I have to say,

This is a thrilling gamble!

And they may become witnesses to the beginning of this bloody history.

Or an accomplice.

But who the hell wants to get involved in this muddy water?

The faces of the members of the Jaeger team were complicated, but a sense of powerlessness arose in their hearts. They could not help but recall the scene that had just happened in the hell world.

Tokugawa Ritora, Sakamoto, and Shiroyasha, who took advantage of both sides' losses that day to kill two ninth-level warriors.

Unexpectedly, in just one encounter, they were all trapped in place by the man in front of them.

The border gates will eventually close again.

If those people can't get out of the "Heaven and Earth" before then, I'm afraid they will stay in that hell world full of deathly silence and despair forever.

Just when everyone in the Jaeger team was feeling heavy and complicated, Hakutaku Kimura's warm and magnetic voice sounded in everyone's ears again when countless people in the Sky Tree Square were at a loss.

"I heard the desires of your hearts, and now, I will answer your desires."

After finishing speaking, Kimura Hakutaku turned around and said warmly to Yoshizu Ichiro, who was standing behind him:

"Captain Yoshizu, please lead them to move these fruits into the elevator. Someone will take over from below."

"Ah? Uh yes!"

Yoshizu Ichiro couldn't resist the man's gaze. He finally nodded and answered bravely.

Next, the first batch of fruits brought back from the hell world were placed in the sightseeing elevator of the Sky Tree, all the way down, as if they were sent into an invisible abyss.

"Absurd! Is this guy crazy?"

The parliament building, the Prime Minister's Office, and interim Prime Minister Nobuo Kobayashi banged the tables, but everything was of no use.

He slumped down on the chair behind him with some slump, his heart filled with regret for delegating power to Kimura Hakutaku, a kind and reliable man.

He, the interim prime minister, was appointed in a critical situation and had no one to help him. He was impressed by Kimura Hakutaku's harmless smile and his generous donation to save the country from crisis. He thought that this was a rare and unique heir to a plutocratic family.

It seems now,

He is more than just different.

Just a complete lunatic.

But it was too late to say anything.

Nobuo Kobayashi, the new Foreign Minister and interim Prime Minister, knows very well that the so-called "fruit" mentioned by Hakutaku Kimura is like Pandora's box, which will never end once it is opened.

On the first floor of the Sky Tree, at the elevator entrance, there was a ding, and the downward elevator arrived.

As soon as the elevator door opened,

The boxes of fruits were taken over by a group of people from the Third Investigation Team wearing navy blue windbreakers.

These people are all old men from the fifth division led by Kimura Hakutaku in the third investigation team over the years, and everyone's face is full of pilgrim-like enthusiasm and loyalty.

"Be careful! Don't break it!"

"yes!"

Under the transportation of this team full of execution, the fruits in the black containers were quickly transported to the first floor of the Sky Tree and piled in front of the people near the Sky Tree in the square.

There aren't many words.

The members of the third investigation team silently opened the cargo box and distributed the fresh, golden-looking oranges inside to the hands of a group of people around them.

After people took it, they looked at the oranges in their hands curiously. It seemed difficult to imagine what this had to do with the power the man said on the radio, but in their minds there seemed to be a voice howling madly with hunger!

"Eat me! Eat me! Eat me!"

Finally, someone couldn't bear the sound that came directly into their mind, and like a greedy beast, he bit into the orange without even peeling it.

In an instant, the sweet juice filled the taste buds, and the whole person's mind froze as if a loud bell was ringing.

At this moment, he seemed to be following the vision of a stranger, hurriedly walking through this life in a completely unfamiliar world with a perspective like browsing a slideshow.

then

There is something.

It grew out of the body!

The people gathered behind the square watched the tempting oranges being eaten by others on a first-come-first-served basis. Feeling some subtle changes in their bodies, they couldn't help but pounce on them like a group of fanatics.

He raised his hands like a pilgrim and shouted:

"My mine!"

"I want it too, where's mine?"

"."

For a moment, the crowd below seemed to be going crazy, sniffing the intoxicating sweet scent in the air.

A few minutes ago, they were trying to evacuate towards the exit of the square, but now they were frantically rushing towards the sky tree in the direction of the wind.

The warm and magnetic voice sounded again on the Sky Tree broadcast. Kimura Hakutaku looked at the second batch of black cargo boxes being moved onto the sightseeing elevator and said softly:

"You don't need to worry. Everyone who comes to the square today, everyone in our country, has a chance to 're-choose'."

"Choose again? Do you really think so?"

Without warning, a strange voice came from the sky tree.

Suddenly, the smile at the corner of Kimura Hakuto's mouth froze slightly, and he saw two large sharp knives with ten thousand blade patterns appearing in the circle of light blue flowing light behind him.

One sword is carved with a lifelike Kurigara dragon, and the other sword is like a bird fluttering its wings and about to take flight. All of them exude a murderous and breathtaking aura!

After the double sword, the figure cannot be seen clearly.

The blue flames were already rushing like a mighty tide bursting through a dike, dispersing every inch of darkness around them, illuminating the huge Tianwang Corridor in the sky as brightly as a bright pearl in the middle of the night.

Cang Lei X Cang Yan!

Fire and Thunder God Slash!

There was a loud bang!

The only sightseeing elevator on the Sky Tree is accompanied by the second batch of fruits that have just been moved up.

Under this terrifying impact, a ball of terrifying light exploded, and countless glass fragments flew out.

Accompanied by the wave of flames.

In the blink of an eye, both the fruit and the elevator disappeared into the Tembang Corridor.

There was only a dark and scorched void left at the original elevator entrance, and a figure standing next to the void holding two swords and wearing a Shiro Yaksha mask.

Everyone in the Jaeger team was shocked!

They stared with dumbfounded faces at Higashinohara who suddenly burst out from behind the border gate.

He broke through Leader Kimura’s [Heaven and Earth]?

Behind him, Kimura Hakutaku lowered his head slightly, and the half-long hair on his forehead was gently brushed by the wave of flames.

Immediately, he slowly raised his head, a smile appeared on his face again and said to Higashinohara, "It seems that your injury is recovering much faster than I expected."

Higashinohara did not answer this question.

Through the glass curtain wall of the Tembang Corridor, he overlooked the enthusiastic crowd in the square below.

Silently feeling the faint realm surrounding the square like a canopy that can affect people's emotions and senses, a deep disgust flashed through his eyes.

"Is this what you call letting the people make their own choices?"

Faced with the question, Kimura Hakutaku smiled indifferently, shook his head and said, "My field has never been able to change people's inner thoughts. It can only guide and amplify their innermost true desires and give them the courage to try."

After finishing speaking, Kimura Hakutaku looked at the dark and burnt elevator next to Higashinohara. The smile that always hung on the corner of his mouth finally faded away little by little, and he said in a low voice:

"No matter what you think, there is one thing you can't deny. I and all the people who have followed me now and in the future, we are all people who 'do things', and we are 'doing things seriously' for this country and for the changes of this era.

It's you instead? How should I call you?"

"A clown wearing a mask?"

"A terrorist without ideals?"

"You think you have done something righteous, but who will thank you? Isn't it because you wear a mask to hide your head and tail because you know very well in your heart that you are evading all this and evading the responsibilities that come with your own abilities?"

in the night,

Drizzle was falling from high in the sky, and the camera of Shin-Tokyo Station clearly showed Higashinohara wearing a white-faced fanged Yaksha mask.

Many nervous people sitting in front of the TV recognized this as the very popular Jaeger "Shirayasha" in New Tokyo a week ago.

But at this moment, Higashinohara lowered his head, seemingly lost in some kind of thinking.

But soon, everyone in front of the TV noticed that the masked figure under the camera raised his head again and looked firmly at Hakutaku Kimura standing opposite him.

"No, I have never claimed to be a messenger of justice, nor do I consider myself a moralist, nor do I think that my own abilities have any responsibility for the future of Wano. I have said from the beginning that if what I do
