Chapter 091. Qiaoqiao's coping strategies
The Shrine of Inoda has never been as busy as it is tonight.
The witches in red and white witch suits came and went in a hurry, while the priests looked serious. While the whole city was about to fall asleep, the people in the Retta Shrine were sleepless.
"A very powerful monster was found in the west, and it is inferred that it is very likely that it is a big monster python that has disappeared forty years."
"There are multiple high-concentration demonic power reactions, all of which are powerful monsters that the association has not registered."
"There is insufficient staff on the scene, please support!"
Various latest news echoes in the side halls of the shrine.
Miyaji Asakusaki Ren Saburo from Retta Shrine kept sitting in a straight position and closed his eyes to listen to the information.
The discussions of the people next to him seemed to have not reached his ears at all.
Qiao Qiao, who had changed her clothes, sat in the Tokyo team of spiritualists. Except for a few who had not returned, most of the remaining people had just been woken up and looked a little tired.
Yukitoi Masato yawned and sat very casually.
The witches like Ayano Fujiwara and Ariko Asano who often get up early to practice have already rested enough, and at this time they looked at Ren Saburo Asano with some anxiety.
Qiao Qiao listened to these rewards ahead, and the incident gradually became clear in his mind.
The big monster named Python was caught in disguise by a spirit-destroying master, and the battle started.
Faced with the renewal of the spirit-deprived masters, the python, who could not escape, could only call for companions.
So the two sides started a war.
At this point in time, it is difficult for people not to associate the appearance of the Tiancongyun Sword and the python.
In addition to the snake scales discovered by Qiao Qiao and others yesterday.
A conspiracy loomed.
This snake scale should not have been recently placed in the old sports warehouse. Judging from the analysis results, it has a history of at least thirty years.
In other words, pythons had targeted the Tiancongyun Sword thirty years ago?
But it was not surprising, Qiao Qiao thought.
The lifespan of monsters itself is much longer than that of humans. Thirty years are long for humans, and for monsters, especially big monsters like pythons, it is just a flash of fingers.
If Qiao Qiao could live such a long life, he wouldn't mind spending thirty years to stay at a certain goal.
Looking at the information I just got, this is the file retrieved from the database of the Soul-Eliminator Association.
The python is a snake demon, with a lifespan of more than 700 years, and the last time it appeared was forty years ago.
At that time, the python had just committed several incidents in Hokkaido, and in a blink of an eye, ran to Australia again.
I don't know what happened, but it molted there.
For the snake monster with a lifespan of 700 years, molting is more like a means of escaping after being severely damaged than growing.
The shedded skin was caught by the Heguo fishing boat "Ruiyangwan", which passed by by chance. Due to its unique shape, it was once considered the remains of the sea monster.
Of course, after the operation of several major shrines at that time, this incident became a mysterious story without any follow-up.
As for moving forward, although the main messenger behind several monster rebellion may be a python, due to the long time, it is no longer possible to verify the specific details.
It's such a mysterious monster.
Due to the description of snakes in traditional culture of Heguo, snake monsters themselves are very rare.
Registered persons can be marked as powerful snake monsters and can be counted with one hand.
Most of these snake monsters have a long lifespan, the longest even exceeding a thousand years, and are ancient monsters recorded since the Heian era.
While Qiao Qiao was reading the information, Ren Saburo Asano finally made a decision.
Some spiritual masters from Kyoto, Nara, Tokyo, and Inuda Shrine were dispatched to destroy the pythons.
Newcomers like Qiaoqiao, Asano Ariko, and some older spiritual extermination masters stayed in the Hirota Shrine.
Such considerations are reasonable.
Regardless of whether the python is related to the loss of the Tiancongyun Sword, it is a big monster that may harm society and must be removed.
The Retta Shrine is in the city, and it has multiple barriers to protect it. There are no treasures worth paying attention to by monsters. It can be regarded as the safest place.
After the decision was made, everyone took action quickly.
The people from the side hall left one after another, leaving Qiao Qiao and others.
"Can you go back to bed?"
Yukitoi Masato yawned again and went to bed without saying a word.
It can be seen that he is probably the kind of guy who can sleep until noon and get up on a day without any trouble.
"Maybe it was a lure to the mountain."
Qiao Qiao said, it is hard to imagine that if the python had been preparing for decades to steal the Tiancongyun Sword, it would have been accidentally discovered by the de-spirit master and exposed his whereabouts.
Now, the powerful spiritual master like Asakusaki Ren Saburo was attracted away, leaving behind the empty Hirota Shrine.
Isn't this a standard plot of luring the tiger away from the mountain?
"But there is no longer what it wants in the Retta Shrine."
Fujiwara Ayano held up her glasses.
The treasure Tiancongyun Sword of Retta Temple has been stolen, and the rest are some witch goddesses and the main hall of this temple.
There is no need for monsters to go a long way to kill a few people or destroy the temple.
What's more, in addition to the Retta Shrine, there are many temples and shrines nearby.
If the monsters attack, the blockade they will not be weaker than the ones sent out.
From the motivation point of view, there is no reason to be invaded here.
"I still think there is something wrong."
Qiao Qiao flipped through the information and saw the specific location of a strange incident in Nagoya after the loss of the Tiancong Cloud Sword.
These locations are marked on the map.
It looks quite random, with every part of the city, and no rules are found.
Qiao Qiao stood up.
“What to do?”
Yukitoi Masato was already half lying down, as if he was about to fall asleep.
"I'll take a look at it in the temple."
Qiaoqiao left immediately, and Asano Ariko looked at him and followed him.
"Teacher, are there any problems?"
Asano Ariko asked in confusion.
"Well, if the python stole the Tiancongyun Sword, why did it not leave Nagoya for so long, but was discovered by the spirit-destroying master and had to fight?"
Qiao Qiao came to a corner of the shrine and opened her backpack.
The triple 460 naval gun was exposed.
"?"
Why did you put the model in the box and bring it over?
Qiao Qiao took out the model from the bag and asked Asano Ariko to help him carry it.
He pulled out extremely thin steel wire and a lunch box.
“What is this to do?”
Asano Ariko looked at Qiao Qiao carefully hanging grenades in some hidden corners, using the "plasticine" in the lunch box to stick to some pillars, and then used steel wire to pass through the pull ring of the grenade, and soon arranged a trap.
"This is a defensive measure, and I think the odds of monsters attacking here tonight are more than 80 percent."
Qiao Qiao replied.
"These mechanisms can effectively delay the speed of monster invasion."
"But, the temple has barrier protection, so the monsters should not be able to come in, right?"
Asano Ariko looked at the explosives on Torii pillar with some concern.
This pillar has a history of a thousand years, right?
"But didn't the monster steal the Tiancongyun Sword?"
Qiao Qiao did not stop the work at hand.
"Why do you think that the barrier of the divine palace can defend against the invasion of monsters without anyone noticing it?"
It seems that what it says makes sense?
Asano Ariko was speechless for a moment.
It took half an hour to set up traps in places he thought the other party might invade.
Just as he was about to set up the next trap.
An explosion came from not far away.
From the back mountain of Inoda Shrine.
