I really can't control myself

Late at night in Tokyo, a luxury car was driving on the street. The driver was Alice Nakiri's personal bodyguard Kurokiba Ryo, and the people sitting in the car were Alice Nakiri and Takaoka Usuke.

After a while, the car stopped in front of an antique shop with a sign saying "Sanshoya" on the old commercial street.

That's right, they came to see Aizen, and when they saw the antique shop in front of them, Nakiri Alice was quite surprised.

She had met Aizen before at the Furuyama Shrine and had no idea when Aizen opened an antique shop.

For some reason, when seeing this store, Alice Nakiri always felt that something was going to happen today. After all, Aizen had never told them these things before.

"Is it here?" Takaoka Usuke looked at the antique shop in front of him with some surprise. He didn't expect that Mr. Aizen would live in seclusion in such a shop. Who could have guessed this? No wonder no one could find this high priest.

He didn't know that even the two disciples of Aizen next to him had never been here. Aizen had just told Alice Nakiri this.

"Let's go." Nakiri Alice didn't explain much. She guessed that Aizen wanted to show some cards to them today, otherwise he wouldn't have let them come here.

Although the store was closed and it was still dark inside, Alice Nakiri still went up to knock on the door. It was already past 10 o'clock in the evening, and basically all the stores in the old commercial street were closed, and there were no customers, so there was no one else around.

Not long after, the door opened. But it wasn't Aizen who opened the door, and there was no one behind the door. Only a voice said, "Come in."

The three of them were not too surprised and walked in directly.

The inside of the store was quite normal. It looked like an ordinary antique store from the front. There were all kinds of strange little objects on the shelves, which were usually bought for home decoration. However, there was no one in the store at this time, but they did see a light on at the back of the store, which probably meant for them to go to the back of the store.

The three of them followed the light and soon saw the man standing in front of them.

"Teacher." Upon seeing Aizen, Alice Nakiri immediately bowed to greet him. Even Kurokiba Ryo next to her was quite respectful.

After all, Aizen looks quite respectful with glasses. When they were getting along before, Aizen played the role of an amiable teacher, and even made a very arrogant person like Kurokiba Ryo respect him unusually.

"Hello, Mr. Aizen." Although Takaoka Usuke next to him had never seen Aizen, he knew at this time that the Mr. that Nakiri Alice was calling must be Aizen, so he immediately lowered his head and put on a very humble attitude.

"Come down with me first." Aizen didn't say much, just waved to the three people.

"Come down?" The three were stunned, but at this moment a flash of light suddenly appeared behind Aizen, and then an entrance that was obviously leading downwards appeared.

Obviously, none of the three had expected that such an old-fashioned wooden house actually had a basement, and it seemed that it was hidden by Aizen's magic. Could it be that there was some secret underground?

Alice Nakiri felt that her premonition was right. It seemed that the teacher finally wanted to reveal something to them today. He guessed that there was probably some kind of feud or conflict between their Gushan Shrine and the Ryuhu Mountain that Linton mentioned.

He had asked Aizen this question before, but Aizen didn't tell her anything related to it. After all, Linton had a good relationship with them at that time, so she didn't ask any more questions.

But the relationship between the two sides has now completely deteriorated, and it seems that Aizen is going to fight back against Linton. This is probably the reason why he asked them to come here tonight.

But what's a bit strange is that he and Kurokiba Ryo are from the Furuyama Shrine, but what about Takaoka Usuke next to him? He is not one of them.

Naturally, Alice Nakiri reported everything about Takaoka Usuke to Aizen, including his claim of predictive power and the earthquake he predicted, and even her own guess that he was the spokesperson for some force.

And now he hasn't even officially joined their Koyama Shrine, but Aizen directly took him into the underground, which should be the headquarters of Koyama Shrine. Isn't this inappropriate?

However, Nakiri Alice thought so and did not say anything. In her opinion, Aizen must have his own considerations. This gentleman is always calm and composed, as if he has a way to deal with everything.

The three of them went down the stairs to the underground place. To their surprise, the underground setting was... quite modern.

They thought they would see some kind of underground shrine or something. After all, they were the power of the Ancient Mountain Shrine, so even if a huge statue of a god appeared underground, they could accept it.

But the place they came to looked like... an underground laboratory. Yes, it was a place that looked like a scientific research institute. When they entered the door, they first saw a relatively empty room, and then in the room next to it, they saw things that looked like various scientific instruments.

How can I describe this place? It's totally incompatible with the profession of a priest. It feels a bit out of place just looking at it.

"You are Takaoka Usuke." Aizen had already sat down in the front seat. He looked at Takaoka Usuke and asked, "You said that you are being hunted by Linton... Is that right?"

"Yes." Takaoka Yusuke said, "In fact, in more than 10 minutes, at 10:41, Linton will appear and kill me."

"Is this what you saw using your ability of prophecy?" Aizen asked with a smile.

"Yes, it is my ability." Takaoka Usuke admitted directly.

"Well... apart from this incident, did you see anything else? Anything related to Linton?" Aizen asked.

"No, I only saw the scene of him killing me. It must be because I died after that, and of course I couldn't see any other content of the prophecy. But... if sir could save me, I should be able to see more things." Takaoka Usuke seemed to know what Aizen wanted to ask, and said it directly in advance.

In his opinion, Aizen's personal appearance was undoubtedly due to his "prophetic ability". Of course, if Aizen could really save him, he could indeed rely on his simulation ability to pretend to be a prophet, and he would not be afraid of being exposed.

"Then can't you see any picture now?" Aizen asked.

"Maybe it's because the disaster hasn't passed yet, so I really can't see anything." Takaoka Usuke explained vaguely.

"That's... such a pity." Aizen said with a smile, "If you could see it in advance, I guess your expression would be quite wonderful."

"Huh?" Takaoka Usuke was stunned. What did this mean?

As they were talking, the orange light of a portal suddenly lit up nearby, and a figure that made the three of them open their mouths in astonishment walked out of the portal.
