Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 289

Chapter 289: The Raid
[We recently got reports the recent terrorist attacks that decimated large portions of the city are close to being resolved as the terrorists have been tracked down to a remote region of Saitama. The police and other law enforcement agencies have urged civilians in the area to follow their commands and stay put until they arrive on the scene.]

Luna was about to change the channel on the television, but Luna paused as she heard what the newscaster said. Luna heard the sound of sirens outside and she quickly stood up and limped over to the window to get a look at what was happening outside. The sirens were wailing through the entire city. Luna could tell that the police cars were far away, but they were still very loud.

‘That means there are a lot of them. What the hell are they doing?’

Luna was confused as she turned back to the television and heard the newscaster introduce someone else.

[On the scene is Lieutenant Kirishima who will tell us more about the situation.]

Another man appeared on the screen and started to speak once he was introduced. The man was wearing the uniform of a police officer and had many badges on his chest that showed just how high-ranked he was.

[We implore all citizens of Saitama and the surrounding environs to remain indoors and not be alarmed. Various police squadrons have been sent out to the different Saitama sectors in a joint operation that will cover the entire region. So long as you are not one of the terrorists, you have nothing to fear.]

The lieutenant was speaking calmly and there was even a bit of consolation in his tone that would make anyone think that he cared a lot about the people and was worried that they would be harmed from the raid. But Luna knew better. Ever since the broadcast started, Luna could see that neither the lieutenant nor the female reporter was normal.

“They aren’t blinking properly.”

The two people that Luna saw on the screen were blinking in a way that was abnormal to Luna. Normally, a human did not have set intervals between blinks. A normal human blinked at least once every five seconds, but Luna could tell that the two people on the screen were timing their blinks right down to the last microsecond.

1. 2. Blink.

1. 2. Blink.

1. 2. Blink.

It was like clockwork and Luna was only able to pick up on it with her keen senses. It was likely that no one else would even notice something so inconsequential.

There was something wrong. Those people aren’t normal, which meant that this raid wasn’t normal either. This has to be the work of the king. Was this the king’s power? Earlier, Luna predicted that the king would be able to control others with their power, but she did not know that she hit the nail on the head that precisely.

If this was a normal raid, then Luna would have simply blended into the crowd and gone along with whatever they wanted her to do. Luna might be a mage back on Earth, but she is a normal human right now. She couldn’t even think about fighting against anyone, especially since she was injured, so the best that she could do was to blend in and hope that they did not pick her out.

But now that Luna knew that these two were not normal, could she risk something like that?

[The identity of the terrorists is still unknown, so all the citizens will be temporarily confined and eventually released after a thorough investigation is carried out. We ask that you cooperate with us and allow us to complete our duties without issues. Thank you.]

Lieutenant Kirishima finally finished what he had been saying and Luna was able to breathe freely as she finally heard the one thing that she needed to hear. They did not know who she was.

Luna immediately limped towards the room to get ready.

Bam!

“Jellybeans!”

Luna cursed as her leg slammed into the table at the side, but she ignored the sharp pain that shot up her spine as she continued towards the room. Once she got to the room, she threw off the singlet and trousers that she had slept in, leaving herself in only her underwear before she found a track pant and a hoodie that would be very large on her and threw them on. She then raised the hood to cover her face.

WheeWhoo! WheeWhoo! WheeWhoo! WheeWhoo!

The sound of police vehicles was getting louder and Luna quickly limped over to the kitchen and found anything that she could use as a weapon. There was a large butcher’s knife in one of the cupboards and a smaller knife that would be good for throwing in another one. Luna took them both and stuffed them into her hoodie before she wobbled over to the exit and opened the door.

“Ugh, sunlight.” (A/N: My honest reaction anytime I go outside.)

Luna groaned as she felt the bright sun smack her in the face and she had to wait for a few moments for her eyes to readjust to the change. Once she was readjusted, she opened her eyes and saw that she was not the only one outside. Every person living around that area had come out of their houses. Many of them looked very scared and surprised as they waited for the policemen to come. They were all standing in secluded groups with other people that they trusted, and there was no conversation between the strangers. No one knew who the terrorists looked like, so they were all cautious and made sure that they did not somehow get involved with the terrorists unknowingly.

Once Luna came out, it almost seemed like cold water was poured on the face of every single man there. Each and every single one of them was mesmerized as they stared at the beautiful woman in front of them. Even though Luna was wearing very baggy clothes, her face was not covered, so they couldn’t take their eyes off her! It was like taking a Bugatti and covering half of it in a dirty tarp. No matter how much you try, everyone will still know that it is a beautiful supercar!

“Hello, I couldn’t help but notice that you’re limping. Are you injured? Do you need any help?”

“She’s injured? How could something like this happen? She needs help.”

“Forget about this whole raid, she needs to be treated at once. Let’s call an ambulance.”

Luna looked around as many of the men around her started to come towards her in worry and asked her if she was okay. Luna did her best to smile at them and tell them that she was fine, but she was not even paying any attention to them as she looked at where the policemen were coming from. She hoped that this wouldn’t cause them to pay too much attention to her.
