From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

"Master Haizhi, he wants to know more information beyond the documents. What are the characteristics of the seal? The exact location of the center point, the exact degree to which the other party broke free from the seal, the more details the better."

"Why is it so troublesome?!"

Xia Chuan had already reached the entrance of the cave, and Yiyou's shadow was waiting for him there, but he had not walked out of the cave.

"Haiqi, there's still time to change your mind."

"There is about 60 meters of space above the seal stone..." Xia Chuan has already started to describe to K everything he saw before about the seal through Inaba Rika. "...Tell them to be careful and not to use EMP recklessly. Who knows if it will destroy the power of the seal."

"The fighter planes have already set off." Inaba Rika's voice sounded a little uneasy. "Lord Haitai, they have decided to blow up that mountain and bury Yiyou completely underneath it!"

Chapter 258 Bury You

Is it really that simple and crude?

But I like it.

Xia Chuan looked at Yi You's shadow with malice. He was still talking to Xia Chuan, trying to convince the Skeleton Society to cooperate with him.

But after those stone tablets were destroyed by Yiyou's skeleton manipulation, Xiachuan actually had no interest in this place.

If he hadn't wanted to see Yiyou being buried with his own eyes, he would have been ready to leave now.

"Yuriko, leave now!" He suddenly remembered that the three raccoon cats were still nearby.

Although they were still some distance away from the cave, who knew how big the explosion plan made by Tokyo Watch was? If it was a super-large explosion that would collapse the entire mountain, then where they were now could not be said to be safe.

"Haizhi? Do you understand what I mean?" Yiyou talked for a long time without seeing any response from him, and finally became a little angry.

"You've obviously already controlled Akai Mitsuharu and the others, why are you still messing with me?" Xia Chuan decided to take advantage of the last minute to get this matter cleared up. Of course, what Yiyou said was definitely just his one-sided story, but at least it could be used as a reference. "Do you think the skeleton will be a soft persimmon that's easy to pick on?"

"Of course not!" Yiyou said without hesitation. "Because in Akai Mitsuharu's memory, the Skeleton Society is a better partner than the Styx Society. You are more trustworthy and do not bully the weak."

Reputation?

What would cooperation between different species look like? Xia Chuan still didn't quite understand it.

But from what he had seen so far, there was no equality among the monsters, whether in the Styx Society or the Clear Sky Society.

What they pursue is the order of the survival of the fittest. So how can there be so-called "equality" among them? How can there be "credibility" between the strong and the weak?

Xia Chuan didn't believe that this was the real reason why Yiyou approached the Skeleton Society, so... he suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Is it because of the spiritual power I traded to Akai Mitsuharu?"

If you think about it this way, Akai Mitsuharu's previous actions can be explained.

Even though he had been cursed and his life was in danger, he did not ask Xia Chuan for help immediately. Instead, he mentioned the curse only after completing the transaction and swallowing all 2,000 strands of spiritual energy.

Yiyou was silent for a moment, then replied: "I don't deny that this is one of the reasons, Haizhai, but it doesn't harm you."

Is it that there is no time, or is it that there is no time?

There was a strange noise in the sky, and Xia Chuan suddenly began to retreat and drilled underground. Yi You was a little surprised. The next moment, a huge explosion suddenly erupted on the mountain above their heads. A large amount of soil mixed with rocks and trees rolled down and flooded the cave like a tide.

A moment later, the explosion was heard again, and this time, the missile directly hit the side of the cave closest to the ground. Xia Chuan could feel that the explosion did not occur on the surface, but thirty or forty meters underground. The entire land even trembled slightly.

The original structure of the cave was damaged and large sections of the rock walls collapsed.

After the third and fourth explosions, the appearance of the mountain had changed greatly. Xia Chuan explored the soil towards the location of the previous caves and found that most of the passages had collapsed. The two caves whose locations and conditions K had specifically asked him about had collapsed even more completely. The rocks on the top of the caves had all fallen down, burying them firmly, leaving only a small space.

He went out of his way to see the huge rock that sealed Yiyou. It was now tightly pressed underneath by a large amount of rubble, but the shimenawa and talismans wrapped around it did not seem to be greatly affected.

This method probably cannot strengthen the seal, but Yiyou still wants to bring the surrounding creatures here to devour them as before, which is obviously impossible.

At least not before he dug this tunnel.

Yi You's shadow suddenly appeared in front of him again: "It's you?!"

The sound of explosions continued to come from above, but in this place deep underground, no further changes could be felt.

"You will..." Yiyou suddenly began to recite quickly in a low voice. A large amount of black gas emerged from around the huge rock and rushed towards Xiachuan, but it did not attack directly, but tried to drill into his body.

Is this... a curse?

Xiachuan immediately released his divine body state, and the next moment, his consciousness had returned to the divine mirror of the Xiachuan Daimyojin sect. He carefully checked his surroundings and his own body to make sure that the curse had not followed him across time and space. Then, he immediately switched back to Kiyokawa Yuriko.

Three civet cats were running frantically in the forest. Behind them, the mountain was still being bombarded, and large amounts of soil and rocks were continuously falling.

When the bombing finally stopped, the towering mountain no longer existed, replaced by a huge mound of earth with the cave seal as the approximate center.

A helicopter is flying to this place. It should be someone sent by the Takano Agency that manages this area.

"K wants to talk to you." Inaba Rika's voice sounded again. "Master Mukuro, we are rushing to that place by helicopter!"

"Yuriko, keep running. Get to a safe place as soon as possible before Takano's people arrive." After giving orders to the raccoon cats, Natsukawa quickly switched to Inaba Rika's side.

"Mr. Haibi, long time no see." He had just emerged from the amulet when K spotted him. "Are you satisfied with our actions?"

"Should I be satisfied?" Xia Chuan asked back. "This is not for me."

"Of course not. But to take such action in such a short time requires not only power and determination, but also trust between us. And the latter is the most important, Mr. Mukuroku, don't you think so?"

Although K's tone was not very good, Xia Chuan had to admit that there was nothing wrong with what he said.

The Tokyo Watch had not actually seen Yiyou in person, nor had they seen the cave, nor did they have any more information to prove that the threat here was real, but they took immediate action simply because of his warning.

Although the bombing was not in a prosperous area, but a mountain between Toyama and Ishikawa counties, and there were not even many people around, for K, all he had to pay was some ammunition, and there would not be much political pressure.

But he couldn't completely deny that there was indeed some kind of trust relationship involved.

"If that's the case, I'm indeed very satisfied." Xia Chuan simply nodded.

"This is to repay the Skeleton Society for its help to Akasaka. I hope that the trust between us can be strengthened gradually." K said with a smile. "If there is a chance, I would like to ask the Skeleton Society to send a member to the United States to take a look and understand how the supernatural powers survive in the United States. Mr. Mukuro, I have always hoped that you can understand and accept the rules of this world and become a member with positive significance in the existing world order."

Chapter 259 Declaration of War Preview

"I will pass this invitation on to other members." Xia Chuan said calmly, and then asked: "What are you going to do next?"

"If Mr. Kaiju has no other suggestions, then what we have to do next is to list this area as a restricted zone in the name of geological hazards, and at the same time increase the number of wanted monsters you mentioned, and cut off all contact between the sealed guy and the outside world. The Kono Organization will regularly conduct aerial surveillance of this area, and will also secretly install abnormal wave testers and cameras around for monitoring. If there are no other accidents, according to our past experience, such guys should gradually lose their strength and eventually die completely underground."

Xia Chuan actually had a lot of questions to ask, but the Skeleton Society couldn't afford to fall in front of the Tokyo Watchers, so he could only nod and say, "Very thorough."

The helicopter quickly arrived near the collapsed mountain. From this angle, the situation at the scene was shocking.

"Mr. Haizhai, do you want to go downstairs for a walk?" K asked.

"Okay." Xia Chuan replied.

At this moment, he came down through the magatama on Inaba Rika's body, so Inaba Rika could only follow him.

Xia Chuan could only leave the Soul Jade about 150 meters away. He said hello to K and dived underground. The place where they landed was supposed to be on the north side of the seals, about 70 to 80 meters from the ground, but now it was affected by the collapse of the cave and covered by a large amount of soil and rocks. Xia Chuan couldn't walk from the ground to the original location between the seals. He wandered around for a while, but didn't meet Yi You. He didn't know where he ran to.

"How was it?" K asked somewhat proudly when he returned to the ground.

"The explosion was very successful." Xia Chuan replied.

They walked along the ground and confirmed that the average thickness of the soil and rock layer above the seals was more than two hundred meters. Along the way, K asked Xia Chuan again for information about Yi You. Xia Chuan could only pick out the parts that were not related to him and told him as much detail as possible.

"The type that is good at cursing? Then we need to set up more things in this place." K immediately called the head of the Takano Agency and asked them to add the plan of regularly placing poison baits and spraying defoliants in the vicinity.

"There are hidden dangers like this in mountainous areas, but it doesn't matter. This place will soon become a dead zone. We won't leave any possible medium for him to cast spells."

Although he didn't think it was necessary to go to this extent, it wasn't a bad thing for Xiachuan that the Tokyo Watch was willing to invest such manpower and material resources to eliminate Yiyou.

Xia Chuan felt that he was unlucky enough to be targeted by such a guy for no reason, not only did he not gain any benefits but also got into trouble.

"Why don't you just let Yui do the Katsura Dance for me and then the Maple Dance for me to pray for good luck?"

#####

Rika Inaba returned to Tokyo on the same plane with K again, and Natsukawa, who was unwilling to play along with him anymore, moved back to Kiyokawa Yuriko and the others to check on their situation.

The three raccoon cats have fled to the city of Toyama, which is completely unfamiliar to them. They can only disguise themselves as tourists and prepare to take the nearest Hokuriku Shinkansen back to Tokyo.

The train was still a long way from arriving, so the raccoons quickly sneaked into a nearby restaurant and began to taste Toyama's most famous local cuisine.

"Be careful of Akai Mitsuharu!" Natsukawa reminded them not to be overly obsessed with Toyama's delicacies, but to pay more attention to the monsters from the Clear Sky Society who were still roaming around.

"Yes, yes." The civet cats' attention was completely attracted by the food. They just answered while eating, probably without understanding what he was saying at all.

I can't stand them...

Xia Chuan simply floated outside the restaurant, observing the surrounding environment while thinking.

If everything was Yiyou's trick, then it is very likely that the time when Akai Mitsuharu and other monsters contacted him was not two weeks ago, but longer ago.

Yiyou probably couldn't have predicted his own reaction, and certainly couldn't have predicted the current result, but Xia Chuan couldn't imagine what his original plan was.

We will probably only know all this after we catch Akai Mitsuharu and the others.

But... the members of the Clear Sky Society are probably far more than the few he has seen before. God knows how many monsters controlled by Yiyou are still active out there?

It's so unlucky. The problems of the Styx Society haven't been solved yet, and now there's a new Clear Sky Society, and this Clear Sky Society is backed by the ancient gods.

Yiyou really couldn't escape, but who knows if he taught Akai Mitsuharu and the others any curse spells?

Xia Chuan became more and more annoyed, so he rushed back to the restaurant and gave the raccoon cats a slap: "Stop eating, get to the station quickly!"

"But..." Takahata's mouth was already full, but he still refused to give up when looking at the things on the table. He took advantage of Xiachuan's inattention and suddenly pounced back on the table, continuing to stuff things into his mouth desperately. This action made Xiachuan alert.

No matter how greedy the raccoon cat is, it is impossible for it to disobey itself like this, right?

"Open your mouth! Spit it out!" he ordered immediately.

"No, how can I eat something so delicious..." Takahata muttered while swallowing desperately.

Yuriko Kiyokawa and Yoshiyama were both stunned. Takahata's condition was obviously not right, but... Natsukawa went straight into his body, and after a moment, he found a few tiny, extremely strange-looking bugs in his stomach.

They should have died from the erosion of stomach acid long ago, but instead of doing so, their sharp stingers had pierced Takahata's stomach wall and were trying to drill into his blood vessels.

Natsukawa killed them immediately, and then he checked the digestive tracts of Kiyokawa Yuriko and Yoshiyama and found that there were similar worms in them as well, but they had not had time to drill into the stomach wall.

Yuriko Kiyokawa, who was a little particular about her eating manners, even had a few unhatched worm eggs in her stomach. They were mixed in with the food, and it was impossible to tell what food they were hidden in before being eaten.

Xia Chuan immediately stimulated the stomachs of the three people and asked them to vomit out everything they had just eaten.

The diners around screamed, and the store owner ran over in panic: "Guest, what are you doing... Quick, someone go call the emergency number!"

"No, we're fine. Sorry, that's so rude!" Yuriko Kiyokawa said strugglingly after getting an explanation from Natsukawa, while putting three times the meal money on the table. "I'm sorry, please take care of it, I'm so sorry!"

Xia Chuan had already checked the kitchen by this time and did not find any suspicious people or objects, but the other party's choice to do this was undoubtedly a provocation to him.

"Sorry, we'll go to the station right away." Yuriko Kiyokawa pulled Takahata and Yoshiyama out of the restaurant.

"No." Xia Chuan said. "Refund the ticket and find a place to stay. I want to see what other tricks they can come up with."

Chapter 260: Alarming the Snake

Xia Chuan felt that he was not a tough person, but he really could not tolerate this matter.

Why does Yiyou feel that he is easy to mess with and treat himself as a target so recklessly?

He couldn't understand.

"Do you think I'm easy to mess with? Before you get to know me?" Late at night, he couldn't help but run to Hitomi Kamio and asked her in his dream.

"A little bit, probably." Kamio Hitomi answered leisurely.

"Why?!" Xia Chuan asked immediately.

"I don't know." Kamio Hitomi shook her head. "Because you're not cruel enough, not ruthless enough? You should know that there is no fairness between monsters, especially between the strong and the weak. If you don't take whatever the weak monsters want, and don't boss them around, then in the eyes of those who know these things, you are definitely not a strong person. In particular, you don't even want to see humans die, so for the monsters, no matter how strong you are, you won't make them feel afraid."

"Does one have to have blood on his hands to be considered a strong person?" Xia Chuan's first reaction to such logic was absurdity, but he had to admit that perhaps for monsters and aliens, this was their perception.

"Does Tokyo Watch feel the same way?"

"That's not necessarily true. After all, they have actually dealt with you and fought with you. Just like the Styx Society, they lost so many members at your hands, and they will never regard you as a weakling. Otherwise, it would be a mockery of themselves. However, those aliens who have only heard of you or are just casually acquainted with you probably think so, right?"

Shimazaki House?

The first thing Xiachuan thought of was the monsters from Onitsuka’s faction. They did not consider themselves as weaklings.

"To have achieved their level, they should have sufficient sources of information to let them know the truth. Moreover, they are able to thrive in the modern society dominated by humans, so their ideas must be very different from those of ordinary monsters. However, Yiyou is not a monster like them. His source of information is probably just the monsters of the Clear Sky Society? In that case, he would misjudge your strength and regard you as a target. Isn't that normal?"

I can understand it, but Xia Chuan will not accept this result.
