Truth is everywhere within range

"Is Fujinami Shinji dead?"

This time even Qiao Qiao was a little surprised.

Kitashirakawa Rika can spy on the entire Ise Shrine through the mirror, so her words will naturally not be false.

But Fujinami Nobuharu was imprisoned in a dungeon. Although he was restrained by various spells, it also meant that he was fully protected. How could he still die like this?

Is Ise Jingu really in such a state of decline?

Hearing Qiao Qiao's words, Kuroda Makoto looked at Qiao Qiao in surprise, wondering what he meant.

Kuroda Jun glanced at Qiao Qiao with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"What did you say?"

Kuroda Jun came over.

"Kuroda-san, how is Fujinami Shinji's current condition?"

Qiao Qiao didn't explain much, he just asked.

"I-I'll go ask."

Before Kuroda Jun could make a call, he saw a priest in hunting robes walking out from the corridor of the shrine in front of him.

"Father?"

That is Kuroda Jun and Kuroda Makoto's father, Kuroda Hideki.

"Something happened, Fujinami Shinji him"

Kuroda Hideki glanced at Qiao Qiao and then continued.

"Nobuharu Fujinami was found dead in the dungeon, and the circumstances of his death were very special."

"!!!"

Both Kuroda Jun and Kuroda Makoto were extremely surprised.

Not only because of Fujinami Shinji's death, but also because of Qiao Qiao's near-predictive speech.

"Priest Kuroda, Shinji Fujinami, how did he die?"

Qiao Qiao suppressed his surprise and asked.

". He exploded from within his body, and his flesh and blood spattered onto the wall. There was no intact body."

Kuroda Hideki replied with a solemn expression.

"This is a way to die...!!!"

Kuroda Jun immediately thought of Taka Aoki whom he met before.

"What's wrong?"

Hideki Kuroda didn't seem to know about the reporter. Seeing his daughter's strange expression, he asked.

Kuroda Jun immediately informed his father of the relevant matters.

"Is this really the old god's bewitchment?"

Kuroda Hideki was obviously someone who knew about the existence of the old gods. His expression became uncertain. He looked at Qiao Qiao and then at his two daughters.

"Come with me."

He brought the three of them to a shrine called Fengri Prayer Palace among the shrine complex.

The god of wind and rain is worshiped here. It was originally a shrine. Later, it was upgraded to the Wind and Rain Shrine due to the effectiveness of praying for rain. It is a place where the leaders of Ise Jingu discuss important matters.

Qiao Qiao followed Kuroda Hideki into the shrine. He took a glance and saw that several people were already sitting inside.

The leader is naturally the young palace leader, Tengha Teruyo.

People from other big families were also present.

They sat separately, forming three obvious factions.

Hideki Kuroda sat down, the Kuroda sisters sat behind him, and Qiao Qiao naturally followed suit.

"This Qiao Qiao is a spiritual exterminator from Tokyo. He has been interviewed by the officiant. At the request of the officiant, he was allowed to observe."

After several priests' eyes fell on Qiao Qiao, Fujinami Teruyo explained.

"let us start."

When he said this, he felt a little tired.

"Regarding the death of Fujinami Shinji, the specific report is as follows. Fujinami Shinji was imprisoned on the first floor of the dungeon on suspicion of murder, and a binding curse and a silencing curse were imposed. At around three o'clock this afternoon, the patrolling priest passed by the dungeon where he was imprisoned. , found that Nobuji Fujinami was dead, his spirit body collapsed, and he could not channel spirits."

A priest with a mustache said holding a paper document. He was Kyotaro Ikeda's father, Ichiro Ikeda.

"After investigating the surrounding environment, we came to the conclusion that Nobuji Fujinami had an explosion caused by high-intensity spiritual power in his body. His flesh and blood collapsed, and he died directly. This is the current result."

After listening to Ikeda Ichiro's words, Fujinami Teruyo sighed softly.

The Fujinami family does not have only one heir, Fujinami Shinji, but it is undeniable that the best of this generation is Fujinami Shinji.

Originally, he still had room to deal with the sin of murder, but now that he died mysteriously, everything was gone.

"This is the handiwork of the old gods."

On the side, a priest with slightly curly hair said that his surname was Takashi and he was a member of the third force.

"Nobuharu Fujinami was bewitched by the old gods and committed murder. Now his deeds have been exposed and the old gods have obliterated him. The Fujinami family should be held responsible for this."

"If the old gods can easily kill the prisoners imprisoned in the dungeon of the shrine, then our shrine does not need to call itself the No. 1 shrine in Japan. I think Nobuharu was harmed."

Fujinami Ryoya, who was beside Fujinami Teruyo, closed his eyes and said.

He is the father of Fujinami Shinji.

This information was told by Kitashirakawa Rika to Qiao Qiao. As the officiating shrine maiden, she usually does not participate in such meetings. At this moment, she is observing with Qiao Qiao.

"You mean, someone broke into the dungeon of the shrine just to kill Nobuharu Fujinami?"

Ichiro Ikeda asked back, it was the Ikeda family who was now responsible for guarding the dungeon. Fujinami Ryoya not only denied that his children were bewitched by evil gods, but also accused the Ikeda family of lax guarding.

"Everyone, my Jun discovered an incident when he was out patrolling. The deceased was a reporter. His death was almost the same as that of Fujinami Shinji."

Kuroda Hideki said at this time, making everyone slightly surprised and looking this way.

Kuroda Jun was a little timid for a moment, and Qiao Qiao raised his hand.

"I conducted the channeling. Let me explain."

He then told the things he had investigated before, including the records in Takashi Aoki's notebook and the Shinto magic circle.

The expressions of everyone present became solemn.

"Is it really true that Fujinami Shinji was contaminated when he went out to exorcise spirits and was unaware of it, which caused such an incident?"

Ikeda Ichiro's expression was solemn.

It is definitely a terrible thing for the old gods to be able to influence the direct lineage of Ise Shrine without anyone noticing.

Fujinami Shinji is already considered an outstanding person of this generation, but what about the other weaker people?

If this is an attack against Ise Jingu, is Ise Jingu now surrounded by similar beings?

Suddenly, Ikeda Ichiro felt that everyone around him could not be trusted.

Others thought the same thing.

The influence of the old gods is subtle, and maybe among all of you, someone who has been corrupted and polluted has already appeared.

I know that I am normal, but I don’t know if you are normal. No one has a way to prove to everyone that he has not been contaminated by the old gods.

A different chain of suspicion gradually formed, binding everyone's thinking.

"I would like to ask, is there a magic circle made of flesh and blood around Fujinami Shinji's body? How is the corruption level of his corpse?"

In the silent suspicion, Qiao Qiao's speech brought everyone back to their senses.

".It is indeed serious corruption, and there is also a magic circle."

Ichiro Ikeda took out photos of the scene.

In the wooden structure of the cell, there was a hell on earth similar to that in the hotel. Flesh, bones, and internal organs were stuck to the wall, forming a magic circle.

This array is different from Takashi Aoki's, but it can be seen that it is refined based on it.

If this magic circle is paired with enough spiritual power, it may actually be able to summon certain beings at the right time.

"Everyone, I think this is an attack on Ise Shrine. The existence behind it is likely to be the awakened old god."

Qiao Qiao expressed his opinion.

"To ensure safety, I think it is best to postpone or cancel the New Year Prayer Festival in ten days."
