Chapter 4107 Changes
Osaka City today is very different from what it used to be.

As the first and so far only city to be extensively invaded by demons, Osaka is now basically uninhabited by ordinary people. Those who were able to evacuate successfully have been relocated to other cities, and Osaka has become a special zone.

Originally, Osaka was supposed to be a stronghold for demons to invade the human world because it had opened many passages to demons.

The Other Side had the same idea, so they established a base here that could be considered an outpost. The original intention was to use this place as the front line against the demons' attack.

However, the reality was clearly not what they imagined.

At that time, Linton's side directly entered the demon realm through this place, and before long, he had the entire demon realm under his control.

The powerful demon families, led by the three major families in the demon realm, have no intention of invading the human realm, nor do they dare to, because they have no idea about Linton's attitude.

However, Osaka Castle still has demons. They are some small demons without any families, scattered demons who do things like bandits in the demon world. They came to the human world through these passages and appeared in large numbers in Osaka Castle.

Thanks to that previous organization, there are now at least a dozen demon portals throughout Osaka. And a large number of low-level demons still roam the city.

Then a rather interesting situation arose. Because new Awakened Ones were constantly emerging in the human realm, and after these Awakened Ones awakened their abilities, they also wanted to improve and prove their worth.

So how do you improve? By striving to become stronger, of course! And besides cultivating spiritual power, isn't there an even better way? That is, real combat. Of course, I don't mean fighting other people. Aside from the sporadic appearances of those strange demons in other cities, another better option is Osaka City, which has already been invaded by demons.

Moreover, they discovered that these demons had considerable uses. Indeed, the corpses of these demons now seemed quite useful; for example, the demon claws and horns, among other hard materials, could be used to make props, and the hides of some demons could even be used to make equipment.

The actual production is still under development, but it's gradually starting to look promising. And the Department of Different Strategies is also taking the lead in these matters.

Yes, the opposing force originally planned to establish an outpost here, but now it seems that what they are building is not an outpost, but rather a special hunting area.

Of course, they also pushed forward with this plan, because it would help advance what they needed most right now: stability.

These newly awakened Awakened Ones are a real nuisance; after awakening their abilities, they've all become quite dangerous. So how can we channel their excess energy and create a positive environment? This monster hunting area becomes a good option.

Like fighting? Go to Osaka. Like making money? Go to Osaka. Like fame? Go to Osaka.

As mentioned before, many of the demon-slaying and exorcism livestreams on the internet are actually broadcast from Osaka. While other cities have also seen numerous reports of demons and strange occurrences, these are quite unpredictable. In large cities like Tokyo, the management by the anti-demonic forces is relatively strict, making it highly unlikely that a casual livestreamer would be able to secure a case.

But if you go to Osaka, you're guaranteed to encounter demons. And with these somewhat bizarre developments, Osaka today is clearly completely different from what it used to be.

The city was encased in walls, not primarily for defense against the outside, but to contain the demons and create a true hunting ground.

At the city's entrance was a base established by the opposing force, which has now become a small city.

Because many awakened individuals from all over the country have gathered here, logistical support naturally follows. Even without organization, some business owners will come on their own, such as innkeepers and restaurant owners. As a result, a large market has now been established, which is currently the largest trading center for special materials and special items in Japan.

Entering the hunting grounds in Osaka is not difficult; there are no particularly complicated application procedures. In fact, once registered, entry is generally straightforward. This is, after all, the policy of the Special Operations Department.

However, the situation in Osaka is currently quite chaotic. The Special Investigations Department completely ignores any incidents or crimes that occur within the city. This is the only officially recognized lawless area within the Special Investigations Department.

However, entry applications, which were usually easy to obtain, were all suspended today. Even the area around the entrance was under control, with a large number of official troops from the Otherworld Department present at the city entrance to maintain order, which puzzled the Awakened gathered at the gate.

"What on earth has happened? Has a monster uprising broken out in the city?"

"I don't know, we haven't received any news. Could it be that a powerful demon has come to the human world through the passage?" People speculated about what was going on.

However, they were clearly confused about what was going on. Because, out of their sight, a specially made vehicle had already brought several important guests to the Osaka branch of the Inter-Party Division.

That's right, the Other Team has another entrance into Osaka City, which is considered a dedicated passage for the Other Team. This place is now also the Other Team's recruit training ground, and it's the largest base outside of the Tokyo headquarters.

This was a special mission assigned by headquarters: to escort an important guest from the passageway next to Osaka Castle all the way to the Tokyo headquarters. Headquarters had also dispatched several teams in advance to help maintain order and ensure the mission proceeded smoothly.

Clearly, the Special Operations Department was taking this mission very seriously and had made thorough preparations. However, to their surprise, despite such comprehensive preparations, something still went wrong.

Inside a break room at the Osaka branch of the Special Operations Division, a man lay on the floor, his neck broken, completely lifeless. Beside him, his killer was changing into his clothes.

"Brother, is everything going smoothly on your end?" a voice asked from the communicator.

"Everything went well, how about you guys?"

"We've also successfully dealt with the random guard squads."
