The Crisis World XX

Chap. 120: Riots Spread

"It starts as well."

Astaroth who noticed the riots that had started happening inside. Together with Baram, Oita-san, Seana, Dillon, and Delta they will soon join into the chaos.

"So, who's going down into this mess?" ask Astaroth.

Hearing the question, Seana enthusiastically raised her hand. "Me! I'll go down straight away!"

"No."

"Eh?"

Suddenly Dillon interrupted and interrupted Seana's enthusiasm. He walked in front of her and immediately told her why.

"Just as great as my sense of desire to see you develop, but for now this incident is still too early for you, Seana-sama. Do you agree, Griffin-sama?"

"I think Dillon's right. And call me Astaroth when I'm here, Dillon."

"I'm sorry, Astaroth-sama!"

"But Uncle—!"

"But even if I say so, I'll still let you take a close look at Oita and Dillon."

Astaroth again cut out Seana's words. But this time with the answer that he thought made the most sense for now and he also looked towards Oita-san.

"I? You're telling me to keep an eye on this kid? Don't blame me if he was accidentally killed, okay?"

Oita-san threatened Astaroth with a sharp look at him. Dillon and Seana were a little surprised and wary of the warning, others did not take it as a joke either because the one who spoke at the moment was Murasaki Oita. Except Astaroth who was not affected at all.

He calmed the others and responded to his words. "Don't act stupid, Oita. I know you don't care about your own life, but don't forget that those kids still have a future." Of course Astaroth was referring to Herlin and the others in Black Rain.

"There's a good chance you'll die at their hands like you want, and that's the right distance for Seana to watch" he continued.

An awkward and tense silence ensued from the two of them who were still staring at each other intently. But in the end Oita-san herself who broke it by stopping looking into Astaroth's eyes and it was considered as a agreeing answer for Astaroth.

"Well, Delta and Baram will split up and go the other way."

Baram and Delta obediently nodded which meant that this plan could start soon. Then they all moved towards his place each leaving Astaroth alone who continued to notice the chaos below.

In his current solitude, he had once thought of the Black Rain members who had coincidentally worked here. Astaroth then faced up and spread both hands.

"This must be fate!"

**

In addition to being in and around the dome, chaos also occurred in almost every part of Nagoya city. The brainwashing range produced by the Seana-made drug turned out to actually reach almost all ordinary people in this city.

Moreover, Rainbow Cookies concert was widely broadcast throughout Japan. This is also the target of Seana and Lennova because the only condition needed is to hear and his strength under the person who will brainwash him.

Not even a little Exception whose ability was under Seana was also affected even though it did not affect them for a long time.

But still, the difference in the number of Exception and ordinary citizens in the Nagoya area was too drastic. So even though they were just ordinary humans, still Exceptionists who were stronger than them were made hassles.

While outside the city of Nagoya is far from the influence of brainwashing drug Seana. Those fans who want to watch the Rainbow Cookies concert are also confused, one of which is Kudou.

He who was live streaming in his room this time was amazed when he saw the unexpected incident, even though he was currently holding a light stick and wearing a headband that read Rainbow Cookies.

"What's really going on?" said Kudou was surprised and creeped out to see the live stream of Rainbow Cookies concert at this time.

The camera that had not moved since then showed that no one had set it up and Kudou saw someone he knew.

"Iraya?!"

And after seeing Iraya who was trying to break up the riotous audience with each other, the live streaming connection for the area outside Nagoya was cut off.

Back inside the city of Nagoya, this time inside the White Cloud office. They were in a state of chaos because suddenly everyone went crazy and attacked each other. And they are the ones who know the most about the current situation. Is correct. This is Exception.

"Report, Chief Mushino! The conditions around the office are the same! The citizens also cannot control themselves and act aggressively."

Tilit...

In addition to someone who came to his room, he also got a phone call that he immediately picked up and listened to. And that was also a report from the other White Cloud members.

"Report, Chief! We are currently about 30 Km away from the dome and the residents are also starting to rampage. Please give the order immediately!"

"Keep doing as I command. Tie them up and separate them so they don't hurt each other! If you have to, make them unconscious!"

"Good!" Then he hung up the phone. Mushino also looked towards the person who was currently in his room waiting for orders. "The government applies to you as well. Do it!"

"Good!" And he went from there.

Mushino who was currently alone in his room could only think in silence. Although he suspected that this was an Exception, but attacking on this scale required extraordinary ability and preparation.

It all started with the dome of the Rainbow Cookies concert venue, so he assumed that they were targeting one of the Rainbow Cookies members. Because the citizens who were aggressive shouted the word 'Protect Rainbow Cookies'.

"But still, the person who did this was too reckless," he murmured with a grim smile.

Then Mushino suspected the plotters were always causing trouble in Japan, Astaroth and his men. He had heard that Astaroth was killed by Oita-san despite having to sacrifice his life, but unlike his men who disappeared without news.

They could have replaced Astaroth as the leader and carried out this attack. But this attack was too early and hasty because they had just lost their leader.

"Armgh! My head's dizzy!" Mushino shouted in surrender to think about their true motives.

"Either they are stupid or my thoughts are not up, which obviously I have to stop the commotion first. Otherwise, I could have been the subject of Ryuzaki's ridicule at the next meeting.

And it just so happened that when he stopped thinking about all the possibilities, the other White Cloud members came into his room in a panic.

"Report, Chief!"

"What's wrong?"

"Our forces who are detaining citizens from harming each other have been attacked!"

"How many people?"

"On that .. there are two people, Chairman!"

"No way! Fifty of you are overwhelmed just by facing two people?"

"Pardon me!"

Mushino then got up from his chair and walked out of the room past the White Cloud members earlier. "What are you waiting for? Quickly get me to them!"

"Ba-good!"

Delta spouted flames through his hands that burned the clothes of several White Cloud members and made them panic and run randomly. While Baram managed to paralyze and finish off ten opponents at once with just his bare hands that made his face and clothes filled with blood."

"Are you done?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"???" The attention of the two of them was then distracted by the arrival of two people, one of whom they knew well.

"He ...." Delta's speech depends on when he gets to know the person who came but still hesitates a little. "... There's no mistaking it, he's Mushino Aoda" Baram continued.

"So you guys are causing trouble here?" Mushino watched the two of them more closely. He knew the great man, but not the man with the mask and the robe.

"It turns out that my guess is right, you're the one who caused this problem. Did you guys get Astaroth's replacement or something until you dared to do something this big?"

But they did not answer Mushino's question. After a moment of silence, Delta instead moved a few steps ahead of Baram. "May I take care of that here by myself? You can go to Seana and the others" Delta said.

"But, Boss says—"

"I'll be fine. You don't have to worry about me, after all I have to prove my strength so that people can acknowledge my abilities. And this is a good time."

Although covered by a mask, Baram seemed to be able to see the face of confidence behind it. That made him unable to resist any further.

"I understand." And in silence, Baram went away leaving Delta alone. Letting him face the White Cloud leader.

Delta smiled in his mask. "Yes, I will prove my strength here." And after that murmur, his focus this time was on the opponent in front of him—Mushino Aoda.

Back to the dome. Yep, the atmosphere suddenly became chaotic and people started acting strange like zombies. They attacked and injured each other while muttering the word 'Protect Rainbow Cookies' repeatedly.

"Come on, why are you guys, anyway?! Just act normal a little bit!" I shouted to them.

But they didn't seem to listen to my warning. Instead they glanced at me and like targeting me all. "Si-shit."

Hundreds of people started moving towards me and tried to attack me. I had no choice but to dodge, as they were just ordinary citizens who lost consciousness. So I still can't attack him—At least that's my conclusion at the moment.

I ran towards the dome wall and tried to reach for the curtains I would use to ride avoiding them all. Haha! You guys are a lot, but I have a strategy right now.

"Eh?"

My little celebration was cut short as one of them managed to grab my leg and try to pull me down. And since one person had managed to grab me, the other person also became easier and pulled me along.

"The curtain!"

The fabric curtains that were not strong enough to withstand the pull of hundreds of people finally gave up and torn to make me fall on hundreds of them.

"Whoever help me!"

The waist down my body this time was getting heavy because they were overlapping each other and I was getting more and more unable to move. I could only crawl and try to reach out to anyone who could help me.

And as I was getting desperate, I suddenly saw the legs of someone walking over to me and the weight on my lower body slowly disappeared. I'm trying to see who the hero is that saved me.

"Herlin?"

"What are you waiting for again? Get up quick."

I didn't move from my current position for a while. Later, I commented on what I saw.

"Are you always like that when you look down?"

Buaagh...

A kick pointed right, sharp, and accurate towards my face which sent me bouncing a few meters away. And after that I woke up even though I was still a little dizzy from Herlin's kick.

The people who had been oppressing me were now drifting due to Herlin's ability with the help of Mei-senpai's wind element. Then then swiftly and deftly, Nigiyaka-san directly tied them up so as not to attack us or each other.

Then there was Caramel who locked them into small confinements that were only enough for a few people, Ishikawa-san and Akihito-san also helped a lot.

White Cloud had also notified by phone that no one was allowed to harm the citizens, so me and the others made minimal physical contact. Our cooperation as an organization really went smoothly and after a dozen minutes later, the commotion inside the dome managed to subside.

"Yosh's. This is the last." I tied the last man up with a rope so they wouldn't act aggressively.

"Is it all?" ask Ishikawa-san.

Most of us have a positive response. Except for Akihito-san and Nigiyaka-san who still feel disturbed. And it seemed like his conjecture was right when a playing card flew towards him.

Nigiyaka-san was able to catch it well and looked at the playing card that had a message on one side. After reading it, he then took Akihito-san and Mei-senpai along with him.

"Akihito, Mei, come with me quickly."

They nodded. "Good."

"I leave it to you guys who are here, the three of us have a little business."

After they left in a hurry, this time my focus was on Arisu who was on stage. He was facing—more precisely dodging aggressive attacks from other members of Rainbow Cookies.

"What happened to you guys?! Have you forgotten who I am?!"

But the four of them did not care about it and continued to attack Arisu. Their eyes looked like they were being controlled just like the other victims.

As Arisu continued to try and there was no progress, he was surprised when someone moved quickly and hit the nape of the four of them which made them unconscious, namely Herlin.

"What are you doing?! Don't hurt them!"

Plaac... Zwuush...

But then Herlin walked up to Arisu and slapped him, even though it didn't work because something was blocking his face. But Herlin didn't care much about it.

"Take it easy, I just knocked him unconscious. You're an exception too, right?" Herlin looked at her reddened palm after trying to slap Arisu. "Then you should also know that you need to be calm in situations like this."

"But—!"

"I know they're your precious friends, but we don't know what really happened to them. And it's our job to find out."

Arisu swallowed the reality in silence. He was a little uneasy earlier because his friends were involved in it, but thanks to Herlin now he had felt calmer.

"I understand. I'm sorry, now let's take the four of them to the break room."

Herlin nodded and finally took them backstage, calling me to help carry the rest of the Rainbow Cookies who were unconscious.
