"I have joined forces with the Southern Master. Zhejiang and Min can be recovered within three days."

Yan Nishuang sent a briefing on the team channel.

"The war situation in the four northern provinces is intense. Civilians have migrated southward, and the Tianshi Mansion is leading a team to recover lost territory." Zhao Yu also sent a message, but did not report heavy casualties, indicating that the war was still under control.

Then he also gave a brief report on the wars in the southwest and other directions. The situation was not good, especially in South Asia. The indigenous population was too large. If it was widely spread by the Church of Hastur, it would create a terrifying number of ancient god monsters. Bai Lin could not imagine the scene of billions of monsters attacking the east. Even if the Silent One elimination program was activated at that time, the east would probably be destroyed as well.

"The Silent Program must not be activated in the East!" Bai Lin silently made up his mind.

While thinking, Bai Lin had already seen the land to the east.

As if in response to its fate of being controlled by the minions of the ancient gods, the land of the island nation was covered by thick clouds, revealing only a pitch-black silhouette.

Bai Lin observed with his eyes infused with the power of order and realized that those might not be dark clouds formed by water vapor, but the resentment formed by countless wronged souls.

In 2020, the total population of Tokyo and three prefectures, namely Kanagawa, Chiba, and Saitama, has reached more than 3500 million, which means that one-third of Japan's population lives in Tokyo and its surrounding areas. This is an extremely densely populated area, and unlike the East, where there is a vast strategic depth and the population can be migrated inland in the event of a disaster, Tokyo residents can be said to have no way out when a disaster occurs.

It is also for this reason that many film and television works set some world-destroying plots in Tokyo, which is definitely the best stage for a human disaster.

"This level of resentment..." Bai Lin couldn't help but take a breath. He had only experienced the ultimate horror in the scene of the Yellow Spring Gate wide open in the historical fragments, otherwise he would be so scared that he almost wanted to run away. Coincidentally, the last time he saw such a horrible scene was also in Neon.

Bai Lin gritted his teeth, and concealed his figure and breath more carefully. He silently approached the land of the island country along the sea surface and landed quietly.

In fact, Japan's closest island to the east is Kyushu Island, which is where Nagasaki and Kagoshima are located. However, this time Bailin did not choose to land in Kagoshima, but instead detoured several hundred kilometers to the north and landed in Ishikawa Prefecture, which is closer to Tokyo. As long as it flies east over the famous Mount Fuji, it can reach Tokyo. This is also the route that Bailin carefully selected.

The previous base of the Light Ship in Kagoshima had been destroyed, and Bai Lin could not determine the location of Fujiwara Eko, but he had some inferences.

There is a certain chance that Fujiwara Eko will become an ally of the Hastur Church, but it is estimated that both sides know that the other side has bad intentions and will never be of one mind. That doesn't make much difference to Bai Lin. He can't fight alongside Fujiwara Eko against the ancient gods, and the three parties will end up fighting to the death.

But he was certain that Fujiwara Eko was safe in Neon, and was not waiting for rescue in a life-or-death situation as she had expressed, but was trying to lead him to Neon and seize the summoning book with the help of the power of the ancient gods.

Thinking further, Fujiwara Eko will definitely do her best to put herself in the best ambush location, which requires an environment that is most convenient for her to realize the "Shikigami Record". Sacrificing the lives of 3500 million people in Tokyo for this will not cause any psychological or moral obstacles for Fujiwara Eko, but will instead make her extremely excited.

This is the inference Bai Lin made from abnormal psychology. If you treat the enemy as a human being, the world would have been peaceful long ago. Bai Lin had long realized a problem, that is, there are many people in this world whose psychology is not that of a "human being".

The dense population brings with it a cloud of resentment that is as thick as a substance, providing a large amount of "rations" for the Shikigami, and there is no place more suitable than Tokyo.

Bai Lin thought that he had cut off the aura completely, and with the help of concealment spells and dim light, his whereabouts would never be exposed unless someone knew his route very well and used a powerful reconnaissance spell to illuminate him at close range.

The towns and villages along the road were very quiet. There was not a single car on the entire coastal highway, as if the whole of Japan had fallen into deathly silence, or all the Japanese had disappeared.

Bai Lin did not land to find out where everyone had gone. He remained silent and flew past at a high speed, close to the ground.

The vegetation on Mount Fuji is very lush. This active volcano is called the sacred mountain by the Japanese. As a scenery, Mount Fuji is indeed magnificent, but the danger of eruption at any time has become a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the Japanese.

Bai Lin flew quietly over the top of Mount Fuji, and looked back thoughtfully when flying over Yamanashi Prefecture.

When he just flew into the Tokyo area, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

It was as if he was being watched from afar, with his every move being watched by the other person.

He frowned and, like a ball of black mist, sneaked into a small room on the top of an old building nearby. Generally speaking, the rooms on the top of such buildings are elevator rooms and no one would normally enter here.

Bai Lin's mind raced, wondering what was wrong. He felt like he had missed something.

His original plan was to secretly investigate in Tokyo. With his reconnaissance ability, as long as Fujiwara Eko sent out the Shikigami to act, he could easily capture it, and then follow the Shikigami to find Fujiwara Eko.

But now, this feeling of being targeted by others from the very beginning is quite unpleasant.

While he was thinking, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Brother Bai, why did you go to Tokyo so hard? Isn't it just to cause trouble for me? Why do you have to hide?"

Bai Lin was startled and he thought of the problem. It was Edogawa Hiroyuki. This guy had been missing for half a year. Bai Lin also used the Eastern Intelligence Network and Zero to search for him, but there were no useful clues. It seems that Edogawa Hiroyuki should have found Fujiwara Eko.

The reunion of siblings is not necessarily a happy story. It is also possible that Fujiwara Eko has complete control over Edogawa Hiroyuki, and Edogawa Hiroyuki has some authority over the summoning illustration team members, so Fujiwara Eko can send messages to Bai Lin through the internal channel of the summoning illustration.

"Brother Bai, there is no need to guess. I am not controlled by my sister's spell like the Imperius Curse. It's just... a little different..." Edogawa Hiroyuki's voice was calm and indifferent, and it did not seem like he was controlled by dark magic or the yellow seal of the Hastur Church.

Bai Lin did not respond to the other party. Perhaps the other party was not sure of his exact location, and he would be completely locked down once he answered.

"Let me guess, Brother Bai must want to find my sister through Shikigami or other clues, and then take the initiative..." Edogawa Hiroyuki said calmly.

This kid's reasoning ability was comparable to the super elementary school student in the comics that Bai Lin remembered, which made Bai Lin feel very difficult.
