Although he has good work ability, the island nation currently has very little understanding of "other races".
It is known that only other types of demi-humans can release invisible black monsters (IBM for short), and that they may release a large number of IBMs at once when they die.
Fearing that Shinya Nakamura might cause another flood phenomenon resulting in numerous casualties, the authorities decided to give him the cold shoulder.
This means abandoning the attempt to arrest them, allowing them to escape on their own, and then ignoring them completely.
I thought that "different species" like Shinya Nakamura were just special cases, but I never expected that a freak like Natsuhiko would appear now.
The surveillance footage shows that even without suffering any harm, this Japanese-Chinese immigrant, who immigrated to the island nation through his parents, also known as the third Ajin, Xia Yan, still seems to be able to unleash IBM in multiple forms.
And its destructive power is clearly greater than all known IBM.
This was clearly evident in the terrified eyes of the dead.
However, for some reason, the surveillance footage did not seem to capture the IBM that Xia Yan released.
It is clear that the large amount of IBM released when Shinya Nakamura died could have been captured on surveillance footage.
'So, only those face-to-face with Xia Yan can see the IBM he releases...'
Thinking of this, Tosaki Yu frowned again.
His problem wasn't just Xia Yan's strength.
More importantly, unlike Shinya Nakamura, who attempts to blend into ordinary people to hide his existence as a demi-human, Natsuhiko clearly harbors considerable hostility towards the entire country and even the world.
They have even publicly declared through the media that they intend to carry out a massacre.
In this situation, there's no way to handle it calmly.
"If only we could have a demi-human as an assistant..."
"That 'Tanaka' is still under the control of that group of stubborn, selfish bastards!"
"We still can't confirm whether that woman named Tainaka Yoko is a demi-human or not..."
"Damn it! Damn it! It was already on its last breath, why did it have to drag on and refuse to die sooner!"
Taking advantage of the fact that no one else was in the office, Tosaki Yu slammed his fist on the table repeatedly.
While inflicting zero damage, it also vented the dissatisfaction in one's heart.
Just then, his phone rang.
Although she knew who was calling without even looking and what the other person wanted to say without even listening, Tosaki Yu had no choice but to answer the call.
Because the person who called was his/her immediate supervisor.
"Yes, this is Yu Tozaki."
“I’ve seen the situation on TV, Tozaki. The company presidents are furious.”
"I'm very sorry, Minister!"
After hearing what was said on the phone, although I was very unwilling and thought that this matter had nothing to do with me, it really did have nothing to do with me.
However, Yu Tozaki still honestly apologized.
After all, it's for making money, so there's no shame in it.
“If this continues, I’ll have to reconsider your job assignment… No, that alone isn’t enough to atone for your sins. You need to be prepared.”
Cold sweat broke out on Tozaki Yu's face.
After all, he knew what kind of people those so-called big shots were.
Although I have not made any mistakes, since I have already taken this position and chosen this path, I must be prepared to be made a scapegoat.
Fortunately, the ministers still possessed some humanity.
Or perhaps he knew that his actions were somewhat unreasonable, and that if Tosaki Yu were to risk everything, he would ultimately not gain anything in return.
Anyone who reaches his position is certainly not a fool.
“Tozaki, I understand your difficulties. Xia Yan’s special case is not only of great importance to our island nation, but also to the United States.”
"They even sent Dr. Ikuya Ogura to conduct a sample investigation."
"He is the world's leading researcher on demi-humans. If you can seize the opportunity, you might gain even more than just this No. 3. Dr. Ogura will arrive in Japan tomorrow."
"I'll give you seventy-two hours to solve problem number three. Don't say I didn't give you a chance."
Upon hearing this, Tosaki Yu's expression softened considerably.
"Yes! Thank you very much!"
"..."
He was met with a busy signal, clearly indicating that the minister had hung up the phone after saying his last sentence.
After confirming that the other party had hung up and that there was no one around, Tosaki Yu raised her phone high, ready to smash it on the ground.
But then he took a deep breath, remembering that he had also paid for the phone.
Suppressing his anger, Yu Tosaki put his phone down again.
Just then, a news pop-up appeared on the phone screen reporting that a black humanoid monster was wreaking havoc in the city.
The words "black humanoid monster" immediately caught Yu Tosaki's attention.
He clicked in immediately.
The next second, Tosaki Yu's pupils contracted sharply, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead again.
"Xia Yan! That bastard!!!"
Chapter 161 Getting a Water Meter Checked Early in the Morning
At this time, Xia Yan was naturally unaware that he had already attracted the attention of so-called professionals.
However, he had already prepared himself for this.
After all, he had already broadcast it live through the media, although only one media outlet was broadcasting it at the time. The real excitement would have to wait until tomorrow.
It's estimated that the entire island nation will feel a small shock from the demi-humans at that time.
He is currently sitting in the car of female reporter Hashimoto Eimi, waiting to spend a wonderful evening.
Of course, he wasn't idle along the way.
Every so often, a black ghost would be thrown out of the car to have some fun.
Although it differs from a Stand in strength, the Black Ghost of the Ajin also has its own advantages.
That is, each one has a little bit of self-awareness.
Unlike Stand users who control their Stands like they're playing a video game, this is different.
The demi-human controls his black phantom more like commanding an obedient hunting dog.
While it can't reach the level of a Stand with its own consciousness, or even be able to have normal conversations with others, it can still understand the host's instructions and perform some relatively simple tasks.
Even if left unchecked for a long time, this self-awareness can actually grow to some extent.
Xia Yan's order to the Black Phantom was to let it run rampant.
So, on the route home alone, from the experimental base where Xia Yan was imprisoned to the female reporter's home, the death toll reached nearly two hundred.
This is because the road is relatively desolate and there aren't many pedestrians traveling along it.
So, without Xia Yan's knowledge, his Black Phantom made the news again.
And the death toll exceeded one hundred, a major news story that shocked the entire nation.
However, while Black Ghost was busy, Xia Yan himself was not idle either.
Instead, they worked diligently until midnight.
If Hashimoto Eimi hadn't been just an ordinary person who fell asleep from exhaustion not long after, he could have worked a few more hours.
……
early morning.
Xia Yan woke up before the first rays of sunlight had even risen.
However, it's not because they have an excellent biological clock and wake up naturally.
Instead, I was awakened by a loud explosion.
The sudden explosion startled not only Xia Yan, but also Hashimoto Eimi, who was clinging to him like an octopus.
There was a dozen or so mysterious soldiers dressed in heavy bulletproof vests, helmets, and balaclavas, armed to the teeth and dressed like counter-terrorism elites.
At this moment, they surrounded Xia Yan and Hashimoto Eimi, who were lying on the bed, in a posture of forceful observation.
Unlike the guards in the lab who charged around with shotguns like thugs, or the guards who posed with small pistols behind car doors, this was different.
This group of people are clearly the elite of the elite.
The division of labor was very clear; the first row, holding riot shields, formed a shield wall.
The person behind him was holding a submachine gun that looked very advanced.
All the gun barrels were pointed at Xia Yan's head.
It was the Metropolitan Police Department's special raiding unit—"S·A·T".
And the number is far greater than what we see here.
The residents of the surrounding area had already been cleared out, and two hundred elite SAT members were distributed here. However, due to insufficient space in the rooms, too many people coming in would actually cause mutual constraints.
Therefore, only one team was sent in.
The remaining personnel, according to tactical assignments, are waiting in designated positions for support.
Once the assault team successfully subdues Xia Yan, he will be subjected to continuous headshots every five seconds until he is successfully contained.
Although Dr. Ikuya Ogura is still on a plane from the United States to Japan and will not arrive until around the afternoon.
However, given the inhumane massacre that occurred last night, the island nation's government naturally cannot allow Xia Yan to escape justice during this period.
Therefore, based on the known intelligence, they took extreme measures.
This task was originally intended to be carried out by the Self-Defense Forces.
