Chapter 57: Trapped
"Okay, done. ”
The noodles have already finished a sumptuous dinner, and they are even wrapped in plastic wrap.
Looking at the time, there were about two hours before dinner, but after all, it was autumn, and the sky was already slightly dark.
"Hitomi, get ready to go. As if talking to himself, Kamijo said, "Mr. Kamijo will go and say hello to Dr. Masaki one last time." ”
"Yes, Lord. ”
In a faint response, Kamijo walked to Zhenghui, who was already debugging the equipment.
。。。。。。
"Dr. Zhenghui. Shangjo greeted cautiously, for fear of disturbing Zhenghui, who was busy.
"Oh, Kamijo, what's the matter?" asked Masaki in a very fast voice, muttering as if he were muttering, his eyes still glancing at the instrument on his desk.
"I'm leaving, dinner is ready, and Crystal is taking care of you. Seeing Zhenghui's state, Shangjo could only say as briefly as possible. Then he couldn't help but add: "If the time is up, please come to the room and call her." ”
"Well, got it. After Zhenghui showed the mobile phone with the alarm clock set to Shangtiao, he directly continued to make the instrument.
I saw the alarm clock prompt and wrote down almost my words word by word. It is estimated that Zhenghui has no idea what he has recorded, and after scratching the hedgehog's head, Shangjo can only say goodbye with a wry smile, and then pick up his luggage.......
?
Uejo, who was about to leave, unexpectedly saw a pile of "sundries" left at the door.
“.…..” After thinking about it, Kamijo still put the fairy tale and Nanqi's doll in his luggage - although he was very sorry for Nanqi, Shangjo still instinctively didn't want the crystal to have a relationship with the "overly active" Nanqi. As for the remaining playing cards, silk scarves, small balls, fake flowers and other things, I can't take them with me, and I don't think it's necessary.
---------------- Dividing Line-------------------------
"Hmm......"
Scratching the hedgehog's head, Shangjo looked at the dim sunset and felt a little emotion inexplicably.
"I didn't expect to get lost in Kanto after traveling for so long...... and there was only one way. "Unfortunately. ”
"Lord, I'm so sorry. Hitomi, who was on one knee, appeared in front of Uejo.
"If you haven't even noticed Hitomi, that means ......" Kamijo sighed and said, "There might be some weird existence around here...... Or did I run into something inexplicable? ”
"Keep going, I hope you can go out before tomorrow, otherwise it will be troublesome to let Shui Jun wait longer." ”
"Yes, Lord. Hitomi was instructed to disappear again.
。。。。。。
Eventually, under the scorching sunset at the end, Kamijo finally discovered an existence that was out of step with the surrounding forest.
Temples, quite huge temples, and even surprisingly deep walls.
Even the air seemed to be filled with a sweet smell - Hitomi, who had a stronger sense of smell, didn't feel anything unusual, but Kamijo could smell it, and even more so, this sweet smell reminded Kamijo of rotten fruit.
Is it really a delusion?
Kamijo was puzzled, but at the corner he realized that this was where the gate was, and there were three guards at the door.
!
Kamijo quickly shrank behind the fence and quietly peeked at the guards.
It's just that what makes Kamijo feel strange is that the three people who are supposed to be guards are sitting lazily at the door, chatting about something. I couldn't hear what they were talking about, but I could tell from the way they talked that it might not be important.
Uejo's doubts deepened.
"Hitomi, how do you feel?" Uejo pointed to the tall wall behind him.
"I could feel a lot of people in there, all gathered together...... All far from the wall. Hitomi leaned against the wall and said, "If it's a subordinate person in terms of height......
"Okay. Seeing Hitomi's expression, Kamijo wittily stopped Hitomi from continuing. "But if you can, try to avoid contact with this place, and I don't know what's going on nearby, so let's investigate it again. ”
"Yes. ”
Hitomi responded, following Kamijo away from the temple.
……
"Hmm......"
I can feel that the area is not particularly large, but this is the fifth time I have seen this temple...... At this time, even Shangjo couldn't help but be a little discouraged.
On the other hand, as time passed, the sky also darkened almost completely.
"It seems that there is no way......" Kamijo, who had no gain, looked at the temple in front of him and said helplessly.
"Lord, this is a naturally occurring illusion-like environment that can disorient people. Hitomi said her analysis: "If it's daytime or if you can have enough height, you should be able to go out easily." ”
"So let's stay here tonight. As if joking, Kamijo pointed to the door—there was only one guard left, if the sleeping man could still perform his duties as a guard. "It's not a big place, so instead of being scared outside, you might as well go in and have a look. ”
"Yes. Hitomi answered and disappeared directly.
"Well, please. Kamijo said lightly, then cautiously stepped over the guards and thresholds and entered the temple.
Misfortune...... I didn't expect Mr. Uejo to take the initiative to find something sometimes, but it's so close to Hualan City...... Anyway, Shangjo is also a member of the alliance, so let's make sure if it will really make a difference.
。。。。。。
"Hmm......"
Although you can feel the "unusualness" of the temple inside from the outside, it is even more "weird" than Kamijo imagined when you actually enter it: it is not that the people inside have done anything horrific, but they are completely blind to Kamijo, an outsider. It's obviously inside the temple, but I can't see how many monks there are, and if I really want to describe it, I can't think of a more suitable word than "wandering bones". People and Pokémon who seem to be completely following their desires are scattered around the main hall of the temple, laughing, crying, sleeping soundly, feasting, beating each other, or ...... Copulation on the spot...... For a while, Shangjo couldn't tell which side was a human and which side was a beast
"......" Kamijo frowned and bypassed these people who were immersed in desire, each of them was very noisy, and the strange situation that inexplicably did not have any impact on others was finally the intention of making Kamijo resist and shoot directly.
"Anyway, let's go in first. Kamijo muttered as he looked at the wide open door of the temple in front of him, and walked in without hesitation.
In an instant, the hustle and bustle of the atmosphere accompanied by the heat wave and the aroma of food rushed towards the noodles.
?
Kamijo looked at the scene in front of him strangely, and it was completely different from the outside: the uniform clothing and shaved face were undoubtedly Buddhists, but at this moment, these monks were as lively and rough as the feast of a medieval movie. But even so, these unscrupulous monks who drank and ate meat were far more orderly than the outsiders - though still completely ignoring outsiders like Kamijo.
"How does it feel?"
!!
The sudden middle-aged male voice behind him made Kamijo's hair stand erect suddenly, and he wanted to jump away directly, but he endured it alive.
Didn't Hitomi notice that she was approached......
Thinking in his heart, he pretended to be calm and suppressed his heart. Kamijo slowly turned around and looked at the man who suddenly appeared behind him: he was obviously wearing the same clothes as the other monks present, but whether it was the clear eyes that were different from the others or the so-called temperament, Kamijo could conclude at a glance that the person in front of him was the leader here.
"I am indeed the leader here. But there's no need to be nervous, I'm just asking you how you feel. The man asked with a smile.
"Problem?" said Kamijo, recalling his previous feelings, "If you have to say it, it's a sense of disobedience." ”
!
It was only after he finished saying that he reacted that he couldn't help but act according to the other party's instructions! Even the other party seemed to be able to see through his own thoughts completely.
"Would you be disgusted?" the man asked.
"No, it won't. Kamijo replied with a frown.
"We are the name [Shingon Tachikawa Yongtenryu], a collateral branch of Esoteric Buddhism [Shingon Tachikawa Stream]. Unlike the Lord's house, we gain supernatural ......power from the "other side" by destroying our own realm through the desires of all living beings," and then the man explains the basic teachings on his own.
Although Kamijo was not interested at all, he was inexplicably unable to rise up the idea of interrupting.
"...... destroys the framework of being human, merges with the gods, and merges with the root principles of the universe to achieve enlightenment. This is the same as the Lord's house in the Wing Heaven Stream, and it is the state of ultimate liberation. ”
"So what does this have to do with Mr. Uejo?" seems to have finally obtained the right to move, and Uejo doesn't care about any gift packages, just wants to end the conversation as soon as possible.
"Mr. Uejo, don't you think you actually have the appearance of a master?" the man laughed.
"It's really not a happy thing to be said to have [enlightenment through sexuality]. Uejo smiled wryly, and even had the urge to reflect on the spot.
"As long as you promise, everything here can be handed over to you, Mr. Uejo. Even if your first order is to dismiss on the spot, it will be fine. The man said sincerely, and Kamijo could sense that he was telling the truth.
"You should know Mr. Uejo's choice. Kamijo said with a smile.
"Yes...... It's a pity, I originally wanted to say if it was perfunctory to me. But that's fine, only an existence like you, Mr. Uejo, can get there—the last step I'll never be able to take. ”
The tone of both sides became more and more respectful, but the atmosphere became more and more condensed.
"Although the coercion is not in accordance with the doctrine, but if it is for your Excellency......" The man suddenly laughed brightly, as if his face had not been so effective for decades, and his face was a little distorted: "'Some' sacrifice is also perfectly acceptable. ”
Uejo clearly saw that when the man said "a little", his eyes swept over the main hall...... Whether it's a person, Pokémon - at least 3/4 of their lives are included.
"I wish Mr. Uejo was the first to be forced. Kamijo laughed dryly, and his hand was already clasped around his waist.
"Rest assured, Your Excellency, your presence can only be unique. The man said, and the eyes of all the creatures present looked at Kamijo at the same time.
"Then Mr. Uejo ...... Rest assured!"
Boom!
Kamijo suddenly released a naughty bullet, and in the violent [flash], Hitomi also came behind Kamijo for the first time, and took Kamijo away from the man for the first time.
"Hitomi!" I saw clearly, obviously my eyes were stabbed red and tearful, but no one had even the slightest delay.
