Truth is everywhere within range

Fujinami Shinji was not taken away, but was imprisoned in the dungeon of Ise Shrine.

This dungeon is located underground in the shrine complex. It not only holds prisoners, but also contains weird things.

For example, Anaconda, who had previously attacked Atsuta Shrine and stolen the Amansuguun Sword, was now being suppressed in the dungeon of Ise Shrine.

The method of suppressing these monsters is to use various magic techniques to block their senses and spiritual power, and imprison them in extremely dark prisons.

This is not a simple cell in the movie that can be robbed at any time, but a confinement made of protected cypress wood and various sealing charms. The monsters staying inside cannot move freely and will only be hung by chains. , always maintaining the same posture, unable to see or feel anything, and can only spend the rest of his life in eternal darkness.

Since the Soul Exterminator has spiritual power, if he stays in an ordinary prison, he is likely to use his magic to make some escape actions, or attract strange people to escape. Therefore, most of the crimes related to the Soul Exorcist are They are all imprisoned in the dungeon of the shrine in cooperation with the police.

Qiao Qiao learned about this incident at the morning meeting the next day. The person who announced the incident was none other than Fujinami Shinji's grandfather, the current Young Palace Secretary Fujinami Teruyo.

I don't know if it was Qiao Qiao's illusion, but when the old man said this, his voice was full of helplessness and disappointment.

The death penalty rate in Japan is very low, and there are even criminals who brutally killed a mother and her child but were not sentenced to death for twenty years. It is not known how the crime of Fujinami Nobuharu will be tried.

Qiao Qiao didn't care much.

In the afternoon, patrol time as usual.

Because of the murder, patrols became more important. It was not just trainee mikos and trainee priests like Kuroda Makoto. Each group was also equipped with a formal priest.

Outside the shrine, many reporters gathered.

"reporter?"

Kuroda Makoto looked curiously at those people waiting outside the shrine with cameras and microphones.

Ise City has probably not been that lively before, and there were a lot more people visiting the shrine today.

"The murder was revealed, so that's why there are so many people."

Qiao Qiao guessed.

"Do you know about the Ise Shrine murder incident?"

"Do you know Shinji Fujinami? What kind of person is he?"

"I heard that Fujinami Shinji killed someone because of emotional disputes. What is the relationship between him and the deceased?"

"Do you know what kind of person the deceased's boyfriend Tanizaki Koji is?"

"Is it because you chose to come to worship today because of the murder that happened the day before yesterday?"

In this way, reporters chased and intercepted the priests who left the shrine to patrol.

It even affected the tourists who came to worship.

The guards of the shrine had to drive away these reporters to protect normal tourists, but some reporters directly pretended to be ordinary tourists and blended in. From time to time, you can see the guards pulling the reporters out and taking them away.

"very scary."

Qiao Qiao heard Kitashirakawa Rika's voice.

"Who are these people?"

"It's a reporter. I don't know where I heard the news. The Harvest Festival is approaching and such big news has come out of Ise Shrine. I'm afraid they all want to get first-hand information."

Qiao Qiao answered.

To be honest, this time is not suitable for sending miko and priests to leave the shrine, but if they do not act as usual, it will make the citizens feel uneasy, so they will send official miko and priests to follow.

He glanced at Kuroda Jun behind him.

She seemed a little angry because Qiao Qiao had doubted her, and followed the two of them without saying a word.

On the one hand, Koji Tanizaki was hit hard by the death of his girlfriend. On the other hand, he was also a person involved in this incident, so he stayed in the shrine today and did not go out.

"Reporter? Is that the person who writes the news?"

Kitashirakawa Rika probably still knew what a reporter did. Through Qiao Qiao's eyes, she looked at the media people.

"Yes, the media, but most of them are mold bodies that eat human blood steamed buns."

"Human blood steamed buns? It sounds so scary."

Kitashirakawa Rika naturally didn't know the meaning behind this word.

"It means consuming the dead."

Qiao Qiao explained in a low voice while avoiding the reporters.

"Among these people, there is probably not one who truly feels sorry for the deceased. They are all here for the sake of curiosity, wanting to be the first to release the news, or use this incident to attack Ise Shrine or even the spiritual masters. people."

"That's too much."

Kitashirakawa Rika looked at those people through the bronze mirror and said.

At this time, Makoto Kuroda was stopped by two men.

"Miko, do you know Fujinami Shinji? I heard that he used his power as a spirit slayer to commit vicious crimes. What do you spirit slayers think of this?"

"I heard that Ise Jingu just locked him in his cell. Are you planning to cover him up?"

The two people grabbed Kuroda Makoto and had no intention of letting her leave.

"This. Get out of your way."

Kuroda Makoto was a little troubled, but she was not tough and could not escape the pursuit of these people.

"Your Ise Shrine has had incidents involving monsters and monsters in the past in order to compete for the position of the Young Palace Secretary. Does this mean that the existence of the spirit slayer is far more dangerous than everyone realizes?"

"Does this incident mean that the inheritance mechanism of traditional shrines such as Ise Jingu Shrine is outdated and that a more democratic and open method should be used to select successors?"

Seeing Kuroda Makoto being stopped, more reporters ran over.

For a moment, the little witch was surrounded and found it difficult to escape.

"Step aside."

Kuroda Jun shouted, but his voice was quickly drowned in the noise of reporters.

The guards also rushed over and tried to keep the reporters away.

The scene fell into chaos for a time.

"Qiao Sang, won't you help me?"

Kitashirakawa Rika asked.

"Well, it's true that if this continues, we won't be able to complete today's work."

Qiao Qiao thought for a while, then subconsciously touched his arms, wanting to take out his pistol and fire a warning shot.

However, nothing was touched.

"? Qiao Sang, what are you doing?"

Kitashirakawa Rika was a little confused.

"Occupational habits."

Qiao Qiao replied that he could only move forward.

Relying on his physical strength, he quickly squeezed into the group of reporters and came to Kuroda Makoto's side.

"Qiao Sang?"

Kuroda Makoto looked like she was about to cry. When she saw Qiao Qiao, she immediately hid behind him.

"Priest, do you have any information to provide?"

A reporter saw Qiao Qiao and turned the microphone to him.

Several people saw Qiao Qiao coming over on his own initiative and looked over.

Qiao Qiao faced the cameras and cameras, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke.

"You reporters, don't just listen to the wind and rain. You always want to make big news."
