Tokyo, 1st District, Seiju.

If the ruins when Fang Zheng first came here showed the corruption of this world, then the towering white building in front of him represented the most prosperous part of this world. Fang Zheng got out of the car and looked at the white building in front of him. This was the seat of the ruler of Tokyo, the Holy Son of Heaven.

However, such prosperity is also built on equal grounds of sin.

Fang Zheng walked into the Holy Residence with a smile on his face, led by his servant. After passing through corridors that were long enough to make one lost and elevators that were tiresome to walk in, he finally arrived in front of a huge door.

"Come in."

The servant in front of him lowered his head and respectfully opened the door, while Fang Zheng walked into the room.

This was a rather luxurious reception room. In front of Fang Zheng, a young girl with skin as white as snow, silver hair, and wearing a wedding-like dress was sitting there quietly. Behind her stood an old man with white hair and beard, a serious face, and wearing a kimono.

When Fang Zheng walked in, they both raised their heads and looked at him. Then, the girl in pure white smiled slightly and made a gesture to Fang Zheng.

"Hello, Mr. Fang Zheng, I am the head of state of the Tokyo region, the Holy Emperor, and I am very happy to meet you."

"I'm Fang Zheng...it seems like both of you know my name."

Facing the greeting from the Holy Emperor, Fang Zheng nodded, and then he sat on the sofa opposite the girl, smiling, carefully looking at the girl in front of him who looked less than 20 years old, but was already the head of a special zone. Fang Zheng didn't know much about the Holy Emperor, but only got some information from magazines. He knew that the Holy Emperor inherited the throne after the death of his predecessor, and had an overwhelming support rate due to his beauty and excellent political skills. However, these were all boasts in the magazines. Fang Zheng still planned to make a decision after reading the real situation himself.

"I have heard rumors about you and Tiandao Palace a long time ago."

This girl seemed to be someone who really liked to take the initiative in starting a conversation. As soon as Fang Zheng sat down, she started talking.

"I personally admire your actions. It is not easy to provide shelter for those 'cursed children'..."

"Thank you for the compliment, but let's get down to business."

If it were someone else, they might have been flattered by the praise of such a beautiful girl, but Fang Zheng didn't feel anything. He interrupted Saint Emperor's words with a polite smile and got straight to the point.

"You didn't invite me here for this, Miss Sheng Tianzi. If I remember correctly, our Tiandao Palace doesn't seem to be under the jurisdiction of the Tokyo Special District, so... can you please not waste time?"

"……terribly sorry."

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Saint Emperor's expression changed slightly. Just as Fang Zheng said, what she said before, in addition to expressing approval of Fang Zheng's behavior, also had the intention of distinguishing the superior and subordinate positions of both parties. However, Fang Zheng obviously didn't buy her trick and interrupted her speech directly, which made the girl's expression a little stiff, but she quickly returned to normal.

"Since you said so, Mr. Fang Zheng, I am sorry to be rude. I think you must have heard about the police system..."

"If you're talking about the idea proposed by those idiots at IISO, I know that, and I rejected it."

Fang Zheng waved his hand, interrupting the Holy Emperor once again.

"Let ordinary people partner with the 'Cursed Child' to deal with the protogastrics? What a stupid idea. Look at who they chose. For IISO, it doesn't matter who partners with the 'Cursed Child'. Fugitives, gangsters, criminals... What good will come of such people partnering with the 'Cursed Child'? Sorry, I don't think it's the right choice to expose those children to criminals. In Tiandao Palace, they don't have to worry about being bullied, let alone being intimidated and scolded. I really can't understand why I should push those children who have finally climbed out of the fire pit back into hell. Can you give me a reason?"

"But……"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Saint Emperor frowned, clenched her hands, and looked at Fang Zheng anxiously.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, I admit that the plight of many 'cursed children' is pitiful, but we must protect the safety of the entire Tokyo. The Self-Defense Forces are currently understaffed, and ordinary people are attacked by protostomes every day. We are already stretched to the limit in terms of manpower. The police system may have flaws, but it can help us fill in the gaps. After all, those ordinary citizens are innocent..."

"'Cursed Child'... is pitiful?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and stared at the girl in front of him. For some reason, at this moment, the Holy Emperor and the old man behind her suddenly felt a strong fear erupt from deep in their hearts. For a moment, she even felt her legs go weak. If she hadn't been sitting on the sofa, she would have fallen to the ground.

"That's true."

Looking at the pale face of the Holy Emperor, Fang Zheng smiled slightly.

"To a princess like you who is so high and mighty, those children are just very 'pitiful'... Well, speaking of which, I haven't given you any gift yet, which is not in accordance with etiquette..."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng felt in his pocket, took out a small object and threw it over. The small thing flew through the air and landed on the table in front of the Holy Emperor with a "click".

"Is this... a memory card?"

Looking at the black memory card in front of her, Saint Emperor was a little dazed. She looked at Fang Zheng, wondering what the other party meant by giving her this thing.

"This is a collection I got from some ordinary citizens in the Tokyo area... Well, I suggest that Miss Sheng Tianzi, you should find a place to take a look at it privately now, and then we can discuss the next topic."

"this……"

Faced with Fang Zheng's unexpected request, Saint Emperor was a little stunned, but she still hesitated for a moment, reached out to pick up the memory card, and then stood up.

"Well, please excuse me for a moment."

Although she felt a little uneasy, Saint Tianzi still took the memory card and temporarily left the reception room and returned to her room. She skillfully turned on the screen and computer, and then inserted the memory card. Soon, a picture appeared on the screen in front of Saint Tianzi.

"Is this... a video recorded by a camera?"

Seeing a middle-aged man who looked like a repairman appear on the screen, Saint Tianzi was a little stunned. She didn't understand why Fang Zheng wanted to show her this. But she still watched it patiently.

"It's Wednesday, the weather is fine, and there are no customers today. It's terrible!"

This uncle seemed to have the habit of recording his diary through portraits. He said a few words to the camera with a sad face, then turned around and walked deep into the warehouse, then turned on the light.

“——!!”

The moment he saw clearly the "object" shining under the electric light, the Holy Emperor covered his mouth and almost cried out.

I saw a "cursed child" who was only about five or six years old, tied up with iron chains in the repair area, with unhealed cuts all over her body. Blood was dripping from them, and flies were flying around her.

"It stinks! It's getting stinkier and stinkier, but why aren't you dead yet?"

The repairman walked forward and looked at the "cursed child" with disgust. Then he pulled out a small iron steel knife from the plate beside him and stabbed it into the body of the "cursed child" with force.

"It's all your fault! If it weren't for you monsters! My wife wouldn't have died! Taro wouldn't have died! You monsters! Monsters! Go to hell! It's all your fault. I don't even have a business! Damn it! Damn it!!"

While roaring, the uncle frantically stabbed the knife in his hand into the girl's body, leaving cuts one after another, and the only thing the girl could do was to make an indistinct moan. At this moment, the camera shook, and then a hand stretched out.

"Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute!"

Did someone finally come out to stop it?

Hearing this voice, the Holy Emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, her heart instantly turned cold.

"I paid for it, it's my turn now!"

"Oh, sorry sorry."

Hearing this voice, the repairman faced the camera and smiled apologetically. Then he walked over and took the camera. Soon, another man appeared on the screen. He was holding a baseball bat full of nails. He faced the camera and smiled.

"See, dear? I'm going to kill this monster right now and avenge you!"

"Bang!!"

As he spoke, the man raised the bat and hit the girl's face hard, instantly making her face bloody. But he seemed unmoved, just raised the bat and hit her again and again.

"It's all your fault! You are the ones who caused this! You protostomes! You all deserve to die! Give me back my wife! Give me back my unborn child!!"

“Boom boom boom!!!”

The man hit the girl on the head with the bat again and again until the bat broke with a "click". He then stopped and stepped back to catch his breath, spitting at the girl.

"Damn it, this thing won't die."

"Don't worry, it won't die. This monster is very durable. You have reserved it for an hour today, so you can enjoy it slowly."

“Ooooo…!”

Hearing this, the Holy Son of Heaven reached out his hand and covered his mouth. He stared at the scene on the screen with wide eyes, unable to believe it. But at this moment, the screen changed, and a completely different scene appeared. On the screen, another cursed child was tied to a pillar, twisting her body desperately and crying loudly.

“Mom!! Mom!!”

Around her, a group of white-collar workers and people in student uniforms were watching her.

"Hahaha, look, this monster can actually call for mommy."

"Where is her mother from!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

“Save me, Mom…!!”

"Shut up!!"

Soon, a student stepped forward and stepped hard on the girl's face.

"My home was destroyed because of you gastrula animals, you damn monsters!!"

"Kill her! Let this monster also taste our pain!"

"Use this, use this!"

Soon, one of the old men excitedly raised the bottle in his hand, then turned it upside down and inserted it directly into the girl's body.

“Aaaaaaaaaa——!!!”

Along with the girl's shrill screams, the onlookers laughed happily again. It was a smile full of happiness, joy and happiness.

"This is not over yet, watch me."

Soon, another man came up, spat on his hands twice, then picked up the hammer next to him and looked at the girl in front of him with a smile.

"Die, monster!!"

While shouting, the man raised the hammer in his hand high and smashed it hard on the wine bottle inserted into the girl's body.

“——Ugh——!!!”

At this moment, Saint Tianzi finally couldn't hold it in any longer. She almost ran into the bathroom and vomited. The scenes just now seemed to flash back in her mind with blood, so that Saint Tianzi didn't even remember how she got back to the reception room. She only knew that when she felt the soft touch of the sofa under her again, she seemed to finally come to her senses.

Opposite her, Fang Zheng was staring at the pale-faced girl in front of him.

"Now, please tell me, Miss Sheng Tianzi, do those 'ordinary citizens' you mentioned have the qualifications to be protected?"
