My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

"I'm just an ordinary high school girl, that's all."

"Please wait a moment! Please—"

"Di-"

Hui shut down the communication.

On the other side, Daiki Komura was surrounded by neon-lit high-rise buildings.

After seeing that Daiki Komura had finished his call.

They swarmed over like gossip reporters.

"How did it go? What did Sato say?"

"Did Sato agree?"

···

As a mere negotiation expert, Xiaocun Daihui naturally dared not keep these big shots in suspense.

So he recounted the entire conversation in detail.

"A girl's voice?"

"He should be one of the demi-humans in Sato's team."

"One in the morning? It's ten o'clock at night now, there are still 3 hours..."

"Sato doesn't seem to have rejected our peace talks!"

···

While everyone was asking about the situation in Xiaocun Dahui.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Junichiro Ozawa was speaking frantically to him, the contents of his words remaining unknown. All that was known was that Ozawa's expression, initially nonchalant, had become serious…

-------------------------------------

Embassy of the Republic of America in Japan.

This place has been converted into a temporary military headquarters.

Corolla is currently planning the detailed arrangements for this strike.

Since Carola was the overall commander of the operation, even Lieutenant General Adam Branson, the Marine Corps Commander-in-Chief of America, only provided him with some military guidance and arrangements.

"How's the Dragonfly drone's reconnaissance going?"

An American technician reported: "Sir, the Dragonfly drone has infiltrated the building where the demi-humans are located, but its exact location is unknown."

"Unable to determine? Is it an infrared imager?"

The technician quickly explained, "Neon Gold added a heat insulation layer to the building's walls, making infrared imaging unusable."

“Shit, damn lowlife!” Carola cursed.

"Find the target as soon as possible and confirm whether they are inside the building. It doesn't matter if we are exposed."

Carola wasn't going to waste any more time. Once she confirmed that Kanae Kobayami was inside the building, she would launch an attack. After all, she couldn't possibly fly away.

"Yes, sir!"

Now that there was no need to worry about being exposed, the Dragonfly drone began to speed up its search.

The Dragonfly drone doesn't actually resemble a dragonfly in appearance, but it possesses its characteristics: small size, high aerial agility, virtually silent flight, and built-in miniature cameras and scanners for comprehensive, blind-spot-free external monitoring...

······

While Carola and the others were discussing how to pinpoint Kobayami Kanae's location.

Several uninvited guests arrived outside the Japanese Self-Defense Forces garrison base occupied by Sato.

They were Kei Nagai, Yu Tozaki, and their group.

Previously, Yu Tosaki reported information about Kanae Kobayami to the higher-ups in Japan through the Beastman Club.

They also promised that they could stop Sato and America.

Kawama Rikuzo, who was temporarily in charge of the encirclement forces, glanced at Tozaki Yu with a complicated expression.

He was very familiar with Yu Tosaki, after all, he was the one who had previously been in charge of providing military assistance to the Ajin Management Committee.

Strictly speaking, he was Yu Tosaki's colleague.

Of course, in his eyes, Tosaki Yu, who was just a scapegoat for the higher-ups, was not his colleague at all.

As Sato's commotion grew, he thought that Yu Tozaki would be pushed out to take the blame long ago.

Unexpectedly, the other party is still alive and well, and this time he has even been authorized by the Prime Minister to negotiate with Sato.

Looking at Tozaki Yu in front of him, he forced a smile: "Haha, long time no see."

"Hmm." Tosaki Yu glanced at him indifferently, then left without saying anything, leaving Kawama looking embarrassed.

The Japanese Self-Defense Force reinforcements surrounding the garrison base received orders from higher command to clear the road and allow them to pass.

The building inside the military base that Sato had occupied was illuminated as brightly as day by hundreds of searchlights.

Dozens of armed helicopters were still illuminating the building's rooftops, the area behind the building, and other blind spots from the air.

In addition, major Japanese media outlets and journalists also used private helicopters to report live from the air.

It's safe to say that no one can sneak away from here without being discovered.

Of course, Hui never considered leaving.

Kei Nagai came to the open space in front of the building alone.

He raised his hands high and shouted into the building, "Mr. Sato, I have important information to tell you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Tozaki started playing recordings through a military loudspeaker.

Recording 8: "Zzz— Mr. Tozaki, what did you do on August 23rd? ...Zzz— That day we received a report from the public that they had spotted Sato, but after investigating, we found out it was just a citizen cosplaying, so we went back..."

Recording 8: "Zzz—, Mr. Jugabe, what did Senior Tozaki do on August 23rd?...Zzz—, I remember that day, you went to capture a demi-human who resembled Kanae Kobayami, but you didn't bring anyone back. That incident greatly disappointed the higher-ups..."

Recording 8: "Buzz—, is this Officer Hengxiong? What mission do you have on August 23rd?"

...Zzz—, August 23rd? Oh, that rainy day, there really is a mission.

"The Ajin Management Committee is a real piece of work! That day, in such heavy rain, they mobilized over a hundred people from our Metropolitan Police Department to arrest some Ajin named something like 'Little Something,' and we ended up waiting in the rain for over three hours! And that expressionless face from the Ajin Management Committee actually told us they had the wrong target!! Baka yarou, wrong target my ass..."

Recording 4, Recording 5, Recording...

The following recordings were all statements from the police officers who responded to the call that day.

Chapter 98 Reason

Why was Hui's arrival in this world exposed? Was it because she carelessly failed to discover that Shimomura Izumi was a demi-human being kept by the demi-human management committee?

No, it's not.

It was because Hui's psychological manipulation level was only level 4 at the time, and rewriting the memories of the more than one hundred police officers surrounding the rental house was too troublesome, so... Hui slacked off!

These more than one hundred police officers became direct evidence of Hui's abilities.

Their police dispatch records and their statements were full of inconsistencies, and anyone who examined them closely would find Hui's suspicious points.

Keiya Nagai astutely noticed this, so he obtained the testimonies of almost all the police officers who participated in the arrest operation.

The recording continued playing, with content largely the same: it documented a failed operation by the Metropolitan Police Department to capture demi-humans, the failure attributed to an intelligence error by the Demi-human Management Committee.

However, careful observers will notice that, when all the recordings are considered together, Yu Tozaki's testimony is clearly different from the others.

Judging from the number of people, it's clear that Yu Tozaki lied.

Reporters high in the air broadcast the scene live, and this footage was broadcast nationwide.

A beautiful female reporter from the Asahi Shimbun in Japan said to the camera:

"This is the location of the 1st Infantry Regiment of the 1st Army Self-Defense Force Division, which was attacked in Nerima Ward, Tokyo."

I'm Nobuko Tonomiya, a reporter from the Asahi Shimbun, bringing you the latest updates on the Sato attack.

As you can see, Sato has occupied the core building of the Self-Defense Forces' base and planted biological and chemical weapons inside, causing the Self-Defense Forces reinforcements surrounding the base to hesitate to make any moves.

For a time, the two sides were deadlocked.

But just now, things have changed.

As you can see, the third Ajin in Japan, Kei Nagai, appeared in front of the building. He played a recording, which contained information about the failure of the Ajin Management Committee's arrest operation and that Yu Tosaki, the former head of the Ajin Management Committee, was lying in the recording.

Is there anything special about this recording? What is Kei Nagai up to this time? How will things unfold? Please watch our live broadcast...

The Yomiuri Shimbun, Mainichi Shimbun, Sankei Shimbun, Tokyo Shimbun, and Nihon Keizai Shimbun... also began reporting similar stories.

Immediately, everyone present and viewers across the country watching this scene on television began to anticipate what would happen next.

Everyone is curious why Yu Tosaki lied!

At this point, the recording reached its final item.

"Zzz—, Ms. Shimomura Izumi, you were with Mr. Tosaki on August 23rd. Can you tell me about your experience?"

...Zzz—, I am Shimomura Izumi, I... am a demi-human! That day, we came to capture Kobayami Kanae based on intelligence, but in that small rented room, we... we had our memories and cognition altered by Kobayami Kanae. She implanted false memories into us, so...

So, how did you find out the truth?

Because I am a demi-human, when a demi-human is resurrected after death, their previous negative status is reset. I only awakened my true memories because I died once…”

All the reporters present astutely grasped the key to grabbing attention, and they all expressed surprise and exclaimed in astonishment:

"My God! Distorted thinking, emotional manipulation!"

Unbelievable, the truth of the world.

Just now, the last recording revealed that a demi-human named Kanae Kobayami possesses extraordinary superpowers, seemingly capable of twisting human minds! Is this true? What exactly is going on? ...

The audience scoffed.

Mind control and memory modification? How could that be possible!

There is no such thing as superpowers in the world. The media these days has no bottom line. What era are we living in? They still use superpowers to attract attention.

In fact, many viewers suspected that the Kei Nagai on TV might be an actor hired by the television station!
