Chapter 502
Communication
Meanwhile, in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Asagi Igawa was strolling alone on the street. She had come here after receiving information from Nobushige Yamamoto.
Currently, due to the implementation of the Anti-Secession Law, commercial facilities and shops are basically closed, and the streets of bustling areas have become dim, with pedestrian traffic less than one-tenth of the usual amount.
Only countless soldiers with live ammunition guarded the streets, and even military tanks were parked at various intersections.
After the situation suddenly became like a state of war, the citizens were clearly still recovering from their lives, which, although dangerous, were generally peaceful. Their eyes were filled with unease and fear as they looked at the soldiers and tanks.
The soldiers completely ignored the gazes of the citizens, each standing motionless like a statue.
"This is really troublesome. How dare that Prime Minister do something like this?"
As she strolled leisurely among the soldiers, Igawa Asagi muttered to herself, having already learned what had happened from the television and Hinata Gen's messages.
Therefore, to avoid unnecessary trouble, she cast a spell on herself that would make her invisible to ordinary people.
After all, these ordinary soldiers probably had no idea what was happening. They were just doing what they were told to do, and there was no need to start an unnecessary massacre.
"You've got some nerve, actually trying to wipe out our thousand-year-old Demon-Slaying Ninja clan?"
At that moment, Igawa Asagi suddenly noticed that her image appeared on the large screen in the center of the square, and almost everyone she knew was also on it.
Each of the Tamanin is an exceptionally outstanding individual, and most of them are the heads and elders of Tamanin clans. These prestigious families have a profound influence in all walks of life in Japan, and it goes without saying what the Prime Minister wants to do.
Moreover, the sounds of battle coming from afar further proved this point. If Igawa Asagi remembered correctly, that direction was exactly towards a family belonging to the Fuuma clan.
Although both of them were members of the Anti-Demon Ninja clan and were attacked, Asagi Igawa had no time to worry about them; she had more important things to do at the moment.
"Madam, you've arrived..."
After turning a few corners, Igawa Asagi entered a club that had ceased operations. As soon as she entered, a plain-looking, hunchbacked man walked up to her and respectfully greeted her.
"Where is what I asked for?" Igawa Asagi nodded slowly upon hearing this.
This place is considered one of the Hyuga clan's intelligence agencies, and Igawa Asagi had already notified the person in charge here before coming to Shinjuku.
"Madam, please take a look. This is a prohibited product developed by the Chinese United Government. It can use encrypted communications exclusively for the government."
After taking the document and confirming its contents, Igawa Asagi nodded and asked, "Has your family been harassed by the government?"
The hunchbacked man smiled, his face full of confidence, and said, "Don't worry, madam. Although the government is acting like a madman right now, they don't dare to attack us yet."
"That's good, otherwise..."
Igawa Asagi chuckled, but didn't say what he was going to say next.
Her current responsibility is to deal with Asuka Koga's problem. As for the problem of the Demon Ninja, she believes that Genji Hyuga and the others can handle it, so she doesn't need to worry about it too much.
After leaving the clubhouse, Igawa Asagi entered a small alley with ease. Just as she was about to open the manhole cover mentioned in the intelligence report, she discovered that the manhole cover had disappeared at some point, revealing a dark vertical hole underneath.
After sensing that there was nothing unusual below, Igawa Asagi shook her head, gently jumped down, turned a few corners, and then stopped in front of a wall.
After feeling around on the wall for a while, Asagi Igawa pressed down hard, and a faint electronic sound rang out simultaneously. Part of the wall opened to reveal an electronic display panel and a numeric keypad.
Seeing the prompt to enter her password, Asagi Igawa entered the 10-digit password without stopping.
buzz
After the password was entered, the wall in front of Asagi Igawa began to move, revealing an even deeper underground passage.
"Although this is my first time here, I don't feel any sense of unfamiliarity at all. Asuka, are you hiding here?" Asagi Igawa said with a sigh, feeling the cold air underground.
The place where Igawa Asagi is currently located is a special facility connected by a huge network of underground cables extending through Tokyo, which houses classified defense-related lines.
This place is equivalent to a top national secret. If Yamamoto Nobushige hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known about its existence, nor how Asuka Koga and his organization got inside.
After finding her target location, Asagi Igawa connected the communicator given to her by the hunchbacked man to it and established communication with someone in the government.
Before Ikawa Asagi could wait long, the other end of the communication was answered.
"It's me..."
The voice of Yamamoto Nobushige came from the other end. I didn't know what had happened, but his usually energetic voice sounded tired and revealed a deep sense of powerlessness.
"Chief Yamamoto, I need to know Asuka and the others' exact location."
Upon hearing Asagi Igawa's voice, Nobushige Yamamoto was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "Asagi, the situation is already very serious, and you still have the mind to look for people. Besides, it seems you're using the government's encrypted communication system."
"Yes, the communication only lasts for three minutes. You said you'd let me know when I got there, and now it's time. As for the unrest that's happening now, it's already being dealt with, so you don't need to worry too much."
After listening to Igawa Asagi's words, Yamamoto Nobushige sighed helplessly: "To be honest, I have completely lost my autonomy and am under house arrest at the Prime Minister's official residence. As for the information you requested about Koga Asuka, I'm sorry..."
Seeing that she had not gotten the information she wanted, Igawa Asagi did not intend to continue communicating with Yamamoto Nobushige and planned to hang up the call directly.
Upon seeing this, Yamamoto Nobushige immediately said urgently, "Asagi, the Kanda Brigade directly under the Prime Minister has already gone to Gosha Academy. If you don't go soon, those children might be in danger."
"Commander Yamamoto, I believe Hinata-kun and his team can handle this. Since you don't have any information about Asuka, then goodbye."
Before Yamamoto Nobushige could say anything more, Igawa Asagi hung up the call a little over a minute before it was discovered.
