Most of the believers did not know the man who suddenly broke in, except for the Muraki couple, whose eyes flashed with a hint of fear when they saw him.
The man was naturally the Baihe police officer they were talking about.
Almost instantly, Mr. Muraki raised his hand and screamed:
"Shoot! It's him! Shoot now!"
I have to admit that this person is indeed different from ordinary people. Even in this situation of extreme fear, he can subconsciously make the best choice for himself.
That’s right, although no one knows how the boy found this place, it doesn’t matter. Now Xiao Wuwan, the gravekeeper, and the boy are all here. As long as they can kill the boy here, they can find a way to blame everything here on the gravekeeper.
This man was the murderer who killed Anzi and Mr. Hanada. When the boy was about to find out everything, he became bolder and kidnapped Kokaramaru who was working with the boy, and lured the boy here. In the end, the three of them died together.
As for this base... it doesn't matter, at worst we can just move to another one. As long as these believers are still there, as long as the cult is still there, these won't be a problem...
Mr. Muraki had a good idea, but he missed one thing.
Almost at the same time he raised his hand, the boy, who looked out of breath and exhausted, raised his hand even faster, aimed the pistol in his hand at him, and pulled the trigger without any hesitation.
"Bah!"
A gunshot rang out, and the bullet hit Mr. Muraki's forehead without any suspense, killing him instantly.
The powerful impact caused his head to lift back and his body to slowly fall backwards.
[Ah? What happened? ]
Until the last moment, his face still had that ferocious and frightened expression, and he seemed unaware of his own death.
"what--"
The next moment, Mrs. Muraki beside him suddenly let out an extremely shrill scream.
In this cult, Mr. Muraki is not the only one who is allowed to possess weapons. There are also several other believers who are very loyal to the cult.
Just now, under Mr. Muraki's order, these people almost subconsciously pulled out the pistols hidden under their robes, but with Mr. Muraki being suddenly killed, these people began to hesitate and waver in their hearts at this moment.
Although Mr. Muraki is not the leader, he has always held a leadership position in their cult.
The boy's decisive action and the killing of his backbone made them want to retreat.
However, they hesitated, but the boy did not hesitate at all.
After shooting Mr. Muraki dead, the boy's eyes instantly locked on the believers who drew their guns at Mr. Muraki's shouting.
"Boom boom boom!"
Rapid gunshots rang out one after another. The boy aimed at the believers and shot them one by one.
"Ah! Ah! Don't shoot! Don't shoot!"
"Help! Don't kill me!"
Faced with the boy's ruthlessness and decisiveness, the psychological defenses of the other believers finally collapsed completely. Those believers who had no weapons or had not yet drawn their weapons, screamed and ran around the room with their heads in their hands.
Since the boy blocked the only way out, these believers could only squeeze into the surrounding corners, curling up their bodies, for fear that the boy would notice their presence.
"Put your hands up! Get down facing the wall!"
The situation was forcibly controlled in a rather violent manner that was not in line with police rules. The boy then yelled loudly, then quickly stepped forward and ran towards the scared little Karasuma who was lying on the bed with his hands and feet tied.
"How is it? Are you injured anywhere? I heard gunshots outside earlier..."
He first helped Xiao Wuhuan untie the ropes on her body, then the boy with a nervous tone pulled her up from the bed and looked her up and down carefully.
Not long ago, the boy was heading up the mountain along the path pointed out by the gravekeeper. He had guessed that the group of people kidnapped Xiao Wuwan because of his boy. Considering that Xiao Wuwan would not encounter any danger before they achieved their goal, he initially slowed down his pace in order to conserve his energy.
Then he heard the gunshot.
The sound of gunfire came from the mountain, and the boy suddenly felt extremely uneasy and regretful. He began to run wildly all the way, rushing straight to the back mountain in one breath, and coincidentally rushed into the stronghold at the moment when Xiao Wuhuan collapsed and shouted, and forcibly controlled the situation in the room in a somewhat brutal way that was not in line with the image of a policeman.
"Woo..."
Looking at the boy who was anxiously caring about her, it seemed that only at this moment did Xiao Wuwan finally realize that she was out of danger. Her nose suddenly felt sore and her eyes were wet. She walked forward and hugged the boy who was still helping her check her body.
"Woooo! You're finally here, Wooden Man! I was really scared to death by them just now! Not only did those guys want to kill me, but they also wanted to do something terrible to me! I almost, I almost... wooooo!"
The boy was startled by her sudden action.
Yes, I was really shocked.
Being suddenly hugged by Xiao Wuwan, his body was a little stiff and he was stunned. His originally impulsive thoughts quickly calmed down at this moment, and the boy showed a rare look of helplessness.
Huizi had never cried like this in front of him before, and the boy had no brothers or sisters at home, so he had no experience in dealing with such a situation...
What should he do now? Should he hug her? Or should he say a few words of comfort?
But before the boy could figure it out, Xiao Wuwan loosened his hand, sniffed, raised his hand to rub his tearful eyes, looked at him, and whispered:
"Thanks……"
"Ah."
In the end, not knowing what to say, the boy could only put on his usual attitude and nodded calmly.
Without thinking about it anymore, after confirming that Kogumaru was not injured, the boy turned around and looked at the believers who were squatting in the corner with their hands raised, and the gravekeeper who was lying beside Kogumaru's bed, already dying.
I'm going to take a day off tomorrow. Speaking of which, I've been playing the Attack on Titan game these past two days. It's pretty good. Suddenly I want to write a fan fiction of Attack on Titan as soon as possible...
Chapter 642 Goodbye Karasuma Renya
【This incident is over. 】
Keiko Hatoyama sat at the desk in her ward and wrote this sentence in her diary.
[Although the process was thrilling, fortunately the final result was quite satisfactory. ]
Soon after the boy rescued Kogumaru, police support arrived and arrested all the cultists in that stronghold.
As for the believers who were decisively shot dead by the boy, although the boy had clearly stated that he was "forced" to fight back after they had drawn their weapons and tried to shoot him, Mr. Hatoyama still made the boy write a public review and strictly forbade him to make similar risky moves in the future.
That's right, the boy was asked to reflect on the fact that he went to rescue Karasuma alone, not on the fact that he shot.
[As for those cult members, according to the information obtained by the police during the interrogation, they seem to be members of only one stronghold within this cult. There seem to be many strongholds like theirs in the counties around Tokyo.]
[It is indeed a "powerful" cult, but as long as there are clues that can be traced, we can definitely follow the clues and dig out all these people bit by bit...]
[Of course, if we want to eradicate these cult phenomena hidden in the dark corners of the city, it is not enough to just use suppression methods. Only by finding a way to eradicate the soil that gave birth to and nourished them can we cure the symptoms and the root causes...]
[Come to think of it, this person is really patient...]
Having written here, Keiko Hatoyama suddenly stopped writing. She sighed softly and turned to look at the backlit position in the room.
There, sitting a man.
An old man, a very old man.
He was thin, with gray hair, and his skin was covered with dense wrinkles like tree bark, which looked very creepy.
When she first saw this old man, Keiko Hatoyama had this question in her mind.
How old is he? Why is he still alive?
He is the current head of the Karasuma family, the man with the strongest desires and the most arrogant imagination of mankind.
Karasuma Renye.
Unlike Karasuma Renya's skinny body that looked like a dead tree, his eyes, which had become cloudy due to age, were very bright, like a bottomless black pool that seemed to be able to sink the soul of everyone who looked into his eyes into it.
Today is the first time Keiko Hatoyama has met this person in person since that day three years ago.
Including this time, the two actually met only twice.
The first time was when Karasuma Renya first visited Mr. Hatoyama. At that time, Karasuma Renya was full of confidence and thought he could use her to successfully bring the Hatoyama family into his future plans.
Of course, he miscalculated in the end.
As for the incident three years ago, Hatoyama Keiko did not meet Karasuma Renya directly, so today is the second time in the true sense.
Although she said so, in fact, Hatoyama Keiko had no intention of meeting Karasuma Renya. This person came here on his own...
At this time in the ward, in addition to Keiko Hatoyama and Renya Karasuma, there were several men who looked like bodyguards. They stood near Keiko Hatoyama and Renya Karasuma, representing their different affiliations.
“I’ve always heard that the head of the Karasuma family is busy with family affairs and his whereabouts are unknown all day long. He is a busy man who is hard to find. Even his own daughter is left to be taken care of by the family servants.
Seeing you today, I realize that rumors are really not to be believed..."
Putting down the pen, Hatoyama Keiko looked at Karasuma Renya who was sitting in the dark and smiled softly:
"You're not Wuchan. If you were really a busy person, how could you have the time to sit in my small hospital room for so long? What do you think, Master Karasuma?"
"Humph."
With a cold snort, Karasuma Renya, who had been sitting there like a zombie, finally exuded a little breath of life.
"Little girl from the Hatoyama family, I heard that... the medical team has already gone back..."
Karasuma Renya went straight to the point. What he was referring to was the medical team that was invited from abroad to treat Hatoyama Keiko in the past two days. It is said that they have very advanced medical technology and equipment.
In order to facilitate their treatment, Keiko Hatoyama stayed in this hospital for the past two days.
Of course, in the end these people didn't play any role.
"The head of the Karasuma family is really well-informed. Grandpa just asked them to leave this morning, but you got the news so quickly. I am really... quite surprised." Hatoyama Keiko said meaningfully.
If she were just an ordinary person, this sentence would only make people feel that she was sighing and surprised, but the Hatoyama family to which she belonged still controlled the special agency of Japan's Public Security Bureau, so the meaning of this sentence was completely different.
Keiko Hatoyama was warning Karasuma Renya.
The Hatoyama family is now fully capable of dealing with your Karasuma family, so don't go too far.
Karasuma Renya could naturally hear the true meaning of her words, but he didn't intend to pay attention to it. Besides, he didn't come here today to fight with Hatoyama Keiko.
"You...will not live long." He looked straight at Keiko Hatoyama and said in his old and hoarse voice.
He seemed to have used some method to obtain the examination report on Keiko Hatoyama's physical condition from the medical team.
Keiko Hatoyama said nothing, and even her facial expression did not change. She still looked at him with that smile.
"If we work together and do our best to promote our plan, you may... still have a chance of survival..." Karasuma Renya said again.
After hearing what he said, Keiko Hatoyama couldn't help but sneer. She shook her head gently, then looked at Karasuma Renya. The smile on her face gradually faded, and her eyes became deep.
"Master Karasuma, the birth, aging, illness and death of human beings are just like the cycle of the four seasons. It is the most universal truth in this world and there is nothing that is unacceptable."
"Are you really... willing?" Karasuma Renya also looked at her.
