Yamaoka despaired.
It was all over.
After a last-ditch struggle like a dying flash of light, he seized a car in the chaos, piecing together the address from his delirious mumbling... He even passed out several times while driving. That he didn't wreck the car and lose his own life could only be explained by a miracle, a blessing from the Huojin God. He had traversed so many miracles to get here, but upon opening the door, he encountered the enemy he had just been fighting...!
Yamaoka was at a loss for words. Whether the opponent would cease fire or if there was any way to negotiate – such questions were nothing but elusive phantoms to his overloaded mind. The memory lapses from severe injuries made it impossible for him to think straight.
