Chapter 77: Hyakkiyakou!
Soon, the Japanese citizens had no time to worry about the safety of the prime minister, who was attacked by the Tsukumogamis since they had to face them as Hyakkiyakou took place in every city and town in Japan!
At 5 p.m., when the entire nation of Japan was shrouded in the darkness and the mist filled the atmosphere, the shadows of every usual thing gradually became rageous under the influence of scarlet moonlight and a great number of Tsukumogamis were transformed!
The old TV transformed to become walkable under the scarlet moonlight, mumbling and looking for its owner in the past as its monoc vision was still on.
The abandoned huge doll also gradually turned into a Tsukumogami after illuminated by the moonlight.
Old mobile phones, old tables and chairs, old computers, old glasses, old wooden doors, old hands…...
A variety of ordinary things that had been abandoned were now revived today and appeared everywhere.
The illusion of attacking humans until they became unconscious and the phenomena of absorbing the spirit of human was the only memory left in everyone’s mind.
However, the appearance of the Tsukumogamis was only the first step since ghosts and demons had also begun to appear!
Millions of strange-looking spirits and ghosts started wandering on the streets, beasts and monsters with scary appearance showed up in line.
The bitter cold wind whistled, the carnival screams of the ghosts resounded in all directions, and the dense non-human figures were squeezed together.
Tokyo, Osaka, Yokohama, Nagasaki, Hiroshima…...there were traces of ghosts in every Japanese city.
Even in the sparsely-populated villages, there were demons such as snow women.
In the meantime, the mist enveloping the whole Japan seemed to become gloomy and green, accompanied by the appearance of ghosts and demons.
Out of fear and self-defense, many Japanese shrine members and religious figures bravely tried to stop the pace of the ghosts, but without exception, they only ended up passing out as they had no actual abilities.
Without the dispatch authority of the Prime Minister, armed forces such as the Self-Defense Forces throughout Japan still launched operations under the command of parliamentarians and consortiums, but they couldn’t dispatch heavy weaponry and aircrafts and tanks due to low visibility.
In order to prevent accidental friendly fire in the mist, they had to be very careful when using those hot weapons.
Moreover, the self-defense force's quality wasn’t great, hence the parliamentarians and consortiums had no hope for them as they were all thinking about contacting the United States, hoping that President Trump could quickly save them from this emergency and send the Navy over.
However, Hu Feng had already expected this, so he deliberately set up the mist as a multi-layered obstacle, which not only weakened the firepower of the Self-Defense Forces, but also isolated the inside from the outside world. The domestic communication of Japan was normal, but it was impossible to contact the outside world!
Mitsubishi Nakamura, the owner of the largest consortium in Japan, supporting the largest number of parliamentarians to participate in the elections and contributing a large amount of political contributions to the parliamentarians every year, took the lead in trying to call the President Trump for help.
Watching the broadcast of the Prime Minister being attacked provided by the subordinates, Mitsubishi Nakamura had cold sweat on his forehead and began to contact the Japanese Self-Defense Forces Command, the Navy Command and other military organizations.
But either no one answered, or the call was connected but the operator claimed that the soldiers and officers had all fled. Since the mist filled the atmosphere, the motor vehicles were difficult to operate normally, so they were unable to send troops to station and protect the Mitsubishi consortium.
Becoming furious, Mitsubishi Nakamura decided to contact the United States, but he couldn’t understand why the satellite call to the United States was unable to connect even though the domestic Internet and communications were normal.
At the same time, in view of the disconnection between Japan and the outside world, the countries which had trading relationships with Japan were also very surprised and they started questioning the Japanese government using various channels, but everything seemed to be sinking into oblivion.
In the White House.
"Is the mist in Japan a normal natural disaster?"
"Mr. President, there is not enough sample data to collect, so we can't accurately judge whether it is normal…..."
Many famous meteorologists truthfully explained. "But according to common sense, even if there is an unusually large range of mist, it shouldn’t cover the entire territory of Japan and even the sea. It’s truly abnormal!"
"That is to say, it might be a meteorological weapon, right? Moreover, it’s specifically released for Japan! I understand."
The President of the United States, Trump, who was concerned, decisively secretly informed the American army that all of them had to enter the second-level battle preparation after consulting many famous meteorologists hired by the White House.
At the same time, he quickly dispatched the fifth joint fleet and the nearest help from the military bases of the US military in South Korea, the Philippines and other countries to Japan at the fastest speed.
As for the vast majority of ordinary Japanese people, they were hiding in their homes fearfully.
They only dared to peek at the wandering monsters on the streets, repeatedly going back and forth from the gaps in their curtains.
But those Tsukumogamis had no leisure and elegance of the ghosts and demons, it was as if they were holding a parade on the streets, as they often broke into ordinary people's houses.
After all, in Hu Feng’s mind, the Tsukumogamis would bring the people the most direct and the gravest experience, while the ghosts and demons holding a parade throughout the streets created a kind of absurd reality that they had already come to the world filled with demons, as ghosts could walk on the streets freely.
