For the first time, Qiao Qiao did not reach out to touch it.

"Attention, everyone."

He screamed, reminding the rest not to act rashly.

"I've noticed something unusual here."

After explaining, he immediately took out tweezers and a transparent evidence bag from the tool pocket of the school bag.

If scales or something are fairly common, they may have been left by small animals nearby.

Then the scales that Qiao Qiao saw in front of him were completely beyond common sense.

The scales appear crystal transparent in the sunlight, and if you look closely, you can also see the refraction of rainbow light brought by the rich layers.

Most of all, the scales are a bit big.

After visual inspection, the scales were about the same size as Qiao Qiao's student ID, and from the perspective of a reptile, it was really hard to imagine the size of the body.

There shouldn't be any creatures like Komodo dragons in Wakuni, right?

What's more, from this scale, Qiao Qiao can feel a special breath.

This breath is somewhat familiar.

It's not a soul slayer, it's more like a monster, but it's not the same.

Qiao Qiao picked up the scales with tweezers and carefully put them in the evidence bag and sealed them.

By the time the people from the Onmyokai and the Fire Department came over to clean up the aftermath, Qiao Qiao and the others had already returned to Atsuta Shrine first.

The afternoon mission was also put on hold due to exceptional circumstances.

In the evening, Qiao Qiao and the others came to the side hall.

Asagami Ren Saburo presided over the search here, and when he saw Qiao Qiao and the others, he nodded.

"You've done a great job."

Even to the juniors, Asakami Ren Saburo maintained enough politeness.

Qiao Qiao took out the evidence bag.

The scales inside were placed on the table.

As soon as he saw this scale, Ren Saburo's expression was a little shaken.

"It's ...... Snake scales. ”

Hearing his words, a look of surprise immediately flashed across the faces of several older priests.

"Snakes?"

Although Qiao Qiao was not one of those famous soul slayers, because he was the discoverer, he was also able to watch from the front row.

When he heard the snake scales, Qiao Qiao suddenly had a lot of associations.

Speaking of snakes and monsters, the most famous of Kazukuni is the Yaki Snake.

And the Baqi Snake is undoubtedly closely related to the Tiancong Cloud Sword.

On the missing knot of the Heavenly Cloud Sword of this Atsuta Shrine, traces of snake-like monsters appeared again.

It's really hard to think about.

"The scales of snake monsters mostly have a certain spiritual power, and in many legends, snake scales are used as treasures or things that attract calamity, and now it is difficult to find this thing."

Yutokui Masato acted as an enthusiastic commentator again.

"Could it be that the snake demon stole the Heavenly Cloud Sword?"

Someone questioned.

"Impossible, when the shrine's society protection enchantment is to be watched, let alone stealing the divine sword, as long as those monsters step into the divine palace for half a step, they will be immediately evaporated, where did it steal the divine sword."

Someone immediately retorted.

"Could it be an insider......

"Shut up, steal the sword, and cooperate with the monsters, what is he trying to do, is the food in the shrine not delicious, or is the monster too beautiful?"

There are also speculations that have been refuted before they have been finished.

There was a lot of discussion, but there was no conclusion.

However, at least Asashimi Ren Saburo believes that the loss of the Tiancong Cloud Sword has a lot to do with the snake demon.

They were going to send someone to the Removal Spirit Master Association's office in the Youkai Office overnight to check the situation and call up the recent movements of all the snake demons on the register.

Yes, there are not many snake demons after all.

This year, snakes of a certain age have been caught and soaked in wine.

The rest are basically under the control of the association, and be a good law-abiding citizen.

After arranging tomorrow's work, everyone will disperse.

Qiao Qiao soaked in the hot springs and returned to his room to continue assembling the model of the Yamato.

One thing to say, after being proficient, the speed of Qiaoqiao assembly is much faster.

With the blessing of spiritual power, whether it is cutting parts, assembling or pasting, all of them are formed at one time, and they are flawless.

It can be called a human version of God's hand.

Qiaoqiao also injected some spiritual power into the Yamato model, which can prevent the plastic from embrittlement, discoloration, and dust accumulation.

At critical moments, you can also pick it up and smash a few resentful spirits to death.

Very good.

In addition, while assembling the model, Qiao Qiao was also thinking about the events of the day.

Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem appropriate to carry a grenade with you.

It will be found by metal detectors or police dogs, which is a bit troublesome to explain.

But if the plastic [beep-] medicine is sealed, it is not a big problem, and the safety is good, in case you are accidentally in distress in the mountains, it can also be ignited as a heat source, Qiao Qiao will carry it with him now.

He was wondering if there was a way to use plastic [beep-] medicine to strike at the weirdness on the other side through one wall.

Although this is the premise of the game, Qiao Qiao thinks it is very realistic.

Let's take note of it.

In the middle of the night, eleven o'clock.

Qiao Qiao had just finished assembling the Yamato model and was about to learn to relax.

Knock Knock Knock –

A knock on the door interrupted him.

Qiao Qiao glanced at it, it was Asano Ariko.

She was still wearing the yukata decorated with pear blossoms, and her hair was coiled up, and she seemed to look more mature.

"It's so late, what's the matter?"

Qiao Qiao frowned slightly.

Today's Asano Pear is indeed a little different from usual.

To be precise, during this period of time, she had some things that made Qiao Qiao feel disobedient.

But when I think about it, I can't say it.

"Hey, didn't you say it before, I want the teacher to teach me how to build a model."

Asako Asano puffed out her cheeks and shook her phone.

Qiao Qiao then remembered that he hadn't looked at his phone all the time, and there were several messages in it, including the information that Asako Asano said that she was going to study at night.

However, at eleven o'clock in the evening, the lonely man and widow were building models in the room.

The rhythm seems a little wrong.

And......

"I'm done."

Qiao Qiao pointed to the table, which was the last glory of the once giant ship cannon, the Yamato-class Ichiban ship, the Yamato.

"Wow."

Asako Asano immediately popped up with starry eyes.

I came to the front of the model, wanted to get closer, but I was worried about what parts I would touch, so I looked closely.

"It looks so pretty."

She sighed, and her eyes fell on the 460 triple gun.

"I didn't expect weapons to look so good."

"But no matter how beautiful a weapon is, it's just a weapon after all."

Qiao Qiao left the door open to prevent any surprises.

"A lot of people try to make weapons beautiful, they add decorations, they inscribe patterns, they carve them, as if by doing so, the weapon becomes a work of art, and the act of using the weapon represents justice."

"Are weapons just weapons after all......

His words made Asano Ariko look a little troubled.

"I see, Teacher, I'm just interested in these things."

She glanced at the model of the Yamato again before returning to the door.

"The speed of the teacher's model is so fast that I don't know when the model will be finished."

"There's always a day to put together."

Qiao Qiao replied.

After seeing Ariko Asano return to her room, Qiao Qiao continued to study for a while and went to bed.

However, this sleep was not good.

Four o'clock in the middle of the night.

A phone rang.

But a few seconds before that, Qiao Qiao had already woken up.

He answered the phone, and it was Masato Kotokui.

"It seems that I have found the traces of the Tiancong Cloud Sword, and sure enough, there is something wrong with the snake demon, look at the west."

When Qiao Qiao heard this, he came to the window.

The probe went out and looked west.

In the spiritual vision, a dazzling pillar of light rose in the mountains and forests to the west.
