"In the end, it was discovered that the person with the problem was a girl named Ryoko, right?"

"Yes." Captain Long on the other end of the phone nodded, "The girl lives not far from the crime scene, so she was investigated immediately. She was a child in a wheelchair with a hidden leg problem. I heard

He said he has been ill for five years. Five years ago, he witnessed his mother being killed in a car accident. After that, he suddenly became unable to walk. The doctor said that at that time

Her injury was not serious, and nothing could be found wrong in the past five years, but she just couldn't walk. She would usually sit in a wheelchair and sketch on a nearby hillside during the day. Since her father worked mostly night shifts, she was often home alone at night. However,

Early yesterday morning, team member Nan who was on guard saw the child at the scene of multiple car accidents."

"At two o'clock in the morning, the child appeared in that wasteland where accidents often occur. Instead of sitting in a wheelchair, he walked on his legs and wore a scary mask."

It was like a scene from a horror movie. She was dressed in white and wearing a ghost mask. At first, Nan Xizi thought it was a ghost. After firing a warning shot, the "ghost" immediately ran away, and Nan Xizi followed her all the way.

She actually found out that she had escaped back to Liangzi's home.

Nan Xizi slowly entered the house after chasing the ghost, and what she saw was Ryoko sitting on a wheelchair in the courtyard in the middle of the night, playing with a pet box - there was a big firefly in it.

Early morning, wheelchair, girl sitting alone outside

No matter how you look at it, it's a bit weird. Not to mention that the white kimono Ryoko is wearing at this time has some traces of stains from running on the grass at the hem.

"Member Nan had a fight with the "ghost" before, but she escaped easily. But when he went to find the child later, she said that she had been in the yard and didn't see anything unusual."

If this kind of thing had happened in the past, Team TAC would have thought that someone was faking it. But after actually encountering the possessed helmet crab, the bull god, and the black cloth monk, they were no longer sure.

Not to mention that Ryoko was unable to walk, even if she was just pretending, how could a junior high school girl's physical fitness compare to that of Nan Xizi, a member of the tac team who had been training for a long time? According to Nan Xizi, the ghost she saw was not

Running normally, but rolling and jumping,

Moreover, the supernatural flash was more than ten meters away. If it was recorded by surveillance cameras, the viewers would definitely suspect that the video had skipped frames. But Nan Xizi saw it with the naked eye. The ghost flashed before her eyes, and then flashed again.

, every time it disappears, it will appear more than ten meters away.

This is really not something humans can do.

Maybe another ghost is causing trouble? The mother who died in a car accident at 2 a.m. five years ago hated those who drove late at night. With the help of Ryoko's body, she took revenge on passing drivers at 2 a.m. every day - that's what ghost stories say. No.

I blame Captain Dragon, who should have believed in science the most, for his superstition, because he has indeed encountered too many strange things recently, which cannot be explained by science.

In contrast, Captain Long found that he missed the Yabo people a little bit - at least the Yabo people's super beasts were still within the scope of his understanding.

Destroying super beasts is the expertise of Team TAC, but ghosts are not.

So yesterday, Captain Long took Beidou, Konno and the others to Izumo City, next to the Firefly Plains, and visited the most famous Izumo Grand Shrine - but the result was not ideal.

Izumo Taisha Shrine and Ise Jingu Shrine have been the most famous shrines since ancient times. Especially Izumo Taisha Shrine. According to legend, it is the Kanna month (October) every year, and eight million gods hold meetings here.

During the entire month of October, other places are "Kanna-no", and only Izumo is "Kami-there". The main hall of Izumo Taisha Shrine is the legendary palace where Amaterasu receives the gods.

It's September now. If the legendary god really exists, he might have rushed away in a hurry, right?

But unexpectedly, Izumo Taisha Shrine does not have a real demon-killing business. Yes, in the face of the tac team, the priest of Izumo Taisha Shrine admitted this without hesitation.

If a dignitary goes to pray to God, Izumo Grand Shrine will probably arrange a performance by several shrine maidens. As for the specifications of the performance, it depends on the "official" and "noble" level of the dignitary. Of course, if it is not a political circle*

**, then what is more important is the amount of incense money you are willing to offer.

Everything has a price comparison standard. From a single person's blessing, to the demon-killing dance of two witches, the regular sacrifice of five people, and even the most solemn one, twelve witches appeared together, plus the number of demon-drawing priests, and a

The band musician's soul-soothing ceremony. This is similar to land and water.

This is no problem. After all, most of the so-called evil spirits of these nobles are psychological effects. They make shrine maidens and priests dance, which is enough to give them some comfort. The sign of Izumo Taisha Shrine itself is enough for the pilgrims to show off after receiving the ceremony.

But the tac team is different. It is the tac team's turn to come forward for help. There must be something weird in it. Who dares to take this matter? What if by chance, we really encounter an evil spirit? Wouldn't it ruin the Izumo Taisha Shrine for more than 800 years?

Glory?

The Izumo Taisha Shrine, built in the late Tang Dynasty of Chinese history, can barely be regarded as a protected building with a long history even in the ancient country across the strait. In the island country, it is the ancestor of thousands of shrines, and it is ancient enough.

Let it itself become the oldest shrine of myths and legends.

"So, a small shrine in Itomori Town can eliminate demons, but Izumo Grand Shrine can't?"

"It seems like this." Captain Long said, feeling a little unbelievable.

But Ling doesn’t actually find it strange, just like the monks who truly practice asceticism and abide by Buddhist teachings may not necessarily be in Shaolin Temple.

Izumo Taisha Shrine is probably similar to Shaolin Temple. It has long been a tourist attraction and even similar to a listed company. Its thousand-year history has become a "market value" waiting to be sold.

"I heard that you are a witch who can really slay demons, so I have a gracious request. I wonder if you can take the time to come to the Firefly Plains. To be honest, there is a tac military factory near the Firefly Plains. Recently, a batch of

Important weapons need to be transported."

In fact, this is the main reason for the tac team's anxiety. The v7 missile completed a few days ago is currently the most cutting-edge weapon developed by the tac team against super beasts. Judging from the data collected in the early stage, when facing super beasts, as long as it is not Ba

In special cases like Raba, ordinary super beasts can kill with one blow with their v7 armor-piercing ability and destructiveness.

It's a pity that v7 is not yet mass-produced, mainly due to raw materials. It is one of the "black technologies" left behind by the past alien invasions, and humans cannot yet refine and copy them. The arsenal has exhausted all the inventory, and only 3 have been produced -

—Three missiles that can really threaten the Super Beast, rather than just adding to the excitement of the Super Beast. This is a backup trump card.

These three V7s need to be transported to the base headquarters at the foot of Mount Fuji of the TAC team to complete the installation work on the ship. In the design, it is installed on the weapon carrying platform of the Sky Fortress Eagle.

However, frequent mysterious accidents on the Firefly Plain, which is the only way to go, have cast a shadow over this transportation mission. If the hidden dangers cannot be clearly eliminated, Captain Long will not even dare to issue transportation instructions. He also has doubts whether the so-called accidents are targeted at him.

Otherwise, Ryoko’s mother had passed away for five years, so how could these accidents happen so coincidentally recently?

The conversation between the two was a secret of the TAC team. Let alone an underage girl, even an ordinary TAC insider should not reveal it. But Captain Long didn't mind and didn't seem to notice that he was talking to a nine-year-old.

The little girl talks about how strange these are.

Similarly, Ling didn't realize this either.

"I understand." Ling also glanced at the clock on the wall of the reception room. The hour hand pointed to eight o'clock in the evening. "I will come over tonight. I made a note of the Firefly Plain in Shimane Prefecture."

After hanging up the phone, Ling did not disturb anyone else. She said hello to Maria and then returned to the bedroom to ensure that no one else would disturb her.

Opening the wardrobe in the bedroom, there are all kinds of children's clothes - nearly half of them are the results of Tomoyo. Sailor clothes and princess dresses are the most basic ones. There are also cute clown clothes, thief girl clothes, cartoon animal clothes, and armpit-baring miko clothes.

There are many kinds of them. The only thing they have in common is that they are all cute. Those who can be sent by Tomoyo are all successful works of her confidence.

And there is a miko uniform in the corner of the closet. This is a real miko uniform, not Tomoyo's alternative style. It is the one she wore a few days ago, and Yotsuba gave it to her. It was the outfit she wore when she was in the fourth grade of elementary school.

, Yotsuba, who is already a high school student, can no longer wear it.

Ling also took off her coat and skirt and put on this miko costume. It was obviously just a simple kimono, white clothes and scarlet hakama, but after putting it on, it added an indescribable aura.

This is actually the costume of a trainee miko. If you are a shrine maiden, you will also have Chihaya with patterns printed on the outside. Different patterns represent different levels. Because Yotsuba herself has not become a shrine maiden, of course she will not have her own Chihaya.

Even Mitsuha was an apprentice shrine maiden before going to Tokyo to get married.

No wonder Granny Miyamizu lamented that the shrine has no successor.

On the other side, in the Firefly Plain, Captain Long hung up the mobile phone of Team TAC.

He asked Beidou for Lingya's contact information. Although he could also contact Beidou, he still felt that it would be better to speak in person.

Shimane Prefecture is on the northwest side of Honshu Island, close to Hiroshima, and farther from Tokyo than Okayama. Captain Long originally planned to send a plane to Tokyo to pick up Reiya, but she hung up the phone a little quickly.

But ten minutes later, Captain Dragon saw a girl in a witch costume.

Captain Long's long-term view of the world is hard to ignore and wonder how she managed to cross a distance of more than a thousand kilometers in ten minutes without taking a supersonic plane. That's much faster than sound, unless it's a delivery.

humanoid missile.

But he still decided to put this point behind him. Just like he never considered why Nan Yuko and Beidou disappeared every time Ace appeared, and both of them fell down when Ace was injured.

You don’t know what you shouldn’t know.

No one is a fool, but at least they can choose to actively ignore it, or even cooperate to conceal it. Some things cannot be known. Both Captain Kiriyama and Captain Ibuki have told their successors that once they know something they shouldn't know, it is the moment of farewell.

.They had to send away Morohoshidan and Go Hideki, both of whom were excellent players.

As for Captain Muramatsu of the Kurt Team, Team Hayata seems to have lost his memory, which has become a permanent secret. Of course, it was Muramatsu who first discovered this taboo.
