Chapter 506: Kill

“My real name is Asou Yutaka, a member of the Asou family. Eight years ago, at the behest of the family, I acted as a Hua Nation citizen and became a policeman. And under the guise of this identity, I secretly planned and organized a series of MLM activities in Hua Nation. My code name is “Fog.”

Qiu Yuanjie’s eyes were glazed, and he seemed to be mumbling to himself. He appeared to be admitting his guilt, but few people present understood what he was saying, as he was speaking fluent Japanese. But it was enough to shock Tian Zhenxing and several others, as everyone clearly knew that Qiu Yuanjie’s profile did not mention that he had studied Japanese, and the only competency in foreign languages that he declared was a little English. So the fact that such fluent Japanese was coming out of his mouth was undoubtedly enough to raise suspicions.

Luo Shuang was lying on the ground, staring blankly with her trembling eyes. She suddenly felt so strange about the team leader who she had always adored. The other members from the Anti-MLM Special Action Team were also shocked by what they saw and heard. They couldn’t accept the fact that their team leader could actually speak such fluent Japanese, but from the bottom of their hearts, they had already believed most of what Xiao Luo had said.

Xiao Luo looked on impassively and continued to ask, “Why did you choose Xiahai City to start the MLM activities?”

“It was because Xiahai City is the central city of Hua Nation, which always been a hub for communications between the continent’s main economic and cultural centers. Carrying out MLM activities here would certainly impact the economy of Hua Nation, and that blow will spread to other regions as well.” Qiu Yuanjie’s eyes were unfocused, and he answered Xiao Luo’s questions mechanically, like a puppet whose soul was being controlled.

“Is your Asou family on the right-wing of the party.”

“We don’t belong to any side, what Asou family has only been loyal to is Emperor Hirohito who regarded expelling the foreign invaders as his own duties. The mission that Emperor Hirohito failed to achieve, we will continue to accomplish on behalf of him, achieving dominion over Hua Nation!”

Despite being hypnotized, Qiu Yuanjie’s voice was thick with hatred when it came to this issue, which was an ideology that was deeply rooted in his soul, and even had become his faith.

Xiao Luo smiled coldly and then ended the hypnosis on him.

Qiu Yuanjie soon woke up from his hypnotic state. He found that the people around him were strangely gazing at him; even Luo Shuang, who adored him and was always on his side, was now staring at him in panic and with a sorrowful expression.

“Director, I...” Qiu Yuanjie felt strange and couldn’t remember what he had said, but one thing he could ensure was it must have been something terrible.

With a heavy sigh of grief and in a tone of disbelief, Tian Zhenxing said, “Qiu Yuanjie, you... you’re Japanese?”

“Of course, he’s a Japanese.”

Xiao Luo answered on his behalf and looked around. “Is there anyone here who understands Japanese? Translate what he just said.”

Everyone stared at each other in silence. It was evident that none of them understood Japanese. After all, learning English was the present trend, so those who learned Japanese were still the minority.

“I will.”

Luo Shang picked herself off the ground. There was a trace of blood on the corner of her mouth.

“Can you?” Xiao Luo slightly narrowed his eyes.

Luo Shuang took a step forward and stared with a determined look. “I’ve studied Japanese, so I understood all of what he just said,” she said.

“Luo Shuang...”

Qiu Yuanjie called out her name, pinning all his hopes on her. He realized he must have said something terrible, even if it was in Japanese, so his only hope now rested on the chance that this woman would harbor him and see him through this crisis tonight.

Luo Shuang’s eyes went red. She could not believe that the man she so admired, and even worshiped, turned out to be the “Fog,” the brain behind MLM activities. She couldn’t accept that the man she looked up to, a hero of anti-MLM, turned out to be a foreign subversive who came intending to destroy the Hua Nation.

“He just said that his real name is Asou Yutaka, and he also is a member of the Asou family. Eight years ago, he received this mission from his family...”

Luo Shuang translated what Qiu Yuanjie had said earlier to everyone present. She still wore on her face that dull and dead look of one suffering from internal conflict.

Everyone knew that she had a crush on Qiu Yuanjie, so her translation had to be trustworthy. When all Qiu Yuanjie’s words were translated, the crowd looked at Qiu Yuanjie with hostility. It had now gone beyond merely MLM activities, but it involved their national security.

It had been more than seventy years since Emperor Hirohito waged war on Hua Nation, but it was so appalling that there were still such fanatics existing who were attempting to destroy the Hua Nation. Any citizen of Hua Nation would hardly hold back their anger if they heard a plan to seize and hold dominion over the Hua Nation.

Qiu Yuanjie went pale, and he trembled in fear. His eyes were filled with anxiety and desperation. He still couldn’t believe that he had blurted out the whole truth.

What happened?

How the hell did it happen?

“Qiu Yuanjie, sorry... now I should call you Asou Yutaka. You actually buried your identity well enough, and if it wasn’t for Mr. Xiao, all of us would have believed that Guan Tong was the mastermind ‘Fog.’ While you were arresting MLM members, you also organized new MLM activities and trained more MLM leaders without our knowledge. You are f*cking cancer, constantly harming our fellow countrymen in Hua Nation,” Tian Zhenxing roared.

Qiu Yuanjie realized that his cover had been blown now. He glared at Xiao Luo with deep hatred. “What wicked witchcraft did you use? What f*cking black magic did you just use on me!” he screamed.

“Just your life will be more than enough. My old friend on the other side has been waiting for you for a long time now!”

Xiao Luo sneered at him. Then he stepped forward, and with a twirl of the samurai sword, he loped off Qiu Yuanjie’s neck in a single stroke.

SLICE!

Qiu Yuanjie’s head separated cleanly from his body and rolled on the ground like a ball. The side of his head and neck were soaked in fresh blood.

Although the people present had seen many bloody crime scenes before, it was the first time they had personally witnessed a living person being beheaded, and some of the female police officers screamed out in fear.

Looking at Qiu Yuanjie’s body, Luo Shuang widened her eyes in shock and said, “How could you kill him, even if he is the “Fog,” he should be judged by the law...”

historical

Luo Shuang’s statement lacked any conviction and came across weakly. She did nothing more than to mutter to herself rather than question Xiao Luo’s actions.

Without another word, Xiao Luo dropped the sword on the ground casually, then turned around and strode away into the distance.

No one thought to stop him, as all of them were rooted to the spot in deep shock, quietly watching him leave until he disappeared from their sight.

“Director...”

The SWAT team captain whispered to Tian Zhenxing.

Tian Zhenxing blinked and finally regained his consciousness. He turned his head around and stared at the captain.

The SWAT team captain asked, “Sir, should we just let Xiao Luo leave?”

“What can we do? Even if we decide not to let him go, can’t you see that he can even stop a bullet?”

Tian Zhenxing was still in a state of shock. “This is now a national security issue and is under the jurisdiction of NSA. We’re just assisting. Just report the real identity of Qiu Yuanjie, that he was ‘Fog,’ the leader of MLM, and was shot dead because he resisted arrest. As for the specifics of the arrest, draw on your imagination!”
