Daybreak Greets You All
The tourists on the Dotonbori Main Street were startled by the gunshots and scattered like flocks of birds on branches at dusk.
Only the dazzling neon lights on the streets remain unchanged.
Hundreds of members of the Mysterious Affairs Department surrounded the place, and three Chosen One simultaneously sealed it off, creating an oppressive atmosphere like an iron fortress.
However, despite their elaborate mobilization, they killed the wrong people.
No one knows exactly when the hunting plan went wrong.
Qing Chen mingled with the tourists and ran outwards, intending to escape this tight blockade.
In fact, when Yang Yang told Qing Chen that the Kamishiro Yunluo in Hokkaido was not real, Qing Chen began to ponder all the clues.
Time seemed to rewind to the moment he played chess with Li Shutong...
The fierce soldiers crossing the river and the cannons coming straight at them were all illusions.
On the chessboard.
Only when the battle reaches its final moment will we know who the pawn was sacrificed, who the victorious general is, and who the mastermind is.
The Mysterious Affairs Department's deployment of additional personnel to stake out the area was a ruse. Their creation of a sense of crisis stemmed from their suspicion that Qing Chen was diverting attention from Jingūji Maki. They were using Jingūji Maki's mother as leverage to force him to act quickly.
The security personnel at the Osaka City Hall were sacrificed, simply to create an opportunity to mark him.
The person who marked him did not intend to do it himself, so no Chosen One appeared at that time.
The reason he only took action now is because someone wanted to use him as a tool to kill someone the other party couldn't kill with their own hands.
Qing Chen laughed among the tourists.
After he figured all this out, he kept wondering whether he should become that knife.
The Hu Corporation Intelligence Agency has a record of the ATS-088 Shikigami Cloud Mirror, which can observe Qing Chen's corpse for 10 seconds every four hours using the corpse of someone he killed.
The observation range is within a two-meter diameter.
After recalling this thing, Qing Chen had been waiting.
After discovering that Zard had tampered with his body, he never cleaned it up, because he wanted to drag Zard into the mess and make him share the blame.
It turns out that Zard, despite his seemingly carefree attitude, was actually very observant. Once the other person realized that the person they were talking to was just a puppet, they quickly ran away...
The reason why the people of Kamishiro Yunwu went to the wrong place was because they saw the logo of the yakiniku restaurant in the Cloud Mirror.
A logo that Qing Chen wanted them to see.
In fact, Takahashi Yukichi and Qing Chen were always at the Dotonbori grilled beef tongue restaurant, just in two shops that were more than 30 meters apart.
The reason why Kamishiro Kongxu and the others mistook the shop was simply because Qing Chen had smuggled bowls and chopsticks with a logo from another shop.
Is there a problem with him using bowls and chopsticks with the "Wafu Yakiniku Restaurant" logo at "Yiting Yakiniku Restaurant"?
No problem.
No one would care about the differences in the tables between the two yakiniku restaurants, and the Mysterious Affairs Department members who went into the yakiniku restaurants to check the situation had no chance to see the details in the Cloud Mirror with their own eyes.
No one noticed the transparent thread running through the roof.
Qing Chen's method for dealing with this strange shikigami was incredibly simple: just a pair of bowls and chopsticks.
People only believe what they want to see.
The simpler it is, the more effective it is.
Just then, Qing Chen ran out of the cordon with the crowd of tourists. He had already slipped through two cordons, and there were only a dozen or so members of the Mysterious Affairs Department ahead of him.
Suddenly, Kamishiro Yunwu spoke menacingly into the communication channel, "Seal off this street! The target must still be on this street; he can't be too far away!"
"Sir, we can't be sure what he looks like right now; he can disguise himself."
Kamishiro Yunwu voice, "Use the communications vehicle to shut down all surveillance and network signals. Kill everyone present without exception. Find Crimson Leaf Hunt!"
Qing Chen heard the sounds coming from those people's earpieces. He never expected that the Chosen One the Gods would be so crazy for the sake of Crimson Leaf Hunt.
There are at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, tourists inside this cordon.
He ran through the crowd, watching as members of the Mysterious Affairs Department had already released the safety on their guns.
Qing Chen pursed his lips. What's wrong with being a knife once?
He decided to be the killing knife.
If the people of the Age of Gods come to us, there's nothing we can't kill.
Most importantly, the person who wanted to use someone else to do the dirty work probably didn't know how sharp the knife was, nor did they know that doing so would hurt themselves.
Qing Chen took out a small bottle from his pocket, dipped his thumb in a drop of blood from the bottle, and smeared it on his wrist.
Members of the Mysterious Affairs Department had already raised their guns, ready to fire.
The next moment, just as Qing Chen was about to encounter the last layer of the blockade, he flipped a playing card between his index and middle fingers and, with a flick of his arm, slashed it across the neck of a Mysterious Affairs Department member.
The instant the two passed each other, a jet of blood gushed from the neck of the Mysterious Affairs Department member.
Two loud booms.
Snipers at points A and B fired simultaneously, but Qing Chen moved with ghostly speed among the dozen or so members of the Mysterious Affairs Department, making it impossible for bullets to lock onto him.
When it comes to using sniper rifles, Qing Chen is the god of all snipers. He knows the firing frequency of a sniper's breath, he knows the effect of a sniper's heartbeat, and he knows how to induce a sniper to make a wrong aim.
Thus, amidst the sniper fire, Qing Chen was like a shadow in the crowd, visible yet untouchable.
Not only could snipers not lock onto him, but even when more than a dozen members of the Mysterious Affairs Department raised their guns, they couldn't keep up with his movements.
This is B-Class, the level that allows you to evade the trajectory of firearms!
A physique that has gradually transcended the human realm supports a powerful fighting will!
He wielded the light playing cards in his hand with the force of a knife!
Meanwhile, Kamishiro Yunwu and his team were rushing towards them. As he ran, he shouted into the comms, "Are those two snipers useless? Why haven't they taken him down yet?!"
But by then, the sniper had run out of bullets and was changing magazines.
It was during the magazine change that a sniper suddenly noticed the killer quickening his pace.
It was as if the enemy had calculated their weapons, the amount of ammunition they carried, and their firing rate, and then decided when they could fight without restraint.
Elite snipers can change magazines in about three seconds.
But in those three seconds, the last line of defense of the Mysterious Affairs Department was torn apart.
The sniper watched helplessly as he pulled back the bolt.
Before a corpse fell, Qing Chen deftly removed the earpiece from the victim's ear, and as he walked out of the torn cordon, he said with a smile, "Bai Zhou greets everyone."
Daytime!
This is the first time Qing Chen has acknowledged the name "Daylight" within the island nation.
In fact, Zard's appearance has already pointed all the blame at Bai Zhou.
Everyone is guessing that the killer is the boss from Daylight.
So there's no need for you to keep guessing; today's daylight has already secured its place in this world.
Today is better than yesterday, and tomorrow will be better than today.
The killing tonight has only just begun.
There will be another chapter at 11 PM.
