Chương 576: Chapter 576: Allies of Justice
Domino City.
The sunset poured like molten gold across the sky, dyeing the horizon a gentle orange-red. A jet streaked through the gorgeous dusk, carving the firmament like a silver shooting star and leaving a long trail across the tapestry of blue and amber.
Kira—or rather, the Revolver—was inside the cabin.
Kurozaki respectfully handed him a tablet.
Kira took it, idly swiped a few times, and skimmed.
"Soul Eater," Kira read the dossier. "That's what they call this guy?"
"Yeah."
Kurozaki nodded. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"A newcomer who popped up in the last two months, mostly active in Domino City and the surrounding area," Kurozaki briefed. "Thirteen serial murders over two months, all victims are women with similar looks.
"And the common point: modern forensics can't determine the cause of death. But according to reliable intel, anyone with sight for the supernatural can see the same dark energy fluctuation inside the victims."
"The power of Dark Games," Kira said blandly.
"Yeah. If you ask me, there's an eighty percent chance he's a freshly awakened ability user."
Kurozaki shrugged.
"This kind of thing's not rare. The world's big—every so often, some idiot who doesn't know the height of the sky crawls out of the woodwork.
"Maybe he stumbled on some antique, or a single card—whatever it is, he accidentally gets some extraordinary power he's never even heard of.
"Then he decides what he's got must be the pinnacle of worldly might; it goes to his head, and naturally he starts thinking about using it to do as he pleases."
He shook his head.
"Nine times out of ten these are self-taught nobodies. The moment they get a little skill, they think they're beyond restraint—laughable."
Kira knew what he meant.
If he'd been fostered by a proper organization of Dark Duelists, he wouldn't be acting so suicidally cocky. Anyone with a clue about the supernatural side of the world should understand there's always someone stronger.
The truly formidable bosses can destroy worlds and overturn time—and even at that level, they don't dare get cocky. After all, even the real eldritch gods with that ability have had grass five yards high growing over their graves by now.
So the more you know of the dark world, the more you should realize that truly doing whatever you want is almost impossible. Only frogs at the bottom of the well, who've never seen the breadth of the world, get smug over their tiny puddles.
"I still don't get it, boss."
Kurozaki looked puzzled.
"Why do we—uh, I mean, why do we go out of our way to mess with these guys?"
This wasn't the first time.
Ever since Revolver came back from the Dark Web, he'd gotten very interested in people who abused dueling power for evil, and had specifically set up an intel net to track them.
Kurozaki didn't understand why.
Kira only gave him a slight smile.
"Because we're allies of justice." 1
Kurozaki almost choked.
He thought of this leader's duels brimming with malice, and remembered the vicious, insidious methods he'd seen on previous field ops—more ruthless than the nastiest cartel boss.
"You're an ally of justice? Then justice in this world sure is dark…"
