I’m a Witch In Dongying

This statement is true.

Because "Hyakki Yexing" is indeed directly caused by that reason.

But in fact, the incident was only a fuse. Decades before the occurrence of "Hyakki Yexing", there were already some opening doors in this world. Some were artificial and some were in the world. Naturally formed in the long years, all kinds of monsters and evil spirits came to this world through the gaps of those'doors', making waves in the human world.

From the earliest mythological age, Susano slayed the Yachi Orochi; to the official formation of the Eastern civilization represented by the Yamatai Kingdom, humans and monsters coexisted for a long time for thousands of years.

With the passage of time, the existence of onmyojis, priests and the like gradually appeared in Dongying. With the help of the power obtained from the gods, coupled with the results of hard training, they can compete with the monsters...

Until the early Heian period, humans and monsters were still able to maintain a relatively stable situation and live together on this land.

But the ‘door’ over Kyoto completely breaks this balance.

That door was said to have been opened by the Dajiangshan ghost tribe and a group of evil repairs headed by Ashiya Michiman. Their first attempt was when Akui had not yet become the king of Ise Jingu. His Royal Highness Akui stopped with his life. Later, I tried a second time and finally successfully opened the ‘door’.

After that, the breath from the "Yellow Spring Gate" poured into this world in large quantities. And then spread to Kyoto, and even the entire Kansai area.

During that time, such ‘yin areas’ frequently appeared in the Kansai region, and a large number of monsters that had been wiped out or sealed by humans reappeared in front of humans, and the situation was even worse than it is now.

Some places far away from Kyoto, almost in the form of villages, were slaughtered by monsters in pieces.

The bad habits such as sacrifice are too numerous to list. Some will play a role, but in the final analysis it is only drinking poison to quench thirst. Whether it can work, it depends on luck...

You also know that there were few decent defenses in the villages of that period. An ordinary centipede was enough to wipe out hundreds of households, not to mention the great centipede with a length of more than one hundred meters, as well as ghosts like Dajiangshan. There are monsters moving in groups, and it's not surprising that such a situation would have been caused..."

In this period of history, the records left in the classics are just a few lines.

Even the Kyoto Yinyangliu, and the records made by the Tomimon family in the past, are gradually lost in the long changes of times.

But Jiufeng Ziyuan said it was very clear, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

In fact... this woman may have actually seen that scene with her own eyes.

It's just that Li Jiancheng, a policeman who doesn't know the truth, is nearby, so it's not easy to make things too clear. But Bai Shuiqiu, Keiko, and Asakura Rie all know the inside story, and they are tacitly aware of it.

"Then... later?"

"What happened later, you all already know."

Jiufeng Ziyuan shrugged, and continued to speak in an unhurried tone;

"At that time, a large number of humans were buried in the mouths of monsters. Just when the population of Toyo was drastically reduced due to this, a large number of magical geniuses, led by Tadayuki Ka Moto and Seimei Abe, emerged in two or three generations. And after he became an adult, he launched a crusade against monsters.

If this is not the case, I am afraid that the impact Dongying has received will never end so easily. "

——By the way, the Chinese Master Xuanzang was also born at about the same time. This is probably where human beings are the primates of all things.

After all, practitioners such as Abe Haruaki, Kamo Tadayuki, and Gen Yoshimitsu can be said to be an unborn genius if they are brought out by themselves. It was originally a small probability event to be born in the world, but it was in the Heian era. For decades, it seemed like a sow gave birth to a baby, one after another, and through successive efforts, the legend of "Hundred Ghosts Night Walk" was brought to an end.

This kind of thing is not like a mere coincidence.

Perhaps, in the dark, there is really some kind of supremely stalwart existence that protects humans in secret, so that humans can survive under such circumstances and gradually regain the dominance of the world from the hands of the monsters.

Of course……

Part of the credit is also due to a series of gods including Susanoo and Inari. After all, many gods were still active during the Heian era. It was only in the last few hundred years that they gradually fell asleep. The existence of these gods also provided a lot of shelter for the survival of mankind.

But now, after many years, history is repeating itself again.

The yin domain formed by the breath of the "inside world" appeared again, but this time, a large number of gods including Mikiko and his own shrine, Yushishen, had fallen into a deep sleep.

There has never been a great onmyoji like Abe Seimei in humans. The former shrine maiden, Baishui Sana, who may have the strength comparable to those of the first-class onmyojis in ancient times, has been killed on Lantern Mountain for many years.

Thinking of this, Bai Shuiqiu's mood became a little heavy.

From this moment on, the little joy of escaping from the "Yin Territory" disappeared. After all, this is not something to be proud of, it's just that the opponent is too weak, and choose one by one...

Jiufeng Ziyuan seemed to see her thoughts, smiled slightly, and then patted Bai Shuiqiu's shoulder slightly:

"But you don't have to be discouraged. What I have said is just to provide you with some references. In fact...

The current situation is far less severe than the Heian period.

Although most of the gods are no longer in this world, humans today are far from being as ignorant and fragile as they were back then. The development of modern weapons can offset the negative effects of spell decline to some extent, so even true "Hyakki Yayuki" appears again, and the result is still unknown...

In any case, I will deal with the next thing together with you.

The Asakura family and the countermeasure team will help figure out a solution, right, Rie-san? "

"This is natural."

Asakura Rie nodded slightly and responded with a smile.

"..."

When Shiraito was talking with Asakura Rie and the old monster, Keiko Kashiro and Kurimitari did not speak either.

The former is because there is less information and limited information. At this time, I can only listen to the narration of a few of them silently and analyze it in my heart.

And the latter...

The police officer's gaze turned a few times between Bai Shuiqiu and the others, and finally stopped on Jiufeng Ziyuan, frowning as if thinking of something.

Speaking of it, Li Jiancheng had seen Jiufeng Shion a long time ago, and knew that she was related to the supernatural plane.

——It was the case of the Painted Skin incident.

After appearing in front of the police and the countermeasure team several times, Jiufeng Shion basically appeared as a "green heron fire", either as a huge body, or as a human form that concealed his face, so until now Li Jiancheng also didn't know the fact that Jiufeng Ziyuan was Qingluhuo, but because of the professionalism of the police, he vaguely caught something.

But he did not ask.

"I already know about the situation..."

Bai Shuiqiu let out a sigh of relief, and looked at Rie Asakura again: "How does Sister Rie plan to deal with this incident?"

"..."

Asakura Rie pondered for a while, and then slowly said, "This incident did not happen in a crowded urban area. It is a fortunate thing. At least not many people were involved. The subsequent handling of the aftermath. , Let me deal with it. Sister Xiaoqiu, you have already worked hard today. It's better to go back and rest early."

"But those people..."

Bai Shuiqiu turned his head and glanced at the group of passers-by, then hesitated: "They have experienced these incidents with us, and they have also witnessed the appearance of Hundred Feet slaughtering humans. I am afraid it will leave a deep psychological shadow, so... …

I think it might be better for them to erase their memories of these few hours. "

This was Bai Shuiqiu's original plan.

However, since Asakura Rie and others have arrived, she is not good at making claims. If the countermeasure team has a better way to deal with it, there is no need to let the old monster take action.

"this……"

Rie Asakura groaned slightly, and responded: "The countermeasure team has a set of corresponding plans for this kind of supernatural incident involving ordinary people, and will also use some psychological treatments to relieve their anxiety, or use Hypnosis is used to dilute the remaining memories in their minds, and it feels like a dream afterwards.

But if it’s like what you said, sister Xiaoqiu, these people have seen the scene of Baizu eating or corroding their companions...

Then the shadows left in their hearts are probably far deeper than ordinary spiritual events. In this case, erasing the memory of one or several of them is also a solution. "

So……

Bai Shuiqiu turned to look at Jiufeng Ziyuan.

The latter shrugged, "Understood, when the things you have to do here are completed, leave the rest to me."

After talking with Bai Shuiqiu for a while, the transcript was almost done.

It wasn't complicated, it was just a simple accident.

What the police and Secret Service need to do now is to collect the statistics of the innocent victims involved, and then send it to the police stations in various neighborhoods and put them on the list of key concerns. If this group of people meet again later If there is any supernatural event, you can respond more quickly.

This is also the usual operation of the countermeasure team.

Because generally speaking, people who can encounter spiritual events are more or less connected with spiritual media.

Even if I retreat without risk this time, after such an experience, ordinary people are naturally more likely to be exposed to strange powers, so it is often necessary to conduct careful cross-examination to confirm that they encounter such incidents again. probability.

Wait until the end of the investigation.

Bai Shuiqiu took Jiufeng Ziyuan and walked to the side of the convoy with Rie’s acquiescence, and then used his demon power to modify the memories of the victims, making them think that they had only encountered one caused by the thick fog. In a car accident, he was rescued by the police who arrived in time.

In fact, when Bai Shuiqiu asked the old monster for help, he was so selfish.

After all, these passers-by have all seen the spirit deer bow, puppet doll, and even [Ghost Feather Arrow] that she used when she was fighting with Baizu before. Although there is an element of life-saving grace, these guys should not attack and betray her, but if there are any evil things or practitioners, they can spy on information related to Bai Shuiqiu by exploring their memories...

It means trouble.

For example, Ibaraki Doji and Jiuju have sufficient motivation and ability.

This possibility has to be guarded against.

the other side.

Asakura Fumtai also took a few members of the special service team and tidied up the two hundred-legged bodies.

These two things are still huge, with an average body length of ten or twenty meters, lying on the ground like two jungle pythons.

With his abdomen torn open, he looked particularly hideous.

Moreover, the dark green acid is still flowing from them, and the smell is quite unpleasant, which makes the members of the countermeasure team who have seen many evil spirits slightly changed color. They put on masks, circled the acid liquid flowing around with various tools in their hands, and gathered up the scattered feet and carapace fragments one by one.

Compared with the secret service team, Kuri Jiancheng also waited for the police's attention, but more on Ryoko and others.

To be precise, it was on the various firearms they held.

According to the law, these rifles and submachine guns are basically contraband.

But due to Bai Shuiqiu's face, Dagu and others could only close one eye, and told Bai Shuiqiu and Kanda Keiko not to use firearms at will, and beware of accidental fire. After that, they stopped. Do more.

By this point, Bai Shuiqiu had done everything he could do.

So Rie Asakura offered his farewell.

"Alright, sister Xiaoqiu, you have been tired for a day, so go back and rest early. When the aftermath here is dealt with, I will tell you the result in time."

"good."

Bai Mizuaki waved goodbye to Rie Asakura, and returned to the Toyota Century with Keiko Kashiro.

"Teacher Shion... are you going home now, or do you want to talk about something else?"

In Bai Shuiqiu's view, what the woman just said "to discuss with her about club activities" is mostly just an excuse.

But she wasn't sure whether Jiufeng Ziyuan really had something to do with her, so she asked one more question.

"Well, there was indeed something wrong."

Jiufeng Ziyuan put his hands on his chest, glanced at Bai Shuiqiu's slightly tired face, and sighed faintly: "But it's already late today. Looking at your appearance, I shouldn't have any thoughts to discuss it in detail. , So let’s wait until tomorrow to discuss it in detail.

I have one more thing. I need to check with that little girl from Asakura's house, so I won't send you off for now. "

"Oh well."

Two minutes later, several cars passed through the already very thin fog and drove towards the eastern suburbs from the other side of the road.

Bai Shuiqiu looked through the rear window and looked in the direction of Asakura Rie and others for a while, then retracted his gaze and rubbed his eyebrows a little irritably.

She has a hunch.

Trouble like today... I'm afraid it's just the beginning.

In the future, there will be more "yin domains" and even "li worlds" appearing in these cities around Lantern Mountain. And as time goes by, there will be more and more evil things like Baizu. At that time, I am afraid I don't know how many people will be involved in facing the horror of today.

In this regard, Bai Shuiqiu was a little worried.

Fortunately, other cities are far away, but Narita City is on her doorstep.

This time, Keiko Kamishiro was involved. Next time, it might be Chiyo, Hyuga Asuka, or Kanako. If Bai Shuiqiu is not around, these relatives and friends are involved in the incident, it is likely to bring some very bad results.

but……

What this change has brought about is not entirely bad.

At least one thing--

Bai Shuiqiu is also responsible for the task of curing 100 evil creatures. Under normal circumstances, this task may take months or even longer to complete, but now...maybe because of the coming of this change. Forced to speed up several times. From this perspective, it can be regarded as dependent on blessings and misfortunes.

After driving all the way for more than ten minutes.

Several cars stopped at the foot of Tianmu Mountain in the eastern suburbs.

Bai Shuiqiu and others got off in turn.

After passing through the torii gate at the foot of the mountain, I followed the approach road and returned to Tenme Shrine.

When Bai Shuiqiu and Keiko Kandaji returned from school, it was four or five o'clock.

By this time, the sky was already slightly dim. It was more than seven o'clock in the evening, and the entire sky became dark. The shrine had already passed its business hours, and naturally there were no guests. Only a few dim lights were shining in the courtyard.
