Chapter 37 Anomalies Appear at Mount Sukuna
Chapter 37 Anomalies Appear at Mount Sukuna
"Mr. Yamada, where are you going so late?"
A patrol officer who had just arrived at the police station to take over the shift looked at Yamada with a puzzled expression.
Inspector Yamada is the oldest and most experienced patrolman in this police station.
He could be considered a senior member of the bureau, and Yamada was originally exempted from the night patrol.
“The Victory Team came by during the day. I’m a little worried about the situation on Mount Sukuna. I’d like to go check it out during the shift change.”
Yamada didn't change out of his uniform; instead, he pulled out another bicycle and planned to go into the mountains.
"Senior, it's too dangerous for you to go there alone."
"I'll go with you!"
Yamada understood the young patrolman's little scheme; it was a way of fulfilling his superiors' orders and showing concern for his seniors at the police station.
However, he had no reason to refuse this kind of initiative.
After all, it is indeed a bit dangerous for an old man like him to go to Su Na Mountain.
He smiled, got on his bicycle, turned around and said, "What are you still standing there for?"
"Here I am!"
The young patrolman hopped on another bicycle and followed behind Patrolman Yamada toward Mount Sukunaga.
On the way, the young patrolman couldn't help but ask, "I heard that the Victory Team came by during the day and specifically asked you to go there, senior."
"Could something have happened at Mount Sukana?"
"There are some things."
Police officer Yamada briefly recounted the events of the day on the way.
The young patrolman was stunned after hearing this: "That member of the GUTS team suspects that there might be a monster in the Sukuna Mountains?"
"However, according to the actual investigation, no trace of the monster was found, but it was discovered that the temple on the mountain had been stolen?"
The young patrolman was initially suspicious that the other party was lying to him, but then he figured it out.
If it's just self-deception, then the only possibility is that the winning team requested secrecy.
"That's right. It would be best if no monsters appeared."
Although that's what Inspector Yamada said, he was actually a little worried.
After all, if a monster really appears, that would be a huge problem.
They live in a relatively remote mountainous area, and if a monster were to appear, the casualties would be terrifying.
Even if there are monsters, it's better to find them in advance so we can take refuge sooner.
After cycling for half an hour, the two finally arrived at the foot of Mount Suona.
By this time, it was completely dark, and the entire Sukona Mountain was very quiet.
"Senior, it seems there's nothing wrong here."
The young patrolman looked at the quiet Mount Sukana and couldn't help but speak.
"Don't be careless, let's go take a look."
Police officer Yamada remained vigilant and pushed his bicycle into the mountains.
Seeing this, the young patrolman had no choice but to follow.
The two walked along the mountain path for a while but did not find anything unusual.
"Senior, perhaps we are overthinking it?"
The young patrol officer relaxed a bit.
Shh, listen.
Police officer Yamada suddenly made a shushing gesture while listening intently.
The young patrolman paused for a moment, then listened intently.
His expression quickly changed: "This is..."
"Rumble~~"
A muffled rumble came from deep within Mount Suona.
At the same time, the ground began to tremble slightly.
"Oh no, it's an earthquake!"
The young patrolman's face changed drastically, and he swayed unsteadily from side to side.
The tremor disappeared in an instant, and if it weren't for the crooked trees nearby, they would have thought they had misremembered.
"Senior, is this an indirect earthquake?"
"What...what should we do? Should we go in and check?"
The young patrolman asked, his body trembling slightly.
"It doesn't look like an earthquake. I'll go check it out. You wait for me at the foot of the mountain!"
"Take care of yourself!"
After saying that, he continued forward without hesitation.
A minor earthquake occurred in Mount Sukana!
"Captain, should we move out?"
When Shinjo saw that something was really wrong at Suona Mountain, his pupils contracted and he immediately reported the actual situation.
Lin Yeming was right again.
Minor earthquake?
With that kind of strength, even a tree wouldn't fall.
Let's wait and see.
After listening to Xincheng's feedback, Jujian Hui quickly made a judgment.
We'll have to wait.
Seeing that Jujian Hui did not express her thoughts, Zongfang knew what she was thinking and said, "No rush, let's wait a bit."
"Check if the local police station has any unusual reports."
Xincheng got to work and found a police station near Sukana Mountain.
No abnormalities reported.
"However, the police have already gone to the nearest station and made contact. Neither of them was injured."
Megumi Kijima: "Keep an eye on it."
After a long while, just as the sky began to brighten, the report finally came from the other side.
"We have news."
“A deep pit suddenly appeared over the side of Su Na Mountain.”
Xincheng immediately reported the news upon receiving it.
Megumi tapped the table lightly, pondering whether to send the GUTS team directly.
However, Lin Yeming had specifically instructed that there should be a problem with this place.
She glanced at the time; it should be time to get up.
"Yeming, you said there's a problem at Su Na Mountain. Do you think we should send someone in?"
Lin Yeming listened to the words coming from the communicator, put down the towel in his hand, and asked, "What's the problem?"
Megumi Kijima: "According to the report, a small earthquake occurred last night, which caused a deep crater to collapse."
"The image has been sent to you."
After reading it, he said in a serious tone, "This is not good. We should start planning to evacuate people."
"Is the situation serious?" Hearing Lin Yeming's solemn tone, Ju Jianhui's heart couldn't help but jump.
"It's not serious at the moment, but it's better to prepare in advance just in case."
Lin Yeming shook his head slightly. He couldn't very well say that he was guessing there was a monster down there, could he?
"I understand."
Megumi hung up the call and turned to Munakata beside her: "Notify everyone to assemble."
"At the same time, we asked the local police to cooperate in preparing to evacuate the local residents."
"understand!"
Zongfang immediately took action.
Could there be something buried in that mountain?
"New City, look into the local legends."
"Found it; there's a local legend about Sukuna-ki."
"Based on the information we have, the bronze statue and the Demon-Suppressing Sword have been stolen."
The seal is broken, and the spirits are resurrected?
Based on the current information, Izayoi Megumi came to the worst possible conclusion.
If that's true, then we really need to be prepared to evacuate the residents.
What's giving her a headache is that there's been too much news about ghosts and spirits lately. If a misunderstanding occurs, the Victory Team will definitely be in trouble at the meeting.
However, for the safety of the residents, this matter cannot be left undone.
She has a bit of a headache right now.
Upon receiving the latest news, Lin Yeming was the first to arrive at headquarters.
Upon entering the command room, he laid out his analysis in its entirety.
He suspected that the pit was caused by Sukuna-ki.
The reason is the record in the Taiping Customs and Traditions.
