The first explosion came from the center of the abandoned village.

A huge explosion erupted from a plasticine-like object stuck to the load-bearing walls of the building that used to be a center for residents.

One wall after another was blasted, and the weight of the entire building had nowhere to be found, and gradually lost its support and began to crumble.

At the same time, other buildings gradually exploded, and the whole village, as if it had been forcibly demolished, began to kick up dust.

"Full calibration, one-two, launch."

In the open space outside the village, the shrine maidens set up three improvised mortars, and Haruka Sasaki gave the order, and grenades shot out of the barrels.

In the night sky, three grenades hit three clearings in an abandoned village with a precise parabola.

Boom –

The blast ruffled the nearby woods and startled a flock of birds.

"Second round, one-two, launch."

Boom –

As the buildings collapsed due to explosives, the grenades further plowed the entire village as if it had been plowed all over again.

After a total of three rounds of shelling.

The shrine maidens of Shimogamo Shrine took out another long rod-shaped object.

Asano Ariko recognized that this was the single incendiary bomb that Qiao Qiao used to destroy the Yuki before.

Five shrine maidens, one for each person.

“...... Nishimoto-san, they don't seem to have the intention of stopping yet. ”

“...... Yes, it seems that the source of resentment has not been completely eliminated. ”

"I don't know where the last source of resentment is?"

"It's amazing that this level of destruction has already been done."

The two commentators spoke after a long time.

"Launch."

On the screen, Haruka Sasaki gave a command.

Five trailing dots of light descended to all corners of the abandoned village.

Just as he was about to hit the ground, the light exploded, covering the village in countless white shards.

The debris fell to the ground and began to burn violently, engulfing the entire area in an instant.

In the midst of the flames, something seemed to have been destroyed.

The last source of resentment is eliminated.

At this point, exactly twenty-five minutes after the removal began.

"What is the last source of resentment?"

Asano Riko was not only excited, but also more curious.

After all, according to Shinki Shinki's method of removing spirits, it is estimated that there is no way to verify where the source of the last resentment is.

"Speaking of which, why didn't Sister Maki and the others adopt this strategy of total destruction in the first place?"

It's obviously more efficient this way.

Asako Asano was also very curious.

"Well, first of all, there is a certain cost to washing the floor with artillery fire, and I do not recommend washing the floor directly with artillery fire in cases that are not necessary."

Hearing this, Qiao Qiao explained.

"Moreover, because this method is too simple and crude, it is easy for people to develop bad habits of killing spirits, so I have restricted the use of heavy firepower weapons by the real Xisan and others."

"Tell them to use it only when they can't think of anything else, and that, once they do, they do their best."

"Also."

Qiao Qiao glanced at Asako Asano.

"The last source of resentment is actually the structure of this village."

He used his phone to find a design of the village that he had left on the Internet, and then pointed to it briefly.

"The structure of this village has become a source of resentment through the arrangement of the organizers, just like some alleys and cities in urban legends, in fact, it is enough to simply destroy a few of the buildings, but to be on the safe side, completely destroying this abandoned village is also one of the options."

"Oh~"

Asako Asano nodded.

It turns out that there is still this kind of doorway here.

He deserves to be a teacher.

......

In the headquarters of the Kyoto Soul Eradicator Association, in a room.

Several people were gathered around a table, as if discussing something.

"Well, the time to remove the spirit is fast, it should be the fastest this time, I remember that the Yasaka Shrine seems to be twenty-eight minutes."

A middle-aged man wearing a blue and white Onmyoji hunting suit said.

"But this method of removing spirits is difficult for people to accept."

A man dressed as a priest shook his head and sighed.

"Indeed, the way the lower duck shrine removes spirits reminds me of a not-so-good existence."

A master in a monk's robe touched his white beard and seemed to have palpitations.

"Although the way to remove the spirit of the lower duck shrine is too rough, but after all, it is the goal of the martial arts, and I don't think it can be treated differently because of the different means."

"However, it is impossible to use this method to get rid of the spirit in actual combat, the degree of damage is far greater than that brought by the resentful spirit, and the profit is not much before the compensation."

"It's not impossible, there have been similar cases before, the entire village was bloodied by youkai and overrun by the resentful spirits they controlled, and they had to be completely destroyed."

"Wait, this must be more than seventy years ago, how can an entire village be bloodied now?"

"I don't think there's a problem with the way of removing spirits at the Shimogamo Shrine, at least within the scope of the rules of the Spirit-Removing Martial Arts, and the judging criteria can't be affected because they use firearms instead of bows, and our judging principles should still be based on speed and skill."

A gray-haired man in a suit knocked on the table and said.

It seemed that he was the highest in the crowd.

"Let's rate it then."

Seeing that no one had an opinion, he waved his hand.

Everyone present picked up the tablet that had been placed on the table before.

Well.

Yes, the Soul Killer is not a corrupt and conservative existence, and the introduction of advanced technology at the right time is also a part of the Soul Eliminator.

I heard that in Tokyo, in order to deal with the yokai who may use firearms, the Soul Remover Association has also equipped the Soul Remover Gate with helmets and body armor.

Kyoto is not yet so important, but it is common to use electronic devices in daily work.

At this time, in the conference room, everyone is anonymously scoring through the app on the tablet.

At the end, there will only be a summary and no individual ratings for each person, which is a fairly simple and fair system.

A moment later.

The man in the suit took a breath.

The app on the tablet shows the overall score of the Shimogamo Shrine in addition to the spirit of the martial arts.

90 points.

Although he didn't get a full score, in fact, in the previous Soul Removal Martial Arts, he was already a leader if he could get 80 points.

Due to the average score system, being able to get 90 points is enough to be written into the history of the Gion Festival to eliminate the spirit of martial arts.

"The next two shrines are...... Well, it looks like the first place in this year's spirit show martial arts should be the lower duck shrine. ”

The man in the suit glanced at the schedule of the Soul Removal Exercise, and the next two shrines were not particularly famous big shrines, and he also knew the spirit removal techniques of these two shrines.

"That's it, go publish the scores."
