Chapter 65: Deceiving the World, Fooling Another Realm
Tokyo, Japan, Arakawa Ward, an apartment.
Ding-ling.
A mobile phone rang.
"What?! Are you sure you're not joking?"
After answering the call, Mori Takeshi's smile vanished, replaced by an expression of extreme solemnity; shaken by intense emotion, he shouted involuntarily.
Kamikawa Mitsu turned his gaze toward him, his eyes filled with surprise.
What was in the phone call that made Mori Takeshi shout in agitation?
"Alright, I understand. I will report to the Arakawa Police Station immediately to have them evacuate the residents."
Evacuate?
Kamikawa Mitsu frowned slightly.
What major incident could have occurred to warrant evacuating residents?
One must know that an order to evacuate residents is not something that can be issued lightly.
It involves many aspects; unless the situation is critically urgent, such an order cannot be given, because an evacuation order will cause panic among residents and bring about numerous severe consequences.
Just as Kamikawa Mitsu was curious about what major incident had occurred, Mori Takeshi, having finished his rapid conversation on the phone, hung up and rose directly.
"Kamikawa-kun, I apologize, but our treat for takoyaki will have to be postponed for now. Yoshimura and I have something urgent and must leave immediately."
"Mr. Mori, has something happened?"
Kamikawa Mitsu asked out of curiosity.
Since he had exchanged for the Great Nyudo, his strength was now incomparable to the past, reaching the level of a Great Yokai; with the hearing of a Great Yokai, he could hear all conversations around him, including voices inside mobile phones.
However, he was not a peeping tom; regarding the privacy of others taking phone calls, he had initially chosen not to eavesdrop.
Only when Mori Takeshi shouted aloud did Kamikawa Mitsu feel compelled by curiosity regarding the call Mori Takeshi had received.
Unfortunately, by the time he wanted to listen in, the call had already ended.
"Nothing much; it's just that the Arakawa Ward has been quite chaotic recently. Rest assured, nothing will happen to you."
Mori Takeshi did not state the reason, merely comforting Kamikawa Mitsu and his sister.
He was clearly afraid to cause them panic, especially since major events like the Yunhu incident had recently occurred in the Arakawa Ward.
"Oh, by the way, public security has been poor recently; do not go out unnecessarily. If you encounter any trouble, call me immediately, and I will come over."
Before leaving, Mori Takeshi gritted his teeth, appearing as though he had something to say but held it back.
Then, without waiting for Kamikawa Mitsu's reply, he pulled Yoshimura and hurried downstairs.
Kamikawa Mitsu stood on the apartment floor, looking down to see Mori Takeshi, who had reached the first floor, speaking something to Yoshimura.
As they conversed, Yoshimura ceased to be calm, his face changing abruptly.
They did not notice that the face of Kamikawa Mitsu, located on the third floor of the apartment, was also changing, filled with utter shock.
"A Yokai!?"
Kamikawa Mitsu whispered in shock, his eyes full of disbelief.
Driven by curiosity about Mori Takeshi's phone call, Kamikawa Mitsu began to eavesdrop on their conversation after the two left the house, and the result was that he heard something incredible.
A Yokai had appeared in the Arakawa Ward, and currently, the Yokai was slaughtering on a massive scale; over a hundred civilians have already been killed or injured, and casualties continue to expand.
"Is someone pretending to be a Yokai?"
Kamikawa Mitsu frowned tightly.
As the mastermind behind the Yunhu incident and the cause of the Yokai, he naturally knew the Yokai were fake; it was all a one-sided production directed by himself.
Clearly, he was not creating any Yokai now; how could there be someone else causing trouble and killing over a hundred people?
He could not figure out what was going on.
Could it be that Mori Takeshi did this intentionally, to test whether he was the deceased King?
Boom-boom-boom.
As if to verify this incredible news, Kamikawa Mitsu felt something, suddenly gazing toward the distant sky, his pupils contracting.
A pitch-black moonlit night, a star-sparse sky, the moonlight dim.
Helicopter after helicopter flew across the distant night sky, all heading in one direction.
These were not ordinary helicopters, but armed helicopters.
Unusual! Absolutely unusual!
In the middle of the night, with helicopter after helicopter deployed, the matter was absolutely unusual.
"Nii-san, come look at the TV quickly."
From inside the house behind him came the voice of Kamikawa Chie, her tone filled with surprise.
Hearing this, Kamikawa Mitsu turned and walked into the house, looking toward the television.
The television was broadcasting news.
"Latest report: In Higashiohisa, a town under the Arakawa Ward, specifically the Tsubayashimura area, the police are implementing evacuation of local residents and personnel control.
Furthermore, all transportation to Higashiohisa has been completely blocked, prohibiting any unrelated personnel from entering Higashiohisa.
According to the reason given by the police, the reason for implementing personnel evacuation is suspected to be a fierce wild beast descending from Higashio Dashan near Tsubayashimura in Higashiohisa, where residents have been injured and killed by the wild beast.
To prevent further casualties to innocent people caused by the wild beast, the police have decided to evacuate local residents, seal off the area, and capture the wild beast.
Currently, the police have not yet provided casualty figures; specific details will only be obtained after our reporters arrive at the scene..."
Kamikawa Mitsu's gaze burned as he stared at the news broadcast.
Higashiohisa, a town under the Arakawa Ward? Tsubayashimura? Wasn't this exactly the place Mori Takeshi and Yoshimura were rushing to, which he had just overheard them discussing?
That was precisely the place where the Yokai appeared and caused over a hundred deaths.
"Nii-san, what kind of wild beast do you think descended to injure people?" Kamikawa Chie asked Kamikawa Mitsu.
"It's probably wolves."
On his lips, Kamikawa Mitsu spoke of wolves injuring people, but deep down, he did not believe it was wolves.
Wolves injuring people can indeed kill or wound hundreds, after all, wolves are pack animals, but no matter how numerous the pack, no matter how ferocious, it should not require armed helicopters to be dispatched to eliminate them.
Those were armed helicopters equipped with powerful machine guns and other heavy firepower equipment.
Moreover, Kamikawa Mitsu even saw that one armed helicopter was clearly equipped with anti-tank missiles and autocannons.
Anti-tank missile autocannons, as the name suggests, are used to fight tanks.
Fighting a pack of wolves with missiles meant for tanks? What a joke; using an ox-cleaver to kill a chicken isn't done this way, and even if one hated wolves to the bone, there was no need to deploy anti-tank missiles; this was not blowing the wolves into slag, but into ash, perhaps leaving not even ash behind.
"Either there are terrorists, or... there truly are demons."
Kamikawa Mitsu made his judgment.
Ding! The Script System triggers, the villain has been provided; please, Host, write the corresponding script and complete the script.
A cold system voice rang out sharply.
Kamikawa Mitsu suddenly froze.
Giving me a script mission at this moment?
Instinctively looking at the script panel, the villain's information caused Kamikawa Mitsu's mind to tremble.
"Otherworldly creatures? Demons??"
He rubbed his eyes hard, thinking he had seen wrong, but after checking the villain's information repeatedly, he confirmed he had not seen wrong.
【Villain Information】:
A creature from another world.
This creature is named Xie Jie, humanoid in body shape, with a pair of antelope horns on its head, and six eyes...
It is a personnel sent out by an otherworldly invasion of other worlds, its strength is not insignificant, its nature is fierce and cruel, and it enjoys eating residents of other worlds...
Looking at the system's villain panel, dense with information, Kamikawa Mitsu fell silent and murmured.
"Otherworld invasion, otherworld demons, Sacrifice Master."
The villain information provided by the system was sufficient, covering from the creature's appearance and name down to the otherworldly creature's personality, and even who sent him; the information was so detailed it was more detailed than "coming to check the water meter."
As a transmigrator and reborn one, facing the massive volume of information regarding an otherworld invasion, Kamikawa Mitsu absorbed it quickly, without the slightest panic, and made a rapid response.
He spoke to the system in his heart.
"System, consume script points; I want to know the size of the otherworld where the otherworldly creatures reside, the population count, creature strength, combat scale, and all such information; I want it all.
And that otherworldly creature named Sacrifice Master, I want that too."
Having spoken thus, Kamikawa Mitsu paused his words, then spoke again.
"Additionally, System, consume script points, help me investigate clearly whether my world has any supernatural powers or demons."
Prior to this, Kamikawa Mitsu had always believed there were no demons, gods, or such things in the world, but now with an otherworld invasion, he was forced to re-examine this world.
The next second.
Ding! Consumed 5000 script points, acquired all information regarding the otherworld 'Void Demon Realm' where Xie Jie resides.
In an instant, a complete set of information named 'Void Demon Realm' appeared out of nowhere in Kamikawa Mitsu's mind; the content included who the Sacrifice Master was, the size of that world, the population, strength, who the strongest was, what powerful factions existed, and even the history of that world.
Ding! Consumed 1000 script points, investigation of this world complete; reporting to Host: this world has no demons, gods, or any supernatural powers whatsoever, only ordinary humans and ordinary plants and animals.
The cold system voice rang out.
Kamikawa Mitsu raised an eyebrow and muttered to himself.
"No supernatural powers? Now, should I say it's getting more interesting, or should I say the scope of my lies needs to expand?
It seems I not only have to deceive the world, making them believe demons and monsters truly exist in the world, but I also have to deceive the otherworlders, and not only deceive them, but make the otherworlders believe it without a doubt, convinced that this world is a powerful realm where gods and demons run rampant, causing them to tremble."
