Civilization Guardian Front

"You're starting to learn bad things too, Tifa."

"It turns out that sister Tifa can also play p?lay, hehe..." Lizi on the other side also seconded.

Listening to the evaluation of the two, Tifa covered her forehead with some headaches.

"Call it what you want."

Chapter 260 The Hijacking of the Mori Building

This world is not as peaceful as it usually seems on the surface...

A small number of human beings have extraordinary talents, can develop the ability to fight against a hundred, and can research mysterious technologies beyond the scope of existing technologies... That is an existence that is even more exaggerated than the geniuses recognized by ordinary people .

Yet in countries with larger groups of ordinary people, they are forced to conform to the social norms of the less gifted.

Although most people successfully integrated in the end, and some outstanding people even obtained extremely high status and wealth...

Sadly, there are losers in every group, even geniuses.

Unable to cater to mainstream values, difficult to get used to ordinary life, unwilling to endure the burial of talent...

They are excluded from the social framework for various reasons. It may be to continue to survive in an unfriendly world, or to burn their lives to retaliate against society. They will eventually embark on the road of crime.

When their gift of dominance is used in crime, the destructive power is incalculable.

In a busy city like Tokyo, where the crowds are constantly flowing, ferocious criminals who can't be dealt with by the police alone are lurking like time bombs, ready to explode at any time.

For this reason, "Armed Detective" came into being...

A profession that emerges under the concept of superman against superman. It is a high-level mercenary who accepts commissions from civilians, the police, the military, and even high-level government officials to do things for money.

In the 21st century, butei has become a social role widely accepted all over the world.

Japan, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Roppongi Hills...

Drip~woo~~drip~woo~~

Police cars with flashing red lights and sounding sirens drove into the [-]-chome block one after another.

On the road, many policemen who arrived here earlier were busy evacuating the people in this densely populated area in order to establish a blockade.

"The Mori building was hijacked by terrorists, please do not approach!"

"Roppongi Hills is now a closed area, please leave in an orderly manner according to the instructions of the police if you have nothing to do with it!"

"The safety of the streets near the building is under the control of the police. Please don't panic and avoid trampling on others!"

On the roads leading to other neighborhoods around Roppongi Hills, dozens of policemen in uniforms whose backs were already soaked in sweat, holding broadcasting equipment, repeated the above words tirelessly.

This commercial and entertainment center integrating corporate offices, shopping centers, cinemas, art galleries, and restaurants has an average annual passenger flow of 4000 million, which is higher than the 3000 million visitors of Tokyo Disneyland.

Even if it is not a holiday, the crowds are still extremely impressive...

When these people scattered in the shops and different floors rushed out in a panic after hearing the news that the criminal group had hijacked the building, the road that was originally slightly empty was instantly filled with a sea of ​​people.

If you are not careful, the elderly and children can easily be killed or injured in trampling.

Fortunately, thanks to the Japanese people's perennial compliance with order, as well as the complete evacuation training during natural disaster drills such as typhoons and earthquakes.Although people could not hide their panic, they still lined up in a long queue reflexively and evacuated under the instructions of the police.

Guiding the evacuation of the people and then blocking the access passages is their most urgent task right now.

Just when more than half of the crowd successfully left this area...

A Lexus LS Metropolitan Police Department car, which is different from the regular Toyota, came to the inner driveway of Roppongi Hills and stopped in front of the police fence at the entrance of the building.

The car door opened, and the middle-aged police officer in a suit got out of the car.

The head of the First Search Section, who was in charge of the work of the police subordinates in this area, quickly explained the task through the walkie-talkie and stepped forward.

"Funamoto Police Inspector."

"Isobe..." Kaoru Funamoto, the criminal chief of the Metropolitan Police Department, nodded solemnly, took off the thin-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, and wiped off the fog on her head with a handkerchief.

"What's the situation? Were there any casualties?"

"The evacuation went smoothly. It is estimated that more than 15% of the people will be able to escape in 70 minutes, and the remaining scattered tourists will also be able to leave under our support. The terrorists acted in groups. According to reports from witnesses, the number of people is preliminarily estimated at 100- Between [-]; they had military-spec firearms and a lot of ammunition, and five officers who tried to sneak inside the building were wounded, so far there are no fatalities."

Knowing the number and armed forces of the hijackers, Zhou Benxin frowned immediately, and then asked in a deep voice:

"Do you have the number and list of hostages?"

"The list is still being confirmed, but the main targets of the terrorists seem to be the headquarters of many well-known companies above the middle level. It is roughly estimated that nearly a thousand employees have been taken hostage, including the presidents and presidents of some companies. They are all under their control. ."

The head of the first search section, Isobe Tadamitsu, said with a sigh, and clenched the hand hanging by his thigh tightly.

"Without the power of Special Assault Team (SAT) or Butei, our equipment can't fight criminals. I'm really sorry."

"I understand, you don't need to blame yourself for this..." Patting the shoulder of the police officer in front of her, Zhou Benxin comforted:

"The superior has immediately entrusted Butei to assist in the hostage rescue, and SAT is also ready to dispatch at any time."

"With us standing in front of the people, criminals will not be allowed to run rampant for too long."

...

Docklands, Rainbow Bridge...

The black Toyota Crown Century sedan with a speed of more than [-] kilometers per hour galloped across the bridge like a swift shadow.

Chios, who had just finished his teaching work for a day, was supposed to take a car back to the hotel to rest and complete the plan to respond to Kana Toyama's provocation shortly after, but turned back because of a phone call.

"Principal Green Pine..."

In the car, Chios was watching the report on the hijacking of the Mori Building on the TV in the back seat, with his mobile phone attached to his ear, and moderately expressed his puzzlement at the other end of the call:

"The hijacking incident can be handed over to the chief officer of the assault department. Why do you want me, a teacher of superpower search and research, to handle it?"

"Because you live in the Minato area where the crime happened, and you have considerable appeal in the minds of the students of this school, they are more willing to follow your command..."

(crap...)

Listening to the answer given by Lv Song Wu Zun's ordinary voice, the young man sneered silently.

Not to mention that the "charisma" mentioned by the other party is gender-restricted. How could he be more suitable for commanding students than other teachers after he came to Tokyo Butei High School for less than two months.

In terms of the level of understanding of students of each grade and subject, the gap is not small.

However, since the headmaster used this perfunctory excuse, he obviously didn't mind whether he accepted it or not.

Anyway, there was no basis for trust between the two of them, and there was no need to hide it in one-on-one conversations when they knew each other well.

It is normal for Takeru Midori, who has doubts about Chios' motives for coming to Tokyo Butei High, to take this opportunity to test him.

Considering that the principal himself is a master of psychological suggestion and disguise, he can rely on these skills to make himself non-existent without superpowers, even if he sees his appearance, it is difficult to impress him.

It can be seen how thorough his research on the psychological level is...

No matter whether Chios accepts or refuses, including what tone he uses, the other party can obtain a certain degree of information.

Even every second of hesitation is an invisible leak of his inner world.

Now, it all depends on how Chios decides.

(Facing such an unreasonable request, there is nothing wrong with refusing, but...)

Looking at the family members of the hostages who rushed to Roppongi Hills but were stopped by the police on the TV screen, they could only weep and cry in the blockade, a light flashed in Chios' eyes.

In this incident, it is not good to think of Yiyou as the "Count".

It would be more appropriate to face it from the perspective of the "Earl of Pembroke", the perfect knight...

"I understand..." As he said, Chios took a deep breath, as if he had taken over a heavy responsibility from the other party.

On the handsome face, the usual leisurely and elegant expression quickly disappeared.

Opening his eyes again, a pair of condensed eyes looked over the car window at the high-rise buildings in the northern part of the port area, and he said solemnly to Lvsong Wuzun:

"The lives of nearly a thousand hostages and the families behind these people are at stake...Since you are willing to entrust me with such an important task, I have no reason not to do my best to rescue them."

"..."

The principal on the other end of the call was silent for two seconds before replying:

"Okay, then please lead the students of our school to carry out this commission. If there is any need, our school will fully cooperate."

Chapter 260 Nine? For Justice

It took less than half an hour for the building to be hijacked by terrorists, and it spread rapidly under the coverage of the TV media.

Pedestrians wearing suits and walking on the street stopped to look at the eye-catching commercial displays of adjacent buildings.

Office workers who go to the restaurant to socialize with colleagues and bosses after get off work, look at the TV screen installed in the store, and silently put down the beer glasses they just picked up.

Housewives who turn on the TV at home and prepare dinner while listening; drivers and passengers who listen to the radio in the car; students who use chat software or anonymous forums on their computers and mobile phones...

For a time, the electronic billboards on the streets of Japanese cities, the TV screens of houses and businesses, the radios in cars, and even the Internet platforms, all the attention of the people of the whole country was focused on Roppongi Hills.

"Today at 18:00, famous companies such as Yahoo and Livedoor moved in. The tallest building "Mori Building" in Roppongi Hills was attacked by criminal gangs. At present..."

"We are currently unable to accurately know the number of hostages held by terrorists. According to police estimates, it may be close to a thousand people..."

"The criminals have no plans to communicate with the outside world, and their motives are unknown. Five police officers who tried to enter the building were injured. After first aid, it was determined that their lives were not in danger..."

Since the incident took place in a commercial center and the Asahi TV building was next door, the reporter arrived at the scene almost immediately, and the presidents and presidents of many well-known companies were taken hostage...

The sensation and social attention it caused was even more far-reaching than the attack on a warship a month ago.

Pulling up the blockade, using vehicles, fences and a large number of police forces to prevent outsiders from entering the periphery of Roppongi Hills, more and more people gathered spontaneously.

Most of the people who came here because they were worried about their relatives and friends successfully found the people they cared about from the evacuated crowd after contacting them by phone or with the assistance of the police.

They are undoubtedly lucky...

"Please, please save my husband!"

The housewife who rushed to the scene without putting on makeup, even without changing her apron, knelt down in front of the police and covered her face and wept.

"It's only the first day for Mizuho to work here today, why did this kind of thing happen..."

Calling her daughter's mobile phone repeatedly but still getting no response, the elderly parents with gray temples stood on the street with empty eyes.

"Mom, why isn't Daddy coming out yet?"

The innocent and ignorant child pulled the corner of his mother's clothes to ask questions, and all he got was two lines of tears that fell silently from his mother's cheeks.

There are hundreds of families like them.

The police officers who were ordered by their superiors to prevent the public from approaching further, although still sticking to their posts, felt helpless because they could only wait and see the development of the situation, which made them clenched their fists.

...

19:00

Artificial Floating Island, Tokyo Butei High School, Vehicle Kognaku...

In the open space outside the iron gate of the garage, nine students in the uniform of Tokyo Butei High School stood in a row in front of two OH-58 Kiowa scout helicopters ready to be dispatched.

Chios, entrusted by the principal of Lupine, wants to deal with the hostage crisis as well as possible, so he naturally needs to gather the most elite team from the students in the school.

Even though his understanding of the students of various colleges is far inferior to that of other senior teachers, it is not difficult to select the list of personnel suitable for this mission based on his intelligence and understanding of important plot characters...

First-year Assault Division S-level Butei: Tifa Lockhart De Libery, First-year A-level Butei of Detective Division: Mine Riko, First-year Vehicle Division A-level Butei: Shimaberry, Vehicle Division One Grade A Butei: Takeki Muto...

First-year Class B Butei of Communications: Tomomisaki Nakasora, First-year S-Class Butei of Equipment Department: Fumi Hiraga, second-year S-Class Butei of Psychic Investigation Graduate School: Julia at the time, first-year A of Supernatural Investigation Graduate School First-grade Butei: Xingjia Baixue, first-year S-rank Butei in the sniper department: Reki.

In the entire Tokyo Butei High School, almost half of the most talented and capable students in each major were transferred by him.

At this moment, the nine students with their own weapons and equipment were either serious, nervous, or expressionless.But without exception, they looked at the young teachers in suits in front of them.

The night wind blew over his forehead, and in the swaying shadows under the black hair, the deep purple eyes seemed to be able to emit light on their own, attracting everyone's attention.

"A profession like Butei is free to accept commissions based on remuneration..." After quickly observing the expressions of the students at the moment, Chios put his left hand on his waist and said without haste:

"Compared to the positive images of the police and soldiers, it is understandable that the public has a bad impression of Butei."

Hearing this, some people showed confusion on their faces.

Of course, it is impossible for them not to know the social evaluation of Butei.

But in the current tense period, is it meaningful for the teacher to bring this up first?
