Shirou's clones number 30 million

At the same time, they are mostly very wealthy, practically walking wallets.

As a result, Maeda made a lot of money in a very short time by using this method.

The people he hired gradually came to believe his righteous pronouncements, considering themselves to be saving humanity and calling themselves "the purifiers of humanity."

Just as he was about to be put into the police car, Maeda suddenly struggled violently and shouted:

"Korone! I remember you, the strongest Special Class Investigator! Didn't you hate ghouls the most? In that case, what I'm doing is probably what you wanted to see, right?"

"Half! If you let me go, I'll give you half of the money I extorted from those ghouls. What? You think that's too little? Eighty percent! I originally gave you eighty percent of the profits! I can't give you any less. I still need to pay my subordinates, otherwise no one will work for me."

Finding that Shirou didn't respond, he raised his voice a few decibels again:

"Just think about it, how much money is that? You might not earn that much money even if you worked hard for several lifetimes."

"With money, what can't you have? At that time, even if you want to buy Tokyo and turn it into an amusement park, there won't be any problem at all."

Shirou's hands didn't stop moving; he casually pushed him into the police car, then said coldly:

"Money can't buy what I want."

"What can't money buy? Women, status, no, it's just that you haven't spent enough money."

"I can't buy the sense of accomplishment I want."

"A sense of accomplishment? What is that?"

"Or perhaps, it's a kind of self-satisfaction."

"Satisfaction? With money, what feeling can't you buy? You can hire hundreds of beautiful women to act with you every day. Then, you can have any feeling you want."

"No, that's not how I feel. Okay, let me put it another way: I'm doing this for an ideal."

"Uh... so what are your ideals? With money, you can speed up the process of realizing your ideals, right?"

"My ideal is world peace."

After standing there stunned for several seconds, Maeda couldn't help but burst into a tirade of profanities:

"Are you crazy? I talk to you about money, and you talk to me about feelings. I talk to you about feelings, and you talk to me about ideals. I talk to you about ideals, and you say you want world peace."

"In all my years, I have never met anyone as troublesome and awful as you."

Shirou was speechless for a moment, then burst into laughter.

This guy is really interesting; no wonder he's capable of disrupting Tokyo's order in such a short time.

Even when facing death, they do not give up any hope.

If someone else had arrested him, they might have actually been persuaded by him.

However, he was unlucky to run into himself.

"Originally, ghouls had to feed on humans, so killing them was never too much. But now ghouls have disappeared, and only humans remain."

"Humans have their own rules, and those rules are the law. I am now the guardian of the law."

“If they do evil, I will pursue them to the ends of the earth and never let them go; but if they abide by the law and reform themselves, then they are the ones I protect.”

Maeda's heart stirred slightly; this guy was actually an idealist.

In that case, perhaps we could try to pressure him with words.

"Is what you're doing really appropriate? All the humans and investigators who died at the hands of ghouls are crying."

"What would those comrades who sacrificed themselves in the past think if they knew you were protecting ghouls? Heh... I really have something to look forward to."

"When you get to the underworld, I wonder how you'll explain it to them?"

"If they ask about ghouls, how will you answer them? Will you still have the face to face them then?"

Shirou turned and glanced at him, then said in a deep voice:

"Past events are forgotten. This was the result of the meeting we discussed, and it was proposed by me and agreed upon by all the investigators."

"You don't need to waste your breath. Save your energy. You've indirectly or directly caused the deaths of so many people. Your life is over. No one can save you."

Chapter 213 How to Deal with a Stalker

Chapter 213, Section 214: How to Deal with a Stalker

"It's finally over. I'm going to get a good night's sleep when I get home today."

As she walked home after leaving the Metropolitan Police Department, Anju Naoshiro unconsciously stretched.

I've been busy these past few days, but we've finally caught the biggest culprit, Maeda.

In this way, public order can finally be restored.

In normal Tokyo, with a normal Metropolitan Police Department, where do so many cases come from?

Even if there are cases, it's not my turn to respond to calls as a civilian employee.

"Teacher Yanfeng, when are we going out for a big meal?"

How about tomorrow?

"Great!"

Anju Naoshiro cheered, then turned to look at Kurona and smiled:

"Xiao Hei, remember to invite that girl tomorrow. Let's go out for a big meal together."

"We won't go outside, we'll stay at home." Shirou paused for a moment, then continued, "I'll have someone deliver the pre-ordered dishes to our home, and we'll eat there."

Compared to chefs in this world, the Food Wars world is more reliable.

After get off work tomorrow, please ask Erina to prepare a big meal.

If she's unavailable, you can find other chefs, such as Joichiro Yukihira.

"Huh...? Are we going to eat at home?" Anju Kuroko looked hesitant. "Won't that create the atmosphere of a fancy meal?"

"Atmosphere and all that doesn't matter, as long as it tastes good. That's the only thing I'm very confident about," Shirou said with a smile.

Using ingredients from the Sea Kings and some seafood from the One Piece world, combined with top-tier ingredients from the Food Wars world, you can definitely create a delicious feast.

……

The following day, numerous surveys suddenly appeared online.

Every time I open a webpage, the same survey pops up.

"What is this? An evil scientist has created a monster called a ghoul. Players can play as either a ghoul or an investigator, and the game will unfold from different factions..."

"It sounds pretty interesting. With such a strong promotion, I hope the content won't be too disappointing. Anyway, I'll give it a thumbs up for now."

...

"Ghouls and investigators? Who's so bold as to make this public?"

"However, it seems quite interesting. Now that Zhong has lost his power, it's not bad to reminisce in the game."

"YES! That's clever. I hope the game will be released soon."

...

"Why ghouls and investigators? If that kind of technology really existed, there would be so many game themes to choose from!"

"Fine, whatever. Games based on reality might be more interesting."

……

Several days later, inside the white mist space.

"Narusaka, please!"

Narusaka Shirou stared at Police Officer Shirou for a while, then sighed:

"Don't give me trouble. I'm already busy enough."

"It shouldn't take much time, right? With your abilities, and with some references, developing a game like this should only take a few days."

"Sigh... Oh well, what can I do when I have nothing better to do?"

With nothing to do, I couldn't even find an excuse to refuse.

The situation in Aincrad is clearly not something that can be resolved in a short time.

Although the information Kayaba Akihiko possessed was merely a facade, and he already had all the information he had, even so, with his own abilities, it would still take him at least a year and a half to develop a device for reverse-downloading souls.

This is a long-term job, but in the short term, I am quite relaxed.

As he spoke, Shirou Narusaka unconsciously pushed his glasses up a little.

"There's no need to wear glasses, is there? There are plenty of ways to disguise yourself so that others won't recognize you. Or, a transformation technique would solve the problem," Officer Shirou couldn't help but say.

"I don't want to wear the transformation spell all the time; it always feels awkward. Besides, glasses are actually quite good; they're a disguise wonder for home and travel. Wearing glasses instantly changes my look, like I have a new face."

Officer Shirou smiled and then asked:

"By the way, what do you guys think of my virtual game project?"

“Not good,” Shirou Sakurai said in a somewhat low voice. “As time goes by, ghouls will definitely gradually integrate into humans, which is the safest approach. Your approach is too extreme, and it could easily lead to a riot.”

“I think this plan is excellent,” Shirou Narusaka interjected with a smile. “Heroes should be remembered by everyone. Humans, who are always being protected, should remember that there is a group of people in the world called investigators who risk their lives to protect their safety.”

"Those investigators who sacrificed their lives in the battle against ghouls should not be forgotten by humanity. Heroes deserve the treatment of heroes."

"That's just your opinion; the people involved wouldn't think that way," Shirou Sakurai scoffed. "For those who sacrificed themselves, they weren't fighting to be remembered."

"Indeed, but humanity should not forget them. How can we let heroes shed blood and tears?"

"The compensation money isn't free; your actions will only make the problem worse. Do you know what will happen when humanity finds out that ghouls really exist?"

"Public opinion needs to be guided..."

Noticing that the two seemed to be arguing, Itsuka Shirou quickly stepped in and tried to change the subject:

"Everyone, I have a question: how do you deal with stalkers?"

Of course, this was something he wanted to discuss with the others today.

In an instant! All the Shirous turned their heads at the same time and found that the speaker was Itsuka Shirou. At the same time, they all let out a soft "Eh" in surprise.

"You're being followed? Even your Observation Haki can't detect it?" Shirou asked instinctively.
