Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

A chill ran through me. The government is supposed to be the protector of its citizens. If the government starts using its power to deal with its citizens, then for ordinary people, there is almost no way out!

But then he suddenly realized something and looked at Miyazaki Yu with a nervous expression.

"So what are you going to do?"

Miyazaki Yu turned to look into the distance. In the darkness of night, the distant sky resembled the mouth of a colossal beast, as if it were about to devour the entire sky.

"Only when people feel pain do they know fear, and I will become their fear. Anyone who dares to scheme against me, no matter who they are, will completely disappear from this world. Only blood and corpses will let people know that although they are facing only one person, he is someone who can stand on equal footing with them!"

"You want to go on a killing spree? No way, I can't agree to that, I will never do such a thing!"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck. A cold, sharp blade was already at his neck. A sword was suspended in the air, gently pressed against his neck, as if an invisible hand was secretly controlling everything.

"I'm not discussing this with you, I'm ordering you. If you don't agree, everyone who knows will disappear from this world, including you and your girlfriend. I can save her, or I can make her disappear completely."

Just like now, you die here, and no one will connect your death with me.”

A shiver ran through my entire body in an instant.

The feeling of walking on the edge of life and death during the previous chase instantly returned to my mind.

“If you do this for me, we will be even from now on. I’m just asking you to do me a small favor, not to kill someone. You should think this through.”

Kaito Kuroba's expression shifted several times. He wanted to refuse, but he never killed anyone and didn't want anyone to die because of him.

But the current situation is quite different; it's something he's never encountered before.

If a conflict arises between the government and an individual, and the government is the one at fault and provoking the conflict, then which side should the individual take?

He knew that if he didn't agree, this ruthless guy would definitely kill him, and Aoko would also be in danger. To protect the people he valued, he would definitely do it!

"I promise you, but you must also promise that you will never hurt Qingzi, or I will haunt you even as a ghost!"

Miyazaki Yu revealed a victorious smile.

"Let's do it this way!"

Inside the conference room of the underground base.

"Very good. This analysis shows that Miyazaki swordsman's physical strength has dropped to a new low, and it is still declining!"

Professor Mizuki said excitedly, and even the wrinkles on his face seemed to be smoothing out.

As a research fanatic, he has always craved the most perfect experimental specimen, and Miyazaki Yu is undoubtedly the most perfect experimental subject. However, this experimental subject is not very obedient and is too strong, making him somewhat unattainable.

But now it's finally over. Young people are young people after all. They couldn't resist the temptation of becoming a sword saint and ended up practicing that secret technique.

According to the swordsman who revealed the information, cultivating the so-called Sword Courage not only takes a long time, but also consumes a lot of vital energy and weakens one's combat power significantly during the cultivation process, and may even be accompanied by the danger of death.

The results of several observations were exactly as reported: the Miyazaki swordsman's physical data had indeed deteriorated significantly, with his breathing and heart rate fluctuating wildly, all of which are closely related to his vital signs!

Once the government takes action to subdue or eliminate it, I can then properly study this best specimen.

After the meeting ended, everyone got up and left the conference room. Just as they opened the conference room door, a figure was already standing in front of the door.

"Ah! This is Duke Dark Night!"

Chapter 398 The God-Slaying Plan

"What? This is the Duke of Darkness? How is this possible?"

The Dark Duke is just a fictional character in Yusaku Kudo's novels. Why would he appear here so openly, in this top-secret underground base?

"Snapped--"

While everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty, countless small black balls rolled from the ground into the conference room, and then these small black balls began to emit thick smoke.

Before anyone could react, they all started coughing, and amidst the chaos, screams filled the air.

"Watch out, everyone be careful!"

Professor Shui Mu coughed and tried to shout a warning, but it was too late. By the time the smoke cleared, many people were already staggering, and the meeting materials in their hands had been snatched away.

"Hurry and chase them! This is top-secret information; it must not be leaked!"

While yelling, he hurriedly pressed the hidden alarm button.

"Security system, someone has broken into the conference room and stolen meeting materials. The intruder is dressed as the Dark Duke. Please apprehend him immediately!"

At this moment, alarms were blaring throughout the base, red warning lights were flashing everywhere, and doors to some classified locations were slowly closing.

"Hurry! The entire base must be shut down. We can't let the thieves leave!"

A team of armed personnel quickly assembled, and inside the monitoring room, they immediately began observation and diligently searched all areas.

In the office, a pair of sharp eyes suddenly opened, their gaze filled with a chilling intensity and a hint of cynicism.

"How interesting. They managed to sneak in at this time and steal the meeting materials. They're quite something."

At that moment, the office door suddenly opened, and Masushi Kambara walked in from outside.

"Yamada, someone has infiltrated the base. As a high-ranking officer, you must act immediately!"

Yamada chuckled softly: "General, don't be in a hurry. The entire base's defense system is exceptionally robust. Infiltrating the base is inherently extremely difficult, but this person managed to infiltrate undetected. That's quite interesting in itself. Don't you think finding his method of infiltration is far more interesting than finding the person himself?"

General Kambara had a headache. Yamada might seem a bit carefree at times, but his abilities were undeniable, and no one could easily ignore him.

But now that the situation is so urgent, I can't help but feel a bit angry.

"Yamada, you still don't understand the seriousness of this matter. Our God-Slaying Plan has already begun. We have sent Chengmu Shigeaki to control Mouri Ran under the guise of protection and investigation. However, this is also a test. Whether we take action or stop the operation immediately depends on the reaction of that Miyazaki swordsman in the next two days!"

You should be very clear about the stakes involved! Once this mortal god-demon is completely enraged, this plan must not be revealed in the slightest before we are certain that his strength has truly been significantly reduced, otherwise it will definitely cause a huge backlash!

Kambara Masu's anger was not without reason.

This current point in time is actually like the final confirmation before a rocket launch!

Their decision to detain Ran Mouri at this moment was an important test; they wanted to use Tetsuaki Nishikawa's mouth to pass this message to Hayao Miyazaki and see his reaction.

In order to deal with Miyazaki Yu, these people had long ago collected as much information as possible about all his habits and behaviors.

For every video and every photo of him, there are specialized experts responsible for analyzing his micro-expressions and, through the people around him, building as detailed an emotional model as possible to simulate his judgments and actions.

Just like in The Three-Body Problem, the Trisolarans' judgment of Cheng Xin and Wade!

The Trisolarans judged Wade to be 100% intimidating, but as for Cheng Xin, their assessment was... well, let's just say it was nothing.

As the Trisolarans predicted, Cheng Xin did not dare to press the button at the last moment, and during those crucial ten minutes, she did not even dare to make any expression that suggested she wanted to perish together with them.

At that time, Sophon was observing Cheng Xin the whole time. You can imagine that those ten minutes were definitely the most difficult ten minutes for the Trisolarans. Once they realized that Cheng Xin was really going to die together with him, they would immediately order the droplets to stop attacking.

Meanwhile, in order to deal with Miyazaki Yu, these guys obviously came up with a similar method: to build a personality analysis model and simulate all the possible reactions that Miyazaki Yu might make.

If Miyazaki Yu reacts strongly and maintains considerable fighting strength, leaving them helpless, they will immediately send Mouri Ran back and provide a perfect explanation.

Even now, they've already decided on the scapegoat: Cheng Mucheng is clearly the best one. He's the one who impersonated the Metropolitan Police Department and took unconventional actions.

At that time, the rank of Superintendent and his political future should be enough to wipe out all the anger, right?

Conversely, if Miyazaki Yu doesn't react much, then there are two possibilities: one is an adjustment in his personality model, and the other is that he is actually very wary of the government.

The final judgment is even more important: because he was cultivating his sword spirit, he had entered a period of weakness and had lost most of his combat power, resulting in a significant reduction in his strength.

In this way, Miyazaki Yu would be like Indra who has mastered the Five Thunder Transformation Technique, making it much easier to subdue him.

However, all these judgments are based on the premise that the God-Slaying Plan must not be leaked in the slightest!

Because such a detailed plan, written openly in black and white, would immediately enrage him, regardless of his attitude towards the government, and he might even go to any lengths to take action against high-ranking government officials.

If his combat strength is not significantly weakened, then things will get interesting!

"General, you don't need to worry. The moment the alarm went off, I issued an order to seal off all outward passages of the entire base, especially the elevators. They have all been blocked. Even if that so-called Duke of the Night had wings, he wouldn't be able to escape from underground."

I'd really like to see who this so-called Duke of the Night is!

In a secluded corner, Kaito Kuroba removed his mask and began to gasp for breath.

"That bastard Miyazaki Yu insisted on making me come here to cause trouble. Even with the map he gave me, it's still impossible to move an inch here. It's too well-protected. It's much better than the security measures set up by Inspector Nakamori."

After complaining for a while, his gaze fell on the documents he had stolen.

"Following Miyazaki Yu's directions, I went to the general location of the archives and found some documents. Combined with the documents I stole, that should be enough to cause chaos. If I show my face and throw some explosives or something, that should be enough to give those guys a headache."

He kept muttering to himself, but he couldn't help but start flipping through the pages. He only half-understood many of the things, as some of them were just too technical.

At that moment, his gaze fell upon a portion of the content.

"The God-Slaying Plan! This is...!"

Chapter 399 Yamada's Sharp and Decisive Actions

"This is,,,"

After watching just the beginning, Kaito Kuroba couldn't help but gasp.

"So that's how it is. These guys actually devised such a meticulous plan for Miyazaki Yu alone. It's unbelievable. No wonder they're acting like madmen, trying to snatch these documents back at all costs. It seems they're also afraid of Miyazaki, afraid he'll go crazy if he finds out!"

When two vortexes collide, some small fish and shrimp will always be swept up in it.

But no one ever cared about their lives or deaths, because they were simply too insignificant.

Just like when a mosquito lands on a person, the person doesn't consider whether the mosquito has any grievances; they simply reach out and slap it into pieces.

"It seems I underestimated this place. Although I have made a lot of preparations, I still need to be extra careful."

At that moment, a commanding voice came through his earpiece.

"Squads 1 through 16 are responsible for areas A1 to A16. Squads 17 through 32 are responsible for all areas B1 to B16. Be quick! From now on, each squad member is only responsible for their assigned area and is not allowed to leave their assigned area. Do you understand?"

Now, open the squad leader channel. I will transmit a unique code to each squad leader. Once the squad leader receives it, they must immediately verbally relay the code to their team members. Squads should try to remain together to prevent intruders from taking advantage of the situation!

Immediately, a dial tone came through the headset, indicating that they had switched the audio to the so-called captain's channel.

"Damn it, who exactly is the commander of this base? Could it be that someone in the base has already figured out my identity, which is why they've come up with this method to prevent me from escaping? And judging from the system map, all the passages in the entire base have been shut down. What a troublesome guy!"

Kaito Kuroba knew he had encountered a very difficult opponent, and now he needed to take the initiative. He sneered and walked out from the corner.

Just as he turned the corner, a cloud of dust rose from his body, and when the dust cleared, he had transformed into a completely different person.

He had already changed into a base uniform, which was a testament to his superb ability to combine magic and disguise. This was also the skill that allowed Kaito Kid to roam the world. His speed of disguise was so fast that even Yukiko and Vermouth could not match it.

"Hey, you! Get running! Didn't you hear General Yamada's order?"

One of the base members couldn't help but speak up when he saw Kaito Kuroba walking slowly.
