Truth is everywhere within range

"Cancel the New Year Prayer Festival? Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Fujinami Ryoya shook his head.

The New Year Prayer Festival is the most important festival at Ise Shrine in the first half of the year. If it is cancelled, then Fujinami Teruyo, the young palace secretary, will inevitably be held accountable, and the Fujinami family will also be punished.

Before the matter got serious enough, Fujinami Ryo thought it could still be controlled.

"During the New Year Prayer Festival, Ise Shrine will have an influx of tourists, even Chinese people. Under such circumstances, if an old god attacks, the damage caused will be immeasurable."

Kuroda Hideki heard Qiao Qiao's words and agreed very much.

The Chinese are the nobles of Japan. Every year during the New Year Festival, they go to Ise Shrine to pray for good weather in the new year. These are prominent figures in the political and business circles. If something goes wrong with them, it is not just the problem of Ise Shrine. .

By canceling the New Year Prayer Festival, the Kuroda family will not be held accountable. Instead, it will be able to punish the Fujinami family. Kuroda Hideki naturally agrees.

Thinking this way, families such as the Ikeda family and the Takaji family are naturally more willing to cancel the New Year Prayer Festival.

For a time, there were sounds of disputes in the shrine hall, one after another, each family arguing for their own interests.

However, in the end, Fujinami Teruyo still needed to make a decision on this matter.

After closing his eyes and listening to the noise of various houses, he opened his eyes.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

Fujinami Teruyo’s voice echoed in the shrine.

He looked around at everyone, and finally fixed his gaze on Qiao Qiao.

"Qiao Sang, you are from Tokyo. Although you are our guest, your past performance has been very good and you are a trustworthy spirit remover of the Spirit Remover Association."

Fujinami Teruyo said.

"I would like to invite you as a consultant to investigate the death of Fujinami Shinji and the reporter. To this end, I will give you the power to investigate all people in the shrine at will. I don't know if you agree."

His words made several other families complain.

After all, this is an internal matter within the Ise Shrine. It is really unbelievable to have an outsider intervene and be given the authority to investigate at will.

However, when everyone put forward their opinions, there was no unified one.

"I will try my best."

Qiao Qiao replied.

"The New Year Prayer Festival will be held in ten days. Before that, if this matter is not investigated clearly, then the New Year Prayer Festival will be cancelled."

Fujinami Teruyo said in a deep voice.

"That's it."

After the meeting, Qiao Qiao followed Kuroda Jun and left the Fenghiji Palace. Here, the roof of the Arakuri Palace could be vaguely seen.

"You're in big trouble."

After Hideki Kuroda left with Makoto Kuroda, Jun Kuroda looked at Qiao Qiao with a slightly distressed look.

"Do you mean you want me to investigate? It doesn't matter. I'm very good at investigating weird things."

Qiao Qiao patted his chest. Rather than looking for answers in complex interpersonal relationships, dealing with weirdness suited him more.

"No"

Kuroda Jun shook his head.

"Do you know why the Young Palace Secretary arranged for you to investigate this matter?"

"Of course because I'm an expert on weirdness."

Qiao Qiao smiled, and when he saw the black lines on Kuroda Jun's face, he added another sentence.

"It's because I'm not from your Ise Shrine, so I won't be affected by various families, right?"

Kuroda Jun nodded.

If this matter is investigated by the Fujinami family, the final result may be to point the finger at other families, carry out the prayer festival as usual, and cause various troubles to other families.

The same is true for other forces.

Positions take precedence over facts.

On the contrary, Qiao Qiao, from Tokyo, was recommended by the Soul Exorcist Association and will leave after one month of internship here. From then on, he will have nothing to do with Ise Shrine.

Such outsiders are more suitable for conducting investigations and are more likely to obtain true conclusions.

Although Fujinami Teruyo is the head of the Fujinami family, he will definitely not be indifferent to the death of his grandson, and he will definitely hope to find the culprit.

"That's why you will also encounter obstruction from those families who want the New Year Prayer Festival to be cancelled, such as the Kuroda family."

Kuroda Jun said quietly.

"You will be alone at Ise Jingu and ultimately unable to do anything."

"Yeah?"

Qiao Qiao thought for a while.

Everyone thought that they were strangers and had no relatives.

But in fact, Qiao Qiao has reached an agreement with Kitashirakawa Rika.

In addition to the three forces at Ise Shrine, there is a fourth force.

That is the priestess who has never been noticed by people.

Qiao Qiao, who seemed the least likely to intervene in the disputes in the shrine, had actually intervened long ago.

Everyone thought it was not the guy from the 25th generation, but it turned out to be the 25th generation from the beginning.

Of course, Qiao Qiao felt that Young Palace Si Tengha Teruyo should be aware of these things, so he found him to do these things.

"Kuroda-san, will you help me?"

Qiao Qiao asked.

"I, I will put the overall situation first."

Kuroda Jun turned away.

"If it is really the old god who is causing trouble, then I will definitely do my best to stop his plot against Ise Shrine, and I will protect this shrine."

She cleared her throat and said.

"Let me take you to the dungeon. Aren't you the best at psychics?"

"Good work."

Qiao Qiao watched Kuroda Jun turn around and lead the way, and in his ears, Kitashirakawa Rika's voice floated over.

"Qiao Sang is such a special person. I have never seen Chun look like that."

"Yeah?"

Qiao Qiao didn't quite understand what Kitashirakawa Rika meant.

"By the way, since you were able to know about Fujinami Shinji's death in advance, did you see the process of his death?"

Qiao Qiao asked softly while following Kuroda Jun.

"I didn't see it. I learned about it through the mirror on the young palace secretary's side. This kind of thing usually has nothing to do with the officiating witch."

Kitashirakawa Rika is more like the mascot of Ise Jingu than a position of real power like Shaomiyaji.

"And there are various magic blocks in the dungeon, so I can't see clearly."

The two came to a cave with stairs in the back mountain.

There were two priests stationed at the door. When they saw Kuroda Jun, they bowed.

"In accordance with the order of the Young Palace Secretary, I brought this person to conduct an on-site inspection."

It seems that the news has been received here, and the two priests made way for Kuroda Jun and Qiao Qiao to walk on.

"The dungeon is built on three floors based on natural holes in the mountain."

"The first floor is a prison for ordinary exorcist prisoners. It uses a binding spell to restrict movement and a silencing spell to isolate sounds. The prisoners detained here cannot move or make any sound."

"The second level is a prison for ordinary monsters. In addition to the previous spells, it also restricts the flow of spiritual power and deprives monsters of their five senses."

"The third floor contains powerful weirdos, which are suppressed by the shrine-protecting formation of Ise Shrine itself. The weirdos inside are said to be imperceptible to the flow of time."

Kuroda Jun explained while going downstairs.

Finally, they came to a flat place.

It is guarded by several priests and is extremely spacious.

Several wooden cages are located in the space.

Most of them are empty, and in the few places where there are people, the people inside are a little dull and thin.

Among them, there is a cage that is very special.

The cage was empty, but the wooden walls were covered with flesh and blood.

There was a rotten smell that was nauseating.

Beside the cage, there were still four priests guarding them, with serious expressions on their faces, staring at the surroundings with vigilance.

"This is where Fujinami Shinji is imprisoned."

Kuroda Jun pointed there and said.

Qiao Qiao greeted the priests and did not go directly into the cage. Instead, he stretched out his right hand and lightly touched the cage.

Start channeling.
