Rubik's Cube World

After the morning exercise, Eriko Ito, Suzu Ito, Rina Ito and Aya returned to the house one after another, and each went back to the bedroom to clean up.

After a while, Eriko and the others gathered in the big room again after washing, sat in front of the table full of food, clasped their hands together and said in unison, "I'm starting!"

"Oh, I forgot to wake up Ah Cheng for breakfast." Just as everyone picked up their chopsticks and prepared to eat, Ya Ye suddenly exclaimed.

"What? Is Ah Cheng back?" Eriko asked in surprise after hearing Yaye's exclamation.

"Yes, Auntie, Ah Cheng came back around 2 o'clock in the morning." Ya Ye explained.

"Oh." Eriko nodded and said, "Don't worry about him, let's eat first, and when he wakes up, I'll heat up his meal."

"Yes." Ya Ye replied, and started eating with everyone.

When the meal was halfway through, Ito Cheng with messy hair came out of the back room leisurely, and greeted the four people who were eating, "Mother, eldest sister, second sister, Ya Ye, good morning."

"Morning, early," the voices of Ito Suzu and Ito Rena sounded almost at the same time.

"En." Eriko replied, who had food in her mouth and couldn't speak.

"Good morning, Ah Cheng." Ya Ye greeted.

"Sit down and eat." Eriko said to Ito Cheng after swallowing the food in her mouth.

"Okay." Ito Cheng nodded and agreed, then walked to his own seat at the table and sat down.

"I'll get you a meal." Ya Ye put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, got up and walked to the kitchen.

"Why did you come back so early?" Eriko asked.

"I have investigated some things, and I can't figure it out, so I came back to see if my mother knew about it." Itocheng said, "But I'll talk about it after dinner."

"Okay, let's eat first." Eriko agreed.

"Ah Cheng, here you are." At this time, Ya Ye also came out with a plate at the right time, on which were a bowl of rice, a large bowl of clear soup, and two fried fish.

"Thank you." Ito Cheng stretched out his hand to take the plate from Ya Ye's hand and said.

Afterwards, the family quietly finished the Japanese-style breakfast, cleaned and put away all the tableware, and sat down in the hall of the main house.

"Speak." Eriko said after Ito Ling made a cup of tea for everyone and divided them.

"Let's start with what I've seen and heard along the way." Itocheng picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip of the clear tea in the cup, held the still warm teacup in his palm, and said, "Starting from this mountain, there are only In a few buildings, one or two households can be seen sporadically. Other buildings have been completely turned into empty houses and ghost buildings. There are different numbers of low-level monsters gathered around these monsters, just like in the Edo period, there was a situation of forming cliques and dividing land to become kings."

"Is it already this serious?" Eriko asked with a frown after hearing Ito Cheng's description.

"Fortunately, after all, the residents have almost fled. Now the low-level monsters can hardly find humans to kill, and cannibalism has already begun." Itocheng comforted.

"That's okay." Eriko nodded.

"However, correspondingly, the evolution rate of the low-level monsters has accelerated during the massacre. Coupled with the catalysis of the filth, I believe that it will not be long before there will be evolutions comparable to real monsters." Ito Chengdao.

"Next, let's talk about the situation in downtown Tokyo." Seeing that the others didn't have anything to say, he continued.Then he asked Eriko, "Mother, do you know that there is a city barrier on the border of xx town in downtown Tokyo?"

"City barrier?" Eriko frowned and thought for a while, "I heard from your grandfather that when Emperor Meiji moved the capital to Tokyo, he mobilized a group of members of Ise Shrine to set up a barrier in Tokyo. As for whether it was you or not?" The city enchantment mentioned is not very clear."

"That's it." Ito Cheng nodded thoughtfully, and continued, "Using the xx town I just mentioned as the boundary, the monsters outside the boundary are as I said just now. They are more rampant and form cliques. But The situation in the urban area of ​​Tokyo inside the barrier is quite different from that outside the barrier. Normal order has been completely restored. Even if there are still monsters, they are almost weakened to the point where three or five ordinary people can defeat them with a little effort. .”

"It seems that the environment has saved a lot of effort." Eriko praised.Although it is said that Shinto and the Ministry of the Environment do not fight each other, the two sides are basically unified on the issue of demons. Eriko cannot but appreciate the results of the Ministry of the Environment's actions.

"Yes, it's just that I'm worried that Mr. Kobayashi, the second office of the Ministry of the Environment, will take advantage of the problem and hit us again." Itocheng said.

"You don't need to worry too much about this. Kobayashi from the Ministry of the Environment is not a person who only focuses on immediate interests. I believe the other party will not attack us when the situation is unclear." Eriko comforted.

"But Mom, what if?" Ito Ling, who had been listening from the sidelines, suddenly asked.

"Hmm~" Eriko was stopped by the question, and lowered her head in thought.After a while, he said helplessly, "It would be great if your grandpa was here."

"Ah Cheng, you continue." After a moment of silence in the room, Eriko suddenly remembered that Ito Cheng seemed to have something to say, so she spoke.

"Oh." Ito Cheng nodded and continued, "Because I am more curious about the current situation of the Ministry of the Environment, I want to find out some of their situation, and I also want to see if I can get some useful information from them, so I So I found an opportunity to sneak into the office building of the Ministry of the Environment..."

"You actually sneaked into the office building of the Ministry of the Environment?" Eriko said angrily with a face full of surprise.

"Yes." Ito Cheng said.

"Don't you know that there is the headquarters of the Ministry of the Environment? You are not afraid of dying in it after entering it? There is no way to get information and you have to sneak in! Have you ever thought about us! Have you ever thought about Ya Ye!" After Ito Cheng admitted, Eriko immediately broke out, and blamed him full of anger.But Cheng Ito can clearly feel the deep love and fear from Eriko's words.

Itocheng accepted Eriko's scolding honestly, without refuting at all, until Eriko had enough scolding.

"Keep talking." Eriko, who had been scolding for a long time, looked at Ito Naruto's appearance and couldn't continue scolding, so she had to snort coldly.

"I saw an order from a certain office." Ito Cheng didn't dare to say that he got the order from the office on the floor where the first room was located at this time, but said vaguely.

"What order?" Ito Suzu asked curiously.

"A joint order from the emperor and the cabinet to search for 18 18-year-old virgins who were born in the yin month of yinriyin in the yin year, as well as a [-]-year-old virgin who practiced spiritual power." Ito Chengdao.

"What!" Eriko's complexion changed after hearing this order, and she stood up abruptly from the ground and exclaimed.

"What's wrong with mom?" Ito Suzu was taken aback by Eriko's reaction, and quickly asked with concern.

"What are the cabinet and the imperial family going to do? Aren't they afraid that the summoned things will get out of control and become a serious problem?" Eriko ignored Ito Suzu's inquiry, just stood there and muttered to herself.

"Mother, what's going on?" Itocheng asked loudly, frowning.

"Hey!" Eriko, who was awakened by Ito Naruto's voice, sighed, sat down again, looked at the inquiring eyes of Ito Suzu, Ito Naruto, Ito Reina, and Aya and said, "You should know the yin and yang technique. There is a way to use it—shikigami."

"Yes." All four nodded.

"There are two ways to obtain shikigami, capturing and summoning." Eriko explained, "The so-called capturing method is to capture powerful lonely ghosts or kill monsters and force their souls to make them. Summoning is through A special method summons a designated powerful ghost at a special time, and makes the other party a shikigami by agreement or coercion."

"Except for a few exceptions, the captured shikigami are generally weak, but they are relatively simple to obtain and easy to control. They were the first choice for ancient yin and yang masters to make shikigami. Although the summoned shikigami are all They are powerful ghosts and gods, but each one has a distinct personality, and they are not completely under the control of the summoner. Moreover, the summoning shikigami has many requirements and is difficult to raise. If it is not a powerful force, it is generally impossible to support this kind of shikigami. Shikigami. But correspondingly, as long as you get such a shikigami, no matter you personally or your family will definitely become the top power at that time, the representative of which is Ampere Seimei back then..."
