The shrine maiden, who was sweeping the ground with a broom in the Taisha shrine, looked at the falling leaves in horror, and the sacred tree that quickly withered and aged made the shrine maiden's heart and liver tighten.

"Ito-sama, Ito-sama." Her long hair swayed slightly in a bundle of hair combed back her head, and her red and white shrine maiden costume was carried up by the wind as she ran.

"It's a big deal, it's a big deal!"

In just ten minutes, the Supernatural Hall, various experts, and cabinet representatives gathered outside the shrine, and in front of the sacred tree, Ito Mashi put on a posture and anxiously talked to the sacred tree.

However, the sacred tree, which was ubiquitous after the Battle of Yoyogi, fell into the desert of communication at this time, and did not reply to Ito Mayo's request for a long time.

Ito Masa's heart also sank into the abyss little by little, just when she became more and more uneasy.

A dazzling brilliance suddenly flashed in front of the sacred tree, the brilliance dispersed, and two groups of figures appeared.

Feminine body curves.

It's Tateishi Shino, Misa.

"Poof."

Misa's condition was very bad, blood was constantly flowing from her mouth, and the joints of her whole body were strangely twisted, as if she had been hit head-on by some high-speed and massive object.

Fortunately, he was physically strong and was not knocked to pieces on the spot.

And Tateishi Shino's mood looked very low, there were tears flashing in the corners of his eyes, his body was dusty, his body was not injured, but his spirit was traumatized.

"Hemostasis!"

didn't have time to think about what was going on, Ito Mashi hurriedly stepped forward to support Misa who was about to fall to the ground, the light of medical ninjutsu covered the wounds on Misa's body, and the blood that flowed out immediately stopped.

"Healing!"

Stopping the bleeding is only the first step in the emergency, and the next step is to heal the wound, Ito Mashi knows Misa's body very well, and it is not once or twice to help Mesha treat.

"Instigation."

Reaching out to catch a withered yellow leaf, looking back at the battered sacred tree, Tateishi Shino left tears like a lovelorn girl.

The investigator attendants who were guarding the periphery immediately surrounded him, and they were relieved to see that it was Tateishi Shino.

"Tateishi Shrine Maiden." The investigator from the Occult Department looked at Tateishi Shino solemnly, "Can you tell us what happened?" ”

Tateishi Shino withdrew his gaze from the shrunken sacred tree, his expression still showing panic and guilt that could not be dissipated.

What's going on?

It suddenly disappeared from Akita Prefecture, and now it has suddenly appeared in Tokyo City.

The heart of a high-ranking official of the Supernatural Agency has played a roller coaster ride in a short period of time, and if Misa and the others fail in the sand, a lucky bureaucrat will be thrown out at random to be a scapegoat.

"Okay, okay." Tateishishi's palm rested on his lower abdomen, where there was the mark of the Four Elephant Seals, and there was a hidden force like fetal movement.

"I've gained extraordinary power."

"But Lord Divine Tree has been hit hard......"

The experience that made the investigator dumbfounded came out of Tateishi Shino's mouth, but it was just the beginning, and the investigator immediately stopped Tateishi Shino: "Please wait a minute, the news in your mouth is too important, so don't say it here." ”

………………

Tonight's NHK ratings were exceptionally high, with many viewers clinging to their TV sets waiting for the upcoming evening news.

There is no news broadcast in the island country, but there is a similar TV program, "NHK News 7", which is broadcast at 7 p.m. and stopped at 7:30 p.m., because it is not a designated task of the state organization, male and female anchors do not have to wear serious formal clothes, but it is certainly not as style as in variety shows.

I saw that in the news studio, the female anchor said excitedly: "Incredible! ”

As a female anchor of a regular TV show, her words should not have such emotional expression.

But I don't know if she really couldn't suppress her emotions, or if it was the request from above, she clenched her fists and said: "According to the relevant officials of the headquarters of the Department of Occultism, at 11:23 this morning, an earthquake of magnitude 6.5 should have occurred in the coastal area of Tokyo Bay. ”

"However, the Yoyogi Sacred Tree relied on its divine power to forcibly suppress the earthquake at the bottom of the sea, and a tragic earthquake was eliminated, but because of this, the Yoyogi Sacred Tree suffered great damage, so it has partially shrunk and withered leaves today......"

While talking about the director's words, the camera on the screen shifted to the sea surface of Yoyogi Kamiki and Tokyo Bay, and I didn't forget to intersperse photos of the Great Kanto Earthquake a few hundred years ago.

The Great Kanto Earthquake was serious because it was an earthquake that occurred near the capital, and if it were an earthquake of the same magnitude in today's Tokyo area, no, even the Kanto area, the island nation would really collapse in an instant.

The broadcast time of the director is basically the same, and the various apps and portals of the island country also announce the great contribution of the sacred tree at the same time.

All over the Internet, all the media are in a unified tone and say good things about the sacred tree together.

The sacred tree, which stands silently between heaven and earth, silently withstood an earthquake against humans! A magnitude 6.5 earthquake would be devastating if it occurred within the city limits of Tokyo.

Earthquakes are the most primitive fear in the hearts of the people of the island nation, the common nightmare of other civilizations is the flood, and the primitive nightmare of the island nation is turned upside down.

Saved tens of thousands of lives and stopped a great economic recession, and the ancient protectors were no more than that.

That is to say, the Sacred Tree Shrine is not open to the public, otherwise the Sacred Tree Shrine will be surrounded by good men and women tonight.

Top-secret occult department personnel monitored community comments, and searches went viral, with most of the comments being positive and well-intentioned.

Although there are a few people who don't believe it, sneer at it, and feel that the government is deliberately hiding something, in the eyes of most people, it is just a sour people with the characteristics of an island country.

"Very good, there is no problem in terms of public opinion."

"Let them know that it was the Divine Tree that stopped the earthquake."

"The less you know, the happier you are."

"I also want to live like this, it's better to buy a lottery ticket and win a bet."

"Tomorrow's burden will fall on the FSA."

The capital market is the most ruthless thing, and the prosperity of the Divine Tree is precisely because of the Divine Tree itself.

If the supernatural agency's deceptive propaganda does not work, it will cause panic in the capital market, and the prosperity that has not been easy to appear will immediately decline, and even cause a major economic crisis.

Those who were able to participate in this project and know the true situation of Lord Shenshu at this time were the elites of the Occult Department, ordinary ordinary staff of the Occult Department, and the content of what the entire population knew was similar to that of Lord Shenshu who stopped an earthquake, but was traumatized himself.

Kobe, the residence of the Tateishi family.

In the sprawling annex, an elderly man sits on a bench with a century-old Western-style building behind him, lush mountains and rivers in front of him, and a family of servants from the Edo period standing beside him.

Like their Tateishi family, the money in their hands is enough to reach tens of billions of dollars, which is just his personal wealth, not the market value of the entire group consortium, and the secular status of money and wealth no longer matter to the old man Tateishi.

But looking at the leisurely landscape, he still couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, this is extraordinary, it was born too late." ”
