From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

After a meaningless exchange of pleasantries, he finally explained his situation.

"My father unfortunately died in the battle on Iwo Jima. My grandfather led us orphans of the war and created a hard-earned foundation with great difficulty, but he also passed away more than ten years ago, leaving us, his unworthy descendants. Because we are not virtuous, respectable and capable, in order to protect the family business, we are always walking on thin ice, fearing that one wrong step will bring the family to an irreparable situation. Therefore, if I may have neglected Lord Haikui and the masters of the Haikui Society, I am really helpless, and I hope you will forgive me."

He kept a low profile, completely unguarded, and allowed Xia Chuan to examine and investigate him.

His spiritual power level is probably only slightly higher than that of Moriyama Chiyu, but Moriyama Chiyu is actually a quick learner created by Natsukawa using pure spiritual power. So far, he has mastered very few spells and combat skills. If they really fight, he will be no match for Tozawa Yasu.

However, with his strength, if he did not have any special skills like Huang from the Styx Society before, Xia Chuan believed that he could deal with him within a few minutes.

On the other hand, Natsukawa didn't completely believe what Tozawa Yasu said.

His grandfather might have passed away, but that didn't mean there weren't other monsters among them who had also survived the war. Moreover, Xia Chuan didn't believe that the one who came here today was their strongest force.

For the Skeleton Society, in order to dissuade the Watchers from taking action, they must show their strength and determination as much as possible. But for Shimazaki Yagyo and his gang, they have been carefully hiding for 40 to 50 years. There is no reason for them to jump out at this time and get involved in the fight between the Skeleton Society and the Watchers. It is reasonable to hide their true strength.

Tozawa Yasushi should be the one pushed forward to deal with the Skeleton Society's signboard, but for Natsukawa, at this stage, it is enough for them to be able to achieve this.

After all, the Watchers are a huge force that is one of the three poles of the world. It would be very strange if at this time an alien that they have never met took the initiative to jump out and say that they want to fight alongside the Skeleton Society.

"Let's forget about the past." Xia Chuan said, and then simply repeated what he had said to those aliens in Kyoto.

"This is what we have been longing for." Tozawa Yasu immediately expressed his opinion. "We will fully support what Lord Mukuro said!"

"Well, let's leave it at that for now." Xia Chuan said. "You should have your own circle, so please tell others about this as well."

"Of course! Of course!" Tozawa Yasu nodded repeatedly, and signaled his subordinates to bring up several gifts wrapped in quaint boxes. "It's just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it, Lord Kaiju. Although our abilities are limited and we can't do much, we will definitely do our best within our capabilities!"

Xia Chuan nodded, and the group quickly retreated and disappeared into the night.

Nomiya Wakana couldn't wait to open the gifts and found that they contained scrolls, books, and inherited items. The last box contained a series of documents. She opened it and found that they were the ownership transfer documents of the commercial center and high-end apartments owned by Shimazaki House in the Minami-Senju area east of the Skeleton Shrine.

This item alone is worth at least hundreds of billions of yen, and this attitude made Xia Chuan feel a little embarrassed.

It seemed as if he had called them here to blackmail them.

He is no longer short of money.

The regular auctions at the Skeleton Shrine are one thing, and the revenue from the increasingly large Kasumigawa Association is equally astonishing. What's more, if one is really short of money, it is more convenient and simpler to transfer funds from Akasaka, and one doesn't have to consider too many things.

"Kana, you return these documents to them tomorrow." Xia Chuan said. "No need to say anything more."

Although it's a pity, the Nomiya sisters, who are already considered invisible rich people, are actually a bit numb to money. In comparison, they are more interested in the stories behind these anomalies.

However, since Xia Chuan didn't say anything, it was not convenient for them to find out anything on their own.

Xia Chuan began to check the scrolls and books, and found that most of them were new spells and legends that he had never encountered before, and a considerable part of them were related to space, time, illusion, etc. It seemed that Tozawa Yasu and other aliens had carefully investigated the Skeleton Society and heard about their plan to build a "Peach Blossom Land".

"It's really boring." The fox demon who was hiding in the dark finally came out, flipping through the scrolls and books, picking and choosing among the inherited items. "It looks like a lot, but it's actually useless."

Xia Chuan could only shake his head.

At this time, the fox demon suddenly asked: "Don't you want to ask them about the Moriyama Chiyu family? You are all alien families hiding in human society, and you should know each other's details very well."

This proposal made Xia Chuan a little excited.

Although it has never been mentioned, for Chiyu Moriyama, family recognition must have always been something she desperately desires in her heart.

In the past, she had been trying hard to prove that it was a huge mistake for those people to abandon her, and she had given up everything for this.

Should he fulfill her wish?

"Let me return those documents. It's easier for youkai to talk to each other." The fox laughed. "There's a strange aura about Moriyama. To be honest, I've always been very curious about what that alien part of her bloodline is! If I can get in touch with her family again, maybe I can find a spell suitable for her to practice and use, or even learn her own magic? If her family is willing to come over, it would be a very meaningful thing for the Skeleton Society, right?"

"Don't let Qianyu know about this for now." Xia Chuan said.

"Surprise?" The fox laughed. "Don't worry, this is my favorite thing!"

Chapter 267 Framed

"It's a bit strange..." Shohei Takahashi said to his partner.

"how?"

"Where did everyone go tonight?"

This residential area is also a place that the two men often pass by in their patrol car. Although they are not as familiar with these areas as the patrol officers stationed at the station, they have passed by it many times and have some impression of what this place should look like at this time of night.

The scene before them was indeed unusual. The street lights had been turned on, but a large residential area on the right side of the road was still in darkness. Only a few shops had lights on, letting them know that there was no power outage.

This scene immediately made them think of the possibility of a vicious abnormal incident, and their minds suddenly became highly focused.

Shohei Takahashi subconsciously grabbed the walkie-talkie, while his partner who was driving was ready to speed away at any time.

It was eerily peaceful.

Shohei Takahashi kept staring at the abnormal fluctuation detector installed on the top of the windshield, but the pointer did not move at all.

"What should I do? Should I report it?" His voice trembled.

"Of course!" the partner said immediately.

It's just a job that pays 450,000 yen a month, not much more than the average office worker, but he always has to face death and fear.

Why?

Shohei Takahashi immediately reported the abnormality to the dispatch desk via the intercom.

"No lights? No inhabitants?"

"Yes, it's very strange!" said Shohei Takahashi.

"You guys go to a safe place first, we'll head to Akasaka right away..."

"Shohei!" said the partner at this time.

Several figures walked out of the dark area, and their clothes made the two men relax immediately.

The shrine maiden in white clothes and scarlet hakama, with a crow mask on her head, the chosen warrior in black clothes and with a long sword, with a Prajna mask on her head. Although they have never had direct contact with them, almost all the mobile police already know that they are affiliated with the Skeleton Society, an armed force that specializes in dealing with vicious alien incidents.

With their intervention, most incidents will be properly resolved quickly.

Takahashi Shohei immediately said to the dispatch desk: "It's okay, it's the people from the Corpse Agency, they're here!"

The Metropolitan Police Department has no right to interfere in the affairs of the Corpse Agency. However, they have also become accustomed to the Corpse Agency resolving these matters quickly. Although the procedure seems a bit strange, the Corpse Agency's people discovered the problems and dealt with them earlier than the police. This is simply the best thing for them who always prefer to have less trouble.

The call was soon terminated. Takahashi Shohei's partner had already opened the door and walked out, took off his hat, and saluted the shrine maiden and the chosen warrior from a distance.

Shohei Takahashi was also preparing to get off the car, but at this time, he noticed that the priestess seemed a little unhappy and said something to the chosen warrior beside her. He nodded and walked over here.

Are you dissatisfied with us for coming too late?

Takahashi Shohei couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Speaking of which, although many colleagues have come into contact with the Corpse Agency, they have only heard rumors from others and have never really faced these extraordinary humans. Although it is said that their attitude is no more arrogant or difficult to get along with than the people in Akasaka, there will always be...

Suddenly, a strange light flashed in the darkness, and Shohei Takahashi subconsciously stopped pushing the door. The next second, the body of his partner standing in front of the car suddenly split into two and fell to both sides.

This horrifying scene made Shohei Takahashi's mind go blank. At this moment, he suddenly saw that the chosen warrior had walked not far from the police car, and the strange light lit up again.

#####

"Takahashi-kun? Takahashi-kun!!"

In the darkness, Shohei Takahashi heard someone calling his name in a daze.

He felt his body was very heavy, as if something was entangled with him and would not let go. He could not breathe and did not know where he was. His mind was in a mess, with countless fragments of memory turning around, but he could not form a continuous thought.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt intense pain again. Then, a bright light suddenly appeared, and his consciousness finally returned.

I was still extremely tired, with pain and bouts of dizziness, and I was completely unable to think.

"Takahashi-kun, are you awake?!" someone said in surprise not far from my ear.

He forced himself to turn his gaze and found that it was his direct superior, and next to him were several strangers in plain clothes.

"Takahashi-kun, what happened? Do you remember?"

"It's all dark... Report... Miko... God's chosen... God's chosen warrior... Ah~ No! No!" Fragments of memory suddenly came to his mind, and Takahashi Shohei suddenly felt a sharp pain in his body, and the scene before he fainted finally resurfaced.

The warrior wearing the Prajna mask swung his sword, splitting his partner in half, and then himself!

These incoherent words made Agent Akasaka, who came to understand the situation, frown.

When they were found, their car had left the road and stopped in an abandoned factory.

The car had signs of being set on fire. If it weren't for the fact that the automatic sprinkler system in the factory was still working normally, Takahashi Shohei would have been burned to death. However, it was hard to explain why the people who killed and injured them and set the fire left without waiting until the end. The only possibility was that the person who did it had to get to another place as soon as possible for some reason.

What is even more disturbing is that the traces left on the murdered police officer and the car are too obvious. In addition, the words that Shohei Takahashi said in his last contact with the outside world are deliberately leading the result to a certain direction.

"We have to make him better, and then we can ask him about the details." They discussed in a low voice.

The most convenient way is of course to send him to the Skeleton Shrine for treatment, but behind all this direction...

The detectives did not dare to speculate or add any personal ideas. Instead, they reported all the clues directly to Kuroda Koji who was directing the investigation at the scene. After a slight hesitation, the latter immediately gave an order: "This matter ends here. Don't tell anyone else. I will send someone to take over immediately!"

He immediately arranged for his confidants to take the injured to the Skeleton Shrine, and he himself rushed to the Skeleton Shrine and reported directly to Natsukawa through Nomiya Kana.

"Is someone trying to frame the Corpse Organization and the Corpse Society?" Kuroda Koji said cautiously.

Xia Chuan's brows were tightly furrowed.

At a cult sacrifice scene where more than two hundred people died, the only survivor pointed the finger at the Skeleton Society.

Isn't this too much of a frame-up? !

Chapter 268 The Missing Witch

After realizing that he was in the bone shrine, Takahashi Shohei was so scared that he almost curled up into a ball. This state made Natsukawa even more angry.

Asking questions in this state would definitely not have any effect, so he simply knocked Takahashi Shohei unconscious, and with the help of the fox demon, reconstructed his memory in a dream.

"They do look alike. No wonder he was so scared." The fox demon said with interest.

"Don't talk as if it has nothing to do with you." Xia Chuan said. The scene was frozen at the moment when the guy pretending to be the chosen warrior of God swung the long sword, but everything that happened afterwards was not difficult to infer from the evidence collected at the scene brought by Kuroda Koji.

The ritual held by the other party to massacre more than 200 people must have had some purpose. What made Xia Chuan even more angry was that the other party now went so far as to use such a dirty trick as to frame the Skeleton Society.

One shrine maiden and three chosen warriors were the standard configuration for the current Skeleton Shrine's outings, and in Takahashi Shohei's memory, their attire was exactly the same as that of the Skeleton Shrine. In fact, even if there were slight differences, ordinary people would not be able to tell the difference.

If you analyze it carefully, there are actually many flaws, the difference in the knife marks, and the randomness of Takahashi Shohei's survival. If you think about it a little, you will understand that if he didn't deliberately leave someone alive, he would never have survived.

They were about to set the car on fire, but they took the trouble to move it to an old factory building where the fire sprinkler heads were still working. It was obvious that they didn't want him to die.

But as the saying goes, it is always a hundred or a thousand times more difficult to dispel rumors than to create them.

"There's no point being unhappy. Didn't Kuroda Koji say that he would suppress this matter with all his strength and would never allow unnecessary rumors to appear? However, Natsukawa-kun, the same thing will definitely happen again next time. You should have expected this, right?"

Xia Chuan nodded.

"What are you going to do?" the fox demon continued to ask.

"Of course, catch them!" Xia Chuan said without hesitation.

"Look at the previous confrontation between Akasaka and the Styx Society, this kind of thing shouldn't be easy, right?" said the fox. "What if we can't find them and the same thing keeps happening? Didn't Akasaka and Tokyo Watch also fail to find the Skeleton Society before? In this case, the party that takes the initiative always has a greater advantage, right?"

"You're not suggesting that I take the initiative, are you? If I leave Tokyo, Xiachuan will have a lot of things to do with the Skeleton Shrine..." Xiachuan couldn't help but want to sigh again.

If there were more power available, there would be far more options.

The fox demon also sighed softly.

Xia Chuan has given her a lot of spiritual energy to increase her strength, but this kind of thing also takes time, and it cannot be done simply by piling up spiritual power.

It will take her at least a few months to grow a new tail, and only then will she be able to truly appear as a "mirage".

For a monster like her with a long life, this short period of time was just a moment, but looking at Xia Chuan's anxious look, she suddenly felt that time was running out.

"Didn't they say that the Special Management Bureau and the Cheka would soon retaliate against the Watchers? This matter is most likely related to them. By that time, they should not have the energy to mess with us anymore!"

"I hope so." Xia Chuan said with a sigh.

#####

"Missing? How could that happen?" The sudden change made Sato Kentaro anxious. "When was the last time we contacted them?"

"Four hours ago...Takano reported something strange, so we sent them there according to procedure. It takes two hours to get there, so..." Nomiya Misa said uneasily. "Reina has already taken people there to look for it..."

"What's the point of her going there? We should report this to the gods immediately!" Sato Kentaro doesn't have the competitive spirit of Kawaguchi Reina. It's the first time for the Kasumigawa Association that a shrine maiden and a chosen warrior have disappeared. How can they decide how to make up for this matter without authorization? !

Xia Chuan heard his prayer immediately and was also surprised by the news.

"Who is missing?"
