On Mt. Toei Fuji, the four seasons are like spring, and the grass grows and the warbler flies.

When the breeze blows, the snow-white petals fall from the cherry blossom trees like a drizzle of rain and tears, and sparkle in the light of the setting sun.

The cherry blossoms half-cover the building, the splendid cherry blossoms full of trees, picturesque, attracting colorful butterflies to wander, and the glow of the sunset makes this scene more solemn and gorgeous, adding a posture.

Huge cherry blossoms are planted in the crater, and the once largest active volcano in the world is no longer able to breathe out any flames.

The cherry blossom tree, which represents the god of "Kinoka-kai Yaki", completely blocks this active volcano, making Mt. Fuji a wonderland that is like spring all year round.

Amidst the colorful cherry blossoms, Asama Shrine is located here, and this already prosperous shrine has become even more prominent after the appearance of the goddess Hashimoto Maha Hishi.

The complex of buildings is endless, and in addition to the cherry blossoms on the entire Mt. Fuji, there are thousands of priests and witch women, and the daily flow of people is endless, so it can be said that it is the first attraction in Toei.

And the reason why Asama Shrine is so popular is that the scenery and architecture are only insignificant, and there are many places in the world with good scenery.

There is only one real reason for the popularity, and that is the goddess of Asama Shrine and the earthly representative of Kikasai Yahime, Hashimoto Mahisa.

Who wouldn't want to see this long-standing and beautiful female transcendent, and who wouldn't want to be blessed by the gods?

But... It is almost impossible for these tourists to see Hashimoto, as Asama Shrine is open to visitors only in the outer areas, and the core area where Hashimoto lives is off-limits.

In the vicinity, there is a 300-member Self-Defense Force guarding the safety of Asama Shrine to prevent any unknown people from chatting about His Royal Highness Hashimoto Mahisa.

After all, the current Hashimoto Mohisa can be said to be the national treasure of the entire Dongying, and there is no room for any loss.

As the sun shines down, Hashimoto Mohisa sits under the huge cherry blossom tree on the top of the mountain, his beautiful eyes are as bright as spring, looking at the cherry blossom capital not far away, with a complicated expression.

She hadn't been out for a long time, and since returning from Europe, she only went out to see her off when Peter left Toei, and for some time afterward, Hashimoto Mahisa had been studying her nerves at Asama Shrine to improve her abilities.

It's a pity that her ability is determined by God, and there is no half-percent room for growth, no matter how hard she tries, her strength will be limited to this and cannot be reversed.

"Under the crown of Mu Hua Ye Ji, is my strength really limited to this?"

Hashimoto Mohisa muttered to himself, with a faint taste of unwillingness in his voice, as if he was a little dissatisfied with the current situation, and wanted to make his strength go further.

Few people will become a saint and gentleman, not to mention that Hashimoto Mohisa is a teenage girl, and she has also tried to disguise herself as a goddess who does not eat fireworks in the world and has no quarrel with the world, but she has failed.

The eyes of the entire Dongying were focused on her, the hope of the country was focused on this, and huge pressure appeared on her shoulders, which also made her bear the huge pressure and torture that she should not have at this age.

"If the Wood Blossom is watching your believers, please give you the power of the believers! Under the crown of the Lord God of the Heavenly Palace, the crown of the god of Amaterasu Daini, under the crown of the Wood Blossom Ya Ji, you are now the hope of the entire Dongying!"

Hashimoto Mohisa muttered silently in his heart, and at the same time folded his hands, closed his eyes, and concentrated his whole body as much as possible, expecting to receive an answer from the crown of Kika Kaiya.

However, the truth is always cruel, and despite Hashimoto's efforts, he has not received any reply about the crown of Kibana Kaiyahime.

This sense of emptiness made Hashimoto feel a little frightened, and this feeling was as if... It's as if the wood blossom has never existed under the crown!

Perhaps, the crown of the wood flower blossom has never existed from beginning to end, and his ability is actually given by the crown of the Lord God of the Heavenly Palace?

"Impossible, how can it not exist under the crown of the wood blossom Yeji? impossible, impossible..."

Hashimoto shook his head vigorously, trying to put this absurd idea behind him as much as he could, and bowed under the cherry blossom tree in trepidation, while once again concentrating on receiving the news about the crown of the Kinoha Kaiyahime.

But once this idea is formed, it is difficult to shake off, and the more you want to forget it, the clearer you remember, and in this environment, Hashimoto Mojiu fell into a distressed situation, until an inexplicable and wonderful signal appeared in Sakura!

"Huh?"

Hashimoto was stunned for a long time, and muttered, "What is that, why can I perceive that signal?"

Before the words fell, one dense signal after another was born from Hashimoto Mohisa's mind, from the bustling Sakurakura to the unknown mountain village and countryside, there were such signals in every place, which made Hashimoto Mahisa a little overwhelmed.

"What the hell is going on?!"

Hashimoto felt that these signals exuded a strong killing intent, and there was no holiness at all, so she quickly stood up and walked towards the mountain gate, planning to go to Sakuradu in person to find a signal source and see what was going on.

It's just that this kind of signal is sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and sometimes it even disappears, which makes Hashimoto Mohisa fall into great passivity, but this also makes Hashimoto Mohisa even more curious, wanting to see what this signal source is.

"His Highness Mojiu!"

"His Highness Mojiu!"

The surrounding priests were shocked when they saw Hashimoto Mojiu coming barefoot, and hurriedly saluted, and the head of the elderly priests hurried after getting the news, and saw Hashimoto Mojiu looking in a hurry, frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Mojiu, what's the matter, why is it in such a hurry?"

He is the old priest who adopted Hashimoto Mohisa, the closest person to Hashimoto Mohisa, and the only person in Asama Shrine who dares to manage Hashimoto Mohisa.

"Lord Priest, I feel that Sakuradus has several signals carrying killing intent, and I suspect that the 'Destroyer' has appeared, and there may be some accidents, so I plan to go and decrypt it myself. Hashimoto glanced at the old priest and said softly.

"The Destroyer?"

The old priest raised his eyebrows: "Just inform the government, their self-defense forces will handle everything, we don't need to get involved, you are the agent of the Muhua Kaiye Ji crown, you can't show your head at will!"

"Lord Priest, you can't stop me, I have another identity, the only transcendent person in Dongying, and it is my responsibility to deal with transcendent events. ”

Hashimoto Mojiu stared at the old priest's old face, and after finishing word by word, two vines suddenly emerged from the surrounding soil, entangled the old priest's body, making the old priest unable to move: "Lord Priest, the vines will disperse in an hour, I will go first, you take care of your body." ”

With that, Hashimoto Mohisa's figure quickly disappeared from the Asama Shrine, leaving behind ordinary priests and shrine maidens in a daze.

The old priest hated that iron could not become steel, and he couldn't move because of the vines, so he could only scold: "Why don't you hurry up and notify the government and let them pay attention to protecting His Royal Highness Mojiu, if anything goes wrong with His Highness Mojiu, all the high-ranking officials of the government will have to apologize!"

"Yes!"

......

The sun sets and night falls.

Although the prosperous Sakurato capital experienced a terrible war, the streets of Sakuratsu were quickly restored and prosperous thanks to the appearance of gods and the Asama Shrine on Mt. Fuji.

At night, the cherry blossoms are brightly lit, neon lights are lit up on the streets and alleys, and there is an endless stream of people on the streets, so you can't tell that this is already night, as if it is still daytime, and the moment of crowding.

In a high-rise building in Dongying, Sosuke Kitahara, a product salesman, walked silently along the sidewalk, carrying two bags in his hands, looking a little lonely.

He used to be a wealthy man, going out to high-spending places, and the house here was also bought when he was rich.

However, because of an accident, all his money was wasted, and he could only find a job as a product salesman to barely make ends meet, although he lived in a high-end community, but it would not be long before he sold the house and rented a house in some remote places.

"Kitahara-kun, good evening! I didn't sell it. ”

At the entrance, Sosuke Kitahara accidentally bumped into his neighbor Masao Watanabe in the same unit, Masao Watanabe looked at Sosuke Kitahara in surprise, and the words blurted out inadvertently made Sosuke Kitahara slightly embarrassed.

However, now Sosuke Kitahara doesn't care about any face problems, so he can only smile and say: "Good evening, Watanabe-kun, business has been difficult recently, and the products can't be sold at all." ”

The two talked as they walked, and they had already walked into the unit building while talking.

Entering the elevator, Sosuke Kitahara casually pressed the button on the tenth floor, glanced at Masao Watanabe, and helped him press the button on the twelfth floor, causing Masao Watanabe to thank him for a while.

"Kitahara-kun, do you have any plans to change jobs? ”

In the elevator, it seemed that in order to ease the atmosphere, Masao Watanabe took the initiative to speak: "Our president has been recruiting assistants recently, and I heard that Kitahara-kun is a top student who graduated from Sakurado University majoring in economics and management, so there should be no problem in applying, right?"

"Is that so, then thank you Watanabe-kun. ”

Sosuke Kitahara was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed and thanked him, now that the position is tight, it is not easy to have a job with a good salary.

"Don't thank me, I..."

Before Watanabe Masao finished speaking, there was a sudden 'ding', and Sosuke Kitahara thought that the tenth floor had arrived, and was about to invite Watanabe Masao to his house to sit, but unexpectedly this was not the tenth floor, but the ninth floor.

"Huh?"

When the door opened, it was empty, and there was no one in it, as if nothing existed.

"Yaga, how did you do it, why did you stop on the ninth floor?!" Watanabe Masao couldn't help but complain, looking a little displeased.

Dongying people prefer odd numbers, but there is only one odd number that they are not interested in, and that is nine.

Dongying people do not have the reason why the hundred schools of thought of the sons of the Qin Dynasty in their respective doctrines, and there is no royal family to evolve the word "nine" into a symbol of the Son of Heaven, in Dongying, the status of nine is the same as the "four" of the Chinese people, and the "six" of the Westerners is general, one is because it is homophonic with the word "bitter" in the language, and the second is because the number nine is somewhat unlucky in the onmyoji, and it is a symbol of ghosts.

According to legend, the Dongying version of the nine-character mantra is a spell born to seal the nine ghosts.

Therefore, in the eyes of some Dongying people, the number 9 is not very auspicious, and Watanabe Masao is a more superstitious Dongying person, and he feels very uncomfortable with the elevator staying on the ninth floor.

"Kitahara-kun, did you press the wrong button, how could the elevator stop on the ninth floor. ”

Watanabe Masao complained, Kitahara Sosuke also thought that he had pressed the wrong button, and when he looked up, he saw that the ten and twelfth layers on the button were still shining, and Kitahara Sosuke didn't press the wrong button at all!

"Huh?!"

Sosuke Kitahara felt a little chill behind him, but he still squeezed out a smile and said stiffly: "The ninth-floor residents who are waiting for the elevator may have something to do." ”

After that, he hurriedly pressed the door closing button, and the elevator was about to continue to rise, but unexpectedly, in the button controller, the button on the ninth floor lit up again!

"What the hell are the residents on the ninth floor doing?!"

Watanabe Masao couldn't help it, and muttered: "Originally, I lived on an unsettling floor like the ninth floor, and I pressed the button over and over again, and the per capita quality of Dongying was reduced by this kind of person!"

When the elevator doors opened again, it was still empty, but this time it was a little different.

A figure stood alone in front of the door, without any words, just standing there motionless.

"What the hell are you doing, if you want to come up, hurry up!"

Seeing that this person was motionless, Watanabe Masao was a little annoyed, and he couldn't help but speak, and even planned to go up and fight.

And Sosuke Kitahara seemed to notice something, his face turned pale, and his whole body began to tremble violently.

The figure slowly raised its head, and the terrifying face gradually appeared in front of the two of them.

Its skin was already blackened, its entire head was skinny, its face was full of pain, its hideous face was terrifying, and its hollow eyes were staring at Sosuke Kitahara and Masao Watanabe.

"Cluck...."

A strange laugh came out of his throat, Watanabe Masao's face turned pale in an instant, and a liquid with a strong pungent smell flowed out of his lower body, and the whole person sat on the ground, shivering uncontrollably.

And Kitahara Sosuke is not much better, the two are trembling, and they are terrified.

Soon, the red light flashed, and the figure suddenly disappeared, and Sosuke Kitahara shouted, for fear that something would go wrong, and Watanabe Masao yelled one after another for a long time before he realized that there was no problem.

Sosuke Kitahara took a deep breath and was about to say something, when he suddenly felt his hair wet, and a terrifying thought appeared in his mind.

He stiffened his head and looked up, only to see the 'corpse' already with obvious dead spots staring intently at the two of them, baring its fangs.

"Ah——!!!h
