Chapter 315 Diffusion
Kyoto, Kinkaku-ji Temple in Kita Ward.

Kinkaku-ji Temple is known as Luyuan Temple, and it is the most Buddhist temple with Buddhist historical significance in Kyoto.

However, today's Kinkaku-ji Temple is not an ancient temple built during the Shogunate era, but a temple rebuilt on the original site after the Kinkaku-ji arson incident 25 years after the Showa era.

"Report, the target is in the temple."

Outside the Kinkakuji Temple, Sakai, who had heard the news, was greeted by the special surprise attack team saluting and reporting.

"you sure?"

Hearing the report from the special assault force, Sakai raised his head and glanced at the magnificent temple on the river.

"We investigated the whereabouts of the monks along the way, and found that they returned to the Kinkakuji Temple on foot after completing their ceremonies, and have not come out so far. According to the answers from the people around the Kinkakuji Temple, they did look at it in the morning. A group of monks wearing canopies passed by and entered the Kinkakuji Temple."

Sakai frowned when he heard the investigation by the special assault force.

He originally thought that the statues would be hidden after getting the heads of the Kinkakuji monks.

Unexpectedly, they returned to the temple in such a grandiose manner.

"Do the rest of the Kinkaku-ji monks know about their anomalies?"

Shaking his head, the special raid force said.

"not yet."

Sakai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the answer from the special assault force, and then quickly gave instructions.

"Since this is the case, let's make a quick decision and send a small group of members of the special assault force to sneak into the residences of the Kinkakuji monks who came back from Horikawa High School, and deal with them all before the casualties occur."

Judging from the investigation of the Tanaka case by the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department.

These headless statues are not too dangerous. Even ordinary high school students can break them with their own strength, let alone a small group of fully equipped special assault troops.

Although, at present, these headless statues returning to Kinkakuji seem to be as usual, faithfully playing their monks.

But that's only if the heads on their necks are intact.

Once the monk's head on the statue's neck rots or is destroyed, the statue will revert to killing in order to get a new head.

"Remember, unless it is absolutely necessary, do not cause too serious damage to the Kinkakuji Temple, especially those important cultural relics."

As an important historical relic, Kinkaku-ji Temple cost 7 million yen to restore, which is called the "Showa Restoration".

In case of any damage during the operation, Sakai cannot afford compensation.

"As ordered."

In fact, even without Sakai's reminder, the members of these special assault forces knew the importance of Kinkakuji.

Therefore, they nodded, and the expressions on their faces became a little dignified.

It is necessary to carry out the operation without destroying the Golden Pavilion itself as much as possible. Even the people of the special assault force feel the arduousness of this mission.

Under the gaze of Sakai, the special assault force entered the Kinkakuji Temple in an orderly manner.

The monks in the temple had been notified in advance, so although their expressions were disturbed, they still cooperated and did not make much movement.

bang bang-

bang bang bang-

Just when the special assault force entered the world where the monks had not been returning for too long, rapid gunfire sounded from the other courtyard of the temple.

Hearing these gunshots, Sakai's eyes couldn't help twitching a few times.

I prayed secretly in my heart that these special assault troops would not go too far in the temple.

"..."

After the brief gunshot, the entire Kinkakuji Temple became inexplicably quiet.

Without explaining the specific reason, the monks of Kinkakuji Temple were a little disturbed when they heard the gunshots in the temple.

They clasped their palms together and recited scriptures continuously.

However, it could be seen from the trembling palms that these monks were not at peace.

Fortunately, there is no quiet time for too long.

Operation Special Raiders is back.

"Wait a minute, let me see your necks!"

Seeing these special assault troops returning with neat steps, Sakai did not relax at all, but ordered with a serious expression.

Hearing Sakai's order, the members of these special assault forces stopped, and then pulled down their collars to reveal their necks without any scars.

Seeing this, Sakai breathed a sigh of relief.

……

However, the next day.

Sakai realized that his breath of relief was a bit too early.

Arrange for people from the Metropolitan Police Department to follow up with the broken headless statues and the heads of those monks in the Golden Pavilion Temple.

In the Metropolitan Police Department, they received many calls to the police, saying that many inexplicable figures appeared near Horikawa. These people appeared in various places in Horikawa, maintaining various strange postures and motionless. It has even affected the surrounding traffic conditions.

Dudu!

On the busy street, a large number of vehicles were blocked on the road. They honked their horns at the motionless figure at the intersection, making the already noisy scene even more chaotic.

"Are these the people mentioned in the police report?"

Received a call to the police and came to the scene.

Looking at the motionless figure with his arms raised like a scarecrow at the intersection, Sakai couldn't help frowning, and the anxiety in his heart became a little heavier.

The passing man was not an exception, in fact, there were similar scenes all over Horikawa.

These people's identities, ages and even occupations were different, but they suddenly stopped around as if they had made an appointment, maintaining this inexplicable posture.

Dudu!

Faced with the increasingly noisy horns around him, Sakai asked the policeman who found him.

"Didn't you try to take it away from here?"

"I have tried, but no matter how hard we drive them away, they will return to the place where they were found in a short time."

Arranging for the traffic police to continue to clean up the chaotic traffic around, Sakai walked up to the man.

As he approached, Sakai gradually saw the appearance of the man clearly.

This is a middle-aged man who looks about 40 years old, but there is nothing special about his appearance.

"Good morning sir."

Facing the man who took out his ID, Sakai watched him with his arms raised and motionless.

Under normal circumstances, it would not take long for ordinary people to maintain such a posture, and they would not be able to persist. However, the man in front of him did not have any expression of difficulty on his face. He just held his arms up with a numb expression on his face.

"I am a policeman from the Metropolitan Police Department. Everything you have done has already affected the social order to a certain extent. I need to know the reason for you and those like you to do so?"
