Mt. Todai.

The government is not as ineffective as people think, and even with the bloated and inefficient Japanese government, under some inexplicable pressure and supervision, it has exploded with astonishing efficiency.

The head of the Special Division, Yuto Takaoka, submitted a badge to Todaisan early in the morning as a representative of the Metropolitan Police Department.

In addition to the "bridge" of Ayako Todai and some other high-ranking officials of the Metropolitan Police Department, he was accompanied by several people with mysterious identities.

Even the top brass of the Metropolitan Police Department did not know their specific identities, only that they were directly installed by the cabinet and were not under the management of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Takaoka Yuto could roughly guess the forces represented behind them, and he didn't want to have too much contact with them, but fortunately they didn't have the idea of contacting the Metropolitan Police Department, and the two sides were safe along the way, except for asking Todai Ayako some questions.

Mt. Totai is unusually hot today, and the cold mountain road used to be full of people who came to worship, if it wasn't for the police blocking Mt. Todai in advance, they would have been able to fill the entire Mt. Todai.

The Metropolitan Police Department and his entourage went all the way up along the stone road between the mountains, and the Totai Mountain was not difficult to climb in the past, but now the 300-meter-high Totai Mountain is indeed a "high mountain", even if there is a stone road, when the group finally climbed to the top of the mountain, several high-ranking people who lack exercise still can't help but panting.

All the members of Todai Shrine, including the deity, the god's wife, and the god's daughter, are actually the god's family who have been standing in front of the Todai Shrine for a long time.

It's also a cold one.,It's obviously a shrine.,But after Todai Ayako left, there wasn't even a witch.。

In the past, Asako Todai couldn't be a shrine maiden due to physical reasons, but now she has become a goddess in one step, so naturally she can no longer be allowed to be a shrine maiden.

Everyone paid homage to the god of Todai Mountain in a very serious manner according to the Shinto worship etiquette, and then the Todai Shrine invited to the shrine apse.

The two sides were polite according to the ancient rites, and the god of Totai was obviously dressed up carefully today, the neat robe of the god was meticulous, and the beard and hair on his face were also repaired just right, so as to reflect the majesty of his "true shrine god", but unfortunately the focus of the Metropolitan Police Department was obviously not him, and after a polite look, his eyes began to float to Totai Asako.

If you don't float, you can't help but look at anyone who sees someone floating around them, not to mention that this is still the "daughter of the mountain god", a transcendent person with terrifying powers.

Asako Todai doesn't look much different from before, but it feels completely different.

Her expression is still very delicate, but no matter who watched the video of her yesterday's great power, they will not associate "delicate" with her.

Her eyes were still closed, but everyone had the feeling that they were watching her at the same time, and it was clear that her eyes did not interfere with her vision.

Her legs still haven't recovered, but she already has a way of walking that can replace walking, which is the envy of countless humans.

"Asako."

Ayako Todai was the first to speak, and she looked at the sister who saved her yesterday with a complicated gaze.

There are not only the relief and blessings that my sister can get rid of her mutilated body and embrace life again, but also the gratitude and unwillingness to be saved by my sister.

She looked at her, and a thousand words in her heart finally converged into one sentence:

"It's fine if you're okay."

"I see!" Asako Todai smiled and nodded.

In fact, she really wanted to go up and be coquettish to her sister, but there were too many people today, and they all looked like her father had the same terrible expression, which made Todai Asako, who had never seen so many people, a little timid in her heart, and then thought of her father's special instructions to keep herself dignified today, Todai Asako could only sit helplessly in place, trying to learn her mother's posture.

Some are nondescript.

Gao Gang Xiongdou clenched his fists and covered his mouth and pretended to cough, attracting everyone's attention to himself, and then looked at Todai Asako and said seriously:

"Respected daughter of the mountain god, hello, I'm Takaoka Yuto, the head of the Special Countermeasures Division of the Metropolitan Police Department."

"Hello, I'm Asako Todai!" Asako Todai hurriedly returned the salute.

"I think you should have some understanding of the purpose of our trip."

"Huh?" Asako Todai replied with a blank expression.

Gao Gang Xiongdou was silent for a moment: "Regarding the recent appearance of youkai, I think you also saw it yesterday, the existence of youkai is extremely dangerous for humans, and if it is not restricted, a large number of humans will be sacrificed because of youkai." In fact, more than 1,700 people died yesterday alone, and we could not stop it, so the purpose of our trip was to find a solution to the problem. ”

Todai Asako didn't hear the words behind her, and her mind was still stuck on the sentence that Takaoka Yuto said, "More than 1,700 people died."

"Were so many people killed yesterday?" She asked, incredulously.

Gao Gang Xiongdou nodded: "Yes, more than 1,700, this is only the current statistics, there may be more people killed." ”

More than 1,700 deaths a day is not a normal number, it is just an outbreak, it is impossible to die so many people every day, but Takaoka Yuto did not tell Todai Asako this, and even the vast majority of the dead did not tell her this.

Because he saw that Asako Todai was on the side of humans, and he saw that Asako Todai didn't seem to be smart, so he subconsciously wanted to win her sympathy and pull her to his camp.

In fact, if it weren't for the gods behind her, Gao Gang Xiongdou would have even exaggerated the numbers a little more.

Asako Todai was a little depressed: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, it's clear that Lord Sanshen asked me to protect everyone, but I don't even know where they were killed." ”

"Please don't blame yourself, in fact, if it weren't for your presence yesterday, hundreds of police officers in our Special Section would have been killed, and please allow me to thank you here on behalf of all the members of the Special Section." Gao Gang Xiongdou said solemnly and bowed deeply.

Asako Todai hurriedly waved her hand, her face was flushed, but she didn't know how to refuse.

At this time, one of the mysterious people who followed the Metropolitan Police Department couldn't help but speak: "Respected daughter of the mountain god, the main purpose of our trip is actually to visit the god of Totai Mountain, I wonder if Lord Mountain God can deign to descend to the divine decree?" ”

He wasn't interested in what happened yesterday, it didn't affect him anyway, and the only thing he and the forces behind him cared about was this mountain god god who showed his divine power yesterday, and what this god could bring to himself and others.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present focused their eyes on Asako Todai, looking forward to her reply.

Asako Todai closed her eyes in a little panic, she didn't know how to pray to the gods, so she could only start the Todai-style prayer technique according to her imagination.

Standing with her hands folded on her chest, Asako Todai lowered her head, and read the lines she couldn't hear clearly, but it really looked like that, and it would have been better if she hadn't read the dialogue of the novel.

Soon, she raised her head with a hesitant expression.

"The gods don't want to see you."

There was a look of regret and unwillingness on everyone's faces.

However, Asako Todai's words are not finished.

"But the gods say that He has prepared for you what you need."
