Tokyo, Nerima Ward.
Tzu Chi Hospital Haunted House.
As early as five days ago, this haunted house stopped operating.
In addition, large-scale road blockades were implemented in the area surrounding the haunted house on the grounds of "emergency control".
Currently, only members of the Metropolitan Police Department can enter the vicinity of the haunted house.
Ordinary people can no longer get close to this place.
In addition, the haunted house is located in a remote area of Nerima Ward. Although the outside world is full of curiosity about what is happening here or what will happen soon, the temporary area blockade has not excessively affected social order.
How should people in Tokyo live?
It's just that those who want to go to a haunted house for fun in the near future will have less fun in their lives.
The time now is three o'clock in the afternoon.
The autumn afternoon sun hangs diagonally in the sky.
As you can see, the area around the haunted house has completely changed.
Centered around the haunted house, many uniformed police officers, as well as some Shinto priests and monks, were busy non-stop.
It seems that something is being arranged in an orderly manner.
They left many traces of cinnabar paintings on both sides of the main road, twisting them into the shape of talismans.
Along the way, you can see a huge floor-standing crossbow cart made of peach wood. There are stacks of arrows made of reeds placed beside the crossbow cart.
There are also many brightly colored beans, like golden beans that have been soaked in some kind of liquid for a long time, mixed with coarse salt, and scattered on the roadside in large quantities, giving off a shimmering light under the autumn sunshine.
"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law! Nuo talismans, lucky beans, and peach crossbows and reed arrows have all been arranged on the east road!"
The little witch in casual clothes trotted to Granny Gu and reported the current arrangement.
"I know, I will go check it out." The old priest from Juqiong Shrine nodded, "What about the situation of the Nuo formation? How is the arrangement going?"
"Not yet. The progress of the formation is still very slow." Onizuka the little miko shook her head.
"Fang Xiang's Nuo-style layout is inherently complicated, so it's less likely to go wrong if it's done more carefully." Grandma Gu held a blind stick in her hand. After saying this, she turned back and glanced in the direction of the haunted house, as if she had a pair of
What can blind eyes really see? "There is still plenty of time."
Fang Xiang pursues the Nuo style cloth, which is the preparation of the official spirit remover to deal with the breeder.
Of course, they don't know the breeder's code name yet.
The official people call this enemy who is still hiding in the dark "Yuzi".
This title is quite appropriate.
More than a week ago, "ghost-seeking" disasters that disturbed people's vision broke out in various parts of Japan.
It also includes the two-person girl in Kido Keiko.
But fortunately, Kamiyagawa and Onitsuka Kiriho found clues to the Huangquan Naraku Curse and the Death Talisman in time.
The originally chaotic disaster incident now has a clear direction of investigation.
Soon, the official ghost exterminators targeted the Haunted House of Ciji Hospital.
In the three and a half floors here, there are abnormally a large number of death-breeding talismans. It is obvious that an extremely special and powerful "seed ghost" is being conceived here.
The development of things was just as expected.
In the past few days, the evil atmosphere near the haunted house has become stronger and stronger. For some powerful exorcists, it has become almost visible to the naked eye.
This is still the case even if the three and a half layers of death-nurturing talismans have been safely removed.
Moreover, the evil atmosphere is also mixed with the smell of plague.
The deceased Yu who was hiding in the dark and has not yet appeared must have made careful back-up preparations for this place.
According to official information, during the Meiji period, the Jiji Haunted House area was once a secret research institute for the Japanese Cholera.
In this institute, countless patients died due to the disaster.
Officials now have reason to believe that Yusei used this special location to raise an extremely powerful monster in the corresponding world in this area.
Based on reasonable speculation and investigation, they believe that the identity of this strange creature is likely to be the plague god who spreads the plague.
According to the official spirit-killing master who frequently visits evil spirits here and measures and evaluates the evil spirits, the level of this plague god is likely to be B level.
It is a troublesome existence that requires the mobilization of a large number of spiritual exterminators to be able to eliminate it.
And this big trouble is now starting to get ready, and will soon break free and arrive in this world.
In response to this plague god, which is temporarily regarded as the biggest threat, the official spirit exterminator has made full preparations.
The Fang Xiang chasing Nuo style currently being arranged is their trump card.
Fang Xiangshi, originally an official name in ancient China, was a wizard who could exorcise ghosts and eliminate epidemics.
The image is a masked Nuo god.
However, because the image of Fang Xiang was too terrifying, after it was introduced to Japan, it was once mistaken among the people as the incarnation of the plague ghost.
However, this kind of misunderstanding among the people does not exist among the Onmyoji who worship Onmyoji and the spiritual exorcists of later generations.
Apart from the spiritual world, Fang Xiangshi is still relatively admired and respected.
Several spells and rituals have also evolved in which praying to Fang Xiangshi in exchange for the power to exorcise evil spirits and eliminate epidemics.
The Nuo-chasing ritual currently being arranged near the haunted house is one of them.
Fang Xiang is originally the representative of the god who can exorcise ghosts and eliminate plagues. The source of power comes from his rituals, so it is perfect to use it to target the ghost god who is about to be born.
As long as the Chai Nuo style is formed, it will be a surefire success.
…
Around the haunted house, Fudou, peach crossbow and reed arrows were arranged in conjunction with the Nuo chasing array, extending all the way to the northwest.
One kilometer to the northwest, close to the Sekigami Oasis in Nerima Ward.
This oasis wetland is a secluded place formed around a huge lake.
Regardless of the terrain, orientation, or Feng Shui form, it is extremely suitable for setting up a Nuo-style formation.
The current plan of the official spiritual exterminator is that after the plague god officially arrives, through the advance layout of the entire area and a large amount of manpower investment, he will be driven to the area of influence of the Danuo Formation and eliminated.
Because there is a lot of preparation time, this method is still very feasible as long as it is arranged properly.
Granny Gu took the little shrine maiden of Onizuka and a blind stick in her hand, and walked along the layout in the direction of the oasis.
"Xiaoying, if the plague god we are facing this time has B-level strength as estimated beforehand, many people may die in this battle."
After walking for a while, the old priest suddenly said this.
"I'm not afraid, mother-in-law." The little witch shook her head.
"No...I mean, don't be aggressive, don't be brave...You are the child with the most potential in Shintoism. When I am gone, my position will definitely be yours. I can feel that you will do it."
is better than me."
I don’t know why, but Grandma Gu has been feeling a little uneasy lately.
This feeling becomes a little more obvious when I'm with Onizuka the little miko.
It seems to indicate that something bad will happen.
"Don't worry, mother-in-law. I've listened to you carefully...probably. Anyway, I won't do things that I shouldn't do. I won't hold you back, and we will definitely win."
Onizuka expressed his determination in a serious tone.
But I don't know if it was the influence of Granny Gu's slightly worried words, but the little witch also became slightly depressed after she finished speaking.
It's dangerous...
But how can you not encounter danger when you are a spiritual exterminator?
The little witch was not afraid of these things before, but today, she unconsciously thought about some miscellaneous things.
At the end of her mind, she didn't know why, but she thought of Kamiya River.
But when she thought of the Valley of Gods, the little miko who had always been an exorcist with an open-minded mind felt a little more upset for no reason.
"Kamigu... Speaking of which, that guy Kamiya still owes me a promise. We might as well ask him to honor it the next time we meet."
Thinking of this, the little witch felt a little better.
She quickened her pace a little and walked in front of Granny Gu.
Ahead is the Seokjinjing Oasis, where you can see a huge lake. The lake sparkles with golden light under the autumn afternoon sun.
"It's so beautiful - Speaking of which, that guy from Kamiya always seems to lack outdoor activities. If possible, let him accompany me to play out. I know many beautiful places like this."
