Tokyo: Parasite

Chapter 371 141: Raising the Flag

Guru
Gululu.
A husband half opened his eyes drowsily, and seemed to hear the sound of flowing water coming from somewhere.

"Meihe. Hmm? Meihe?"

He reached for the other side of the bed but found nothing.

Where is the wife?
He became much more awake and jumped out of bed. With the dim light, he could see that the place where his wife used to sleep was empty.

The husband reached out and carefully felt his wife's quilt. It was already cold, which meant that his wife had been away for at least a few minutes.

I listened carefully to the sound of flowing water again, and it was actually the sound of drinking water.

Does it take that long to drink water?

He looked at the bedside table beside him and saw his wife's water cup lying there quietly, so what was she drinking?
He was a little confused, so he pulled back the quilt and shivered. It was really cold during the New Year this year.

With his arms folded, he put on his shoes and walked a few steps to the living room.

In the darkness, two figures, one tall and one short, were each holding a bottle of water and drinking from it.

"Meihe?"

The husband cried out and fumbled to turn on the light.

With a click, the light came on, illuminating the living room brightly, but the husband was frightened.

Because his wife and son were drinking water while staring at him with their eyes wide open.

"Yingzhi, you're awake now. Do you want some water?" The wife put down the bottle and asked with a smile.

The husband rubbed his eyes. The strange scene just now seemed to be his illusion. His wife and children were looking at him normally.

"I'm not thirsty, okay? Drink some." The husband was about to shake his head, but he saw that his wife had already taken out his cup and poured water into it.

Although he would take boxes of water home on weekdays, it was mainly because it was free and convenient for his family. He usually preferred to drink tea.

Guru
"Okay, go to bed and have a good dream tonight."

The wife smiled gently.

The husband climbed onto the bed drowsily, closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep.

The next day.

The family of three woke up almost at the same time, without saying a word, quietly and strangely finished their breakfast, and then got into the husband's car.

At the same time, in the six counties of the Northeast, a large number of people, either on foot or by car, rushed to official agencies and the headquarters of the Special Affairs Bureau with almost the same purpose.

"Punish the traitors and purge the emperor's entourage! Punish the traitors and purge the emperor's entourage!"

A large number of people shouted slogans in a solemn and excited manner, and surrounded various institutions with cars and human waves, directly paralyzing official operations in a short period of time.

"Oh my god. What's going on?"

"That's, that's the chief!"

"Why is the Minister in here too?!"

"Punish the traitors and purge the emperor's entourage!"

"Meita! Why are you joining in too?!"

The slogans spread like a virus. The temporarily assembled security force was limited and could only block the entrance of the office building and resist the increasingly restless crowd.

"I feel the master's decree. The time has come! We will usher in our sacred mission today!"

"Damn it, Nanchuan, what the hell are you screaming about?!"

"Ah! What are you crazy about? Stop, stop!"

In the midst of the difficult defense, a few people suddenly turned against their own side and attacked their colleagues. The defense line, which was already on the verge of collapse, was instantly torn open, and countless people rushed in frantically through the hole.

One guard after another was trampled under the feet of the crowd, and after struggling for a while, they slowly fell silent.

"Punish the traitors and purge the emperor's entourage! Dismiss the Prime Minister, blame Noguchi! Dismiss the Prime Minister, blame Noguchi!"

In the office building, as official personnel began to join in, the operation of the entire place came to a complete standstill.

One after another, the stubborn and restless beings were brought out and given the "holy water".

In the office of the governor of Fukushima Prefecture, the governor looked at the subordinates who walked in with fanatical expressions. They had lost their former humility. He forced himself to be dignified and shouted, "Do you know what you are doing? This is rebellion! You can't go against the army at all. It's useless even if you coerce as many civilians as possible!"

"The Special Affairs Bureau already knows the situation here and will arrive soon. By then, the extraordinary people you rely on will definitely not be their opponents! Now that you have realized it, I can still pretend that nothing has happened. Don't be stubborn anymore!"

Several people smiled disdainfully.

"The leader will definitely lead us to rescue the emperor and restore the country. Stubborn elements like you should have been executed directly, but my sect is merciful and has given you a chance to be reborn and join us." The director came out with a bottle of water and slowly approached the governor with a few people.

"What do you want to do?! I order you to stop--woo!"

Several people worked together to pour the water directly into the governor's mouth.

"Take him away. When he wakes up, he will come to his senses. Let's go! Let's go to the next place!"

The huge crowd seemed extremely well-organized, constantly capturing one "stronghold" after another. Most of the armed forces had been infiltrated long ago and had now become the backbone of the believers.

"This is rebellion, total rebellion!"

Urgent reports from the head of the local Special Affairs Bureau branch were sent to the Kyoto Special Affairs Bureau like snowflakes.

Kuroki Shinizumi knew with E. coli that there must be extraordinary forces behind this. The most likely ones are naturally the remnants of those families, who took advantage of the fact that the latter had no time to deal with affairs in remote areas and used civilians to stir up rebellion, indirectly weakening their power.

If they did not respond to the challenge, the six counties in Northeast China would probably declare independence from the government and establish their own country the next day, forcing them to respond.

"Director Kuroki, news has also come from the Four Kingdoms that a supernatural rebellion has occurred, causing a large number of casualties."

".I see."

Kuroki Shinizumi frowned and took out his cell phone.

Now she is the nominal deputy director and has the right to know and make suggestions on these matters, while the direct decision-making power lies with Takeshi Noguchi.

She thought for a while and finally called Takeshi Noguchi who was in Nara.

The call was quickly picked up.

"What do you think?" she asked directly. She had received the news, so Noguchi must have known it before her.

"Shikoku dispatched two countermeasure teams. The Tohoku region assigned Saga Toshiya's team to coordinate with the Chubu and Kanto regions to handle the situation."

"Then there is only one team left with you?"

"That's enough, that's what they want."

".Okay, be safe."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Takeshi Noguchi looked at Saga in front of him and said: "The Tohoku region is now under your full responsibility. You must eradicate all evil. I only want results." "I understand." Saga Toshiya nodded.

Noguchi Takeshi’s meaning was very simple. To cause such a large-scale turmoil, the local powerful families must have been involved.

Originally, for the sake of stability, he had not carried out too much crackdown on local forces. Now, things were good, as chickens from Northeast China and Shikoku were delivered to him, and he could just kill them to scare those monkeys.

Saga Shunya looked to the other side, where sat a person who had apparently left the country.

William.

"Mr. Saga, can't bear to leave me?" William winked at Saga.

Saga's face fell: "Director Noguchi's safety is in the hands of Sir William."

"Oh, Noguchi and I have been together through thick and thin, how could I just watch him get into danger?" William clicked his tongue and shook his head, "And don't you underestimate your own director? With his current strength, facing those evil terrorists, he is like a god descending from heaven, a judge coming out, or a three-headed dog of hell. He would have to fight hard against them."

"Besides, don't we still have Toyokawa? I'm just Noguchi's backup."

Saga looked strange: "Toyokawa is helping to strengthen the defense of Iki Island and did not come."

"Huh? I always thought that Toyokawa was here." William looked around, "Toyokawa? Toyokawa kid?"

There was indeed no movement around.

"Good man, you are so greedy?" William looked at Noguchi with amusement.

Noguchi drank a sip of tea calmly and said, "We don't have enough manpower, so we have to be greedy. The polluters in Kyoto and Tokyo are still causing trouble from time to time. It's rare for Iki Island to get a piece of land. If we give up and want to enter again, we don't know how many more people will be sacrificed. The headquarters must also arrange enough manpower to train and deter those new extraordinary people who have defected."

"My eyes are filled with tears. If I were Japanese, I would definitely vote for Noguchi to be the new emperor." William pretended to wipe away his tears.

"That would give a lot of people an excuse to really rebel. There would be more trouble than benefit. That position..." Noguchi shook his head. He had no desire for that position at all. He only felt it was trouble.

This country should have thrown the emperor into the trash long ago.

But Noguchi still needs to consider people's acceptance level.

However, he vaguely knew that the emperor was secretly cooperating with the remnants of the family, and he deliberately indulged them.

If the emperor plays with fire and gets burned one day, he can't be blamed for "shedding tears and beheading the emperor."

Noguchi looked down at the map of Nara City.

Now that I have arranged everything as you would like, it is your turn to make your move.

Fukushima Prefecture.

Mental hospital.

The chaos eventually spread to this place.

A large number of people broke through the blockade of some normal medical organizations and released all the patients inside.

"Stop it! What the hell are you doing? They all need treatment!"

Dr. Miyazaki, who had met Kawakami once, tried frantically to stop them and refused to drink water, which finally angered the leader of the group.

"Beat him! He doesn't listen to my teachings and is unredeemable!"

Several strong young men immediately put down their work and started punching and kicking the old man. Soon, Dr. Miyazaki's screams were heard.

"Everyone, rest assured, as long as we follow the arrangements and listen to the guidance of the leader, we will all be reborn and bring a beautiful and bright future to this country!"

"What are you doing! Why are you beating up the doctor?!"

Sasaki, wearing a tattered white hat, walked out of the ward in confusion. He immediately saw Dr. Miyazaki who was beaten. He rushed forward and used his stronger body to push those people away.

"Captain! Those people are here to save us!" shouted the mentally ill patient who had played the fleet game with him.

"Those people in white coats are evil people. Once the seal is lifted, I will beat them to death!" This is a mentally ill person with violent tendencies.

"My friend, from today on, you are free! You don't have to be oppressed by these people anymore. Come on, join us and give up those stubborn guys. They are destined to be destroyed along with the old world!" The leader took a few steps forward and extended his hand to Sasaki with a bright smile.

Sasaki helped Miyazaki up, who stood up trembling slightly and said weakly: "Don't believe them, run, leave here, they are rebels."

After hearing this, Sasaki seemed furious and stared at the leader: "Are you rebelling?!"

"No, we are restoring order!" the team leader corrected with a stern look on his face, shaking his head at the few people who had just been pushed away by Sasaki, signaling them to surround Sasaki again.

"This is rebellion!" Sasaki retorted loudly.

The leader shook his head. "Another pathetic person who refused to listen to advice and insisted on giving up his bright future. Forget it. There is no point in explaining to a mentally ill person. Let's fight. I don't want to hear him speak again."

"Everybody, everybody, don't listen to what he says, he is a traitor! We can't help the evil!" Sasaki shouted. Several mentally ill people who were close to him were eager to try, but after comparing the number of people on both sides, they quickly behaved themselves.

Those who come to treat mental illness are not necessarily fools.

Sasaki pushed Dr. Miyazaki away and said, "Doctor, run and find reinforcements. I will stop him—"

A stick hit Sasaki hard on the head.

In between the severe pain, some images flashed through my mind.

[The Izumo is evacuated, and the on-site command is handed over to the Kaga. Let Kitano be the on-site commander! Order them to annihilate the ghost fleet at all costs! Sasaki, you will issue the order.]

[Commander? We can't abandon them and run away. This is betrayal! Morale will be completely destroyed—]

[This is not running away! This is strategy! I am the commander. Go, follow my orders, which are also the Prime Minister's orders! ]

[.Sasaki-kun, you have to know that the flagship retreat order and the command exchange order were issued by you. There are clear records on the Izumo. You said surveillance? Sorry, the surveillance in the command room has been removed long ago. We can't just listen to your one-sided words and say that this was the Prime Minister's order. Our Prime Minister was just coerced by Commander Yoshida and had to follow it.]

[Think about your family. You are just an advisor to Yoshida Hide. You don't need to take the blame for those higher-ups, right? He asked you to issue orders, isn't he just using you as a shield for those people? Sign this document, and we will keep you out of jail, and no one will come after you. You should always think about yourself. Think about your three-year-old daughter.]

[Traitor! You are betraying your country! You are betraying your comrades! You are a coward!]

Blood dripped down his head to his cheeks. Sasaki's red eyes were bloodshot. He covered the bleeding wound on his head with his right hand, and his eyes were fixed on the rebel who was wielding the stick.

"You. Rebels. I have not, and will not, commit treason."

He pounced on the man suddenly, and his long-trained body and skills made them so helpless that they were severely punished.

"What do you like? Let's go together!"

The leader waved his hand in disdain, and more people rushed towards Sasaki, using their teeth, nails, and daggers, in a disorderly and desperate attempt to hurt him.

"Doctor, run!"

"The people are on the ship!"

"Combined Fleet, die!"

After all, he was alone, and soon he fell completely on a big rock. His blood dyed the whole stone red, and his flesh and blood seemed to merge with it. Then, he slowly became silent.

"See? People like him are the ones who betray the country and the emperor, and this is their only fate. Don't be led astray!"

The leader pointed at Sasaki's body and said so.
