The loud gunshots and explosions had already alarmed nearby residents and workers. If the police had not explained the situation in advance, the Metropolitan Police Department's emergency phone would have probably been flooded with calls.
This place is located in an area similar to an industrial park. There are not many real residential areas, but there are some. There are even more commercial office buildings and office skyscrapers.
At this moment, nearby residents and people who were still working overtime late at night began to receive notifications from the police or property security, and those who did not receive a response would find a way to notify them at their doorstep.
"Hurry up and get on the bus, and those behind you will catch up. Hurry up, and leave as soon as it's full..."
The police and the Ground Self-Defense Force maintained order and arranged for the evacuation of residents. The bus that had just arrived was boarding passengers.
Overtime workers, those who stay up late, residents in pajamas, and even night service providers, when the panicked or confused people arrive at the evacuation point, this is the scene they see.
Everything is done according to the most urgent incident.
For special events, the Metropolitan Police Department has the power to control extraordinary crisis events, which means that no explanation will be provided and the local government will be forced to cooperate. However, a reasonable explanation must be given afterwards, otherwise it will face political accusations.
This is not only a dangerous accusation, but also a very offensive order. In fact, the crisis faced by Japan before was not exaggerated. This order was also used for the first time today.
Fortunately, this is an office area, and the number of people who need to be mobilized late at night is not large, and people a few kilometers away are at least out of the reach of weapons of mass destruction.
Yes, since conventional weapons cannot defeat it, the relevant Japanese departments have made plans to withstand high damage.
Several armed helicopters have already taken off and arrived, and two fighter jets equipped with ground-attack missiles have also taken off.
Taro Kumamoto has not yet told the three mysterious men who are fighting hard.
Carrying out ground bombing in the Japanese capital of Tokyo was no small matter. The explosive equivalent of the missile was enough to directly destroy the TV station building, and the impact force was not comparable to that of a bazooka's rocket.
No attack order will be issued against the Special Office unless it is absolutely necessary.
…
Hanafuji Doichi, Clooney and Zuo Zhongqiu paid no attention to these things. After the rocket attack, although the magical reaction was still strong, the building fell into a brief silence.
"Too slow, too slow, these Japanese are too slow!"
Clooney listened to the sounds in his ears. The sounds of people evacuating from the surrounding areas could be heard from time to time. He knew that this was not the fault of the Japanese Special Agency, because not much time had passed. However, he could not help but relieve the pressure by complaining.
"Clooney, if the captain heard what you said now, he would definitely punch you to wake you up."
"Stop talking! Something's wrong!"
As the name suggests, the puppeteer belongs to a special category - the puppet.
Demons are neither natural elves nor evil spirits. Although they are also classified as magical creatures, they still possess some paranoid characteristics.
From this point of view, it makes sense that some worlds like to attribute the initial birth of demons to the product of obsession, but the theory of the spiritualization of magic power is the mainstream argument.
In other words, its body and soul can also be regarded as a special kind of active magic, with the same penetrating power, but the fundamental magic that constitutes life cannot be easily used.
From this point of view, they are actually more in line with the concept of ghosts in Earth legends than most evil spirits, but they are much stronger.
There are not too many known types of demons. Some unknown demons may be mistaken for evil spirits, and puppeteer demons are one of the most famous ones.
"Mind limbs" and "puppet strings" can be transformed within the range of its magic radiation, but few people have seen the appearance of its original body, at least it is not described in the association's files.
Several minutes had passed since the rocket exploded, but the puppeteer hadn't made any new moves, which made the three reservists feel a little uneasy.
"What is it doing?"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~
Another dozen rockets flew over, but this time, when they heard the sound of breaking through the air, the three reserve soldiers became alert.
"Oops!" "Get out of here!"
"Bang", "Bang", "Bang"
The force under his feet shattered the ground and he dodged in all directions at extreme speed.
“Boom”, “Boom”, “Boom”, “Boom”…
More than a dozen rockets flew in front of the building, causing violent explosions and covering three strong figures in flames.
In the temporary command post on the rooftop in the distance, Taro Kumamoto and related command personnel were stunned for a moment.
"Bagayaloo!!! What are those bastards of the Land Defense Force doing!!!"
There were more than a dozen firing points on the surrounding rooftops or on the ground, and crazy roars of commanders could be heard in the infinite electricity.
"Team 03, what are you doing? Your goal is to cover three mysterious people and attack the building..."
"Team 06, report the reason for the attack just now..."
"Team 01, who gave the order to attack?"
…
The roar in the infinite electricity received no response.
Where the rocket teams were, the firepower operators were still pulling the triggers, hoping that the empty rocket launchers could be fired again, while the soldiers responsible for loading and providing cover were either lying on the ground vomiting or lying unconscious.
In front of the building, the smoke gradually dissipated.
“Ahem…” “Ahem…Pah…”
Hua Teng Daoyi and Zuo Zhongqiu coughed up blood and spat it out, while Clooney crawled up from the bushes on the side.
These are rockets with high-explosive ammunition. Even if they are not hit directly, the power of the explosion cannot be underestimated. If it were a normal person, they would have died long ago.
Due to their unfamiliarity with the human body structure and unfamiliarity with modern thermal weapons, the puppets' accuracy cannot be compared with that of human soldiers, which results in the rockets being scattered instead of aimed.
If you try to rush out of the coverage area all of a sudden, you might get hit instead.
The three of them relied on their danger perception and changed positions at high speed according to the order of arrival and explosion of the rockets, thus avoiding most of the damage. The rest of them withstood the impact with their superhuman physiques.
While observing with telescopic equipment, either near or far, what was seen were three figures standing in the smoke again.
Despite their ragged clothes and miserable appearance, in the eyes of outsiders, these three men actually withstood what seemed to be direct hits from more than a dozen rockets.
In the center of such an explosion, even an armored vehicle would be shattered, right?
"This is, fuck, a demon puppet?"
The surface was just scratched, but the internal organs were quite shaken.
Clooney was in better condition than his two comrades. He walked over and stood again with Hanato Michiichi and Zuo Zhongqiu.
The three of them took out the petals of the flower of life and a few red fruits from their hidden pockets and chewed them together.
From the time of intervention to now, in just over ten minutes, more than one-third of the magic power in the body has been consumed. This shows that the demon is still in the playful stage.
At this moment, the Special Office also realized belatedly that their own firepower point should have been puppetized again. Some soldiers had already gone to the firepower point to injure and control those puppetized people.
Then they simply abandoned the outer firing points and all personnel evacuated to a farther location.
Overhead, a helicopter hovered in the distance, a loud speaker blaring.
"Three volunteers, please take note. We will launch ground-to-ground missiles in 30 seconds and it is expected that the building will be completely destroyed in 1 minute..."
When the three heard this, they broke out in cold sweats, and their first reaction was to roar towards the sky.
"Don't say it!!! It understands!!!"
As long as it is not transmitted through methods that do not involve mental fluctuations, such as television or telephone, language reception is a common ability of magical creatures, and those with strong control can even use magical vibrations to transmit language consciousness.
Although the helicopter was shouting through a loudspeaker, the mental fluctuations at this distance were extremely obvious. It was almost 100% certain that the puppeteer must understand what this sentence meant.
Unfortunately, it was too late to speak up now.
"Boom~" There was a loud noise.
In the TV station building, many of the curtain wall glasses that had not yet exploded fell off one after another, and then hit the helicopter like cards thrown by countless invisible giant hands, without the helicopter having any chance to avoid it.
"Bang", "Bang", "Bang"
Curtain wall glass as big as three door panels hit the front, middle and rear of the aircraft successively. Most of the pilots and crew members were killed by the impact at the moment of contact.
The propeller of the plane fell off directly, and it fell in a parabola and crashed to the ground in the distance.
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
The ground shook slightly, and black smoke invisible to the naked eye rose from the building. This was an illusion caused by the swinging of countless inky magic lines.
A distorted silhouette with dozens of skinny limbs appeared outside the building. The most conspicuous thing was the pair of pale eyes, with no pupils but only circles of gray coils.
Overall, it is as big as several buses.
"Damn it! Run!!"
Zuo Zhongqiu roared, and together with Hua Teng Daoyi and Clooney, they crushed the ground in an instant and ran out at the fastest speed.
However, it was only a mental trance. A huge sense of crisis came over him. He only had time to curl up and raise his arms to block. In the next second, he disappeared from the spot with three sounds of "bang", "bang" and "bang".
The three of them were blown away like balls by the magic puppet line that was as fast as teleportation, and crashed into a nearby building at a speed faster than their own movement.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~
“Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak…”
The sounds of countless rockets and airborne revolvers rang out from the sky. The six or seven armed helicopters that had just arrived opened fire at full power, all aiming at the TV station building.
“Boom”, “Boom”, “Boom”, “Boom”…
From the first floor to the 17th floor, the entire TV station building was engulfed in explosions and flames.
On the other side, several missiles were launched from the F-XX the moment the helicopter was attacked.
The puppeteer's body had already left the building, and the continuous explosions and impacts almost all fell behind it.
But it is obvious that the flames of the explosion can still have a certain impact on it, and magic power is needed to block part of the flames and impact.
In the air about ten meters away from the building, the demon's pale eyes looked curiously at the building engulfed in flames, and then turned his gaze to the armed helicopters in the sky that continued to pour down fire.
Hua Tengdao corrected his dislocated left arm with a snap and barely crawled out of the concrete pile. In order to block the attack, most of the moss on his arm withered and most of his magic power was consumed.
However, the growing moss is worthy of being the companion substance of the tree shepherd. It is obviously withered, but it shows signs of activation again in these few tens of seconds.
In the field of vision, several tactical missiles were approaching at high speed with tail flames, and although the puppeteer also saw the missiles, its attention was on the armed helicopters.
Less than a second after the tail flame was seen, the missile dived diagonally into the building from the air.
At the same moment the flash suddenly appeared.
"boom……"
An explosion dozens of times more powerful than the previous one created a tiny mushroom cloud, completely covering the puppeteer spirit that was only a dozen meters away from the building.
