From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

Among the departments Howard mentioned, there were quite a few departments where members from the list that Baba Hao showed to Xia Chuan were located. Of course, there were also many departments that were not related and might be the departments where the spies who were secretly in contact with the Styx Society were located.

Tokyo Watch is also conducting an internal investigation, but surprisingly, the top priority is not Scott's team, but those who once worked under the important figure M.

The Watchers seem to believe that M's ties with the Skeleton Society are too close, and that the Skeleton Society once followed M's activities, possibly contacting and influencing a certain number of people. There is even a possibility that some people have been controlled or even directly replaced.

The Scott team was of course also within the scope of the investigation, however, the accident caused by Chisuke Moriyama accidentally killing the subordinates of key figure T was too sudden for the Watchers, as Natsukawa took decisive action a few hours later, and key figure T was killed by three Shikigami before he could report any definite information. The Watchers headquarters only knew that he was investigating the Tokyo Watchers internally before his death, and did not know who his target was.

Unfortunately, Hiroshi Kamiya's identity has been exposed.

"Is it another important person who uses and guards the prophecy item?"

Xia Chuan asked this question repeatedly, but Howard's answer was always the same: "I really don't know. My level is too low and I am not qualified to obtain such important information. Please, kill me!"

Howard's bones are actually very strong, but willpower is like a flood blocked by a dam. Once it leaks out, it is difficult to get it back.

Xia Chuan originally wanted to kill him, but this man was already useless. Being kidnapped in public and out of contact for two hours was enough to make his own organization have many ideas. Letting him go back alive after being tortured to the point of losing his courage, whether he was interrogated as a traitor or even killed directly, or luckily survived, might be more beneficial to Xia Chuan.

So Xia Chuan simply broke his legs, inflicted all kinds of wounds on his body, and then dumped him on the side of the road.

"You should be found soon," he said to Howard. "Such injuries should be enough to prove your persistence. However, if you are sent to the hospital, you will definitely die. The only way to survive is to be sent to the Bone Shrine. Therefore, your life is no longer in my hands, but in your own hands and those of your organization. I wish you good luck."

"By the way." He paused before leaving and added, "If you survive, there is one thing you can tell me: some people and things may seem like weaknesses at first glance, but they are actually reverse scales. Before taking action, consider the consequences carefully."

It was already daybreak, and although there were not many pedestrians on the street, there were enough people to notice something strange about the two of them, and someone screamed.

Xia Chuan simply escaped underground and left without caring about his life or death.

Kentaro Sato had been driving for more than two hours. They stopped for a while at a gas station. Kentaro Sato's wife came out and filled the car with gas with cash and bought some food and water. They rested here for a while and then left before the police arrived.

Manabu Asakawa has confirmed through the police system that wanted warrants have been issued for more than a dozen people including Kentaro Sato, Yui Aoki, Rena Kawaguchi, etc. Hiroshi Kamiya and Chisuke Moriyama are also wanted.

Most of the wanted people are the core members of the sect who have frequent contact with Kentaro Sato on a daily basis. Kentaro Sato's wife has also been wanted, which further proves that the other party has identified the target through Kentaro Sato. If their car is stopped by the police checkpoint, everyone in the car will definitely be recognized immediately.

In this case, the best option is to find a place to hide. However, the opponent is likely to continue using the prophecy props on Sato, and it is very likely that they will soon find their location. In order to prevent the opponent from making a move, they cannot leave the densely populated area and can only move continuously within the Tokyo area.

Fortunately, Kobori has returned to Yui, which greatly increases their chances of survival even if they are really discovered.

"Let's find a place to rest first." Xia Chuan quickly caught up with them, but did not run directly to their car. Instead, he kept moving while observing the situation around them.

Sato and his wife were already exhausted. Although their bodies were much stronger than ordinary people after being treated by Natsukawa, they had been in a state of high tension for so long that it was beyond their ability to bear.

Kentaro Sato parked the car on the side of the road, feeling relieved, and leaned back in the seat to rest.

"Yui, are you okay?" Natsukawa kept his eye on the surrounding area of ​​several square kilometers, while also paying attention to the situation on Moriyama Chiyu's side.

"I'm fine." Aoki Yui shook her head slightly. "Others..."

"The Watchers shouldn't be so idle as to target them." Xia Chuan comforted her, but he was not sure in his heart.

In fact, it's entirely possible that they would do that.

The cost of using the prophecy props to investigate these sect backbones is definitely not high, and Xia Chuan really does not have the energy to pay attention to so many people. If they are really caught, the secrets of the entire sect will most likely be completely exposed.

They don't know much information about specific believers, but as the backbone of the sect, they always know more people and more secret missionary locations than ordinary believers, and are likely to implicate more people.

This situation really made Xia Chuan very upset.

The Watchers probably won't be so crazy as to kill all the believers outright, but they will most likely start a frantic hunt for the followers of the Xiachuan Society.

When he thought of this possibility, Xia Chuan felt that he could not help but want to cause trouble.

There are only so many police officers in Tokyo, only so many front-line personnel in Akasaka, and even fewer people in Tokyo Watch.

If they really start doing that, how about he escalate his actions as well?

Kill all the pilots and fighters in the military bases around Tokyo? Sink all the ships in Yokosuka? Or simply wipe out all the bases of Tokyo Watch that he knew of?

In that case, what actions will the Watchers take in response?

Will we destroy Tokyo with nuclear weapons?

The more than 20 million people on this land were actually Xiachuan's hostages. However, given the indifference that the Watchers had always shown towards the lives of the colonial people, he really couldn't be 100% sure that they would not do such a cruel thing.

They have already put tactical nuclear weapons on alert in Guam, so how can we guarantee that they won't do the same in Tokyo?

"Drive to the port area." He suddenly said to Kentaro Sato.

"Huh?" This sentence surprised Kentaro Sato.

Isn't that place too close to Akasaka Headquarters and Watcher Headquarters? Isn't this just delivering it to your doorstep?

"Go find a place to rest near the Lucia Embassy or the Daxia Embassy." Xia Chuan continued.

He suddenly understood why the Cheka chose to hide in Roppongi when it was causing trouble.

It's not that the most dangerous place is the safest, but that the area is densely populated with embassies of various countries, business centers, headquarters of large companies, and high-end apartments. There are more and more important hostages available, which is enough to make the watchers think more before using weapons of mass destruction.

As long as the Watchers dare not use weapons of mass destruction, even if they are discovered, Kobori's ability after becoming a Great Tengu should be enough to resist for a long time. And that time is enough for Xiachuan to bleed the Watchers.

"But we don't have that over there..." Sato said cautiously.

"It's okay, go over first, I'll find an empty house for you that can be used." Xia Chuan said.

Kentaro Sato did not dare to question Natsukawa's decision. He quickly started the car and continued to drive towards his destination under Natsukawa's command, bypassing the roadblocks that were scattered everywhere.

Xiachuan quickly found a nice-looking high-end apartment near the Lucia Embassy through Lingyao.

The group quickly parked their car in an underground parking lot nearby, and then, under Xia Chuan's command, they walked into the house, avoiding patrolling police and surveillance cameras.

The security guard fell asleep and the surveillance was temporarily turned off. The three of them quickly took the elevator upstairs and then entered one of the houses.

There was dust on the table and the refrigerator was empty, so the owner must have not been back for some time.

Things like door locks are almost non-existent for someone like Xia Chuan.

"Have a good rest." Xia Chuan looked at the photo of the owner and said to them. "I'll go buy you some food and be back soon."

Chapter 201: Turning against guests

"Mr. Morimoto, you're back?" The security guard looked at Xiachuan in surprise.

"Well, I came back early because of something." Xia Chuan, who looked like the owner of the house, answered simply and walked straight into the elevator.

"I bought some water, food, and daily necessities." He put the things on the dining table. "We'll just have to deal with it for now."

"Thank you for your hard work." Kentaro Sato and his wife bowed hurriedly.

"You probably have to live here for the time being. Don't leave and definitely don't go to the window," Xia Chuan said.

He explained to them in detail how Akasaka and the Watchers would attack in this environment. Using sniper rifles was inevitable, and it would be very covert and difficult to observe directly through the Crow's perspective, so it was quite dangerous to get close to the window.

"I will open the window a crack, but you must not open the curtains. If you hear the roar of the engine, run to the corridor immediately and let Kobori protect you. Don't have any worries or hesitations." He said to Yui Aoki.

Given the bad character of Crow God Kobori, killing people would not be difficult for it, so what Natsukawa said was actually directed at Aoki Yui.

"Now it has come to a point of life and death. In order to get out of this predicament, I must take positive action, so I may not be able to protect you for a long time. When I leave, the only one you can rely on is Kobori, so there is absolutely no room for any hesitation or delay, Yui, do you understand?"

Yui Aoki bit her lower lip lightly and nodded silently.

"Okay, let's get some sleep," Xia Chuan said. "Even if I leave, I will keep an eye on the situation around this house. Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Kentaro Sato actually wanted to ask about things related to the sect. After all, that was the business he founded, and his feelings for it must be much stronger than Natsukawa's. But seeing Natsukawa's anxious look, he didn't dare to disturb Natsukawa.

"You don't have to worry about the sect for now." Fortunately, Xia Chuan was not unable to guess his thoughts. "No matter what you do now, it will be useless. On the contrary, it may expose more people. Believe in the preparations you made before. It will only take a few days. They should be able to handle it. Once I solve the prophecy prop, everything will be back on track."

"Yes!" Sato Kentaro nodded hastily. "Thank you for your trouble."

Xia Chuan shook his head, looked at the surrounding environment, and began to move the furnishings and furniture in the room to eliminate any possible hidden dangers.

Kobori was eating the nuts that Yui bought from him at the dining table, looking very proud.

"I'll leave it all to you. Don't let me down." Xia Chuan grabbed it and gently combed its feathers with his hands.

"How annoying! I'm not a cat!" Kobori spread his wings and struggled, saying loudly. "Don't worry! I can't say how long I can handle it, but at least I can wait for you to come back."

"Then I'm relieved." Xia Chuan looked at Aoki Yui and smiled, and gently stroked her hair. "Sorry, I will solve the problem as soon as possible."

"Natsukawa-kun, actually, I..." Aoki Yui wanted him to stop thinking about her all the time, but at this time, Natsukawa used the earth escape technique to leave the room directly.

"Lord God?"

Kana Nomiya was sitting in the main shrine, reading a book while watching her sister playing with the shikigami in the yard. Suddenly, she felt something was wrong. When she looked up, she saw a strange man suddenly appear in front of the shrine.

She stood up in surprise, but the temperament of this man made her feel inexplicably familiar, so she asked hesitantly in a low voice: "Lord Hailin?"

"It's me." Xia Chuan nodded. "For some reason, I have to meet you this way. Don't alarm them, and listen to me carefully."

What Natsukawa told her caused a storm in Nomiya Kana's heart, which made it difficult for her to accept it.

But does she have the power to choose?

"I...what should we do?"

"Everything is as usual," Xiachuan said. "Hold the auction as usual, and treat the wounded sent by Akasaka as usual. The only difference is that you should not leave the shrine and be prepared. If you are attacked, do nothing but protect yourself and surrender to them immediately."

"What if... they don't accept surrender?" Kana Nomiya asked cautiously.

"That won't happen," Xia Chuan said. "A lot of things will happen in Tokyo, and they can't block the only channel of communication. The calmer and more confident you are, the safer you will be."

"So, Lord Hailin, what should we do if they come to us? Should I convey anything to them?" asked Kana Nomiya.

"Don't push the limit, don't force us to make a more drastic response." Xia Chuan replied. "It's not the power of the Watchers that has limited the Skeleton Society's level of action, but the Skeleton Society's own philosophy. If something is broken, then we don't know what will happen next. We can only guarantee that at that time, the Watchers will never be immune."

"Second sister, a helicopter is coming!" Nomiya Wakana suddenly rushed in excitedly. Nomiya Kana turned around and found that the God had disappeared.

Was Howard finally sent here?

“Are there any new police actions?”

"Apart from continuing to set up roadblocks and checkpoints, there are no new actions," said Manabu Asakawa.

"What about the targeted area?" Xia Chuan continued to ask.

"All of Tokyo, including airports, seaports, train stations, and subway stations, but the focus is still on the Adachi Ward area."

Did they not know Sato Kentaro's new position yet? Or were they deliberately trying to paralyze themselves in this way?

Xia Chuan frowned again.

At this moment, he finally understood the dilemma that important person J had faced.

You have the power to destroy everything, but because you don't know where the enemy is hiding or where they will attack, you can only passively take the beating.

In a battle between supernatural forces, perhaps the party hiding in the shadows will always have complete initiative and always have the right to fire first.

No wonder the prophecy props become the most important and most watched targets in war. In wars among ordinary people, radars are definitely one of the top priorities.

How to do?

Howard's interrogation had already told him that the guy who sneaked into Tokyo with the prophecy prop this time was completely different from the important person J. Even if he created more trouble, he couldn't stop them from taking action. Even if he arrested the important person J, he didn't even know they existed, so there was no way he could stop them.

Should I take the initiative to find important person J and negotiate with the Watcher headquarters through him?

Or, should you create a bigger incident, prove your ability, and then do this?

Why not take this opportunity to make your intentions known to them?

But, given the current situation, is it possible for the Watchers to accept it?

The party that actively attempts to negotiate will certainly appear weak and lose the initiative, and they will also know that their actions at this moment have touched upon the part that the Skeleton Society is most concerned about. Whether they regard this as a weakness or a reverse scale, they will definitely continue their mission before he has dealt with this group of people.

can not be like this.

However, if the incident is allowed to escalate indefinitely, what will be the final result?

Countless thoughts began to turn around in his mind again.

What can I do?

"Paul!"

"Master?" Octopus Paul sounded like he was in a good mood, but Xia Chuan had no choice but to end his vacation.

"Go to Hawaii right now!" Xia Chuan said. "Wait for my order when you get there."

"What happened? I'll leave right away." Paul said immediately.

After all, one's own shikigami is more trustworthy.
