My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

However, as everyone knows, there is only one way to identify a demi-human: die once.

No one dares to kill someone based solely on suspicion. If they're right, all is well; if they're wrong, the Superintendent General of Police will be forced to resign, two cabinet ministers will be held accountable, and as for what happens to themselves... well...

Therefore, this matter had to be left unresolved...

"Alas, these are turbulent times! All sorts of demons and monsters have come out..." Yamashiro sighed helplessly.

Current Soul Strings: 870 million

Chapter 66 Attack

Today is cloudy.

A gloomy atmosphere hung over the headquarters of Glenn Pharmaceuticals, as if foreshadowing something.

Today is the day Sato announced his attack.

Early in the morning, the headquarters of Glen Pharmaceuticals was completely sealed off by uniformed police officers. The identities of all personnel entering and leaving were strictly checked. Even the sewers were guarded, and the area was closely monitored by nearby snipers.

This place is so bad that not even a fly could get in!

Most notably, a pair of heavily armed soldiers wearing black helmets, bulletproof vests, and other protective gear were the Metropolitan Police Department's Special Assault Unit.

This unit is the most elite unit in all of Japan. Every member of it is a battle-hardened elite who has killed people and seen blood abroad.

They are far superior to those rookies in the Self-Defense Forces who have never even been on the battlefield.

Although the Metropolitan Police Department could be said to have done its best, the president and directors of Gran Pharmaceuticals did not take Sato's threat seriously.

Kawashima Rikusa had lost count of how many times he had tried to persuade the president of Grand Pharmaceuticals to seek refuge.

But the president of Glencore's headquarters turned the tables on him, giving him a lecture: "Do you know how many billions we'd lose if we shut down for a day? ...Life? ...Can life be equivalent to money? ...I don't have time to listen to the nonsense of a man in a hat..."

His attitude was extremely arrogant.

"Sigh..." In the end, Rikuro Kawama left helplessly. Japan is a capitalist country, and the other party is the president of a large company with a market value of tens of billions. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the master of all Japan, because a company that can achieve this level must have members of parliament and influence supported by them in the cabinet.

Although he was an army colonel, the other party could dismiss him with a single word, which is why Colonel Kawajian didn't dare to raise his voice when he saw the other party.

Clearly, Glencore Pharmaceuticals did not take Sato's announcement seriously, because large companies with a market value of several billion dollars are bound to be arrogant.

Why should we take your words to heart, you mere mortal?

This reflects their arrogant mindset; of course, they also believe they are fully prepared.

The area was heavily cordoned off by police, and Japan's strongest unit, the Metropolitan Police Department's Special Assault Unit, was also lying in ambush nearby.

Furthermore, they also learned about the weaknesses of IBM that Tosaki Yu had obtained from the Americans, including the fact that the demi-humans possessed invisible dolls that were extremely afraid of water. Therefore, fire hydrants were now spraying water over the entire headquarters of Glen Pharmaceuticals.

In their view, the headquarters of Glen Pharmaceuticals was already an impregnable fortress, and they could live in peace without worry, so there was absolutely no need to seek refuge there.

President Gran sat in his luxurious office waiting for 3 p.m. to arrive, ready to see Sato make a fool of himself.

They believed that Sato would definitely be at a loss.

To be honest, ten days ago, Hui was also surprised when he heard Sato's wildly imaginative attack plan.

That's right, the attack plan was finalized 10 days in advance, and the subsequent release of the attack announcement video was also part of the plan.

While this trailer may have had an element of expanding its influence, it also served a more important purpose: diverting people's attention.

When people heard that the attack on Glenn Pharmaceuticals headquarters would take place at 3 p.m. in 10 days, all eyes and resources would be focused on Glenn Pharmaceuticals headquarters.

Other places will be overlooked, such as the newly built landmark building 200 meters away—a 400-meter-tall skyscraper.

The attack plan was simple: to blow up the building with a directional explosion, causing it to fall towards the headquarters of Glen Pharmaceuticals and flatten the entire headquarters.

Because the police's attention was focused on the headquarters of Glencore Pharmaceuticals, while this building was completely unguarded.

While everyone's attention was focused on the headquarters of Gran Pharmaceuticals, unbeknownst to them, two days earlier, Okuyama had breached the landmark building's network defenses and altered the identity information of its employees, including Takahashi, Gen, and himself.

Last night, someone even impersonated a building employee and successfully infiltrated the building, secretly installing TNT explosives for directional blasting on the building's foundation support pillars.

It's almost 3 p.m.

Hui had already disguised herself as an ordinary passerby, waiting for the communicator in her ear to indicate the sniper's location, and then controlling IBM to take them out.

Takahashi and Kazuki are already preparing to snipe from the top of a nearby high-rise building. They have another mission: to lure out the police snipers and then hand them over to Tanaka and Kei.

Sato then barged into the building, intending to make a grand entrance by descending from the top of the collapsed structure into the public eye.

"Tick-tock! Tick-tock! Tick-tock... Clang!—"

When the clock struck three, the president of Glen Pharmaceuticals headquarters wore a mocking smile, because the time had come but nothing had happened.

But he hadn't even had a few seconds to laugh when...

A series of loud explosions came from outside, and his luxurious office shook a few times.

He stood up in alarm, wanting to know what was going on...

Meanwhile, reporters outside heard the explosion and immediately turned in the direction of the sound.

A continuous rumbling sound emanated from beneath a very tall landmark building near the headquarters of Glen Pharmaceuticals.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom... Boom!"

It was as if the last straw had broken the camel's back.

A louder "boom!" rang out than before.

Thick, yellowish-brown dust billowed from the lobby of the entire building, so dense that the scene inside was completely obscured.

By this time, passersby around the building, still caught off guard, began to flee...

"Ah!...Run!"

"Leave quickly..."

"Huizi—where are you..."

···

But they were immediately engulfed by thick dust, their fate unknown.

The dust continued to rise, approaching the police officers guarding the headquarters of Glen Pharmaceuticals. The officers frantically retreated, raising their riot shields...

But just then, the ground, which had just stabilized, began to shake again...

The evacuating police officers stared in shock at the landmark building.

Clang!

It was as if the bottom of the building was missing a section, and the entire building above it collapsed downwards, crashing to the ground...

Another loud "BOOM!"

The sound of the main building hitting the ground could be heard, and then the entire landmark building appeared much shorter.

then···

"Crackling and popping!"

The immense impact force generated by the building's landing caused the glass to shatter layer by layer from bottom to top.

"Crackling and popping..."

It spread to the top of the building in less than 3 seconds.

"Sizzle! Sizzle..." Broken glass began to fall.

In the distance, passersby stopped in their tracks, because... the building began to slowly collapse towards the headquarters of Glen Pharmaceuticals...

Some of the police officers at the Glencore headquarters had already given up the struggle, looking up at the approaching collapsing building, witnessing their final moments; others were making a futile struggle to escape...

The top of the building at this moment.

"Hahahahahahahaha!..."

Sato watched the ground getting closer and closer, laughing maniacally, sometimes bursting into laughter and sometimes looking up at the sky, as if this was the most exciting moment of his life.

In less than two seconds, the building collapsed completely.

Then came another series of enormous "boom boom boom boom boom!" sounds, one after another.

The street, which had just cleared of dust, was instantly covered in dust again, which slowly spread outwards, completely engulfing everyone around.

The building crushed the entire Glen Pharmaceuticals headquarters and buried its darkness.

Hui looked out at the dusty area from a building not far away.

"Wow!...It really worked!" Hui exclaimed in surprise, because this fantastical terrorist attack had actually happened in reality—using one building to crush another!

At the same time, the devouring ability of the Void Soul was activated, and the soul mass increased by another 2546 strings, which is about one percent of the mass of a demi-human. It's better than nothing!

After a long while, screams, shouts, and the honking of ambulances filled the air.

Chapter 67 Arrest

At this moment, in the Ajin Management Committee, Tosaki Yu, Shimomura Izumi, Juugabe, and a group of researchers who were speechless with their mouths agape were too shocked to speak.

The newbie, Kengo, involuntarily took a step back, stunned, and asked, "How could this be?"

But no one could answer his question; everyone present was shocked and had different thoughts.

Yu Tozaki is worried that such a big incident might lead to her being dismissed. What can she do to salvage the situation...?

Shimomura Izumi was worried that Tozaki Yu would be too devastated...

The researchers, on the other hand, were thinking about how to shift the blame to Yu Tozaki...

Because the government allocates so much human, financial and material resources to your Ajin Management Committee every year, and now the Ajin have blown up a building in front of the entire Neon Well and wiped out the entire headquarters of Grand Pharmaceuticals, if the Ajin Management Committee is not responsible for this, then who is?

Everyone had different thoughts.

The large screen now displays the scene as seen by the reporter from the helicopter:

The entire 400-meter-tall building collapsed in Tokyo, one of the city's most densely populated areas, leaving behind a trail of ruins and causing immense casualties...

"...It was the building...the building crushed the headquarters of Glen Pharmaceuticals..."

The screen played the shocked voice of a news reporter.
