Chapter 181. Pearl Harbor
When she woke up, Ariko Asano found herself covered with a quilt.
"Teacher?"
The blanket on the couch has been folded into tofu blocks.
Qiao Qiao sat at the table, carefully taking care of his weapon.
"You're awake."
Qiao Qiao noticed the movement behind him and took a look.
"Hmm."
Asako Asano looked at her clothes.
It's a little messy because I like to sleep in a messy position, but I still wear it well.
It's okay, it's okay.
While Asako Asano was washing, Qiao Qiao also confirmed last night's follow-up report.
From the perspective of the police and the soul slayers, the monsters kidnap several people with spiritual powers, including Asako Asano and Cheng Ying, to complete the final step of the ritual in the villa.
But the arrows of the Ise Jingu one dissipated the weirdness of the entire Hawaiian Islands, and these monsters were naturally hit.
As a result, Qiao Qiao was able to easily enter the villa and rescue the hostages.
As for the human believers who Qiao Qiao saw that were brutally killed.
It does not appear in any of the reports.
According to Ariko Asano, there are no humans at all in the villa, only weirdness.
Although Qiao Qiao witnessed that scene, others didn't seem to be able to perceive it.
It seems that even the very existence of those guys has been completely erased.
This level of memetic manipulation ability is far beyond any weirdness Qiao Qiao has ever seen before.
The conversation with the cat has expanded Qiao Qiao's thinking a lot.
In particular, it says that it transforms its own existence to continue living in this world.
Of course, that doesn't mean being a cat.
Qiao Qiao guessed that this transformation may be some kind of conceptual transformation, some kind of irreversible change.
But what the specific answer is, Qiao Qiao doesn't know.
And the arrow that directly killed the big monster who tried to break free from the seal of the Ise Jingu made Qiao Qiao admire it even more.
It is worthy of being the god of Ise Jingu, the god of Amaterasu.
The method of removing the spirit is first-class, and it is non-polluting and has no side effects.
Indeed, if the weird appears in the sky, there is no way to remove the spirit well with his current means.
Not only is the range insufficient, but the yield is also insufficient.
Suppose it is possible to deploy a missile defense system with global monitoring.
Wherever there is a weirdness, it will automatically react and launch an intercontinental missile infused with spiritual power, and it will probably not be the same situation as last night.
However, this kind of system must be very expensive.
Qiao Qiao thought.
After all, even the arrows of the shrine maiden in Ise Jingu are not online around the clock, otherwise you only need to shoot an arrow at Wakuni every day, and the world will be peaceful.
Presumably, the start-up cost should be high.
"Good morning, you two, did you sleep okay last night?"
As soon as I came to the hall, I heard Boss Cheng's greeting.
"Well, thanks to you."
Qiao Qiao nodded in acknowledgment.
"Several guests have checked out this morning, and alas, it seems that more people are preparing to leave Hawaii in the next two days."
Boss Cheng sighed.
After all, there was a storm last night that the weather forecast didn't detect in advance, mixed with all kinds of gossip and rumors, people really didn't dare to stay in Hawaii.
"Mr. Qiao, are you also going to leave?"
"No, we're staying until the weekend as normal."
Qiao Qiao replied.
Rare reimbursement trip, how can you just give up.
Besides, with the arrow of the shrine maiden who passed by the Ise Jingu last night, there will be no more strange appearances in Hawaii in the short term.
It's the safest place in the world.
Well, if you ignore that cat.
Qiao Qiao saw that the cat who had been replaced as Tom was being shaken by Sakura's two front paws, and the scene of Tom's cat of the same name eating deflated was also shown on TV.
The three-flowered cat looked reluctant, but moved as Sakura wished.
It's hard to be a monster.
Leaving the hotel, Joebashi and Asako Asano continue their journey to Hawaii.
Their destination today is Pearl Harbor, as well as Waikiki Beach.
Pearl Harbor is located near Honolulu International Airport, and many people think of Hawaii as a vacation destination, but many people don't know that Pearl Harbor is located in the middle of this sunny sand.
"Wow, what kind of statue is this?"
Although many tourists chose to leave early due to last night's turmoil, there are still many who don't care at all.
Rather, due to the decision of some tourists, Hawaii's major attractions are less crowded and more suitable for tourism.
As soon as Ariko Asano entered the memorial park, she saw a huge sculpture with a strange shape.
"It's not a statue."
Qiao Qiao glanced at the gray thing.
"This is the anchor of the battleship Arizona, well, that white building, it should be a memorial."
Although Pearl Harbor is a military port, there is also a large area open to tourists.
Most of the battlefields during the Pacific War have now been turned into museums.
Unlike other Hawaii attractions, which are full of laughter, the tourists here are mostly serious and elderly.
Qiao Qiao didn't know if these people were witnesses to the war that year.
The USS Arizona Memorial is white and floats above the water, with a flagpole in the middle, which is said to be mounted directly on the main mast of the USS Arizona.
To get to the memorial, you also need to take a dinghy.
Today, there were relatively few people, and Qiao Qiao and Asano Ariko lined up for twenty minutes before entering the memorial.
The tourists were quiet, and the black-and-white photos recorded the cruelty of the war, and Ariko Asano became silent from the excitement at the beginning.
"Why do human beings always have to fight each other?"
Her expression was a little dazed.
Unconsciously, tears were shed.
Qiao Qiao was silent, and only handed a tissue to Asako Asano.
In addition to the USS Arizona Memorial, Pearl Harbor has a number of memorials dedicated to the war, such as the USS Bowfin Submarine Museum, which was converted from a submarine and offers an overview of the submarine's inner workings and even a close look at the torpedo tubes.
After a two-hour tour and a Hawaiian-style burger and fries, the two of them arrived at Pearl Harbor's most famous attraction.
USS Missouri.
Although there seems to be something wrong with Qiao Qiao, a Chinese man who took Asano Ariko and a Chinese person to visit the battleship Missouri at Pearl Harbor.
However, the two still took pictures, boarded the ship, and came to the deck.
"Is this a battleship from seventy years ago, and it doesn't look old at all."
Ariko Asano looked at the triple 406mm main gun and sighed.
"Of course, the USS Missouri is a battleship that was still in service until twenty years ago, and in addition to the three triple 406mm main guns, the rest of the armament has been completely modernized, and there are even Tomahawk cruise missile launch tubes."
Qiao Qiao took the tourist brochure and introduced it seriously.
"Hey, I really envy you."
Asano Ariko listened to Qiao Qiao's words, and suddenly said to the triple main gun.
Envy you?
Qiao Qiao tilted his head.
