From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

"Is the detector responding?" Derek asked loudly.

"Not yet!" the operator responded nervously and loudly.

Derek gritted his teeth and said, "Turn around! Go towards the fog!"

"Captain Scott!?" the captain screamed.

"This is a rare opportunity. We must confirm what is in there! Our ship is fast and will only operate in the edge area. There will be no problem!"

"This is suicide! I can't take my crew..."

Derek pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the captain's head: "That's an order! Turn around immediately!"

"you can not……"

"You can try," Derek said.

The speedboat reluctantly drew a long arc on the sea and headed towards the fog. They were originally planning to move at the edge of the fog, but visibility dropped sharply as soon as they entered the fog, and the naked eye could only see a dozen meters away.

"Is there any response from the detector?" Derek asked again.

"No."

"Keep going inside! Pay attention to the reactions of the radar and sonar systems!"

Everyone was extremely nervous. The command center in Guam had been in contact with them. According to the notification from there, a formation of fighter jets was already in position above their heads, ready to launch missiles at their designated location at any time.

Suddenly, an object appeared on the radar!

"Due east, two nautical miles away from us!"

"Detector!" Derek almost shouted.

"Still no response!"

"Sonar?"

"No unusual objects detected!"

Derek cursed and then immediately made up his mind.

"Send the target's location to command! We're evacuating immediately!"

Just a few dozen seconds later, an explosion broke out not far behind them. The fighter jets launched three rounds of attacks on the large object detected by the radar, and they also broke free from the thick fog in time.

Derek waited for more than an hour with a nervous and excited mood. The thick fog finally dissipated gradually, and he immediately urged the speedboat to head in that direction again.

There was no obvious response on the radar, only some smaller objects were detected. After more than ten minutes, they finally saw what it was.

Large amounts of broken ice floating on the sea.

"Iceberg? What a joke, this is in the tropics!" someone whispered.

There is no doubt that this incident must be a supernatural event. The only question now is what exactly caused it.

"Whatever caused these incidents, it's not gone away yet." Derek was speaking into the intercom. "We must keep a close eye on the dense fog in the nearby sea. If..."

The speedboat suddenly shook, as if it had hit something. All the objects that were not secured flew forward, and several people almost fell into the water.

Derek almost fell down, but he immediately got up and asked loudly, "What happened?"

"Captain Scott..." the sonar operator said in an extremely uneasy voice, his voice seemed to be drained of oxygen because of his fear. "There is a big thing..."

“Where?!”

"Right...right below us..."

Chapter 172 North Sea Giant Demon

It was as if they were suddenly frozen, and everyone's movements stopped instantly.

The hull was making a creaking sound and shaking slightly, as if something was entangled in it, dismantling it, and dragging it into the deep sea.

"EMP!" Derek suddenly screamed the next moment. "Bombs, grenades, use whatever you have! What are you all standing there for? Aren't you going to fight for your life?"

People then woke up and began frantically looking for weapons that could be thrown at the unknown monster in the sea.

An agent suddenly screamed and flew up. A moment later, people could see clearly that he was being swept away by a huge tentacle.

Someone rushed to the machine gun at the front of the speedboat and fired wildly at the tentacle, but the next second, another tentacle attacked from behind, twisted him off along with the machine gun base, and dragged him directly into the sea.

Are you going to die here?

Everyone despaired.

They come looking for answers, but no one wants to be the answer.

The speedboat began to shake violently and no one could stand. Under everyone's desperate gaze, Xia Chuan rushed towards the EMP generator that was sliding towards the stern.

Strong light, explosion, shock wave, the huge tentacles suddenly swung chaotically, and then, in the turbulent water, those tentacles suddenly loosened at the same time and disappeared around the side of the ship with a splash.

Because they were suddenly released, the speedboat suddenly bounced upwards, and the violent shaking threw the two people into the sea. A few seconds later, Derek and others came to their senses, rushed to the side of the boat, grabbed the lifebuoys and threw them at them.

“It’s flooded!”

"There's a leak on the starboard side!"

When the horrible supernatural monster left, people finally regained the desire and courage to fight for their lives, but all the electronic equipment on the speedboat had been destroyed by EMP. They had no way to warn the surrounding ships, could not contact them, could not inform the command of their own situation, and could not even restart the engine.

Xia Chuan fell near the stern. After Derek pulled the man out of the sea, he immediately came to his side and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's not a big problem." Xia Chuan tried hard to look like he was hurt.

Derek nodded, patted his shoulder, and walked over to the others.

All the people who fell into the sea were rescued, but the two people who were swept away by the monster were nowhere to be found. People felt heavy-hearted, but at the same time, they felt happy to have escaped death.

All the unimportant heavy objects were thrown into the sea, and the remaining items and the injured who were unable to move were moved to the port side to let the boat tilt slightly, and the torn part was lifted as high as possible from the sea surface. Those who were still able to move were trying to repair the huge crack on the starboard side, and used all the tools at hand to scoop out the seawater in the cabin, trying their best to slow down the sinking of the speedboat.

The sky gradually darkened, and the fog that had originally dispersed reappeared around them. Everyone was praying that the monster would never come back. At this time, the roar of an engine was finally heard in the sky. Derek immediately took out the flare and shot it into the sky, while the others lit the fireworks signals and waved them vigorously.

More than an hour later, a speedboat finally arrived and picked them all up and took them back to the Guam base.

Instead of resting, everyone dispersed and described all the details they remembered about the monster while their memories were still fresh in their minds.

Due to fear and confusion, most people didn't see clearly what attacked them, but everyone remembered the huge tentacle and the terrifying suction cup on it. And they were all convinced that it was Xia Chuan who detonated the EMP device in time to save them.

"Kraken..." Derek quickly identified the monster they were facing.

"Kraken?" Xia Chuan asked.

"I don't know either, but it's a similar monster. But why was it attacked by EMP? Could it be that it's not a physical entity but a vengeful spirit?" Derek's brows were getting tighter and tighter. "Why Guam? Why is it staring at our warships? It seems that we need to do more investigation!"

Derek soon begins searching the island for possible evidence of someone summoning the Kraken through some ritual. On the other hand, the military is actively investigating all ships that have been in and out of the area since the initial incident, trying to find out if anyone among them brought the monster to this place.

Hundreds of people were searching hard in different ports and areas around this ocean. Hundreds of cargo ships, merchant ships and passenger ships were detained in ports, waiting for the watchers to search and confirm. According to Derek, even the relevant departments of the Special Management Bureau were alerted and launched operations in many ports in Southeast Asia.

The huge intelligence network and military force were completely mobilized, but this was not the result Xia Chuan expected at all.

If we only look at it from a military perspective, Guam’s importance should be no less than Tokyo. What kind of situation would require the Watchers to dispatch more important personnel?

#####

"Attention! Attention! Thick fog is appearing in the nearby sea area again!"

In the latest satellite images, a large area of ​​thick fog began to appear in the northern sea again. The command center immediately issued a warning to nearby ships, asking them to avoid that sea area. On the other hand, the pilots who had been on high alert also received the order to attack and ran to their fighter planes as fast as possible.

Since that thing is afraid of EMP, use an EMP bomb to destroy it.

All the fighter planes were loaded with EMP bombs and depth charges. These weapons could not be used in a city like Tokyo. However, this was Guam and the target was at sea. The US military would not have any concerns even if small nuclear bombs were used directly.

The only thing to consider is whether sea water will weaken the effectiveness of EMP weapons.

But no matter what, when the thick fog first appeared, it must be one of the moments when the monster was closest to the sea surface and its position was most certain. The sooner they launched the attack, the greater the chance of killing it.

The first attack plane quickly drove onto the runway, began to accelerate, and leaped into the sky. A moment later, the other two attack planes also took off one after another.

A sudden change occurred!

A large number of seabirds suddenly emerged from the clouds and covered the sky in front of the runway. The pilot tried to change the flight direction to avoid that airspace, but the seabirds rushed towards the plane like crazy. Within a few seconds, the two sides collided directly.

boom!

The ground crew could only watch helplessly as three fighter jets that had just taken off lost control and crashed into the sea, turning into fireballs in an instant.

But the terrifying thing was not this. The remaining seabirds began to frantically pounce on the pilot who had successfully ejected and was slowly descending with the help of a parachute.

Even standing on the ground, you could hear their screams. After a few seconds, the parachutes were completely torn apart, and people could only watch the pilots once again fall like stones onto the rocks on the shore.

Chapter 173 Welcome Ceremony

Anyone can see this was no accident.

Bird strikes are rare in themselves, not to mention the flock of birds attacking the pilot from behind.

Derek and other members of the Watchmen were immediately called to the crash site by the military leader. Hundreds of people were searching for the bodies of the pilots in the reef area at the end of the runway. Two of them had been found, and their shattered bodies made everyone who saw them terrified and angry. The third person had not been found yet, and divers were searching for possible locations.

Two tugboats were recovering the crashed fighter jet, which had also been shattered into pieces.

"What the hell is going on? You've been here for so many days, why can't you solve any problems?" The two sides were not directly subordinate to each other, and the Watchers' status might be slightly higher, but the military leader could no longer suppress his anger. "If you can't do it, send someone who can solve the problem over here right away!"

"I'll report the situation here as soon as possible." Derek was in a bad mood. He felt more and more that it was a mistake for him to go to Tokyo. As a member of the "Exterminators", he should have been attacking, destroying, and fighting, not standing in the wilderness like he was now, allowing the enemy sniper to shoot at him.

It would be great if the enemy was really Daxia or Cheka. In that case, they would only need to choose equal targets for retaliatory attacks as they did in the past.

However, there is currently no evidence to prove who or what organization attacked them, not even any clues worth mentioning.

The only thing they knew was that the other side had enough power to destroy the deterrent effect of the Watchers, and they were doing their utmost to do so.

The methods used were completely different from those used in Tokyo, but he had a strong feeling that the force behind the attack was the same one that assassinated those pilots in Tokyo not long ago.

Why exactly?

He couldn't understand it at all.

Even the most deranged terrorists will always have follow-up actions after their attacks.

To publicize their beliefs, expand their influence, prove their strength, retaliate, or even blackmail and extortion; there must be some purpose behind their hostile behavior, and they will definitely be exposed in order to achieve this goal, be targeted by the watchers, and eventually pay a sufficient price.

But there is no trace of what happened in Tokyo.

It’s not the Styx Society. There is no need for the Styx Society to run to a place so far away from Tokyo to cause trouble.

But what on earth are these damn guys trying to do by causing so much trouble?

Xia Chuan sat quietly by the side, listening to Derek report what had just happened here to J in Tokyo via satellite phone.

A Perry-class missile frigate, a supply ship, and the torpedo boat they were on earlier, three warships have been attacked, missing or sunk, and now, three F16s have been added to the list of losses. Such losses are far beyond what Derek can handle.

But it was clear that J had no intention of leaving Tokyo and coming to Guam.

Tokyo is a quagmire, but now Guam is obviously a fire pit. What kind of spirit does it take to choose to climb out of the quagmire and jump into the fire pit?

"A series of vicious alien incidents have just occurred in Tokyo. I can't leave. Please report the Guam incident directly to the headquarters."

Derek grabbed the satellite phone and wanted to smash it on the ground, but because Xia Chuan was beside him, he didn't do it after all: "You go out first, I'll call you if there's anything."

Maybe he felt it was too embarrassing and didn't want Xia Chuan to see the ugly inside of the Watcher?

Xia Chuan shook his head and walked out of the room. With his hearing, he could still hear the content of the call from outside. However, J's reaction was just right. Otherwise, he would have to kill J in Guam and see how the Watcher would react.

Derek sat in the office for a full ten minutes before he started making the phone call again, repeating what he had reported to J before.

"Derek, you guys disappoint me," the voice on the other end of the line said.

He sounds like a guy in his fifties or sixties. Could he be the so-called important person A?

"I'll send P through Darwin. Derek, don't let this get any worse until he gets here."

P?

Is it another important person?

Xia Chuan couldn't ask Derek about information he shouldn't know, and Derek didn't tell him the content of the phone call. So, during the night rest period, he quietly walked out of the room and began to look for suitable materials nearby to make the props he would need next.

Thanks to the EMP weapons that destroyed their original mobile phones during the previous attack and the lack of corresponding equipment in Guam, he is now in a rare state of being unmonitored. This identity seems to be quite useful now, so he must make some preparations to prevent himself from being exposed to others.

Perhaps because he was bored in Kangaroo Country, or perhaps because he didn't know the specific situation in Guam, P came very quickly. The next morning, Derek took Xia Chuan and other members of the Watchmen to the airport to wait for his arrival.

So……
