I Became the Savior on the Fourth Day of Disaster - Chapter 53: It Was Fukuchi Who Threatened Poor Yunxi...

Chapter 53: It Was Fukuchi Who Threatened Poor Yunxi…

Naturally, this situation occurred due to official backing from several nations, coupled with mindless support from ordinary people who had received Yunxi’s kindness.

Those who had heard Yunxi’s speeches: I told you it was Fukuchi Ochi!

Passersby whom Yunxi had casually helped: It was definitely Fukuchi Ochi! He admitted it himself!

Undercover agents Yunxi had expelled from drug trafficking rings: It must have been Fukuchi Ochi! Who else could it be but Yunxi?!

Of course, some insisted these matters couldn’t be separated from Yunxi either, but those defending Yunxi were particularly skilled at obstinate arguments.

Suddenly, statements like [Fukuchi Ochi threatened poor Master Yunxi. Master Yunxi is so pitiful. Even if just to protect Master Yunxi, we should kill Fukuchi Ochi now] began flying across the internet and various offline venues.

Thus, public opinion swiftly shifted in a bizarre direction, with many Espers genuinely being incited and preparing to converge on Yokohama.

Listening to reports through his earpiece, Fukuchi Ochi finally reached his limit.

He directly seized the [Great Order] and commanded: Order! Full military deployment!

Human Military members were instantly controlled, their weapons turning toward human territories.

If left unchecked, the world would be destroyed by the Human Military within minutes.

Fukuzawa Yukichi: !!!

No longer dwelling on Fukuchi Ochi’s motives, Fukuzawa Yukichi seized the [Great Order] from Fukuchi Ochi at the cost of injuring himself.

Cease attack!

After uttering these words, Fukuzawa Yukichi finally relaxed, turning to Fukuchi Ochi again: Gen’ichiro, why…

Mid-sentence, an unfamiliar man with European features suddenly appeared, bypassing Fukuzawa to attack Fukuchi Ochi directly.

Fukuzawa instinctively blocked for Fukuchi Ochi, his sword shattering completely: Who are you?!

The stranger showed no intention of answering, shifting angles to assault Fukuchi Ochi again.

It was Fukuchi Ochi who recognized him: You are… Laszlo? Leader of the [Nameless Organization]?

Have you come to seek justice for Yunxi-kun? Fukuchi Ochi raised his hand, [Rain Imperial] piercing through space to block his opponent. Do you truly believe I could control Yunxi-kun? Yunxi-kun is a Transcendent – if he weren’t willing, who could possibly control him?

The man finally spoke, his tone resolute: Master Yunxi is kind and gentle! He would never do these things voluntarily! You must have threatened Master Yunxi using ordinary people he cares about!

And my name is Lao Chou, not Laszlo, the man added. This is the name Master Yunxi gave me. Laszlo is an old name I used long ago – you’re mistaken.

Fukuchi Ochi: …?

Was Laszlo’s perception filter regarding Yunxi too thick… Wait.

When he first recruited Yunxi, hadn’t it actually been using Fyodor’s questionable world destruction intelligence?

Just as this thought occurred to Fukuchi Ochi, he noticed Laszlo’s eyes momentarily flicker with uncertainty.

It was as if he was looking at another person present who hadn’t yet been discovered by Fukuchi Ochi.

Fukuchi Ochi subconsciously sensed something was wrong.

Soon, Fukuchi Ochi realized exactly what was wrong.

A certain esper with mind-reading special ability.

And at this moment, this esper was dutifully amplifying Fukuchi Ochi’s mental activities aloud.

The esper opened his mouth, but what came out was Fukuchi Ochi’s voice:

Almost forgot, what this guy said isn’t entirely wrong. After all, when we [Decay of the Angel] first had Yunxi work for us, we used the ‘world destruction’ intelligence provided by [Decay of the Angel]’s [Demon] Fyodor – who knows whether it was true or false.

Laszlo is looking over. Did he realize something? Tch, luckily this guy came alone. As long as I control him before Yunxi-kun arrives, then use him to directly threaten Yunxi-kun…

Ah, so he didn’t come alone after all. Well, that’s fine too. Two espers aren’t that difficult to deal with…

Lao Chou’s expression gradually twisted as Fukuchi Ochi’s mental activities were broadcast.

Before the mind-reading esper could finish speaking, Lao Chou activated his special ability at maximum power and launched an attack:

Fine, fine, I knew it! You shameless villains always like using ordinary people like us to bully Master Yunxi!

Boom!

A violent collision sound echoed through the air. In such an urgent situation, Fukuzawa Yukichi began hesitating about whether he should step in to stop Lao Chou.

Although Fukuzawa Yukichi still didn’t know what his childhood friend was truly after, judging from the content read by the mind-reading esper, he found it difficult to directly take his childhood friend’s side.

Tch. The mind-reading esper had somehow appeared beside Fukuzawa Yukichi.

He stared at Fukuzawa Yukichi for a long time – clearly his special ability had already been used on Fukuzawa Yukichi, but he simply didn’t broadcast it.

Seeing Fukuzawa Yukichi turn toward him, he directly played the victim card to the camera on Fukuzawa Yukichi’s clothes: Master Yunxi is truly pitiful. Fukuchi Ochi uses him, clueless people target him, and people online curse at him…

Fukuzawa Yukichi: ?

Did clueless people include him? But he never targeted Yunxi, did he? Wasn’t it always Yunxi targeting him?

Fukuzawa Yukichi: ???

But Genichiro wasn’t really trying to kill that Mr. Lao Chou, was he?

The mind-reading esper looked up at the sky, trying hard not to let tears fall: I’m fine too. I don’t have a powerful special ability, and I’ve long been prepared for death.

I know that whether it’s Decay of the Angel, or the Armed Detective Agency, or even the Japanese authorities, none of them would keep a mind-reading esper like me. In this world, only the Nameless Organization founded by Master Yunxi has a place for me…

Fukuzawa Yukichi finally couldn’t take it anymore.

He wanted to say that he had been standing here for so long without making a move against the mind-reading esper – wasn’t that proof enough of the Armed Detective Agency’s attitude toward mind-reading espers?

The only one who had been constantly pursued but never lost mobility – Nakajima Atsushi – came charging straight toward Fukuzawa Yukichi from the distance.

President!

The special ability [Beast Beneath the Moonlight] activated. The massive White Tiger leaped over a dozen meters in a single bound, threateningly baring its fangs at the mind-reading Esper, causing the latter to collapse weakly to the ground.

The mind-reading Esper lay on the ground, screaming in agony: I hate this! I hate it so much! Master Yunxi spends all his time outside pondering how to save the world, yet this is how people treat him!!!

White Tiger: ?

Nakajima Atsushi, in his White Tiger form, didn’t understand what was happening, but he instinctively halted his attack and turned to look pleadingly at the Agency President.

Fukuzawa Yukichi, mindful of the live camera feed, quickly explained: Atsushi-kun, he’s not an enemy, he’s—

He is the enemy, Fukuchi Ochi’s voice cut in abruptly.

Fukuchi Ochi had already subdued Lao Chou. Dragging the severely injured Lao Chou along, he slowly approached. [Rain Imperial] activated, directly destroying the camera device on Fukuzawa Yukichi’s person.

The mind-reading Esper immediately stopped his dramatic display.

He scrambled up from the ground and swiftly positioned himself behind Fukuzawa Yukichi and the White Tiger, who held no ill will toward him. Unnoticed by anyone, he now held a gun in his hand, its barrel aimed squarely at Fukuchi Ochi’s head.

It was indeed my oversight to leave your organization out of my plans, Fukuchi Ochi remarked with a faint smile, unfazed by the gun pointed at him. Aside from national armies, mafia organizations like yours are key contributors to warfare and death.

Fortunately, you’ve come. The Nameless Organization is likely the largest non-governmental group in Europe, isn’t it? As long as I can seize the power you hold—

Sizzle. A bullet formed of flames materialized out of nowhere, piercing straight through Fukuchi Ochi’s heart.

Fukuchi Ochi’s pupils dilated. The next moment, he collapsed heavily to the ground.

Shh, any further would be greed, Yunxi appeared abruptly, half-shrouded in a cloak by Gogol. He raised a finger to his lips in a silencing gesture. Since the goal has been achieved, it’s time to die with your secrets. That was our agreement, wasn’t it?

Everyone present: !!!

Fukuchi Ochi, still unwilling to concede, didn’t bother asking how long Yunxi had known he was [Kamui]. He activated [Rain Imperial], restoring himself to peak condition, and launched a fierce assault at Yunxi.

Then, Fukuchi Ochi was swiftly defeated by Yunxi once again.

Yunxi: Must you fight me? Well, fine, but I can’t guarantee the safety of everyone else here. You know, as a Transcendent, killing everyone here would be as easy as crushing an ant…

Fukuchi Ochi’s intention to use [Rain Imperial] faltered.

He allowed his life to slip away.

Forget it, he thought. Yunxi-kun’s organization won’t actively instigate wars. This is the best outcome.

Having fully surrendered, Fukuchi Ochi finally found the time to answer Fukuzawa Yukichi’s earlier question: Why did I do all this? Because of the world war thirty-six years from now. I wanted to prevent that catastrophic war, to stop the deaths of hundreds of millions of ordinary people.

Over there, Yunxi was already looking at Lao Chou with heartache: What are you doing here? Aren’t you in pain with all these injuries? So what if I get scolded? I have plenty of ways to deal with those who insult me—it might be a bit troublesome, but those people are digging their own graves. Why do you care about their lives?

Meanwhile, Fukuchi Ochi was still saying: I must make everyone understand that the Armed Detective Agency has been framed by me. Only then can my plan be completed.

Over there, Yunxi continued: I had so much fun framing the Armed Detective Agency—it’s only right that I face some retribution. The Armed Detective Agency is the one truly being manipulated like puppets.

Here, Fukuchi Ochi: Even if I’m despised by the entire world…

There, Yunxi: Even if I’m despised by the entire world…

They spoke in unison: It’s worth it!/I deserve it!

As their voices faded, Fukuzawa Yukichi was still deep in thought, but Lao Chou had already burst into tears and rushed toward Yunxi. However, due to Gogol’s teleportation, he changed direction and collided directly with the mind-reading Esper.

Lao Chou didn’t mind; he just clung to the mind-reading Esper and wept, crying so hard he could barely catch his breath, completely unlike the powerful boss of a major organization.

The others present had already found the scene strange, but what was even stranger was the mind-reading Esper, who suddenly began speaking—alternating between Fukuzawa Yukichi’s inner thoughts and Lao Chou’s inner monologue.

Indeed, Gen’ichiro doesn’t simply want revenge against the Armed Detective Agency. In his heart, he cares for all people—it’s just that his methods are flawed, which is why the Armed Detective Agency has suffered so much injustice.

Indeed, Master Yunxi would never let those who support him suffer even the slightest grievance. Master Yunxi’s methods are always right. It’s my fault—if I were stronger, I should have just killed Fukuchi Ochi earlier. Then Master wouldn’t have to dirty his hands for my sake, and in this plan, only the Armed Detective Agency would be the scapegoat.

Fukuzawa Yukichi, Nakajima Atsushi, and the others present: …………

Their expressions toward Fukuchi Ochi instantly turned peculiar.

Thinking carefully, this plan really is bizarre!

Although world peace was achieved, it seems like Fukuchi Ochi essentially handed the Armed Detective Agency over to Yunxi to be toyed with for a period in exchange for that peace?!

Fukuchi Ochi, forget everything else—can you truly say you have a clear conscience toward the Armed Detective Agency?!

Just then, Sigma finally arrived.

Sigma hadn’t accepted Gogol’s teleportation, so he had rushed over on foot from where the plane had landed.

As soon as he arrived, he overheard such conversation and instinctively asked: What’s going on? Is there a new plan targeting the Armed Detective Agency?

Nakajima Atsushi and Fukuzawa Yukichi: .

So it’s confirmed—they’re definitely being messed with by a coordinated effort!
