After all, just look at their firepower.
Honestly, they weren't even as good as the guards in the base.
At least the guards had shotguns.
Soon, Xia Yan walked through the gate and out of the experimental base where he had been imprisoned for who knows how long.
"Oh, it's a pharmaceutical company."
Looking at the words "Fujino Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd." hanging on the gate, Natsuhiko muttered to himself.
The island nation's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has a department called the Ajin Management Committee, which will stop at nothing to capture Ajin and then rent them out to companies such as car manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, or weapons companies for human experimentation in exchange for huge profits.
Clearly, Xia Yan, the third demi-human captured within the island nation, was rented by this pharmaceutical company to be used as a clinical trial subject for drugs.
"Second warning: Surrender immediately! Otherwise, we will shoot you dead on the spot!"
Perhaps because there were reporters around, some even broadcasting live, the police did not fire directly, but instead gave Xia Yan a second warning.
"Hey! Isn't that Xia Yan...?"
"It seems that's really true, the third demi-human in the country!"
"Wasn't he already under government protection? Why is he here?!"
As Xia Yan drew closer, his appearance was revealed to the reporters.
The reporters were clearly even more excited when they discovered the identity of the third demi-human in his country.
They almost broke through the police's blockade.
This reckless behavior actually piqued Xia Yan's interest.
Xia Yan originally intended to be the hidden controller of this world, since he set his goals based on the strength of the world at that time.
However, given their current strength, it seems that becoming the de facto ruler is not impossible.
If we can leverage the power of the media to amplify the situation, it will be easier to achieve our goals.
With that in mind, Xia Yan changed his original plan and walked towards the reporters.
"I have something I want to say to you."
Hearing this, the reporters became even more excited.
The fact that the other party shares the same idea clearly means there's something big going to happen.
They all exerted every ounce of strength to break through the police's defenses.
The police officers who blocked the road were outraged by Xia Yan's arrogant and domineering attitude, which showed he didn't take them seriously at all. If it weren't for the fact that there were onlookers and reporters all around, they would have opened fire long ago.
Unfortunately, Xia Yan had no weapons at all, nor could he hide them anywhere on his body.
They showed no intention of committing any violence along the way, so all they could do was issue a third warning and fire a warning shot.
boom!
Gunfire rang out.
This calmed down the reporters who were frantically rushing towards the protective barriers.
The lead officer with the megaphone then issued another warning to Xia Yan.
"Criminal Xia Yan, this is your final warning! Surrender immediately, or we will shoot you!"
"You guys are so annoying..."
Xia Yan's face darkened as he looked at the bullet hole near his feet.
Although I never intended for these people to return alive, I didn't expect them to be in such a hurry.
Disaster struck again.
Chapter 158 The Evil Demi-humans Attempt to Conquer the Nation
Looking at the reporters and onlookers who stood quietly in the pool of blood, trembling like quails, Xia Yan nodded in satisfaction.
Given that the previous police officers had been too noisy, Xia Yan specifically set aside a minute.
It made them realize the importance of quiet in a heart-wrenching way.
These people will probably be grateful for Xia Yan's kind guidance in their next life.
However, after seeing living people being torn apart like pieces of paper by a black humanoid monster.
The reporters and onlookers were also caught up in the commotion.
Left with no other choice, Xia Yan pulled off the legs and heads of several of the most energetic runners, arranged them in a circle, and made the remaining reporters and onlookers stay obediently inside the circle.
This made these restless people realize the importance of discipline.
After restoring discipline, Xia Yan began his speech with a smile.
"Now that everyone has quieted down, please take note of what I'm about to say: Is that live stream still running...?"
Yes! Perfectly normal!
The reporter who was asked about 870 by Xia Yan was startled and answered with all his might.
They were terrified that if they answered too slowly, their heads would be ripped off and their lives would be in danger.
After all, he had just witnessed those who were trying to escape being chased by winged black phantoms who tore off their heads and legs like fried chicken.
He didn't think his body was any more robust than others.
Xia Yan didn't care about the other party's attitude, after all, even if the attitude was good, he didn't intend to let him leave alive.
The only reason they didn't kill him was because he was still streaming.
"Well, although you may have already recognized me, we're still live streaming, so let me introduce myself first."
"My name is Xia Yan, also known as the third demi-human discovered in the island nation..."
"The reason for being here is that I was used as a test subject at this experimental base, where some cruel and inhumane human experiments were conducted."
As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion broke out in the room.
This time, Xia Yan ignored their commotion and continued speaking as if holding a press conference:
"Actually, I was quite confused at first too."
"If these companies are willing to pay, for a demi-human like me who can't die, cooperating a little and using one or two lives to cooperate with the experiment in exchange for compensation is not an unacceptable thing."
"Why resort to such harsh methods..."
"During the time I served as a test subject, I thought about it for a long time before I finally understood."
"Because this money is extremely expensive, some powerful and influential people saw the potential profits and wanted to swallow it up."
"So they used force to capture the demi-humans, took them as their property, and then rented them out at high prices."
At this point, Xia Yan paused slightly, giving those who were lost in thought because of his words a little time to sort out their thoughts.
"This country is outrageous..."
"Using violence to exchange other people's lives for money is even worse than human trafficking!"
"But it doesn't matter anymore..."
"Now, I don't care about such trivial things anymore."
Xia Yan's words were indeed sincere.
He truly doesn't care anymore.
After all, it won't be long before he makes the whole world feel pain.
After hearing Xia Yan's remarks, the reporters had clearly forgotten their earlier fear and raised their microphones to question his words.
"What did you say?! You're just talking about urban legends, aren't you?!"
"Back in 05, some videos of the US military conducting human experiments on demi-humans were indeed leaked online, causing a lot of controversy. So at that time, many people were wondering, 'Will something similar happen in China?' But..."
What evidence do you have to prove your statement?
Upon hearing this question, Xia Yan turned his gaze over.
A reporter with a stubble beard raised a microphone to Xia Yan, his face full of doubt.
Clearly, influenced by his professional instincts as a journalist, he had completely emerged from the shadow of death he had just experienced.
"That's a very good question..."
Xia Yan smiled and nodded at him, then, under the other's expectant gaze, slapped the reporter's head, turning it into a puddle of mush.
Snapped--
A sound like a watermelon bursting open came from behind.
Blood splattered on Xia Yan's cheeks, adding a touch of sinister charm to his already handsome face.
He didn't wipe the blood off his face, but just smiled and looked around.
The reporters, who had just begun to gain momentum, turned into quails again under his gentle gaze.
"Please don't get me wrong. I'm not telling you this to play the victim and ask for comfort! I don't need to give you any explanations or provide any evidence."
"I'm simply using you journalists to unilaterally issue a declaration, or rather, a notification, to this country!"
"Next, I will rule this country with absolute violence and terror!"
Xia Yan opened his eyes and looked at the live stream camera.
The mad malice in his eyes seemed to be about to turn into a black liquid and flow out.
The sight of it would likely send chills down the spine of most people, causing physical discomfort such as suffocation, vomiting, or mental breakdown.
"My demi-human number is 3."
"three……"
"Excellent numbers! I'll give you three days!"
Xia Yan smiled and raised his hand to the camera, tucking in his little finger and ring finger to make a three-finger gesture.
"Three days from now, I want to see all the leaders of this country kneel before me and commit seppuku. I will be the second!"
