As for the awakened ones, due to their very small number, ordinary people may never meet one in their lifetime.

But for the big families that have existed for thousands of years, these guys are not completely unknown.

Because in this world, most of the big families are actually forces established by various awakened people.

The reason why some big families can last for many years is precisely because the awakened people in the family are still alive or there are new awakened people among their descendants.

Generally speaking.

As long as there is an awakened person in a large family, the continuation of the family will not be a problem.

Just the various interests and compromises that others are forced to give up will ensure that the family has enough interests to survive forever!

On the contrary, once the big families that hold important interests lose the support of the awakened ones, it will be difficult for them to continue to survive.

Or they have to give up relevant core interests.

Or you have to find an external awakener to rely on and voluntarily pay protection fees.

In short.

It is basically inevitable that all the big families and big forces will have to deal with the awakened ones.

The Izayoi family, where the three Yeqi sisters used to live, had considerable power in the prosperous Sakura district, so naturally they had to act in this way.

It is precisely because there is an awakened person in the Izayoi family that they can maintain their own interests for a long time!

and.

Based on the existence of that awakened one.

The rest of the awakened ones were engaging in various interpersonal interactions with him.

Each member of the Izayoi family will naturally be able to come into contact with more awakened people!

It's like a special circle.

Ordinary people cannot access it.

And I don't feel anything at all.

But the relevant personnel are well aware of and familiar with all situations.

While the three Yeqi sisters were falling asleep one after another, in the suburbs of Tokyo.

The area where Xi Shenlian had previously experimented with her own powers seemed a bit lively.

In this place which is now a mess, hundreds of people are conducting exploration with various equipment.

There were even helicopters in the sky with searchlights flying back and forth to patrol and inspect.

"...Hasn't it been found out which Awakened person did this?"

This is the voice of the person in charge asking.

"not yet."

His assistant replied respectfully:

"Awakeners who can do such things are at least in the [Mature Stage], and their whereabouts are often impossible to fully monitor. If we are not careful, we don't know where they run off to. And if they deliberately hide their whereabouts, it will be even more difficult for us to detect them..."

About forty hours ago.

Local residents informed the authorities that a small earthquake occurred nearby late at night.

original.

The government didn't care much.

Because the earthquake only cracked a few houses.

It didn't even collapse!

Just contact the insurance company and it's done.

But soon, the relevant personnel who were conducting inspections following the earthquake source discovered the problem.

They found that the source of the vibrations was coming from somewhere on the surface hundreds of kilometers away from populated areas.

Can it crack houses even at a distance of hundreds of kilometers?

Could it be that someone is conducting a large-scale surface nuclear explosion test here?

This scared the relevant personnel so much that they quickly reported the matter to the government departments.

And then.

The government department successfully discovered a surface ditch more than 20 kilometers long, with a depth and width of tens or even hundreds of meters, in the primeval forest, as well as devastation on the ground that looked like a large-scale nuclear war had occurred.

The person in charge was not surprised by the assistant's answer, and his face was full of distress:

"...those monsters...are always making a big noise."

"We have to work overtime in the middle of the night to deal with various problems..."

Between words.

Full of helplessness of being forced to work overtime.

Then.

He looked somewhere in the distance where dozens of people were conducting repeated measurements.

It was a large pit with a diameter of about two kilometers and an average depth of about two hundred meters.

"Have they not finished measuring yet?"

"You've measured it seven or eight times, right?"

"What's the repetitive quantity of a big pit?"

“Is there oil in it?”

Face this problem.

The assistant was also confused and sent a message to ask.

then.

After a brief silence.

The assistant replied:

"Originally they only planned to measure once, but based on the topographic structure, they soon discovered that the crater was not a flat surface, but a whole mountain... so they planned to measure the data several times to deduce the results."

"According to the known deduction results, the original height of the mountain was about 400 to 600 meters. The attacker should have launched a horizontal attack, directly breaking the mountain, and the remaining force was hit in the air and dissipated into nothingness. If the opponent launched an attack directly on the surface, according to the feedback from the researchers, it is very likely that a large number of houses would collapse hundreds of kilometers away, killing many people..."

The leader was immediately shocked when he heard:

"This level of power... an Awakener at the Self Stage??"

"There are only about twenty guys of that level in Japan, and each one is under the strictest surveillance. Why would they sneak here in the middle of the night and destroy the forest?"

Although it is surveillance.

But in fact, it is more inclined to appease and restrict the other party from running around.

Because the government does not expect a group of guys who are more dangerous than large-yield nuclear warheads and can massacre the surface civilization alone without being stopped by strong people of the same level and super weapons, to disappear inexplicably from their sight or hide in the dark.

so.

Once the surveillance personnel discovered that the target's movement trajectory was strange, even the Prime Minister would have to call immediately to inquire about the actual situation.

"It's not clear yet, but the various traces at the scene and the deduction results are being counted. We should be able to see it in a while."

"But... I think things have gone beyond what we can handle."

"It's better for us to hand over the handling of the matter as soon as possible."

Regarding the assistant's words.

The leader did not deny it, but nodded in agreement:

"It can only be like that."

"Although I don't know what that guy wants to do by running into the primeval forest in the middle of the night, I think there must be a reason..."

"Once the deduction results come out, contact them immediately..."

Let’s talk about the latter.

The person in charge was also a little worried.

I deeply feel that I am facing some unimaginable huge storm!

In my mind, I couldn't help but come up with all kinds of conspiracies and tricks...

And as the guy who caused the trouble.

Xi Shenlian was lying in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel, calmly playing a shooting game.

In the game.

At this moment, relying on his reaction speed that far exceeded that of ordinary people, he could easily slaughter all the players. It was even easier than fighting against a computer!

Do you want to ask him what the pleasure of gaming is?

He could only say no.

Because the difficulty is too low.

So there is absolutely no sense of accomplishment.

But the thought of the rest of the players is painful.

He felt somewhat relieved.
