From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

Chapter 203

The explosion and shock wave temporarily suppressed the fire, and the firebirds scattered in the sky quickly disappeared due to the rapid consumption of oxygen, but what really worked were the fire-extinguishing bombs that arrived later.

This thing is obviously not used to put out fires in busy urban areas, but it is very appropriate to use it at a moment like this.

Anloses' body was repeatedly ravaged by bombs, shells, and various long-range weapons, while the fire around him was suppressed by fire-extinguishing bombs. Those huge fire snakes lost control and began to devour the surrounding trees and buildings aimlessly, and were soon destroyed by fire-extinguishing bombs and Xia Chuan who had escaped from the artillery fire coverage area in time.

The power that Anrose gained from the fire quickly faded after the fire was suppressed.

"You will definitely... us..." Xia Chuan only heard his last roar from afar, but was unable to hear anything else in the deafening explosion.

The saturation attack lasted for a full fifteen minutes before it ended. The area on the west side of the Imperial Palace where they were had completely turned into ruins, and even the area near Hanzomon had been reduced to rubble. Fire trucks and ambulances arrived one after another nearly half an hour after the shelling stopped, and began to control the fire and rescue the wounded. However, because Anroses's clone had been eliminated, this task was no longer highly dangerous.

At this time, Xiachuan had returned to the Imperial Palace, which served as the headquarters of the Tokyo Watch. This building, which had just been restored, had suffered serious damage. Although the main structure was preserved thanks to the fire sprinkler system, only the main structure was left.

He found Koji Kuroda and Derek Scott in the ruins. Both of them had suffered severe burns and their internal bodies were severely damaged by the sonic attack. They were dying.

Xia Chuan then rescued them.

Derek looked at the ruins around him with mixed feelings and said nothing. After Kuroda Koji regained consciousness, he bowed deeply to him in the ruins: "Thank you... Thank you very much!"

The survivors of Akasaka and Tokyo Watch would naturally tell them what happened. Natsukawa waved his hand and disappeared from in front of them.

He stood on the roof of a building outside Hanzomon that luckily escaped the fire, and watched the people working hard to reduce the disaster and treat the wounded below him, feeling a little sad.

Before Chiyu Moriyama could rush over to reunite with Yui and the others, the situation has already become what it is now. The development of things is really unpredictable.

The prophecy item and the person who controls it are still hiding somewhere in Tokyo. However, since both Personnel J and the Tokyo Watch headquarters have disappeared, it will be difficult for them to play a role through official forces for a long time to come.

Derek is not qualified to command Kuroda Koji. Before the Watcher headquarters responds to what is happening here and sends a formal successor, Kuroda Koji's role will become particularly important. Xiachuan is looking forward to this result.

Even without mentioning the deal between Kuroda Koji and the Skeleton Shrine, Natsukawa felt that this man's attitude towards aliens and Tokyo Watchers was inconsistent with his public performance, and it was worth waiting and watching.

The relationship has been completely torn apart, but on the surface, Tokyo is still the territory of the United States and the Watchers. What will they do?

"Reina, where are you guys?"

"Hmm? Lord God, it should be on the way to Sapporo, right?" Kawaguchi Rena was awakened from her daze and responded hurriedly.

"Tell Natasha that I have killed the important person J as agreed." Xia Chuan said. "It's up to them now."

"Yes. Huh?" Kawaguchi Rena exclaimed in surprise.

If the Cheka agents were not idlers, they would have known the news at the latest after arriving in Sapporo. Instead of waiting until that moment, it would be better to tell them now, which might achieve greater results.

Sure enough, Kawaguchi Rena soon relayed Natasha's questions, and Natsukawa picked out what he could tell them and briefly told them the general process of the matter.

"What does the Cheka know about the Church of Life and Anroses?" He also took this opportunity to ask Natasha a question.

However, the answer to this question was not obtained until a few hours later. By that time, the werewolf and the miko had safely entered the Russian naval port in Sapporo and finally had the opportunity to obtain more intelligence.

"The Life Church is one of the few religions that has been approved by the Watchers to preach openly in Central America. There are about 800,000 core believers and more than 20 million pan-believers. The top leaders of the Life Church have close ties with the Watchers. Their pastors are mainly active in South America and Africa. It is one of the most important peripheral organizations of the Watchers." Natasha answered Xia Chuan's question through Kawaguchi Rena. "But we have never heard of the name Anloses. Is he related to the Life Church?"

"He is most likely the god worshipped by the Church of Life," Xia Chuan replied. "He could also be an alias for an important figure."

"This is impossible!" Natasha said in surprise. "The joint statement of all countries after the war clearly stated... Damn it! Those bastards of the Watchers have never abided by any agreement! What on earth do they want to do?"

Xia Chuan had some vague guesses.

He didn't know what kind of existence the key members of the Watchers were. The impression that the people of Akasaka and Tokyo Watchers had given him before was that the key members were super soldiers created through some kind of scientific transformation, so they should be human beings.

But what happened to important officer J can be said to have completely overturned Xiachuan's inherent impression of important officers.

The way he turned into a ball of meat was almost the same as that of the previous pastor of the Church of Life. Based on Xia Chuan's understanding of J, that guy was definitely not someone who would willingly do that.

Sacrifice yourself? Not happening!

The priests of the Church of Life were obviously puppets and vessels of Anroses. Although the specific rules and conditions were unknown, he could obviously take over the control of their bodies directly at certain times.

But why did the same thing happen to member J?

Could it be that he is nothing more than a puppet of Anroses, or some similar being?

Is the secret behind the so-called scientific transformation that the Watchers have undergone really science?

Why didn't the same thing happen to the important officials K and T who were killed before and the important official P who was almost killed by him?

Are they different from J, or are they not able to do so for some reason?

When Agent T turned into a crystal-like monster before dying, was it based on the same principle? Does this mean that the power or god behind him is different from that behind Agent J?

Anloses's first letter is A. Is he the same person as Important Person A?

If so, was he an alien from the beginning, or after becoming the top existence of the Watchers, he was unwilling to continue to be a human being, growing old, getting sick and dying like ordinary people, so he chose to become a god?

The Cheka used werewolves on a large scale, so what kind of power was supporting them?

What about the Daxia Special Case Management Bureau?

The so-called success of human beings in expelling aliens and becoming the masters of this world, is this reality or a grand lie carefully designed to satisfy people's wishes?

The previous questions have not been fully answered yet, and new questions have come like a tide, which is simply unbearable.

Xia Chuan quickly decided not to let himself be consumed by these things. It would be good to get answers, but it didn't matter if he didn't know those that were not directly related to him.

It was enough for him to understand that he should know those truths.

"What are you going to do?" he then asked through Rena Kawaguchi.

"Since you have already fulfilled your promise ahead of time," Natasha replied as a matter of course. "We will also speed up the process. We will enter Tokyo tomorrow at the latest!"

"Then keep in touch." Xiachuan said, and then after reminding Kawaguchi Rena to be careful, he withdrew his spiritual thoughts.

He let the crows go again. Another advantage of the falling out was that he no longer had to be restricted in many things. It was extremely comfortable.

He saw Derek and several other Tokyo Watch officers dealing with the aftermath of the fire, while Kuroda Koji left the Imperial Palace by car.

He immediately followed and got in the car before it drove into the Akasaka headquarters.

A person suddenly appeared in the car, and the driver's hand shook and he almost hit the car next to him. However, after a moment of tension, Kuroda Koji immediately calmed down.

"Kamiya-san, we..."

"Let's talk about it in the underground parking lot." Xia Chuan replied.

The car quickly drove into the underground parking lot of the Akasaka headquarters building. Kuroda Koji immediately asked the driver and his assistant to leave, and at the same time asked the guards to park their car far away in other parking spaces more than ten meters away, and asked them to stand guard in the surroundings to prevent anyone from breaking in.

When all this was in place, he spoke again: "Kamiya-san, I don't know you?"

"I came here specifically to ask for your opinion," Xia Chuan said. "What are you going to do in the next period of time?"

Kuroda Koji was silent for a moment, then asked, "Kamiya-san, before I answer, can you let me know who you are?"

"My code name is Haishan." Xiachuan answered casually.

Where there are mountains, there are valleys. Anyway, there is no shortage of this vest.

"Master Mukuyama." Kuroda Koji nodded immediately. "Akasaka's cooperation with the Mukukai will not change, at least not while I can still control the situation. I'm very sorry, but this is the only thing I can guarantee."

"You should have seen the guy, and how J died. What do you think?"

Kuroda Koji fell silent again, and after a long while he answered: "My opinion is not important. Lord Kaiyama, Akasaka's role in this fight is minimal. The only thing we can do is to try our best to reduce the damage caused by this fight to Tokyo and the people of Neon. This is Akasaka's mission all along, nothing more."

"You also saw the fire today. Do you think they care about Tokyo and the people of Tokyo?" Xia Chuan asked again.

"Then what else can we do?" Kuroda Koji sighed. "Master Haishan, please tell me directly, what do you expect us to do? I believe that with your wisdom, you will be able to show us a way out."

"The Skeleton Society's philosophy has never changed. If Akasaka really only wants to protect Tokyo as you said, then you should be more active and proactive in helping us find a way to make the Watchers accept this result."

Kuroda Koji smiled bitterly.

"Aren't Baba Hiroshi and the others enough?" He whispered after a moment. "Some things are not necessarily better at higher levels. The right people doing the right things may have better results."

Sure enough!

"The prophecy item is also a threat to you." Xiachuan said. "If you don't deal with it, the fire will soon spread to Akasaka."

"As long as conditions permit, we won't do anything." Kuroda Koji said. "Lord Mukuyama, this is the limit of what I can do. Akasaka must survive first, and then there are other possibilities."

"Keep in touch." Natsukawa nodded. This should be the limit of Kuroda Koji.

However, he must be hiding something.

Take your time to explore.

He quickly left the Akasaka headquarters, and while walking back, he was also paying attention to the developments in several places.

The wanted warrants for them still exist, but because of the shocking incident at the Imperial Palace, a large number of police forces have been transferred to those places, and many roadblocks and checkpoints have been lifted. The police forces that were originally searching for the wanted core members of the Kasumigawa-kai in Adachi District have also been transferred to maintain stability and reassure the people, and the search operation has actually stopped.

The internal investigation against Baba Hiroshi and others had to be ended because of the incident at the Imperial Palace. Kuroda Mitsurugi transferred a large number of manpower to protect Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, the Five-sided Barrier and other places. At the same time, a large number of personnel were transferred to eliminate the impact of the Imperial Palace incident, making it impossible to continue this work and it had to be temporarily shelved.

Baba Hiroshi even quickly called Asakawa Manabu's secret number to report the latest situation, as well as many things that Natsukawa could not see through the crows.

The fire at the Imperial Palace and the bombing of the core area of ​​Tokyo brought quite serious consequences. Although Akasaka and Tokyo Watch immediately brought out the puppet family to hold a press conference and tried every means to eliminate the impact, but in such a peaceful era, it is difficult to find a reasonable excuse to explain such things. They can only push it to terrorists, which is simply not accepted and understood by the people.

The previous incident in Yokosuka where warships shelled residential areas had already caused panic among the people. What happened this time was more serious than before in terms of both consequences and severity.

Although major television stations, newspapers and portals have tried their best to guide the direction of public opinion, they could not completely cover up the facts, and large-scale protests soon took place. Large numbers of angry people appeared in front of the U.S. Embassy and U.S. military bases. Xiachuan didn't know if there was someone secretly pushing this behind the scenes. However, because of these incidents, Akasaka and the police were further tied up and could not do anything.

Xia Chuan never found the location of the prophecy props, but they also did not cause any visible consequences.

In such chaos, Natasha and Rena Kawaguchi finally returned to Tokyo.

Chapter 204 Psychic Medium

"We finally meet, Haibi."

Face to face in a normal way, Natasha's long legs simply make it hard to look anywhere else, let alone anything else.

Compared to her, the only thing that was worth looking at was Kawaguchi Reina standing next to her. She looked like a little girl.

Fortunately, in order to deal with this meeting, Xia Chuan deliberately created an image of a shriveled old man hidden under a bamboo hat and a cloth mask. The werewolf should not be able to tell where his eyes were directed.

"You've come a long way, thank you for your hard work." Xia Chuan said in an old voice.

Kawaguchi Reina couldn't help but turn her head to the side and curl her lips, but Natsukawa's use of this image was also a way of expressing a certain attitude, so she was actually quite happy in her heart.

"It's okay. It went much more smoothly than I expected." Natasha said carefreely.

Kawaguchi Rena is still on the wanted list, but because of the "no action" policy promised by Kuroda Mitsui, they did not encounter too much difficulty along the way. Except that they could not take planes or high-speed trains and had to drive all the way here, which delayed them for half a day, they did not encounter any problems.

"So, what's the next plan?" Xia Chuan asked.

"Of course we have to find them as soon as possible!" The werewolf answered without hesitation, and then sighed again. "Why did you move so quickly? Although you did a good job, you even killed J. They won't be scared away, right?"

Xia Chuan had certainly considered this problem, but only one of Anloses' clones was killed, and the Watchers lost an important figure who had already been decided to be abandoned by them. Such a loss should not be enough to make them abandon their original plan and flee in a hurry.

Anroses showed an unusual interest in him, and Xiachuan believed that they would not leave Tokyo easily before the secrets of the Skeleton Society were completely uncovered.

Kentaro Sato, Yui Aoki, and Chisuke Moriyama are still staying in the house next to the Lucia Embassy, ​​but because Akasaka quietly relaxed his pursuit of them, Kentaro Sato has reconnected with the core members of the sect, allowing the Kasumigawa-kai, which was thrown into chaos due to a sudden fire at its headquarters and the sudden disappearance of top leaders, to regain its backbone.

Low-key operations are of course the inevitable choice. All those who have been exposed and are wanted will temporarily cut off their ties with other people, hide in various places, and wait for the crisis to pass.

Natsukawa believed that the Watchers should have sent at least one important person over, and he was the one who was protecting and using the prophecy item. However, two days had passed, and they had not taken any clear actions regarding the destruction of the Tokyo Watchers' headquarters or the sudden anti-Rice wave. They had not even tried to contact Kuroda Koji again to gain control of the official power in Tokyo. This abnormality made Natsukawa anxious again.

Anything abnormal is a demon.

When it was absolutely impossible to do nothing, nothing happened. The only reasonable inference was that the other party was plotting a more deadly attack, and the only thing he could do was to attack before the other party, disrupt their plans, and regain the initiative.

The Cheka naturally also had its own information channels and secret bases in Tokyo. Natasha quickly took him to a Western restaurant. After entering the kitchen, they went down to the underground through the elevator hidden behind the freezer, and they met the Cheka members who came to Tokyo separately from Natasha and the others.

The one that caught Xia Chuan's attention the most was the only blind woman sitting there. She should not be very old, but half of her face had become stiff due to a stroke, and there were large red spots on it. Her body was hunched, and her hands were trembling slightly, as if she had symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

But she has stronger spiritual power than Natasha.

"She is the strongest psychic in the Far East, Vera Oktyabrskaya." Natasha introduced in a low voice, and then introduced Xia Chuan's identity to the other party.

Naturally, there is no etiquette like handshakes between aliens. Xia Chuan didn't know how to greet a blind man, but the other party nodded to him first and greeted him in Lucia.

"Nice to meet you." Xia Chuan then said in Neon language.

"Vera's identity and location must be kept strictly confidential." Natasha whispered. "If you hadn't killed J, she wouldn't have come here in person. Haisui, our sincerity should be enough, right?"

Xia Chuan finally understood how to find the prophecy item.

The only thing that can defeat magic is magic.

She showed up here probably just to let the Skeleton Society know that the Cheka had invested a lot in this matter. She soon left under the protection of the Cheka agents, and Natasha and Xiachuan also left the restaurant quickly.

"The medium of the Watchers must have similar circumstances. At least one of the following must be a physical disability, a serious illness, or an ugly appearance. The place where the prophecy props are used must be where Tokyo's spiritual energy naturally gathers. And the consequence of their frequent use of the prophecy props must be the disappearance and death of many people. If the bodies of the deceased are not destroyed, there must be obvious problems. These are the clues we should pay attention to." Natasha said.

"This kind of thing is always more beneficial to the party hiding in the dark. As long as we can find their traces, even if it's just the hair they left behind, the garbage they discarded, or the leftover food, we can find them. This is not easy, but we..."
