Fast Forward To 3077

As a religious place, Inagawa Shrine, in order to show devotion, the torii gate underneath is used as the boundary, and no technological products are placed inside as much as possible. The priests and maidens living here They also follow the ancient system.

This undoubtedly created a lot of difficulties for Secret Society's investigation.

It was the morning of the 2nd day when the victims were found. The evil methods imposed on them dissipated over time. When the professionals from the Secret Society arrived, the remaining energy concentration even camped. The flesh and blood of the remaining beasts are incomparable, almost nothing.

Failed to get more information from the victim in the middle of the ladder.

Xu Jiu and the three can only continue to go up.

I have to admit that the layout and construction of Inagawa Shrine is definitely a great effort. Just talk about this slope ladder, and the open space on both sides is planted with trees that look extremely rich in life force. , These trees don’t know what species they are, they actually bloomed with large pink and white plain flowers.

"Want to create this kind of landscape in the downtown area, the consortium behind this Inagawa Shrine is more powerful than expected?"

Extending the hand, I want to try Jing Shu who wants to pick up the petals that are drifting in the wind, Xu Jiu's eyes are patrolling around.

"The God of Foxes enshrined in Inagawa Shrine has a large number of believers throughout Qinghong City. The Jinchuan consortium itself also has this background, so when the shrine was built, the city government was also quite supportive , And then this shrine is very famous in the entire Wusu City, but unfortunately this time it was bad luck and was invaded by evil."

"Is it really just bad luck?"

p>

Stepping up the last Level 1 ladder and noticing the scene in front of the shrine's main hall, Xu Jiu crushed the petals on his fingertips and threw them away.

Inagawa Shrine is laid out in a font type. Xu Jiu is facing the main hall, which is dedicated to the god of foxes. Around these three main halls.

In the center of these three main halls, there is planted a tree that is said to be transplanted from a special area. It is similar to the banyan tree has several points of, lush and green, and the branches are covered with red Tied with silk, wooden tokens with various wishes written on them.

Around the bottom of the banyan tree, there are more than a dozen priests and witches standing at this moment. They each carry utensils that should be used for ceremony and prayers. There are few lamps, and the candles inside are still burning.

It was supposed to be a harmonious and beautiful picture, but at the moment, Xu Jiu's eyes were strange.

Because the state of these dozen people is exactly the same as the victims on the previous ladder.

The whole body is petrified, the head is broken and opened, the internal brain disappears without a trace, and there are even a few pink white petals in the empty body.

The horrible mutilated body is surrounded by a huge tree that symbolizes a beautiful vision and is full of vitality.

The sharp contrast between life and death is so cruel.

"What they performed last night was the mid-month festival held at Inagawa Shrine. Through divine dances and singing, they prayed that the divine ability of the imperial fox would continue to bless the believers."

Turning on the handheld computer again, Max explained the situation here, and Xu Jiu leaned forward first.

'Keeping the original movements, looking at the positions of these people are not messy at all, it is enough to prove that they did not notice any danger before death, and the method of evil invasion is obviously extremely'soft'. ..... Petrify first, or hunt the brain first? '

Walking between the victims, Xu Jiu watched their state, eyeing every detail that was easily overlooked.

In my mind is thinking about the process that caused this phenomenon.

Each evil spirit has its own characteristics, which has been determined long ago, but no detailed information about these evil spirits has been obtained from the Secret Society, and they can only be analyzed in recent investigations.

dīng líng líng ~

The phone ringing suddenly, Xu Jiu step one stopped, he turned around abruptly, but the place where he looked at was not Max who was digging his phone, but the main hall of the shrine position.

"Hey, I’m Max, Freshwood Group...something else?"

I thought it was the Freshwood Group’s things that have progressed, then After I picked up the phone, I found out that it was another business, Max was subconsciously frowned. After all, the business he was in charge of should be on the Freshwood Group side. He was about to continue talking, but was suddenly interrupted by Xu Jiu.

"Max, is there anyone in the main hall of the shrine?"

Xu Jiu waved to the blessing among the branches of the tree. Ascendant Light fell out of thin air and fell straight into his hands. He asked in a deep voice.

"Huh? Yes, in order to investigate the situation, we found a few people who were not in the shrine last night to prepare for questioning. They are in the main hall, and AIB investigators are following them to carry out the search Mission."

Seeing Xu Jiu suddenly taking out the weapon, Max replied hurriedly, realizing that something was wrong.

The voice just fell, Xu Jiu has disappeared in place.

Quickly rushing into the main hall of the shrine, Xu Jiu's eyes locked on the twisted mist that appeared in the front field of vision at an unknown time.

Along with the muffled noise of the collision between the soles of the shoes and the wooden corridor, Xu Jiu had no intention of knocking on the door. He kicked the main entrance of the shrine directly with one foot and jumped into the main hall dedicated to the gods.

Several AIB investigators formed a group, heard the sound at the door, turned back and looked at Xu Jiu.

"The evil energy invades, get away!"

The person who finally landed in the middle of the crowd called out loudly.

The AIB investigators who can be dispatched here to cooperate in the operation are naturally aware of the existence of evil and the degree of terror, Xu Jiu's voice, the few people shouting back again and again, and the center half kneeled on the ground. The man in the costume of the priest was revealed.

In the Spirit Vision state, evil energy is tumbling in this person.

Xu Jiu came to the man's side, stretched out his hand to grab his collar and lifted him from the ground. Just about to ask, his pupils suddenly shrank in the next second.

I saw that the priest’s face was full of happiness, and the corners of his mouth were filled with smiles.

"The God of Fox, I am honored to have your favor.. .... I would like to dedicate everything for you..."

At first, Xu Jiu could understand a few words, but behind it were all obscure incantions.

At the same time, Xu Jiu quickly noticed the increase of evil energy.

Looking down, the priest's feet began to ossify, and his skin turned into cyan-gray color, and this state continued to spread upward.

'Isn't he trying to train him into a weird, just pure plunder? '

While being confused, Xu Jiu's palm burst into a light red mist, which was injected into the body of the priest.

He wants to see what this evil monster is doing.

After the previous dream battle, Xu Jiu has a new understanding of the use of his own circular bead energy.

He was suddenly in a trance.

The main hall of the bright shrine plunged into darkness first, and when it lit up again, the surrounding AIB members had disappeared.

Instead, the red leaves drifting all over the sky, and the melodious bells from afar, gradually calmed the impetuous mood.

There was a strange neighing sound in my ears.

Xu Jiu lifts the head abruptly, looking towards the Divine Idol enshrined in the temple.

Sitting on the redwood stage, Divine Idol, a royal fox with a graceful posture, seemed to have been infused with life at some point, with holy rays of light blooming all over his body, changing from a prone position to a standing position , Jumped down from the stage, pacing around the two.

Xixizuosuo's whisper sounded in Xu Jiu's mind, conveying a message that he couldn't understand.

The priest holding the head in his hand has long lost his reason, just smirked with his head up, and Xu Jiu, who also faces the attack of evil energy, does not need him to actively control it. The light red mist comes from the whole body first. Gushing out, faintly turning into a dog-beast appearance, roaring at the Royal Fox God.

Next second.

The spirit returns to Qingming again.

Xu Jiu took a long breath and let go of his hand. The priest was completely limp, his body stiffness seemed to have returned to normal, and he looked around blankly.

Maintain the Spirit Vision state, and focus on Divine Idol, a royal fox not far in front of you.

The evil energy has dissipated at this time, as if it had never appeared before.

How is this done?

Max and Jing Shu have also arrived at the main hall at this time. Just now they saw that Xu Jiu fell into silence and started to scare both of them. When the latter opened his eyes, they cautiously stepped forward. Wanting to inquire about the situation, but before they opened his mouth, Xu Jiu opened his mouth first.

"I know what traits this evil value values."

His eyes circled around the AIB investigator who was not affected in any way, and Xu Jiu continued,

"Faith, its goal is these devout believers of their own beliefs!"

The process of drawing this conclusion is not complicated.

Before Xu Jiu entered the main hall, the investigators of AIB stood with the priest who had just arrived today, and after the evil gang launched the invasion, only the priest was affected.

Not only that, Xu Jiu activates the circular bead energy and injects it into the priest's body. After the priest is affected by the evil energy, what they see is the same.

It is unnecessary to say what Royal Fox God means to these priests who serve it.

The priest who saw Divine Idol moved up and received the evil spirit invasion without any hesitation.

This also explains why those people outside not only did not resist or flee when they were corroded by evil, but continued to maintain the ceremony.

In their view, that is simply not a death threat, but the obvious spirit of God!

"I just received the information that the same victim appeared in another shrine in Qinghong District, except that the gods enshrined in that shrine are completely different from Inagawa Shrine."

The previous call to the shrine came from the headquarters of Secret Society. After receiving the AIB's notice, they found that the Xu Jiu entire group was in the vicinity. Then they chose to contact Max. The latter contacted Xu Jiu’s speculation and muttered. Words,

"This makes sense... But why do evil people choose this kind of people as targets? It stands to reason that these people who have faith have their own mental state It should be more stable."

"Because they have a firm belief in their beliefs, when evil becomes their place of faith, these people will collapse much faster than ordinary people."

I casually explained that the battle did not break out, and no more clues of evil were found. Xu Jiu curled his lips and saw Max looked thoughtful. It is estimated that he would have to call Secret Society again, so he called Jing Shu next to him. He made a gesture to beckon her to follow her.

The two one after the other left, and when they got outside, Xu Jiu didn't plan to go far.

I found a clean place on the side of the corridor and sat down. The environment around Inagawa Shrine is really good, and even the spring breeze coming in is mixed with the fragrance of flowers.

Xu Jiu stretched his waist, reached out his hand to take the bounced Fu Ling, and looked at Jing Shu who was hesitant to speak next to him,

"Just ask if you have any questions, ask After that, I have something to ask you."

"How did you know that the evil target is a believer?"

Jing Shu still didn't hold back his curiosity, and took the initiative to ask and wait for Xu After Jiu roughly explained it, he asked again,

"Why do evil looting these people's brains?"

"If I know everything, then what is Secret Society formed? , It’s up to you to check, I’m just a person who takes money to do things."

The main purpose of Xu Jiu’s coming here is to help Secret Society figure out how the evil spirits choose victims. Now that we have Meimei, his work will end here.

He is not a detective, he wants to find out when he encounters a case.

This is not to say that Xu Jiu is indifferent to evil.

As a matter of fact, knowing that the remaining energy of the evil spirit body can be used to complete the evolution of his extraordinary ability, Xu Jiu's eagerness to seal the evil spirit is no less than that of Secret Society.

It's just that Secret Society is undoubtedly more professional than Xu Jiu in terms of tracing evil.

For professional things, let professional people do it, and acting too enthusiastically will only make Secret Society doubt its motives.

even more how Xu Jiu How can I ask for rewards in the future?

"I'm finished asking...You said at the headquarters that you want to ask me something?"

Jing Shu watched Xu Jiu leaning against the vermilion column with one leg The leisurely appearance on the railing, while talking, hesitated to imitate his movements and wanted to sit on the railing.

As a result, because of the height problem, one leg was lifted up, but the foot of the other leg couldn't touch the ground. The whole person swayed for a while, noticing the smile on Xu Jiu's face, which was red again. He lowered his face and hugged the pillar with his head hanging down instead.

She is autistic.

"You must have guessed the matter in the special area of ​​the four seasons, and I am not going to continue to cover it, but I will only tell you, and I hope you can keep it secret, as it is to save me before paying back Your kindness."

The Secret Society had already concluded something, Xu Jiu is not a hypocritical person, and after admitting it generously, he continued,

"The bead is indeed In my hand, I am looking for you this time, just want to know the circular bead and its body information... I remember the words you said in the temple, although I don’t understand, but I can feel it You were talking about the evil monster that should have the beads."

The Dreamweaver spider was sealed before, because it was uncertain whether the Secret Society already knew that he was a mysterious person, and Xu Jiu did not take the initiative to mention it. In this regard, relevant intelligence will naturally not have the opportunity to collect.

Now the situation has changed. On the one hand, I did have a problem with the circular bead. On the other hand, Secret Society also noticed Xu Jiu's identity as a mysterious person in the Four Seasons Special Zone.

Instead of continuing to hide and tuck, it is better to take the initiative to speak.

As early as the specific situation of heaven knows circular bead, we can start thinking about how to solve this trouble as early as possible.
