Uchiha Ming swung his hands downward, and the black mist suddenly spun downward like a giant black snake and poured into the round wooden barrel tied with a shimenawa rope.
The black fog almost condensed into substance, covering the round wooden barrel. Uchiha Ming took out a few talismans and stuck them on the edge of the barrel and the black lid.
Seeing that the status of Tsukimi Inaba in the apprentice list had changed from [near death] to [pseudo death], Uchiha Ming felt slightly relieved.
"Can this girl make it? I'm afraid it's not optimistic. Maybe 30% chance, no, maybe only 10%."
Although the side effects of the Awakening Pills were curbed by the sealing technique, Uchiha Ming was not very sure whether Tsukimi Inaba could survive.
The cursed seal has already corroded Tsukimi Inaba to the bone marrow. The sealing technique used by Uchiha Ming is only a simplified version of the Four Black Mist Formations that the original Sound Four used on Sasuke, and its effectiveness can be said to be unsatisfactory.
But this was the only way Uchiha Ming could think of in a hurry to save Tsukimi Inaba.
Even Uchiha Ming doesn’t know the current condition of the wooden barrel.
Just like Schrödinger's cat, Tsukimi Inaba is now in a state of being dead but not dead.
Whether she will break out of her cocoon and be reborn from the fire, or die silently in the coffin, it mainly depends on her own will to survive.
He couldn't intervene after that.
But if Inaba survives in Tsukimi, it means he has mastered the second curse seal and gained a power powerful enough to take revenge.
"There's only a 10% chance of survival? I never thought I would do a business where there's a high probability of not getting my investment back."
Uchiha Ming couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
"I thought I was a cold-hearted person. I'm a born evil kid from the Uchiha clan, but I can actually feel compassion. Is it because Tsukimi Inaba is younger than me? Or is it because he doesn't have parents like me..."
Although it was just a momentary emotional act, Uchiha Ming did not regret it. After a calm analysis, he did gain something.
This time, I finally caught the fox tail of the monster called teacher!
Uchiha Ming had a strong premonition that as long as Tsukimi Inaba was in his hands, the mysterious King of Tokyo Monsters would come to him sooner or later.
"So, the decisive battle? It's coming sooner than I thought."
Uchiha Ming covered his eyes with his hands. Between his fingers, the three-magatama Sharingan flashed a scarlet and ominous blood light. He couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"As long as I have these eyes, I will be invincible! Hahahaha!"
Looking at the Nakano Park after the battle, which was in ruins and with fallen trees and broken roots, Uchiha Ming stopped laughing and spoke to the hut that was cut down by Tsukimi Inaba Iai:
"Fire Escape·Tou Ke Ku!"
Flames burst out of its mouth like a cannon, and the fire bomb exploded violently on the hut. The fire waves spread in all directions, forming a sea of fire in an instant.
But Uchiha Ming did not stop there. He clasped his palms together, puffed up his mouth and blew:
"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"
A powerful storm spewed out of its mouth, and the fire, fueled by the wind, ignited all the woods deep in Nakano Park in an instant.
The sky was about to brighten and the sun had already shown half its head, but the blazing fire and the flames reaching into the sky were more dazzling than the sun itself.
This fire is the torch that is lit before the ceremony begins!
Chapter 83 Taxi Shock
It was noon, and in broad daylight the streets around Kasumigaseki 2-chome in Chiyoda-ku were connected in all directions, with people coming and going and a constant flow of cars.
You can see the Metropolitan Police Headquarters building in the distance.
"The guest has arrived."
A taxi slowly stopped near a crepe stand. The rear door was opened, but no one got out. After a moment, the door closed automatically.
"Have a safe journey."
After the taxi driver finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator and slowly drove away.
But unfortunately, when the wheels were about to touch the zebra crossing at the first intersection, the red light came on. The taxi driver could only curse his bad luck and put his hands on the steering wheel in boredom, silently counting the decreasing red numbers on the traffic light.
Suddenly, the taxi driver shuddered and looked around blankly.
"That's weird, where is this place? Why did I drive here?"
The taxi driver stuck his head out of the window and took a look. As he had been traveling around Tokyo all year round, he quickly confirmed the approximate location, which was Chiyoda Kasumigaseki. But why did he drive here for no apparent reason?
He looked at his watch, then slapped his head and racked his brains to recall what had happened after noon.
I clearly remember what side dishes the Jiro Ramen had for lunch, but my memory of the thirty minutes from lunch to now is vague and unclear, as if I were recalling something from decades ago.
I have to go to work in the afternoon and I dare not drink. Why do I feel like my brain is blacking out?
Could it be Alzheimer's? But I'm not even sixty years old!
The taxi driver turned on the driving recorder and looked at the vehicle's journey.
"Huguo Temple Cemetery..."
The taxi driver looked at the starting point of the recent ride and felt a chill running up his spine, instantly making his scalp numb and cold sweat break out on his forehead.
At this moment, he remembered!
Although Gokokuji Temple in Bunkyo Ward is also a famous temple, the cemetery in the western half is sparsely populated and desolate. It is still early for the Obon Festival, and apart from family members who come to pay homage to their relatives, there will be no tourists or pilgrims who would bring bad luck to visit the tombstones.
After I finished lunch, when I passed by the Huguo Temple Cemetery, I saw someone quietly waiting by the roadside...
No, that is not a person at all, but something unspeakable!
When he was driving past, he just glanced at it casually, and then, as if he was possessed, he drove over as a matter of course and took that person or thing into the car.
"Huhuhu——!"
The taxi driver rested his forehead on the steering wheel, his face filled with unconcealable horror and shock.
"What the hell is that?"
Although he still couldn't remember what the thing looked like, or whether it was a human, the taxi driver remembered that although the thing didn't say a word after getting in the car, he still knew its destination and drove the car all the way here.
Not only that, on the road, the taxi driver, like all drivers in the capital cities, talked incessantly about all kinds of political secrets and gossip, but that thing remained silent from beginning to end, and he did not feel anything was wrong. Instead, he was very talkative and tried to talk to it.
It was not until it got off the car that the taxi driver noticed something unusual from the data from the dashcam.
But, but...
"Are the passengers picked up at the Huguo Temple Cemetery really human? Or are they something that crawled out of a grave?"
Although it was broad daylight, the streets outside the car window were bustling and lively, with fashionably dressed urban girls holding bubble milk tea and laughing, and neatly dressed senior office workers walking hurriedly with laptops, but the taxi driver still felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave and was shuddering with fear.
At this time, the green light had turned on and the cars behind the taxi began to honk impatiently.
The sound of the horn broke the taxi driver's state of being unable to move due to fear. His lips turned pale, his pupils trembled, and his hands shook as he opened the camera equipment placed in the taxi.
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it! Maybe I have Alzheimer's disease!"
The taxi driver opened the in-car surveillance video recorded today, jumped to the most recent period, and then played it at double speed.
Then, then he saw, and saw nothing.
In the surveillance video, after the taxi driver stopped at the Huguo Temple Cemetery, the door was opened and then closed automatically.
However, the camera did not capture anything getting into the car, and the back seat was empty and no one was visible.
The taxi driver drove off with an empty taxi.
The camera didn't capture anything except the taxi driver talking and laughing loudly and naturally along the way, mumbling to himself neurotically, and occasionally talking to the empty back seat.
It was like having a hysterical attack, as if I was talking to something invisible.
The development of the incident, which was like a horror movie, and the terrifying atmosphere, which was like a horror movie, completely frightened the taxi driver.
It really is a ghost!!
At this time, the cars behind the taxi had formed a long line, and the shrill horns kept honking. But a minute later, the taxi was still motionless. A sturdy man with road rage rolled up his sleeves and got out of the taxi, banging on the taxi window rudely:
"Are you deaf? Are you blind and can't you see the green light? You are deaf and blind and yet you drive a taxi!"
The driver's door of the car was suddenly pushed open from the inside, causing the man to stagger and fall on his buttocks. Then the taxi driver rushed out from inside, screaming like a ghost:
“Ahhhhh——!”
The taxi driver, wearing only one leather shoe and a sock on the other foot, tumbled and crawled off the road to the sidewalk, yelling and shouting as he ran.
"It turns out he's a psychopath!"
The sturdy man who was pushed to the ground originally wanted to step forward to argue, but when he saw the taxi driver looked like he was having a mental illness, he was frightened by him. He could only spit on the ground angrily and return to the car.
"Japan is really going to be ruined. Eighty-year-olds are driving taxis, and now even psychopaths can drive taxis!"
After the taxi driver yelled frantically for a few times, his voice suddenly seemed to be strangled, and he stopped, his eyes empty.
Huh? What happened?
Nothing happened.
The taxi driver walked back to the taxi with a stiff expression and drove away.
Because the distance was not far, the commotion at the intersection attracted some people's attention. The waiter at the crepe stand stuck his head out and looked over curiously.
However, he didn't notice that there was an extra coin on the counter, and a crepe he had prepared was missing.
In the back alley of a commercial street that was out of reach of cameras and no one noticed, the light in the void suddenly twisted, and a transparent figure turned from virtual to real and appeared in the same place.
A handsome young man wearing a red-cloud black suit with two tear grooves on his face, holding a sweet and delicious strawberry crepe in his hand.
With a touch of his finger, he wiped the cream at the corner of his mouth into his mouth.
'Uchiha Itachi' looked calmly at the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters building not far away, the three magatama in his eyes slowly turning.
Chapter 84 Infiltrating the Metropolitan Police Department
This morning, Uchiha Senmon got up early and prepared breakfast for three people. He waited and waited but did not see Tsukimi Inaba coming down. He knocked on the door of the guest room and found that she had left without saying goodbye.
Uchiha Senmon felt a little regretful about this.
Uchiha Ming, who was spreading jam on toast, certainly would not tell Uchiha Senmon that Tsukimi Inaba was hiding in his room.
However, the monster king named teacher might come looking for him, so hiding in the Uchiha family would be courting trouble.
So Uchiha Ming moved the wooden barrel containing Tsukimi Inaba to Gokokuji Temple and left a few crows to keep watch nearby.
There are other considerations behind hiding Tsukimi Inaba in Gokokuji Temple.
If Tsukimi Inaba could survive, everyone would be happy. If she was ultimately unable to resist the erosion of the curse, Uchiha Ming would be able to follow her last wish and bury her with her parents in a grave where they could see the cherry blossom trees.
At the Gokokuji Cemetery, Uchiha Ming used the Sharingan to hail a taxi and arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department Headquarters at Sakuradamon.
This time, he came to the Metropolitan Police Department to collect spy intelligence.
Uchiha Ming was very curious about how much the Japanese official forces knew about supernatural existence. He also wondered if the official forces had found any clues from his previous attempts to use the pseudonym of a supernatural being to cause trouble.
Compared to the monster organizations that hide in the dark like sewer rats and spy on this bizarre city, the Japanese government is the real master of this country.
Although the current threat is the Tokyo Monster King, Uchiha Ming remains wary of the Japanese government and even regards it as the imaginary enemy in the next stage.
The powerful illusion of the Three Magatama Sharingan gave Uchiha Ming great confidence. This time he wanted to go deep into the "Dragon's Den and Tiger's Lair" of the Metropolitan Police Department.
"The Sharingan's illusion can obscure the five senses of humans, but it cannot deceive electronic cameras. However, with the transparent escape technique that burst out from the chameleon monster, the combination of the two can achieve a perfect crime."
Uchiha Ming finished the strawberry crepe in his hand in big mouthfuls, and his figure became transparent again and disappeared from the spot.
The security outside the main gate of the Metropolitan Police Department is not very tight. After all, this is the heart of the Metropolitan Police Department with 40,000 police officers. No blind thugs would dare to attack here.
The transparent Uchiha Ming followed the crowd, avoided the security gate, and sneaked into the Metropolitan Police Department with an incredibly smooth process.
The office of the Fifth Section of the Ministry of Public Security is on the tenth floor.
Uchiha Ming chose an elevator with fewer people in front of the lobby on the first floor. He was only invisible now, not illusory. If he was squeezed by the crowd in the narrow elevator, the people in the elevator would also react, and he might even be caught by the camera in the elevator.
At this time, a familiar young police officer walked into an elevator alone.
The three magatama in Uchiha Ming's eyes turned slightly. Wasn't this the young and inexperienced police officer he met at the headquarters of the Makoto Group while wearing the disguise of Hoshigaki Kisame?
Looking at his police rank, he was actually promoted one level higher than before, from Chief Patrol Officer to Chief Patrol Officer.
Uchiha Ming's mind moved, and he walked into the same elevator silently.
The young police officer did not notice that there was an extra person in the elevator and directly pressed the elevator button for the tenth floor.
As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Uchiha Ming glanced over and found that the security on the tenth floor was even tighter than the main entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department.
The ceiling was covered with cameras. In addition to a group of burly guards armed with police weapons, there were two black wolfhounds lying on the ground.
