Chapter 2232 – 2232. Gyeongseong 2033
Takeshi Takehara cried and spoke to the director-general behind him.
“Second, Superintendent. “I can’t do it.”
“… Aren’t you an expert? Does that mean you can’t do it? “Didn’t you do well with the last hostage takers?”
Takeshi Takehara was outstanding as a negotiator. The number of hostage situations he has solved alone exceeds double digits. Of course, he failed many times.
“Hostage takers must not treat hostages carelessly. A hostage is your own lifeline. But look at that lunatic! I killed a hostage because I didn’t like it! After that, eat your food calmly! Now they are forcing me to choose who to kill! This is not the mindset of a criminal. No, not the human way of thinking! That’s a psychopath! “I don’t know how to negotiate with a psychopath!”
The superintendent was embarrassed.
Is this where he gives up? Who else would try to negotiate with that crazy hostage taker?
‘If only the hostages weren’t ethnic Chinese… !’
If an ordinary imperial citizen had been taken hostage, an anti-terrorist unit would have been deployed to kill the criminal.
But the hostage is from the Chinese tribe?
That’s over 100 people?
Four people are already dead?
Of the remaining hostages, more than half are the minister’s friends?
There is also the chairman of a large company in the Japanese Empire?
There has been a report that there is also a relative of the Japanese Prime Minister?
“You and I cannot avoid responsibility. The Hwa clan is already dead, and they will blame me for their incompetence. The first person to die was Ichiro Nora. I am the chairman of Nora Railway. President Nora’s family will hold us accountable. If we are to survive… We have to save the remaining Hwa clan. Don’t you and I have families to feed? Think of your family.”
Takeshi Takehara said, biting his lip.
“… There is no information about that crazy guy! How do you negotiate without knowing the target?! “At least give me some information!”
“Korean independence Banzai. That’s what he said. According to a recently heard report… There is only one terrorist who talks nonsense in a combination of Korean and Japanese. The boxer’s hound. Seong Yu-jin. A crazy independence activist warned by the Gyeongseong Governor-General.”
“The reason I called the prime minister was…”
“I guess it’s to kill them. They firmly believe that if they kill the prime minister, Korea will become independent. Japan and Korea. Even though no one wants independence. It’s no lie that the Prime Minister is heading to the sports centre. He will just hold out until the Prime Minister arrives. 1 hour. It only takes 1 hour. At that time, the prime minister will take all responsibility.”
“… “Who among them should I save?”
Takeshi looked at the live broadcast screen. Three hostages were pleading for their lives.
-Well, I’ll give you anything! Please save me!
-Money, women, power! Just say the word! We can give it to you!
-My daughter isn’t even married yet! I will give you my daughter! Please save us! Please!
There was no nobility and elegance of nobles who lived luxurious lives. In the face of death, they cried ugly prayers and begged for their lives.
Maybe the obsession with life is stronger because you have more.
“… “Who should I kill?”
Takeshi gritted his teeth.
3 people and 1 person.
The trolley dilemma comes to mind.
If one of them was his family, he would have chosen that one without hesitation, but they were not family. Rather than three people dying, one person should die.
“Kamura. He is the weakest among the Hwa clan over there. There is no backing. “I think the Minister will understand Kamura’s death.”
Takeshi spoke into the microphone.
“I have chosen. Kamura. He is my choice.”
-Uh, really?
Bang bang bang!
The three people who were begging for their lives died. Kamura, whom he pointed out, survived.
Takeshi’s body trembled.
“Why, why did you kill them?”
-Time over.
“Three, three minutes have not passed yet! “There are about 20 seconds left!”
-2 minutes 40 seconds. If you round up, it’s 3 minutes. Who wants to be so frustrating? Ah, it’s almost the promised 15 minutes. I’m going to kill you anyway. I have to kill him first.
Tang.
108 hostages remaining.
Takeshi’s legs are already loose.

The negotiator suddenly became silent.
The original negotiator was Nego. Yes, just a little bit. Is it possible to negotiate? Wasn’t that your problem, saying things like this? I looked around, feeling a little bored.
‘The prime minister doesn’t come like that.’
I got bored with my dick, so I took one of the hostages, a young woman, stripped her, and raped her. Refusal? I have a gun in my hand. How dare you?
A video of a Chinese daughter being raped was broadcast live throughout the Japanese Empire.
-Mr. Murakano. There are hacking attempts towards the main system.
“Uh, really? I definitely should have warned you. “I killed 10 people because I felt embarrassed.”
He pointed roughly at the 10 hostages. The turret killed the hostages.
“Are hacking attempts still continuing?”
-It stopped.
“Who did it?”
-I don’t know. Due to the functionality of the main system, backtracking is not possible.
I warned the camera.
“Try hacking one more time. “At that time, 30 people will be killed.”
While having sex, hostages of similar weight class were driven into the arena and made to fight each other.
“Fight until one of you dies. If the game is not satisfactory… “I will kill you both.”
The fighting games of the Chinese people were boring. Most of them knew how to enjoy watching a battle, but they did not know how to throw a proper punch.
Two hours have passed since I started taking hostages. The hacking cooldown has ended. And there are 60 hostages remaining. As I was killing them for various reasons, before I knew it, half of them were behind.
Negotiator? He is said to have fainted. They asked me to wait until another negotiator comes… An hour passed since those words were said, but no one came forward. When a high-ranking police officer came on behalf of the negotiator, he was given the right to kill the hostage as a souvenir. When they killed about three people instead, the police remained silent.
Provoking me is more dangerous than negotiating. It seems they decided that way.
‘Why isn’t the Prime Minister who said he would come? Was it a deception? How amazing is it that you deceived me?’
Coincidentally, the cooldown period for hacking has also returned. Should we kill all the hostages and turn the city into a mess?
It was then.
Something strange happened on the monitor screen. The police armored vehicle blocking the entrance moves to make way. A black luxury sedan glided in and stopped. An old man with a strong body and good looks got out of the car.
Hisaburi Ito. The actual owner of the Japanese Empire was revealed. The guy opened his mouth. He must have been wearing a small microphone, so his voice was transmitted through communication.
“Fellow citizens! I arrived too late! In essence, it makes no sense to compromise with terrorists. However, we can do everything for all of our people. If it is to save the people of the empire… ! “This one body, I am willing to suffer dishonor!”
The Prime Minister trudged along with his eyes shining.
Japanese Empire. Although it is an empire, it cannot help but pay attention to the Japanese people. Unlike in the past, the standard of the Japanese people increased, and they realized that it was easier to govern by outwardly appreciating the people’s opinions rather than openly oppressing them.
“Murakano Katsuna! I hope you keep your word and release the remaining hostages!”
The Prime Minister of the Empire of Japan announced his death. He was a leader befitting a prime minister. Dogeza must have practiced it at least thousands of times.
“A.I. “Can you shoot the prime minister?”
-It is within turret range.
“Kill.”
-Yes.
With the artificial intelligence’s short answer, the Prime Minister’s head exploded after being hit by a bullet. The hostages who were watching gasped and screamed.
“Hey, you crazy guy. “Killing the real prime minister!”
“We’re going to kill them all too…” .”
“Ahhh… Mother…”
The quest completion message does not appear.
‘As expected, it’s a stunt double.’
Well, this was something that was predicted from the time of the hostage situation. In the original work, the Japanese prime minister was famous for using doubles. There was no way that shady person in power would come to this dangerous place.
‘The lieutenant died outright. Do you reveal yourself to have been a fake? Or do they appoint someone else and maintain power as a secret power?’
The former would be criticized, and the latter had the possibility of its power being shaken.
“How! What is the purpose?!”
Kamura stepped forward and shouted. There was also a guy like this. I aimed the rifle at his head.
“I would have told you not to go out without permission.”
“Aren’t you going to kill us all anyway? So let’s ask why! Why are you killing us, the prime minister?!”
“It is for Korea’s independence. “The possibility of independence will increase only when you, the backbone of the Japanese Empire, die.”
“Do you really think Korea wants independence?!”
“Uh.”
It’s so annoying I’m dying.
I invested in hacking, and I can’t give up here because I think the quest will be completed in just a little bit.
“Koreans won’t be happy if we become independent like this!”
Independence?
Right. The victory condition was not just killing the Prime Minister. Realizing what I had forgotten, I looked at Kamura and laughed.
“There are only two options in this world. Either the Prime Minister of the Japanese Empire falls, or Korea becomes independent. Even if Koreans do not want independence…, Even if all Koreans die… Korea must become independent.”
“… “For whom?”
“You are asking the obvious. “It’s for me.”
It was the moment I put a bullet into a guy who was annoying me.
Bang!
I was shaken by heavy drinking.
-Mr. Murakano. Sports center is attacked…
Bang.
Heavy drinking breaks out again.
‘It’s not a bomb… Is it a cannonball? Did you target the main stem thread first?’
The automatic turret has been disabled. The video that was being broadcast throughout the Japanese Empire was also cut off.
Quaaaaang! The ceiling started to collapse. The hostages were crushed to death by rubble as they fled. It seems that the prime minister has made a decision to get rid of me along with the Chinese people.
I glared at the ceiling, dodging the collapsing debris. I saw shadows moving through the cracks in the broken ceiling. The shadow soon jumped down through the broken ceiling. Special forces wearing masks on their faces and armed with pistols and knives. When I saw the 10 people who resembled ninjas, I could immediately identify them.
‘Secret unit directly under the Prime Minister. Human weapons that have received all kinds of training since childhood. Those who appeared at the end of the original work and killed Widow.’
I fired my rifle at those who had fallen. Their bodies seemed to vibrate quickly, and they narrowly avoided the bullets. Then he fires back at me with a pistol. I avoided the bullet by using acceleration.
They fell to the floor and stood up. Even though he jumped from a height of over 10 meters, he shows no signs of pain. Thoroughly trained, top-level reinforced humans.
“Are you also Sandevistan?”
She asked confidently. Dodging bullets by falling from the air? It was impossible unless you were a skilled acceleration expert.
“…”
Instead of remaining silent, they rushed at me with swords in hand.
