People from the Ministry of Defense did not take it lightly. Even though they knew that there might be no harvest, they still made a routine request to visit the entire shrine——
It is indeed a routine matter. When making such a request, they repeatedly emphasized that they just wanted to visit, not search or anything. They hoped that Higurashi Shrine would not misunderstand. And if they were really unwilling, they would never force it.<
/p>
It seems very contradictory, but it is very easy to understand.
Although they are collecting clues about the inheritance of mysterious power, they have not found any clues so far. But that is what it is. Not finding it does not mean that it does not exist. It is more likely that the other side is hiding something and not letting them discover it.
...Just like what happened on the streets of Tokyo, no one noticed it before that.
——But who can deny its authenticity now?
——You have to realize that it has only been more than a week since the bombing near the city center!
The people who were directly affected were to some extent frightened out of their psychological shadow, and the people who did not know the inside story were also furious and held demonstrations to protest against the atrocities of the US military stationed in Japan...
Although this is of no use, the Americans are not even willing to deal with it. Now they are concentrating on Mount Fuji and don't want to pay attention to the protests of the people. Even if it weren't for the lack of manpower, it would not be the turn to defend the homeland now.
The province's newly established special department came to investigate these things, and they definitely want to wrap up everything...
And even in the current situation, they have put pressure on the Japanese government and issued orders without any room for negotiation. Any findings must be reported, and there should be no wishful thinking.
Not to mention the Americans' arrogance and taking it for granted, those of them who are doing practical things now have complicated emotions. They are worried that he will not come, but they are also worried that he will mess around...
They want to definitely find the existence of the mysterious power, but they are worried that if they really find it, misunderstandings will occur due to improper communication, which will eventually lead to terrible conflicts.
After all, the mysterious power should definitely exist. There is a giant nine-tailed demon fox appearing on the streets of Tokyo, a woman who is said to look like an ancient princess, and a woman dressed as a traditional witch... These are all things they have collected and confirmed during this time.
Although strictly speaking, it is still very vague clue information.
In this era, there is really no video or audio left by chance at the scene, and the number of people who directly witnessed the scene is relatively limited, and they all seemed to be frightened, and each of them spoke vaguely.
The words are vague and cannot provide more useful information.
So much so that the authorities still can't piece together the general outline of what happened, or even why such a battle suddenly broke out that day...
Those powers that only live in legends, which had always disappeared before, why did they suddenly pop up without warning that day, and even started fighting with each other...
They didn't know anything about any of this, and they also had a lot of headaches about it. Although they always felt that there was some secret hidden in it, it was so chaotic that day, and it happened on the streets of Tokyo. It ended up being bombed by the US military. They didn't know how many people were involved, and how many people were involved.
In terms of aspects, the workload of troubleshooting is beyond imagination.
But no matter what, if it has not appeared before and is now confirmed to exist, then according to normal logic, it must be because those forces are deliberately hiding themselves.
And since it was intentionally hidden, I naturally didn’t want to be discovered by them.
None of them have been able to confirm it yet, but because of this, they dare not take it lightly. They all follow the steps strictly according to the rules and regulations, and emphasize their sincerity over and over again, and absolutely do not have any presumptuous thoughts... p>
——I am afraid that if I really win the lottery, something will happen to me, and I will become cannon fodder in the conflict.
Naturally, there were no problems at Higurashi Shrine, so they were allowed to visit it.
After all, ordinary people can't see what's special about the sacred tree...
And for ordinary people, the ancient well that can travel through time and space is just a dry well...
As for Inuyasha, he wasn't slow enough to wait for them to come over. He didn't know how to run away until he found himself...
——So everything ended in regret, and it seemed that it was really just an ordinary shrine.
It seems to have a long heritage and rich historical heritage... But who can run a private shrine or temple in this country? Who is not like this? People from the Ministry of Defense felt somewhat relieved while being disappointed.
After saying a few more polite words, he left.
Higurashi Kagome, who had always been worried, breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't relax for long before she couldn't help but become worried again.
After all, she has been struggling in the chaotic Warring States period until now. This experience has made her much more mature than her peers, and she will naturally consider more aspects.
She asked her grandfather for the pile of medical records. While her scalp was numb, she had the urge to find a crack in the ground to get in. She also struggled seriously, feeling that she needed to make this part more real...for example
The people Grandpa asked for help all thought that she was indeed sick, instead of remembering that they were asked to issue false certificates.
It would be best to supplement the hospital records.
While the current situation is still chaotic, before your own shrine becomes the focus of attention.
It just requires the use of some unscientific power, and this also made Higurashi Kagome couldn't help but twitch her lips. She suddenly found that her growth during this period still had many shortcomings.
She clearly inherited the huge spiritual power that surpassed the entire era, but apart from her instinctive squandering and directing it to bows and arrows——
I really don’t know how to use it. It seems... I haven’t mastered even a little extra spell.
Of course, you can't blame her for not working hard. She is not an indomitable person. Over there, she needs to collect the Four Souls Jade and fight against monsters and ghosts. Over here, she needs to work hard to cope with the pressure of the entrance season while taking leave. She is already very busy...
…
Under such circumstances, how can we ask this girl to have extra energy to take care of other things?
With a long sigh, Higurashi Kagome looked in the direction of the ancestral hall. She could only go back and ask Master Maitreya for advice... Well, there is also the little fox Qibao who may be able to help. Although the little fox demon is not very powerful in combat,
Illusion can still play some role.
Not long ago, after seeing the power of the big monster and discovering that the monster fox could be that strong, I seemed a little misled...
I don’t know whether Qibao has found the right direction because of this, or whether he has lost himself because of it. It is said that during this period, the little guy was unusually uncharacteristic, working hard to exercise his demon power and practice magic every day...
But overall... this is probably a good thing?
……
……
Still the same sentence.
People's joys and sorrows are not the same, so while Kagome Higurashi is worried to the point of baldness and trying to clean up the mess, someone on the other side is living a very fulfilling and happy life.
But it's the same thing. He has already helped save the world. He has no interest in meddling in the remaining aftermath... Anyway, the protagonist Tuan Tianming has been added, and the correction force in this direction is restrained.
It does seem to exist, and there is no need to worry too much at all.
Now Gu Mo is taking the witch around to relax, sightseeing and relaxing during the day, and staying up late to study at night——
Because the mental power is so strong, as long as a considerable part of it is not violently consumed in the battle, then the rhythm maintained at the level of ordinary people will be minimal in terms of loss, and it is not even as fast as his recovery speed.
……
Therefore, Gu Mo really doesn't need much rest. He is always in high spirits, so he naturally has to make use of his time at night.
emmmmmmm, in a sense, this can be regarded as at least doubling the length of his life?
I didn’t have time to study hard before, but now I not only have time, but also actually choose a profession. I can’t say how much bonus there will be in this aspect, but the accumulation speed of targeted professional experience has become “normal”.
, is no longer as outrageously low as before.
Therefore, Gu Mo's progress is pretty good, and the inheritance left by the old immortal focuses on illusions and changes, which is barely consistent with Gu Mo's development direction.
After preliminary further study, he is mastering the relevant knowledge in this area bit by bit. Although it is still quite elementary, it is a systematic introduction.
So——
The days pass day by day...
The number of scrolls Gu Mo has read has gradually increased, so the accumulated experience is very intuitively and concretely reflected on the skills page in the system panel. It is the slow but steady accumulation of proficiency, filling the progress bar...<
/p>
Just like the photo film he took, the thickness slowly increased unconsciously.
The scenery outside the window quickly recedes, it is the sky and the sea, or the endless flower fields...
The long tram passes over the bridge standing over the river, or speeds along the coastline...
Cities, forests, fields, oceans, snow-capped mountains, green grass, as if traveling through the four seasons vertically in time...
…………
……
The time has come.
The so-called summer scenery and poetry are naturally lively festivals.
Wearing a yukata, fishing for goldfish, and parading at the fireworks show with a uchiwa fan... these were things that Gu Mo had only seen in animation, so they were also quite novel.
In his understanding, summer festivals are folk festivals such as temple fairs in this country. There will be celebrations and parades. The places where festivals are held often have snacks, souvenirs and other vendors, which naturally makes them very lively. Under the thick darkness of night, the sky is like a deep blue sea. With the sound of flutes and drums, many large and small floats parade along the street, and ancient stories that are incomprehensible are depicted on the floats.
The crowd was noisy and lively on the road, and some people were dancing to drums.
On the river next to it, there is also a ship sailing on the water. The gorgeous lights complement the dark river at night, and the colors are gorgeous and spectacular.
There were so many people, and almost all of them were wearing cool yukata, so in this situation, Gu Mo seemed a little out of place... Of course, he didn't care too much.
The main reason is that the miko has no intention of changing into other clothes, and since she has no such intention, Gu Mo naturally has no interest in it. The reason why he seems a bit different is because Kikyo itself is in traditional miko clothing.
In a festival like this, which is similar to a temple fair, it would not be said to be out of place, and it seems that some of the programs or rituals themselves are hosted by Shinto people like shrine maidens.
"There are so many people..."
At this time, the witch next to her sighed softly. She looked at the gorgeous and lively party and the bustling crowd, and her tone seemed a little inexplicable.
"There are quite a few. After all, it is a rare festival, especially because something big happened not long ago, and people are probably in urgent need of comfort and distraction..."
Gu Mo shrugged, and then looked at the witch's eyebrows carefully.
"But having said that, Kikyo, you don't seem to like crowded and noisy places..."
Their appearance at this festival was a coincidence. When they came to the local area during the day, they discovered that it was very lively. After asking about it, they found out that there was a fireworks display at night.
But it’s just out of curiosity that I stayed until now, rather than coming here specifically for this. If Kikyo is uncomfortable with such a lively and noisy occasion, there is no need to force it.
"No, I like it very much..."
The soft voice sounded, bringing Gu Mo back to reality from his thoughts. He nodded calmly and said:
"In that case, let's leave here now."
"?"
Kikyo turned her head slightly in surprise and looked at him with strange eyes.
"..."
"..."
"Ah, I thought you meant...ah hahahahaha, I made a mistake, I made a mistake..." Gu Mo reacted and said haha, but it wasn't too embarrassing.
People make mistakes and horses make mistakes. Occasionally small mistakes are understandable and understandable.
Then, he stared at the miko with some uncertainty: "But is it really okay? Kikyo, don't you prefer...well, don't you prefer quiet places?"
"I don't like too much noise, but... this kind of excitement is not annoying." The witch said softly. She turned her eyes and looked around, with a soft smile on her lips.
She still likes this scene very much...
With the lights dimmed, the dark night no longer looks scary, but becomes an embellishment of some kind of background...
It may be very lively, but it is quieter than when every household goes to bed early and worries about the dangers lurking in the night...
She still likes to see this kind of bustling scene with thousands of lights. In the noisy environment, it gives her a sense of inner peace.
"That's it, that's good..."
Gu Mo confirmed her expression and nodded gently. It was better not to force it. After all, she was the one who would do this. Even if she didn't like it very much, she would be dishonest in order not to disappoint.
Of course, many people are like this, including him... As long as he is not completely self-centered, he will take into account the other person's thoughts and feelings to some extent.
The stalls on the roadside are one after another, with adults and children passing between them, and there is constant laughter and laughter.
Even the usually deserted Platycodon seemed to be infected by the atmosphere of the festival. Although she did not participate in it, there was a hint of human smoke and a little more heat in her body.
Gu Mo raised the camera quite naturally and looked at the witch.
Kikyo sighed softly and turned away slightly unnaturally. She had gradually gotten used to it, but she was still not used to expressing herself in front of the camera.
However, Gu Mo didn't have time to press the shutter yet.
A voice came from the front, carrying hope, expectation and anxiety, a little stuttering and hesitant. Just listening to the voice can make people think of the shyness of the girl who spoke.
"Hello... hello, I saw you have a camera... I... I, you... I mean, can you take a photo for me? I came out with my friend. She... she had a camera.
..."
Just like the other girls at the fireworks festival, some bold and bold girls also wear colorful and beautiful yukata, their hair is combed into a bun, they are holding bags in their hands, and wearing clogs at their feet.
She stammered and looked for reasons for her reckless behavior, as if she wanted to give a reasonable explanation, but she became more and more confused and her confidence was seriously lacking.
Her voice became lower and lower later on, and her cheeks became redder instead. But even so, she still mustered up the courage as much as possible, and stared straight into the open space in front of her boldly and shyly.
——There is obviously no one there.
Some of the people around were sighing, some were smiling knowingly, and some were shouting and cheering for the girls.
Gu Mo here twitched the corner of his mouth and was about to politely refuse, but the witch next to him suddenly said: "Help her, it's nothing anyway..."
She seemed to feel slightly relieved.
"Okay - are you right here? Please stand still..." Gu Mo nodded calmly and said this.
"Thank you, thank you..."
When the girl who was more than ten meters away heard this, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and then thanked the empty space in front of her. The people around her seemed to be used to it.
Kikyo calmly glanced at someone next to her.
What people feel through their five senses is not reality. It is just external information received by the eyes, ears and other sensory perceptions. It is transmitted to the brain through nerve signals and transformed into everything that people experience.
This person's illusion is not particularly excessive, but it also creates a bias in the perception of people around him. For example, he is clearly walking this way, but in other people's eyes, he is over there.
That's why the girl talks to the air in front of her...
And the people around me don’t think there’s anything wrong with it…
Although I don’t quite understand why he does this, and I don’t quite believe this person’s statement that he is practicing illusions... After all, his true form is such a terrifying demon fox, so he must have already mastered illusions.
However, Kikyo didn’t say anything. It wasn’t a big problem anyway, so he just let this person be, just treat it as a small evil in his nature...
"Okay, take it...this is your photo."
The girl was excited, trying to organize her words and thinking about what to do next, but found that the young man opposite had smiled gently, put down the camera, and handed over a photo.
"This...this...shouldn't it be to develop the film?" The girl was a little dazed.
"No, this is the latest technology. You can print out the photos immediately while shooting..." Gu Mo said seriously, "You are lucky, little sister. You just happened to meet me when you wanted to take photos. It is convenient and fast..." In fact, it is the application of "reading and writing".
Even if the development direction of his spiritual power is more inclined to spiritual interference, it does not mean that the application in other fields will become insulated.
For example, while strengthening his ability to interfere with the mind, he can also use his powerful and outward spiritual thoughts to interfere with the external environment, drive objects and materials, etc... This can also be regarded as the use of telekinesis, but this development direction does not have
Gain enhanced amplification.
Therefore, during this period of intensive digging, some relatively simple and superficial mental abilities have emerged. They are not independent skills, but natural branch extensions after the mental power grows to a certain level.
"Reading and writing" is one of them. You can directly present the images you see or think about on paper, film and other media.
I...I don't want this kind of luck...
The girl was stunned for a while after hearing this, and took the photo with some tears in her eyes. She looked at the image on the photo and was stunned for a while.
It is indeed her in the photo, but the other person clearly took the photo in front of me. Why did he take this kind of... this kind of... It seems that he was more than ten meters away from the side and behind, and he took a random photo just to include her.
What does the photo feel like?
She glanced back subconsciously, but found nothing. When she turned her head again, she found that the person in front of her had disappeared, and she didn't know where she went.
………
(PS: I’m so exhausted... I didn’t finish my work until this afternoon. Today, I walked about 11 kilometers back and forth in the deep mountains and old forests under the bright sun. Not counting the weeding and cleaning work of the five mountain tombs, everyone was numb.
Okay... I took the time to code this chapter on my mobile phone during the past two days, I'm sorry...)
