I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 196 and 198: What if a person had no heart?

"Bang!"

After a fleeting flash of light, the air was filled with the acrid smell of gunpowder.

"Clang clang clang," the brass cartridge case bounced on the ground with a crisp sound, and the Kamen Rider fell heavily to the ground.

Everyone in the living room, including the Yakuza, was dumbfounded.

"Dad!" "Husband!"

After a moment of silence, the mother and daughter from the Tosu family threw themselves at the Kamen Rider and began to cry and scream.

"Ku-ge is still got it! His marksmanship is absolutely amazing, one shot, one kill!"

Ya Kuza looked at the Black Star pistol in Ku Ge's hand with a mixture of surprise and envy, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

The others nodded in agreement.

Although they had done their fair share of kidnapping and murder, they were not authorized to use handguns. In the Asato Group, only high-ranking officers were allowed to carry firearms.

Unlike his underlings, Brother Ku was not excited. After firing the shot and confirming that the Bird Nest Hero had fallen, the first thing he did was to squat down and pick up the spent cartridges.

In Japan, where gun and ammunition control is strict, using a handgun is no small matter. Even the usually lax and slow-witted Shizuoka Prefectural Police Headquarters will have to go all out to investigate.

Even if this Black Star pistol was smuggled from overseas, there's no guarantee that the police won't track it down by looking at the cartridge cases.

"Brother Ku, are you alright...?"

A henchman walked over, but before he could finish his greeting, Brother Ku, looking impatient, kicked him in the stomach, almost making him vomit.

"You bunch of useless trash! Just standing there like idiots without moving an inch, how have I been teaching you all this time?!"

Brother Ku, his face full of anger, cursed:

"When I was captured by Tosu, you should have used the hostages to threaten him into releasing them, instead of exchanging hostages with him. As long as this mother and daughter are in our hands, Tosu can be completely controlled; we could even make him commit suicide without any problem."

The experienced Ku Ge immediately spotted the weakness of the Birds' Nest Hero.

Besides being an indecisive, soft-hearted child, his biggest weakness is his family.

That's exactly what gave Brother Ku the opportunity to turn the tables.

That being said, back then, who would dare to bargain with the Toriyama Hero with their own life? Afterwards, Brother Ku would definitely settle scores with them.

Ku Ge was just venting his anger.

"Waaah, Daddy, wake up!"

"husband!"

Hearing the cries of the mother and daughter, Ku Ge scratched his head impatiently and said:

"What are you all standing there for? You won't move until the police arrive, huh? Arrest these two sluts, and hurry up! You've already wasted so much time; the police might already be on their way!"

Damn it, these Yakuza kids are getting harder and harder to manage; they're all as stupid as pigs.

When the slightest unforeseen change occurs, they just stare blankly, unable to adapt!

But there's nothing we can do. In the economically depressed Reiwa era, yakuza are considered a sunset industry, and the young people who still join them now are mostly dim-witted trash.

"Yes, Brother Ku."

Several elegantly dressed men walked towards the mother and daughter.

Kugo looked at the Kamen Rider lying on the ground, a puzzled expression on his face.

Is the man behind the mask truly a hero of the Birds Park?

With his exceptional marksmanship, Kugo could shoot a Kamen Rider through the heart with a single shot, and at the same distance, he could naturally hit him in the head with a single bullet.

It's just that the Kamen Rider's helmet covers his face and has an exaggerated and cool appearance, but we don't know how strong its defense is, so Kugo had to settle for hitting his heart instead.

Ku Ge looked down.

And what's with these black tentacles?

After the hero of the strait was shot and fell to the ground, the black tendrils that had been protruding from the left sleeve of his suit retracted.

Is this some kind of mechanism in this ridiculous tokusatsu costume?

Or……

Never mind, no matter what, that overconfident weirdo is dead. Once we drag him to the studio, both his clothes and his body will be dismantled and dismembered, and all his secrets will be exposed.

Even after Tosu Hero was buried alive in Aokigahara and turned into a monster, he couldn't stop a single bullet.

A cold smile appeared on Ku Ge's lips.

Am I going to die?

The consciousness of the roosting hero continued to sink, sink, into darkness.

Like sinking into the deep sea, Hua Ling and the child's mother's cries were like the faint light on the sea surface, growing dimmer and farther away.

"...If I had been more ruthless earlier, would things have been different...?"

"In the end, just like Moribe-kun, I failed to protect my family..."

Just when the hero of Tosu was about to give up on himself and sink endlessly until he was completely reduced to nothingness.

Ku Ge's cold and cruel voice boomed:

"Arrest those two filthy women!"

I don't care if I die, but who will protect them, mother and daughter, afterward?

With this thought in mind, Tosu Hero began to struggle again, his consciousness striving upwards in the endless abyss.

He prayed to all the gods and Buddhas in the sky, but none of them responded to the Bird Nest Hero.

"Whoever it is, lend me your strength! I need to live, I need to protect my family!"

Ha, humans, is your desire to live really that strong?

In a daze, a mysterious, androgynous voice suddenly echoed in Tori Hero's mind.

"Yes, I want to live!"

As if grasping at a last straw, Tosu Hideo responded eagerly.

[No matter the cost, no matter what form it takes?]

"Even if I become a monster, I will do anything to protect them, mother and daughter!" Tosu Hero said without hesitation.

【Ha ha ha ha--!】

The voice burst into maniacal laughter.

Since that's the case, I'll give you one more chance.

"But my heart has been pierced by a bullet, is it possible to be resurrected?"

As the hero was still wondering, a black tentacle suddenly appeared from the bottomless abyss and wrapped around his ankle, followed by more black tentacles climbing up!

Countless black tentacles enveloped the roosting hero, leaving only his head exposed, before pulling him down into the bottomless abyss.

You can live without a heart! After all, this is the power I gave you.

"May I ask who you are?"

The slippery, sticky sensation spread throughout his body, and the feeling of weightlessness as he continued to fall made Bird Hero feel nauseous and uncomfortable.

You are not yet worthy to know my name.

[Bird's Nest Heroes, live on!]

Struggle, keep living! Someday—

The hero's body twisted unnaturally as he was pulled deeper and deeper. He inadvertently turned his head and caught a fleeting glimpse of something below.

In the dark, bottomless abyss, there was a terrifyingly enormous creature formed by countless writhing black tentacles.

Countless, dense, black tentacles stretched towards the horizon.

Each tentacle was as large as the Tokyo Tower, and the colossal creature formed by them resembled a black planet covered in hair. The Tori hero seemed as insignificant as dust in front of it.

The innate human fear of giant objects and the deep sea struck the heart of the Bird Nest Hero.

After being pulled by the black tentacles and plunged to the very bottom of the abyss, Tori no Hero suddenly opened his eyes, muttering incomprehensible murmurs:

What would happen if a person had no heart?
