Tokyo, Inuyama
The bamboo sea was lush, and the car could only go to the front of the mountain. There was a small path up the mountain, but it did not enter from the torii, but from the side entrance. There were not many people on the road, and it was very quiet. It was connected to the towering trees, but because of that, it did feel like a shrine.
There was an activity on the mountain road a little further away. A person in white hunting clothes and a black gauze hat arrived at the shrine with an ox cart, accompanied by tourists.
Kuwako Sakato glanced and arrived at a small door, and a witch came out to greet her. She was wearing a kimono embroidered with emblems. She bowed respectfully and said cordially, "Welcome, Kuwaki."
Kuwako returned the greeting and said, "Sorry to bother you, Kana-sama."
The two of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time. They turned around and arrived at a wooden house. There was a wind chime hanging in the corner of the house, making a burst of sweet bell sound with the wind.
Kuwako Sakato signaled her entourage to wait outside the house. The witch returned inside and picked up a scroll in one hand, "Come here, the water is boiling, it's just right to make tea."
The house was not big, and there was a low tea table in the corner. Kuwako was sitting on the tatami, washing the tea and making it.
The witch glanced at Kuwako from the scroll and said, "Kuwako, your tea ceremony has regressed."
Kuwako did not stop and smiled, "It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it's difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. I'm now the head of the family, so naturally, my skills have regressed."
After a pause, he said, "It's been three years since I made tea for you last time."
The witch Kanna put down the book and thought about it, "Yes, in a flash, the last time I saw you, you were still an uneasy girl, and now you're the supervisor of the Sakato family and the consortium. It's really touching. By the way, how is the situation in Tokyo now?"
Kuwako replied, "Some small demons have appeared in Tokyo, but the situation is still under control, and there won't be any big mistakes for the time being."
Kanna nodded, "It's the same in Kyoto. Recently, some evil spirits have been purified and expelled."
She was a typical Japanese girl and had the makings of a beauty. It was just that her long hair was scattered on the couch with a few strands of white hair. Wakako took a look and respectfully served tea, "Kanna, you have more white hair now."
Cana sighed, "It can't be helped, the missions are getting heavier and heavier now. If a year ago, the spiritual power of the monsters in the human world was only 10, now it has increased to 50. There have been many casualties in the shrine. "
The two were silent for a while. Only the sound of Chana drinking tea could be heard. At this time, the phone rang. Kuwako Sakato frowned and answered, "What happened?"
A man appeared on the screen, reporting with a calm expression, "Master Mug Ji, Level Two Surveillance Officer Yamada Shinichi and two young girls are under orders to search for the Demonic Ghost."
Kuwako already knew about this long ago, so he just listened. Meanwhile, Cana's expression changed slightly. She crossed her arms and supported her chin with interest as she listened and watched.
"According to the information we provided, Yamada Shinichi was eyeing Horigawa Richi, and then his book was chosen by Shiraishi Academy editor Nagano Narumi."
Kuwako frowned slightly. She probably knew the reason and straightened up. "What's next?"
"The reason why Yamada Shinichi followed that man is because he has the Demonic Ghost aura on him, but that aura is not his own, it's just an embellishment."
"We already knew this. To be infected with such an aura, the Demonic Ghost has a close relationship with Horigawa Richi, and the target is his fiancée, Kyoko."
"But then, just like last time, Yamada Shinichi opened the door and found nothing. It was still the same old house."
"But then, Yamada Shinichi suddenly turned back."
"According to the video, our people rushed into the room only six seconds later, but the room was empty. Not only was there no Kyoko, even Yamada Shinichi and the other two were missing."
"I got it."
Kuwako Sakato was not surprised. She hung up the phone and glanced at the witch. She found that she was reading a book with the title "Seven Samurai" written on the cover. She smiled and changed the topic. "You read this book too?"
"I've read it a few times." Cana smiled. "I can't not read it. This book may not be too important now, but it solved a major problem a year ago."
"We've had doubts for a long time. Why does the intruder give us a familiar yet strange feeling?"
"Now, we know."
"Two similar worlds, similar gods."
Kuwako listened, but said seriously, "But, it can't be said to be one."
The witch nodded and said thoughtfully, "Yes, but this Yamada Shinichi, how does he know so much? I've read his information, Gai Ji. With his power, many Man-Gods can't possibly have such power. He's definitely not human. "
Speaking of this, she frowned. "But I don't feel a familiar aura, and his behavior is unique, not like a local god — could it be a god from the mainland or the West?"
Kuwako shook her head. "Impossible, every god has their own area, unless it's the legendary god of gods, otherwise, it's impossible."
"Now that it's spread so widely, it may not be …" Cana frowned.
"It's not the same, there's no soil, it's not a suitable area!"
The two argued for a while, and at this moment, they felt something was wrong.
The ground shook slightly. In Dongying, almost everyone had experienced an earthquake, as long as they went to kindergarten or elementary school, they would have taken earthquake disaster relief classes. Cana's senses were sensitive, she jumped up and asked in surprise, "There's an earthquake in Dongying?"
Kuwako Sakato also stood up, she said doubtfully, "No, earthquakes are longitudinal waves to the ground, then transverse waves, it doesn't seem like it …"
Cana didn't say anything, turned on the TV, and tuned to Tokyo TV.
On the TV, a host immediately reacted, and said in a clear voice that it was just a slight tremor, the experts had determined that there would be no aftershocks, and the people didn't need to panic.
After watching the news, Cana stared at the void, as if through the TV, she saw the world around her tilting and spinning, and the map of Dongying appeared in front of her.
Dongying, 2,155 square kilometers, under the jurisdiction of 23 special districts, 26 cities, 5 towns, 8 villages, and a population of 13.51 million. At this time, it could be seen that on the model-like map, it was covered with dense gray and black dots, like a group of mosquitoes gathering, covering the sky and the sun, among which a few were particularly large and black.
Then, a white light flashed, and a large black dot suddenly disappeared. The surrounding gray and black dots were affected, burning and turning into ashes, clearing out a large area.
Cana suddenly exclaimed in surprise, and raised her head slightly, "The gap in Dongying has opened up so much? Who's cleaning this time? What happened in Shinjuku, Wanshi, and Mitsuru? "
Before Kuwako Sakato could answer, the screen showed a call, "Master Muki, Master Cana, the ecology of Dongying's Spiritual World has changed dramatically."
"The degree of change is very intense. The department wants to invite Master Muki and Master Cana to go to Horikawa Riki's residence to collect further information."
"Got it." Kuwako Sakato took the phone and said, "Let's go!"
The Sakato Group was taken care of by Dongying, so they naturally had to bear the obligation, and now was the time.
Witch Cana also became serious, quickly put on her clothes, and then silently went out. What she saw was a long stone staircase leading straight down the mountain.
The small vibration just now didn't seem to affect the activity too much. There were people going up and down on both sides of the staircase. From time to time, someone would grab the hemp rope and shake it. The copper bells under the eaves made a pleasant "jingle" — this was the sound to alert the gods.
This sound even startled a few birds. When the group went down, they saw a mother holding a twelve or thirteen years old little girl in her hand. When she saw the people coming, she smiled and bowed slightly.
When they went out of the mountain gate, a car drove over. As soon as they entered, the screen in the car was connected to a larger video conversation.
"Master Muki, Master Cana!" The person on the other side of the video formally saluted.
"Yes, I'm on my way to the apartment. What's the new situation?"
"The Special Monitoring Group has recorded that one-third of Dongying's Spiritual World has experienced a huge turbulence. Hundreds of thousands of Spiritual Powers have been extinguished. It is predicted that a Demon King has been killed in the Inner World."
"Here's the specific situation."
Dense numbers slid down the screen. There were also photos and videos of Pei Zi Yun bringing the two of them in and out. There were also many small windows attached. Obviously, it wasn't just for Kuwako and Cana.
"The Demon King has been killed. This is a major event. Many things have changed. Therefore, the Dongying Strategic Special Service Division earnestly requests everyone to confirm this as soon as possible."
"What? How is this possible? The Demon King has been killed? "
"Yes, it's impossible!"
"If it's true, then who killed him?"
There was a series of objections on the screen. They were unwilling to accept this fact. With the Demon King's Spiritual Power, how could he be killed so easily?
It was simply inconceivable. There was even the suspicion of being slapped in the face. None of the people present could do it.
"We know this news is very shocking, but please calm down. Now, please confirm the information."
Witch Cana closed her eyes to rest. She didn't even lift her eyes. She seemed to be looking into the distance. After a long time, she snorted and said slowly, "Kuwako, what did you see?"
After a while, Kuwako Sakadō also rubbed her eyebrows and said, "What you saw is exactly what I saw. The Spiritual Power Area has been destroyed."
"Hundreds of thousands of souls are missing."
"In particular, the Demon King's aura has completely disappeared."
Although that was what she said, Kuwako Sakadō didn't look happy at all.
"There's something fishy here." Witch Cana nodded and said what she wanted to say. "First of all, Kyouko has been found. She's just an ordinary demon, but her original enchantment couldn't be detected by you and me."
"This is very abnormal."
"Yamada Shinji entered the house without any effort and broke the enchantment to enter the interior. This shows that his strength is indeed very strong."
"Not only that, since he entered the interior, he must have found something. The Demon Ghost is fine, but the Demon King has been killed. I feel traces of Neira's power — it seems to be Izanami."
"I just don't know which Izanami it is."
"Yes." Kuwako Sakadō nodded slightly. Her expression was a little bad. She didn't continue. "I'm sure that the Demon King has been killed."
Witch Cana also opened her eyes and said seriously, "I'm Cana. I'm sure that the fourth Demon King has been killed."
"Agreed!" A lot of confirmation was transmitted from the screen.
