In an instant, the hall was boiling with excitement, and everyone started to discuss Kidd's notice enthusiastically.
Behind Philander, an old man who looked like a butler stepped forward and whispered, "Your Highness! I heard that this Japanese gem thief has never failed. Do you need me to notify the guards here to stop the Blue Sea exhibition immediately?"
"No, absolutely not!"
However, Philland firmly rejected the butler's proposal and said righteously.
"I am the prince of Luvino. How could I possibly surrender to a thief who stole gemstones? The Azure Sea is Luvino's national treasure! I am standing here with the honor of my country on my shoulders!"
"Your Highness..."
"Of course, we can't rely solely on the guards here for this matter. Quickly, mobilize all my personal guards to this area, and then find the person in charge here and ask them to tell me everything about the guards!"
"Yes!"
"Well, I leave it to you."
Watching the old butler leave, Philland...or rather, Kuroba Kaito's mouth corners slightly raised.
[Haha, everything is under control. This blue sea, I can...]
"boom!"
Suddenly, there was a deafening roar outside, and the whole building shook twice.
[This sound...what's going on? What happened outside? ]
"Everyone! Don't move!"
Before Kuroba Kaito could react, a group of strong men in camouflage uniforms and armed with guns rushed in and yelled at everyone in the hall.
Chapter 277 Trapped
"Everyone! Stand still! Don't move!"
As explosions were heard outside, a group of strong men armed with submachine guns broke into the director's room of Nanye Building.
These people were all wearing bulletproof vests and black masks, and looked like terrorists in movies and TV dramas.
"Who are you?" The director looked at the group in horror and asked loudly.
"Haha! We are liberators!" A sturdy man laughed with an inexplicable smile in his tone.
【Liberator?】
Standing by the window, after hearing this name, Qingshui Jing carefully recalled the various strange organization names she had encountered since she joined the organization, and finally came to a definite conclusion.
never heard of that.
Terrorist organizations that she had never heard of were usually small organizations that were too weak to be worth mentioning.
Of course, judging from the explosion outside just now and the weapons and equipment of these people, the term "small organization" obviously cannot be applied to them.
If we rule out this possibility, there are only two possibilities left.
First, this was a newly emerged terrorist organization, so the organization was unable to obtain intelligence on them.
Second, "Liberator" is a fictitious name, and the real name of this organization is not it.
Or, you can combine these two possibilities...
"Hey! Those two standing by the window!"
At this moment, a sturdy man pointed a gun at Shizuka Shizuka and Hattori Heiji who had walked to the window earlier, gestured to the long broadcasting table in the middle of the room, and shouted:
"Stand up here! Everyone, stand in front of the table! And you too! Stand up and move to the front of the table!"
[Do you want to gather everyone together to make it easier to control? ]
Without any resistance, Qingshui Jing raised her hands and walked over.
"Tsk." Looking at the black muzzle of the gun opposite, Hattori Heiji curled his lips, and like Shizuka Shizuka, he raised his hand and walked over.
"What exactly do you want to do?" A host raised his hands above his head and asked in a trembling voice.
"Don't be nervous, brother. You are not our target." The strong man patted the host on the shoulder and said with a smile under the other's horrified eyes:
"Don't worry, the Liberator is a principled organization. All you need to do is cooperate well and we won't hurt you."
But it was obvious that his words did not calm the panicked people in the room.
Standing behind the crowd, the director who had first questioned the situation quietly took out the cell phone from his pocket and tried to dial the police number.
However, his small action was immediately discovered by the strong man who was monitoring everyone.
But the sturdy man had no intention of stopping him. Instead, he grinned and said with interest, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that the signal on this artificial island has been hijacked by us.
Right now on this island, there is no signal that can be transmitted to the outside world. If you don't believe me, you can try it. The same goes for those who want to secretly call the police. Feel free to try. Don't worry, we won't stop you."
"W-what?" As if to confirm the sturdy man's words, a picture indicating that the call could not be dialed popped up on the director's mobile phone screen.
"Could it be that the abnormality of the radio tower this morning was caused by you guys?"
"Of course, we put a lot of effort into successfully hijacking the radio tower..."
"What's the situation now?" As soon as the sturdy man finished speaking, another man walked in from outside the director's room.
This man was also wearing a bulletproof vest, but unlike his companions, he was not wearing a hood. His ferocious-looking face was clearly visible to everyone.
"Boss!"
"Are you Kazuo Ohkouchi?!" Someone among the crowd recognized the man.
"Huh? You actually know me?" The man named Kazuo Ohkouchi turned his head and looked at the person who called out his name with some surprise.
"You, weren't you put in jail by the police for murder? Why, why would you..."
"Yeah, shouldn't I be in jail? Why am I here?"
After giving this man a meaningful look, Kazuo Ohkouchi did not explain. He turned to look at the sturdy man and asked, "I didn't ask you to come here for show. The scheduled time is almost here. Have you made all the necessary preparations?"
"Haha, right away! Right away, big brother...you! Come here!"
The director was pulled out from the crowd. The sturdy man pointed his gun at him and said viciously, "Go, adjust all those messy devices of yours! Connect them to all the playback devices on the island! Quickly! Do you hear me?!"
"Okay, okay..."
Under the threat of gunpoint, the director decisively gave in, called two staff members, and went to the control room next to the director's room under the supervision of a strong man with a gun.
As these people left, the room fell into extreme silence for a while, and everyone deliberately suppressed their voices for fear of causing dissatisfaction among these gun-wielding strong men.
"Heiji..." Toyama Kazuha's face turned pale and she shrank towards Hattori Heiji.
What do they want to do?
"Don't be afraid." Patting her shoulder, Hattori Heiji whispered to comfort her, while his eyes swept over the terrorists in the room one by one.
【These people are not ordinary. 】
He vaguely noticed that the positions of these terrorists were not random.
Except for Kazuo Ohkouchi who came in last, the other terrorists were deliberately dispersed in various parts of the room instead of standing together in a disorderly manner.
Gather everyone in the middle area without any obstructions, and then distribute them around to form a firepower network, so that these terrorists can suppress the possibility of rioting and resistance to the greatest extent.
This is very special, as it at least proves that these terrorists are not "ordinary people with guns" but have most likely undergone a certain degree of military training.
Shizuka Shizuka also noticed this, but unlike Hattori Heiji, she was already thinking about how to take these people down.
But the trouble was that she didn't find a suitable method.
It's not that she doesn't have the ability. In fact, if she sacrifices some of the hostages, she still has a very high probability of getting rid of all the people in the room.
The core of the problem is that Suzuki Ayako is also here, and she is not sure whether she can knock down the people in the room while ensuring Suzuki Ayako's safety.
Headache……
Qing Shuijing sighed softly in her heart.
[We must find a way to spread the situation on this island as soon as possible...]
"Zizi!"
After a not-so-long wait, it seemed that the operation in the control room was completed. The broadcast in the director's room suddenly made an electric sound, followed by a man's voice.
"Good afternoon everyone, I am Hei Lai Jingzhi from the Liberator Organization."
Chapter 278 Act individually
"Good afternoon everyone, I am Hei Lai Jingzhi from the Liberator Organization."
In the banquet hall of Xiye Building, a scene suddenly appeared on the LCD TV screen hanging on the wall.
The picture shows a middle-aged man with gray hair and a suit. There is a hideous scar on his left eye. His gaze is so sharp that even through a TV screen, it can make everyone present feel like a thorn in the throat.
"What is that? Who is he?"
“Is this some kind of terrorist attack?”
"What are those police officers doing? They get so much money from us every year, how come they can't even do such a small thing?"
"Call the police immediately and let them handle it..."
"Quiet! Everyone be quiet! If anyone dares to make any more noise, I will shoot him!"
In the banquet hall, masked muscular men with guns fired several shots at the ceiling, silencing the increasingly noisy crowd in the banquet hall.
And on TV, Lai Jingzhi's speech continued.
"Japan has long been controlled by some evil organizations. From economy to politics to society, those poisonous insects who only dare to live in the dark have unknowingly influenced and even controlled our country...
The Liberator is not a terrorist organization, but a justice league formed by a group of brave idealists who dare to fight against evil...
After a long investigation, the Liberator has found a group of members of that evil organization. Through this commemoration of the first anniversary of Clover Hill, we will expose all these poisonous insects and let them accept the judgment of the sun...
Next, we will broadcast the faces of these people one by one on TV, and the righteous liberators will take them to Beiye and broadcast the footage of their trial to the whole country..."
When Hei Lai Jingzhi finished his speech, the TV screen suddenly went distorted. After a brief silence, suppressed conversation sounds suddenly rang out in the banquet hall.
This time, the gun-wielding strong men around them did not stop them.
"They said liberators?"
"What kind of evil organization is controlling Japan? And they call themselves the righteous liberators? It's just an excuse to rob money!"
