Chapter 39: Change
A line separates each other, like two worlds.
Feeling the warm sunshine behind them, several exorcists who escaped from the ascension reacted, and the two ordinary people who were carried by the way hugged each other and poured out their joy.
"We survived, survived. ”
He jumped and cried and laughed, nervously cheering.
Several exorcists around them were also infected by them, and they smiled slightly, but they were more important things to do in front of them.
Several people looked at each other, suddenly walked up to Zhang Jiao, and said respectfully, "Thank you very much for saving me, sir." ”
As he spoke, several people immediately bent down and bowed, and their bodies stood in front of him at ninety degrees. The two ordinary people who were hugging and cheering also reacted immediately, hurriedly following behind the crowd, and bowed deeply almost 100 degrees.
Zhang Jiao turned sideways slightly, his head tilted slightly, his dead eyes swept over the people in front of him, and he said faintly, "Got it, get up!"
Only then did several exorcists straighten up and stand respectfully to the side, dripping cold sweat constantly oozing from the corners of their foreheads.
At the moment when Zhang Jiao's eyes swept over just now, several people immediately felt a chill, as if they were being targeted by a powerful ghost and fierce beast, so frightened that they didn't dare to gasp.
The two ordinary people in the back were even more unbearable, and their panicked bodies spasmed and collapsed directly to the ground.
Zhang Jiao didn't care about this, he turned his head to look at Kukai, and the voice in his mouth had a little echo, as if it came from a distant place.
"Master, give me the bracelet. ”
Kukai immediately held the Pixiu bracelet and handed it over. "Zhang Sang, thank you for saving me and the people, I'm sorry for your trouble. ”
As he spoke, he was about to bow and thank the scarred Kukai people.
Zhang Jiao immediately waved his hand and put the Pixiu bracelet in his hand.
The familiar feeling came again, and a roar that looked like a tiger but not a tiger immediately sounded in his ears, and a creature with two horns on his head and wings on his shoulders flashed in front of him, and it was fiercely pounced on itself.
Pixiu suppresses evil.
The bracelet was firmly worn on the left wrist, and the blood words and gray-white aura that permeated the body began to shrink and disappear, and in the blink of an eye, the inhuman anger on Zhang Jiao's body disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Jiao stared at the Pixiu on his wrist, but the jade Pixiu that was originally purple had changed color a little, and the tail end had completely turned into a dull white jade, which looked extremely incongruous.
The anger dissipated, and the people around him breathed a long sigh of relief, and the sense of panic suppressed in their hearts quietly dissipated, and the whole person seemed to be a little fresher.
Kukai stepped forward, his tone full of respect, and he no longer had the feeling of a senior pointing out a junior.
"Zhang Sang, what should we do next?"
The exorcists around them also looked at each other, as if Zhang Jiao had become their backbone and leader, even Kukai Zen Master was no exception.
Everyone quietly waited for his orders, showing the Dongying people's natural obedience to the strong to the fullest.
Zhang Jiao looked at the dark cloud-covered realm in front of him, and saw that the evil qi was full of evil spirits, and the ghost aura was permeated, and the howling wind was mixed with a damp and rotten smell of blood.
Countless dotted ghost fires scattered across the land, emitting a dark green glow.
One after another, the nascent ghosts roamed the landscape, constantly attacking everything that could move in front of it, whether it was a human, an animal, or even its own kind.
Overgrown with weeds, sparsely populated paths, and old houses, there are many strange-shaped items that occupy the territory that originally belonged to humans.
One-eyed ghosts, monsters with long hair, and even strange daily necessities such as brooms, umbrellas, and water tanks are active.
It really lives up to the name of a hundred ghosts at night.
Zhang Jiao turned around and walked down the mountain, "Let's go down the mountain first to find out if there is a phone number to contact the outside world, the cabinet, the royal family, the foundation, someone will always stand up, Hiroshima Prefecture belongs to the central part of Toei, and the big people above will not watch the country being cut in two." ”
"Hey!"
Everyone behind him bent down and nodded, chasing after him and walking down the mountain.
After descending the mountain, I didn't go far when I saw a mountain path. After walking about ten miles along the path, they came across a road that was some years old.
The highway is crowded with people with private cars and various means of transportation, and you don't need to look at it to know that you have escaped from a city in Hiroshima Prefecture.
The sound of horns, shouts, and curses was endless, and everyone urged the vehicles and pedestrians in front of them to hurry up, and the quiet and orderly they usually advertised had long been left behind.
However, it is also understandable that the demons and monsters in the legends and stories have appeared in the present world, and no one can be at peace.
Seeing that the road was impassable, Zhang Jiao immediately led several exorcists to walk from the mountains on the edge of the road, blending in with the crowd walking from the mountains.
Seeing that there were a lot of people around the road, the onmyoji in the team immediately stepped forward and whispered like Zhang Jiao.
After getting Zhang Jiao's approval, he retracted his hands into the wide sleeves of his coat, grabbed a long strip of rune paper, and secretly sealed it.
A pale cyan skunk-like creature creeped out of the rune paper in his palm, its agile eyes rolling, and its rabbit-like three-petaled mouth opened.
A pale cyan halo spread from the weasel's mouth to everyone who was traveling with them, and everyone only felt that their bodies were light, and their feet were like springs, and they could take a long distance with a single step.
The two ordinary people who had been following behind them who had been being brought out by Zhang Jiao immediately noticed that the speed of the exorcist walking in front of them suddenly increased, and in a few steps, they had already been left behind for a long distance.
The two of them immediately shouted in a hurry, "My lord, wait for me, wait for us!"
But just as they shouted, the exorcist who had traveled all the way had disappeared without a trace, leaving them among the pedestrians who were hurrying away from the roadside.
More than half an hour later, Zhang Jiao and the others finally came to the source of the vehicle blockage.
At the highway junction leaving Hiroshima Prefecture, a temporary checkpoint blocked most of the entrances and exits, and everyone had to go through a registration check before they were allowed to enter the quarantine area behind the checkpoint.
Zhang Jiao and his entourage breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the monitoring team composed of the Self-Defense Force, the Metropolitan Police Department, and many clergy, and it seemed that the upper echelons still reacted. If they continue to procrastinate like before, then I can't imagine what the consequences will be.
They didn't know that in the first time after the outbreak of the night walk of the hundred ghosts in Hiroshima Prefecture, the phone calls of the cabinet and the imperial family were about to be blown up.
The Prime Minister, who had already made an appointment with a proctologist, was dragged down from the hospital bed.
He had planned to have his colorectal cancer checked today to see if there were any signs of spread, but before he could finish the examination, he was dragged back to the cabinet meeting.
The royal family, the cabinet, the foundation, the religion, and other high-ranking figures from all sides of the East gathered together, and after a little discussion, a decision was immediately made.
Whatever it takes, this disaster will be averted.
Under the condition that the interests of all parties are in unison, Dongying, a dull machine, has been launched in a rare way, and various proposals have been adopted at an unprecedented speed and have begun to be implemented.
Personnel, finance, material and other aspects cooperated with each other to initially build a framework for response in this short period of time.
This is not the case of a nuclear power plant leak, which is on the edge and is not spreading as badly as imagined, and the worst thing is that it will be forcibly discharged into the sea and left to nature to purify itself.
However, Hiroshima Prefecture is located in the center of Toei, with a permanent population of about 2.8 million people, and once this place is really occupied by demons, then the entire Toei will be divided into two, and if these nearly 3 million people are killed by demons, the number of new demons born by their flesh and soul is unimaginable.
The entire Dongying can be renamed the Demon Country, which is something that must not be delayed.
Therefore, even civil servants such as the Self-Defense Forces were forcibly dispatched. You know, the Self-Defense Forces have a precedent of refusing to carry out rescue missions due to heavy rain, not to mention refusing the prime minister's orders and refusing to go to disaster relief when the nuclear power leak occurred.
After intercepting the checkpoint and seeing that there were government personnel directing the scene, Kukai Zen Master immediately volunteered to go over and negotiate with them.
After some negotiations, the group walked through layers of protective nets and walked into the quarantine area under the envious eyes of the people around them.
Ordinary people are accustomed to this privilege.
In a makeshift resettlement house.
As soon as Zhang Jiao washed up, the exorcist who had already escaped with him immediately served a beautiful sushi.
In this chaotic makeshift camp, I don't know where he got it from.
He didn't care about any of this, so he picked up a ball with a little mustard and put it in his mouth.
While chewing slowly, Kukai Zen Master also walked in.
As soon as he entered, several people in the room immediately looked at him.
Kukai Zen Master spread his hands, and his eyes had already seen the sushi in front of him, but he was not as casual as before, until Zhang Jiao handed over the lunch box containing the sushi, he took a piece and tasted it carefully.
"I didn't hear any specific news, but I just heard that this time the matter will be presided over by the royal family, and in addition, exorcists from all over the country have been gathered, and exorcists from various schools such as Shinto, Shugendo, Onmyoji, monks, etc., will come to ...... ”
Zhang Jiao half-leaned on the cushion, chewing the mustard-flavored sushi in his mouth, looking at the sky in the distance, listening to Kukai Zen Master babbling about the fragmentary news he had heard, and his thoughts suddenly diverged.
He suddenly thought to himself, "I may not really be a qualified tasker!" Either they have opened a Musou in Hiroshima Prefecture and entered Kakotoko's lair, or they have already mixed in with the upper echelons of the human side and implemented various plans. ”
"It's like me, I've been passive from beginning to end, and I don't seem to have much impact on the plot, I don't have the power to make a final decision, and I don't have a plan to save and prevent it, so I can only follow the development of the plot. ”
"As the fat man said, the task is there, and it will be done on its own. ”
This feeling is really uncomfortable.
Zhang Jiao lowered his head and touched his eyebrows, and his eyes became evil.
People always have to change a little, don't they?
