Is it too unscrupulous, too arbitrary, and too impulsive to go directly to the base camp of the behind-the-scenes organization? Sitting on the speeding train, I pondered this question while absentmindedly watching the scenery fly out the window. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info seems to be that after I came to the outside world and encountered the trouble caused to me by outsiders, I often wandered in the contradiction between planning and active action, and the situation was not clear enough for me to judge whether my way was correct, so when I encountered emergencies and clues, I was often passively pushed forward by the situation.

This is the signal to wait for the Yin Yang Jade at this moment, if it weren't for the shape of the puppet being too weird for the behind-the-scenes organization, and the value in the eyes of outsiders is far from being comparable to antique items, in fact, it would be more appropriate to hand over the small things like the Penglai puppet to Fu Daogan and let him open the way for me, because the puppet has some very convenient small spells that I have accumulated over the years, such as perspective transfer and infrared or ultraviolet detection technology, Yin Yang Jade does not have such convenient conditions, I could only judge the location of the Yin-Yang Jade and the general environment around it through the signal spells that I hastily left behind.

Not...... If Fu Daogan were to trade ornate dolls with the behind-the-scenes organization, it would surely make the behind-the-scenes organization immediately wary that the Yin-Yang Jade at least looked more like a traditional Japanese antiquity.

The train was running along Tokyo's outer ring road, and after a period of galloping, I browsed the locations and characteristics of many areas, and compared the changes in the signal position of the Yin-Yang Jade, so I was sure that I would not lose it, so I put my mind at ease for the time being.

I took out the phone, hesitated for a while, found Masako's number, and pressed launch.

"Is it done?" I asked, and of course she knew what I was asking.

"I'm home, Uncle Nakamura has done all the formalities, thank you for your concern, Alice."

"Oh...... Don't rush to thank me, I have a special purpose. "Maybe because of my preoccupations, maybe because of the murderous intent I had when I first met, I was never able to face this strange female high school student who made a big mistake in the way of an ordinary friend, and I was still at a loss as to whether she had stepped into the ranks of cultivators and regarded an illusory me as a god was also a factor.

"I know, everything you do is for Ah Miao, I don't mind, and I'm happy."

"What about your nightmare, ah no, don't tell me, cultivation is your personal privacy."

"Okay, okay...... But, I don't think we should hide it from the gods. ”

"No, it's not all a matter of concealment, the gods won't be interested in you going to the toilet several times a day, everyone has little secrets that don't have to be mentioned to outsiders, and the same is true for some of the problems that practitioners encounter inside."

"Is that so......"

"Maybe...... I don't have a spiritual teacher to refer to, and only the true God can help me guide my practice. ”

"I'm so happy to meet you, it may be disrespectful, but I don't need any other gods."

Miss Kanako, who created this practice, will be sad...... I thought about it for a while, and then I got to the point, "Is Ken Nakamura and Miao's father by your side?" ”

"Uncle Nakamura is very busy, not to mention that he has to work hard for Ah Miao, complete the discharge procedures for me and send me home, and he left."

"So, you should have his phone number and send it to me."

"Did you find something?"

"Not yet, but I've met something interesting and want to ask him, and I'll tell you later tonight when I have time."

"Okay."

Saying goodbye to each other and hanging up the phone, a string of numbers was sent to the email after a while.

Dial the number in the mail, "Good morning, Miao's father, Minister Nakamura." ”

He seemed to hesitate for a long time to recall my voice, "It's you, Miss Alice, is there a problem?" ”

"That's right, I inquired about some information today, and I met some very interesting things."

"What?"

"Before that, I want to ask, as the police chief of Tokyo, do you have any statistics on various cult groups in the area?"

“…… Yes, in fact, we've been doing similar work all the time. ”

"Similar work?"

There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment, then he said, "Create a file." ”

"Archives about cult groups?"

"Yes."

"Why don't you just knock them out when you have time to do this work......," I complained dryly.

Minister Nakamura didn't say anything, and it seemed that there was something unspeakable.

"There shouldn't be any official resistance to dealing with those god-like babbling guys, right?" I said, "Religious causes have never been sacrosanct. ”

"It's hard to put into words," replied Miao's father, "and realistically, the difference between a legal or illegal religion is whether it is officially recognized or not, and the rest is almost the same." ”

"Huh?" I vaguely realized what Minister Nakamura meant, "What is the business model of religion and the base of the population?" ”

He also hummed and acknowledged, "Every group is made up of people, and once the group is so large that it is terrible, it is not a task that can be put on the agenda at will. ”

"Huh?"

"What society needs is stability, and if the harm of a certain group is not obvious enough, and cracking down on them leads to more serious mass incidents, no one wants to see the consequences."

What's more important is that the officials don't want to see it, I thought to myself, it will affect votes and promotions.

"You outsiders think too much, so you're negative everywhere."

The Minister sighed, "You're right," and then he remembered to ask me, "Miss Alice needs statistics on those groups?" ”

"I just happened to visit one of the many cult groups in Tokyo, and this one is a bit special and I'll talk to you about it later, and I want to know how many such groups there are in Tokyo."

"Oh, that's the business of the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department," he said, "and I happen to know a lot about it, but there are about 30 illegal sectarian groups registered in Tokyo, at least semi-permanently. ”

This number is a lot, not too much, in short, it is not beyond my expectations, "There are more than 30 people who have been registered by you, and they have not been discovered or paid attention to?" ”

"No more than fifty."

"Oh," I had a general impression, "on the other hand, how many formal and legal religious organizations are there?" ”

"The number of local shrines alone almost exceeds that of illegal groups, and then includes Christian churches, temples, mosques, and other legal small religious groups, and there are countless legal groups, and the specific data must be checked by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology."

Judging from the rough statistics revealed by Ken Nakamura, the religious industry in the outside world is still developing - whether legal or illegal, but Miss Kanako has almost no serious followers, which is an extremely strange situation.

"Closer to home, I wonder if there have been any mysterious cases in the illegal group?" I then asked.

"There have always been many confusing cases, but it is impossible to determine who the perpetrators or groups are."

"I heard that a few years ago, there was a case of extermination in Chiyoda Ward, and it was an ancient family that had declined."

Presumably recalling, it took him quite some time before he replied, "There was such a thing, and then a sect claimed responsibility for it. ”

"The sermon I just visited should be the same house," I told him, "and personally, I believe that the order is not the real culprit." ”

"Your vision is more unique than that of us ordinary people," he said something that I don't know whether it was positive or negative, "I participated in the investigation of the murder case back then, professionally speaking, there are no clues available, even if the video materials claiming responsibility are released later, it is difficult to find out who is behind the scenes only through a figure wrapped in clothes, and then many criminal and public security cases have occurred one after another, and the police force has to gradually seal the murder case." ”

"It seems that you really don't have any clues, and in other people's introductions, I think that violent agencies can do anything."

"The violent apparatus that concentrates its forces is almost omnipotent, but in reality it is impossible to pour all its forces into a single case."
