Chapter 278 48: The Hermit (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
“Is this a revelation from the Supreme Being? Holy Lady, do you know where the Supreme Being is now?”
Mental hospital.
In the interview room transformed from the doctor's lounge, after Naimai learned that Inagaki Miki had received the supreme personal revelation, she felt a little jealous and sour inside, lowering her head and remaining silent.
As for Hasamu, he wanted to know more. He hadn’t seen the teacher for so long, so it was time to pay him a visit.
Inagaki Miki shook her head: "The Supreme is everywhere, He is always watching us."
Hasamu choked on these words.
"Miss Nayima."
"Huh? What are your orders?" Nayima came back to her senses, raised her head, and showed a stiff smile.
"I need your prophecy ability." Inagaki Miki's face was serious as never before, "I feel that I have reached the limit, and there will not be much gain in a short period of time if I improve it. I want you to see Let’s look at the future and see if we are successful.”
Naimai is not a person who neglects public affairs for personal reasons. After hearing such a solemn request, she will naturally not refuse.
So she put her hand on Inagaki Miki's hand, and the lines on her palm appeared, and the pupils of her eyes disappeared, turning into white.
Fragmented scenes of the future began to emerge.
Tokyo has become a battlefield and sea of fire.
With Chiyoda District as the core, blood spreads to the entire Japan.
Artillery fire roared and ruins lay everywhere.
She saw many figures of extraordinary battles and witnessed many deaths.
After the blood stagnated for a long time, when hope seemed to be about to appear, more monsters appeared.
The human defense line was completely torn apart, and then.
Naimai looked up in the ruins. There was only one moon left in the sky. To be precise, it should be a bloody eyeball. Death Stare at her.
In reality, Naimai's figure was shaken, and the whiteness in her eyes gradually turned into a hint of blackness.
She just felt that the eyeballs were getting bigger and bigger, as if they were going to swallow up everything in the world
"Gods cannot be looked directly at. People are wishful thinking. The past is dust. Settled. The future cannot be changed."
Naimai felt more and more suffocated and could no longer breathe.
Until——
"Is it worthy of being called the future if you steal your position, live in the dust, and have a selfless future?"
The big eyes emits hatred, fear, madness, and many other emotions, but in the end they are all helplessly affected by a ray of light. Swallowed instantly.
Naimai felt that her body suddenly felt light and her breathing became smooth, as if she had entered the void, but she was clearly not meditating.
The light covering the sky and the earth slowly dissipated. At her feet was no longer Tokyo, but a sea of clouds, surrounded by huge, holy and majestic buildings.
In front of her, there was a person whose face she could not see clearly, but she knew that this must be the Supreme, her teacher.
"Teacher" Naimai had tears in her eyes.
"Naimai, with your strength, is still unable to spy on the false gods who are hostile to you."
"I'm sorry, teacher, it's because I haven't made any progress." Naimai knelt down and begged for forgiveness.
"Suffering is not destruction. After the wind and snow, better fruits will be produced."
Naimai was confused and understood. This meant that the Supreme had the ability to easily deal with the false god. But for some reason, it is needed to train sentient beings?
"I understand, teacher, I will let the saint do it with confidence."
"Aokigahara has hidden some good little guys. If you are interested, you can ask them to come out and share the burden."
"Good teacher, what should I do to stay by your side? Forever and forever" Naimai asked in a trembling voice as she mustered up her courage.
"In this sky full of stars, there will eventually be a place for you, Naimai."
"Teacher, teacher? Teacher——"
The white expanse collapsed into a point, and the world returned to darkness.
"Naimai? Sister? Sister?!"
".Brother?"
Hearing Naimai's answer, Hasamu patted his chest and sighed. Take a breath.
“It scared me to death. Your eyes would turn white and black, just like the legendary black light angel. I thought you were possessed by a demon.”
"." Naimai didn't answer. In fact, in the situation just now, if the teacher hadn't taken action, she would have become possessed. For a moment, her mind was filled with murderous desire.
“No way, what on earth did you see?” Seeing that Nayimai didn’t speak, Hasamu looked frightened, and immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
Inagaki Miki, who was opposite, also cast a solemn look.
Naimai shook her head: "The old Supreme saved me. My prophecy ability was distorted. What I saw was a future without Supreme and no hope. Saint, please feel free to do it. As long as we try our best, we will be the final winner."
Hearing this, Inagaki Miki felt relieved.
"However, there are revelations from the Supreme, and there are also extraordinary people hiding in Aokigahara. They may be able to help us." Naimai added.
After hearing this, Inagaki pondered for a moment: "I don't know much about the outside world. Maybe the Special Affairs Bureau will have clues, so I will ask them to help."
"This matter was inspired by the Supreme Being. Me, so I should participate too,” Naimai added.
Hasamu is a little strange. Nayimai is not usually so keen on participating in these foreign affairs, but it has something to do with the teacher, so it is understandable that she is more concerned about it.
The next day, Special Affairs Bureau.
"Seeking extraordinary help from Aokigahara Hidden World? Aokigahara. That suicide holy place?" Kuroki Shinsen saw the request sent by Inagaki Miki and said his only impression while reading it.
"Yes, apart from suicides, many people get lost there every year. I also saw some interesting things in the files." Yushi Noguchi was the first person to receive this request, and also The information was summarized in advance.
“Look at the proportion of lost people returning.”
“It started to increase three years ago, three years ago.”
“Remember the time when the Holy Infant gave elixirs , in addition to Seigo Ito, there were two guys with long ears and tails who caused a scene. They were originally thought to be disguises or some kind of ability, but William came back yesterday and said that he wanted to find the existence of the fox-man." Noguchi remind.
"So what you're saying is that the Hidden One that Inagaki is referring to is the subordinate of the two fakers? They have fought against each other before, and the faker, strictly speaking, isn't he also an enemy of the anti-demon alliance?" Kuroki Frowning.
“This is a disaster related to the survival of the entire Japan. As long as we can help, there is no need to care about what we have done before. It’s just that they have offended the Holy Infant Society, which is the most troublesome.”
"So you're waiting for me here." Kuroki looked helpless, "You just wanted to ask me to have a look, right? Noguchi Yushi, you thick eyebrows and big eyes, when did you learn this trick? "
Noguchi's expression did not change: "Director, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, but I said you can take half a day off for William's sake. When I asked you to have dinner-- ”
"I'm really not free that day."
"Are you free tonight?"
".I'll try my best."
In the evening, Dang put on a new suit of clothes and put on makeup. Kuroki Shinzumi, who put on light makeup, came to the reserved private room, took a deep breath and opened the door. When she saw the serious Noguchi Yushi and the playful William, she really wanted to hit them hard with the leather bag in her hand. on the face of the goods.
"I feel like, Noguchi, you are hiding something from me." William's smile froze, and he could clearly feel that something was wrong in the atmosphere. "Not really." Noguchi poured a glass of sake for Kuroki who sat down with a gloomy expression.
"I have never seen Kuroki put on makeup. You are amazing. Iron Lady can do it. Be careful not to get pinched to death at night." William said with a smile, using a very low The voice, trying not to touch the lips, was whispered into Noguchi's ear.
"Shut up."
"Haha, come on! To celebrate the reunion of our 'three heroes of the old special affairs', let's toast!" William raised his glass.
“The Iron Lady is still as stylish as before, and the hero who solves the case is still shouldering heavy responsibilities. It’s a pity that it’s just me. What’s my nickname? Forget it, I’m the only one who’s ups and downs. Cheers, you guys. Whatever.”
William grabbed most of the drinks and drank himself.
Kuroki's expression softened a little, but this guy was still so good at reading the air.
Soon, William, who drank the wine as water, swayed for a few times and finally fell on the table. At this time, the food was not even served.
It doesn’t matter whether he is really drunk or fake, he is lying down now and cannot be woken up.
Noguchi shook his head, having nothing to say.
"Aokigahara side" Noguchi glanced at William vaguely.
"Tonight, I am Kuroki Shinizumi, not Director Kuroki. I won't talk about official business." Kuroki interrupted.
Noguchi nodded and said no more business.
But when it comes to talking about personal matters, he basically doesn’t have any topics. It’s all about what Kuroki says and what he picks up. From talking about Mercury’s sudden changes to restarting the moon landing, they are all trending topics. There is nothing romantic at all. .
When the time was almost over, when Noguchi was about to say that he would send William back, William miraculously woke up, patted Noguchi on the shoulder, burped from wine, and called a car to go back to the hotel. .
"How about it, including me in your plan, wouldn't it be a great feeling of accomplishment?" Kuroki looked at Noguchi and said unhappily.
"No. It's just a test by the way. William, you're drunk, I'll take you home."
"Oh, this is really troublesome for Director Noguchi. You didn't intend to Send me back and then go back to the Special Affairs Bureau to work overtime?”
“.”
“You can try”
Beneath Mount Fuji, southwest.
The large half-moon-shaped forest sea looks like a plain when viewed from the sky, with almost no significant features in the middle. If you go deep into it without preparation, you will easily lose your way and be completely swallowed up by this green hell.
However, for the animals living here, they can be free from human interference, which can be regarded as a paradise.
In the depths where even suicides rarely enter, the trees are lush and green, and the birds and insects chirp endlessly.
In the distance, rustling sounds came, becoming increasingly clear.
The birds on the treetops were frightened and flew away in all directions.
If you look closely, you can see that it is an injured sika deer. It is running forward in a panic and over dead branches and leaves. It seems that there is some big terror chasing behind it. Blood stains are dripping down the body, leaving a trail. Bloody road.
“Yo!”
The sika deer screamed, and was swatted several meters away by a ghostly orange figure behind it. Less scars.
“Yo…”
The sika deer purred lowly, continued to struggle to get up, and limped forward at a trot.
If someone were watching, they would definitely be surprised. The orange figure just now looked like it could not hold up to the size of a puppy, so how could it send a sika deer, which was half a man tall and weighed as much as an adult, away with one slap?
After taking down the sika deer, the figure hid in the bushes again, revealing only a pair of secretly watching eyes.
After struggling for several hundred meters, the sika deer finally lost strength and slowly sat down on the ground, meowing softly.
The figure no longer concealed itself, and slowly walked out of the bushes with an overlord-like pace.
An orange cat, or rather, an orange cat that looks like a miniature tiger.
As the orange cat approaches, the sika deer’s survival instinct is activated again. Unfortunately, the previous pursuit had already consumed too much of its energy, and it could not get up again.
"Gululu." The orange cat had already walked to the sika deer and was about to bite it.
"You rude little guy, how many times has this broken into my house?"
The orange cat's ears stood up, as if he thought of something bad, and he cautiously Jump a few steps back and issue a threat.
"Meow!"
"Get out."
A small jade pendant suddenly flew towards me. The orange cat remembered this very well and yelled, as if leaving some cruel words. Turn around and run.
Crack.
The jade pendant fell next to the sika deer, but nothing happened.
"This ferocious cat is getting more and more out of bounds. It seems that we need to find time to talk to its parents." The jade-faced fox walked out of the forest, the fox mask hanging on its chest, and its charming and delicate face looked unhappy.
"Yo yo..." The sika deer was so angry that it sobbed in a low voice.
The jade-faced fox picked up the jade pendant, looked at the miserable condition of the sika deer, shook his head, pinched the jade pendant with his bare hands, and a healing light spread out.
The scars of the sika deer healed quickly, and soon it was able to stand up again.
"From now on, stay away from the cat village, otherwise I won't be able to save you next time."
"Yo yo."
The sika deer called happily a few times, rubbed the hand of the jade-faced fox, and disappeared into the forest with a bound.
Watching the sika deer leave, the jade-faced fox, who was about to go back, twitched his ears, looked up at the sky strangely, then put on a mask, turned into a cat, and climbed to the canopy of the tree with a few jumps.
Thud, tug, tug...
A helicopter flew over the sky, wondering if it was looking for another unlucky missing person.
The jade-faced fox looked at the direction in which the helicopter disappeared and thought for a moment.
But speaking of which, have helicopters appeared more frequently recently? Could it be that those people discovered something?
Actually, it’s not too frequent. It’s just that the jade-faced fox is more sensitive to numbers. Helicopters that usually only make one or two trips a month seem to have appeared three times in two days, so naturally they are a little suspicious.
Thinking like this, he jumped back to the ground a few times and ran towards home.
Soon, she arrived at the dense canopy of the tree, where she and the Ghost-Faced Fox made their home.
They are not completely isolated from the world. Occasionally they will go out to buy some supplies and come back to enjoy the convenience of human society.
"Is this the smell of a stranger?"
As he approached the house, the jade-faced fox stopped warily.
She smelled the scent of outsiders.
