From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

Moreover, if it was really the Styx who did this, then they would not have been unprepared. Maybe when they did it, they had all fled to places outside Tokyo.

It's like a fire in the city gate that affects all the fish in the pond.

Suddenly, I heard the freshmen whispering, and then they tiptoed away.

Is it almost time for afternoon classes?

Chiyu Moriyama was a little embarrassed, and finally turned off the TV and game console and walked out.

Xia Chuan then sat up from the sofa.

The freshmen moved quickly and had already assembled the main body of one of the robots. Xia Chuan immediately used puppetry on it, and the robot shook slightly and began to move.

It feels more complicated than controlling animals. After all, they are living creatures with the instinct to act on their own. Although puppets also have simple patterned movements, if they are to perform more complex movements, Xia Chuan must give more specific and clear commands.

However, because of its small size and very flexible joints, Xia Chuan was able to quickly make it run, jump, stand on one leg, and punch after some simple practice.

It’s like controlling the characters in the game with your mind.

Finally, Xia Chuan controlled it and rushed towards the coffee cups that the freshmen had forgotten on the table.

One punch!

With a "click", a noticeable crack appeared on the ceramic cup, but the arm of the robot figure was broken directly.

Plastic things really can't bear much force.

But, this thing should be of some use, right?

Chapter 62: When in Despair, Beat the Bear

Natsukawa was following the routine and just getting by with his life, but the pressure on K and Kuroda Koji was increasing.

Tens of thousands of people were mobilized, causing huge impact and inconvenience to Tokyo, and the people below also complained, but the final result was just the capture of a few monsters without any followers.

They are all monsters who have managed to survive in the cracks under the double oppression of the Styx Society and the Akasaka Society. Their abilities cannot be said to be weak, but they are not very strong either.

If it were the previous situation, there would naturally be no problem, but Tokyo has clearly entered a turbulent period, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to remain isolated as before. After such a big thing happened, they were finally forced to make up their minds to leave Tokyo and go to other big cities.

With their abilities, it was not difficult for them to pass through airport security, and it was not difficult for them to behave like ordinary people in front of Agent Akasaka.

But who could have thought that an important member of the Watcher would actually go to Haneda Airport in person and recognize them all at a glance.

Afterwards, they were caught off guard and held down by K in the sparsely populated terminal hall, and were captured without even a chance to transform.

However, they were unable to confess the information that K expected, so they were quickly and quietly disposed of, leaving only their bodies as the results of this operation and transported back to the Tokyo Watch headquarters.

The news that M almost had a fight with the shrine maidens at the Skeleton Shrine made him anxious for a moment, but then he thought that if he could lure out the Skeleton Watcher, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

In this situation, what he needs most is the Skeleton Society's sources of intelligence and search capabilities.

Anyway, the relationship between M and Haikui was already very tense. As long as she didn't do anything that couldn't be resolved, after Haikui showed up, she would eventually find a way to reconcile with the Skeleton Society. If the Skeleton Society and the Styx Society could fight again, that would be great.

After all, in the previous battle with the Skeleton Organization, K later went to the scene to see with his own eyes that at least seven or eight core members of the Styx Society died there, and the Skeleton Society also exposed its secret base and has not even shown up since then. It is obvious that it also suffered a great loss.

Even humans cannot forget hatred, let alone monsters and aliens?

Unfortunately, M gave up halfway and failed to reveal the hidden card of the Skeleton Shrine.

J was also a worry for him. Unlike M, who was lazy and didn't stay in the Skeleton Shrine every day to chat with people, he flew around in a helicopter and found several monsters who tried to escape from Tokyo and captured them cleanly and neatly.

The result was also that no information about the Styx Society was obtained, but what troubled K was that in the following days, probably because there was no more gain, important officer J started to slack off from his job and went to Yoshiwara to kill time. The key point was that, for some reason, he had a falling out with several Cheka representatives in Tokyo.

The opponent was just an ordinary Cheka member. How could he be his opponent? Although he was not killed, he suffered a great loss.

Russia's official protest quickly reached the Neon Ministry of Foreign Affairs and was transferred to K at the fastest speed, which made K very embarrassed. After all, the Cheka people in Tokyo were acting as diplomats. Even if they were really involved in this incident, the Watchers could not take action against them without solid evidence.

Otherwise, the United States has a large number of diplomats in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. If Russia takes reciprocal measures in those places, how should they respond?

The other party's attitude was also quite tough, as if they were saying that if you don't resolve this matter properly, we will deal with it ourselves.

The previous things are not over yet. If we have another fight with the Lucia people, Tokyo will be plunged into complete chaos.

"J, I can understand your hatred for the Cheka, but do you know what consequences your actions will bring?"

"I was deliberately provoking them." J said indifferently. "If we don't alarm them, how can we know how many more enemies they have planted in Tokyo in the past few years? If they really dare to attack me, it would be great. Kanto is the territory under our control anyway. We can't touch those with diplomatic immunity, so can't we touch those who sneaked in with other identities?"

"Do you want to start a war?"

"War?" J sneered. "Why didn't D's death in Bohemia cause a war? Why didn't T's loss of a hand in Norway cause a war? Are they the only ones who can kill our people and attack us, but we can't do anything?"

“The situation in Neon and Europe is different.”

"There is no difference. The only difference is that they are more fierce and fearless, while we always worry too much."

"What if this matter has nothing to do with them? Wouldn't it just make more enemies for ourselves if we mess with them?"

J laughed loudly. "Even if we don't attack them, will they be our allies? The war has never ended, it just moved from the surface to underwater. K, this is what you taught us, you haven't forgotten it, have you?"

He grabbed K's shoulders and said firmly: "Do you really think that this approach can find out the people who did those things? If things drag on like this, the situation will only get worse and worse. Everyone will think that we have become weak, cowardly, and incompetent. At that time, even if the Cheka did nothing, they will have the idea of ​​doing something. On the contrary, as long as we do something big and let everyone see that we are still the powerful, decisive, swift, reckless, unscrupulous and fearless organization, then what does it matter even if they didn't do it? Has the relationship between us ever been better?"

"Whether we find the real murderer or not, whether we find the truth or not is not important at all." He said to K. "What is important is to make people believe that we have found the real murderer and solved the problem. Will the Styx Society come out at this time and say that we are wrong, that they did it and it has nothing to do with the Cheka? As long as we are strong enough and powerful enough, the Cheka will not hate us, but the Styx Society that deliberately left information pointing to them after creating trouble. At that time, with our joint pursuit, will we still worry about not being able to find them?"

K fell silent.

J's idea is crazy and mixed with too many personal grudges, but it is not completely unfeasible.

But things don't have to go to the extent he said.

"Kuroda." He took out his phone.

"Yes, Mr. K. What do you want?"

"We have received reliable intelligence that the Cheka may be involved in the incident in Odaiba."

This news completely shocked Kuroda Mitsuru. Where did this new information come from?

"Sir, we are now..."

"Whatever method you use, find the evidence!" K said. "I want to hand over the conclusive evidence to the Cheka representative before eight o'clock tonight."

Chapter 63 Roppongi Operation

It took Kuroda Koji several minutes to truly understand K's subtext, and cold sweat almost completely soaked his back.

We received reliable intelligence that the incident was related to the Cheka, but Akasaka was asked to provide "conclusive" evidence, and a clear deadline was given... Doesn't that mean they were asked to find a way to "find" the evidence?

If the incident really had the shadow of the Cheka, that would be fine, but if not, what consequences will Akasaka, who forged the "evidence", face?

Tokyo Watch would never step forward to share the pressure for them, otherwise, they would be able to "find" evidence themselves and there would be no need for Akasaka to intervene.

K's request now clearly means that he wants Akasaka to take the blame and bear the possible consequences.

Kuroda Koji sneered.

This is the Tokyo Watcher who built New Akasaka but also has a tight grip on their throats.

It is like this now, it was like this in the past, and it will certainly be like this in the future.

He immediately called the heads of relevant departments to his office and conveyed K's order to them.

"How can this be possible!" Someone immediately objected. "If we do this, all the responsibility will be ours, and we simply cannot afford such consequences! The Cheka people are all crazy! They will always cause trouble without any excuses, and we can't give them..."

"Do you think we have the power to refuse or choose?" Kuroda Koji said. "K is not asking for our opinions, but asking us to execute."

Just a few days ago, these people were at the same level as him, and he had not had time to make any adjustments or changes to Akasaka. Although he was helpless, he could only use K to force these people to obey his orders.

"The only thing we can do is to create impeccable evidence that cannot be blamed on us even if something goes wrong!" He checked his watch. "K's deadline is 8pm. Ladies and gentlemen, there are only six hours left."

"It's impossible for us to find impeccable 'evidence' in such a short time!" said the head of another department.

"We only have six hours," Kuroda said. "If we can't finish it, please come with me to see K. We'll explain it to him and take responsibility together."

#####

"There's no need to go through all this trouble." J still disagreed with K's approach.

"I'm still in charge here," K said. "If you still think you're a member of the Watchers, then stop talking and do what you're supposed to do."

Surprisingly, two hours later, Kuroda Koji sent some video clips from the road surveillance system.

"We saw the car on the road surveillance camera on the north side of the National Museum of Science and Technology." He was sweating profusely, but he didn't bother to wipe it off. "It stopped at this place an hour before the incident, when the guests should have been entering. Then, almost at the same time as the incident, it suddenly left."

J whistled loudly.

"We looked for its traces on the road monitoring system along the way and tracked it all the way to Roppongi. Although it did not drive directly into the Lucia Embassy, ​​it entered a nearby underground parking lot. There is a Lucia restaurant on the second floor of this parking lot, and most of the upper floors are apartments specifically for foreigners. We then investigated the owner of the car and related information and found that it nominally belonged to a trading company, but had been active in Roppongi for a long time."

This is not direct evidence, and it is an isolated piece of evidence, but in the world of extraordinary people, a very strict chain of evidence is often not required.

"Are there no frontal videos and photos?" K asked seriously.

"I'm so sorry!" said Kuroda Koji.

"Where is this car now?"

"It hasn't moved since the incident." Kuroda Koji felt a chill on his back. Can such "evidence" satisfy K and J?

"Let me deal with them!" J said impatiently. "I will definitely find more evidence! K, what are you still hesitating about?"

"Call M and the Exterminator over here," K said at last. "That place is too sensitive. If we are going to do it, we must solve the problem once and for all without leaving any residue behind."

"Kuroda." He said to Kuroda Koji. "Pick out your best men and wait for my order nearby! Keep it strictly confidential!"

"Yes!"

The target was actually very close to the Akasaka headquarters. Kuroda Koji kept issuing orders with a nervous mood, and transferred the backbone members of Akasaka back from various places in Tokyo and asked them to stand by near Roppongi according to K's orders.

This area has many embassies of various countries, hotels, restaurants, bars and high-end clubs specifically for foreigners, and of course large shopping malls and entertainment venues. If the situation gets out of control, the impact will be greater than the Odaiba incident.

"Temporary agent Kuroda, we..."

One of his subordinates said uneasily, but Kuroda Koji immediately stopped him from continuing.

"We are just supporting roles in this matter, so don't try too hard."

"The target could be at Lucia's restaurant on the second floor or any of the apartments upstairs," K said.

"No further information?" M raised his eyebrows.

"The background of the company responsible for the security of this building is somewhat suspicious. In order to avoid alerting them, Akasaka has not yet conducted an official investigation, so there is no surveillance video or detailed information about the residents." K said. "Let's go to the restaurant on the second floor to confirm first. If the target is not there, I will immediately have Akasaka block the apartment floor and elevator passage, and ask the security company for surveillance video and resident information. M and "Exterminator" will make sure no one escapes outside the building, and J and I will make sure no one escapes inside and search upwards floor by floor."

"That building has 33 floors. Wouldn't this be too inefficient?" M asked.

"We must ensure that the situation is always under our control." K looked at the tall buildings nearby and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Let's take action!" he said in a firm tone.

There was nothing suspicious about the Lucia Restaurant on the second floor, and it did not look like a Cheka contact station, so they did not stay there for long. Instead, they immediately gave orders to Kuroda Koji and headed upstairs.

M walked out of the platform, and the Akasaka people began to quickly enter each floor and wait in accordance with the previous arrangement, while Kuroda Koji personally led people to negotiate with the front desk, asking them to immediately pull out the surveillance video and hand over the detailed information of all residents.

"We are here..."

"This involves national security, please cooperate immediately!" A large number of agents went directly into the office area, drove them away from their seats, and at the same time confirmed that there was no hidden alarm system.

Under such circumstances, the other party only put up a little resistance, and then immediately acted according to their demands and handed over everything they wanted.

The occupancy rate was high, and the vast majority of the residents were foreigners, including diplomats and their families, which made K's uneasiness even more intense.

But now that things have come to this, there is no possibility of stopping.

“Which floor do we start from?” J asked eagerly.

There are nine suspected targets, scattered across seven floors. Of course, if they don’t find anything, they won’t let go of the other floors.

"7th floor." said K.

Chapter 64 Roppongi Operation (2)

K had previously asked Kuroda Koji to produce the "evidence" before eight o'clock, claiming that he would hand it over to the Cheka office, but after what seemed to be real evidence appeared, he chose to act at eleven o'clock at night.

During this time, most people have returned home, there are the fewest pedestrians outside, the chance of accidental injury is the lowest, and the number of witnesses is the lowest. Although there are some inconveniences, after considering the pros and cons, it is the best time to act.

The elevator was sealed and landed at the ground floor. The stairwell was controlled by Akasaka agents, who began to investigate one by one the suspected targets identified by K as police officers. Outside the building, three helicopters were circling around it, monitoring the reactions of the residents in the apartment with infrared detectors.

Most people chose to stay in bed even after hearing the sound of the helicopter. A few people got up and went to the window to look at the helicopter outside, while an extremely small number made suspicious reactions.
