"It is reported that the abnormal weather at sea has not caused any damage to our territorial waters, and according to the statistics of the Fishery Administration Division, we have not received any reports of finding ships in distress so far...... "The daytime news was broadcast on the small TV, and Uesugi Koshi's ears moved and he stopped paying attention and continued to go down.

Kiriya, a frequent visitor, watched the TV with a quick bite, and said with a sigh of relief: "I'm scared to death, the dark cloud just now, I really thought it was the end of the world." ”

It was noon, but there was a strange dark cloud that enveloped the whole of Tokyo, and possibly the whole of Japan. The whole sky is gray, and Kiritani has only seen such a scene in the finale of the tokusatsu film. Coupled with the constant ringing of earthquake warnings and tsunami warnings on mobile phones and televisions, even Japanese people, who are accustomed to various disasters, can only look at the sky in despair.

And then...... Nothing happened, the sky was like a joke on you, and it cleared up as soon as you brushed it.

"Speaking of which, why are you alone, Tomorrow?" Uesugi looked at him alone and asked, "You kid, you won't be scared and leave people behind, right?" ”

"It was I who was left behind...... But it seems that this may be misleading. Kiritani said helplessly, "Her father seems to be a senior executive of a large company, and he sent someone to pick her up during the tsunami warning." She wanted to bring me along, but I was busy rushing to buy food, and I couldn't let her starve when it was the end of the day...... Then, it's perfect to miss out. ”

“…… I really don't know if you're unlucky or lucky. Uesugi glanced at him a little unsure of what to say,

"As for now, she's probably on a plane to the United States or Europe." Kiritani lowered his head a little melancholy and said, "Speaking of which, the gap between us is quite big, her family is so rich, and when she comes to pick her up, all the helicopters are sent." And I'm just a little bit better at the game. ”

He raised his head and looked at the sky and sighed: "The poor boy chased Bai Fumei or something, probably only in anime." It's like in a tokusatsu movie, there is always a hero to save or something in the last days. But when I was most panicked just now, I didn't see any heroes......"

"If I'm not mistaken, after the clouds clear, there should be a lot of planes coming back." An old man in a somewhat jerky Japanese voice suddenly interjected, and then an old man in a suit and leather shoes, carrying a bag and a gift box sat in the gap of the ramen stall.

Ange put down the bag in his hand, looked at Kiritani and said, "If you really like that girl, this is the best time to brush up on good feelings." If that girl likes you too, then congratulations, the person she wants to see most now is probably you. ”

He poured himself the cheap sake from the ramen stall, took a sip and said, "Also, how do you know that no hero has stepped forward?" Only the hero who stands in front of you can be considered a hero? ”

Hearing some inexplicable words from this stranger, Kiritani was suddenly stunned.

Then he suddenly realized that he slapped the fast son and stood up: "Yes, I'm going to see her!" She is willing to accompany me to such a noodle stall to eat noodles, and I still feel sorry for myself here, if such an unconscious character is in the comics, he will be scolded to death by fans! ”

"Hey! Boy, I'm still here, you say I'm not classy, is it really good? Uesugi glared at him unhappily, and then said with a soothing expression, "Run, Kiritani, just like an eight-o'clock Japanese drama." ”

"Thank you, Boss Yue! And thank you, old man who looks amazing! Kiritani bowed deeply to them, and was about to run, when he was suddenly stopped by Uesugi Koshi.

He turned his head and looked at Uesugi Yue, whose eyes seemed to be full of deep meaning, and said, "...... You forgot to pay for the face. ”

"When, you will ruin the image of young people for one or two thousand yen." Light a cigar, Ange said leisurely.

"I should have asked you this sentence." Uesugi Yue, who was quickly packing up the bowls, asked, "When did you become concerned about the love life of young people?" ”

Ange exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "It's just that I have experienced too many regrets and don't want others to experience the same feeling." ”

"You've become so kind, I've almost forgotten how you pressed the Eight Snakes to the negotiating table and signed those education regulations." Uesugi rolled his eyes, raised a wine glass and said, "Congratulations, and thank you for saving Japan while completing another goal." ”

Ange picked up the wine glass and touched it with him, and after drinking it all, he took out two photos from his handbag and threw them over: "According to the information you gave, we did destroy Takamagahara and killed the parasitic things inside. ”

Uesugi took the photo, and his eyes lit up uncontrollably golden. The photograph shows a deep red abyss of the sea 10,000 meters at the bottom of the sea, with eight snakes dancing their heads and tails, like gods who bring about the end against the backdrop of fire, ice, and thunder.

After a long time, Uesugi put down the photo of the Yaki Orochi, wiped the cold sweat on his head and said, "I can't believe that in the face of such a thing, you still dare to fight back, and you have successfully killed her." ”

"But that way, the pressure on my side will probably be reduced a lot." He let out a long exhale, looking sideways at the old street, which seemed a little empty at noon.

"Don't be too happy." Ange interrupted him suddenly, and said without any expression, "It's true that the holy relics you mentioned have been destroyed, but they are only holy relics. ”

Uesugi couldn't help frowning and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Literally." Ange replied faintly, "The relics are destroyed, but your gods ...... Already escaped from Takamagahara. ”

……

The midday sun is unusually bright, and people can't open their eyes, but there are not many people staying on the beach that is supposed to be the peak tourist season. The recent wave warning has made many people who want to cool off stay at home.

Although the clear weather this morning made the sea calm and it didn't look like there would be waves, this is Japan, so it is not surprising that no matter what kind of disaster happens in the next second.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the cloudy sky to turn the entire coast of Japan into night. But the darkness did not last long, and the sky continued to clear again. But even so, the whole beach was empty, except for the lone patrolman.

Wearing a life jacket, the middle-aged inspector wiped the sweat from his head with a swimming ring, and the storm came and went quickly, and it seemed that there was no loss. But what the situation on the sea is like, probably no one knows, whether there will be people who fall into the water or not, let alone anyone knows.

The waves crash against the sand, creating layers of white foam, and the bright, hot beach is devoid of tourists, except for a few seabirds bouncing on the sand pecking at the hapless fish that have washed up on the beach. Lacking the breath of human beings, the whole beach is filled with a natural harmony.

"This is Yuki, and no anomalies have been found on the south bank." The middle-aged inspector, who had made a general tour of the coast and had not found anything, turned on the walkie-talkie and reported it.

Out of caution, or rather in order to meet the demands of the above, this is his third round, and he has not found anything unusual after three trips. So just as he got the instructions to close the team, put away the walkie-talkie and prepare to return, a somewhat unusual reflection on the sea surface attracted his attention.

Having lived by the sea for decades, he has seen everything from stranded whales and sharks to debris from spacecraft and ships. It's just that he's lived by the sea for decades and has never seen anything like it.

A huge shell with a total length of more than a meter, incomparably large.

The shell is tightly closed, the fan is inlaid with beautiful white scales, and the sunlight shines like a rainbow of colorful light, which is not like a natural creation, but like a hand-carved work of art.

The inspector looked at the things, took a few photos, and guessed that this was probably the ornament on a high-class cruise ship, which fell into the sea after an accident at sea, and drifted here.

The inspector picked up the walkie-talkie and wanted to notify the people above to come and take a look. This thing looks valuable, but there is a special process for recycling drifting objects like this that may be related to shipwrecks.

It's just that when he pressed the intercom button, a heartbeat that seemed to sound in his chest suddenly sounded.

"Yuuki, did you find something?" The person who has not been answered for a long time on the other side of the walkie-talkie asked.

The inspector slowly raised the walkie-talkie and said in a normal tone: "No, it's nothing here, it was probably a mistake just now." Also, I always feel uneasy, and I have to make another round. ”

"That's good, you're really dedicated......"

Somewhat numb, the inspector put away the walkie-talkie, picked up the huge shell with some difficulty, and left the somewhat conspicuous beach. As if sleepwalking, he carried a huge shell to a natural cave beneath a rock face.

There are man-made wooden corridors in the caves, where ancient people worshipped the god of the sea and prayed for peace and tranquility, so you can see statues of gods and other things everywhere here. In modern times, it has become a place where young men and women hold a test of courage.

The cave was deep, and the wooden walkway decayed further inside, and the statues and traces of human activity were almost all gone. The air grew damp and cold, and the bones of small animals could be seen everywhere on the ground. The deep cave is far from the ground, and it doesn't look like a human world.

The ancients believed that this was the place of the gods and did not dare to approach it. Modern people, who have long figured out the structure, are reluctant to stay here even in the hottest summer because it is too cold here, and over time, it has become a forbidden place for no one, except for some small animals, no one wants to patronize here.

The Japanese often refer to the gods with trees, stones, and things inside the cave, and this cave is a god-spirited body. Now, the cave with the name of the Imperial God Body has become a true "god" with the entry of inspectors who look like priests.

The inspector is like an ancient priest, even if he is extremely struggling, he has to carry a huge shell with a solemn expression. He gently placed the huge shell in his hand on an altar bound by an old rope, and then stepped aside with a still numb expression, and waited quietly.

I don't know how long it took, until the cold hole became even colder, and suddenly there was a sound like something breaking its shell.

A crack appeared on the surface of the gorgeous shell like a work of art, and a slender arm with a graceful curve that seemed to be crushed with a slight force broke open and stretched out of the shell that looked extremely hard.

The whole cave seemed to light up a lot, and the tiny white scales on that hand shone beautifully like gems. The other slender hand broke open the shell and propped it up on the edge of the shell, supporting the owner of the beautiful hands in the "egg" to sit up.

Milky Way-like light flickered in the small cavern, and silver hair fell like ocean waves, blocking the petite and slender, but slender body. The magnificent Golden Child illuminated the cold rock wall nearby, and the newborn god looked beyond the thick rock wall and cast his gaze on the outside world, quietly looking at the world in an unknown number of years.

She turned her delicate plain white face, and the golden boy was reflected in the eyes of the inspector. The latter's expression was still numb, but his body couldn't help twitching.

"Japan...... Tokyo ...... "It's like extracting knowledge from the inspector's consciousness, and she is not very skilled in using modern words to say the name of the place where she has been for an unknown number of years.

Turning her head, she raised her hand and looked at the slender and abnormal, as if it would shatter at the touch of a finger: "Hatching...... It's too early...... Development...... Need blood to eat ......"

She didn't look at the unconscious inspector on the side, as blood food, this guy was too unqualified. Her gaze was once again cast on the outside of the cavern, in the bustling human city, there was a more suitable, or rather prepared blood food for this day.

Then, at a certain moment, her magnificent golden child, which was more beautiful than any gem, silently climbed up the strange red. She screamed and covered her eyes, and fell to the ground, looking at her blood-red eyes that looked like they were bleeding in the shallow pools of water that pooled on the ground.

Her eyes widened, and a hideous look crept up on her delicate face: "You're nearby, right?" I can feel it! You're in the vicinity! ”

Gradually, her voice became shallow, revealing an inexplicable and weird laughter: "It's so good, we can meet again." ”

"I really want to see you quickly, but not now, I have to see you in the most complete way, in a more complete posture than before." She stood up, the strange red in her eyes fading away.

Cast his gaze out of the cave again: "You don't seem to be in a good state either, so before that, let's see who we are discovering first......"
