stopped halfway.
His confidants appeared beside the latecomers.
"…Sorry, Master, I am the traitor."
Middle-aged man: "..."
Hey!
Why did he feel that the scene before him was so familiar?
At that moment, just like ten seconds ago, he was pointing at Tiantong and Guang.
And at this moment, another man walked in from the door.
Everyone in the Tiantong family: "..."
Four eyes facing each other.jpg
Damn it, Tendou Kikunosuke, are you kidding us?
It was Tendou Kazuhiko who calmed down first. He had read Kikunosuke's plan, which contained some disguises in key parts but was generally credible, otherwise he would not have been so easily deceived and came to the ladder.
As for the others… tricking them into coming to the ladder and tricking them into following him are actually two different levels of difficulty.
As long as Kikunosuke can grasp the thoughts of his children and leak some clues, it will be enough to make these people take action.
Tiantong Heguang took a deep breath, shared some of the information he had obtained, and said: "Listen to me, I suggest that everyone here cooperate temporarily. The old man tricked us here and definitely has no intention of letting us go back."
"The only trump card we have in our hands to negotiate with the old man is the ladder in front of us, the protogastric animals in the fifth stage. Only the ladder can..."
"What a joke! How could the old man not have thought of this?" Someone sneered, "You said that the Seven Stars' Legacy can summon Stage Five. Fine, I'll just take this as the truth."
"…The legacy is in the hands of the old man. Now Phase Five is heading to Tokyo. Can't the old man just get a helicopter and take the legacy away? Will Phase Five go to Tokyo?"
Tendou Waguang: "..."
Yeah, that’s right!
Phase Five is not aimed at destroying Tokyo, it is enough to just send away the relics.
Tian Tong and Guang coughed dryly. I couldn't let these people find out that I was blinded by the benefits. I covered it up and said, "Of course I know. I mean, the ladder has the power to kill the fifth stage, so it can naturally be used to threaten Tokyo."
"Get out of the way."
One of them pulled Tendou and Hikaru off their chairs and sat at the console, tapping away for a moment before nodding slightly.
“I didn’t expect that the half-finished ladder could actually be activated.”
The Tendo male sitting at the console smiled and said, "I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly."
