August 15th, afternoon.

"Drink this congratulatory ......"

An SUV is driving outside the city of Kyoto, and a toast song is played on the car.

Although the singing has an old-fashioned atmosphere of the times, it still has a different feeling when the sky is near dusk, and the lyrics are cheerful, which can barely relax the heartstrings of the anxious passengers.

However, combined with the traffic jammed on the outskirts of Kyoto, the escape scene that actually took place in the real world was brought out by the song full of Showa atmosphere to bring out the special style of Ultraman, and a leather monster suddenly appeared on the horizon.

The crazy migration of Kyoto that began yesterday morning has not ended until now, after all, it is a million people, and there are also areas such as Nagaokakyo next to it, which will be transferred in two days, and from yesterday onwards, all kinds of outward transportation will not be able to buy even half a ticket.

The worst thing is that both the traffic passing through and leaving Kyoto has stopped operating today, and the same is true for rail transit and automobile passenger transportation.

The excuses given by the trading company are also varied, such as line inspections, equipment updates, and track changes, but anyway, the official has not yet been characterized as a real Hyakki Night Walk, so there is no company that will use Hyakki Night Walk as a reason for not being interested.

Those who were still stuck in the road could only watch in despair as the sky approached dusk, and dusk slowly approached night.

The government of the island country still did not explicitly say that Kyoto was traveling at night, but all kinds of signs have already shown that the government is just hiding its ears and pretending not to know, hoping to drive all the residents of Kyoto to other places.

"It doesn't matter." The young man who drove the car patted his wife's palm, "Our side is already on the periphery of Kyoto, thousands of years ago, Kyoto was only a few hundred years ago, and there were more than a dozen or hundreds of thousands of people, and now Kyoto has expanded several times, with a population of more than one million, and the place where the night walk of a hundred ghosts took place is not here at all." ”

"Uh-huh."

After analyzing it from the perspective of urban development, the man's own mind has also settled down.

However, this area is actually Nagaokakyo, the capital of the Yamato Imperial Court earlier than Kyoto.

Outside the ring road was an open flat field, except for the tenacious weeds, only a few green old trees, and a burst of white smoke suddenly rose from the ground.

Under the twilight sky, everything was quiet on the side of the road, but the man's hand holding the steering wheel suddenly exerted force, so hard that the knuckles of his fingers made a clicking sound, and it seemed that the finger bones would break off and disconnect in the next second.

"That's ......"

"Da-da-da-da."

His upper and lower teeth trembled, and he forcibly shifted his gaze to the front of the car, pretending not to see anything, nothing.

"Kaede ......" his girlfriend screamed and grabbed her boyfriend's shoulder, eager to stuff the whole person into her boyfriend's arms.

"Didn't see, didn't see, we didn't see anything."

It's a pity that self-deception is useless, there are bursts of exclamations from the cars blocking the road, and many people even run and climb to open the car door and roll out.

…………

Kyoto's most prosperous city center is deserted, and the Nakakyo Ward, an old town that dates back to the Heiankyo period, is the center of the city today.

But now Zhongjing is an ordinary person, that is, the officials left by the government and the headquarters of the Self-Defense Forces have temporarily moved to the outskirts of the city.

Everyone knew that by the time the night march began, this area would be an absolute target, and placing the headquarters here would simply add to the difficulty of the mission.

"The evacuation of the population in Kyoto City is basically complete, and only 10 percent of the residents in the core area are confirmed, and about 5 to 20 percent are scattered in other areas, and there are currently 20,000 to 30,000 private vehicles congested on the outer roads of the city."

"Anyone else in the core? These shrewd and stubborn guys. Nagai shook his head, not knowing what to make of the people who remained in Kyoto, "Since they want to stay here, they will bear the consequences." ”

For most countries, the government has a responsibility to look out for the lives of its citizens, but there is no need to be like a nanny who follows behind and serves everything.

"6:42 ......"

It's the middle of summer, but if there is a little drowsiness on the horizon, it won't be long before the whole city is plunged into a thick black.

"When you are a demon, is it the time of the devil?" Although Takashi Nagai is an optimist, he still sweats unconsciously when he mentions sealing demons.

Legend has it that the twilight dawn before the arrival of darkness is the time when ghosts and spirits are most likely to haunt, and it is also the time when humans and ghosts can appear at the same time.

On today's special day and place, the legend of the time of the devil is 100% confident.

I just hope this legend is fake, no, it's better that even the night walk of the hundred ghosts is fake.

How many eyes are on Kyoto in the world right now?

I'm afraid that no one can count the exact number, and even ordinary people in other countries who did not know the legend of Kyoto's Hyakki Night Walk in the past know about it under the propaganda of the domestic media.

Unfortunately, it cannot be converted into tourism revenue, and the travel ban on the part of Congress has not yet been lifted.

The official newspapers will not talk nonsense, but the editor of the website and the self-media are how to be thriller.

The tabloids didn't even know the news that Kyoto was evacuating people, and one by one they opened their mouths to conclude that Kyoto was going to kill and injure hundreds of thousands of people this time!

"Hmph." Nagai Takashi snorted coldly, the meaning above is very clear, don't fire until you have to.

Unlike the ghosts in the basement tonight, the monsters in a mess can't be killed even if they are killed, and the population in the city has been evacuated anyway, so what if those ghosts make trouble.

It doesn't matter if you're walking in Kyoto City, urinating while walking, or cradling a telephone pole and piston.

As long as you don't run from the empty Kyoto to other cities, the only thing to worry about is the army of Yin soldiers under the command of King Ye, who has been reconnoitring on important roads several times night and night, but still no trace of the other party has been found.

"There is a vision on the Nagaoka Kyo Myojin Expressway!"

"What?!"

Without warning, white smoke rose from the tranquil countryside, like water vapor and dry ice.

A thick cloud of smoke enveloped the small half of the long traffic jam.

"Moo!"

A heavy cow bark came from the smoke, and the cry of the honest old cow would not give people a sense of peace of mind at this moment.

And a few seconds later, a 'cow' slowly came out of the smoke.

A skull cow to be exact!

There is no flesh and blood hair on the whole body, only craggy bones crossing, and the height of the two meters at the shoulder is exaggerated and scary, but it can still walk on land strongly.

And the skull-cow had a thick hemp rope tied around its neck, which extended backwards into the mist, dragging the rotting wooden two-wheeled 'carriage'.

"Moo!"

"Moo!"

One, five, ten, a herd of ox carts came out of the thick fog.

The flat grass was deeply marked by the huge ruts, and all the bone oxen took a steady and consistent step in the silent march.
