Chapter 38: Using a Satellite to Catch Thieves?
Chapter 38: Using a Satellite to Catch Thieves?
After listening to Lin Yeming's analysis, Ju Jianhui fell silent.
Although Lin Yeming's analysis was based solely on the Taiping Customs and Records, the record of that thing's achievements is undeniable.
I'm not afraid of talk about ghosts and gods, but I'm afraid that the ghosts and gods mentioned in the Taiping Fengtu Ji (Records of Peaceful Customs) will appear.
However, they have no other clues at the moment and can only accept this speculation for the time being.
"In that case, let's prepare for the worst."
"The work of evacuating the masses must be carried out as soon as possible."
"At the same time, we must also be prepared for battle."
Megumi quickly made a decision and began assigning tasks.
"understand!"
Everyone responded in unison and quickly began to take action.
The evacuation operation began quickly.
The local police and the Victory Team worked together to notify residents door-to-door.
Although the residents were somewhat puzzled, they still cooperated and began packing their belongings.
At the same time, the Victory team also began to set up a defensive line near Mount Sukana.
They can react immediately if anything happens.
The area at the foot of Mount Sukuna has been sealed off.
No one other than members of the Victory Team and police officers is allowed to enter.
A cordon has also been set up around the deep pit at the foot of the mountain.
Is this the deep pit?
According to the Taihei Fudoki, after Sukuna-ki was defeated by Ida Iryu, his limbs were placed in various places. Finally, a temple was built at the heart of the demon, and the sword that had killed Sukuna-ki was used to suppress it.
"If the above is true, based on the body's distribution, this place is likely an arm."
"In other words, this place was created by punching."
Lin Yeming stood at the edge of the deep pit, looking down into it, and slowly voiced his guess.
"If that's really the case, then this Sukuna Oni is far too terrifying."
Lina stood beside Lin Yeming, swallowing hard as she looked at the deep pit.
A fist alone can create such a large crater.
If the whole economy recovers, what would happen?
"Now, we can only hope that our guess is wrong."
Horii sighed, hoping the guess was wrong, so that things would be better locally.
"Ye Ming, where is that temple?"
Zongfang suddenly asked.
Lin Yeming marked it on the topographic map.
After comparing the figures, Ye Rui was able to roughly determine the size of the demon.
"Based on the calculations, this is a huge monster."
"The specific images have been sent to your communicators."
The members of the Victory Team took it out and looked at it.
Good heavens, this is no ghost or deity!
This is clearly a monster!
Moreover, this size is too big!
"This is Sukuna-ki?"
"If that's the case, then things are in trouble."
Everyone looked at the picture on the communicator, and their expressions became serious.
This Sukuna Oni was larger than any monster they had encountered before.
Its sheer size alone is enough to cause immense destruction.
"Now, there are two questions."
Everyone looked at Lin Yeming with confusion, and heard him say, "The first thing is to find the Jingtian Sword."
"The second thing is that this ghost or spirit is probably intelligent, completely different from the previous monsters."
They immediately realized the importance of these two issues.
If they can't find the Ida Sword, then they'll have no choice but to resort to violence when facing the resurrected Sukuna Oni.
If they cannot defeat Sukuna-ki, given its destructive power, it could cause immense damage.
If Sukuna-ghost possesses intelligence, then things will be even more complicated.
Intelligent monsters are more troublesome than unintelligent ones.
Perhaps, Sukuna-ki will specifically target those who want to destroy him.
"Now, we'll split into two groups."
"Lina, Daigo, Shinjo, go and find Ida Ken."
"Yoru, Horii, come with me to the mountain to check the situation."
"If you encounter Sukuna Oni resurrecting, do not linger in battle, retreat immediately."
Zongfang quickly assigned tasks, and everyone immediately sprang into action.
One of the Flying Swallows departed from Mount Suna and returned to the base, with one person in the air and two people in patrol cars searching for it.
Soon, Ye Rui used satellite analysis to locate the thief gang; they were in a noodle shop in the area.
Daigo was surprised by Nozue's speed.
Lina retorted, "Using satellites to catch thieves, only the GUTS team could pull that off, right?"
Uemura couldn't sleep all night. Ever since he got the Well Dragon Sword, he had been feeling someone talking to him.
Adding to the eerie bronze statue, he couldn't even eat a bite of noodles in broad daylight.
"Let's return the sword...we'll just take the statue."
Toyota was quite displeased upon hearing this.
This guy used to be pretty daring, why is he acting like this this time?
He interrupted impatiently, "No, the most valuable thing is this sword."
"But I really feel like this sword is weird..."
"Strange? I think you're just a coward!"
Toyota scoffed dismissively, "What ghosts or gods are there in this world?"
"But..."
"No buts, let's eat quickly and leave here as soon as we finish eating."
Toyota impatiently interrupted Uemura and began to eat his noodles in large mouthfuls.
Suddenly, he stopped moving and his pupils contracted sharply.
"You...you all look..."
Toyota raised his hand, pointing shakily at the television outside the noodle shop.
The morning news is playing on the television.
"According to our reporter, a strange event occurred at Mount Suna last night. The ground at the foot of the mountain suddenly collapsed, creating a large pit."
"Currently, the police and the Victory team have launched an investigation..."
As they watched the news on TV, Uemura and Honda stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with terror.
Suna Mountain?
Isn't this the place where they stole the sword?
"Mount Su-na...that sword..."
"Let's... let's return the sword..."
Uemura swallowed hard and said with difficulty.
Toyota was also terrified, but he still tried to remain calm and said, "No... don't be afraid..."
"This...this is just a coincidence..."
"Coincidence? What a coincidence!"
"I think we should return the sword..."
Toyota said fiercely, "If I say it's a coincidence, then it's a coincidence."
He has already contacted buyers.
We can't let the duck that's already in our hands fly away.
Toyota's face lit up with joy, and he pointed at the experts on TV, saying, "Look, it's normal for Japan to not have earthquakes anymore."
"You can't possibly distrust the experts, can you?"
The two looked at each other and accepted his explanation.
After finishing their noodles, the three of them had just stepped outside when they were stunned.
The Victory Flying Swallow in the sky was aimed at them.
Two Victory Team patrol vehicles on the ground had their cannons mounted.
Others, including police cars and other people, confronted them with guns drawn.
What...what's going on?
They're just doing petty theft.
Even the Victory Team has appeared, and they've even deployed the Victory Flying Swallow.
Did they break a divine law?
The three of them trembled all over, and the timid Honda rolled his eyes and fainted.
The two quickly raised their hands in surrender.
