My life in Tokyo

"Brother, did you hear footsteps?" Vodka looked towards the end of the corridor anxiously.

Gin narrowed his eyes, loaded the bullet, and pulled his men into the dark.

The footsteps came from far away, accompanied by inhuman growls.

Under the dim light, the two finally saw the true face of the visitor. Gin's pupils shrank slightly, and Vodka broke out in a cold sweat.

It was a person dressed as a waiter, dragging his body and crawling.

Their faces were pale, their eyes rolled up, and their limbs were twisted abnormally.

"Possessed by an evil spirit." Gin's eyes flickered.

"Big brother..."

Vodka whispers.

"Don't talk." Gin warned in a low voice. The two hid in the dark until the waiter dragged his body away, then they came out.

Vodka has completely lost his temper.

"Brother, what should we do next?"

Gin was silent.

I wanted to leave, but I couldn't contact my companions.

There are many crises here at this moment.

"Take the elevator down first and see if we can find a chance to leave here."

He and Vodka arrived at the elevator and fell silent again.

All the elevators stopped at the 20th floor, and the bright red floor numbers flashed strangely.

...

...

With the backup power activated, the exhibition grounds were lit.

Ran Mouri was calling out to Conan everywhere, while Suzuki Sonoko was fanning the room with her hands. As the central air conditioning was turned off, the temperature in the venue gradually rose to an unbearable level.

The guests were all high-ranking officials and dignitaries who had never suffered such hardship before, and they all started complaining.

"Please rest assured, we will be able to restore power support soon!"

The host in charge of controlling the situation quickly calmed everyone down.

The real Suzuki Jikichiro was also very angry at this time. He was very dissatisfied because he was impersonated by Kuroba Kaito and was knocked unconscious in the inner room. The twin towers that were built with great difficulty suffered a major power outage on the first day of the opening.

"Why hasn't the electricity been restored yet?"

He asked the steward with a stern face.

The steward also smiled bitterly: "Master, we have contacted the lobby manager, and he has arranged for a maintenance worker to repair the electrical appliances. Logically, it should be restored now."

"Let Manager Arata and I talk!" Suzuki Jikichiro was dissatisfied.

The manager could only hand over the intercom and contact the lobby manager, but facing the old man's questioning, the lobby manager was also speechless.

He has arranged several maintenance teams to go through the emergency stairs to repair the electrical work.

But those maintenance teams never returned.

Could it be true, as the girl said, that this building is haunted?

"Humph! I don't care what method you use, just solve this matter for me as soon as possible! The status of the guests here is quite distinguished, you can't be responsible even if it costs you the rest of your life!"

"Yes!"

The lobby manager ended the call with a bitter face.

No matter what, at least the elevator had to be restored to operation. He came to the elevator entrance, watched the maintenance worker open the elevator shaft, and climbed up the stairs.

"How is it, did you find any problems?" he asked nervously.

“No problems have been found yet.”

The foreman said, "Our people are almost at the 20th floor where the elevator has problems. We should have good news soon..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard screams of fear coming from the elevator shaft and the intercom at the same time.

then,

There were two maintenance workers who kept wailing. They fell vertically from the well and with a splash, they were smashed into two pools of blood and flesh.

Scarlet blood and rotten meat splattered on the faces of the foreman and the lobby manager.

Chapter 115: Mutation 4

The lobby manager and the foreman looked at the blood and flesh overflowing from the elevator shaft and felt the minced meat splashing onto their lips.

They were stunned, their eyes filled with fear.

"what!!"

This scream did not come from their mouths, but from the mouth of the waitress who was attracted by the noise.

"Don't scream!" At the critical moment, the lobby manager was calm enough.

His calves were shaking as he supported his body, not daring to look at the elevator shaft that was filled with minced meat. "Call the police! This was just an accident!"

The frightened waiter next to them hurried to call the police.

But at this time,

There was a strange noise coming from the dark elevator shaft.

Everyone instinctively held their breath and fell silent. The sound was like the crawling of a reptile, making people feel uncomfortable.

'Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!'

The lobby manager clenched his fists to comfort himself. As the person in charge here, he had the responsibility to be on the front line.

Shoulder to shoulder with the equally terrified foreman, he cautiously peered toward the elevator shaft.

then,

He saw a strange creature, like a giant python, slowly hanging down the wall.

The lobby manager bit his lower lip hard and slowly pulled his head back. His heart was beating fast, but he dared not make a sound.

He turned around, his face panicked and nervous, gestured to everyone, opened his mouth, and spoke silently.

'run'

Everyone turned and ran.

The squirming sound in the elevator shaft suddenly accelerated, and a thick tentacle suddenly emerged from it. The tentacle had mottled patterns like a giant python, but on the top it had a chrysanthemum-shaped mouth and sharp teeth.

But it was still a step too slow and could only roar silently at the backs of the crowd.

Then he slowly pulled his body back into the elevator shaft, dove into the body of the maintenance worker, and began swallowing in big gulps.

"Quick, call the police!"

The lobby manager and a group of people fled out of the door like crazy. He tremblingly instructed his subordinates to call the police, looking at the bright and deserted interior of the lobby from afar.

"What on earth is that?" he asked in horror.

When the subordinate picked up the phone and called the police,

Suddenly, a group of armed troops with live ammunition emerged from all directions.

The lobby manager's face froze, and he felt like crying but had no tears. What was going on?

The lobby manager originally wanted to use the Suzuki Group's reputation to intimidate these guys.

But when he found out that these armed forces that looked scarier than terrorists were actually the special operations forces of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, he immediately became scared.

"President, the survivor has been controlled."

The commander of the troop glanced at the lobby manager who was explaining in the distance, then looked up with fear at the pitch-black twin towers that soared into the sky, and reported the news here to Tosaki Yu.

Tosaki Yu was still standing in front of the big screen.

But at this moment, the screen could not see the interior of the Twin Towers, only dots and noise all over the screen.

Tosaki Yu looked at the screen, as if he could see the real-time situation of the Twin Towers through the dots.

"I understand." He said, "Keep waiting. If there are any survivors escaping from inside, they must be controlled immediately."

"Yes."

After the call ended, the armed forces went into hiding again.

They followed orders, ready to go like orioles, waiting for the final order to raid.

"President."

Tosaki Yu's female assistant came over and said, "Jinguji Ayame wants to talk to you."

Tosaki Yu thought for a moment and said, "Take it over."

After a while, he heard Jinguji Ayame's suppressed angry questioning through his earphone.

"Tosaki Yuu, what exactly do you want to do?"

"I don't understand what you mean."

"Don't play dumb. You already know the situation in the Twin Towers. The demi-humans have attacked the citizens. The demon exorcists I arranged are also fighting among them. But what about you? Where is the support force from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare?!"

Tosaki Yu's laughter was full of sarcasm.

"Don't worry, Director Jinguji. Our Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's support forces are on the way. Besides, dealing with supernatural disasters is the responsibility of the Ministry of the Environment. Don't worry. Once you deal with the evil spirits, we will naturally take action to deal with the demihumans."

Jinguji Ayame was silent for a long time.

Then, her tone became colder, and even murderous intent emerged.

"I will report your disregard for human life and your use of human life as bargaining chips to the cabinet!"

"Please go ahead." said Tosaki Yu.

Jinguji Ayame took the initiative to end the call.

"President, will there really be no problems?" The female assistant behind him also heard the whole conversation and couldn't help but ask in a worried tone: "If the higher-ups knew your thoughts..."

"Who do you think I learned this behavior from?"

Tosaki Yu looked at his assistant with cold eyes.

"Jinguji Ayame doesn't understand, and neither do you. This country is rotten from the root. Some people only pursue immortality and longevity. As long as we can provide this path, no matter how excessive we are, they will cover it up for us."

He whispered, laughing at himself.

"The desire to live long and to hold power forever is the eternal desire of mankind. We are merely accomplices in creating hell."

...

...

Countermeasures room.

Jinguji Ayame's face was unusually cold. She put her fists on her knees and looked at the lights in the distance, as if she could see the darkness surging under the neon lights of the city.

She knew what Tosaki Yu was thinking.

The other party had no intention of cooperating to fight against the demihumans, nor did they truly care about the lives of the citizens.

Rather than an arrest plan, it was more like a biological experiment by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.

The combination of demi-humans with supernatural powers such as evil spirits and demons is an experimental project that is hard to come by. The most important thing is that the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare does not have to bear the consequences of public opinion. They only need to wait quietly for this experiment to bear fruit and then reap the rewards.

The dangers are solved by the Countermeasures Room, and they just need to take advantage of the situation and reap the fruits.

As for how many innocent people will die in this process?

What does it have to do with them?

After all, the thing that is most in short supply in this world is leeks.

Jinguji Ayame clenched her fists tightly, that's why she hated politics.

Take a deep breath and calm your mind.
