Chapter 58: The Vulnerable Holy Maiden

"Mmm"

Seeing Morin, who was wearing a highly recognizable set of equipment, the Holy Maiden's beautiful eyes lacked their usual composure, filled with panic as she struggled and made rapid whimpering sounds.

There was no way that any girl, even one like the Holy Maiden, wouldn't feel uneasy if a not-too-familiar man suddenly climbed in through her window late at night and even covered her mouth. Even though the Holy Maiden had learned about male-female interactions and was even trying to push Morin away with a terrified expression, her instinct was to shout loudly for help!

But it was all in vain. The Holy Maiden's struggles had no effect, at most just allowing Morin to take advantage of her.

Morin used one hand to cover the Holy Maiden's cherry lips from behind, and the other hand reached around her slender waist, directly placing the Holy Maiden on the bed. Then, after the Holy Maiden's struggling force lessened, he looked at her delicate face through his helmet and said very simply, "Holy Maiden, I can let go, but please don't shout loudly. I can stop you at any time, understand?"

"Mmm... mmm..."

Hearing Morin's voice, the Holy Maiden's panicked beautiful eyes blinked a few times, and then she nodded hard, indicating that she understood.

Although she was a political mascot, the Holy Maiden was still very intelligent. At least she knew that it was impossible for her to raise the alarm in front of Morin. After Morin let go of her, she didn't do anything useless, but instead took a few small breaths. Her delicate face, which had turned red from struggling and difficulty breathing, gradually calmed down. Then she saw Morin, who had just taken off his combat helmet!

"Mr. Morin? What are you planning to do?"

Looking at Morin, whom she had seen in person once three months ago, the Holy Maiden's voice trembled slightly, but she still tried to appear calm and asked.

The Holy Maiden had a very deep impression of Morin. That was the first time she had seen someone directly confront Tendou Kikunojo, and even fallen out with the chief adjutant Tendou Kikunojo because of the Cursed Children, yet hadn't been suppressed by Tendou Kikunojo (the Holy Maiden had no idea how much trouble Morin had secretly caused Tendou Kikunojo and the Tendou family). Even with the many difficult missions of exterminating and hunting Gastrea, Morin, whose World Civil Security IP ranking had risen to 176th, made the Holy Maiden want to meet him again to talk and communicate, but she was dissuaded by Tendou Kikunojo.

However, the Holy Maiden had never expected that Morin, whom she had seen again just yesterday through a remote video conference, would be standing alive in front of her today, and in such a way silently infiltrating the Holy Residence?

"Well, should I say, I plan to discuss an important matter with you privately, Holy Maiden!"

Seeing the Holy Maiden's wary and doubtful gaze, Morin spread his hands and said very sincerely.

"Discuss things? You can directly apply to see me..."

The Holy Maiden was slightly stunned and was about to continue speaking when Morin directly interrupted her.

"Apply to see you, Holy Maiden? Hehe..."

Morin couldn't help but chuckle softly at the Holy Maiden's naive words. Looking at the Holy Maiden, who seemed like a beautiful porcelain doll, a disdainful sneer appeared on his face. "Don't even mention that I have important matters to discuss with the Holy Maiden. In fact, even just wanting to see the Holy Maiden, can it be done without the approval of Chief Adjutant Tendou Kikunojo?"

Morin's rebuttal left the Holy Maiden speechless, not knowing how to address the issue.

Saying that as long as Morin applied, he could see her? The Holy Maiden couldn't bring herself to say such obvious nonsense, and she also knew that Morin definitely wouldn't believe it!

But saying that Morin was right, and that if Tendou Kikunojo didn't agree, it would be difficult for her to insist on seeing strange outsiders, was the plain truth, like a caged canary. The Holy Maiden opened her mouth but couldn't say it, and in the end, she could only face the topic with silence.

"...Mr. Morin, what exactly is the matter that you came to me in this way?"

After a few seconds of silence, the Holy Maiden finally spoke, her obvious attempt to change the subject making Morin's brows slightly relax without him saying anything.

"Of course it's an important matter! Holy Maiden, you can take a look at these things first!"

Morin looked at the Holy Maiden meaningfully, noticing her somewhat unnatural avoidance of his gaze. He didn't dwell on the previous topic and directly handed a large stack of folders to the Holy Maiden, his expression becoming quite playful as he spoke.

Not knowing what Morin wanted to do, the Holy Maiden took the stack of folders, which was over half a foot high, with some suspicion. After pulling out one of the files and starting to read it, the Holy Maiden's expression changed!

...

"H-how could this be?"

"Even the Monoliths have been tampered with? How could they do this?"

"These people... how could they do such cruel things... even treating their own compatriots as prey..."

In less than half an hour, looking at the numerous folders in front of her and their contents, the Holy Maiden's delicate face turned pale, and she murmured to herself. A pair of slender jade hands were tightly clasped in front of her chest, as if she couldn't believe the many things that refreshed her understanding of humanity's bottom line.

Accurately speaking, those files were various scandals involving several corrupt members of the Tendou family and dignitaries in the Tokyo Area!

In the original plot, Sima Heavy Industries was able to find relevant information, and Morin, who knew the plot, certainly didn't let it go. Within the Tokyo Area's civilian and internal networks, which had been infiltrated by his Trojan program, there were various suspected or confirmed clues. Morin even only needed to find a few suitable target dignitaries and infiltrate their private residences or family gardens to obtain a large amount of black material about the Tendou family and the Tokyo Area's dignitaries.

For example, within the dozen or so folders that the Holy Maiden was currently looking at, there was conclusive evidence and numerous responsible individuals regarding the shoddy construction of Monolith 32 and other Monoliths, reducing the planned amount of Varanium for private sale and personal gain. Then, most of the remaining information was evidence of embezzlement, corruption, bribery, and smuggling Varanium ore to other gathering areas. And the rest, such as personally hunting humans with firearms, playing games with pure young girls, and personally torturing innocent people to death, made one marvel at how humanity constantly refreshed its own bottom line in the post-apocalyptic era.

Even when Morin first saw these black materials, he had the urge to kill those scum. The Holy Maiden, who had never been exposed to these dark sides before, felt a shock that even made her feel unable to accept it after seeing the many bottom lines of human nature for the first time!

"How is it? Holy Maiden, after seeing these things, what are your thoughts?"

Morin waited for a while, until the Holy Maiden's mental state had improved a bit, before asking.

"They... they will definitely be punished by the law..."

The Holy Maiden took a deep breath, tried hard to suppress the anger and sorrow in her heart, and answered Morin's question through gritted teeth.

Regarding the authenticity of those files, the somewhat naive but not too stupid Holy Maiden could still judge that those photos and documents were definitely not forged at least, wanting to forge these photos and documents, it was impossible to forge all the facts, and with detailed records of witness testimonies, physical evidence, and time and location information, verifying the authenticity of these matters was extremely simple!

And the Holy Maiden herself obviously couldn't tolerate these matters and the people involved. However, after she blurted out "punished by the law" after thinking for a moment, she saw the corners of Morin's mouth twitching upwards.

"Law? Hehe, Holy Maiden, you are indeed a naive and pure little girl. What do you think the law is?"

Morin couldn't help but laugh at the Holy Maiden's answer, and then directly exposed the so-called true situation of the law: "The so-called law is nothing more than a fig leaf for the plunder of the lower classes by the higher classes. If you really think that the law can punish them, then I can only say that you are too naive!"

"..."

The Holy Maiden was somewhat stammering, but didn't know how to refute him.

What struck the Holy Maiden even harder was Morin's unceremonious revelation of the current situation of the upper echelons in the Tokyo Area. "To be honest, if it were before, the law was still a fig leaf covering up inequality. Now, the Tokyo Area is even about to tear off this fig leaf!"

"I can tell you very directly that it's not that no one inside the Tokyo Area knows about these people's crimes. Some people have even heard about or been given bribes and benefits, and instead of opposing this situation, they've joined in. A few people who can't stand it dare not say anything, after all, behind the Tendou family and these people is Chief Adjutant Tendou Kikunojo!"

"Oh, it's understandable that the Holy Maiden doesn't know. Tendou Kikunojo definitely wouldn't tell you these things, and he wouldn't even say that the loss of the Relic of the Seven Stars this time and the deaths of the previous two Holy Maidens also have his part in it. He just wants you to be a pretty vase!"

Morin had no scruples and revealed the many shocking secrets he had found to the Holy Maiden without changing his expression.

To be honest, in the three months that Morin had been causing trouble for the Tendou family and Tendou Kikunojo, the various hidden secrets of the Tokyo Area that he had incidentally discovered were also eye-opening.

At least, the current Holy Maiden of the Tokyo Area was a young girl, the third Holy Maiden. So who were the previous two Holy Maidens? Why did they disappear silently?

This kind of thing wasn't mentioned at all in the "Black Bullet" anime plot. The Tokyo Area's external narrative was that the two Holy Maidens had successively died in battle on the way to establishing the gathering area. Even the ordinary people within the Tokyo Area were somewhat brainwashed by the propaganda, focusing more on the current mascot Holy Maiden and completely unaware of the situation of the previous two Holy Maidens.

However, among the clues that Morin found, the deaths of the previous two Holy Maidens were extremely suspicious, clearly belonging to core figures of the Tokyo Area, and then dying in battle due to "emergency" or "accident" Among the many clues found, Tendou Kikunojo's suspicion was undoubtedly the greatest.

However, when Morin revealed these shocking secrets, the Holy Maiden only felt dizzy and couldn't believe her ears at all!
