The emotional problems between the Father God and the Mother God in Japanese mythology, the confusion of Kagutsuchi's inexplicable disappearance after being killed by the Ten Fist Sword, and the disaster that caused the entire world's mythology system to suddenly disappear for thousands of years...
There is too much news and it is too shocking.
The old monk felt that his head was faintly showing signs of death.
The most important thing is that Kagutsuchi God remained awake during the disaster that lasted for thousands of years, and during the process he also talked with the souls who went to the underworld.
Even though I was in hell, the information I got was definitely not comprehensive.
But it's better than them not knowing at all, right?
How can the mythical mystery that troubling mankind be solved so easily? Thinking of it, the old monk raised his head, only to be met with a pair of black, teasing eyes.
"I think too much, please forgive me!"
Don't hesitate to bow your head and admit defeat. An ascetic is an ascetic, but that doesn't mean he has to be upright and that he has to trace his roots. That's not a monk, that's the neighborhood committee aunt.
"Well, there are some things that I can say that you can't ask. Even if you have speculations in your heart, you should keep them in your stomach. Do you understand? I like smart people, and I like smart servants even more!" Kagutsuchi leaned against the Buddha statue with one leg crossed.
, stretched out his hand and a black flame condensed in his palm.
Jingle bell.
A black jade button fell from mid-air and made a crisp sound when it hit the ground.
"Arrange a few clever young novices to go to the place you mentioned, find the shrine dedicated to that bad old man, and tell him that he'd better tie himself up and come to Kyoto before I free up my hands. I'll take him to see his mother, otherwise he'll have to wait.
If I have time, I won’t have such good treatment.”
"This black jade is my token. With it, monsters, ghosts and gods will not trouble them. When necessary, I can use it to ask those ghosts and gods for help three times... What's wrong?"
Um?
The old monk who picked up the black jade button watched helplessly as Kagutsuchi's eyes, which were leaning on the altar table, became brighter and brighter, as if black flames were burning. What did he seem to be excited about?
It's really exciting.
I originally thought that the main body was so slow to open the door from the underworld to the present world because the population of Kyoto had been transported away long ago. Unexpectedly, there were more than 300,000 people left behind, and now I secretly prepared to use the underground sewage system
Escape.
Since we weren't ready to leave before, let's stay together and play with these monsters.
"Intercept them. If someone escapes, you don't have to come back to see me again!"
"Kagutsuchi" said this.
The next moment, the thick black fog gathering in the mountain forest quickly spread.
In the image of the Tenma Kai*-1 satellite, the dense fog like a black mole confined to the island nation of Kyoto suddenly spread to the surroundings. In just over ten minutes, the entire Kyoto was shrouded in black fog, and countless demons
, ghosts and gods came from the mountains and forests.
They ran and flew, laughing wildly, and headed towards the city. Countless sewer manhole covers on both sides of the street were opened by these demons, and the demons filed in one after another. There were shouts at the top of their lungs:
"Find those escaping humans and throw them back to the city center!"
"Quick, don't delay, everyone will die if you fail!"
Countless demons, ghosts and gods sneaked into the ground from sewer entrances all over Kyoto, and wandered everywhere in the sewage pipes extending in all directions. It didn't take long for them to find the fleeing humans. Then, one passed to three, and three to five, more and more
Demons block humans at underground intersections from all directions.
Looking at the ferocious monsters and monsters blocking the intersection in front of them and behind them, with a pair of glaring scarlet eyes. The people taking refuge were panicked at first, and then uncontrollable despair swept through everyone's body and mind. Under the shadow of death, the crowd collapsed.
Cries, commotion, and begging for mercy were heard far and wide in the sewers.
"No, don't panic..."
"Quiet, quiet down, please believe that we can rush out!"
"don't want....."
The staff of the Public Security Department kept trying to persuade, but with little success. Especially when several soldiers who gritted their teeth and prepared to kill the demon were killed, the collapse was unstoppable.
The fear of most people who were in chaos spread among the crowd without limit, and the determination of those combatants who had gritted their teeth and persisted was also shaken by them.
"Hey hey hey, we caught them, take them all back to the city center and wait for His Highness."
Minister Tamura, who was dragged out of the sewer by two kappas, leaned weakly on the fire hydrant and stared blankly at the sky:
"...It failed...Riko, father, mother, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back..."
Yasuda Hiroshi had a bad premonition when he saw the black fog suddenly spreading from satellite images, but the thick black fog blocked the satellite's observation. After that, they lost control of Kyoto. While waiting anxiously for half a month
An hour later, when the waiting place at the front line still hadn't received any Kyoto personnel who ran out of the sewers, his heart felt cold.
Failed!
The escape from Kyoto was discovered by the demons on parade. More than 300,000 ordinary residents, nearly 10,000 members of the Public Security Bureau, nearly a thousand combatants of the investigation team, and hundreds of priests were all captured. It was okay if nothing happened to these people.
But if something goes wrong, he, including most of the officials in the conference room, will have to bear the blame.
Holding on to the last glimmer of hope.
He took a deep breath and asked the secretary behind him: "Isn't it resolved with Saori Godson?"
"No."
"What about the priests at Meiji Shrine? Aren't they trying to communicate with the great gods of Takamagahara? What's the effect?"
"....Something went wrong and the gods of the night didn't respond. They wanted to wait until daybreak before trying to call Amaterasu."
"Where are the monks in the temple? The gods and Buddhas didn't respond either?"
Looking at his minister's face, which was as dark as the bottom of a pot, although he didn't want to hurt his mentality any more, he said:
"I did respond, but... the one who responded was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. But now the Bodhisattva and many gods are busy dealing with the even more chaotic underworld, and they can't spare any time to manage the underworld phenomenon in Kyoto."
"...."
Is your secretary a poisonous person? There is never any good news for you, but bad news comes one after another.
Of course, Yasuda Hiroshi just complained in his heart. He knew that this had nothing to do with his little secretary. Moreover, the priests and mages also tried their best.
But no one thought that these evil gods would be so cunning, and they would wait until all their power was released before opening the passage to Kyoto.
