Truth is everywhere within range

"Political Commissar, I didn't expect you to come too."

After midnight, everyone took action.

Araki Maki and others from Shimogamo Shrine had noticed his presence because of Qiaoqiao's questions, so they came over to say hello before leaving.

"Although I just want to have a quiet school trip, trouble always seems to find me."

Qiao Qiao was a little helpless.

However, spiritual powers attract each other.

With so many spiritual masters here, it seems reasonable that the huge spiritual power would attract powerful weirdos.

"This is the area we are responsible for."

Maki Araki pointed to a patch on the mobile map.

"This happens to be the area where the hotel for our school trip is located. Well, please, Shinmu-san."

Qiao Qiao took a look.

"no problem."

Maki Araki and others nodded and left the side hall.

The priests and witches left one after another.

In the end, only the people from Izumo Taisha Shrine and Qiao Qiao were left.

"I have prepared guest rooms for a few of you. If you don't mind, you can rest in the guest rooms."

A miko who was slightly older than Qiao Qiao came over and saluted.

"rest?"

Qiao Qiao was silent for a moment.

It didn’t take long to figure it out.

It is said that they are stationed at Izumo Taisha Shrine, but in fact, they are essentially asking Izumo Taisha Shrine to protect them.

Most of the spirit exterminators at Minejo High School are descendants of well-known families. They are not limited to Shinto. No matter how bad they are, they are also the leaders of the younger generation of shrines like Natsume Shi.

If things go wrong if left unchecked in the city, Izumo Taisha cannot bear such responsibility.

Just gather together and be protected by the social protection formation.

Qiao Qiao was able to take advantage of them.

Originally, Qiao Qiao wanted to stay here and get a better understanding of the current situation.

However, considering Sayoko's situation, she decided to go to the guest room.

Other students didn't have any other opinions.

They are still too young, and it is difficult for them to have any ideas in such a big scene.

Under the leadership of the miko, several people walked through the courtyard and walked to the backyard of Izumo Taisha Shrine.

"By the way, this miko, I have had some contact with Kohakugawa Shigure of Izumo Taisha Shrine before. I don't know where she is now."

Qiao Qiao asked on the road.

"I'm sorry, I'm just an ordinary little miko and don't know anything about the Kohaku River Miko."

she replied.

I don’t know if it’s true or false.

"this way please."

The guest room was a single room, but after Sayoko walked into her room, Qiao Qiao followed her in as a matter of course.

"Wait a minute, this is a single room, this guest is invited to come here."

"Due to some special circumstances, I had to stay in close contact with her."

"N-close contact?"

The miko who led the way looked at the two of them in surprise.

It is indeed the prime of youth.

But it’s a bit too much to do these things in a pure and sacred place like a shrine.

"It's okay, I'm coming too. The three of us have a good relationship, so don't worry."

Natsume Shishi also followed into Sayoko's room.

She was worried about Qiao Qiao.

"Three, three people?"

The miko looked at Natsume's poem again.

He looked at Qiao Qiao with a slightly frightened look.

Leave in a hurry with the others.

in the room.

Qiao Qiao sat down, took out his laptop, and skillfully connected to the wifi in the shrine.

"Really, I didn't expect that a small school trip could involve a big monster like Ibaraki Douji."

Natsume Shishi sat cross-legged on the tatami and took out her mobile phone angrily, only to find that the signal in the deep mountains was really poor.

"Hey, Qiao Sang, where did you know the wifi password?"

she asked.

"Well, I just channeled it. I used the internal line of the shrine. The Internet speed is very fast."

Qiao Qiao then wrote a small note to Natsume Poems.

"But, is Ibaraki Douji such a powerful youkai? I thought he was just like Sadako or something."

Sayoko didn't feel sleepy at all. She looked at Qiao Qiao typing on the keyboard and asked.

"Ibaraki-douji is Shuten-douji's subordinate, and there are also Hoshikuma-douji, Golden Bear-douji, Tiger Bear-douji, and Shikuma-douji. Together they are called the Four Heavenly Kings of Oeyama Demon."

Natsume Poetry explains.

"Wait a minute, Natsume-san, why did you mention five names even though he is clearly the Four Heavenly Kings of Demons?"

Sayoko tilted her head, thinking it was some kind of weird study.

"Isn't it common sense that there are five of the Four Heavenly Kings?"

Natsume Shi asked rhetorically.

It seems to make sense.

"The folk rumors about Ibaraki-douji have actually been revised by the official, including the story of Shuten-douji being killed. These are all measures to prevent them from gaining power from ghost stories."

Natsume Shishi connected to wifi, first opened the login interface of the mobile game, and prepared to complete today's daily routine.

"Speaking of which, Sayoko-chan, which monster do you think is more powerful?"

"Uh, slick guy?"

Recently, in order to learn about weird knowledge, Sayoko has not only studied on the APP, but also read a lot of comics.

"Ah, maybe it's because of the animation."

Natsume Shishi smiled.

"Actually, Hua Tou Gui, Hua Lao, is essentially a very weak monster. But because the author of the comic is Hua Lao himself, he created Hua Lao's very powerful setting. When the fame of the comic and animation became more and more popular, The status of Hua Lao in people's hearts will be greatly improved, and over time, maybe they will really gain the power of belief because of such strange stories."

When Qiao Qiao heard this, he slightly slowed down his typing on the keyboard.

The war between gods is, to put it bluntly, a war of faith.

When one god defeats another god, the first thing to do is to undermine the other's belief.

In myths all over the world, there are some so-called villains. In fact, they are essentially the result of modified beliefs of defeated gods.

As for monsters, if they want to increase their power, in addition to absorbing spiritual power, gaining more spread and even gaining faith is naturally a part of it.

While Natsume Shishi and Sayoko were conducting late-night weird science popularization, Qiao Qiao's work was coming to an end.

"finished."

Qiao Qiao finally stopped typing on the keyboard.

"What's accomplished?"

Natsume Shishi leaned her head over and opened her mouth wide when she saw the screen.

"Qiao, Qiao Sang, you, you are seriously violating the rules!"

On the screen was the internal backend of the Soul Exterminator Association, with operating authority that far exceeded the level of an ordinary Soul Exterminator like Qiao Qiao.

"I gave it a simple try and unexpectedly broke through the protection. It seems that the internal circuits at Izumo Taisha Shrine have very high authority."

Qiao Qiao said casually.

Look at the information above.

What he is looking for is what kind of weirdness was contained in the Third Research Institute of Izumo Heavy Industries.

And where is that weirdness now.

"Um?"

Qiao Qiao looked at the information and frowned slightly.

"The target was transferred from the Third Research Institute and is currently contained in the containment facility of Izumo Taisha Shrine. The security level has been raised to the old god level."

"The name of the contained object. Tamamo-mae?"

When Qiao Qiao saw this line of text.

Suddenly there was some kind of slight fluctuation sound outside.

Natsume opened the wooden window and was startled immediately, taking several steps back.

"This is."

Qiao Qiao stood up and took a look outside.

The deep starry sky has disappeared.

Instead, there is a red sky.

Cell phone signals and wifi were interrupted instantly.

Qiao Qiao walked out of the room. The entire corridor wall was covered with a mixture of flesh and blood. From time to time, he opened one eye and stared at Qiao Qiao.

He quickly came outside the house.

The entire Izumo Taisha Shrine has completely changed.
