章 321: Chapter 315: Keigo's Decision
Keigo was initially surprised at how a child could find him and was even more astonished to learn that this child is the key.
Yes, Yuki is the child, or rather, a clone of him.
"I can cure your son, Fourth..."
Hearing these words was a great relief for Keigo. You must know that his son's disease is in a terminal state, and there is no cure. Hearing that there is a way to save him left him relieved, but he didn't let this cloud his judgment.
Firstly, this child is very suspicious, not to mention there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. So, he wasn't sure if this was a blessing or ruin, especially in these days of the Survival Game.
"You don't have to be so defensive, Mr. Keigo. My intentions are good, and besides, our goals don't intersect. We can be friends, comrades in arms if you prefer."
Yuki, of course, knew that his appearance and the energy he exuded put this investigator on the defensive. Still, to win this game, Yuki must use all means at his disposal.
"My name is Yuki Uchiha, Mr. Keigo, and today I come offering you a deal that will benefit us both."
Smiling, Yuki didn't mind Keigo's suspicious gaze as he patiently explained his plan.
To start, Keigo has no ambition to become a God; his concern is his family and their safety. But at this moment, both are in danger.
Sakurami City is no longer safe. Yuki razed the city with the ice lions, and Twelfth contributed to the destruction. This forced Keigo into hiding.
Knowing this, Yuki took advantage of this free labor. Keigo was clean, after all, and protecting his family made him a valuable asset, as they say, a man is strong if he has a family to protect.
"Let's hear what you have to say..."
As for Keigo, the situation was already dire. Making it worse only meant his death, and according to his Diary, this child did not come to harm him.
"You won't regret it..."
After some discussion, with the promise to cure his son and, as long as Keigo renounces the throne of God, both Yuki and Yuno won't harm him and will protect his family if necessary.
Of course, Keigo accepted the terms and brought Yuki to his family. Yuki fulfilled his promise to cure his son, or rather, transmitted the Apocalypse virus, a disease that destroyed the other one.
The child could run and live as he used to, no, he was stronger than before. Needless to say, Keigo was satisfied with the result.
This was also insurance for Yuki, preventing Keigo from betraying him. It was dirty to use the family as a hostage, but he had done many dirty things. Besides, this is about survival.
Fortunately, Keigo didn't betray him, as he stuck to the original plan and began to corner Tenth, leading him into Yuki's Network.
It must be said that Keigo's Diary was vital for this. With the power to predict crimes, the investigator's Diary, Tenth committed several minor crimes that were used against him. With this, Keigo was able to locate and threaten him.
Everything was going according to plan until Reisuke appeared.
That Reisuke was more powerful than Yuki expected was a flaw in the plan.
Reisuke was the toughest opponent Yuki had faced to date. Each of his movements was equivalent to moving a chess piece.
Yuki even suspected that if Reisuke wasn't satisfied with his answers about the fragments, that child would refuse to die and continue in the game, manipulating time, reviving, or some other madness.
Not to mention that this child even involved Minene in this battle.
This not only made it impossible to control the flow of time and energy but almost caused him to disappear due to excessive energy consumption.
So, when the Fighter Jets tried to kill him, his scattered clones began to disappear one by one. The original could no longer maintain its existence.
And this involved, of course, the clone lurking in the shadows of Keigo.
*Giii... Giiiii
"Mr. Keigo... There's trouble."
Emerging from Keigo's shadow, a Yuki clone flickered like a broken tape about to disappear.
"Huh?"
Seeing the child who followed him everywhere appearing in such a sorry state, Keigo's expression sank. These were bad news.
"What's wrong? Who left you in such bad shape?"
Although Keigo didn't know how powerful Yuki could be, he had seen with his own eyes that huge Ice Lion, as well as the many wonders this child had done. So, seeing him badly hurt for the first time worried Keigo.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Keigo... I'll fulfill my part of the deal; your family will be safe, but..."
With his body growing weaker, Yuki (Clone) explained the events that happened in Sakurami City, as well as warning about the danger of Minene, then disappeared into the shadows. His time had run out.
"Take care, Mr. Keigo... I hope we meet again; you have to survive..."
"Curses! ..."
Seeing the child disappear before his eyes, Keigo clenched his fist with force.
This absurd game is becoming darker. An entire city was destroyed with hundreds of thousands of people.
Worthy of nuclear bombs, the scale of the disaster cannot be underestimated.
(No, I can't drag my family into this)
Seeing that his support had disappeared, Keigo thought of various ways out, such as fleeing the country. However, he quickly dismissed the idea. These nuclear monsters won't stand idly by; sooner or later, they will find him, just like Yuki did. There are still two more days; anything can happen in that time.
"First, Third, Fifth, Eighth, Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth, they're all dead..."
Recording the deaths in his Diary, Keigo tossed his cigarette to the ground. Fortunately, more than half of the participants are already dead. Also, his family is in a safe place, as long as he doesn't make contact with them to prevent his enemy from taking advantage of that and survives until Yuki returns, it will be his victory.
*Shiiiii
[April 11, 2:35 PM]
[Ninth has found me]
[DEAD END]
Unfortunately, his wishes could not be fulfilled because his Diary sounded, and the death message appeared.
"They found me, huh?"
Taking another cigarette from his pocket, Keigo looked at the people walking on the streets of the city calmly. This peaceful city will disappear if he doesn't do something.
"No, I can't drag them with me; they're all innocent..."
Shaking his head at his naivety, Keigo's body flickered, and his eyes gleamed with cruelty.
(I won't die so easily; I still have a family to take care of...)

"This is the place, huh?... What a mediocre hiding spot."
High in the sky, Minene looked down at the forest beneath her feet. From this place, energy fluctuations were emitted, as if calling her.
(A trap? No, it isn't)
At first, she thought this might be something planned by Fourth. Still, after checking her Diary, her concerns were alleviated.
"As expected of someone from the law, can't harm innocent civilians."
Indeed, Keigo had had a sense of morality and justice within him for years. That's why he became a police officer; he couldn't kill innocent people for his own gain. Now that his son is healthy, he has no reason to become a murderer.
He still holds a sense of duty within him; he is a good man.
"I see you chose a nice place for your grave, Mr. Policeman~"
With a disdainful look, Minene descended, not forgetting to insult Keigo.
This man was, after all, her old 'friend' since many times he or his unit pursued her in the past for acts of terrorism. You could say both were in the same cat-and-mouse business.
However, this time, the roles were reversed.
"Not a bad place, right? I didn't think you'd come so quickly, Ninth."
Bringing a cigarette to his mouth, Keigo replied calmly, and as he looked at Minene, Keigo inhaled from his cigarette.
Yuki was right; Minene's energy level is very powerful, more powerful than Yuki's own. Now, he understood why Yuki was so alert with her; Ninth is dangerous.
