Chapter 289: 59: Ordered to Show Up
Autumn leaves fell with the wind, spreading on the streets that no one cleaned.
There was a lot of garbage piled up, with newspapers and plastic bottles scattered everywhere.
Most of the shops on both sides of the street have closed their doors and windows and have been closed for a long time. Even if the doors are open, the goods must have been cleared out so there is no need to worry about theft.
The sound of cars could be heard at one end of the street. The vehicles that were still appearing in the urban area were undoubtedly official personnel who were delivering supplies to the second line of defense not far away.
Even though it is estimated that the battle will not last too long, the Special Affairs Bureau must still take precautions. In case this is a protracted war, they cannot let their people go hungry.
In addition, some troops are also deployed on the second line of defense. Once the battle begins, military supplies will be consumed every moment.
An army rolled up the yellowed leaves and garbage and marched along the main road in an orderly manner.
It was not until the last car disappeared at the end of the street and a few pairs of eyes secretly peeked out from a shop with an open door to make sure the surroundings were safe.
"Hurry, they're gone. Take this opportunity to smash the window of that store. There are a lot of luxury goods inside. Once order is restored, we can sell them at 70% off and we'll all make a fortune!"
The leader was a thin man wearing a business suit, with shining eyes, encouraging the dream of getting rich to the people around him.
"Brother Ueda, the situation seems to be getting more and more wrong. I secretly took a look at those defense lines and it feels like they are serious." One of his men retreated slightly.
"When are you going to back down? We've stolen so many things these days, do you think you can still get away with it? The timid ones will starve to death, and the bold ones will die of gluttony! Don't you know that there are at least hundreds of gangs making money in Tokyo now? There are so many people, what are you afraid of? There are even hundreds of people sitting in front of the Soul Summoning Society every day. Do you think the officials will let them die? Absolutely not!"
Ueda pointed at the nose of the person who backed down and lectured him.
There was greed in the eyes of the other few people. The wealth they made these days was more than they could accumulate in their entire lives. As long as they could hold on, they could start a new life.
I guess the authorities have only made the worst-case plan, which may not affect them. At worst, they can just hide. I don't believe those demons will have so much time to find them all. The officials will definitely fight with them.
If they can get through this wave, they will be rich!
"Strange, the timid will die of starvation, and the brave will die of gluttony, isn't it both death?" a voice asked curiously.
"You're just throwing money around, this is just a metaphor. Starving to death is real, but dying of gluttony is not right! Come out! Who are you?!"
Ueda cursed subconsciously and started to explain, but after saying just two words he realized that the voice was obviously not from his team!
The five members of the small team immediately became alert and huddled together to look around.
"Well, I asked, okay?"
A boy who looked like a high school student walked out of the door scratching his head, looking a little embarrassed.
"Boy, what are you doing secretly?" someone shouted angrily.
The high school boy was suddenly speechless. He was not doing anything sneaky, otherwise he would not have asked the question proactively.
Ueda looked outside carefully and after confirming that it was only this high school student, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately became much calmer.
Five against one, the advantage is on my side. If anyone should be afraid, it should be the opponent.
"You guy, the last evacuation time has passed for several days, why are you still here?" Ueda looked the boy up and down, keeping the necessary vigilance, "Don't tell me, you also want to get rich, right?"
"I guess so." The boy didn't seem afraid at all. He even patted his backpack, which sounded full.
Seeing this, Ueda slowly smiled and gave a subtle look to the two people beside him. Several people slowly surrounded the boy, while Ueda spoke to divert their attention.
"You want to get rich at your age? That's really unrealistic. Fortunately, we met. Some gangs outside were fighting because they had their eyes on the same store. I heard that someone was killed."
"Ah? Is it impossible? I don't think it's that difficult. Just break the door open and pack up the things inside." The boy seemed not to notice that the door had been blocked. Instead, he opened his backpack and took out the things inside.
Ueda took a few glances and his face darkened immediately: "Such a good opportunity, you just steal these things? You still want to get rich?!"
The items in the backpack were indeed luxury goods, but they were just a few pieces of women's clothing and were not worth much money at all.
"Well, what did you get?" The boy seemed unconvinced.
"Tsk." Ueda unbuttoned his suit casually, and saw a lot of watches hanging inside. Judging from the brands, they were all good quality products.
He was not afraid of being seen by such a little boy, and this was not all he gained.
The boy seemed to be shocked, and his expression gradually became flattering: "Um, big brother, what's your name? Can I join you? I want 100% and these clothes are yours! How about that as my joining fee?"
Ueda felt a little disgusted and was about to refuse, but he saw the boy grit his teeth and took out a set of jewelry that looked very valuable.
"How about taking me with you, plus this?"
nice one!
Ueda licked his lips and thought for a while. If the boy only wanted 10%, it would not be a problem. If they encountered other gangs, the larger the number, the more intimidating they would be. At least they would not be so easy to be swallowed up, and they could take more at a time.
"Okay, I agree. Just call me Brother Ueda. I'll protect you from now on."
Ueda signaled to others, and the people who were surrounding him relaxed their vigilance.
"Um, what's your name, where are you from, and did you encounter any problems?" Ueda touched the set of valuable jewelry and asked the other party about his origins with a happy mood.
"Brother, my name is Fox Seven. I came from the Spirit Summoning Society. I'm here to find an opportunity to make some money. As for the situation, the official people have been making a big move today. Does that count?" The boy explained with a smile, not showing any dissatisfaction with the handing over of the jewelry.
That’s right, this is Fox Seven who met Ito Makoto in South Australia. After escaping from the town, she found a flight and flew directly to Tokyo. She had only stayed there for a few days before she encountered the big evacuation. She thought that by staying there she could get in touch with the extraordinary people and perhaps find out something, but now those extraordinary people like to gather together too much, and it is not easy for her to get close to them.
She disguised herself as an ordinary person and meditated in the Spirit Summoning Society for a few days. Seeing that the disaster mentioned by the Special Affairs Bureau was getting closer, she could not help but leave the Spirit Summoning Society, the outbreak point, and prepared to go to other directions to inquire about the news of the fox people.
However, if he went in with an extraordinary identity, it would be difficult to gain trust in the current situation. If he went in as an ordinary person, he would be afraid of being sent away directly. He had no choice but to hide in the city first.
By the way, find a few small gangs to join in and get some information. It doesn’t matter if there is no gain, just treat it as fun.
"Haha, a fake name, right? Okay, I'll just call you Fox Seven. It's natural for the authorities to take big action. After all, tomorrow is the day they announced the arrival of the extraordinary disaster. Okay, don't waste precious time. I guess we can only collect money for this day. We have to hide in the safe house early tomorrow morning."
"Hey, but I heard from those people in the Spiritual Summoning Society that there is actually no supernatural disaster. It is just a deception by the Special Affairs Bureau."
"Bullshit, neither side is a good person. It's better to believe that I'm the Prime Minister than to believe them!" Ueda scoffed at this theory and led everyone out, saying as he walked, "Such a big move will have too much negative impact. Whether it's real or fake, the Special Affairs Bureau will cause dissatisfaction. There's no need to do this. If I were extraordinary, I would just kill them directly. Why make so much trouble?"
"Chop off your head and drink, accept it as a dog! It's a pity that I'm not extraordinary. If I were in control of the Special Affairs Bureau, I would have the final say in Tokyo by now!"
"So the Chaofan disaster is real. Those who oppose it are just trying to fight for power. They don't even think about whether they are that stubborn. Wouldn't it be better to just be a rich man? It's only because I'm not the head of a big family, otherwise I would be the first to lick the crap. Chaofan will definitely not treat me too badly!"
"Then I will continue to speak ill of other families and let Chaofan eliminate them. I will then take the opportunity to annex them and serve as Chaofan's white glove, isn't that good?"
Fox Seven was very impressed when he heard these "lofty ambitions", thinking that the man was truly a man of great adaptability.
It's just that he was born in the wrong era, otherwise he might have stirred up some trouble. "Since you believe what the officials say, Brother Ueda, why are you still staying here? Why don't you run away?"
"Risks and rewards are directly proportional. We are just gambling. As for you..." Ueda clicked his tongue twice, but he was too embarrassed to say "total idiot".
As a young college student, even if there is no hope for him to rise in social class, he should not be as miserable as these five people.
Two pachinko souls, completely penniless, one is a criminal who escaped from prison and has nowhere to go, the other is a middle-aged divorced man who is greedy and values money more than his life, and him, a swindler who was released from prison after serving his sentence.
There's still plenty of time left, so there's no need to gamble your life.
However, since the other party is on the boat, he will not let him get off easily. If they want to die, they will die together.
If I can really survive, it wouldn't be unacceptable to give this kid a 10% share.
Fox Seven seemed not to notice the hidden murderous light in Ueda's eyes. As if he was full of longing for financial freedom, he helped others break in through the window.
After everyone entered the luxury store, Fox Seven saw that no one was willing to look at the wind, so he smiled and went in, patting Ueda on the shoulder.
"Brother Ueda, can I ask you one more piece of information?"
Ueda threw a large sack at Kitsune: "Fill it in, and ask questions while you're filling it in!"
"That is to say, with so many extraordinary people coming to Tokyo this time, have you heard of any extraordinary existences regarding animals?" Fox Seven asked while casually rummaging through her branded bag.
He had asked this question to many people. Most ordinary people didn't understand this, so she didn't have much hope.
"There are many supernatural forces. The animals you are talking about are the once-noisy [Wild Domination], or the natural kingdom that carved out a piece of land to be king, or the various supernatural animals without wisdom that once wreaked havoc around?"
Contrary to Fox Seven's expectations, this guy seemed to know a lot.
"Haha, in the Internet age, there are only things you don't want to know. Even if the top leaders are keeping it secret, I can guess it through certain behaviors. Forget it, you are weird, and you are just another silly boy who wants to regain extraordinary animals and dream of becoming a pseudo-extraordinary."
Without more information and experience, how could he be a qualified fraudster?
"You are worthy of being the eldest brother. In fact, I have seen the legendary fox man before. He is so beautiful," Fox Seven boasted.
Ueda was speechless. How dare he think that? Has he watched too many anime? He really thinks there is a fox fairy girlfriend waiting for him.
"You are even more outrageous than I thought, fox girl? I have a group, and it seems that I mentioned before that among the extraordinary people who are responsible for protecting a certain settlement on the night of the full moon, there is a person with fox ears and tail, but he is wearing a mask, so I can't see his face clearly, but you don't have to think about it."
Fox Seven smiled brightly. Now he could at least confirm with a high probability that what Ito said was true.
There really is a tribe of fox people in Tokyo, and they have now joined the front line against the supernatural disaster. The question now is, in which defense zone are the fox people?
"Boy, is this the right attitude for work? Do you think your hands are just for decoration?!" One person couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing that Fox Qi spent half a day packing only a few bags and was still picking and choosing, he couldn't help but scold him.
Fox Seven threw the sack down casually, disappeared instantly, and punched the man who was speaking on the leg.
With a snap, it broke crisply.
"Ah!! What the hell!! Asshole!"
The man held his calf, which was broken at 90 degrees, and cried out in pain.
Fox Seven didn't care about other people's reactions. He just returned to his previous position, looked at Ueda with a smile, and asked, "Besides what you just said, do you know anything else?"
"Super, super? I, that's all I know. If you don't believe me, you can look at my hands. They're out of power. I really didn't lie to you. I only know that there was such a thing. Both fox people were women. One had big breasts and the other had long legs. Both were very white. They must be stunningly beautiful under the masks - that's how that person described them. He's an old pervert and I'm not!"
Fox Seven picked up a crystal ornament nearby and threw it behind him while Ueda was covering his head with his hands in fear.
A dull sound was heard, and the crystal fell safely to the ground. However, a person who wanted to escape secretly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, groaning in pain and struggling.
"Use your information to guess which area they will be assigned to? Make a bold guess. It doesn't matter if you guess wrong." Fox Seven looked at him with a smile, like a high school student politely asking for directions.
Ueda felt like crying and said casually, "North, it should be North."
"What's the reason?"
How would I know!
"Wait, process of elimination! I know how to do it, I know how to do this!" Looking at Fox Seven's narrowed eyes, Ueda's desire to survive burst out, and he said hurriedly, "The east, the east must be the legendary Holy Infant Society, because the Huajin Hotel is there! You should know that is the headquarters of the Holy Infant Society, right? So eliminate it!"
"To the west are the legendary Divine Grace Warlocks. We just sneaked over from the defense line over there. They have a lot of people. I guess it's enough without the support of other forces, right?"
"Then it can only be the north and the south. I've ruled out two directions for you. Is that ok?"
Ueda begged for mercy pitifully.
Fox Seven nodded, confirming that this was the opponent's limit.
"Row."
"thanks, thanks!"
"What are you thanking me for? Did I say I'd let you go?"
"!"
"Since you have chosen to rob a house, and there are no police to deal with you, you can choose between breaking an arm or breaking a leg."
"Stop, stop issuing it?"
Following a few screams, Fox Seven clapped his hands and walked out of the luxury store.
Without stopping, she quickly went to the north to check it out. After guarding it for a whole night, she found many extraordinary beings from the Special Affairs Bureau at the defense line. She was almost discovered and quickly ran to the south.
But at this moment, the sun has risen.
A new day has arrived.
If you look at the calendar, this is just an ordinary day. Perhaps there is some international holiday designated by the United Nations that no one celebrates. But for the Special Affairs Bureau and many extraordinary people who have been preparing for a long time, this is undoubtedly an extremely important day.
".The sun is shining brightly. The crimes you have committed for hundreds of years and millions of people cannot be hidden from the eyes of the Supreme Being. The Tokyo Soul-Calling Society, in the name of a shrine, worships the devils of hell, commits atrocities, and fosters the evil of the people. There are countless bones, blood, and evil deeds. I borrow the name of the Supreme Being to order you demons, ghosts, and monsters to go away."
"Reveal yourself!"
