Chapter 90: A Rapid Downfall
Chapter 90: A Rapid Downfall
Isn't someone who keeps trying always stronger than giving up completely?
Upon hearing the female police officer's sincere yet determined words, Leon couldn't help but use the soul vision of the Black Sheep to observe her soul's condition.
The bright white soul, though slightly irritable and stubborn, was a little dazzling, but it was also persistently burning and pulsating with intense fervor.
It was like a newly lit small flame, striving to radiate heat to its surroundings, attempting to bring a little warmth to the world around it with its still-immature glow.
Unfortunately, the closest soul to her at this moment was not a fragile soul yearning for warmth, but a raging, cold flame in dire need of release.
...
This person... will surely become an obstacle in our path! Although she knew this deduction was absurd, looking into the female police officer's eyes, the female prisoner couldn't help but think this.
It was in human nature to seek stability and self-deception, even if one was currently in pain; as long as there was hope for the future, most people would not seek change.
Only those who had experienced the deepest despair, pushed to the brink, would truly let go of all inhibitions and be determined to take revenge on everything that had wronged them. So...
You're a good police officer, but you're also our enemy! Listening to the earnest pleas of "Please believe me one more time" and "I will get to the bottom of this," the female prisoner's eyes did not soften; instead, they became sharper with each promise.
Just as the leader said, the arrival of the "New World" that everyone yearns for is not up to us; it depends on how fast the entire kingdom rots!
Only by thoroughly stirring up the country's festering sores, even pushing it further, letting everyone experience its decay and inadequacy, can we make those content with the status quo abandon their false hopes and stand firm in overthrowing it!
Therefore, whether it's the reform-minded princess, the defense minister struggling to maintain the military, or you, who are closely connected to the current defense minister, all of you are targets that must be eliminated!
'Ahaha~ Leon, look!'
The changes in the female prisoner's soul naturally did not escape the notice of the Great Devil, the Black Sheep.
Watching her soul gradually turn from crimson to dark, feeling the surging murderous intent dancing with the flames, the Black Sheep closed her eyes in ecstasy and judged with a blissful expression:
'One who does not approve of the other's actions but is determined to save her; the other who acknowledges the other's actions but is prepared to kill her with their own hands. How wonderful!
To be able to act without restraint, committing evil for a so-called great belief, this filthy and sticky soul is truly amazing!
As for the other, when genuine kindness from the heart is met with the other's venomous response, what kind of evil thoughts will burst forth in her heart?'
Ahaha! It's marvelous! I can't wait to see her reaction!'
"..."
A great devil, but why does she always talk like a late-stage chuunibyou?
Stepping on the Sheep Head, Lyon slightly increased the pressure, and as she rolled on the dirty floor of the carriage, attracting the Black Sheep's curses, Lyon silently gripped the Holy Spirit Pendant, ready to save the person.
If it were someone from the Lane family being targeted, she might let it go, but occasionally being late for "rescue" was still a possibility.
However, from the conversation just now, the female police officer, though a bit stubborn and a troublesome mess, was not a bad person. If she could help, she would.
Cautiously observing the Chaotic Party member's condition, as the darkness in her soul surged, she reached for the female police officer's neck. At that moment, Lyon activated his pendant, creating an invisible palm that firmly pressed down on the bandage around the female criminal's wrist.
"How is this possible?"
A searing pain suddenly surged through the criminal's wrist, and the bandage, which should have drifted upwards, was held down by an invisible force. The female criminal was shocked and turned pale.
However, in the instant she noticed the criminal's movement, the female police officer slightly shifted her body, using her shoulder to block the hand reaching for her neck. Simultaneously, she used the edge of her other hand to slam down below the styloid process of the criminal's ulna.
Taking advantage of the moment when the criminal's elbow and wrist were numbed, preventing her from changing her posture, the police officer twisted the criminal's right wrist and simultaneously applied a shoulder lock, forcing her elbow into a reverse joint lock, effectively sealing off her strength.
Finally, she pressed down, bent the wrist, and pushed the shoulder, with such force that it seemed as if she would slam her head into the ground. The criminal was thrown down from her seat, landing with a loud thud on the carriage floor.
Although this series of actions sounded complex, the female police officer executed them with astonishing fluidity. During the time it took Lyon to shake off the coat covering his head, she had already completed the entire sequence, dragging the criminal down from the seat and efficiently subduing her.
"..."
Damn... So, you have this skill too? Lyon was surprised, his mouth agape, as he looked at the female police officer who had her left knee pressed against the criminal's lumbar spine, both hands twisting the criminal's right arm and pinning her shoulder, firmly pressing her entire body against the floor.
Fortunately, I have a good temper and didn't fight her before. Otherwise, with my combat power, my fate might not have been much better than this criminal's.
In less than 0.2 seconds, as Lyon regained control of the criminal who had attempted to attack him, the female police officer instinctively followed the Police Manual and immediately looked around to ensure there were no hidden accomplices. Then...
"You?!"
"I was just passing by!"
Lyon sat back in his chair just before the female police officer, whose delicate eyebrows suddenly rose, her pretty face filled with shock, hesitation, panic, and determination, could rush over. It was as if a spice shop had been overturned, and her emotions were a mix of all five flavors.
"I'm also on external duty, and I boarded the train before you!" Lyon emphasized his current position briefly, then raised his hand to show his credentials to the ticket lady, who was rushing towards them from the front row with wide eyes, ready to scold the three of them.
"Police are escorting a prisoner, please cooperate."
"What's with so many police? I'm a Level Two Railway Worker in the Road Administration Bureau! Even if you're a police officer..."
"A Secret Investigation Bureau police officer."
"Secret... Then, never mind..."
Seeing the bright Police Department emblem on the cover of the credentials, the ticket lady couldn't help but shrink back. After noticing the criminal pinned to the ground in a capture technique, the anger that had been building up inside her instantly dissipated.
Under the gaze of the passengers, her short legs, slightly bowed, quickly turned half a circle like a compass. Her short and sturdy body moved back with surprising agility, and she returned to the front row, sitting back in her ticket booth.
The female criminal, with half her face pressed against the floor, glanced at Lyon with the remaining light in her eyes and instantly understood the "cause and effect" of everything that had happened.
"Despicable!"
