People become saints through meritorious deeds in Tokyo

Chapter 43 Decoy
"Are you Ichiro Watanabe? It was you who first discovered the traces of Crow Tengu?"

Yagyu looked at his subordinate standing in front of him, bent at a ninety-degree angle, and asked without any emotion.

The Yagyu clan used to be the exclusive swordsmanship instructors of the shogunate, but after the Overthrow Movement, they became the emperor's official swordsmanship instructors.

After entering the new century, swordsmanship has lost its original role, but the Yagyu clan still has a place in the government relying on the connections they have built over hundreds of years. Even the so-called Special Countermeasures Department established this time, when Saburo Inukai said When Yagyu was appointed as the minister alone, everyone else put aside their own petty thoughts.

After all, the Yagyu clan has always been the most secretive force around the shogunate or the emperor, somewhat similar to the leader of the assassination department, so letting him hold this position can only be said to be a professional counterpart.

"Hai! This subordinate encountered the Crow Tengu while investigating the assassination of the Baba policeman by a split-mouth girl, and fought with it. Unfortunately, my subordinate's skills were not perfect and he could not capture the Crow Tengu alive!"

Ichiro Watanabe feels that his life has begun to cheat. In the past two days, he has met a lot of big shots who could only look up to on TV before. Even cabinet ministers talked to him on the phone.

There is no doubt that the Watanabe family will finally rise!
However, the more cautious you are at times like this, Ichiro Watanabe knows that his sudden rise will definitely cause dissatisfaction among many people. After all, he is competing for food from those established nobles, so he must do everything well now, absolutely Can't fall before dawn.

"Do you think there is any connection between the Crow Tengu and the Rift Girl?"

Without letting Ichiro Watanabe get up, Yagyu asked directly.

"My humble opinion! Don't dare to overstep your bounds!"

"My subordinates don't need waste, just say what you say!"

"My subordinates feel that the appearance of the Crow Tengu is inevitably related to the Gap Girl. Otherwise, why has no one found traces of the extraordinary creature for so many years, but it happened to appear when my subordinates were investigating the Gap Girl!"

Ichiro Watanabe had simulated this situation hundreds of times in his mind in the past few days, so he immediately opened his mouth to analyze it.

"The rumors of Tengu have been in Japan for thousands of years. In the past, everyone regarded them as myths and legends. However, after this incident, it is certain that the so-called Shikai Records should be the historical data left behind by the ancients who encountered these monsters. It’s just that no one paid attention to it before.”

"Keep your head up! Keep going!"

Yagyu Du said while flipping through Ichiro Watanabe's resume.

He is quite satisfied with this subordinate's resume. A person who comes from a poor family but can rely on himself to transcend class is definitely worthy of everyone's admiration.

Only those stupid romance dramas will have so many second-generation people who look down on others. Of course there are such second-generation people in reality, but they are basically abandoned by their families and are still responsible for eating and waiting to die to reproduce offspring. Those who can truly enter the power center and grasp real power are the elites selected from the family.

"Hay!"

When Yagyu asked him to raise his head, Ichiro Watanabe knew that he had entered the eyes of Master Yagyu, and he almost jumped up with excitement.

Although as the first witness to the Crow Tengu, Ichiro Watanabe knew that he should be promoted to a noble rank, but as long as this matter is not confirmed for a minute, there is still the possibility of changing his mind, right? "My subordinates boldly speculate that the reason why these extraordinary creatures have not been officially discovered so far is because they are rare in number, and because communication in the past was not as developed as it is now, and these extraordinary creatures may have extremely negative views on humans. Those with great malice will kill people once they are discovered, so they are kept hidden in the darkness."

"What you said does make some sense!"

Yagyu nodded alone. Watanabe Ichiro's analysis was the same as what he thought. The theory of monsters has been circulating for thousands of years. In the past, everyone regarded this kind of thing as a joke, but who would have thought that the joke was actually true?

"Furthermore, there should be a unique connection between these extraordinary creatures. The reason why the Crow Tengu appeared is because the Rift Girl violated the agreement between the monsters and could not reveal herself in front of humans, or she had to report all the witnesses. Silence! So it was probably planning to assassinate the witnesses, but it was inadvertently destroyed by its subordinates."

"Um? I went to kill him after a day. Is the monster's reaction speed so slow?"

"Sir, demons are certainly very mysterious and powerful, but the development speed of our human science and technology is so fast. The demons could never have imagined that the human world has been turned upside down in just a few decades. If the ancient standards and traffic conditions were followed, It’s been a day and the news hasn’t even spread yet!”

As a person directly involved in the fight with the Crow Tengu, Watanabe Ichiro naturally knows how helpless the human body is when facing that kind of monster. It can be said that if time were turned back hundreds of years, a Crow Tengu would be enough to face the daimyo's army. .

But come on!
In the face of modern thermal weapons, Crow Tengu is a scumbag!

The weapon he used was a police pistol, and whoever uses it knows how powerful it is.

The kind of thing that was disgusting to hit people was actually able to break through the Crow Tengu's defense. This not only greatly improved Ichiro Watanabe's confidence, but also gave reassurance to those in the cabinet.

Demons and monsters themselves are vulnerable groups. After all, if they are really powerful, why are humans occupying the majority of the world now?
Since demons were no match for humans in ancient times, those demons are even more unbearable now.

It has to be said that if demons are indeed monsters that have been passed down from ancient times to the present, then the ideas of these people cannot be considered wrong.

It's just!

Obviously everyone's information has some errors.

"So how should we find Crow Tengu now? Japan is so big, it is not easy to find a big flying bird!"

"According to all the legends, Tengu is a very vengeful monster. It was injured by me that night, so as long as I appear in a place where Tengu is likely to appear, I will definitely arouse its hatred and make it angry. It appears!"

As the saying goes, wealth is obtained through danger, and it is naturally very dangerous to use one's body as bait, but in order to soar into the sky, Watanabe Ichiro cannot care so much.

These days, even if you go to work on time, you may die from overwork at any time. Therefore, in order to make himself and his descendants a master, Ichiro Watanabe does not feel that there is anything inappropriate in taking risks.

To put it bluntly, there are so many people who want to work hard but still can’t find a way!
