From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil
Page 189
Under such circumstances, do they have the power to take care of such a vast territory and ensure that the interests of the United States are not harmed?
What will the Watcher choose?
Xia Chuan was very interested in this.
This is also the second reason why he chose to take action in Hawaii first.
It is 6,000 kilometers away from Tokyo and nearly 4,000 kilometers away from the mainland of the United States. Although it is not in the mainland of the United States, it has always played an extremely important role due to its geographical location.
It takes more than five hours to fly from the mainland of the United States to Hawaii, and it is for this reason that Xiachuan gave the time limit of "six hours".
Even if the Watchers had a faster way to get to Hawaii from the mainland of the United States, six hours from the time they knew what happened here to the time they made a decision and then got here should be enough for them to endure.
The distance of 4,000 kilometers should be enough to have a big impact on them. If member A doesn't come, then no matter how many people they come, they will just be wasting their time. If he comes in person, then in these six hours, he has greatly changed the local belief state and turned this place into half of his home ground. Xia Chuan, who has been well-rested and ready for battle, doesn't mind trying to wrestle with him under such conditions.
There was still plenty of time, so he continued to stroll along the streets of Honolulu dragging the big suitcase, observing these Americans who were panicked by his intimidation from the closest distance and angle, while observing the situation on various islands through the seabirds that he had transformed into spiritual pets.
He didn't know how many residents and tourists there were in Hawaii. However, as time went by, the amount of wishes became larger and larger, and the consumption of soul jades gradually stopped. On the contrary, as the final "divine punishment" deadline was approaching, the amount of wishes forced Xia Chuan to start making soul jades again, which gradually filled up the suitcase.
Therefore, Xiachuan simply used the word spirit technique again to summon thick smog to cover the entire archipelago, which in turn further accelerated the speed of the generation of willpower.
At this time, Paul also completed the first wave of tasks to deliver supplies to Daxia and Lucia submarines, and returned to Xiachuan in time.
The huge body and appearance of the deep-sea monster floating in the air immediately attracted everyone's attention and made people realize Xia Chuan's identity. The vague body of the giant octopus in the haze and the huge tentacles constantly swaying in the air immediately became the nightmare of many people, which made Xia Chuan's identity as an evil demon more and more certain.
“Master, it seems that they don’t dare to show up… What should we do? Should we continue to move forward? To be honest, their attitude makes me feel a little uneasy.”
"What needs to be done must be done." Xia Chuan said.
Chapter 283 The Watcher Who Recedes
The six-hour deadline was up in the blink of an eye.
Under the double shock of thunderstorm and thick fog, few people in the Hawaiian Islands dared not to pray to Xia Chuan for forgiveness. Under such circumstances, Xia Chuan no longer had any need to scare people. He removed the thick fog and activated the illusion array again.
The huge figure of the evil god appeared again, but this time, it brought praise and affirmation to the residents and tourists of the Hawaiian Islands.
"Don't ever forget this day," Xia Chuan told the crowd. "I will always be watching over you."
As time passed, the source of willpower gradually decreased. However, Xia Chuan had already obtained an extra large suitcase of soul jade. Because it was inconvenient to carry, he simply threw it to Paul and let it melt into his body for safekeeping.
He went straight to the US Pacific Command. The soldiers inside had already fled before the deadline of divine punishment. Fortunately, they did not destroy all the computers. Paul quickly hacked into the database and retrieved the officers' information, allowing Xia Chuan to control the crows to find them one by one.
A few elderly senior officers had already died. Perhaps they felt that it was impossible to escape "divine punishment" and that they would surely be tortured and sent to hell, so they chose to commit suicide. However, the younger officers were all alive, and had fled the mansions where they had originally lived, hiding in civilian areas with their families. Some even mixed in with the crowd outside the shrine with their families.
Xia Chuan didn't need to use any tricks at all. They immediately confessed everything they had done in the past few hours: reporting to the Navy Headquarters, trying to solve the problem to no avail, and not waiting for orders and support, so they could only flee in despair.
"Did the Admiralty Headquarters give you any instructions?"
"They told us to stay at our posts and wait for orders, and then we disappeared without a trace... Lord God, we..."
"It's okay, you can go." Xia Chuan said.
The Special Management Bureau and the Cheka would probably be very interested in the documents here. Natsukawa asked Erika, who was in charge of contacting them, to tell them about the situation here and ask them to send someone as soon as possible. He locked the door, arranged a few seagulls to guard the door, and then left.
This is really strange. What on earth is Agent A planning?
Is the Watcher so determined that he can completely disregard his own face, swallow his pride, and let Xia Chuan, the Special Management Bureau and the Cheka slap him in the face without doing anything?
Paul was not the only one who felt strange. In fact, the revenge operations being carried out by the Special Management Bureau and the Cheka around the world were going so smoothly that they were scared. The power of the Watchers seemed to have disappeared overnight, leaving them with empty punches time and time again, and they felt at a loss and hurt themselves by using too much force.
The global simultaneous launch did not cause the Watchers to lose sight of one thing while focusing on another, and the Watchers' core strength did not suffer any loss. Theoretically, the Special Management Bureau and the Cheka gained a lot from conquering cities in an instant, but the more this happened, the more uneasy they felt. They didn't know where the Watchers had invested their strength, where they would launch a counterattack, and how.
It takes time to digest these gains, and it takes even longer to eliminate hidden dangers and completely wipe out the influence of the Watchers and the United States. The two major organizations have turned their attention to the Skeleton Society and offered very generous conditions, only asking Xia Chuan to continue to act and force out the actual reaction of the Watchers.
"The Russian Far East Fleet has already deployed in Tokyo Bay, and the soldiers are well disciplined. They also admit that the actual interception rate is not as high as advertised. However, they are actually making a statement here, which is equivalent to putting the entire fleet out as a human shield."
"Where is the Special Management Bureau?" Xia Chuan continued to ask.
"Nearly 2,000 medical personnel have arrived, and a large amount of supplies are arriving. Teams from Daxia's four major engineering bureaus are leveling the ground to build shelter hospitals and disaster relief centers. Daxia's Maritime Aid Agency and Disaster Relief Agency have also sent teams to help search and rescue survivors along the coast of Tokyo Bay." Perhaps because she felt that the crisis had been resolved, Erika's voice sounded much more relaxed. "Including the people from the Atomic Energy Agency who came to help earlier, Daxia has nearly 15,000 people in Tokyo. With so many human shields, the Watchers should not be able to launch nuclear bombs again."
"Who knows what those lunatics are thinking right now. Anyway, don't be careless. Stay alert while I'm away."
"You don't have to keep nagging about these things. No one will be careless." Erika said. "The Special Welfare Office and the Cheka have entered Shikoku, Sanyo San'in and Ou according to the previous plan, temporarily helping the organizations there to prevent possible problems. Two air force squadrons of Daxia have been transferred to Fukuoka, and the fighter planes on the Russian aircraft carrier are also ready to take off at any time. Anyone who dares to show up at this time can be wiped out within fifteen minutes."
With the full support of the two major organizations, Neon's security should be much higher than when Natsukawa and Akasaka worked together before. However, Natsukawa is very clear that this cannot be the norm, nor is it the result he wants.
Neon should be freed from the control of the three major powers and become a place where aliens and humans can coexist peacefully and live together under the care of the Skeleton Society. I dare not expect it to be much better than other places, but at least it should be better than when it was a colony of the United States, which can improve the happiness of the people and make them willing to endure the inconvenience and danger that may exist in living with aliens.
This will definitely require a lot of effort from many people, but the most fundamental condition is what he must do now.
"Let's go to Milan," he said to Paul.
Intelligence personnel from the two major agencies worked hard to collect all kinds of information from the United States, including official reactions and actions, military deployments, public opinion, capital confidence and flows, etc., and continuously transmitted them to Natsukawa through Erika.
No matter what the official rhetoric is, the reaction of capital is always the most real and fastest.
The U.S. stock market has been plummeting for several days, which has been followed by huge turmoil and strong dissatisfaction from all walks of life, and has even led most of the world into some kind of crisis.
The US government has taken some measures, but they have not produced any obvious results.
In contrast, many cases of zero-dollar shopping have broken out across the United States, and demonstrations and protests are heating up. Several states have declared a state of emergency, and the National Guard has driven armored vehicles and tanks into cities to maintain order.
Heads of state from various countries have publicly expressed their concerns about the situation in the United States, but only the U.S. government is still trying hard to say that everything is still under control.
What exactly is Agent A planning?
When Xiachuan and Paul made a big circle and landed on a coast somewhere in the southern part of Cactus Country, no one still had an answer to this question.
Chapter 284 Come and stop me
The place where Xia Chuan landed in Mizhou was nearly two thousand kilometers away from the so-called Area 51, and even farther away from several other places suspected to be the hiding places of important member A. But after setting foot on this land, Xia Chuan's feeling in his heart immediately became a little different.
It's like being watched by something.
While the source of Hawaii's power had not been completely cut off, he immediately rushed to the nearest city with Paul and began to follow the same method, setting up an illusion array and summoning thunderclouds, preparing to create an atmosphere again, bring fear, and establish a source of supplies for himself.
To his surprise, what was easily accomplished in Hawaii was not successful in this small city of perhaps 200,000 people on the coast of the Cactus Country.
Faced with the visions he created, people began to panic, but did not immediately succumb to the "four-hour" time limit he gave. Instead, they gathered in groups at the nearest religious places and, under the leadership of the clergy, collectively prayed to the gods they believed in.
Xia Chuan tried to kill several clergymen with lightning, but it did not produce any results except causing more fear.
"People who live in poorer places with less information are more likely to be stubborn and have stronger beliefs?" The shadow of Paul the Octopus once again caused panic among people, but the effect was no stronger than the death of the clergy. "Rich people are more afraid of death and have no position, while poor people are more afraid of betraying their gods and going to hell?"
Xia Chuan observed for a while and found that the people who turned to him to pray were all relatively wealthy people in the city, and their number was quite small, which made him sigh.
Interestingly, he noticed that when these devout believers prayed desperately out of fear, the power of their wishes did not quickly disappear as he had observed in Tokyo in the past because they had no basis or support. Instead, after the power of their wishes was generated, they were quickly attracted by something set up in the religious place and then temporarily stored in a strange way.
It was not a high-end method like the soul jade. After careful inspection, Xia Chuan confirmed that these wishes still contained a lot of emotions and distractions from the praying people, and there were even fierce conflicts and losses between them. They seemed to be temporarily stored here, and then purified through specific formations and items, and finally flowed into a container similar to a crystal bottle. After that, they became relatively pure spiritual power that could be used directly, but the amount was far less than the original wish power, and in his opinion it was almost negligible.
A sense of superiority arises spontaneously.
Afterwards, Xia Chuan immediately realized that there must be an alien presiding over this place on a daily basis, and it is very likely that it is an evil god controlled by the Watcher.
Smog appeared immediately and spread rapidly along the villages, towns and cities, swallowing them up one by one.
Based on Xiachuan's experience in Tokyo, most of the aliens are guys who are greedy for pleasure and pursue a convenient life. As long as conditions permit, they will always run to big cities to enjoy the prosperity of the human world.
There is no reason for an evil god from a place like this to hide in an uninhabited wilderness; its lair must be somewhere densely populated, prosperous and bustling.
Sure enough, he soon found a supercar on the highway that was desperately trying to escape the area, and the person driving it was obviously an evil and ugly guy under the skin.
Xia Chuan immediately chased after him. The poor guy who had to rely on the achievements of human technology to escape was soon caught off guard and bumped into Paul who suddenly appeared in the middle of the road. The skin that served as his body collapsed instantly, exposing the ugly figure hiding inside.
"Master Haiji!" It shouted anxiously while still flying in the air. "Please spare my life, I will..."
Paul wrapped it tightly with his tentacles and sent it in front of Xia Chuan.
"When was the last time you had contact with the Watchers?"
"The day before yesterday!" The evil god answered without hesitation. "Around noon the day before yesterday!"
This was roughly the time when Natsukawa started causing trouble in Hawaii.
"What was the last instruction they gave you?"
"Let me control the minds of the believers and maintain local order. Lord Haizhai, I actually..."
"Stop talking nonsense." Xia Chuan was not interested in listening to it bragging or begging for mercy. For him, the most important thing was to find out what the Watcher and Personnel A were thinking and doing at the moment. "What do you know about Personnel A? No matter what, tell me everything!"
The name of this evil god is Sahir, a monster born and bred in Cactus Land. He is also the one selected by Member A to be used as a tool.
It is precisely because of the support of Key Personnel A that it has the opportunity to transform from an ordinary monster into the evil god it is today, but everything about it is in the control of Key Personnel A. Most of the pure spiritual power converted from the wishes of believers must be handed over to Key Personnel A on a regular basis.
"What about the other important members of the Watch? Don't they know about your existence?"
"Lord Haizhai, a small god like me only knows things related to myself. I am not qualified to know such things!"
"Then how do you know me?" Xia Chuan suddenly asked.
Sahir's face changed, and Paul's tentacles immediately exerted force, making him scream in pain.
"A, you can hear my voice, right?" Xia Chuan said to Sahir.
When he was in Tokyo, A had controlled the bodies of other important figures at will. When Xia Chuan was broadcasting the battle with the evil god not long ago, the blow that pierced his body was most likely the result of A temporarily taking over that guy's body.
If this is the case, then at this moment, A is most likely also using Sahir's body to pay attention to what is happening here, just as he can use the amulet he made to observe the surrounding situation.
Sahil struggled desperately, but after a moment, its movements suddenly stopped.
Paul suddenly screamed, and the tentacles that trapped Sahir's body were suddenly melted by some force, and that force even began to rapidly erode its shadow.
Xiachuan had to help it deal with this power. Sahir had broken free by then and was looking at them with a mocking look.
"A?"
"Haiqi, or should I call you Xiachuan?"
"What on earth do you want to do?"
"You have invaded my territory without permission, but now you ask such a question. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"You were the first to break our agreement!"
"Yes, that's right. So, what are you going to do?" A, who occupied Sahil's body, said calmly. "It's been a long time since such an interesting thing happened, Xia Chuan, I really look forward to you showing me something new and interesting."
This attitude made Xia Chuan not know what to say, but A laughed at this time.
"I will prepare a large magic circle at the place you guessed, which will soon solve all problems at once. What do you think? When you know this, what are you going to do? Come to stop me?"
Sahir's body suddenly began to swell unnaturally, and Xia Chuan immediately took Paul and flashed several times to escape a hundred meters away.
But the explosion did not happen. Its body just burst like a soap bubble, corroding the ground within dozens of meters around it.
"I look forward to your choice, Xiachuan."
Chapter 285 I Really Didn’t Guess
This guy……
Xiachuan suddenly began to understand how Akasaka and Minghe felt when they faced him. He looked up and saw a barren wilderness all around him, with rolling mountains in the distance and the occasional bird flying quickly in the sky.
The feeling of being watched still existed, which made him believe that A must still be somewhere in a corner, staring at him in a way he didn't know.
He doesn't even fight properly. What on earth does this guy want to do?
Xia Chuan had a feeling that A's purpose seemed to be to get him to that place.
"Paul, what do you think? Is what he said true?"
"Master..." Paul pondered as he slowly recovered his body from being eroded by Agent A. "If it were me, I wouldn't lie about this. This is nothing more than a so-called conspiracy. If you go over to stop him, you'll just fall into his trap. If you don't go over, he'll have plenty of time to complete his plan. But... if he really knows the so-called method to 'solve all problems at once', why did he use it now?"
"Because of the price, or because he just happened to figure out the principle of this thing?" Xia Chuan actually agreed with Paul's idea. However, if what A said was true, then he was not the one who suffered the most. Why should he be the first to die?
He immediately passed the news to Erika and asked her to pass it on to the Special Management Bureau and Cheka. They must have arranged a dedicated line and a dedicated person to handle matters related to the Skeleton Society, but the feedback came back immediately after just a few minutes.
"They are a little hesitant, as if they don't quite believe what you said," Erika said.
After all, there was no evidence such as video or audio recordings, just a sentence conveyed by Xia Chuan through the demon fox. It might be very difficult for those politicians to make up their minds to take decisive action against the Watchers and the US mainland at the risk of triggering a nuclear winter.
However, Xia Chuan was not ready to compromise.
"They can use whatever means they can think of to verify A's words. If they don't care, then I won't care either," Xia Chuan said. "Now the whole world says that Xia Chuan is a cult and that I am an evil god. Is there any evil god who can be kidnapped by morality?"
The fox demon couldn't help but laugh: "So what are you going to do? What about us?"
"You guys should find a reliable three-defense facility to hide first. With the soul jades I left behind, you should be able to hold out until I come back." Xia Chuan didn't expect things to develop to this point, but he didn't want to become a fool. "I'll see what happens. If those guys are really indifferent and just want me to die, then I'll just do some damage here and rush back as quickly as possible."
"Do you want me to convey this to you?" Erika laughed again.
"Of course!" Xia Chuan answered without hesitation.
