I teach kendo in Tokyo

"The leader of the Kuki group is Kuki Heihachirou?"

Kazuma frowned slightly, and after receiving confirmation from Nishikiyama, he looked up at Kurosaki, and both parties nodded in tacit understanding.

Kuki Heihachiro was cut down by Kazuma when he was blocking the mountain road, but the Kuki team still organized this night attack on Kiryu Dojo.

This proves that someone has long replaced Kuuki Heihachiro in giving orders to the Kuuki group, and it is self-evident as to who it is.

Objectively speaking, Yakuza gangs are also organizational entities, but organizational entities must have strongholds to meet their command and dispatch needs.

Just like the Geumsan-gumi's development office, the organizational base is also the center from which its leader issues orders. In other words, the mastermind behind the scenes is most likely hiding near the Kyuuki group's stronghold.

"Caught."

The corners of Kazuma's mouth curved slightly, then he picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

**

However, Martha did not take immediate action, and the banquet did not end until late at night.

The entry "Dojo Mistress (temporary)" on Chiyoko's head is still shining.

Considering the urinary properties of the system, Kazuma estimated that until Chiyoko gets married, or until he marries his wife, the entry will semi-permanently bless his sister, which makes Kazuma speechless.

But in fact, Chiyoko herself works very hard in training, and her affection for the dojo is far greater than that of Kazuma.

This time the Kuki Team invaded the Kiryu Dojo, it stimulated the tigress in her heart, and it was quite logical for her to step through the door of one body of mind skills and obtain the official certification of the hostess (temporarily).

Masha knows better than anyone else how hard Chiyoko has put in—whether it’s academics, kendo, or love.

Because of this, he looked pleased, and at the same time secretly reminded himself that if anything happened in the dojo in the future, he must not make Chiyoko angry.

With the Jinshan Team helping to deal with the aftermath, the night attack on the dojo by the Nine Ghost Team was dismissed as an ordinary armed fight between gangs.

The drunk Nishikiyama Heita was kidnapped by his men that night, and Chiyoko also went out to school after dawn.

Kazuma also yawned and went back to the room to get some sleep, but Mizu was woken up by Seiryu not long after, saying that there was progress on Tamamo's side.

Kazuma followed Seiryu to the living room and saw Kurosaki waiting there early.

The materials for the door-opening experiment were piled messily in the living room, and there were also many hand-drawn papers.

In front of the coffee table, Tamamo frowned and stared at the drawings on the manuscript paper. When Kazuma walked in, she happened to yawn slightly, showing a rare lazy and sleepy look.

"How's the situation?" Kazuma sat down in front of the coffee table and looked at his fox with some distress.

"Well, I think I've probably figured it out." Tamamo put down the manuscript and rubbed her temples with her fingers.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, teacher." Not far away, Kurosaki bowed his head and saluted Tamamo.

When Kazuma introduced Tamamo to Kurosaki earlier, he said that she was an expert in mysterious side affairs. After that, Kurosaki became extremely respectful to "Jinguji-sensei".

Originally, things related to the mysterious side were not suitable for ordinary people to know, but Kurosaki himself was a victim of the door-opening experiment and had also fought against Genji Shigehiro, so he made an exception and allowed him to participate in the discussion.

However, the content of the discussion is required to be kept confidential, and core secrets such as Tamamo's true identity will not be involved.

"That bastard Shigehiro Genji did it very covertly. I watched it many times before I noticed... Tsk, I don't think that stone-headed guy can come up with such a clever disguise. It was probably helped by Fuzhi Technology. "

Tamamo let out a sigh mixed with resentment and handed Kurosaki a piece of paper with numbers written on it.

"I'll show you...Kurosaki-kun, can you help me fast forward the video to these times?"

"Yes." Kurosaki took the manuscript and ran to the video recorder, lowering his head to operate it.

Cassette tapes are a commonly used image carrier in this era, and the latest video recorders that play tapes on the market already have remote control functions.

However, the video recorder in the Kiryu Dojo is a model that looks outdated even in the 1980s. Heita Nishikiyama bought it from some pawn shop.

Nishikiyama's original intention was to provide Kiryu Dojo with some advanced modern equipment, but unexpectedly this became Masa's biggest excuse for refusing Haruyu's purchase of a new video recorder.

Whenever Seiryu begged to buy a VCR to play concert tapes, Kazuma would tell her earnestly: CDs will become the latest media in the near future, and I will just make do with a broken VCR at home.

However, this "soon" may last up to ten years.

Anyway, Kazuma just tried another way to save money.

This crappy video recorder does not have an operation panel like the latest models, nor does it have the function of directly jumping the time. It can only be adjusted by winding the tape like a tape recorder.

Kurosaki Terutamo asked to fast forward the video to a certain point in time, and then the beautiful scenery of gurgling water in the forest was played on the TV.

Everyone stared at the screen attentively, and seemed to notice nothing strange after watching a paragraph.

When everyone was confused, Tamamo asked Kurosaki to play it again at one-eighth speed. Slow playback made this broken machine make a worrying noise.

After the speed slowed down this time, when everyone looked over again, they noticed something unusual in the shot between the woods and the running water.

"Huh? It seems like something flashed by?"

"That's right, the scenery is obviously different from the scenery before and after..."

"Kurosaki-kun, can you play it again? Pause the screen where the problem occurred."

Kurosaki answered "yes", and for a moment he transformed into a humanoid remote control and stood in front of the video recorder. After repeating the operation five or six times, I finally caught the fleeting image and stopped the picture at that moment.

Everyone looked up and saw a strange pattern they had never seen before displayed on the screen. The pattern was made up of twisted black lines, thick and thin, and looked like some type of talisman. The overall impression was quite ominous.

"What is this?" Kazuma asked with a frown.

"Well, it can be roughly regarded as some kind of spell that disturbs the mind. If you stare at it for too long, you will become confused or even insane. You should also be careful." Tamamo's words made everyone quickly look away from the screen and pay attention. The force returned to the fox.

"In other words, Shigehiro Genji hid the mind-disturbing spell in the video tape image, so that the experimenter was unknowingly affected?" Kazuma confirmed to Tamamo.

Biologically speaking, the dynamic image that the human eye can distinguish is about sixty turns per second. Using technical means to mix a few foreign objects that cannot be detected by the human eye into the sixty turns will make people's minds unconsciously Affected - Kazuma vaguely remembered that he had heard about similar experiments before traveling through time.

The experimenter mixed some violent killing scenes into an ordinary video. As a result, the test subjects who watched the video showed a tendency to be violent and aggressive without realizing it.

Shigehiro Genji did something similar to this, except that he replaced the violent scenes with more vicious brainwashing. As for those beautiful scenery films and soothing music, their function is probably to break down the participants' defenses, making them more receptive to the influence.

"Is there such a thing?" Qingliu's eyes widened after hearing Kazuma's explanation. This was obviously a big shock to her who loves TV dramas.

"I'm even more surprised that the police officer actually knows such a method... It should be said that he is indeed worthy of being a student at Tokyo University?" Kurosaki cast an admiring look at Kazuma.

"Well, in that case I don't need to explain any more, let's just talk about the conclusion." Tamamo flicked her fingers happily and pushed a piece of manuscript paper with spell words on it to the center of the coffee table.

"There were dozens of tampering in that video, but generally speaking there are only two types of spells. One is the kind of mind-disturbing spell just now. In fact, the actual effect of this type of spell is closer to Bury a backdoor in the mind of the participant so that the performer can later go in and perform manipulations.”

"The participants in the door-opening experiment all had a period of frequent strange dreams, and that was the dream-eating tapir... evidence of Genji Shigehiro's manipulation?" Kazuma confirmed.

"Yes, that guy is good at playing tricks on his dreams, so having a back door makes it easier for him to do whatever he wants." Tamamo nodded.

"...Ayaka was like this at that time?" Kurosaki asked in a deep voice.

"No, your Ayaka's situation is a bit special. In fact, this is what works for her." Tamamo said, pointing to another type of charm drawn on the manuscript paper, "This type of charm is used to stimulate the spiritual sense. of."

Although the mysterious laws have declined much compared with the past, as long as they are living creatures, they have hidden spiritual power. This is certainly true of humans.

That type of spell touches the potential spiritual power of the person concerned by stimulating the spiritual sense. The higher the potential spiritual power, the more likely it is that people will be stimulated, which will lead to strong discomfort.

"In the past, some shrines used this method to select shrine maidens, but it was gradually abolished because it was too troublesome to deal with the sequelae." Tamamo looked at Kurosaki and said, "Judging from the description, your daughter's potential spiritual power should be quite high, I'm afraid. Not inferior to the shrine maiden who presided over rituals in the past. This is almost a rarity in the current era, so Genji Shigehiro would not hesitate to risk abducting her... I think she will be fine. After all, it is difficult to find her replacement. .”

Hearing Tamamo's assurance, Kurosaki let out a long sigh of relief.

"Wait a minute, let me sort it out." Kazuma raised his hand and called a pause, sorting out the gathering so far, "In other words, the purpose of Genji Shigehiro's organization of the open-door experiment is to find people with potential spiritual power. people, and then bury a backdoor to control them to do something?"

Tamamo nodded and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Yes, that guy has done similar things before, but this time, the scale is unprecedented."

Kazuma and Kurosaki couldn't help but look at each other as they listened to the fox's announcement. They, who had been pursuing the matter, knew this all too well.

So far, the number of lost people on the streets of Tokyo has almost exceeded four figures, and the number of people who have participated in the door-opening experiment is tens of thousands. Although it is unknown how many psykers have been brainwashed, the scale is horrifying.

"So, what exactly is that guy planning to do with such a formation?" Hema asked in a slow tone.

"Well, this is probably what can be seen from the experimental data. As for the rest..." Tamamo shook her head, but her eyes moved to the old lacquer box at hand. Kazuma moved his eyes over and found that the lacquer box looked familiar to him.

"You used divination for the rest?" Kazuma confirmed. For a fox who has learned various techniques out of her strong curiosity, various types of divination are also her special skills. "what's the result?"

"Well, it's hard to say whether it's good or bad... Have you ever heard of 'divine magic'?" Tamamo, who was knocking on the lacquer box, suddenly threw out a term that Kazuma had never heard of.

"Seance?" What is that? Kazuma blinked.

"In the past, shrine maidens used magic to ward off demons by borrowing the power of serving the gods. Sometimes they could even partially change the laws of the world... It was quite difficult to deal with, wasn't it?" Tamamo said in a deeply touching tone, "But in modern times, The gods and monsters have been relegated to the background, and no one should be able to use the magic of deity for a long time. I am also wondering what it means..."
