"Don't ......
Leave me alone......"
However, in the face of Sakai's questioning, the man standing at the intersection put on an indifferent expression and replied in a low voice.Hearing the man's answer, Sakai frowned.In fact, for these figures that suddenly appeared in Horikawa, the Metropolitan Police Department has stepped up its investigation at a pace.At the same time, try to start a conversation with them.But no matter how questioned by the Metropolitan Police Department, these people were still reluctant to reveal the reason for their sudden immobility.Judging by the reactions of these people, it seems that they already know the reason why they are standing there.Retracting his thoughts from the information collected by the Metropolitan Police Department, Sakai looked at the expression of the man in front of him, an expression of despair mixed with numbness, just like all those who were discovered.Without getting too many useful clues from the man, Sakai had to give up his intention to continue the question, turned back to the special assault force behind him, and then two well-trained members stepped forward and grabbed the man's flat arms."
Huh?"
With both hands on the man's arms, one of the members of the Special Assault Force couldn't help but have a surprised expression on his face."
What's wrong?"
Sensing the change in the expressions of the members of the Special Assault Force, Sakai, who was on the side, couldn't help but ask."
It's nothing, sir, I just think he's more powerful than you think."
If a normal person holds his arm like this, even if he insists on it for a period of time, he will be unable to resist the force exerted by the outside world because of soreness.However, the man in front of him not only stood at the intersection with his arms raised for so long, but even when facing the members of the special assault force, he still showed great strength.Gritting his teeth and increasing the strength in his hand, he finally pressed down the man's raised arm.Escorted by members of the Special Assault Force, the man was taken away from the scene without any resistance.“…… It's useless, it's all useless......"
Throughout the escort, the man showed unimaginable cooperation.It's just a constant murmur in their mouths, as if they are talking to Sakai about the futility of all this.......
"Yes, yes......
I understood......
"Kyoto, Metropolitan Police Department."
The resignation of the Prime Minister has caused huge waves in the political arena of Tokyo.All forces want a piece of the pie, but the events in Horikawa have attracted the attention of some people.Although they were not at the scene and did not know as much about what happened in Horikawa as Sakai, this did not prevent them from giving orders to Sakai.It took a lot of effort for the government to suppress the heat of Keiko in the previous time capsule, and naturally did not want any problems to occur at such a critical time.The current prime minister resigned, and the cabinet was vacant.At this moment, the ruling party is at its weakest, and once the opposition parties seize the opportunity, even if they are not pulled down, it will eventually cause a certain degree of damage and affect the next election.Hung up the phone from Tokyo.Sakai breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to rub his forehead.Although Takayama's attempt to use Keiko's power to kill cabinet officials was mad, there was one thing he said that was not wrong.That is, these high-ranking people are indeed moths of the country in a way, they eat away at the future of the country in order to seek the interests of themselves and the families behind them, and enjoy the benefits brought by the rights, but they are unwilling to bear the responsibilities they deserve.It's a pity that I don't have a choice.Sakai certainly looks down on these self-righteous politicians, but he is powerless to change anything.No matter how decadent a country is, it is still a country.He's not crazy enough to be mountain-like.Suppressing his inner thoughts, Sakai returned his attention to the photo in front of him.In front of him, an entire wall was plastered with photographs taken by the Metropolitan Police Department, and all the figures in the photos were found motionless in various parts of Horikawa.Because these people are as if they are bound to the same place, they have been named 'Earth Bound Ones' on the Internet.At present, the number of 'ground binders' found by the Metropolitan Police Department has exceeded 50 or so, and this number is constantly increasing, and the Metropolitan Police Department has received more than 100 calls about 'ground binders'.Most of them are adult men, but a small number are of various ages.The youngest of them was a twelve-year-old boy near the Horikawa Bridge, who was chained to the river and was first spotted by nearby residents.As soon as they learned of the boy's condition, his parents rushed to the scene and took the boy away.But not long after that, the boy returned to the place where he had been found, restrained in the same position as before.According to the Metropolitan Police Department's investigation, it is unknown how the 'Ground Bound Ones' move.Many of the 'Earth Bonders' had obviously been brought back to their homes by their families, but in the blink of an eye, they reappeared in the place where they were bound.At the same time, because these 'earth binders' themselves are unwilling to disclose the relationship, it becomes extremely difficult to collect evidence throughout the investigation.It is not yet known why they were restrained."
Sir, the target is gone!"
However, while Sakai was looking at the 'Earth Binders' on the photo wall, he was pondering.Officer Yamamoto of the Metropolitan Police Department suddenly passed the news to him.From Yamamoto's face, it was obvious that he was shocked at the moment.The missing object is the man Sakai and the special assault force brought back at the intersection not long ago.The Metropolitan Police Department locked him in the interrogation room and arranged layers of guards.However, even in such a tightly guarded situation, the 'Ground Bonder' still disappeared from the Metropolitan Police Department."
Where's the interrogation room footage?"
Hearing Yamamoto's report, Sakai was not much surprised.The return of the Earthbound to the Lands of Bondage is information that has been known for a long time in other investigations.Sakai locked this 'Groundbinder' in the interrogation room to see if the other party would leave like the rest of the 'Groundbinders' under the condition of being guarded by layers.Obviously, even with all the preparations, they still can't stop the 'Earth Bound One' from going back."
Did you take a picture of the 'Earthbinder' leaving?""
The VCR has always been working, but ......"
Yamamoto's expression was a little inexplicable in the face of Sakai's inquiry.He handed the DV camera in his hand forward.Reaching out and taking the camera from Yamamoto, Sakai began to watch the footage.
