Truth is everywhere within range

"Qiao Sang, you seem to have picked up something strange again."

On the phone, Miss Sakura's voice was as flat as a machine, and she seemed to have seen through all the vicissitudes of life.

"No, Miss Sakura, to be precise, something strange came to me."

Qiao Qiao said, looking at Shigure who was watching the live broadcast of a virtual beautiful girl on Sayoko's phone.

"Please inform the Soul Exterminator Association here. This may be a very dangerous situation."

The three of them are now at the headquarters of the Spiritual Exorcist Association in Songjiang City.

Naturally, this building does not have the style of Shinjuku. It has only three floors and is located next to the Matsue Castle Scenic Area and near the Koizumi Yakumo Memorial Hall.

There are not many people except the Spiritual Master Association.

The receptionists are not beautiful girls like Sakura-san, but old ladies.

Moreover, all kinds of paperwork and reports are all handwritten!

The phones were even those old rotary dial phones.

It was so retro that Qiao Qiao gave up complaining.

"Because Shinto is prosperous here in Shimane Prefecture, the Soul Exorcist Association is naturally not very good."

On the phone, Miss Sakura explained.

The Soul Exorcist Association was originally established by various Soul Exorcist factions to check and balance each other after that incident. In a big city like Tokyo, where various forces are intricate, the Soul Exorcist Association has a foothold.

In Shimane Prefecture, there are not many people on the one hand, and Izumo Taisha Shrine almost takes over most of the work of exorcizing spirits, so the Association of Exorcists of Spirits is naturally just a facade.

"Sure enough, we should contact Izumo Taisha directly."

Qiao Qiao looked at Shigure who was singing along with the virtual beautiful girl on the screen.

In fact, when he came here, he had already contacted the relevant personnel of Izumo Grand Shrine, but it would take some time for the other party to come over.

That's why Qiao Qiao brought Sayoko and Shigure to the Songjiang Spirit Exorcist Association.

"Speaking of which, Miss Sakura, do you know the relationship between the Soul Tama and the Four Soul Tama?"

Qiao Qiao asked again.

Shigure's description of the Yamata no Orochi Soul Jade reminded him of the Shikon Jade.

An uncertain idea appeared in his mind.

"The soul jade is something like the core left after the death of a powerful monster. It has highly concentrated spiritual power, but to become a 'jade', you have to be a very powerful big monster."

The descendants of the Yamata-no-Orochi who appeared at Atsuta Shrine last time did not even have any scum left, let alone jade.

Miss Sakura added, and then said.

"Although the names of the Four Soul Jade and the Soul Jade are very similar, one uses resentful spirits and the other uses the spiritual power of monsters. The specifics are still different."

"Qiao Sang, have you encountered any problems? If it's something related to the Soul Jade, it's best not to deal with it alone. After all, the Soul Jade is a treasure to the weirdos."

Qiao Qiao said a few more words to Miss Sakura before hanging up the phone.

By this time, Shigure had followed several virtual anchors along the recommendation list and was asking Sayoko how to make money.

The poison of civilization has spread so quickly!

Qiao Qiao sighed with emotion.

"Shigure, people from Izumo Taisha Shrine will come to pick you up later, and leave the specific matters to them."

he said.

"Oh, I really don't want to go back, and it's at this time."

Shigure sighed, his whole body suddenly lost energy.

On the way to the Soul Exorcist Association, Shigure briefly explained the relationship between Izumo Taisha Shrine and the main shrine she worshiped.

Shigure's branch is a single lineage with strong strength. He was originally thrown into Paradise because he could not control his power, but he did not expect that the essence of Paradise is the remains of Yamata no Orochi and the Soul Jade.

Soul jade is also a very precious material for shrines, not to mention the soul jade left by mythical monsters like Yamata no Orochi, which is almost equivalent to the remains of gods.

But since Izumo Taisha Shrine had already said that all affairs of the park would be handed over to Shigure's lineage, they were naturally embarrassed to break their promise.

For so many years, I could only look at the Soul Jade.

If something goes wrong this time, Izumo Taisha Shrine can take over the control of Paradise and the Soul Tama as a matter of course.

As for Shigure, he will probably be incorporated into Izumo Taisha Shrine.

"Oh, it is logical that Yamata no Orochi's soul jade can be taken away by someone you don't know. Let alone other people, even I can't move its position. Why is it missing?"

Shigure was confused.

According to the normal development, Qiao Qiao will begin to wonder whether this incident was directed and staged by Izumo Taisha Shrine in order to take away the Soul Jade.

But if you think about it carefully, there is absolutely no need for Izumo Taisha to do this.

What's more, it's that kind of monster that invades the paradise.

Yes, that look made Qiao Qiao recall the past, and at the same time, he also had a trace of doubt.

Do the four soul jade and the soul jade actually have similar structures and uses?

According to Shigure, the Soul Jade has huge and pure spiritual power, so it can affect some weird seals. To put it simply, it means using more pure spiritual power to fight against pure spiritual power.

Therefore, there are indeed some examples in legends of great monsters awakening their ancestors by self-destructing sacrifices.

The Jade of Four Souls is also pure spiritual power.

In terms of use, Qiao Qiao thinks there may be no difference between the two.

Then here comes the problem.

The Soul Jade can break the seal.

Why can't Shikon no Tama do the same thing?

Why did the old gods that Qiao Qiao met in Hawaii and Tokyo Bay happen to wake up from their seals?

If the Four Souls Jade itself is an imitation of the Soul Jade, its essential purpose is to awaken these sleeping and sealed old gods.

Qiao Qiao felt that the disappearance of the Soul Jade this time may be involved in a bigger incident later.

While thinking about it, people from Izumo Taisha Shrine also arrived.

A man and a woman, wearing hunting clothes and miko clothes.

When they saw Shigure, they didn't show any emotion.

"I'm causing you trouble."

He saluted Qiao Qiao, left his contact information, and left with Shigure.

"I thought Qiao Sang would intervene in this matter to help her."

Sayoko looked at Shigure's leaving figure and said.

"After all, that's how Qiao Sang helped me at that time."

"Well, I'm not the kind of person who gets involved in everything. Sayoko's matters are Sayoko's matters. This is different."

Qiao Qiao said that it was true that it was not his turn as an outsider to intervene in the affairs of Izumo Taisha Shrine, both emotionally and rationally.

But Sayoko seemed to understand something else.

puff--

Steam came out of my head again.

"Huh? The bamboos here seem to be blooming too."

Qiao Qiao glanced out the window on the second floor. Bright flowers bloomed on the lush bamboos, which reminded him of what he saw in the paradise.

"Bamboo flowers? Bamboo flowers are not a good sign."

The old lady receptionist looked out the window and said uneasily.

"After all, once the bamboo blooms, it means death."
