Chapter 146

These words finally made a look of terror appear on Princess Black Needle's face.

—————-

Although there were no other living witnesses at the scene in the underground bar, within just half a day, the Rise Mora Group had already quickly learned the shocking news:

— Everyone's idol, Lady Princess Black Needle, the cute loli monster, the rare gem of the group, had actually been defeated by Magical Girl Artemina in an underhanded way and was even captured and tortured by Master Leipu!

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Princess Black Needle, who was originally like a princess in an anime club, was actually captured and subjected to torture by Master Leipu?!

Ahhh!

The monsters and combatants all shed tears of blood!

Is this what NTR is? Is this the feeling of being cuckolded?!

— To have learned the news so quickly, it is evident that, just as Qi Xing said, there must be an insider from the evil forces within the righteous path of Tokyo.

But let's not talk about that for now.

Imagine a scene like this: A group of extremely low-life thugs and hoodlums gathered in a room chatting. What kind of conversation would they have?

"Damn, I'm out of money. Tomorrow, I'll go kill someone to get some cash."

"That woman downstairs is pretty good-looking. She looks like a slut. Let's go have some fun with her another day."

At this point, as a good person, if you wanted to "awaken" these people, if you wanted to "save" and "persuade" them, what kind of result would you get?

Talk to them about morality? For example, telling them that raping women is wrong and an immoral act—guess how they would answer you?

"Morality is bullshit. Can it get me a takeout meal today?"

"This woman looks like a bitch. Does a bitch have morality? Is a bitch worth sympathizing with? Can't we brothers just have some fun?"

"Though we brothers kill, we don't kill good people. We kill those hypocrites who rely on their money, look down on others, and are just wearing human skin."

"I have standards when I kill. Those people were already social tumors; they had to be removed. Do you really think they were innocent good people?"

"How do we prevent shameless, hypocritical 'reasonable centrists' from interfering with us raping women?"

"Not raping a woman when you have the chance is not the way of a gentleman."

"Not raping people is the value system of the impotent."

The biggest problem with these people is that—although they are foul, their internal logic is surprisingly self-consistent.

Even within a very foul group, their language, viewpoints, and values can all be self-consistent.

And an even more disgusting fact is—even among such groups, due to some kind of internal logical consistency, they can still be friendly and kind to each other.

Although they commit all kinds of evil, are extremely base and dirty, living like rats and cockroaches in the sewer, they can actually maintain brotherly love among themselves, reflecting true feelings and humanity.

For example, when they see their brother killed by a heroic vigilante while raping a woman, they recall the good times they had drinking together in the past and are suddenly filled with tears.

At this moment, they themselves don't seem so much like inhuman beasts anymore.

Therefore, while mourning the capture of Princess Black Needle, and thinking about how the Magical Girl was so underhanded, many monsters within the Rise Mora Group immediately decided to take revenge.

Ha!

Master Leipu is too terrifying, but isn't it simple to take revenge on a Magical Girl?

Doxing a Magical Girl isn't hard!

It's easy for them to find out where Artemina's house is. They can also get sniper rifles and explosives.

"Hehe, as long as we bury twenty or thirty kilograms of C4 explosives at her school, we can easily blow the Magical Girl into minced meat. How simple!"

Even if she is vigilant and can't be killed by a sneak attack, however—

"Hmph, there are always times when the Magical Girl isn't home."

"While she's at school, we'll kidnap her parents, interrogate and torture them separately, record the whole process, and then mail every piece of flesh and limb along with the video back to her—"

"By then, making her cry and break down, admitting she is a failed Magical Girl, that will be truly satisfying."

They did it!

The next morning, after confirming that Tsukimiya Ran had already gone to school, three monsters with a small squad of combatants excitedly broke into the Tsukimiya home, preparing to kidnap her parents and carry out their revenge.

— As a result, they didn't even cross the threshold before falling into a barrier trap set by the Onmyoryo.

All paths inside and outside the house had been deployed by Official Exorcists the night before. The team leader, Onmyoji Gojo Masamichi, defeated this group of death-seeking monsters on the spot and captured them all!

He finally had a rare victory.

But this was only the beginning.

Just a few hours later—that afternoon, on the streets of Tokyo, a total of one hundred police corpses were hung high on the pedestrian bridges in Shibuya and Shinjuku.

Black ropes were wrapped around their necks, their faces were smeared with scarlet paint, and blood dripped down with the wind, causing panic and turmoil in the city.

Regardless of whether they were informed or righteous, they became the first round of sacrifices for the dark forces of Tokyo to retaliate against the righteous path.

This was the response of the evil path, a formal declaration of war.

The capital of Japan had lost the cover of its "facade of peace."

The horn of the all-out war between the righteous and evil forces in Tokyo was blown loudly under the shadow of these one hundred corpses.

Volume 4: Evil Magic City Tokyo: 139: Tokyo Explosion

The fifth day of Qi Xing's arrival in Tokyo.

The highest official of the Japanese police—the Superintendent General of the Metropolitan Police Department, Hayato Sakoda, died at home.

According to the police's public statement, when he died, his mouth was stuffed with pig's trotters, and the cause of death was "choking to death because he ate the pig's trotters too fast."

But another version circulated among the media: Superintendent General Sakoda's body was in an extremely miserable and shocking state, so much so that the relevant details were completely sealed, and the authorities refused to release more information.

In short, the cause of death was controversial.

The Superintendent General, that is, the head of the Japanese police, the boss of the police world.

The Rise Mora Group only took a day and a half to kill his entire family.

And this was only the beginning.

In these short two days, it wasn't just the Superintendent General—several high-level figures with significant influence in Japan's political and economic circles were subjected to supernatural attacks that could not be made public.

Fortunately—the head of the Onmyoryo, the Exorcist Demon Fox Tsuchimikado Hyougen, personally led a team to stop the monster group's assassination attempt on the Prime Minister.

On the other hand, a more dangerous scene occurred at the site of the attack on the Governor of Tokyo:

A monster squad openly launched an attack on the street, defeating the guards from the Public Security Secret Bureau on the scene. Just as the Governor's life hung by a thread—

— It so happened that the new generation young master of the righteous Lionheart Society, the young lady Jingo Rin, was passing by with the executioner knights of the society. Her divine power burned all the monster villains to ashes, rescuing the Governor from danger.

Consequently, the Japanese government immediately launched an even more vicious and almost unprecedentedly fierce retaliation against the Rise Mora Group.

You must know that most of the monster members of the Rise Mora Group are not actually "full-time criminals."

Many monsters are very shrewd; many still live normal lives during the day: some are students, some work in companies, and some are even internet streamers.

At night, they put on tight suits and masks, transforming into monsters to commit evil everywhere, plundering wealth, plundering bodies, satisfying their desires, and enjoying that pleasure of "doing whatever one wants in the darkness."

But as the Public Security Secret Bureau began a thorough investigation, this good life of having a dual identity could no longer continue.

Can a transformed monster hide their true identity? Yes. But can't the Public Security Secret Bureau investigate and doxx them?

Once their identity is discovered, they are immediately listed as members of an anti-social violent group, all their accounts and assets are frozen, carriers are even forced to deactivate their phone numbers, and police teams are immediately dispatched to the located position to arrest them.

The police of the Public Security Secret Bureau certainly have many people with supernatural abilities among them. Many low-to-mid-level monsters didn't even have time to react before being subdued and arrested at home or at work.

Some powerful monsters cannot be caught just by the mediocre supernatural abilities of the Public Security Secret Bureau and are difficult to capture for the time being.

But if they expose their identity or use their abilities in the workplace or school—their "daily life" will instantly collapse, they will suffer complete social death, and they will never be able to return to their former dual life.

Consequently, those monsters with no way out simply abandoned their "daily life" and threw themselves completely into a more vicious and desperate path of revenge.

The escalating "mutual retaliation" began to break out in full force from this group of people.

After all, it is the information age now; not only do the authorities have the ability to investigate, but it is also too easy for civilians to doxx people.

Many righteous heroes, including Official Exorcists, were all doxxed by monsters. Either they were ambushed in their daily lives, or their family and friends were kidnapped.

— Fortunately, regarding Onmyodo, although Qi Xing had complained that they were half-baked practitioners, the lineage of divination was complete and highly practical.

When monsters kidnapped the families of Exorcists, it was equivalent to adding a tracking beacon to themselves. The Onmyoryo immediately divined it and dispatched an elite squad with thunderous momentum to raid the hostage detention point—however, although most hostages were saved, a small number of hostages were still harmed in the battle.

Many of the rescued righteous families had already been broken into having Ahegao faces, or had been tragically modified, becoming excited bodies that would climax at a touch and lose control.

Such victims are quite common in this erotic world. There is already a standardized treatment process for psychological trauma. Through hypnosis, directed brainwashing, and memory erasure, most of the people involved will "forget" the tragic things they encountered.

… But whether this counts as "safe and sound" is a matter of opinion.

Magical Girl Artemina's parents are just ordinary people.

Her father runs a Western-style restaurant and is a serious and dedicated chef and manager; her mother works as a clerk in the shop. The two of them work diligently, living an ordinary and warm life day after day.

They have no ability to resist monster attacks.

Artemina herself, although she absolutely has the ability to block the attacks of monster teams, it is ultimately too much for her to protect her parents and family alone—especially when facing organized, plotted, and elusive evil attacks.

So Artemina… or rather, Tsukimiya Ran, in this situation, proactively did something quite brave.

— She confessed the Truth to her parents. She told them that she was Magical Girl Artemina.

That heroine who often appeared in rumors, "protecting the safety of citizens" and "repelling monster chaos," was their daughter.

She also personally arranged contact with the Public Security Secret Bureau, having the authorities come forward to negotiate with her parents, and pleaded with them to temporarily close their business and be arranged for concealment and protection by the government until this righteous-evil war in Tokyo ended.

They originally thought she was their cheerful, studious, and best daughter in the world, but it turned out that in secret, she was a Magical Girl who wore shiny, fluffy clothes, fought against monsters, and had narrowly escaped death countless times.

Suddenly knowing that their daughter, who had just turned sixteen, was actually like this in private, must have been a huge shock to ordinary parents.

But in this world, there really are Magical Girl parents as wonderful as those in Sunday morning children's shows.

"Anyway, we don't necessarily have to earn this little money right now." Tsukimiya's father said very optimistically, "If the shop is closed for now, let it be. Anyway, it will be fine to reopen later. Ran, go ahead and do what you need to do with peace of mind."

Her mother also nodded: "But, Ran, don't carry too much on your own. If you don't want to fight, just give it up."

Although they were inevitably anxious in their hearts, Tsukimiya Ran's parents absolutely supported their daughter's decision and firmly cooperated with the arrangements of the Public Security Secret Bureau. The restaurant was temporarily closed, and the two were secretly transferred to Kyoto, protected by special personnel in a safe house at the Onmyoryo headquarters. Ensuring that monster forces could not get close.

That's great.

However, even with the power of the Public Security Secret Bureau and the government, it is impossible (and they are not willing) to protect every one of Tsukimiya Ran's friends.

And not every civilian hero has Artemina's courage.

Regarding this all-out, life-or-death war between righteous and evil, many civilian transforming heroes also felt fear and wanted to quit. They also chose to accept the protection of the Public Security Secret Bureau, hide with their families using fake identities, and leave Tokyo.

At the same time, many executive-level monsters were also successively dragged out. Their true identities were uncovered one after another by the Secret Bureau and the Onmyoryo, and then Master Leipu personally came to their door to "check the water meter." After being captured, they were subjected to torture, and they were wiped out along with the monsters under their command.

… In the past, the monster executives of the Mora Group all acted independently, and it was difficult to catch them all in one net. But now, because of the all-out war started by Master Leipu, in order to respond, the monster executives have instead started to actively exchange information and form connections.
