"According to the prevailing view, our world has been under the watchful eye of 'hell' since the Great Devilish Panic of 1837. And in order to invade our world, more than a hundred hell gates have appeared before and after, becoming a passage connecting the material world and the dimension of hell. From this point of view, Mt. Kagura is one of the entrances chosen by the demons. Zhang Su said slowly.

"We have to close these gates of hell, but there are many demons left behind in each door, because with every door lost, it is very difficult for them to open a new door...... That's why we built a human defense plan, and kept closing the gates, reducing them to the sixty-six gates of hell that they have today...... And why can't Mt. Kagura be the next hell gate we close? "Mitsuhashi Yumichi.

"We need four things." Zhang Su said cautiously.

"Funding." Mihashi pondered, "It is used to buy supplies, recruit manpower, bribe dignitaries, and prepare logistics supplies. ”

"Permission." Zhang Su added, "In addition to Edith's approval, we also need to seek recognition from the Human Defense Program itself. ”

"Witch." "The only way to overcome the Gates of Hell now is to send out the 'ritual' that has broken the position more than four times and perform the sealing ritual to close the Gate. ”

"Intelligence." Zhang Su finally said, "Find out which demons are guarding the gates of hell and how to defeat them, and then we can sweep them away in one fell swoop." ”

"I can go and raise money and apply to the headquarters of the king, and there are other like-minded people in the Dongming Congress who are willing to support this kind of work." Yu Mitsuhashi pondered.

"I asked for the help of the witch on Edith's side, and she was willing to let me be the pioneer of the fourth extramural investigation, and I would personally walk through the walls of the East Continent to investigate the gates of hell and assess the possibility of success." Zhang Su nodded.

"What if you find the gates of hell unbrought?" Yu Mitsuhashi asked.

"In that case, the most rational thing to do is to take everyone out of here, scatter the remaining wealth, and give everyone peace of mind about the future outside the hospital, even if it is a few years of peaceful birthday, but that is just the countdown to the end. So even if the gates of hell can't be sealed, I have to seek a chance to turn defeat into victory, because I want to protect the peace of mind, this is my home. Zhang Su said calmly.

They glanced at each other, and Zhang Su felt that Mihashi's gaze gradually became clear and determined. Probably after the Lalujie incident, this person's heart has also been tempered more resolutely.

Zhang Su and Mihashi discussed for several hours, discussing the details and gradually finalizing the plan.

As the setting sun dyed the office a dull gold, Mihashi listened to many of Zhang's insights and was impressed by his resolute character.

“…… I think that although the feasibility has not been fully demonstrated, at least it is a little bit of a sign of it. "I have to go back to New Tokyo, and if there is any progress, I will definitely come back to Ansin-in." ”

"Where's Lalujie?" Zhang Su asked.

"If it's for the holster, the person who changes it will do. But I now find that Laluje is my weakness, a witness to my weakness and emptiness, and keeping her may make me more vigilant. She's not a good person, but I'm not clean either, maybe it's better not to see each other, how about a deal? As long as you let Lalujie stay here, I will give you an additional investment of 10 million yen every month, which should be used to make up for the trouble she has caused. "Mitsuhashi Yumichi.

"It's a matter of duty." Zhang Su nodded, "We will contain the witch, maybe in 10 years, Lalujie can be transformed into a healthier person than now." Although she is only a mature witch, her magic is very useful. ”

"I think it's hard, there are too many variants of rejoicing, some leaning towards true joy, and Laluje's rejoicing...... But it's to trigger that kind of dirty thought. Isn't there not enough fertility now? It was proposed that Laloujie be tied to a high-powered emitter, and soon there would be a baby boom, but the problem was not birth, but raising. Mitsuhashi shook his head.

With a little restraint, she might be able to work in the news media in New Tokyo like the other Witches of Joy. Their words can turn the most appalling tragic news into a hilarious comedy. Zhang Su said.

"Yes, I have to go back, back to that glitzy new Tokyo. It's good that you can stay in such a quiet and peaceful place. Mitsuhashi got up.

"I'll take you to the door." Zhang Su led the way.

"Please." Mihashi Yu followed Zhang Su.

Leaving the prison building, they walked out the door in the cool breeze of the night.

On the cherry blossom trail, Yu Mitsuhashi sees Yoshiyo Akasawa and Roy the robot.

"Ah, it took me a lot of effort to stop her." Roy said.

Akasawa Yoshiyo held a hoe, and although she tried to suppress it for several days, she still wanted to kill Yu Mihashi, so she ambushed here.

"I'm fed up, I really want to teach you a lesson on behalf of the common people and kill you." Akasawa Yoshiyo said hatefully.

"So are you a representative of the people, a judge, and an executioner? I wouldn't dare to have such a title at the same time. "Mitsuhashi Yumichi.

"You're a moth that sucks the blood on the people." Yoshiyo Akasawa said.

"Calm down, you're in custody right now." Mihashi Yu put his hands behind his back, "If you attack me again and the charges are confirmed, you will be executed immediately, and all your dreams will be in vain." ”

"I'll kill you." Yoshiyo Akasawa took a deep breath.

Mitsuhashi groaned.

“…… I want to complete the reconstruction of Dongming and build it into a new country with clear officials, harmonious politics, and rapid economic development. While these promises may sound empty, if I become Prime Minister, I will try to fulfill them. Mihashi said in a deep voice to Yoshiyo Akasawa.

"You're just talking to them, and you're just talking nice." Yoshiyo Akasawa asked Roy to let go of her, and she put the hoe on her shoulder again, bowed her head and went to the cafeteria, where she didn't know how many rice balls there were for dinner.

"Wait." Zhang Suhu said, "Miss Jiashi, are you willing to go to Kagura Mountain to hunt demons?" The magic of war is suppressed in a peaceful society, but the Great Campaign against the Devil requires your strength. ”

Fighting demons?

If it was to seal the gates of hell, Yoshiyo Akasawa would also temporarily put aside his suspicions and work hard. After all, if the human race loses to the demons, the Dongming Kingdom will be devoured by the demons, and everything will be meaningless.

Yoshiyo Akasawa raised his hoe high, indicating that his kendo was not yet rusty, and then walked away.

“…… The magic of war is used to destroy demons, but it's just right. If she had made a meritorious service, perhaps she would have been spared the death penalty. Mitsuhashi said.

In order to seal the gates of hell, they must have strong combat power, and Akasawa Yoshiyo has the way to "war", and even a witch who breaks the throne once, and the force is terrifying.

"She just said, 'I'm going to kill you.'" Zhang Su said.

Mihashi puffed out his chest.

"If I fail to govern well after being elected, she is welcome to kill me." He said.

"Goodbye, then." Zhang Su sent Mihashi Yu out, and the fate line on his body was originally white, but now it has become red.

"Thank you." Yu Mihashi leaves Anxin-in.

After dinner, Zhang Su went to the office to study the gate of hell on Kagura Mountain.

In 1873, a farmer noticed a vision at the top of Mt. Kagura, and he wrote in his record that "a crack, about three meters above the ground, shone purple and crimson, occasionally flashing, and it was very hot to the touch." It didn't pay attention at the time.

It is like a dark spot on the teeth, it feels ordinary when you first look at it in the mirror, and it expands into a cavity after more than ten years.

Over the next two centuries, the gates of hell on Mount Kagura erupted several times, and the rifts completely erupted and spread, forming the entrance between the human world and the hell, and at the other end of the gate was a huge "hell" world, full of boiling water, cracked sun, and an environment where humans could not live, as well as endless demons.

The "Dongzhou Wall" project will be built by the Dongzhou Industrial Group of the Lianwu family in 2050, aiming to seal the gates of hell on Mount Kagura.

With a total length of more than 25,000 meters, the project is the first line of defense against demonic invasion, and the main body is made of tungsten carbide bricks, which is enough to resist the attack of extra-large and powerful demons.

A large number of electromagnetic railguns are deployed along the walls, ready to bombard the invaders, each of which is deployed on armored turrets, which move back and forth like trains on the "railroad" at the top of the wall, and when necessary, they can all be concentrated in specific sections to saturate the demon legions.

In addition, every 1 mile there is a "Soul Crusher" main turret equipped with a high-energy laser array, a strategic weapon with a record of defeating boss-level demons with a single shot.

The structure is indestructible and the defense is strong. Zhang Su thought bitterly.

But half a year later, it collapsed in the "Kagurayama Rebellion", like a toy that fell down with a push. All the defense techniques on paper, all are as fragile as paper!

The "Wall of Dongzhou", which was built by consuming the industrial output value of Dongming Kingdom for a whole year, was directly destroyed by a large number of demons, and there was no money to repair it for the next 4 years. More than 10,000 defenders were slaughtered to the bone, and all their souls became food for the demons. This was the Kagurayama Rebellion.

Then there was the real natural disaster 4 years later, and the number and strength of the demons increased by more than a hundredfold.

There is also the underground Tsukikahime...... In the final analysis, we still have to take advantage of the fact that the demon is not powerful and find a way to close the gate of hell on Mount Kagura.

In this way, at least you don't have to be directly hit in the face by the demon. The gate of hell on Mount Kagura is only 30 kilometers away from Anxin-in.

But why is the wall of Dongzhou so fragile? Zhang Su was puzzled.

Is it because the people of the Lianwu family are cheating and slippery, and they are shoddy? Or is there a traitor in the defenders, or is there a new variant of the demon? In his previous life, he didn't know anything about the truth, and now that he has the opportunity to take the initiative to investigate, he wants to know the answer.

In his thoughts, the phone on the desk rang, and he picked it up to answer it.

"Hello, this is Anxin Hospital." Zhang Su said.

"I'm Chiyo Fujikawa." Chiyo Fujikawa's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Chiyo! Zhang Su hadn't heard her voice for a long time, and he felt a little relieved at this time. At least Fujikawa Chiyo avoided the fate of being directly assassinated in his previous life and lived until almost May.

"Are you okay?" Zhang Su said.

"I live in the dojo where I used to practice, and the dojo teacher here taught me ninjutsu when I was a child, so I can be trusted. I'm keeping a low profile at the moment, and while it's not quite what I originally thought, I don't have a choice until I come up with the next move. Chiyo Fujikawa explained.

"Did Saburo's men get you in trouble?"

"Not yet, but it's only a matter of time, now that I've left the protection of Anxinin, Saburo will chase me after me, and he wants me dead so he can take control of the Fujikawa group." Chiyo Fujikawa.

"What about going back to the Anxin Hospital? I also have some tasks on my side. Zhang Su thought of the magic of "thunder and lightning" of Chiyo Fujikawa.

The characteristic of the lightning path is that even witches with ordinary strength can kill people with high-voltage electricity, which is a particularly dangerous kind.

The Thunderbolt Witch, who has broken the position many times, directly drives the electromagnetic rotation of hundreds of thousands of horses, and the efficiency of killing demons is extremely high.

"I appreciate your offer, but I can't hide behind the wall forever. I'm still the de jure leader of the Fujikawa group, and I have to face the threat head-on. ”

"Please think again, it's more important to be alive."

"I understand, but I don't want to back down, and here, I'm closer to New Tokyo, so I have the opportunity to slowly reconnect with those who are loyal to me." Fujikawa Chiyo said with a glance.

Very obsessed with independence, Zhang Su meditated. Indeed, this is Chiyo Fujikawa.

"Stay safe, it's better to hand over the legacy of the Fujikawa gumi to someone like you." Zhang Su said.

Chiyo Fujikawa is at least an upright and sincere person. And her uncle Saburo is very threatening, if Saburo is in charge of the Fujikawa group, I am afraid that the underground world of New Tokyo will become even more dirty.

"Thank you. In addition, I have the dojo assign you a ninja to send you in the future. I'm afraid it's on your side now. Chiyo Fujikawa.

Night.

Katie awoke from her golden dreams, smelling the unfamiliar, and she stepped out of her lair and staggered out.

"Come for a shift change? It just so happened that I was tired from standing, too. Just kidding, metal never gets tired. "Roy is on duty at the door.

Katie pointed outside, where a figure was approaching in the darkness.

The other party was dressed in black, with a black mask on her face, and she could barely see her figure clearly, only a pair of eyes with a slight blue light.

"Good evening, welcome! Come and see our famous Attraction? Roy stepped forward.

"......" The woman in black stared calmly at the entrance of the Anxin Courtyard without saying a word.

"I'm a greeter and PR representative at Anxin Hospital, how can I help you?" Roy bowed.

"It's rude, the first time we met, I'm Shuili." The woman in black sent a greeting.

"Ninja, how could a ninja be ......here," Katie frowned.

"It's for Zhang Su." Shuili said.
