Even though they hadn't set foot in the Hakumine Imperial Mausoleum yet, even though Kuji said that Emperor Shotoku's resentment had left him with the curse, when Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi stepped into the confines of Sanuki City, they still felt the resentment that went straight to the sky.

"This level of resentment? It's amazing! What is that? I actually sealed the resentment! Nanase Nishino, who also felt this resentment, looked ahead in surprise, and in her eyes she could clearly see the direction of the White Peak Imperial Mausoleum, and there was a strong resentment emanating out, but it was blocked by a layer of golden light curtain and did not spread out.

Hearing Nishino Nanase's exclamation, Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi also looked curiously in the direction of the Baifeng Imperial Mausoleum, although they didn't know that it was the Baifeng Imperial Mausoleum, but seeing the extremely strong resentment, Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi immediately understood that it was the Baifeng Imperial Mausoleum where Emperor Chongde was buried. And the golden light curtain above the Baifeng Imperial Tomb that firmly bound the resentment also attracted the curiosity of the two.

"What is this? It was able to suppress such a powerful resentment! Nana Hashimoto looked at the golden light curtain curiously, but she quickly guessed the source of the golden light curtain and confirmed to Jiujing: "Could this be the Buddha nature of the White Peak Sagami Workshop that Jiujing said?" It can really seal the resentment of Emperor Chongtoku, which is much more reassuring! ”

"Yes, that is the Buddha nature of His Excellency Hakumine Sagamibo." Although Jiujing was affirming Nanami Hashimoto's speculation, her expression was still solemn, although her expression as a cat was solemn and a little funny: "But it's too early for Hashimoto-sama to feel at ease, after all, this sacrificial ceremony is going to enter the interior of the White Peak Imperial Mausoleum." ”

"So we're going into that place of resentment?" Mai Shiraishi looked at the direction of the Baifeng Imperial Mausoleum, which was wrapped in a golden light curtain, but could still feel the resentment rushing to the sky, and her face was a little ugly: "With such a strong resentment, it's impossible to appease it, right?" Jiujing, didn't you say that Emperor Chongtoku's resentment has left him, why is there still such a strong resentment here? You can't be mistaken, right? It doesn't look like the resentment has left him. ”

For the resentment shrouded in the Baifeng Imperial Mausoleum, even Mai Shiraishi, who inherited the memories of Tamamo's previous years, still felt troublesome, such a strong resentment was enough to create a big monster that was not weak. Although the cadres of the martial arts faction of the Nine-Tails Group were called, they would be able to take it if they started a war, but thinking of the previous war between Qianye and the white fox Ge Ye in Kyoto, the result was almost half of Kyoto's record, and I am afraid that the entire Sanuki City will be destroyed at that time, right? Thinking of this, Mai Shiraishi couldn't help but purse her lips and fell into trouble.

However, Mai Shiraishi's explanation quickly turned from worry to worry: "No, I'm not mistaken, Emperor Shotoku's original resentment has long since left him with his curse on the fortunes of the entire Japanese country, and has been attached to those five scriptures written in blood, turning into a curse that has lasted for seven hundred years. Miss Shiraishi, what you and Hashimoto-sama are seeing now is only the resentment generated by His Excellency Hakumine Sagamibo's obsession with the imperial family, which is nothing compared to the resentment of Emperor Shotoku who almost covered the entire sky of Shikoku in the first place. ”

"You can't describe it as 'insignificant', can you?" Nana Hashimoto looked at the resentment in front of him that was described as "insignificant" by Jiujing, and suddenly felt a wave of powerlessness. If this level of resentment in front of him is only "insignificant", Nana Hashimoto can't imagine how terrible the resentment that "almost covers the entire sky of Shikoku" in Kuji's mouth is. It was only at this time that Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi had a clear understanding of the strength of Emperor Shotoku, one of the "three great yokai in Japan".

"So is it worthy of being the 'No. 1 resentful spirit of Japan' that has cursed Japan's national fortunes for 700 years?" Mai Shiraishi had almost lost confidence in whether she could defeat this Shiramine Sagami Workshop, not knowing if she and the Martial Arts Fighting Sect cadres of the Nine-Tails Group would be able to deal with such a powerful existence.

"Although Fujiwara Michizane, Heishomon and Prince Hayara were all once known as Japan's No. 1 resentful spirits, in terms of strength, it is indeed true that His Excellency Hakumine Sagamibo is the strongest." Kuja echoed Mai Shiraishi's words, and at the same time comforted Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi: "But this time the sacrificial ceremony is to worship Emperor Chongtoku, so in fact, Lord Hashimoto, you and Miss Shiraishi do not need to prepare on the premise of defeating His Excellency Shiramine Sagamibo, as long as he can eliminate the resentment and obsession with the royal family in his heart, this resentment will naturally dissipate." ”

"So far, I can only go one step at a time." In the end, Nana Hashimoto nodded to Mai Shiraishi, and although she agreed with Kushi's statement, the two were still ready to start a war with Shiramine Sagami in case things didn't work out.

"Nanamin, what were you talking to Mai just now? How do you feel like you're planning something, are you hiding something from me? Nanase Nishino looked back at Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi who were sitting behind her, she had just noticed that Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi's lips were moving as if they were saying something, but she was surprised that she couldn't hear a sound. Curious, Nanase Nishino asked the two directly.

"No, I'm just lamenting the deep resentment of Emperor Chongde with Mai." For reasons not to involve Nanase Nishino, who is still a human, in this matter, Nana Hashimoto did not hide from her what she had just discussed with Mai Shiraishi.

In the eyes of Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi, although Nanase Nishino, who is still a human, is now an onmyoji who is even better than Haruka Dogomon in the strategy room because he was a disciple of Senya in his previous life, but compared to the big monsters, the big tengu is obviously beyond the ability of Nanase Nishino to deal with it, and these things are not within the scope of Nanase Nishino, who is still an idol in his job.

Although it was already clear that Nana Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi had something to hide from him, Nanase Nishino still didn't continue to ask, but just smiled at them: "Then you two hurry up and prepare, it's almost here, your cat can't bring Mai in this sacrificial ceremony." ”

Mai Shiraishi stroked the smooth fur on Kuo's back while smiling in response to Nishino Nanase's concern: "Don't worry, Nanasai, I'll put Kuji in the car and won't take it down later." ”

Seeing Mai Shiraishi say this, Nanase Nishino nodded and turned around, his eyes still staring at the Baifeng Imperial Mausoleum in front of him, which was shrouded in golden light curtains and resentment, not knowing what he was thinking.

Soon, the convoy carrying Nogizaka 46, the countermeasure room, the imperial family guards, and the staff of the Imperial Household Agency stopped in the parking lot in front of the Shiramine Imperial Mausoleum, and after everyone got out of the car, Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi felt the heaviness and horror of the resentment that had almost obscured the sky above the Hakumine Imperial Mausoleum.

"Nana Min ......" has changed a lot after becoming the general of the Nine-Tails Group, but Mai Shiraishi's personality is still a little timid, seeing such a deep resentment, she was frightened and hid directly behind Nanami Hashimoto, carefully pulling her sleeves.

Looking at Mai Shiraishi shrunk behind her, Nana Hashimoto, who hadn't seen her for a long time, couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic, gently patted her hand holding her sleeve, and comforted her with a smile: "It's okay, Mai." You're so scared, your men will laugh at you if they see it! ”

"Hmm! Can't refute! Nanami Hashimoto's words made Mai Shiraishi purse her lips in shame. Although she told herself that she was already a big monster and didn't need to be afraid of the resentful spirit, she was still a little scared, although she let go of Nanami Hashimoto's sleeves, Mai Shiraishi still followed closely behind Nanami Hashimoto, and seemed to be planning to hold her tight at any time to gain a sense of security.

Just as Mai Shiraishi was hiding behind Nanami Hashimoto and seeking a sense of security, Princess Yoshiko also got out of the car and was discussing matters related to the sacrifice ceremony with the staff of the Imperial Household Agency and the person in charge of the countermeasures room under the imperial guard.

"Your Highness Jiazi, all the applications required for the sacrificial ceremony have been prepared, when can the sacrificial ceremony begin?" The staff of the Imperial Household Agency quickly checked the preparation progress of the work in hand, and when they saw that there were no problems, they asked Yoshiko for instructions.

Yoshiko nodded, and after indicating that she knew, she looked at the person in charge of the countermeasures room, and the person in charge of the countermeasures room this time was Officer Sato, who heard that there was a chance to get up close and personal with her idol, and strongly requested to come, and Hauka Tsuchigomon, who was really in charge of it.

"Please rest assured, Her Highness Kako. In the entire area around the Hakumine Imperial Mausoleum, we have arranged defense personnel in the countermeasure room, and the relevant preparations have been completed. Even if something happens, our strategy room has the ability to protect your Highness Kako and the young ladies of Nogizaka 46. "Although he is essentially a fanatical idol otaku, Officer Sato is still trustworthy in terms of professionalism, and the Twilight Police will not send him out to lead the team with Hauka Tsuchigomon in charge of such an important matter.

Although she was assured by Officer Sato, Yoshiko still looked at Haruka Dogomon, who seemed to be more trustworthy, with some uneasiness: "Although it is rude to ask such a question, is the countermeasure room really sure about the accident that may occur during this sacrificial ceremony?" ”

Yoshiko's uneasy eyes made Officer Sato about to say something out of police pride, but Haruka Tsuchigomon rushed in front of him and said, "Although I want to say that I am sure, in fact, in the face of the resentment of Emperor Chongtoku, our countermeasures room can only guarantee that Your Royal Highness Yoshiko will leave with your whole body." I'm afraid I still have to rely on a few disciples of that adult, right? Haruka Tsuchigoto said, and then set her eyes on the three of Hashimoto Nanami, who were standing together at this time and looking at the entire White Peak Imperial Mausoleum.

"Is that so?" Haruka's answer made the staff of the Imperial Household Agency on the side change color, and at the same time, it also made Yoshiko's expectant eyes dim: "I can only expect a few seniors now." ”

Despite saying this, Yoshiko quickly cheered up again, looked at the staff of the Imperial Household Agency in front of her, Officer Sato, and Hauka Dogomon, and said solemnly: "Although it is said that we can only rely on the strength of a few seniors to deal with the resentment of Emperor Chongtoku, but in any case, please do other work well!" Please ...... this time for the sacrificial ceremony No, nothing can go wrong! ”

Jiazi's immature face was full of serious expressions, and the majesty that belonged to the thousand-year-old royal family of this country that finally emerged on her body made the three people who faced her suddenly look awkward, and after raising their evaluation of this idol princess a few points higher in their hearts, they bowed seriously.

"Well, now that all the preparations are made, let's get ready to start the sacrificial ceremony." Yoshiko saw that there was really no problem, so the three of them prepared to start the sacrificial ceremony.

"Okay, then please ask Your Highness and your teammates to change into shrine maiden costumes first, and then there will be a special priest to explain to you how to perform the sacrifice ceremony." Seeing that Yoshiko had confirmed that the sacrificial ceremony could begin, the staff of the Imperial Household Agency nodded and told Yoshiko the first item in the progress list in his hand.

"Please coordinate with Kitagawa-san, who operates the membership, for matters related to the members, and I'm just a member of Nogizaka 46, and I can't command everyone." Although Yoshiko said this, she still took the staff of the Imperial Household Agency to Kenji Kitagawa and negotiated with him about the arrangements for the members of the next sacrifice ceremony.

Under the arrangement of the operation, all the members of Nogizaka 46 changed into the shrine maiden costumes prepared in advance, and several members who wore the shrine maiden costumes for the first time still felt a little novel, and were getting together to take pictures with their mobile phones, while Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi were watching the members worriedly, worried about how to protect them from harm in case of a problem with the sacrificial ceremony.

And Jiujing, who was supposed to be left in the car by Mai Shiraishi, had already taken advantage of the time when the members got out of the car to get out and leave, just leaving a clone in the car to pretend. After getting out, Jiujing quickly found the cadres of the Nine-Tails Martial Arts Sect who had arrived near the Baifeng Imperial Tomb in advance, and after conveying the order of Mai Shiraishi to these impatient monsters who were already a little waiting, Jiujing hid around the Baifeng Imperial Tomb with them, and once there was any accident in the sacrificial ceremony, they would break into the Baifeng Imperial Tomb as Mai Shiraishi and Nana Hashimoto's unsummoned Shikigami.

After receiving the signal that Kujin was ready to pass on, Nanami Hashimoto stepped into the White Mine Imperial Mausoleum with Mai Shiraishi and Yoshiko and the other members of Nogizaka 46.

However, when Yoshiko's footsteps crossed the golden light curtain formed by the Buddha nature of the Hakumine Sagami Workshop, the resentment that shrouded the Baifeng Imperial Tomb suddenly boiled.
