CHAPTER 793: CHAPTER 652: ASAHARA SHOKO IS TRULY FINISHED, THE FALL OF A GOD

Zaoyan Mountain is considered one of the more well-known mountains within the Sapporo region. It is not tall, with an elevation of only 531 meters.

Due to its beautiful scenery, in addition to being loved by tourists from outside, many local millionaires also enjoy this place.

Thus, there are many luxurious clubs in the mountain, with Julan being one of them, located in a very tranquil spot. Today, as usual, the entrance was full of cars, but unlike in the past, these cars all belonged to Aum Shinrikyo.

Before eight o’clock, all the top members of Aum Shinrikyo, including Asahara Shoko, had already gathered.

After all, tonight they were the hosts, so they naturally couldn’t let the guests wait. This was one of the reasons why Aoyama Xiu Xin let Asahara Shoko decide the location, the other being that choosing the location himself would make Asahara Shoko less wary.

Currently, they were enjoying tea in a Japanese-style room, and Asahara Shoko said to everyone, "Later, when Chief Aoyama and his people arrive, all of you must show them the utmost respect. Without their support, our sacred sect wouldn’t have expanded so smoothly in Hokkaido. There will be many more days of cooperation in the future, so don’t cause any trouble."

The reason for this reminder was because most of the high-ranking members of this sect came from humble backgrounds. Having wielded power over brainwashed followers for too long, some of them really started seeing themselves as gods, easily becoming arrogant and dismissive of others.

"Yes! Rest assured, Sect Hierarch, we will be cautious with our words and deeds." The Vice Sect Hierarch was the first to respond.

Others quickly echoed in agreement.

One of the high-ranking members glanced at his watch, frowned, and said, "But it’s almost eight now. They’re not really going to arrive right on the dot, are they? Wouldn’t that be disrespectful to the Sect Hierarch, disrespectful to our sacred sect?"

"Baka!" Asahara Shoko cursed, speaking irritably, "What did I just say? Put away your arrogance. They are not disciples. Your identity holds no sanctity in front of them. What does eight o’clock mean? Even if it’s nine, we still have to wait!"

Aoyama Xiu Xin is now the Prime Minister’s god-grandson.

He carries much more weight here as well.

Unlike before, when he first interacted with Aoyama Xiu Xin, where he could put on airs, even holding a pretense.

But they could not wait for Aoyama Xiu Xin.

Only Aoyama Xiu Xin’s iron fist awaited them.

Over a hundred police cars had turned off their sirens and lights, racing up the mountain at night, heading quickly towards Julan Club.

Inside the cars were armed police officers.

Aum Shinrikyo’s high-level bodyguards and drivers were waiting at the club entrance. When they heard the engine sounds and saw the car lights, they weren’t too alarmed, merely assuming that the esteemed guests the Sect Hierarch was hosting tonight had arrived.

"Something’s not right! So many people are coming, the club can’t accommodate them all!" When more and more cars appeared in sight, someone muttered in confusion.

Others quickly realized the situation.

"This is bad! Hurry, let the Sect Hierarch know! Everyone, fall back into the club and observe the situation, quick, quick, quick!"

There were also elite members in the sect, and over twenty of them ran into the club and closed the main doors.

Once the leading police car stopped, armed officers jumped out one by one, aiming their guns at the main entrance to provide cover. Once the subsequent vehicles were in place, the officers disembarked and moved to their pre-assigned positions.

"Quick, quick, quick! Surround the entire club immediately!"

Head of Security Department Ishihara Keiichi shouted.

The dispatched disciple rushed into the tea room where the top members of Aum Shinrikyo were, shouting in a panic, "Sect Hierarch, this is bad, this is bad, the police are here, so many police are here outside!"

The high-ranking members were initially stunned, then looked at each other and started laughing, "Much ado about nothing, the guests we are expecting tonight are the police, invite them in quickly."

"N... no." The messenger gasped for breath and explained, "There are probably hundreds of them!"

The laughter immediately vanished, and once again, they looked at each other, this time in shock and fear.

"Everyone, don’t panic! There must be some misunderstanding! Let me make a call to ask Chief Aoyama!" Asahara Shoko still managed to maintain his composure.

Just the day before yesterday, Aoyama Xiu Xin had engaged with his four favorite female disciples in front of him, so surely today wouldn’t be his turn, so there must be some misunderstanding.

"Sect Hierarch! Sect Hierarch, it’s bad!" Just at this moment, another disciple ran in, breathlessly saying, "The police... have surrounded us! Hundreds of them, fully armed, surrounded us entirely!"

As if to verify his words, the police’s voice could be faintly heard, "Listen to the people inside, you are surrounded, lay down your weapons and surrender immediately, do not resist!"

"Sect Hierarch!" At this point, everyone panicked, each not knowing what to do, looking at Asahara Shoko.

Asahara Shoko was genuinely stunned now!

Holding the phone and sitting dumbfounded on the spot, his mind was blank; after a moment, his face turned red, and in a fit of rage, he overturned the low table in front of him, cursing furiously, "Baka yarou! How could the world have such a shameless person as Aoyama Xiu Xin!"

It was Aoyama Xiu Xin who suggested becoming friends, to this end, he even sacrificed the Imperial Pole Society he had been supporting.

It was Aoyama Xiu Xin who led him to relocate the headquarters to Hokkaido to develop. During this period, they met multiple times, chatting and laughing, repeatedly talking about mutual assistance.

The day before yesterday, he even sacrificed four of his favorite female disciples to entertain him, right in front of himself!

Yet today, he turned on him and dealt a deadly blow. As the head of the sect, he considered himself certainly more humane than that bastard Aoyama Xiu Xin.

"Sect Hierarch, what do we do now?"

"Damn it! We’ll fight them to the bitter end!"

"What are we fighting with? There are only a few of us with a few guns here. Do you really think you can go to a divine kingdom after death? That’s all to fool the big idiots!"

"Then what do you suggest? If that’s the case, come up with a solution..."

The crowd was chattering and arguing endlessly.

"Enough!" Asahara Shoko shouted angrily, interrupting the quarrel. He took a deep breath and said in a gloomy voice, "Stall the police outside, immediately call and gather the followers to rescue us. Once they arrive, we can retreat safely. No matter what, the police won’t dare to shoot ordinary followers."

"Yes, yes, the Sect Hierarch is wise. This plan of delaying until the followers come to rescue is brilliant!"

"Make the call, I’ll call right now."

With a plan to escape, everyone finally calmed down a bit and hurried to call their confidants to gather the followers to Zaoyan Mountain for a rescue.

"I’ll go stall them first." Asahara Shoko took a deep breath, stood up, and strode out.

"Boom!"

He took just two steps when the sound of an explosion rang out.

This was immediately followed by gunfire, dense like firecrackers.

"Da-da-da!" "Da-da-da-da-da!"

Asahara Shoko’s body instantly stiffened on the spot.

The group making phone calls was also dumbfounded.

A follower who had been shot in the shoulder stumbled in, anxiously saying, "Sect Hierarch, you must leave! The police have blasted open the door and are coming in!"

"Leave? To where? They’re here to take my life!" Asahara Shoko let out a bitter laugh.

The whole club was surrounded, with no way to escape. The police launched an attack after just one shout, and he knew he was unlikely to survive.

Aoyama Xiu Xin wants to silence him!

"Aoyama Xiu Xin! You are truly ruthless!"

Asahara Shoko cursed through gritted teeth, filled with unwillingness and resentment. They called him the head of the evil cult, a terrorist, ruthless and cruel.

But how could he compare to Aoyama Xiu Xin?

It was he who allowed him to develop in Hokkaido and caused so many deaths, and now he killed him to earn merit and fame. He is the one truly ruthless as iron.

The first policeman who rushed into the courtyard recognized Asahara Shoko through the open door and, having received the kill order, immediately fired without a word.

"Da-da-da-da-da-da-da!"

Asahara Shoko hadn’t even reacted before he was riddled with bullets and fell heavily to the ground, but he wasn’t immediately dead, convulsing and coughing blood.

As it turned out, Asahara Shoko, who claimed to be divinely guided to lead humanity through the apocalypse, had no divine power at all.

"Don’t move! Police!"

"Raise your hands, all of you!"

Asahara Shoko was dead, and there was no need to kill the others, so the police ceased fire.

"We surrender, we surrender!"

"Don’t shoot! Please don’t shoot!"

The high-ranking members in the cult quickly knelt down and surrendered.

After securing the scene, Nakamura Shinichi immediately called Aoyama Xiu Xin to report the situation.

After hanging up, Aoyama Xiu Xin instructed Haruno Takayoshi to convene a press conference and also ordered various police stations to purge remnants of the Aum Shinrikyo.

Without Asahara Shoko and the high-ranking members, the branches in different locations were like a scattered mess, easy to destroy.

Such a large-scale police operation had already alerted the media. Reporters, once alerted, flocked like swarms, so many had long been waiting outside the police headquarters with their cameras.

When Nakamura Shinichi and his team returned, they were besieged by reporters. Upon hearing this, Aoyama Xiu Xin moved the press conference to the entrance.

He personally stepped forward and declared powerfully:

"The Aum Shinrikyo has a bloody history. Tonight, after meticulous planning, our police have struck against this evil cult. The main offender Asahara Shoko was shot dead during capture, and a number of accomplices were captured. The police will continue to investigate and pursue those members of Aum Shinrikyo involved in criminal activities."

"As for those nationals misled and deceived by Asahara Shoko into joining the evil cult, know that your god has no invincibility, and is but human flesh. In the face of justice’s bullets, he can only perish. I hope you wake up soon and stop immersing yourselves in the lies concocted by Asahara Shoko!"

He directly ordered subordinates to present Asahara Shoko’s corpse along with the high-ranking members for the media to photograph.

Asahara Shoko’s gruesome corpse served as the best medicine to wake up his followers.

Those fools believed he was a god, and gods don’t die. Now that he’s dead, it proves he’s just a fraud. Even the dumbest should realize this, and if they still can’t see it, then their intelligence perhaps deserves their fate.
