Moreover, the Holy Emperor, in a cunning and treacherous manner, revealed that he knew the reason for the light screen appearing in the sky, and leaked a blurry image of the giant's video recording to political circles, thus using the giant as a secret trump card.
Of course, the corrupt officials who were purged will not surrender easily.
They will also resist.
The force that resisted was Hiruko Kagetane, who came knocking on their door.
Hiruko Kageyu brought them the gastritis virus.
This gastroenteritis virus became a weapon used by these corrupt politicians to consolidate their power and position.
Aren't they afraid of gastroenteritis?
But they are even more greedy and more afraid of having their power and status taken away.
After all, gastritis initially... seems to have been created by humans in this world themselves.
Human beings are greedy, weak, selfish, and even prone to killing each other.
This selfishness and mutual betrayal has led to humanity's current precarious situation and the brink of extinction.
But they show no remorse. Now, for their own selfish reasons, they are willing to unleash their sins once again—Gastrin virus.
The only lesson humanity learns from history is that humanity learns nothing from history.
These politicians promised Hiruko Kagetane that they would provide him with equipment for cultivating gastrulovirus, as well as consumables for his experiments—those children.
Rentaro is extremely busy.
Without the help of Enju and the others, Rentaro had to carry out the mission on his own.
Fortunately, the Cursed Child no longer exists, so everyone is on the same level. If they encounter resistant politicians, they still have their own fists, but the other side does not have the help of the Cursed Child.
However, the streets became chaotic, as if some entity was organizing and guiding the people to begin marching in the streets.
Rentaro is organizing a group to disperse the protesting residents.
"Damn it, what's wrong with these people? They won't listen to anything I say."
"We need to get our weapons ready; we have no choice but to try and disperse them by force!"
The auxiliary forces were not authorized to fire on the protesting residents, so they could only use non-lethal weapons, such as water cannons and tear gas, to disperse them.
It worked very well, after all, the other side was just a group of unarmed residents.
A throwing knife struck a police officer who was operating a water cannon.
The officer was hit in the shoulder and fell off the water truck.
The police officer who had fallen to the ground was surrounded by a crowd of people who were angry for reasons unknown.
Seeing this, Rentaro activated the jets of his bimetallic prosthetic leg, rushed into the crowd, and rescued the injured police officer.
"Brother, are you alright?"
"Retreat! There's an assassin on the other side. All team members, retreat first."
"Take this player to treatment as soon as possible!"
Rentaro ordered the auxiliary troops to retreat first, because there were suspected assassins on the other side. Since the mission was to suppress the civilians, they were basically not carrying any lethal weapons.
Moreover, if a fight breaks out here, it will be too chaotic and many people will die.
So Rentaro decided to track down the assassin alone.
After the other members retreated, Rentaro used the jetpack on his legs to fly in the direction from which the throwing knife had been fired.
The throwing knife came from a corner.
Rentaro saw a small figure wearing a black cloak.
The moment he saw that small figure, Rentaro's pupils contracted, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.
The small figure, seeing Rentaro attacking, calmly took out several throwing knives and threw them into the crowd.
Rentaro immediately changed direction, intending to intercept the flying knife.
But it was too late. Several protesters were hit directly by flying knives, which pierced their chests.
Blood splattered, and several people fell to the ground.
In an instant, the noisy crowd seemed to freeze in time, all stopping and staring at the few people lying in pools of blood.
The small figure that launched the attack was also noticed by the crowd.
The small figure seemed to realize that it had been discovered, and then, as if performing, removed its hood, revealing its true identity underneath.
—It was a little girl.
Red-eyed child!
"Hi everyone, how was my performance?"
The little girl, like a performer, innocently bowed to everyone, seemingly waiting for their applause.
"Why...why are there still cursed children?"
Rentaro noticed the child's red eyes and the force with which he had thrown the knife. Such power could only belong to a cursed child.
But weren't all the gastroviruses purified?
Why are there still cursed children?
The crowd, upon seeing the little girl's eyes, also realized what had happened.
"It's the cursed son! The cursed son has killed someone!"
"As expected, the government deceived us. The Gastrea were not eradicated. The government lied to us!"
"Kill her! Kill that monster!"
"Die, you cursed child!"
These people began to surround the child, carrying all sorts of weapons, sticks, and road signs.
They are completely blinded by hatred and depravity, and can no longer listen to anything.
Now, all they want is to kill the cursed child before them.
On the contrary, the child, seeing the crowd's angry roar, began to feel afraid.
"Why is everyone unhappy...?"
"My dad, who wears a mask, said that as long as I perform like this, everyone will like me."
"Did I do something wrong?"
Rentaro didn't sit idly by and wait to die. He stepped forward, picked up the little girl, activated the thrusters on his legs, and flew away through the crowd.
At the same time, similar attacks occurred throughout the city, and the attackers were all children of the cursed—children who should never have appeared again.
Perhaps this is the answer sheet that humanity in this world has submitted.
Chapter 71 Conspiracy.
Rentaro brought the cursed child to the Holy Emperor's side.
The child's body was growing weaker and weaker, and he seemed to be rapidly transforming into a Gastrea.
"Rentaro, what's wrong with her?"
The Holy Emperor was originally in a meeting, or rather, he was arguing with the opposition party, and now he is exhausted.
But when she learned that a new cursed child had appeared, she rushed over immediately.
"As you can see, this child's eyes are red. I've already examined them, and the child is indeed infected with gastroenteritis, and..."
"The concentration of gastritis virus in this child's body is continuously rising, which is completely different from the previous infected individuals. This child will probably transform into a gastrulator soon."
Although Rentaro was reluctant, he still told Rentaro about this hopeless outcome.
"The gastroenteritis she contracted seems to be extremely active, hundreds or thousands of times more active than the original gastroenteritis. I'm afraid this child won't last much longer."
"how so!"
The Holy Emperor has been so busy these past two days that he's completely exhausted.
The news of the extinction of Gastrea worldwide was shocking enough, and she was already preparing to lead humanity out of the monolith and into the new world.
Now, suddenly another enhanced version of Gastor has emerged?
"There must be a conspiracy!"
The Holy Emperor saw the truth in a single sentence.
She's not stupid. All the Gastrea in the world were wiped out, and now an enhanced version of the Gastrea virus has appeared.
If this isn't someone secretly plotting something, what else could it be?
"The enemy has appeared so quickly?"
The Holy Emperor already had a plan for dealing with this matter.
Without even thinking, you can simply shift the blame to those stupid politicians.
The Holy Emperor had long known that these people would do everything in their power to target him and protect their interests.
That's why the Holy Emperor appointed Rentaro as the captain of the auxiliary force, so that during the time when the front-line troops could not return to the city, he could do his best to purge the corrupt officials within the force.
However, midway through, Rentaro had to go and stop the riots due to a civil unrest.
In retrospect, these riots were premeditated.
However, the Holy Emperor really couldn't understand why these fools wanted to study gastroenteritis. Were they not afraid of dying?
Is the intention to force humanity to confront Gastrea once again?
World peace was finally achieved...
"Rentaro, I need you to investigate this matter and find out exactly where these Gastrea viruses came from."
"This concerns the future of humanity!"
"Understood, I'll investigate immediately!" Rentaro assured him.
They all knew that if gastritis broke out again, especially this enhanced version, humanity might truly face extinction.
