Chapter 174 Demon Crack (there will be another chapter tonight)
Chapter 174 Demon Crack (a chapter in the morning)
The headquarters of the Taishi Bureau is located in Chiyoda Ward in the east of Tokyo, which is also the area where the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is located.
As a public agency responsible for maintaining public order and responding to evil disasters by the island government in the parallel world, the Taishi Bureau was the first to be under the jurisdiction of the island country's police department.
The Japanese National Police Agency is responsible for the public security and police operations of the entire Japanese nation. It is responsible for the command of the Japanese police situation preparation, crime identification, crime statistics and other affairs, and is the Japanese administrative agency that supervises the police of each prefecture.
The Taishi Bureau was originally a branch under the jurisdiction of the Police Department.
But later, as to whether to strengthen the fight against evil disasters, the island government specifically transferred the Taishi Bureau from the East Police Department and established a separate public agency, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the island government.
This public institution is the Taishi Bureau of Ming Dynasty.
The headquarters of the Taishi Bureau is located to the west of Chiyoda, in a group of buildings centered on a tall building called the Taishi Museum.
At this moment, in the Taishi Museum, Hoshino Ryoko, the head of the Taishi Bureau's Demonic Reduction Section, was handling official business outside his office.
As the head of the demon removal class, Hoshino Ryoko is usually responsible for dealing with demonic disasters.
The demon removal class, as the name suggests, is a department that specializes in eliminating demon disasters.
Even though Hoshino Ryoko is just a section chief, she actually has quite a lot of power.
Because those established under the East Branch of the Taishi Bureau are not allowed to take classes.
They are divided into several departments including General Affairs Division, Life Safety Division, Traffic Division, Security Division, Curses Search Division, Curses Decoration Division, and Demonic Reduction Division.
In addition to the Curse Costume Class, the Demonic Removal Class is the department with the strongest armed force in the Taishi Bureau.
Moreover, the Taishi Bureau is an independent public agency, and its section chief is equivalent to the minister of the general administrative agency of an island country.
Therefore, Ryoko Hoshino, the head of the Demonic Reduction Department, can be considered one of the top leaders outside the Taishi Bureau.
As a public official, Ryoko Hoshino was not allowed to take a day off tomorrow.
However, due to the recent high-profile cold illness incident, the entire Taishi Bureau has been in an extremely busy state for the past few days.
Like the Witch Organization, they are also facing tremendous pressure and are eager to investigate the cause of the Cold Disease Incident.
Therefore, Ryoko Hoshino could not go to that meeting without feeling happy.
Fortunately, she had received information from the witch agency, and the witch agency had found clues.
So at that moment, Ryoko was preparing to send out a special team to cooperate with the miko organization to investigate the truth as soon as possible.
"There has been news from the Witch Agency that they will launch a surprise attack on the wrong target at noon, and orders have also been sent from the agency headquarters, asking them to cooperate with their actions.
Rina-san, send out the elite spiritual officers from the first branch, the fourth branch and the seventh branch, and then borrow some people from the urn costume class. That time, we must investigate the source of the cold disease clearly."
"No, Principal!"
The short-haired female exterminator named Rina replied energetically, and quickly asked:
"Section Chief, who should be sent to lead the team that time?"
"Well, let Chief Nitta of the first branch be the team leader. He seems to remember whether he is in Hachioji Town!"
After thinking for a while, Liangzi quickly gave the answer.
Among the three branches, the head of the first branch, Shinsuke Nitta, is the strongest and possesses the strength of a national second-level spiritual exterminator.
So he is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
"Um, section chief..."
"What's wrong?"
"Chief Nitta Branch is on a mission to destroy the demon rift in Hachioji Town. I'm afraid he won't be able to get away for a while..."
"Well... it's too late. He forgot about it. Then let's change him to the Chiba Branch Chief of the Seventh Branch!"
After Rina reminded her, Ryoko remembered that it was because Hachioji Town had detected a new demon rift in the past two months.
Therefore, the Bureau specially sent Nitta out to carry out the task of destroying the demon rift.
"No, Principal!"
In this way, after changing the team leader, Rina quickly went east to inform.
After Rina left, when Ryoko was about to continue handling official duties, there was a knock on her door again.
Thumb thump thump~
"Come in!"
"Mother, deny him!"
Rumi Hoshino walked in through the door. At this moment, she was walking smoothly and her face looked as usual. She looked sick that night.
"Why am I here? Didn't you let me have a good rest outside the lounge?"
Seeing that her daughter was disobedient, Liangzi suddenly felt unhappy.
"Mom, he has recovered. He needs rest..."
Hoshino trotted up to Ryoko, pulled her calf and said coquettishly.
After a pause, she added quietly.
"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to Hao..."
However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Ryoko waving her leg.
"That won't work either. We really need to observe it for a few more days."
"Can you..."
Seeing that her daughter wanted to say something, Ryoko interrupted her again.
"No, he knows what I am doing. Don't worry, my mother won't tell anyone about it, and I won't do anything wrong to Mr. Haoren. My mother needs to observe him for a while."
"Mom, what am I observing so much? I told you whether Mr. Haoren has secretly learned some sorcery!"
When Ryoko said that, Hoshi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
In fact, that morning, her mother asked her about why Haoren knew sorcery. Did she lie at that time?
She did not tell the fact that Haoren was not a nine-tailed fox demon, but lied that Haoren had secretly learned some sorcery.
Although that kind of thing is rare, there are indeed exceptions. Like Aobozu in No Youma, there are some humans with special physiques.
For another example, for research purposes, some researchers in some research institutions have successfully transferred a small amount of demonic power into their own bodies through high-tech transplanted legs, and thus learned some low-level demonic arts.
But that kind of special case is just a special case after all.
Hoshino obviously wanted to say something, but Ryoko didn't give her the chance.
"I don't have to worry about that, now I just want to have a good rest.
Come, take Rumei eastward!"
…
At noon on Saturday, north of Hachioji Town, there was a sparsely populated hilly area.
Haoren quietly arrived there with Xue Ji, Zhongchuan Yong and Xiao Hua.
After concluding the conversation with Xiaohua, after careful consideration, Haoren decided to go to the Demon Crack to find out.
What really prompted him to make that decision was not the space rock, but what Xiaohua said was the magical thing that could repair demon treasures and spiritual treasures.
I want to know that he just received Tamamo-mae's inheritance not long ago. Among them was a broken mirror, which is said to be the Yata Mirror, one of the three artifacts of the island country.
The mirror was damaged and could not exert its original power.
After asking Xue Ji and Xiao Hua, the two demons both said that maybe that thing could repair the Yata Mirror.
So Haoren hesitated.
Because, once the mirror is repaired, its terrifying power will be beyond compare.
What I wish for most is that the mirror has powerful regeneration and healing powers, and it might be able to cure Hoshino's cold illness.
Curing Hoshino's cold illness is what Haoren wants to do most at the moment.
Therefore, he had not made that decision before.
