Can?
Humanity... can we really take another step back?
Kagami Riku slumped weakly on the seat.
"cannot."
See, he knows the answer too.
Looking at Kagamiru, who suddenly lost his vitality and looked sluggish, as if he had aged several years in an instant, Soji Kagami sighed in his heart, but continued: "So, taking a step forward is the last step for mankind. way out."
Chief Tiandao raised his right hand and pointed to the sky with his index finger: "Grandma said, if there is no way to retreat, it means it is time to move forward."
The fingertips are pointing to where the sun is.
The dazzling sunlight fell through the floor-to-ceiling windows and fell on the Tiandao General Secretary, reflecting him like a god, guiding the mortal believers in the right direction.
Kagamiri was stunned for a moment.
After a long silence, he came back to his senses and asked, "So, what are you going to do?"
"Let's first explore the background of the protozoa..." Chief Tiandao said in a very calm tone, "For example, how many of the Zect ant soldiers who joined the army as humans are still humans today."
"What!?" Hearing this, Kagamiri stood up with a look of astonishment on his face and shouted in disbelief, "Has the protozoa's erosion of human beings actually reached this point!?"
Chief Tiandao nodded.
As a result, Kagamiri's face, which had been flushed with excitement, suddenly turned white, her body became weak and she fell back into her seat.
He murmured to himself in confusion, confusion and regret: "How on earth did they do this under my nose..."
At this point, Kagamiru's expression froze, and then his eyes suddenly widened.
In his mind, something that he had recently been asking someone to investigate suddenly came to mind.
Thinking of this, he immediately wanted to get up, but he didn't get up.
Seeing this, Chief Tendo stepped forward and wanted to help, but Kagamiri refused.
I saw Kagami Riku pressing his hand on the table, gritting his teeth, trying to hold himself up, walked to the cabinet, opened the safe, took out a long closed box, brought it to the Chief of Tendou, paused, and took it again The box moved further away, and then it was slowly opened.
Soji Kagami looked at the long box in Kagamiri's hand, his mind was spinning, and he had a vague understanding in his heart, and he guessed what was inside.
Sure enough, when Kagamiri opened the box, a necklace carved from green stone appeared in front of Tiandao Souji.
Just listen to Kagami Riku say: "Recently, I discovered that Negishi has been secretly sending people to distribute this kind of necklaces to ant soldiers, so I asked trustworthy people to collect a few necklaces. Except for this one, I kept it. The rest have been quietly sent to foreign research institutions for testing, but so far no special findings have been found..."
At this point, Kagamiru's voice paused, and the fingers holding the box involuntarily tightened. Then, he took a deep breath, looked into the eyes of Tendou Souji and continued.
"Soji, since you not only found out Negishi's final plan, but also found out the samples he hid, do you know what this is?"
Souji Kagami lowered his eyes, nodded, and answered Kagamiri without any concealment: "As you might think, this necklace is the receiver of a machine that can turn humans into protozoa."
Hearing this, Kagamiru's palms trembled, and then he threw the long box in his hand to the ground with great anger. The green stone necklace inside shook out of the box, and collided with the long box with the ground, making an abnormal sound. .
Someone outside heard the noise and immediately opened the door and came in. At the same time, he shouted worriedly: "Director! Are you okay?"
But the next moment, he was scolded by Kagamiri.
"Who asked you to come in? Get out! No one is allowed to come in without my order!"
The man's expression froze for a moment, as if his brain was suddenly empty after being scolded. Then, without even daring to look at Kagamiri's face, he bowed and apologized with a horrified look on his face, then turned around and quickly exited Kagamiri's office. .
Kabuto Souji looked thoughtfully at the man's leaving figure until the office door quickly closed and cut off his sight.
At this time, Kagamiriu, who had calmed down a little, noticed the strange look on the face of Souji Tendo, and followed his gaze to the door. As his thoughts turned, his face soon became a little ugly again.
"He has a problem?"
Kagami Riku looked away and looked at Tiandao Souji and asked.
"Um."
Souji Tendou nodded, also looked away, looked at Kagamiriu and replied seriously.
"He wears a protozoan greenstone necklace."
Just now, when the man was bowing to apologize before leaving, Chief Tiandao discovered the greenstone necklace hidden around the man's neck with his excellent eyesight.
Although it was just a quick glance and did not see the whole picture, the Tiandao General Secretary was 80% sure that the man was indeed wearing the green stone necklace of the protozoa.
After all, generally speaking, even if there is a strange noise in the chief's office, you should shout and ask first, and then act on your own when there is no response.
But that person pushed the door directly in.
Although he shouted, he shouted again after entering the door. Judging from his police badge, it didn't look like he didn't understand, so it was a bit fake.
If Kagamiri hadn't been so angry just now, he would have discovered this.
Sure enough, recalling carefully, the more Kagamiru thought about it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with that person.
For a long time, he raised his hand to his forehead and said, holding back his headache: "I thought simply... It seems that not only Zect, but also the Metropolitan Police Department should investigate it carefully."
"more than."
Chief Tiandao said.
"In politics and business, those who hold great power, whether they are in office or retired, should also be screened."
He looked at Kagami Riku and reminded him pointedly.
"The lifespan of protozoa is very long."
At least, certainly longer than humans.
Kagamiriu, who was approaching her sixtieth year, instantly understood the hint from the Tendou Souji.
There is great terror between life and death.
Since ancient times, there have been countless absurd things done by those powerful old men seeking immortality.
But now, a practical plan is before them.
All we need is for them to give up their identity as [humans]...
At this moment, Kagamiri felt chills all over her body.
If you think about it carefully, you will be extremely scared.
"I...I will give the Ministry of Public Security a priority to clean it up as soon as possible, and then let them screen this matter with all their strength."
"Um."
Seeing that Kagamiriku had already made up his mind, Souji Tendou nodded and moved on to the next thing.
"Although there is still a crisis of zerg outside, as of now, although the crisis is not small, it is no longer big. Therefore, the protozoa may overturn the table in advance. For this, you must be prepared. Leave enough protective power for yourself.
"For example, if you transfer Kagami Shin to your side, you can no longer let him run around without knowing anything.
"It's time to tell him some things."
Kagamiri nodded: "I will have a good talk with him."
"Yes." Chief Tiandao continued, "In addition, for those known protozoa that have been fighting side by side with us humans, and those who live in human society abiding by the law, they choose the dying people when they mimic. You should ask people to pay close attention to this type of protozoa that is not actively killed. Let experts profile their psychology and speculate whether they are supporters of Negishi theory.
"If not, we can try to have deeper contact with them and see if we can win them over to our side."
Don't beat all the protozoa on the earth to the enemy's side with a stick, but draw some together, suppress some, target some, so that there will be more friends and fewer enemies.
Regarding this point, Kagamiru thought about it, agreed, and agreed again.
In this way, unknowingly, it became the commander-in-chief of Tiandao, issuing orders, and Kagamiriu followed the arrangements.
And the last order issued by the Tiandao General Secretary was——
"Remove the wanted order for Yakarima and retrieve Shun Kageyama who has been expelled from the Shadow Team."
