"Kirigakure no Jutsu!"
In an instant, a wave of fog surged up from the roof, rolled down and spread in all directions.
The fog got thicker.
…………
At 9:10, Minami-Kasai had already entered traffic control.
Edogawa District is located in the southeast of Tokyo. It is not the city center or the prosperous urban area. The headquarters of Makoto Group is facing Arakawa and Tokyo Bay is a few hundred meters to the south. It is relatively easy to block this area.
Residents near the Makoto Group's headquarters have been evacuated urgently, and one large explosion-proof police car after another from the Metropolitan Police Department is blocking the driveway at the entrance.
Team after team of armed forces wearing riot helmets and armed with heavy weapons and firearms have set up simple fortifications at the door.
The Special Assault Team (SAT) is an elite force in the national police system responsible for anti-terrorism and anti-riot operations.
After the supernatural incidents occurred, the Metropolitan Police Department expanded its organization and secretly added several SAT teams. When necessary, the Investigation Section 4 and the Public Security Section 5 can mobilize the SAT to deal with supernatural monsters.
"Inspector Uchiha, it's still not working. The fog is too thick. The drones we sent in couldn't capture anything, and they lost their signals very quickly."
In the temporary command center set up not far away, the commander Uchiha Senmon frowned and looked at the white screen.
This fog is really terrible.
The fog on the driveway was already quite thick, and judging from the drone that entered the Makoto Group, it was pitch dark inside. In this situation, it would be too dangerous to send a commando team in.
How could two such serious supernatural incidents happen in one day!
The news of Bukozan Shoshikai has been reported to the Metropolitan Police Department. Investigation Sections 4 and 5 have formed a joint investigation headquarters and rushed to Chichibu County. Uchiha Senmon stationed in Tokyo has also received a report of a Type A attack in Edogawa District.
And this was not just an ordinary attack. The local police station reported that as many as 20 bodies were found on the first floor alone.
Since the supernatural incidents began, there has never been a Type A attack in the country that killed so many people at one time.
Moreover, it happened in Tokyo, so the Metropolitan Police Department was naturally in a hurry and demanded that it be wiped out immediately. Uchiha Senmon was appointed as the temporary commander and SAT was mobilized to handle the matter.
In the temporary command center, in addition to Uchiha Senmon and his deputy Kanhara Yuji and other staff members of the Fourth Investigation Section, the survivors Inspector Aota and Director Miyano were also there.
Director Miyano couldn't hide his surprise on his face.
Last week, Director Miyano and other directors of Edogawa Ward were summoned to Sakuradamon for a special meeting.
At the meeting, a bureaucrat from the Metropolitan Police Department with the rank of Superintendent of Police first spoke a bunch of inexplicable things about beliefs and Japanese folk customs, and then went on to talk about a lot of other things with hidden meanings.
Anyway, it is implying to these police chiefs that if any bizarre case occurs in their jurisdiction, or if the police are called to report something weird, they should not deny it out of the blue at the first sight based on common sense, but should observe carefully, judge the authenticity, and report any abnormal situation to the Metropolitan Police Department.
A director asked what this meant?
However, Superintendent Masaru did not give a direct response, but continued to speak a bunch of vague and confusing words in the style of the Riddler.
Anyway, we just put on this attitude. Although we didn't say it explicitly, you should understand. Since you already understand, there is no need for us to say it.
After the meeting, all the directors walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters with expressions as if they were wondering where the end of the universe was.
It was precisely because of this inexplicable meeting and the presence of a suspected monster at the crime scene that Director Miyano immediately made the decision to report to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Unexpectedly, it involved monsters. Director Miyano didn't even know that there were monsters in Japan where he had lived for more than 30 years.
It turns out that my rank is too low, and such confidential matters cannot be disclosed to the public, so I have to live in a false world all my life?
Uchiha Senmon held a sketch with a serious expression. It was hastily drawn by the police criminal profiler based on the oral statement of Inspector Qingtian.
The shark-faced monster's appearance and skin color were unremarkable, and although Type A humanoids that could speak were rare, there were several reports of them in the archives. But what about that simple Japanese-style clothing on it?
Uchiha Senmon keenly sensed that something was wrong. In past cases where Type A attacked people, it was just like animals attacking humans out of instinct because of appetite. However, this Type A killed so many people in one breath but did not eat a single bite. It was really abnormal.
Most importantly, Chief Inspector Qingtian said that the shark-faced monster mentioned the sacrificial soul.
Although Type A is privately called a monster by the police, it is very different from the monsters in folk tales, and devouring souls is unheard of. Instead, this behavior is more like the ghosts and gods that appear in myths and legends!
But it could also be a deliberate mystery. The Uchiha Senmon had come across monsters whose intelligence was no different from that of ordinary people, or even more cunning.
"The superiors are urging us again, asking when to launch the attack?" A police officer came over with a walkie-talkie.
"We have to wait for the fog to dissipate a little. It's already past nine o'clock, why is the fog still so thick... Wait a moment, contact the helicopter pilot and check the coverage of the fog." Uchiha Xianmen asked with a flash of inspiration.
Due to the heavy fog, the helicopter was unable to lower its altitude and kept hovering more than 200 meters above the fog.
A few minutes later, the police officer replied: "The heavy fog in South Kasai has dissipated in the north and there is no fog on the sea. It is only still covering half a kilometer north of the coast."
Uchiha Senmon drew a circle on the map with a pen, and his black eyes blinked repeatedly:
"So, it's centered around the Makoto Group headquarters?"
It seems that this strange fog is not a natural factor, but the work of supernatural beings, so it is unlikely to wait for the fog to dissipate.
Should we send out an assault squad right now? However, the internal situation of Makoto Group is unclear and the visibility is extremely poor, which would be a bit irresponsible for the lives of the assault squad members.
Just then, cheers were heard outside the command center.
"The fog is gone, the fog is gone!"
Uchiha Senmon quickly led his men out of the tent, and saw that the white fog was gradually dissipating, and the vision gradually became clearer. The headquarters building of the Makoto Group, which had only been vaguely visible in outline, was now clearly visible.
He also saw the strange green man standing on the roof.
The blue monster seemed to be aware of something, and he stood on the roof and looked at Uchiha Senmon.
"Banglong!"
A huge shadow flashed beneath the calm surface of the Arakawa River, and then the water surface bulged high like a wave crest, and a black, shiny head about five or six meters tall emerged from the surface of the Arakawa River.
Chapter 61 Umibozu
A wave suddenly appeared on the calm surface of the Arakawa River. From the middle of the huge wave, a huge bald head appeared, with a pair of pale eyes as big as wheels.
Although there were still wisps of mist in the air, the huge creature that emerged from the water quickly attracted everyone's attention and was even more shocking than Hoshigaki Kisame who appeared on the rooftop.
The monster supported himself on the river bank with one hand and stood up.
This is a monster that is over ten meters tall and shaped like a black giant. Its entire body is black, and the most eye-catching feature is the huge bald head that takes up half of its body.
At this moment, the police officers present instinctively recalled the fear of being dominated by the giant.
"What kind of monster is this?"
"So big! So huge!"
"Command, please give permission to shoot!"
The SAT present was indeed the most elite force in the police system. Even when faced with a giant monster that suddenly appeared behind them, they did not rashly fire.
But everyone was treating it as if they were facing a formidable enemy and there was quite a commotion. Some people turned their guns that were pointed at the rooftops towards the river.
"This is Umibozu!"
Chief Inspector Qingtian, who grew up on an island, blurted out the answer immediately, with a hint of excitement in his tone.
"Umibozu!"
Uchiha Senmon looked solemn, and he was also thinking of this famous Japanese sea monster.
This is a huge, pitch-black monster that appears on the sea. It will extort fishermen for their catches, and if they refuse, it will overturn their boats. According to legend, its appearance on the sea also indicates that a storm is about to come, and because its bald head looks like a monk, it is named Umibozu.
Looking at this giant creature whose appearance and features are exactly the same as the legendary monster Kaibouzu, Uchiha Senmon's pupils shrank. Is this also a Type A?
So far, he has come into contact with many supernatural beings, but he has never seen a Type A monster similar to the monsters in folk legends.
But Kaibouzu did not give Uchiha Senmon time to be shocked. He slowly took a step and walked towards the headquarters of the Makoto Group in front of him.
Now the commotion among the troops had noticeably grown greater.
"Squad one, stay put and continue monitoring the Type A on the rooftop. Other troops, free firing is allowed!"
Uchiha Senmon's face showed fear and confusion. Why would this Kaibozu come out at this time?
If Umibozu suddenly emerged from Arakawa when SAT was attacking the Makoto Group's headquarters, they would be attacked from both sides and might be killed by surprise.
But now is not the time to think about this. Umibozu's ten-meter-tall body gives people a terrifying sense of oppression. He also doesn't think that this monster came ashore for a walk on a whim. If he lets it get closer, there is a risk of morale collapsing on the spot. In any case, it will not be wrong to shoot it on the spot.
"understand!"
The other teams immediately opened fire. Fire flashed from the muzzles of more than a dozen submachine guns, and volleys of bullets swept over Haifangzhu.
"Puff puff--"
The bullets hit Kaibouzu's body, but there was no splatter of blood or smelly body fluids. Instead, it was like hitting the surface of water, creating splashes of water.
"The bullets are ineffective!"
"Commander, what should we do?"
Seeing the huge body of Umibozu getting closer and closer, some police officers were sweating profusely and asked anxiously.
This situation has never happened before. Type A creatures are also flesh and blood, and bullets are effective against them. The wave of bullets just now was enough to turn ordinary Type A creatures into meat paste, but it was ineffective against Umibozu. Is this a real monster?
"The use of heavy weapons is allowed!" Uchiha Senmon gave another instruction without having time to think about it.
Although the use of heavy weapons in urban areas would cause a huge stir and would inevitably cause a sensation, it was a critical moment and we could not care about that.
Several members of the special assault force switched to grenade launchers.
The special assault force is equipped with an MGL400mm grenade launcher with a six-round magazine, which can fire six grenades at a time.
"boom!"
A 40mm grenade blew a hole with a diameter of more than two meters in Kaibouzu's body, and water flowed from the wound.
Seeing that the attack was effective, the team member half-knelt on the ground, placed the butt of the gun firmly on his shoulder, pulled the trigger continuously, and fired the other five grenades in one go!
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
A violent burst of fire erupted from Umibozu's body, causing it to stagger on the spot, and it opened its mouth and let out a mournful cry like a whale's song.
"Woo——"
The explosion and the loud screams attracted the attention of nearby residents. Someone could be vaguely seen looking over here on the other side of the Arakawa River. A yacht that came from nowhere on the Arakawa River was also approaching in this direction.
That is, in the Edogawa district near the coast, and the nearby traffic was blocked, otherwise this incident would definitely be the front-page headline of the Tokyo Shimbun tomorrow.
"Continue the attack!"
The remaining few people also held grenade launchers and fired grenade after grenade at Kaibouzu.
Umibozu, who had been approaching the convoy, finally couldn't hold on any longer. His body, which was more than ten meters tall, disintegrated into tons of water that poured down from the sky. A large wave rushed through the crowd and rushed to the bottom of the Makoto Group's headquarters.
"Kill it!"
Although they were a little embarrassed by the waves, the special assault team still cheered.
But before he could enjoy the pleasure of victory for long, Uchiha Senmon heard the exclamation of his teammates. "Command, there is an unusual movement of the Type A on the roof."
I saw Hoshigaki Kisame on the roof walk to the edge of the wall, bite his finger, stretch out a hand, and a drop of blood dripped from the fingertips and fell into the puddles on the ground.
The water column rolled up into the sky, and the original Umibozu reappeared, standing next to the three-story building.
"Immortal?"
Seeing that Kaibouzu, who had been killed with great difficulty before, had resurrected from the dead, the morale of the special assault force was lost, and their neat formation showed signs of disintegration.
The Kaibouzu, who was more than ten meters tall and taller than the roof of the building, stretched out a hand and placed it on the roof. Hoshigaki Kisame stepped on its palm and was lifted into the air.
"Mortal, if you can destroy the Sea Mage once, you have done a good job, but as long as I am here, as long as the Arakawa continues to flow into the sea, it will be immortal."
"You are lucky, I have already eaten today, so I will forgive your sins against me."
Hoshigaki Kisame clasped his hands together, and the huge Kaibouzu under his feet shook, then disintegrated into a waterfall, and the water rushed towards the Metropolitan Police Department troops.
Water Style: Takitsubo Technique!
"Hurry up and hold on to the heavy objects around you, don't let them get washed away!"
The surging waves directly pushed the convoy away, and the Metropolitan Police Department troops were thrown to the ground in a mess.
Uchiha Senmon held the door of the police car in his hand and saw the monster in the waves, wearing a classical green robe. He looked as majestic as a water god, stepping on the waves and disappearing into the Arakawa.
Chapter 62:063 Monsters also need to learn
Somewhere in Tokyo, in a shelter ten floors underground.
This is an underground shelter built during the Cold War to prevent nuclear war. It is buried deep underground, and the half-meter-thick lead-containing door is thick and sturdy, claiming to be able to withstand a nuclear explosion.
This type of underground shelter is not uncommon all over the world. After the end of the Cold War, most shelters were abandoned, but some were preserved by survivalists as doomsday bases, and some were even operated as luxurious shelters for the rich.
