In front of the Imperial Palace in the Land of Cherry Blossoms, the high platform where the bronze statue of Kusunoki Masashira stood was now empty.
However, the area around the high platform was quite lively at this time. There were at least seventy or eighty police officers scattered around, working with the best expert team invited to investigate the strange reason behind the bronze statue of Nanmu Zhengcheng.
As a professional detective, Detective Jiang's abilities have long been known to the Yingdu Police Department.
Therefore, during this operation, after the arriving director learned that Detective Jiang was nearby, he immediately sent someone to invite him to assist them.
After Detective Jiang came over, he glanced around and did not study the local soil, air or even vegetation conditions like the expert team did.
He touched his chin, intuitively feeling that something was wrong.
I asked to watch the video captured by the surveillance camera at that time, and marveled at how the bronze statue of Kusunoki Masashige came to life several times.
Detective Jiang suddenly said: "It's so strange, such a loud noise... there's no reason not to alarm the rats in the sewer, right?"
"ha?"
The people surrounding Detective Jiang were slightly startled and wondered: "Perhaps the rats ran away early? These things are more sensitive than us humans!"
When he said this, Detective Jiang smiled, pointed at his nose and said, "I smell the stench of corruption."
"Is there a sewer manhole cover near here? If you open it, you might find something?"
Several old policemen nodded slightly. According to the procedures, they would have gone to check the sewers nearby.
Therefore, Detective Jiang's proposal was quickly accepted, and then a group of people walked into the sewer, and immediately smelled a stench!
"It stinks... No, no, this is not normal!"
An old policeman raised the advanced recorder issued by the police and turned on the strong light.
He, Detective Jiang and others were stunned immediately.
Oh my god...this...isn't there a cult worship ceremony happening here?
How could there be such a scene in this world!
Under the light, everyone saw that the sewer was filled with countless rat corpses, large and small.
These mice were stiff, and each chest had a small opening.
An old policeman checked and said with an ugly face:
"The rat's heart is missing."
"The mice here are the same, they all have no hearts!"
"vomit!"
A young policeman couldn't bear the scene and smell and vomited.
Detective Jiang shook his head, took out a pack of tissues and gave it to the young policeman. His nose moved slightly and he slowly raised his head.
Then, Detective Jiang picked up the flashlight and shined it on the ceiling of the sewer.
Suddenly, everyone who followed the light and saw the ceiling felt a chill that penetrated their bones!
A huge five-pointed star was painted on the ceiling of this sewer with purple and black paint!
This five-pointed star under the light reminds people of evil sacrifices and the rumored legend of evil gods.
Those paints had many tiny particles. Detective Jiang observed them and whispered, "Maybe I know where the missing hearts of the mice went."
"The missing heart? Could it be that!"
The old policemen raised their heads and looked at the five-pointed star array on the ceiling again. Looking at the paint, they all understood. While feeling great fear, they also realized that the bronze statue of Nanmu Zhengcheng had come to life... It was probably related to
This extremely evil sacrifice is related!
"This situation must be reported immediately!" The old policeman with high political awareness slapped his thigh and made the decision to leave this hellish place.
Detective Jiang frowned slightly, looking around and feeling that there were still many things he didn't understand.
For example, how did the sacrificial person gather so many rats and kill them, and how did he grind the hearts of the rats into powder and then paint them on the ceiling.
In addition... is that weird five-pointed star array really needed, or was it deliberately done by the priest just to confuse the world?
While Detective Jiang was deep in thought, a pot was broken in the conference room.
See the video and picture information provided by the old police officer.
Everyone no longer has any illusions about the loyalty of the bronze statue of Masashi Kusunoki.
They felt that the extraordinary person who made such an evil sacrifice must be evil in nature. He made such a big noise this time, and maybe he had a big intention. Their country of Sakura might not be able to do it this time with just one Siren's Tear.
Get through it!
The Prime Minister's spokesperson summoned all department heads to gather in the round table conference room, coughed and said: "The Prime Minister and cabinet ministers have learned about the latest situation."
"The cabinet has approved the order, and we will transfer the Fourth Division to Yingdu."
The Fourth Division is one of the few modern armed divisions in the Sakura Country that is rigorously trained, adequately funded, and well-equipped. It has always been considered by the outside world to be the ace ground force of the Sakura Country.
Usually this division is placed in a small town outside Yingdu for training and is not allowed to enter a big city like Yingdu.
Now facing the threat of an unknown evil supernatural being who activated the bronze statue of Masashi Kusunoki.
A regular army like the Fourth Division was finally able to set foot on the ground of Sakura City for the first time!
After the Citigroup learned of the Sakura Country's decision, it also expressed its support and took off multi-functional fighter jets from the aircraft carrier to prepare to support its allies in their war against the extraordinary.
"Um?"
“Have the underground waterways finally been discovered?”
Sitting in the presidential suite, taking a sip of the Remy Martin wine in the suite, and finding that it didn't taste good at all, Xiao Yu's Qingming Onmyoji stuck out his tongue, capped the bottle of foreign wine, and stored it in his portable space.
middle.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Oh haha~" Xiao Yu squinted his eyes and found that it was the head of the Anbei family who came to visit him in person with several big-bellied senior officials.
Qingming, who was transformed by Xiao Yu, smiled, waved and used the wizard's hand to open the door, and shouted for them to come in.
A group of people walked over cautiously, and just as they bowed and sat down, they saw the onmyoji Qingming put away his folding fan and knocked it lightly.
In an instant, all the beauties dancing around disappeared.
After feeling envious and jealous of the methods of the son of the fox fairy, the head of the Anbei family took out the photos taken in the underground waterway.
He began to ask Qingming, whom Xiao Yu had taught him, for advice.
"Oh my, this is a very powerful pentagram array!"
Looking at his masterpiece, Qingming Onmyoji transformed by Xiao Yu made an emotional expression and said:
"If I guessed correctly, the other party's personnel are looking for that gem, right?"
"Tears of the Siren?" The faces of the senior officials changed slightly: "They have indeed gone, but we are doing our best to stop him."
"Lord Seimei..." The head of the family stopped the senior official from lying, looked at Seimei Onmyoji and said, "Please tell us what the other party will do after they take the gems!"
"Please, please tell us, this is related to the safety of the entire Sakura Country."
"Well……"
Qingming, who was transformed by Xiao Yu, narrowed her eyes, but in fact, it was her mind that manipulated the bronze statue of Nanmu Zhengcheng to get the sky-blue diamond-shaped gem in the museum collection area - Tears of the Siren!
From his perception, Xiao Yu could feel that this gem contained extremely high-quality mana just like the Philosopher's Stone, and that it had accumulated enough power over time after being stored for thousands of years.
This made Xiao Yu's heart beat.
In addition, a large detection technique was released, which activated the abnormal movement of the eight-foot mirror, the inherited magic weapon of the Anbei family in another Tibetan area.
Xiao Yu was surprised to find that this thing was actually a magical object in another sense.
Xiao Yu couldn't help but pay attention to the other two things.
The Magatama of the Imperial Family of the Kingdom of Sakura and the Amancongyun Sword of the Sakura Capital Shrine are both well-known magical weapons that have been passed down for a long time!
If the eight-foot mirror is like this, these two pieces shouldn't be too bad, right?
Although Xiao Yu didn't even know the use of these famous three artifacts of the Sakura Kingdom.
But this does not hinder his desire to get it!
Even if it turns out to be of little use in the end, so what?
At worst, build a trophy exhibition room in Lilliput and use these things as collections!
Therefore, Qingming Onmyoji transformed by Xiao Yu stood up, looked down at the family head and others who were sitting cross-legged, and said seriously:
"This is an Onmyoji organization that has a close relationship with Nanmu Myojin and has a deep hatred for the Northern Dynasty royal family."
"After getting the gem that contains divine power..."
"I guess their next step is to go to Sakura City, where the royal family lives."
Chapter completed!
