Banto Foundation Headquarters

Employees habitually work overtime, coffee machines can be seen everywhere, and the aroma wafts through the offices.

"Kumagaya's director has just arrived, and it's terrible that the police inspector has come with him, so is the situation so serious?" Outside an office, a two-meter-wide hallway, dark oak floors, and excellent sound insulation, several people were drinking coffee or tea.

"This Shinichi Yamada is really different, and one of the basic theories of data group theory is that whoever is often abnormal, he himself is not normal. Inaba was still reading a case file, and he didn't raise his head and said, "We, Yamada-san, have a lot of things going on around us." ”

Mitani held the cup, the coffee he had just brewed was too hot: "If there is an abnormality, it is not necessarily suspicious, maybe it is a Grim Reaper elementary school student? ”

Inaba closed the file and said, "If you want to tell me this, I personally think that if this Kudo Shinichi is arrested and imprisoned, the number of unnatural deaths in Tokyo will decrease by three digits at least a year." ”

"This is tyranny, Kudo Sanko has not committed a crime. ”

"Crimes are punished by law, and the so-called righteousness is not the key to suppressing innocent people like Kudo Shinichi?"

A few people were joking, but when they touched this pain point, they were still embarrassed, and at this moment, the phone rang inside, and everyone was not talking, looking around vigilantly.

Inside, Hisako Togawa stood up, arrived at the standing window, and looked at the streets of Tokyo below, and the rain crackled down and became one.

connected the mobile phone, and a female voice came, but it was not Bandong Sistere, but Chanel.

"Togawa-san, you must already know about the Atomic Demon incident. ”

"What I want to report to you is that I just felt the breath of the gods in Shinichi Yamada, which shows that Yamada-san's identity is not as simple as we thought before. ”

"Wild God?" Hearing this, Togawa Hisako groaned, and then hung up the phone, although he knew that Banto's intention not to call was useful, after thinking about it, he immediately dialed the phone: "Hey, Lady Hihime?"

"It's me, Togawa-san. ”

"Is what Chanesan said true? Can you tell me the details?"

"Togawa-san, out of my friendship with Yamada-san, I don't want to say more, but I can guarantee that Chana-san's perception is not wrong. ”

"It's not confirmed by Takamagahara, but it's not just a wild god. ”

"Okay, I see, I'm sorry for your trouble. ”

The rain crackled and fell, and Rinako drove the car out of Tokyo smoothly, arriving in Chiba Prefecture, near the Kangawa Shrine, and the rain gradually stopped.

The shrine has 600 stone nearby Zhiyuki, so it is the land of the shrine along the mountain, so I simply walked up, and the long stone steps are made of mountain stones, which is the approach, and the lanterns on both sides are lanterns, which were originally used to illuminate the people who worship, and were used to worship the gods, and now they have been restored to electric lights, but they are not fully open, and the steps are a little dark at this time.

Hayakawa Naomi was a little hesitant, and Tsuneko seemed to be unconscious, and the first one rushed into the torii with a smile and waved his hand: "Oni-chan, Naomi-chan, come on!"

Hearing the call of the son, Naomi came back to her senses and hurriedly responded: "It's here." ”

When Naomi entered the torii, she had a strange feeling in her body, as if a burst of electricity was passing through her body, and she felt a sense of rejection.

This wonderful experience amazed Naomi as she stood in front of the steps and hesitated.

"What's the matter, Naomi?" Pei Ziyun then asked, standing at the torii entrance, looking at the distracted Naomi.

"Yamada-kun, is there something here?" Naomi asked cautiously, she seemed to see a membrane, but she didn't know if it was an illusion, and as she broke in, the membrane was torn a little more and more dilapidated.

Pei Ziyun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Zhimei, did you see it?"

"Hmm!"

"Yes, there's an enchantment here, that's what you see. It's just that it has become dilapidated, it is estimated that the years are too long, and it has been broken into by many people!" Pei Ziyun replied casually, he didn't expect Naomi to realize so quickly after these few experiences, even surpassing Yanzi.

"Why is there an enchantment here, and who set it up?" asked Naomi.

"Actually, there is an enchantment around each shrine that is invisible to ordinary people, and the purpose is very simple, it is to protect the shrine. ”

"Although the shrine is a place to worship the gods, and the monsters dare not approach, but each shrine has been eroded over a long period of time, absorbing a lot of filth and darkness, which is a bad thing for both the shrine and the gods, and at this time, the enchantment plays a protective role, which can block the evil breath for the shrine and make the shrine run for a long time. Pei Ziyun patiently explained.

"As for who established the barrier—I think it's a combination of gods and humans, right?"

"I see!" Naomi asked again, "Is there a god guarding every shrine?"

"Not necessarily, in this world, there are many abandoned shrines, often because people no longer make offerings, and the gods are no longer there. ”

"Or maybe the gods are killed, and the shrine is deserted. ”

When Hayakawa Naomi heard this, she was a little gloomy, as if she had seen through Naomi's thoughts, Pei Ziyun said: "Naomi, you don't have to be sad, gods and people have their own responsibilities." ”

"Metabolism is also a part, although this is rare for immortal gods. ”

Pei Ziyun laughed, looking at the shrine, there is a god, there must be a temple, of course the shrine is also a part of the temple, no longer hesitate, just walked through, and then, Naomi opened her eyes wide and saw that the entire membrane was broken.

"The barrier is broken, why is the minister ostracized? Isn't he the heir of the shrine?"

Just thinking about it, suddenly saw a "boom", a flame appeared on Pei Ziyun's body, and this white flame quickly connected to the torii, and along the steps, the water house, Nazasho, Kagura Hall, worship hall, coin hall, Ema hang, Zuigaki, and the main hall quickly sank into the flames.

There was a faint scream in it, and if you looked closely, many faces struggled in it, and the torii gate was burned, followed by the collapse of the Te Suisha, Nazasho, Kaguraden, Worship Hall, Coin Hall, Ema Kakeke, Zuigaki, and Main Hall.

"Naomi-chan, come on!" Tsuneko jumped up the steps, she still likes the Kangawa Shrine, in Japan, whether it is a shrine or a temple, it can become a family business, in her consciousness, this is Ernie Chan's family business.

Not to mention, his father was also born here.

She has a homely feel.

At this time, he was very happy and said, "Although it is the duty of a samurai to fight against the enemy, he is also very tired, and now that he has arrived, he can finally sleep peacefully......

"Naomi, why don't you keep up? ”

This woke up Naomi Hayakawa, and she saw that the torii gate was fine, and at this time it was night, and there were few people on the approach, and it was very quiet, and Tsumiko didn't see anything, and she still waved her arms excitedly.

"What's the matter, Miss Naomi, what's wrong?" Rinako, who followed behind, asked with concern, this is one of the people in charge of herself, so don't be careless.

"I didn't ...... It's okay. ”

"Then let's go!" Rinako smiled softly and was about to move forward.

"That, that. Naomi suddenly stopped her.

"What's wrong?"

"Miss Rinako, you, did you see anything?"

"Huh?" Rinako's heart moved, and she asked, "Miss Naomi, what do you mean?"

"It's an enchantment...... Something like that. Before she was sure, Naomi didn't dare to let others know about the vision just now.

"Wow, Miss Naomi is amazing, now I can see the enchantment?, but unfortunately I don't have the ability of Yamada-kun or you, I'm just an ordinary person who can't see anything. Rinako replied with regret, her status, she knows many things, but she can't see it, she just can't see it.

"Oh, that's ......" Naomi lowered her head in thought, at this time Rinako's phone rang suddenly, and she turned to answer: "Hey, Lady Hihime." ”

"Rinako, how's Yamada-kun's condition?"

"Everything went well, I just brought Yamada-kun and two children to Kankawa Shrine. Rinako replied.

"Kangawa Shrine?" asked on the phone, a little surprised, she thought that Shinichi Yamada would go back to her home in Tokyo.

"Lady Hihime, yes!" Yamada-kun is the heir to the shrine, which is normal, right?

"Well, nothing strange happened, did you?"

"Yes, everything is fine with Yamada-kun, it's just that Naomi ......"

"What's wrong?"

"She can see the shrine's barrier now, and it seems that she has seen something else, which should be related to Yamada-kun!"

On the phone, Bandong was silent for a while: "I know, let me know as soon as something happens." ”

"Hey, got it!" After hanging up the phone, Rinako said to Naomi, "Let's go in!"

Walking up the approach, there is no discomfort, on the contrary, I feel that the air here is fresher and more transparent, Naomi looked back, looked at the vermilion torii, could it be that she was dazzled just now?

Puzzled, he continued on the approach.

The shrine is quiet, the building is quaint, and it gives people a sense of stability, and you can see that there are some small handicraft shops on both sides, but there are no people anymore.

And not far away, there were two witches with red umbrellas, red umbrellas and red mushrooms, eye-catching, they greeted them silently, bowed and led the way, looking particularly quiet.

"Yamada-kun......" Naomi plucked up her courage: "I just saw that the torii gate and other buildings were burned down by you, why is that?"

Pei Ziyun was secretly shocked in his heart, this was also seen?

"Naomi, have you heard of the replacement system?" Pei Ziyun did not answer directly, but just said seriously.

"Oh, I've heard that both the inner and outer shrines of Ise Jingu have two plots of land of the same size, and every 20 years the shrine hall is rebuilt and relocated according to the ancient law. Hayakawa Naomi immediately remembered that the reason for the relocation was not recorded in ancient Japanese books, but now it is generally believed that it was to maintain the purity and solemnity of the shrine hall.

"Although the shrine does not have the need to study Ise Jingu, it does not have the financial resources. ”

"But the shrine has been built for a long time, and there is a lot of filth, so I think it is necessary to purify it once, and destroy it for a better rebirth. ”

Pei Ziyun said, his eyes showed a golden light, and he looked at it.

I saw that in the ordinary life of the shrine, a palace has been burned down, and there is endless filth, and faintly, only one torii gate is gradually reborn, but it is only illusory, and outside, some filth and darkness, ready to move.

"Naomi, Tsuneko, tonight, you have to work overtime. ”

"Hi Ernie sauce, I won't let you down, even if it's over to me. Although he didn't know what was going on, he still nodded heavily and responded loudly.
