Chapter 79 Bloody Ice Festival! (2)(1/2)
Chapter 79 Bloody Ice and Snow Festival! (2)
No one knows when the chaos started.
But when everything really broke out, it was like a mighty tide that swept through the entire school at an extremely fast speed.
Everything is so sudden!
Everyone immersed in the festive atmosphere of the Ice and Snow Festival was caught off guard, and panic and fright spread like a tide.
Chiyoda Ward.
In front of the Metropolitan Police Department's main department.
The sound of sirens and the flashing of red and blue flashlights merged into one. Tsukada, the captain of the first division of the third investigation team, stood in front with a gloomy expression.
"Those guys actually attacked the academy! What's the situation now?"
A deputy immediately reported next to him, "I don't know yet, but there have been no terrorist bombings in the academy yet. Those guys seemed to have hijacked the students and entered the room."
"Hijacking the academy?" Mick Gioia, who was standing nearby with a straight posture and a sharp brow, also changed his face when he heard this.
This group of people in New Tokyo had committed unscrupulous destruction every time before, and were extremely terrifying and dangerous elements, but this time they actually kidnapped the students of the academy without taking action.
That obviously meant something else.
Is it this group of people?
Is their goal really to assassinate the man behind the dragonfly mask of Congressman Hope?
But why is it such a coincidence?
As soon as he was ordered to investigate the assassination case from Beijing, pirates immediately followed him from the West Sea and arrived in New Tokyo in a crazy and heinous way to investigate simultaneously with him.
Mick Gioia has wondered more than once these days whether there might be another "dark chess" arranged by the Nine Families hiding in the dark in Shangjing.
Living in a place like the Adjudication Division, and often dealing with high-level officials in the world government, he knew very well how those big shots handled things, and he paid attention to every detail.
In order to achieve their goals, whether it is the Adjudication Division, pirates or the revolutionary army resisting the World Government, they may become their pawns.
But he still held on to a glimmer of hope.
Relying on his position in the Adjudication Department and his always impartial prestige, after taking over this case, the behemoths of the Nine Families lurking in the shadows chose to stand aside and let him solve this offense of human beings against heaven and humans alone.
As for the pirates from the West Sea in New Tokyo,
Maybe there are other purposes
But obviously, judging from today's situation, his glimmer of hope was dashed.
Maybe he shouldn't have had his hopes up in the first place.
Thinking of this, this man, who is known as the strongest hybrid in the Judgment Department, a quasi-great swordsman below the eighth level, and the successor to the Eleventh Judgment of the Judgment Department, regained his chaotic thoughts.
He stood with his hands behind his back indifferently, and his falcon-like eyebrows were full of killing intent like an unsheathed sword.
"I'll go too."
Just as everyone from the Metropolitan Police Department got into the car and rushed to the chaotic scene, Mick Gioia suddenly spoke.
"Ah? That's it. That's of course the best." The commander of the rescue operation, Captain Tsukada Masaru of the First Division, said after hearing this, he was stunned for two seconds.
Logically speaking, Mick Gioia is a member of the special investigation team sent by the Judgment Department of the World Government to handle the assassination case of Councilor Hope. Cases such as the school hijacking within Wano Country actually have nothing to do with him.
.
However, in connection with the recent series of vicious terrorist incidents, Tsukada Masaya thought of something and guessed that the special correspondent from Shangjing next to him was probably trying to lure the snake out of its hole.
He frowned and couldn't help but remind him, "Judge Gioia, please put the safety of the students first in this operation."
Mick Gioia was not a fool, and of course he understood what the other party meant. He nodded indifferently, feeling an unprecedented humiliation in his heart.
This sense of humiliation does not come from Tsukada Masaru,
But those big shots from Shangjing
fair enough.
Then let him see today who, besides him, has the qualifications to come to Tokyo with him and become his secret "cover" for the investigation of this assassination case.
Go back half an hour.
At 9:30 in the morning, the festive atmosphere of the Snow Festival at Takehara Minami Private Academy became more and more intense.
Even though the distinguished guests from outside the school have not yet entered the campus, the performances of some popular clubs and top student classes have attracted countless students to stop and watch.
Of the many ice and snow festival performances in the academy this morning, the most eye-catching was naturally the program performed by members of the Trinity Club in the luxurious Trinity Hall in the academy.
On the stage of the Trinity Guild Hall, after several warm-up performances by members of the Trinity Guild, a girl wearing a white strapless dress and holding a gilt bone fan walked gracefully.
Go on stage and sit next to an extremely expensive-looking ebony grand piano.
The moment she gently put down the folding fan in her hand, she immediately became the focus of the entire hall, seemingly brighter than the luxurious chandelier in the middle of the hall.
Many boys in the audience couldn't help but lean forward slightly to attract all their attention. Apart from being ashamed of themselves, they couldn't think much about it.
The girl sitting next to the piano on the stage does not belong to the Xiaojiabiyu girl-next-door type.
Not to mention the astonishing family background of the person behind him who ranks among the top ten in New Tokyo, the school status and ability level of the current president of the Trinity Association alone are enough to make countless young boys kill their unrealistic youth.
fantasy.
She is Phoenix-in Kaguya, the contemporary eldest daughter of the Phoenix-in family, the leader of Takehara Minami's Class A in the third year, and the current president of the Trinity Association.
Piano playing is a three-in-one performing art of emotion, technique and power.
The moment Hohoin Kaguya sat down, the expression on her face as she turned to the audience looked as if the audience did not exist, and this was just a simple exercise in her garden at home.
Without much preparation, her fingers landed on the black and white keys across time and space astonishingly. Her whole body's strength and emotions were instantly transmitted to every audience through the high-spirited notes that surged out of the black and white keys as her fingers fell rapidly.
in the mind.
"The Tempest on the Devil's Sea"
This is the name of the piano piece she plays.
In the prelude of just ten seconds, everyone in the club suddenly felt as if they were on the Black Sea under a storm, with huge waves hitting them from time to time.
In fact, the reason why Hohoin Kaguya was able to perform this piano piece so perfectly was naturally due to the extraordinary skills she had cultivated since she was a child.
On the other hand, it comes from her innate ability [Psychic Piercing], a spiritual ability with talent sequence 39.
Emotional transplantation can perfectly convey one's own emotions to influence others, and this is only the most basic ability of [Psychic Piercing] at the current ability level.
Others such as thought elimination, will amplification, mental control, and even memory reading, etc. are all things that can be easily accomplished as the ability level of this talent increases.
It is worth mentioning that the high-level ability of this talent is the high-risk ability [Listening], which ranks 28th in the talent sequence. Currently, the only person in charge of Takehara Minami Academy is the special admissions student Miria Nishimaru.
At some point, the stormy playing on the stage finally came to an end.
Many people at the scene were in ups and downs with the piano music, and the nervous people slowly came back to their senses. Many students who were also mental ability users had thoughtful looks on their faces.
Although the piano performance by Phoenix Institute Kaguya was very impressive, it still gave them a lot of inspiration. They couldn't help but secretly lament that the Trinity Society is the Trinity Society after all, and the tickets for this performance were not in vain.
But just when the piano music on the stage was about to come to an end, without warning, a very sudden burst of applause came from the corner of the performance venue.
Phoenix-in Kaguya didn't raise his head, and continued to finish the performance unhurriedly, but everyone in the audience turned their heads with unhappy expressions.
What leaped into view was a tall, muscular man with a pair of amber sunglasses on his nose, a brown woolen coat on his upper body, sky blue nine-point pants, and black pointed-toe shoes.
With a cigar in his mouth, he stood up like no one else, with a faint smile on his lips and walked up the aisle towards Kaguya of the Phoenix Academy on the stage.
A Trinity member responsible for maintaining order at the scene frowned.
"who is he?"
"I don't know, he doesn't look like he's from the academy."
"Anyone from outside the school? The Trinity Hall is not open to the public yet, right?"
"No matter who he is, don't let him go forward."
Soon, two boys wearing Trinity uniforms walked up and stood in front of the man like door gods, blocking his way forward.
The other people sitting around couldn't help but snicker inwardly when they saw this. They dared to cause trouble on the territory of Takehara Minami Trinity Association. This person was probably in the wrong place today.
However, the next second,
A shocking scene appeared.
The two boys standing in front of the man met each other's eyes at the moment.
The words he wanted to say suddenly swallowed down. Inexplicable fear enveloped his heart, and his whole body trembled and stood there.
"Ah"
The man in the woolen coat chuckled.
He patted the shoulders of the two men in front of him, and the two boys immediately made way for him, and he walked onto the piano solo stage in full view of everyone.
The moment he walked onto the stage, the last note of the piano piece "The Tempest on the Devil's Sea" fell with Kaguya Hohoin raising her hand.
It was only then that Kaguya of the Phoenix Academy picked up the gilt bone fan placed at hand, squinted slightly and looked at the strangely dressed man in front of him and his two subordinates who were frozen in place.
Those who come are not good.
