Onizuka Kiriho: "During this period, our people, together with experts in the fields of religion, folklore, and mysticism, conducted research and investigation on the symbols left by Ezaki Kazu and appearing on the time scroll of Xuzhou Barbarian Girl.
The specific research process is all written down in the report in your hand, Achuan."
"Preliminary speculation screened out many potentially relevant symbols, but after careful elimination and further discussion and research, the scholars finally gave relatively unanimous opinions - they all believed that this symbol should come from the ancient Slavic mythology system and was
Called Croft."
From what the little miko told me, during the time when Kamiyagawa spent most of his energy on improving his power in the ordinary world, the countermeasures room in the current world also did a lot of work.
Moreover, regarding the true identity of the "Izumi Ugly Girl", even Satoru's future vision could not directly see through it before. However, the countermeasures room concentrated its efforts and found some clues and clues for reference.
While listening to Onizuka's brief description, Kamiyagawa continued to flip through the information in his hand to obtain more information related to "Kroflat".
According to the data content, the word Kroflat is a purely transliterated word, which refers to the symbol itself and has no actual meaning.
It is also possible that the word "Kroflat" originally had a meaning, but due to its age, its true meaning has become difficult to confirm.
The occurrence of this situation is related to the situation of Slavic culture and myth itself.
Slavic mythology belongs to a dying mythological system——
The Slavs were one of the first three barbarian tribes in Europe.
Before the tenth century AD, the Slavic nation did not form a relatively unified centralized power, nor did it have a mature writing system, so the worship of gods was more of a form of oral transmission.
After the tenth century, with the strong invasion of Christian culture, the already fragmented Slavic god system was shattered into pieces.
Even most of the original Slavic mythological materials that exist today were recorded and preserved by Christian missionaries who preached in Eastern Europe at this stage.
From this point of view, the situation of Slavic mythology is similar to the Ainu mythology system in Japan that was "dismembered" by Shintoism.
As for whether the fragmentation of the mythical belief system in the world will have an impact on the gods behind it, judging from Kamiyagawa's personal experience, it will more or less.
After all, the belief base provided by human beings in this world is huge and of high quality. The fragmentation and demise of the mythological system in this world means that the ancient Slavic gods have become unable to obtain this resource. Without the supply of faith given by this world, if they want to fight against the "divine products"
The difficulty level of "The Nest Projection"'s invasion of the world of Slavic mythology will definitely increase.
However, this kind of thing cannot be generalized.
For example, the Milk Sea myth belongs to a mythological system that still has a huge supply of beliefs even in this world. However, from a practical point of view, the gods of the Milk Sea perished because they could not resist the invasion of nests outside the territory.
"Anyway, if the true identity of the Izumi Ugly Girl is really a god from Slavic mythology, then the corresponding Slavic mythological world behind it must no longer exist." Kamiyagawa thought this way.
Let’s look at it in conjunction with the “Void Boat Barbarian Girl” incident.
The image of the "barbarian princess" recorded in this incident does not have an Asian face, so it is speculated that it may have drifted from the United Kingdom, Bangladesh or Russia. This is consistent with the symbol "Kroflat"
This conclusion from Slavic countries corresponds to each other.
Let’s look at the description of the symbol “Kroflat” itself.
The information Kamiya has on hand gives some reference images of Kroflat, and quite a few of them seem to be derived from unearthed ceramic artifacts, and there are some variant images.
For example, the central pattern is an image of two overlapping crosses, with a left-turn line extending from the end of the cross.
But no matter what the variation is, it cannot escape the basis of the "cross with left-turning arms" in the center of the circular pattern. The difference is nothing more than a different number of arms.
As for the meaning of the Kroflat symbol, scholars who study Slavic culture today cannot come to a unified conclusion, and there are constant disputes. There are currently three mainstream opinions and analyzes -
Some believe this image represents a chariot wheel.
Some people also think that this represents the "air and water" elements in ancient alchemy.
Others believe it symbolizes the cycle of life and rebirth.
Combining the information Kamiya had on hand, Onizuka Kiriho continued to explain:
"At present, it can only be roughly determined that the true identity of the so-called 'Devil's Time' and the 'imposter' is a certain god from Slavic mythology, or at least something similar to a god. After the world of Slavic mythology was shattered, He
He survived by chance, but by some strange combination of circumstances, he came to Japan on a virtual boat, joined the underworld forces, and then began to act under the name of a brand new god, that is, Izumi Jin Ugly Girl."
"However, there is a contradiction in this speculation, that is, the Kyushu Barbarian Girl incident was recorded as taking place in the Edo period, but if Kaitoki is really the Izumi Chou Girl, she should have come to Japan even longer ago."
"If the inference is correct, then there are only two explanations for this contradiction——"
"One is the incident of the Xuzhou Barbarian Girl. It actually happened in an older era. There are certain fallacies in the spread of this incident. In other words, the so-called story that happened in the Heian period itself is a reflection of later people's understanding of an older time.
An allusion to the story.”
"The other is that maybe there is another Izumi Ugly Girl in Japan. And this Huangquan God itself fell and died in the subsequent God War. Later, when he arrived in Japan, he inherited the name of this fallen old god in some way.
.For example, accepting the divine bones that originally belonged to the ugly girl from Quanjin."
From this, I have learned quite a lot about ordinary situations from Kamiya, and the summary of the little witch is quite comprehensive and well-organized.
"Well, judging from the current situation, it is indeed possible." Kamiya nodded.
He felt that Yingying's logical ability was always online, and she often hit the nail on the head when analyzing events.
Following this conjecture, let’s review the experience of Haishi——
Not only did he escape the destruction of his own mythical world, but he also survived the subsequent fierce battle between gods in Izumo to this day...
What is the ultimate endurance king?
He is so alive and his vitality cannot be said to be tenacious.
"Because the Kroflat symbol is obviously associated with the time of Hai, it is now speculated that this symbol is related to His former authority. Combining the current analysis of the three meanings of the Kroflat symbol, we can analyze his true identity
Made some speculation——"
Onizuka continued speaking, and raised three slender white fingers and waved them gently in front of Kamiyagawa.
"First, the God of War, which symbolizes the chariot wheel. The supreme god Sventovit in Slavic mythology, and the 'three-faced' Triglav, both have strong beliefs in the God of War. However, considering Heshi's behavior,
I think the possibility that He was originally the God of War is very small."
"Second, the god of magic who symbolizes alchemical elements. There are only two related Slavic gods whose specific names are currently known. The prototype is Zanilcha, a black dragon who is also the source of magic, and Barba, the witch of death and chicken feet.
Yaga.”
"Third, the goddess of reproduction, Siwa, who symbolizes the cycle of life."
"In addition, it cannot be ruled out that he is an ancient Slavic god or mythical creature whose name has been passed down. Among the existing conjectures, I personally prefer that the true identity of Heshi is Siwa, the goddess of fertility."
"You said reproduction." Kamiyagawa thought about Onizuka's words and soon understood the latter's brain circuit, "Hai Toki changes the identity by opening the victim's abdomen from the inside... Hotaru, what do you think of this?
The act symbolizes reproduction? Um... He 'brought' himself out of the victim's body?"
"I do think so." Onizuka nodded.
Well, this interpretation of "reproduction" is really too scary and weird.
However, there is indeed a certain possibility.
And compared to the Supreme God Sventovit, the source of magic Zanilcha, etc., at first glance, these gods give people the impression that they are of extremely high style.
It really doesn’t match the tone of what Haishi did.
In comparison, the levels of "Baba Yaga, the witch of death and chicken feet" and "Siwa, the goddess of fertility" are still more consistent with Haishi.
Also, Kamiya just felt that Haishi's vitality is extremely tenacious. His true identity may not be the most capable of fighting among the old Slavic gods, but he must be the most viable one.
Thinking about it this way, the possibility that she is Shiva, the fertility goddess symbolizing the cycle of life, increases.
Kamiyagawa: "So, these are all the information related to Haishi that we have so far, right?"
Onizuka Kiriho: "That's right. The Countermeasures Room is investigating Shiva, the goddess of reproduction. However, there are too few Slavic mythological records in existence. It is really impossible to confirm to what extent we can know exactly."
To grasp the true identity of Haishi or the ugly girl of Quanjin, at least we can know ourselves and our enemies. If we are lucky, we might even be able to go one step further and find Haishi's current hiding place in advance.
Even though Satoru's "future vision" can't sense that place, it can't be said that it will never be found.
Kamiya unconditionally trusts Satoru, but he will not completely rely on Satoru.
In short, the investigation currently being conducted by the Countermeasures Room is beneficial and harmless.
"Firefaction, try your best to gather the personnel investigating these matters together. I will arrange manpower to guard and protect the relevant personnel." Kamiyagawa put down the information in his hand and said, "As soon as the matter progresses, we will contact you at any time.
Contact me. Also, you should be more careful."
As he spoke, he raised his right hand and made a weak pulling motion.
A thin and bright red thread floated out from his wrist and connected with Onizuka's wrist.
"I understand."
Onizuka felt the pulse-like beating sensation on his wrist and nodded seriously.
"Then next..." Kamiyagawa stood up from the sofa, "To be on the safe side, I want to do a check-up on you."
"examine?"
Onizuka watched Kamiyakawa lock the office door and tighten the curtains with a clang, feeling a little confused.
"Yes, relax. Now, turn around..."
"Okay... okay..."
In the dim room, the bright red rope that tied the two people tightened and loosened, fluttering.
However, Kamiyagawa's personal "physical examination" level is actually not too high, mainly focusing on the mental and breath levels. As for the strength of flesh and blood, he has a more professional flesh and blood doctor under his command.
So, Onizuka followed Kamiya's instructions and struggled for a while.
In the end, the latter chose a little more time, and after several twists and turns, he summoned the foot-seller to the real world...
