Chapter 109: Sunset Pursuit and Kill Order
Imperial Palace plaza, atop the ruins.
That man (audit issue) did not go after the fleeing Gambler.
He stood on the high steps, looking down at the two corpses at his feet that were still giving off heat—Gang Tianmeng and Abe Qingtian.
“One got away.”
“Doesn’t matter.”
“As long as I crush the remaining ants, victory is still mine.”
He slowly raised his head.
Those eyes emitting golden light seemed to pierce through the void, directly locking onto the four people who were scrambling in panic at the edge of the ruins.
He took a deep breath.
Buzz——
In that instant, the air of the entire Neon Metropolis trembled.
All electronic screens, all broadcast loudspeakers, even every person’s phone, emitted a piercing buzzing sound at the same time.
Immediately after.
That man’s vast, majestic, divinity-filled voice exploded over the entire city.
“My people.”
“I am your god.”
That man’s voice rolled like thunder, echoing through the jungle of steel and concrete.
Whether refugees hiding in basements or believers patrolling the streets, all stopped what they were doing and devoutly knelt to the ground.
“There are several despicable heretics who have blasphemed the majesty of the gods.”
“They killed your compatriots and destroyed your sanctuaries.”
“Now, they are hiding like rats in the city’s sewers.”
A massive holographic projection appeared above the city.
Chen Mo, Tsuchimikado Rin, Hattori Heizo, Sano Manatsu, and Sakamoto Ryuji.
The faces of the group were clearly displayed before tens of millions of people.
“I command you.”
“Find them.”
“Tear them to pieces.”
That man’s voice carried a trace of cruel amusement.
“Before sunset.”
“I want the heads of these heretics placed upon my divine throne.”
“Whoever can do this.”
“I shall grant him… eternal life.”
Boom!
The entire city boiled over.
Eternal life!
This was a promise made by a god!
Tens of millions of believers had their eyes turn red.
They picked up kitchen knives, iron rods, even nail clippers.
They rushed out of their homes and flooded into the streets.
The entire city turned into a gigantic meat grinder, and those four people were the only fresh meat inside it.
……
“Madman……”
“A complete madman……”
Inside an abandoned subway tunnel.
Chen Mo panted heavily, supporting himself against the damp wall; every step made his lungs feel as if they were burning.
Hattori Heizo’s voice remained cold, but the ninja blade in his hand was constantly trembling slightly.
“It’s all madmen up there.”
“As soon as you show yourself, even a fly would be shot down.”
Tsuchimikado Rin carried the unconscious Sano Manatsu on her back, gritting her teeth as she followed behind.
Her miko robes were already in tatters, her body covered in dust and bloodstains.
“Where can we go?”
She asked in despair.
“The embassy is no longer an option; it must already be surrounded airtight.”
“All the safe houses have been exposed as well.”
“The entire Neon Nation no longer has a place for us to stand.”
“Split up.”
Chen Mo suddenly said.
“What?” Tsuchimikado Rin froze.
“Sticking together makes the target too big.”
Chen Mo analyzed calmly.
“Hattori, your stealth ability is the strongest. You take that painting woman with you.”
“Find some corner no one notices and hide.”
“As long as you’re not discovered, that’s enough.”
Hattori Heizo glanced at Chen Mo, then at the unconscious Sano Manatsu.
“And you?”
“Rin and I will be a team.”
“And I already have a plan to deal with that charlatan.”
“Take care.”
The ninja did not waste words.
He took Sano Manatsu, his figure flickered, and he vanished into the depths of the dark tunnel.
……
Dragon Nation Embassy.
Chen Mo brought Tsuchimikado Rin back to the embassy once again.
Both of them were covered in blood, utterly bedraggled.
“Outside, things have completely descended into chaos.”
Chen Mo panted heavily. “Asahara Shoko has issued the ‘Sunset Pursuit and Kill Order’.”
“He wants to wipe us out completely!”
Old Zhang looked at the two of them, his expression extremely grave.
“The embassy can’t shelter you indefinitely.”
Old Zhang said in a low voice, “Outside right now, everything is full of believers. They’ve cut off all supply lines.”
“Our embassy has already become an isolated island.”
“We can’t just sit here and wait for death!”
“We must strike back.”
A trace of resolve flashed through Chen Mo’s eyes.
He walked to the corner and took out that encrypted satellite phone.
“Now is the time to use the ultimate weapon.”
He dialed that encrypted call directly to the Dragon Nation’s central command.
“Commander!”
Chen Mo’s voice carried a hint of exhaustion, but even more so an unquestionable firmness.
“I need support.”
“The strongest support.”
“The Neon government has completely lost control.”
“Asahara Shoko has already become a threat to this world.”
“I request…”
“The use of nuclear weapons!”
……
On the other end of the line, there was a long silence.
Dragon Nation.
Inside the highest-level conference room.
The atmosphere was heavy.
“The situation in Neon has already reached an irreversible stage.”
A general said in a deep voice, “That man has already become an enormous threat.”
“He has nearly a hundred million believers and controls the entire state apparatus.”
“If we allow him to continue developing, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
“But…”
Another official frowned. “Directly intervening in his domestic affairs will provoke a fierce backlash from the international community.”
“It could even trigger a war.”
“War?”
The Commander sneered coldly. “Are we supposed to let this cult leader turn all of Neon into his divine kingdom, and then export his fanaticism to the entire world?”
“That would be the real disaster!”
“But if we directly deploy troops, it will give that man an excellent excuse.”
“He will claim that we are invaders, minions of demons.”
“That will only make his believers even more fanatical.”
“So…”
The Commander looked at Chen Mo’s face on the screen.
“Chen Mo.”
The Commander’s voice was sonorous. “Are you certain you want to use nuclear weapons?”
“Yes! Commander!”
Chen Mo’s voice was firm and powerful. “This is our only hope!”
“Good!”
The Commander slammed the table. “I approve your plan!”
“But remember, this is not a war.”
“This is a counter-terrorism operation!”
“This is a purge of a cult!”
“We must leave no evidence behind!”
“Yes!”
In Chen Mo’s eyes, blazing fighting spirit ignited.
“Tell me, what do you need?”
The Commander asked in a deep voice. “As long as it’s something we can do, we will support you with everything we have!”
Chen Mo took a deep breath.
“I need…”
“Wang Jingyi’s transcendent artifact!”
On the other end of the line, silence fell once more.
Wang Jingyi’s transcendent artifact was the Dragon Nation Transcendent Affairs Administration’s top-tier secret weapon.
“No problem!”
The Commander said decisively. “Within eight hours, the transcendent artifact will be secretly transported to Neon and delivered to the embassy.”
“Chen Mo!”
“You must hold on!”
“I know!”
Chen Mo hung up the phone and looked at the blood-red setting sun outside the window.
“That man.”
He muttered to himself, “Your doomsday has arrived.”
……
And in some hidden corner of the Neon Metropolis.
A figure completely wrapped in black skintight clothing stood atop a high-rise building.
He looked at the distant blood-red sunset, complex light flickering in his eyes.
【Ninja】Hattori Heizo.
He had just successfully shaken off his pursuers, but his situation was still dire.
“Chen Mo…”
He murmured softly, “What exactly are you planning?”
