Chapter 295 May
Chamber.

The bright light dissipated the darkness on the fifth floor of the Takamagahara ruins, making it look no different from the ground.

When Haruhiko and others arrived, the meeting hall was already mostly full.

Everyone's eyes were turned to them, to be more precise, Tsuchimikado Mashiro and Hoshino Aoi.

Among the current psychic council, they are the two strongest, as are the Tsuchimikado clan and Izumo Shrine behind them.

Although the fifteen major forces are equal in theory, in reality they are always affected by their strength.

The Psychic Council has a rotating president, and this year it happens to be Tsuchimikado Mashiro.

Under normal circumstances, it takes at least one month to apply to join.

Utsunomiya Mina's previous application was able to complete the process within one day, which was all due to Tsuchimikado Mashiro.

Of course, there’s also Hoshino Aoi’s.

The two major forces are on the side of the Utsunomiya clan, and many forces are willing to sell them a favor and prepare to agree.

Besides, in terms of conditions, the Utsunomiya clan is indeed qualified to join the Psychic Council.

There is a round table in the meeting hall, with a total of sixteen seats.

There are table signs in front of the table, including Haruhiko's.

Next to him is Hoshino Aoi's seat.

As for Tsuchimikado Mashiro, he was sitting in the middle facing the gate.

As the president, I have some nominal preferential treatment.

After Haruhiko sat down, he received a lot of appraising looks.

He was a stranger and he was so young, so it was normal for him to be stared at.

Especially when standing behind him were Utsunomiya Mina and Yukihime.

The former is the former head of the Utsunomiya clan, and the latter is a mysterious fifth-level psyker.

No matter which one it is, it can arouse their curiosity.

After so many things, Haruhiko has a big heart, plus he has many legs that he can hold, so he doesn't feel timid.

He scanned around and found many familiar surnames.

For example, Kamo, Hanakaiin and the like.

However, he didn't know these family heads.

Except for Kaneda Yue and Aoyama Mika.

The former is the director of the Edo Archaeological Bureau, and the latter is the chief minister of Kasuga Shrine.

Kanedao sat in the first seat to the left of Tsuchimikado Mashiro.

This also shows that the Edo Archaeological Bureau's status on the Psychic Council is at the top.

But what caught Haruhiko's attention the most were the two young men behind him.

Judging from their previous guesses, the fifth-level strange demon is most likely hiding in the Edo Archaeological Bureau.

Kaneda Yu has been eliminated by Hotaru Hoshino, but what about these two?

Haruhiko turned to look at Hoshino Hotaru who was standing behind Hoshino Aoi.

She closed her eyes, as if taking a nap, and seemed too lazy to pay attention to the outside world.

The family heads here are all aware of the twin heritage of Izumo Shrine.

But they couldn't tell whether it was Hoshino Hotaru or Hoshino Rin.

Haruhiko looked away again.

With so many fourth- and fifth-level psykers watching, it was impossible for Hotaru Hoshino to give a hint now.

That would certainly arouse suspicion.

It was because he believed that his magical powers could not be distinguished by others that the fifth-level strange demon appeared with such confidence.

Once an abnormality occurs, it is difficult to tell.

As time passed, all the family heads arrived, and the meeting hall became quiet.

"There are only two things in Takamagahara's resolution today."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro stood up and said in a leisurely manner, "The first thing is that the Utsunomiya clan joins the Psychic Council. You have all seen the specific information. Let's vote now."

Haruhiko was a little nervous.

Just as Utsunomiya Mina had worried before, someone might jump out to obstruct it.

However, things went smoothly and the vote passed unanimously.

Haruhiko and Utsunomiya Mina were both a little surprised.

The forces of the Psychic Council are complex. It would be good if half of them passed, but it would be strange if all of them agreed.

Is it because Tsuchimikado Mashiro talked about something else?

Haruhiko didn't have time to wonder, and decided to move on to the second thing.

The remains of Ashiya Michimitsu.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro raised his hand, and spiritual energy gathered above the round table, forming an extremely complex map.

Haruhiko has been to Ashiya Domitsu's ruins before, and they only have two floors.

The upper layer is his true body, and the lower layer is the Ten Fist Sword.

Now the map is all mixed together, and there are eight entrances, making it look like a maze.

"I have a question."

Kanedao looked at the map and asked, "Master Tsuchimikado, why are you sure it is related to the Yamata no Orochi?"

Because it was speculated that the fifth-level strange demon was at the Edo Archaeological Bureau, Tsuchimikado Mashiro spread the news only to the Grand Imperial Palace.

Keep it out of the way so as not to alert the enemy.

As for Tsuchimikado Mashiro's true purpose, only a few people knew it, and naturally Kaneda Yu was not included among them.

"This ruins is very dangerous. We did not enter, but we found a lot of clues at the entrance."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro had already expected this.

Ashiya Michitoshi and others already knew that this ruins was fake, but in order for them to step into the trap, they had to prepare a big gift.

"Everyone, do you know about the Nine God-killing Swords?"

Tsuchimikado Masashiro asked with a slight smile.

"what is that?"

A group of people looked at each other.

The war a thousand years ago was too far away from them.

And the Nine God-killing Swords is a secret among secrets, and only a few people know about it.

After careful consideration, Tsuchimikado Mashiro threw out this bargaining chip.

She wanted them to find the Nine God-killing Swords.

Although Haruhiko holds the spiritual tool "The Story of the Moon Lord", its range of perception is limited.

Japan is so big, it is really difficult to gather the Nine God-Slaying Swords, so it is better to let them help find clues.

Yes, clues.

They don't have "The Moon Lord Monogatari", so it's very difficult to find the Nine God-Slaying Swords directly. The most you can do is find clues.

Of course, even if you are really lucky and they find it, that doesn't matter.

In this world, after all, strength is respected.

"The Nine God-Slaying Swords are the nine spiritual tools that caused Yamata no Orochi to die in the ruins of Takamagahara."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro said directly.

Everyone's expressions changed one after another.

Yamata no Orochi is a god.

The Nine God-killing Swords that can kill gods are undoubtedly divine weapons.

Suddenly, everyone was in high spirits and gearing up.

Of course, some family heads who knew the inside story began to doubt whether what Tsuchimikado Mashiro said was true.

After all, she had said before that Ashiya Domitsu's remains were fake.

Haruhiko was observing the two young men behind Kindayu.

After Tsuchimikado Mashiro said the Nine God-Slaying Swords, they subconsciously showed a slight change in their emotions.

Although it wasn't much, Haruhiko noticed it.

Even if it cannot be proven that the two of them are Ashiya Michitoshi and the strange demon, it is enough to prove that they are not simple.

"Director Kaneda, have you heard of the Nine God-killing Swords?"

Tsuchimikado Mashiro's eyes glanced around, and finally landed on Kaneda Xiong and the other three.

"Slightly heard."

Kaneda Xiong's expression remained unchanged, he nodded and said, "It seems that this ruins is indeed related to the Yamata no Orochi, and maybe it is its burial place."

"Exploring the ruins, you are an expert."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro laughed and asked, "What do you think we should do?"

"Including the Edo Archaeological Bureau, there are seventeen in total."

Kaneda Xiong thought for a moment and said, "Faced with such a dangerous ruin, the number of people is not important, so I suggest that each family should only have three people."

The smaller the number of people, the easier it is for Ashiya Doman and Satsuki to move.

"Because there are eight entrances, to save time, you can team up in twos."

Kaneda Xiong continued, "As for our Edo Archaeological Bureau, we will follow the Tsuchimikado clan when the time comes. What do you think?" Tsuchimikado Mashiro raised his eyebrows slightly.

This is not disguised at all.

He tried every possible means to weaken the support of the Tsuchimikado clan.

But she happened to think so too.

Because if they don't do this, Ashiya Doman and the fifth-level strange demon will not take action.

"no problem."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro agreed, paused, and then said, "How to form a team? For the sake of fairness, let's draw lots."

She glanced at Tsuchimikado Mari, turned and left.

After a while, he appeared with a wooden tube containing sixteen wooden sticks.

"Everyone, please check."

Mari Tsuchimikado casually threw the wooden tube in front of Hoshino Aoi.

She glanced at it and pushed it to the left.

After a round, no one raised any objections, and then the official drawing of lots began.

Mashiro Tsuchimikado was the first.

She shook it, and a lottery ticket flew out, with Utsunomiya clan written on the lower part.

Hoshino Hotaru suddenly frowned.

She suspected something shady.

It's just that she knows the relationship between Tsuchimikado Mashiro and Haruhiko, so it's hard to say anything.

Just a little unhappy.

The reason why she came to this ruins was because she wanted to see Haruhiko.

However, she didn't show any of her emotions and remained expressionless.

But she was already thinking about sneaking over halfway.

In fact, Haruhiko also suspected that Tsuchimikado Mashiro had done something.

Besides, the wooden tube was prepared by Tsuchimikado Marri. Given her character, cheating is quite normal.

But no matter what, for Haruhiko, this is one of the best results.

Except for the Tsuchimikado clan and the Izumo Shrine, most of the forces were actually a bit behind Yukihime.

Haruhiko doesn't want to worry about these guys. It's natural to follow the Tsuchimikado clan.

When it was Izumo Shrine's turn, Hoshino Aoi drew the Kasuga Shrine's Aoyama Mika.

Seeing her, Haruhiko thought of Nao Aoyama.

Until now, she has not completely unlocked the seal and returned the drinking hunt.

It has to be said that Jianyu Leishen's handiwork is troublesome.

Fortunately, the Nine God-killing Swords have not been gathered yet, so it doesn't matter if Yin Lie is placed with her.

Nao Aoyama is a fifth-level priest and is relatively safe.

Haruhiko glanced at Hoshino Aoi again.

He had learned from the seventh penalty area that Akashi's other half was in the first penalty area.

He asked Rin Hoshino, but she didn't know.

Hoshino Aoi had been at the Takamagahara ruins before, and Haruhiko couldn't see her, so he didn't ask.

Looks like I'll have to ask later.

After the draw is completed, the team formation is completed.

The only Edo Archaeological Bureau that did not draw automatically joined the ranks of the Tsuchimikado clan and the Utsunomiya clan.

Gao Tianyuan's decision came to an end.

The official exploration will have to wait until tomorrow.

First, it was already evening, so there was no need to be in such a hurry.

Second, Tsuchimikado Mashiro and others need to discuss the countermeasures for tomorrow.

After leaving the meeting hall, everyone went back to their rooms.

At this time, everyone gathered in Hoshino Aoi's room.

"Have you found any traces of strange demons?"

Tsuchimikado Mashiro couldn't help but ask.

The purpose of forging relics and holding meetings was to lure the strange demon to appear.

If not, it's all in vain.

"Have."

Hoshino Aoi nodded and said, "The young man standing behind Kaneda Yue."

"You mean Goro?"

Tsuchimikado Mashiro recalled for a while and asked.

"It was him."

Hoshino Aoi once again confirmed, "He has the aura of a strange demon in his body, and he hides his true strength. He is the fifth level."

"Goro is the apprentice that Kaneda Xiong accepted seven years ago."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro chuckled, "No wonder I haven't been able to find out his previous experiences. It turns out he really appeared out of thin air."

"What about the young man next to you?"

Haruhiko asked, "Is it Ashiya Michitoshi?"

"I don't know."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro thought for a moment and said, "I remember his name is Takano Kouta. He has been in the Edo Archaeological Bureau for several years. He has been promoted all the way up. He has all the past experiences and can't see anything wrong with him."

"With Ashiya Michimi's strength, it's not difficult to impersonate him."

Tsuchimikado Marri said calmly, "Anyway, I would rather kill him by mistake than let him go. He will naturally show his flaws when the time comes."

Haruhiko secretly said that it was indeed her style, so direct and rough.

But I have to say it is indeed a good idea.

"That's it."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro also nodded in agreement, paused, and then said, "The Edo Archaeological Bureau has at least three fifth-level psychics. At the same time, we must also consider the possibility of hiding in secret, so we will guide them to traps when the time comes. , Izumo Shrine will also join us."

"Ah."

Hoshino Aoi responded.

This has been discussed before and she has no objection.

"Everyone go back and rest."

Mashiro Tsuchimikado seemed to be pointing out something and said, "Don't waste any more energy tonight to cope with tomorrow's battle."

Haruhiko twitched the corner of his mouth.

He always felt that Tsuchimikado Mashiro was talking about him.

Maybe it's not a feeling, it's real.

"I have something to ask Aunt Kui, you go first."

Haruhiko stayed.

Although Tsuchimikado Mashiro, Yukihime and others were a little curious, they left the room without asking anything.

If it was just the Nine God-killing Swords, there would be no problem for them to stay.

But the problem is that this involves the twin inheritance of Izumo Shrine.

"Aunt Aoi."

Haruhiko glanced at Hoshino Hotaru and asked, "Do you know about the Nine God-killing Swords?"

"Tsuchimikado Mashiro has said it before."

Hoshino Aoi said expressionlessly, "Just say it."

"Is Akashi, one of the Nine God-Slaying Swordsmen, at Izumo Shrine?"

Haruhiko was a little embarrassed and immediately got back to business.

"Akashi?"

Hoshino Aoi was a little surprised, "Do you know the specific nine swords of God-killing?"

"You don't know?"

Haruhiko was shocked to see her expression.

"do not know."

Hoshino Aoi told the truth, "Except for Yamata no Orochi and Ashiya Michito, no one should know."

"I was in the seventh restricted area before, and I got the news that Mingshi was in the first restricted area."

Haruhiko's words left Hoshino Aoi stunned.

After a moment, he suddenly realized.

"It turns out that the broken sword is Akashi."

Hoshino Aoi said in a deep voice, "Izumo Shrine did get a broken sword in the first restricted area, but we never knew what it was."
