Hogwarts Summoning Guide

"I have met with the Southern Dharma Master, and Zhejiang and Fujian can be recovered within three days."

Yan Nishuang sent a briefing from the team channel.

"The battle is fierce in the four northern provinces. Civilians have migrated south. The Celestial Master's Mansion is leading the recapture of lost territory." Zhao Yu also sent out a message, noting that there were no reports of huge casualties, indicating that the war was still under control.

He then gave a brief report on the battles in the southwest and other directions. The situation was not good, especially in South Asia, where the indigenous population was too large. If the Hastur Church spread its influence, 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 Ones elimination program was activated, the east would probably be destroyed as well.

"We must never activate the Silent Ones program in the East!" Bai Lin silently made up his mind.

While he was pondering, Bai Lin had already spotted the land to the east.

As if echoing the fate of being controlled by the minions of the ancient gods, the island nation's land was shrouded in thick clouds, revealing only a dark silhouette.

Bai Lin observed with eyes imbued with the power of order that those might not be dark clouds formed from water vapor, but rather the resentment of countless wronged souls.

In 2020, the total population of Tokyo and the three prefectures of Kanagawa, Chiba and Saitama reached more than 3500 million, which is equivalent to one-third of Japan's population living in Tokyo and its surrounding areas. This is an extremely densely populated area. Unlike the East, which has a vast strategic depth and can relocate people inland in the event of a disaster, Tokyoites are left with no way out when disaster strikes.

This is why many films and television shows set apocalyptic events in Tokyo; it is definitely the perfect stage for human catastrophe.

"This level of resentment..." Bai Lin couldn't help but gasp. He had experienced ultimate terror only once before, in the scene of the gates of the underworld wide open in the fragments of history; otherwise, he would have been terrified and almost run away. Coincidentally, the last time he saw such a horrific scene was also in Japan.

Bai Lin gritted his teeth, concealing his figure and aura even more carefully, silently approaching the island nation's land along the sea, and quietly landing.

In fact, the closest island to the East for Japan is Kyushu, which is the region where Nagasaki and Kagoshima are located. However, this time, Bai Lin did not choose to land in Kagoshima. Instead, he detoured several hundred kilometers north and landed in Ishikawa Prefecture, which is closer to Tokyo. As long as he flew east over the famous Mount Fuji, he could reach Tokyo. This was the route that Bai Lin carefully selected.

The Ship of Light's base in Kagoshima had been destroyed, so Hakurin couldn't pinpoint Fujiwara Eiko's location, but he had some deductions.

Fujiwara Eiko has a certain chance of becoming an ally of the Church of Hastur, but it is estimated that both sides know that the other has ill intentions and will never be of one mind. In that case, it will not make much difference to Bai Lin. He will not be able to fight alongside Fujiwara Eiko against the ancient gods. In the end, the three sides will be locked in a life-or-death struggle.

However, he was certain that Fujiwara Eko was safe in Japan and was not in a life-or-death situation awaiting rescue as she had claimed. Instead, she wanted to lure him to Japan and use the power of the ancient gods to obtain the Summoning Encyclopedia.

Thinking further, Fujiwara Eko would definitely do her best to place herself in the best ambush position, which would require an environment that would be most convenient for her to realize the "Shikigami Record". For this purpose, sacrificing the lives of 3500 million people in Tokyo would not pose any psychological or moral obstacle for Fujiwara Eko; on the contrary, it would excite her.

This is the deduction Bai Lin made based on abnormal psychology.

If you treat your enemy as a single person, the world would be at peace long ago. Bai Lin has long realized that there are many people in this world, and his mind is not that of a "person".

The dense population resulted in a thick, almost tangible cloud of resentment, providing the shikigami with a large amount of "military rations." There was no more suitable place than Tokyo.

Bai Lin believed he had completely concealed his presence. Combined with concealment spells and dim lighting, unless someone knew his route perfectly and used powerful reconnaissance spells to spot him at close range, he would never be exposed.

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

Bai Lin didn't land to investigate where everyone had gone; he remained silent, flying swiftly close to the ground.

Mount Fuji has lush vegetation. This active volcano is called a sacred mountain by the Japanese. As a scenic spot, Mount Fuji is indeed magnificent. However, the danger of erupting at any time has become a Damocles' sword hanging over the heads of the Japanese.

Bai Lin flew silently over the summit of Mount Fuji, and as it flew over Yamanashi Prefecture, it glanced back thoughtfully.

As soon as he flew into the Tokyo metropolitan area, a sudden feeling of unease welled up inside him.

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

He frowned and, like a wisp of black mist, disappeared into a small room on the roof of a nearby old building. Generally, such rooms on the roof are elevator machine rooms, and no one usually goes there.

Bai Lin's mind raced as he pondered what was wrong, feeling as if he had overlooked something.

His original plan was to secretly investigate Tokyo. With his reconnaissance skills, he could easily capture any shikigami that Fujiwara Eko sent out, and then follow the shikigami to find Fujiwara Eko.

But the feeling of being targeted from the very beginning is quite unpleasant.

As he was pondering, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Brother Bai, why go to all this trouble to come to Tokyo? Isn't it just to cause trouble for my sister? Why bother hiding like this?"

Bai Lin suddenly realized the problem: it was Edogawa Hiroyuki. This kid had been missing for half a year. Bai Lin had also used the Eastern intelligence network and Zero to search for him, but there were no useful clues. So it seemed that Edogawa Hiroyuki must have found Fujiwara Eko.

The reunion of siblings is not necessarily a happy story. It is also possible that Fujiwara Eko has completely controlled Edogawa Hiroyuki, and Edogawa Hiroyuki has some of the access to the Summoning Encyclopedia team members. Therefore, Fujiwara Eko was able to send a message to Bai Lin through the internal channel of the Summoning Encyclopedia.

"Brother Bai, you don't need to guess. I wasn't controlled by my sister using a soul-stealing spell or anything like that. It's just... a little different..." Edogawa Hiroyuki's voice was calm and indifferent, and it certainly didn't seem like he was being 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 could not be sure of his precise location either. If he answered, he might be completely locked in.

"Let me guess, Brother Bai must be trying to find my sister through shikigami or other clues, and then strike first..." Edogawa Hiroyuki said calmly.

This kid's reasoning ability is comparable to that of the super elementary school students in the comics that Bai Lin remembers, which makes Bai Lin feel very troubled.
