Minister Maeno snorted coldly and stopped his temper. He pursed his lips and said:
"I have asked the Hokkaido Police Mobile Team to be on standby and ready to rush into the thirteenth floor to rescue people at any time."
"I'm afraid... that won't work!"
Superintendent Shimonoseki frowned. The well-trained and well-equipped mobile team was a sharp sword when dealing with ordinary terrorist incidents or ordinary Type A. However, it was not so effective against Type B, which had no entity. Previous experimental records had proved that guns and ammunition were ineffective against Type B.
In the worst case scenario, the mobile team will disappear like the surveillance team and never return.
and……
Inspector Shimotsuke continued to observe the twisted and deformed corpse of Inspector Kawakami with an extremely solemn expression.
Type B-16 was registered in 16. It is the evil spirit with the last number. The Metropolitan Police Department has investigated five victims who encountered type B-, and none of them were in danger of death. Inspector Kawakami might be the first death.
No, judging from the situation, it is very likely that Type B-16 is killing people in there.
How could Type B-16 go so crazy overnight?
Moreover, the Metropolitan Police Department was clearly on high alert on the 12th floor, and the surveillance team had done a good job of its mission over the past two years. How come a bunch of people inexplicably broke into the 13th floor like headless flies today?
There are more and more things that I can't understand, and the police officer who stepped down is just having a headache.
Suddenly, the next police inspector had an idea and remembered the official document that the Metropolitan Police Department sent to them overnight.
Could it be that the rampage of Type B-16 is related to last night's blood moon spectacle?
It is very likely indeed!
Superintendent Shimotsu felt that he had grasped something. While thinking about it, he told the Hokkaido Police Minister about his concerns.
"This won't work, and that won't work either! If we are restricted like this, are we just going to have to watch dozens of people being killed by evil spirits?"
Minister Maeno was sweating profusely with anxiety. If so many people died in Sapporo, it would definitely cause a sensation across the country, or even the world, just like the Bukozan incident last month!
By then, he, as the head of the Hokkaido Police Headquarters, will definitely have to kneel down and apologize at the press conference, and maybe even lose the position he had worked so hard to get.
Wait, the chief of the Saitama Prefecture Police Headquarters, where the Bukosan Incident took place, was not punished at all; he just bowed and apologized.
After all, the Zhengxin Society was destroyed by the extraordinary Master Lu, and the local police headquarters could only sigh helplessly. This time, the large-scale supernatural incident that occurred in Sapporo also involved the extraordinary.
Considering the precedent of the Saitama Prefecture Police Chief, the punishment should not be too severe.
Thinking of this, Minister Maeno's uneasy expression relaxed a little.
"I was impatient just now. Just do as the Superintendent said. After all, your Metropolitan Police Department is the expert in dealing with supernatural events. We amateurs should not interfere in your business."
Do less and make fewer mistakes; do nothing and make no mistakes. A professional bureaucrat like Minister Maeno quickly adjusted his mindset and said calmly.
Superintendent Shimoye also vaguely guessed what the Minister was thinking, but he nodded calmly and said:
"I'll contact the Metropolitan Police Department right now!"
The Metropolitan Police Department is no longer what it used to be. It has more than one extraordinary person under its command. It is not helpless against evil spirits that cannot be killed by physical means.
But considering how valuable extraordinary people are now, I wonder if the Metropolitan Police Department will send people to Sapporo for support?
No, it doesn't matter whether they come or not. By the time the superhumans from the Metropolitan Police Department arrive, the dozens of people trapped on the 13th floor of the commercial center and the surveillance team will probably be wiped out.
The police officer just sighed with a look of reluctance on his face.
"Help!"
At this moment, a mother holding a swaddled baby poked her head out of the smashed window on the thirteenth floor of the commercial center with tears streaming down her face, shouting for help below and looking back frequently. Every time she looked back, the fear on her face increased a little more.
"No, no, don't come near! Help, help me!"
The mother, holding the child, screamed for help at the police below, but they were powerless and there was no time left.
It seemed as if some monster was approaching from inside. The mother backed away again and again, half of her body squeezed out of the window, with nowhere to retreat.
This scene frightened the police on the street and the people who had not yet been evacuated.
"Damn it, hasn't the life-saving air cushion arrived yet?"
"Helicopter! Why isn't there a helicopter?"
"The Hokkaido Police are a bunch of rubbish. Why haven't they rescued anyone yet? They've embezzled all my tax money!"
The mother kissed the baby on the face with tears on her face, gritted her teeth, hugged the baby tightly, and jumped down from the 13th floor which was more than 20 meters high.
Everyone's heart suddenly rose to their throat.
Although he had made the worst-case scenario plan, the police inspector still couldn't help but shed tears when he saw this scene.
He could tell at a glance that the mother wanted to act as a cushion to protect her child, but at this height, they would both be smashed into pieces.
At this moment, everyone saw a blurry figure dragging a long green stream of light in the howling wind.
The green light passed along the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it had rushed to the downstairs of the commercial center. The speed was astonishingly fast, even faster than Bolt's full sprint on the track!
When the streak of light stopped on the street in the commercial center, everyone could see clearly that it was a petite girl.
She stretched out her hands, as if wanting to hug the mother and child who were falling from the building.
No, not possible!
This mother and son jumped from the 13th floor. Their weight was accelerated by gravity. Even if an adult man tried to catch their arms, their arms would be broken and their lives might even be in danger.
Not to mention a girl like this.
I'm afraid it will be three lives!
Some people could not help but close their eyes, not daring to watch the tragedy that was about to happen.
So they also missed the stunning and perfect leap of Jiaoxiao.
The petite girl jumped five or six meters high with a light and graceful figure, caught the mother and child who fell from the building, and landed steadily on the ground.
The world seemed to stand still, and after a brief silence, there was thunderous applause!
Both the police and the onlookers applauded and cheered in unison.
Tsukimi Inaba looked at the mother and child in her arms. The mother was so frightened that she closed her eyes tightly, and she didn't realize that she had been saved. The baby in her arms looked at her curiously with his confused eyes.
She smiled faintly at the babies, and the next moment Tsukimi Inaba carried them to the nearest policeman and carefully handed the mother and child to him.
The lower police officers surrounded them with complicated expressions.
This girl with an eye mask is different from others, whether it is her speed in chasing light and lightning or her ease in catching a mother and child falling from a building.
Another extraordinary person?
"Excuse me, could you please…"
Inspector Shimono opened his mouth subconsciously, and a whirlwind blew up out of nowhere. The girl ran like the wind again and rushed into the entrance of the commercial building in the blink of an eye.
Chapter 247 Chapter 248 The Fox's Heart
"I got lost in the stairwell. Where is the thirteenth floor?"
Tsukimi Inaba, holding a sword bag in his hand, stopped at a stairwell, looked at the floor number of "12th floor", tilted his head, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.
After such a big commotion in the mall, all the elevators have stopped operating and people can only climb the stairs on foot. For Tsukimi Inaba, who has become a superhuman, she can climb the thirteenth floor in less than a minute if she runs at full speed.
But at this moment, Tsukimi Inaba had been trapped in the stairwell for more than five minutes.
Although she is a swordsman, she is not a person with poor direction.
Frowning, Tsukimi Inaba pulled out a samurai sword from his sword bag and slashed the wall under the floor sign of the '12th floor'.
Then Tsukimi Inaba calmly climbed up the stairs from the twelfth floor with steady steps. Logically, the twelfth floor should be the thirteenth floor, but for some reason he ended up at the seventh floor.
"..."
Tsukimi Inaba stood under the '7th floor' sign, and after a moment's silence, he immediately started to rush down like lightning.
But the next floor is not the original '12th floor', but the '6th floor'!
Tsukimi Inaba ignored him and continued running down the stairs.
'5th floor', '4th floor', '3rd floor', '2nd floor'...
Tsukimi Inaba stood on the 'second floor' and looked down. What he saw was one layer after another of winding stairs, as if there was no end.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Tsukimi Inaba walked down a few steps from the 2nd floor and unexpectedly returned to the 12th floor. Looking at the mark left by the sharp weapon on the wall under the floor sign, Tsukimi Inaba fell silent.
“We’re back to square one.”
After entering the stairwell of the mall, Tsukimi Inaba seemed to have entered an endless stair maze, constantly looping between the '2nd floor' and the '12th floor', unable to reach the first floor of the mall, and never reaching the th floor.
Tsukimi Inaba also knew that he was in a strange and dangerous situation, as if he was bewitched by a fox, wandering on a road forever until his strength was exhausted.
The stairwell was so silent that it made one's back go cold. There was no sound at all, as if one had been exiled to an isolated space that did not exist in reality.
This must have been the work of the evil spirit B-16, but in the files of the Metropolitan Police Department, there was no mention of it using this kind of trick.
At times like this, you may no longer be able to trust your own eyes.
In Tsukimi Inaba took off the black eye patch on his right eye, revealing his pure white eyes. Veins bulged on his cheeks, and his originally cute face now looked a little hideous.
The byakugan transplanted in the right eye by the white-scaled snake demon not only enhances vision and gives the ability of perspective, but also after it is activated, Tsukimi Inaba's perception ability is greatly enhanced, and it can even be said that he senses the coming of autumn before the wind blows.
However, this would consume a lot of her "spiritual power", so she would not use this demon eye unless it was a critical moment.
"This evil and cold aura..."
At this moment, Tsukimi Inaba could feel that the floor he was on seemed to be shrouded by a layer of dark haze, which made people feel suffocating, oppressive and creepy.
That’s right, this must be the 13th floor!
Inaba raised his head in Tsukimi, the white of his right eye flashed with a bright light, making him look even more clear.
The '12th Floor' sign on the wall blurred for a moment, then its original form was revealed. It was indeed the '13th Floor'!
Standing on the stairwell on the 13th floor and heading towards the corridor again, the originally closed stair door had been opened. The pitch-black entrance seemed like a devil's cave that swallowed everything. No one knew what was going on inside, but there were occasional hysterical screams.
Inaba's face turned cold in Tsukimi. He raised his samurai sword, took a few steps forward, and his figure was gradually swallowed by the darkness.
Shortly after Inaba entered the thirteenth floor in Tsukimi, a gate of light suddenly appeared in the stairwell at the entrance, and Uchiha Ming, wearing a black robe with red clouds, walked out.
He turned his head and glanced at the floor sign of the thirteenth floor, his Sharingan flashing a strange red light.
"Interesting, it turns out to be the technique of right and wrong and the technique of the fox's heart." Uchiha Ming had a half-smile on his face.
The This Place Is Not the Same Technique and the Fox Heart Technique are both large-scale illusions that can be used on multiple people. The former can make people hallucinate and mistakenly believe that a certain place is another place. During the Chunin Exam, the examiner used the This Place Is Not the Same Technique to transform a room on the second floor into an examination room on the third floor.
The magic in the fox's mind is an illusion that can deceive the person's sense of direction, causing him to wander around on one road forever.
These two kinds of illusions are not considered very advanced and can be easily broken by anyone who has a little knowledge of illusions. It is effortless for the Sharingan to see through illusions of this level.
But for ordinary people, they can only run around like headless flies, and it is impossible to escape until their physical strength is exhausted.
"According to the files of the Metropolitan Police Department, type B-16 can only spit out a strange tongue from its mouth to steal human physical energy. Those unlucky guys are just suffering from a serious illness and their lives are not in danger." Uchiha Ming thought with a strange look on his face.
"If the Metropolitan Police Department knew that Type B-16 could use such a dangerous illusion, they wouldn't be so careless as to just seal off the th floor of the mall. This evil spirit has become so evil overnight. Is it really related to the Scarlet Moon last night?"
After the master-disciple assistance game was updated to version , Uchiha Ming can open a channel near the apprentices and descend directly.
Uchiha Ming could sense that after the Scarlet Moon, the evil-sealing seal he had cast on Tsukimi Inaba was loosening, and the Higuchi Orochi was ready to make a move and might break free at any time.
One of the purposes of his trip was to completely exorcise the Higuchi Orochi hidden in the Inaba curse seal in Tsukimi.
Uchiha Ming clearly remembered that Higuchi Orochi still owed him a debt.
When I killed it for the first time, this monster only revealed Orochimaru's style of ninjutsu, but no Ninja Balls!
The three black magatama in the eyes began to stretch and deform, wrapping around the pupils.
Uchiha Ming sneered, his figure began to become transparent and illusory, and he also disappeared into the darkness.
…………
The commercial center covers a vast area, with unused items piled up randomly and dimly lit. Being in it is like being in the labyrinth of the Minotaur.
Because it had been sealed for two years, the interior of the thirteenth floor was filled with dust and the stench of decay, but Tsukimi Inaba didn't care about that. She rushed over following the screams, but when she arrived, there was only a dry and dehydrated corpse like a mummy on the ground.
But even so, one can vaguely see the despair and pain before death on his face.
They were a step too late again. Tsukimi Inaba's face was frosty and no expression could be seen, but the knuckles of his fingers holding the samurai sword had begun to turn white from the force.
This is the fourth mummy that Tsukimi Inaba has found on the thirteenth floor of the mall.
As someone who has also been harmed by the supernatural and strange, Tsukimi Inaba can empathize with the pain of the victims.
