Nearly half of the Aota Gang's combat strength mysteriously disappeared overnight, including the new boss Aota Kazuichi, who was nowhere to be found.
For the vast majority of people in the Tokyo Area, they had no idea about this matter. Even the remaining few executives of the Aota Gang who knew about it didn't think about looking for their leader Aota Kazuichi. Instead, after confirming Aota Kazuichi's disappearance, a power struggle for the top position directly broke out within the Aota Gang.
As for revenge...
Sorry, the underworld didn't have such overly loyal sentiments. Moreover, in a medium-sized gang of two to three hundred people, after knowing that the new boss had disappeared without a trace, everyone's interest in how to fight for the position of boss of the Aota Gang far outweighed their motivation to avenge their former boss.
In comparison, a few informed people in the Tokyo Area knew that the Aota Gang, who had taken action earlier, had directly disappeared in the Thirty-ninth District. Besides being wary of the Civil Security officer there, they were secretly carrying out other actions.
...
"Is anyone here?"
"We are personnel from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department!"
"Please come out immediately!"
...
Just the noon of the day after Aota Kazuichi's group disappeared, more than a dozen police officers arriving in police cars entered the Thirty-ninth District. Then, after the police cars stopped at the edge of the Thirty-ninth District, dozens of police officers went straight to the stronghold where Morin and Kohina were.
After the police inspector (equivalent to the captain of a police branch or the chief of a police station) leading the group issued an order, more than fifty police officers, while using loudspeakers to call out, gripped their small handguns or the now-strengthened shotguns, nervously looking at the stronghold that resembled a small castle compared to the Aota Gang members who had already died, the police also felt that the defensive capabilities of this kind of stronghold were somewhat exaggerated for them!
"What are you police doing here?"
Seeing that it was the police from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department who had arrived, Morin didn't choose to open fire directly. Instead, he stood behind the stronghold's wall, observing the situation while asking loudly.
Beside Morin, Kohina chewed on her lollipop but gripped the small kodachi in her hand tightly. Elder Matsuzaki and the other little lolis with little combat ability had already gone down into the sewers to hide a few minutes earlier.
After all, Elder Matsuzaki and the little lolis really didn't trust the police, let alone the fact that no police had ever come to the Thirty-ninth District before. Elder Matsuzaki wouldn't believe that the police coming over would be anything good. And with Morin's direct urging, Elder Matsuzaki readily hid with the little lolis, not wanting to cause any trouble for Morin and Kohina.
"Morin, I am Police Inspector Sato from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."
Seeing Morin's impolite inquiry from the stronghold, the police inspector leading the team frowned slightly, then stood up straight, shouting with a righteous expression, "Please come out immediately. We suspect you are related to a major homicide case and are here to apprehend you!"
"Apprehend me?"
Hearing Police Inspector Ito's words, a half-smiling expression flashed across Morin's face.
Morin didn't need to guess much. Police Inspector Ito and these police officers' purpose was definitely aimed at him. Otherwise, would any police officer from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department ever come to the Thirty-ninth District? It was simply a joke.
"Bang!!!"
Morin's response was extremely simple. The SCAR automatic rifle directly fired a shot at the ground less than two meters in front of Police Inspector Ito.
Seeing Morin open fire without hesitation, all the police were startled. The previously righteous Police Inspector Ito let out a high-pitched scream, then jumped back without hesitation and directly rolled behind a pile of relatively protruding rubble, quickly taking evasive and hiding actions.
In a life-or-death situation, Police Inspector Ito, who had been wearing a neat police uniform and bright police rank insignia, completely disregarded his current image. He rolled several times on the ground without caring before finally hiding properly. His clean police uniform turned into a gray rag after rubbing against the ground several times. And Police Inspector Ito instantly changed from a seemingly dignified police officer to someone who looked like an unlucky fellow who had just fallen into a mud pit.
Not only Police Inspector Ito, but almost all the police officers who had come to the Thirty-ninth District with him sought the nearest cover to hide after hearing the gunshot. The previously imposing team instantly turned into a group of scurrying groundhogs.
Fortunately, for the time being, no police officer was so foolish as to directly open fire and return fire at Morin!
"Bastard! How dare you resist arrest?!"
Hiding behind the rubble, Police Inspector Ito, after calming down and realizing that Morin hadn't fired again, still didn't dare to peek out from behind the pile of rubble, but shouted angrily at Morin.
"Resist arrest? You say I'm a suspect and want to arrest me?? What evidence do you have???"
Morin scoffed at Police Inspector Ito's low-level attempt to label him.
Just kidding! A police inspector from the so-called Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, whom he had never met, suddenly led a team to the Thirty-ninth District, a place no one usually visited, and showed hostility towards Morin as soon as they met, saying they wanted to take a suspect back for arrest and interrogation any person with normal intelligence, from Morin's perspective, wouldn't believe that if they obediently put down their weapons and complied, they would be taken back to the police station by this guy for just a so-called arrest and interrogation!
Moreover, even before Morin was thrown into a different dimensional world by a god, he knew from the internet that police stations all over the world had their own unique methods for dealing with arrested suspects and criminals. The police in the "Black Bullet" world probably wouldn't be too friendly to murder suspects, let alone if they were specifically targeting Morin himself.
If this had happened outside the Monolith, Morin would have shot that so-called Police Inspector Ito a long time ago. Now, even if he hadn't shot the other party, he wouldn't let them take the initiative.
Clearly, Police Inspector Ito was stumped by Morin's few questions. Noticing the gazes of the lower-ranking police officers around him, Police Inspector Ito's gloomy face twitched, and he somewhat forced a serious expression, shouting loudly again at Morin and the others, "Damn it! You despicable fellow! There's clear evidence and witnesses! The night before last, a group of more than sixty people disappeared near the Thirty-ninth District. Besides you, this Civil Security officer, who is the most suspicious person in this vicinity, who else could it be?!"
Police Inspector Ito certainly had so-called "witnesses" and "evidence." Someone had even reported to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, otherwise, a police inspector like him wouldn't have been able to pull out dozens of police officers to dispatch to the Thirty-ninth District at once.
However, Police Inspector Ito had no idea that Morin held a completely dismissive attitude towards the so-called "evidence" and "witnesses"!
"Tch! Who are you trying to fool?"
Morin had already estimated Police Inspector Ito's origins and didn't bother to discuss it further with him, nor was he foolish enough to believe the other party and put down his weapon to walk out. He directly exposed the many doubts that Police Inspector Ito was deliberately ignoring, "Hmph hmph, this police officer is being rather presumptuous!"
"Finding a few so-called 'witnesses' to report, and then bringing people over to try to arrest a Civil Security officer, are you treating me and everyone else as fools?"
"What kind of place is the Thirty-ninth District? People still run to this place late at night? And a whole group of more than sixty people? Did they have nothing better to do than run to the Thirty-ninth District late at night for a celebration party? Are there still such fools nowadays? Don't tell me that after being swallowed by that Gastrea at night, your police couldn't bother to go after those Gastrea, so you have the nerve to come and make trouble for us Civil Security officers!"
"Let me tell you, I don't fall for your tricks. If you dare to target me, be careful my bullets don't recognize people!!!"
Just after speaking, Morin fired his SCAR automatic rifle again, a bullet hitting a dozen centimeters above Police Inspector Ito's head, causing Police Inspector Ito, who had just been about to shout, to duck down again and curse.
What made Police Inspector Ito even more uneasy and angry was the strange gazes of most of the surrounding police officers!
"Be careful!"
"Hey hey, what that Civil Security officer said isn't true, right?"
"Speaking of which, the police inspector suddenly brought us to this side of the Thirty-ninth District. No matter how you look at it, it's a bit..."
"I don't know! But I know that Civil Security officer up there has a gun. I don't want to lose my life!"...
The police officers who had also found places and cover to hide, looked at Police Inspector Ito with somewhat strange gazes while whispering to each other.
Originally following Police Inspector Ito, having been told that they might need to arrest a vicious suspect, and even equipped with shotguns, bulletproof shields, and bulletproof vests, most of the police officers didn't know Police Inspector Ito's true intentions. But now, after being warned by two bullets and hearing Morin's rebuttal, the police officers also noticed something was wrong no one was a fool. What kind of place was the Thirty-ninth District? This area occasionally had Gastrea infiltrating. How fearless would someone have to be to lead a team to such a dangerous area late at night!
"Bastard! Are you even police officers?!"
Seeing the situation of the surrounding police officers, Police Inspector Ito felt his anger rising rapidly, and he somewhat furiously ordered the surrounding police, "Are you believing the words of a criminal???"
Hearing Police Inspector Ito's words, many police officers couldn't help but curl their lips inwardly: that person was just a Civil Security officer, at most just a suspect, far from being a criminal yet!
Of course, no police officer was foolish enough to speak their mind, but not many people echoed Police Inspector Ito's views.
"Inspector, what do we do now?"
Just as Police Inspector Ito looked at the silent and strange atmosphere around him, his face turning from pale to green with anger, a trusted subordinate not far away quietly spoke, breaking the somewhat awkward atmosphere.
What to do?
That was a good question, but Police Inspector Ito embarrassedly found that he had no good solution.
Police Inspector Ito's original planned course of action, as instructed, was to directly use the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's reputation, under the pretext of a suspect in a major homicide case, to bring that Civil Security officer named Morin into the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Naturally, others would then step in to take over, and Police Inspector Ito wouldn't need to worry about the subsequent matters.
However, after being warned by Morin's initial gunfire, Police Inspector Ito's wishful thinking had directly fallen through. Morin didn't believe in the reputation of the so-called Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, causing Police Inspector Ito's initial actions to fail prematurely. Now that Morin had directly stated his refusal to cooperate, Police Inspector Ito, who was better at currying favor than arresting criminals, found himself in a dilemma.
Continue the plan?
Clearly, that Civil Security officer wasn't falling for it. His rebuttals had also raised many doubts among the other police officers. And this situation was difficult to handle with deception. Attempting a forceful attack, not to mention whether it would succeed, would definitely lead to casualties, which would be troublesome.
But if he chose to retreat now...
"Riot squad, prepare!"
Hesitating for a moment, thinking about the high-ranking figure who had instructed him and the assurances he had made before setting off, Police Inspector Ito's gaze turned sinister. He curled up even more, hiding behind the pile of rubble as he ordered, "We are now arresting a dangerous suspect. Whether this Civil Security officer has committed a crime is something the superiors will consider after we arrive at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department! If you don't want to become the laughingstock of the police department, then show some courage!!!"
"...Understood!!!"
"Charge!"
Even though they were unwilling, Police Inspector Ito, as the commanding officer on the scene, had given the order. The leader of the riot squad had no choice but to bite the bullet and give the command. Then, seven or eight police officers holding riot shields tried to stand up to provide cover.
However, before they could properly hold up their riot shields, Kohina, who had jumped down from the city wall, rushed in front of them carrying two wooden sticks. The wooden sticks, aimed at their feet, helmets, and other parts, instantly knocked three or four riot squad members to the ground. The impact, possibly no less than a strong hit from a baseball bat, directly caused the riot squad members who had just stood up with gritted teeth to fall to the ground again. Two riot squad members who were hit on their helmets felt as if they had been struck hard on the head, causing them to see black and immediately lose consciousness.
While the riot squad was directly beaten down by Kohina, the other police officers who were preparing to raise their guns and stand up could only watch anxiously. They wanted to help their colleagues but found they couldn't fighting an Initiator empty-handed would definitely be foolish! But just as they picked up their guns, a bullet shot away their handguns and shotguns, reminding them that there was still a Civil Security officer watching them from that stronghold!
Even Police Inspector Ito at this time could only watch Kohina unleash her power in the field with his lips twitching, not daring to issue a suicidal order for indiscriminate firing!
"They're not even running away?! This is quite troublesome..."
Morin leisurely watched Kohina run back, casually disarming a police officer who dared to raise his head, but found that the police had slowly retreated more than a hundred meters away and then didn't continue to retreat.
What Morin didn't expect was that the police didn't seem to plan on leaving, and the two sides directly reached a stalemate!
