Clip exposure, the savior Kamijou Touma

Page 653

Touma and his group of protagonists continued to experience several rounds of trouble.

Including witnessing the disappearance of the victim.

I even doubt how to solve the problem under the current situation.

The most despicable thing is...

When in the video, from a dark corner somewhere appeared the magicians who manipulated the children's words and figures.

Kamijou Touma in front of the screen was completely upset.

Using children as weapons?

This kind of behavior.

Even all the enemies so far.

No matter how much he covets his arm.

No one has ever really done anything so vile.

Are these guys all crazy?

No... they are definitely not lunatics, but a group of dirty bastards who have absolutely no moral bottom line and are on the other side of the magic line and disregard human life. They are the ones who need to have their three views corrected!

"What a scumbag! How could he do such a thing!!!"

Look at this scene in the video.

Touma clenched his teeth.

Honestly.

Although Budwei in the video has explained the concept of magic and the functions of magic names.

But these two have no effect at present.

He also had no idea what the various awesome people mentioned multiple times in the video were like...the president, Gremlin, and the like.

but--

Now, the topic being discussed on the screen really touched his heart.

"Gremlin seems to want to obtain the 'detonator'."

"Detonator... this ambiguous term doesn't make sense. Science? Magic? Or something that's both?"

"A small-scale active volcanic eruption control device. But it was too long, so it was replaced by 'detonator'. This is a device developed by a related research institute in the United States."

"…I feel like it's a dangerous name."

"As the name suggests, it's a toy for controlling the activity of active volcanoes. Although it's impossible to stop a volcanic eruption, if the energy of the eruption can be dispersed, the scope of damage can be controlled. To put it simply, it's better to imagine that this device stimulates the underground magma through a special combination of explosives, and then achieves an artificial small-scale eruption."

In recent years, in addition to direct damage such as mudslides and lava flows, large-scale volcanic ash has also blocked flight routes. If we can avoid the economic losses caused by natural disasters, it would be worthwhile to study it.

"Is this what those Gremlin guys are after?"

"To be more precise, it seems that those guys controlled by Gremlin are seeking the data of the 'detonator'."

Accelerator whispered as if letting out a breath.

"But 'primers' are basically devices used to stimulate underground magma. If their use is deliberately changed, it should instead lead to a large-scale eruption."

Since Gremlin was targeting the "detonator", he must be trying to cause a large-scale eruption of an active volcano somewhere. In other words, the "detonator" could not be used anywhere else.

In that case, where is that thing?

"Kilauea."

Accelerator answered.

"If we talk about the largest active volcano in the Hawaiian Islands, it's probably that one."

"Kilauea volcano?"

Budwei muttered quietly.

"The diameter of the crater of Kilauea volcano alone is more than ten kilometers. In addition to the one on the top of the mountain, there are also some small craters 20 to 30 kilometers away."

"…'Detonator' is a system that uses artificial means to make a volcano erupt, right?"

Accelerator smacked his lips in response to Kamijou’s question.

"If Gremlin used 'detonators', they could have created an explosion of a scale that would be impossible in a natural environment. The worst case scenario is that all the volcanoes could erupt at the same time."

"More than 80% of the Hawaiian Islands are hilly. Although development has moved toward the mountains after the road network was built, it cannot be denied that the population is still concentrated in a few flat areas."

"If Kilauea does erupt... the lava will get there."

"That's just an ordinary-scale outbreak."

Accelerator interrupted him.

"If an artificial explosion occurs through the 'detonator', it won't end at that level. Kilauea will start to interact with each other, and the underground volcanoes such as Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea, and Hualalai will all erupt together. At that time..."

"Well, the entire island of Hawaii will be washed by lava."

Budway ignored Kamijou and Hamazura who were speechless and gave a simple answer.

"The predicted death toll, including residents and tourists, is 50, right? It doesn't sound very optimistic, but planning such lawless things really fits the style of those guys, Prime Minister."

Kamijou, Mikoto, and Budweiser were riding on a large bus.

Hamazura, the special unit, and Kuroyoru are carrying out other operations. The goal of the Kamijou and Accelerator teams is to prevent the "detonator" from being shipped out of Oahu, but just in case, they still have to stay in Hawaii.

Hamazura and his team were responsible for laying a defense line around the Kilauea volcano.

"The eruption of Kilauea volcano was artificially caused, and 500,000 people became victims..."

"……Um--"

Mikoto groaned.

Budwei looked out the window and said,

"You still have questions?"

"I understand that those 'terrorists' are planning something serious."

Mikoto still didn't fully understand Gremlin or magic, so she understood those people just like that.

"But, before getting the 'detonator', when gathering intelligence, didn't they mention the Senate and the House of Representatives and so on, saying that they manipulated many government officials? This is just like the fifth guy in our group..."

"I'm afraid it's a power that can control a considerable number of people. Is there any problem with this?"

"Don't you think this is a waste of time? Since I have the ability to control more than half of the parliament, I don't think I need to resort to violence. I can use other methods to change this country, right?"

"If this is just a problem for the United States, then you are right."

Budwei said in a very casual tone.

"But Gremlin is a much larger enemy. And if you extend your perspective beyond the United States, you can understand where those people's interests lie."

"What do you mean, little one?"

"Listen carefully. The 'priming agent' itself was developed in a US research institute. And throughout the entire incident, the government's parliament, official system, army, police, and intelligence agencies were all used as cogs. If the artificial eruption of Kilauea volcano turned into a large-scale terrorist attack, the public sentiment would not be directed only at the terrorists. Rather, it would be more likely to be directed at the useless US government."

"..."

"Not only that, in Hawaii, foreign tourists outnumber native Hawaiians by several times. In this case, most of the victims are probably tourists. This is not just an internal affair of one country. Many countries, many governments, and many politicians will thoroughly investigate the causes and consequences of the Kilauea eruption, and the United States will be severely condemned when the truth is revealed. In this post-war period, money is needed everywhere... Naturally, the United States does not have the ability to respond to all compensation requests. The chaos will continue."

"Is the goal to cause the entire scientific camp to suffer losses?"

Kamijou said as if he was spitting.

"Well, they are just creating an opportunity. Once Kilauea erupts, the countries in the scientific camp will start to become hostile to each other uncontrollably. It's like driving a wedge between the gears of the scientific camp."

"...Even though there is Academy City as a technology center, the actual operation of the economy still depends on the United States. If we completely defeat it and make it stop..."

"The cycle of unemployment, poverty, and hunger will explode. Moreover, emerging countries far from the center of the incident, the United States, will suffer the most. Once these countries know that the damage suffered by the United States, the culprit, is less than their own, their anger will swell even more. The chain of negative emotions will be complete."

"In the worst case, terrorist attacks and riots that have nothing to do with Gremlin will break out all over the world. If things turn out like that, there will be no time to track down Gremlin."

That's what happened, Budwei said softly.

.....

What a joke!

Suddenly such a despicable bastard appeared.

It's simply an act that is impossible to understand.

"They actually want to trigger a volcanic eruption. They are really a bunch of lunatics." In the world of Ultraman Tiga, Golzan was filled with indignation and frantically typed words to condemn this immoral behavior.

Simply throw an ignition potion.

It could cause more than 500,000 casualties.

It sounds really horrifying at first.

However, take a closer look.

There are still viewers who think that this behavior is too low-class.

Compared to before, he was able to deal with the entire Academy City and the Right Seat of God of the British Puritan Church at will.

This kind of despicable and underhanded behavior... is not decent at all no matter how you look at it.

However, those who really understood magic frowned when they saw this scene.

A kind man named Orelus focused on the conceptual analysis of the words in the video, which was completely different from what the audience thought.

"The energy from a volcanic eruption is accumulated. Although the scientific camp may see the social harm caused by the volcanic eruption, which they care about... But if a volcano erupts, these guys will not do such a meaningless thing. I'm afraid they are planning to use this energy to forge or accumulate something unimaginable."

Looking at the comments of the audience in the video, the good man Diorels with drooping eyelids explained what he thought as if explaining himself... Of course, it is quite regrettable that this kind of constructive evaluation and speculation will never be conveyed to anyone else from the room where he lives.

And at this moment——

Because this matter involves a volcanic eruption.

The audience couldn't help but sigh, wondering what kind of villains were hiding behind this organization.

Little did they know that at this moment, in the barrage of comments floating through the live broadcast room, there was a dark-skinned girl who was sneering at the audience's unfounded suspicions.

"Oh, what a short-sighted bunch of guys."

And in the midst of this conversation of comments and jokes.

The plot in the video is still progressing in an orderly manner.

We have entered a new round.

because--

Just as I was struggling, hesitating and trying to raise funds.

Kamijou Touma and his companions, who had been on the same plane with the president of a certain country, witnessed with their own eyes a volcanic island that had accumulated a huge amount of volcanic ash for unknown reasons but had not erupted in large quantities.

Chapter 148. Common Path

All signs are suspicious.

All deeds push the truth to a reality that no one associates with.

The plot is complicated and too many new characters appear one after another.

This is exactly what Kamijou Touma needs to pay in order to truly step onto the highest stage in this world.

Running back and forth, working hard, and fulfilling various obligations conscientiously.

For the reason that [Gremlin coveted you, Imagine Slayer, and therefore did such an outrageous thing], I risked my life and everything I had.

And now...

The video content is accompanied by a long-lost narrative voice-over.

The whole story is told to the audience in a simple and convenient way.

[In this tricky situation, the dilemma that Touma needs to face comes not only from the outside, but also from within his own group. ]

[After the Cinderella case, Touma and his team were divided into three groups]
