388 Aftermath
The warm morning light quietly sprinkled on the ruined city like a ruin after the earthquake, but it could not dispel the biting cold.
Last night, the giant tornadoes, which rose from the ground in the black fog and suddenly disappeared, destroyed more than 60% of the buildings in the entire Taito District in less than an hour.
After the "holographic projection gate" and "sarin hallucinogenic gas" disappeared and the power was restored, a rescue team formed by government departments, enterprises and civil society groups spontaneously entered Taito District.
Hundreds of rescue teams, like tiny ants, roam the rubble, searching for people who might be crushed beneath the collapsed buildings.
From time to time, helicopters flew through the air, hovering over areas blocked by the wreckage of the building and no longer accessible from the ground.
On the outskirts of Taito District, countless construction machinery is roaring to clean up the building debris and vehicle wreckage that were shattered by the tornado.
The entire Taitung district is filled with a breath of aftermath of life.
The dark red gates in the night sky, the eerie black fog that can disable all energy sources, the huge tornadoes that come and go, and the huge black shadows that suddenly appear in the black fog and disappear with the giant gate......
Until now, people all over Japan still have no realistic sense of what happened overnight in the bustling Taito Ward.
Although the ninth lesson evacuated the masses in advance, the Yin-Yang Liao opened the formation in time, and temporarily controlled the grievances and the ghosts flowing in it within the scope of Taito District......
But if it weren't for the sudden dissipation of those tornadoes, the giant gate in mid-air, and the black fog below disappearing for some reason, I am afraid that the endless gushing of resentment and the hidden existence in it would have been enough to break through the great array at dawn and turn the whole of Tokyo into a ghost snake that grounded the living.
Although the people of other parts of Tokyo do not know that they have passed through hell, they are still shocked by the devastation and razing of the city, and they cannot help but recall the catastrophe that occurred 100 years ago.
On September 1, 1923, a strong earthquake of magnitude 8.1 struck the Kanto region of Japan, covering areas including Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, Shizuoka, and Yamanashi, killing 150,000 people, damaging 300,000 buildings, leaving more than 2 million people homeless, and causing property damage of 6.5 billion yen.
Although the government has always explained this series of events in terms of "holographic projections", "cult terrorist attacks" and "coincidences with natural disasters", while implementing quite high-pressure control of public opinion......
But it can't stop the discussion of various online channels, and various versions of the "truth" are walking in the hearts of the people.
Countless netizens claimed that after the appearance of the giant gate, they encountered all kinds of strange things, and even met their deceased relatives......
Even among the people, there are believers who claim to have witnessed a huge blurred black shadow closing the gates of hell, and began to spontaneously organize worship of the "Black Buddha in the mist".
Just when the entire Taito District was shrouded in suspicion, and the post-disaster rescue was in full swing......
The Kuramae apartment, which is the center of the entire incident, is still dead silent.
The area within a one-kilometer radius of the apartment is covered with yellow warning signs that say "no entry" and is set up with many checkpoints, and even rescue teams cannot enter.
As a result of the convergence of four large tornadoes, all the buildings in the locked-off area were razed to the ground, except for the gray and dilapidated Kuramae apartment.
From the air, you can see the cratered ground around the apartment, covered with huge spiral scratches left by the tornado.
"Beep...... Beep beep beep ......"
In the blockade area, several agents in suits wandering in the ruins, with detection instruments similar to mobile phones in their hands, suddenly began to make crazy noises.
A black spatial crack about ten centimeters long and almost invisible, silently cracked in the air, exuding a faint resentment.
"This is the third group, and a new 'gap' has been observed three hundred meters east of the apartment......"
Several pale arms, accompanied by wisps of resentment, slowly began to squeeze out from the slender dark cracks......
“…… It is suspected that spirits are pouring out, and they are asking for help. ”
"Roger, the nearest Soul Destroyer is coming, distance yourself first."
Just as one of the agents was reporting, a sea anemone-like aggregate resentful spirit was squeezed out of the tiny black crack like childbirth.
"Shhh...... Hand...... My hand, why can't I stop......"
The calloused arms, of varying lengths, thicknesses, and thicknesses, were held together and rubbed up and down with the frequency of afterimage, with great skill and silkiness.
The converging wraith propped up the ground with several arms, and the dense and small compound eyes on the top of its head looked around, cracking open the huge mouth covered with slender arms on the inside, and ran excitedly towards the agents at high speed.
In the face of this fast-moving converging spirit, the detectives didn't even have the intention of shooting tentatively, and ran in the opposite direction without looking back.
All the agents who still have the idea of using spiritual bullets to fight against the gathering of resentful spirits have already "retired" in the black fog of last night.
Thanks to the relationship between most of the ghosts and grievances being swept away by the tornado and the "one-stop service" being sent to a certain black giant fist to become a Buddha, after the gate of hell disappeared, there were not many remaining ghosts and grievances in Taitung District, and most of them dissipated and hibernated after sunrise.
However, since the strange black figure appeared and disappeared along with the gates of hell, this small black crack has appeared from time to time within a kilometer of the Kuramae apartment.
This spatial rift, known as the "Gap", has a faint resentment gushing out, and occasionally resentful spirits or ghosts emerge from it.
These spatial cracks are small and unstable, and "repair themselves" approximately ten minutes after they appear.
Although no accurate information was given, most agents privately speculated that the other end of the rift might be connected to the world behind the giant gate that did not belong to the living.
Perhaps, all this is due to the fact that the black giant figure "closed the door" too violently, causing the gate of hell to be damaged, and the passage between the earth and hell is no longer strong.
Fortunately, so far, whether it is the amount of resentment that is overflowing and the ghosts that are pouring out of it, they are still within the scope of dealing with it.
"Come on...... Hiss...... Let me bestow upon you the supreme ...... with this tightest right hand."
Just as the converging wraith, made of dense arms, leaped high with an eerie howl, about to catch up with one of the agents......
"Zheng."
A scorching flash of sword light slashed the wraiths in the air in half.
"Tachibana Drifting Snow-sama......"
I don't know when the detectives appeared in front of them, it was Abe Temple, who was covered in embarrassment and hung with a plaster cast on one arm.
"No, help me up...... I can still play ......."
Slashed by his burning blade, the gathering resentful spirit split in two, and silently collapsed towards the ground on both sides, weakly scattered into hundreds of arms, unwilling to wriggle on the ground and turn into resentment......
