I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 199 and 201: The Cicada Sheds Its Shell, Storms Rise in Osaka (4k)

"Let's go to Osaka!"

"Ken's feelings will surely reach his daughter."

Hero Tosu pulled out two letters wrapped in waterproof plastic film from under his tattered Kamen Rider suit and said solemnly.

He held it up to the fluorescent light on the ceiling and examined it carefully. Fortunately, it wasn't damaged.

The plastic film was covered in blood, but it was unclear whether it was from Hero Tosu or those cool guys from the Machigo group.

After eliminating the remaining members of the Asato Group, especially after killing the group leader who had lost his son, the safety of his wife and daughter was now guaranteed. Tosu Hideo's greatest obsession now is to fulfill Moribe-kun's last wish.

Tosu also considered turning herself in to the police, but ultimately gave up on the idea.

Although he killed scum like Yakuza, killing so many people means he'll probably be sentenced to death if he falls into the hands of the police.

Once the news breaks, titles like "the most vicious serial killer of the Reiwa era" will be bestowed upon Hideo Tosu.

In that case, her daughter, Hanako Tosu, will have to bear the stigma of being the daughter of a murderer, and will face discrimination in college and at work.

And the birds might also be ostracized by the community and forced to move out.

If that's the case, it's better to pretend you've disappeared.

However, Hero Tosu glanced out the window and saw that several police officers from nearby shifts had arrived downstairs, and several police cars had blocked the intersection.

The most urgent task is to escape from the police's encirclement.

Fight our way out?

That's definitely not going to work. Not only would the police be armed, but breaking through with so many guns would be too dangerous, and even the hero of the Bird's Nest wouldn't be able to get past his own conscience.

The education I received from childhood taught me that to oppose the police is to be a thug and an antisocial person!

Although Tosu Hideo's mindset has undergone a drastic change, he is no longer timid and fearful. Killing the members of the Matrigu group is not only to protect his family, but also to act on behalf of God!

It doesn't even qualify as a "darkening."

If someone were to brutally kill a police officer, they would be doomed and become part of the evil faction.

"Then that's the only way."

Tosu Hero turned his head to look at the still fresh young man's corpse on the ground, a look of struggle on his face, but he quickly gave a self-deprecating smile.

"I've already stolen Ku Ge's heart and killed so many people just to survive. And now, I'm still pretending to be a virtuous gentleman?"

The Hero of the Birds reached out and launched several black tentacles, which plucked the heart from the corpse.

The black tentacles wrapped around the heart and placed it on the left wrist of the Bird Hero. The warm and soft touch gave the Bird Hero the illusion that his heart was still beating.

Then Tosui Hero looked at the corpse's face again, staring blankly for a long time. He raised his hand with trembling hands, and several black tentacles wrapped around the corpse's face, crawling in from the mouth, nose and other places, wriggling under the skin.

The hero closed his eyes, steeled his resolve, and his face was peeled off perfectly.

"Waaaaah, what am I? Why did I have to receive such evil power..."

Torii Hero secretly opened one eye, looked at his bloodied and mangled face, and couldn't help but shed tears again.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

After leaving the Aokigahara Forest, various forbidden and evil pieces of knowledge would occasionally surface in my mind.

This is one of the reasons why he wanted to leave his family. This kind of blasphemous and evil power, once out of control or devoured by it, might drag Linghua and his wife into it.

"I will never kill again."

The hero of the Birch Valley silently made a vow in his heart.

Though in darkness, my heart yearns for the light.

Only in this way can the hero of Tosu feel that he is still a human being, and not be tempted by power to degenerate into a monster, body and soul.

…………

"Listen up, everyone inside! This place is now surrounded by police from Shizuoka Prefecture headquarters!"

"Please put down your weapons and come out obediently. We, the police, guarantee that we will not harm you!"

Outside the headquarters of the Asato Group, behind a police car, an officer was shouting into a megaphone.

Behind him stood more than a dozen police officers, each with their sidearms drawn and safety off.

The intersection was also blocked by seven or eight police cars, with police tape set up, and even more patrol officers blocking the side, making it impossible to get away.

"When will the firearms countermeasures unit from headquarters arrive?"

The station chief put down the megaphone and asked the junior officer beside him.

"The firearms countermeasures department responded that this matter is not under their jurisdiction," the junior officer said with a wry smile.

The Gun Countermeasures Division is the strongest armed force in the police headquarters of each prefecture in Japan. It is mainly responsible for dealing with terrorist attacks and naturally would not care about trivial matters such as conflicts with violent gangs.

"Damn it, we're in a real crisis, and they're still making excuses!"

"However, the officers from the Criminal Investigation Department are already on their way and will arrive in five minutes."

Upon hearing this, the head of the police station breathed a sigh of relief. Compared to the police officers from the police station who usually dealt with public order issues, the police officers from the headquarters' criminal investigation department were more capable and were the experts in dealing with violent groups.

"What era are we living in? These yakuza groups are still resorting to mergers! The Asato-gumi's headquarters has been wiped out. Which organization did this? They're incredibly stupid. Even if they succeed in merging, they'll only bring about their own destruction!"

The director of the police station wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but curse a few times.

When the police chief received a call reporting a fire at the headquarters of the Asato Group, he found it hard to believe.

These days, it's not the era of yakuza doing whatever they want anymore. Any yakuza with a brain knows to keep a low profile. They might secretly kill a few people on ordinary days, but we haven't seen a raid on the headquarters of an enemy organization like this in decades.

Such a large-scale fire is bound to attract the iron fist of the police!

As time went by, more and more information came in through reports from concerned citizens, leaving the police chief feeling overwhelmed.

For example, someone reports to the police that they heard loud gunfire.

Some people even confidently asserted that it was Kamen Rider alone who defeated the Mato Group.

They even thoughtfully pointed out that the Kamen Rider was Ryuki.

Okay, if the fact that the yakuza gang used firearms was adding insult to injury, then the appearance of Kamen Rider made the director feel like it was a fantasy.

This isn't a tokusatsu movie!

Besides, when did Kamen Rider's opponents become trash like the yakuza?

The director swallowed hard and picked up the megaphone to call inside. Suddenly, flames burst into flames on the third floor of the Machigoku headquarters, with tongues of fire shooting out of the windows and rolling outwards.

Soon, flames also appeared on the second floor.

The fire spread at an unusually rapid pace, clearly indicating arson!

Amidst the flames, a helmeted Kamen Rider descended the stairs from the second floor, walked straight out the door, and met with the police.

The mask with its prominent horns, the tattered black suit, and the blood-stained trench coat swayed in the night wind, and in the firelight, they looked like warriors returning victorious from the battlefield after carrying out justice.

The police officers present looked at each other in bewilderment.

It really is Kamen Rider!

It really was just one person!

The director looked behind Kamen Rider. The flames had begun to spread towards the first floor, and a wave of heat swept over. The headquarters of the Mato Group could no longer hide anyone, but only Kamen Rider came out.

Without any accomplices or Yakuza from the Mato Group, did Kamen Rider really take down the Mato Group all by himself while everyone else died inside?

The station chief's mouth tasted bitter. Even if it was Yakuza and his gang of scum who died, he still had to come out and apologize for such a major case that occurred in his jurisdiction.

Moreover, the person who made the move was a Kamen Rider cosplayer, and such a dramatic news story was bound to cause a national sensation.

The Japanese public was thrilled, but the director of the trade office was really in trouble.

Now that things have come to this, the only way to avoid being dismissed is to redeem himself by capturing the Kamen Rider.

"Masked man... sir, you are surrounded! Hands up, crouch down, and don't make any sudden moves!"

The police officers around the police station chief had already raised their guns.

This time, it wasn't just one police unit that was dispatched; several police units near the Mato group mobilized their entire force, resulting in a very large police presence. With dozens of police officers surrounding the area, no one believed that the Kamen Rider could escape this inescapable trap.

However, the Kamen Rider ignored the police warnings and the dozen or so dark gun barrels, and slowly approached them.

"Stop! Don't come any closer!"

"Hands on your head! Hands on your head! Crouch down!"

The armed police officers seemed even more nervous than the Kamen Riders, shouting orders.

Under the uneasy gazes of the police officers, Kamen Rider finally crouched down.

"boom!"

But the next second, the Kamen Rider's lower limbs suddenly unleashed terrifying power, leaving two footprints on the concrete ground.

The Kamen Rider soared into the sky and landed with a "thud" on a street lamp seven or eight meters high.

The Kamen Rider landed on a street lamp, glanced back at them, and then leisurely jumped to another street lamp a dozen meters away.

"Thump!"

All the police officers were stunned, as if frozen in place, followed by a commotion.

Jumping seven or eight meters high and more than ten meters away from a standing position is something that no human being can do.

Could it be that the one who went to the Machi Group to punish evil was really a Kamen Rider?!

"Chase!"

The director of the police station was the first to react and shouted sternly.

He doesn't care whether it's a real Kamen Rider or not. If he lets them get away like this, he'll definitely have to come out and apologize at the press conference later!

"Let's give chase! Don't fire yet!"

While the police chief led his officers in relentless pursuit, he also used a communicator to order the patrol officers who were blocking the intersection to go around and encircle the enemy.

Kamen Rider stepped over streetlights, sometimes running and jumping on rooftops, sometimes moving on the ground, but his speed was not fast; an ordinary person could keep up even if they ran fast.

After running for several hundred meters, the Kamen Rider arrived at the steel bridge over the Abe River in Shizuoka Prefecture.

His movements were incredibly swift; he climbed up the steel railing of the bridge and finally stood atop the bridge, silently gazing into the distance, completely ignoring the pursuers behind him.

At this moment, the police chief arrived at the Abe River Bridge with a large number of police officers.

The bridge was evacuated immediately, and reinforcements from the Criminal Investigation Department arrived. Nearly a hundred police officers surrounded the bridge, making it completely impassable.

"Sir... no, Kamen Rider! Please stop resisting. The Shizuoka Prefectural Police are very reasonable."

"There must be some misunderstanding here. Please cooperate with our police investigation! We will definitely make you, Kamen Rider, satisfied."

"Let's talk about it later!"

The director of the police station was filled with excitement. Holding a megaphone, he shouted with fervor and passion.

Whether this person is a real Kamen Rider or not, his physical abilities just now are obvious to all, far exceeding the limits of human beings. If we can successfully capture the Kamen Rider, it will definitely be a great achievement!

Some of the police officers behind him had already drawn their guns and started aiming.

"Put down your guns! Put down your guns!"

A living Kamen Rider is definitely more valuable than a dead one. Since we've already pushed the Kamen Rider to this desperate situation, why bother with guns?

"Bang!"

Just then, a gunshot rang out, reaching the ears of all the police officers.

Kamen Rider stands atop a steel bridge, raising a pistol high in his left hand and firing it into the sky.

Then, as if in slow motion, he slowly aimed his gun at the police officers below.

"Bang bang bang!"

This time, the officers did not hesitate and instinctively pulled the triggers, firing wildly.

Although these foreign police officers weren't very good marksmen, they still managed to hit their targets amidst the hail of bullets.

The Kamen Rider, riddled with bullets, slipped and fell from the bridge, creating a large splash in the Abe River.

"Oh dear, how could this happen!"

The director of the communication station rushed over and looked at the still turbulent Abe River with an extremely ugly expression.

He turned his head and saw that there was another gun lying on the bridge.

The director picked up the gun that Kamen Rider had dropped, opened the magazine, and found that there were no bullets inside. This meant that Kamen Rider had only fired a warning shot and posed no threat.

But why would Kamen Rider do that?

The director was completely bewildered.

"Quick! Prepare for salvage!"

"I want to see him alive or dead!"

…………

After the main force of the police force was lured away, a dark figure darted out from the roof of the Matori Group headquarters without anyone noticing.

The hero's appearance was completely different from before. He changed his look, wearing a black suit, and a black top hat that partially covered his face.

The exposed lower half of his face had firm, smooth skin, making him look nothing like a 47-year-old middle-aged man.

The previous Kamen Rider was a clone created by Tosu Hero using a heart.

Unfortunately, the clones formed by the split black tentacles could not stray very far from the main body.

By using this clever escape tactic, he could temporarily divert the police's attention, giving him the opportunity to go to Osaka.

Osaka, here I come!
