My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

The result was simple: Sato could assassinate one person every few days. He possessed Okuyama's world-class hacking skills to locate people, coupled with Takahashi and his team's exceptional disguise abilities, and the logistical department's diligent work in producing various miniature bombs and other assassination weapons. Finally, Sato, a demi-human with special forces background, would personally carry out the assassination...

Such a star-studded lineup is simply unstoppable.

As a result, no one on the list has escaped this fate.

Today's Sato secret base.

Ooshan is tinkering with his secret weapon—an electronic pulse bomb, commonly known as an EMP. Its principle is to use a high-energy pulse wave generated instantaneously to overheat and burn out the dense circuitry on a circuit board.

Aoshan was not a talent in the field of weapons development; this EMP was simply something he made from scratch based on information found online.

Although the principle of EMP is very simple, the fact that Aoshan was able to create a reliable and lethal EMP weapon from scratch using only materials purchased online demonstrates his extraordinary talent.

Meanwhile, as more people on the list died, the Japanese government held a press conference. A spokesperson solemnly announced: "The Japanese authorities will never bow to terrorists. In order to crush the demi-human organizations that threaten national security, we will reform the legal system..."

"It feels like things are getting escalating." Takahashi watched the press conference on TV, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"In that case, the situation of the demi-humans will only get worse!" Genya said worriedly.

However, Hui immediately encouraged them: "No, quite the opposite. The situation of the demi-humans has changed. In the past, the government would not have held a press conference for the demi-humans. But now the demi-humans' affairs have risen to the level of a national matter in Japan. As long as we continue to work hard, the demi-humans will definitely have a future! Don't give up, everyone. A bright future awaits us ahead! Let's: Ganbare (dried meat)!"

As Hui spoke, she placed one hand on her chest, making a gesture of encouragement.

Tanaka was immediately infected by Kei's firm positive energy: "Miss Kanae is right, this is the only way. It is true that there are many voices criticizing demi-humans now, but it is not all a bad thing."

As he spoke, Tanaka pointed to the Ajin in the logistics department, who were loading bullets, assembling bombs, and carrying things, and continued, "Now all the Ajin in Japan have gathered together, and more and more Ajin will join us in the future. Public opinion is growing stronger, and everyone is standing up for the future of Ajin."

Finally, Tanaka concluded in a somber tone: "And now we have no way out."

“Yes, that’s right. There have been more than 230 new demi-humans in the past few days,” Huiye agreed.

A demi-human named Sandai walked in.

"Miss Kanae, we're short on bombs, so I've asked everyone to help make them," the Third Generation said as he entered.

"Oh, okay," Hui replied. To be honest, she always felt a little awkward when others called her Xiangmiao.

But there's nothing we can do; that's just how the name is on this body's household registration.

"Is there anything else we can do?" the third generation continued.

"That's all," Hui said after considering for a moment.

After the third generation left, Tanaka asked in confusion, "Hmm, who was that person?"

"Uh!" Hui was a little surprised. The Third Generation had met Tanaka quite often, yet Tanaka didn't recognize him. Could it be that this guy suffered from prosopagnosia?

"Haha! x2" Takahashi Kazumi laughed as he saw Tanaka's manipulation, "As expected of Mr. Tanaka."

Sato was very efficient; in just a few days, only two people remained on the list.

Today is a very special day.

Today is the day to assassinate the Tokugawa minister.

The later someone is on the list, the more important they are. Tokugawa shogun is second to last, while the top spot is held by the head of a zaibatsu (financial conglomerate).

Although Minister Tokugawa is not as powerful as the president of a zaibatsu (financial conglomerate).

However, the minister's status was very high in the eyes of the people, and assassinating him would have had a huge impact.

As for that zaibatsu president, although he was the kind of person who could bring down the Tokugawa minister with a single word, the general public had never even heard of him. His death only served as a wake-up call to the upper echelons of the Japanese government: you are no different from ordinary citizens!

Okuyama already knew of Tokugawa's whereabouts, and it was Sato and Tanaka who took action.

Hui remained on standby at the base, since assassinating a minister was not particularly difficult.

On the other side...

When Sato began assassinating high-ranking government and corporate officials.

Kei Nagai couldn't sit still any longer, because he was reported by a resident who went bankrupt due to stock speculation, causing him to lose his hiding place once again.

However, he didn't hate the resident who reported him at all. In his peculiar way of thinking, he always believed that it was Sato who caused such a big mess, which is why he couldn't return to his normal life. It was all Sato's fault, and he had to stop Sato!

He completely forgot that if it weren't for Sato, he would still be lying on the dissection table.

Shameless, or ungrateful, neither of these words seems sufficient to describe him.

Chapter 74 Collision

Moreover, in order to deal with Sato, Kei Nagai also sought out the person he was supposed to take revenge on—Yu Tozaki, who had put him on the dissection table.

However, Kei Nagai refused to hate the other party; he was determined to turn enemies into friends and repay kindness with enmity to the very end.

It can only be said that it is indeed a fully social entity.

Kei Nagai, with his high IQ, found a weakness in Yu Tozaki's fiancée—who had become a vegetable after a car accident.

He then forced the other party to cooperate with him: to jointly capture Sato.

After the two groups came together.

Kei Nagai and Osamu Nakano began training in combat skills under Yu Tosaki to improve their fighting ability.

However, Kei Nagai and his teammates weren't just training.

They had been waiting for an opportunity, a chance to 'set a trap and wait for Sato to fall for it'.

As fewer and fewer people remained on the list, until finally only ministers and zaibatsu presidents were left.

They believed their opportunity had arrived. Once they knew the minister's whereabouts, they could devise a meticulous plan to capture Sato.

Yu Tosaki led Izumi Shimomura to the danger management room of the contract building.

The so-called contract hall is a place used by Japan to entertain foreign guests.

The hazard management room inside the contract building was built to defend against terrorist attacks. Its security level is equivalent to that of a nuclear shelter. In the event of war, it can be used as a command post.

After undergoing a series of body searches and security checks, Tosaki Yu finally met Minister Tokugawa in the danger management room.

After much persuasion, I hope the minister will allow me to join his security detail.

However, he was met with sneers from the ministers: "...Useless...You let Sato escape time and time again...Incompetent subordinate...You still have the nerve to come see me...Your dismissal is inevitable..."

Hearing the minister's merciless words, Tosaki Yu endured it.

He was hoping to gain promotion by capturing Sato, and he needed his current position to make money. Maintaining his fiancée's life required expensive medical care, so for her sake, he... endured it.

However, what he didn't know was:

In this world, opportunities are reserved for those with connections.

The minister of the Ajin Management Committee may seem like a high-ranking position, but in reality, it's just a job where you do the dirty work and the hard work.

The Ajin Management Committee claims to protect Ajin, but in reality, it conducts human experiments on Ajin. In fact, the people inside even rent out Ajin to large corporations for money.

If this kind of thing is exposed, then someone needs to be held accountable.

Ministers and the interest groups behind them also need a spokesperson to do their dirty work and... take the blame.

Therefore, the minister selected Yu Tosaki, who was capable and ambitious but had no background.

Everyone in the Ajin Management Committee knew this, so even though he was the head of the committee, a mere researcher dared to stand up, point his finger at Tosaki Yu's nose, and demand why he let Sato escape and why he hadn't caught Sato...

Yu Tozaki could only do her best to get things done and dared not object.

In the matter of arresting Sato, Tosaki Yu could be said to have done a very good job. Even if he didn't achieve great success, he certainly put in a lot of effort, but he was constantly being held accountable.

Although he was the minister of the Ajin Management Committee, his only trusted subordinates were Shimomura Izumi, whom he had coerced and lured, and... 4 retired veterans.

So who is the actual mastermind behind the Ajin Management Committee?

Yes, the Beastman's Division!

Yu Tozaki's role was simply to enhance the reputation of the Jugabe. The credit for capturing Sato belonged to the Jugabe, while the responsibility for failing to capture him fell on Yu Tozaki.

The Jugobe has powerful backers, but he lacks ability. This is why, even though Tosaki Yuichi has let Sato escape time and time again, the Minister and the Jugobe still refuse to let him leave. They know that if they were to take matters into their own hands, the outcome would likely be even worse.

Finally, Tosaki Yu was driven out by the minister.

However, having failed to get anything from the minister, Tosaki Yu came up with a plan: to steal the minister's action plan from the minister's secretary.

Once they obtain the minister's whereabouts, their own side can set traps in advance.

Just as Tozaki Yu was pondering how to steal the minister's whereabouts, two uninvited guests arrived in the lobby of the Contract Hall.

They were the U.S. Department of Defense investigators sent to investigate the murder of Dr. Ogura by Sato: one was a tall, white man named Douglas, and the other was a blonde woman in a black business suit named Carly.

Dr. Ogura was a genius, and the United States valued him highly. They could not tolerate such a talented person dying under mysterious circumstances.

So they sent Douglas, who was nominally from the Department of Defense but was actually an elite intelligence officer from the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency).

As an intelligence agent, Douglas discovered during his investigation that an important item was missing from Dr. Ogura's belongings—cigarettes.

Douglas, who had studied Dr. Ogura's lifestyle, knew that even if Dr. Ogura died, he would not throw away the cigarette in his hand.

Therefore, he knew that Dr. Ogura's death was suspicious, or that Dr. Ogura was not dead at all, and this possibility was very high.

Through his investigation, he discovered that the most suspicious person was Yu Tosaki, because there was a one-hour blind spot in Yu Tosaki's whereabouts when Dr. Ogura died.

During that hour, no one knew where he went.

Yu Tozaki overheard that the United States was going to reinvestigate Dr. Ogura's case.

He immediately panicked, because when Sato attacked the headquarters of the Ajin Management Committee to rescue Nagai Kei, Tosaki Yu secretly kidnapped Dr. Ogura in order to demonstrate his value to the minister. He then disguised Dr. Ogura's corpse with a researcher's body and obtained a lot of information about Ajin from Dr. Ogura. Dr. Ogura is still being imprisoned by him.

Tosaki Yu used this information to prove to Minister Tokugawa that he still had value, thus saving his position.

After Tosaki Yu resolutely stated that she knew nothing about Dr. Ogura, she and Shimomura quickly left for the underground parking lot, and she told Shimomura to quickly get the minister's itinerary from the minister's secretary.

While Tosaki Yu was waiting.

Douglas also found Tosaki Yu in the underground parking lot.

He asked a few perfunctory questions, then suddenly pulled out a pack of cigarettes with the letter "k" printed on it and showed it to Tosaki Yu.
