Isn't it very scientific to use the Death Note to kill people?

—Gin's cold face had already given the answer.

This relieved Bourbon.

It would be dangerous if artificial intelligence fell into the hands of an organization—no official organization in the world would stand idly by and let such a thing happen. Bourbon had already urgently sent this intelligence to the Red Team before the operation. If the organization really succeeded, Bourbon was even prepared to risk his life and commit a sin by personally shooting Hiroki Sawamura.

"You'd better retreat immediately, the authorities are about to surround you."

At that moment, Jundu's voice, which had been altered, came through the headset.

Everyone present tensed up and immediately got into their cars and left.

However, before leaving, Gin gave another instruction through his earpiece: "Chianti, Cohen, keep an eye on this factory until it explodes. Report any abnormalities to me immediately."

"it is good."

Inside the research institute within the factory, the computer screens were still displaying the countdown from Noah's Ark.

"Hiroki".

The cold, electronic sound echoed throughout the research institute.

It was at this moment that several figures entered the research institute.

Their gazes were fixed on Hiroki Sawamura, whose breath was gradually weakening after swallowing APTX4869.

Chapter 286: The Last Chance

【Tomoya Yutani】

Cause of death: Shooting

【10月13号晚上23：31分，在米花町17丁目高良制药厂内执行任务期间，因恐惧躲藏起来。】

At 23:47 PM that night, after the gunfire and explosions subsided, they went to the pharmaceutical factory's research institute, where they witnessed an "unbelievable event."

[Carrying a sense of disbelief, they left through the secret passage within the research institute with their companions.]

【Gorokawa Yuuto】

At 23:47 PM that night, after the gunfire and explosions subsided, they went to the pharmaceutical factory's research institute, where they witnessed an "unbelievable event."

[At 21:32 on the second night, after a conflict with Tomoya Yutani, Yuto Gorogawa, and Keita Shino, he became dissatisfied and shot and killed the three men. He then fled to the beach and committed suicide by shooting himself.]

Based on previous tests, Lin Jiashu knew that using the Death Note to enhance the success rate of APTX4869 subjects' rejuvenation was feasible, but not 100%.

It's hard to say whether Death Note would accept such vague terms as "an unbelievable event."

But the Death Note is essentially just an inanimate object.

A significant portion of the text recorded on it will be executed based on the user's subjective will.

Lin Jiashu once used poetry to record death in his notebook.

By recording the time and manner of death of the person whose name was written in a poetic and cryptic way, those who are unaware of the truth may find it difficult to understand what Lin Jiashu wrote at first glance... but the final result is still valid, and the target died as Lin Jiashu described.

However, when Hayashi Yoshiki hypnotizes others and makes them copy the poetic text he prepared beforehand onto the pages of the Death Note, the person whose name is written on it ultimately dies simply from cardiac arrest.

Therefore, a large part of the Death Note's power still relies on the user's mind to "understand the words written on it".

Whether Hiroki Sawamura will survive depends on his luck.

Lin Jiashu looked at the laptop in front of him, which displayed his conversation with Noah's Ark.

"This is the last chance, Noah's Ark."

Don't even think about using Hiroki and me.

"I have no intention of using you."

"Hiroki Sawamura has already decided to commit suicide, and he's also erased you from his own life, hasn't he?"

"So this is the last chance."

"An opportunity for Hiroki to escape everyone's sight and live freely from now on... As for you, the world is indeed not yet ready to accommodate the birth of artificial intelligence."

What are you trying to say?

When Lin Jiashu saw Noah's Ark's reply, he knew that the other party had taken the bait.

The current situation means Hiroki Sawamura is doomed.

Even if he himself did not intend to commit suicide, the undercover agents in the brewery would never allow the brewery to obtain the power of Noah's Ark.

When the time comes, the CIA, FBI, and KGB will inevitably launch various competitions and offensives against such a genius as him.

Even Noah's Ark was something that Lin Jiashu shouldn't have been able to survive.

After all, the brewery that drove Hiroki to his death had already incurred its wrath. If it didn't disappear but continued to hide in the internet and target the brewery, it would eventually find out Yoshiki's identity... and Death Note had no way to deal with this kind of online life form.

Hiroki was indeed very valuable and had helped me a great deal.

He was unable to breach the Distillery's internal network because the Distillery had tampered with it beforehand during the creation of Noah's Ark. If there's a next time—

"A 50% success rate could allow Hiroki to survive and begin a new life."

"If he fails, it will only be a step towards the death he chose long ago."

"I don't need any of your help. On the contrary, I would prefer that you choose to end your own life when Hiroki begins his new life... Artificial intelligence is still too advanced for this world."

After a brief silence, Noah's Ark ultimately chose to accept Lin Jiashu's proposal.

Following Lin Jiashu's instructions, it changed the bomb explosion to twenty minutes later.

Meanwhile, the people from the distillery had already left the factory and were engaged in a fierce firefight as they broke through the police encirclement.

After a while,

Suddenly, a towering flame erupted at the factory site, which they had left far behind!

The terrifying explosion reached Gin's earpiece through Korn and Chianti's connection, accompanied by Chianti's profanity: "Holy crap!!! That was powerful!?"

"Ugh!!! My ears are ringing! Damn it!!"

"Grass!!!"

Gin waited a moment before asking them about the specifics, and after learning that the factory had been completely destroyed and no one had escaped, he gave up on the idea.

Although I have a vague feeling that something is wrong, let's leave it at that for now!

Anyway, even if this mission fails, it won't be his fault. Now it's Rum and Binga's turn to be overwhelmed with problems.

Tonight's experience has left Gin seething with anger!

Yoshiki Hayashi also left Tokyo Tower.

Returning to the ground from hundreds of meters in the air, all that could be heard was the wailing of police sirens throughout the city, and television screens on the streets were reporting on the gunfights taking place in various parts of the city.

Lin Jiashu disposed of the cell phone and laptop used in the operation, then got into his car and prepared to leave.

He drove smoothly toward his residence, but was stopped by traffic police on the way.

"Please stop!"

A pretty and charming female traffic police officer in her uniform gestured for him to stop.

Lin Jiashu stopped the car as instructed and rolled down the window.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"We are investigating suspicious individuals. Please cooperate with our investigation."

Looking at the handsome man who looked strangely familiar, Miyamoto Yumi gave a respectful bow and said...

Lin Jiashu was very cooperative.

After completing the investigation, Miyamoto Yumi relaxed and then took out several photos to show Hayashi Yoshiki:

Did you see these cars on your way here?

"A Hummer, and a classic Porsche...?"

"That's right, they are the dangerous individuals our police are looking for. If you spot them, sir, please remember to report it to our police immediately!"

Seeing Miyamoto Yumi's serious expression, Hayashi Yoshiki knew that Gin would soon be without his old car.

He gave a gentle smile, said "okay" with a smile, and then drove away.

He did indeed know the location of those people.

Judging from their conversation, they must have broken through the police encirclement.

Should we call the police and have them surround them again?

Chapter 287: The Bewildered Task Force

With such a commotion in the city, one can only imagine what the news in Beika Town would look like the next day.

The shootings and bombings in the street were widely reported in newspapers and among citizens.

While holding a press conference under pressure, the police, who were being held accountable, were also frantically searching for the suspects. Overnight, they made their efforts and caught quite a few killers and organization members on the spot.

Lin Jiashu was then taken to the task force's office.

"Did you see that?"

"Just like before, he used a truck loaded with logs to create an accident so that his companion could escape!"

"Only kill the wicked?"

"This bastard's comrades are recklessly exchanging fire and even detonating bombs in the city, posing a huge threat to the lives of citizens and causing incalculable property damage. Now, why aren't they punishing their comrades?!"

Odagiri Toshiro slammed his fist on the table, extremely angry.

Following the Osaka incident, another firefight broke out between mysterious organizations. In order to maintain stability and save face, the higher-ups began to put pressure on and hold the Metropolitan Police Department accountable. Watching his subordinates, Inspector Megure and Kiyonaga Matsumoto, bowing and apologizing repeatedly at the press conference, Toshiro Odagiri's suppressed anger was burning beneath his stoic expression.

Lin Jiashu silently flipped through the materials collected by the task force.

A truck accident on a city expressway caused a large chain-reaction car crash, resulting in numerous deaths and complete traffic congestion.

Although the dead were all killers whose names were written down by Lin Jiashu, to the uninformed public it was a horrific tragedy. In the eyes of the special task force, however, it was yet another instance of the killer, who was adept at using accidents to create death, turning his back on them.

Where was Thomas Sindora at the time of the incident?

"...According to our tracking, Thomas Sindora was near the scene of the accident at the time of the incident."

Seeing the minister's suppressed gaze, a police officer answered Lin Jiashu's question in a low voice.

It became.

At this point, Thomas Sindora had fulfilled her final purpose.

Even without direct evidence, Thomas Sindora's coincident appearance at the scene of the accident, amidst previous suspicions, would make anyone think he knew all along that this accident would happen.

Odagiri Toshiro had a somber expression, as if he had made a decision.

"Take Thomas Sindora to the Metropolitan Police Department for questioning."

"But Minister! We have no evidence!"
