Chapter 370 Higashi Hidemi Leveling Up

Tokyo,

Metropolitan Police Department.

"Director,"

A clerk rushed in with a tablet in hand.

"This is an extraordinary message from the 'civilian' side, sent from the non-professional waters."

The man behind the desk looked up.
Director Zhu Ya, who was working overtime as usual, pushed up her non-prescription glasses.

"Is it very important information?"

Since the supernatural incidents could no longer be covered up, the Metropolitan Police Department has opened a dedicated emergency hotline and email address to receive various supernatural disasters and information from the public.

Although most of them end up being "humans scaring humans" or something similar, some of them do involve the supernatural and provide a lot of material for the Metropolitan Police Department's supernatural files: whether it's an evil spirit or a supernatural being, their actions are always traceable.

As long as it's not completely illogical, humans can find weaknesses and deal with them at minimal cost!
"Yes, it involves 'Poison Island' and 'the one' behind her."

?

Upon hearing the clerk's reply, Director Zhu Ya's expression turned serious.

Speaking of which, Poison Island is a major headache for the island nation's government.

Possessing the 'eye of God' of Susanoo, and running around causing trouble for superhumans, his personality as a man-slaying demon is somewhat similar to that of the legendary Susanoo.

Unfortunately, she was involved with 'Ootengu' and even 'Susanoo': the government could only turn a blind eye and send 'Tenma Ai no Mikoto' with the same background to fight her off. Not only did they not hunt her down, but they also secretly protected her relatives and friends.

There's nothing we can do; they have powerful connections.

Higashi-Izumo High School, far away in Shimane City, remains a place of tranquility and peace.

For a school to produce two extraordinary masters, it's no exaggeration to say that the place is blessed with outstanding people and resources; moreover, it's the hometown of two captains of the Underworld and the place where Master Zhixiong 'proved his Dao,' making it even safer.

"Um?!"

Director Zhuya was stunned as she looked at the tablet in her hand, because the information was so detailed!

Around 5 PM, on the outskirts of Galena city, S-class wanted criminal Drug Island appeared.

'She excels at using lightning to cover her body for defense, enhance weapon sharpness, and accelerate movement. She also possesses fire-type supernatural abilities. She has a technique called 'Field Formation,' which first forms a cloud of fire and then draws in lightning; its power is immense. Supernatural beings below the Tiger level should not attempt to withstand its attack without special defensive measures.'

Her "Divine Eye" can influence even extraordinary beings at the level of a powerful tiger using illusions; remember, never face her alone!

"Great Tengu" Chuutoku-in was a refined middle-aged man, approximately [height missing].

"This intelligence is classified as S-level secret!"

After reading the intelligence, Director Zhuya's face contorted, and she couldn't help but rub her temples.

When did I ever have such a fierce general under my command?!
That's right, the guy who sent back intelligence through civilian means is definitely one of his people from the Metropolitan Police Department!

Both the standard action report format and the terminology used within the Metropolitan Police Department gave away the other party's identity.

But doesn't this guy realize that sending messages back like this will inevitably lead to eavesdropping by other countries? Seriously... never mind, it's not hard to see many problems from this intelligence report.

Director Zhu Ya closed her eyes and quickly sketched out the events in her mind: around 5 o'clock, a Metropolitan Police Department superhuman encountered Poison Island on the outskirts of the city of Galena in the northern part of the city, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

However, what's terrifying is that the victor was that superhuman who belonged to the 'Metropolitan Police Department'!
Given Busujima's personality, if she were the victor, this intelligence would never have been transmitted back. Moreover, the intelligence described Busujima's combat capabilities in great detail, exactly the same as the top-secret files collected by the Metropolitan Police Department, making it impossible for it to be fabricated.

Furthermore, the text provides a detailed description of the 'Great Tengu' of the Shotoku-in Temple.

In other words, this superhuman not only defeated Tokushima, but also escaped unscathed from the clutches of the Great Tengu?

How could Director Zhu Ya not have a headache?
How could this director be unaware of having such a courageous subordinate?!
Their strength is roughly between the level of a powerful tiger and a demon.

Absolutely amazing!
"Go down,"

Waving for the clerk to leave, Director Zhuya subconsciously handed the intelligence report to her side:
"Holy Son, what do you think?"

The arm froze in mid-air.

The director then realized that Fuji Seiko was dead.

Is it possible that Yi Hua, that guy, is following her best friend Tianma Ai Ming around, and that the Metropolitan Police Department's superintendent doesn't even have a capable assistant to consult?
"call,"

Director Zhuya put down the intelligence she was holding, her expression complicated.

As for the bizarre strength of this superhuman within the Metropolitan Police Department, Director Takeya could understand it.

In the extraordinary world, strength is not static. If one obtains a powerful 'shikigami', an extraordinary sword, or even a divine artifact, one can achieve a leap in strength.

Director Zhu Ya himself is a case in point. He used to be an official who only knew how to practice military boxing; after obtaining the 'Explosive Blade', he became a top fighter in the Tiger class.

Therefore, it's not hard to understand this extraordinary individual's behavior; he didn't want to reveal the source of his power.

"Very well, it's good to be able to step onto that battlefield at this time."

Moreover, such detailed intelligence was transmitted back.

It can be considered a fight for humanity.

In the past, Director Zhuya would have wanted to mobilize all available resources immediately to dig it out and send it to deal with the supernatural disaster.

But now, with his capable assistants leaving one by one, this 'pillar of the nation' is somewhat bewildered.

"Wow, Director, you're actually slacking off?"

Kawai Mai, who had just entered, looked shocked, as if she had seen the sun rise in the west.

"Mayi,"

"Who in our Metropolitan Police Department do you think can beat Dokushima?"

Upon hearing Director Takeya's words, Kawai Mai raised her hand and nodded her chin childishly.

"impossible?"

Even if we include Iori-senpai and Seiko-senpai, plus you and me, we should be able to defeat Busujima.

It was just a matter of repelling them; after all, that poison island could accelerate with lightning, and they couldn't catch up with it.

"Go ahead and get busy, it's not your fault."

Director Zhuya waved for the 'super smart guy' to leave.

At the same time, an order was issued to retrieve the list of five Metropolitan Police Department members who were not in Tokyo.

But what's the point of doing this?
Able to defeat Busujima

Countless countries would be willing to invite him to oversee their affairs at any cost:

High-ranking positions, generous salaries, money, beautiful women, and the admiration of thousands—why stay in this island nation, a volcano that could erupt at any moment?

Inconsiderate
The outskirts of Sabra.

"Another day has passed,"

"Yeah, I wonder what tomorrow will be like~~"

Several Allied soldiers leaned against the watchtower, smoking and chatting.

Throughout northern Vienna, there are various bunkers, sentry posts, and buildings that have been repeatedly reinforced with high-grade military cement.

Since the main enemy is the celestial demons in the sky, trenches have become meaningless, so there's no need to roll around in the mud. But these soldiers would rather roll around in the trenches, at least they can hide or escape. Now, as long as the line is breached, it will be a massacre without a doubt.

How many more military merits do you need?

"Stop thinking about it, there are still two-thirds left, fuck—"

Several soldiers from an unknown country gathered together; since they were all from the Commonwealth, simple communication was no problem at all.

"According to propaganda from the rear, the extraordinary medicine has begun 'mass production' and is being prioritized for supply to the military."

Some soldiers couldn't help but curse aloud as well.

"Fake!"

"To gain military merit, one must kill extraordinary beings; and to kill extraordinary beings, one must be an extraordinary being."

It's a vicious cycle.

"In the past, being a demon was considered a military achievement, but now only being a synthetic beast counts?"

"Why don't you let those council members come and kill them themselves?!"

"You know what,"

Another older, unshaven middle-aged soldier took a puff of his cigarette and picked up the conversation.

“Those council gentlemen can really kill chimeras.”

"You don't actually think all the extraordinary drugs were used on the front lines, do you?"

How can it be!

Various supplies were continuously flowing in from the rear.

All countries have launched large-scale conscription programs.

Anyone without Chinese citizenship will be treated as a "deserter".

Countless ordinary young men in the Commonwealth either fought as soldiers of their own country or as deserters in 'punishment battalions' or similar groups, truly with nowhere to turn.

While the soldiers were constantly being decimated, considerable gains were also achieved: a large number of surviving demons and the corpses of chimeras were continuously sent to the rear, where they were transformed into extraordinary potions—a portion of which was distributed as 'military merit rewards' to outstanding soldiers. The other portion:

"They all ended up in the pockets of those lords!"

The situation is critical at the front, while the rear is well-fed.

"Fuck, it's hopeless!"

"Where is Yahweh, the Lord of Hosts?"

"Forget about Yahweh, I only trust the gun in my hand, if I can obtain the extraordinary potion."

Pfft!

The soldier hadn't finished speaking when

The dull blade emerged from his mouth.

? !
"Enemy attack——"

With a whoosh, another dull samurai sword flashed past, and the soldier who had just opened his mouth to shout was sent flying into the air, half a cigarette falling from his stubble-faced mouth.

"Area C-2-4 has been attacked!"

"Area C-2-4 has been attacked!"

As the sentry was attacked, searchlights immediately converged, exposing the perpetrator.

They were several extraordinary beings dressed in black, with black trousers and black veils covering their faces, like island nation 'ninjas': beneath the black veils, their sallow faces and cloudy eyes were visible.

"A stealth assassin?"

"Damn!!"

"Move to higher ground! Move to higher ground! Don't stay on the ground!"

Lights shone throughout the entire defensive line, and soldiers, not yet dressed in bulletproof vests, rushed out of the camp with their weapons and ran towards the higher buildings.

If we were to create a "hate list" for the extraordinary beings of the Nine-Tailed Fox's faction, aside from those super-powerful demons, these mummified ninjas known as "underground assassins" would definitely occupy the top spot.

It even surpasses 'Black Flame', because facing Black Flame you just have to wait to die, while facing 'Hidden Assassin' you have to struggle painfully.

In the end, not only will there still be a lot of casualties, but they won't even get any 'military merits'!
That's right,

Other extraordinary beings, at least, leave behind corpses as military merits;

These 'underground assassins' only need to hide underground to make the allied forces work for nothing.

One by one, dark figures slithered swiftly underground, their numbers and locations unknown, keeping everyone on edge and helpless.

"Hurry up!"

"what!"

"My leg—"

Soldiers pouring out of the camp were constantly wounded and killed by weapons thrusting out from the ground.

Da da da da,

boom! boom! boom!
Unable to withstand the pressure, some people instinctively raised their guns and fired at the ground.

"Don't fire indiscriminately, you idiot!"

"Get to the high-rise buildings, everyone run!"

Faced with such superhumans who can move rapidly underground, most weapons are rendered ineffective: even the 'underground unit vibration sensor' that was urgently developed and delivered can only lock onto a general location, and before any attack can be launched, the opponent has already swum away to who knows where.

As for burying landmines underground.
Although those 'underground assassins' are mindless mummies, they are not truly stupid. They could easily avoid them by diving a little deeper.

With the earth as their 'shield,' attacking these 'underground assassins' is as difficult as ascending to heaven!
All the soldiers were desperately retreating to higher floors, trying to avoid the enemy first.

As for a counterattack—pouring firepower onto the ground?

It's just a simple waste.
Ok?
"Wait, what is that?"

As he ran, a soldier looked up and suddenly noticed a figure standing atop the command tower in the center of the battle line.

As he subconsciously raised the muzzle of his gun, the tactical light mounted on the gun shone on the other person.

Many people followed the soldier's lamp and shone their own lights in the direction of it.
The figure with a black background, red clouds, and a straw hat covering his face was clearly revealed.

"Don't shoot!"

"That outfit belongs to the 'Dawn Organization'!"

As one of the 'mysterious organizations' active in this sea area, Akatsuki is definitely a top-tier force; strength and weakness are always relative. Although Akatsuki's several achievements are 'ordinary' in the eyes of top experts, they are absolutely earth-shattering in the eyes of ordinary soldiers and the Allied Forces.

"Those annoying lights, can I cut them down?"

Under the straw hat,
A domineering voice rang out.

"Don't do that, Nobuna-nee."

"Looking at it from another angle, could it be said that they provided the stage lighting for 'our' entrance?"

While comforting Oda Nobuna inside her body, Higashi Takami observed the battle situation.

"They're all mummified ninjas."

Some trouble.

These mummified ninjas are practically 'old acquaintances'; the Metropolitan Police Department has detailed information about them and methods for dealing with them stored in several warehouses.

But ultimately, they all try to move upwards or lure them out to the ground to destroy them.

Those who can punch through the ground are an exception.

Higashi Xiaomei's own safety is definitely not a problem; besides, there are also Sister Yiyue and Sister Xinna. These 'mere' wolf-level extraordinary beings are not worth a second thought.

However, for the ordinary soldiers on the defensive line below, they were undoubtedly a deadly enemy.

"How should we deal with this kind of enemy, Nobuna-nee?"

"I have plenty of ways to deal with a bunch of rats that only dare to hide underground. But—"

As the former "Sixth Heaven Demon King" who was once a "powerful demon", Oda Nobuna naturally had ways to deal with these lesser demons.

"You have to deal with them yourself."

?

"If you want to do good deeds, you must have the power to match them."

"So? Should we leave, or..."

"I want to give it a try."

Higashi Hidemi looked down at the soldiers struggling to escape.
Any one of them could have killed her a hundred times over, but now she can only helplessly flee everywhere.

Unlike the island nations that can barely maintain a semblance of 'peace,' the situation in the Philippines is a naked meat grinder: the strong emerge victorious, and the weak are reduced to bones!
Tap tap tap,

Amidst hurried footsteps,
What are those members of the 'Dawn Organization' doing?

As I ran up the stairs to the third floor of a building, a soldier looked out the window at the top of the command tower with a puzzled expression.

"Perhaps they were attracted by the commotion over here."

Another soldier carrying a rocket launcher ran up and spoke.

"Perhaps they enjoy watching us 'mortals' struggle?"

It's like a child watching ants fight.
"Shit!"

Another soldier suppressed the urge to unleash a burst of fire.

In the eyes of these superior beings, are their struggles nothing more than a pastime to pass the time?
"Moved!"

"Attention all units, be on guard against members of the Dawn Organization!"

The squad sergeant heard orders from his superiors through his headset: As for what to be on guard against? It depends on the situation.

If the opponent attacks, retaliate; if the opponent is too strong, retreat.
"Representation——"

At the center of countless eyes, Higashi Hsiao-mei raised her hands, closed her eyes, and focused intently on her work.

The Yin-attribute 'spiritual power' sketched lines out of thin air, and the change in its nature endowed these creations with magical characteristics: although they could only exist briefly for a dozen seconds, it was enough.

"Creation!"

One after another, palm-sized vajras appeared between Dong Xiaomei's hands.

The vajra is one of the ritual implements in Buddhism. Because of its hard texture, it can break through various substances, hence the name vajra.

Of course, the palm-sized vajras in Dong Xiaomei's hands are more symbolic than practical: these vajras are crackling with lightning, and the girl throws them with both hands.

"go with!"

brush,

Seven or eight 'Vajra's' flew across the battlefield and then plunged into the ground.

Crackling sound~~
Subtle flashes of lightning spread out, connecting the scattered 'Vajra' pieces.

"Lightning Array!"

As Higashi Hidemi raised her finger and gave a low shout, fragments of lightning covered the entire battlefield!

The lightning wasn't strong; it wasn't even strong enough to kill an ordinary person.

but--

Brush, brush, brush, brush, brush

One by one, mummified ninjas dressed in black and wielding black short swords were forced out from underground.

Lightning Release

It can counter Earth Escape.

This specification is determined by the nature of chakra!
? ?
“Fire—”

"Kill them!!"

The soldiers hiding in the high-rise buildings were taken aback at first, but then immediately aimed at these 'underground assassins' and unleashed a barrage of bullets and fury.

Ding ding ding,

Puff puff puff!

The mummified ninjas, of course, wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die; they all brandished their short swords and performed a 'slashing bullets' act.

However, they were only wolf-level after all, and under the barrage of heavy fire, their 'burrowing' ability was restricted, and they were quickly torn apart by the metal storm!
"Hahahaha, you son of a bitch, go eat shit!"

"We've struck it rich! Military merits! All of these are military merits!"

"Thanks to that sir!"

The soldiers who had eliminated the enemy looked up, only to find the command tower completely empty.
