Chapter 18: Mall Bombing

The mall was in chaos after the bomber was discovered, but suddenly most of the power was cut off, and a large area fell into darkness.

Without the sound of electronic products, the noise from people suddenly exploding in panic was even louder.

Until a strange radio voice sounded.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

The protagonist coughed violently as if he was going to cough out his lungs. The hoarse voice of the young man was not pleasant to hear, but rather rough and ear-piercing, and his tone was so calm that it was creepy.

"Hello, hello? Can you hear me?"

"Hello everyone, I'm Nimachi Shigenori. Don't worry, I don't like noisy environments... No one takes my words to heart? Okay, okay, you should understand, I hate this."

The specially designed entrance and exit of this newly opened shopping mall exploded, and debris flew in the flames. Those caught in the explosion either disappeared in it or were blown away, and it was unknown whether they were alive or dead.

"Now everyone should be able to concentrate on listening to me, right?"

When this voice still came out of the loudspeaker quietly, even the crying of children was covered up by adults. The customers trapped in the mall were afraid of this devil, fearing to anger him again.

Zhu Fu Jingguang, who had already cleverly gotten rid of the crowd and was about to leave through another passage with the players, suddenly looked fierce and turned back to the mall.

The player ran back and was about to ask what was going on, but Zhufu Jingguang put his finger in front of his lips, signaling him to be quiet, and pointed at the speaker.

The players understood that the plot was about to progress.

Nimachi Shigenori tapped the table lightly, as if thinking, "Where should I start? I think everyone has heard of urban legends, such as the disappearance of a god."

"It's strange. I went through something similar and was suddenly forgotten by everyone. I'm such an excellent person, I should never be forgotten, right?"

"If it were just that, it would be fine. My renewed radiance would only be brighter. However, six months ago, I was diagnosed with a terminal illness during a physical examination."

"The doctor said you only have one year left to live. It's unbelievable, and I've only just now accepted this fact and decided to leave my glory behind."

"I'm rich, and I have the means to get things. If you police officers out there check, you should be able to find out that all my property has been sold, and now it's here, in the form of bombs."

"Forget about the bomber Jyouno Hisaji and remember the name Nimachi Shigenori."

"From now on, you are only allowed to enter but not leave. If anyone dares to leave, I will randomly select some of the remaining people to go to hell."

"Mr. Policeman, you will also help me to maintain my rules, right? Otherwise, they will all be killed by you, okay?"

Amid Nimachi Shigenori's extremely malicious laughter, as people continued to flee out of the passage, several explosions occurred in the mall like a series of artillery fire, and even the entrance to the passage was blown down to only one.

Jinpei Matsuda, who rushed to the scene, had a gloomy expression on his face. He greeted Inspector Megure and walked into the mall, passing the flustered policemen.

Officer Megure quickly stopped him: "What are you going to do?!"

"Dismantle the bomb and catch the criminal." Matsuda Jinpei said calmly, "The police report said it was Jyouno Hisaji, and now another bastard has come. When they meet, will they use this place as a stage to compete to see whose bomb is more powerful?"

He waved, said nothing more, and went in with the other policemen.

In addition to him and the other police officers who entered, there was another group of people who wanted to enter the mall. They were Toru Amuro, Dai Moroboshi, and some members of the Black Organization's action team who were transferred by Gin.

The path they took was not the normal entrance or exit.

Inside the mall, besides Morobu Kagemitsu who is ready to catch the criminal and the players following him, there are also three elementary school students.

Mao Lilan, Suzuki Sonoko, and Kudo Shinichi, who are in the sixth grade of elementary school and came to the mall today to pick out birthday gifts for their classmates, never expected to encounter such a thing.

The malicious threats from Nimachi Shigenori made some people afraid to move, while others wanted to escape from this deadly place even more frantically.

As a result, two more explosions occurred within a short period of time, and half of the shopping mall was turned into ruins filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Based on Kudo Shinichi's knowledge, they were hiding away from the explosion point. But this was not going to work, as Nimachi Shigenori had too many bombs, and the entire mall would be razed to the ground.

If they ran out, they would not be able to squeeze through the crowd, and Kudo Shinichi was also afraid that the last exit would be blown up, so if they stayed there they would only wait for death.

Kudo Shinichi said with a serious expression, "The police have come in to investigate, but they are too obvious. Nimachi Shigenori can see the surveillance and will definitely pay special attention to them."

"But he's not going to be on guard against three elementary school kids running around."
