Chapter Fifty-Six: The Unbridled Mask

~Drip~Drip~

The rapid honking of the ambulance suddenly added a layer of tension and solemnity to the familiar street that Sunset Kagome often walked through every day.

"Hey! I heard that the sunset shrine was on fire! ”

"Then let's go and have a look!"

At the turn, a conversation between several teenagers suddenly catches Sunset's attention, but she doesn't quite hear it clearly.

Because Furikawa was going to study with his homeroom teacher, Mr. Sato, after school, Kagome had to walk alone on the way home first.

......

"The fire has been controlled, don't worry!"

"This road is closed, please don't push!"

At this time, under the stairs of the mountain road of the Sunset Shrine, several long cordons have been pulled up by the police.

The firefighters, in cooperation with the police, are working very hard to evacuate the crowd of onlookers.

"I'm sorry, please let me pass!" Sunset Kagome cut through the crowd and crossed the cordon directly.

"Hey, you can't go in!"

Although the police brother said this, he did not rush to stop Sunset Kagome.

The lack of manpower is a big problem, so we can only hope that the comrades inside will subdue the ignorant and curious girl.

"Thank you so much!"

At the entrance of the shrine, Kagome's mother bent down to thank the police comrade in front of her with a grateful face.

"Mom!"

"Kagome!"

Kagome's mother also happened to turn her head to see her daughter running up the stairs.

"Mom, what's going on?" Sunset Kagome gasped slightly, and her expression was particularly anxious.

"The warehouse suddenly caught fire, and my grandfather was choked by smoke inside." Kagome's mother explained.

"Grandpa, he'......" Sunset Kagome's pupils couldn't help but shrink, for fear of hearing bad news that she couldn't accept.

"Don't worry, although I was injured a little, I just passed out, I didn't smoke any smoke, and my mother was about to go to the hospital." Mom's calm words finally made Sunset Kagome breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'm going with me too!"

"Caotai hasn't come home yet, can you stay here and wait for him?"

Kagome's mother gently pressed her shoulder, then looked behind no one and said in a surprised tone, "Where's the burial river?" Didn't I come back with you? ”

"The burial river was left by the teacher to get the textbook, since this is the case, I will stay and wait for the grass to be with him!"

Sunset Kagome said as she looked in the direction of the warehouse, and there was always a strong uneasiness in her heart, "Why is the warehouse on fire?" There's no fire in there! ”

......

"Was the fire in there?"

"Be careful, there's a big hole in the ground."

Firefighters are looking for the cause of the fire in the shrine's burning warehouse, which is a very important investigation that needs to be documented afterwards.

~Dingdong~Dingdong~

The large amount of water sprayed by the fire truck when it extinguished the fire turned out to be a small puddle on the floor of the warehouse.

The young firefighter who had just happened to walk over seemed to notice something unknown, and then, driven by curiosity, he couldn't help but look down at the water.

There seemed to be some kind of gaze secretly watching him under the water, and this feeling suddenly became stronger and stronger in the hearts of the firefighters.

Suddenly......

A human face mask with a scar floated directly to the water, and then slammed into the face of the young firefighter with lightning speed.

"Hey! What happened to you? ”

His companions also noticed that something was wrong with him at this time, but they didn't know the specific reason.

"What do you want to do? Yes! ”

“......”

Desperate screams and wails continued one after another, but no one noticed the special situation here.

......

"Sister!" Nippon Kusa trotted all the way to the top of the Nippon Shrine.

"It's okay, everyone's okay! Don't worry! Sunset Kagome crouched down to comfort her panicked brother.

Rumble!

The noise from below immediately disturbed the warm reunion of the two sisters and brothers.

"Stop!"

A firefighter used his body to block the red fire truck, but the car seemed to go crazy and wanted to run over it.

Although he dodged in time, all the police cars around him had been completely destroyed.

"Hurry up and chase it!"

"Contact us, our fire truck is out of control."

The police cars that were on standby on the periphery for evacuation were all dispatched to chase the out-of-control fire trucks.

"Body...... Rotten...... It's about to rot....... A little more...... You can get a complete body, as long as you have a little more ...... As long as there are fragments of the Jade of the Four Souls! ”

Inside the red fire truck, a greasy black monster with a body that looks like some flowing substance is turning the steering wheel.

And the scar mask on his face is undoubtedly a physical human face, so from this point of view, the paper charm used by Grandpa Kagome should still have a slight effect.

......

"What's going on?"

The burial river, which had just returned from school, raised his eyes and saw the tragic scene of the Sunset Shrine that had been completely blocked.

"You're finally back, I ask you, can you feel anything around you?"

As soon as Sunset Kagome saw the Burial River, she couldn't help but rush up and clasp his shoulders tightly.

"Huh! Four Soul Jade Fragments...... And demonic ......"

Burial River knew that the situation might be serious, because it was rare to see Sunset Kagome react like this, so he was also very serious about probing the surroundings.

Although he doesn't have the sensitive nose of Inuyasha, he has a very clear perception of all energy substances.

"Sure enough, it's a youkai, is it the one from last time?"

Sunset Kagome thought that the four soul jade fragments that Burial River was talking about were the seven pieces she had placed on the table in the room.

"It's not the monster from last time, and it seems to be a new jade fragment of the four souls, the eighth piece!" The mood of the burial river instantly became very good.

"Someone died, a lot of people died, and there were no bones, no traces."

Sunset Kagome clearly knew that Bury River still hadn't been able to recognize the seriousness of the situation, so she couldn't help but remind in a low tone.

"That's it! It seems that this is another ruthless big guy! "I'm going to solve it." ”

"Wait!"

Sunset Kagome immediately turned around and ran back to the room under the surprised gaze of the burial river.

"Isn't this a bottle containing the fragments of the Jade of the Four Souls? What are you doing with it now? "The burial river was very surprised.

"As long as it's there, the youkai will definitely come back to us." Sunset Kagome explained.

"Do you want to take into account the panic of the population?"

Fuhe suddenly took this into account, as an ancient person who didn't understand the pattern of the present world and the rules of the law at all, it was already super receptive to being able to figure out this.

"That's right! If you are seen by others in the present life, you will probably be arrested by the government and used as a guinea pig for experiments. ”

Sunset Kagome's worries are not unreasonable, confronting the Japanese government head-on, it is not difficult to bury the river, but it is difficult to prevent hidden arrows, not to mention that she still has important family members to protect.

"Mice? It shouldn't just mean a white mouse, right? ”

Fuhe was stunned for a moment, he hadn't learned this term until now!
