"The team from the Environment Ministry is carrying a helicopter!?" Suzu Ito and Ya Ye, as well as Eriko, who was staying in the shrine, turned to look at the night sky at the same time when they heard the sound of the propellers. Their expressions changed slightly as they thought to themselves, "Not good, little brother (Ah Cheng)'s battle is too loud."
Then Suzu Ito took out her mobile phone and was about to call Ya Ye's phone. However, because of the large-scale energy explosion caused by the Empyrean Heavenly Thunder and the power of the world, there was no electronic signal at all.
"Damn it!" Seeing this, Suzu Ito cursed in a low voice, turned around and quickly returned to the shrine. "Little brother, wait a moment, after sister and mother deal with the guys from the Environment Ministry, we will immediately come to find you."
"Sister and aunt will deal with them, I don't need to worry. Now, the most important thing is to find Ah Cheng." Ya Ye, who also saw the helicopters from the Environment Ministry, hesitated for a moment, then he made up his mind and continued to concentrate on searching for Sei Itō's traces.
After the two helicopters from the Environment Ministry flew to within 100 meters of the Ito Shrine, they suddenly separated in mid-air. One of the helicopters flew straight to the top of the mountain where the shrine was located and hovered there. Then the helicopter opened the door, and a burly middle-aged man with a crew cut and a thick scar from his forehead to his cheek covered his left eye. Two young twins, who looked about 26 or 27 years old, wearing the black one-piece combat suit of the Environment Ministry, walked out of the helicopter one after another and jumped into the shrine.
As for the other helicopter, it flew to the foot of the shrine and landed near the battlefield, then opened the hatch. Four people, three men and one woman, wearing the grayish-white uniform of the Environment Ministry, holding various instruments, special wide-rimmed glasses on their faces, and earphones on their ears, were released and asked them to check the situation on the battlefield.
"No, the energy here is too chaotic, we can't lock onto the energy traces at all." After a while, the only woman among the four said with a frustrated look.
"I'm the same here, I didn't collect any useful information." Another man straightened up and said.
"Me too." The man next to him who was operating the instrument and probing in the deep pit raised his head and said to the last man who remained silent.
"I understand. However, we can't just report to our boss like this. Let's try harder. "The last man sighed.
"Yes." The other two men and one woman responded in unison. Then, they operated the equipment in their hands again and began to carefully inspect the scene of the battle.
At the same time, in the shrine.
"Welcome to the Ministry of Environment. May I know what business you have with us?" Eriko was still a little weak, but she didn't show it on her face as she politely asked the three people who had fallen into the shrine.
"You're injured," the middle-aged man with a dignified expression said after sizing up Eriko.
"You have a good eye." Eriko's finger, which was hidden in the Miko-sama's sleeve, twitched slightly as she nodded in acknowledgment.
"Looks like there was a huge battle." The middle-aged man nodded slightly. He turned his head and looked at the large amount of branches, fallen leaves, and soil. It was like a shrine after a disaster, as well as the broken forest around it.
Hearing the middle-aged man's words. Eriko didn't say anything. She still stood there silently, waiting for the other party to speak.
"Just now, in the monitoring room of the Ministry of Environment, we detected a battle fluctuation with an average strength of Level A, and the highest energy fluctuation was close to Level S. I wonder if Ms. Ito can explain it to me." The middle-aged man withdrew his gaze and looked at Eriko beside him with a flat gaze and asked.
"Something just appeared here." Eriko's eyelids drooped slightly and said in a low voice.
"Everything." The middle-aged man repeated with a slight frown.
"Yes." Eriko said affirmatively. Then she explained in a low voice, "And the scene you see now is the destruction caused by the raging of Everything, and my injury was also caused by the backlash of the barrier breaking at that time."
"As far as I know, Ms. Ito's strength hasn't reached Level A yet. There shouldn't be any Level A members in your family, so how did you destroy Omni Wanxiang?" The middle-aged man closed his only eye slightly and asked.
"We didn't destroy Everything, but it was destroyed by Heavenly Thunder." Eriko replied.
The middle-aged man nodded silently. He opened his right eye again and looked at Eriko and asked, "Where is Mr. Ito now?"
"In Kyoto. He is setting up the Kyoto defense barrier with the elders who survived the war some time ago. "Eriko replied honestly," For the specific details, you can ask Ise Grand Shrine. "
"Have any strangers appeared in the vicinity recently?" The middle-aged man paused and asked again. Of course, the strangers he mentioned referred to special people. Ordinary people were not in their scope of concern.
"No." Eriko shook her head.
"Is that so?" The middle-aged man frowned slightly again and said softly. Then he reached out his hand and said to Eriko, "If you find any suspicious people nearby, please contact us immediately."
"Okay." Eriko reached out and gently shook the middle-aged man's hand.
"Akira, let's go down the mountain." The middle-aged man let go of his hand and turned to the twins behind him.
"Okay." The twins responded in unison.
"Goodbye." The middle-aged man said politely and walked down the mountain with the twins. On the way down the mountain, they just happened to pass by Suzu Ito who was rushing back to the shrine.
After Suzu Ito was a distance away, the middle-aged man walked in front of them and asked without looking back, "How is it?"
"It's not her. Her energy level is only C +." The twins said in unison.
"Oh." The middle-aged man nodded and continued to walk down the mountain silently.
"Mom." Suzu Ito, who ran back to the shrine, called out to Eriko who was standing in the shrine.
"How is it?" Eriko gave Suzu Ito a look and asked.
"Nothing." Suzu Ito's expression froze for a moment, then she said with a depressed tone.
"Is that so? Then forget it. After all, this kind of master is very elusive. There's no need to force it." Eriko softly comforted her.
"I know, mom." Suzu Ito replied.
"Let's go back to the room to rest." Eriko said as she turned around and walked to the back room.
"Okay." Suzu Ito replied and then quickly walked to Eriko's side and walked to the back room together.
"Environment Ministry?" After returning to the room, Suzu Ito silently asked Eriko. After Eriko understood, she nodded and didn't say anything.
"These bastards." Suzu Ito silently cursed.
After that, Suzu Ito and Eriko began to chat aimlessly. Of course, they didn't talk too much. The topic more or less revolved around Panopticon and Ghost Parade until they heard that the two helicopters were far away.
"Can we talk now?" Suzu Ito turned to look at Eriko and asked with her mouth.
"Don't talk about Ah Cheng and the battle tonight." Eriko also replied with her mouth.
Suzu Ito nodded knowingly. She chatted with Eriko from time to time while watching TV out of boredom. Three hours later, when the sky was bright, Ya Ye returned to the shrine with a disappointed expression.
"Sister, no …" Ya Ye was about to speak, but he was immediately stopped by Suzu Ito's hand covering his mouth. Then, she silently reminded him with her mouth, "There may be surveillance. Don't talk about Ah Cheng and the battle. Also, from now on, I'll call you Reina."
After carefully reading Suzu Ito's mouth for a moment, Ya Ye nodded in understanding. At this time, Suzu Ito removed her hand from Ya Ye's mouth and chatted with Ya Ye.
"Let's go, Reina. Let's go to sleep." Suzu Ito yawned.
"Okay." Ya Ye agreed. Then, he left the front hall with Suzu Ito and returned to the bedroom to rest.
However, whether it was Suzu Ito, Ya Ye, or Eriko, the three of them were all worried about Sei Itō's situation. Therefore, even if they rested, they could not rest well. Therefore, when it was almost noon, Eriko and the other two got out of bed one after another and gathered in the front hall. After a simple meal, Suzu Ito and Ya Ye, under the guidance of Eriko, began to tidy up the shrine's environment.
Fortunately, the three of them were not ordinary people. For this kind of work that would take an ordinary person one or two days to complete, the three of them only took a little more than half a day to tidy up and restore the shrine to its original state. Then, they began to repair the enchantment that guarded the mountain.
However, repairing the enchantment that guarded the mountain was a big project. After all, the situation this time was different from before. Previously, only some of the enchantment's base points were damaged. They only needed to replace the base points. However, this time, the entire enchantment that guarded the mountain had collapsed. The energy and explosion caused by the collapse had damaged most of the base points. It was almost equivalent to having to rearrange the enchantment. It was not something that the three of them could complete in a short time.
However, these seven days were the craziest days of the Yue Laan Hungry Ghost Festival. There was no time for Eriko and the other two to recover. Therefore, Eriko and the other two could only hope that the explosion caused by the destruction of Omniscient Nature would disperse the wandering ghosts, allowing them to repair the enchantment with peace of mind.
It was unknown whether it was because Eriko and the other two's wishes were fulfilled, or because Omniscient Nature's death had caused a large area around the shrine to be cleared of ghosts. For two days, not a single ghost appeared near the shrine. This allowed Eriko and the other two to heave a long sigh of relief. They were more at ease to repair the enchantment.
As for Sei Itō's whereabouts, although Suzu Ito and Ya Ye had gone out to search for him, they could not find any trace of him. The three of them could only pray silently in their hearts, hoping that Sei Itō would be safe and sound. Among them, Ya Ye's psychological pressure was less than Eriko and Suzu Ito's. After all, she knew that Sei Itō had the Rubik's Cube world. If his injuries were too serious, Sei Itō might directly enter the Rubik's Cube world to recover. Therefore, she did not have to worry too much about his safety.
