In a fully enclosed conference room.

On either side of the long table, men in suits and leather shoes sat at the table.

There were no more than ten people seated, and each of them seemed to be over thirty years old, and there were not a few who were fifty or sixty years old, and the incandescent lamps were shining arrogantly, illuminating their faces, and they were serious faces with tightly pursed lips.

If some people who are familiar with Japanese political news break into this conference room, I am afraid that they will be shocked and speechless. This is because all the people present at the table are well-known figures in Japanese politics.

- Tokyo Metropolitan Police Inspector, Sosuke Goin.

- Vice Minister of Defense, Shinichiro Tanaka.

- Chief of Staff of the Unification Staff, Saaki Kono.

- Secretary of the General Affairs and Security Department of the Cabinet, Fang Shican.

- Deputy Director of the Special Security Service, Muneyo Fujiwara.

- Governor of Tokyo, Kei Genichi.

……

But no matter what the identity of the people present, at this time, they all stared at the end of the long table, on the image played by the projector:

In the very center of the picture, a bright red meteor falls to the ground, and the girl stands like a visitor from another world lost in the modern city.

The owner of the picture, a young man with a mobile phone in his hand, let out a hearty laugh and sneaked closer, but seemed to have tripped over something halfway through the walk.

And so, with the shaking of the camera and the screams of the live broadcaster, the scene shows the blood flowing as if it had life, firmly enclosing the filmant's legs.

The next moment, because the mobile phone used for shooting slipped out of his hand, after a series of rapidly flipped shots, the picture rotated urgently, and finally froze on the perspective that only a red blood wave could be seen, and the voice-over, one by one, screams came:

"Help, help!"

"Monster...... That girly monster! ”

"Help me!"

Until the screams finally stopped, the bright red blood waves seemed to be drawn, and only the narrow sidewalk horizontal line and flat ground could be seen from the mobile phone lens, as if nothing had happened.

When the video was played, it looked like a high-cost movie or CG composite image, but none of the people on either side of the long table questioned it, but all frowned and showed a difficult expression.

The middle-aged man standing in front of the projector used the control pen to adjust the chronological order of the image, adjusting the picture to the beginning, and the fragment of the red meteor falling from the sky faced everyone.

And the nameplate on his chest also shows his identity:

He was the moderator of the meeting.

-- Director of the Special Intelligence Department of the Ministry of Defense: Nobu Yanagihara.

"The above is the online video of the 'Motogashimachi Incident' on October 6, because there happened to be an anchor at the scene at the time of the incident, so the scene of the event was broadcast live through the Internet.

"After the incident, although we issued an urgent notice to the company's local operators, asking them to immediately cut off the live broadcast footage and extract the internal stored footage as relevant evidence. However, the live broadcast has been circulated and has become a hot topic on the Internet, and the number of views of related videos on the whole network has exceeded 200 million, and the total number of topics has exceeded 50,000. And the heroine of the picture, the core character of this "Moshitacho Incident", also has a code name on the Internet: 'Moshitacho Blood Angel'.

"Although many people believe in the authenticity of the content of the images, through the public opinion actions and propaganda offensive of the intelligence department, relying on emergency measures such as interviews and investigations, and financial compensation to the families of the victims at the scene, the mainstream opinion of netizens has now become that the 'Shigomachi Incident' is a planned movie propaganda scene, and those scenes are all CG synthetics, and the reason why the government officially blocked the 'Shitamachi' is because there was a safety accident during the filming of the film." The 'Blood Angel' does not exist. ”

Speaking of this, Yanagihara Shin took a light breath, faced the high-ranking people on both sides of the long table, looked around, and said in a cold voice:

"Nevertheless, I believe it is clear to everyone present that-

"The 'Mushitachi Incident' is true, and the 'Mushitamachi Blood Angel' really exists."

That's right.

The high-ranking officials and ministers present all held their breath.

That is the theme of today's meeting.

"The Mushitamachi Incident".

Sosuke of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Inspectorate narrowed his eyes slightly.

Even though it had been a few days since the "Mushitachi Incident", he still remembered that when he heard his subordinates stammering and reporting the full picture of the incident, he still had some hard time remembering his disbelief and anger at that time.

"Bastard - you actually handed me in such a report, do you think I am stupid!

"Thousands of people have disappeared on the streets of Shitacho, no survivors have appeared, and there has been no response or whereabouts, and it would be much more credible for you to tell me that the United States secretly took these people for human experimentation - but look at what you mentioned, these thousands of people disappeared by one person! A young girl fell from the sky and devoured everyone?! Idiot, don't write light novels into police reports! ”

At that time, he wanted to continue to scold his subordinates, but before he could open his mouth to scold, he received a top-secret phone call.

- It was a call from the Prime Minister.

Waving his subordinates back, Sosuke Goin answered the top-secret phone call alone in the office, and the expression on his face gradually changed from anger to sluggishness, puzzlement, and shock.

…… That's all true!

…… It's a girl who fell from the sky and "swallowed" everyone in the town!

…… The Prime Minister is ready to convene a special national security meeting in response to this special event!

All kinds of memories came to mind, and I couldn't help but shake my head in my heart, but there was a little puzzle in the heart of Sosuke Goin.

Looking around for a week, high-ranking officials related to the incident have already been present - the Metropolitan Police Department, the Ministry of Defense, the Special Security Department, the Cabinet, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government......

However, strangely enough, the top leaders were not here, whether it was the prime minister, the police chief, or the minister of defense, they all did not show up, and only sent the Cabinet Secretary for Security and General Affairs Fang Shichan as his representative...... Why is that?

Doubts like this only flickered in his heart for a moment before disappearing, and in his heart, Sosuke Goin was more shocked by the "blood angel of the current town".

Sousuke Goin touched his nose to prevent his expression from being too surprised.

However, after quietly glancing at the people around him from the corner of his eye, in the eyes of Sousuke Goin, the expressions of the others who tried their best to hide their inner wavering but still unconsciously tightened their facial muscles were not much better than him.

Sousuke Goin didn't have the idea of mocking them in his heart.

Because he could fully understand the shock.

After all, that's—

"Extraordinary......"

Who would have thought that such an existence would come to a city in the 21st century, where manpower is becoming weaker and weaker than thermal weapons and modern technology?

Transcendent......

It represents great power, it represents enviable health, and it represents the ability to transcend reality...... It even represents the possibility of breaking the limits of life.

It's good if you don't know, now that you know...... And how can it not be shocking? How can it not be desirable?

Glancing imperceptibly to the right front, Sousuke Goin saw that the governor of Tokyo, Genichei, had undisguised his expression, his lips slightly open, staring intently at the red meteor on the projector screen, his eyes full of longing and greed.

Totally understandable.

The current governor, Gen Yikei, is now over 70 years old, and it is said that he has an old illness, and I am afraid that he can hear the footsteps of death from time to time. The older a person gets, the more afraid he is of death, and for such a person, a genuine transcendent is far more desirable than 10,000 tons of gold in front of him.

Thinking about it this way, Sosuke Goin somewhat understood why the Prime Minister, the Minister of Defense, and the Inspector General of Surveillance did not attend the meeting.

- These people at the top are all very old, and they must be afraid that when they arrive, they will show a look of greed and longing that is as obvious as Gen Yijing.

With these thoughts in his mind, which he couldn't tell whether it was ridicule or something else, Sousuke Goin sat up straight, emptied his distractions, and continued to listen to the voice of the meeting host, Yanagihara Shin.
