In less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, a group of people appeared in Mako Takamori's house.
These people were wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night, which made them look out of place. However, their movements were agile and without hesitation. Fei Ziyun sensed a murderous aura when they entered.
Without a doubt, this group of people had blood on their hands.
Fei Ziyun looked at their skillful movements and knew that this group of people must have dealt with such things often. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so skilled.
This thought flashed through Fei Ziyun's mind as he looked at Sakanoue Sanako.
Sakanoue Sanako held her hair with her left hand and wore a small red string bracelet on her wrist. Seeing that Fei Ziyun was covered in blood, she said again, "Yamada-kun, please leave. There's a hotel nearby. Don't worry, there won't be any trouble."
Fei Zi Yun nodded and turned around. Someone handed him a coat. The coat wasn't big, but for someone with short legs, it was enough to cover the bloodstains.
Fei Ziyun left Mako Takamori's house and went to the hotel.
When he left the apartment, he saw that there was an ambulance and no one was watching.
When Fei Ziyun left Mako Takamori's house, Sakanoue Sanako's smile quickly disappeared. She invited the mother and daughter out and walked to the side of the corpse to observe the condition of the people killed.
What shocked Sakanoue Sanako was that there was only one knife wound on each of them. Seeing this, Sakanoue Sanako, who had dealt with many cases, was stunned. She said to someone, "Yashima, you're a professional. What do you think?"
Tomoya Yashima was a middle-aged man who was best at treating wounds. He could deduce the assailant's weapon, personality, and other relevant information from the victim's wound, and the accuracy was relatively high. Therefore, even though Tomoya Yashima was an ordinary person, he had a certain status in the system.
In this operation, Tomoya Yashima was Sakanoue Sanako's assistant.
At this time, Tomoya didn't care about his image. He squatted beside the corpse and carefully examined the wound. At the same time, he waved his hand in the air and muttered, "Amazing."
"You see, the scariest thing about evil spirits is that they can pull people into nightmares, and only warriors with a strong will can rely on themselves to get rid of them. So far, there are not many warriors who can do it alone."
"Based on the situation at the scene, I'm afraid that the evil spirit has already pulled Yamada-kun into the Nightmare, but what's surprising is that the Nightmare only trapped Yamada-kun for a very short time."
"Moreover, for malevolent spirits, even if they get rid of the nightmare, they still have other ways to hunt them down. It's common for them to possess their loved ones and assassinate their targets."
"The most helpless thing is that many people who are killed by evil spirits will be controlled by evil spirits and become their puppets. They will be manipulated by evil spirits at will."
"From the looks of it, Shidu-kun has been possessed by an evil spirit. However, even someone as skilled as Shidu-kun was killed by the twelve-year-old Shidu-kun with a single slash!"
"Who was the one who single-handedly killed an evil spirit as a child?"
"You're the number one samurai of the Seigouchi Group during the shogunate's change of regime. You assisted the shogunate in the battle, fought against various vassal states, and killed the traitors who brought down the shogunate. You're Shinmi Hidemi, known as the Thousand-Man Killer."
"That's why Kōfang Sensei is rewarded with 1,100 stones."
"Now, is the legend of that year repeating itself? That's unbelievable. "
"Moreover, if you look carefully at the wound, I'm afraid that the moment the victim couldn't resist, he was killed with a single slash! His swordsmanship was firm and decisive, and Yamada-kun was only 12 years old. There's no doubt that he's the most outstanding warrior I've ever seen in my life. " Yashima Chiya turned around and congratulated Sakako Sanako, "The Minagawa Shrine really has the best heir this time!"
"His name will definitely spread all over the world in the future."
Hearing this, Sakako Sanako revealed a look of joy and said to the corpse on the floor, "Makoto, you're really useless. How could you be devoured by an evil spirit! But you still did a good deed. You finally chose a good heir before you died! "
"Whether it's your illegitimate son or your disciple, you've made a great contribution."
Saying that, Sakako Sanako stood up and turned around to order, "Continue to clean up the scene. Make sure no one sees any traces before dawn!"
After saying that, Sakako Sanako turned around and left. Not long after, she arrived at the hotel.
This was a traditional Japanese-style hotel that rose during the era of the Shinagawa shogunate. According to the sixth detailed rule of the "Japanese Warrior Law", the succession of vassal lords and marriage had to be approved by the shogunate. Moreover, they had to visit Edo every three years. When they returned to the territory, their wives or children had to stay in Edo as hostages.
The vassal lords were all rich people. During the journey and Edo, there were hotels that served high-level warriors and vassal lords. At that time, they were known for their simple and elegant beauty. The service was caring and tried their best to make the distinguished guests as comfortable as they were at home.
At that time, unless you were above 1,000 stones, you would not be directly received. If you needed to check in, you would need two old guests to introduce you. It was very stylish.
However, in modern times, with the rise of the hotel industry, this kind of traditional hotel had no choice but to open to the public. Even so, many traditions were still maintained.
As soon as Sakako Sanako entered the door, a woman in a kimono immediately greeted her. Without saying anything, she only bowed to her and turned around to lead the way. After passing through a small path, they arrived at a house with tatami mats, soft cushions, a snow-white checkered paper door, a tea set on the shelf, and paintings on the wall.
Although this was simple, it was not something that ordinary people could adapt to quickly.
However, at this time, Fei Ziyun had obviously taken a shower and changed into a loose kimono and wooden clogs. He was sitting and playing with his phone, looking through his mailbox.
She heard the sound of footsteps and saw Sakako Sanako walking in slowly. She didn't care and flipped through the mail. She asked seriously, "Sakako, do you think publishing and authors are a sunset industry?"
Strictly speaking, calling Sakako Sanako was a little impolite. It was usually a superior addressing a subordinate, but Sakako Sanako did not care. After listening to it, she thought about it seriously and said, "I don't know much about this industry."
"However, I heard that with the spread of the Internet, the flow of information has changed greatly. Bookstores have been greatly affected, causing the entire industry to shrink."
"You're right. 23,000 bookstores have decreased to 17,600, a decrease of 7,000. Book sales have decreased by 13.8% and magazine sales have decreased by 29.2%. Sales have fallen into a difficult situation." Fei Ziyun looked through the information he had found and said emotionally, "Authors nowadays do not earn as much as before, but publishing companies have been affected even more. No wonder they are so enthusiastic."
"Do you like a manga author?" Sakako Sanako was not in a hurry to get to the point. She bowed to Fei Ziyun and kneeled in front of him.
"No, I don't read many manga anymore, but I still read novels."
"However, I can also be considered an author now. Shiroishi Academy Publishing House has been contacting me, inviting me to meet them!"
"Ah … That's amazing. Have you become an author?" Sakako Sanako was truly shocked. She covered her mouth and said, "Japan does not have a twelve-year-old author!"
Because of her profession and education, she was very serious about bloodlines and surnames. Apart from that, she placed great importance on great authors, educators, and thinkers.
Disregarding everything else, the banknotes in Japan all had their portraits printed on them. They were very influential.
In terms of degree, they were great authors, great educators, and great thinkers.
Authors created the spiritual life of humans, and education was the source of spirituality. As for great thinkers, they could guide society forward. Respect for them came from the bottom of the heart.
As for simple samurai and bureaucrats, they had never been on Japanese banknotes before.
"It's just a short story and a medium story. It hasn't been officially published yet." Fei Ziyun replied to the email and put down his phone. He then bowed and asked politely, "Miss Sakako, what's going on? Can you tell me now?"
"Yes, Yamada-kun." Sakako Sanako silently noted this down and then returned to the main topic. She bowed and said, "Yamada-kun, do you know about evil spirits? Have you heard of the legend of evil spirits? "
"Actually, evil spirits really do exist."
"And the reason why there's peace now is because most of the evil spirits have been suppressed. I'm currently at Mikawa Shrine, and Mikawa Shrine is one of the Yu Family members who suppress evil spirits."
"The Yu Family members are samurai who don't have the right to participate in the royal court?" Fei Ziyun searched and asked.
Sakako Sanako paused for a moment before replying obediently, "Yes, there used to be 52 clans in Japan. Two of them had 900 stones, two of them had 800 stones, four of them had 700 stones, and six of them had 600 stones. Our Mikawa Shrine had 600 stones."
Sakako Sanako narrated the history of Mikawa Shrine.
"Although we've entered the modern era, the Kōfō Shrine still exists, and the Yu Family members who suppress evil spirits are still around. After the fall of the Tobaku, there are only 31 clans left."
"But because of this, our Mikawa Shrine has risen from 11th place to third place." Sakako Sanako explained the history of Mikawa Shrine to Fei Ziyun with a proud expression.
The history of Mikawa Shrine sounded impressive, and there was a lot of hidden information. Fei Ziyun knew that although this world had also experienced the fall of the Tobaku, it had been suppressed.
However, the shogunate's reforms had saved the world for a time, and it had to go back to democracy.
However, Fei Ziyun, who had just experienced a battle, didn't have the patience to listen to Sakako Sanako explain the history of Mikawa Shrine in detail. The battle had seemed simple, but it had ended in a matter of seconds. Fei Ziyun had used the highest level of the Shen Family's 37 techniques, "Shape of Clouds, Change of the Wind, or Thoughtless", with a wooden sword. Although this wasn't enough to hurt Fei Ziyun's spirit, it had consumed a lot of his energy. After all, he had concentrated all his energy in his spirit and was only a 12 year old child.
To Fei Ziyun, the easiest and most direct way to recover energy was to sleep.
Fei Ziyun, who had just finished his bath, wanted to have a good rest to recover the energy he had expended.
Seeing that Sakako Sanako still wanted to explain the history of Mikawa Shrine, the originally lazy Fei Ziyun straightened up, and his face tensed up. His expression turned serious as he shook his head and said impatiently, "Miss Sakako, please get to the point!"
