Chapter 287 The night dissipates
"We are all priests. I understand what everyone is thinking. It is our duty to protect the weak. But, how can we tolerate the perpetrators who do not know their mistakes? We have arranged for those young children to go Try to protect them as much as possible, maybe they will lose their mother or father, but in the future, under our education, I believe they will all become good children."
"Yes! Captain!" There was no longer any tolerance in the eyes of the priests. After all, what Akira Mo said in the command center still made sense. Children are innocent and share the same world. Not only the children of the curse are children, they may be equally hostile to the children of the curse, but all these values are undoubtedly given to them by adults. In the future, under the guidance of the temple, these children who have gone astray will have the opportunity to return to the right path.
The sun was rising, and the rays of morning glory penetrated through the thick clouds and shone on the dilapidated Tokyo, which was burning with flames everywhere. At this moment, Tokyo no longer had the prosperity it once had. Collapsed buildings and broken limbs could be seen everywhere. Think about what Tokyo experienced that night last night.
Occasionally, the cries of children could be heard, and the surviving people looked at the devastated city after the monsters retreated with deathly eyes. Yesterday's night was like hell, and it was still vivid in my mind.
At this moment, they used the lives of their loved ones to bear the consequences of their twisted prejudices. A painful sorrow echoed throughout the street. No one felt lucky at this moment, because they knew that the matter was not over yet. As long as the giant stone monument was not repaired for one day, yesterday The tragedy at night would still happen, and countless Tokyo citizens began to gather towards the city hall. They wanted to find the leader of Tokyo and ask her why.
Why did no one protect them when they faced the fear of death? Why were their relatives eaten alive by monsters? What was the Holy Emperor doing who kept saying he wanted to protect himself and others?
In this way, a thousand, ten thousand, fifty thousand people gathered densely under the only preserved Tokyo Building. No one spoke, they just looked at the guards at the door quietly.
It can be seen that this place also experienced a battle yesterday, but from the overall damage to the building, the defense force here is very strong, but even with such a strong defense force, no one came to help them last night.
The Holy Emperor and all the ministers were sitting silently in the conference room, including some powerful policemen who had escaped from the battlefield. After returning last night, they were asked to protect the safety of the Holy Emperor, so they did not go there yesterday. , has been guarding the Tokyo Building, dealing with the monsters outside.
What is different from the quiet and silent expressions of the ministers in the conference room at this moment is that each of them seems to have won the battle. Although there is no smile on their face, their bodies stand upright. After all, the main force defending the Holy Emperor yesterday is undeniable. They are not the Self-Defense Forces.
After a long silence in the conference room, Emperor Sheng looked with disappointment at the ministers who did not want to come out and take responsibility.
"No matter what, please come up with an explanation!" Sheng Tianzi said helplessly.
"Lord Holy Son of Heaven, how about we accept the terms of the Cursed Child!" At this time, a white-haired old man in a suit and ties with his hair slicked back said nervously.
The Holy Emperor glanced at the old man silently, and then glanced at the ministers present. "Is there anything else you can do?"
Without even speaking a word, Sheng Tianzi's eyes flashed slightly, "Since you don't object, let's do it. After a while, go out and inform the citizens outside to be prepared."
"Yes! Lord Holy Emperor." No one stood up to object at this moment. No matter what, the survival of Tokyo is the most important thing. Once Tokyo is destroyed, all their power will become nothing.
"Rentaro-kun, did Captain Aiju and the others tell you what to do?"
Rentaro, who was standing behind the Holy Emperor, hesitated slightly and pondered for a moment, "I guess as long as I kneel down on the street, they can see it!" Thinking of the satellite video he saw last time, Rentaro was not sure. replied.
After hearing Rentaro's words, the expressions of Emperor Sheng and the government officials in Tokyo froze. "Are you sure?" Emperor Sheng said in surprise. This means that the entire Tokyo is actually under the monitoring of a civil organization.
Rentaro nodded heavily.
"It's really scary!" Tendo Kikunochori, who was sitting in the first place on the right, said with a sullen face, "quietly took away all the cursed children in Tokyo, and now monitors the entire Tokyo. It seems that this Holy Light Office has a big plan. ah!"
"Okay, Chief Tendo, what can Tokyo do to them now? Let's not talk about anything else. Let's get through this crisis in Tokyo first!" The Holy Emperor stood up, "Everyone, it's time for us to Go out and apologize to the citizens of Tokyo for this incident." After saying this, the Holy Emperor walked towards the door.
Other ministers quickly stood up and followed.
After waiting outside the city hall building for a long time, no one came out. The atmosphere became more and more depressing, like a powder keg about to explode. Just when someone was about to burst into the city hall building with guns blazing. At that moment, a group of heavily armed troops were seen running out of the city government building quickly, holding guns at the door, forming a human wall, and pointing their guns at the crowd that was about to burst out.
Then Sheng Tianzi, wearing a pure white dress, appeared at the door with all the senior government officials in Tokyo. Emperor Sheng glanced at the Tokyo citizens with resentment in their eyes, and couldn't help but step back slightly.
At this moment, facing such calm Tokyo citizens, he lost the calmness he had in the past when faced with angry and roaring people, because the biting dog did not bark.
After clenching his fists and suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Sheng Tianzi calmed down the fear in his heart and stepped forward slightly. "Dear citizens, on behalf of the entire Tokyo government, I apologize to all citizens for what happened last night. The government is deeply sorry for the people who died!" After saying this, the Holy Emperor bowed deeply, and the government officials behind him also bowed.
"We don't want to apologize. We just want to ask where the Tokyo Self-Defense Forces and the police were yesterday." Suddenly a woman shouted angrily with tears in her eyes, "You know, yesterday I saw my husband being torn apart by monsters." Broken into pieces, you were there at that moment.”
Facing the woman's extremely resentful tone, Sheng Tianzi was speechless for a moment, "I...I..."
"Yesterday, all the Self-Defense Forces died in battle. All the soldiers were brave. The police also suffered countless casualties because they had no starters. All this was because the monsters were too strong." At this time, Rentaro stood up from behind the Holy Emperor. He came out and replied in a suppressed tone, "So everyone thinks that the soldiers guarding Tokyo are not fighting hard! If the police had starters, we would be defeated so quickly. What is the reason for all this? Lord Shengtianzi wants to promote the protection of the original intestine. The bill elevates the status of the Cursed Child, haven’t you all been refuting it!”
Faced with Rentaro's sharp retort, the woman's eyes dodge for a moment. A deep self-blame appeared in her heart.
At this moment, she felt extremely regretful. If she hadn't followed others' opinions and treated those children better, she wouldn't have experienced this nightmare again.
