"Old God. I didn't expect Qiao Sang, you can even talk and laugh."

Kitashirakawa Rika said in disbelief.

"?"

Qiao Qiao sat in his room, a little confused.

The old god. There is no need to come to him at this time to find him. Ise-Shengmu is originally a guardian land. There must be other reasons for His coming.

"Attracted by the fragrance of wishes?"

Qiao Qiao noticed the special thing in His Word, the Old God. If the wishes are really the incarnation of human prayers, then they can naturally sense the wishes of others. That is to say, someone nearby has a desire that is strong enough or enough to attract His?

If you really want to talk about it, perhaps only Kitashirakawa Rika leaves the temple and see the outside world. Such a wish can make the old god. He will take risks without hesitation and visit Ise Temple.

"But there is at least one thing to be sure that the old gods who control the decay have fallen, and those corpses may have other reasons."

"Qiao Sang, do you have any ideas?"

Kitashirakawa Rika asked.

"There is a proverb in China."

Qiao Qiao replied.

"After eliminating all the impossible answers, the remaining one, no matter how bizarre and incredible, is the correct answer."

"This matter has nothing to do with the old god, so naturally there needs to be a corresponding existence to complete all this."

He closed his eyes and thought for a moment.

Already have the answer

Three days later.

Qiao Qiao's room was full of books.

These are the list of Ise Shrine dungeons brought to Kuroda Jun by Qiaoqiao, the entry and exit records of the past six months, and various miscellaneous information.

Although the information is neatly arranged, the entire room seems very crowded and difficult to get off the feet due to the large number.

At the door, Jun Kuroda came over with a stack of documents, looked at the room where he could not stay and sighed.

"Qiao Sang, you haven't gone out for three days. The other priests are waiting for you to investigate. Can you really find the old god sitting here and looking at these documents?"

Jun Kuroda questioned a little.

"Put it there, thank you."

Qiao Qiaotou said without raising her head.

"Now people in the temple are in panic. Everyone is worried that people who have been polluted by the old gods will get into the temple. They are also worried that such an incident will happen again. Qiao Sang, are you really investigating it seriously?"

Jun Kuroda's words were a little accusing.

Originally, the atmosphere in Ise Temple was just a little serious. Now, everyone is in danger and distrusts each other, afraid of the attack of the old gods, which really makes Kuroda Jun like it very much.

Hearing Kuroda Jun's words, Qiao Qiao stopped turning the pages of the book and raised his head.

"Kurodansang, there will be a rehearsal for the Prayer Festival tonight, right?"

"Yes, but now everyone's heart is not on this."

Jun Kuroda nodded.

"Kurodansan, you should be on the stage, too?"

Qiao Qiao asked again.

Jun Kuroda was stunned and hesitated for a moment.

"Yes, as the representative of this generation of witches, I will dance Kagura dance in Kagura Temple during the New Year Festival, and I will also participate in the rehearsal tonight."

At the prayer ceremony, the witches of the Ise Temple will dance in front of the Kagura Temple as a worship of the gods.

Amaterasu Omiji was in Tian Iwato before he saw the dance of Tiandian's daughter, allowing the sun to reappear on earth. Therefore, at the festivals related to the Ise Temple, Kagura dance is one of the most important rituals.

The witches wearing the crown of the day before yesterday, wearing Qianyao, and holding the Kagura bell danced in classical music, maybe Qiao Qiao couldn't help but take a look.

No wonder Amaterasu would leave the house.

"Be careful tonight, if possible, it's better not to go to Kagura Temple, I'll say so much."

Qiao Qiao reminded him.

"Um?"

Jun Kuroda wanted to ask, but Qiao Qiao had already lowered her head.

After trying to speak, Kuroda Jun finally closed the door and left.

In the room, Qiao Qiao put down the file.

"Is there something going on tonight?"

Kitashirakawa Rika has also been reading the file with Qiao Qiao for the past three days.

Moreover, the two can also look at each other and speed up reading.

It’s not tiring to work with men and women.

While resting, Qiao Qiao talked about some things about the outside world for Kitashirakawa Rika.

Such as the rotating Ferris wheel, summer fireworks, sunny beaches and sea.

But what Kitashirakawa Rika is most interested in is the school matters.

She had never been to school, and all her knowledge was taught by the priests.

Therefore, when Kitashirakawa Rika was particularly excited when she heard Qiao Qiao talk about the school.

Some people are caught late to school, scrambling bread with classmates in the cafeteria, club activities after school, and working.

Kitashirakawa Rika listened with relish.

Compared to Xiaoyezi, she has no social knowledge and yearns for such a life more.

"I checked the shift schedule for the dungeon and found that tonight was exactly the day for the shift schedule of the dungeon."

Qiao Qiao took a look at the information he had compiled on the laptop screen next to him.

"Dungeon?"

Kitashirakawa Rika couldn't understand what it had to do with the dungeon.

Apart from being the place where Nobuji Fujiha’s death, the dungeon should have nothing to do with this series of cases.

"Well, according to my speculation, there will be no more similar murders near Ise Shrine, and all preparations are over."

Qiao Qiao explained.

"All preparations?"

Kitashirakawa Rika thought of those summoning rituals.

But Qiao Qiao also said that this incident had nothing to do with the old god.

What preparation is this and what is it for?

I don't understand at all.

"Jo Sang, can you explain it clearly?"

"Well, this matter starts with the dungeon of Ise Shrine."

Qiao Qiao opened the structure diagram of the dungeon he summarized and the weirdness of his detention.

"On the third floor of the dungeon, there are about twelve powerful monsters, or the name of quasi-old god-level monsters will be more accurate, such as the descendants of Yamata Orochi such as the python, such as Tengu who once invaded Heian Kyo."

"These monsters are strictly suppressed on weekdays and are protected by the formation of the Ise God Palace and cannot be done."

"But if Ise God Palace is attacked or even damaged most of it, then these monsters are likely to escape."

Kitashirakawa Rika opened her eyes wide in disbelief when she heard Qiao Qiao's words.

"It's impossible to destroy Ise's Goddess. The dungeon has a powerful barrier and the guardian of Yata Mirror. The weirdness cannot break through that barrier."

"Of course it can't be weird."

Qiao Qiao paused.

"But humans can."

"Human"

Kitashirakawa Rika was a little dazed and recalled many things again.

"Joe Sang, what you mean"

She thought of the Chinese proverbs that Qiao Qiao said.

After eliminating all the impossible answers, the remaining one, no matter how bizarre and incredible, is the correct answer.
