Truth is everywhere within range

Qiao Qiao's mind recalled the state of this cage from a month ago.

The reason why he started a month ago was because Qiao Qiao felt that he could kill Fujinami Shinji under the protection of Ise Shrine. Maybe the other party had been prepared.

So I decided to watch more.

No money anyway.

A month ago, this prison was still empty. When Qiao Qiao dragged the progress bar, there was nothing noteworthy.

It seems that this prison is indeed fine.

The progress bar dropped to the time when Fujinami Shinji was imprisoned.

Wearing white clothes, he entered the prison and activated the technique. Fujinami Shinji was trapped here, unable to make sounds or use spiritual power.

There was nothing unusual about his behavior, just like the other people imprisoned here, dull and lifeless.

Until this afternoon.

Shinji Fujinami was sitting in prison, as usual.

Suddenly, he stood up.

The surrounding priests turned their attention. After all, any actions of the prisoners in the prison deserved attention.

After Shinji Fujinami stood up, he didn't say anything.

His eyes were empty and his face was expressionless.

Then, Fujinami Shinji’s belly swelled.

Just as Qiao Qiao saw through his channeling in the hotel, Shinji Fujinami also exploded.

Flesh and blood fell on the prison wall with a splat, and Fujinami Shinji was like a blooming flower, polluting the entire prison.

"The pattern of this magic circle."

Qiao Qiao took a look inside and found that the structure of the technique was more complex and complete than that of Aoki Gui.

"We have confirmed here that this is an unfinished summoning spell, connected to an unknown god."

The priest on the side said.

"An unknown god?"

Qiao Qiao repeated.

"So, is the old god trying something?"

"Let the bewitched person summon again and again, and get closer to the correct summoning spell again and again."

Kitashirakawa Rika also saw all this.

She had hardly seen this place with her own abilities. She had only read the layout plan and some information about the prisoners in the classics. At this moment, relying on Qiao Qiao, she finally understood what this place looked like.

"If Shinji Fujinami becomes a living corpse, it will be impossible to escape the eyes of the priests."

Kitashirakawa Rika said firmly.

"Um."

Qiao Qiao still believed in the spirit-killing level of Ise Shrine, and would not squat down and use the vampire's perception to confirm everything around him.

It has indeed lost all traces of its spirit, and its flesh and blood look like they have been dead for several days.

"Rotten authority?"

Qiao Qiao murmured to himself.

If the old gods had mastered the power of decay, it would indeed be possible to achieve this.

Just, why?

The old gods that Qiao Qiao knew in the past basically committed crimes in secret. By the time they were discovered, the overall situation was almost determined. The old gods were either ready to break free from the seal, or they had already escaped from the seal.

Now conducting experiments in such a ostentatious manner without attacking directly, is it really because he is an old god who was upgraded from a single-celled organism, so his thinking tends to be simple and direct?

Qiao Qiao thought it was impossible.

If he were really that stupid, He wouldn't have been sealed until now, but would have died in ancient times.

After checking the prison, Qiao Qiao didn't get any valuable clues.

This place is similar to the scene where Takashi Aoki died.

"By the way, if something like this happened here, would it have no impact on the imprisoned monsters?"

Qiao Qiao asked casually.

"The second and third floors have powerful enchantments against weirdness. They don't even know what happened on the previous floor, so don't worry."

The priest replied.

"Moreover, these dungeons are connected with each other through spells and form one body, which can create the effect of suppressing each other. There is no need to worry about changes of this degree."

"I understand. Kuroda-san, let's go back. The investigation here is almost complete. There is no point in staying any longer."

Qiao Qiao said to Kuroda Jun.

When the two walked out of the dungeon, Qiao Qiao looked back and asked.

"How's the security in the dungeon here?"

"The dungeon of Ise Shrine can be regarded as the safest place besides the Imperial Palace. For thousands of years, no monster has ever been able to escape from here."

Kuroda Jun said with some pride.

"Furthermore, the dungeon's spells are integrated with the shrine's shrine-protecting formation. By absorbing the power of the monsters here, we can not only weaken them, but also strengthen the shrine-protecting formation, which in turn will continue to suppress these monsters."

"awesome."

Qiao Qiao couldn't help but sigh.

"Well, Kuroda-san, please prepare tomorrow the information on the weirdos and exorcists imprisoned in the dungeon, as well as the registration information on the people who have been in and out of the dungeon in the past three months, um, the past six months."

"Half a year?"

Kuroda Jun felt that Qiao Qiao was going a bit too far.

The incident obviously happened in the past few days, why should we investigate what happened half a year ago?

But since his job is to assist Qiao Qiao, Kuroda Jun naturally has no complaints.

"Qiao Sang thinks that the dungeon may have been invaded by other beings?"

After watching Kuroda Jun leave, Qiao Qiao heard the voice of Kitashirakawa Rika in his ears.

"Rather, I think the dungeon of Ise Shrine may be invaded."

Qiao Qiao walked across the road where the snow had not yet dissipated and walked towards his residence.

"Are you going to be invaded?"

Kitashirakawa Rika didn't quite understand.

"I already have some guesses, but I still need to confirm a few things."

Qiao Qiao did not directly express his thoughts, but looked at the sky.

On a snowless night, the sky is clear, the stars shine in the winter sky, and the moonlight is bright and flawless. In a place like Ise, where there is no light pollution, you can see such a beautiful starry sky.

"The moon is so beautiful."

Kitashirakawa Rika sighed, and she stood up slowly while sitting in the Araji Palace and came to the window.

Ever since she became sensible, she could only stare at the moon outside the window.

But through Qiao Qiao's sight, she saw the broader night sky.

"What does Kitashirakawa Miko think of this shrine?"

Qiao Qiao suddenly asked.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Kitashirakawa Rika didn't quite understand the meaning of Qiao Qiao's words.

"You were born here, and your destiny was already determined before you knew the world. You will spend your whole life in this city and this shrine. Do you think there are no regrets in such a life?"

Hearing Qiao Qiao's words, Kitashirakawa Rika lowered her head and looked at the toes of her white feet.

"In such a life, there will indeed be regrets."

Kitashirakawa Rika nodded.

"But there is nothing I can do about it. If the whole world is in unrest because of my selfishness, then even if I can leave here, my conscience will feel uneasy. This is not a big deal, but because I see it in the mirror. Seeing the beauty of the human world, that’s why I want to protect them here.”

"Then, if you were given a chance to leave here without any burden, what choice would you make, Kitashirakawa Miko?"

Qiao Qiao has returned to the door of his house.

"If someone else takes on this responsibility for you, you can have your own life and happiness like an ordinary girl."

"I don't know that."

Kitashirakawa Rika saw Qiao Qiao push the door open.

Under the moonlight, there was another person in his room.

"Hey, long time no see."

She is a girl who has no characteristics at all and looks ordinary.

Old God.Wish.
