From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

"Now no one will disturb us." Long Qingting's tone sounded very relaxed, but J's chest felt as if a large lump of spoiled lard was suddenly forced into it, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Long, what are you doing..."

"Since it's a conversation, it should be conducted under the premise of fairness. Otherwise, I can't say that my position remains neutral." Long Qingting answered calmly. "So, Natalie, have you calmed down?"

The silver werewolf's recovery ability had actually allowed her damaged cervical vertebrae to begin to heal, but the reason she hadn't taken action was not because she wanted to launch a sneak attack at the most appropriate time, but because she was a little confused about how the guy in front of her had stopped the process of burning his soul?

This is the most powerful secret of the Holy Wolf clan, but it is also the cruelest secret.

Once the soul begins to burn, it cannot be stopped. Doing so can give them terrifying destructive power, but it also means embarking on a path of no return to hell.

If she had not been entangled for too long, the puppets were gradually dying, she could not see the hope of victory and could not accept the consequences of failure again, she would not have lost her mind and made such a choice.

"I could have killed him, but you stopped me. Do you still have the nerve to say that you remain neutral?" She got up from the ground and growled in a low voice.

"But I also stopped you from killing yourself didn't I?"

"Do you think I can walk out of this place alive?" asked the silver werewolf with a sneer.

"If the negotiation is successful, then we can." Long Qingting said. "If the negotiation is not successful, then you can fight again. I will ensure that the environment in which you fight is exactly the same as before, without any external interference. If you are still willing to exchange your life for his at that time, then I will never stop you from doing so again."

"Wait a minute!" Such a statement was unacceptable to J. "What do you mean by 'the battle environment is exactly the same as before'?"

"It means exactly what it says." Long Qingting said. "Just restore it to the state it was in when I intervened."

"You must be kidding!" J couldn't help but take a step back. "When you intervened, her claws were already digging into my chest!"

"Yes, it is restored to that state." Long Qingting answered as a matter of course. "Her soul began to burn, and you were on the verge of death."

"Are you crazy?" J said subconsciously.

"Are you questioning me?" Long Qingting asked. "I never joke about this kind of thing."

He was still smiling, but J immediately realized that this guy only looked gentle, but in reality, he might be the craziest person in the room.

"Is everyone calm and has no questions?" Long Qingting clapped his hands. "Then, please start talking!"

J had never encountered such a situation before. It was obvious that if he did not accept the other party's request, death would be waiting for him.

Under such circumstances, what can he talk about?

This guy keeps saying that he doesn't represent anyone but himself, but is that possible?

What exactly do they want to do?

What on earth happened in Tokyo that could attract both the Special Management Bureau and the Cheka?

The silver werewolf was also speechless. After experiencing the pain of a burning soul, she was never willing to do the same thing rashly again. If she was given the opportunity to choose, she would remain patient and resilient like the wolf pack instead of risking everything.

However, under the current circumstances, she could not agree that this was a fair and reasonable negotiation. Besides, she had nothing to discuss.

Then, there is only one outcome.

Both of them chose to remain silent, so Long Qingting asked: "So, your answer is to refuse peace talks?"

"Wait a minute!" J said immediately. "This incident was not instigated by the Watchers! It was the Cheka that first violated the peace agreement! Both the post-war peace agreement and the tripartite co-management agreement clearly state that the mind controllers and the original werewolves are not allowed to leave Lucia! Long, you are also a signatory to these two agreements. Aren't they challenging the peace and order established by the three of us?"

The silver wolf roared, "Who has repeatedly invaded Central Asia, Eastern Europe and the Balkans, fostering and funding separatists, wantonly creating confrontation, division, hatred and massacres? Who has repeatedly 'mistakenly entered' the Black Forest, deliberately causing accidents in the polar regions and destroying the habitat of the direwolves? When you were training shamans for the separatist tribes, why didn't you think that it was a violation of the peace agreement?"

"These are all lies and prejudices," J argued loudly. "They were all spontaneous actions by the people caused by Lucia's tyranny, and have nothing to do with the Watchers. Moreover, the destruction of the direwolf habitat has nothing to do with us! The accident happened to Neon's polar research ship. Who knew they would use an old-fashioned nuclear power plant with potential safety hazards?! And who could have predicted that there would be a blizzard at that time that would deviate them from their course?"

"Mr. J, you seem to understand this matter very clearly." Long Qingting suddenly said.

"It is because the Cheka keeps using this matter to question us that we have to get things straight!"

"There is nothing to talk about!" The silver wolf roared. "Dragon! If you really want to remain neutral, then keep your promise! I swear I will kill everyone outside, and no one will know you were here!"

"If necessary, I will do it myself, so you don't need to bother me." Long Qingting said with a smile. "I agree that the Watcher is the biggest cancer in the world. However, if we try to destroy it now, the trouble we will cause will probably be far more serious than keeping it for the time being. Besides, it doesn't matter if you two die, but after you die, how will things end? Just keep fighting like this with endless escalation?

After all, this country is jointly managed by the three of us according to the agreement, and we all have a lot of investment and interests here. You should all be very clear about our country's consistent diplomatic stance. If you two go too far, we will also be in a difficult position. "

"So what's your opinion?" J asked immediately.

"It's not 'our' opinion, but my personal suggestion. If you can still walk out of this place alive, please remember this." Long Qingting said. "The Watch lost an important member K, the Cheka lost Commissioner Anders # Ivanov, and both of you lost many loyal subordinates. In this case, I think it is the most rational and reasonable choice to end this dispute and return things to the situation before the conflict broke out to avoid more innocent deaths."

"This is impossible!"

"no way!"

Out of face on the one hand and honor on the other, J and the silver werewolf expressed their opposition at the same time. Long Qingting smiled and suddenly reached out to grab them both at the same time and threw them heavily to the ground.

"You barbarians, you just can't understand when I talk to you nicely, right?" He was still smiling, but the two men who had completely lost their ability to move could no longer take his words as advice.

"You can fight, but get out of Japan, East Asia and Southeast Asia. Wherever you two like to fight, whatever the situation is, it has nothing to do with us... um, sorry, it has nothing to do with me. But if you insist on causing trouble here, then don't blame me for getting involved. I can't guarantee anything else, but I can guarantee that by that time, you and those old guys behind you will regret not taking my advice today."

He released the two men, but it took them several minutes to regain the ability to breathe and move.

"So, what problems do you have now?" Long Qingting asked with a smile.

"I don't have the final say on this matter." J looked at the silver wolf. "You should know that M is also in Tokyo, and A..."

"This is none of my business." Long Qingting said. "Natalie?"

"Why have I never heard of your name?" the silver werewolf asked back.

"Because I'm still a newcomer." Long Qingting replied. "This is my first time going abroad, um, for a vacation trip. However, if you don't die so soon, we should have many opportunities to meet in the future. I hope we can have as much fun as we did today."

"Are we just going to walk out like this?" asked the silver werewolf.

"Of course." Long Qingting replied. "What else can we do? J, what do you think?"

"I'll take you out." J said decisively.

Chapter 88 The Truth

The werewolves that rushed into the Imperial Palace have been wiped out, without exception, but J, who is most important to the watchers, is still trapped in the east wing of the second floor and is still out of contact.

Just as people were trying to cut an entrance in one of the steel partitions, the outer wall of the east wing suddenly exploded violently. A piece of steel plate swelled up like a balloon and then burst outward, revealing an opening more than one person tall.

J's figure appeared at the entrance of the cave.

People breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately saw the silver werewolf behind him.

what happened?

"Everyone retreat!" J shouted loudly at this time. "No firing!"

Is he being held hostage?

People couldn't help but think so, and the "Exterminator" members on the helicopter began to consider whether to connect with M according to the regulations and transfer the command to her, or report the situation directly to the Watcher headquarters on the other side of the ocean.

J jumped down from the opening in the wall first, and a few seconds later, the silver werewolf and another inconspicuous stranger jumped to the ground from there.

"Let them go!" J said again.

His feelings were actually very complicated. In a violent organization like the Watchers, being gentle and giving in would often be seen as incompetence. K, who previously managed Tokyo, was considered old and incompetent within the Watchers, and was considered by many to be someone who should be transferred or fired.

No matter how this matter ends in the future, J, as the person involved, will not be evaluated well.

The moment he stood at the cave entrance and faced the armed helicopter, he really had a strong urge to order everyone to open fire at the cave entrance and kill the Ancestral Werewolf and Long Qingting.

But the sense of crisis that was always there and following him kept reminding him that it was irrational to do so.

Although the specific data of the initial reconstruction is unknown, this outer wall is obviously composed of two layers of steel plates, an anti-destruction layer and a fireproof layer, with a thickness of more than 25 centimeters. Even the rockets equipped on the opposite armed helicopter may not be able to destroy it so easily into its current state.

It is easy to give the order to fire, but the results after firing are unpredictable.

Moreover, although this guy kept saying that he "only represents himself, not the Special Management Bureau", based on their usual style, how could he make such an extreme move without authorization?

The first question was whether he could escape after opening the fire, the second question was whether he could kill him here after escaping, the third question was whether he could deal with the Special Forces Office after killing him, and the fourth question was whether he could deal with the Cheka and the Special Management Bureau at the same time. J could not answer any of these four questions, and he was not even qualified to answer them.

"Let them go!" He could only make the most advantageous choice for himself at the moment based on reason, or at least the choice with the least harm.

People hesitated for a moment, and the silver werewolf suddenly accelerated, and with a few leaps, it rushed into the woods next to the Imperial Palace. Then, it passed through the woods at an extremely fast speed, directly passed the Hanzo Moat, and soon disappeared into the street opposite.

A distant helicopter did not hear J's order. Surprised that its companions did not respond to the enemy, it accelerated and chased after her. J strode towards the nearest Overwatch agent, snatched the intercom from him, and ordered loudly: "I am J! Let her go. Do you understand? Let her go!"

"A very wise choice." Long Qingting did not do anything to provoke him in front of his subordinates, but smiled and whispered. "The rumors about you are obviously very wrong, J. I have completely changed my mind about you."

"I hope you understand the pressure I will face." J sighed. He was certainly not the reckless man as rumored, at least not when he was calm. "If the Cheka continues to cause trouble in Tokyo..."

"I still have several days left in my vacation." Long Qingting replied. "You have shown enough sincerity. Next, I believe they will also show corresponding sincerity. Otherwise, I will use practical actions to prove that I am a man of my words."

"So..." J felt a little strange. He had already said everything, so what was he still waiting for?

Long Qingting smiled and took out a point-and-shoot camera from his bag: "It's a rare opportunity to get in here, could you please take a picture for me? Well, this house is ruined and doesn't look good, let's go take pictures of the ones below, it's called East Palace, right? When I was at Nijubashi just now, I heard the tour guide say that it is a relic of Edo Castle, and it is only open twice a year? I'm so lucky to take this opportunity to come in and take a look!"

J took a deep breath and suddenly felt a little dizzy. He walked forward silently. Long Qingting kept taking pictures behind him, like a real, disgusting and stupid tourist.

He suddenly stopped moving, pointed the camera in his hand at the sky, and then gently pressed the shutter button.

"I got you!"

#####

Xia Chuan still couldn't get rid of his curiosity, so, while the car continued to move forward and there seemed to be no danger, he still sent a few crows to fly over the Imperial Palace.

Unfortunately, from this angle you could only hear gunshots and explosions, and see many people rushing towards the house, but you couldn't see what was happening inside.

He kept switching his attention back to the present, and when he switched back to the Imperial Palace again, he found that the gunfire had stopped, and there was a big hole in the east outer wall. A tall black man stood at the hole. Judging from his temperament, he looked like an important member of the Watchers. To his surprise, the silver werewolf he had seen before was right behind him, and they didn't kill each other!

What happened next made him even more confused. The silver werewolf suddenly ran away, leaving behind a strange guy. Just as he was about to study this guy carefully, he suddenly raised his camera towards the crow.

Xia Chuan subconsciously cut back, and after a moment, he suddenly felt that his action was a bit embarrassing, so he cut forward again, only to see that the guy had already walked towards the east building complex with the black man who should be the important person J, while the others began to clean up the severely damaged house in front of them.

Strange guy.

He looked Asian, but his posture was completely different from that of the Japanese, and was also obviously different from the important members of Overwatch. Xia Chuan could clearly feel that there was a vague aura of rebelliousness and madness in him, which made the answer obvious.

But what good would it be for them to get involved in this incident?

The car soon arrived at Arakawa District. Xiachuan originally wanted everyone to go home, but the surprised girls gathered together again, as if they could not calm their inner anxiety unless they did so.

"What's going on? Kamiya-kun (Kamiya-senpai), do you know anything?"

People's questions were surprisingly consistent, probably because he was too calm when facing those werewolves, and it didn't seem like he was seeing these things for the first time.

Xia Chuan couldn't help but sigh.

If it was only Yui Aoki in front of him, he could take this opportunity to tell the truth.

But in front of so many people...

"It's better for you not to know these things." He could only say vaguely.

"Please, if I don't know the truth, I probably won't be able to sleep well!"

"Me too!"

"Please! Please tell us the truth!"

It seems impossible to get through without saying some things, but they are just ordinary people, so to what extent can they say?

Xiachuan felt that there had been repeated werewolf attacks in Tokyo, all in busy areas, and the number of witnesses and eyewitnesses was likely tens of thousands.

At this point, can Akasaka still simply cover up the truth as he did before?

It should be difficult, right?

So, there shouldn't be any problem in telling them some superficial things?

Just as he was thinking about what to say, a girl suddenly asked, "Kamiya-kun, you are not the descendant of an Onmyoji or an exorcist, are you?"

"Yeah, that's about it." Xia Chuan then said vaguely. "Please keep it a secret for me. It will be very troublesome if my identity is exposed!"

This answer made the girls excited all of a sudden.

"So, monsters really exist? Ghosts, ghosts, and so on are real too?"

"Some of them are indeed real, but their number is very small now, and it is actually difficult for ordinary people to have the opportunity to encounter them." Xia Chuan nodded.

"What about those weird stories? Are those weird stories in school true?" The girls' expressions suddenly became uneasy.

"They're all fake!" Natsukawa didn't actually know what kind of ghost stories there were about Aoba High School and Kitaho Girls' High School, but Akasaka wasn't just a freeloader all these years. If the ghost stories in the school were true, there was no way they wouldn't deal with them.

"But...I heard them say..."

"The more widely and the longer the story lasts, the more likely it is to be false. There are very few real strange events, and there are special agencies responsible for handling these things and keeping them secret, so they will never be spread." Xia Chuan said immediately. If these guys are allowed to scare themselves like this, some of them may not even dare to go to the toilet alone in the future.

"In Tokyo, the name of this organization is Akasaka," he continued. "After most abnormal incidents occur, the police will immediately identify them and notify them to the scene. Most of the time, the incidents are properly resolved before the average person notices them. So, you don't have to worry so much. This time we are just facing a very special situation. As long as you stay at home as required by the school for the time being, nothing should happen."

"I can hide at home, but...what about my dad?" a girl asked anxiously at this time. "He has to cross most of the city to go to work in the port area every day. If he encounters those monsters on the way..."

Before he could finish his words, tears started to fall continuously, causing Xia Chuan's head to suddenly ache severely.
