(If you want to hear more of your voices and receive more of your suggestions, search for the WeChat public account "qdread" now and follow it to give more support to "Dimensional Interventionist"!) The footage was not very long, and at first the kappa watched it with relish, but after repeating it three or four times, they lost interest and began to talk to themselves. Of course, they weren't the only ones chatting, Reimu and Marisa were also chatting out of boredom. The only thing you can see over and over again is the four seasons.
"Pause. Rewind for five seconds. β
"Ahh
Kawashiro Nitori adjusts the image according to the requirements of the four seasons.
"Did you find anything?"
Reimu noticed the change.
"This."
Shiki points to a corner of the image.
"What's that?"
There was a small white dot that looked very inconspicuous and blurry because it flickered, and even the kappa's high-tech camera couldn't get a clear picture.
"I remember seeing 'shiny things' in the Wenwen News."
"Ahh That's what I saw! β
A kappa girl with round glasses raised her hand.
"Are you seeing something similar?"
Shiki asked the kappa.
"Hmm...... It seems like this is the thing. β
"Thank you for your assistance."
"It's okay."
The kappa waved his hand a little embarrassed.
"Is this point of light the murderer?"
Reimu asked.
"It's very likely."
Shiki remembers hearing about similar spots of light at the Lost House's wildcats.
They didn't find any useful information in the footage since, but it was now almost certain that the fire was the work of the same prisoner as the Lost House.
Then they came to the scene of the fire, but they didn't find anything here, because too much time had passed, and even with Shiji's ability, they couldn't find any remaining information.
After a fruitless investigation, the group said goodbye to the kappa and headed for the second fire scene.
It is located in the middle of Yokai Mountain, and when you get a little closer, you can see a large scorched mark there, and you can imagine what a forest fire it was.
After exploring this charred area for a while, of course, there was no trace left in the burned Cheng dΓΉ, and there was no way to find clues in the four seasons.
"Shall we go to the nearby Moriya Shrine and ask?"
There is no objection to the mention of the Shotimaru Bun.
Soon they came to Moriya Shrine.
It is a shrine built in the middle of the mountain, which is larger and more solemn than Hakurei Shrine in terms of scale. However, Moriya Shrine is not a shrine that originally existed in Gensokyo, but was moved in from the outside world after a large loss of faith from the outside world. But even so, there are more beliefs gathered at the Hakurei Shrine than Reimu, which shows that Reimu is really not very good in terms of management.
The group fell from the sky, and at this time, Sanae Toshiya, the shrine maiden of the shrine, was cleaning the yard, and stopped when she saw them appear.
"Why are so many people here at once? Even Mr. Four Seasons is there? β
Sanae looked puzzled, if Shotimaru was a common neighbor, Reimu and Marisa wouldn't come often, and Shiki, who only had one side, was not in her expectations.
"I have something to ask you."
Reimu said straight to the point.
"It's just about the fire."
Marisa then added.
"Oh."
Sanae nodded.
"It's a lively day."
As he spoke, a voice came from the side.
"Suwako-sama?"
As Sanae looked over, the first thing that came into her eyes was a large frog, which was probably more than four meters long. Of course, it's not the frog that speaks, although there's nothing surprising about the frog talking in Gensokyo, and it's the person sitting on the frog who makes the sound, which is the Suwako in Sanae's mouth.
The girl sitting on the frog (reiterating that Gensokyo is all girls) has the size of a child, with short blond neck-length hair, and a strange hat that resembles a straw hat on her head, and two frog-like round eyes on the hat, which can blink and blink. She is dressed in an ancient pot costume of cyan and white, with frogs painted all over her clothes.
At first glance, it makes people think that it is a frog monster transformation, although she does have some connection with frogs, but the other party is a real god.
In Gensokyo, the gods are generally referred to as beings who have received the beliefs of people, some of which are created out of nothing, and some of which are created by human beings. To put it simply, it refers to the existence of eight million gods. Therefore, these gods are closely related to people's beliefs, and if they do not have the power of faith, they will weaken. This is similar to the yokai, if there is no human fear, the power of the yokai will weaken and eventually cease to exist. So the gods and youkai in this world are actually similar things.
But no matter what, since the girl in front of her is a god, she won't be a weak being, she is the god enshrined at the Moriya Shrine - Suwako, a powerful person who once dominated a country in the past, although now because of no faith, she can only move to Gensokyo.
"Uh-huh."
Suwako, who was sitting on the frog, answered, and then her gaze stayed on Shiki's body.
"You?"
"Hello. My name is Shiki, and I'm an interfer who came here to study. β
Shiki greeted each other, of course, he didn't have any respect for the gods, in fact, there were not many people around him who respected the gods.
"Oh?"
Suwako nodded meaningfully.
"Since you're here, let's all sit inside."
After saying that, the big frog jumped into the back of the shrine.
"Sure enough, I still can't figure out what she's thinking."
Reimu muttered quietly.
"Anyway, let's come in."
The gods he served spoke, and Sanae led everyone into the shrine.
As soon as I walked into the back of the shrine, a rather bold voice came.
"It's exactly what you said."
It was a tall woman with short blue shoulder-length hair, a long bright red dress, and the most distinctive feature was a huge looped straw rope loop behind her, which looked a bit like a Shinto suren rope.
She is a god who serves another god in the Moriya Shrine - Yasaka Kanako, but one shrine enshrines two gods, and the two gods also appear in the shrine like this, even Gensokyo, which gathers all kinds of strange phenomena, is a strange thing. Of course, on the contrary to Moriya Shrine, Hakurei Shrine, which has no gods at all, is also strange enough. Thinking about it this way, although Gensokyo has two shrines, they are both a little different from the shrines of orthodox Shintoism.
