As a local of the Black Bullet world, Satomi Rentaro naturally understood the current situation.
Not to mention what he heard from others, he had witnessed countless similar incidents with his own eyes since childhood.
So he knew very well what kind of treatment that Cursed Children would receive if he didn't intervene.
But if he did intervene, he couldn't kill those people; he had to find the right moment to knock them all out.
At this critical moment, this would inevitably take a lot of time.
"Forget it, a quick fight."
After hesitating for a few seconds on the spot, Satomi Rentaro finally stopped delaying and rushed into the alley.
But to his surprise, the scene in the alley was not what he had imagined.
There was no Laughter of venting hatred, no screams from being attacked, only a deathly silence.
Red mist permeated the air, bringing a faint smell of blood.
The Cursed Children who had just been dragged in seemed to have seen something unbelievable, staring blankly at Satomi Rentaro, who had just rushed in.
"This is..."
Satomi Rentaro was stunned for a moment, not reacting.
He came before the Cursed Children who had just been dragged in, and he tried to suppress his shock as he asked.
"What happened?"
Taking a few steps back to create distance from Satomi Rentaro, the Cursed Children replied, "They all suddenly exploded."
"Exploded?!"
Not understanding the Cursed Children's meaning, Satomi Rentaro wanted to press further.
After all, this matter concerned several lives and needed to be clarified.
"Ahhh!!!"
"Help! People are dying!"
"What's going on?!"
Just then, a terrified commotion suddenly erupted in the square outside.
Satomi Rentaro quickly turned and ran out of the alley.
Perhaps by coincidence, a man holding a small knife happened to walk towards him, seemingly preparing to enter the alley behind him.
"Hey, what are you doing with a weapon!"
Satomi Rentaro walked forward, preparing to stop the other party.
But before he could get close, a muffled sound suddenly rose.
Bang—!
Under Satomi Rentaro's gaze, the man holding the small knife suddenly exploded as if a bomb had been installed inside him.
"Exploded?!"
At this moment, Satomi Rentaro understood what the Cursed Children had just said.
His gaze swept around, and under his observation, more than a dozen people on the square successively exploded.
Blood mist began to gradually fill the air, and panic began to spread throughout the entire Tokyo Area.
Just as everyone was in fear, not knowing what was happening.
A playful voice with a hint of a smile suddenly rang out.
"Moshi moshi~ Can you hear my voice~"
Satomi Rentaro: "?!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Satomi Rentaro's body stiffened, and he instantly reacted.
"It's that guy who took Tendo!"
Following the direction of the voice, Satomi Rentaro looked at the public screen standing in the middle of the square.
Sure enough, Lin Que's figure appeared on the screen.
Not far behind him, the Saint Empress and Tendo Kisara stood one on each side.
"What's going on?"
Satomi Rentaro's eyes were filled with confusion.
Didn't Lin Que and Tendo Kisara just leave a short while ago?
How long had it been, and they had already met the Saint Empress?
And judging by this appearance, it seemed that the other party had reached some agreement with the Saint Empress, which was why he appeared on the screen.
"Hmm, it seems I can be heard."
While Satomi Rentaro was shocked, Lin Que on the other side also nodded in satisfaction.
Under the cover of his Observation Haki, he could see his image and scene appearing all over the world.
It was worth the time he spent on 'friendly remote exchanges' with leaders from various regions around the world.
"Since everyone can hear the sound or see the image, I'll get straight to the point."
Lin Que snapped his fingers, summoning a translucent screen out of thin air through a prepared recording crystal.
On the screen, several young people were working together, dragging a constantly resisting Cursed Children towards an alley.
"Seeing this scene, everyone in front of the screen should understand what's about to happen next."
"That's right, this is something that over 99% of you in front of the screen have seen: the brutal killing of Cursed Children. ..."
"However, it's regrettable…"
Bang—! Bang—! Bang—!
"I don't like this kind of thing."
"What is this?!"
Satomi Rentaro stared, wide-eyed, at the young people exploding into thin air on the screen Lin Que had summoned.
He had just witnessed this scene mere tens of seconds ago.
"He did it!"
"That's right, I think everyone should have understood by now."
On the screen, Lin Que's lips slowly curved upwards, a look of pleasure on his face.
"The explosions currently occurring across the world are indeed my doing."
"What a joke!"
"Killing people for no reason, what is the Saint Empress doing!"
"Saint Empress, why are you just watching!"
"Devil! Someone kill him quickly!"
...
As soon as Lin Que's voice fell, various curses erupted in the square.
After witnessing Lin Que's recent actions, everyone understood that this strange man who had suddenly appeared was standing up for the Cursed Children.
But precisely because of this, most of the people in the square felt enraged.
In their eyes, the Cursed Children were Gastrea.
And they, who had lost family and friends to Gastrea, were merely seeking revenge.
It was only natural for the Cursed Children to be bullied.
Anyone who stood up for them was wrong!
"Hahaha! Excellent, excellent!"
Just as the curses grew more intense, Lin Que on the screen suddenly burst into loud laughter.
Under the cover of Observation Haki, a massive surge of intense emotions, accompanied by various thoughts, flowed into Lin Que's mind.
Although his physical body remained in a dormant state, Lin Que's brain was operating at its absolute peak for the first time.
In a mere instant, he processed all the information, and his laughter grew even more joyful.
"This is truly excellent; I found them all in one go."
Slowly raising his right hand, Lin Que made a gun gesture, aiming it at the camera in front of him.
"So… are you ready, my dear audience?"
"The hunt has begun!"
Bang—!
