I'm having fun in Tokyo

"How would you feel if this were used on you?"

Herzog's face turned deathly pale, and he couldn't help but stammer, "I..."

Over the years, he has indeed taught Kazama Ruri many methods of torture, and he also enjoys the pleasure of torturing others during interrogation, such as his own "Rebellious Interrogation Room".

He tortured the "prey" that the Shadow Warrior had found for him inside, venting his desires.

But the more he enjoyed this pleasure, the more he understood how much pain and fear those he tormented suffered.

Faced with such excruciating torture that pushes the limits of human endurance and is akin to hellish torment, even someone with a will as strong as steel would break down, let alone himself.

"I said, I said everything!"

Herzog said in a trembling voice, "I am not called 'King General' or 'Tachibana Masamune'. My name is Herzog, Jung von Herzog."

"I used to be the youngest scientist in the Third Reich Academy of Sciences. After Germany's defeat, I went to the Soviet Union and became the head of the secret Soviet port of Black Swan."

"I was there researching genetic breeding of mixed-race individuals."

"Later, a man named Bondarev appeared before me. He claimed to be a descendant of the Romanov dynasty and coerced me into working for him and helping him research the bloodlines of mixed-race people."

"It was 1991, the Soviet Union was about to collapse, and there was widespread panic. My research could not continue."

"He said he would provide me with funding, and then threatened me that he would kill me if I didn't obey. I had no choice but to do what he said, hand over the research data and results to him, along with an ancient dragon embryo in the port, and board his icebreaker."

"Then, we blew up the port together and burned all the embryos and mixed-race children we had searched for from all over the world to destroy the evidence."

"Later, we went to Japan together. When he passed through the waters off Japan, he sank the ancient dragon embryo into the abyss to awaken the 'god' below. He also asked me to act for him, to play the role of the 'King General' and help him control the demons."

Have you looked at my notes?

“Those notes belong to him. He was using you brothers as test subjects. I was just coerced into being your ‘teacher,’ and our every move was closely monitored by him.”

“I didn’t want to be controlled by him, so I finally found an opportunity to concoct a poison and killed him when he let his guard down one day.”

"After I finished all this, I originally wanted to run away, but I was tempted by what he had accomplished over the years and couldn't bear to part with his achievements, so I impersonated him until today..."

Ruri Kazama listened quietly, remaining silent.

Suddenly, Morikawa Yu spoke up: "Kazama-kun, just a heads up, he's lying."

Kazama Ruri turned around instantly and stared at Morikawa Yu.

"He's lying...?"

How do you know he's lying?

"I can't say that," Morikawa Yu said. "Just know that I have a way of detecting when someone is lying."

The method is to keep the little maid, Xinjue, by your side at all times. When you need her help, have her come over and listen to see if anyone is lying.

For example, right now, Xinjue is full of dissatisfaction and keeps complaining in the space, "This person is too much. After listening to so many words, only the first few were true, the rest were all lies. Master, please don't believe them."

Morikawa Yu: "Anyway, that's it."

Ruri Kazama nodded slightly.

Herzog was slightly taken aback: "I...I'm not lying! Everything I said is true!"

He did lie, and the rest of the story was a lie, but he could guarantee that his act was convincing enough to fool Kazama Ruri.

Although Morikawa pointed out his lie, he persisted.

He knew he couldn't admit he was lying, or Ruri Kazama would punish him in anger.

He strained to look up at Morikawa Yu's position.

"Liuli! He's lying to you! This person is lying to you!"

"He wants the method to complete the Path to the Underworld. He helped you capture me in order to obtain the method for the Path to the Underworld, which is why he stopped me from continuing!"

"Heh." Morikawa Yu gave a cold laugh.

He didn't even bother to refute Herzog's slander, and looked directly at Kazama Ruri: "Kazama-kun, if you doubt me, I only want one question from you: do you believe me, or do you believe him?"

"Would I really care about his research notes?"

"If I really cared about this kind of thing, would I need to help you? I could handle it myself."

Kazama Ruri took a deep breath: "I know."

Although he had only met Morikawa Yu not long ago, Morikawa Yu had indeed helped him a lot, cared about him a lot, and even captured the real Herzog and interrogated him together.

He couldn't have accomplished these things on his own.

On the other hand, Herzog used him and harmed him. If Morikawa Yu hadn't brought Herzog back just now, he would have been controlled by Herzog's clapper sound and would have had no choice but to submit.

Kazama Ruri gripped the black-bladed dagger, slashed open Herzog's clothes, the sharp blade cutting through the skin on his ribs, making a cut, then reversed the blade and slowly slashed it with the back of the blade.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Herzog screamed in agony, his face contorted and his body writhing violently, like a limbless insect struggling desperately.

"Tell me the truth!" Kazama Ruri said coldly.

Although he knew he wasn't a real demon, the things he had done under Herzog's influence over the years were no different from those of a demon. Now that he knew Herzog still dared to deceive him, he wouldn't mind transforming into a demon again.

"I'll talk! I'll talk!" Herzog gritted his teeth.

"I lied! I didn't come to Japan with Bondarev!"

"After we blew up the port with a vacuum bomb and burned all those experimental children to death, he shot me in the heart from behind, threw me into the flames of the explosion, and boarded the icebreaker alone!"

"But I didn't die. My heart is different from ordinary people; it's on the right side. And the flames from the explosion didn't kill me; they just disfigured me."

“I survived by chance and used my pre-prepared escape plan to travel to Japan.”

“In Japan, I had plastic surgery to transform my burned face into a Japanese one, and then I searched for Bondarev. Finally, I heard that he had sunk the icebreaker in the Sea of ​​Japan, and I knew that he was preparing to resurrect the White King.”

"I can't let him succeed first."

"So I searched for him desperately, using all my experience and wisdom."

"Finally, I found a small boat in the area where the icebreaker sank. He was very likely on that boat, because he sank the ancient dragon embryo into the sea and needed to monitor Takamagahara in the trench. He was most likely traveling here in a small boat equipped with a sonar system."

“But his lineage is far superior to mine, and I might not be able to defeat him in a head-on confrontation. So I used a submachine gun to spray bullets across the boat, turning its cabin into a honeycomb.”

"Then I boarded the ship to search and found a dead body in the cabin. The dead body also had a Japanese face."

“I can’t be sure it was Bondarev, but a black notebook I found there helped me identify him. That notebook contained the entire procedure for resurrecting the god, as well as my research findings.”

“I confirmed his identity, and then I figured out his plan.”

"He plans to infiltrate the Snake Clan, a family of mixed Japanese blood, to obtain the secret of 'God' from this family that controls the Japanese underworld, and then resurrect Him and obtain His power."

"But it's not enough."

“I made changes to his plan and also brought the Ghosts under my control.”

"And the Kanto branch."

“Those people in the Kanto branch are all my pawns.”

“They are nominally elites recommended by me under the identity of ‘Tachibana Masamune’, but in fact they are all undercover agents of the Demon Clan that I planted under the identity of ‘King General’.”

"And what Bondarev doesn't know is that my proudest research works are not those research results, but you, your brother, and your sister, Erii!"

“You are all embryos that I cultivated using your father Uesugi Koshi’s genes.”

“Among tens of thousands of embryos, you three are the best, so I was going to take you with me. I burned all the other embryos to death with the flames of the explosion, leaving only you.”

"Eri...is my sister?" Kazama Ruri asked, stunned.

He knew Erii.

She is the "little princess" of the Snake Clan, and also their secret weapon locked deep inside the building.

The Snake Clan has always kept her well hidden.

But he knew her, not for that reason, but because of his older brother, Genjiro.

After his brother saw him as a "ghost" and executed him, he heard that his brother had a younger sister named Erii, and he used his affection for that sister to alleviate the guilt of killing his younger brother.

This made him feel even more lonely.

But he never expected that Erii was also his sister, and that she was his and his brother's biological sister.

"That's right, that's exactly it, haha."

Herzog laughed.

When he was lying just now, he had a fearful expression on his face, hoping to fool Kazama Ruri and Morikawa Yu with his acting skills.

Now that he had told the truth, he knew that Kazama Ruri would definitely not let him off the hook, and he felt extremely pleased, with a smug look on his face.

How could he not be pleased?

He used intrigue and trickery to completely outmaneuver the Sheqi Hachike and the Menggui Clan, two families that dominated the Japanese underworld. He imprisoned the most powerful "demon" in the deepest part of the building and manipulated the two "emperors" at will.

Even if he were killed the next moment, he felt he had made a profit!

Ruri Kazama stood there blankly.

Herzog continued, "I was tricked by Bondarev and thrown into the fire. Then Bondarev took you away and hid you very well. I didn't find you until you were teenagers."

"But you alone are not enough."

“I needed to do further research, so I built a breeding pond under the Genji Heavy Industries building to raise Deadpools in it.”

“I gathered many people, used drugs to alter their bodies, mutated them, cut them open while they were still alive, and removed their internal organs, brains and glands so that I could observe their changes.”

"There are also pregnant women who are very valuable for research. If we can cut open their bodies while they are still alive, we can determine the effects of dragon blood on the fetus and how these fetuses become Deadpools."

Ruri Kazama finally came to her senses.

“I know about these things, but I always thought it was 'Tachibana Masamune' who did them.”

“But I am 'Tachibana Masamune,' and I did all of these things.” Herzog laughed again.

"I did it all!"

“But I did nothing wrong! What did I do wrong? I just wanted to obtain the power of the White King, ascend the throne, and become the new ‘god’.”

"In this world, only power and force are the eternal laws!"

"These are just necessary sacrifices for power. I merely 'consume' their value and then step over their corpses to ascend the throne."

"What did I do wrong? I..."

Herrzog was unable to continue speaking as Kazama Ruri pressed a knife against his left chest and cut open the flesh.

"Spare me!" Herzog seemed to feel the fear of death again and begged for mercy once more: "I know the way to become the White King, the real way to become a 'god'."

"These methods are written in those notebooks."

“These are the fruits of my and Bondarev’s labor, all written in shorthand symbols that only I can understand. If you kill me, they will be useless.”

"If you don't understand it, you don't understand it; if it's useless, it's useless," Morikawa Yu coldly interrupted Herzog.

"Only a beast like you would think they're useful."

He walked to Herzog's side, looked down at Herzog, and slowly drew the twin swords from his waist.

Although Herzog tempted him by promising him the path to becoming a "god," he was unlike Herzog, a heartless beast, and had no interest in such a method that required sacrificing others.

If he were interested, when Kannazuki Chiko came to his house and Hizuki and Mitsuko persuaded him, he would obey Hizuki and let her extract Kannazuki Chiko's source power so that he could become a half-demon immortal.

But he didn't do that.

Because he wouldn't do something so inhumane for the sake of power.

He raised his knife.

Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine, and he instinctively dodged to the side, slashing his sword behind him.

Chapter 469 Atonement with Death!

The sword flashed.

He then realized that there was a tall, dark figure behind him.

It had just sneaked in from outside the warehouse, rushed through the warehouse room, raised its sharp claws, and attacked him from behind.

Behind Kazama Ruri was a similar figure, only slightly smaller, about the same size as the shadow warrior he had just dealt with in the garage.

Deadpool?
