From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

The fire had already chased down from the upper level by then, and Paul kept summoning ice shields behind him to block the corridor to buy himself time, while constantly cutting the surrounding pipes and cables, and at the same time fleeing to the rear of the ship.

Occasionally, he would meet sailors and mechanics who had not had time to escape on the road. Paul no longer had the energy to kill them, but the flames chasing him did not care about that at all. They ignored the enemy and burned them all to death.

The figure finally caught up. His body seemed to have been completely transformed into flames, and there was almost no trace of a human being. The ice shield summoned by Paul was becoming increasingly unable to stop his forward speed, and the distance between the two was getting closer and closer.

"Go to hell!" The guy's voice was completely inhuman. He easily burned the other tentacle that Paul had cut off and rushed directly in front of it.

Xia Chuan was ready to accept the worst outcome, but at this moment, a large amount of smelly black liquid suddenly poured out of Paul's mouth. At first, they turned directly into corrosive steam and were even dried directly by the flames, but their quantity was too large and the distance between the two was too close. After a few seconds, the flames on Officer S began to weaken and go out. A large amount of corrosive and toxic liquid poured directly onto him, causing him to roar in pain.

The huge tentacle hit his body directly, knocking him backwards and hitting the cabin wall at the end of the corridor heavily, creating a huge dent.

"Paul?" Such a sudden change made Xia Chuan unbelievable, but the next second, the flames burst out again and completely engulfed Paul's body.

"Master, have I never sprayed you with ink before?" Paul asked at this moment.

"Is this the time to talk about this?" Xia Chuan simply didn't know what to say. At this moment, the board walls that were corroded by the corrosive steam were completely scrapped under the high temperature. The flames and high temperatures quickly spread around. The next moment, a violent explosion suddenly broke out on their side.

Ammunition depot?

It's hidden in such a deep place!

"Master, I'm sorry..." Paul's voice finally said.

The connection in the mind was suddenly interrupted, but the next moment, a strange feeling appeared again. Xia Chuan looked down at the back of his right hand, and the shadow of an octopus had appeared there.

"Stop talking nonsense and wake up quickly!" Xia Chuan yelled at it in his heart.

A few minutes later, there was a sudden voice on the phone.

"Mr. Haibi, it seems that I won this bet." The voice of Officer A was still very calm.

"Maybe." Xia Chuan said. "Then we'll talk next time."

The US military has so many bases that there are always places they cannot take care of.

"Wait a minute," said VIP A. "We have all fully demonstrated our strength and willingness, so let's have a frank chat next."

Chapter 214 Oral Agreement

Xia Chuan was a little surprised by the attitude of Agent A, but thinking about it the other way around, such a result was natural.

He didn't seem to have asked Derek how many important members the Watchers had, but judging from the existing information, there should be at least twenty-six, and there were also many substitutes waiting day and night to take up the positions.

Based on this logic, the number of important personnel is actually far greater than that of aircraft carriers. The death of one or two low-level important personnel is not really a serious blow to the Watcher, but sinking an aircraft carrier can really make the United States feel the pain.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Paul, at the cost of his own flesh, accomplished his mission of letting the watchers see the determination and ability of the bones.

"Okay, let's chat then," he said.

There was silence on the phone again.

The person who speaks first always loses momentum, but it is Xia Chuan who has to pay the overseas call charges. Besides, he is younger after all, and the strength of the Skeleton Society is actually weaker.

"Officer A, is your decision on Tokyo still the same as before?"

"What would the skeleton want? What can it give?" the person on the other end of the phone asked. "Only if I know this clearly can I answer this question."

Xia Chuan was silent for a moment.

The negotiations between them could not avoid these two issues, and he had discussed these two issues with M and Kuroda Koji before. The strange thing was that when they were asked again, he still found them equally difficult to answer.

"So, what can the Watcher give? What does it want?" he then asked in return.

"I thought we had reached a consensus to be more honest." said VIP A. "Shouldn't we skip this kind of temptation?"

"What we want has never changed. Didn't the officials stationed in Tokyo convey our demands before?"

"Has the Skeleton Society's ideas never changed?"

"We don't expect unrealistic results, and of course, we will never accept promises that are made with bad intentions," Xia Chuan replied. "It has been like this in the past, and it will remain so in the future."

"Unrealistic? Harbouring evil intentions?" VIP A seemed to laugh. "Tokyo is a special place, and it cannot be confused with other places. Moreover, will the Skeletons be willing to fully disclose their information to the Watchers and fully accept the Watchers' guidance and protection like the Life Church did?"

"So, you mean there's nothing to discuss about this matter?" Xia Chuan asked.

"You are asking the Watchers to make great concessions, but you are unwilling to make any concessions yourself. Is this a sign of sincerity?"

"We didn't make concessions because we had nowhere to retreat from the beginning, while the Watchers had a large area of ​​space behind them that they could use flexibly. Officer A, you should be very clear about this."

VIP A seemed to smile again on the other end of the phone: "Although input and output are not always completely equal, it should at least be in line with common sense. Mr. Haibi, it's not that we can't give you what you want, but we need to see a reasonable price. And what you gave in the past seems to be far from reasonable."

"That's all we can do. It seems like our determination isn't strong enough, it's not sufficient, and we haven't put in enough effort." Xia Chuan said. "It doesn't matter, we can keep working on it."

"Mr. Haizhai, are you threatening me?"

"I'm just stating the facts because we have no choice," Xia Chuan said. "If you see this as a threat, then I can't help it. However, efforts in Tokyo and the Pacific region alone seem to be completely inadequate. They are too far away from you and completely ineffective. Perhaps we should be more active, more proactive, and more aggressive, and make efforts in places where you can see more clearly. What do you think, Officer A?"

"Is the Skeleton Society officially declaring war on the Watchers?" asked Officer A.

"This is not the result we seek, but if there is no better choice, we can only choose to face it with a smile. Fortunately, the Skeleton Society does not need to be responsible to the people of any country or region, and never asks for it, which allows us to take action without any burden or burden." At this point, Xia Chuan also gave up. "We will come to bother you again soon, VIP A."

"Xiachuan Society," said Officer A suddenly. "Don't you have to be responsible for those believers? I heard that your doctrine is completely different from ordinary religions."

"It doesn't matter, just go ahead and do it." Xia Chuan sneered. "Protecting them is too tiring, killing them is easier. One Xia Chuan Society believer in exchange for a few Americans, this exchange is not a loss at all. How many people are stationed in Nemi? 50,000? 100,000? 200,000? If it's not enough, there are many places to go to say hello. Guam? Midway Island? Hawaii? Kangaroo Country? Los Angeles? Seattle? San Francisco? Although we don't expect this result, there should be people who are happy that things are going in this direction. This is the only advantage of having fewer people, so let's see what happens then."

There was silence on the other end of the line again. The encrypted phone had begun to heat up severely. Just as Xiachuan was about to hang up, the voice of VIP A suddenly rang again: "No new VIPs will go to Tokyo for the time being, and the wanted notices for the Xiachuan Society, the Kiryu Group and other organizations will also be temporarily suspended. The Skeleton Society must do its utmost to prevent the Cheka and the Special Management Bureau from infiltrating through this opportunity. Their activities in various parts of Neon must be maintained below the current level, otherwise, the Watchers will have to take any necessary measures to stop this harmful tendency."

This is probably the bottom line for Watchmen.

"Okay." Xia Chuan said. "Maintaining the status quo has always been one of our demands."

“I hope you will do what you say.”

After nearly two hours of talking, the call was finally ended, the Watcher finally gave in, and Xia Chuan seemed to have finally gotten the result he had always wanted.

But he couldn't feel happy at all.

Agreements are meant to be torn up, let alone a verbal agreement like this?

Maybe there won't be any important figures entering Tokyo, but there will definitely be a lot of guys like Anloses. The war has only officially moved underground, and the only thing he really gets may be the opportunity to develop his power brought about by such a short vacuum.

The truth is only within the range of cannons. The only feasible way to turn such an unsecured verbal agreement into real reality is to make yourself stronger and become a real porcupine that is strong enough to hurt the watcher.

Interestingly, Agent A did not mention Akasaka at all. Perhaps he has acknowledged that he cannot stop Akasaka's transformation, or he no longer regards Akasaka as the loyal dog of the Watcher. I wonder if this reality is a blessing or a curse for this organization that was once huge and terrifying in Natsukawa's eyes?

Less than an hour later, Kuroda Koji called and asked for a meeting with Natsukawa. Natsukawa went directly to his office as Hiroshi "Mukuyama" Kamiya, where he unexpectedly saw Derek Scott, whom he had not seen for a long time.

"I'm sorry, we should have been the ones to find you." Kuroda Koji's attitude changed again in a way that was hard to describe accurately. He seemed to have put himself in the position of a subordinate, but he also seemed to be hiding some dissatisfaction. "The wanted orders for the Kasumigawa-kai and the Kiryu-gumi have been completely lifted, and the relevant personnel have been sent home. Lord Mukuyama, may I ask what we should do next?"

"You don't have to do anything, just follow your daily pace." Xia Chuan had already thought about this problem on the way here. "Report the situation to me once every day at 5 pm. By the way, I have been assigned as the specialist to connect with Akasaka and Tokyo Watch, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

"Of course!" Kuroda Koji said immediately. "I have arranged for someone to handle the compensation for the Kasumigawa-kai and the Kiryu-gumi. The results will be given to you for review as soon as they come out. Well, I'll be leaving now."

He quickly left the office, leaving the space to Xia Chuan and Derek.

"I have been appointed as the temporary head of Tokyo Watch," Derek said. "My orders are to closely monitor the movements of the Cheka and the Special Management Bureau, report the situation to you in a timely manner, and report the results of your handling to the headquarters as soon as possible."

Xia Chuan nodded.

It was not surprising that Agent A made such an arrangement. The only surprise was that Derek, a person who was under suspicion, was chosen.

"The Special Management Bureau has not made any clear moves, and the Cheka... around 4 pm the day before yesterday, a vehicle was attacked in Hanyu City and burned. When the local police were investigating, they were attacked by unidentified armed men. The scene was destroyed and all the bodies were taken away. Because their whereabouts were heading northeast, we suspect that this is highly related to the Cheka..."

"Just leave the report here." Natsukawa was somewhat embarrassed. "Mukuroku will contact the Cheka later and ask them to explain the situation and intentions."

Derek looked at him, put down the documents in his hand, hesitated for a moment, gave him a simple military salute, opened the door and walked out.

Xia Chuan casually flipped through the documents, put them down with a sigh, and after a little consideration, he left the room.

He informed Kiryu Kazuyu and Sato Kentaro respectively of the situation related to them. Kiryu Kazuyu remained calm, but Sato Kentaro was obviously relieved.

"Kiryu, your mission is to continue to protect Vera. Leave the affairs of the Kiryu Group to someone you trust, and just keep it going."

"Yes." Kiryu Ichiryu replied.

After the relationship between this Yakuza organization and the Skeleton Society was exposed, its value of existence has actually dropped significantly. However, there are always some dirty jobs that need to be done by someone, and now that it has been put on the table, letting Kiryu Ichiryu select and expand the number of the Demon Sword Clan later can be regarded as a means of quickly expanding strength.

"Sato, your mission is to stabilize the sect as quickly as possible, and then hurry up to complete the previous plan and hide the core members of the sect. In addition, you can now increase the intensity of missionary work and strive to expand the number of believers. Hiding the devout believers among the believers is also a means of concealment. You can plan it and act as soon as possible."

"Yes, I will definitely try my best!" Sato Kentaro heard from his words that the crisis still existed, which immediately made him nervous again.

"Gather the miko in a secret place and tell them that they will be doing special training together."

"Yes!"

Xiachuan then called Baba Hiroshi and briefly told him some things they should know.

"You guys discuss and consider it carefully, and tell me the results as soon as possible. There shouldn't be any problems with Kuroda Koji, whether it's personnel transfers, the establishment of new organizations, or other changes within Akasaka. We can't guarantee that the results will be better, and you may face greater danger, but it's better than doing nothing and waiting for death."

"Yes, thank you very much! Please give us some time." replied Hiroshi Baba.

The believers ensure the source of the power of will, the shrine maidens and the demon swordsmen expand the middle force, and Baba Hiroshi and others infiltrate Akasaka to ensure information and security issues.

Afterwards, Natsukawa entered the Skeleton Shrine as a scout and gathered the Nomiya sisters who had been living a leisurely life and the guys from the Skeleton Agency.

"The good days are over." He told them the current situation in a concise manner. "Your mission remains unchanged. The Shrine will continue to expand its influence and strengthen its relationship with Akasaka, and the Corpse Organization must more actively cooperate with Akasaka's actions and help them stabilize the situation. You are an important link between the Corpse Organization and Akasaka, and the face of the Corpse Organization. No matter what changes occur, you must fulfill your duties."

"Yes! Don't worry!" Daisuke Sasaki responded loudly, while the others had different expressions.

The sudden physical appearance of the corpse in front of them surprised them, made them feel a little uncomfortable, but more of a sense of uneasiness.

Did the Skeleton Society reach a verbal agreement with the Watchers?

Is it that simple?

What kind of situation will we face next?

But they were already too deeply connected with the Skeleton Society, and there was no possibility of escaping. They could only continue to drive on this car and pray that it would reach its destination safely.

Do you want people from different systems to meet each other?

Xia Chuan finally rejected this idea. With the existence of the prophecy props, it would be better for them not to be subordinate to each other and not to affect each other.

Then, there is only one thing to do.

He returned to the place where he had hidden the sand table before. Several days had passed, and the secret marks around it remained the same. It seemed that no one had appeared nearby.

He examined it again and then placed it in the bone shrine.

"Miss Vera, would you do us a favor?"

"Of course!" said the psychic without hesitation.

For someone like her, being used by others is not terrible. What is terrible is that she has no value worthy of the other party's attention.

"Then please follow me." Xia Chuan said.

Chapter 215 Three Roads

"Is this... a blood sand table?" Faced with the prophecy prop that Xia Chuan snatched from the Watcher, the psychic Vera was a little uncertain.

After all, these things were important strategic tools that were closely protected by supernatural organizations in various countries. Although she had learned about them from relevant records in the Cheka collection, she was already blind at that time and could only learn about them through other people's reading and descriptions. Now she had no way of matching them with the real objects.

"Blood Sand Table?" Xia Chuan was somewhat displeased with the name, because it clearly carried some anti-human connotations.

Considering the corpses they had found before that were created by the priests of the Church of Life in order to use this thing, the conditions for use were already obvious.

"I can't be sure, but it's most likely a blood sand table."

"Can you use it?" Xia Chuan asked.

"Please let me try," Vera replied.

"I wonder if they have done anything to this thing." Xia Chuan said. "Tell me how to use it first."

It would definitely be more convenient for him to use this thing alone without the medium. The medium hesitated for a few seconds, as if she had some unnecessary worries, but she finally honestly told him how to use it that she knew.

The Skeleton Shrine is naturally not lacking in spiritual energy. When there was too much spiritual power and nowhere to consume it, Xia Chuan would infuse spiritual power into the trees in the shrine and feed the newborn mice and crows with amulets that contain spiritual power. This place should have long been the place with the richest spiritual power in the entire Tokyo area.

The Nomiya sisters had been driven away when the medium entered the shrine. Xiachuan found a relatively open grassland in the sacred forest, put down the blood sand table, and then flattened the sand according to Vera's instructions, and then formed a prophecy circle on the flat sand surface.

Next, he broke off a small piece of the sword blade that was broken by the guy from the Styx Society during the battle with Kiryu Ichiryu, which he had taken from Akasaka, and put it into the circle in the center of the magic circle. Then, while silently chanting a spell, he grabbed the spirit rat caught nearby, cut its body, and let the blood drip into the center of the magic circle.

Nothing happened.

The blood didn't even seep into the yellow-brown sand, but floated on the surface of the sand and quickly filled the magic circle drawn by Xia Chuan.

As expected, this spell cannot be used by everyone. Only humans with psychic talent can use it?

Xia Chuan then stood aside and nodded to the psychic.
