Truth is everywhere within range

Outside Kyoto.

Mount Atago.

Deep in the mountains, there is a space where you can look up at the stars.

The space suddenly became a little distorted.

A figure walked out of the gap in the space. Although his steps were smooth, there was a trace of fear on his face.

“I didn’t expect that guy to still be in Kyoto.”

He exclaimed, looking in the direction of Mount Hiei again.

"And that old immortal thing couldn't break through the seal, which is not good or bad."

As he muttered, he was about to leave.

suddenly.

He found a person standing behind him.

There was no feeling of proximity, the other party just stood there.

Or rather, waiting for him.

Yes, this person just stood here until he came here through special means.

The moonlight revealed half of the face from the flowing clouds, illuminating the other party's appearance.

Wearing a blue and white hunting robe and smiling harmlessly, it was Takashi Arai, the priest of Seimei Shrine.

"!"

He was about to take action subconsciously, but Arai Takashi spoke again.

"The incident on Mount Hiei has been solved. If you take action now, are you confident that you can escape the pursuit of so many adults in Kyoto?"

He was stunned for a moment, but finally suppressed his murderous intention.

"Who are you?"

He was able to predict his own escape route. Although the priest in front of him seemed weak, he seemed not to be underestimated.

"It doesn't matter who I am. I'm just an unknown chess piece. What matters is who put me here."

Arai Takashi's expression became serious at this moment, and under the moonlight, he actually looked a bit cunning like a fox.

".The one from Yin Yang Lao?"

His face turned gloomy.

Who doesn't know that this generation of Onnyangliao has produced an unparalleled genius, who is comparable to the strongest spiritual exterminator since Abe Seimei, and his divination ability is unparalleled.

Seimei Shrine has a close relationship with Onnyangryo, so it is not surprising that the priest in front of me knows that one.

"Everything that happened in Kyoto has been anticipated by my young master, including the fact that you instigated those humans who were affected by weirdness to try to break the seal. In fact, it was just to create chaos and go to the Kyoto Imperial Palace to take away such things. Of course, it also included that Weirdness will not cause catastrophe, and no one will even die in this riot."

"The most important thing in planning a conspiracy is not that it is watertight and foolproof, but that it can achieve its goal no matter what. My young master said that your conspiracy barely passed the mark compared to the one at Atsuta Shrine."

Arai Takahei spoke straightforwardly, but every time he said a sentence, the other party's face became more and more ugly.

"Young Master arranged for me to be here instead of a bunch of exterminators. I believe you can understand his intention."

"What does he want?"

He raised his eyebrows.

"He wants to play a game of chess with you."

Arai Takashi smiled.

"Playing chess?"

He froze.

This was the first time a human said such words to him.

Merely human.

He even wanted to laugh a little.

"My young master said that he is looking forward to fighting you in October."

Arai Takashi's next words made the other party stop laughing completely.

He gave Arai Takashi a deep look.

Then he left and never looked back.

Arai Takashi stood there, looking up at the full moon.

"How to get down the mountain?"

he said worriedly.

The commotion on the last day of the martial arts exercise finally subsided in the middle of the night.

Thanks to the timely response of Qiaoqiao and the shrine maidens of Shimogamo Shrine, the ritual to break the seal could not be completed.

The great monster buried deep under Mount Hiei has returned to the seal.

Afterwards, the Kyoto Spirit Exorcist Association conducted a search and re-investigation of Mount Hiei.

Although the results have not come out, it is at least certain that the big monster sealed here is at least a monster that existed before the emergence of human civilization and came from ancient times.

Monsters of this level are so powerful that they can even affect the weather.

In addition, due to the age, the seal has been loosened due to earthquakes and other reasons.

Therefore, the will of monsters can affect some related humans to some extent.

Perhaps this is the root cause of the previous tragedy at Mount Hiei.

More than 30 shrines including Yasaka Shrine, various temples in Kyoto, and Onnyoryo, etc., have been resealed by Eizan.

At least for a short period of time, there is no need to worry about the seal being destroyed.

Because of his wonderful performance in the spirit-killing martial arts, and his use of rockets to destroy the hazama, which was witnessed by many spirit-killing masters.

Shimogamo Shrine has inexplicably become a place where major ghost removal organizations in Kyoto rush to visit, exchange and learn.

Along with this, many young miko were recruited.

I saw those young witches standing in military postures under the scorching sun.

Qiao Qiao was very pleased.

The reward of one million yen a day will arrive quickly.

This is the first time Qiao Qiao’s Kari has eight figures.

Except for the reward from Shimogamo Shrine.

In addition to the Kyoto Spiritual Masters Association, Limu Shrine, etc., they also gave Qiao Qiao a lot of compensation.

The Priest of Riki Shrine even offered to let his daughter go to Tokyo to study with Qiao Qiao, but he declined.

"As a result, I didn't even get a chance to see the fireworks display this year."

On the Shinkansen ride back, Ariko Asano looked out the window, feeling quite disappointed.

Not only did I fail to see the fireworks, but I also failed to see clearly the fireworks set off by the teacher.

What a pity.

"Suzuka did take a look."

Suzuka, who was sitting on the other side, shook her legs and said.

"Suzuka and her friends wore kimonos and watched the fireworks at Kamogawa River. She's super pretty, hehe."

She was exaggerating.

"Would you like Suzuka to send you some photos?"

The relationship between the two of them is really good.

Qiao Qiao thought.

He picked up the phone and checked the balance again.

A feeling of satisfaction came over me.

With this money, a lot of equipment can be updated, and more powerful spirit-removing items can be purchased.

To be honest, after experiencing the brand-new modern weapons at Shimogamo Shrine this time, Qiao Qiao could not forget that feeling.

Sure enough, having good equipment will make things a lot easier.

Thinking of this, Qiao Qiao couldn't wait to discuss it with his boss.

However, Line received new news at this time.

It was from Miss Sakura.

She first greeted Qiao Qiao, who was about to return, and then said two things to Qiao Qiao.

The first thing is that because Qiao Qiao was very active in Kyoto and also sacrificed his precious summer vacation time, Kyoto decided to provide Qiao Qiao and his companions with an all-inclusive trip to Hawaii. The time was decided by Qiao Qiao. .

"Hey, Hawaii, I want to go, Suzuka wants to go!"

Suzuka shouted.

Qiao Qiao didn't pay much attention to Suzuka, but continued to look at Line.

The second thing is the commission from the Tokyo Spiritual Exorcist Association to train new recruits.

Because Qiao Qiao successfully trained Shimogamo Shrine, which was originally weak, to become the number one in martial arts for exorcism.

Although people here in Tokyo still don't know the ins and outs of the matter, many people want Qiao Qiao to be their senior to guide their children in completing the work of removing spirits.

[Sakura's beloved]: This is a child I know. Qiao Sang, please don't lead her astray.

Miss Sakura said.
