Chapter 11: Encirclement and Killing
"We have said everything we need to say. We just spend a little donation money every month, and we don't perform any rituals that violate moral laws. Moreover, the Holy Infant really did appear and bestowed elixirs. The benefits are real." A housewife argued.

"I did this for my child, who was always naughty. I hoped the Holy Child could help him come to his senses soon. My husband and children didn't believe in the Holy Child Pill I exchanged for, so I gave it to a disabled church member, and he stood up right away," another housewife sighed.

Noguchi looked through the interrogation records, pointed at the two housewives' files, and asked, "Are they the only ones with 'superpowers'?"

"There is one more, but among the people we arrested, only these two took the Holy Child Pill. This has been verified with other members. One of them gave the Holy Child Pill to another member and the other to her own son. Her son suffers from severe paranoia and only trusts his mother. Our people let him escape."

"Are there any casualties?"

"No, he didn't hurt anyone, so we didn't open fire."

Noguchi Takeshi communicated with William who had been standing next to him and confirmed that a full-body check-up of the two housewives and a non-lethal tracking of the paranoid teenager would be arranged immediately.

"Section Chief Noguchi, you said that there really is such a magical pill that can not only cure all terminal illnesses and make people younger, but also gain superhero-like powers. It's just like a science fiction movie." William said to Takeshi Noguchi with some emotion.

Noguchi shook his head. “All the gifts bestowed by fate have already been secretly marked with a price. They seem to have gained benefits, but until the dust settles, no one can tell whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. I don’t believe that these abilities are free of charge.”

William nodded without comment. "This sentence is used to describe Queen Mary. For some people, it is better to ensure that they get the gift first rather than worrying about not being able to pay the price in the future. If the news of the Holy Child Dan spreads, the attitude of the upper class towards the Holy Infant Society may not be as firm as it is now."

Noguchi's expression remained unchanged: "That is not something we can interfere with, Major William. If I am not mistaken, the report on Sheng Zidan should have appeared on the desk of His Excellency Lieutenant General. Perhaps it will appear on the desk of the commander-in-chief soon."

William shrugged and did not answer the question.

As night fell, after the two of them dealt with some matters separately, they finally received news from Kuroki Shinizumi.

She located Nakai Hayabusa's hiding place.

Under the dark night, dozens or even hundreds of ordinary cars merged into the traffic flow and drove towards a warehouse center somewhere in Tokyo Bay.

After these vehicles drove into the roads near the park, someone immediately closed the road section on the pretext of emergency repairs.

Looking down from a high altitude, all roads in the entire logistics park were cut off. All employees received orders and carried out emergency evacuation drills under the leadership of police officers.

Area after area was cleared and firing points were quickly set up.

Some police officers who were unaware of the truth thought that there were a large number of terrorists hiding in the warehouse, which was why they had to advance in such a step-by-step, interweaving firepower manner.

Inside the warehouse, there were only Nakai Hayabusa and his two assistants. After a period of brainwashing and miracle displays, these two former low-level Yakuza quickly accepted the change of identity and became members, thus obtaining the gift of the Holy Son Pill.

But unfortunately, both of them can only adapt to the [Rigid Body] capabilities.

This made Shiraishi Hang wonder whether the adaptability conditions of [Super Strength] were not so important to physical constitution.

After all, the physical fitness of these two members can be said to be the best except for the Nine Guardians, but like Sato Tomomi, they are unable to adapt to [supernatural strength] and can only temporarily gain [supernatural strength] abilities through parasitic stimulation. They are barely better than those who cannot adapt to stimulation and belong to a higher level of consumables.

Of course, the reason why Nakai Hayabusa and his two assistants stayed here was because the Holy Infant's incarnation was also here. He planned to wait until late at night and then take the incarnation to his own safe house.

He arranged the members in different places. Although he had little time to prepare, with so many years of operation, he was still able to arrange these twenty or so members with firm beliefs.

Around nine or ten o'clock, Nakai Hayabusa, who was praying every day, frowned, stopped praying, and listened attentively. The two assistants also stopped to avoid disturbing the president with their noise.

"Is it true that we haven't heard any noise for several minutes?" asked Nakai Shun.

The assistants were startled, and when they thought back, the surroundings did seem to be much quieter.

Although this is a warehouse area, it is overall located within a logistics park. Although there are no operations here at night, remote logistics work is carried out 24 hours a day.

"Protect the Holy Infant, I——"

Boom!

There was a loud bang and explosion, and the entire warehouse was engulfed in fireworks, with debris flying everywhere like rain.

"Sniper, attack all moving life forms in the warehouse." Kuroki Shinizumi gave the order at the command point outside the warehouse.

But in the raging flames, there seemed to be no other movement.

Kuroki Shinizumi was also very patient and didn't let anyone get close to him. He just waited for the fire to burn out.

Finally, a few minutes later, accompanied by two roars, two flaming figures rushed out.

In an instant, the sound of gunfire was denser than a rainstorm. The weakest firepower here was from rifles. Even the two crazy members who had temporarily activated their [Super Strength] could only barely rush to the front line, where they were shot like sieves and fell down, without a breath.

Seeing this, everyone felt relieved. It turned out that in the face of well-prepared firepower, the so-called monster was nothing more than this.

Nakai Hayabusa, who was surrounded by flames, was also helpless. His rigid body was not afraid of short-term flames, but it could not withstand the flames that kept burning. The most important things were oxygen and smoke.

Coincidentally, the Holy Infant opened his eyes at this moment.

"Lord Holy Infant, I am incompetent and have brought harm to the Holy Infant's descended body." Nakai Hayabusa said with shame on his face.

The Holy Infant shook his head, stretched out his hand, and tapped Zhongju Falcon's forehead, opening the [Regeneration] adaptation to him. Tapping the forehead was just Bai Shihang's sense of ritual.

Nakai Hayabusa only felt his whole body tremble, and a cool feeling came from the place where he had just been injured, and the injury began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I've asked the nine protectors to come here. You hold them back first and then find a chance to escape. Don't worry about my descended body. I also want to talk to the officials here." After saying that, he lay back down in the iron coffin without waiting for Nakai Hayabusa to reply.

"I will follow the Holy Infant's will!" Nakai Hayabusa breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the Holy Infant didn't blame him, the situation wouldn't be the worst. Moreover, the Nine Guardians had just come to help. When there was a riot outside, he could find a chance to escape.

However, he also had to find a way to demonstrate his own value so that the Nine Protectors would have a chance to create chaos.

He glanced around the fire, looked at the burning objects, and had an idea in his mind.
