I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo

Chapter 23 Chapter 23 A great scholar will debate the classics for me

university hospital,

"Inspection Minister Teng Shengzi."

"I'm just, what's the matter?"

The mature policewoman sitting on the bench outside the operating room raised her head and looked blankly at the government worker in a black suit in front of her.

"I am a member of the 'Public Security'."

The other party took out his ID and first identified himself.

"I need to know more about the previous 'case' from you, please follow me."

Public security, although the public security of the island country is also affiliated with the Police Bureau of the Metropolitan Police Department. But their nature is different from ordinary police. They are mainly responsible for handling cases that threaten the national system: such as cults, spies, terrorist attacks, etc. Law enforcement powers are also very broad, including the power of arrest, compulsory search, etc.

"Okay, but it's Mayi's surgery."

"Don't worry, we will notify you as soon as there is any progress in Kawai Mayi's surgery."

Since the other party said so, Teng Shengzi cheered up and followed the public security member and left the hospital.

Her young junior 'inspector' Kawai Mayi was hit in the head by flying building debris and is currently being rescued on the operating table.

After getting into the police car and walking through the sparsely trafficked streets behind traffic control, Teng Shengzi was still in a daze. On the one hand, it was because his colleague was seriously injured and unconscious, and on the other hand:

monster!

Or use your boss, the Otaki Police Department,

Description of words spoken unintentionally:

Extraordinary creature!

This kind of thing in movies and animations actually exists?

Although various tokusatsu dramas and monster anime are specialties of the island country, actually encountering this kind of "unscientific" existence in life is still very challenging to people's outlook.

"coming?"

He was taken to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Headquarters by members of the public security department.

After a series of complicated inspections, Teng Shengzi came to a conference room in the building.

When she saw the face of the man waving to her, the mature policewoman subconsciously raised her chest, raised her head, and stood at attention in salute.

"Director Zhuya!"

"Don't be formal, come over here."

As her boss's boss's boss's boss, this middle-aged man who commanded nearly 50,000 police officers did not have any "dominance", but casually motioned for Teng Shengzi to come forward.

"I will explain to you in detail what happened today."

"yes!"

Teng Shengzi recalled clearly what happened today while recalling it in his mind.

At the same time, his eyes swept behind the director:

A gang leader wearing a leather jacket and crossing her arms.

There are also several old men dressed as priests wearing white Liwu hats and white hunting clothes, holding wooden scepters; there are also old monks wearing solemn clothes, holding rosary beads and holding rosary beads.

This scene made Teng Shengzi even more convinced.

As expected, the officials knew that monsters, no, were supernatural beings!

In addition to Teng Shengzi's description, there is also a 'law enforcement recorder' on her body, which also continuously plays the scene footage on the large projector next to it.

"What do the masters think?"

After Teng Shengzi finished speaking,

Director Zhuya turned around and asked the priests and monks behind him.

These people are all top figures in Tokyo's "folklore circle", or are the priests of Meiji Jingu Shrine, or the priests of Yushima Tenmangu Shrine, or the abbots of Sensoji Temple. Facing the questioning of the director of the Metropolitan Police Department, each one of them was confused. Inscrutable and calm.

However, in their hearts, these Shinto and Buddhist bigwigs were already scolding each other.

What do you think?

Let's stand and watch!

To be honest, these people,

No one believes in the existence of "gods and Buddhas".

In their understanding, the so-called gods and Buddhas should be more of a 'philosophical concept', a 'method of practice', and a 'life attitude', rather than a real existence.

In fact, this is the ‘scientific’ concept of gods and Buddhas. The existence of worship: Whether it is the emperor, famous ministers, or Buddha and Bodhisattva, they are just pioneers on the road of life. Practitioners analyze their concepts and use them to advise the world - in some sense, they are the same as those in textbooks. 'Philosophers' are no different.

But today, their "three views" were shattered all over the ground!

The police came to the door and invited them to discuss 'national affairs' and provide guidance on 'extraordinary events'.

If he hadn't cultivated his qi well enough, these priests and hosts would have cursed.

We have been practicing all our lives and have never seen even half a ghost!

Now let us take part in some extraordinary event.

What era are you in? Are you talking about science?

However, after arriving——

Are there really monsters? !

"From what I can see, this strange fish is actually an 'earthquake catfish'."

Seeing that everyone was silent, the priest of Yushima Tenmangu Shrine spoke first and pointed at the black fish on the projector screen.

Yushima Tenmangu Shrine is located in Bunkyo District, close to Todai; it is dedicated to 'Sugawara Michizane', a minister famous for his knowledge in history. Whenever the Yushima White Plum Blossoms bloom in the park, many candidates who want to pass the exam and flower appreciators come here.

It is said that as long as you touch the copper bull in the palace, you can receive the blessing of 'literary energy' - the smooth copper bull is the trace left by countless college students.

As a shrine dedicated to the 'God of Learning', this 'God Lord' is naturally full of knowledge and well-informed.

"It is said in ancient times that the four kingdoms are supported by a giant catfish. If the catfish doesn't like it, if its tail moves, there will be earthquakes."

". Before the 6.9-magnitude earthquake occurred in Tokyo in 1855, Shinozaki discovered a large number of usually rare catfish while fishing and predicted the earthquake; before the 8.3-magnitude earthquake occurred in Tokyo in 1923, there was also an abnormal migration of a large number of catfish schools."

Quoting scriptures and combining ancient and modern times, the god became more and more sure of his point of view.

"Everyone, please look at this fish monster. It is an extraordinary creature with a wide mouth and long whiskers and round fins. It is exactly like a catfish."

"I see,"

Hearing this, Director Zhuya was thoughtful.

The legend that catfish can predict earthquakes is quite popular in the island country. Combined with the abilities displayed by this extraordinary creature, it is also in line with the judgment of the ‘divine master’ of Yushima Tenmangu Shrine.

"Amitabha, according to the poor monk's observation, this flaming skull is the cause of the 'karma fire'."

After the abbot of Sensoji Temple announced the Buddhist title in a low voice, he also opened his mouth to join the discussion.

"The original fire is the ghost fire that was turned into ghost fire by the person who stole lamp oil from the temple during his lifetime and was punished by the Buddha after his death."

"According to the on-site investigation, this demon was born from the leak of 'natural gas', which is in line with Ye's original fire nature."

According to ancient folklore, Ye Yuanhuo was born by stealing lamp oil.

Now, it becomes a demon by absorbing ‘natural gas’.

Is this reasonable? Of course in the river!

The masters spoke to each other, making Director Zhuya nodded slightly.

He is indeed an expert and has a few brushes. So:

"Do you have any ideas on how to retreat?"

Ah this

Upon hearing this question, several priests and eminent monks shut up.

If they really have extraordinary power, how can they come to the police station just by being summoned?

After all, they are just ‘ordinary people’. Although I can make friends with a few well-established "good believers" on weekdays, when it comes time to show off my real skills, I can't help but be fooled on the spot.

"I made a mistake,"

One look at the faces of these 'experts', Director Zhuya knew that they did not have extraordinary powers.

"Mr. Zhuya,"

Seeing that everyone had nothing to say, the Priest of Meiji Shrine slowly spoke.

"In this 'Arakawa Machiya Incident', in addition to the 'Earthquake Catfish' and 'Yehara Fire' that caused damage, this person——"

The old priest raised his hand and pointed at the figure surrounded by water on the screen.

"But you people from the Metropolitan Police Department?"

"no,"

Director Zhuya shook his head. If the Metropolitan Police really had extraordinary power, why would he gather these 'experts' in the hope that they would have 'real skills' among them.

"Then, why not try to recruit this 'Rain Girl'?"

The old priest took advantage of the situation and put forward his own idea.

"Holding an umbrella and controlling the water flow, this is the 'Rain Girl'."

"Unlike Earthquake Catfish and Ye Yuanhuo, 'Rain Girl' can communicate: the policewoman's orders made the other party pause slightly."

Of course, the other party ignored the threat of firearms and left directly; but this has shown that there is indeed the possibility of communication with the other party.

And the other party didn’t kill anyone on the spot, whether it was because ‘Rain Girl’ didn’t kill women, or for other reasons

It’s enough for the Metropolitan Police Department to try to contact.

"I want it too, but"

"Do you have any means of locating and tracking me?"

Faced with this question, the 'master' naturally continued to shake his head.

There are so many cameras in the Metropolitan Police Department, but you come here to ask us. Isn’t this embarrassing!

"That's the most troublesome part,"

Director Zhuya spread his hands, feeling quite helpless.

"Every time the other party appears, it is accompanied by thick fog, and it is difficult for the police to grasp its whereabouts."

Speaking of which, the police actually still have an 'extraordinary creature' on their hands: the Shiba Inu left behind by Tanimura Watari.

Eat and drink well every day, and perform various high-intensity exercises under the command of the trainer.

Strength, speed, reaction, etc. are all constantly improving steadily, as if there is no such thing as a 'bottleneck'.

This completely subverted the common sense of biologists and caused those Nobel Prize winners to spend sleepless nights and sleep in research, trying to find out the source of the other party’s ‘demon power’.

"Then please forgive me for my incompetence."

The exchange with the 'expert' came to an end, Director Zhuya turned his head and looked at the mature policewoman Teng Shengzi.

"Inspection Minister Teng, in view of the special nature of this incident and your contribution. The Metropolitan Police Department has decided to promote you to the police department and join the newly established 'Special Operations Team 4'. Do you have any objections?"

"No, Director!"

Teng Shengzi, who had been serving as the backdrop, saluted and accepted the order.

In fact, she knew very well that she had no right to refuse at all!

Everything she heard and saw in this office was already beyond her common sense. She knew it all with her toes. If she refused, the only thing waiting for her would be imprisonment.

"Director, if I join, will I have access to extraordinary power?"

Facing this impatient subordinate who had just been promoted, Director Zhuya pushed up his glasses, and the flat lenses reflected a white light.

"Will do."

Nakano District,

"Is this Nagisa-san's home?"

After getting out of the dark luxury car, squad leader Nao raised her hand to cover her mouth, but her surprised tone could not be concealed.

In front of you is a classical Japanese-style manor: the wooden walls full of "historical" atmosphere extend tens of meters to the left and right, and the "Nagisa Garden" plaque with flying dragons and phoenixes hangs on the main entrance, full of traces of time.

The appearance of such a classical manor in the "countryside" can barely be explained.

But, this is Tokyo!

Let’s not talk about the interior of this ancient manor, just the area is enough to scare people.

If it is flattened, I wonder how many buildings can be built? If those who live in the ‘capsule apartment’ see this, they can really use that sentence to describe it: the toilet is bigger than their entire home!

“Are you Yiye’s friend?”

A gentle voice sounded, and a dignified woman walked out of the side door.

If you only look at her appearance, the first impression of this woman is that she is in her twenties; but her gentle and mature temperament makes people feel that she should be in her thirties; however, in fact, she is already a middle-aged woman in her forties.

“Welcome to my humble home.”

Face Yingying saluted, elegant and quiet.

“This is my mother,”

As Nagisa Yiye raised her hand to introduce, Qiu Riyou and others returned the greeting.

“Hello, auntie,” X4

“You’re welcome, come in.”

Mrs. Nagisa smiled and invited everyone in, but Qiu Riyou noticed that Tian Nuying avoided the lady’s eyes and did not dare to look at her.

"This is Yiye's room. Don't worry too much. Just treat it as your own home."

Passing through the courtyard full of flowers, Mrs. Nagisa led everyone to the front of the 'Yipian' building.

"Yiye, entertain the students."

"I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, the lady, who showed no signs of aging at all, turned and left.

"Nagisa's mother is so gentle."

Pushing her glasses, a trace of envy flashed in the eyes of class monitor Nao.

"Huh?"

"Aren't all mothers like this?"

The others present were speechless at the eldest lady's 'naimeng' question.

Not at all!

The parents of class monitor Nao's family have been in a cold war for more than ten years.

The two of the Akihi family have been busy with work for many years. Recently, they took time to travel, but...

As for Tiannvying, who lives alone in the shrine, Akihiyou noticed her gaze and was secretly looking at Mrs. Nagisa who was leaving, with envy in her eyes.

"Please come in, everyone."

Pull open the wooden door of the room, revealing a spacious room full of music and various models of violins hanging on the wall.

"This is where I practice violin. Isn't it a little cramped?"

"No, no, no,"

Facing a young lady who has no common sense, Qiu Riyou waved her hand.

"This is already larger than the area of ​​our house."

"Isn't this a bedroom?"

"Oh, the sleeping place is behind the study."

Hearing the young lady's matter-of-fact answer, even the class monitor Nao couldn't help but push her glasses again.

The gap between people is really bigger than the gap between people and dogs! This made Iai Nao, who has always been excellent in both character and learning, couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

She has a clear understanding of herself. After graduation, as long as she passes the civil servant II exam, she will be considered successful. Although the salary of a lifetime of hard work may only buy an apartment, if it is Heyou

She secretly looked at Qiu Riyou, but met Qiu Riqiong's cold eyes.

In the other party's cold snort, the class monitor turned his face awkwardly.
