Kashima Jingu Shrine is located in Kashima City, Ibaraki Prefecture, and as the main shrine of Kashima Shrine, it is not small in scale and is dedicated to a shrine called Takekogashi Okami.

However, in terms of the entire structure, it is no different from other shrines, with torii gates, stone steps, and approaches...... Then to the worship hall and the main hall, the only difference is that there is a symbolic deer park.

It is surrounded by a large number of giant trees, but Van Gogh Shrine is indispensable for such a forest.

......

The night breeze blows through the woods, and the leaves rattle between the intertwined branches.

Gradually, mist spread through the mountains.

Under the torii, which resembles a torii, the accumulated rain ripples with a "snap" of a stepped shoe, and the clergy carrying the lantern (the lowest is called Naoji) walks through the torii, and his companion suddenly stops.

"Wait a minute, do you hear anything?"

The man grabbed his companion and turned to look around, and there was only the sound of the wind blowing through the trees in the darkness.

"Did you hear me wrong?" his companion held up the lantern, and the light of the fire shone on his face through the white paper, and when it flickered and dimmed, the pupils of the eyes under the light of the fire shrank sharply, and a little sound came out of his throat.

"What's that.....?"

Between the trees in the distance, the mist distorted various shapes with the wind, and at the moment when the man uttered his words of surprise, the mist gradually changed color in the dimness, turning into a cloud of cyan.

Among them, the silhouette of a slender woman can be faintly seen.

Red high heels, stomping across the wet ground, cyan smoke seemed to come to life, lying at her feet and spreading rapidly, and the next second, with the wind roaring, pounced over.

In the rhythm of the slender heel stomping, Zhou Jin swayed his waist and walked between the two of them with slender legs, and the poisonous smoke quickly penetrated into the body the moment the woman walked.

The two shrine personnel who were standing there fell to the ground like mud, and the light of the falling lanterns was two bloody faces with seven holes.

In the night, the sound of high-heeled shoes still spreads up the stone steps.

Building gate, approach.

There are not many clergy on night patrol, and in addition to the main deity enshrined in a high shrine like this, there are many treasures that may be stolen, so night patrols are naturally essential.

At this time, several priests who happened to be walking through the approach heard the unique trampling sound of high heels, and their eyes looked towards the stone steps over there.

Just as he was about to open his mouth and shout, smoke entered his nose and mouth.

Exiting through his nose and mouth, he quickly returned to the woman who came over, and several people on patrol suddenly covered their throats, their faces were hideously twisted, and blood was overflowing.

Fell one after another on the route that the woman had taken.

At this moment, Kashima Jingu has long been closed, and only Naza, which is used for clergy to stay, work, and watch at night, is still lit, and most of them have fallen asleep, except for patrolling outside, and most of them are working inside, dealing with the affairs of the shrine that are not finished during the day.

Occasionally, someone looks up and looks out the window.

He saw a beautiful and delicate woman, standing behind the window and smiling at him.

The man hurriedly put down the pen, stroked the crown of gods on the top of his head, and was just about to stand up, when in the afterglow, in the gap under the door, green smoke poured in like flowing water.

His eyes cracked, and he let out a terrible scream—

Time moves forward a little.

The rain stopped, and the accumulated raindrops dripped down the eaves of the main hall of the shrine, and the wind chimes at the corners of the eaves jingled softly, and on the second floor of the main hall dedicated to the great god of Wu Yong, there was a faint candle flame illuminating the silhouette of two people sitting opposite each other.

"...... Shou Mingten's plan is only beneficial to us clergy, and if the Eight Million Gods Project is launched, the believers will be able to see the true gods in the world, and I can already see their fanaticism shouting in our ears. ”

"I'm afraid the news of the Inagaki priest is lagging behind, and I'm here to tell the priest that the gods are waking up. ”

"Success?"

"The divine seed can already be peeled off separately and planted in a container. ”

In the courtyard behind the main hall, bamboo tubes filled with rainwater were poured into the water tank overwhelmed.

In the upstairs compartment, Inagaki Ake, who was in his fifties, stroked his chin and long white beard, looked at the young man who was only about thirty years old opposite, and nodded: "Ten years of funding, it seems that it has not been in vain, Shou Ming Shun should also fulfill his dream...... Well...... This is our great dream. ”

Reach out and push for a cup of tea.

"What the priest of Inagaki said is that several experimental subjects have been successfully awakened now, and it is believed that soon the Martial Hammer Okami (Kengoo Thunder God) will be transported to Kashima Shrine and settled in the main hall......"

The man took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

In the deer park on the other side of the hall, there were suddenly several panicked deer chirps, which attracted the attention of Inagaki Akechi on the second floor, and just as he frowned, the young man opposite was still saying, "...... When the time comes, the number of believers will surge, and Kashima Shrine will probably be more prosperous than before." ”

In fact, there are some things that everyone knows by heart, after all, it took so much effort, ten years, and countless money, energy, manpower and material resources to pile up the results, how can it be as simple as offering to people and increasing the prosperity of the shrine.

However, just as the man's words fell, he heard a terrible cry near the worship hall in the distance, followed by a "Ah-" scream, which instantly tore into the window and reached the ears of the two.

"What's going on?"

"Go down and have a look!"

The words of the two sounded almost at the same time, and they rushed down the second floor, and when they rushed out of the main hall gate, there were also people around them, but then after the scream fell, the night fell into calm again.

Whoop –

Amid the sound of the trees and fields, this main hall seemed to have entered a strange world, and there were only a few of them alive.

The clergy who arrived then rushed to the front with lighting tools to check, but no news came.

Soon, the night ahead lit up red.

"Someone set fire—"

Inagaki Akeshi roared, his beard trembling at this sound, and in the next second, the wind chimes in the corner of the eaves suddenly tinkled and tinkled.

The old man tilted his head.

With a bang, his chest suddenly burst into a mass of red, and before he could make a sound, his whole body flew directly upside down on the temple pillar on the side, and a black iron cone fixed him tightly on it, staring at his eyes, still looking for something, but when he saw the silhouette of a figure, he swallowed his breath.

The iron cone that penetrated the chest cavity also turned into iron sand at this moment, and flowed back down the eaves.

The figure in the black cloak walked up to the light under the eaves, a smile on his emaciated face.

"I said that Boss Xia is making a big fuss, a tourist attraction, where there will be any strange people, but they are just ordinary people...... It's still the kind of god stick. ”

"Be careful..... there's nothing wrong with ...... The voice of the electric python also sounded in the other corner.

Then he walked out.

Under the eaves, the remaining men trembled and looked at Inagaki Akechi who had collapsed from the pillar, and muttered a few times: "Priest ....." After that, turn around and run.

The next moment.

As soon as the lifted foot falls, an arc of electricity is generated between the two feet.

The figure that made a running posture fell directly to the ground, and his whole body convulsed, and the skin visible to the naked eye became dead and dry, and after a while, it was gone.

The Magnetic King and the Electric Python converged and went straight up the steps to open the door of the main hall.

Behind the two of them, footsteps sounded, and they turned slightly left and right, and a figure with an inverted halberd walked up the stone steps and entered the main hall of this divine palace.

I don't even look at the statue of the god in the first place.

Straight to the side, there was a display table, inside was a black Tang cabinet, more than two meters long, and the electric python that followed frowned: "When did the horizontal knife become so long?"

However, he was answered by the sound of glass breaking.

The splashed scum and fragments were scattered on the ground, Xia Yi directly took out the 'Tang cabinet' from it and opened it, the sheath was dull, and the fingertips rubbed it, the shark skin that was originally wrapped on it had a clear roughness, and the ring head was a signature diamond-shaped carving, but unfortunately most places could see the wear and tear.

Pull it out.

The blade is light and slender, with a slight arc, and the total length of the blade with the handle is about two meters five or six, and the overall feeling is not as light as other swords, but the slender blade has a different murderous aura.

"Good knife...... It's not a horizontal knife, but it's a real guy. Xia Yi, who has always maintained a high level of coldness among everyone, grinned at the corner of his mouth the moment he held the handle of the knife.

The fingertips swept from the edge of the blade, wandering and caressing, and the next moment, Xia Yimeng turned back, raised his hand and slashed in the air.

Magneto and the electric python heard the sound of what seemed to be a tear in the air.

Over there, the moment Xia also put the knife back into its sheath.

The towering statue of the great god of the martial arts hammer suddenly cracked with a cracking sound, and the huge stone statue cracked diagonally from the shoulder to the waist, and fell down with a bang, smashing the offering table to pieces.

"Let's go! I've got my stuff, it's time to go to Tokyo. ”

Xia Yi's voice came, and the electric python looked at the half-cut statue in a daze, his brain almost crashed, but he came back to his senses, picked up the oil lamp on the ground and threw it on the nearby cloth, flicked his fingers, and the arc ignited the fire, and then he followed out with Magneto.

Soon after, the main hall, the worship hall, and the coin hall were ablaze, and the flames reflected half of the sky, black smoke rolled up the clouds, and the huge flames shone on the backs of the four people who set the fire and walked through the approach and left towards the stone steps.

After the night, the police stations in Ibaraki Prefecture and Kashima City were flooded with phone calls.
