This Japanese Monogatari Isn't Lame-Chapter 582 - 367. Tying Oneself Up (4000 words)

Bang!!!

The man in the lead didn’t hesitate to shoot at the young man surrounded by a black aura.

He made the coldest decision.

Instead of standing there dumbfounded like everyone else, astonished, it was better to just shoot.

But—

"How is this possible..." The leading man felt his wrist trembling.

He couldn’t believe what his eyes were seeing.

The bullet was directly halted by the black aura, making a sizzling sound before dropping powerlessly to the ground.

When he looked again, it had corroded into a puddle of metallic sludge.

"How is this possible!"

Bang bang bang!!!

The leading man kept pulling the trigger at the young man, the muzzle flashing with gunfire, and in no time, a magazine had been emptied.

Damn it!!!

He hadn’t prepared spare magazines, after all, he considered this handgun to be just a last resort.

He also didn’t believe that anyone could break through the layers of arrangements outside and then shatter the bulletproof door to burst into this meeting room...

Even if the police did come in, they should have enough time to open the secret passage.

But the fact was...

"We don’t even have that time..." The leading man felt a chill in his limbs.

The handgun was useless against him, and close combat was out of the question.

Under such a despairing scenario, this man, under the gaze of Beichuan Si, forcefully pulled up Shirasaki Chiyoda from the ground and hooked his forearm around her neck, "Don’t come any closer! Don’t you come any closer! If you don’t want something to happen to Bai Mian—"

Bang!!!!!

Before the man could finish his sentence, he felt a heavy blow to the back of his head.

An intense drowsiness came over him.

In these last moments, the Sect Hierarch of the Happiness Truth Sect turned his head with effort to look at the young man who had somehow appeared behind him.

That cold face entwined with black aura became his last memory.

"..." Beichuan Si.

Although he wasn’t sure what sort of delusion made this man think he was partners with Shirasaki Chiyoda, Beichuan Si still wasn’t fond of chatter, as always.

"If you’re going to take action, just do it, don’t play with threats."

After leaving that piece of advice, Beichuan Si then turned to the other eight people behind him.

They were all dressed up magnificently, evidently high-ranking figures of the Happiness Truth Sect.

What came next was simple—just tie them all up and then notify Gangye Yoshiko to storm the building; the Church of Truth and Happiness would be pretty much done for.

While Beichuan Si was pondering, Shirasaki Chiyoda, who had crawled out from underneath the body of the Sect Hierarch, joyfully exclaimed, "See! I’m a staunch believer of Lord Beichuan! Even the Happiness Truth Sect stands no chance against Lord God Beichuan! You people are simply not on the same level... "

Bang!!!

In front of all the stunned onlookers, Shirasaki Chiyoda was... knocked out by the young man she called ’Lord God Beichuan’?

What’s going on?!

What just happened?

Weren’t Lord God Beichuan and Shirasaki Chiyoda supposed to be partners?

They could only watch helplessly as Shirasaki Chiyoda was knocked out and then firmly tied up by the other.

"Why, why would you knock out Bai Mian?"

Someone swallowed hard and finally couldn’t help asking.

In response to such a question, Beichuan Si merely lifted his gaze, "She is a member of the Happiness Truth Sect. It’s only reasonable for me to capture her."

Not that... there’s nothing wrong with your statement, but... wasn’t she your partner?

Shirasaki Chiyoda even betrayed the organization for you?

What’s the benefit for her in doing this!?

It was simply incomprehensible!

These questions, trapped in their minds, left them clueless on how to proceed.

The secret passage needed three minutes to open. The only exit was blocked by this ’Beichuan God.’

They were helpless.

Asking the other any more questions was pointless by now.

And about putting up a desperate fight?

Would someone who is not afraid of bullets fear a sudden attack from them—people who have lived in luxury all the time?

People are always deeply afraid of the unknown, especially when that unknown poses a threat to their lives, the fear is even greater.

Instead of resisting and being shot here, better to keep struggling on.

Just as they were ready to surrender, that Beichuan God actually tossed the remaining ropes over to them.

The high-ranking members of the Happiness Truth Sect fumbled over the ropes, looking at each other in confusion.

It took a good while before someone spoke up and asked, "Um... what is this...?"

Hearing the question, Beichuan Si’s expression didn’t change as he pressed down and tightly bound the unconscious Sect Hierarch; as he tied, he answered indifferently, "Tie each other up. I don’t have enough hands here. I’ll take care of the last one."

Uh...?

The high-ranking members opened their mouths, their hands trembling slightly holding the ropes.

Not that... we’ve already decided to surrender and let you capture us, but now you’re actually telling us to tie ourselves up?

Literally ’surrender without a fight’?

Their expressions and emotions were incredibly complex in that moment.

Beichuan God doesn’t worry that we might deliberately tie loose knots? And scatter to escape when he’s not looking?

At that moment, when the minds of these core members of the Church of Truth and Happiness were active, a cold voice exploded in their ears.

They looked unanimously at Beichuan Si who was knotting the second person.

"You wouldn’t want to do that."
