Tokyo, Japan.

Late at night.

Sitting in the cockpit of a helicopter, Yokoda looked out through the window pane and was fascinated by the glittering night view of Tokyo.

yes – this is the Tokyo he loves.

The huge metropolitan area covers a large area of land, with 23 wards, 28 cities, 5 towns, 8 villages, as well as a number of small islands and the huge Tokyo Bay.

Whether it's day or night, it's always lit up and there's a lot of traffic.

The total population that has exceeded 40 million in recent years is so difficult to calculate.

Yokoda thought that if he felt lonely whenever he felt, there must be someone among the 40 million people who felt the same way as him, right?

Just don't know yourself, she/he? I don't know.

If you think about it this way, this huge city will not be terrifying.

Yokota thought so.

Boom——!!!

The sudden loud roar and the smoke and dust in the distance made Yokoda shake involuntarily, and he immediately looked out the window with his colleagues to confirm where the sound came from.

From a condescending perspective, he quickly discovered the source of the sound - about two blocks away, in the middle of the high-rise Shinjuku district, a building suddenly began to tilt and collapse for some unknown reason!

"This is?!" Yokota's eyes widened.

……

Piercing sirens sounded in the command room of the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters in Chuo Ward, Tokyo.

Before the high-ranking officials who controlled Tokyo's 180,000 police forces were in place, the headquarters, which had discovered through the cameras that the situation was not good, had issued a first-level alert to the entire city.

The sound of penetrating air raid sirens echoed in the night sky of Tokyo like the call of a night owl.

This huge sound suppressed all the bustle in the city.

Even if you are sitting in a moving vehicle, you can clearly hear the air raid sirens echoing in the air, which is naturally unsettling.

What's going on?

At this moment, if you monitor the traffic of communication in the Tokyo metropolitan area, you will find that the number of calls and messages has skyrocketed several times, and a large number of people are asking each other or seeking comfort in others.

But soon, the images taken by some people near the scene with portable devices or electronic prosthetic eyes began to explode on the Internet!

"Giants?"

"Aren't these tentacles the kind of unknown monsters that have been appearing in cities around the world lately?"

"Appeared in Tokyo?!"

"Yes! Looking at the photos, it seems to be Shinjuku! Dry! Lao Tzu's insurance! One netizen seemed to remember that he had taken out a high-priced insurance policy at the insurance company in Shinjuku.

No one mobilized the police to suppress it.

Because even the stupidest officials in the Metropolitan Police Department know that it is simply impossible for ordinary police officers to deal with this giant, which is twice as tall as a skyscraper more than a hundred meters.

Luo Shen manipulated his doppelganger to destroy several buildings in the nearby neighborhood, and hundreds of thousands of tons of concrete and entire building debris fell on the nearby streets and buildings, forming a road blockade.

Subsequently.

A dense strip covered with human bodies - no! It should be said that the tentacles of heavily armed soldiers protrude from Roshen's dark stomach.

Under the control of Roshen, the terrifying tentacles, which devoured all life or souls, did not absorb the clansmen, but instead attached them to the terrifying surface of the tentacles, which were covered with human head-shaped "sarcomas".

The pouch space became a temporary troop transport warehouse.

The tentacles hung horizontally on the ground, the suction was released, and about eight thousand soldiers loosened and fell to the ground.

Although the nightmarish transportation experience actually lasted just over ten minutes, most of it was the time they lined up to glue themselves to the surface of the tentacles.

But the brief stay in that dark space had already caused some of the soldiers to feel great terror.

Although they were accustomed to seeing their companions whose images had become distorted and terrifying after activating the 'genetic aberration', at this moment, no one dared to imagine the real scene in the dark space where they had only stayed for two or three minutes just now.

However.

Tightly formulated combat orders do not make them think too much. Amid the sharp brass whistles of the officers, the soldiers quickly approached the commander.

"Take the city!"

"Kill or kill!"

The fanatical shouts of the non-commissioned officers at the rank and file rang out.

Forthwith.

The soldiers picked up their weapons, spread their legs, and strode across the city.

Gunshots began to come from all directions.

The Ming Empire's army quickly spread to its predetermined positions in the city, destroying surveillance, electrical circuits, and government agencies along the way, and dividing forces to control some traffic nodes, and everything seemed to be in order.

However, in those Ghost in the Shell world, this moment seemed extremely chaotic in the eyes of ordinary people in Tokyo City.

The people of the era of peace did not adapt to the arrival of war.

They didn't even know what was going on.

Soldiers in World War II-style combat uniforms sped through the streets, and a beautiful woman in a fashionable skirt and slender heel leaned into her boyfriend's arms in surprise to watch all this, and most of the people around her had the same reaction, only to watch in a daze as these soldiers who had never seen them passed by.

Suddenly.

Several figures drew their 95-centimeter-long slashing bayonets as they ran.

Poof!

The sound of a heavy blade piercing into the human body resounded in the bustling and peaceful streets.

The killing began.

A tall army soldier slashed his bayonet at the two men.

Between life and death, this man, who usually coaxes women to be very happy, instinctively pushed the woman to the edge at this moment, and he turned around and tried to escape.

The woman looked back at the man in disbelief.

And then.

The beautiful head flew up.

The man's heart tightened: he didn't want to die! He doesn't want to die!

Looking at the more and more soldiers behind him, he ran wildly towards the small alley next to him. He knew very well that although he often went to the gym to exercise, if he really ran, even if he ran one or two of these soldiers, how could he outrun all of them?

Only by getting out of their sight can you survive!

The man rushed into the alley with great agility, and to his annoyance at this moment, several passers-by had made the same choice.

'Damn it! Haven't you guys seen war movies? If a person hides in a well, he will not be discovered, but if a group of people jump down, it will directly invite destruction! He cursed in his heart, but he ran faster on his feet.

He had to distance himself from these people so that he could be safer!

A thumping shot rang out behind him.

The reverberations in the alleys between the walls of the building made the already huge gunshots as shocking as powerful firecrackers.

Whoosh.

What flew out of his chest?

The man was stunned, and his quickly weakened body staggered forward and fell forward.

At the moment of the fall, the man saw a hole the size of a bowl that had exploded in his chest.

"I'm such a bastard! How can people outrun ......"

Several of those who had fled into the fork in the road fell under the precise guns of the two soldiers.
