Due to the frequent earthquakes in Japan, the people of Japan were already used to earthquakes. However, even the elderly had rarely experienced such a violent shaking. Their faces were pale, and the young people who were walking on the street were so scared that they gathered in the open space, not daring to approach the buildings.
The whole of Tokyo, no, the whole of Japan was shaking.
Countless phone calls came in, and the office of the shogunate was busy and nervous.
Although the officials themselves were also frightened, under such circumstances, they still had to comfort the agencies first. They couldn't let the situation get more chaotic.
The earthquake bureau was the focus of everyone's attention.
However, this was only the truth that ordinary people and low-level officials thought. The officials of the shogunate had already found some inside information. After the shaking, they didn't think that it was an earthquake. Instead, they realized that it was likely that the people on the other side were making a move again.
At the moment, many people were also busy in the branches of the Shinto Hall.
It was located in a courtyard in Tokyo. From the outside, it looked like a rather ordinary and elegant mansion for rich people. However, upon entering, one would realize that the people living here were not ordinary people. In fact, they were not even a family. There were long corridors connecting them.
The people living here were all retired Onmyojis of the Shinto Hall. Of course, "retired" was just a joke.
Although they were old, they still belonged to the Shinto Hall. However, they usually didn't carry out tasks, and outsiders couldn't even see them easily. Only familiar people would become their guests.
The cherry blossoms bloomed in a house located in the center. A gust of wind blew, and the petals fell, covering the grass on the ground with a thick layer.
Under the cherry tree, more than a dozen men in their fifties were sitting together. At this time, they didn't speak.
The air was filled with an oppressive atmosphere that was the complete opposite of the beautiful scenery.
After a moment, one of the old men suddenly said, "How is it?"
"It's a substitute," another man with black hair and white eyebrows said.
"Why would a substitute have such a reaction? It seems that there must be a lot of substitutes. This is the rejection of this world, "someone said.
The old man who spoke first closed his eyes again. There was a flash of golden light in his pupils. When he opened his eyes again, he said, "Look!"
Around the sky, the stars, the sun, and the moon all showed overlapping images.
No, not overlapping images. It was the power of the stars, the sun, and the moon from another world.
"Not good!" He counted with his fingers and frowned. "This is not a substitution of people, but a substitution of historical memories. Quick, inform the shogunate immediately!"
At the same time, in a commercial building in Tokyo
Because he couldn't make it down in time, he hid in the washroom and suddenly felt dizzy. A colleague who was hiding with him immediately held him up and asked, "Sakamoto-kun, are you alright?"
Ichiro Sakamoto's forehead was covered in sweat. After a while, he opened his eyes and asked, "Who is the current Prime Minister? It's an earthquake, so he should be the one leading it, right? "
"Sakamoto-kun, what are you saying?" His colleague looked at him blankly. "Although there is a prime minister, Japan is led by the Emperor and the shogunate's Great General Shinkawa. If something happens, it will naturally be led by Great General Shinkawa?"
"General Xin Chuan? No, it shouldn't be like this! It shouldn't be like this! "Ichiro Sakamoto was stunned before he covered his head with a pale face.
"Hey, Sakamoto-kun, where are you going?"
Under the exclamations of his colleagues, he ran straight out.
His colleague shouted twice and found that the shaking building had stopped. He tried to take a few steps out and quickly followed.
He didn't dare to take the elevator and ran down the stairs. In the end, he bumped into a middle-aged man who looked familiar. Before he could speak, the middle-aged man greeted him first.
"Oh, right, Sakamoto-kun, which Prime Minister is it now?"
The middle-aged man suddenly asked when the two of them passed by each other.
Ichiro Sakamoto had already asked this question, and Kawami felt it was strange. What's going on today? First, there was a terrible earthquake, and then these two people suddenly asked such a strange question. It's like a secret signal.
Kawami frowned. "It's not the Great General Shinkawa?"
"Oh, I remembered wrongly." The other party didn't give a violent reaction like Ichiro Sakamoto. Instead, he smiled.
This smile was a little strange, and it made Kawami's hair stand on end. He quickly said goodbye and continued to walk down.
What he didn't see was that the middle-aged man standing there watching him go down the stairs had a complicated expression on his face.
"Is it me who has a problem, or is it the world?"
At the same time, in a government office in Osaka.
After the earthquake, they found that there was no damage to the house. They thought that it was the same as before. A few ordinary government employees walked back while talking.
Just as they walked to the door, they suddenly heard exclamations and curses behind them.
He turned around in shock, only to see a group of fully armed soldiers surrounding the area.
"What are you guys doing?" Someone gathered his courage and asked.
The leading officer said coldly, "We are ordered to investigate! Everyone is not to move and wait in place! "
Countless muzzles were pointed at them, causing these government employees to look at each other and shut their mouths.
Now, they also didn't know what was going on. As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. Facing such a group of armed people, they naturally chose to remain silent.
Not long after, the nearby government personnel were all gathered together.
At this time, the officer spoke again. "Now, I ask you, now the Prime Minister's government rules Japan, stand to the left! Now, the shogunate rules Japan, stand to the right! I'll give you ten seconds, immediately! "
What the hell?
The government employees looked at each other and felt that this kind of question was ridiculous. Did this kind of thing need to be asked in such a serious manner?
But when the ten seconds were over, looking at the group of people opposite them, almost everyone was stunned.
"What, what is going on? Hey! Haruka, why did you go over there?! "A man looked at his fiancée in surprise.
She chose the side ruled by the shogunate, but the shogunate had already fallen. This was the history they had learned! Why would his fiancée make such a low-level mistake?
Not only him, but Haruka also looked at him in surprise. "Why did you go over there?"
Obviously, her psychological process was basically the same as his.
There were people on both sides, and the number of people was about the same. They were all familiar with each other. This was really a mess.
The more common a thing was, the more shocked and panicked they were when they found out that it was completely different from what they knew.
Although being at the bottom of the government, they did not know the truth of the other world, during this period of time, they still came into contact with a lot of information that ordinary people did not have access to. At this moment, all kinds of speculations surged in their minds. They looked at their old acquaintances and even lovers with suspicion.
Could it be that he or she had been swapped at some point in time without them noticing?
Just as similar incidents were happening in various cities throughout Japan, the central hub of the shogunate was the residence of the Great General Shinagawa. The Great General Shinagawa stood in the courtyard. Because of the shaking, a big tree fell to the ground, and its branches covered half of the courtyard.
But because of his orders, no one went to deal with the tree for the time being.
"This is a bad sign." The falling of the tree seemed to indicate something, and the Great General Shinagawa's face was as dark as water.
He stood in front of the tree and looked down. The servant did not know what he was thinking, but he knew that the lord must be in an extremely bad mood.
At this moment, a servant hurried in and said with his head lowered, "General, the Hall of Gods has sent a message!"
"Speak!"
"Hey, according to the Hall of Gods, this is the replacement of the opposite world. Because of the replacement, the two worlds collided violently!"
"It is said that it is not the replacement of a person, but the replacement of historical memory. If it is replaced, the person is still the same person, but the memory will change, causing the whole person to become different, and identify with the other world, not this world."
This situation was considered very serious.
After all, even if it was not the person being replaced, but as a person, memory was still very important. When a person's memory was completely replaced, even if the soul was still the same soul, the cognition and sense of belonging would also change.
In terms of the consequences of this substitution, it was no different from the person who was directly substituted.
"What else? Does the Hall of Gods have a solution? "The Great General Shinagawa asked in a deep voice.
Just as the servant gave a negative answer, another servant hurried in.
"Report! The Hall of Gods has sent the latest news. They said that if this wave of replacement is resisted and the order of this world is not tampered with, a part of the opposite world will be digested by our world! "
"If they are weak and we are strong, then the opposite world will continue to be pulled into our world until it is digested."
This was indeed good news. The Great General Shinagawa did not think that the Hall of Gods would deceive him on this kind of matter. After all, this was no longer a matter of power, but a matter of the survival of their own world.
"How many people have been replaced?" The Great General Shinagawa continued to ask.
"General, it is not possible to calculate at the moment." The official who was asked had just finished a phone call and walked over. He only said a few of the more serious replacement incidents that had been reported.
"This depends on whose historical recognition is higher. If our world's recognition is higher, then even if some people are replaced, when our world devours and digests the other world, the memories of these replaced people should automatically recover."
The Great General Shinagawa did not speak again, but raised his head and looked into the distance.
There was a cloud floating over there, and through the cloud, he seemed to see another history.
Similar to this world was the Warring States period and before, the exact same characters and events, but without the Shinagawa family. Therefore, that world was the world of Oda, Toyotomi, and Tokugawa, and finally became Meiji, Taisho, and Showa.
In his lifetime, to be able to encounter such a bizarre thing, could this be considered another legendary event of him becoming a shogunate general?
Just as he was silent, suddenly, an evil wind blew.
