"Special Commissioner, I just want to save my son, Dagui." Director Shimazaki sneered and asked, "You want to use my son as a sacrifice to reach some unspeakable deal with that monster. As a father, is there anything wrong with me doing this?"
Grace's face was clouded, her lips tightly pursed.
She was still too hasty. Grace never took the Shimazaki father and son seriously, and treated them as abandoned pawns that could be used at will. Unexpectedly, the bond between the Shimazaki father and son was so deep that Director Shimazaki dared to rebel against his superior and completely disrupt the entire plan.
Aren’t Japanese people the most collectivist? How could Director Shimazaki not consider the overall situation?
What he lost was just a son, but what the Metropolitan Police Department lost was the opportunity to control supernatural creatures!
"Director Shimazaki, please calm down for a moment. We will think of a solution that will satisfy both parties..." Grace's stiff tone softened.
"Special Commissioner, don't try to deceive me with your sweet words at this point. As a police officer my whole life, how can I not know what kind of people you big shots are? The only thing I can rely on now is this gun in my hand!"
The director roared, and the barrel of the gun pressed against Suzuki Maika's chin flashed with the cold light of steel.
"Tell all your men to get out! Or I'll shoot!"
"Investigator, do you want to?"
The captain of the tactical team leaned close to Grace's ear and whispered.
At this angle and distance, they were absolutely sure to shoot Director Shimazaki before he could react.
Looking at the M360J police gun against Suzuki Maika's chin, Grace shook her head.
Although Japan's various revolver police rifles are ridiculed as "cannot kill even the enemy from seven steps away" and "cannot penetrate the enemy's defense even if he is wearing a cotton-padded jacket", it is still possible to shoot the enemy in the head at close range.
If Chief Shimazaki was shot and killed, and his finger accidentally pulled the trigger when he fell, causing Suzuki Maika to die here, there would be no chance of recovery.
Grace was afraid to act rashly for the moment.
"Except for the 'Swordfish' team, all officers from Section 5 and the local police station should evacuate!" Grace ordered.
"Didn't I say everyone?" Director Shimazaki said dissatisfiedly.
"That's the biggest concession I can make!"
Grace said with a frosty face.
When negotiating with terrorists who take hostages, unconditional concession is the stupidest thing to do.
With so many people rushing into the detention room at once, it seemed a bit crowded. Once a conflict broke out, it would be difficult for the tactical team to take action.
Furthermore, compared to the Sailfish Squad, who were armed with assault rifles and other heavy weapons, the firepower of the Section 5 members' pistols was insignificant, and the local police officers were even more of a hindrance, so they took this opportunity to send them all off.
Seeing the blond special envoy's firm attitude, Director Shimazaki frowned and did not insist.
The operators of Section 5 and the people from Obama City Police Station walked out one by one.
Several local police officers looked at the chief with complicated expressions. Chief Shimazaki was considered to be highly capable and well-respected in the police station, but they did not expect him to be so unwise.
As soon as the local police officers went out, they were disarmed by the people from Section 5 and taken to the meeting room of the police station and detained.
After Chief Shimazaki's betrayal, Grace had lost trust in the local police officers and secretly instructed Section 5 to temporarily detain them.
"Damn it! He pointed a gun at Maika, is he qualified to be a police officer?!"
Sakaki Namiryu looked at Director Shimazaki angrily, and her face was full of worry about the hostage Suzuki Maika.
Although she didn't want to leave like this, she knew that she was just a burden here. Sakaki Namiryu clenched her fists and had no choice but to walk out.
Most of the people in the detention room dispersed at once, leaving only the hostage Maika Suzuki, Director Shimazaki, Grace, and a dozen members of the Sailfish Armed Team.
"Dad! Save me!"
Shimazaki Daiki, who was suspended in the air by the octopus's tentacles, looked at him with an expression as if he had found his savior and shouted excitedly.
"Dagui, Daddy is here, no one can hurt you."
Director Shimazaki held Suzuki Maika hostage and confronted Suzuki Kimie, shouting in a timid manner:
"You monster, look who this is! Let my son go, or I'll kill your sister!"
Suzuki Kimie's eyes were as deep and dark as a cold pond. The pile of octopus tentacles under her body were wriggling randomly, and it seemed that she was not at peace inside.
"Let him go quickly! Suzuki, ask your sister to let him go! Ask your sister to come and save you!"
Seeing that Suzuki Kimie had no intention of letting her go, Director Shimazaki became anxious and poked Suzuki Maika's chin repeatedly with the muzzle of the gun.
Grace, who was watching from the side, was terrified, fearing that the police gun might accidentally go off.
"Woo..."
Suzuki Maika said nothing, tears glistening in her eyes, staring at Suzuki Kimie in a daze.
That's right!
Although she has become a half-human, half-fish creature, she still recognized her biological sister Suzuki Kimie at a glance!
"Monster, do you really not care about your sister's life?"
Grace's eyelids twitched and she looked at Suzuki Kimie uneasily. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but Suzuki Kimie's expression was still extremely cold, but a faint red glow was already appearing on her body.
"Snapped!"
Shimazaki Daiki fell heavily to the ground. Without caring about anything else, he rolled and crawled behind Director Shimazaki, trembling with fear.
"Dad! Daddy!"
"Don't be afraid, Dad is here."
Director Shimazaki felt very distressed when he saw this.
"Director Shimazaki, you should release Suzuki Maika now. Don't make the same mistake over and over again. It's not too late to turn back!" Grace said anxiously, suppressing her panic.
"What a joke! How can we let him go like this? If we let him go now, can our lives be saved?"
Director Shimazaki demanded confidently, even in an imperative tone.
"Mr. Special Envoy, please prepare a car for me... No, prepare a helicopter with at least four seats for me."
"Helicopter? What do you want to do! I can't do it!" Grace refused immediately.
"Do you think I don't know how powerful your department is? You can even mobilize warships, how can you not be able to do such a small thing!"
Director Shimazaki's eyes turned red and his face turned red. He grabbed Suzuki Maika's face and yelled.
"Otherwise, let this woman die together with my father and I!"
Damn it, this bastard actually wanted to take hostages and escape by helicopter. What on earth was he trying to do? Where did he think he could escape to?
An unprecedented feeling of oppression suddenly enveloped Grace, and she couldn't help but shiver.
"Gu..."
A low, beast-like grumble came from Suzuki Kimie's throat, and a bright red, ominous glow of blood appeared on her body, even gradually creeping up her cheeks.
"What's this!?"
While Director Shimazaki was surprised, a fierce look flashed in Suzuki Maika's eyes. She opened her mouth and bit Director Shimazaki's palm unexpectedly!
"it hurts!"
As her arms loosened, Suzuki Maika tried to take advantage of the opportunity to break free and escape.
"boom!"
After a gunshot.
Suzuki Maika fell to the ground, covering her throat with one hand, blood dripping between her fingers, and stretched out her other hand towards Suzuki Kimie.
"……elder sister……"
Blood oozes out of Suzuki Maika's mouth. She tilts her head and closes her eyes. Her outstretched hand falls down weakly.
After a few "clang clang clang" sounds, Director Shimazaki looked at the brass bullet casing rolling on the ground with disbelief on his face, then raised his head to look at the muzzle of the gun that was emitting smoke, and even he had a dazed look on his face.
Why aren't my fingers obeying me?
“Ah ...
A roar of rage and extreme grief came out of Suzuki Kimie's mouth, and the octopus tentacles under her body began to lash out wildly.
The dark red tailed beast coat has covered its head, and its originally pretty face looks like a demon with fangs.
At this moment, everyone felt a sense of crisis that a disaster was about to happen.
"Dagui, run!"
Director Shimazaki gritted his teeth, pulled up his son who had collapsed on the ground, and was about to run away.
"boom!"
A black flash directly pierced through the Shimazaki father and son!
Broken arms and limbs and colorful pieces of internal organs scattered on the ground with a plop. A head rolled to Grace's feet. The expression on its face was still full of surprise, as if it didn't realize that it was dead.
"What's that black light that looks like artillery fire?"
Grace was horrified when she saw the huge hole that had been blasted through several walls and through which one could even see the street view.
This power is even more terrifying than anti-tank guns!
"Whirring whirring!"
Wisps of white steam came out of Suzuki Kimie's mouth.
Now it no longer has any resemblance to a human being, it is now a monster with the upper body of a beast and the lower body of octopus tentacles!
An octopus tentacle flicked over and rolled up Suzuki Maika. 'Suzuki Kimie' looked at her sister in front of her with blood all over her head and face, raised her head and let out a grief-stricken roar.
"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooos on this!"
The ceiling was shaking and dust was falling off, as if firecrackers had exploded in her ear canals. Her head was buzzing and Grace covered her ears with a look of pain on her face.
'Suzuki Kimie' used the octopus tentacles to hold Suzuki Maika tightly in her arms, raised her head, and there seemed to be some blood-colored liquid flowing from her eyes.
It glanced at everyone present with a violent and murderous look, and then a terrible pressure that was so violent and heavy that it almost suffocated everyone was pressed down heavily on them.
Oh no! Suzuki Kimie is going crazy!
"Ms. Suzuki, your sister can still be saved!"
Grace was sweating profusely and began to speak urgently.
Taking into account the possibility of conflict, Investigator Grace not only arranged for a special forces team with heavy weapons to be lurking nearby, but also arranged for an emergency medical team to be on standby at all times.
Suzuki Maika was only shot in the throat. With modern emergency medical standards, even if her throat was cut, she could be saved as long as she was sent to the hospital in time!
"Ouch!"
But 'Suzuki Kimie' had completely lost his mind, and his roar was full of bestiality.
"Ahhh!"
Finally, someone couldn't bear the pressure anymore. He shouted to give himself courage, and the assault rifle in his hand began to spray bullets.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Clang clang clang!"
After someone opened fire first, a chain reaction occurred and other tactical teams also started shooting at the same time.
"..."
Grace opened her mouth, wanting to say something to save the situation, but gave up.
The current situation is urgent. After Suzuki Kimie went berserk, she has become like a wild beast and has completely lost the possibility of communication. If you still hold your hands and feet and dare not shoot at this time, you are not only tying yourself up in knots but also courting your own destruction!
"Free firing allowed!"
Grace pulled out her pistol, found a cover, and stuck her head out to observe the battle.
Suzuki Kimie stretched out thick octopus tentacles and wrapped her body around it, like a giant octopus ball.
The bullets were riddled with holes in the octopus' tentacles, but no one knew what was going on inside.
Several men took off their grenades and threw them.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Dust was raised by several huge explosions, but the Sailfish Squad did not dare to be careless and continued to reload and shoot forward.
Suddenly, a beam of black flash cut through the smoke and dust, blasting through several members of the Sailfish Team hiding behind the bunker along with the wall behind them.
"Boom!"
Next, black flashes were emitted one after another, and in an instant, more than half of the Sailfish Team had been killed or wounded.
