Chapter 818 Meaning

Everyone in the room was staring at Eriko, ready to hear from her what "purification" meant and what exactly this organization wanted to do to Japan.

"I hope you understand." Eriko said, "Although I organized the bomb attack plan in Tokyo, I don't know the details of the organization's 'purification' plan. I only have a vague understanding of the outline of 'purification'."

"Even you don't understand the details of the 'Purification' operation." Nishino said in disbelief, "You should at least be considered a senior member of the organization!"

"As I said just now. We all transmit information through messengers. No one can understand the full picture of this organization." Eriko said.

"Then tell me what you know first." Kitahara said.

"The goal of our organization is, as I just said, 'purification'," Eriko said, "The so-called 'purification' has three meanings."

"Three meanings?!" Nishino frowned. A bad feeling rose in the heart of the police chief. For some reason, he began to feel that the organization behind Eriko might be the most difficult opponent he had ever encountered in his life.

"The first level of purification," Eriko continued, "refers to the purification of the body."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the police officers in the room changed drastically. When they heard about physical purification, they naturally thought of some kind of large-scale attack on the public.

"How do you purify it?" Kitahara stared at the woman in front of him.

"If we want to purify this country, we must first purify the sinners." Eriko, "There are some sinners whose sins are so serious that they must be purified physically."

"Who are these so-called sinners!!" Nishino became even more anxious, "What do you want to do?"

"Destroy their bodies." Eriko said, "This is the meaning of 'purification'. Only by abandoning the sinful body can the soul be reborn. As for who these sinners are, please allow me to quote a story from Western Christianity. The gods once sent down a punishment from heaven and destroyed two cities."

After hearing Eriko say this, the police in the room all looked extremely serious.

"You mean, this organization is going to launch a large-scale attack on two cities in the East?!" Nishino couldn't control his emotions. "Is this what you call purification?! Your purification is to kill innocent people?!"

"You are not right." Eriko said, "No one is innocent. The reason why the upper class can become the upper class is essentially because they respond to the needs of the lower class to a certain extent. The evil embodied by the upper class is, to a certain extent, the embodiment of the lower class. Therefore, the purification here certainly includes ordinary people."

"Rather, the ultimate source of evil is the people." Eriko's words were so cold that they were frightening.

When Kitahara heard Eriko's words, he didn't expect that this organization was so crazy as to launch an attack on two cities in the East.

One of the locations, needless to say, is Tokyo.

So where would the other location be?

Kyoto?

Osaka?

Kobe?

Both are possible, hard to say.

Nishino went straight up and grabbed Eriko by the collar, "Tell me quickly!! Which two cities are you planning to attack?!"

"I said, I don't know the details of the plan." Eriko replied coldly, "You may think we are crazy. But the fact is, if there is no bloody reality in front of them, people will not wake up. They will only continue to indulge in fantasy and live like pigs!"

"You really are!" Nishino raised his hand, about to punch her. "Don't you want to hear what's next?" Eriko said.

Nishino's fist stopped in mid-air and did not fall.

Yes, the sheriff remembered that Eriko had just said that "purification" has three meanings.

This is just the first level.

"Speak!!!" Nishino roared.

"The second meaning of 'purification' is to purify power." Eriko said, "The purification just now was for the people of the world. Then when the soil is clean, we can move on to the next stage. Start purifying the fruits of the trees on the soil. That is, for those in power."

"Are you going to assassinate the top brass?" Nishino said.

"You should pay attention to the word our organization uses, it's 'purification'," Eriko said, "Our term is not 'destruction'. There is a world of difference between 'destruction' and 'purification'. The former is just pure destruction. But the latter is committed to making things more perfect and better."

"What on earth does this mean?! Please explain it more clearly!" Nishino said angrily.

"I'm afraid what she meant is-" Kitahara said beside him, "This organization is not only trying to assassinate high-ranking officials in power, its ultimate goal is to gain power. That is to control the cabinet of Toyo and create what their organization calls a 'clean' faction. The so-called purification of power is essentially their attempt to seize power."

Nishino was completely stunned after hearing Kitahara's words.

This extreme organization actually wants to seize the highest power.

This is simply a fantasy.

"So, when you carried out the bomb attack in Tokyo, you called the Asahi Shimbun and exposed the donation scandal of the Cabinet Minister of General Affairs Terada." Kitahara said, "The goal of your organization is the parliamentary election in April next year, right? You want to disrupt the situation by launching attacks in two cities in the East. Then you can fish in troubled waters in the election and get enough votes to form a cabinet."

In just a moment——

Kitahara connects the so-called purification of the body with the purification of power.

The so-called physical purification in the first step is just a preparation for the subsequent power purification.

It is estimated that they want to use the attack to stir up public dissatisfaction with the authorities.

Just like Eriko did in Tokyo.

Create a so-called image of someone who speaks for the people.

After hearing this, Eriko still didn't say anything.

"Why don't you speak?!" Nishino shouted, "Why don't you answer!!"

"You still think too narrowly of our organization." Jiang Lizimei laughed, "Do you think we care about the struggle for power like you do? Do you think we are as deceitful as you are? Our goal has never been to seize this power or that power. Such a goal is nothing more than falling into the cycle of Eastern history again and again."

"I say it again! Our organization is for purification. To purify power!!! Not to fight for power!!"
