Chapter 203 The Crossing of the Maze
Chapter 203 The Crossing of the Maze
At nine o'clock in the evening, Jade Dragon Temple.
"...At 6.7:[-] tonight, a magnitude [-] earthquake broke out centered on Otemachi, Tokyo. A small number of houses in Otemachi collapsed, and the number of casualties is still being counted...There were landslides of varying degrees along the Tokyo Yamanote Line and the Chuo Line, It is currently discontinued…”
"...Yanaka Cemetery, Tsukiji Honganji Temple, Aoyama Cemetery and other five cemeteries caught fire at the same time at [-]:[-] p.m. today. Firefighters are already in place. The cause of the fire in the cemetery is still under investigation..."
The TV in the communication car was still broadcasting news, and the anchor's voice was calm with a hint of bewilderment.Tonight's Tokyo is really in turmoil, and there is still a hint of ghostly wind and rain in the chaos. The sudden earthquake did not receive any warning in advance. It's just creepy.No arsonist would burn the cemetery if he had nothing to do, and he planned to burn it together. Such a ceremonial fire really forces people to think in the direction of the supernatural.
The intelligence agent sitting in the car thought the same way. He really wanted to discuss it with someone, but he didn't dare to make a sound under the overwhelming low pressure. He just quietly turned his head to look at the source of the low pressure.
The third handle of scepter4 leaned on the car door with his arms folded left and right, his face was clouded.Although his daily feeling is as cold as ice, but today it is more than just ice, it has to be an Antarctic glacier.
Opposite the communication vehicle, members of the mobile unit were pushing out a group of suspects wearing samurai uniforms, and the last one was carrying a bundle of confiscated drugs.
"Fushimi," Akiyama, the leader of the team, came over with a serious expression, "I have checked everything. The fugitive Saijo Taiga's subordinates are all here, and the works of art stolen by Genji Hotaru are also hidden in the warehouse. Except for two items whose whereabouts are unknown, all of them are in the register. This should be the base camp of Saijo Taihe, but..."
But Saijo Taihe himself disappeared, and Miss Sawada, who was supposed to be kidnapped here by him, and Edogawa-kun and his party who came to rescue him were also missing.
The onlookers received it silently in their hearts. When they received the news and came here half an hour ago, they searched the inside and outside of Yulong Temple under the leadership of Fushimi, and the results they got were exactly the same.
"The locator I put on Mi lost contact, and I searched the Tokyo city below through surveillance, but I didn't find any clues about them." A mechanical voice came from Fushimi's cell phone, with a slightly uncomfortable voice. Obvious restlessness.
The correspondent didn't know that there was a super AI on the other end of the phone. He was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and marveled in his heart that he searched the whole city in such a short time.
But their third-in-command seems to have ignored it, "Before Edogawa went up the mountain, what else did he say besides telling you to call for backup in case of accident?"
The voice over there paused for a moment, as if recalling, but it was much faster than normal people, as if there was a one-click search program in the brain, and within half a second he said quickly, "He still asked me to Send him the materials of Nichiren Master, the founder of the Nichiren sect."
Facing Fushimi's back, the correspondent didn't know that the black-haired boy's eyes narrowed suddenly when he heard this sentence.After two or three seconds, he heard the order from the other party's hoarse voice.
"Kinoshita, contact the chief."
"Ah? Oh." The correspondent came back to his senses, turned around, put his hands on the keyboard, and entered the working state, "The communication is being connected, what is the contact?"
"Fushimi Saru Hiko applied for the highest disaster alert plan, disaster level SS, analogous to a king dropping a sword."
"!"
The correspondent's hands on the keyboard froze, and he sent the application according to the procedure with a blank mind, then turned his head stiffly to look at the person who gave the order.
Fushimi's side face leaning against the car was outlined coldly and sharply by the dim moonlight, and he didn't feel like he had said anything terrible. He was asking his phone with lowered eyes, "Where is the Patriarch of the Tsuchimikado family?"
Mount Hiei, Enryakuji Temple.
Patriarch Sakuragawa, who wanted to measure the strength of Tsuchimikado Motoya, was not able to take down the ordinary substitute in her eyes as expected.
After all, when his elder brother Yuanhe was in power, not many people knew that Tuyumen Yuanye had been hiding his strength.
So instead of killing Yuan Ye, she almost capsized on the spot and was detained by Yuan Ye.But when Yuan Ye was about to catch her, a monster as huge as a rock suddenly appeared outside Yanli Temple. Regardless of the burning of Buddha's light, he lifted the roof of the hall and rescued her.
The other party didn't seem to have any intention of confronting them right now, and quickly withdrew after taking Patriarch Sakuragawa away, leaving Tsuchimikado Motoya standing in the mess with his eyes down in thought.
The monster who came to save people seemed to be manipulated by humans. The moment the roof of the main hall was lifted, the golden Buddha light shone brightly. He accidentally looked up and saw a female figure in kimono standing above the monster's head.
Foguang seemed to have a restraining effect on the monster, but he clearly saw that while the monster was injured, the wound was also healing quickly, and its recovery ability was frighteningly high.
But where did it come from?
There are countless big monsters that still exist in the world today, and even the thousand-year-old female ghost Miss Tokuko and Fengshen Yimulian who have never done anything evil are forced to fall into a semi-slumber.With such thick blood and evil spirit all over his body, how could he still be able to walk in this world soberly?Is something going to happen in this world again?
It was when he was thinking about these issues that he received a call from His Excellency King Qing. The Patriarch of the Tuyumen family was not used to carrying electronic products with him, so he got in touch with King Qing after a hand-wringing with his subordinates.
"His Royal Highness disappeared in Yulong Temple?"
"Yes, combined with what happened before." The Blue King Munakata Reiji asked calmly on the other end of the phone, "Your Excellency Tsuchimikado, do you think it is possible for them to fall into the underworld?"
Sawada Ya here.
According to the map, they should have come down from Mount Kurama and are about to enter Kyoto.However, let alone the city of Kyoto, there is not even a serious asphalt road, only a yellow dirt road leading to the end, and I don’t know who is shabby.
The car has never been on such a bumpy road, and the sound of the engine turning is full of grievances.There were no street lights ahead, so it could only be illuminated by the piercing crimson moon overhead.
The car drove through the mist and got closer and closer. Through the headlights of the car, everyone found that there was not only an ancient city gate in front, but also clusters of houses crowded behind the gate.
The eaves are low, the walls are made of mud, and the main entrance is narrow and low, like a scene cut from a Dahe opera.
There were still people in the room, and the light from the candlelight came through the papered window, probably a candle from the underworld, but it was actually glowing faintly green.
It was only when Hattori Heiji leaned against the car window and looked out that there were people on the street outside... or other creatures.Disturbed by the sound of cars passing by, they poked their heads out of the darkness under the eaves one by one, skinny or bloated, fat and thin were very uneven, and everything looked like a living person.
The only good thing is that instead of attacking the traitors who sneaked in, these creatures that don't look like living people rushed to avoid them.He recalled the scenes of the nobles traveling in ox carts in the Dahe drama and the pedestrians on the street avoiding one after another, and it turned out to be very similar here.
While Hattori was thinking aimlessly, he accidentally caught eye with an old woman with a wrinkled face like a tortoise passing by the street.Shocked, he quickly looked away, and finally couldn't help but ask Lori Sawada, who was confidently directing Odasaku to drive in, "Sister, where is this place?"
Little Lolita said naturally, "This is Heianjing."
Conan: "Isn't it the underworld?"
Sawada Ya: "Heian-kyo in the Underworld."
Hattori Heiji:"……"
He felt that he urgently needed to learn the "common sense" in the eyes of his friends, now, immediately!
"Odasaku, turn right this way."
Sawada Ya continued to direct the car to go forward, as if he had returned home.After getting off the main road, the side road is even more broken. The only good thing is that it is probably to reserve a place for the bullock cart to travel. The road is still spacious, and Oda Saku finally found a parking place on the side of the road.
It was a very standard aristocratic house, with a broken Tang-style courtyard wall, covered with black roof tiles, two statues of unknown monsters squatting on the left and right of the gate, and two statues of monsters hanging under the eaves. lanterns.
A group of people stood at the door, watching the silver-haired little girl go up to knock on the door three times.
Hattori touched the back of his neck, which was blown on end by the yin on the street, and stared at the vermilion gate with the red light of the lantern, thinking that it was a ghost story if someone opened the gate at this time, right?
As soon as he thought of this, the door was opened.
A woman in twelve single clothes stood in front of the door with lowered eyebrows and a lantern in her fair hand. She raised her eyelashes slightly and smiled at them. Sir, you are back."
"Ling Nu." Little Loli jumped over the door frame towards her, and was gently caught by Shikigami.
Then she raised her head, "Are you Ji Jun's friends, please come in."
Hattori and Conan looked at each other.
"Um, sorry to bother you."
Behind the gate is the courtyard of the owner of the mansion, which is different from the usual painting style of neatly planting precious flowers and plants in the courtyard of nobles. This garden full of flowers and plants is also a willful and willful person.
"I woke up when I felt Ji Jun's aura," the beautiful woman in twelve single clothes led the way. She seemed to be used to wearing such clothes, and the layers of cumbersome clothes did not bring any effect to her actions. Inconvenient, but there is a kind of graceful beauty, "The honey bug and Xun are not in the flowering period, and I am the only one here for the time being."
Leading the crowd up the corridor and through the long corridor, she finally stopped in front of the tea room next to the backyard and gently opened the paper door.
The room was lit by candles and carefully swept, the floors clean and tidy.
"Ji Jun is here when he wants to discuss matters with his friends. Master Qingming was also here when he discussed important matters with his friends before."
Hattori was walking in with a slight nod towards her, when he was stunned when he heard this, "Master Seimei? Well, little sister, where is this place?"
"Huh? Didn't Ji-jun say that? This is Abe's house, Lord Seimei's residence in Heian-kyo."
Conan next to him was also startled, and then asked eagerly, "Is Master Qingming still here?"
"Of course I'm gone, after all, more than 1000 years have passed." The beautiful shikigami smiled softly, but his expression was somewhat lonely, "I am a shikigami, so I can stay, and I have been sleeping before, and I feel Ji Jun's The spiritual power is awakened."
"That's it."
Conan and Heiji looked at each other and sighed.
Sure enough, Abe Seimei's level of strong support will not come out so easily.
"Ji Jun said that you are in trouble?" Shikigami smiled and pointed to the sky, "Although Master Seimei is no longer here, the barrier he left behind is still protecting this house, as long as you stay here There is no danger for now."
"Uh, thank you."
Shikigami took them to the tea room and left to prepare tea.
They found a seat in the tea room and sat down. Conan mentioned what Ling Nu said about the enchantment in the house, "In short, we are safe for the time being. But Berserker is not dead yet, and sooner or later he will catch up. We You can't hide here forever. The most urgent thing now is..."
"Conan," he had just said, when the silver-haired loli suddenly raised her hand and interrupted him.
There was a hint of confusion on her expression. After a moment of hesitation, she said slowly, "I just discovered that I can't seem to summon servants."
The detective's pupils shrank suddenly, "What?"
Little Lolita looked into his eyes, "It seems that all the servants of this Holy Grail War have been summoned."
