Chapter Twenty-Three: The War Between Humans and Monsters Begins

Night.

The starry sky in Tokyo at night is still beautiful.

However, the people living on the ground are in dire straits.

In all of Tokyo's 23 wards, there are a large number of yokai.

They wreak havoc on the ground and run rampant, like a dragon crossing a river, invincible.

At this time, the official could no longer sit still, and the fact that the monster existed could no longer be concealed.

The dusty history has been uncovered again.

That night, the prime minister promised that within half a year, all the monsters would be eliminated.

At this point, the war between humans and youkai began.

The Ground Self-Defense Force gathered together, assigned tasks, and stationed in 23 wards in Tokyo.

Tanks and armored vehicles roamed the streets of the city, and all kinds of powerful military weapons were also on the table.

At the same time, major shrines and temples received a notice from their superiors that they were allowed to use supernatural powers.

After hearing the news, the priests in the shrine and the monks in the temple were extremely excited.

They can't wait.

For a while, the onmyoji wearing hunting clothes and the monks wearing monk robes walked out one after another and appeared in all corners of the city.

They came out for only one purpose.

Demon slayer.

However, the youkai are not vegetarians either.

They are not like wild beasts, they have no brute strength.

They have the same intelligence as humans, and they are very cunning.

That night, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle, and the battle was in full swing, and the sound shook the sky.

It wasn't until early in the morning that the sun rose again, and the monsters slowly faded away and stopped appearing in human society for the time being.

The day descended on the earth.

Tokyo, the world's largest metropolis, is devastated, as if it had just been ravaged by war, and the smell of gunpowder smoke fills the air.

On the streets, bloody corpses can be seen everywhere.

There are people from the Land Self-Defense Force, onmyoji, temple mages, and youkai, but more of them are ordinary people.

After a night of fighting, both sides suffered losses, and neither side took advantage.

It's kind of a five-five open!

In this regard, the relevant departments held a meeting to discuss the next demon elimination strategy.

The meeting began at 8 a.m. and ended at 2 p.m.

After discussion, the official ordered the Self-Defense Forces to temporarily withdraw from the demon eradication operation.

The major shrines and temples led the operation.

It is not unreasonable for officials to do this.

Because, modern weapons are too powerful.

Weapons such as missiles, used in the city, are nothing more than 1,000 enemy casualties and 800 self-inflicted losses.

While eliminating demons, it is also necessary to ensure the safety of the people.

Modern weapons must have limitations, so they can only be removed.

However, that doesn't mean you don't use it.

The Land Self-Defense Force withdrew only temporarily, not from the city.

Their main task is to protect people's lives and urban development.

After all, Tokyo is not a small city with a population of more than 30 million.

How terrible it will be if the city stops functioning.

Eliminate demons, or leave it to professionals.

Cities can't stop functioning, or people's lives will be greatly affected.

First of all, power plants, water plants, and food factories must resume work as soon as possible.

Cities can't live without electricity, people can't live without water and food.

Only by satisfying these three can humans have a better chance of defeating this monster disaster.

Kumi's father, whose company is involved in power plants.

In the afternoon of the same day, he received a notice from his superiors asking him to restore the normal operation of the power plant within three days.

When Kumi learned about this situation, she felt particularly angry.

She herself understands the importance of electricity to cities.

However, now the monsters are in trouble and in danger.

Once ordinary humans encounter youkai, there is almost no hope of survival.

So, you must not let your father take risks.

However, Takahito Edogawa is a person with a sense of social responsibility.

As a doer, a well-known entrepreneur.

He understands how important his small power plant is to the whole of Tokyo.

In order to defeat the monster, what is your own life?

Resumption of work, definitely resumption of work.

Tomorrow to go to the power plant.

At that time, he slapped the table in front of Kumi, and his attitude was extremely resolute.

Kumi was also angry and cried.

She locked herself in her room and didn't come out until the next day.

Walking downstairs, there was a note on the coffee table in the hall.

The writer is Takahito Edogawa.

The content of the writing is also very simple, just a short sentence.

"Kumi, please forgive Dad, Dad has always loved you."

After Kumi read it, tears flowed down unconsciously.

"Dusang, you selfish ghost!"

She clutched her chest, knelt on the ground, and wept bitterly.

After crying for a while, she went upstairs to pick up her phone and dialed Ichiro Reed.

The phone is connected.

Jiumei was resigned, and said with a crying voice: "Ichiro-san, I need your help. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ichiro Reed appeared in Kumi's room out of thin air.

"Ou hey, Kumi-chan!" With a hearty smile, Ichiro Reed winked at Kumi.

Seeing Ichiro Reed, Kumi immediately pounced.

She cried bitterly in Ichiro's arms, and hammered his shoulder with a small fist, which was very pitiful to see.

Ichiro Reed will not comfort people, so he can only wait until the other party finishes venting.

Slightly, about two minutes later.

Kumi raised her head and stared at Ichiro Reed with an aggrieved expression: "Ichiro-san, please help me." ”

"The gods have heard the voice of your heart."

Ichiro Reedi smiled and gave Kumi a gentle, determined look.

"Ichiro-san, you must protect my father, I can't lose him." Kumi cried.

"Don't worry, there is a god, even the lord of Huangquan has to be afraid of three points." Ichiro Reed patted his chest, very confident.

"Uh-huh!" With Reed Ichiro's affirmation, Kumi's inner emotions were slightly eased.

After paying the commission fee, Ichiro Reed disappeared with a whoosh.

When he reappeared, it was in the middle of nowhere.

The power plant operated by Takahito Edogawa is mainly used for thermal power generation.

The smoke and dust produced by thermal power generation not only pollutes the air, but also harms the human body.

Therefore, thermal power plants are basically built away from cities and in sparsely populated remote places.

Electricity plays a vital role in urban development and people's lives.

Nowadays, monsters are rampant in the city of Tokyo, and people's lives and living environment have been greatly affected.

If the power plant does not generate electricity, the city of Tokyo will be plunged into absolute darkness when night falls.

Youkai live in the dark and are used to the absence of light.

In dark conditions, they can exert more power.

This is very unfavorable to the human side, and it will be a huge challenge.

Therefore, the power plant must be running.

Since the appearance of the yokai, the power plants in Tokyo City have been largely shut down.

The city's reserve electricity can only last for two days.

Other cities outside of Tokyo also have monster invasions, and they can't take care of it themselves, let alone support Tokyo.

It was the second day after the night walk of the hundred ghosts.

If the power plant is not operational today, by tomorrow, Tokyo will become a city without electricity.

So, power generation is crucial.

Last night, Takahito Edogawa voted to the relevant departments on his intention to resume the power plant.

This move has been strongly supported and praised by the relevant departments.

That night, officials sent three platoons of troops to garrison the power plant.

At the same time, he also found the shrine and invited ten high-level onmyoji to guard the power plant together.

In this way, the power plant becomes a very strong fortress.

Moreover, the power plant was built in the wilderness, and the vicinity was uninhabited, which was just right for the power of modern weapons.

At this time, Ichiro Reed was walking on the road, and two hundred meters away was the power plant of Takahito Edogawa.
