I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapter 95-098 Capturing a Superhuman Alive

Although the weather in Tokyo was still a bit chilly at the end of April, the skirts of spring had already swept across the city.

But Yuji Kanbara couldn't help but sigh, "These are truly turbulent times."

This month, his worldview has collapsed, been rebuilt, and collapsed again. He doesn't know how many times he's gone through it, and now he's become somewhat numb.

However, he received an emergency order last night and was recalled to the Metropolitan Police Department. Today, he was assigned to guard this haunted house in Ota Ward, which made Yuji Kanbara somewhat apprehensive.

This reminded him of the evil spirit he encountered at the Shimonakano apartment earlier this month.

After reviewing the basic files, Yuji Kanbara understood what kind of enemy their Fourth Investigation Division was facing, and just how terrifying the evil spirits were.

If it weren't for Master Jiriku descending from the sky, Yuji Kanbara might have lost his life there.

Master Dilu was a compassionate and virtuous monk.

Even though Yuji Kambara already knew that Master Jiriku had sent more than a hundred members of the Seishin-kai to their deaths in one fell swoop, he still firmly believed this.

"Inspector Okita, is it really true that that evil spirit won't come out and attack us?"

Yuji Kambara was still somewhat uneasy and spoke to a gloomy-looking police officer beside him.

They were in a house to the right of Sato's used house, and the balcony of the used house could be clearly seen from the study window.

Inspector Okita was about forty years old, with a pale face, a haggard appearance, and two very dark circles under his eyes.

He twitched the muscles in his face, trying to force a smile, but in the end, he only managed a stiff, insincere one.

"Don't worry, I've been on duty here for three years and have never been attacked by an evil spirit. The Metropolitan Police Department also has no record of evil spirits actively attacking humans."

The evil spirit wouldn't actually come out of Sato's used house to attack the police officers monitoring the area, but it would occasionally appear on the balcony and roof of the house, staring at the officers with its terrifying eyes.

That almost tangible resentment was like a thorn in one's side; there were more than just one or two police officers in the files who were so frightened that they ended up in the hospital.

Inspector Okita stared at Yuji Kambara, hesitated for a moment, and then asked:

"Officer Kambara, our team was very happy to see you guys this morning, thinking it was your shift change that had arrived early. Why were you sent here at this time to reinforce security?"

The officers responsible for surveillance, including Inspector Okita, all bear heavy psychological pressure. They have to change shifts every now and then and receive counseling from psychologists, otherwise they cannot persevere.

However, we can't rely solely on surveillance equipment, because the evil spirit might not be captured on camera. The surveillance equipment that was installed in the house at great expense was sometimes unreliable.

The Metropolitan Police Department can only use the most primitive method: surveillance by human eyes.

"I'm not entirely sure about that either. Our orders are to work with your surveillance team to increase vigilance."

That's what they say, but Yuji Kanbara did have some thoughts about the Metropolitan Police Department's sudden order.

There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. The fact that the Metropolitan Police Department suddenly went on high alert yesterday and deployed the SATs to the headquarters has already caused quite a stir within the department.

If the Metropolitan Police Department hadn't tightened its control over media, this big news would have been all over the place long ago.

As a member of the Fourth Investigation Division, Yuji Kanbara knew a little about the inside story.

The Metropolitan Police Department has been invaded by superhumans, and Section 5 seems to have been completely wiped out. Although their lives are not in danger, they have temporarily lost their ability to work.

The assignment of Yuji Kambara to strengthen security here is probably related to yesterday's invasion by superhumans.

"It's a tough job to come here and monitor the Sato family's haunted house."

Inspector Okita patted Yuji Kanbara on the shoulder expressionlessly, then looked out the window at the used house, a mocking smile playing on his lips:

"Fortunately, enough people have died, at least the Metropolitan Police Department won't ask us to enter the house to search anymore."

Inspector Okita said in a resentful voice:

"Sometimes, I really want to burn this haunted house down! Unfortunately, the last person who did that died from self-immolation. Bulldozing wouldn't work either; the cause of death was a ridiculous heart attack. But if the Metropolitan Police Department wanted to use artillery, they could definitely raze this house to the ground."

"But the Metropolitan Police Department refuses to do so. The big shots above value supernatural beings like evil spirits that are related to the soul, and they want to uncover the secrets about the soul. The lives of us lowly soldiers are of no importance."

Inspector Okita kept talking incessantly, like a madman, which made Yuuji Kanbara a little uneasy.

If I stay here too long, I hope I won't turn into this horrible state too.

The task I received this morning has no deadline.

"Boom!"

A loud commotion, similar to an explosion, came from a corner of the street.

"What was that sound? A gas explosion?"

"Impossible, all the residents on this street have been relocated. That direction leads to the Daejeon Museum. Wait, something's wrong!"

Inspector Okita and Yuji Kambara's expressions changed, and they immediately rushed downstairs. Several other people also rushed out from nearby houses.

A group of people in black suits gathered together and saw a closed shop on the street with a huge gap cut out of the roller shutter door from the inside.

A demon warrior clad in ancient armor with a face mask covering his cheeks, his eyes flashing with two points of ghostly blue flames, his body radiating blue flames, and a samurai sword in his hand, stepped forward.

What kind of supernatural being is this?

Needless to say, the officers from the Metropolitan Police Department immediately drew their pistols.

"Bang! Bang bang!"

Five or six pistols fired at the same time, but the Oni Warrior simply raised the samurai sword in its hand.

"Clang clang clang—"

The crisscrossing blue sword beams intertwined in the air, forming a net that sent all the bullets flying!

All the guns had been fired, but it didn't stop the Onimusha from advancing.

Just when Yuji Kanbara thought he was about to be beheaded, Onimusha ignored the Metropolitan Police Department officers and walked straight toward Nakako-ya Sato.

Sparkling phosphorescence drifted out from the gaps in the Oni Warrior's armor, dancing in the air, leaving two rows of footprints on the ground still burning with ghostly blue flames.

This time, no one dared to stop the Oni Warrior.

"Lord Minamoto no Yorimitsu, wait! Don't leave me behind!"

Just then, a fat man dressed like an otaku ran out from the gap in the commercial street, panting as he ran towards them.

Yuji Kanbara couldn't hide his surprise; this fat guy actually knew that Onimusha!

The Onimusha is clad in ancient armor, completely different from all the registered Type Bs, and doesn't resemble a yokai; it's more like a legendary shikigami.

Is this fat guy an Onmyoji?

It's true that you can't judge a book by its cover. It turns out that besides mysterious superhumans like Master Dilu and the Red-Eyed Man who are rarely seen, there are also superhumans dressed so crudely... no, so down-to-earth.

Could it be that minor hermits hide in the wilderness, while major hermits hide in Akihabara?

The infiltration of superhumans into modern society is truly astounding!

The fat otaku was completely oblivious to the group in black suits; his eyes were only on the figure with the ghostly blue flames burning within.

Just as the fat otaku was passing by, Yuji Kanbara and the others in black suits suddenly attacked him, forcibly pinning him to the ground.

"Quick! Report to the police station immediately! We've captured a superhuman!"
