Can ordinary people who acquire superpowers really live peaceful lives?
The GPRI Kawasaki Base and the politicians, though viewing things from different perspectives, almost simultaneously considered this question.
Should they sit by and let three organizations divide up these hundreds of superhumans, potentially causing more chaos in the future?
Or should they simply “sacrifice” these superhumans altogether?
At first, the politicians struggled with how to manage them, but the GPRI Hunters had already decisively begun to act.
Because they had the same thought, when the incident was first reported, the politicians—more precisely, the Cabinet—chose to turn a blind eye to GPRI’s actions.
The people at Kawasaki Base said the same thing as Kuninori Tsuruoka.
They would sacrifice the few for the many.
Was this the creed of GPRI?
However, Kuninori Tsuruoka acted out of personal motives, making it seem like he was just someone passing by with a plunger.
Who could guarantee that the so-called “helpless action” spoken by this GPRI Hunter was truly helpless, and not tainted by unknown personal motives?
Jiang Jian Yue suspected there was.
Even setting aside whether they could carry it out, even if they succeeded, these GPRI folks with Freemason Complex would definitely retreat back into the shadows.
The era of GPRI was already over, you old geezers.
Little notebook, temporarily add ten points to GPRI—for revealing more information—and then deduct thirty, total negative one hundred and twenty.
Cabinet, minus ten points, useless.
Tokushu Jishou Taiou Honbu, plus ten points—weak, but coordinated with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to protect most of the superhuman group.
Yuki Asahi, plus one hundred faint.
Jiang Jian Yue killed Takeyama in self-defense, and went out to save people to copy abilities.
Not out of a sense of justice.
As a “mature” adult, speaking selfishly, the life and death of this batch of superhumans in the Superpower Awakening Incident didn’t matter much to her.
The fact that Yuki Asahi could stand up truly impressed her.
She didn’t need to consider whether she was being kindhearted, or whether she was sabotaging “GPRI’s plan for the greater good,” nor did she intend to judge their morality.
Her only reason for hating GPRI was that they put her name on the list!
“If I refuse?”
“……Why?”
Can Wolf’s lips twitched.
He thought he’d made himself clear enough.
“Are you going to sit back and watch the country fall into even greater chaos?”
Jiang Jian Yue shook her head and looked down to type.
“My point is, I don’t intend to stand on the ‘justice’ side as defined by you.”
“You GPRI, at least the ones I’ve met so far, are no different from those three maggots.”
Blood-red eyes flashed coldly.
Can Wolf, however, let out a breath and shrugged indifferently.
“It’s fine if you think GPRI are villains. As long as you can stop them, that’s enough.”
What a steadfast belief.
Was his brain stamped with ideological steel?
***
Can Wolf didn’t leave.
To be precise, when he stepped into Jiang Jian’s apartment, he was prepared to die.
So he obediently surrendered and let Jiang Jian Yue handle him.
This time, Jiang Jian Yue didn’t hand Can Wolf over to Tokushu Jishou Taiou Honbu like she did with Kuninori Tsuruoka, nor did she kill him—for now. She feared being counter-killed.
Instead, she locked him in the apartment basement, planning to move him elsewhere in a few days.
He might be useful later.
Jiang Jian Yue still had no ideas on how to deal with those three organizations.
So far, only The Light Extinguishers had appeared in the animation.
Their reason for triggering the shock core remained unknown.
As for the other two, she had no leads.
She shared intelligence about the three organizations with Morita Aoya, instructing him to warn the Japanese Government through the Dawn Resources Group.
How effective it would be, she had no idea.
Jiang Jian Yue returned to her Throne and found that time had jumped forward by seven days again—it wasn’t surprising. In fact, it felt like too short a leap.
After spectating in the group chat for a while, Jiang Jian Yue relaxed her tense nerves from the night, prepared some drinks and snacks, and opened the sixth episode of .
“Humans are cruel creatures, aren’t they?”
The first scene started with two people conversing by the sea.
The main perspective was from a young man with brown hair and black eyes.
The person beside him had only half their body visible, with gray long hair.
“Hmm?”
Jiang Jian Yue’s element detection kicked in.
She saw the bullet chat was full of people fighting for the front row, spamming numbers, or just adding a question mark to her name.
Iron meow, it’s clearly a man’s voice, and even if the hair color matches, why would you suspect me?
Hakimaku, you bastard!
“Humans are peaceful creatures.”
The brown-haired youth rested his head on his arm and answered with a soft laugh.
Apparently, he thought it was just idle chatter.
“Animals kill each other to fill their stomachs, but what about humans? Why do humans kill each other?”
“Because of emotions leading to murder, or wars over interests. It seems like that hasn’t changed from ancient times until now.”
The brown-haired youth yawned and didn’t comment on the other’s words, instead asking in return.
“So what are you trying to say? It’s finally a day off, so read the room.”
“If humans had no complicated emotions, or even no complex thoughts, would the world be a little more peaceful?”
The brown-haired youth’s sleepiness vanished.
He frowned and turned to the person beside him, speaking seriously.
“One of The Light Extinguishers’ theories? If the Monitoring Department hears you talking like this, you could be killed.”
[Emotional control, this part]
[Too extreme. It feels better to erase everything.]
[Is it time for another philosophical lecture?]
[Without emotions, humans would’ve been replaced long ago.]
[Brother Long is right.]
[Brother Long is wrong.]
[Who the hell is Brother Long?]
“I was just speaking casually.”
The person beside him replied perfunctorily, then asked.
“When you clean up those… rebellious targets, do you feel like you’re devouring someone else’s life?”
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
The brown-haired youth’s frown deepened.
“Do soldiers stop fighting just because they’re afraid of killing?”
[Isn’t that just dodging the question?]
[These two are GPRI, right?]
[Not dodging. The subtext here is clearly ‘yes.’ He thinks male Emi feels terrified about killing, so he answered with this line.]
[Isn’t that still dodging?]
What’s with this male Emi talk!
“Is this… really okay?”
The camera shifted to the person beside him, gradually revealing his entire appearance—originally, Jiang Jian Yue thought as long as the eye color showed, the bullet chat wouldn’t blame her.
But unexpectedly, this guy’s eyes were wrapped in cloth strips!
[Whoa, Firekeeper.]
[No, it’s Firekeeper (Male).]
[Spread the word, Jiang Jian Yue is actually a male crossdresser in disguise.]
[For more, see BVxxxxxx.]
[Wife, wife, why is there something hard in your pocket? I’m scared.]
[It’s a cucumber for darling’s health.]
[Envy the protagonist.]
[Envy the cucumber.]
[…Please don’t post your XP in the bullet chat.]
“Carry out your mission. Don’t overthink. Don’t hesitate.”
The next second, the scene shifted to a close-up of the brown-haired youth’s bloodstained face, pupils trembling as he looked at something beyond the camera, panting.
The background was a bedroom.
A woman lay on a rocking chair with her back to the brown-haired youth.
The chair was still swaying, blood dripping onto the floor, and the blanket covering her abdomen had slipped to her feet.
Her swollen belly indicated another life inside her.
[WTF]
[!]
[Classic]
[Is this even human?]
[Hilarious]
[Reported the bullet chat in front. Whether he’s human or not, you’re definitely not.]
