Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi suddenly tensed, looking at the boiling resentment in the sky vigilantly, and Nishino Nanase and Hauka Tsuchigomon, who could feel the resentment, also changed their faces at this time, staring nervously at the main hall in the Baifeng Imperial Mausoleum that enshrines the spiritual seat of Emperor Chongtoku.

Unable to see these grievances, Yoshiko and the other members of Nogizaka 46 still walked towards the main hall unnoticed, seemingly unaffected by these boiling grievances. It's just that Yoshiko's face seems to have become a little pale, but she still walks firmly in front of the other members as the main priest. Although Nanami Hashimoto, Mai Shiraishi, Nanase Nishino, and Haruka Tsuchido were all nervously on guard, the resentment that hung over the Hakumine Imperial Tomb was only boiling and tumbling, but no other changes had occurred.

Seeing that this was the case, after Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi exchanged views in a whisper, they could only increase their vigilance while getting close to Yoshiko at the forefront of the team, and at the same time summoned the cadres of Jiujing and the Nine-Tails Group, hoping that if something happened, it could be dealt with in time. Nanase Nishino, who also saw all this, saw the change in the positions of Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi, and also understood, looking up at the resentment boiling and tumbling in the sky, and secretly clasped the charm in his hand to carry just in case.

Haruka Tsuchigomon, who was in charge of the security of the scene, was not as calm as the three of them like Nanami Hashimoto, although there was no panic on the surface, but in fact she had used the wireless microphone pinned to her collar to shout nervously in the channel used to conduct on-site command: "Everyone is on first level security!" Level 1 Alert! Again, this is not a drill! Be vigilant and prepare to fight against the supernatural at the highest level! ”

"Head of the Tsuchigomon Division, what's going on? Did something happen? Officer Sato and the officials of the Imperial Household Agency couldn't see the resentment boiling in the sky, so they looked at Haruka Tsuchigomon, who looked nervous, a little inexplicably, wondering what was going on.

"The resentment that shrouded the Baifeng Imperial Tomb has changed because of the arrival of Her Royal Highness Jiazi, and now this change is very intense, and I am afraid that there will be an accident." Haruka Domimon's gaze was always fixed on the boiling and tumbling resentment in the sky, and the pressure on her from this resentment was far heavier than the pressure she felt when she faced the feathered fox at the beginning: "Sato, if something unexpected happens later, you will be in charge of the on-site command, and you must ensure the safety of Her Royal Highness Yoshiko and other non-combatants!" Let them evacuate as soon as possible! ”

"I see!" Officer Sato didn't talk nonsense at this time, showing the ability of a criminal policeman, and immediately coordinated the officers of the countermeasures room at the scene to arrange relevant matters to ensure that if there was an unexpected situation, the non-combatants could be evacuated as soon as possible. When the staff of the Imperial Household Agency heard Haruka Domimon's words, they immediately began to coordinate personnel arrangements with Officer Sato, and arranged for some of the inconsequential non-combatants to leave first to avoid becoming a drag. Several royal guards heard Haruka's words through the vacuum headset, and immediately surrounded Yoshiko with nervous expressions, preparing to cover her evacuation as soon as there was an emergency.

While everyone involved was nervous, Yoshiko and the members of Nogizaka 46, who were dressed in shrine maiden costumes, were already standing in front of the main hall of the Hakumine Imperial Mausoleum, ready to start the sacrifice ceremony under the leadership of the priest.

"His Majesty Emperor Shotoku, I beg you to appease your resentment and anger, and I beg your forgiveness on behalf of the Imperial Family, no matter what the cost." Yoshiko stood in front of Emperor Shotoku's spiritual throne and prayed sincerely, not in advance, but from the bottom of her heart, begging for Emperor Shotoku's forgiveness. Yoshiko, who had learned about Emperor Shotoku's life, was full of sympathy for this emperor with a sad fate, so at this time, Yoshiko was full of hope that this emperor who was full of resentment could eliminate his resentment and let go of his obsession and be reborn as a Buddha.

The members of Nogizaka 46, who were standing behind Yoshiko, were also praying seriously at this time, because the operation regarded this sacrificial ceremony as the usual prayer of Nogizaka's new single, so every member was praying hard from the bottom of their hearts at this time, and followed the guidance of the priest to carefully complete every step of the sacrificial ceremony.

Although Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi were still nervously guarding against a possible attack, at this time, they still prayed to Emperor Shotoku like everyone else, sincerely praying that the god of misfortune would quench his resentment and calm his anger. Unlike the others, Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi can not only clearly see the resentment and Buddha nature that envelops the Hakumine Imperial Mausoleum, but also feel that since Yoshiko set foot in the Hakumine Imperial Mausoleum, there has been a gaze that has been watching their every move.

Feeling the powerful momentum faintly coming from behind this line of sight, both Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi knew that the owner of this line of sight was probably the Great Tengu Shiramine Sagami Workshop, who was now worshiped by Emperor Shotoku. But what neither Nanami Hashimoto nor Mai Shiraishi expected was that although this gaze had been watching their every move, it was not hostile and murderous, which made Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi, who were ready for battle, feel a little stunned, and didn't understand what the purpose of this legendary resentful spirit was.

Surrounded by the countermeasures room, the Imperial Household Agency, and the royal guards, Yoshiko and the members of Nogizaka 46 completed the ritual step by step according to the guidance of the priest, and every step was pious and serious. Even Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi, who have been guarding against the appearance of Hakumine Sagami Workshop, and Nanase Nishino, who has been on guard although he doesn't know what to expect, are no exceptions, although the three of them are each alert to possible dangers, but they are still serious and pious at every step of the sacrifice, hoping to really be able to use this sacrifice ceremony to eliminate this resentment.

As the sacrificial ceremony progressed, although several people who could see the resentment shrouded in the sky above the Baifeng Imperial Tomb had been nervously guarding, but there had been no accidents, but this did not make Haruka Tugomon, who was in charge of the security of the scene, breathe a sigh of relief. Although there have been no accidents and emergencies, the resentment of boiling and tumbling in the sky above the Baifeng Imperial Tomb has made Tuyumen Haruka dare not relax her vigilance at all, she can only sincerely pray that this sacrificial ceremony can end smoothly and no accidents will occur.

However, things often develop in a direction that people don't want to see, it seems that the resentment shrouded in the Baifeng Imperial Tomb is boiling to the extreme, and it seems that the sacrificial ceremony really has an effect, in short, the resentment that originally shrouded the entire Baifeng Imperial Tomb in the sky continues to shrink, and finally condenses into a human form, and under the gaze of everyone, it falls on the roof of the main hall of the Baifeng Imperial Tomb.

The figure was described as withered, dressed in a tattered and decayed black court robe, with gray hair scattered like weeds behind him, his bare feet, the nails of his hands were black and sharp, and his skin was dry and dirty, like sharp claws. The face under the gray hair was full of dirt, and he could no longer see his original appearance, and his hideous expression was like a ghost. But the eyes on the figure's face were still bright, as if a fire was burning, so that no one who looked at him could feel the burning anger and resentment behind these eyes.

The policemen in the countermeasures room drew their guns and pointed them at him the moment this figure appeared, as if they were facing a great enemy. And the royal guards who were responsible for protecting Yoshiko also blocked in front of Yoshiko for the first time, ready to escort her evacuation. As for Haruka Dogomon, she felt trembling all over, she felt a much stronger pressure on this figure than the feathered fox she had faced, although Hauka Tugomon had been ready to face a strong enemy when facing those resentments that shrouded the sky before, but at this time, when she was really facing such a powerful enemy, her body was still inevitably trembling. It's not that Haruka Dogomon is timid, but it's just a fear of the strong that comes from biological instinct.

"Is there no one in the royal family? I only sent a little girl like you to face me! The figure's voice was hoarse, as unpleasant as two rusty pieces of iron rubbing against each other, and every word he spoke was like a roar, as if endless anger had been deposited in his chest. The figure stared at Yoshiko, and his words and eyes were full of dissatisfaction and mockery of the royal family.

"I beg your pardon, Your Majesty Emperor Chongtoku, it's not that the imperial family can't send anyone else to be in charge of the ceremony to honor you, it's just that I'm the most suitable person to be in charge of this matter." Faced with the resentful spirit of Emperor Shotoku who looked like a demon, although Yoshiko felt afraid and afraid, she still maintained the prestige of the imperial family, and stood in front of Emperor Shotoku without humility or arrogance, responding to his words.

Emperor Chongde looked at Yoshiko standing in front of him, his eyes were fixed, and he was about to start teaching Yoshiko a lesson, but the moment he raised his hand, he stopped, looked at Yoshiko for a while, and then said, "It turned out to be relying on the divine grace of Amaterasu!" Little girl, do you think I won't dare to kill you like this? As he spoke, a gust of wind blew around Emperor Chongtoku towards Yoshiko.

Blown by this gust of wind, even the royal guards who were protecting Yoshiko in front of him were unsteady on their feet and were blown to the ground. And many members of Nogizaka 46 were blown to the ground, but Yoshiko finally withstood the strong wind, firmly stabilized her body, and stood in front of Emperor Shotoku.

Although this gust of wind made Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi and Nanase Nishino a little embarrassed, even as ordinary people, Takayama Ichimi and Ikoma Rina who only followed Chiya to practice Sakura-ryu did not fall, they were only embarrassed in the literal sense, it was just that the clothes on their bodies were a little messy.

Yoshiko stabilized her body, straightened her messy hair, looked at Emperor Chongde standing on the roof, and said to him seriously: "If I can't eliminate your resentment with His Majesty Emperor Chongde and complete this sacrifice ceremony, I won't leave!" ”

Emperor Chongde looked at Yoshiko, who was still standing, and Nanami Hashimoto, Mai Shiraishi, and others beside her, who also did not fall, and his eyes became fierce, and he seemed to feel quite annoyed: "Hmph! Little girl, don't rely on the grace of Amaterasu, I won't dare to kill you! Seeing that your sacrifice is still pious, while I haven't changed my mind, get out! With that, he waved his hand, and a gust of wind that was almost visible to the naked eye blew towards Yoshiko.

Just when this strong wind was about to blow Yoshiko down, Nana Hashimoto helped her from behind her: "Since this is your wish Your Royal Highness Princess, then as seniors, we will not be stingy to lend you the power to fulfill your wish." Yoshiko looked at Nanami Hashimoto who was holding her and Mai Shiraishi who was standing on the other side of her, nodded gratefully at them in thanks, and then looked at Emperor Shotoku standing on the roof again with confident eyes.

"Stubborn! Then go die! Emperor Chongde seemed to have finally run out of patience, and after a roar, he grabbed his right hand violently, and three wind blades slashed towards Yoshiko, Hashimoto Nanami and the others!

Although this kind of wind blade, which is enough to cut ordinary people in two, is a danger that is difficult for Yoshiko to dodge, it is not enough for the two big monsters standing behind her. A spell flew out of Nana's hand and blocked in front of Yoshiko: "King Kong doesn't move!" A curtain of light unfurled, just stopping the attack path of the wind blade, although after being split for a flicker, the charm burned on its own and the light curtain disappeared, but the light curtain turned by this spell did stop the wind blade sent by Emperor Chongtoku.

"After worshipping for a long time, is the result still going to be a fight? If you knew that, you wouldn't waste any time! Mai Shiraishi complained, turned back to Nanase Nishino, Ichimi Takayama and Rina Ikoma who were about to come over to help, and said, "Nana Sai, take Kazmi and Ichikuma to cover everyone and go first, this is not a place for them to stay!" ”

Nishino Nanase didn't say anything, and immediately nodded and summoned two samurai-style gods who couldn't see clearly in front of him, while Rina Ikoma and Takayama Kazumi also hurriedly helped the member who had fallen just now up and retreated to the rear. Officer Sato also hurriedly sent several police officers to cover the evacuation of these little idols at this time, but his attention was more focused on Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi, who were still standing in front of Emperor Shotoku, and Yoshiko who was standing in front of them. Hauka Tsuchigomon prepared for battle and stood in front of the other members of Nogizaka 46, who were evacuating, to break off their backs.

"If you want to fight, then don't blame us for bullying more and less! Shikiho is called! Nana Hashimoto did not make a summoning god, and the cadres of the Jiujing and Nine-Tails Martial Arts Sect, who had already prepared, immediately responded to her call and appeared in front of her after seeing Nanami Hashimoto's summoning.

Looking at the group of Nine-Tails Martial Arts Sect cadres who suddenly appeared in front of him, Emperor Chongde laughed angrily, laughed wildly and said angrily: "So this is what you rely on? Hahaha, do you think you can deal with me with more people? So what's the fear! Die! As he spoke, he stomped his feet and flew up, and flew down towards Nanami Hashimoto and Yoshiko and others!

Just when the war was about to break out, a loud voice came: "Stop! ”
