I have to move forward.
The monk's thoughts were unprecedentedly strong. Find out the truth!
The sudden deaths might also be part of the secret of the Yokosuka base. Ordinary citizens and government officials were all affected.
Was it the great terror of the base that went out of control?
Or was it the government that started a massacre regardless of friend or foe?
Or was it the mysterious power that urged him to move forward?
In order to drive him forward, they disregarded human lives and killed people.
"Crack." The monk clenched his fists tightly. If it was the last case, he swore to find the murderer even if he had to die.
They drove him to Yokosuka, and for this purpose, they disregarded human lives.
"Master, you make the decision. If you don't make a decision, the crowd will all run away!"
"The entire DouZi City is in a mess."
He took a wooden stick and stood up. The monk's robe was a little dim.
"Let's go forward.
We will be fine. The secret of the Yokosuka base has only revealed the tip of the iceberg. "
"You mean … these deaths are all …"
The crowd and the police scattered like birds and beasts. No matter how the police minister called, only two or three people gathered.
Even if he shot at the sky with a pistol, he still couldn't gather the fleeing people.
The sound dissipated in the chaotic crowd. It was useless even if he shouted with a high-decibel loudspeaker.
"What's going on?
It's definitely the work of a transcendent. By the way, Moribe Takeo, where's Minister Takeo? "
"Minister Takeo has retreated to Yokohama, but he's on his way."
"Minister, what should we do now?"
"We can't retreat. Even if it's only a few of us, we must defend the front line."
Island nation naturally didn't have the responsibility to defend the land, but if he ran away at the last minute, he wouldn't even have the last fig leaf of his position as minister.
"They're rushing over. There are hundreds of them!"
"They're coming!"
"Impossible, how can they still gather people?" The minister's eyes widened. What the hell, how can a group of smelly old men be so organized?
"Charge!"
Two hundred fearless demonstrators sprinted forward with the monk at the center. They were like a huge wave in the middle of a great river, forcibly stopping the rushing waves.
What made them fearless was not the obsession in their hearts to find out the truth, but the prestige of the monk. He was like a shining sun. As long as they stayed by the side of this great monk with divinity, they would not die. The master was the only one who could feel at ease in the midst of the monstrous waves.
"Huff, huff."
Flying in the air, the NHK film crew looked at the messy ground in a daze. Even though it was night time, they could see everything clearly with the help of the street lights.
The small Touzi Market was noisy. The crowd and the police were two completely different torrents from the color of their uniforms.
The screams of the refugees could be heard clearly even at a low altitude. There were also the faint sounds of gunshots, but the sudden change in the situation didn't seem like one side attacked first. It was more like the two sides were thrown into chaos at the same time, like rice and flour being smashed into a ball with a puff.
Even the film crews from other countries also ran away like a wisp of smoke. There seemed to be a great terror on the ground, and the strange changes in the situation made people panic.
Only the little black bug crawling on the ground let go of the targets in the sky.
"It's broken. The police's line of defense has been broken." The cameraman carrying the machine didn't know where to shoot now.
"What should we do?
I think it's better to get out of here as soon as possible. "
"Follow them!"
"Okay …"
The helicopter's searchlight illuminated the crowd. This light was much more powerful than the headlights of the vehicles. It was impossible to open one's eyes when it shone on their face. However, the people without anti-air weapons could only curse.
Everyone in the Yokosuka base was in a state of panic. It was destined to be a sleepless night.
The top experts gathered in the open space of the base. The smartest people in the world suppressed their fear and thought of a way to escape.
"That's the point, the suspicious point!
Look, there are people dying in every corner of the base, regardless of position, gender, or age. However, the situation on these ships is different. "
"If this is a plague spread between people, or a curse, in the case of the movement of people in the base, the navy and navy should also be infected by this strange meme, but …"
"But of the thirteen ships, only four have died, and the other nine are intact."
Another expert took over the conversation. "What is the reason that prevented these nine warships from dying? As long as we find the reason, we can make a big step forward. No, even now, we can make a huge progress. This is not a plague!"
"Water, could it be water?
The meme that caused the deaths is afraid of seawater, and then we can deduce that this meme is not transmitted through the air, nor is it transmitted from person to person … The reason for the few deaths may be that the navy that docked at the shore carried the meme back to the cabin from the land. "
In order to save their lives, the smart people were working at full speed, and the higher-ups of the base were equally busy.
The moment the police line of defense was broken through, they heard it. Listening to the same description of the deaths in Touko City, they could not help but feel their scalps go numb.
Things were out of control, and the horrible deaths had spread outside, and it was as far away as Touko City.
To the north of Touko City was Yokohama, and next to Yokohama was Tokyo!
"Don't panic!
Look. "
"Our Yokosuka base, Touko City.
At present, only these two areas have broken out one after another, but in a large area of cities and towns along the way, there have been no reports of any deaths. This is more proof of what we just thought. This is not a plague, but a man-made disaster! "
"Someone deliberately caused deaths in these two places. This kind of death can only be spread on land, and this evil force may be lurking in our base … or in the marching procession!
His target must be something in the Yokosuka base. "
The heart of the man in the black room, who was eavesdropping, was already in his throat, but the last sentence made him feel a little more at ease. No, what he wanted was not something in the base, as long as he could leave the base, leave the Island nation, it would be fine.
"Demi-God!
First, send Moribe Takeo to stop the crowd, and isolate and screen the survivors of the base. "
Moribe Takeo rubbed the space between his eyebrows. The more he thought about the information on the other end of the phone, the more stifled he felt.
Be it the police or the crowd, both sides were just ordinary people working hard for different goals, but why did a transcendent have to attack the innocent?
Just to achieve his goal of not being seen by others?
"Is this monk also a transcendent?"
"Yes."
The receptionist of the Supernatural Hall deliberated over his words. "We don't know what his goal is, but the sudden outbreak of death this time is very strange …"
"Did he do it?"
"I don't think so."
He could only be vague about this kind of specific question. "It's just a guess, just a guess, but the defense line just happened to be in chaos, and they just happened to break through. This is too much of a coincidence."
"I understand."
The helicopter flew all the way from Yokohama to Miura Peninsula.
Shouba Takeo nodded as he looked at the advancing troops below him. "Leave it to me … I'll be troubling you to take care of the innocents. Make sure there are no more casualties."
It was already late at night, and the starless night was not quiet at all.
…
The crowd gathered around the monk became more and more at ease as they walked, and their stable morale became higher. From Touko City to now, there were no new casualties.
This was a miracle. The monk was indeed a capable and accomplished monk!
There was nothing to be afraid of when they were with the master. Even if the black muzzle blocked their way, they had the confidence to walk through it.
From the first half of the night to the second half of the night, the hundreds of people seemed to have entered an uninhabited land.
"Another helicopter is coming."
"Ignore it, let's go our way."
The crowd only wanted to walk their own path, but the helicopter in the sky flew low and slowly descended in front of them with a huge gust of wind.
"The government … what tricks are they playing now?"
The crowd was like a flock of sheep on a pasture. Under the lead of the sheep, even if there was a cliff in front of them, they would jump down one by one.
However, when they saw the man jumping down from the helicopter, the people in the front row walked slower and hesitated.
A broken arm, white hair, and an ordinary appearance. These three characteristics were very recognizable among the people. Osaka Prefecture's Supernatural Hall Minister — Moribe Takeo.
Moribe Takeo's empty right sleeve was blown up by the strong wind. He simply picked up two fingers of his left hand and wiped them on the cuff of his sleeve.
Flames appeared on his fingertips.
Whoosh.
His entire sleeve was burned by the flames, and black ashes were blown away by the wind.
This action was comparable to making a fireball with both hands to light a cigarette. It was cool yet dangerous. Although the crowd didn't stop walking, they could see the deep hesitation in each other's eyes.
If Shiroda Yuki was said to be a political star promoted by the Island nation, then Moribe Takeo was almost a national hero created by the government. He was the national signboard.
He had almost no negative experiences, and his personal story was full of twists and turns. It was rumored that Kamen Rider wanted to tailor a new drama just for Moribe Takeo. Even if they couldn't invite Moribe Takeo to perform, they would at least use Moribe Takeo's character and mix it into the story.
The people accompanying the monk weren't anarchist thugs. They just had a special request. Moreover, all of them were pursuing justice for the right to know.
Both sides were fighting for justice.
They seemed to overlap with Minister Moribe Takeo. They were both fighting for justice and for the people. Therefore, Minister Takeo should be able to understand them … they were all the same.
"Moribe Takeo?"
Nodding at the person who called his name, Moribe Takeo smiled shyly. "Yes."
"Minister Takeo, are you also going to stop us from moving forward?"
"I'm sorry, it must have been hard for everyone to walk all the way here," Moribe Takeo nodded. "But you're not allowed to pass in front. You should stop here."
An impatient person directly stepped forward and shouted angrily, "Moribe Takeo, I didn't expect even you to betray the government and become a lackey!"
"Working for the black-hearted government."
"To think you still call yourself a righteous person. This isn't righteousness, it's darkness!"
In the face of everyone's cursing, Moribe Takeo was unmoved. The crowd had their own righteousness, and he naturally had his own righteousness.
The innocent people were just bewitched and did stupid things. As long as everyone could calmly sit down and talk, they could solve the misunderstanding between each other. There was no need for people to fight to the death.
"Huff, huff."
The helicopter that was hanging in the air quickly rose up. Moribe Takeo simply sat on the ground and blocked in front of them like a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
He didn't say a word, but his aura was natural.
"Ignore this scum and lackey. Let's continue forward."
Ignoring Moribe Takeo who was sitting on the ground, the people who had experience in fighting continued to move forward.
"Let's stop. We can't go any further." Moribe Takeo shook his head. He was very annoyed by the stubbornness of the people.
"Whoosh!"
He reached out his hand and drew a line in front of him. Dazzling flames exploded on the ground, and the area five meters in front of him suddenly burst into flames.
"Whoosh!"
The fire extended to both sides like a long snake. In just a few seconds, it pulled out a terrifying blockade.
The color of the flames was terrifying, and black smoke rushed into the sky!
"Ah!"
The people who were taking big strides forward suddenly stopped. The temperature of the flames was too high. Even if they were more than ten meters away, they could still feel the burning sensation on their skin.
Moreover, the entire wall of fire was three to four meters high, and its thickness was equally shocking. They could only see Moribe Takeo's graceful figure behind the flames. If they were to rush through the fire, they would definitely die.
This was much more effective than the police line. Under Moribe Takeo's control, the flames didn't spread unscrupulously. Instead, they were limited to a certain area. If the crowd didn't go forward, the flames naturally wouldn't hurt them.
"Let's stop. There must be some misunderstanding. Let's sit down and talk it out."
Moribe Takeo also didn't want to use such a slightly violent method to stop the crowd. However, he knew his own capabilities. Naturally, he didn't have the ability to persuade everyone with words.
The crowd looked at Monk. Monk was their guide. Compared to the Master who was possessed by the Buddha, Moribe Takeo was still slightly inferior.
"Master, what should we do?"
"We … ordinary people can't stop the flames."
If they had a car, they might have dared to brave the sea of fire. However, without any protection …
Hearing the crowd's words, Monk looked forward for two to three seconds before nodding to his left and right. "All of you, retreat to a safe place."
"Yes!"
Hearing Monk's words, everyone nodded in high spirits.
"Quick, retreat. The Master is about to make his move."
"Is he going to fight with Moribe Takeo?
Alright, let's retreat. Quick! "
"Come on, Master! Beat that guy to a pulp and tear off his hypocritical mask."
After receiving Monk's instruction, the crowd retreated a few hundred meters. However, this distance was still not safe, so they continued to retreat. After all, this was a battle between two terrifying Transcendents. A city could be destroyed at any moment.
"Is it him …?"
Moribe Takeo's vision passed through the raging flames and vaguely examined Monk's appearance.
From his appearance, he indeed looked like a proper monk. However, whenever he thought about how Monk had bewitched the crowd and even caused the mysterious deaths of people, Moribe Takeo couldn't help but feel irritated.
Even the gods in the myths were divided into two elements, let alone ordinary people with Transcendents.
"The Master is moving."
Those with sharp eyes saw Monk walking toward the wall of flames and then stopping one or two meters away.
Everyone's mind was already imagining the scene of Moses parting the sea. As long as Master pushed forward with both hands, the wall of flames would instantly split apart.
