From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

"Mr. Matsushige!" Yui said in surprise.

"Yui, this guy is a regular customer too, we know him well, it shouldn't be a problem." A regular customer looked outside with some uneasiness. "If he hadn't just happened to come, I would have given you a ride. I really don't know what's going on, is there going to be a war? Really, why is this happening!"

"Have you forgotten the news? They were probably tracking down terrorists. But it's strange that we're so far away from Odaiba..."

Several regular customers started talking again.

Matsushige Goro's face was solemn, and he seemed ready to drop what he was doing and personally send Aoki Yui home. She had no choice but to agree to his arrangement. Of course, this was also because Natsukawa patted his chest and repeatedly promised to guarantee her safety.

Yui Aoki came here on a bike. Natsukawa wanted to say, "Let me take you home," but she pushed the bike and walked ahead, so he had to give up the idea and follow her.

But after walking not far, Yui Aoki suddenly stopped.

"I'm very sorry, but there's something I must make clear to you, Kamiya-san!"

Wait!

Xia Chuan suddenly had a strange premonition. Could this be...

"I already have someone I like." Aoki Yui said as expected. "He is very, very important to me. Although he has left for the time being, my feelings for him will never change! So... maybe I am being too sentimental, but, Kamiya-san, I think you must know this in advance!"

These words probably consumed all her courage and will. After she finished speaking, her face immediately turned red. Then, she pushed the cart forward at a loss.

This is……

The logical relationship inside is a little confusing, but for some reason, Xia Chuan felt an indescribable happiness in his heart... As expected, I got it wrong from the beginning.

If Yui falls in love with another person so easily, is she still Yui?

It’s just… as this matter has developed to this point, it suddenly feels more and more confusing.

In this situation, how should I tell her that I am actually Xia Chuan himself?

"Yu... Aoki-san." He chased after her with mixed feelings. "Um... Thank you for telling me this."

"Yeah." Yui Aoki nodded vigorously.

The situation became very awkward, so the two walked back to the apartment in silence.

The amazing thing is that he managed to perfectly avoid all the police and Akasaka members on the way.

Then they ran into Kawaguchi Rena.

"Yui, why did you come back early?" She seemed to be preparing to meet Aoki Yui, and when she saw the two of them coming back together, the expression on her face became very strange.

"It's not what you think!" Xia Chuan said before Aoki Yui could. "It's just that I was late for the club activities today and went to Tsuru Manor to eat. Because it's not safe outside, the boss asked me to accompany Aoki-san back."

Aoki Yui nodded silently.

Kawaguchi Reina looked at Natsukawa with suspicion and walked back side by side with her, while Natsukawa followed them silently.

I watched them lock the car silently, followed them upstairs silently, and then said goodbye.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on his door.

It was Yui Aoki who was accompanied by Rena Kawaguchi, and she was holding a bento in her hand.

"Excuse me, Kamiya-san, you haven't had dinner yet, right? This is the lunch box that Mr. Matsushige prepared for me, if you don't mind. He prepared a lot, so..."

"Thank you." Xia Chuan sighed.

So, that’s why you are Yui Aoki!

Chapter 56 The storm is coming

This night is a sleepless night for many people, and for them, this night is a matter of life and death.

There are too many roads leaving Tokyo to completely close them, but under the urging of the Tokyo Watch and the Nemesis Army, all parties have done their best.

Xia Chuan controlled the crow to cruise in the sky and saw dozens of armed helicopters patrolling everywhere, providing fire support, while in the distance, sporadic gunfire was heard from time to time. He didn't know if it was a shooting caused by misunderstanding or if another monster was discovered.

I wonder what those monsters implicated in this will think. Will they hate the Styx Society more for using drastic measures to intensify the conflict and thus bring them a catastrophe, or will they hate the humans who kill them without mercy?

As someone who was likely to be dragged into this, Xia Chuan had mixed feelings.

He himself should be fine, but will the Kiryu Group and the Natsukawa Sect be dug out and killed?

The former has already entered Akasaka's sight, but the risk is slightly smaller, because Akasaka should be able to guess that they have some relationship with Skeleton. As long as they don't fall out with Skeleton, the Kiryu group should not be in danger.

But it is hard to say what will happen to the sect that believes in Natsukawa Daimyojin.

Thirty thousand believers also means thirty thousand risks of exposure. As long as one of them does not have the psychological quality to meet the standards and reveals a flaw when the police come to their door, under the current situation, the case is likely to be magnified and eventually traced back to the culprit.

The situation of a sect is different from that of an ordinary religion. The piety of its believers is certainly much higher, but even if the chance of each person being exposed is very small, it is difficult to say what will happen with such a huge base of 30,000.

Natsukawa then spent the entire night discussing with key members such as Sato Kentaro how to deal with the current dilemma. The final conclusion was that they needed to set up a protective shell as soon as possible, package it as a general new religion, and register it with the Religious Alliance to become a legal religious organization and obtain the qualification to preach.

In this way, they can carry out religious activities under the guise of a legitimate new religion. The difference is that other new religions desperately pretend that gods exist, while they have to desperately pretend that gods do not exist.

Naturally, the sect must establish two systems, one overt and one covert. One system is specifically used to deal with the monitoring and inspection of the sect association, and the other is to maintain the operation of the existing system.

Another problem is that the sect needs to pay painful missionary license fees every year, and with its current revenue model, it will soon be in serious deficit.

The reason why those new religions rack their brains to make money in all kinds of unimaginable ways is not only because of the insatiable greed of their leaders, but also because of the man-eating tiger that is the Zonglian. This is also a factor that cannot be ignored.

"They are all monsters who eat people without leaving any bones!" a key member said indignantly. "They can collect at least trillions of royalties every year. I really don't know where they spend it all?!"

Akasaka...

Natsukawa and Sato Kentaro actually both knew the answer. Akasaka would definitely get the lion's share, and institutions like Kono and Morioka would definitely want a piece of the pie, and Tokyo Watch might also take a portion.

It's a bit ironic that a considerable portion of the expenses of the Skeleton Shrine and the Skeleton Organization should also be paid from it. Therefore, compared with other new religions, Xiachuan actually still has a chance to make up for some of the losses, and the losses are not too serious.

By daybreak, the general plan and principles had been finalized.

The advantage of having a relatively complete system is that, in most cases, Xia Chuan only needs to make requirements and draw a bottom line, and other things can be handed over to the tools to perfect, and he only needs to make the final decision and endorse their plans.

"Take action as quickly as possible, but be careful not to overdo it and expose yourself."

"Yes!" said the backbone members.

Xiachuan was also preparing to go out to school, and Moriyama Chiyu also needed to be reminded. After all, he had just obtained something good from her, and he couldn't just watch her die.

At this time, he heard someone chatting with the administrator downstairs. He seemed to be posting a notice, which attracted people's attention and caused everyone to talk about what happened last night.

This house should still be the property of the sect, so the manager should also be a member of the sect?

Xiachuan didn't pay special attention to the adjustments of the residents, but besides him, there should be several unrelated households who have just moved in recently. I wonder if the abnormal changes in the ownership and tenants of this apartment will attract Akasaka's attention?

When he got to the first floor, the administrator had already returned to the office. Xia Chuan took a look at the notice he had posted. It was something like a public notice from the district office, which briefly explained the current situation and, of course, blamed it on terrorists in the official sense. But the more important content was that the local police station would conduct a household survey in the near future, and hoped that residents would stay at home for inspection according to the time listed on the list.

This kind of thing should be an unimaginable new initiative in Neon, no wonder it has attracted the attention of residents.

"Kamiya-kun, it's great. Have you seen the notice? Is that day okay?" the administrator poked his head out of the office and asked.

"No problem." Xia Chuan nodded with a smile. "I should have finished school by then."

"That's good." The administrator sighed. "This world is really..."

Xia Chuan felt a subtle power of will coming from him, and he was indeed his believer. So, he deliberately passed by the administrator's office and helped him deal with some minor health problems.

"everything will get better."

"Of course, of course." The administrator suddenly felt relieved. He was a little confused. At this time, Yui Aoki and Rena Kawaguchi also came downstairs. He hurried up to explain the content of the notice to them.

It seemed that he did not know their identities.

Kentaro Sato is still reliable in his work.

Xia Chuan nodded and greeted them, then walked out first.

The sun was shining, but there were large clouds in the south sky, as if a storm was brewing.

#####

"Dear K, long time no see!" The black young man who got off the luxury business jet said in an exaggerated tone, threw away the things in his hands and hugged him tightly.

K did not resist, but did not show any special welcome either. He just looked at him silently.

"Don't worry, don't worry!" The black man took off his sunglasses and laughed, showing his white teeth. He looked very sunny. "I have learned my lesson. This time, I promise not to do anything wrong!"

"K." M also walked down from the plane and hugged him.

Behind them, there were four or five members of the Watchers, but they were not important figures, but members of the "Exterminators".

Everyone was carrying an exaggerated package in their hands, and some people even carried their weapons directly on their backs.

"Don't be so serious." The black man laughed again. "Tokyo, ah, it really makes me miss it."

"Welcome, Officer J. Welcome, Officer M." Kuroda Koji welcomed them behind K and asked Akasaka's staff to carry their luggage into the car.

"Kuroda, congratulations!" J patted his shoulder vigorously and then hugged him tightly. "The youngest Akasaka head!"

"It's just a temporary assignment." There was no joy on Kuroda Koji's face. Instead, there was only worry and uneasiness that could not be concealed. "Everyone, please get in the car. I will give you a briefing in the car. I hope it won't take up too much of your time."

Chapter 57 Watcher in Action

"The last time I taught those Cheka guys a lesson, it was not enough." J said. "The people of the Mao Bear family just don't learn their lessons, and they always like to stretch their hands too far. The best way to deal with them is to beat them up every time you see them!"

"Don't forget what you promised before you set off." M sighed and said, "No one wants to start a full-scale war here."

"They must be thinking the same thing. So, as long as we act fast enough and give them a hard blow before anyone can react, they won't say or do anything for the sake of face."

"J, our most important task right now is not to fight the Cheka, but to solve the problem of the Styx Society." K said helplessly.

"In my opinion, this is the same problem." J insisted on his own opinion. "Where did this so-called Styx come from? Why did I never hear about them when I was in Tokyo? If there is no one behind them, how dare they do such a thing? How could they hide it so well?"

"Even if that's true, we can only find their people in Tokyo and kill them, instead of going to Hokkaido to cause trouble. J, as long as I am still in charge of Tokyo, I will never agree to any action that will start a war without evidence."

"Well, how are you going to get them out of their rat holes?" J made a gesture to ask for permission. "They can attack from anywhere and at any time. There is no point in waiting passively. We all know that we can exert 100% of our strength when attacking, but only half when defending! Only by resolutely eradicating all those who dare to provoke us can we usher in true peace."

"What Kuroda is introducing is what we are doing," said K. "If you don't want to listen, you can go to the back and sleep, but don't interrupt him anymore."

"OK, OK." J raised his hand. "Kuroda, my good friend, you can go on. But you must understand that only by pushing back the claws of the Cheka that have secretly extended into Tokyo can the problem be truly resolved."

"So..." Kuroda Koji, holding a tablet, looked at K and M and continued. "We have mobilized 40,000 police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department and various prefectural police departments, 11,000 Self-Defense Forces, 4,000 personnel from various departments in Akasaka, and support troops from the Nemi Army. We have basically blocked all channels in and out of Tokyo, set up strict checkpoints at airports, train stations, and ports, and started from the outer areas and slowly moved inwards to search all houses, places, and residents. As of 8 a.m. today, a total of 11 aliens have been found and killed."

"The area you have blocked has more than 15 million people and is one of the most economically active regions in the world. Even if it is shut down for an hour, the losses will be astronomical. How long do you plan to take to complete the search? How long can you maintain this state?" M asked. "Has a state of emergency been declared now?"

Kuroda Koji glanced at K and said, "Not yet. In fact, we are not planning to search the entire Tokyo. Instead, we hope to use this method to force the enemy to take the initiative and expose themselves."

"The Styx's actions are very aggressive now. As long as they feel they can't get away, they will go berserk. It's impossible to capture them before that with conventional means. And after they go berserk, it's meaningless to capture them." K took over and continued. "That's why I temporarily transferred you here. I hope we can capture live prisoners as soon as possible and find their lair. I'm in charge of the western region, M is in charge of the northern region, J is in charge of the eastern region, and the 'Exterminator' is in the middle to coordinate. Once the target is confirmed, the nearest person will immediately fill in and provide support. Try to deal with them and capture them before they lose their minds. Is there any problem?"

"I'm only responsible for the eastern part?" J shook his head. "Leave the city center to me as well."

"We can't start a war in the city center." K said. "Our strategy is to force them to act from the outside and try to deal with them outside the city center. If we find them in the city center, the 'Exterminators' will immediately clear the area. The incident in Odaiba has already caused serious consequences. At this time, we must not give them an excuse to intervene."

This incident was a huge humiliation for him. "If the Watchmen are unable to maintain law and order in Tokyo, we are always willing to lend a helping hand." Such words appearing during his tenure were not only an insult to him personally, but also a provocation to the Watchmen.

This forced him to reflect on his previous actions, wondering if he was too gentle and too hands-off.

It was because of this that he requested support from the Watcher Headquarters in the shortest possible time, but he did not expect that only J and M had no missions on hand and could leave immediately.

The upside is that both of them are very familiar with the situation in Tokyo, but the downside is that neither of them is willing to follow orders obediently.

But then again, except for a very few, most of the important members of the Watchers are not good kids. It is better to have them than those crazy ones.

However, he still gave himself the responsibility for the more important western part of Tokyo, and handed over the relatively less important northern and eastern parts to J and M.

K actually trusts the quality of the "Exterminators" as the Watchers' rapid response force and would rather leave the five central districts of Tokyo to them.

"That's it," said J.

At this time, the car had already arrived at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation where the incident occurred from Haneda Airport. People got off the bus. The scene had been completely controlled and isolated by the police, and there were no pedestrians around.

Of course, the bodies had been cleared away, but K deliberately asked Akasaka not to clean up the other traces at the scene, but to leave them for others to refer to.

"The security system is completely useless?" M asked.

Before Kuroda Koji could answer, J said, "After all, this thing has been developed for nearly fifteen years. The Cheka must have found a way to crack it long ago."

Kuroda Koji's previous rank was not high enough and he did not have much contact with him, so he could not understand where his hostility towards Lucia came from, but what he said next made Kuroda Koji concerned.

“So it’s better to replace the new equipment as soon as possible.”

"New equipment?"

"It's still under testing, but it's basically finalized. It just so happens that we brought a few of them here this time."

It was only then that Kuroda Koji saw that among the equipment the members of the "Exterminator" were wearing, there were eyepieces on the helmets that he had never seen before.
