The villain, caught in a chaotic situation, only wants to boost his popularity.

Chapter 71 Uncovering the Ultimate Mastermind!

Second District, Sky Patrol Department

"Old Han, I knew this kind of voting would be like this."

A thin, old-haired man said fiercely.

"4:2, that still includes our Sky Patrol Department's votes."

On the other side, a fat, white-haired man said helplessly and dejectedly.

"I knew that pretty boy would win the vote in the end. Look at all the girls around him! They're obviously on his side."

The frail old man slammed his hand on the table and continued:

"Our duty is clearly to protect humanity, but these superhumans, for their own strategies, are not only failing to contain the danger but also trying to lure the snake out! It's utterly absurd."

"Old Xu, so you knew you'd lose the vote, but you still made me vote for the 'quick kill' strategy with Operator Eryin?"

The obese elderly man uttered these words unintentionally, as if he meant something else entirely.

"Of course, even knowing we'll lose, we must save everyone. Isn't that precisely the goal that led to the founding of our Sky Patrol Bureau?"

The frail old man hurriedly spoke, but the more he spoke, the angrier he became:

"As a result, even today, in such major decisions, we are only fit to play a voting role."

Even a mere level 100 operator can boss us around.

Our grandsons are all older than that hairless guy! Why should we listen to him?

The frail old man became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke:

"The current Holy Spirit Bureau's approach is absolutely flawed! It prioritizes exorcism bloodline and strength, focusing only on killing demons without considering protecting the weak."

Even if we manage to kill that damned demon tonight, how many innocent ordinary people will die in the process?

Do they really think ordinary people have no value at all?

"Yes, Sky Patrol Bureau, what a nostalgic name."

The obese old man did not respond to the thin old man's words. He sighed and stared blankly at the walkie-talkie that had turned off its microphone.

Even as the two highest-ranking officials in the Sky Patrol, they dared not utter any arrogant words in front of the Holy Spirit Bureau's special task force.

As the original maintainers of order in the human world, their sole principle was to protect the weak, yet in the end, their supreme power was easily stolen by exorcist forces.

In recent decades, they have been directly possessed by psionic forces and relegated to the lowest level, only able to handle some insignificant tasks.

"Forget it, Lao Xu, stop talking. No matter how much you say, that pretty boy from the Holy Spirit Bureau won't care."

"I'm going to say it, I'm going to say it."

The frail old man spoke without a care, like a child.

Upon seeing this scene, [Real-world comment section]:

"What's the meaning of this plot? I just don't understand it."

"This is clearly a foreshadowing by the official team; the classic villainous forces are united, while the righteous forces each hold their own version of events."

"But to put it bluntly, the Sky Patrol can't possibly challenge exorcism forces or psychic powers. In this kind of world, weapons of criticism can't replace the criticism of weapons."

I think this scene is definitely meaningful; I'm waiting for the "Skywatch Rebellion" episode.

"Good heavens, at this rate, the demonic forces might have already pushed through the 'Crystal,' while the humans are still fighting for power."

"No wonder the original visual novel was called an infinite death route. Good heavens, the world is about to end, and they're still debating who best represents humanity."

"I suggest adding: 'Sky Patrol Rebellion,' 'Psychic Rebellion,' and 'Exorcist Rebellion,' then the protagonist subdues the three factions and finally defeats the demon alone."

"We suggest remembering to strike with justice, sweeping across the land, unifying the righteous religion, and crushing the evil, for eternity!"

—Right, right?

Mu Jing glanced at the comments in front of him and joined in the吐槽 (tu cao, a form of online commentary/criticism).

It's all the production team's fault.

If it weren't for these numerous death routes, he wouldn't need to go through so much trouble now; he could just punch one demon at a time, easily defeating them and gaining immense popularity.

They even have to campaign for votes now.

But everything went as he expected.

After all, he had already begun planning when his task force was first launched.

That way, no matter what unexpected events occur, he can ensure that the situation remains under control and won't get out of control.

He glanced around the field.

Xuehua, Minsu, Yanli, and his own support for not killing.

Eryin and the Sky Patrol supported the initial killing.

The bureau chief remained neutral as always and abstained from voting.

Meanwhile, Qiong Ren, standing to the side, also raised his hand with great interest to support Mu Jing.

However, her vote doesn't count.

Final result: 4:2.

"Alright, then let's proceed according to Captain Mu's strategy. Is there anything else that needs to be arranged?"

Sui Jiu clapped his hands, bringing Mu Jing's wandering thoughts back to normal.

"Alright, then I'll need to trouble the director to stay at headquarters and ensure that security in each district remains tight."

Mu Jing looked at Sui Jiu and said.

Nodding slowly:

"Leave this to me. The task force should focus on cracking down on the Blood Cult and finding the ultimate mastermind."

Then Mu Jing looked at the walkie-talkie and gave the instructions:

"Then all personnel of the Sky Patrol Department will be on standby tonight, closely monitoring the whereabouts of all registered members who have participated in the Blood Cult, and stopping any incidents immediately."

The aged voice responded immediately.

"Received. All personnel from the Sky Patrol Department are in position."

Finally, Mu Jing turned around and scanned the crowd, saying:

"Then we should get going."

"Hmm!"

"Mirror-kun, let's go!"

"Yes, Captain."

Just then.

Mu Jing interrupted:

"Little Qiong, it's time to patrol the second district."

Mu Jing spotted the discordant note.

"Hmm! Mirror, I want to fight alongside everyone! Let's send other operators to the second area!"
