Chapter 164: Historical Nihilism
Tokyo Stock Exchange.
Huge electronic screens, securities practitioners in suits and leather shoes, the invisible economy is flowing.
It is one of the world's securities centers and the highland of the capitalist society in the last century.
Today, however
"What's going on"
"I'm sorry"
"We don't know exactly what happened"
One after another, the phone rang,
In just half an hour, the atmosphere in the stock exchange suddenly became tense.
All the numbers on the electronic screens of the stock exchange, representing stock indexes, suddenly turned green half an hour ago.
The line chart is like crossing a mountain peak, falling steeply to the bottom, and the market is rapidly plummeting at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Stock markets plummeted, bonds defaulted, foreign exchange chaos all happened without warning.
Tokyo's financial circle was suddenly hit by a silent and terrifying earthquake in just half an hour.
There is no building overturning, but it is still terrifying, and it is the flowing numbers that are collapsing.
Tokyo Shimbun.
"Party lawmaker was caught up in a sexual assault scandal after the photo was leaked by the gazette"
"Ministry of Health and Welfare officials have been prosecuted on suspicion of accepting bribes to engage in illegal activities"
"Mitsui Trust Bank's special manager is suspected of illegal financing and is currently under investigation"
Huge black ships break through the fog.
Sail into the harbor of Tokyo.
Voyage without the slightest slowdown.
From the sea, sailed ashore.
The black ship sailed on land, passing between houses and buildings, and sailed into Tokyo.
Huge black ships slowly drive through the streets of Tokyo, with news streaming on their mobile phones.
Shan Ruzod said to Hans Christian Andersen on the side:
"The impact of this stuff is much bigger than we thought at the beginning, and the political and business circles in Tokyo are now starting to be in chaos."
"It's like history repeating itself."
Hans Christian Andersen rubbed his cane.
The Mystic looked out over the huge black ship from afar.
A horror that is invisible to ordinary people in Tokyo.
Ordinary people can't see the black ship, but all they can know is the chaos caused by the black ship's impact on the original class, which is spreading in Tokyo.
160 years ago.
Tokyo was called Edo at that time.
In the midst of seclusion, the solidified shogunate samurai class held this corner of the land.
Until that day.
The black steel beast carried the torrent of the industrial age, surging from the west and attacking the east.
The black sails were raised, and civilization sailed in its most savage form, piercing into the hinterland of the old class.
Brought chaos, but also civilization.
It brought turmoil and broke the entrenched blockade.
It is known in history as the "Black Ship Incident".
"Half a month ago, Kanagawa's Black Boat Festival, since then, the gods have been moved, and such a long distance and such a long interval have been able to solidify until now."
Mt. Ruzod looks into the distance.
"It seems that the spirit boy is far more than just a slanderer."
Andersen nodded noncommittally.
"It doesn't seem easy on the newcomer's side."
"How do we stop it, the paradoxical conditioning of historical nihilism, is the most intractable mystery."
"Yes, history, the most intractable mysteries"
Andersen looked at the huge black ship passing by, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"They are real, they cannot be changed, and we cannot deny any of them.
They have really happened, and they will leave traces and imprints of real existence on every country and nation.
No one can deny history, no deception, no decipherment of mysteries"
Hans Christian Andersen rubbed his cane, and the "Emperor's New Clothes" in the cane was faintly glowing.
"No wonder that killing stone is just a disguise, this black ship is the killing move of the séance to really subvert Tokyo."
As he spoke, he saw two figures appear on the pier in Tokyo Bay.
The beast's ears trembled, revealing their sharp canine teeth.
"How much time does it take?"
Yamaruzod stood up and relaxed.
"For as long as I can, I'll try to embed some constraints into its logic."
Andersen rubbed his hand with his cane.
"It's going to be another mysterious courtroom"
"Although there have been a lot of auctions, the anchor accumulation is still very small, and the emperor's new clothes have passed through the mysterious court domesticated by the previous original owner, and the consumption is too serious."
Andersen shook his head.
"Just try some simple logical constraints."
"Tsk, I hope those people in the Cabinet Office are okay."
Yamaruzod smiled and spread his hands.
The claws of the dog god had already swooped forward.
The Black Gate, with the séance, officially clashed.
Edo Barrier.
On the cloth pattern saka, the gentle path, after here, is the gate of Yoshiwara Flower Street.
"Tidy up your clothes."
As he walked along the road, he began to carefully arrange his clothes and smooth out his folds.
He just reminded him and didn't explain why.
The people in the team didn't understand it, but in such a ghostly place, no one couldn't get along with themselves, and most of them listened to what the gods said to do.
The crowd walked while tidying up their clothes.
The little witch who was walking in the procession saw that the clothes on the back of the priest who were walking in front were wrinkled and not smoothed, and she stretched out her hand with a smile and said:
"Senior brother, your clothes are wrinkled behind your back"
"Bang"
The expression on the little witch's face froze, and a huge fear filled her pupils, and in the reflection of her pupils, a paper-thin human skin fell down
“”
"Shh
Grimm appeared from behind the little witch and reached out to cover her mouth.
Tears continued to well-up in the little witch's eyes, her face turned pale, and her whole body trembled.
A living person, who was still talking one second, and the next second, was suddenly pressed into a piece of paper in front of him.
The shock was so terrifying that it almost behad out of order, and Green covered her mouth so that she didn't let out a runaway scream.
"Keep walking, don't crumple your clothes."
Green whispered in the shrine maiden's ear, letting go of her hand.
The shrine maiden's eyes were full of tears of fear, and she almost choked up several times, but she endured it under the fear of death, and continued to walk, while tidying up her clothes.
A group of people fell silent as they walked through Kimonozaka.
Su Qi swallowed his saliva and turned his head slightly.
On the side of the cloth pattern, the huge ghost greets the guests with a smile, and a sledgehammer is held high in his hand, hammered down from time to time, and every fold is the plate of the hammer, neat and tidy.
"You saw it too."
Green's voice came.
Su Qi spread his hands and was noncommittal.
Cloth pattern saka.
Access to the entrance to Yoshiwara.
A place to tidy up your clothes and grooming.
Those who enter Jiyuan must be neat and tidy, otherwise there will be ghosts and gods to help you "neatly and neatly".
The team passed through Kimonzaka.
Lost a person.
The frightened little witch was crying, and Su Qi was also worried when he saw the person who was hammered into paper in an instant.
This time to exterminate the séance, even before the door of Yoshihara Flower Street entered, a secret person had already died.
