Truth is everywhere within range

Tokyo.

August 18th, cloudy.

Qiao Qiao sat on a bench in a public park in Nakano District, watching the people playing in the park in the afternoon.

Today is Sunday, and the weather is not as hot as the previous few days. It is very suitable for traveling.

He was holding a book explaining the history of paleontology in his hand and was reading it carefully.

The big monster of Mount Hiei is something Qiaoqiao has never seen before.

According to the results of the investigation he heard from Kyoto in the past two days, this big monster has probably been sealed for more than a million years.

This aroused Qiao Qiao's interest.

If there is such weirdness in Mount Hiei, do other places also have similar existences?

And according to the Soul Exorcist Association, due to the loosening of the seal, the big monster can affect human consciousness to a certain extent.

This made Qiao Qiao think a lot.

For example, the big monster, with its flying tentacles, is a standard feature of the Gram series.

Qiao Qiao does not believe that there are really existences such as old gods and alien gods in this world.

After all, a great being that can interfere with cause and effect and dimensions and dominate the universe has no need to cling to an insignificant planet like the Earth.

He feels that the Cthulhu myth of this world should be fabricated.

But Qiao Qiao also speculated that when the creators fabricated this series of myths, would they be affected by these big monsters with loose seals?

The big monster he saw on Mount Hiei was not a god from the Cthulhu mythology.

But is it possible that these great monsters of the same period influenced human creators and created similar images? Is there such a possibility?

Qiao Qiao doesn't know.

After all, he is not an expert in this field.

After reading a book under the shade of a tree for a while, Qiao Qiao raised his head and relaxed his eyes.

Soon, he saw a girl.

She was wearing a black one-piece dress with a white collar and a black turban. She was carrying a box that was a little heavy and huge in comparison.

There is also a cross-shaped pendant hanging on his chest.

It was obvious that this was a nun.

The nun squinted her eyes and finally found Qiao Qiao sitting on the bench, and she walked over.

"Are you Mr. Qiao Qiao?"

She put down the box, which sounded really heavy, and said to Qiao Qiao.

"Yes, then you are, uh, Sasha Hoshino?"

"It's Hoshino Sasha."

The nun seems to have become accustomed to people mispronunciating her name.

Under the sun, Qiao Qiao could see the long silver hair between the slits of Sister Hoshino Salsa's hat. Her skin was very white, and her appearance was different from ordinary Chinese people. She had exotic qualities, but she was a little shorter. Standing with Qiao Qiao, there is always a feeling of crime.

The most distinctive thing is her pupils.

Two eyes, the left eye is green and the right eye is blue.

The heterochromatic eyes are very eye-catching.

Judging from the name, he might be of mixed race?

However, he speaks the language of Japan quite fluently.

Qiao Qiao recalled the information Miss Sakura sent yesterday.

Hoshino Sasha is a spirit exorcist affiliated with the Nerima branch of the Tokyo Spirit Exorcist Association. Of course, she has not officially performed a spirit exorcism.

She is not a witch, nor a member of the Onmyojia family, but an upright Christian nun.

As for which faction they belong to, Qiao Qiao has not studied it.

Hoshino Sasha's mother is French and her father is a university professor. The two met in France. After getting married, they returned to Japan and gave birth to Hoshino Sasha.

When she was six years old, Hoshino Sasha awakened her spiritual power. Based on her mother's faith, she was sent to a church in the Nerima area to learn how to remove spirits.

"But there are really nuns in the Spiritualist Association."

Qiao Qiao sighed in his heart.

I heard Miss Sakura mention it a little bit before that there is a very powerful nun in the Nerima area who is active as an exorcist. I didn’t expect to see a living nun today.

"Sister Hoshino, shall we discuss today's commission first, or shall we discuss it in the past?"

Qiao Qiao asked, in the final analysis, he is just a supervisor and assistant, and all the work of removing spirits will be left to Hoshino Sasha to complete independently.

"Just go over there."

Hoshino Sasha said simply, and then suddenly seemed to remember something, and said to Qiao Qiao.

"Qiao Sang, there is one thing I want to remind you. When you are outside, don't call me by my name directly. You can call me by my code name."

"You mean the code name?"

Qiao Qiao raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, my operation codename is [Ghost Shark]."

"Really, I already said that I can complete the commission independently, but that guy [Meteor Star] always talks about it, just like my old mother."

"Meteor?"

Sitting on the bus, Qiao Qiao tilted his head while listening to Hoshino Sasha's complaints.

It was different from how elegant and polite Asano Ariko was when she first met Qiao Qiao.

Hoshino Sasha was very familiar with her, and after a few casual conversations, she started talking about her church.

"It's also an action code. Everyone in our church has an action code."

Hoshino Sasha said seriously.

"It turns out that it is a very professional organization."

Qiao Qiao nodded slightly.

"The people in our church are all people who have a deep hatred for Weird. Some people even had their whole families killed by the evil spirits, leaving only themselves. They remain anonymous, just for the day when they can take revenge."

Hoshino Sasha said again.

I don't know if he heard her words, but an old man sitting in the front row looked back at Hoshino Sasha. When he saw her nun uniform, he looked back as if he understood something.

"It's been really tough."

Qiao Qiao deeply felt that during the war, there were similar elite troops, and their members were all people who had a deep hatred for the enemy. Such people were resolute and had extremely strong combat effectiveness.

It seems that the church’s strategy is very advanced with the times.

"Yep, it is."

Hoshino Sasha was very relieved to see that Qiao Qiao seemed to understand her very well.

"By the way, Ghost Shark, what is this box of yours?"

Qiao Qiao glanced at the black box placed on the next seat. For Hoshino Sasha, who was only about 1.5 meters tall, this box was really too big.

"This, this is my comrade-in-arms."

Hoshino Sasha smiled mysteriously.

"Comrade?"

Qiao Qiao's eyes lit up.

"That's right, he is the most trustworthy partner who works with me and fights together."

Hoshino Sasha puffed up her bare chest and said.

The bus will arrive soon.

The two got out of the car.

This is a commercial district in Nakano District.

Although it is not as prosperous as Ginza Shibuya, it is still very prosperous, with clothing, restaurants, and shopping all available.

On the upper floors of the shopping mall are various office buildings.

Qiao Qiao and Hoshino Sasha took the elevator to the thirteenth floor of a building.

There is a company located here, which is today's client.

"Huh?"

Hoshino Sasha was a little confused when she saw the company's sign.

Because it is all in English, there is no trace of Japanese characters.

"Well, this commissioning company seems to be a multinational trading company."

Qiao Qiao replied.
