“This… what kind of monster is this?!”
Terry’s body suddenly stiffened, stumbling backward.
At this time, the ugly monster made of mud had swallowed the human in its mouth, revealing a satisfied and terrifying smile.
ヽ(≧□≦)ノ
Terry became even more afraid, drawing the Luger pistol he wore more for decoration than actual use, and firing at the monster.
Bang bang—
The bullets flew out of the chamber, all sinking into the monster's mud-composed body.
Terry cursed under his breath, threw away the empty pistol, and turned to run.
“Ah!”
Only by going deeper into the sprawling fog of the base could one discover that it was not completely silent.
Giant ghosts floating in the air.
Lanterns with eerie green fire glowing.
Giants with hands covered in eyes…
His military base had become a veritable hell from legend.
“Soldiers!!”
Terry's voice trembled with fear as he ran towards the direction of the gunshots.
Fortunately, it was just dusk, and there was still time before nightfall, so there were still many surviving American soldiers in the base.
Leveraging his identity as the commander, he managed to gather a group of people and ran out of the damn military base.
“Quick! We will leave on the aircraft carrier immediately.”
The general was completely terrified.
The monsters in the base had made him realize for the first time that these supernatural beings were above humans, not under their control.
“General, we are just going to leave like this, what about the Washington side…?”
Several subordinates hesitated to speak.
Obviously, after surviving, they started to consider their future prospects.
And leaving like this would undoubtedly be a display of incompetence.
“The Washington side…”
Terry's face was filled with hesitation and struggle. On the one hand, he wanted to escape these monsters immediately, on the other hand, he thought that he had been embezzling and taking bribes here, and if he messed up things again, he might be brought to a military tribunal.
“Good!”
Gritting his teeth, Terry decided to do it.
He waved his hand and said, “We will board the ship immediately, have the soldiers on the aircraft carrier prepare for a saturation bombing of the military base.”
“Ah?”
Several subordinates were stunned and incredulous, “General, that's our base.”
“Then are you going to take people inside to destroy those monsters?”
Terry's words immediately shut them up.
The few subordinates immediately fell silent.
Let them take people in, what a joke, those monsters weren't even physical entities, they weren't afraid of bullets at all.
They would be going in to die.
“That's it then!!”
Although he was a bit cowardly, Terry still had the necessary decisiveness.
Anyway, he had made up his mind, after this incident, he would put pressure on the Japanese government to compensate for the loss of the base.
“Boarding.”
The group boarded the aircraft carrier belonging to the U.S. Navy's Seventh Fleet, which was docked on the shore.
On the spacious flight deck, several carrier-based aircraft were ready.
After Terry boarded the main ship and issued orders from the tower in his capacity as commander, several fighter jets immediately took off.
“Warning! We will be bombing in five minutes, please evacuate immediately if you have not yet done so…”
The urgent air raid siren rang through the sky above Yokosuka Base.
Residents of the nearby towns looked up in disbelief.
“Are these American troops crazy?”
“What are they trying to do?!”
The townspeople couldn't figure out why these bigwigs were doing this.
On the other hand, at the Metropolitan Police Department, Police Superintendent Shiragami, the Minister of Justice, and the Chief Cabinet Secretary were all staring at each other after receiving the news.
“They… they are going to bomb their own base?”
Chief Cabinet Secretary Kumagai Hiroshi didn't know what kind of expression to put on his face.
He looked at his two colleagues with a strange expression and then turned to Ochiai:
“Mr. Ochiai, do you think this kind of attack will be effective against those demons?”
Ochiai was also uncertain, pondering, “It should be effective, but…”
In the end, the old man hesitated, “Do I need to go help?”
“No, no.”
Kumagai Hiroshi immediately shook his head.
What a joke, Ochiai and Ran Mori were the only superhumans who were friendly with the authorities.
Kumagai Hiroshi couldn't afford to let them go on a risky mission.
“Let it be.”
He steadied himself and said, “It's their fault for using such a disgraceful method to steal the fingers of Ryomen Sukuna, we have no knowledge of this matter.”
…
“What is this?”
At the same time, in a dark and damp cave, Conan looked up at the giant statue with two faces, four hands and four feet, his expression filled with confusion.
Out of admiration for Sherlock Holmes, he was also familiar with the horror legends and religious history of his country.
However, he had never seen a statue like this before.
“No.”
Searching his memory, Conan suddenly remembered that when he investigated Yukimura Ichiro, he saw in his family records that his family had been monks who worshipped Ryomen Sukuna in the Fushimi area hundreds of years ago.
“Ryomen Sukuna?”
Looking at the statue's two faces, Conan nodded and looked around for clues.
There was nothing but the statue in this place.
Only under the statue was a secret compartment that seemed to have held something before, but it had been taken away.
“Huh?”
At that moment, Conan knelt down, reached into the secret compartment, and touched a talisman with a strange texture.
“Seal Evil.”
The talisman was written in Chinese, but luckily Conan had learned it in Hawaii.
“What's this for?”
Conan looked at the talisman and fell into contemplation.
Boom!
Just then, a hole was blown open in the pile of rubble on the right side of the statue, which was the original exit.
“Ugh, ugh—"
Conan was covered in dirt.
But when he saw the person who came in, he was surprised, “Officer Mouri.”
