From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

Xia Chuan selected the weakest of the five aliens as a breakthrough point, drew his face, and told Baba Hao where he was staying.

So, they immediately selected two front-line agents and sent them to the vicinity under the pretext of routine inspections.

"Here it comes..." When the target appeared, Natsukawa immediately released some of the spiritual energy from the amulet given to them, which caused the detector in the car to react immediately, and this reaction was quickly transmitted to the Akasaka headquarters.

"Hong Kong 9-410, report the situation!"

"The detector suddenly responded and we are confirming it."

"First rule out whether it was an accidental action, and be safe!"

"understand!"

The two got out of the car and walked carefully past the target. Xia Chuan immediately gave another spiritual energy value that was enough to stimulate the detector to react.

The guy felt the spiritual energy and looked around, but the two agents had already walked right past him without alarming him. Such a weak spiritual energy did not arouse his vigilance, but made him look in the direction where the spiritual energy disappeared and think for a while.

"Hong Kong 9-410?"

"The target has been confirmed, the target has been confirmed!" After the two of them distanced themselves from the alien, they immediately reported. "It's an alien, it looks like a foreigner, currently in a coffee shop near Azabu Juban 3-chome, it seems to be waiting for someone!"

"Why is it the port area again?"

This news soon caused chaos in the Akasaka headquarters. Orders were immediately issued one after another, and information was immediately reported up the chain of command. Due to the special nature of Akasaka, this news reached Kuroda Mitsuru in more than a minute, and the mobile force that happened to be on standby nearby also received the order and rushed over immediately, and snipers began to take their positions and wait for orders.

"Foreigner?" Kuroda Koji had to hesitate.

If it were the time of Ishino Shinjiro, he would have been ready to open fire in this situation.

But now, Tokyo Watch's attitude towards aliens has subtly changed, not to mention the incident in which important figure T secretly sneaked into Tokyo with a group of his men.

He immediately called J and reported the news to him. Sure enough, J also hesitated.

Could it be that someone has been arranged to conduct a secret investigation again?

But just as he was about to confirm with Howard, new news reached Kuroda Koji.

"The target has started to move! He seems to have noticed it! He is about to enter a nearby shopping mall! The sniper on site is already in place, please give instructions on what to do!"

"Wait for me..." There was no way Kuroda Koji would order an attack at this time, but at this moment, a bullet hit the guy directly in the chest, causing him to stagger back a few steps.

"Who fired the shot?!" the commander on the scene asked angrily, but in this situation, it was too late to wait for orders from above.

Countless experiences have taught them that when facing aliens, even a second of hesitation could result in dozens or even hundreds of casualties.

Akasaka's inertia over the past many years prevailed at this moment, and he immediately shouted, "Fire! Fire! Kill it!"

Five snipers began to attack at the same time, and nearby agents immediately began to evacuate the crowd and prepare for battle.

The guy was hit by two more bullets, one of which directly broke one of his legs, but the damage was not fatal, and did not even make him lose the ability to move. He immediately began to change and pounced on the nearest building, rushing in before the new wave of attacks arrived.

"The target has entered the building! The target has entered the building!"

Kuroda Koji immediately took over the command: "Evacuate the crowd! Isolate that building, and do not attack without my order!"

The news soon reached Scott's team, but they did not receive any orders to go out.

"Derek? Don't we need to take action?" Xia Chuan asked immediately.

"Howard has already gone with his men," Derek replied.

The scene of the incident was not far from Akasaka headquarters and Tokyo Watch headquarters. A large number of reinforcements quickly arrived there, and two armed helicopters also arrived, but the trapped alien did not take any action. Because of Kuroda Koji's order, Akasaka did not take any action either, but just kept an eye on all the exits to make sure that he did not escape in the chaos.

Howard and others quickly arrived at the place fully armed.

"We are taking over here now. To avoid accidental injuries, you must retreat immediately!" he said immediately, and before Akasaka's on-site commander could react, he had already rushed in with his men.

Gunshots and explosions soon rang out in the shopping mall. When Kuroda Koji arrived more than a minute later, all the glass on the east side of the shopping mall had been shattered by the explosion, and black smoke and flames were also coming out from that area.

"Should we go in for reinforcements?"

"Didn't they tell us to retreat?" Kuroda Koji felt vaguely uneasy, but he didn't know why.

A violent explosion sounded again, and this time, part of the building even collapsed.

Such a scene made the Akasaka members guarding nearby feel a little uneasy, but after a few minutes, the gunshots and explosions suddenly stopped.

Then Howard walked out slowly with his men.

No one is missing.

"It's already been solved." He said to Kuroda Koji casually. "You guys go in and finish it."

"The other person's body?"

"It's blown to pieces."

Chapter 190 Prophecy?

"Is there really that guy's body at the scene?" Xia Chuan asked Baba Hao and others through the crow.

"The scene is littered with body parts. Those guys killed all the hostages. Now there is no way to confirm how many dead people there are, let alone their identities." Akasaka members of the "Skeleton Faction" who are on the front lines at the scene also feel suspicious.

There were no aliens in the so-called "Howard Group", but despite the huge commotion in the shopping mall, none of the eight of them died, and not even a single one was seriously injured. This made people wonder whether they were here to deal with the alien that Xia Chuan had discovered, or to deal with the witnesses who had fabricated evidence that he was "dead" and cover up his whereabouts.

"Is he from the Watchers? But why would they do this? Even if he came to Tokyo to conduct a secret investigation undercover, since his identity has been exposed, wouldn't it be enough for him to reveal his identity in time? Why would he get away in this way?"

Baba Hiroshi and others were totally unable to understand this, but Xia Chuan had some vague guesses, but further confirmation was needed.

"Thank you for your hard work." He said to Baba Hao and others, and asked Ling Ya to leave a few bronze mirrors.

This is both a reward for the actions they have taken and a way to test them.

His spiritual energy is on each bronze mirror. Before the spiritual energy is consumed or absorbed, he can switch his mind at any time to see what they are doing and saying.

Although this was not his original intention, many upper-class people in Japan had bought bronze mirrors from the Skeleton Shrine and wore them to protect themselves. Now, many people's secrets were in his hands, and it would be very easy for him to take their lives.

In a sense, these bronze mirrors that have the ability to resist evil spirits are essentially the same as the mobile phones Derek gave him. The only difference is that the Watcher uses technical means to monitor his actions and his location, and there are people doing this every minute and every second. All the content will be immediately uploaded to the Tokyo Watcher's database to ensure that nothing is missed. On his side, he needs to take the initiative to find the corresponding object and invest his divine thoughts into it.

If he doesn't take action, he won't get the information.

Xia Chuan continued to track the four people's actions. They seemed to be disturbed. They all changed their residences and stopped communicating with each other. They should have switched to using encrypted mobile phones and the Internet to communicate. However, their actions did not stop completely. Xia Chuan noticed that they spent a lot of time monitoring and investigating new and old religions of a certain scale scattered throughout Tokyo, and also investigated those shrines and temples that were said to have a certain spirituality.

While he was tracking these people, he unexpectedly saw one of the outliers in Howard's group, who was being led by the head of the Zonglian to look around in a shrine.

The two sides did not speak, and there was not even eye contact, but Xia Chuan could clearly feel that there must be some kind of connection between them.

Howard's team was conducting investigations in the open within Watchmen, while these guys were hiding in the dark and conducting investigations through abnormal channels.

But why religion?

If they suspected the Skeleton Society, why didn't they take action and investigate directly at the shrine?

Xiachuan repeatedly recalled his recent actions. Apart from using the power of Kobori and Rokuko, there should be nothing related to the Xiachuan Society. If they started investigating religion because of this, why did they ignore Chiyu Moriyama, who was obviously easier to approach and more suspicious?

He soon began to track the actions of Howard's group. Their base was also in the Imperial Palace, and many of their actions passed through Akasaka, so it was much easier to track their movements.

With the secret assistance of insiders such as Baba Hiroshi, Xiachuan quickly figured out their movements.

After arriving in Tokyo, these people only did three things.

He investigated dozens of religions, intervened in Akasaka's tracking investigation of the Styx Society, and then there was the previous operation.

The death of T seemed to be meaningless to them, and they did not even go to Yokosuka, nor did they go to the residences of Natsukawa and Chiyu Moriyama to investigate the cause of death of the two T's attendants. This was originally what Natsukawa thought was the most likely link to go wrong, and he had even made the worst plan for it.

The previous action should have been a temporary action that had to be taken because the aliens who were carrying out a covert operation were "accidentally discovered". Therefore, Howard and his group came to Tokyo with two intentions: to investigate Tokyo's religion and to track down the Styx Society.

Totally illogical.

The only possibility Xia Chuan could think of for the Watchers to point the finger at religion was that they had used the prophecy props, but if that was the case, they should have known the whole truth. Why would they need to conduct an investigation like they are doing now?

"Asakawa Manabu, don't you have an encrypted phone? Dial a number for me."

The number that Long Qingting gave him was not an empty number, but it was not a number that someone would answer immediately. Later that day, he called back and Xia Chuan spoke to him through the crow.

"It's really rare. You probably didn't call me to reminisce about the past. So, is there anything you need my help with?"

This straightforward approach made Xia Chuan feel very comfortable, but it probably also meant that if Long Qingting also asked him for help at some point in the future, he would have to respond with the same attitude, right?

"How much do you know about prophecy gadgets?"

"Prophecy prop?" Long Qingting asked. "You must have heard this from someone with a Western background, right? This kind of thing is very tricky and very difficult to get."

"I don't want to get one, but I want to know the information related to it."

"Do you think someone is using this to find out about you?" Long Qingting asked immediately. "Watchers? Why did they suddenly... Wait, did you kill VIP T?"

"How much do you know about this kind of thing?" Xia Chuan did not respond to his question directly, but asked again.

With his ability and status, he should know much more than Derek, right?

"I used it once to protect someone else." Long Qingting said. "Although I didn't get any information directly from them, I roughly guessed some rules for using them."

Chapter 191 Prophecy? (2)

"First, there is no way to use this kind of magic weapon out of nothing. It's like a curse. You must at least have something that is related to the object you want to spy on. Secondly, the farther the distance, the more vague the result. Therefore, in order to obtain accurate results, you often have to bring the magic weapon very close to the object to use it. This is why they and the people who use them are easy targets." Long Qingting said. "Otherwise, everyone will definitely only use them in the safest place."

“Third, there is a price to pay for spying on anything, and the greater the price, the more precise the results obtained.”

"You have to pay the price first?" Xia Chuan was a little surprised.

"At least that was the case with the magic weapon I saw. In order to obtain accurate information, the man dug out his own eyes as a price." Long Qingting sighed slightly. "Leaking the secrets will inevitably lead to five disadvantages and three shortcomings. Such a price is not something that everyone can accept calmly."

"anything else?"

"If the target of the spying is higher in cultivation than the person using the magic weapon, then the spying process will definitely arouse the other party's vigilance, and sometimes it may even backfire. Therefore, choosing the right target and asking the most appropriate questions are often the key to success. If the questions are right and the target is right, sometimes it only takes a small price to obtain important information." Long Qingting said. "Are you asking me this because you feel that someone is spying on you?"

Feeling of prying eyes?

Xia Chuan recalled carefully and confirmed that it had never happened recently.

So, if the Watchers really did secretly bring a prophecy item to Tokyo for use, it is very likely that the person they asked was not themselves.

Could it be the remains of Lu Ke and Shengli's bodies? Or was it the rotten tentacles of Paul that he had handed over in Guam?

Considering the strange current situation of the Watchers' actions, Xia Chuan had to reasonably guess that what they used were most likely the remains of Lu Ke's body.

But maybe they asked the wrong questions. They did not get direct information about Kawaguchi Rena, but vague information about the Kasumigawa-kai, which was highly related to Kawaguchi Rena. So, they adopted the current method to look for clues related to religion everywhere?

"Thank you very much. I owe you one."

"I haven't seen you for a few months, and you've already made it this far." Long Qingting said. "Would you like to hear my advice?"

"Please say."

"Don't be too impatient." Long Qingting said. "Some things can only achieve the greatest results after a thorough planning, and under the current situation of the world, these things are never simple. I originally thought that you would need more time to reach this step... If you need, I can introduce you to the deputy director of the Special Forces Office, but the Cheka may be more suitable for you.

Daxia's external behavior has always been too introverted, too particular about having a legitimate reason and winning people over with virtue. The current heads of the Special Welfare Office are all guys who are only interested in stability. Unless there are very special circumstances, it is very difficult to get them to change the policy they have maintained for many years.

As for the Cheka, to be honest, sometimes even I feel that they are too hasty and reckless. You can try to contact them, and you may get unexpected results. "

"Who should I look for?" Xia Chuan was slightly tempted.

"Do you still remember the original werewolf?" Long Qingting asked. "I still remember her scent. If you need me, I can find an excuse to go to the northeast and try to find her. Although I can't say that she and I had a very pleasant experience before, we did get to know each other. They should be very interested in an organization that can deal with important members of the Watchers."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Xia Chuan said.

Long Qingting must also remember his breath clearly, so would he spy on him when he has nothing better to do?

Will there be some kind of limit to his abilities, or will there be some kind of price to pay?

"Reina, you must leave Tokyo immediately." After hanging up the phone, Natsukawa made a decision immediately.

Although he didn't know if it would work, based on the existing information, temporarily separating her from the Kasumigawa Society might be the only way he could do to remedy the situation.

In fact, it is better to separate Asakawa Manabu. Given the relationship between him and Kawaguchi Reina, if the other party really uses Luke's body as a medium to find information related to Kawaguchi Reina, it is very likely that they will find it on him. At this moment, there may be many hackers desperately tracking his information in the invisible network world.

However, he knew so much that Xia Chuan was afraid to let him leave Tokyo and out of his control.

"Eh? God?" Kawaguchi Reina felt like she was going crazy after hearing this order without any reason or context. "Leave Tokyo?"

"Have you had any special feelings recently, as if someone is watching you from somewhere?"

Kawaguchi Rena thought about it carefully. Apart from some shrine maidens secretly observing her and Aoki Yui's positions and trying to sneak out, there didn't seem to be the situation that the God said.

"No, it's best." Xia Chuan thought it was probably because she was too weak. "It's very likely that the other party has targeted you in some way, so you have to leave the sect temporarily. I will always keep an eye on you and protect you..."

When he said this, he suddenly realized that if he let Kawaguchi Rena leave, he actually did not have the reliable power to protect her.

Letting her leave was to prevent more information from being discovered, but if that was the case, neither the Skeleton Society nor the Kiryu Group could use their power, otherwise, such an action would be completely meaningless.
