### Summary
Despite Quanxi's overwhelming victory against the Public Safety squad, the true horror of the situation is revealed not through violence, but through a chilling display of psychological dominance. The legendary assassin, along with the Soviet hunter Tolka, is paralyzed by the unseen, all-pervasive influence of Makima. A single, terrifying phrase—"Makima is listening"—is all it takes to break Quanxi's will, forcing her to surrender Denji. The chapter establishes Makima as a terrifying puppet master, whose power transcends physical conflict and instills a primal fear in even the world's strongest hunters, leaving Kishibe to grimly accept the checkmate.
