"It seems Kira has been using our internal police authority to access criminal information. He's even saved people whose crimes were deliberately framed as minor and extraordinarily heinous."
Makima slowly raised two fingers and made a "yeah" gesture, but the words she said had nothing to do with that kind of relaxing thing.
"First, you need to know the person's real name, and second, you need to see their appearance."
"Looking at all the cases Kira committed, including the crime plan incident, the juvenile offender posted his real name and photo on the Savior website, which allowed Kira's ability to be activated."
"Kira didn't respond to any other provocations."
"Nishiguchi Hideyuki also died in Kira's hands in this way."
"On the other hand, everyone in the control group deserved to die. But because their real names and appearances were not exposed, Kira had no way to start~"
"this..."
Question first, then accept.
Ji Ye was just about to find out the problem, but he found...it seemed to make unexpected sense.
Can you kill someone just by knowing their real name and appearance? Is that really that terrifying?
Himeno's simple values deeply believe that with every gain comes loss, and the greater the power, the more it loses. Just like her ghost demon power, every activation is accompanied by loss, whether it's half of her hair, turning her long hair short. Or it's her foot skin, causing her feet to ache dully without the protection of the old skin wrapped in socks...
Makima seemed to notice Himeno's confusion and turned her back to her, "But unfortunately, the price of Kira's ability remains unknown."
For three days, all the animals in Tokyo were under the control of Makima, and no trace of Kira activating his abilities was found.
There are only two possibilities. First, Kira himself is not within the Tokyo area. Second, Kira's ability can be delayed, thereby avoiding his own tracking.
Ji Ye sighed, feeling a bit disappointed, yet also a bit excited. Miss Makima had to be so quick to figure out some of Kira's abilities. If things continued like this, Kira would probably be apprehended soon!
"Come and see the declaration of war Kira gave us~"
Makima raised her index finger and stroked the photo in the file, touching the lines of bloody words as if she was touching Kira's face.
"Found us? You mean they found the headquarters of our Public Security Anti-Magic Section 4~"
Makima's words brought Ji Ye back to reality, and his heart trembled. "Ms. Makima, my suggestion is to evacuate this building immediately and find a new location. If Kira really confirms that this is the headquarters, we will be in a very passive position. As you said, if Kira knows our real name and face, we will be in danger of being killed."
"It's too late~"
"When you find one ant in your home, there's often already a whole colony."
"Kira just said this to us so openly, which means that our whereabouts have been completely exposed. No matter where we hide, Kira will be able to control our position."
"However, every file that enters the Public Security Anti-Magic Section 4 is secretly sealed and controlled by the Chief Cabinet Secretary alone. Even I don't have the authority to access it. In other words, even if Kira knew the location of the Public Security, he wouldn't be able to meet the two requirements for murder."
"If..." Makima reached for the drawer and opened it, pulling out a skin-friendly fabric similar to a "human skin mask" and shaking it: "If you continue to cover your face like this, Kira will be completely helpless~"
"this..."
Ji Ye swallowed his saliva: "Isn't the risk a bit too great? What if Kira doesn't need to see the face clearly, doesn't need to know the real name, and can activate his ability just by seeing the 'person', then everything will be over."
"That won't happen." Makima was extremely confident: "I felt it when I fought Kira that day. There is no such thing as unlimited power in the world."
"But..." Ji Ye wanted to persuade him further.
"Come on, put it on."
Makima's tone revealed an authority that did not allow for refusal, and she gave the order forcefully.
Seeing this, Ji Ye could only give up. He took the mask handed to him by Makima and put it on his face. It was cool and quite comfortable.
"Miss Makima, don't you need it yourself?"
"Kira can't kill me~" Makima said leisurely, "Or rather, I'm not afraid of Kira's abilities."
As the only person who has fought Kira, Makima has a clear understanding of his own position and knows that Kira cannot kill him.
"Let's talk about the second thing~"
Makima stitched the two photos together. "It means that on September 9th, Kira will attack the Shinrikyo branch in Chiba and kill them all without leaving a single one alive... What an arrogant and criminal declaration~"
"So, Himeno, you have all the information about the Truth Cult, right? What's going on?"
"Yes." Ji Ye's expression froze, and she immediately reported the information about the Truth Cult to Makima. She concluded, "Since the Truth Cult matter doesn't involve demons or supernatural criminals, it falls under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police Department. The Public Security Section 4's External Affairs Office doesn't collect more detailed information."
"What should we do now, Ms. Makima? Should we make all the members of the Truth Church's branch change their names and faces and go into hiding?"
Based on the two previous speculations, this is Ji Ye's coping strategy. Is it possible to just go to a specialized agency to change the name, then go to a plastic surgery hospital to change the appearance, and then wait for the storm to die down to save face?
'It's horrible.'
"Just a threatening letter is enough to force the target to change his or her future life."
"This is Kira..."
"I'll go send a notice to the head of the Truth Church now."
Ji Ye turned around anxiously. How many members were there in the Chiba Shinrikyo cult? How many of them would Kira kill? Ji Ye didn't know, but the number was definitely not small. September 9th was approaching, and the project was so huge that every second counted.
Of course, she also knew that this kind of religion inevitably involved something between gray and black. Furthermore, Kira's direct declaration of his intention to take action against them made their crimes a foregone conclusion. However, they shouldn't have died at Kira's hands. Instead, they should have been brought to justice to set things right and restore the dignity of the law, rather than being trampled upon by Kira again and again!
Just as Ji Ye turned around.
Makima's eyes glowed with a holy golden light, like the sun hanging high in the sky at noon. "Stop."
As soon as the words fell, invisible chains began to extend from Makima's spine, instantly locking Ji Ye's body tightly.
Ji Ye found that he could not move his body.
It was as if she had suddenly switched from first-person to third-person perspective. All her senses were still there, but she simply couldn't integrate into the body of Ji Ye. It was as if her soul and body had been disconnected. As if pulled by invisible threads, she turned around and faced Makima again.
"Ji Ye~" Makima said in a stern tone: "Do you remember what I said on the first day you joined the Public Security Anti-Demon Section 4? The reason why we established the Demon Section is for one and only one purpose, to suppress demons and solve the hidden dangers brought by superpowers."
"For this, sacrifice is necessary~"
"What if we lose the target of the Truth Church and Kira's wrath is directed at us, the Public Security Police? Should we let the Public Security Police die as scapegoats for the Truth Church?"
"If we lose the target of the Shinrikyo, we won't be able to set a trap to capture Kira. If Kira doesn't take action, how can we arrest him? Are we just going to let this extremely dangerous criminal wander around Japan like a ghost?"
"No matter how you look at it, letting Kira kill the Truth Cult members is the best outcome. Japan will have one less scourge, and we can use this opportunity to arrest Kira."
"This is Kira's declaration of war. We must accept it no matter what."
Makima's voice was getting closer and closer, and she gradually walked in front of Jiye, and her majestic eyes stared straight at Jiye.
Ji Ye was sweating profusely.
She couldn't utter a word, only a sense of fear as if she were falling into an abyss. However, her inner sense of justice and responsibility would not allow her to just obey Makima's point of view.
Allowing Kira to kill people to obtain the benefits they need... After doing this, what is the difference between their Public Security Anti-Magic Section 4 and Kira?
They are the public security police!
Ji Ye struggled to speak, but found she couldn't escape this disconnected state, unable to even summon the ghost demon. It was like encountering a terrifying existence at the top of the food chain. The ghost demon was already hiding inside her, trembling and daring not to utter a word.
Although Himeno had realized during the Nishiguchi Hideyuki incident that Miss Makima was not as decent as she had imagined, until now... Makima was not the righteous police officer she had imagined.
He will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, but he faithfully fulfills his duty to capture Kira.
How can one describe this kind of person? Everything has its limits, and good becomes evil?
"It seems that Officer Himeno is not very willing to cooperate~"
"Then I have no choice but to order you~"
In Jiye's horrified eyes, Makima raised her finger and gently tapped Jiye's brow.
"This is the last time."
"Forget about your own thoughts. Go and get all the information on Chiba Shinrikyo, focusing on all the social and financial transactions of the branch leader since he arrived in Chiba..."
Those cold golden eyes became more and more brilliant.
...
...
"Hey, hey! How are we supposed to find it in this ruin?!"
"All traces have been taken away by the police, and the surrounding surveillance footage has expired and automatically destroyed. I think Hayakawa Kiyo is just trying to make things difficult for us!"
"Looks like I have to ask Lao Da for help again."
One of the members of the Truth Church's Autonomous Department shouted in dissatisfaction and kicked a stone away.
The stone kept rolling and rolled to the feet of the leader of the Autonomous Department, Dan Benwu.
Duan Benwu covered his eyes with black silk, but in the center of his forehead was a "Heavenly Eye" carved like a tattoo. He put his hands behind his back, and one of his younger brothers handed him a drawing board.
"Hehehe, I saw it, I saw it~"
He shouted excitedly, and the pencil in his hand moved quickly, drawing out the faces of all the people who appeared around the scene when the crime happened.
"Uhhh-!!!"
Suddenly, he let out a painful howl, and two lines of blood and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"Lao Da! What's wrong with you?" Seeing this, the younger brothers around him surrounded him.
Their leader Duan Benwu is the core of their autonomous department. All the funds they can get from the leader depend on the merits achieved by Duan Benwu.
Duan Benwu, a person with supernatural powers, possesses a "clairvoyance," which allows him to draw the faces of people who appear within a specific range within a certain period of time. However, this ability only works for ordinary people. He has tried many times, but whenever he encounters something he doesn't know, his eyes tear up and he becomes unable to begin.
At this moment, Duan Benwu covered his eyes in pain.
"Ahhh, my eyes, I can't see my eyes!" He let out a painful wail. He was not blind, but he had to cover his eyes with black satin when using his ability.
But just now, he seemed to have seen the most terrifying thing in the world, as if he were staring into the abyss. A single glance destroyed his eyes, forever depriving him of the power to see the light. It was like a minor punishment from the gods for offending someone.
What kind of terrifying ability was this? After more than ten days, even if he just glanced at something, he would be stripped of his eyes as punishment?
He didn't have time to wail for his shattered eyes, and hurriedly waved the portrait in his hand.
"It's right here!" Duan Benwu roared, "The person who destroyed this place is among the seventeen portraits that once appeared here!"
"As long as we arrest people based on the content of the portrait, we can definitely catch that Kira easily!"
Dan Benwu was absolutely certain that it was because he had drawn "Kira" that he had suffered such backlash. With a sinister smile on his face, he tore off his black satin, breathing heavily. It was a pity that, deprived of his sight, he would never again have the chance to appreciate his own painting skills.
"Go and find them immediately! Use your geographical, blood, and academic connections! Find these seventeen people!"
"Ah..." The younger brothers looked at each other, and one of them stood up and asked, "Master, what will happen after you find the person?"
"Do I need to teach you this? Torture them and see which one is Kira! If you can't find out, send them all to Tokyo Bay!"
Duan Benwu said viciously, "They are all sinful souls, and all need to be purified! For the dignity of the Truth Church and for the great cause of the leader, all destabilizing factors must be eliminated! Do you understand?"
"Go quickly!"
"Yes!"
Several members of the Autonomous Department pulled out their phones, took photos of the portrait, and turned to leave. From behind them, they heard the sinister voice of Duan Benwu again: "Clean your hands and feet, otherwise, there might be more unnecessary disappearances."
Soon, several members of the Autonomous Department came to the corner where Dan Benwu could not see and whispered.
"I have some connections in the Metropolitan Police Department. I'll ask him to send me the information about the people these portraits correspond to."
"Hurry up, didn't you see how anxious he was?"
The man quickly took a photo and sent the contents to his "informant" within the Metropolitan Police Department. The Metropolitan Police Department, which has been infiltrated like a sieve, is not short of moles who are paid to do things.
Soon, there was a response from the other end of the phone.
[Inside Ghost: Are you crazy? 17 people? What do you want to do?]
Obviously, this wasn't the first time the insider had made a deal. He had also assisted members of the Truth Church in combating dissidents and leaking information to the Metropolitan Police Department many times.
[Little brother: Don't worry about what they're doing, just quickly get me the information on these seventeen people.]
[Inside Ghost: Stop kidding! The data search will leave a record. If you guys do something this big, I'll definitely be investigated if anything happens. And then I won't be able to keep my clothes!]
[Little Brother: You mean you're quitting? Don't blame me for not reminding you, if you don't, there are plenty of people who will!]
[Insider: Haha, you misunderstood. What I meant was that one of the people here looks familiar. He's probably my brother, a close friend, and the risk is high, so the price can't be the same as before. It's a flat price, 200 million yen for one person's information!]
My brain's CPU was spinning like crazy, and even with his elementary school education, he was able to calculate the final amount of money that would be paid. 17 people would have to pay a full 3400 million yen!
The younger brother exclaimed: "This is crazy!"
Just as he was about to fight back, he was stopped by another person: "Since Duan Ben Lao Da is pressing for you, don't worry about it. At worst, after we're done, we can take this guy back to the dojo, make him spit out what he ate, and then give him the valuables..."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and drew a line on his neck.
"Okay, let's do as you say!"
Soon, a dirty deal was completed.
