Chapter 11 The Weirdness Called Tomie?
As Kurosaki dismissed the meeting, the inspectors quickly packed up their things and walked out of the conference room.
Now, only Kurosaki and the police officer standing behind him were left in the entire conference room.
Kurosaki looked down at the report in his hand, sighed, and asked the police officer standing behind him without looking back, "Noguchi, do you believe that there are youkai in this world?"
Hearing this, Noguchi raised his eyebrows and pondered for a moment before replying, "Chief Kurosaki, I think there may really be youkai in this world. ”
"Oh, so why do you say?" Kurosaki asked again, still without looking back.
"Okay, Kurosaki Police Inspector......" Noguchi also knew that he would ask himself why, nodded and continued to answer, but as soon as he said a few words, he was interrupted by Kurosaki.
"There's no one else here, just call me captain!"
That's right, Kurosaki and Noguchi are teammates. At the beginning, they passed the police officer test and became patrols, and the two happened to be assigned to a team, and Kurosaki happened to be the captain of the team, so Noguchi often called Kurosaki the captain on weekdays.
Kurosaki had a smooth ride, and with several heroic performances, he succeeded in becoming a police inspector, and then he used his power to transfer Noguchi to his side.
"Yes, Captain. My thinking is this, just because we haven't seen a monster doesn't mean it doesn't exist. There are stories about yokai recorded in ancient books, and it may have been a long time ago that yokai really coexisted with people, and later on, for some reason, these yokai went into hiding. As time passed, people didn't believe in the existence of yokai. When Noguchi said this, he paused, and said with a somewhat strange expression: "However, this incident, could it be a warning from the youkai to us, telling us that there are still their youkai in this world, and humans are not at the top of the food chain?"
"Ahem, I'm talking too much. Noguchi saw Kurosaki suddenly stand up and immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Kurosaki turned around and stared at Noguchi with a frown for a long time before he slowly spoke, "Okay, this matter is over, you know what to do next!"
"Hey, then I'll contact the shrines now!"
Kurosaki sighed as he watched Noguchi quickly retreat.
Hey, yes, if the monster really came out, then the relative god would not come out? Is this world really a human being?
He shook his head, pulled out his cell phone and called his superior, the police chief.
......
In the afternoon of the next day, in a huge private room of a tea room, most of the priests, shrine maidens, and monks had already arrived.
The entire tea room was covered by the Metropolitan Police Department, except for the people in the private room, there was no one in the other rooms, and there were police guards outside the tea room to ensure security issues.
And this meeting, which gathered all the priesthood, was officially declared to be a Shinto exchange meeting.
After the last priest arrived, Kurosaki nodded at Noguchi.
The latter, on the other hand, immediately understood, bowed to the crowd, retreated out of the room, and closed the door.
"Ahem, everyone, since everyone is here, let's get started!" Kurosaki coughed and said.
"Before that, I would like you to sign a pledge. ”
After saying that, he picked up the guarantee that had been prepared on the side and distributed it to everyone present.
The guarantee is simple, it is a promise that you will not divulge what you see to others in any way, and the violator will go to jail along with those who know about it.
Everyone was a little puzzled: Isn't this an exchange meeting? They all glanced at each other, and finally bookmarked their names.
After receiving all the guarantees, Kurosaki nodded, and then said: "Next, let me introduce you to the personnel on our side, this is Mr. Yamazawa, the chief of police, and this is Miss Taguchi, the secretary to the president. ”
Inspector General of Police, Secretary to the President?
After listening to Kurosaki's introduction, everyone was stunned at first, and then frowned. They all realized that this meeting was not simply a single exchange meeting, how could there be two big names in an exchange meeting, the police inspector and the presidential secretary.
"Ahem, everyone, the main purpose of this meeting is to discuss a major matter, which can be said to affect the situation of the entire Dongying. As soon as these words came out, the scene fell silent instantly, and everyone stared at Kurosaki, trying to find a trace of joke on his face.
But Kurosaki was not in the mood to joke at all, he looked at the crowd seriously and slowly said, "I know that everyone doesn't believe it at all, but after watching the next video, I hope everyone can understand." ”
After saying that, the large screen on the wall began to play a video, titled Top Secret File 001, which was the one where Tomie appeared out of thin air and disappeared into thin air.
The video was relatively short, only 5 minutes long, but all the priests sitting there watched it, and their eyes widened. Some even raised their hands, wanting to ask questions.
"I know you don't believe it's true, but I have to say, it's true, this is the video we took from inside the police station, and we also checked with professionals, and this video doesn't have any traces of PS, which means it's a real video. This time, I invite you to come here to discuss this matter. ”
"What we know now is that the woman in this video is named Yukiko Tomie, everything else is unknown, and we don't even know if the name is true or not. We guess it's a youkai with the ability to shuttle at will and stop in the area. ”
"This time, I invite you to come and explore the origin of this monster and the solution. This monster has scared a person to death, and no one knows if she will continue to harm people. ”
Kurosaki looked at everyone, said with a serious expression, and bowed at the end.
After listening to this introduction, all the priests present looked constipated. They originally thought that this was just a very casual Shinto exchange meeting, but how did it suddenly turn into a seminar to talk about the past and the present, show their skills, and be ordered to catch demons?
As the priests, shrine maidens, and monks of various famous shrines or temples, they have never seen the gods they worship appear, let alone know the monster, plus they have to capture the monster!
If you want to be the most panicked of all the priesthood, it is still in the onmyoji. In the eyes of everyone, they have been excellent candidates for catching monsters throughout the ages. But they all know in their hearts that it is all Abe Harumi's ability, and now they definitely don't have that ability!
The scene was at a stalemate for several minutes, and when Kurosaki was a little disappointed, a slightly younger voice sounded.
"I seem to know what it is. ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately looked back as if they were grasping the last straw.
At the very end, a slightly young monk raised his hand and said, "It's just that this thing is not a monster, but a weird, a very strange weirdness." ”
Speaking of this, he pondered for a moment, then said with a smile: "I learned about this from a comic I read before becoming a monk. This strange name is Tomie, she is a woman, her figure and appearance are all the best, and there is a tear mole under her left eye, and that mole has a seductive effect, and anyone who sees her will be impressed by her beauty. ”
This is roughly the same description as the woman in the video. However, it is a comic after all, and it may not be true, so everyone can just listen to it as a story. ”
The young monk smiled and said no more.
After listening to it, everyone smiled slightly, this is all said to be the knowledge on the comics, it is estimated that it is fake, how can anyone ever see the weird and survive.
But Kurosaki seemed to have found a breakthrough, he raised his eyebrows, and continued to ask: "Can you be more careful, that one named Tomie, weird, what is the ability, what is the solution?"
The young monk frowned, lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said with some hesitation: "Eh, I remember that in the manga, it was said that this Tomie has the ability to regenerate, and can give birth to a new Tomie from the dead body, with the previous memories. ”
"Well, in the manga, it seems that Tomie was caught, cut into several pieces, sealed with cement, and thrown to different places. I'm sorry, I can't remember the specifics, but it's all about the comics, Mr. Officer, you won't believe it, will you?"
Kurosaki doesn't care about this, now that there is a breakthrough, it must be confirmed. Although it's a comic, it's not impossible to cut the body into parts and seal it with cement, which really prevents the body from regenerating, and throws them in different places, so even if you want to reassemble, it's probably impossible.
He nodded and looked at everyone again: "Everyone, from what you just said, is there anything else you want to say?"
There was still silence, and no one answered.
"Well, if you find anything, you must notify the police as soon as possible. Alright, that's the end of this meeting. We will take you to a hotel for a full meal, and please abide by the rules and do not divulge the contents of this meeting. Kurosaki looked slightly disappointed, nodded and quickly announced the end of the meeting.
Although this meeting failed to discuss Tomie's prototype, at least there is a direction to investigate, so as not to be discredited. Kurosaki was also very satisfied with this result, and at the same time confirmed one thing, that is, all the priesthood present did not have extraordinary power, but he still could not confirm whether there was a so-called god in this world.
