From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil
Page 180
Xia Chuan felt very uncomfortable when he thought of this. He had tried to copy the blood sandbox a long time ago, but had never succeeded. The prophecy props seemed to hide some secrets that could not be revealed simply from the structure, and he had never been able to crack them.
Without this prop, psychics can only work through media such as Tarot cards, but with such means, both the accuracy and the amount of information will be greatly reduced.
"What would you do if it were you?"
"The first thing to do is to find out the internal intelligence of the Skeleton Society, determine who the main figures are and where they are hiding, and then eliminate them all to prevent future troubles. Even if we can't eliminate them all, at least we have to eliminate most of them. If they knew that the Skeleton Society actually only has two members, they would probably be shocked and happy, right?"
"What are the specific actions?"
"It's almost impossible to get in, so they will probably target important insiders, right? For example... Sato who was exposed before?"
"If that happens, I will immediately attack the US military bases in Japan and launch indiscriminate attacks on the US mainland. They cannot fail to consider the consequences, otherwise, they would not have to reach an agreement with me in the first place."
"Then I don't know...Brother, I'm just a child, why do you want to embarrass me with such questions?"
"Please stop joking at this time..." Xia Chuan was a little helpless.
"But I really can't imagine it." The fox sighed and shook his head. "Like you, I am sure that the Watchers will never accept this situation quietly, but I also can't imagine how they can eliminate the Skeleton Society without incurring a huge price without knowing your background. The most important thing at the moment is not to let them know the true situation of the Skeleton Society. Apart from that, I really can't think of anything else that can be done. Otherwise, why don't you go to the United States and show your face to let them know that you are not satisfied with their little tricks and that you have the ability to retaliate?"
This is indeed not a good solution. After all, for the aliens, there is no need for evidence to take action.
However, if the other party caused trouble while he was away, they would most likely not be able to resist the actions of at least two gods with only the power of the fox demon and the priestesses. In that case, would the weakness of the Skeleton Society be immediately noticed by the other party?
"Let me make a call first." Xia Chuan said.
#####
He came to Kuroda Koji's office again and dialed the number of the Watcher headquarters, but after the transfer, it was not A who answered the call, but another voice he was very familiar with.
"Anroses?"
"Haizhi? What's the matter?"
He wanted to bring the suspect to justice, but the suspect was waiting for him at the door?
"Do you want to break the agreement?"
"What?" The voice on the other end sounded confused. "What are you talking about?"
"Stop pretending." Xia Chuan hesitated a little, but did not change his tone. "Stop it now."
"what are you talking about?"
"We will only warn you once." Xia Chuan said and hung up the phone.
The word "anlloces" was a combination he found from those letters. Although he was a little hesitant, since he had already made the call, there could be no more hesitation.
Things have come to this point, even if it wasn't the Watchers' actions, the responsibility must be placed on them.
If it really had nothing to do with the Watchers, then they would naturally ask Derek and Kuroda Koji what happened and give an explanation.
Sure enough, Derek soon found the bone shrine and gave an answer.
"It should be a conspiracy of the Cheka." He was somewhat unnatural when facing Natsukawa who appeared as Kamiya Hiroshi. "They want to deliberately provoke the relationship between our two sides and undermine the peace agreement."
"Where's the evidence?"
"We are investigating, but it will take time and we need the permission and help of the Skeleton Society," Derek said.
They also shot first and then set up the target. In this respect, his behavior was similar to Xia Chuan's.
"What permission?"
"The existing manpower is not capable of undertaking such an important mission. This is most likely the prelude to a series of Cheka conspiracies. If we want to resolve this incident, we must have our people re-enter Tokyo."
I'm really sorry for the inconvenience caused to everyone by missing a chapter.
Please refresh the chapter... Sorry, sorry
Chapter 259 Deadly Remonstrance
Xia Chuan’s first thought was that the Watcher was up to something!
If they were allowed to re-enter Tokyo in this way, they might not actually conduct the so-called investigation. Instead, they would be more likely to seize the opportunity and focus all their energy on becoming enemies with the Skeleton Society.
But the Cheka...
“Kamiya, although I don’t know why you think this matter is related to the Watcher, you should understand that even if the Watcher really wants to do something, it is impossible to use such a ridiculous and ineffective method. We really can’t understand why you associate it with the Watcher?”
It was only then that Natsukawa realized that until now only he, the fox demon Erika, the psychic Vera and the guy who set the trap knew that the prophecy ritual had suffered a serious backlash.
Theoretically, if this matter really has nothing to do with the Watchers, then they would not have known about it.
"Why Cheka?"
"The Styx Society probably doesn't have the courage and ability to continue causing trouble. I've roughly understood the situation at the scene, and it doesn't seem like it's something an ordinary cult can do. So, besides Cheka, are there any other suspects who have this ability and the motive to deliberately expose it?"
Derek repeatedly stressed that the Watcher had no motive for doing this. The purpose of the ritual was to summon certain beings, and if it was the Watcher, he would have hidden the scene well and would never have deliberately exposed it.
If there was no trap, his words would indeed make sense. However, he had already been abandoned in Tokyo as a pawn, so even if the Watcher was really planning something, he would definitely not let him know.
Xia Chuan asked him to go back and wait for notification from the Skeleton Society, and then gathered the core members together again.
Erika, Ichiryu Kiryu, Chiyu Moriyama, Yui Aoki, and Vera who were involved in this matter, the others either lacked the strength or were not qualified to know such a core secret.
But in this case, Chiyu Moriyama and Yui Aoki are too young to be deeply involved, Ichiryu Kiryu has spent more time in prison than outside, and his thoughts are too violent and extreme. Although Vera knows something about Cheka, as a psychic she has been under strict control and does not need to think about anything on her own. In fact, she can't help much. The only one who can really discuss with Natsukawa is Youhu.
"Could it be the Cheka?"
Everyone looked at Vera.
"They do have the reason and ability to kill me at all costs, but I've never heard of the Cheka using such means to eliminate defectors before." Vera hesitated. "Also, the Cheka can tolerate and actively use supernatural creatures, but cannot tolerate the existence of gods in their sphere of influence. From this point of view, I think it is unlikely to be them."
"I think so," Erika said. "As for the Cheka, they probably won't attack the Bone Shrine directly. It's more likely that they'll send people to monitor or use spy satellites to confirm Vera's whereabouts, or use bombs or something to kill her directly, right? Hey? Why are you looking at me like that? I just... I just heard some of their stories from my brother before, so I'm just guessing!"
Fortunately, neither Chiyu Moriyama nor Yui Aoki was the type to ask questions, and everyone's attention was not on her. Soon, the topic returned to the matter itself.
The possibility of the Styx Society and some unknown cult that appeared out of nowhere has been basically ruled out. The Teflon Office and the Cheka are considered to be certain possibilities, but the probability is not high. The biggest suspect is still the Watchers, but in the current situation, unless they are prepared to tear their faces apart and fight, it is difficult to use this matter to warn and threaten them without any evidence.
"This is actually one of the main ways of cold war between major powers." Vera, who is well-informed, said. "Once a war really breaks out between the three major powers, the whole world will be buried with them, and there will be no winners. Therefore, everyone has already reached a tacit understanding. It is either a proxy war or a secret war under certain control. I am not sure about other places, but in the Far East and Hokkaido alone, at least four senior members of the Watchers have been killed during secret infiltrations in the past ten years. Of course, the Cheka has also paid a considerable price. The Cheka has also paid the price of hundreds of werewolves in Alaska and northern Canada."
"Why does it have to be like this..." Yui Aoki couldn't help but say, but didn't continue.
"You always want to overwhelm the other side and implement your ideas throughout the world, right? I can't understand the way those bigwigs think." The psychic just shook his head slightly and forced a bitter smile. "When we were young, we were always taught to plant the red flag all over the world and eliminate all oppressors and plunderers. However, it seems that no one believes this anymore."
Lucia in this world still maintains the authority of a superpower, while the United States also has a host of problems within it and has to face resistance from many economic colonies, and has not been able to become a beacon of freedom.
The structure of three superpowers is also much more stable than the two-level confrontation, but there is no doubt that because there are alien and extraordinary forces in this world, the intensity and frequency of secret wars are also much more intense.
"Then how were they discovered?" This is what Xia Chuan is most concerned about now.
"It's actually very difficult to detect important personnel who have been lurking all the time, and the same is true for werewolves. Although everyone is constantly researching instruments to detect spiritual power and resentment, their reliability has never been guaranteed. In most cases, they are discovered and fought when they are causing damage or trying to steal intelligence. In a few cases, they are discovered when they come into contact with places and people that have been exposed and monitored. We mediums can sometimes play a role, but most of the time we can only serve as auxiliary."
Are you going to passively wait to be beaten?
This situation made Xia Chuan very unhappy, but there seemed to be no better way at the moment.
"What should we do with the Watchers? I specifically told them all those things but there's no follow-up. I feel so embarrassed..." The fox demon kept talking about things that were irrelevant.
Xiachuan glared at her, looked at the people present, and finally assigned Kiryu Ichiryu to inform Derek of the result.
No comment will be made on their explanation, and no request will be entertained. In short, no matter who did it, the Watchers must be careful. Once the Skeleton Society confirms that the incident is related to them, the revenge of the Skeleton Society will follow.
It was no longer appropriate for him to face Derek with his identity, and beside him, only Kiryu Ichiryu was not inferior to anyone in terms of momentum. In other words, when it came to being unreasonable, no one was more suitable than him.
"Our strength is still too weak..." When everyone dispersed and Natsukawa faced Erika alone, he couldn't help but sigh again.
His own strength may be strong, but apart from him, the Skeleton Association can no longer produce any military force worth mentioning. This is their biggest problem at the moment.
In the environment, Erika is a powerful fox demon with seven tails, but in reality, she only has three tails.
When she claimed to be the strongest, she once possessed four tails, but one of them exploded when she lost her body. In the years that followed, she first kept avoiding the pursuit of the Meiji government, and then kept avoiding the pursuit, and tried to break free from the seal. All her energy was spent on hiding herself and fighting against the seal. Not only did her strength not improve, but she became weaker.
After becoming Erika, Natsukawa gave her a lot of pure spiritual energy, but the improvement of realm is not a matter of overnight, and she also needs time and effort to restore her former strength.
"Don't worry so much... If you're always gloomy, how can others live?" She stood on tiptoe and touched Xia Chuan's head with her hand. "It's better now than before, right? Relax, everything will be fine."
Xia Chuan nodded, and realized what she was doing the next second, and immediately pinched her cheek: "Is this something a sister can do to her brother? I think you are itching for trouble?"
"My face~ I'll fight you!"
After playing around for a while, Xia Chuan felt a lot more relaxed.
Since he had nothing to do, he asked the medium to stay at the Skeleton Shrine temporarily, and he went to the headquarters of the Kasumigawa Association. He watched the performance of the apprentice priestesses and the chosen warriors between the trials. After staying like this for a few hours, Kiryu Ichiryū quietly came behind him.
"Is the matter done?"
"Yes." Kiryu Ichiryu replied.
"Thank you for your hard work." Xia Chuan nodded, but he felt that Kiryu Ichiryu seemed a little different from usual. "Anything else?"
"My Lord God." Kiryu Ichiryu knelt down in front of him, opened his shirt, and put the knife in front of his knees. He looked like he was going to perform a caesarean section, which scared Natsukawa.
"Kiryu, what are you doing?"
"I think you've become weak!" Kiryu Ichiryu said solemnly.
"weak?"
"Yes! The God who pulled me out of hell would never be as anxious and worried as he is now!"
Xia Chuan was stunned for a moment, then said: "The business was not so big at that time, and there were not so many things to consider..."
"You mean, these things have become your shackles?" Kiryu Ichiryu asked. "If so, please let me cut them off for you!"
"Kiryuu, what are you talking about?"
Kiryu Ichiryu bowed down: "I should have died a long time ago. It was God who gave me a new life and granted me such power, so that I have everything now. In order to repay your kindness, I can die at any time! I believe that everyone here has the same awareness. If not, then they are not worth your consideration!"
"We should be the tools for God to conquer and rule this world, the ladder under your feet to help you reach the highest position! If we cannot play such a role, but gradually become your weakness, and become the object that you must always consider and protect, then we are unqualified and should be abandoned or even destroyed immediately!"
"My Lord God!" His head banged loudly on the floor. "You should be flying between heaven and earth, but you are trapped in this place because of us worthless people. Please kill me here, otherwise, I will kill those who bind you one by one with my own hands! Until you are no longer hindered by them!"
He stopped talking and put his head on the floor, waiting for Xia Chuan's response.
Xia Chuan fell silent.
Of course he understood what Kiryu Ichiryu meant, and he fully believed that if he couldn't give Kiryu Ichiryu the answer he wanted here, he would really start to take action.
In a sense, Kiryu Ichiryu was actually right, and what Long Qingting said to him before actually had a similar meaning.
The more he values certain things, the more his enemies will use them as weapons to attack him.
But can he really treat believers, clergy, shrine maidens and chosen warriors, even the Asakawa siblings, Sato Kentaro, and the Nomiya sisters as tools as Kiryu Kazuyu hopes, ignoring their safety and acting only for his own will and interests?
If he did that, would he still be himself?
Maybe he would become a qualified god, but he would also lose the humanity he has always cherished and become the things he hates.
"I understand." He finally nodded. "Get up, Kiryu. I accept your advice and will no longer be bound and disturbed by unnecessary concerns. But I am not the kind of god you think. If you want to be my sword, you must adapt and accept this. The sword will not try to interfere with the master's thinking, nor will it cut its own people. It will only drink the blood of the enemy. I hope you remember this."
"Yes!" Kiryu Kazuyu answered loudly with his head still on the floor.
"Get up."
Chapter 260 Breaking Free from the Shackles
Kiryu Kazuyuki's advice made Natsukawa feel somewhat complicated and distressed, and he didn't know how to make changes.
At this time, Long Qingting called unexpectedly and made such a suggestion.
"If you have a headache, why not come to my place and relax?"
"Eh?"
"Isn't your problem now that you suspect the Watchers are secretly planning something but have no evidence, and you want to make changes but don't know how to start? Then, leave for a while and give the Watchers a hard time somewhere, so that they know your anger and further demonstrate your ability to retaliate to the world. If you leave for a while, it won't be too abrupt to start changing when you return, isn't that good?"
"You called me just to ask me to help, right?" Xia Chuan finally realized this.
"Hahaha, I was still thinking about how to ask. What do you think? You won't refuse, right?" Long Qingting didn't deny it, and admitted it with a big laugh. "You don't have a good relationship with the Watchers and the Cheka. How about taking this opportunity to express your goodwill to the Special Management Bureau?"
"Will it not backfire and make them think that I'm colluding with you and treat me as an enemy?"
Long Qingting laughed again: "This is also very possible, so, will you come?"
"Then you should at least tell me what's going on, where we are, what kind of enemies we are facing, and how long it will take, right?"
"It's not convenient to talk too much over the phone. I'll wait for you in Yangon and we'll talk in detail after we meet. With our abilities, I think we can solve the problem in a week at most. The opponent is likely to be an evil god from South America, most likely a lackey of the Watcher. You may have to face such an opponent in Tokyo in the future. What do you think? It's not a bad thing for you to have such an opportunity to understand their weaknesses, right?"
