Evolution game, nothing more than that!

Yamasaki An quickly made a gesture to silence her.

Mai Sakurajima reacted immediately and said in a low voice:

"Did you do the Kyoto case?"

"To be precise, I did it. Xing was just a bystander watching."

Yi Shen spoke at this time.

"...So, why did you do this?"

Sakurajima Mai asked with a serious look.

Although she trusted Yi Shen very much - after all, he saved her personally - and she also liked Yamasaki An, a girl one year older than her, but if both of them had antisocial personalities, she would have to consider whether it was the right decision to team up with them.

Fortunately, Yi Shen immediately told her the whole story, especially the victims he saw in the cult base, and how Yamasaki An was framed by her mother and almost sent to the cult to be toyed with. Sakurajima Mai's attitude changed instantly, and she immediately expressed 100% support for the actions of the two.

"Well done! Those scumbags shouldn't be alive in this world!"

As someone who works in the entertainment industry, she naturally knows a lot about the dirty things in that circle. Although she is well protected by her mother and has never been sexually exploited by anyone, she feels disgusted from the bottom of her heart for those scumbags who play with women at will and those villains who force women. No, she hates them!

Now, Yi Shen and his team have eliminated the cancer of the Eternal Life Cult, and she couldn't wait to applaud!

"Wait, you brought this up because you want to..."

She looked at Yamasaki An and suddenly realized something.

"Yes, I was thinking that if we encountered similar evil forces in real life, perhaps we could use them as targets to practice our teamwork skills?"

Yamasaki An said so.

When she said that, even Yi Shen turned his head to look at her in surprise.

Is this still the Yamasaki An he knew?

How dare you make such a suggestion?

In fact, Yamasaki An herself felt that her proposal was quite bold. If it were her in the past, she would definitely not have proposed it like this, and she would not even have thought about it in this way.

But whether it was the experience in the last mission or the changes brought about by Ada Wong's character card, she had unknowingly become much more decisive and bolder.

Things like using the evil forces in the real world to practice, in her eyes now, are just a trivial matter.

“That’s a really good idea.”

Yi Shen nodded, approving of Yamasaki An's proposal:

"After all, here in Japan, there are gangs, cults, chaebols who don't treat civilians as human beings, corrupt politicians, and all kinds of scum and insects. If any of them appear in our sight, we can deal with them and it will be considered as eliminating harm to the people!"

Chapter 73: The murderer released early from prison

Three days passed quickly.

During these three days, Sakurajima Mai would come to see Yi Shen and Yamasaki An whenever she had time.

Try the trial of the illusion and share your experience in the battle.

Of course, more often than not, I would just take the two of them out for a stroll on the street and enjoy the free and easy youth time.

"Hey, what's going on up ahead?"

One day, three people were walking on the street, strolling and chatting, but suddenly they found that there was a group of people blocking the road ahead, and it was very noisy and chaotic.

"It looks like some people are protesting something. Should we go over and take a look?"

Yi Shen suggested to the two girls.

"Let's go and have a look!"

Sakurajima Mai nodded with interest.

Although Yamasaki An was not the type to like joining in the fun, she did not object when she saw that both of them were very excited.

So the three of them came forward.

As they got closer, the three of them were able to figure out what was going on based on what they were shouting.

It turned out that a murderer named Yamada Yuki who had just been released from prison lived here. The family of the victim was dissatisfied with the fact that he was released after only a few years in prison, so they brought people to block the place in protest. By the way, there were also many passers-by like Yi Shen and the others who came to watch the fun, and they watched the show together.

"A murderer... can actually be released? I remember Japan has the death penalty, right? At the very least, it should be life imprisonment, right?"

Yamasaki An asked, somewhat puzzled.

"What you're talking about is the general situation. If it's manslaughter, or the killer is a minor, or they're just an accomplice, they might still only be sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment. Usually it's only a dozen years, and sometimes they're even released in less than ten years."

Although Yi Shen is not Japanese, he was born in Japan and has always lived in Japan. He is also an excellent student. He knows more about these basic legal issues than Yamasaki An, a native Japanese who has average academic performance.

"So the release of this murderer is legal? Then why are these family members protesting..."

She looked at the crowd that blocked most of the road and was a little unsure which side was the problem.

"Oh, I found out. Yamada Yuki raped and murdered a fifteen-year-old girl ten years ago. However, because he was under sixteen at the time of the crime, he was not given a severe sentence. He was only sentenced to fifteen years in prison. Later, because of his good behavior in prison, the court allowed him to be released on parole five years early."

Sakurajima Mai took out her cell phone at some point and searched for the murderer's information on the Internet.

She looked up at the crowd in front of her and sighed:

"These family members probably came to protest after hearing the news. He was given a light sentence because he was a minor at the time of the crime, but in the end he was released on parole five years early. I would be angry too."

"I see. Does this Yamada Yuki show any remorse for the crime he committed?"

Yi Shen nodded and asked.

"Let me see... well, looking at the comments online, it seems like everyone is saying this guy's remorse is fake and just superficial. Well, you guys can take a look too."

Sakurajima Mai said, handing the phone to the two of them.

Yi Shen and Yamasaki An went over, looked through the comments, and found the video of Yamada Yuki's confession.

In the video, Yamada Yuki, dressed in prison uniform, faced the camera and said indifferently, "I feel that I did act impulsively in the past," and "I will never do such things that hurt others again," etc. However, he did not say "sorry" to the original victim and his family throughout the whole process, and his expression was also perfunctory.

"Such a poor performance shows absolutely no remorse! And yet the court allowed him to be released on early parole?"

Yamasaki An couldn't help but say.

"Maybe he used bribes, or maybe his family has some connections? Oh, I see! Look here, this guy's background... His uncle is a county councilor in Kanagawa Prefecture. Ha, no wonder!"

Sakurajima Mai was flipping through the comments and soon came across Yamada Yuki's relationship network posted by an enthusiastic netizen. The name on the uncle's column was exactly the same as a person on the list of Kanagawa Prefectural Council members below.

Although it cannot be ruled out that they have the same name, considering that Yamada Yuki received such "favorable treatment", this matter is very likely to be true.

“I can only say that it was as expected.”

Yi Shen shrugged, not particularly surprised by the result.

Although Japan claims to be a democratic country that has inherited the essence of Western democracy, it is actually still a feudal aristocratic society at heart.

The so-called "separation of powers" learned from the United States is still nothing more than officials protecting each other and money and power dominating.

Although a county councilor may not be considered a big shot in the entire country, he is a real powerful person in the local area.

With the other party's status and influence, he doesn't even need to bribe. He just needs to meet with the judge in charge of the case, have a drink, and enjoy a Kabuki performance. The latter will most likely give him face and let Yamada Hiroki be released from prison a few years earlier.

In fact, if this congressman had become a member of parliament ten years ago, Yamada Hiroki probably wouldn't have to serve ten years in prison. He might have been acquitted directly on the pretext of suffering from mental illness.

What makes people feel most helpless is that none of this is even illegal, and all operations are within the scope permitted by Japanese legal procedures!

As for the families of the victims, no matter how angry they are, they can only protest and cannot change the outcome at all.

"This is the dirty world of adults!"

Yamasaki An also sighed.

She thought of what she had experienced. If it weren't for Yi Shen, she would probably be one of the victims of this dark side of society!

At this moment, shouts and curses suddenly rang out from the crowd, louder than before.

Yi Shen and the others looked up and found that they were in the fenced-off house. Someone was pulling open the curtains at the window and looking outside to see the reactions of the protesters. It seemed to be Yamada Hiroki.

Although it was just a quick glimpse, with Yi Shen's keen eyesight, he could still see the disdain that unconsciously flashed in the other person's eyes when he looked at the crowd outside.

Yi Shen frowned slightly.

He suddenly seemed to think of something and asked Sakurajima Mai:

"By the way, what was the name of the congressman you just mentioned?"

Yi Shen took Sakurajima Mai's phone again and looked at the list again.

Yoshiaki Kiryu.

Looking at the name circled in red, he always felt like he had seen it somewhere before.

Without hesitation, he directly activated the "super memory" mode of his brain and reviewed his past memories.

Soon, he found this name from his recent memory - he saw it in the notebook he got from the Church of Eternal Life, and it was one of the people who had financial dealings with the cult!

"What's wrong? Have you thought of anything?"

Mai Sakurajima looked at Yi Shen's strange reaction and asked immediately.

“I did think of something.”

Yi Shen raised his head and looked at the building surrounded by people:

"We have a special team-building activity tonight. Do you want to come?"

"..."

Sakurajima Mai followed his gaze and looked at the small building, then looked at Yi Shen. Suddenly she realized something and couldn't help but smile slightly and nodded.

"Of course!"

Chapter 74 "Team Building"

That night, Yi Shen and Yamasaki An appeared on the rooftop of a small building near Yamada Yuki's residence.

The two waited here for a while, and about ten minutes later, Sakurajima Mai's figure emerged from the air.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm late."

As she said this, her clothes were completely different from those during the day, and she wore a human skin mask on her face, turning into the person she was in the mission world.

"It's okay. We didn't agree on an exact time."

Yi Shen said nonchalantly.

After exchanging a nod and greeting with Yamasaki An, who was surprised after seeing her face, Sakurajima Mai walked forward and looked down following Yi Shen's gaze.

There, the crowds that had gathered during the day had disappeared, replaced by groups of police officers, with several police cars parked around.

It seems that after Yi Shen and the others left during the day, the people in the house called the police and asked them to come and protect them from the victim's family outside.

The police did come and guard the building to prevent anyone from doing anything impulsive.

It's outrageous, but so true.

"So, our action this time is to make Yamada Yuki pay the price he deserves?"

Looking at the patrolling police officers, Sakurajima Mai didn't care much.

If she wanted to, with her elusive ability to erase her presence, she could sneak in and kill everyone in the room without anyone outside noticing.

——For her, who had inherited the assassin's legacy, she was quite happy to take this kind of "doing justice for the heavens" action.

But this task is so easy, Yi Shen should be able to do it by himself, so there is no need to call everyone to act together, right?

"Of course it's more than that."

Yi Shen said:

"Killing this Yamada Yuki isn't going to be easy, but I think you've read the information I gave you. This guy's uncle, the county councilor named Kiryu Yoshiaki, is also one of the powerful people who are colluding with the Eternal Life Cult. I plan to clean up both of these scums at once."

"it is as expected……"

Sakurajima Mai nodded, not objecting to this, and even felt that Yi Shen's behavior was quite to her liking:

"So what's your plan?"

"For now, we only have the outline of a plan. The details will depend on the results of tonight's operation."

Yi Shen said, then looked at Sakurajima Mai:

"Today's protagonist is you. I need you to use your abilities and bring my clone into that mansion. Then I can torture Yamada Hiroki or his family to get information about the councilman, and set up a trap to lure him here."
