OPI Chapter 157: Intrigue and Espionage
🕑 Added 2024-05-09 03:18:48 +0000 UTCAfter the black threads that sprouted from Gus's palms wrapped around Doma, they hardened, completely sealing Doma, preventing him from making any movement.
"Let's go back!" Gus carried Doma and then shouted to Horobi who was not far away holding the Den-Den Mushi and transmitting the battle scene to the command center.
"Understood!" Without further words, Horobi and Gus quickly headed towards the location of the Dimensional Gate...
Three minutes later.
Muzan appeared in the ruins of the battlefield, looking in the direction where Gus and Horobi left with an unpleasant expression. "Doma, this waste, can't even hold on for a few minutes!"
"If this bastard doesn't die later, I will kill him with my own hands. What's the point of keeping a useless thing?"
However, although Muzan scolded him, his fear of Steve Gus did not diminish at all. He knew Doma's strength very well. And the fact that he was defeated in five minutes means that Gus's strength could be similar to Kokushibo's.
This is getting complicated.
If Kokushibo's strength was not controlled by his own blood, even Muzan would have to work hard in a real fight.
Moreover.
Muzan's extremely cautious character made him seriously doubt that the 'demon' who defeated Doma had not yet used all his strength.
If so, the opponent's true strength might be comparable to his own.
"What on earth are they? Are they really demons? It's impossible. All demons come from my blood, but I can't sense them..."
Muzan stood in the ruins covered with ice and corpses, looking at the moon in the night sky hesitantly, while remembering the appearance of Gus and Horobi.
"That's right!"
"They don't look like Japanese. Could they be something from overseas? If they are not demons, but something else, will it be useful for me to eat them?"
With this doubt in his mind, Muzan returned to Infinity Castle, then ordered Nakime: "Call all the Twelve Demon Moons!"
In any case, he decided to capture Gus and Horobi first. He would know whether they are useful after eating them. By the way, he would use these subordinates to test them.
He was willing to risk his direct followers, if it meant solving his weakness to the sun.
Nothing is more important than making him a perfect creature!
...
Under Mount Fuji, many active people and various buildings have appeared in the depths of the forest.
This is the camp built with the Dimensional Gate as the center.
In order not to attract the attention of the Japanese government and because the World Government was not sure of the strength of the powerful individuals in this world, a large-scale base was not built here. Only a 50 meter radius was cleared with a circle of outer walls.
Regarding security.
In the dark, there were surveillance Den-Den Mushi, and in the light, there were army soldiers holding automatic rifles to guard. From time to time, a few figures flashed by at high speed.
But this is all that can be done without building a city at the base. The most important facilities are the simple biochemical safety station and the two-story building with thick shrubs on the roof not far away.
In the central building there are many Den-Den Mushi and technicians. They are responsible for transmitting, receiving, and retransmitting signals from Den-Den Mushi, reporting various forms of intelligence sent by explorers to the command center on Starfish World, or transmitting command from the command center to each exploration team.
The image of the battle between Gus and Doma captured by Horobi had already been transmitted to one of the projection screens in the command room of the Other Worlds Strategic Committee.
"Report, this is the assessment of Doma conducted by the Otherworldly Combat Power Assessment Agency!"
A young employee entered the committee meeting room and placed a three-page document in front of President Fernández.
"Okay, you can go."
"Yes sir."
Fernández flipped through the contents of the document and then raised his head to ask the four vice presidents: "Do you want to take a look?"
"I don't need it, the previous live broadcast was very clear." Said Coulson, who had been transferred from the Department of Administration and now held the position of Vice President.
As a member of Cipher Pol at the Vice Admiral level Coulson could clearly see Doma's power level.
In short, he was just a human with an extremely tough body and exceptional regeneration ability, with abilities like strength and speed that placed him with a bounty of 30 to 40 million Belly.
But Coulson does not need to see the evaluation report, which does not mean that the other three vice presidents do not need it either.
While the others quickly read the report, Fernández took out a document and handed it to Coulson.
"Take a look at this."
Coulson, not understanding, took the document. Upon opening it, he was surprised to read what was written.
The title of the document was Kibutsuji Muzan, and it detailed his history, objective, personality, constitution type, abilities, Demon Blood Arts, weakness, etc. In addition, emphasis was placed on capturing him alive.
As he finished reading, Coulson felt confused. He didn't know where to start, since there were many questions he wanted to ask.
Where exactly does this information come from?
This document completely exposes Muzan, and the Twelve Demon Moons, revealing all their details and secrets, leaving them without any mystery before the World Government.
Yes, this was just a 'little hint' provided by Imu, but it was necessary. Without this information, the chances of catching Muzan would be minimal. Since he could hide again for years like when he was defeated by Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
"This..." Coulson began.
"Don't ask any more, because I don't know either. You just need to know that it was sent by the superiors." Fernandez stopped Coulson from asking further questions.
Coulson could only nod his head, but he couldn't help but think further. Could it be a Devil Fruit ability related to prophecy? Although he had never heard of a fruit with such power, it did not seem strange to him considering the long history and resources of the World Government.
Next, after the other three vice presidents finished reading the evaluation report on Doma and the information about Muzan, the meeting was finally able to continue.
"So, Captain Steve Gus is bringing one of these Twelve Demon Moons, right? It seems like they're not that strong." One of the vice presidents said with relief.
"Yes, mainly because we don't have the Nichirin Sword, which makes it difficult to kill these demons." Another vice president intervened.
"I think what we should focus on is that according to the information about Muzan, he can sense the location of the demons, so if Captain Gus brings Doma here, it will directly expose our camp." The last vice president pointed out.
"That's right!" Coulson agreed. "And according to the report of Captain Gus and others, Doma regarded them, the Kabaneri, as demons that can move under the sun, so Muzan must have obtained this information, so what will he do next?"
"He would be willing to do anything except sacrifice his own life to catch Gus and Horobi." Fernandez answered his question. He continued to speculate based on the known information and logic. "Considering Muzan's personality, it is very likely that he will summon the Twelve Demon Moons and perhaps even other demons..."
Coulson nodded and said: "The problem now is how to deal with this, and how to effectively use this information we have."
"What do you think?" Fernandez asked.
"My idea is that the Twelve Demon Moons are not the most important thing. Muzan is the real target. If we manage to eliminate the first ones forcefully, Muzan will surely get scared and hide, which is a problem."
"Then we need to locate his position, that is, the position of Infinite Castle. The only solution I can think of right now is..."
The night in the metropolitan area centered on Tokyo could be completely described with words like 'full of lights, crowds and great activity'.
However, where there is light, there is also darkness.
In the dark alleys, out of reach of the lights, a tense and terrifying atmosphere could be felt.
The sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the narrow, gloomy space.
One chases, another flees. "Police, stop!"
"Put your hands up!" At the crossroads in front of the fugitive, another man suddenly appeared, shouting loudly while pointing a revolver.
Meanwhile, the pursuer, panting heavily, pointed his gun at the fugitive's back, demanding firmly.
"We are the detectives of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. We now suspect that you are involved in several murders. Please go back with us to assist in the investigation!"
[Swoosh]
The next moment, the fugitive instantly disappeared from the scene, then, without giving the detective time to react, a horrible hole appeared in the center of his forehead.
[Bang!]
With a metallic sound, the detective who fired from behind was stunned to see the fugitive holding the bullet between his fingers.
[Swoosh!]
The fugitive snapped his fingers, and the bullet passed through the center of the detective's forehead before he could blink, and he collapsed in the dark alley.
At this moment, the figure had already disappeared without a trace...
The recent series of murders occurring in different parts of Tokyo had made the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department furious, as they could not even find a single clue of the culprit or even a witness.
At the same time in the First Army Division, the Navy Port in Yokosuka, the Army University, the Navy University and even the Japanese Imperial Palace, people found fresh or decomposing corpses.
This attracted the attention and vigilance of various departments in the Japanese military and political circles, thinking that they were spies from overseas.
It must be said that the Cipher Pol members actually brought their authoritarian style when carrying out missions. They killed people who were in their path or who saw them, and then left the bodies in secluded corners.
