After leaving the campus of First High School, Gu Jie disappeared into a nearby alley. Before starting his operation, he had already thoroughly familiarized himself with the terrain around the First High School of the few blind spots in the area's surveillance system; by walking a short distance through this alley, he could reach a nearby commercial street. Once there, he would change his clothes and was confident that he could escape Yunyi's pursuit.
However, just as Gu Jie turned a corner, he immediately stopped in his tracks. He looked at the person leaning against the wall not far away, watching him, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Nice to meet you? I suppose I could say that?" Yunyi greeted Gu Jie.
"Strictly speaking, this is indeed our first meeting," Gu Jie responded. "But I'd like to know, why are you keeping bothering me? Have I done anything to provoke you?"
Yunyi chuckled, took out his terminal, and showed a photo to Gu Jie: "Do you remember this person?"
Gu Jie stared at the person on the terminal screen, pondered for a while, and then shook his head blankly.
"Should I say you've committed countless evils? Or is it because you've killed too many people to remember? Over a decade ago, your ' Blanche ' gang launched a terrorist attack in India. In that attack, you personally killed twenty-three soldiers of the Great Asian Alliance. The man you just saw was one of them, and he was my father. Gu Jie, tell me, should I seek revenge against you?"
Upon hearing Yunyi's words, Gu Jie's pupils contracted sharply. His body tensed immediately, clearly indicating that he had entered a state of combat readiness.
"As a member of the Great Asian Alliance, you should be well aware of the country's position in the world! Everything I've done is to change this situation! Why are you stopping me? Are you willing to disregard the future of the nation just because of a personal vendetta?" Gu Jie slowly retreated, but continued to justify his actions.
"World order? National prospects? Gu Jie, don't you feel ashamed when you say these things?" Yunyi retorted, "Back then, if your subordinate research institute hadn't forcibly abducted Maya Yotsuba from the Yotsuba Family in Japan, resulting in the Yotsuba Clan's retaliation and severely damaging the magicians of the Great Han, and because of this, those old guys from the Celestial Master's Mansion would have completely lost faith in the Great Han and severed all ties, disappearing into the mountains. If it weren't for all of this, how could the Great Han have perished? How could the Great Asian Alliance have fallen into its current state! Gu Jie, don't try to absolve yourself of your crimes with your twisted logic. Today, I'll take your life."
As soon as he finished Kanon, Electric Light crackled at Yunyi's fingertips. Seeing that Yunyi was about to make a move, Gu Jie also took out a talisman. As a user of Ancient Magic, Gu Jie did not need to rely on CAD when casting spells.
"Buzz~~~!"
Just then, air raid sirens sounded over Tokyo. This unexpected turn of events caused Yunyi to halt his plans to continue the attack.
"Oh? Is this the attack time you agreed upon with the America?" Yunyi asked, looking at the Gu Jie who was beaming with delight.
Upon hearing Yunyi's question, Gu Jie's expression froze. He looked at Yunyi: "How did you know!?"
"Heh, do you really think no one knows what you've been doing in the shadows? As someone who can log into the ' Supreme Throne, ' haven't you considered that there might be another kind of eavesdropping system in this world?" Yunyi sneered.
"Another... kind of eavesdropping system?" Gu Jie was taken aback; he truly hadn't considered the existence of such a system. His access to the " Supreme Throne " allowed him to gather intelligence and seize the initiative. But what if the " Supreme Throne " could also be monitored by someone else?
Thinking of this, Gu Jie was already covered in cold sweat.
Seeing his expression, Yunyi chuckled inwardly. As for a surveillance system, they certainly didn't have that capability yet. After all, the number of satellites required for a globally covering surveillance system was far beyond their means. Even if they had the economic strength, other countries would have already taken heed of the warnings if they were to launch that many satellites!
" Banishment!"
Just as Gu Jie was filled with alarm, Yunyi directly cast a spell. A spatial rift opened behind Gu Jie, and the gravitational pull of the shattered space dragged Gu Jie's body into the rift.
Upon realizing the change, Gu Jie immediately used magic to deal with it, but Yunyi directly used a " Breeze " spell to blow Gu Jie directly into the spatial rift.
As the spatial rift closed, Yunyi gently exhaled a breath of stale air. Although killing Gu Jie now would be considered revenge, his mother might want to kill this enemy with her own hands.
While Gu Jie was dealt with here, the situation on the other side was not so fortunate. Without Gu Jie as their controller, the " Corpse Puppet " immediately went berserk and launched indiscriminate attacks near the First High School.
The continuous explosions made Yunyi, who was in the alley, raise an eyebrow. Meanwhile, Tokyo Bay was also in chaos. America warships were launching missiles from the coast towards the Japan mainland, and fighter jets from aircraft carriers had also taken off to attack the Japan mainland.
Under the cover of artillery fire, the " Parasite Soldier " were transported to the Japan mainland by landing craft. These " Parasite Soldier Parasite Soldier " were far more powerful than ordinary soldiers, and they even possessed special superpowers. The Japanese soldiers responsible for guarding Japan coast were simply no match for them!
The sudden attack by the US military left the heads of the Ten Master Clans, who had previously harbored suspicions about the military's actions, completely dumbfounded. They knew that the US military's current actions constituted an invasion of Japan, an act that would inevitably draw worldwide condemnation!
"Stop with the nonsense! We must gather our strength and get back to work! As for the US fleet, let's deal with it after we've driven away all the landing troops!" Gouki Ichijo of the Ichijo Family said in a deep voice.
The other family heads did not object to his proposal. Under their command, all the power of the Ten Master Ancestors converged towards Tokyo. The responsibility of command was entrusted to Koichi Saegusa and Kazuki Jumonji. Maya Yotsuba was regarded as a trump card by the others and was not intended to be sent directly to the battlefield.
At the Shiba residence, Tatsuya Shiba and Miyuki Shiba, who were about to leave for First High School, received a call from Maya Yotsuba before leaving, asking them to rush over and meet him immediately. Compared to the turmoil caused by Gu Jie at First High School, the US military fleet at sea was the biggest threat Japan was facing at this time. And the only person in Tokyo who could pose a threat to this fleet or even annihilate it was Tatsuya Shiba.
