Tokyo, Chiyoda District.
If Tokyo was the center of the Island nation, then Chiyoda District was the heart of the center. The Imperial Palace, the Diet, the Supreme Court, and a series of important economic and political highest-level stations were all here. The orders issued from Chiyoda District commanded the Island nation with a population of more than 100 million.
The economy, politics, and culture were all under the control here.
Among them, the central political hub was the National Assembly Hall. Unlike other great halls in the world that could accommodate thousands of people, the National Assembly Hall of the Island nation could only accommodate a few hundred people. In the hundred years since the building of the Assembly Hall, although the people sitting at the table had changed several times due to birth, old age, sickness, and death, in terms of bloodline, the past and the present were almost the same.
In order to ensure the safety during the Olympic Games, a closed-door meeting involving all the country's leading bureaucrats was held in the National Assembly Hall.
Of course, the so-called Olympic Games was just a cover.
None of the politicians and bureaucrats who came to the meeting believed that it was for the so-called Olympic Games.
Standing in the corner of the Assembly Hall, Frost Island took a few deep breaths to suppress her nervousness. But looking at the people sitting in the Assembly Hall, she couldn't help but feel nervous again.
All the cabinet members, the Speaker of the National Assembly, the Deputy Speaker, the forty-seven governors of the prefectures, prefectures, and prefectures, the chief of the police department, the vice minister, and the head of the local police headquarters … Even the royal family sent a relative of the Mikasa Miya family.
Linlin sat more than a hundred people, and each of them was a big shot who could shake a region with a stomp of their feet.
She couldn't bear it. Since the beginning of the records of her family, she had only been a flag samurai for a former feudal lord.
Minister Sidao made a solemn speech on the stage. When he announced that the Island nation really had a transcendent, the audience suddenly burst into a huge uproar.
Although they had heard the news from various channels, it was still difficult for them to accept it when they really heard Minister Sidao admit it.
When the noise in the venue quieted down, Minister Sidao continued, "Regarding the transcendent, it is only disclosed to the people in the meeting, and it is not yet open to all the people. The content of this meeting must not be leaked."
Although it was said not to be leaked, Minister Sidao knew very well that it was just an empty order.
A secret known by one person was a secret, but a secret known by two people was no longer a secret. It wouldn't be long before they revealed the existence of the Transcendent. However, the upper echelons wanted this process of gradual leakage. They wanted to first give the upper echelons a heads-up, and then see if the situation would be announced to all the citizens.
There were more than a thousand witnesses to the Motian District's Jixing Ku incident. This was another supernatural case similar to the Bone Girl incident in Adachi District. Faced with the protests in Motian District, which had already turned into a boiling pot of porridge, the Cabinet and the District Penitentiary had become blind. Anyway, the videos that were recorded were not clear, so they could say whatever they wanted.
However, whether or not to announce the existence of Transcendents to the general public was an urgent matter for the cabinet.
"After careful consideration, it has been decided to set up a set of supernatural early warning, support, response, and research departments in the central and local areas. Each police department will establish a new natural disaster response department …" These words should at least be announced by the ministers in the Cabinet or the head or deputy head of the police department. However, Minister Sidao happened to be the official in charge of supernatural affairs, and the upper echelons had already thought about whether or not to raise the status of the Ministry of Public Security. "As for the local Self-Defense Forces …"
"How should this money be paid?" Among the seats in the meeting, a prefectural governor asked in a deep voice, "Allocation from the Ministry of Finance?"
In the Island nation, prefectures were the largest level of local administrative units, on par with Ichido (Tokyo), Ichido (Hokkaido), and two prefectures (Kyoto, Osaka). Cities and prefectures were one level lower than prefectures.
Due to the post-war reforms of MIfang, the tendency of the Island nation to have a small government became more and more serious, and the local and central government were increasingly separated. As local politicians were usually controlled by hereditary families, this further accelerated the separation. This political heredity was not only reflected in the members of parliament, but also in the local areas.
In developed metropolises like Tokyo and Kyoto, hereditary politicians only accounted for twenty to thirty percent of the seats. In the relatively backward prefectures, the prefectural governor really became a stage for some local "aristocrats", with one side singing and another taking the stage.
Looking closely, you are not the descendant of a certain territory guardian from a few hundred years ago, you are the descendant of a feudal lord? Oh, what a coincidence, we even had a marriage alliance a few hundred years ago.
For example, in the politically strong prefectures of Gunma, the seats of councilors were basically monopolized by Nakasone, Obuchi, and Fukuda families. There were also some prefectures that foreigners could not understand the election propaganda, "My ancestor XX is the feudal lord of this prefecture, so you should elect me."
This indirect meaning was pointing at the faces of the voters and scolding, "You used to be the cattle and horses of my ancestors. Now, although the times have changed, our family is still your master."
And this incredible propaganda of "descendant of a celebrity" and "inheriting the will", the local voters were very convinced and voted for the descendants of their former masters.
After decades and hundreds of years of operation, the local had long become the exclusive land of the local rich families. Therefore, the news often saw local officials going against the cabinet. Therefore, when they heard that Tokyo was preparing to make a big move in the local area to form many departments with extraordinary countermeasures, some prefectural governors frowned.
The first thing they considered was where the money would come from.
"The Ministry of Finance and the local government will each bear half." Minister Sidao proposed a standard plan, "According to the local finance, form different levels of countermeasures forces …"
"No, our local finance is already very serious every year!"
"Reduce the manpower of the police department and form …"
"We can't reduce it." The police head at the meeting was anxious when he heard this. "We already don't have enough manpower. How can we maintain law and order if we reduce it!"
"I think it's better to reduce the civil servants of the functional departments."
They wouldn't be anxious until the fire was at their eyebrows. Even if they clearly confirmed the existence of extraordinary, the governors always felt that it was very far away from them. Compared to the vague and uncertain future, the immediate interests were more important.
Look, those legendary extraordinary events, didn't they all happen in Tokyo? They were still very far away from them.
Only the officials of the Kyoto government felt uncomfortable. Although the supernatural things happened in Tokyo, the Kyoto government was the capital of ghosts for thousands of years!
Shutendoji, the Night of One Hundred Ghosts …
If there really was a Night of One Hundred Ghosts, who could withstand it?
Minister Sidao calmly looked at the clamor of his colleagues. Everything was as expected. He nodded to the side and asked Seimei Shujima to go on stage.
Shiromai Kiyomi took cautious steps and bowed deeply after going up the stage.
The more than one hundred officials still had basic manners. When they saw Seimei Shujima go on stage, they knew that there was something important to announce. They all collected their emotions and looked at the stage.
For this closed-door meeting, the meeting hall was temporarily equipped with projectors and other equipment. After Seimei Shujima went on stage, a projection appeared in front of everyone in the meeting hall.
"Regarding the extraordinary events, my public security department has some information." Seimei Shujima didn't foolishly introduce herself and went straight to the point. "This is the information of the extraordinary who cooperated with us."
The projector clearly showed the information that Seimei Shujima said.
A woman with a mosaic on her face was standing in the middle of the screen, but one could still vaguely see the curves of her body.
The four walls in the video were white, and it looked like a strict laboratory. Under the contrast, the woman was very conspicuous.
In front of the woman were steel plates and a small car. Just as everyone held their breath, a bone suddenly pierced out of her body!
