There was a small village located in Kashmir.
One day, in that village, all of the residents suddenly vanished,
leaving their household and possessions as they were.
What caused the commotion in Shibuya was likely the same, the Ua virus.
But those same villagers appeared once again.
Despite being infected with a virus said to be 100% fatal, they continued to live.
In fact, it induced drastic changes to their bodily tissues, giving them superhuman abilities.
A strange mark also emerged on their bodies.
They are the existences known as Borners.
Nobody will ever believe this...
No, if I can just acquire some evidence, this will be the scoop of a lifetime.
It's a good eye catcher, but our readership might drop because it's too ridiculous...
Try making it a bit simpler.
35 points!?
What do you want me to do? I'm a gossip writer!
Ua virus, eh?
If only I could interview her...
Good morning.
Oh.
We're going to investigate the vanished village, right?
I figured since we'll probably be out all day, I'd bring some easy-to-eat food.
Oh yeah. This was stuck underneath the door.
Amazing! This is amazing, Mino-san!
You've actually been invited to the International Anti-Terrorism Conference as a reporter!
What a great honor!
Why do they know where we are staying?
There are probably rumors about us, don't you think?
"Amazing reporters come to Shanghai."
Yeah!
It seems I've finally been acknowledged by the world!
I've basically joined the ranks of the first-rate journalists, haven't I?
Then Mino-san, about the vanished village...
Listen up, Oosawa.
I will always choose my pride as a reporter.
I guess so...
Well then, you take care of that.
Okay!
It's love~
Going to die~
Oosawa Maria is going to die~
Eh?
Sing the hook.
Ah... Yes ma'am.
Going to die~
Nee-sama was flawless.
I idolized her.
She was everything to me.
But she changed.
Because of that woman, she changed.
Going to die~
You're annoying me.
Nee-sama, today you will allow me to look into your heart.
The International Anti-Terrorism Conference is it?
Even though it wasn't requested, you're treating this rather like work aren't you?
Yeah, right.
You're the one who leaked information that it has something to with the Snakes.
Taking the initiative...
Is this all for your friend?
No.
Hm?
I originally thought, "So I won't lose Maria,"
but that's not it.
So you're finally growing up.
Let's see...
I should take pictures of the Chinese President with a tilt to the right.
Mino-san, Yun-Yun, and Canaan are all dealing with who they are, at this very moment.
I have to do the same.
Okay!
Ah. I forgot to take pictures of the convention center's exterior.
These kind of insignificant pictures are actually...
Get back! Get back!
Hey wait! What? What?
What was that?
I sincerely apologize.
The ones that are in charge of security in this area
should be the PMC that is providing security with China's police force.
Isn't there only you guys?
Allow me to confirm that.
Hey!
Hello.
Please answer the questions that I will...
No.
Please nod or shake your head as a response.
You're from that vanished village, right?
I heard those from the vanished village were all under the control of an organization.
Why are you here?
Is that shady bartender also involved in this?
You...
If you want to know...
Ah... Wait!
Ah... It's starting!
What was that earlier?
Amazing!
They're all people that I've seen on TV!
Greetings to everyone in the world.
Before I begin my speech on this historic day,
I would like to give my compliments to the great People's Republic of China.
I would like to praise Chairman Lin as well as all of the citizens of this nation.
I would also like to show my gratitude to all of the nations who have partnered with us to continue the battle against terrorism.
Since this new form of war, terrorism, began,
several decades have already passed.
When a terrorist act occurs, the world tries everything to battle against it each and every time.
And we want to believe that the real danger is gone.
But that is a very big mistake!
Precisely.
Cummings.
All units: Scarlet.
I repeat,
all units...
We must firmly resist living in danger's shadow.
We need to use our will and courage to battle against such threats!
We have come to a fork in the road.
Do we hold strong to our will and move forward?
Or do we submit to the terrorists' chaotic threats?
However, the path which we must choose is clear.
We must obliterate all the terrorists in the world and protect the civilians!
Long time no see.
For those people who have wept, tragically affected by these despicable terrorist acts!
For the children whose futures have been destroyed!
For those whose sense of safety has been threatened!
I sincerely pray for the day when love and peace will become reality!
And today, all the people of the world should unite under the banner of love and peace!
We are determined to refuse negotiations with terrorists.
We will end this age of terrorism!
That's right. The age of terrorism is over.
Now it's the age of love, nee-sama.
Everyone! The days of fearing terrorists have ended!
Let's proclaim it loudly!
Love and peace!
Um...
Don't you remember? Or are you
just pretending that you don't remember?
Love
and peace!
Love and peace!
Protect the President!
Confirm the escape route.
Thank you!
I can't have you die here.
Eh?
Because you still have a duty to complete.
A duty?
Wait!
Hello everyone! Please settle down. Settle down!
Please calm down and don't push. Everyone needs to get along.
Hey, hey. Naughty children who only think about running for their lives...
must be punished!
As you can see, all of you are trapped in here.
It's very dangerous, so don't you move.
If you do, you'll die.
You again? What do you want?
Was that your power back there?
What are you-
The extraordinary abilities that the people of the vanished village have-
I recall that you are-
Breaking news.
Let go! I want to talk with her-
Multiple explosions occurred this afternoon.
Oosawa!
Don't go, Hakkoo.
This doesn't have anything to do with you.
The personal safety of world leaders participating in the meeting is unknown.
I forgot to tell you one thing.
What is it?
The sewer and the International Conference Center have the same transportation line.
I will now send a list of possible entry locations to your cell phone.
This isn't a mission.
Of course. I know.
You are simply doing as you wish.
Judgment! Judgment!
Keep moving! Keep moving!
Command Center, we're taking the POTUS outside.
Destination: Point Charlie.
Go! Go! Go!
Why is this happening?
Command Center. Route Alpha cannot be used.
Use an alternate route!
You can only go to the underground shelter.
Command center. We'll take Route Echo.
I repeat. Taking Route Echo.
Move!
Go! Go! Go!
ECM in effect. ECM in effect.
Note: ECM - Electronic countermeasures
I'm sorry to say that you cannot communicate with the outside!
I'll repeat again! ECM in effect. ECM in effect!
The principal criminal is in the control room!
What?
I didn't expect them to...
That person is...
How nostalgic...
This kind of space that's filled with hatred.
Alphard, you are invincible.
However, if you do things for personal desires rather than an objective...
That woman over there!
Damn it!
Sham, let me prove it to you!
That even if I have personal desires, I can still remain as myself.
Judgment!
What's the situation with the shelter?
No problem.
The ventilation system is also now adjusted into negative pressure condition.
Even so, none of them noticed anything unusual. How carefree.
A bunch of idiotic pigs.
Who's the infectee?
The perverted-looking, balding guy with the glasses.
He still has about 15 minutes left.
Everything is on time.
All of it is going smoothly. No abnormalities.
If it's like this, nee-sama will be bored, right?
I prepared a very nice entertainment program for you.
Oosawa Maria-sama from Japan!
Oosawa Maria-sama!
Your friend is waiting for you. Please come to the main control room!
Oosawa Maria-sama!
She's still alive~
Of course she is!
This is a new song, Boss.
Stop blabbing and hurry up to the International Conference Center!
Hey! What's wrong with him? Did he drink too much?
In such a dire situation too... What a useless guy.
It's working! It's working!
Welcome Oosawa Maria! You really came!
Where is Canaan!?
Don't worry. No need to rush. I'll call her here right now!
Cummings. Temporarily disable the ECM.
Well, will your good friend pick up her phone?
Maria!?
This is a call for Canaan from the International Convention Center, currently in the midst of terror!
Hey, speak. Cowlick girl.
Maria!?
Maria! What's happening?
Canaan, I'm sorry.
I've been caught again.
Canaan...
I'm sorry, Canaan.
Canaan? The promised land, eh?
You're giving such a filthy brat like me such a marvelous name?
You have the assets and connections your parents left you.
To a small and weak organization like them, you're literally a goddess of salvation.
Do you think that? Do I really have that value?
My job is to train you to obtain that value.
I'll do what I'm paid for.
Are you confident?
At least there's possibility.
Then I will meet your expectations.
But it's all right.
It's fine if you don't come.
What did you say?
I'm always causing trouble for Canaan.
I don't want to. So...
I've had enough!
Nee-sama. Hurry and grant death upon this girl!
Use your bullet to shoot through this brat's forehead!
Maria!
Maria! I'll be there in a sec!
I will definitely save you!
You'll just be wasting your time, Canaan.
I'll let you listen to the best weep right now-
Shut your mouth.
Don't fuck with me!
What exactly do you want to do?
What are you after?
Love!
Love?
It's love, nee-sama.
Canaan!
Canaan! Don't come!
Please don't come!
It doesn't matter if she comes or not, you'll die right here and now!
You bitch!
Maria!
A person consumed by hatred can only be a second-rate soldier.
Hatred that can't be controlled should be discarded as soon as possible.
Then what about a person that's consumed by love?
Who knows?
Probably'd be very interesting and comical.
Liang, it's about time to close the curtains.
You still have an unfinished job.
I got it. I'll start playing the video.
Um...
Don't misunderstand.
Your duty is...
to live on!
It's begun!
Yep.
Could this be the...
It's just like you guessed.
It's the Ua virus.
Today shortly after twelve o'clock,
an incident involving explosions that occurred in the Shanghai International Conference Center...
has led to many government officials being held hostage by a terrorist group.
According to the spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
the possibility exists that a dangerous virus may have been released inside the conference center.
A 2 kilometer perimeter around the building has been blocked off.
Oosawa!
According to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
the area of a two kilometer radius of the convention center...

Love & Peace
Gravestone.
Yearning heart.
Drifting in a wailing sea.
After floating, you reach a gravestone.
Graveyard of memories.
The epitaph engraved there.
Calling out.
Not yet.
