From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil
Page 137
"Stop saying these meaningless things!" Derek finally came over. He couldn't say that he had completely treated this young monster who had saved him twice as his own, but at least he had enough trust in him. "Go look for clues! Kamiya, you have to pay special attention to any traces of demonic energy or something like that!"
"I understand." Xia Chuan nodded, took out the watchman's ID and hung it on his chest, and began to search the military camp where the accident occurred like everyone else.
The bodies of those guys who used ghost masks to transform into monsters had been burned by him before. He deliberately did not walk that way, but walked in the opposite direction. He only trotted over after hearing people shouting.
"The specific composition still needs to be identified. We can't do it here in Guam, so we have to send it to Tokyo. But judging from the appearance of these shadows, they must be the monsters that appeared at the beginning."
"How did they appear? We must find out!" P said angrily. "No matter what method you use, even if you have to turn this island upside down, you must find the person who did this!"
“If only it were that easy.” The members of the Watch whispered as he drove away.
Some of them were Derek's subordinates brought from Tokyo, and the other part were the original Watchmen members from Guam. Most of the people brought by P were injured and sent to the hospital when the plane crashed during landing, and they were completely unable to play a role.
Everyone in the military camp was dead, there were no witnesses, and there was no way of knowing how the incident happened in the first place.
What’s even more annoying is that all the existing cameras in the military camp were destroyed and didn’t capture anything.
"At least it proves that the person who created this incident was not a guy who knows nothing about modern society, right?" Xia Chuan took the initiative to tell this clue, which was of no use anyway.
"Check for people who have been on the island in the past month." Derek ignored him and said to the others. "The evil spirit will not destroy the monitoring equipment on its own initiative. Someone must have released it here. We must find it!"
This is a good idea, but there are more than 10,000 people in the entire base, and hundreds of people go to the island within a month. Checking the identity background of these people requires cooperation from the United States, and the workload is extremely large.
"If we can use magic to find the real culprit behind the scenes..." Xia Chuan said casually while helping to look up classified information. "Derrick, it's already like this, why can't we use the prophecy prop you mentioned? Then what kind of situation can it be used in? You have been a member of the Watchers for so long, have you ever used that thing?"
"Why are you so interested in this?" Derek looked up at him.
"Let's quickly resolve this so we can go back!" Xia Chuan said calmly. "I thought we could go on vacation to a tropical island, but...if we can't find out the result, do we have to stay on this island forever?"
"This is not something we can decide." Derek looked at him and shook his head slightly. "The scope has been narrowed down now. Want to go home? Then invest a little more and find the guy hiding in the dark as soon as possible!"
Chapter 177 Creating Answers
Does Derek really know the conditions for using the prophecy prop?
Through the existing identity, can we really ensure that we get the news before the watcher uses the prophecy prop?
Take out Derek and take his place?
Xia Chuan quickly rejected the last idea. Looking at Henman and others before, it is clear that the attitude of the Watchers towards aliens may not be as strict as Akasaka, but it is also not very friendly, let alone trusting. Even if Derek is killed, another human will definitely be brought in by air to replace him. It is impossible for a Tokyo monster like him to take a slightly more important position.
The important officials were all moody lunatics, and Xia Chuan really didn't want to have direct contact with them, so the most advantageous approach for him at the moment was probably to continue to maintain Derek's trust, help him climb to a more important position as much as possible, and then, as his confidant, obtain more and higher-level intelligence.
Moreover, he couldn't be tied to this island for long, so why not kill the important person P and let Derek solve the problem?
This was the first time for Xia Chuan to perform such a difficult operation, so while others were working hard to search and analyze the existing intelligence, he was also working hard to make a plan.
The first half was easy, but... it was really hard to let Derek finish it. I'll just let it go with the flow.
"Why Guam? Why this time period? Why were so many people killed?" These questions were written on the whiteboard in the office, and Xia Chuan's thoughts were finally opened by the agents.
Paul began to look for shipwrecks and other things around him as Xia Chuan requested.
This is not easy, but many years ago, there were indeed ships that used ocean currents to travel between America and Luzon, and there were indeed ships that sank in the sea due to storms. Hundreds of years later, most of the shipwrecks that fell into the deep sea had already decayed. However, Paul finally found some things that were relatively well preserved and in good condition according to Xia Chuan's needs.
What surprised Xia Chuan was that there were actually a few inherited items among them. However, because they had been submerged in the deep sea for many years, the spiritual power contained in them had completely disappeared.
One of the items was a two-ear bottle carved from a whole piece of crystal, with complicated magic circles engraved on the surface. It was probably used to hold some mysterious items, or even to seal something. Xia Chuan quickly made a matching rotten wooden stopper out of the wood from the sunken ship, and even asked Paul to find a relatively intact wooden box from the sunken ship to put it in, and then buried it in the deep sea near the first attack.
Then, he began to make the second prop, using the ghost mask as a model, and using the soul jade and the inherited items found in the shipwreck to piece together a gorgeous mask full of Inca style. He also put it in an old but well-preserved wooden box, and then gave it to Paul for safekeeping.
"I've had enough!" When everything was ready, on an equally boring and painful afternoon, he angrily threw the folder in his hand to the ground, and then pushed down the mountain of documents piled in front of him.
"Kamiya Hiroshi!" Derek's brows furrowed quickly. Patience has always been a quality that aliens lack, because their talents determine that their way of achieving success is completely different from that of humans. He once expected Kamiya Hiroshi to be different and have a way of thinking closer to that of humans. Now it seems that he is still...
"Can dealing with these ghosts all day long solve the problem? What if the answer is not among these people? Aren't we wasting our time in vain?" Xia Chuan continued.
"These are the only clues we have now. If we don't do these things, what else can we do?"
"My intuition tells me that the answer will never be hidden in these things!" Xia Chuan said loudly. "You like to play word games, then you can continue to play, anyway, I've had enough! I want to go to the scene again! The answer should be there!"
Derek hesitated, then nodded.
It was impossible to force an alien to a certain place, and Kamiya Hiroshi was already an honest one among them. At least he was willing to do something, so if he went to the scene, he might be able to find some clues that had been missed before.
"I'll send a team to support you."
Xia Chuan then began to wander back and forth between the previous military camp and the air force base where the bird attack occurred, laying some groundwork. Later, he asked for a boat equipped with divers and deep-diving equipment.
"What do you want to do?"
"Those divers before were just ordinary humans." Xia Chuan answered. "There are some things they may not be able to find. Moreover, with my physique, I can dive deeper and stay in the sea longer to search a wider space. Didn't a detective drama recently say that the clues to solving a serial murder case are often hidden in the first case, because that is the first time, the murderer is still inexperienced and is more likely to leave evidence."
Learning knowledge by watching TV... Derek was a little powerless to complain, but what Hiro Kamiya said was not completely unreasonable.
"Be careful!" he then said.
"Don't worry, I won't go into the fog." Xia Chuan said. "As soon as I see the fog, I will sneak back and won't give that thing a chance!"

"Why do we have to patrol here when there's no way there are people?" An American soldier looked at the nearby buildings uneasily and complained in a low voice.
"Stop talking nonsense." His companion also kept looking around anxiously, forcing himself to take deep breaths to fight the fear. "Just finish the task quickly and get out!"
The third soldier suddenly stopped moving: "Did you hear anything?"
"Stop scaring people! Don't you see what kind of hell this place is?" others said immediately.
"No, there really was some sound..."
Everyone heard the unusual sound at this time. They had no intention of checking it out, but wanted to escape from the barracks at the same time. But at this time, the same sound came from the direction they came from.
"Oh, God……"
"Mother……"
Everyone knew what had happened in this military camp, and in an instant, the fear of death took over their entire consciousness.
At this time, the source of the sound finally appeared in front of them.
"Rat? Rat!!"
Gray-black torrents were coming from different directions. Almost all the rats on the entire island gathered in this place. Someone subconsciously shot at them, and the rats immediately went crazy. Many rats climbed directly onto the soldiers' bodies and began to bite them fiercely.
Chapter 178 Find the Answer
"Why did the monsters and evil spirits before and the swarm of rats this time all target that military camp? What on earth is there that attracts them?"
The people of Watchmen are pondering the answers to these questions.
The rats that crazily attacked the soldiers kept gnawing and digging in the military camp and attacking anyone who entered the area, which made them wonder if there was something hidden under the land.
They quickly found the original map of the island and discovered that the area where the military camp was located was originally a beach. It was only since the 1950s that it was gradually dredged and filled with sand to raise the land, and then poured with concrete to build today's military camp on it.
“Before the land was created, was the land ever inspected and excavated?”
They looked through all the information about the original land reclamation project, but could not find any relevant information. They only accidentally found a legend that the first group of colonists arrived on the island in 1565, drew a cross, and declared that the island belonged to God and his people. That place was nearby.
"This is the place, not the one in the guidebook? The one in the hotel?"
"It is said that when tourism was being developed later, it was discovered that this place had been requisitioned as a military base, so they found another beach and placed the legend there."
"Dig this place up!" Officer P made the decision immediately.
It is impossible to trace what exactly happened in this place in history because more than four hundred years have passed.
But this island must have had indigenous people and their own gods. According to the data collected by the Watcher, on an island of this size, the god system is always relatively simple, that is, the residents of the entire island often devoutly believe in one or a few gods. Moreover, because it is isolated from the outside world, it is not easy for foreign gods and monsters to compete for the right to believe. Although these indigenous gods more or less lack the ability to use divine power, they have been able to accumulate considerable power and cultivate a large number of heterogeneous subordinates during the long years of monopolizing the island's faith.
It is conceivable that more than 400 years ago, when there was no ability to bomb the land, the colonists must have had a fierce battle with the indigenous gods before they occupied the island and claimed that it belonged to God.
The place where the cross was drawn might even be the place where the indigenous gods were beheaded or sealed.
Following this line of thought, all questions suddenly make sense.
The indigenous gods on the islands are likely to be related to marine life, and among the alien creatures they raise, there are likely to be a large number of sea monsters.
Someone may have unsealed the seal, or perhaps the indigenous gods that were sealed and expelled have found their way home.
The Watchers do not know how to reseal and expel them, but they have a simpler and more brutal method.
Dig them out and install EMP weapons with maximum power. If that doesn't work, it would not be unacceptable to conduct one or even multiple nuclear tests here.
Wasn’t that the arrogant guy who called himself the God of the Sea killed in this way?
A large number of construction machinery were immediately dispatched because the workers were afraid to start construction. They even used EMP to clean up the military camp repeatedly. The members of the Watchers first operated the machinery to dig the first pit, and then the workers finally took action.
A large number of EMP weapons were deployed to the area, and the Marine Corps also deployed troops to deal with possible situations. There was even a tactical nuclear bomb ready to be launched at this place. But of course, most people were unaware of this arrangement.
The project progressed quickly. At this time, Hiroya Kamiya, who had been out to sea for two days, excitedly reported a piece of news to Derek Scott. He accidentally discovered the remains of an almost completely damaged shipwreck on the seabed about two nautical miles south of the site of the first sea monster attack. He also found traces left by the giant monster, and his most important discovery was an item in the shipwreck.
"Send the stuff back immediately!" VIP P ordered immediately.
#####
"These things are very old. The specific situation can only be confirmed after I get them, but judging from the videos and photos you sent back now, they should be in the style of the 16th century." A researcher said on the computer screen.
"What could possibly be contained in this amphora?" asked Officer P.
"It's hard to say. It could be a magic potion, an elf, an evil spirit, or a monster. The dirt on its surface is too thick, and it's almost impossible to see any traces of it. We need to carefully remove the dirt to find out if there is any relevant information. Generally, there will be detailed instructions on the bottle stopper and seal, but since these things have been destroyed, the answer may never be known. However, since a sea monster suddenly appeared in the nearby sea, it is very likely that something escaped from here."
"Give me a detailed report as soon as possible!"
"Yes, we will get started as soon as the stuff arrives."
Although the report has not come out yet, everyone actually has the answer in their hearts.
The sealed sea monster, the shipwreck, the long years, the broken seal, these keywords are enough to support a complete and credible story. The only question now is whether it is related to what happened on the island.
If there is, then what came out of the bottle might not be a sea monster, but something more troublesome. Then, this shipwreck is very likely related to the missionaries who occupied the island. But they have no idea now why no one has come to find and solve its problem for such a long time.
"Perhaps all those who knew about the situation at the time happened to be on the boat? Or, something happened on the island later, causing the last person who knew about the situation to die unexpectedly, and he didn't have time to leave this important information to the successors?" Someone filled in the gap perfectly with a guess, and Xia Chuan next to him couldn't help but call him an expert.
“So, this thing summoned a sea monster, restored some of its power through the flesh and souls of those victims, and then sneaked back to the island, ready to release the things sealed on the island?” VIP P made the final conclusion.
"Should we stop working on it?" Derek asked immediately. "Maybe instead of digging it up, we should reinforce it?"
"That would just temporarily hide the problem." Officer P said disdainfully. "He hasn't launched another operation for such a long time, which means his strength has been seriously damaged in the previous operation. If we don't seize this opportunity to completely destroy the sealed things, are we going to wait for him to gather strength again before making a comeback? Not only can the project not be stopped, but the progress must be accelerated!"
Chapter 179 Insect Swarm
There are so many teammates...
Xia Chuan once thought that he had the answer first and then pieced together the evidence. If he was not careful, he might accidentally reveal some information and arouse people's suspicion. Therefore, he deliberately avoided this period of time and prepared to use mice, crabs and insects to create some supernatural phenomena in several rounds to induce the watcher's thoughts.
But he really couldn't have predicted that these guys were probably driven crazy by the enormous pressure and filled in all the details that he hadn't thought of before so perfectly.
So, the next question is to choose a suitable time to bury the prepared things there.
If Officer P didn't push forward and dig up that place, it would not be easy to do this facing the thick concrete.
Since someone had already written the script for him, he was relieved. In order to cooperate with the speculation of the important person P and make him sure that he was correct, Xia Chuan even arranged for Paul to create thick fog several times in the nearby sea area.
It goes without saying that because the US military has paid close attention to this sea area and monitored and warned the ships coming and going in advance, no ship has entered the fog area. On the contrary, every time there is thick fog, VIP P will rush to the airport as soon as possible to personally protect the fighter jets from taking off and attack the fog area with EMP weapons and depth charges.
No one knows whether the attack has had the desired effect, but the frequency of this unnatural fog is indeed decreasing.
"The purpose of that thing is to prevent us from attacking the monsters he summoned. This just proves that what we did is right." Agent P said confidently.
The thorny problem that forced J and M to hide in Tokyo and dare not show up was finally solved quickly and properly in his hands, which was enough to prove the gap between them.
So, isn't it obvious who should take over Tokyo next and who should be responsible for the wild lands of New Guinea and Australia?

"Paul, can you also regenerate your own broken limbs like an ordinary octopus?" Xia Chuan asked from a distance.
To strengthen the confidence of Officer P, it seems that some decisive evidence is needed.
"I haven't tried this yet, but it should work, right?" Paul was a little unsure, and after a few seconds he told Xia Chuan: "It should work."
"Huh? You already?" Xia Chuan really didn't know what to say about its efficiency. However, this was probably because it was also interested in this matter, so it couldn't wait, right?
"What about the tentacles after they are cut off?"
"It still maintains its gigantic size, and it has a tendency to return to its original form. I will try to keep it away from its original form for a while to see if anything changes." Paul is really smart. "If the activity disappears naturally, I will wait for it to rot a little before sending it to the coast."
