From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

Xia Chuan looked at her from afar. Although she was half disabled, she still looked very beautiful. Her melancholy expression seemed gentle and pitiful.

What is the relationship between them?

Kinoshita Takashi also looked through his notebook: "She has a half-brother, Kawaguchi Shunsuke, who is the child of Kawaguchi Rena's father and his ex-wife. He is 27 years old according to the information and went to Osaka with his mother. Now I can only find his mother's death record, but not his life trajectory in recent years. I suspect Asakawa Manabu is Kawaguchi Shunsuke. Otherwise, their life trajectories have no intersection, and Asakawa Manabu was not the perpetrator at the time. He has no reason to bear the girl's medical expenses."

[Has Asakawa Manabu come to see her? ]

"I asked the nursing staff, and no one knew Asakawa Manabu. Only the girl's aunt visited her often. He either rarely came or only saw her from a distance. He probably didn't have direct contact with her."

I feel like there's something hidden.

Xia Chuan considered it.

[Find the detailed files of the traffic accident. Also, although it has been a while, let's investigate the inside story of their parents' divorce. Was Kawaguchi Rena born before or after the divorce?]

Kinoshita Takashi was also stunned for a moment: "I will go investigate immediately!"

[It’s okay, there’s no need to rush this matter]

"Yes, thank you." Kinoshita Takashi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

During this period of time, every time he saw crows and mice near his home, he would be so nervous that he couldn't sleep. Now, he can finally rest assured.

Xia Chuan didn't give any new instructions. He waited for a while, then turned and walked towards the parking lot.

At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang and a text message came, telling him that a certain account had just transferred 200,000 yuan to him.

[Well done, keep it up]

"Yes!" Kinoshita Takashi was completely relieved.

#####

Asakawa Manabu was monitoring five monitors at the same time, which corresponded to the police communication system, the major sections of several popular websites in Japan, and several secret websites dedicated to exchanging intelligence.

However, he had already set up a special filtering vocabulary library, and only when these contents were triggered would he need to perform manual operations.

So most of the time, he was just daydreaming.

During this period of time, he was not in the mood to find new ways to make money. Instead, he was always thinking about the mysterious person who called himself Xia Chuan.

He did not wear the amulet sent by Natsukawa like Kinoshita Takaya did, but he did not have the courage to throw it away or burn it, so he could only leave it on the table.

He looked up a lot of information and posted a reward anonymously on intelligence websites, but no one knew what special meaning the name Xia Chuan had. There was no record of similar incidents in the public clues, but he found some suspicious clues on the personal computers of some careless police officials and bought some information on intelligence websites.

Records of new religions, accounts of incidents involving malevolent spirits and evil spirits, and evidence of extensive police cover-ups.

Spirits do exist, and it seems that there are also things like monsters. Most of this information is of no value. If it were in the past, he would just laugh it off, but now, he has specially used a hard drive to store all the relevant content.

Is there anyone who has been held hostage by evil spirits like him? Is there something similar behind all new religions?

How can we escape from this sad and dangerous situation?

"Ding"

A message suddenly popped up, and Asakawa Manabu took a look. Probably because he had been paying attention to and collecting information about supernatural events recently, someone anonymously posted a reward to him through an intelligence website.

Intelligence on a secret organization called the Skeleton Society. Valid information starts from one million and capped at fifty million.

Intelligence on a mysterious figure named Haizhi, with valid information starting from one million and capped at five million.

He casually closed the reward.

Such a high price tag must mean huge trouble, and he is already overwhelmed by his own troubles.

A few minutes later, a message popped up on another computer.

It was an internal police call, and the alarm was triggered because something in it triggered a keyword he had set.

A vicious death was discovered in the Otowa-cho 2-chome residential area in Bunkyo-ku. The scene was chaotic and there were casualties among police officers. The Public Security Special Mobile Investigation Team was urgently requested to provide technical guidance.

This is the content that Xiachuan specifically requested to pay attention to.

After a slight hesitation, Asakawa Manabu dialed the number that Natsukawa left for him.

"Hello? I'm Asakawa."

Chapter 66 Thirteen Skeletons

Otowacho, Bunkyo-ku?

Xia Chuan looked at the map and found that the place was not far from Takino River. He quickly searched among the ears and eyes he had spread out and found a crow rummaging through a garbage dump not far from that place. After a slight hesitation, he provoked it and forced it to fly in that direction.

Even if he was affected by Akasaka's EMP, the consequence would only be the loss of ten strands of spiritual energy, but a vicious death happened so close to his territory, and he immediately asked Akasaka for help, which made him a little concerned.

He was still fighting a battle of wits and courage with the crow in mid-air, but Xia Chuan was now relatively familiar with the habits of this creature. Although he could not make it fly accurately in the direction he wanted like those specially trained crows, he had no problem controlling it to fly in the roughly correct direction.

On the other hand, he was also mobilizing the rats closest to that place to run along the sewer.

The flight was very fast, and it didn't take him long to see several police cars, ambulances and fire trucks. The isolation belt had been put up, and about dozens of ordinary people were stopped outside by the police. Someone in some kind of uniform was explaining something to them.

Xia Chuan deliberately let the crow fly over there and found that there were several gas company repair vehicles parked nearby.

These people were probably asked by Akasaka to leave their homes under the pretext of gas leaks and were isolated in this place. Some of them looked very excited and were loudly questioning the Akasaka staff in the gas company uniforms, while they kept bowing like standard office animals.

The isolation zone is roughly a circle of fifty meters in diameter. In the center is a single-family building that looks nothing out of the ordinary. Surrounding it are similar houses that look much better than those of Arakawa. It should be a residential area for the middle class.

It was just noon at this time, and most people were probably either at school or at work, so not many people were affected.

Xiachuan walked around and saw fully armed Akasaka soldiers hiding in the yards of several houses in the opposite direction of the crowd. Someone was controlling a robot he had seen before and driving it towards the house.

Natsukawa commanded the crow to land near a vehicle that looked like a temporary headquarters. Several Akasaka personnel in plain clothes were anxiously watching the actions of the robots in the distance. On the hood of the car in front of them was a diagram of the internal structure of the house, and on it was a tablet computer that was playing real-time images sent back from the front.

Xia Chuan also came over.

The robot slowly moved forward, and soon it climbed the steps at the door of the house. A human body soon appeared on the screen. It was a policeman in uniform. It was obviously dead for some time, with blood flowing out of its mouth, nose and eyes.

The robot quickly bypassed him, gently opened the half-open door, and slowly drove in.

The light suddenly dimmed, and the image became clear again after a few seconds. Another policeman's body fell in front of the stairs. At this time, the robot suddenly beeped and sounded an alarm!

The image was suddenly cut off, and Xia Chuan felt a surge of energy spreading from the house to the surroundings at an extremely fast speed, hitting him hard and offsetting about two-thirds of his spiritual power. Fortunately, the distance was still relatively far, otherwise, he would have been forced to be disconnected again immediately.

"Robot number two, go!" one of the men standing in front of the car ordered.

It was only then that Xia Chuan noticed that the walkie-talkie they were using looked a little special, and the tablet computer was obviously also specially made, and new images were quickly transmitted over.

It was still a repetition of the previous process, but this time, the robot went straight into the house, passed its stranded counterpart, and went upstairs after a careful confirmation on the first floor.

"Wait! Move the camera up!"

The screen shook slightly, and the suspicious object in the corner of the screen was moved to the center, and everyone gasped.

Four bodies were hung neatly above the stairs, two adults and two children of different sizes, who seemed to be all the members of the family.

"minister……"

"Send the robot upstairs and confirm there are no abnormal reactions before the mobile force moves in."

Xia Chuan couldn't help but let the crow fly over, land on the roof of the house, and then sneaked directly in.

Directly below is the stairwell.

A family of four, a strict father, a gentle mother, a rebellious sister in adolescence, and a confused brother who looks like he is still in elementary school. The father is wearing a suit, the daughter is wearing a school uniform, and the son is also dressed for school, and seems to be getting ready to go out.

Everyone had a smile on their face, which looked particularly creepy in such an environment.

Supporting their bodies are four very awkward-looking metal hooks, which must have taken no more than a few hours to install.

The door was pushed open at this time, and four Akasaka soldiers rushed in. A few minutes later, more people poured in.

"Minister, over at the restaurant..."

Xiachuan saw an investigator who had entered earlier whispering to the person who had given orders before, and out of curiosity, he directed the crows to fly outside the restaurant.

Everyone looked up.

A huge magic circle was drawn with blood on the ceiling of the restaurant. Surrounding the magic circle were twelve different and highly abstract skull patterns. In the center of the magic circle was a picture of a skeleton gazing into the distance through a telescope.

"Skeleton Society? Thirteen skeletons? Skeleton scouts?"

"Kei-si? Isn't it western Tokyo? Rather, western Bunkyo-ku?"

On the dining table facing the center of the magic circle, a dog that had been skinned alive and had its internal organs exposed was placed on a large plate. Next to it were cats and hamsters that had also been cruelly treated. They were also neatly placed on the plate, and even carefully arranged with vegetables and fruits. Four sets of tableware, candles, and wine glasses were neatly placed around these bloody things, as if a banquet was about to begin.

All the lives that lived in this house finally came together.

"There is blood in the cup...but it's human blood or dog or cat blood. We have to take it back for testing to find out." The forensic officer said in shock, not because of the blood in the cup, but because he had never seen such a scene in all these years.

The minister silently took out his phone and said, "Agent Ishino, this is Kiso. Yes, I'm at the scene in Bunkyo Ward. The evil spirit has been dealt with, but you probably need to come over and take a look. Yes, I'll send you the photos of the scene first."

Xia Chuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he laughed out of anger.

He had made up a story in order to help Yui Aoki out of trouble, but he didn't expect that someone would slap him hard in the face so soon.

Is this revenge, provocation, or a challenge?

Or maybe, someone wants to take advantage of the situation and make it even more chaotic?

However, this magic circle...if there is no other meaning, it is really drawn...very well.

#####

"Ding"

The sound was completely different from the normal prompt tone, and Asakawa Manabu immediately knew that "Natsukawa" had come again.

[Add two more targets of attention. Skeleton Society, Skeleton Spy, if anyone is secretly investigating them, tell me immediately]

Skeleton Society? Skeleton Observation?

Asakawa Manabu sat up straight subconsciously.

Why is everyone investigating them?

Chapter 67 Messenger

Ishino Shinjiro stayed in the house where the accident happened for ten minutes and then walked out.

It was getting close to evening and a large number of residents would soon be returning from various places. In order to minimize the impact of this incident, it had to be dealt with as quickly as possible.

"Determine it as a suicide caused by a large amount of loan sharking due to failed investments. Don't expose the police officer's death. Give more compensation and comfort the family." He said to Kiso, who was in charge of the case. "You just focus on the follow-up work. There is no need to follow up on the specific case."

"Yes."

The body was finally put down and secretly transported away disguised as other things. Everything on the dining table was packed up and taken away. Even the roof with the magic circle drawn on it was dug out with special tools, divided into several pieces and taken away for further research.

The forensic personnel did not find any suspicious fingerprints or footprints in the room, no signs of fighting or struggling, and not even any bloodstains.

For ordinary police officers, it is a super unsolved case that is impossible to solve, but for Akasaka, it is just a slightly weird daily routine.

The evil spirits had been eliminated, but there were no conditions in the house that could produce evil spirits, and background checks on all members showed that they were just ordinary people.

Ishino believed that the evil spirit that killed the two policemen had nothing to do with what happened in this house. It was just brought here by some entity and tied up in this place specifically to kill the overly curious neighbors and the police who arrived later to create trouble.

This behavior made him even more angry than the six lives themselves, because it could happen again at any time in any corner of the city.

"Mu Yuan." He dialed the phone.

"Yes." The voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little noisy.

"Is Inaba with you? Where are you guys?"

"I accompanied her back to the magazine office to get something. What happened?" Ishino Shinjiro's voice made Kimoto immediately alert.

"Take her to a safe and secluded place immediately. I will send you the information later. If Haiqi contacts her, you must try to talk to Haiqi directly!"

"I understand." Kimoto hung up the phone, walked quickly towards Inaba Rika who was still chatting with the editors, and gently pulled her from behind.
