I Am a Heroic Spirit

On the road between Yokohama and Tokyo, two figures that even ordinary people with special abilities might not be able to catch are moving rapidly on this road at a speed of hundreds of meters per second.

"Urahara, hurry up!"

A rough male voice sounded from the slightly small afterimage.

"Hey, don't be so anxious, Yoruichi. It's just a war where even the vice-captain level of combat power may not be able to fight. Besides, isn't there a live broadcast? You can watch it at home."

A calm voice followed.

It was obvious that the owners of these two voices were Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihouin.

"Watching it on TV doesn't compare to being there. This is the first war in the modern world in twenty years, and it's between people with special abilities. It's such a memorable war. One of the parties involved is the Japanese government, so it's a good opportunity to see how the Japanese government develops."

Yoruichi retorted dissatisfiedly.

"No matter how much development they achieve, the Japanese government won't be able to catch up to Soul Society for at least a hundred years." Urahara Kisuke's words revealed a hint of disdain, but then he changed his tone and said, "However, as you said, this is the first war in the modern world in twenty years, and it's a war between people with special abilities that has been made public. I imagine the human government will make a big move, and many human forces will be investigating. This is a good opportunity to see the strength of each human force."

Ye Yi urged: "Then hurry up."

"Okay." Urahara Kisuke responded, and then a violent sonic boom sounded, and Urahara Kisuke's figure disappeared in an instant. Yoruichi was not to be outdone, and his speed increased again, and the distance of a thousand meters passed in a flash.

"It's really weird. It's been hidden in the dark all along, but this time there's even a live broadcast."

At Liangshanpo, a group of experts gathered in front of the TV, looking at Tokyo District 11 on the TV, all with confused expressions.

Although it is known as the strongest in the world, compared with the Darkness, Liangshanpo has no deep connection with the top government officials and is unaware of the new policy issued by the United Nations.

In the sky, a huge, blurry figure was moving rapidly towards Tokyo, and a faint voice was heard from above.

"Human? Ghoul? So insignificant."

Chapter 57: Decisive Battle (Two in One)

Surrounded by police cars and military personnel in Tokyo's 11th Ward, Kotaro Amon turned to look at the cameramen and reporters adjusting their equipment. Uncomfortably, he said to Mado Wuxiong beside him, "This feels really strange, Mado-senpai. You've been an investigator for so long, and this is the first time you've been followed by a TV reporter."

Zhenhu Wuxu chuckled, then said, "I think this is quite good. There are TV people broadcasting live here, spreading everyone's heroic deeds. Isn't this extremely inspiring? Compared to the past when we were clearly fighting for humanity but hiding in the dark as if we were not to be seen by the public, this is an honor."

As he spoke, Mado Wuxu pointed around and continued, "Look, almost everyone showed their best side. In order not to embarrass themselves in the eyes of the whole world, they will burst out with all their strength to kill the ghouls."

Amon Kotaro looked around. Just as Mado Gosho had said, aside from a few unfamiliar faces and Arima Takashi, everyone was performing at their best, lest they embarrass themselves before the world. If they maintained this mental attitude towards the upcoming decisive battle, there was no doubt that everyone would have the highest chance of survival.

"I have a question," Kotaro Amon retracted his gaze and asked in a low voice, "Why do we have to deal with those ghouls? The government has clearly allowed the ghouls and us investigators to be exposed, and the army is ready. If the army opens fire, those ghouls will not be a big problem at all."

"Also, even those legendary people in the spiritual industry have come out. Could it be that we will encounter ghosts again?" Kotaro Amon took out a talisman from his body and looked at it over and over again.

"You're still too young to understand politics," Zhenhu Wuxu sneered. "Which do you think is more acceptable to the public, one that requires the military to eliminate, or one that only requires a special department to eliminate? Which is more likely to prevent social order from being affected? As for the talisman, how can we understand the affairs of the spiritual world? Anyway, since it's been given to us, just keep it."

"So that's how it is." After listening to Mado Wu's explanation, Kotaro Amon suddenly understood.

A few hundred meters away, atop a tall building, Takatsuki Izumi, appearing as the One-Eyed King, stood at the edge of the rooftop, coldly observing the investigators who trickled in from the distance. Standing respectfully behind him were the Bronze Tree officials, including Gekko Daishou Yakumo, Noro, and the Ping brothers.

At this time, the door of the stairwell was pushed open and a middle-aged man with white hair came in.

Takatsuki Izumi turned his head and glanced at the white-haired man, then asked, "Tado Ryo, have the military snipers ambushing in Area 11 been cleared out?"

Duoduoliang replied, "I'm sorry, we only killed fifty-three people. There are at least a hundred more hiding. We can only find them after they launch an attack."

Takatsuki Izumi frowned and said, "Forget it, there's no time. Tell the ghouls below to prepare for battle. This time, I will use the lives of these white pigeons to declare our power to the world."

"Yes."

The faces of all the cadres grew serious and they responded in unison.

By this time, the ghouls, investigators, and the countermeasures office had all prepared for battle. Television reporters and camera operators had already adjusted their equipment, and various forces had arrived in Tokyo. The impending decisive battle had officially begun.

All countries in this time and space have developed to a certain level, and Japan is no exception. One aspect of this is e-commerce.

In the commercial buildings of various cities in Japan, almost all of them are equipped with large electronic display screens for playing advertisements, as well as corresponding loudspeaker broadcasting and other broadcasting equipment.

This afternoon, after a sharp crackling sound, the screens suddenly went dark, as if their power and signal had been cut off. Then, the various advertisements on the screens disappeared, replaced by a news program.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"What? I haven't even finished watching that commercial yet. I was originally quite fond of that product."

"Did something big happen? Why are all the big screens showing the news?"

The confused onlookers gathered in front of the screen, chattering about this sudden situation.

"Hello everyone, this is Tokyo Live. I'm sure many of you already know, but there are also many who haven't paid attention. The Tokyo Ghoul Suppression event, which is about to shock the world, will officially begin at 5:30 this evening, which is now..."

"I almost forgot! This happened today!"

"The Tokyo Ghoul Crackdown? I didn't know about it. Luckily I saw it here, otherwise I would have regretted it for the rest of my life."

"I thought I wouldn't be able to watch it today because I was working overtime, so I planned to watch the replay tomorrow. I didn't expect this to be such a big deal, and the advertising screens had to be replaced."

More and more passers-by stopped and looked at the big screens every one or two streets, and began to talk about it. It would be a pity if they could not see this historic scene in the first place.

Such scenes happened in every city in Japan, and for a time almost everyone in Japan was paying attention to this moment.

-

In a room inside Zhongnanhai, China, an old man is handling official business.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked in from outside and reported to the old man: "Chief, Japan has made a big move."

The old man slowly raised his head and asked with interest, "Oh? Big move, what big move?"

The middle-aged man said solemnly, "It's the Ghouls. The Japanese will completely annihilate them today, in five minutes, and the event will be broadcast live from Tokyo, Japan. The Wasui clan, who control the CCG, has also been annihilated."

"Ghouls? The failed products of Japan's super soldiers. They've finally gotten rid of those man-eating monsters. It should have been done a long time ago. They're just failures," the old man muttered, an unpredictable smile on his face. "Turn on the live broadcast. This is the first related incident since the UN conference issued the policy. It's worth commemorating. Also, there's no need to over-control the internet. Letting the public adapt is what we need to do."

"Yes, Chief."

-

In a dormitory in the boys' teaching building of Linhai No. 5 Middle School, a boy who looked about 17 or 18 years old and had an extraordinary appearance sat cross-legged on a bed with his eyes closed, as if he was meditating and not moving.

“Pah-pah-pah!!!”

"Afan, what are you doing in there? And you locked the door!"

At this moment, there was a hurried knock on the door from outside, and a man's dissatisfied and anxious voice.

"What's going on? If I hadn't practiced deeply, I would have gone crazy."

The boy suddenly woke up, his face full of dissatisfaction.

After opening the door, three boys rushed in quickly, sat down in front of the computer desk, turned on the computer, and stared at the computer screen.

"I say, what are you doing? Don't you have to go to class?" the boy asked doubtfully. He relied on the 1% internal force inherited from Dao Zhi yesterday to interfere with the judgment of the infirmary, so that he could practice in the dormitory smoothly. How did they run back and how did they fool the teacher?

"Who would still attend classes? Even the teacher has run to the computer room. The principal has also said that classes will be suspended for one day, but students are not allowed to leave the school." said the boy with a crew cut.

"It is estimated that at least half of the people in the country can use computers. Those who have the ability to use computers are now in front of computer screens." The boy next to him added.

"What happened? The Chinese national football team entered the Asian Cup? It's being broadcast live now?" the boy asked in shock.

Another boy said, "That's half right. Although it's a live broadcast, it has nothing to do with the Chinese national football team. Remember the news we saw a few days ago about the Japanese ghouls?"

"Of course I remember." The boy nodded. It wasn't just Japan, China had it too. Last night, when he was trying to adapt to the Lightning Steps he inherited from Dao Zhu, he saw someone in a special uniform killing two ghouls in a small alley. If the ghouls' bodies hadn't been destroyed on the spot, he could have absorbed some energy for the system...

The short boy said, "Today, a live broadcast from Tokyo, Japan, shows CCG investigators working tirelessly to eradicate ghouls. From a historical perspective, this is a scene that cannot be ignored. The first war between humans and aliens is about to begin. From an entertainment perspective, this is a free blockbuster that combines science fiction, gunfights, action, fantasy, and documentary. It would be a shame not to watch it."

"Make room for me, make room for me. I won't miss this kind of thing." After hearing the short boy's explanation, the boy immediately squeezed in between the three boys and looked at the live broadcast on the computer screen with great interest.

For a time, following the sudden evaporation incident in Japanese waters caused by the negotiations between the Japanese government and Soul Society four years ago, the attention of people all over the world was focused on Japan, an island country with a low presence, for the second time.

In Tokyo's 11th district, as the investigators' team slowly advanced 500 meters, ghouls descended from the sky from all directions, led by the one-eyed king Izumi Takatsuki, and rushed towards the investigators, starting a fierce encounter.

Although it was an encounter battle, in fact, both sides had already made preparations. The CCG side was prepared to be surrounded and attacked, and the investigators on the ghoul side also prepared defensive measures, so this encounter battle did not have the effect it should have.

After the battle started, Arima Takamasa and Takatsuki Izumi, the two strongest men on both sides, met each other's attacks tacitly. After a short and fierce battle, the two fell into a tug-of-war. Without a lot of time, the winner could not be determined.

The battle between the other ghouls and the investigators continued for several minutes, and it also became one-sided. Of course, it wasn't a one-sided situation where the investigators were suppressed by the ghouls, but rather the ghouls were completely suppressed by the investigators.

While it might seem like the ghouls outnumbered the investigators by hundreds of times, and the investigators also had to protect the reporters and cameramen, both of whom were burdensome, having more people had its advantages, and having fewer people had its advantages. At the very least, a smaller force allowed everyone to fully utilize their combat power, while a larger force would have made combat more difficult. After all, the battleground here wasn't an open battlefield. Furthermore, the individual combat power of the investigators far surpassed that of the ghouls.

For example, there was the temporary investigator Kii Kagero, who, despite forcibly suppressing his own power, still managed to decapitate dozens of ghouls with a single blow; the Gurkha swordswoman, the Japanese swordsman, and nearly ten other masters transferred from the Dark World to the CCG, along with nearly a hundred Dark World experts. Each of these martial artists from the Dark World could fight ten, even a hundred, one at a time, and even mitigate their attacks to avoid attracting too much attention. Combined with the ammunition of the military snipers already ambushed in Area 11, they steadily suppressed ghouls that outnumbered them by hundreds of times.

In the sky, a figure coming from afar attracted Zhang Luo's attention and made Zhang Luo's face change drastically. He immediately performed brain closure on his brain, and then urged Ruger's light wheel to escape at the fastest speed.

“It’s so insignificant.”

The boy who came from afar sitting on the back of the fire spirit

Chapter 58 The opening of the drama (too lazy to divide into chapters, anyway, it’s 4,000 per day)

"so close."

Zhang Luo hid in an empty building, patting his chest with lingering fear. If he had been approached by Ma Cang Ye Wang just now, with the other party's clairvoyance ability, the heroic spirit script he had conceived in his mind would have been impossible to hide. Fortunately, he left in time.

However, since Asakura Leaf King has appeared, it means that the following script must be changed. At least a gold card or a silver card close to a gold card is needed. This is necessary to deal with Asakura Leaf King, whose current strength is not weaker than Aizen who has not used the Hogyoku, and may even be stronger.

[Achieve the second Ghoul series achievement, Ghoul Hunter, and receive two Saint Quartz as a reward.]

[Achieve the second of the 100-man slaying series of achievements, and receive two Saint Quartz stones as a reward.]

In the system space, Zhang Luo called up the system panel and checked Jack's achievements over the past few days.

Well, it's not bad. With seven Saint Quartz, if I'm lucky, I should be able to draw a Servant that can deal with the King of Leaf Asakura. If I wait a little longer, maybe I can complete the achievement of Ghoul Buster and save up for another ten-pull.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was dark. However, the battle between the ghouls and the investigators had temporarily stopped.

Because it was getting late and he had not gained any advantage in the battle with the investigators, Takatsuki Izumi issued an order to retreat, intending to go back and rest before launching a surprise attack under the cover of night.

Arima Takamasa did not stop Takatsuki Izumi's retreat, and prevented the confident investigators from pursuing the victory.

"There's an old Eastern saying: Don't pursue a desperate enemy. These ghouls have been lying in ambush in Area 11 for so long, they've already mastered the terrain. If we pursue them, they'll surely use the terrain to their advantage and scatter and hunt us. Furthermore, ghouls are far stronger than humans, giving them an advantage in nighttime battles. Let's find a place to rest first and resume the battle in half an hour."

"clear."

The CCG investigators naturally would not have any other opinions on Arima Takashi's orders. The dark martial artists were only responsible for killing zombies, and they didn't care about other things at all.

So, a group of investigators protected the reporters and cameramen and came to the lobby of a hotel, where they rested and had dinner.

On the other side, in the ghouls' base, in a large commercial plaza, the ghouls were also having a meal, but what they ate was different from what the investigators on the other side ate. There were probably tens of thousands of human corpses, a small part of which were residents of District 11, and a large part were corpses in the morgues of major hospitals in Tokyo.

Unbeknownst to both sides, a black fog suddenly filled Area 11. In just a few minutes, it covered most of Area 11.

At the same time, three blurry figures wandered in the black mist, like the god of death in the dark night, and began to harvest souls.

At another entrance to the blocked 11th district, Shizue Deiba, Masagaku Tsuchimiya, Naraku Isayama, hundreds of exorcists, and more than fifty demon exorcists from the Deiba family were waiting for their chance.

"It's here, we can go now."

Noticing the mist slowly rising in the distance, a fierce look flashed in Chang Jingsi's eyes. This time he must kill the evil spirit. The reputation of the Chang family cannot be ruined in his hands.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shizue Deba strode into Area 11, and Masagaku Tsuchimiya, Naraku Isayama and others hurriedly followed.

In the office where Takatsuki Izumi and a group of Bronze Tree executives were, a young ghoul suddenly rushed in from outside, his face full of fear, and he shouted in panic: "Oh no! Something happened!"

"What's going on? Are the white pigeons attacking us?" Duo Duoliang frowned and asked sternly.

"It's not a white dove, it's a ghost! There's a ghost outside!" The zombie pointed outside in shock and said loudly.

"Ha! Ghost? Do you want to die, you idiot? How dare you come here and talk nonsense?" Daimori Yakumo asked fiercely. His ferocious and brutal reputation scared the incoming zombie so much that it took two steps back and fell to the ground.
