Chapter Twenty-Three: A Staggered World

In Kyoto, Japan, after a winding mountain road and through a crimson torii gate, an ancient shrine looms between the mountains and forests, the shrine itself is not grandiose, but the ancient charm of history gives it a unique solemnity, and it is particularly dazzling under the sunlight.

Yata Shrine.

On the solid wood floor, a young woman knelt in front of an ancient bronze mirror, her plain white robe was simply decorated with red stripes, and a white headband tied her beautiful black hair back behind her head.

On the woman's chest, a jade plate carved with patterns such as pine, bamboo, turtle and crane exudes a soft white light like a dream.

Time seems to stand still.

Only the sound of water flowing from a bamboo sheary pot in the courtyard reminds of the passage of time.

The woman suddenly opened her eyes and stared at the figure in the mirror, which was as calm as water.

The bronze mirror truthfully reflects her slender figure, but the difference is that the person in the mirror is a little less childish, and the twins with a slight difference are presented in opposition inside and outside the bronze mirror.

"Chizuru, our time is running out, the seal of the Great Snake has been loosened, and it may not be long before it is possible to break free from the seal, you must familiarize yourself with the Eight Mirrors as soon as possible, and unite with the other two to re-repair the seal." Although the shrine maiden in the mirror did not open her eyes, she could see a little anxiety between her eyebrows.

Listening to the words echoing in her ears, Kagura Chizuru shook her head, "With your sister, I don't have much problem mastering the Yaga Mirror, it's just that the foundation still has work to deal with, and today's cultivation can only go here." ”

"Chizuru ......" looked at the back of his sister leaving with exhaustion, and the figure of the witch in the mirror gradually dissipated.

The Kagura family, who inherited one of the three artifacts, Yagakuga, has always been responsible for guarding the seal of the Great Snake.

As one of the agents of the will of the earth, the Great Snake has been the guardian of mankind since ancient times, but as the development of human beings gradually separated from nature, the Great Snake as the guardian of existence has gradually transformed into a symbol of "evil" in order to destroy mankind.

1,800 years ago, the Orochi clan's attempt to destroy humanity was defeated by the three major families of Kusanagi, Yachi-Joan, and Yagashi with three artifacts, and sealed it through the power of the Yatsuya Mirror, making it impossible to reincarnate.

660 years ago, in order to break away from the "shadow" of the Kusanagi family, the Yachi-Joan family, eager for power, signed a "blood contract" with the Great Snake, and the power of the Eight Masters in the Great Snake's seal was liberated, re-starting reincarnation, and trying to make the Great Snake come again, and the Yachi-Joan family, who changed their name to Yagami, also completely embarked on the opposite path with the Kusanagi family, and the battle between the two families has continued to this day.

Among the three major families, the Yaga family changed its name to Kagura in order to protect the seal, and one of the twin sisters born in each generation guarded the seal as a shrine maiden, while the other managed the family and produced the next generation.

And this generation of Kagura Mangui and Kagura Chizuru sisters are no exception, the elder sister Mangui masters the Eight Mirrors, and the younger sister Chizuru manages the Kagura Foundation.

However, a year ago, as the sister of the shrine maiden, Kagura Mangui was killed by Konitz, one of the Eight Masterpieces, and the seal was weakened again, and her sister Chizuru could only take over the responsibilities of her sister while managing the family, and took on the pressure of double shares.

......

In Paris, France, among the concrete jungle of high-rise buildings, the red and white umbrella-shaped signs and the huge sign with Umbrella written on it stand out in the sun.

Albert Wesker, who still wore sunglasses and maintained a grim appearance, slowly walked into the elevator, and as the numbers on the display screen kept changing, the elevator reached the top floor.

When he stepped into the room, the white-haired old man who was sitting in his chair and looking out over the city turned around, playing with a gem that glowed with a golden glow, and a smile appeared on his face when he saw the comer.

Looking at the gem in the old man's hand, Wesker's gaze under his sunglasses was momentary for a moment, and then he bowed slightly: "Mr. Spencer." ”

"Well, you're here...... There's something you need to do. ”

"Command."

"In a month's time, I'm going to Tokyo ......"

......

In Earth's near-earth orbit, a huge space station like a steel fortress shimmers from time to time.

In the hall like an ancient Western palace, a blonde old man in a white coat sat upright on his seat, although his eyes were closed, he had a sense of majesty that was not angry and arrogant, but if you looked closely, you would find that this old man had a feeling that it was not real.

The old man was the founder of the Nest-s company, which bears his name and has always been a trade organization engaged in the cause of peace under his philosophy.

When the company's transformation began to move into military and life sciences, many collaborators were surprised to wonder why the old man had made such a dramatic change.

But in fact, the old man had died many years ago at the hands of his own son, Igniz.

Unlike his father, who pursued justice and peace, Igniz has great ambitions, trying to make himself a "god" beyond humanity through the power of cutting-edge technology, and lead all mankind to open the door to a new world, all under the prestige of his dead father.

All in all, this is an older middle-aged secondary school who wants to rule the world and is ready to do something.

At this time, this fifty-year-old and twenty-year-old who had been rejuvenated through biological transformation was standing in front of the huge glass, shaking his red wine glass like a nobleman, the light reflected by the earth outlined a silver-white outline on his body, and his long golden hair was scattered over his shoulders, looking empty and lonely and incomprehensible.

The female secretary who walked into the hall did not disturb his Yaxing, and stood not far away.

"Lord Igniz, Dr. Makishima's scientific research has reached a bottleneck, and he needs more strong genes to improve the follow-up experiments......"

Listening to the report of the female secretary, Igniz continued to maintain a lonely and snowy appearance, and asked without looking back, "How is the data collection of the fighters in the fighting tournament?" ”

The female secretary heard this unrelated question, and was stunned for a moment before continuing: "It's ongoing, and according to the analysis of existing data, the number of martial artists who break the limits of their bodies and master superpowers is increasing. ”

Igniz nodded and continued to ask, "What are his plans for Maki Island?" ”

"Dr. Makishima wants to approve the arrest of Kyo Kusanagi."

"Tell him I approve it."

......

In another space, the blood-like terracotta, the bottomless dark faults, the terrifying forest, and the swamps full of miasma build a hellish scene.

On the top of an active volcano with thick smoke, a plump figure outlined by a sexy and naked bodysuit, and a pair of bat-like wings on her waist and head as if she had no gravity, fluttering around the crater, as if looking for something.

Suddenly, a [door] appeared in front of her eyes, and a happy smile suddenly hung on her lovely face, and she subconsciously licked her red lips, and the next moment she got into the [door].

"In the world, I'm coming~"
