I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 228 and 229: The Shark Series of Terrible Movies - Land Shark

The walking monsters that appeared inside the Kohama City Police Station each had four abnormally long, pointed legs resembling insect limbs growing from their bellies!

Mackerel, flounder, tilefish, yellowtail...

These are all common fish species in Wakasa Bay.

Japan is an island nation surrounded by the sea. People rely on the mountains for their livelihood and the sea for their food. Sea fish occupy an important place in the national diet. Generally speaking, fish is not something that Japanese people are afraid of.

But this is on the condition that these fish appear in fish markets or supermarket tanks, rather than growing legs and crawling around on the ground.

"A fish, is it walking?"

"What...what is this thing?!"

This horrifying scene plunged the police station into panic.

The first person at the Obama City Police Department to discover the walking fish was Namiryu Sakaki.

After sending Naruto Uchiha off to visit the Mermaid Festival, Namikazu Sakaki spent her time running around the Obama City Police Station. The receptionist was so annoyed by her persistent nagging that she couldn't even maintain a semblance of politeness, and rolled her eyes at her, telling her that that was the rule, and she could file a complaint if she didn't like it.

Sakaki Namiru wanted to break into the police station and confront the police leaders, but unsurprisingly, she was stopped by the police officers.

The police warned her that if she continued to pester him, they would detain Namikazu Sakaki on charges of obstructing official business.

Sakaki Namiru could only reluctantly give up for the time being and sit on a row of chairs in the police station lobby.

"Damn it! These cowardly pay thieves who fawn over foreign women but treat their own taxpayers with contempt!"

Although it was almost noon, Sakaki Namiru had no appetite; she was so angry that she felt full.

But it's hard to say how much of this nameless rage stemmed from the Kohama City Police Station detaining her best friend, or from that arrogant blonde woman.

"Does this mean we really have to call my brother-in-law for help?"

After all, Suzuki Maika had been invited to the Mermaid Festival by her, which led to her getting caught up in the trouble, and Sakaki Nami felt very bad about it. However, when she picked up her phone to dial a number, she remembered what Grace had said, "Your understanding of Inspector Uchiha is pitifully shallow," and hesitated.

What exactly did that foreign woman mean by those words?

Judging from her tone and expression, it wasn't entirely a bluff...

Just as Sakaki Nami was pondering the deeper meaning behind it, she caught a glimpse of a small dark figure darting in through the police station's main entrance. The figure moved with incredible speed and followed an eerie path, disappearing under the benches.

mouse?

Sakaki Nami found it somewhat amusing that this run-down police station was even infested with rats.

Something's not right. Is this how mice run?

Sakaki Nami, who grew up in the rural countryside of Shizuoka Prefecture, had seen rats scurrying around quite often, but none of them resembled the dark shadow just now, which vaguely followed an S-shaped, serpentine path.

Nami Sakaki curiously bent down and looked under the row of benches.

But they found nothing.

That thing has disappeared somewhere.

Sakaki Nami didn't pay much attention to it. After thinking about it for a while, she decided to call the Uchiha Senmon.

"Beep beep beep..."

Nami Sakaki walked to the entrance of the police station with her phone in hand, looking at the street outside.

Perhaps because the procession carrying the palanquin is on the other side of the city, attracting most tourists, there are not many pedestrians near the police station now.

The Obama City Police Station is not too far from Wakasa Bay; you can even feel the salty smell of the sea breeze on your face.

"Beep beep beep..."

The microphone went dead; no one answered again!

I've been trying to call my brother-in-law for the past few days, but I can't get through. What kind of work is he doing? How can he be so busy?

Sakaki Nami put down her phone with a complicated expression, her knuckles turning white from gripping it too tightly.

Now that I think about it carefully, my impression of my brother-in-law is still based on my past ideals. After my brother-in-law went to Tokyo and after my sister passed away, what he went through and what people he met, Sakaki Namiru really knew nothing.

But I won't give up so easily!

Sakaki Nami bit her lower lip, feeling agitated and her nameless anger rising even higher.

"Crack crack crack".

Just then, a small dark figure darted out from the corner of the police station lobby and slipped right at Sakaki Nami's feet.

"That wretched rat, Shinai!"

Sakaki Namiru showed no fear of the rat and viciously stomped down with her foot.

*Smack!*

The dark figure was stepped on by Sakaki Namikazu, who pressed her weight onto it and then ground it down several times in a venting manner.

Based on her past experience, that kick would have been enough to rupture the rat's internal organs.

However, the sensation under her feet made Sakaki Nami feel something was wrong. It wasn't the furry feeling of stepping on a small rodent; instead, it was a rustling sound that scratched her feet.

Sakaki Nami moved her foot away in confusion and took a look, then immediately let out a scream!

"ah!"

On the ground lay a black fish, its intestines ripped out and its belly rotten. Beneath its belly, several thin, black claws were twitching unconsciously.

Even a tough woman like Nami Sakaki, who can crush rats without batting an eye, couldn't help but scream when she saw this disgusting and horrifying scene.

"Ms. Sakaki, what is it now?"

The local police officer who had been keeping an eye on Nami Sakaki walked over with a frown, looking at her with some displeasure.

"A walking fish! How come there are such strange fish in your Xiaobin City?"

Startled, Sakaki Nami took a few steps back, her shoes scraping against the ground, leaving behind a series of colorful footprints.

What nonsense is this woman spouting?

"Look at this! This fish has grown legs and is running around on the ground!"

Fish? A fish with legs?

Following Sakaki Nami's gaze, the police officer saw a small, crushed black fish lying in a large puddle of black water on the ground.

The officer scrutinized her closely for a few moments, a strange look on his face, then turned back to Sakaki Namikaze and said helplessly:

"Ms. Sakaki, I don't know what you mean, but it's just an ordinary dead fish. Where did the legs come from?"

Ok?

Sakaki Nami looked over with some disbelief, and the strange fish's disgusting black legs had vanished!

"What's going on? I'm sure I didn't see wrong!"

Sakaki Nami looked incredulous, but no matter how she looked at it, the fish on the ground were just ordinary dead fish.

However, Nami Sakaki also noticed something was wrong: there was too much black water around the dead fish, and it looked like about 300 to 500 milliliters of water had been poured on the ground.

Where did the water come from? And it's so dark.

When I lifted my foot to look, there wasn't this much water. And a small black fish, only two fingers wide and the length of a palm, couldn't possibly have produced so much juice.

"Ms. Sakaki, are you too tired? Why don't you go back and rest for a while?" Officer Yamashiro wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Namika Sakaki.

"No, I absolutely cannot be wrong!" Sakaki Namiru said resolutely.

When Sakaki Nami insisted that she had seen a terrestrial fish with legs in the police station, Officer Yamashiro felt a headache coming on.

What new tricks is this woman, who's been pestering us relentlessly in the police station, up to now?

He simply couldn't understand why people would think that feigning madness and making alarmist claims would get them released by the police.

"Ms. Sakaki, please calm down. Think about it, how could there be a fish with legs in the ocean? That's just a fantasy," Officer Yamashiro laughed.

"this……"

Sakaki Namiri fell silent. She blinked and questioned defiantly:

"I can't say for other places, but it might be different in Wakasa Bay. Before I came to Kohama, I looked it up online, and there's a nuclear power plant here in Wakasa Bay. They even secretly discharged nuclear wastewater before, so maybe these long-legged fish are mutated from the contamination!"

The mountain city police officer's face immediately darkened.

That nuclear accident is a topic that cannot be touched upon in the Wakasa Bay area.

In March 1981, at the Tsuruga Nuclear Power Plant in Wakasa Bay, a worker forgot to close a critical valve, causing a radioactive sludge pool to overflow and exposing 59 workers handling the leaked radioactive sludge to radiation.

The 16 tons of radioactive waste from the accident were ultimately discharged directly into Wakasa Bay.

It wasn't until a month later, after media reports, that the Japanese Atomic Energy Commission publicly acknowledged the nuclear accident, but firmly denied that anyone had been exposed to dangerous levels of radiation.

Although forty years have passed, the area along the Wakasa Bay coast remains deeply resentful of the nuclear accident for the sake of tourism and fishing.

"Ms. Sakaki, as you know, it's the Mermaid Festival right now, and there's also a series of murders happening. Our police station simply doesn't have the time or energy to continue messing around with you."

Deliberately avoiding the topic, the mountain police officer said with a stern face.

"Please leave, or we'll either 'ask' you to leave, or let you stay with Ms. Suzuki!"

Seeing the unfriendly expression on the faces of the police officers from Kohama City, who seemed about to resort to violence, Sakaki Nami was also somewhat frightened.

But she gritted her teeth and stubbornly said:

"I'm not making this up! There really are long-legged monster fish in the police station. Go ahead and catch them! My brother-in-law won't let you get away with it."

This woman is absolutely insane!

The police officer from Yamashiro had veins bulging on his forehead. He didn't say anything, but prepared to call over a few female police officers to take Sakaki Nami away.

"Click-clack".

Just then, the police officers in the mountain city suddenly heard a strange rustling sound.

He looked up in surprise, and his eyes widened in surprise!

Suddenly, a large group of strange fish with slender black legs filed into the police station!

Flounder, pufferfish, mackerel, grouper—all kinds of fish, big and small, in various colors, crawled on the ground in a strange manner.

"What the hell is this?!"

"Help!"

The police officers at the entrance of the Kohama City Police Station were terrified when they saw the swarms of Land Fish rushing towards them.

"I told you there were legged, nuclear-radiation-mutated fish, but you didn't believe me!"

Sakaki Nami immediately ran into the police station and saw Officer Yamashiro still standing there dumbfounded, so she slapped him across the face.

"Snapped!"

"Run!"

The police officer from Yamashiro suddenly realized what was happening, covered his face, and followed Sakaki Nami as they fled. Behind them was a vast army of land fish.

"Fish! Fish! Fish! A strange fish with long legs is attacking the police station!"

Sakaki Nami rushed into the corridor, shouting and yelling. She saw a door suddenly pushed open, and that annoying foreign blonde woman, Grace, rushed out with a pistol in her hand.

"Be careful!"

Although they were supposed to be rivals in love, Nami Sakaki still offered a reminder.

"snort!"

Grace snorted coldly and raised the muzzle of her gun.

Sakaki Nami was immediately terrified. Could this foreign woman be trying to physically eliminate her rival?

With a "bang," a terrestrial grouper that rushed in front of Nami Sakaki was shot and blown to bits.

"Ah, no!"

The police officer Yamashiro, who was following behind Sakaki Nami, was startled by the sudden gunshot. He tripped over the terrestrial fish at his feet, slipped, and fell to the ground.

Seeing the swarming land fish, the mountain city police officers couldn't help but feel despair and could only close their eyes and wait for death.

But to everyone's surprise, the land fish did not attack him. Instead, they crawled over the faces and bodies of the mountain city police officers and continued to advance.

"Don't fire!"

Grace, who had keenly noticed the situation, frowned and immediately stopped the Fifth Section men in black suits who had come out at the sound and drawn their guns to aim.

"Investigator, the situation is complicated. Please allow us to cover your retreat!"

In Lesson Five, the men in black suits were loyal, but Grace was quite courageous and remained calm in the face of danger.

"No need, didn't you see? These strange fish didn't attack anyone," Grace said.

Even so, watching these bizarre land fish wobbling over still gave me goosebumps.

Seeing the terrestrial fish rushing over, one of the men in the front, wearing a black suit, couldn't help but kick several of them away.

Despite its bizarre appearance, the land fish was utterly powerless against the kicks that left it a bloody mess.

The member of the Fifth Division was overjoyed and rushed forward, unleashing a flurry of attacks from the land fish with his bare hands.

Seeing this, the other Fifth Division agents and officers from the Kohama City Police Department also mustered their courage and pulled out their batons to chase after them.

Like playing whack-a-mole, one hit with the stick can smash the land fish's head open, sending blood and flesh flying everywhere!

Seeing that the land fish was powerless to fight back, Grace's expression became subtle.

What is this thing? A monster? But it's far too weak.

Grace stared at a mackerel that had been knocked to death and was surprised to find that its several strange black tentacles twitched a few times and then turned into a large stream of ink!

Not only that, the black limbs of the other killed land fish also turned into ink and flowed all over the ground.

However, the others did not seem to notice this anomaly and continued their rampage.

The water inside the police station was getting deeper and deeper, eventually reaching above ankle level.

"Could this be a trap?"

"Attention! Heed my command, all of you cease fire!"

Suddenly, a series of exclamations came from ahead. A huge great white shark, three meters long, kicked its four monstrous legs, opened its blood-red maw, and charged forward menacingly!
