Anime: Desolate Darkness

Regarding this matter, Sakura’s top management held another emergency meeting.

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Headquarters.

meeting room.

The atmosphere inside was extremely solemn, as if shrouded by an invisible haze.

The list of people present was the same as last time. They sat together in silence, and everyone's face was as heavy as leaden clouds.

The big screen was playing scenes of "Mephistopheles" slaughtering humans. It was bloody and cruel, and every frame deeply hurt people's eyes and impacted their hearts.

Shock and fear were mixed on many people's faces, and they found it hard to accept the tragic situation suffered by their compatriots in the video.

But it must be said that some people think that Mephisto's appearance and his murder and arson are very reasonable...

After the video ended, Kawashima showed a teasing sneer on his face, and looked at the director of the Monster Forces, Bei Qi, without any hesitation, and asked, "Director Bei Qi, do you have anything to say now?"

Everyone looked over, waiting for Bei Qi's reply.

From now on, every word he says may affect the future of the country and even mankind.

After a long silence, Bei Qi opened his tightly closed eyes and said, "I personally think that something is fishy."

His eyes were sharp and his tone was firm.

Most people were confused by his answer. Mephistopheles killed people openly, so what could be so strange about this matter?

Kawashima was almost laughing out of anger. He shook his head and looked at Beiqi playfully, "Are you kidding?"

"Do I look like I'm kidding?" Bei Qi asked back.

Boom!

Kawashima slammed the table twice, stood up and pointed at him and yelled, "Are you kidding me?!

Are you blind?! People are dead! Thousands of people died!

The whole world saw that it was that giant who was slaughtering humans! And you are still protecting it?"

Under normal circumstances, shouting is not allowed in this kind of situation, but in the current situation, everyone chose to accept it.

There were more and more questioning looks, but Beiqi's face did not show any strangeness and remained calm.

"I'm not defending Him. I'm just speaking the truth."

"How can you say that we are discussing the matter objectively? The real discussion is that it killed and destroyed people in broad daylight and in full view of everyone!" Kawashima expressed his own opinion, "We should not have expected unknown creatures from the beginning. Outsiders are always outsiders. We should eliminate them all!"

Most people nodded, as if they agreed with what he said.

Bei Qi did not give up yet and asked again:

"But He had been protecting humans before, and now He suddenly attacks. Don't you think it's too strange?"

Kawashima waved his hand and said, "I don't care if it has its own reasons or not, I just know that it killed people! This is a fact!"

He had been suppressed by the opponent before, and now he finally had a chance to turn the tables. How could Kawashima let the opponent go easily?

The two sides were arguing, and someone suddenly interrupted.

"Director Beiqi, this time, you really should think carefully about it."

An old man over fifty years old said solemnly.

Everyone present was shocked by the old man's words, not because of his high status, but because he was on the conservative side.

Noticing that many strange gazes were focused on him, the old man did not get nervous and continued, "This incident has a huge impact. If we do nothing, it will be difficult to calm the people."

"I'm sorry, Director Beiqi, I can't continue to play around with you this time."

His words were like sharp swords, piercing deep into the heart of every [conservative].

Bei Qi did not continue to refute. As if he had accepted his fate, he closed his eyes again.

As the leader of the Conservatives, this move of his undoubtedly shook the morale of the faction.

Many [conservative] people bowed their heads because of this.

Seeing this, Kawashima had a smile of victory on his face.

The incident was so bad that the [conservative] leaders compromised, and naturally the other members would not say anything more.

But for the sake of fairness, the process still has to be followed.

At the main seat, a burly middle-aged man wearing a black suit, square-framed glasses and a serious face broke the silence, "As usual, let's vote on whether to include the giants in the enemy list."

He is the highest-ranking official at the Metropolitan Police Department Headquarters, the Police Commissioner General - Take Masaharu.

If it were before, he might not have the courage to include the giant in the attack list.

But things are different now. They have successfully developed a powerful laser cannon that is as powerful as the red giant's beam.

Of course, the so-called "on par" is a bit exaggerated, and its actual power is only one twentieth of [Cascading Light - Storm].

But they still proudly named it [E1 ray], after all, it represents a major step forward in their scientific research technology.

And all these achievements were attributed to Nexus' "heroic act" in his first battle.

At that time, she used [Layered Light - Storm] to destroy two super beasts in one fell swoop, showing her unparalleled power.

When government personnel subsequently monitored the area for residual radioactive elements, they obtained a large amount of valuable data.

Of course, based on these data alone, it is simply a pipe dream to want to completely copy other people's lighting technology.

Even if they added the radioactive energy data of the [Mixed Hell Hurricane] obtained in the meteorite crater a few days ago, they could only create a weapon with less than 10% of its power at most.

But no matter what, in his opinion, as long as the [E1 Ray] device can be mass-produced and installed on every fighter and even armored vehicle, the gap in quality can be eliminated by quantity, and giants and monsters can definitely be destroyed.

"Then, please raise your hands if you agree to list the Titans as enemies. Otherwise, just keep silent."

After saying that, Zhu Yachun was the first to raise his right hand to express his position.

Soon, everyone raised their hands except Bei Qi, who remained silent.

Kawashima took advantage of the situation and joked, "Director Beiqi, what do you mean by this?"

Bei Qi glanced at him, then quickly looked away and explained calmly, "The minority obeys the majority. The result is already out. It shouldn't matter whether I raise my hand or not."

Kawashima was very proud and said with a smile, "So that's how it is. I thought Director Beiqi was going to have a debate with the scholars this time."

"Okay, stop talking." Zhu Yachun sternly stopped Kawashima's behavior, then turned to Beiqi and said solemnly, "Now that the result is out, I hope you can arrange your troops and try to deal a heavy blow to the giant the next time it appears, and it would be best if you can destroy it."

"Regarding the development of the [E1 Ray], I will help you assign more people and try to equip all fighters with it this month."

……

An hour later, the meeting ended.

Outside the Metropolitan Police Department.

Accompanied by her secretary, Bei Qi prepared to get in the car and return to the [Monster Force] base.

At this moment, Ikeda, who had been silent from beginning to end, suddenly spoke up, "Director, are we really going to launch an attack on the Titans?"

Bei Qi turned her head and looked at him, and saw the struggle in his pupils.

“Sometimes, what people want is not necessarily the truth.”

A trace of helplessness flashed across Bei Qi's eyes. He answered the question irrelevantly, left a confusing remark, and got into the car and left.

Ikeda stood there in a daze, the words echoing in his mind, and he repeated them subconsciously, "Don't you need the truth?"
