Chapter 152: Chapter 74 In the Name of Justice

"Hello?"

The voice of Kazama Tatsuya came from the receiver, and Fushimi Roku breathed a sigh of relief.

To prevent Kazama Tatsuya from doing anything irrational, he spoke quickly, "Don’t kill him. You still have a chance to turn back now. After responding to the police radio, continue driving forward, I’ll arrange for someone to hijack your car. If you’re worried, after dealing with Kamei Yuusaku, I can send you a photo..."

"Why should I trust you?" Kazama Tatsuya repeated the same question.

"You have no choice... If you die, your daughter will never be cleared. Do you understand? You don’t have much time left; Kujo Yua is coordinating with traffic control to close the roads, and the General Services Department is also counting heads... Hello? Are you still listening?"

"Yes."

Kazama Tatsuya looked down at Kamei Yuusaku, gently patting the gun against his thigh, "Since you’re planning to kill him, why not just let him die by my hands?"

Fushimi Roku couldn’t answer.

He couldn’t possibly say it was to enhance his own social charm, could he?

Moreover, the fact that Kazama Tatsuya could ask this question meant that his identity was most likely already exposed, but Kazama Tatsuya hadn’t made it clear — he was actually concerned about Kazama Tatsuya’s safety, yet got caught instead.

Seeing the silence from the other side, Kazama Tatsuya continued, "You know what I’m thinking? I feel like I’m finally relieved. On the way here, I made up my mind, I’d put a bullet in this guy’s head and take all responsibility. Whether I live or die next doesn’t matter... as long as there’s a resolution, I can finally close my eyes peacefully."

"Wouldn’t it be a better result if I resolve it?" Fushimi Roku asked.

"What’s the difference in having someone else hold the sword over my head, as it originally was?" Kazama Tatsuya retorted.

He began to pace in place, circling around Kamei Yuusaku, exhaling long breaths of white frosty air, "I’m a cop, understand? At any rate, I’m still a cop... I know what I’m doing is unqualified, but just as you said earlier, I have no choice..."

"Do you know what Chihime says at home? She says it’s all my fault, all because of me, that her mom died; all because of me, that’s why she ended up like this... Four years, four whole years, I never once told her I was sorry because I knew I wasn’t wrong, I damn well wasn’t wrong!!"

"I feel very guilty, I didn’t take good care of her, I let her down, but so what?! Murder is murder, breaking the law is breaking the law, there are bad cops and good criminals in this world, but criminals are criminals, cops are cops — excuses! They’re all just excuses!!"

Kazama Tatsuya pointed the gun at Kamei Yuusaku’s forehead, glaring fiercely, his single eye shining with a ferocity that sent chills down the spine.

"Want me to bow my head? Want me to apologize? Keep dreaming! Even if I get my other eye gouged out in an interrogation room, I will never admit that what you all did was right!"

He growled lowly, like a beast cornered with no way out.

"Then shoot," Kamei Yuusaku said, "kill me and let her keep hating you."

In the distance, the faint sound of police sirens could be heard, the road leading out of town was locked down. Kazama Tatsuya’s face tightened, he threw away the phone, switched off the safety, and pulled the trigger at Kamei Yuusaku’s head.

Bang.

The sound of the wind behind him followed by a sharp pain. Kazama Tatsuya’s vision went black, his hand shook, the bullet grazed Kamei Yuusaku’s cheek and hit the snow, sending up a spray of snowflakes.

He staggered and turned to see a woman wearing a Hannya Mask. She held an unsheathed tachi and made a swift swing, landing it on his neck. Accompanied by a crisp sound, Kazama Tatsuya collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness.

"Hello?"

The external speaker of the phone rang out, "Is anyone still alive?"

No one responded.

Kamei Yuusaku knelt in the snow, looking up at the woman as she removed the mask, her face as pure as snow reflected in his pupils, it was Kazama Chihime.

"Oh dear, you caught me."

He smiled, like a child who accidentally broke a vase.

Kazama Chihime flicked her thumb against the blade, sliding it out of its sheath. She hung the mask at her waist, grasped the sword handle, and asked expressionlessly, "Do you plead guilty?"

"I plead guilty."

"Good."

Kazama Chihime drew the sword from its sheath, whispering, "For the living, for the dead, I sever your head, carrying out Heavenly Punishment."

Kamei Yuusaku blinked, wanting to say to use a different term, the word ’Heavenly Punishment’ was already taken by someone else.

But Kazama Chihime didn’t give him the chance to speak.

The blade slashed through the snow, breaking through the wind.

Kamei Yuusaku heard the sound of a bell, in his eyes, the snowflakes split in two, slowing down enough for him to recall from where this slash came.

When he and Chihime first met, Tokyo was also snowing, the mountains and forests a vast expanse of white.

At that time, Chihime squatted in the snow, stabbing a branch into a rabbit’s eye, the blood flowed all over the ground. He asked Chihime why she did it, she said, "I just thought it was interesting."

The caretaker said Chihime had mental issues, originally Kamei Yuusaku didn’t believe it until the doctor issued a lab report, saying Chihime’s DNA lacked some chromosome, he didn’t understand the scientific name, only knew that Chihime’s mother was in the same situation, and her mother had also stabbed out one of her husband’s eyes.

"They have the blood of crime running through them."

Was that why Chihime was sent here?

Kamei Yuusaku still remembered, when the educational institution advertised itself, it claimed it could treat special mental illnesses... perhaps Chihime’s father was grasping at straws, or treating a dead horse as if it were still alive, anyway, Chihime was sent in.

To be honest, people didn’t dislike Chihime.

She was kind, well-behaved, and obedient, apart from her liking for torturing small animals, she could be said to be a perfect beautiful girl.

The caretakers banned Chihime from killing, the doctors said if she continued indulging, she would attempt to kill in the future. But forcibly stopping her was useless, Chihime would still dismember insects for fun. Not long after, the caretakers found insect remains in her lunchbox, confining her for a month.

To please Chihime, Kamei Yuusaku would often catch bugs for her. When he heard she was confined, along with guilt, he felt a bit of secret joy. He sneaked out of the dorm late at night to chat with Chihime in the confinement room... at that time and place, Chihime solely belonged to him.

The two grew closer, and because of this, Kamei Yuusaku became resented by other male students. During lunch break, four or five male students blocked him in the restroom stall, repeatedly dunking his head in the toilet. The water torture was agonizing, he couldn’t help but plead loudly, and the students laughed loudly around him.

Just then, Chihime barged in. She was like a Valkyrie, single-handedly knocking down all the students. Kamei Yuusaku knew, she wasn’t there to save him; she just saw a "justifiable bullying" opportunity.

Indeed, Chihime craved "justifiable bullying."

She twisted the students’ arms, grabbed their heads, dunking them into the toilet again and again, watching them beg for mercy, her eyes lit with excitement.

From that day on, Kamei Yuusaku decided: he would be an incurable piece of trash, letting Chihime stay by his side, saving him again and again, enjoying the thrill of saving and bullying.

"Chihime, I was bullied again..."

"It’s okay, don’t be sad, I’ll teach them a lesson for you."

...

"Chihime, I don’t want to stay here anymore..."

"The old man at the gate is a bit of a bother, but I’ll figure out a way to handle it, after all, it’s to save you."

...

"Chihime, I got dumped again..."

"Okay, who was it? Want me to help teach her a lesson?"

...

He disguised himself as a victim, giving Chihime a reason to bully.

Until the day "Heavenly Punishment" appeared, Kamei Yuusaku realized he could no longer satisfy Kazama Chihime.

The massacre at the Sugamo Apartment ignited Kazama Chihime’s veins, as if she saw a door to a New World opening before her.

So this was possible, to bully others in the name of justice.

— Called sanction, but in reality, it’s slaughter.

Thus, the Heavenly Punishment Group was formed. Kazama Chihime gathered a group of victims’ families of murder cases, under Kamei Yuusaku’s incitement, they became fervent believers of ’justice’. Once they found a perpetrator, they would enforce crude private justice.
