It didn't take long for the sea to appear before the four seasons.

Tokyo Bay has long been an important transportation artery, and it is surrounded by many ports, including the Port of Tokyo, the Port of Yokohama, and the Port of Yokosuka.

Tokyo Bay also often appears in film and television works, for example, there are always lines such as sunken bodies in Tokyo Bay in gangster films.

Shiki isn't visiting Tokyo Bay for the first time, but it's not this world, and the same location is in the third mission world.

At that time, he was only moving close to the coast, and did not go deep into the sea, but this time not only did he have to go deeper, but he also had to leave Tokyo Bay and go farther into the Pacific Ocean. Tokyo Bay alone has an area of more than 1,000 square kilometers, which is also a large area for the four seasons.

After a short period of depth, there is only a blue sky around you, and you can't see the land at all. The vast expanse of the sea stretches as far as the eye can see, merging with the sky at the end.

"Where is the Killing Stone?"

Miyuki looked around at the sea, and there was nothing around but seawater.

"According to intelligence, the Coast Guard has spotted an unidentified vessel outside the bay, and the location is in the vicinity."

It's just that the ocean is so big that you can't find it in the middle of the ocean in all seasons.

"After confirming that it was a paranormal phenomenon, it was taken over by the countermeasures room, which found an extremely strong aura pressure anomaly around the ghost ship, and the investigators have been out of contact for half an hour since they set off to investigate."

"It looks like it's going to be a tough one."

"Well, at this point, the countermeasures room has already dispatched most of the personnel who can move to find it."

The communication in the countermeasure room was still being monitored by Shiki in real time, so he knew very well. If the other party can find it, there is no need for them to wander aimlessly at sea. However, the sea is vast, and ghost ships are much more difficult to find than ordinary ships, and this is not the range that can be explored by the observation team.

Shiki flew high into the air to make his rounds, and after another quarter of an hour, he finally discovered the anomaly.

Flying towards the anomaly, the surrounding clear sky became cloudy, and wisps of fog appeared on the sea.

"Foggy?"

Shizuru noticed that the fog around him had become extremely dense before he knew it, and the visibility was getting lower and lower.

"Blindfolding."

Hatsu Sakura, who switched to intellectual mode, said at this time that these fogs were not naturally formed, but fog caused by supernatural phenomena.

"Is it almost there?"

Miyuki concentrated, vaguely sensing the source of the fog.

"Hmm."

The fog of visual and perceptual effects would be lost even if the people in the strategy room approached it, so it would be difficult to find it, but it would not affect the four seasons, and he led everyone straight towards the center.

Soon a huge shadow appeared in the thick mist, it was a ship, not an ordinary fishing boat, a cruise ship, but a warship.

It has a long and narrow body, a total length of hundreds of meters, a variety of weapons on the deck, and the hull is full of rust marks, and it looks very old.

"Is this a battleship?"

"Doesn't it seem like a modern warship?"

Shizuru and Miyuki both had expressions of unknown expressions.

"It's a destroyer, it's very old, it's supposed to be from World War II."

When it comes to learning about the history of this world, the four seasons know a little, but that's all.

Approaching the battleship, through the thick fog, it was vaguely visible that there was no one on the deck.

"There are no evil spirits, and there are no people in the countermeasure room? What's going on? ”

As soon as Miyuki finished speaking, she saw that the turret on the battleship suddenly turned direction, and the machine gun fired one step ahead, and the old antique from I don't know how many years ago burst out with strong vitality, and countless bullets were fired at them.

"Does this still work?"

"It's a spiritual projectile fired, and the power is not much different from that of an ordinary cannonball."

After opening the screen wall, the four seasons spent a lot of time analyzing the enemy's attack.

"Could it be that everyone in the strategy room has been killed?"

“……”

Shiki didn't answer, his perception enveloped the ship, and the breath of the killing stone could be felt in it, but there was no trace of anyone on this ship, and even if it was really killed, it was impossible to leave no trace at all. Unless they didn't come, it couldn't be like this, so the situation is a bit unusual now.

"Not necessarily."

"Would you like to look for it?"

Miyuki asked him.

"Okay."

Before, the four seasons were not in a hurry to find the Killing Stone, because there might be other people appearing, but now this situation is meaningless.

Landing on the deck, the guns could no longer attack them, but at this moment a large number of evil spirits rushed out of the cabin. They were all dressed in military uniforms and looked like the crew of the ship.

Seeing the intruders, they all rushed forward frantically, surrounding Shiki and the others.

However, the four seasons have cleaned them all out in a hurry.

Although there are many of them, they are all low-level evil spirits. Just like the attack just now, a caster with a little strength can solve it, and normally it shouldn't trap the people in the strategy room.

"It doesn't look strong."

Just as Shizuru said this, a large number of evil spirits appeared, and the evil spirits that had been destroyed just now also returned to their original state.

“…… I retract this sentence. ”

"Infinite regeneration?"

Miyuki thought for a moment and said, if this is the case, it is indeed not something that ordinary exorcists can deal with. In the meantime, in order to verify this guess, the four seasons tried several more times, and sure enough, these evil spirits were endless.

"What's going on? Do you have to find the Killing Stones to solve them? ”

"Doing so does solve them."

Shiki nodded.

"You understand what, right?"

"Hmm. These evil spirits embody the resentment of the dead on the battleship, but they should not be judged as separate individuals. ”

"Can't be considered an individual?"

"They are a whole in themselves, an illusion of a unified being."

"They're all dolls."

At this time, Hatsuzakura answered on the side.

"That's right, they're just tools made by the owner of the Killing Stone, so they can't be destroyed."

"So the wielder has been hiding in the boat and controlling the attack?"

Miyuki then asked Shiki.

"Nope. Not so. The enemy did not hide from the very beginning. ”

"What do you mean?"

Seeing the evil spirits gathering more and more, Jing Liu felt a little numb in his scalp.

"The one who owns the Killing Stone is the battleship itself, and the Killing Stone is attached to the battleship that sank in the ocean. The evil spirit is this battleship. ”

After saying that, the four seasons flew again with everyone.

"And I think it's more than that."

The mist dispersed under the force of the four seasons, and then several large black shadows appeared in the surrounding sea.
