Chapter XIX. Publicly-funded transfer (ask for follow-up reading, ask for recommendation, pinch)

- Trouble.

The moment she heard the news, Rosetta realized that it was most likely a conspiracy of the Foot Club behind the group of corpse dogs.

What Reiko Arakawa said earlier, there is also part of it that is right, he did kill most of the corpse dogs in the area of the old city, but in terms of the specific number, he knows that he has killed, and it is impossible to kill as much as the other party described.

Even if the corpse dog is harmless on the surface, once they turn on their true form, their physical fitness will quickly transform to a level far more powerful than that of a normal adult.

Even if Rosetta has mastered the skills to deal with them, it will take more than a quarter of an hour to completely kill such a corpse dog, not to mention that he still needs to find, hurry, and recover his strength.

If you add all these efforts, the time cost is even more serious.

In just one night, how could he have the ability to kill none of the above victims?

Rosetta realized that there might be only one way to explain this exaggerated number of dead, and that was ...... The person behind the corpse dog, taking advantage of this opportunity, directly and decisively gave himself the 'achievements' of the corpse dogs under him through the inside line of the police.

This can not only make the existence of the 'corpse dog' further turn from light to dark, but also bring trouble to yourself, with the help of the police force of the entire Antchuan City, to find yourself out openly.

Outwardly.

Dead dead dogs are almost indistinguishable from normal humans.

When they have never seen the true form of the corpse dog, most people are willing to believe that they are still their own kind in the face of these cannibals with the same appearance, and actively ignore those doubts that exist, and even find their own reasons for this.

Rosetta had to warn herself.

These cannibals, transformed from humans, are not heartless beasts like lions and tigers.

Rather, like humans, they are also wise primates, cunning enough, alert enough, and even more proficient than most people in the means of survival in society.

Hands-on twice.

Although Rosetta left behind a small number of hand tails, there are still some clues to be found.

If it is an expert in criminal investigation, he will stay like this, do nothing, and exposure is inevitable.

The record of him and Reiko Arakawa entering and leaving Prison No. 3 is also a hidden issue, and as long as Ishiizaki realizes this, Rosetta's life is in danger.

Even now.

His instincts also warned him to try to avoid going head-on with Ishiizaki.

And if he could, Rosetta would never want to face this guy so early.

We can't sit still. His knuckles unconsciously tapped on the table, and then whispered to Reiko Arakawa, "I'm sorry, I may have been involved in you." ”

"Mr. Luo, what did you just say?"

Reiko Arakawa didn't seem to hear too clearly, but continued to rub her eyebrows, and said helplessly: "Both times it was a big incident after we left, I doubt whether I am lucky or unlucky, I came here so early in the morning today, just to call you to go to the Inari Shrine near Antgawa City to see if you can wash away the bad luck on your body." ”

A shrine near Antgawa City?

This reminded Rosetta that there seems to be a shrine dedicated to the god Inari near Antgawa City, and I heard that it is particularly effective, and there are rumors in other cities, so it is no wonder that Reiko Arakawa wanted to call him there for transfer in the first place.

This suddenly opened his mind.

Since there is a new religious group like the Shenzu Association that has abnormal abilities, correspondingly, are there also hostile organizations and forces in the country of Yingzhou?

It is now certain that there are 'dead dogs' in the police system.

If you stay in Antgawa City, you may be attacked at any time, and no matter what you do, you will be passive.

If you want to break the game, you can't play hide and seek with them where the other party has the most advantage, but you must seize the opportunity, turn yourself into the unknown first, and then find a way to leverage your strength to succeed in one blow.

The Inari Shrine proposed by Reiko Arakawa is a good place.

The location is located outside the city of Antgawa, the claws of the corpse dogs are difficult to reach, and there are extremely effective rumors, which makes it even more worthwhile for Rosetta to explore.

Even if there is no one with the same ability as him in Inari Shrine.

As a temporary base before infiltrating the investigation of Clam Pharmaceutical, this place is also much safer than the apartment he is renting now.

"Hey, my esteemed Mr. Rosetta, are you free?"

Soon, Reiko Arakawa's helpless voice rubbing her eyebrows came: "This is a rare opportunity to travel at public expense all year round, besides, it is your dear predecessor I took the initiative to invite, do you know that your silence makes me doubt my own charm?" ”

"Well, my question."

Rosetta was very bland, but the look in Reiko Arakawa's eyes was very strange: "And this luck of yours really needs to be turned." ”

"What do you mean that my luck really needs to turn around, obviously I became unlucky after I met you, I think it should be you who need to go to the transfer!"

Reiko Arakawa's tone was annoyed.

At this time, the reporter showed a rather girlish side.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes." Rosetta complied directly and changed the subject: "Forget it, seeing that you haven't eaten since you came early in the morning, I'd better make you one first." ”

He put down the bowl and chopsticks that had not yet moved, stood up, drank the hot soy milk mixed with some powder of the Entanglement Fang, first poured a cup of the normal version for the other party, and then went to the kitchen to get busy first.

Looking at Rosetta's back, Reiko Arakawa propped her cheeks and muttered in a bored whisper: "Sure enough, it's not the same if you are handsome, just get up quickly." ”

In the country of Yingzhou, the number of shrines dedicated to the god Inari is probably the largest.

Rather than the majestic gods of Izumo Taisha and Kasuga Taisha, farmers are more willing to offer plump grains to cute stone-carved foxes (incarnations of the god Inari) to pray for a good harvest in the coming year, and merchants are willing to believe that the wise foxes can give them good luck.

Therefore, after the gradual development of industry and commerce, from the original godhead of the god of agricultural abundance, the god of Inari has extended a new divine right as the god of industry, commerce, shelter, and even good fortune.

This Inari Shrine near Antgawa City was built on a mountain.

If you want to go up the mountain, you must first pass through the vermilion torii gates and clean your hands next to the hand water house, so that you can walk up the winding pilgrimage path, be watched by the dozens of fox stone sculptures on the side of the road, and actually enter the worship hall.

Normally, torii gates are seen as the dividing line between life and death, man and god, and passing through these vermilion gates means gradually entering the area where the gods reside from the mundane realm where people live, and it is necessary to behave properly and be religious.

Perhaps the name of this Inari Shrine has a basis.

After breakfast, Rosetta and Reiko Arakawa braved the unending light rain to the bottom of the mountain, gradually passing through the vermilion torii gates and entering the 'Divine Domain'.

After some time, everything around me fell silent, as if this was no longer a noisy and noisy world.

Beside the pilgrimage path, statues of foxes with different expressions are hidden among the weeds and trees.

This made Rosetta even more strange feeling of being watched, as if these fox statues all had life.

"I've heard that Inari Shrine doesn't seem to be so effective from the beginning?"

Suddenly, he asked Reiko Arakawa as if he had a feeling in his heart.

As a professional habit of a reporter, let Reiko Arakawa check the information about Inari Shrine before she came, she raised her head, touched her chin and said: "It seems that this is the case, yes, it is said that in the eighties, this Inari Shrine was just a nameless small shrine around Antgawa City, but until a few years ago, the current chief priestess mistress succeeded to the throne-"

"Here we are."

Suddenly, a cold and clean girl's voice sounded.

It was one of the shrine maidens who walked in front of the two and led the way, and belonged to this Inari Shrine.

"Passing through the last torii gate means leaving the worldly world, and everything in the shrine is under the watchful eye of the god Inari, and I ask the two guests not to maintain a pious and solemn heart."

The white-clothed hakama-clothed shrine maiden stopped, turned around, and whispered, "After knowing Miss Arakawa's intentions, the chief priestess has promised to personally perform the 'Demon Cleansing Ceremony' for you, and next, please follow me to the dance hall and meet Lord Anxin-in." ”

For the first time, Rosetaca turned her head to look at Reiko Arakawa, and she whispered, "It was Uncle Takeshita who recommended this shrine to me and the contact information of Lord Anxin-in, but I don't know that she decided to come to preside over the ceremony for us in person, and I want me to refuse it now?" ”

"No, you don't."

Rosetta shook her head.

If the chief priestess of Inari Shrine is really the same kind of person as him, it is too late to leave, so it is better to come and see what kind of attitude she has.

"Please lead the way, Miss Miko, in front."

"Well, but the inside of the shrine is a solemn place, so please don't look around when the two guests follow me."

The white-clothed hakama-clothed shrine maiden nodded slightly, reminded her, and then led the way in front of them, leading them into the depths of Inari Shrine, not far in front of a wooden hall.

"The dance hall is a place where kagura dances are offered to the gods, and the Lord of Anxin-in Temple is holding a demon cleansing ceremony for the two guests inside, and I, as an ordinary shrine maiden, can only be sent here, so please go in by yourself."

Hearing the shrine maiden's instructions, Rosetta nodded and didn't speak, then grabbed Reiko Arakawa's white wrist and walked forward.

Until the distance with the shrine maiden, there is already some way, and the other party should not be able to hear clearly.

At this time, Rosetta let go of Reiko Arakawa's wrist, and then slowly slowed down her pace and said in a low voice, "Okay, now Miss Arakawa, you can tell me what happened at Inari Shrine a few years ago." ”
