Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 315 007. Counter-Terrorism (Part Two)

In its heyday, the Alden Tower was one of the most prominent landmarks in Ukyoto. Even amidst the dense urban jungle of Ukyoto, it still stood out like a crane among chickens.

After its completion, it was featured on the cover of Time magazine due to its towering and majestic appearance.

However, the building's architect certainly did not expect that the most glorious moment of this building would not end there.

It has never received as much global attention as it does now.

The terrorist attack brought the damaged building into the global spotlight.

With the consent of the authorities, the embassies of various regions broadcast this shocking news remotely.

The hosts in each district used a compassionate tone, accompanied by images of mushroom clouds billowing from the top of buildings and stretching for tens of kilometers across the sky, to report on this tragedy.

The air was filled with the sounds of sirens and ambulances; the crowd was noisy and uneasy, but it was impossible to make out what they were saying.

"Our rescue team has gone deep into the building and is now rescuing the injured. We are also broadcasting the list of victims whose identities have been confirmed in real time. Please remain calm and follow the mayor's instructions."

On television, the reporter spoke rapidly and used a megaphone to barely drown out the long, wailing sirens.

The search and rescue team arrived quickly, and rows of stretchers were carried out. The charred bodies were blurred, and some people who still showed signs of life were put into ambulances early.

People in the 16th ward and around the world watched the search and rescue operation with heavy hearts.

The list of victims is as follows:
xxx, x hours x minutes;
xxx, x hours x minutes;
......"

As the light screen moved, more and more names appeared in a corner of the huge electronic screen, and the list of victims was also updated online in real time to facilitate inquiries by their families.

Fujiwara Chizuru's dark eyebrows were tightly knitted.

If she remembered correctly, Ling was in this building.

Although he didn't like it, he still hadn't repaid the favor, and Fujiwara didn't like accepting help from others for no reason.

The White Walkers' identities are so sensitive, and now the whole world's attention is on them. Could they have been exposed? Fujiwara felt inexplicably nervous, though she didn't understand why she felt this way.

Who orchestrated this terrorist attack? It happened while Ling and the others were having a meeting. It was clearly aimed at the higher-ups of the White Walkers in District 16. Could it be an organization?
The policewoman felt a vague sense of unease; a certain balance was about to be broken.

At this moment, a name that looked somewhat familiar appeared among the victims.

"Shu Ioka Saburo, at x o'clock x minutes;"

Fujiwara Chizuru's eyes narrowed slightly.

Xiujing?
That old man who's involved with the organization?

Wait, there seems to be some important information.

A list of names flashed through Fujiwara Chizuru's mind in an instant.

She immediately logged onto the news website to check and compare the real-time list of victims.

The policewoman finally realized something was wrong.

too fast.

Even though the victims' identities were easy to confirm, she knew that even the police department couldn't match the speed at which the information was released.

Something's strange, but I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong.

as if--

Just like it was prepared in advance...

Are you kidding me? If it was prepared in advance, wouldn't that be murder?

A detective's sense of smell always comes into play in certain special places.

"Hideoka Saburo..."

Fujiwara murmured.

Suddenly, she realized!

This list is a list of White Walker officials who were recently investigated and found to be colluding with the NA organization!
At the time, she was still assisting Ling, investigating the identities of several members of parliament.

Can't go wrong.

Fujiwara was confident in her memory. She reopened the webpage and browsed the list of victims, finding an 80% overlap.

This……

Fujiwara stared in disbelief.

If even the list of the dead has already been prepared, then all of this...

The policewoman turned her gaze to the 100-meter-tall building with the huge gap in its facade, her expression growing increasingly serious.

She held a bold yet incomprehensible judgment in her mind.

The mastermind behind this terrorist attack is probably...

"We will definitely investigate this terrorist attack to the end. We hereby solemnly warn those terrorists that the social order of District 16 will absolutely not be allowed to be trampled upon like this!"

The mayor of Ukyoto was a middle-aged man with broad eyebrows and a thick nose. He had slightly dark eye bags, but he exuded an air of authority without being angry.

While he was holding an emergency press conference, the vice mayor was also busy gathering people, evacuating crowds, and guiding media opinion. Everyone was in a state of chaos.

"I guess... anyone who knows about the organization would suspect it's their doing, right?" Fujiwara said with a wry smile.

but--

Fujiwara's eyes darkened. In fact, the organization might be the biggest victim of this incident.

Following this incident, it's believed that it won't be long before this shady organization is forcibly brought to the surface.

The attack ignored economic losses, and the casualties were also very suspicious.

Although the method is unknown, if it were murder, the White Walkers would definitely be capable of it.

The peacekeeping force acted swiftly, and the Ukyoto authorities responded with remarkable speed.

It is clear that they were well prepared.

Fujiwara Chizuru's glasses gleamed slightly; she had almost finished organizing her thoughts.

She began to understand the significance of this incident.

The White Walkers' counterattack is about to begin.

The policewoman couldn't help but lean back on the cushions of her office chair, murmuring a sigh of emotion.

too crazy.

……

A red heatwave spread through the building.

The intense heat caused even the light to distort.

Inside the Alden Building.

When the helicopter crashed in, it got stuck between the 101st and 100th floors. The inertia of the floors between the building's floors became the most terrifying cutting blade, shredding the black flying object from top to bottom. In the 3D simulation, the slow-motion replay can be clearly seen.

The helicopter crashed into the building, and the points of impact crushed and shattered simultaneously. Then, the wreckage of the helicopter twisted and deformed, penetrating the building from the front and turning into sparks and countless fragments, which exploded from the back of the building.

During this time, everyone was swept up by the shockwave and heat wave, and was slammed into the walls from the front, instantly turning into cooked meat paste under the high temperature and pressure.

Or it might be reduced to unknown fragments, melted and cast into the building's walls by high temperatures, or trapped in the cockpit of an airplane, piercing through the building and falling together from a height of 500 meters.

That should be the case in theory.

But in fact, this tragedy did not occur.

More than 500 councilors were unharmed. Many of them stared in horror at their surroundings as red lava dripped down against a backdrop of black and red. Burning flames accompanied by acrid smoke surged and crashed down. Despite being in the high temperature, they felt no discomfort whatsoever.

They could even see many of their colleagues with their faces glowing with the orange-red light of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, their expressions filled with astonishment and uncertainty.

"This is--?"

Someone swallowed hard and asked cautiously.

A thin figure slowly emerged from the thick smoke, and as everyone looked, they were greeted by the old man's smiling face.

"Don't be nervous. As you can see, this is my destiny."

Kato Ren said leisurely.

"It is called the Crimson Lotus Hell."
