Bang.

There was a loud crash again.

The huge humanoid creature outside raised its shriveled and emaciated arms, and opened and closed its palms through the huge holes in the walls of the office building and grabbed in, as if trying to grab the softly humming mainframe computer that was functioning steadily.

But not yet, it actually grabs anything.

"Whew!"

Flames erupted from the Inugami's body and swooped down with a roar.

The light of the fire around the dog reflected the fog outside in a hot red, and even the big hand was forced back by it.

Kamiyagawa held the boy Che Angang in one hand, and lifted the embarrassed Xiao Satoru with the other hand, and flexibly moved back a few steps back, but his eyes always fell on the huge monster outside: "This thing is ...... Siren heads? ”

Siren Head, an urban weirdo that originated in the United States.

Although it originated from the American continent on the other side of the ocean, it also has a certain reputation around the world.

The appearance is the same as what Kamiya sees now, a tall, mysterious humanoid creature known for the two megaphone horns on its head.

In the corresponding urban legends, it is generally depicted as strange creatures with strong vocal imitation abilities. It remembers and plays sounds such as news broadcasts, human conversations, sirens, and screams.

When imitating humans, there will always be noticeable distortion in the sound as the sound is played through sirens rather than the vocal cords or other organic means of generating noise.

Because of its ability to imitate sounds, the siren is a fearsome and skilled predator, and it is said that it will lure its prey by imitating sounds.

Also, it does not appear to prey on or harm animals other than humans.

"The room seems to have attracted a series of weird stories related to electronics, with two sirens around the neck of the siren head...... So it should be considered a strange talk of this classification, right? ”

Kamiyagawa thought so.

In fact, the siren head that appeared outside was not a threat to the Kamiya Group.

It feels like it's just the strength of the upper reaches of the C-level.

After the dog god, who is Aragami, rushes out, it will be enough to settle it.

They don't need their strongest Mary to make a move.

Sure enough, the fog outside was lit up by the karmic fire that rushed to the sky, and the dog god bit the body of the siren head, and the seeping gnawing sound even covered the piercing siren sound. Then, the huge mummified humanoid torso standing outside the office building collapsed with a bang.

"It's okay, it's just scary to watch."

Kamiyagawa put Satoru down.

The latter fumbled and grabbed the former's trouser leg to stand up from the ground, and finally realized his gaffe just now, and blushed to make up for himself: "Lord Wu, I wasn't scared...... It's just a big dregs. ”

But her voice had just fallen—

Rumble!

The siren head, whose silhouette was no longer visible, let out a sharp pop, and the shriveled and huge palm rose into the air again, climbing the gap in the wall of the computer room.

Such a violent action brought a gust of fishy wind into the computer room.

"Wow!"

Xiao Wu, who had just regained his composure, was frightened again, and his conditioned reflex was like a reflex to hold his head and squat on the spot.

Kamiyagawa glanced at her helplessly and sighed silently.

How is this guy like a coward.

But the movement of the siren head is nothing more than a struggle and convulsions before dying.

It grabbed the rust-colored hand at the edge of the wall, and it quickly dissipated into ashes.

Kamiyagawa grabbed Satoru's back and lifted her off the ground: "Don't be afraid...... I won't let you go straight to the battlefield in the future. ”

One thing to say, the loss was that Satoru was picked up from the everlasting Akihabara a long time ago and placed at home.

Otherwise, with this guy's strength and guts, he is alone in a dangerous world, and the devil knows what will happen.

However, although Satoru is now one of Kamiya's Shikigami, she doesn't have any need to go to the battlefield in the first place.

If you make good use of the "future vision", it will be enough for the shrine of the future enlightenment to be able to take on the component of the emotional shrine.

In this way, she has fully exerted her value and made a great contribution to the team.

"I just...... It's just not used to ...... yet."

Satoru argued for himself again, and then was taken by Kamiyagawa and taken to the mainframe computer that was still running.

"There's no weird talk around anymore. Satoru, you can now check what's in this console with peace of mind, judging from the performance of the siren head just now, it seems that the electronic weirdos who were attracted here want to get what is inside. ”

……

In the process of Satoru trying to deal with the things in the host.

Prajna, who calmly dealt with those "cursed mails", has already drifted back to Kamiya's side.

Inugami also crawled back to the computer room along the edge of the office building's wall, with two sirens wrapped in black wires in his mouth.

The dog let go, put the two sirens at Kamiyagawa's feet, flicked his big fluffy black tail, and gently arched his master's palm with his hard head.

It seems that the siren head is bursting out of the material.

These two sirens are probably strange relics or something.

Let's take it first, and then we'll see if there will be a phase between it and enlightenment.

Kamiya had just put the relics of the siren head into the [Mirage Cloth Bag], when Satoru, who was operating the host system, suddenly exclaimed, "Miscellaneous fish, you...... Look at this! ”

I saw that behind the mainframe computer that was humming softly, a ball of transparent green light slowly precipitated.

Strings of "0" and "1" are speeding through the ball of light.

Kamiyagawa stretched out his hand and touched the ball of light that was green, but with a strange sense of technology.

Although this thing is illusory, it has a certain sense of reality after being caught-

[Hello World (no rating for special materials): The divine materials that were bred in the Internet due to the belief in the Electric Palace, representing the new divine authority of the Internet. It may make all the new generation of animatronic weirdos rush to it. 】

"Divinity material?" Kamiyagawa gathered the [Hello World] into the mirage cloth bag, "I'll just say that the cutting-edge belief system over there in the Denden Palace may give birth to something strange. I just didn't expect this thing to be born at the Denden Palace Shrine, but to appear here. ”

Hey! It's a no-brainer!

The second core material that Satoru needs to build a shrine is here, isn't this just there?

If Sister Jue can combine [Si Core] and [Hello World] to create a cyber shrine.

Then the name of authority to enlighten the future will probably be-

The goddess of mind control on the internet?

What a trendy thing it is!

"I just don't know if Sister Jue's traditional god craftsman can handle and use the 'Internet Divine Materials' that may have never appeared in the world before......"

But if you can't, you can learn it!

Anyway, Satoru hasn't become Aragami yet.

There is still plenty of time to prepare for the construction of her shrine.

During this period, Sister Yijue's learning ability should be able to keep pace with the times and master Internet-related knowledge...... Right?

The big deal is to often bring Xiao Wu to Gao Tianyuan to provide Satoru with help in his studies.

……

The riot caused by the animatronic monster caused by [Hello World] was easily quelled by Kamiyagawa.

Later, he asked Utengu to release Toshitaka from the palace and called the Metropolitan Police Department.

After this riot, the computer room of this IT business outsourcing company was almost destroyed, and even the wall of the office building where it was located was smashed out of a big hole.

The losses are not insignificant.

And Kamiyagawa's phone call directly changed his personal de-elimination behavior into a de-elimination mission as an official exterminator.

It is enough to submit a follow-up report.

Since it is an official mission, the countermeasures room is of course responsible for the follow-up compensation-related matters!

In fact, similar situations are common in the organization of the countermeasure room.

In addition to the spirit master, the official encounters sudden supernatural events and takes action to solve them, so the organization must of course give a thorough guarantee for such a conscientious behavior.

As for compensation.

What compensation?

An official soul slayer like Kamiyagawa, who is enthusiastic and responsible, doesn't ask for any additional rewards from the countermeasure room, which is all selfless dedication.

However, according to the current rules and regulations of the countermeasure room, the materials and props collected by the soul exterminator's spirit removal mission must be handed over.

According to the value of the loot, the countermeasures room will convert it into a cash subsidy and contribute points to the individual soul slayer.

However, during Kamiya's phone call with the countermeasure room, the countermeasure room did not ask about the seizure of loot after the incident.

The ghost disciple didn't say anything...... That's no.

Both sides are silent about this.

Then there is the appearance of the siren head and the consequences of its attack on the building.

When this huge humanoid tale appeared, it was accompanied by a thick fog.

Perhaps its terrifying silhouette is not directly visible from the periphery.

But residents in a certain area near the office building must have heard the shrill siren sounding without warning in the middle of the night.

How to deal with these things and whether they will cause unnecessary disturbances is also a question that the countermeasures room should consider.

Kamiyagawa is only responsible for dealing with strange stories.

He will not participate in these troublesome aftermath work.

After returning home, Kamiya gave Satoru the relics of the siren head.

Satoru was really able to accept the power of this material, and she successfully inherited the ability to record and imitate voices from the siren.

Although Satoru is a "genius", there is a high probability that after getting enough resources, he will be able to impact the Aragami realm with his own talent alone.

But it's always good to have one more relic of weird talk.

can further increase her success rate of being promoted to Aragami.

Over the next few days, through the investigation of the countermeasure room, Kamiyagawa learned a rough idea of how "Hello World" was born.

First of all, there has always been a systematic belief on the side of the Electric Palace.

However, the objects of worship of these beliefs, namely the two gods of strong electricity and weak electricity, do not actually exist.

In the past, the faith accumulated in the Electric Palace seems to have flowed to its superior unit, the Falun Temple.

But this flow is not complete, after decades of operation, the Electric Palace has still accumulated a huge number of ownerless faith power.

Then there's the situation here in Kyoto.

Many of the Internet companies in Kyoto, as well as those related to electrical appliances, worship the gods of the Electric Palace, and these industry companies regard the gods of strong and weak electricity as their ancestors.

The IT outsourcing company that gave birth to Hello World, as well as its customer, the small electrical appliance company that made the Shiyama code system, were all invited back to the shrine from the Electric Palace.

Coincidentally, both companies are geographically close to Arashiyama, where the Dendengu shrine is located.

The backlog of faith power at the shrine should have affected the shrines enshrined by the two companies, and perhaps formed some kind of passage.

Then, in the process of the small electrical appliance company constantly piling up the code of the mountain, the oracle of the electric palace was entered into the system by the power of the shrine.

Over time, a redundant system that could not know how many times to repeat the oracle every time a job was run, and could even crash the mainframe computer frequently.

Subsequently, the system was sent to an IT business outsourcing company for processing.

And it was accidentally parsed by programmer Toshitaka Miyazato.

"Hello World" was born.

As soon as it appeared, its special properties attracted the attention of several animatronic monsters, attracting them to compete for it.

After the event, [Hello World] has been placed in the [Mirage Bag] by Kamiyagawa for preservation.

The [Mirage Cloth Bag] has been upgraded by the power of the "Night Sea", and the prop materials placed in it will not exude any breath, so there is no need to worry that [Hello World] will attract animatronic monsters again.

However, Kamiya felt that before the Internet divinity material was built into the shrine, it was feasible to use the characteristics of the material as bait and catch some electronic type of weird talk and throw it into the net.

Those crazy, uncontrollable animatronic weirdos are dismantled into soul crystals and materials.

Those who are sensible and docile will be packed and sent to work in the ordinary world.

Horizontal and vertical do not lose.

That's pretty much what happened.

However, these contents were all added by himself.

The documents in the countermeasures room about the incident are not so specific.

For example, there is no mention of the appearance of the Internet divinity material [Hello World] in the archives, but it is speculated based on the incident report submitted by Kamiya that the power of faith in the Denden Palace may have affected the gods of strong and weak electricity in Kyoto, and the accumulation caused a riot of electronic monsters to a certain extent.

In addition, after the countermeasures room discovered the problem on the side of the Electric Palace, it also learned the lesson of this time.

The turmoil caused by the accumulation of ownerless faith in the Electric Palace this time was indeed dealt with by the disciples of the ghosts and gods, and it is estimated that it will be peaceful for a certain period of time in the future.

But who can guarantee that something similar will not happen again next time?

In order to avoid similar uncontrollable situations, it is necessary to have corresponding solutions.

Because of the belief in the shrine of the Electric Palace, it has been widely spread among the people, especially in specific industries, and now the demolition of the Electric Palace and the like, the effect may not be very good, and it may cause new trouble.

After that, there was a proposal from within the organization -

Since the accumulation of beliefs on the side of the Denden Palace will cause trouble, it should be possible to eliminate the hidden danger by having the Falun Temple cooperate with the Denden Palace, and enshrine an Aragami who can consume these beliefs and maintain a relatively good relationship with the strategy room in the latter.

This proposal was endorsed by many individuals and groups within the organization, including Kamiyagawa, Yusei Shinkenyu, Juqiong Shrine, Jodo Shinshu Minami Honganji, and Yoshikoji Temple. (End of chapter)
