Chapter 34 Countermeasures Bureau
Less than 15 minutes later, the person that Yuzuru Nagayama had been waiting for finally came in. A middle-aged man brought two young people around 18 years old, one boy and one girl. The boy was sunny and handsome, and the girl was quiet and beautiful. They kept checking the two bodies, focusing on the body of the woman.
Because the distance was too far, even if Nagayama Yuzuru used his spiritual power to strengthen his Yin-Yang eyes, he couldn't see what they were doing. They just kept circling around the corpse of the Neti Bride. According to his estimation, they should be the official organization that he had heard about.
The Tokyo Mystery Countermeasures Bureau is a loose organization that specializes in handling all abnormal events in Tokyo. It is so well-known that even Fujiwara Iori, who has been waiting for his daughter for a month, can find out about it.
Of course, although the Tokyo Countermeasures Bureau is the only official demon hunting organization in Tokyo, it is by no means the strongest, not even the largest. It is just a regional organization that specializes in maintaining social operations. Its position is similar to that of a paranormal militia organization, not even a police position. If it can be ignored, it will be ignored, unless it causes a big impact, otherwise it is unclear how much it can contribute.
While Yuzuru Nagayama was watching the show stealthily, at the same time at the scene of the corpse, a decadent middle-aged man in a suit was looking at the scene in surprise.
The middle-aged man's name was Maki Eguchi, and he was the captain of the mobile team of the countermeasures team, responsible for emergencies. Just now, they received a wire report that many spider-like monsters appeared near the river bank and were fighting with people, so they came to take a look at the situation.
Before setting off, they also considered that the monsters were very powerful. If all went well, they would report to the higher-ups in the Countermeasures Bureau, or hand the case over to a capable organization nearby. Unexpectedly, they got a bargain as soon as they arrived, finding two intact corpses of monsters.
The young man and woman are his subordinates. The man is Kurosawa, a martial artist of the Hokushin Ittoryu school. The woman is Kudo Momoe, and both she and Eguchi Naoki are sorcerers, but Kudo Momoe is a barrier master, while he is an Onmyoji, a member of the Tianyan Onmyoji Ryo.
The three of them first observed and saw that there were no other enemies, so they began to collect useful parts of the monsters. Dismemberment, skinning, etc. were clearly divided into different tasks. As professionals, they were not like Yuzuru Nagayama who didn't know the value of the parts. They knew clearly which parts could be used to refine weapons, make medicine, or even serve as waste materials.
In addition, they picked up two monster corpses for free. The two young men and women were very happy. Only the middle-aged man was experienced and never relaxed. He quickly used a knife to cut open the muscles of the corpse of the new woman to check the bone age of the monster.
The so-called monster bone age is similar to the rule of looking at the age of a tree from its annual rings. Different types of monsters have different rules, and it is a skill that requires a lot of experience.
When Maki Eguchi cut open the bone marrow and learned the monster's age, his face changed slightly and he blurted out the answer.
"It's less than ten years old. It's a hot thing."
Kurosawa was dismembering the body of the new woman, and when he heard the captain's words, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Captain, what's the problem?"
When he heard the captain's age, Kurosawa was shocked. Because the appearance of the new woman was charming and mature, which definitely met his aesthetic standards of an older sister. This beauty was actually less than 10 years old, which was really "scary" in a sense.
As a rookie who has just started out, he still knows too little about monsters.
Maki Eguchi put down the work at hand and explained while making a phone call.
"This spider demon is a netherbane. The demonic power left in its corpse is probably at the third level, which is already the best among ordinary demons. But this demon is less than ten years old. Do you know what this proves?"
Kurosawa Kawa is a warrior and has only a vague understanding of monsters, but Kudo Momoe, who comes from a family of sorcerers, instantly understood the key point.
"This proves that the monster has great potential. It is either the descendant of a powerful monster or has had some extraordinary experiences, such as devouring many humans and not being wiped out?" The key point made the three people feel nervous. This web bride might have a backer, although the possibility is extremely low, but they don't need to gamble their lives for this little salary.
If they are unlucky enough to encounter the elder monsters seeking revenge, they will become scapegoats, taking the blame for the person who actually killed the new woman.
The militia organization has its own attitude. Most of the weird things that the Countermeasures Bureau usually deals with are only level one and level two. Level three and level four are already monsters that are serious enough to be taken seriously. As for the powerful demons above level four, they are called high-level monsters, each of which is enough to leave its own name in the world.
For example, the first recorded Nezumi has left a deep mark in more than just ghost stories. During the Kamakura period, Nezumi attacked Kyoto, which was still known as Heian-kyo, causing great casualties. Although Nezumi was eventually repelled and sealed, it still left a fierce and beautiful impression on the public and was dubbed a great demon.
The three of them quickly packed up their things and planned to leave for a while, waiting for support to arrive before dealing with the body. At the same time, they contacted their remote support partners to inform them of the situation.
At this moment, something unexpected happened. A cold female voice was heard from the darkness.
"Did you kill my sister?"
The sudden sound startled the three of them. The talismans they placed around did not sound the alarm. The person who came was definitely not an ordinary person.
Turning around, I saw that the person who spoke was a black-haired woman in a purple kimono. She was tall and beautiful, with a voluptuous and attractive figure. Her cold and beautiful appearance gave people a feeling of being proud and aloof like a cold plum in the snow.
In the blink of an eye, the woman suddenly disappeared from her original position and appeared among the three people. Ignoring the shocked expressions of the humans, she squatted down, her kimono tightened to reveal the perfect curve of her hips. Her mutton-fat palm touched the pale face of Kiryu Tsui with a sad look. As for the other spider woman and the remnants of Yamashita Seiji, she didn't even look at them.
Seeing that the woman temporarily ignored them, the three members of the countermeasures team exchanged glances, hoping that the captain would come up with a plan, whether to escape together or separately. Because the black-haired woman was too terrifying, with her gradually increasing murderous intent and demonic power, Kudo Baihui, who was only at the second level, could not help but take a step back. It was also this step that caused the black-haired woman to stand up and turn around to look at them.
"You haven't answered me yet, did you do it?"
A huge demonic power erupted instantly, causing Kudo Baihui, who had the weakest physique, to feel despair as if she was standing naked in the snow, and the other two felt equally uncomfortable.
Naoki Eguchi's pupils shrank slightly, guessing that the other party was definitely not an ordinary monster, but probably a high-level monster that was enough to leave a story. At this moment, he felt very bitter. There were very few wild high-level monsters entrenched in Tokyo, and he actually encountered one.
Naoki Eguchi knelt down without hesitation and answered respectfully.
"Sir, your sister's death was not caused by us. We only came here to investigate the situation after receiving a report. As for who the murderer is, my superior, Maeda Satoru, will give you a reasonable answer."
Naoki Eguchi no longer cares whether his superiors agree or not. He just hopes that the other party can let them go. His own strength is just that of a mediocre third-level Onmyoji. He may not be able to defeat a monster of the same level, let alone a high-level monster.
