They were in a place that looked like a "military shooting range," their hands and feet were bound, they were kneeling on the ground, and their bodies were covered in injuries, clearly indicating that they had suffered inhumane torture.

"Mom, Dad, I'm scared..." the child said timidly.

"Don't be afraid, Mom and Dad will always be with you." The woman's face was pale, but she still showed love when facing her child.

But in the boundless darkness, this glimmer of maternal radiance could be shattered at any moment.

Yu Hui's pupils widened; he recognized these three people.

The middle-aged man's name is [Shunichi Maki].

He was once a second lieutenant in the Self-Defense Forces, and later became "Nexter" after coming into contact with light. He was the first generation of the Adaptor!

The woman is Maki Shunichi's wife – [Maki Yoko].

She is virtuous, considerate, and understanding, with the awareness that "I am the wife of a fighter pilot," and she silently supports the family when Maki Shunichi is busy with work.

The child is the son of Maki Shunichi—[Maki Tsugumu].

He suffers from a congenital disease that could kill him at any time, but he is strong, brave, obedient, and sensible, supporting his father's career.

Shunichi Maki fought bravely in the skies above Shinjuku in order to protect his beloved family.

If Yu Hui were to meet them under normal circumstances, he would smile and chat with the family, asking how Maki Shunichi had been doing all these years, and whether Mizuhara Sara had used the "Visitor" technology to cure his son.

But in this dark and distorted world, they are separated by a cold screen, the boundary between life and death.

"In the very end, is there anything you want to say to 'Yu Hui,' the one who caused you to end up like this?" On the screen, a man appears with his back to the camera.

That voice... it's Mizoroki Shinya!

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed across Maki Shunichi's exhausted yet resolute face. He roared at the camera, "Keep it up! Don't give up!"

He did not bow his head, nor did he yield; instead, he unleashed his defiant roar.

Those who embody light will not yield to darkness.

Gou Lümu exclaimed in admiration:

"You've got guts. It's a real shame I couldn't fight you when you were bathed in light."

"However, I will soon be able to make up for this feeling by defeating that seemingly 'frightening' Ultraman Belial."

"Goodbye, the coming dark age has no place for a person of light like you."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and immediately three dark guns were pressed against the back of the heads of the family of three.

"No!" Yu Hui couldn't help but roar.

Lulu's voice continued to come from off-screen:

"Let me guess, are you in a hurry right now?"

"But there's no use in rushing, because this is a pre-recorded video."

"What's meant to happen is already set in stone."

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Three gunshots rang out, and brains and blood splattered everywhere.

Three headless corpses fell to the ground, and blood spread.

"What's going on?!"

"What's on this TV?!"

The surrounding crowd, unaware of the truth, erupted in uproar, while Yu Hui trembled all over, his hands clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his palms, drawing blood.

Lulu on TV continued:

“I won’t say ‘they died because of you’ because I know it won’t do you any good.”

"You don't need to blame yourself, you just need to hate."

"Come on, hate me as much as you want, hate this world."

This is a mockery from the most terrifying demon in history.

"By the way, I'll give you a chance to save someone."

"At 8 PM tonight, on Mount Aso, you can try to rescue this person."

The scene changed again, and the face of the second-generation host, Ji Shizhun, appeared on the television.

After that, the screen returned to normal.

The surrounding crowd was buzzing with discussion. Yu Hui was still trembling all over, his pupils bloodshot.

Belial didn't know how to offer kind words of comfort, so he could only say, "Calm down. If you get angry, you'll only be doing them a favor."

Even Yu Hui's voice was trembling:

“I knew that guy was trying to provoke me… and he did succeed.”

"I rationally understand that I cannot let anger and hatred control my emotions."

"But right now... all I want to do is tear these bastards to pieces!"

Chapter 849 The Light Reached the Hands of the Lonely Gate

Inside the Night Raid Team's command center, Komon was also deeply shaken when he witnessed the tragic deaths of the Maki family.

He immediately flew into a rage and lunged at Gou Lümu, grabbing his collar and trying to pin him against the wall.

"How...how could you do such a thing? Are you even human?!"

But Gou Lümu was much more agile than Gu Men, dodging his throat lock and subduing him instead.

The other team members rushed over to separate the two.

At this point, Gou Lümu voluntarily opened the gate and began to "explain".

He didn't say things like "one should stop at nothing to achieve one's goals" or "three lives don't matter." Instead, he asked, "Are you really sure I killed those three people?"

Upon hearing this, Komon seemed to sense a glimmer of hope, and his emotions eased slightly as if he had grasped a lifeline: "What do you mean?"

Goroki: "Is what you see necessarily real? Couldn't it be a virtual image, a video composite, or some other film technique?"

Komon quickly asked, "So, those three people didn't die?"

Goroki smiled sinisterly. Instead of answering Komon directly, he said, "You know, Komon, I've been watching you for a long time."

Komon was taken aback: "Huh?"

Gou Lümu patted Gu Men on the shoulder:

"Before doing anything next time, be sure to think it through carefully."

"If you choose the wrong path, the people who are important to you will be disappointed in you."

After saying that, he left with the words, "The operation is about to begin, be prepared."

Only the remaining three remained, standing there in astonishment.

Except for Saijo Nagi, who still looked disgusted: "You absolutely cannot believe what he says!"

Shiori Hiraki wrinkled her nose: "There seems to be a fresh smell of blood on him..."

On the other side, inside a newspaper office.

A middle-aged reporter in a plaid shirt and a female reporter in business attire were stunned when they saw Ji Shizhun's photo on television.

The middle-aged man is named Genrai, and the female reporter is named Sakuta Megumi. Both of them had close relationships with Himeya Jun.

But Jun Himeya disappeared for a long time, and when they met again, they found him on the "death list".

At this point, the cabinet press officer on television spoke, apologizing for the hijacking of the power lines.

He said it was a case of "double-crossing" and promised to set up a trap on Mount Aso tonight to kill all the outlaws.

"So, the police and the military will go to rescue Himeya?" the female reporter asked expectantly.

But Genlai, who had once owned a newspaper, said he had a bad feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed.

During this time, he had been investigating and felt that a huge force was at work in places unknown to people.

Now, this force sent chills down his spine; it was the taste of death.

Female reporter: "So what do you mean?"

Boss: "Let's go take a look. Maybe we can find out what's going on behind the scenes!"

Meanwhile, Yu Hui, who had been standing motionless on the street for almost two hours, stopped trembling and his expression returned to calm.

Only Beria, who was of one mind with him, knew that a storm was brewing in his seemingly calm eyes.

Belial asked, "So, the reason why Jun Himeya, whom you mentioned, didn't come that night was because..."

Yu Hui: "With Dark Lucifer personally taking action, Nexus in any form has absolutely no chance of winning."

Beria: "That night..."

Yu Hui took a deep breath: "Go! No matter how many swords, halberds, blades, and clubs come at us, I will break them all!"

On the other side, there was still an hour before the mission began.

Komon paced outside the base, but the restlessness in his heart did not lessen in the slightest.

Goroki's words about "important people" seemed to have a hidden meaning, which made him inexplicably uneasy.

He went to the riverbank and took out a small doll with wings.

This was a gift from his girlfriend, Riko Saito, when he went to see her during his vacation after finishing his training.

He proudly told Riko that his new job was more sacred than that of the rescue team.

Riko then gave him this handmade amulet as a way of encouraging him to work hard in his new job.

But now... this job, and even the whole world, has become unrecognizable.

Gou Lümu never explicitly stated later whether the family of three was truly dead or had faked their deaths.

But this place is definitely contrary to his ideals.

He hesitated for a moment, but still made a call to Riko, wanting to hear her voice and find some support.
