"Mr. Kameda, the source of the mortar shells is not yet clear, and everything is just suspicion. Let's wait until your Metropolitan Police Department thoroughly investigates this matter. If you really need to mobilize our Self-Defense Force, you can apply to the Prime Minister yourself!"
As a career soldier, Ono could naturally tell from the scene traces that such dense and regular shell craters would require at least ten mortars firing simultaneously to cause.
Using a mortar battalion in the heart of Mount Fuji, besides the Japan government itself, Ono Saburo could only think of one influence - that group of G.I.s stationed on Okinawa Island.
However, no matter which influence it was, it was not something a Maritime Self-Defense Force Vice Admiral like him could provoke.
Seeing Ono Saburo shrink his head, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Commissioner General cast his gaze towards the Ministry of Defense Minister.
They were all old foxes. What Ono Saburo could see, most of the crowd present could also see.
As a semi-colonial country, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, when encountering cases of Federation G.I.s harassing, molesting, or even raping Japan women, would try their best to minimize major incidents and resolve minor ones.
Now, facing such a major incident with clear Federation Military characteristics, the Bureaucrats of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department naturally wanted to push it off as much as possible.
"Cough cough, let's watch the video first. This is the first-hand data brought back by our Metropolitan Police Department's Police Officer at the risk of his life!"
The Defense Minister coughed and pulled everyone's attention back to the video.
At this time, the video footage was constantly moving, and more details of the scene appeared in front of the crowd.
The fire in the Aokigahara (Sea of Trees) was still spreading outwards, but in the very center of the fire, the fire had subsided.
Burnt tree houses, charred corpses, this also let many high-ranking officials of the Metropolitan Police Department know for the first time that hidden within this suicide forest was a Secret Base they did not know about.
Of course, from the eyes of the Defense Minister, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Commissioner General, the Superintendent General, and the Deputy Director, the few true High-level Staff, they did not show any surprised look.
Clearly, for the true High-level Staff of the Metropolitan Police Department, the existence of The Hand was not a secret.

"It's getting foggy!"
Although the fire had been extinguished, the heat generated by the burning trees still lingered. This area was like a giant oven.
Takahashi hung upside down in mid-air, feeling only that his sweat had soaked through his protective suit and was pouring down towards his head. Sweat was even dripping from his full-face helmet.
Just as Takahashi was about to give up and wanted to change the communicator channel to call the helicopter pilot to leave.
An extremely yin cold aura swept over his body. The sweat that had made him wet all over instantly turned bone-chillingly cold.
Takahashi's dizzy head instantly felt like it had been doused with a bucket of ice water. He opened his eyes wide and looked around.
He didn't know when, but a white mist had enveloped the entire forest.
He looked around, and besides the white mist, he couldn't see anything clearly. *Clang clang clang...*
Takahashi looked around. Suddenly, accompanied by the sound of iron chains dragging on the ground, many figures appeared faintly in the white mist.
"Someone!"
Takahashi struggled to take out his police gun from the holster on his waist and, still hanging upside down, pointed it at the figures in the white mist.
The sound of the iron chains colliding got closer and closer, and Takahashi's hand holding the police gun couldn't help but tremble.
"Hiiiiii!"
The figures in the white mist appeared before Takahashi's eyes, and Takahashi's gaze instantly became dull...
A three-meter-tall black-robed figure ghost god dragging chains walked towards him from the white mist.
The white mist obscured the ghost god's face. Takahashi only saw that on the thick chains dragged by the ghost god, were tied spirits of the dead who had died extremely tragically.
These spirits of the dead were very unwillingly bound to the chains, stumbling as they were dragged forward by the ghost god.
Just as this ghost god walked in front of Takahashi and was about to collide with him, Takahashi let out a terrified scream and fainted directly.
But unexpectedly, the tall ghost god seemed to be just a light and shadow, passing directly through the hanging Takahashi, dragging a string of ferocious soul undead and disappearing into the mist.

"Who can tell me what this thing is? A mirage, or a night parade of a hundred demons!"
Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Conference Room One, more than a dozen high-ranking officials from the Japan police and military looked at the images transmitted from the real-time footage. The sound of iron chains rubbing seemed to still echo in their ears.
Even though the conference room was full of people, they still felt a chill involuntarily creeping up from behind them.
The Defense Minister looked at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Commissioner General sitting below him.
"It seems to be some kind of supernatural event!" the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Commissioner General said uncertainly.
"However, a professor from the University of Tokyo once analyzed the geology of the Aokigahara (Sea of Trees). There are a large number of magnetic stones in this forest. Perhaps these are all visual illusions caused by the magnetic stones."
Listening to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Commissioner General's ambiguous words, the Defense Minister cursed inwardly, calling it nonsense.
"Mr. Kameda, for ambiguous matters like this, the Metropolitan Police Department should temporarily not announce them to the public!"
"The fire in the Aokigahara (Sea of Trees) is still spreading. The urgent task now is to extinguish this fire. The reason for the incident will be investigated by the Metropolitan Police Department after the fire is extinguished. Mr. Ono, your Self-Defense Force should cooperate with the Metropolitan Police Department to do a good job of disaster relief!"
The Defense Minister changed the subject, directly shifting the focus of the entire meeting. The theme of the meeting also changed from pursuing the culprit to disaster relief.
