The head office building of the Central Bank of Tokyo was evacuating. The employees inside were evacuating. Some people were almost lying on the ground after they stepped out of the building. They were then carried into an ambulance to take them to the hospital.

Everyone who experienced this disaster had a serious expression. They all looked a little pale, their eyes looked dull, as if their souls had been pulled away.

The Tokyo police present were also in a heavy mood. It is certainly a blessing that there were no major casualties among citizens today. However, if a person of unknown origin could install bombs at the headquarters of the five most important banks in Tokyo, how much impact would this have on the citizens' psychology.

A policeman looked up at the dark sky. The police officers felt vaguely as if something was changing.

The situation in Tokyo has changed badly.

Extreme organizations have been able to launch major attacks at the locations they want.

Asahi Shimbun's TV station, the female host is broadcasting real-time news:

"According to the latest understanding of our reporter, the police have taken action against Eriko and broke into the head office of the Central Bank of Tokyo. Several explosions have been heard at the scene. It is reported that about 17 people have been arrested. Whether the arrested persons include Eriko, the Police Department has not responded to it yet."

"At present, security experts have publicly written articles to question the security loopholes in Tokyo. Why can someone install bombs in such an important office building in Tokyo? How dangerous goods flow into the East, how they are made, and why such a criminal gang failed to collect tips in advance to crack down on it. Is the Tokyo police's intelligence and control capabilities seriously insufficient?"

The female host looked at the camera in front of her and said with a serious expression:

"It is worth mentioning that Eriko had called our company and exposed a bank loan project that may involve illegal transactions. According to our company, the bank loan project involves the company controlled by the younger brother of Takaji Terada, the current cabinet minister."

"It is understood that Takaji Terada's younger brother runs an enterprise called Makino Agriculture and Forestry, which only mortgaged land with a lower value, borrowed a huge amount of up to 5 billion yen from Ruisui Bank. Moreover, after visiting by our reporter, the loan production project of Makino Agriculture and Forestry was not actually started. The loans were suspected to be used as a donation for the election of Minister Terada to run for member of parliament at that time."

Eriko's videos on the Internet and live broadcasts of Asahi Shimbun have caused great waves across the Internet and public opinion.

The vast majority of the people are not employees trapped in the five bank buildings.

They didn't feel the feeling of despair and horror that the bomb threatened.

They did not see the rolling smoke and terrible flames on the scene with their own eyes.

Not to mention, if the bomb really hurts people, it will be a bloody scene with body splashing.

All of this will not be felt by the people who are not present at the scene.

On the contrary, installing bombs in banks, a behavior that seriously endangers human life safety, can arouse public imaginations, at most, some exciting scenes in Hollywood movies.

Gradually, on the Internet—

Voices supporting Eriko began to appear.

On the forum, more and more people are starting to post and comment.

"Do you think Eriko is right? A corrupt bank like this should be retribution!"

"Yes! Eriko was right."

"These guys who collude with each other should be killed with bombs."

"It seems like there was an explosion in the Tokyo Central Bank today, and none of the other four banks did not explode. What a pity! Especially the Mizuho Bank!!!"

"Why do I think Eriko is not like a gangster, but rather like a hero who eliminates the harm to the people?"

"Yes, she just let out a sigh of anger for the people."

"Think about the people in high positions, they don't think about the people every day, and they never thought about truly caring about the interests of ordinary citizens."

"I think it's not Eriko who should be investigated, but the General Affairs Minister named Terada. He looks more hateful than Eriko!"

"Yes, we should investigate Terada strictly! We don't know what dirty things there are behind him!"

"Yes, a total of 5 billion yen of bank loans! That Ruisui Bank and the entire General Affairs Minister must check it together!"

"Eriko is probably forced to be like this, too."

"We want to support Eriko!"

"The accounting examination department is not afraid to reply now. Do you want to audit the bank?"

"I guess I'm pretending to be an ostrich."

"What else will they do besides pretending to be dead?"

The scrutiny of General Affairs Minister Terada on the Internet is becoming increasingly fierce, and they are gradually gathering into a torrent that cannot be ignored.

Asahi TV station, the female host continued to broadcast the news:

"At present, in response to the suspected inappropriate raising donations by Minister of General Affairs Terada, citizens on the Internet have initiated petitions, asking the Congress to set up an investigation team to thoroughly investigate the loans between Makino Agriculture and Ruisui Bank."

"It is worth mentioning that in the parliamentary re-election in April next year, Terada's House of Representatives seats fall within the scope of re-election. Our company has asked the Solidar Alliance under Terada whether Terada will continue to represent Solidar Alliance in April next year to fight for the re-election of the House of Representatives."

"General Minister Nada has always been an important core figure in the Unity Alliance. He has always been the 'ever-winning general' of the House of Representatives. The candidate for the Unity Alliance on the Unity Alliance was often able to overcome all obstacles and win. However, this time Terada was caught in a donation scandal. Whether he would resign to the cabinet and whether he would run for election is uncertain."

"In the past, there was a practice of cutting off members of the faction with negative impacts. Terada, which was once a positive asset, may become a negative asset that drags down the alliance after this Eriko incident. But considering that Terada is the core figure of the alliance, whether they will continue to cut cleanly this time as always, we will continue to observe."

As the news broke, the focus gradually shifted to the Minister of General Affairs Terada and to the election of the re-election of the MP next year. The bomb attack of Eriko seemed to have become a trivial matter.

This shift in focus seems to be natural and happens naturally.

The chaos, fear, and insecurity caused by the bomb attacks will immediately dissipate as the order returns.
