In addition to the spirit of the martial arts venue.

Asako Asano held the black box and sat obediently in the corner waiting.

There weren't many soul killers at the venue, so everyone went to Mt. Hiei to search.

Since you can see most of Mt. Hiei in a relatively comprehensive way, it has become a place for information exchange and the transit of soul exorcists.

Looking at the soul slayers coming and going, Ariko Asano felt a little uneasy, but there was nothing to do.

Call the Atsuta Jingu headquarters in Nagoya now and it will be at least an hour before reinforcements arrive, and Tokyo is even further away.

"The northeast area has been searched, and no signs of shrine maidens have been found."

"The southwest area has also been searched."

"The Five Mountains are about to start, and it may be even more chaotic at that time."

The reports of several exorcists did not bring much good news.

Ariko Asano picked up her phone and wanted to ask Qiao Qiao on the Line, but she finally put it down.

Don't disturb the teacher at this time.

As she thought about it, she saw several soul slayers come to the venue, and the leader of them was a middle-aged man in a suit with gray hair.

Ayatsuji walked straight, the president of the Kyoto Soul Killer Association, and behind him were the rest of the Kyoto Soul Killer Association.

"Don't be impatient, the shrine maidens of Riki Shrine are at least alive for now."

He spoke, and as he walked to the commentary desk that was used as a temporary command post, he glanced at Ariko Asano, who was holding a black box.

"According to the association's investigation, this incident is very likely to have been committed by an overseas religion that worships evil beliefs, and the relevant information has been uploaded to various work groups, so everyone should hurry up and take a look."

Overseas religions?

Asako Asano was a little confused.

Fortunately, as Shinki Shinki's deputy before, she also joined some groups related to the spirit and martial arts, and she finally got a piece of information.

This information is not long, and it is mainly about the important people of this overseas religion, past deeds, and the composition of the faith.

It can be seen that this religious belief is a god who claims to come from an alien planet, and in religious mythology, this god descended to the earth hundreds of thousands of years ago and slept here, and most of the religious activities are aimed at awakening this being.

Of course, in reality, the so-called awakening of the gods at the top of the religion is purely for the sake of enriching and has no practical effect.

At the end of last year, this religion was destroyed abroad for instigating murder and economic crimes, and the facts have also proved that their leader does not have any psychic powers, not even spiritual powers, as for the gods and the like, it is completely modified by him and other high-level people based on some and cobbled together movies, and those summoning rituals are naturally fake.

Now, of course, that leader was also being used.

After comparing the information left by the Kyoto Soul Killer Association, the soul killers found that there were indeed signs with special properties hidden in those mysterious statues and symbols.

And the summoning ritual, after some modifications, is also similar to the rituals left behind in some ancient texts.

Although the top of the religious hierarchy has basically been caught, there are also fish that have slipped through the net.

When all of this is connected, it is easy to explain.

That leader, in fact, is also the one who is being used.

Monsters disguise themselves as humans, infiltrate religions, subtly insert their own needs into their teachings, and use the idea of leaders to collect money, spread information, and gather humans to do things for them.

Very smart.

"But what are they going to awaken, is there really an alien god?"

Ariko Asano didn't understand.

"I don't know if it's from an alien planet, but we do have some notes left by Lord Qingming in our Qingming Shrine, he once traveled through mountains and rivers, communicated with youkai, and got a lot of history from the youkai."

On the side, Takashi Arai also finished reading the information.

"In the era before human beings appeared, there were indeed many unimaginable big monsters in this world, even if it was the Yaqi Orochi, it was already a very late type."

He played his true character as a god, and he said things well.

"At that time, even between youkai, there were wars, and the newborn youkai fought several wars with the ancient youkai, among them, there were some extremely powerful existences, which could not even be killed, and could only be sealed in some mysterious places."

"Historical changes, after the arrival of the human era, there are fewer and fewer monsters who know those places, and in the past, there have also been human city construction that led to the destruction of seals, and the remnants of the great monster's ideas affected humans, and even caused local wars."

"Later, the feng shui theory in Yin-Yang was derived, and it is not easy to say whether the land can bring good luck to people, but at least you can see if there is a big monster sealed here."

"If it's really an event planned by the youkai, then it should make sense for them to try to wake up the big youkai, so I'm afraid that the shrine maidens of Riki Shrine will be ......"

Takashi Arai's face was solemn.

When it comes to breaking seals, there is no doubt that it is always associated with sacrifices, sacrifices, etc.

And the shrine maidens who have spiritual powers and serve the gods are undoubtedly the best materials for sacrifice.

Asano Riko looked at Ayatsuji of the Kyoto Soul Removal Association with some concern, and at this time, a man in an onmyoji hunting suit hurriedly trotted over from outside and saluted Ayatsuji.

"Lord Ayatsuji, at festivals all over Kyoto, I found traces of a hundred ghosts walking at night."

“！”

When the crowd heard this word, they were shocked.

Hyakki Night Walking.

When the yin energy is at its highest, the remnants of the resentful spirits in the human world may be attracted and wander in the world, and this can easily lead to large-scale resentful spirits, so it is also called the night walk of the hundred ghosts.

Nowadays, the last day of Obon is at its most yin, and it is not impossible for someone to use some special means to cause Hyakki to travel at night, and it is for this reason that most of Kyoto's spiritual exorcists are scattered throughout the city.

The incident at Mt. Hiei, coupled with the Hyakki's nocturnal walk, coincided with the two events, and in addition to making the spirits in addition to being in a hurry with the enemy's back, it was also easy to think that this might be a conspiracy that had been planned for a long time.

"Hyakki Night Walking ......"

Asako Asano looked at the black box in her arms, and the worry between her eyebrows deepened a little.

......

Inside the room.

Buzz –

The drone in the sky flew by, and Qiao Qiao looked ahead.

On the altar, it was evident that there were five women with their eyes closed.

In the center.

There was a figure standing.

He was dressed in a loose robe, with blond hair and glasses, like a scholar.

The man held a torn book in his hand, and he had words in his mouth.

There was a low murmur in the air.

"In the eternal dwelling, I wait for you to dream."
