Chapter 131: The Final Struggle

  Alex couldn’t deny it—teological adva is the true currency of funting.

  Ba his era, a protagonist could casually make a phone call, and an army would appear at their and.

  But here? Damn it, you had to go to a public phone booth, ect through a switchboard operator, aransferred to aension...

  The gmorous Hollywood atmosphere was pletely ruined by this ridiculously outdated teology.

  After assigning tasks to Tomitake, Alex returo Hinamizawa.

  There was nothing much to do in Okinomiya, but watg Miyo Takano fail miserably seemed like aertaining pastime.

  However, to his surprise, upourning to the school, Alex found some ued visitors.

  “Keiichi? Shion? Director Irie? What’s going on with you all?”

  Alex froze as he looked at the group hiding in his room, clutg ons.

  Upon seeing him return, the previously tense group immediately lit up with joy.

  “Teacher, you’re finally back!”

  Through Shion’s expnation, Alex finally uood what had happeo the protagonists.

  It turned out that after the events, Keiichi still wao iigate Irie’s ic.

  He ran into Shion, and after some discussion, they decided to pretend to seek medical attention as a cover to check out the situation.

  But to their shock, as soon as they arrived outside Irie’s ic, they saw Irie being pursued by a group of people.

  As protagonists, Keiichi and Shion werely idiots.

  They mao help Director Irie escape from his pursuers.

  On the way, they entered Rika and Satoko, and shortly afterward, Rena joihem as well.

  Finally, under Rika’s suggestion, they decided to seek Alex’s help at the school.

  Since Alex wasn’t there, they had no choice but to hide and wait for him to return.

  Fortunately, this firmed that Alex’s earlier nightmare was just a dream.

  But... why had Miyo Takano suddenly goer Director Irie?

  “Miyo seems to have received a report… The details aren’t clear, but it seems somethi wrong oenant Tomitake’s end...”

  That idiot!

  Hearing Director Irie’s response, Alex’s face darkened.

  He had known all along that Tomitake was unreliable.

  But siomitake was the only oh the means to unicate with "Tokyo," Alex had no choice but to rely on him.

  Now it seemed Tomitake’s plete ck of discretion had allowed Miyo to catch wind of the situation.

  Likely, someone in "Tokyo" had informed Miyo that the anization was onto her embezzlement.

  This left her no choice but to act preemptively before the anization could take her down.

  Ioryli was already clear that the "Tokyanization wasn’t monolithic.

  The current leadership wao cease resear the "Hinamizawa Syndrome," but another fa sought to use the research to overthrow the leadership.

  Thus, they enced Miyo to act against Hinamizawa, knowing that a rge-scale disaster would force the leadership to step down.

  As a reward, Miyo would be allowed to tihe syndrome research after everythiled.

  Of course, if Miyo had even a shred of on sense, she would know that even if the other fa took power, she would ultimately be discarded as a pawn.

  But... expeg her to use her brain was like expeg pigs to climb trees.

  At that moment—

  A faint noise came from outside the window.

  Hearing it, everyone’s expressions shifted slightly.

  Keiichi stepped to the window, gnced outside, and immediately tensed up.

  “Not good! They’ve found us!”

  “What do we do?”

  “Let’s fight them head-on!”

  Si was a holiday, there were no students at the school except for Alex’s group.

  This gave the Yamainu squad the audacity to openly surround the entire school.

  Looking at the armed soldiers p out of vehicles, their ons ready, the group inside grew visibly nervous.

  After all, ses like this were things they had only ever seen in movies.

  Fag it in real life was airely different matter.

  “Teacher, you should take Rika and the others and leave!”

  As she spoke, Rena raised her hatchet.

  “Acc to Director Irie, these people are after Rika. As long as she’s safe, then...”

  “No! If we go, we all go together! I don’t want to lose any friends!”

  “Rika…”

  “But…”

  “No buts!”

  Looking at her panions standing protectively in front of her, Rika felt a twinge of sadness.

  She had once been filled with despair.

  But now, even though her panions had initially doubted her, they had still e to her aid.

  For Rika, that was enough.

  “Teacher, you must have a pn. Please, help us!”

  “Of course I have a pn.”

  Alex smiled slightly, reag out to pat Rika’s head.

  He had already mastered his abilities.

  After unraveling the ultimate mystery of this world, he had tless ways to resolve this situation.

  “Leave it to me. You all stay here and don’t move. Just sit bad enjoy the show.”

  Meanwhile, the fully armed Yamainu squad had reached the school gates.

  Looking at the tightly closed gates, the squad leader sigo his team.

  “The target is inside. Capture the target alive and eliminate all other witnesses. Uood? Now, brea—”

  Before the squad leader could finish his sentehe previously locked gates suddenly flew off their hinges.

  The gate smashed into him, sending him flying backward with a scream of agony.

  The other soldiers, stunned by the se, quickly raised their submae guns, aiming at the doorway.

  But before they could pull their triggers, Alex burst out like a whirlwind.

  His fists ched tightly as he charged into the fray.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  To be ho, as a special forces unit, Mountain Dog could be sidered one of the weakest.

  After all, they specialized in intelligehering, not bat.

  Their only advantage was advanced onry and sheer o bully civilians.

  But to Alex, these guys were nothing more than target dummies.

  He didn’t eveo activate time manipution—his raw speed and strength alone were enough to crush these fools.

  From the Mountain Dog’s perspective, however, it was a pletely different story.

  All they could see was a blurry shadow darting through their ranks like a ghost.

  The moment, a massive force struck them head-on, mercilessly sending them flying.

  Screams of pain filled the air as the members of the special forces, dressed in their uniforms, were flung into the sky oer another, only to crash heavily to the ground.

  When Alex finally stopped, the previously smug, gun-wielding soldiers y scattered on the ground, pletely unscious.

  “Oh my god!”

  Watg this se from the and vehicle, everyone broke out in a cold sweat—even Miyo Takano’s face turned pale.

  She had once provoked Hanyuu, believing her unyielding will could overe fate, even a deity.

  But now, for the first time, she felt utterly powerless, like a child fag overwhelming strength.

  “Quick! Get out of here!!”

  Shaking untrolbly, Miyo Takano’s entire body trembled.

  In her mind, Alex’s figure began to blur and overp with the man who had abused her in the orphanage during her childhood.

  Back then, she had been just as helpless…

  “Go! Quickly!”

  “Boom!!”

  Just as Miyo Takano shouted, a loud crash echoed from the back of the and vehicle.

  The tightly shut door was torn apart like paper by Alex, who easily ripped it off its hinges.

  He reached in, pulled the entire door away, and silently stared at the woman inside.

  “Who… who are you? What do you want?!”

  Terrified, Miyo Takano was rendered speechless, and the others in the and vehicle were equally stunned, unsure of what to do.

  Ign her question, Alex climbed into the vehicle, striding directly toward Miyo Takano.

  “Don’t e any closer!!”

  As Alex advanced, Miyo Takano raised her handgun in panid fired at him.

  In an instant, Alex appeared beside her, stomping on the gun and crushing it into pieces.

  “Bang!!”

  “Ahhhhh!!”

  The handgun exploded uhe force, causing Miyo Takano to scream in pain.

  Unfazed by her cries, Alex grabbed her blonde hair and dragged her out of the vehicle like she was trash.

  “No! You ’t do this! Please, please spare me! Help me, Grandpa! Grandpa!! Help me!!”

  Miyo Takano thrashed and screamed desperately.

  But Alex remained unmoved, dragging her out of the vehicle by her hair and throwing her onto the cold t ground.

  “To be ho, I’ve never liked you.”

  Looking down at the crumpled Miyo Takano, Alex smiled faintly.

  “But now, it doesn’t matter anymore. Your pn has failed… Tokyo will send people to take over soon.”

  “Frankly, from my perspective, someone like you doesn’t even deserve to live. But…”

  Pausing, Alex turo the school’s window.

  There, Rika Furude was watg the se with a plicated expression, staring at the woman lying at Alex’s feet.

  This was the person who had repeatedly disemboweled her in tless loops.

  This was the person who had killed her friends over and airoying Hinamizawa each time.

  And all of it was for ohing…

  “A foolish experiment.”

  Alex reached out and snatched the dots clutched tightly in Miyo Takano’s arms.

  Seeing them taken, Miyo Takano froze momentarily before leaping toward Alex.

  “Give it back! That’s my grandfather’s research! His life’s work!”

  “A third-rate pseudostist’s research?”

  As Miyo Takano lunged, Alex struck her face with a sp, knog her back to the ground.

  “A mere pseudostist? For this, you’re willing to sacrifice over two thousand lives? For this?”

  Speaking coldly, Alex tossed the dots into the muddy ground and stomped on them.

  Under his foot, the dots Miyo Takano had cherished so dearly were reduced to a pile of sludge.

  “No!! No!! Grandpa!! Grandpa—this is his research! The key to human evolution!!”

  “Unfortunately, it’s nothing more than a pseudostist’s delusion.”

  Alex gred coldly at the sobbing woman before shifting his gaze.

  Beside Miyo Takano, Hanyuu, dressed in her red and white shrine maiden outfit, watched the se with a plicated expression.

  “And what about you, Oyashiro-sama? What do you think of this woman?”

  “Awoo… awoo…”

  Hanyuu hesitated, her expression flicted as she stared at Miyo Takano lying in the muddy ground.

  In the end, she lowered her head, saying nothing.

  “Well, since even the one most involved doesn’t pn to settle ats, I suppose I’ll stop here.”

  Alex shrugged and stepped back.

  Miyo Takano, meanwhile, scrambled to the ground, clutg the ruined research papers as she wept.

  “But… this is the end for her as well.”

  As he spoke, Alex looked toward the sky.

  The distant sound of helicrew louder, drawing nearer.
