Chapter 101: The Ninja Appears
Under the citywide manhunt, the location of Chen Mo and the others was quickly exposed.
Boom!
More than a dozen believers were blasted out from an alley.
Gang Tianmeng was covered in blood from head to toe.
“Come on! You pieces of trash!”
He laughed maniacally, smashing a believer who charged at him with a chainsaw—his head exploded under a single punch.
Blood sprayed everywhere.
“Don’t get bogged down! Move!”
Chen Mo’s calm voice came from behind.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three gunshots rang out.
Three armed believers who tried to flank from the side were shot through the forehead and fell dead to the ground.
Chen Mo held a gun in each hand, his gaze cold as ice.
In his vision, black threads of sin coiled around the bodies of these brainwashed believers.
Though they had been deceived, on this killing field, once they picked up weapons, they were enemies.
“Wind Scythe!”
Tsuchimikado Rin cried out sharply.
Whoosh—!
A visibly cyan wind blade swept forward.
The front row of believers was instantly severed at the waist, their organs spilling across the ground.
“Ahhhhh!”
The screams finally caused a momentary hesitation in the fanatical crowd.
“Get in the car!”
Chen Mo kicked open the door of a police car parked by the roadside.
Bang!
The ignition lock was violently destroyed, and Chen Mo skillfully hotwired the car.
The engine roared.
Gang Tianmeng and Tsuchimikado Rin climbed into the back seat.
“Hold on tight!”
Chen Mo yanked the steering wheel hard. The police car charged like a mad bull, smashing through the blocking crowd and speeding wildly toward the embassy district.
Chen Mo knew that on the land of the Neon Nation, the only place that could offer them protection was the Dragon Nation Embassy!
Because that place was a forbidden zone beyond the reach of Neon law!
……
In front of the Longxi Republic Embassy, the atmosphere was tense and explosive.
Several hundred fully armed “Holy Crusaders” completely surrounded the embassy.
They held Molotov cocktails, iron clubs, and even standard-issue rifles.
Yet they dared not cross the line.
Because inside the embassy’s iron gates, two rows of armed police soldiers holding rifles were coldly staring back at them.
This was the dignity of a great power—an absolute forbidden zone.
Even Asahara Shoko did not dare to openly assault this territory.
Unless he wanted the Dragon Nation’s carrier strike group to be anchored in Tokyo Bay tomorrow.
……
The three fought their way through in a bloody battle, forcibly tearing open a path through layers upon layers of the crowd.
Along the way, countless believers and military police lay fallen.
Finally.
They broke through the last blockade and plunged headlong into the gates of the Dragon Nation Embassy.
Rumble!
The heavy alloy gates slammed shut behind them, cutting off the tide-like mass of fanatical believers and the shouts of killing outside.
“We’re safe?”
Gang Tianmeng panted heavily as he asked.
“For now.”
Chen Mo looked at the tightly shut gates, then at the Dragon Nation flag fluttering proudly in the wind outside.
“Here, they won’t dare make a move.”
“Huu……”
Tsuchimikado Rin let out a long breath.
Her tightly wound nerves finally relaxed.
Though she was powerful, facing a citywide pursuit still suffocated her with oppressive pressure.
Chen Mo straightened his disheveled collar and looked toward Old Zhang, who was walking over.
“Old Zhang, thanks.”
“You kid, you always make such a huge commotion.”
Old Zhang shook his head with a wry smile, his gaze sweeping over Tsuchimikado Rin and Gang Tianmeng.
“And these two are?”
“Teammates.”
Chen Mo answered succinctly. “Also Transcendent ability users.”
“Take them to rest first. The medical team is already prepared.”
Old Zhang waved his hand, and several staff members stepped forward, leading Tsuchimikado Rin and Gang Tianmeng toward the rear area.
Gang Tianmeng was somewhat reluctant, but under Chen Mo’s look, he obediently followed along.
……
Half an hour later, inside the embassy.
Gang Tianmeng was wolfing down the food provided by the embassy.
Tsuchimikado Rin, meanwhile, sat cross-legged on the floor, eyes closed, recuperating her overly depleted mental energy.
Chen Mo sat at the edge of the bed, conducting a video call with the Commander back home.
“Commander.”
Chen Mo gave a detailed report on the current situation in the Neon Nation, as well as Asahara Shoko’s terrifying power.
“He has already taken control of the entire Neon government and established the Church of Myriad Spirits as the state religion.”
“Now, the whole Neon Nation has become his puppet.”
“Anyone who does not believe in him will be mercilessly hunted down.”
“Right now, we’re like an isolated island.”
After listening to Chen Mo’s report, the Commander’s expression turned extremely grave.
“I didn’t expect Asahara Shoko to have already expanded to such a degree.”
“The Neon government—this is playing with fire and courting self-destruction!”
“But you did very well, Chen Mo.”
“With the Dragon Nation Embassy there, they wouldn’t dare touch you.”
“We have already issued the strongest protest to the Neon government, demanding that they immediately stop this absurd action.”
“Moreover, we have informed the international community of Asahara Shoko’s crimes.”
“At the same time, we are secretly preparing a special operations unit, ready to enter the Neon Nation at any moment to support you.”
Chen Mo nodded. “Understood.”
“Then what should we do now?”
“Just keep hiding like this?”
“Of course not.”
The Commander shook his head. “I now appoint you as the highest commander of the embassy, with full authority over all transcendent affairs in the Neon Nation.”
“Go all out!”
“I’ll give you only one mission.”
“Take down Asahara Shoko! Win this game!”
“Yes! Commander!”
A blazing fighting spirit ignited in Chen Mo’s eyes.
……
After ending the call, Chen Mo followed Old Zhang into the office. Taking a cup of hot water, he asked, “How’s the situation now?”
“Very bad.”
Old Zhang turned on the screen on the wall.
On the display, the entire Neon Metropolis had already turned into a sea of flames.
Asahara Shoko’s believers were carrying out the final “cleansing.”
“That Asahara Shoko has already gone mad.”
Old Zhang sighed. “He’s now holding the entire Neon government hostage. The Self-Defense Forces and the police are all under his command.”
“He even built a divine throne on Tokyo Tower and proclaimed himself the ‘Living God’.”
Old Zhang pointed out the window. “Those lunatics outside don’t dare rush in, but they’ve cut off our water, electricity, and network, trying to force us into submission.”
“But don’t worry, we have backup generators and satellite communications.”
“Holding out for ten days or half a month won’t be a problem.”
Outside the embassy gates, tens of thousands of believers of the Church of Myriad Spirits were densely packed, blocking the area.
They held up portraits of Asahara Shoko, sang hymns loudly, and surrounded the embassy so tightly that not even water could seep through.
“Hand over the heretics!”
“Purify the sins!”
“The divine oracle descends!”
The fanatical shouts crashed against the embassy’s glass again and again like a tsunami.
Inside the window was warm light, the order and tranquility of modern civilization.
Outside the window was the cold night, the madness and chaos of a fanatical cult.
……
Night grew deep.
In a certain corner of the embassy.
Chen Mo was studying intelligence on Asahara Shoko.
Suddenly, a faint knock sounded at the door.
“Come in.”
Chen Mo casually said a line, thinking it was Old Zhang.
However.
The one who pushed the door open was a figure completely wrapped in tight black clothing.
【Ninja】 Hattori Heizo.
“You—”
Chen Mo abruptly stood up, a trace of vigilance flashing in his eyes.
“I am a 【Ninja】 from the 【Shadow】 faction.”
Hattori Heizo’s voice was slightly hoarse as he pulled down the mask covering his face, revealing a young yet cold and stern visage.
“I know you have many questions.”
“But now is not the time to explain.”
“I came because I want to cooperate with you.”
“Cooperate?”
Chen Mo frowned.
“That’s right.”
Hattori Heizo nodded. “I know the current hiding location of the 【Gambler】 and the 【Onmyoji】.”
“I came to join forces with you, to deal with Asahara Shoko together.”
“What do you think?”
Chen Mo looked at the suddenly appeared ally before him, a complicated glint flashing in his eyes.
He knew that the person in front of him was a member of the 【Shadow】 faction.
And moreover, he had brought unexpected intelligence.
“Are you sure?”
Chen Mo asked in a low voice. “They’re really there?”
“I’m sure.”
There was a trace of firmness in Hattori Heizo’s gaze. “I saw it with my own eyes.”
“And they also seem to have sensed the threat from Asahara Shoko.”
“I also found another player, Sano Manatsu. She’s hiding in an apartment in Bunkyo Ward.”
“They’re discussing how to deal with Asahara Shoko.”
A cold smile curled at the corner of Chen Mo’s mouth.
“Interesting.”
“It seems Asahara Shoko’s arrogance has already angered everyone.”
“In that case……”
A flash of resolve crossed Chen Mo’s eyes.
“Then let’s cooperate.”
