Anime: Desolate Darkness

After the battle at the ruins of Shibuya, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was forced to gather its troops again to discuss whether to continue attacking the Titans.

Unlike ordinary people, they received more comprehensive information. For example, the initial conversation between Mephisto and the Barbarian last night was recorded by an engineering recorder at the construction site.

Many workers also clearly remember the first words uttered by the Barbar alien when he removed his disguise, "I just came to see the scenic spot I created with my own hands, you guys are really in the way."

Based on the description of the battle by member of the [Monster Force] Izumi Hina, it has been confirmed that the "giants slaughtering humans" incident most likely has nothing to do with giants.

But the problem is that they had previously launched an attack on Nexus at Sobu High School.

Fearing that the other side might hold a grudge, many people felt that they should continue to treat the giants as the enemy.

After all, no matter what, this kind of existence with unknown origin and extremely powerful strength should be completely eliminated. No one can guarantee that if they really attack humans one day, can humans react in time and stop them?

"But! Didn't that giant save one of my team members despite past grudges?!"

Ikeda stared at everyone with wide eyes, his voice unconsciously rising an octave, his heart filled with confusion and anger.

Faced with mountains of solid evidence before them, these people still insisted on implementing a cruel extermination plan against innocent giants.

Kawashima frowned, gripped the pen tightly in his hand, and then slammed the pen hard on the table, making a crisp and loud impact sound, and the entire conference room instantly became silent.

Feeling the surprised looks from all around, Kawashima took a deep breath and said calmly, "Captain Ikeda, how can you be so sure that this is not a conspiracy carefully planned by the giants? Maybe all this is a trap set by them, the purpose is to make us let down our guard."

After a pause, Kawashima continued his impassioned speech: "Think about it, the fact that giants can defeat those ferocious monsters shows that they possess unimaginable strength and potential threats, doesn't it?" As he spoke, he gestured with his hands, trying to make his point more persuasive.

"It's hard not to find it incredible that these powerful giants, after being attacked by the humans they were protecting, still expressed friendliness and kindness to us." Kawashima looked around with sharp and determined eyes.

Finally, he posed a thought-provoking question: "Assuming they really have no ulterior motive, then what is the motivation for them to act this way?"

"Therefore, in my opinion, the plan to eradicate the giants must not be rescinded."

"Of course, they haven't revealed their true colors yet. They appear willing to help us. So in order not to affect the situation, we can temporarily pretend to accept them and continue to conduct research on targeted weapons in secret."

"When we have weapons that can defeat them, we will take advantage of their unpreparedness and destroy them."

He spoke in a logical manner, and unknowingly turned the argument that the giant might have ulterior motives into a certainty.

Ikeda looked at him angrily, but he couldn't refute what he said.

Many people think that what Kawashima said makes sense. Since they have done it, they should stick to it. The giants are all outsiders and they must be eliminated as long as they have the ability.

At this time, almost everyone turned their attention to Director Bei Qi. They wanted to see what this conservative leader would say.

But to all of their surprise, Bei Qi just fiddled with the pen in his hand with an expressionless face and said nothing, as if the entire meeting had nothing to do with him.

Seeing this, Zhu Yachun asked directly, "Director Beiqi, what do you think?"

Bei Qi stopped what he was doing, slowly raised his head, and replied calmly, "I think what Kawashima said makes sense."

These words came like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone present, even Kawashima was surprised.

What exactly is going on?

Director Beiqi, who always stood on the side of the giant, did not refute this time, but gladly accepted the plan to destroy the giant! ?

"Director, what are you doing?" Ikeda looked at him in disbelief.

"Say less." Bei Qi turned around and reminded him, then turned to the crowd again, "You don't need to pay attention to us, just continue."

Everyone was confused by Bei Qi's abnormal behavior. After a long silence, they resumed the discussion.

Because most people agreed and there were no dissenting voices, the meeting did not last long and ended in just one hour.

After leaving the Metropolitan Police Department, Bei Qi, accompanied by her secretary, went to a high-end restaurant for lunch.

In the quiet private room, the food had not yet been served when suddenly, a slight noise was heard - the door was pushed open.

A fully armed man wearing a black coat, a dark hat, black sunglasses and a mask on his face walked in, instantly breaking the original quiet atmosphere between Bei Qi and the secretary.

Facing this unexpected guest, Bei Qi did not show any surprise and remained calm. However, the secretary beside him stood up suddenly as if facing a great enemy, stared at the other person with his eyes, and reached for his trouser pocket as quickly as possible, shouting: "Who are you?"

The visitor's eyes quickly swept across the secretary's pocket, and with his keen insight he noticed the obvious bulge in the pocket, knowing that there must be a pistol hidden there.

However, he was not afraid of this, but turned his gaze to Bei Qi calmly.

At this time, Bei Qi said, "Okay, Fangzi, you go out first. I need to talk to him alone."

Hearing this, Fangzi immediately stopped her actions.

After all, as someone who follows the director, her IQ is not low. She immediately realized that the strangely dressed man in front of her must be acquainted with Bei Qi.

No wonder the director specifically asked to eat at this restaurant...

Fangzi nodded without hesitation and walked towards the door. When she passed by the man in black, she even nodded slightly.

After Fangzi went out and closed the door again, the man in black started to move. He walked to the seat on Beiqi's left and sat down.

He took off his hat, sunglasses and mask, revealing his true face.

And this person turned out to be the middle-aged man that Kimura Takumi was looking for!

"How have you been lately?" Kurokawa Ren broke the silence and asked first.

Bei Qi sighed softly and replied calmly, "It's just so-so." He paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to the person next to him and asked, "What about you?"

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Heichuan Lian's mouth, and he said helplessly: "With my ability, do you think I will wrong myself?"

"That's true." Bei Qi nodded in agreement.

However, for some reason, the two of them seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding and no one spoke anymore.

The whole room suddenly fell into an eerie silence. Even the sound of the wind outside the window became exceptionally clear and loud, as if it could penetrate the heavy atmosphere and strike people's hearts.
