Zhang Yun nodded when he heard this and looked forward without thinking any more.

Look towards the end of the mountain that everyone is climbing - there seems to be continuous white mist, and the sacred mountain stands tall and majestic!

...

"There really are dragons in this world. I saw them!"

"Indeed, I was once served by a dragon..."

"Fuck you, I'm not kidding you - I saw it with my own eyes, in Jiangcheng!"

"I can prove it. I am also from Jiangcheng. There was indeed a dragon flying over from the sky... and there was a person on the dragon's head. It was the 'Spirit King'."

"Another 'Spirit King'? Could this guy really be a god?!"

"A silver-level player is almost as good as a god, even if he hasn't become one. But I looked at the satellite map and the direction he's going to is... Japan?"

"Are they preparing to bomb Japan? That's exciting!"

"..."

On online forums, information flows like a tide.

Netizens were once again outraged by the Spirit King’s actions.

Chapter 440: Four Goalkeepers, Dragon Descends from the Sky

Japanese time, ten:03 in the morning.

Central Honshu Island, Kyoto City.

The warm morning sun flooded the city streets like a tide, dispelling the slight chill brought by late autumn. The towering high-rise buildings stood like giants under the blue sky. The "giants" were attached to the road surface below, pedestrians and vehicles were rushing, and the fallen leaves on the street were like goose down-like snow, embellishing this city that is approaching winter but still prosperous and bustling with some seasonal colors, and also covering the ancient houses hidden among the modern buildings with layers of illusory colors.

——Kyoto is one of the oldest cities in Japan and the residence of the "Emperor", the nominal supreme ruler for a thousand years. It has many famous places of interest.

Even though the "Emperor" has mostly existed as a symbol of the country during this thousand years, decades ago, the country was actually ruled by the shogunate military system headed by the "Shogun" located in Tokyo. During these decades, the country's prime minister and ministers also handled state affairs. There has never been a regime led by the emperor, and naturally there has been no relocation of the capital - it was just a direct transition from the shogunate system to the prime minister system, which is different from Li Reyuan's initial inherent impression.

But the nominal head has not changed to this day, so although Kyoto is only ranked seventh in size, its cultural status is still high. It is second only to the largest city in Japan today and the former largest city in Asia. It has now been gradually replaced by the Magic City, but it still ranks among the top. It is an important city in the Osaka metropolitan area, one of the three major metropolitan areas in Japan, and a place of great cultural prosperity. Looking south from here, you can also see the appearance of Mount Fuji, which is known as the first sacred mountain in Japan.

At this moment, in the 'dark side' of this ancient metropolis that has existed for thousands of years, some invisible vortex is brewing secretly...

"Reached?"

"Not yet - but according to the information given by the previous Defense Minister, it should be within the next two days!"

"When did the 'Spirit King' arrive in Japan..."

The large airport in southern Kyoto was always a terminal for the transportation of businessmen and passengers from all over the world. However, it was under a total martial law and blockade one day. Warning lines were set up inside and outside the airport, and people in police uniforms with guns and weapons stood up to form a human wall, surrounding the spacious waiting hall.

On the electronic screen hanging in the center of the terminal, there was only one flight left among the densely packed flight signs.

The only flight from Osaka City to Kyoto City.

The purpose of this group of people is obvious.

"We have waited too long. Could it be that the so-called 'Spirit King' is afraid and dares not come over?"

One of them spoke in standard Japanese.

“Do you think it’s possible?” A person next to him rolled his eyes and said in Japanese: “That’s a one-on-three fight that defeated a monster with a silver-level player’s clone head-on—and he’s only been a silver-level player for more than half a month, but he’s been able to suppress many veteran silver players and rank fourth on the list!”

“But to put it bluntly, isn’t it still a clone? That list looks weird, but it’s just a sham list after all. Many silver medalists don’t accept it!” The man who spoke at the beginning was quite indifferent, and his words were very careless. After he finished speaking, he looked at the other person on the other side: “Awu, what do you think?”

"I think... 'Spirit King' is quite strong, at least not weaker than the big boss." The man's voice was low and a little honest, and his appearance also gave people a kind of honest feeling, but under that honest face he had a body as strong as a mountain, which made no one dare to underestimate him.

In contrast, the person who spoke at the beginning looked shifty with red hair, and it was obvious at first glance that he was the kind of guy who roamed the streets like a hooligan - if the paradise had not come, this guy would probably be just one of the bikers that can be seen everywhere on the streets.

The red-haired man twisted his lips when he heard the words of the honest young man: "You are still so honest... But don't let the boss hear this, otherwise he will probably get angry again!"

"Hey, the boss's abilities are getting stronger and stronger, but his temper is also getting more and more violent..."

"What you said is exactly the same as what Awu said, Red Hair." The man who was speaking next to him rolled his eyes and couldn't help but complain. His tall and straight figure made him look much more normal compared to Red Hair and 'Awu', like a white-collar office worker that can be seen everywhere in Kyoto buildings.

"Hey, hey, hey, I won't say that in front of the boss. I haven't lived enough!"

The red-haired man twisted his mouth again.

The three people who were talking were obviously different from those who were surrounding the airport. They were standing, squatting or sitting directly in the terminal hall. The police officers who were on alert around them occasionally looked at them with a little respect and awe - they were undoubtedly the "leaders" of this group of people.

Three people... or rather, four people——

"Hey, Shinobu, I know you've been eavesdropping around here, but please don't tell the boss about me!"

The next second, the 'Red Hair' who was squatting on the ground suddenly raised his head and shouted.

Awu scratched his head with his face still looking honest. The young man, who looked like a white-collar worker, sighed and seemed a little helpless.

The voice responding to the red-haired man's words sounded immediately.

"I'm not that bored."

The voice was a little muffled, but it was clear that it was a female voice.

The first word in the voice still appears above my head.

The last word, however, suddenly "floated" behind him!

The red-haired man felt a chill on his back, and his ruffian face looked with a little fear at the dark figure standing silently behind him through a glass wall: "Can you stop being so elusive?"

The figure was wrapped in a pitch-black tight suit, and most of his face was wrapped tightly in a thick scarf, revealing only a pair of pitch-black eyes and long hair that was tied up high and swung like a whip.

When she heard what the red-haired man said, she just turned her body slightly and glanced at him.

Then another voice came from under the scarf: "No."

The first word is still behind me.

The second word appears above your head.

The figure's legs landed steadily on the roof of the terminal, and his feet seemed to have suction cups. He was clearly upside down, but he seemed to be walking on flat ground as if he was defying gravity, and even his clothes were naturally hanging vertically upwards.

"Anin's ninjutsu is getting more and more amazing..."

The white-collar worker stroked his chin and said, "Based on this performance, the degree of evolution must have exceeded thirty-five points, right?"

"Do you feel that your position as the leader of the 'Four Goalkeepers' is in jeopardy, Zhiyi-san?" The red-haired man's eyes rolled with a hint of gloating and trying to sow discord.

"How could that be?" The man called 'Zhi Sang' laughed, "I would love not to be the 'leader of the four goalkeepers'. Anyway, you guys don't really listen to me!"

"I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do!"

When Red-Haired Man saw that his attempt to sow discord failed, he immediately made a sound of derision.

"If you don't fight, how can I have a chance to take the top position?"

He was very frank, and as if he could not help but complain, he said: "Then again, it's fine that Shinobu is a professional ninja player of the control class, but how can you, a 'chess master' of a special class, be so strong?"

"Maybe it's because I count more?"

The white-collar worker thought for a moment and said, "And your ability as an arsonist is pretty good, Red Hair—"

"I'm not praising you, nor do I want you to flatter me in return!" The red-haired man scratched his head of red hair.

Awu was still standing beside him with a simple smile on his face, but he didn't say anything.

Listening to the conversation between these four people, the "security personnel" who were setting up the cordon nearby became even more dignified in their hearts - the police uniforms these personnel were wearing were of course genuine, and they were all official police officers from the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department, but their official identities were not worth mentioning in front of these four people.

Even though these four people are not actually their superiors—they are not even staff within the Metropolitan Police Department.

The 'four goalkeepers' guarding Japan.

This is how people who know these four people are called.

They are the highest-ranking cadres in the official player organization 'Shogun' founded by the only silver player in Japan, 'Shogun' Minamoto Musashi, second only to the shogun himself, and are also Minamoto Musashi's four most capable subordinates. When Minamoto Musashi was not yet a silver-level player, or even before he entered the bronze level, the four of them had already followed Minamoto Musashi in the dungeon world and formed a team together.

Now Minamoto Musashi has become a silver-level player.

The player organization 'Shogunate' he founded also completely overwhelmed the 'Shinsengumi' under the command of 'Sword Saint', another top-level Japanese player who had not yet been promoted to silver, in a struggle a few days ago, and defeated it, becoming the largest player force in Japan and completely taking over all projects related to the park and players in Japan.

The four of them naturally rose in value as well—

Of course, if anyone thinks that they have only achieved their current status through their relationship with Minamoto no Musashi and challenges them, they will only end up dead without a burial place.

These four people are indeed far inferior to 'Shogun' Minamoto Musashi, nor are they as good as top players like 'Goddess' and 'Sword Saint', but they are also veterans among the bronze-level players.

Eastern 'chess player' Tomokazu Hirai.

Western 'Ninja' Chiba Shinobu.

The southern 'arsonist', 'red-haired' - Mao Hongjian.

The northern 'vindication monk' Nakadake Rintaro.

——These four names themselves are symbols of masters!

Of course, these four people did not actually gather together in the past. After Minamoto Musashi became a silver-level player and completely dominated Japan, these four people were sent by Minamoto Musashi to different cities in the east, west, south and north to guard the "national gate" - the name of the four gatekeepers came from this.

This is the first time in more than ten days that everyone has gathered together like this.

Face these four people.

Not to mention ordinary police officers under the Metropolitan Police Department, even the senior officials of the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department - even the highest-level leader of the Metropolitan Police Department, the Police Commissioner, must be respectful.

Of course, these ordinary police officers would also be respectful and awed——

They were even more terrified about the purpose of these four people's arrival!

"So, it's almost eleven o'clock, why hasn't the flight arrived yet?" The red-haired man became agitated again: "The former defense minister wouldn't lie to us, right? It turns out that he was also from Sengen Taisha, and suddenly betrayed and informed us. His credibility is extremely low-"

This sentence fell.

Kazutomo Hirai, who looked like a white-collar worker, also looked up at the screen hanging above, frowning slightly.

According to common sense, this flight should have arrived long ago.

Even if there are some minor changes along the way and the arrival is delayed.

It shouldn't have been delayed for so long.

"Did the previous defense minister really deceive us?"

"Or did the 'Spirit King' guess our arrival and land in a different city?"

He couldn't help but start thinking, but quickly overturned his own inference.

Leaving aside the former, the chances of the former defense minister deceiving them are not high, and the faction he belongs to has proved that he will not do something that digs his own grave - after all, no matter what, the shogun is the silver-level player in Japan, and he will not move the faction behind him. But if the spiritual king found by the goddess gains a foothold in Japan, everything will be different!

As for the latter...

When he received the order from the nagging 'Shogun' Minamoto Musashi to come and 'receive' the Spiritual King Li Re and prevent him from contacting the goddess, he had carefully analyzed all the information he could collect about the Spiritual King Li Re.

The world's only supernatural player is not as gloomy and weird as many people think. His actions are unscrupulous and full of domineering.

There is no way he would change his schedule.

I made an appointment with the 'Goddess' to meet in Kyoto.

Then it will only be in Kyoto!

Yes, the mission of the 'Four Gatekeepers' is to come and 'receive' Li Re based on the 'tip' from the previous Minister of Defense, in order to prevent him from meeting the goddess. With their strength, it is certainly impossible for them to resort to force against Li Re, as that would only be courting death.

So we can only look for opportunities from another perspective.

First, in the name of "reception", cut off any possibility of his contact with the goddess!

Delay the time.

Until the general sent people to deal with the goddess.

Completely cut off any chance of the Spirit King interfering in Japan’s internal affairs!

Boom!

Just at this moment, when the red-haired guy was a little impatient and Hirai Tomokazu was confused, the waiting hall, which was surrounded by three layers of defense inside and outside, suddenly shook violently.

This is...

"earthquake?"

Red Hair was stunned.

Japan is located in the overseas area east of the Great Xia Kingdom. It is located between the gaps of continental plates, so it is normal for earthquakes to occur frequently.

But this time the shaking seemed different from an earthquake.

Because this earthquake source——
