Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

After stopping the fight between Wu Ji and Xiang Ying, Li Xin told the two about the "Demon God".

"I'll go to Moscow."

Wu Ji took the initiative and said, "That place is not far from my Great Rakshasa Sect, so I know it better."

He owed Li Xin a favor by agreeing to a duel, and now he could settle that score.

"I haven't been to Venice yet, so I'll take care of that place."

Xiang Ying also said.

Both men made their choices, leaving Li Xin with only New York as an option.

"Alright, let's meet up in South America after we've each dealt with the 'demons' causing trouble."

Li Xin addressed Wu Ji and Xiang Yingdao.

"Wait, I have another question."

Xiang Ying asked, "Can't New York and Moscow solve the 'demon' on their own?"

He's quite willing to fight, but there are some things he doesn't understand.

Venice is one thing, it's the territory of the victorious nation, and aside from military matters, it's not particularly outstanding in terms of strength, so it's normal that it can't handle the awakened "demon god". But New York and Moscow... these are cities of the "five permanent members" of the UN Security Council, and Moscow is even the capital of Russia. How come they can't handle a mere "demon god"?

Li Xin spread his hands and said, "That female CIA agent said that America is a free, democratic market economy country."

"so?"

Li Xin said with a very strange expression, "So those extraordinary powerhouses aren't under the jurisdiction of America's government, but are employed by those conglomerates and large corporations. If the government wants to deploy extraordinary powerhouses, it must make a deal with the conglomerates or companies behind them. Only after they've reached an agreement can the extraordinary powerhouses be deployed. And also..."

"besides?"

Yes, there are more.

Li Xin nodded and then said, "Animal protection organizations believe that those 'demons' are rare animals, and that they attack cities because humans have destroyed their habitats. They are calling on the government to protect them. Some human rights organizations also believe that those humanoid 'demons' are not monsters, but ethnic minorities who are treated unfairly. They also want the government to take their demands seriously and not use violence against them."

"In short, for various reasons, America is temporarily unable to deal with the 'demons'. Not only can she not harm them, but she also has to protect them."

Li Xin shrugged.

"What a fucking lousy country!"

Xiang Ying immediately started cursing.

When "demons" cause trouble, shouldn't the first thing to do be to deploy the army to protect the citizens and then annihilate the "demons"? Why do we need to protect those "demons"?

"And what about Moscow?"

Xiang Ying asked again, "Surely this Rakshasa can't be as outrageous as America, right?"

"I don't know what the situation is like on the Rakshasa's side."

Li Xin shook his head.

He knew about the situation in New York because Sonia, a CIA agent, told him. It was only because her hometown had suffered that Sonia begged Li Xin for help; if it had been another city, she probably wouldn't have been so anxious.

As for what happened in Rakshasa, Li Xin had never been there, so he really didn't know anything about it.

"I know that."

Wu Ji sneered a few times, then said, "The Rakshasa side has long since lost all its extraordinary experts. Relying only on some ordinary soldiers and firearms, it is indeed possible that they cannot deal with those 'demons'."

"What did you say? The Rakshasa have no extraordinary experts? How is that possible!"

Li Xin was somewhat skeptical.

If you ask which country is the strongest in the world, America is undoubtedly the answer, but there are many different opinions on who is second.

Russia, which inherited most of the legacy of the former Soviet Union, one of the only two superpowers, has always been a strong contender for this ranking, more competitive than the other two permanent members of the UN Security Council.

How could a former superpower not have extraordinary individuals?

Wu Ji slowly said, "If it were the Su Alliance, then there would indeed be extraordinary experts, and genuine extraordinary experts at that, numbering no less than ten. Most of them would obey the Su Alliance and be willing to charge into battle for its interests, even at the cost of their lives. However, Rakshasa is Rakshasa, and the Su Alliance is the Su Alliance. Rakshasa did inherit most of the Su Alliance's legacy, but it is not the Su Alliance after all. And those extraordinary experts' only loyalty was to the Su Alliance, so on the day the Su Alliance disintegrated, they left alone."

"Walking alone?"

"Yes, they broke away from the army and formed their own organization called 'Red Will.' They don't interfere in any national affairs; they just live in seclusion in Siberia, surrounded by ice and snow. I fought with a few of them; they're a very interesting bunch."

Thinking of those extraordinary powerhouses from the "Red Will," Wu Ji couldn't help but smile. Li Xin knew from Wu Ji's smile that he must have thoroughly enjoyed beating those people.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot!"

Wu Ji seemed to remember something and said to Li Xin, "Rakshasa still has extraordinary experts. After the disintegration of the Su Alliance, Rakshasa vigorously supported Chengjiao in order to gain Chengjiao's support. Therefore, the extraordinary experts of Chengjiao will still obey the Rakshasa government. However, I heard that one of the only two extraordinary experts in Rakshasa Chengjiao was seriously injured by someone last year and is unable to move. The other extraordinary expert has to protect the Grand Patriarch and cannot leave easily. So it is equivalent to not having any extraordinary experts available."

After hearing Wu Ji explain why Rakshasa had no extraordinary experts available, Li Xin felt a pang of emotion.

No wonder that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia fawned over Europe like a lapdog, practically offering its face to Europe's feet for them to trample on, yet it still appeared devoted and unwavering. Li Xin didn't quite understand this before, but now it seems that it's because Russia is weak. On the surface, it is still one of the "five permanent members" and a former superpower, but Russia is not the Soviet Union. Many things are gone, and it simply doesn't have the strength to challenge Europe and the United States.

But now is not the time to reminisce. Li Xin said to Wu Ji and Xiang Ying, "Let's get going. Do you need me to prepare transportation for you?"

Sonia had previously told Li Xin that she would fully support his actions and that he could freely use the fighter jets at the US military base. Hayabusa has already traveled to South America in a fighter jet from the US military base.

Wu Ji and Xiang Ying exchanged a glance, then laughed and said, "Who wants that kind of slow transportation? We'll handle it ourselves. Just mind your own business!"

"Alright, let's split up!"

Li Xin said to the two of them.

....................................

In Moscow, heavy snow was falling, and countless tank tracks sped across the snow-covered ground, kicking up mud like a torrent. On either side of each tank, several soldiers followed, their steps coordinated, maintaining a very precise distance from the tank.

Although more than 50 years have passed since World War II, the veterans from the Soviet Union era have not forgotten the tactics of "infantry-tank combined arms".

One of the soldiers walked a little too fast and was immediately reminded by the soldiers behind him.

"Keda, slow down, don't overtake the tanks!"

Upon hearing the veteran's reminder, the young soldier named Keda immediately slowed down and returned to his original formation.

"You brat, do you know what you're about to face? How dare you run so fast!"

The veteran who spoke up to remind Keda cursed at the young soldier.

The young soldier didn't retort. He knew exactly what he was about to face, but he was fearless.

He will defend the glory of the Rakshasa!

The tank unit quickly arrived at its destination, in front of a tall clock tower. However, what made so many tanks and soldiers stand ready was not a building, but a huge, ferocious monster crouching on top of the clock tower.

This monster resembles a bat, but has four wings and two legs, scarlet eyes, and dense fangs. Moreover, this monster can speak human language.

“You insolent apes, we’ve only been gone a short time, and you’ve already become so arrogant and conceited.”

"Have you forgotten that you have survived until now only because of the mercy of the 'Demon God'?"

“You ungrateful monkeys, once Lord Dara Day resurrects the ‘Demon God’ and restores his power, you will all be waiting to die.”

"On behalf of Lord Dara Day, I hereby issue you an ultimatum: surrender, or die!"

While the monster was speaking, the tank force was fully prepared. When it spread its wings and took flight, waving flames in its hands, the tank force commander immediately ordered all units to fire.

Dozens of shells were fired in unison, while below, many soldiers raised their rifles and continuously fired bullets, launching a saturation attack on the monster.

However, when these tank shells, which could penetrate up to 1,000 millimeters at a distance of 2,000 meters, were fired at the monster, they were all blown apart in mid-air by the monster with a casual wave of its hand. The monster then waved its hand again, and a huge fireball shot towards the tank formation. Dozens of tanks and the surrounding infantry were all blown into the air by the fireball.

All the tank crew inside the sturdy tank were killed, and the surrounding infantry were also killed or wounded, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Upon witnessing this horrific scene, the tank commander couldn't help but shed tears, not from fear, but from resentment.

If only those generals were still here...

Any one of those generals could easily crush such a beast!

But after the red flag fell from the Kremlin, they resolutely left the army; in their words, their country had fallen.

Having destroyed the tank force with a single blow, the bat monster couldn't help but feel smug. He shouted, "Regret it now? I am one of the 'Four Killer Demon Kings,' 'Sednis of Flames,' the 'Demon God' who controls fire!"

The tank commander quickly wiped away his tears, because Moscow doesn't believe in tears.

He picked up a rifle from the ground, which no soldier had dropped, and continued to shoot at the bat monster even though he knew it was pointless.

The devastating blow failed to completely subdue these lowly monkeys. The bat monster felt offended and unleashed its flames again. This time, although it was only a small flame, it was enough to turn an ordinary person to ashes.

The tank commander had seen the flames shooting toward him, but instead of dodging, he continued to pull the trigger.

Slavs are indifferent to life and death; if you're not convinced, just fight!

All his men had been killed in action. If he, as the commander, were to live on in disgrace, how could he face those fallen soldiers?

"General, be careful!"

A figure lunged at the commander, knocking him away. Flames grazed the commander's body and exploded into a large crater on the ground.

Although the commander was not directly hit by the flames, the shockwave from the explosion still threw him far away. He barely managed to get up from the ground, grabbed the soldier who had tackled him, straightened the soldier's helmet, and discovered that it was a very young and handsome face.

"Child, why did you save me..."

Looking at that young face, the commander felt a pang of grief.

The young soldier revealed a bloodless smile: "Protecting the glory of the Rakshasa, the glory of a soldier..."

Do the glories of the Rakshasa and the glory of the soldiers still exist?

The commander smiled bitterly, while simultaneously feeling a deep hatred for those members of the cult.

They had promised to protect the Rakshasa, but at this crucial moment, not a single person was sent, leaving only ordinary soldiers to take their place.

When the red flag fell, it wasn't just the extraordinary experts who left the army; other remarkable soldiers also chose to leave and make a living on their own. Now, the remarkable soldiers of Rakshasa are as rare as phoenix feathers.

How could such a force possibly fight against these monsters with superhuman strength?

Does this mean that, in the final moments, the only option is to use the Ivan IV to perish together with the enemy?

A resolute glint flashed in the commander's eyes.

The bat monster saw two living people on the ground and a playful smile appeared on its face: "Heh, there are still two humans alive. I haven't been active for too long, and I haven't been able to control my power well. But it doesn't matter, I will send you to hell soon. Die, you hairless and stupid apes!"

The raging flames swept in, and the commander and the young soldiers couldn't help but close their eyes—there was no way they could avoid such an attack.

As the flames fell, both the commander and the young soldier could feel the intense heat, but for some reason, neither of them felt any pain. Was it because they had turned to ashes and had lost all sense of pain?

The two couldn't help but secretly open their eyes, and what came into their view was a figure more imposing than a mountain.

The bat monster, enraged at Wu Ji for ruining its plans, roared, "You bastard, where did you come from! How dare you offend me, the 'Demon God of Flames'! I'll burn you to death!"

"You talk too much nonsense."

Wu Ji said calmly. At the same time, the Nine Nether Qi hidden deep underground was drawn out by him and poured into his body, greatly increasing his strength and speed.

"Nine Netherworld Overlord"!

Wu Ji's hands are shaped like claws as he launches his attack from an upward momentum. The claw strikes are fierce and swift, each accompanied by Netherworld flames formed from the power of the Nine Netherworlds.

"This is……"

Before the bat monster could even react, Wu Ji pierced its body with his iron claws, breaking off all four wings and two legs, and its entire body was engulfed in deep red hellfire.

"It's so hot, I'm on fire... Ahhh!"

Burned by the hellfire, the bat monster let out a shrill scream before exploding into a ball of flame.

Wu Ji spread his cloak and stood protectively in front of the commander and the young soldiers, asking them, "Are you alright?"

"No, it's nothing..."

The young soldier stared blankly at this incomparably powerful figure, who was like a god, his eyes filled with longing.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

The young soldier asked.

"I?"

Wu Ji smiled and said, "Just a martial artist passing by."

Warrior...

The young soldier remembered this title well.

The commander stood up from the ground and said to Wu Ji, "Friend, thank you for saving us. We Rakshasa will never forget your kindness. If it weren't for you, we Rakshasa don't know what would have happened to us."

"Gratitude?"

Wu Ji looked in a certain direction and smiled: "Not really. Even if I didn't show up, nothing would probably happen here."

Ha, you say you're going alone, but you haven't actually gone anywhere.
