"People should definitely not be trusted!" Dong E Lai shook his head. "With the Arena Battle right in front of us, the more strength we have, the more assurance we gain. This is no longer a time for discussing right and wrong."
In times of national crisis, our former principal used to say that when war breaks out, there are no divisions of north or south, and no distinctions of old or young.
"Enough!" The Political Department Official said impatiently. "I didn't come here to listen to your lecture. You're still too amateurish compared to me!"
That's true; who can outtalk you political types? Dong E Lai shrank his neck and muttered under his breath.
"Hmm?" The Political Department Official snorted lightly.
The situation is rapidly escalating. Those Easterners are teaming up with the Eagles, monkeys, Filipino maids, Siam, Vietnam, and Tianzhu to pressure us. What can I do? If we don't provide an explanation for this matter, they won't let it go easily! The Political Department Official also looked troubled.
Indeed, China has made significant progress, but facing so many countries leaves us somewhat helpless.
"An explanation?" Dong E Lai said with a half-smile. "The best I can offer is to conduct a superficial investigation, then pull a death row inmate from prison, make him look like the person in the video, and just gloss over it!"
He chuckled.
"If it were that simple," the Political Department Official replied, "what they mean is that they want a living person handed over for them to deal with!"
"A living person?" Dong E Lai sneered. "Liu, don’t blame me for not warning you—our country has no habit of bowing down to others. Handing someone over? That’s out of the question! I don’t want to be branded a traitor!"
"What about your investigation team? How are they doing?" The Political Department Official frowned.
"I haven't heard back from them yet," Dong E Lai said as he lit a cigarette, his expression somewhat pale.
In the Government Building, Execution Department Chief Chen Mo looked at the Yin-Yang Master Qingshan before him, who had been tortured to death, his brow furrowed deeply.
Such brutal methods.
Skinning, dismemberment, immersion—Ren Zhi.
Why do these methods seem so familiar?
"Minister Chen, the investigation is complete. The liquid in the jar is nothing unusual; it's just some common seasonings. My mother often uses them when she makes braised pig's head," the investigator said, his expression somewhat peculiar.
"I see!" Chen Mo took a deep breath.
"To be honest, the scent of star anise does mask quite a bit of the stench of decay."
"Are there no survivors?" Chen Mo inquired.
"Minister Chen, all the personnel who worked overtime last night were killed. Their bodies were taken away by the assailants, leaving only the corpses of two security guards at the entrance."
"It seems they intentionally left those behind!"
"From our analysis, this is a method used by ninjas from Eastern Japan, somewhat reminiscent of the Hei Chi style!" the investigator added, sounding bored. "There's nothing much to investigate; these Easterners are definitely retaliating. They dare to infiltrate our Huaxia Territory and slaughter government personnel on a large scale. They truly deserve to die!"
"I know they deserve it!" Chen Mo glanced at the unblinking corpse of the Onmyoji Head before him.
He couldn't help but chuckle in disbelief. "But this guy was too careless, wasn't he? Why leave behind evidence?"
"Wait, Minister Chen! Look at the back of the corpse's head!"
The investigator seemed to have discovered something. He peeled off a blood-stained talisman from the back of the Onmyoji's head.
He was somewhat surprised. "This is a Zhenhun Fu; it should contain information left for us by the assailants. I just wonder if it's similar to an Easterners' video Light Screen!"
Chen Mo took the talisman from the investigator's hand and extended his palm, channeling a jade-white magical energy into it gently.
"This is to prevent any self-destruction sequence set within the talisman."
Buzz!
The talisman emitted a burst of Light Screen, revealing evidence of Easterners beginning their massacre at the Security Bureau. The footage showed samurais dismembering Mayor Chen and Ninpuu Mago continuously severing the heads of staff members.
All these clips were seamlessly connected within the recording.
"The Honoji Technique... It seems that not only the Abe Family employs it."
