Chapter 196 86: Shinagawa Landing (4k)

Earlier.

Somewhere in a remote place in Shinagawa District.

The Bridge Cave Hermit Makoto Ito ate his breakfast in a somewhat distracted manner.

It was a single-person breakfast borrowed from a certain family. He had already put the money on the dining table, hoping that the other party would see it.

But if possible, he would like to write one more message: Please don't eat white porridge and rice for breakfast anymore.

He even forgot to get the side dishes, resulting in his mouth being bland.

"If I'm not mistaken, Ogawa should have changed his job."

When he came here a few days ago, he unexpectedly saw his ex-girlfriend Ayami Ogawa, who seemed to have moved here.

If I were discovered, I would be causing trouble for the other party.

After swallowing the last mouthful of rice, he decided to move again.

Take advantage of Tokyo Bay and go around the coast to Edogawa District.

I just don't know who the destined person that the faker is talking about is. According to his current state, he can't get in touch with any other people at all. Those who deliberately approach him are all people with bad intentions.

Guarding such a treasure every day and being on guard against anyone who might have ulterior motives has caused him to suffer from a nervous breakdown.

Moreover, he didn't have a camouflage mask like the Jade-faced Fox and the others, so he could only hide himself.

During this period, he could clearly feel that the number of surveillance cameras in Tokyo was increasing crazily. Not only that, he learned from the people who solved the tracking that the Holy Infant used an unlimited wish to put a bounty on their heads.

The moment Ito heard the news, he felt a chill on his neck.

It’s over, I’ve become a card collector!
He had originally dared to appear in the urban area, but soon he became timid and began his career under bridges.

Even so, we have to be thankful that the Holy Infant seems to think little of this treasure and did not send people from the Holy Infant Society to encircle and suppress him. Now, the only ones who want to capture him to obtain the treasure or exchange a wish are the mercenaries of the big families or the people of the Special Affairs Bureau.

He could barely hold on to these people, at least he could run away.

Since he had decided to leave, he didn't delay. As there was nothing to pack, he got up and prepared to move.

But the uninvited guest has appeared.

"Mr. Ito." The smiling masked man appeared in front of him and blocked his way. "Can I borrow something from you?"

Ito sighed, not bothering to say a word, and turned and ran away.

But the masked man was incredibly fast and was next to him in an instant.

In Ito's surprised eyes, the other party seemed to knock him into the river beside him with a light palm.

Ito felt a sharp pain in his chest. He understood the opponent's strength level and did not want to get entangled any more. He tried to take advantage of this good opportunity to use the raging waves to leave, but found that the water flow did not seem to be under his control.

"It seems that the river is more willing to listen to me."

The masked man stretched out his hand and clenched it. The water flow suddenly became violent, constantly squeezing and surrounding Ito Makoto inside.

"Should I take it from your body, or should you hand it over now?" the masked man asked calmly.

"Cuckoo-"

puff!

Ito turned into a flaming fireman, and the river water immediately boiled and turned into mist and dissipated.

The flaming fist attacked the masked man, who continued to manipulate the river to attack him while dodging it with ease.

Difficult guy.

Ito had no choice but to use a super escape technique that he had never used before.

He just casually swept across the greenery, lit a tree, then pulled it up and threw it into the sky and into the distance.

瞬！
The fire giant suddenly disappeared on the spot, leaving only the steaming mist and the gradually calming river water. A large number of small fish and shrimps turned up their white bellies and red shells.

The masked man looked at the flaming wood going away and guessed what means the other party had used.

However, he had not expected this before, because Ito had never revealed this ability.

"It doesn't matter. If there is a first time, there will be a second time. As long as you still stay in Tokyo and refuse to leave." The masked man gently tidied his clothes and stepped into the shadows.

He didn't plan to chase the wood. After all, theoretically, he could throw it as many times as he wanted before his strength ran out. It would be better to think of some restrictive measures for the next capture.

Ricky, whose real body was in Yokosuka, took a sip of the Americano, wondering what method he could use to restrain the opponent's rather rogue escape method.

And why he had to stay in Tokyo.

According to signs, the other two fox-masked men who participated in the attack on the bestowing elixir ceremony have left Tokyo and headed west, but the details are unknown.

But Ito is wandering around Tokyo, as if he is dying here. Is he really just gathering intelligence? Or does the faker have other plans for him?
Richie likes the feeling of unraveling the mystery. Who knows, he might even get an unexpected surprise.

Unlike the tranquility on Richie's side, a certain department in the base seemed a little tense.

"How long has the coastal sonar anomaly lasted?"

"It has just passed eight minutes. We have preliminarily ruled out the cause of the fault and determined that the visual range environment does not match the sonar results."

"How's the backup sonar response?"

“The results are consistent.”

"Hoo, organize the information. I need to report to Commander Rich."

The officer wiped the sweat off his forehead, feeling a deep sense of uneasiness in his heart.

As a navy, they have reviewed that special naval battle in the Mare Islands countless times.

And the scene now is so similar to that day.

God help them, they don't get hit by two hydrogen bombs as well.

After all, he heard that there are still quite a number of people who are listed as missing persons and cannot receive compensation.

What the hell, can you please survive under a hydrogen bomb? Most people won't even have ashes left. Did they disappear and reincarnate in another world? They should have detonated a hydrogen bomb on the White Palace and let those high-ranking officials perform a Jedi survival show.

Putting aside his complaints, the officer quickly presented the sorted information to Ricky.

A moment later, two destroyers sailed out of the base and began further confirmation, while in the commander's conference room, the emergency plan was discussed.

"If this is the trajectory of its movement, then the target of the 'Octopus Monster' is likely to be the coast inside Tokyo Bay. Commander, perhaps we need to notify the Japanese officials and let them prepare for the response."

".At this speed, how long will it take for the octopus to reach the shore?"

"Fifteen to thirty minutes."

"Notify Koichi Abe, and arrange for the base to be prepared for war. All response plans should be ranked according to the probability, and all should be prepared. We must be prepared for saturation response and try our best to end the battle without using nuclear weapons." Richie did not dare to say to destroy the giant octopus. After all, it seems that the last two nuclear bombs failed to kill it, and it is not even known whether they have had a counterproductive effect. This time, they can only hope that at least one of the plans discussed by the experts can produce an effect.

However, when the puppy climbed onto the shore, they were all dumbfounded. Their assumptions were wrong! No one told them that this thing could climb onto the shore!

Abe family residence.

Abe Koichi answered the phone respectfully. Even though the person on the other end couldn't see his expression, he still bowed almost ninety degrees and kept responding. He didn't look like a new force that has emerged in the political arena in this period of time.

After hanging up the phone, he straightened his back again, was silent for a while, and first chose to call the royal family, and then the Minister of Defense.

After everything was explained, the superiors were notified according to normal procedures and the matter was submitted to the Prime Minister.

Soon, helicopters began to take off from the Special Affairs Bureau headquarters and headed for the coastline. After the last plane took off, airlines began to implement air traffic control, and Tokyo would be temporarily closed.

The atmosphere began to become restless, alarms were sounded in coastal areas one after another, and a large number of residents ran to shelters in a daze.

"It can be confirmed that the monster's target is the Shinagawa area."

"Prepare the electromagnetic cannon, aim at the tentacles that may extend at any time!"

".Sir, is that a tentacle?"

The subordinate stretched out his hand in a daze and pointed to the distant shore.

You can see a big dark hand that pushed away a large amount of sea water, stretched out from it, and flattened a low building. Then, a huge black head popped out from the sea level, and its red eyes seemed to look around with fresh curiosity.

The officer's mouth trembled: "Fire!"

Two destroyers equipped with electromagnetic railguns launched the first round of attacks.

The bullet hit the back of the giant beast's neck at several times the speed of sound, splashing a layer of black substance visibly.

The puppy let out a cry of pain, and its huge body continued to climb out of the sea. The sea water flowing down its body to the land was like a heavy rain.

Some people who were not evacuated in time ran away from the beast crying. Now those open-air shelters could not give them any sense of security at all.

The second round of electromagnetic cannon attack was launched, and the projectiles once again shot into the body of the giant beast, oozing dark brown blood.

The puppy couldn't bear it any longer, so he turned his head, opened his mouth wide, and sprayed a large mouthful of green sticky substance at one of the destroyers.

Snapped!
A large amount of the stuff with a strong strange smell was contaminated on a destroyer.

The hull seemed to be unaffected, but the sailors began to feel dizzy and had nosebleeds, and their vision was spinning. Even the captain, who was separated by a layer of armor, had horrific feelings of flesh and skin falling off his body, and his brain seemed to melt, losing all ability to think.

After spitting out unstoppable blood, the captain fell to the ground weakly with the walkie-talkie in his hand, unable to utter a word.

"The Basilone has lost its response! Abnormal radiation concentration has been detected in this area! Exceeding the threshold of the detection equipment!"

"Arrange the Lucas's retreat."

Ricky frowned at the monster in the picture, not sure what its relationship was to the giant octopus.

Is the giant octopus really dead, or is it still nearby? However, according to the sonar detection results, there should be only one huge monster.

"Begin mining and blockade Tokyo Bay."

"Notify the Japanese authorities that we will be bombing the behemoth."

The staff officer was stunned: "Commander, there is no need to discuss this with them."

"This is a notification, not a discussion." Ricky glanced at the message on his phone, "Execute immediately."

"Yes! Commander."

Because of the advance warning, there were not many people on the coast, but that did not stop the puppy from having a lot of fun. It seemed that it liked to destroy things by nature, and it did not care whether it was destroying people or buildings. With a casual sweep of its thick tail, a large number of low buildings would collapse.

The helicopter of the Special Affairs Bureau was on its way, but even though there was still a long distance between them, they could still see the huge black beast that was sixty or seventy meters tall and stood out from the crowd.

"You must be kidding! We're going to fight this thing?! Even if we put our bodies together, we won't be able to take a single slap from it!"

Toyokawa Kamisei wants to run away.

How to fight it! Bite it to death? !

Where are the Self-Defense Forces? Self-Defense Forces, come and save us. I will never again call you good-looking but useless losers.

Everyone looked solemn. Indeed, facing such an extraordinary enemy, they could not think of any good battle plan.

"We have to go out and observe from the outside first. The US military has informed us that it will launch a bombing. We will make plans based on the situation."

Takeshi Noguchi also didn't think that the Special Affairs Bureau would be a match for such a behemoth.

This is beyond the limits of their capabilities, but as a special affairs bureau established to deal with extraordinary events, they have to show up.

Unfortunately, William returned to the United States. I heard that he joined the President's staff. The person who replaced him as the head of intelligence was a conservative guy who was difficult to communicate with. Otherwise, at least they could understand the US military's next plan in advance so that they could respond.

"Do you have a pen and paper? I want to write a suicide note to Mom and Nanako."

"That decorative button in your pocket is a will recorder. I told you, just unplug it when you need to use it. It also has a cloud upload function, so they don't have to worry about not receiving it." Takashima's cold and ruthless voice came through the headphones.

Toyokawa shut up and prayed that no nuclear bomb would drop.

In the sky, fighter planes streaked through the clouds, leaving a trail of dust, and launched the first wave of forward missile strikes towards the behemoth.

Bang bang, two balls of fire exploded, but the puppy seemed to be fine. He looked around and didn't find out who hit him, so he continued to destroy the building.

"Conventional missiles can do little damage." Noguchi at the Special Affairs Bureau's command center recalled the incident with the Flame Giant. At the time, Ito Seiji also became very large. At his largest, he was no bigger than the current lizard monster.
His eyes lit up slightly as he recalled the intelligence from some time ago.

Immediately return to the position and start searching.

【Ayami Ogawa】

[Changed job on December 12 and moved to Shinagawa Ward]

Find the Intelligence Department and ask the new chief to contact the people who are monitoring her and share the latest information about Ito.

"They are now taking refuge at the Oi Racecourse."

The new section chief Elvis quickly handed the information and the man's contact information to Takeshi Noguchi.

Looking at the map, the Oi Racecourse is very close to the coast and is also quite close to the current location of the black monster.

".And this, about Ito, about fifty minutes ago, surveillance cameras and people witnessed a fight between a masked man and Ito near the baseball field in Shinagawa District."

"You are also in Shinagawa District. I never thought that one day I would have the possibility of cooperating with you." Noguchi said softly.

He quickly sent the information to Takashima at the front: "Takashima, use the broadcasting system of the Shinagawa District to let Ito, who may be there, know that 'Ogawa' is taking refuge at the Oi Racecourse."

Elvis said nothing and sent the information which might be useful to Ricky.
