Congratulations on Your Arrest

  Chapter 245 Betrayer's Madness

On this day, March 10, 1122 in the Tianyuan calendar, the official live broadcast execution that caused great controversy outside the Sakurada Gate in New Tokyo, Wano Country, did not attract much attention, and was soon Another major event was replaced—that is, the Judgment Division announced its withdrawal from Wano Country.

  For a while, media and journalists from all walks of life poured in one after another.

  Every section of traditional newspapers and electronic publications is filled with various analyzes of the current situation, reflections on the past, and predictions for the future of Wano Country.

The public has always lacked the ability to analyze and think independently. When this information flooded everyone in less than half a day, under the tide, everyone's heart began to be full of hope for the future. anxiety.

  As for those journalists who sell anxiety and politicians who speak out, they are really concerned about the country and the people, or they want to take the opportunity to get some traffic, this is a matter of opinion.

   Just when people were panicking outside,

  The tall figure, the grass-roots Prime Minister Higashimori Kawatani stood up and announced that he would give a public televised speech in his office.

  Edogawa-ku, Aragaki Apartment.

  On the tatami in the middle of the living room, Xia Li glanced at the TV, then at Higashinohara who lowered his eyes slightly, the two furry ears on his head shook, and gently raised his hand to poke Higashinohara.

"What's wrong?"

   Higashinohara slowly raised his head.

   "Dongye, are you angry?" Xia Li suddenly asked.

Higashinohara was stunned for a moment. Just now he saw those innocent people outside the Sakurada Gate who were supposed to be acquitted today and embraced their families again. rolling.

  While he was angry, he also felt a little guilty.

Because Higashinohara knew that if he hadn’t broken into the Judiciary’s mansion last night and let go of those on the execution list on the second and third floors of the dungeon, those innocent people on the first floor of the dungeon would not have been replaced and brutally murdered .

   It's just that this self-blame is only for a moment.

   Higashinohara soon realized.

  When he blames himself at this time, he is actually punishing himself with the crimes committed by others.

  If he falls into this kind of self-blame, then if one day, the Judgment Division hostages all innocent ordinary people in Wano Country and publicly threatens him to turn himself in, otherwise he will kill those innocent people.

   How should Higashinohara choose?

   This hypothesis turned in his mind for half a circle, and Higashinohara immediately got the answer.

  In this world, truth exists only on sharp knives.

  Of course Higashinohara will not turn himself in or judge himself, nor will he fall into endless moral self-blame.

  He will only continue to work hard to become stronger, so strong that one day he will be able to take those who kill innocent people indiscriminately, from the mastermind to the participant to the executor.

   One counts as one, and if they are found out, they will all be killed. No one will be condoned, and no one will be forgiven.

   This is his answer.

  The scene outside the Sakurada Gate today is the same.

  Having figured this out, Higashinohara's expression was a little relieved.

  At this moment, Miri Nishimaru, who was helping Kolotia with the cooking, also moved over with small steps.

  Witnessing the scene outside the Sakurada Gate, her delicate little face was a little pale, and she said in a very frightened tone, "Thank you big brother, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid my aunt would have..."

   "It's okay, it's okay." Higashinohara rubbed her little head with a smile on his face.

  On the TV, the screen of the NHK news channel also cut from outside the Sakurada Gate to the Prime Minister Higashimori Kawatani who is about to deliver an office speech.

  Dongsen Hegu stayed up all night worrying and worried. The news shooting of NHK was not deliberately lit, which made the face of the Prime Minister look extremely tired and haggard.

  As soon as his sharp face appeared in front of the camera, his tired expression caused a lot of discussion among the people.

It's just the calm and firm expression revealed by Dongsen Hegu's exhaustion, which calmed down countless faces in Wano Country who were caught in arguments and worries, and they couldn't help staring at the most friendly person in the history of Wano Country Prime Minister of the Cabinet.

  He is "Our Prime Minister".

At this time, Dongsen Hegu, who appeared under the camera of the TV speech, did not give a speech immediately. Instead, he leaned forward slightly towards the camera, with his hands spread flat on the desk, and a trace of pain was forced out of his exhausted face. The friendly smile familiar to the public.

  However, seeing this tired smile, countless people in front of the TV and computer felt tense, feeling a little distressed for the prime minister who had just taken office but suffered drastic changes one after another.

  He was so tired and haggard, it seemed that only at this time did he relax a little bit, he must be carrying some unimaginable burden on his body.

  For a while, countless 40-50-year-old aunts all over the country wept tears. They were the most staunch supporters of Dongsen Hegu when he participated in the election as a congressman.

  It starts with appearance and ends with character, but in the end, he is still overwhelmed by the impeccable charm of the other party's friendly personality.

   At this time, Dong Sen Hegu spoke to the camera. Even though his face was extremely haggard and tired, his voice was still so firm and powerful.

"I believe that today, many people should be as shocked as I was when they saw the news. The Judgment Department of the World Government, which helps us maintain law and order management, had an astonishing vicious terrorist attack last night, and decided to evacuate Wano Country today! "

Dongsen Hegu paused, and his tone gradually became deeper, "Of course I haven't forgotten my promise in my inaugural speech to seek justice for those innocent lives who fell under the sky tree on the night of January 31! Apply for arbitration from the world government at this world conference

   But there are always some people! ! "

   Speaking of this, Dongsen Hegu's voice suddenly raised, and said in an extremely sonorous and angry tone:

   "There are always some people! They don't want to see us maintain our justice and fight for our fairness through legitimate channels!

  So they want to use violence and death to destroy all this, to destroy our peaceful and stable life. "

   "There are always some people who fantasize that they are the messengers of justice and willfully destroy order, but they don't know that they have already lost themselves in their own abilities and cut themselves off from the people."

   "And those people"

  Suddenly, Dongsen Hegu's tone was full of loneliness and depression.

   "I have admired those people and regarded them as like-minded friends! But after the incident of the Judgment Division last night, those people will be me! They will be the enemies of all the people of Wano Country!"

  Dongsenhegu said here, the exhaustion and haggardness on his face were swept away, and the sculptural face was full of emotion, which made people feel moved!

  His rhetorical televised public address, although the entire text does not identify who.

But in the minds of countless people in Wano Country, there is that person who occasionally wears a dark gold dragonfly mask, and occasionally wears a red and blue fox mask, who claims to be the "New Tokyo Disciplinary Committee" and exercises his interest. Insane justice.

  Speaking of which, many viewers in front of the TV have previously regarded him as a kind of "superhero" who helped justice.

But in today's sudden situation, coupled with Dongsen Hegu's incomparably generous TV public speech, the people who were originally a little anxious and at a loss suddenly seemed to have found a vent, cursing angrily in front of the TV up.

  In just a few minutes, countless cursing messages and posts appeared on the Internet.

  Aragaki Apartment, in front of the TV.

  Higashi Nohara stared at the resolute and upright face on the TV screen, and couldn't help frowning slightly, suddenly thinking of many, many things in his mind.

He remembered that Miri Nishimaru once called him a "good uncle"; he remembered that Miri Nishimaru regretted that the other party had not been able to come on stage earlier, otherwise her adoptive father Tokugawa Kuritora might not be framed so easily; he also remembered I once comforted Miri Nishimaru, "That is our prime minister, everything will get better and better".

   may seem.

   Nothing has changed.

   Higashinohara sighed softly from the bottom of his heart.

  At this moment, he suddenly noticed that Xia Li, who was sitting cross-legged on the tatami, was trembling slightly, with her hands pressed tightly underneath her, looking angry.

   Higashinohara couldn't help but startled, and smiled wryly in his heart.

  With Xia Li's upright character as a tiger girl, I'm afraid she should already be yelling at herself right now?

   "Traitor!"

   Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xia Li suddenly raised her arm, pointed at the upright and tough face of Dongsen River Valley and said.

   Traitor?

   Higashinohara's first reaction was to talk about himself.

   But looking at Xia Li's finger that would have been on Dongsen Hegu's nose if it weren't for the TV screen, she couldn't help being surprised.

"why."

  The doubts in his heart have not been asked yet.

  Xia Li turned her head, and said with righteous indignation on her face, "A friend when you need it, and an enemy when you don't need it. Such a guy is the most abominable in our village. Betrayal! This is naked betrayal!"

   Is it betrayal?

  Looking at the angry Xia Li, Dongye's depressed mood suddenly improved a lot, and a smile appeared on his face.

  Although many of his actions during this period of time were just fulfilling his wishes while completing tasks to improve his strength, he did not regard him as a chivalrous and unparalleled person.

  But not to be happy with things and not to be sad with oneself is a state that few people can reach.

  Even if Higashinohara doesn’t ask for gratitude for his actions, he never wants to be poked in the back and cursed endlessly for doing the right thing.

   Just for a moment, he really began to doubt whether what he did had ever been lost.

  But hearing Xia Li's words at this time, Higashinohara suddenly woke up.

  From the beginning until now, his behavior has never been overkill, or adding to the situation when someone is already in charge.

  The people he beheaded and killed were all evildoers who were able to walk under the bright universe and no one paid attention to them.

  Yes, others think it has always been like this, so should he just stand by and watch?

  Thinking of this, Higashinohara's eyes narrowed slightly.

  Even Xia Li can understand the truth. He doesn't believe that there will be so many fools who are easy to fool in the land of peace.

  In the final analysis, but he is just a target that was brought out to vent in this panic and anxiety incident today.

  The person who personally made him look like that "target" was the one on the TV who he once called "our Prime Minister's Dongsen River Valley".

   Higashinohara looked at Xia Li who said she was waiting for her opinion, and couldn't help but nodded slightly:

   "Yeah. He betrayed"

  Go to the Kyoto metropolitan area.

  The eastern suburbs of Shangjing is an inaccessible wetland reserve. In the middle of the reserve is a beautiful Moon Lake, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds in the center of the lake.

  Dense and long grass grows by the lake, where the grass and the lake intersect, quietly sits a resort manor that looks old.

  Quietly, the door of the manor was opened, and a black limousine without a license plate slowly drove in. The cumbersome identity verification in the past was not hindered by any authority in front of this black car.

  When entering the door, the window of the back seat of the black car was opened, revealing the face of an old man with a cigar in his mouth. The most striking thing was his green vertical pupils.

He turned his gaze away from the row of white birds flying up and down on the sandy ground by the Moon Lake not far away, felt the abundant moist breath of the wetland, took a deep breath, and turned his head to face him. The old man in the car with him said:

   "That old guy from Rhine's family really knows how to choose a place. I'm afraid no young people are willing to come here for many years."

  Although the old man sitting next to the old man with vertical pupils looks very old and looks like he may be dying at any time, there still seems to be a bit of piercing sharp vision in the occasionally slightly raised eyelids.

   After closing his eyes again, he said lightly, "One generation is not as good as one generation. I didn't expect that at this age, something happened to the juniors, and we would invite us old guys out."

   "Yes." The old man with green vertical pupils also nodded knowingly.

Of the two people in the car, the former is Walker Lott, the elder of the Nine Heavenly Serpent Clan. Although he has no direct blood relationship with the Fifth Judgment Adeline, strictly speaking, he can be regarded as Adeline of the Heavenly Serpent Clan. Grandparents.

  The latter, Vincent Leon, is similar, except that he was born in the Skyhawk tribe, and he can be regarded as the direct relative of the grandfather of the Fifth Judgment, Crow Sword.

   The two old men are very clear.

  Although their status is not high among the Nine Families, their seniority is there, and their strength should not be underestimated. If they decide to stay in the clan for the elderly, no one can invite them to take action.

   But that is just lingering, waiting for the end of Shouyuan, who has not been a few years, to reach the end of death.

   No one wants to die.

  The gods above the sky don't even want it.

   In the final analysis, I was still upset.

  All of this is because of the news from Wano Country that there is a blue third-level [border] gate.

  According to the records in some secret files of the Nine Great Families and the Judgment Division, it means that they have once again seen the opportunity to break through the current level shackles and the bottleneck of longevity.

  After entering the door, the owner of this lakeside manor is the old man named Abraham Rhine from the Tianlong family. He has already been wearing a black and elegant custom-made clothes and is waiting in front of the door for a long time.

   "You guys are late."

   "Someone contacted us on the road and watched a good show by the way."

   "Oh? Is it the host of the Wano country we are going to?"

   "That's right, hehe, that's an interesting human being. He knows very well that launching a battle at any time is the best choice to gather public opinion and centripetal force, even if it's just a war of public opinion."

   "That's really interesting. This time he offered to cooperate with us. I hope we can have a more pleasant cooperation."

  “.”

  After getting out of the car, the three old men with high status in Shangjing walked into the manor chatting with their hands behind their backs, and walked towards the lakeside terrace at the back.

  Although this lakeside manor is old, it is extremely clean. Along the way, when and where the three old people need it, there will always be one or two extremely respectful servants.

   When the three old men took a leisurely walk and reached the lakeside terrace of the manor, the air suddenly became extraordinarily refreshing and pleasant.

  On a luxurious stone table on the terrace, the old man Abraham of the Tianlong tribe sat in the middle, looked at the old people on both sides with a soft smile and said:

   "It seems that both of you have decided to leave for Wano Country like me. The special plane is ready, and we can leave at any time in the afternoon."

   Speaking of this, he saw that the two were still unmoved, couldn't help being afraid, clapped his hands and said with a smile:

   "Okay, then our weekly "Holy Communion" will be brought forward to today. This time, the "farm" of the manor has some very good ingredients. Please enjoy it."

  Hearing the words of Abraham, the old man of the Tianlong tribe, the eyes of Walker of the Tianlong tribe and Vincent of the Skyhawk tribe also lit up instantly.

   Once a week at this lakeside manor, there is a "holy sacrament" that is enough to nourish the body and prolong life.

  For old guys like them who are dying, it is definitely a supreme delicacy that is worth reminiscing in the next few days.
