Chapter 239-09: Pain is Pleasure
Witnessing this comedy, the people from the Special Affairs Bureau enjoyed watching the fun, but they did not dare to laugh in front of Noguchi Takeshi, and felt uncomfortable holding back.
The Supreme Prayer Group was not so particular. Anyway, they were even mentally ill people recognized by the state, with certificates, and they just started pointing fingers at that group of people.
In the chaos, Yokoyama was hurriedly carried away by several close clergymen. The remaining members of the Spiritualist Society looked at each other in bewilderment. Without their backbone, they dared not confront the supernatural being. Who knew if the other party would just slap them in the face? It would be a miserable death, and more importantly, there would be no compensation.
Seeing this, Takeshi Noguchi gave his assistant a look, and then the assistant took a few people to follow Yokoyama to prevent him from doing anything impulsive or irrational in anger after waking up.
Just now, Noguchi did not stop Inagaki from speaking. First, he wanted to get more information, and second, it was more advantageous to choose Inagaki Miki. After all, the other party could really help, and it would be good enough if the traditional faction did not make things worse. The Metropolitan Police Department and the Self-Defense Forces complained about the Special Affairs Bureau every day, saying that they did not work hard and were justified in slacking off. In the past two years, there have been many small conflicts caused by this, forcing the Special Affairs Bureau to expand and form its own ordinary response team to avoid being controlled by others.
"That's right. I know where the tea room is. Miss Inagaki, would you like to go sit there for a while?"
"Good work."
Noguchi assigned tasks to each team and asked them to be prepared.
"How is it?" Taking advantage of the break, Noguchi found Saga and asked in a low voice.
"I can indeed feel the aura of evil. It is very faint, but very persistent, and its range covers the entire shrine. You have to step into it to feel it. I have never been here before, and I didn't expect the evil to be in our 'heart'." Saga Toshiya's ability is [Evil Spirits Repel], so he has a strong say in this regard.
"Well, prepare more demon-repelling talismans. I'm afraid there are some big issues involved here."
"I see."
Saga sighed. He could feel the talisman on his body emitting bursts of heat. It was obviously a warning to him.
The group walked towards the tea room. The remaining clergy reluctantly pushed forward a person who was relatively capable of taking charge, and took them to a room that had been prepared in advance. They then arranged for someone to bring in the prepared snacks and serve tea.
Then for the following conversation, they were not eligible to reserve seats. Only Noguchi, Inagaki and Saga were in the room, and everyone else had their tasks assigned.
"If Miss Inagaki is sure that the Soul Summoning Society has been contaminated by the Mother Goddess, what means will she use to eliminate it? I will have people make more precautionary preparations and see if it is necessary to block off this block to avoid any casualties."
Noguchi was not very good at tea art, and he knew that Inagaki would not mind it, so he picked up the expensive tea leaves and tea sets on the table, boiled them repeatedly with boiling water several times, and then he was done. He brewed a few cups of tea that was neither too strong nor too weak, which made Saga, who had a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, speechless.
"I can't do anything." Inagaki Miki took a sip of tea, and was as honest as ever during the conversation. "The Supreme only gave me the corresponding inspiration. I know what to do is right, but there are some things that are not easy for me to do. Therefore, I need your help, and even the help of the extraordinary people in the world."
"The whole world?" Noguchi repeated this sentence, his expression becoming more and more solemn.
Since the first day he dealt with Miki Inagaki, he liked this kind of person who didn't keep secrets and said what she thought. He felt that she was a bit like himself, but now, he understood how others felt when they were with him.
There is a feeling of suffocation.
"The Supreme is unwilling to personally interfere in the human world. There are some guesses that I cannot reveal, but please remember that there is a moon that is pure evil. It calls itself the Mother Goddess and tries to pollute the earth, but the Supreme has limited its pollution to Japan. Tokyo is the front line of the confrontation, where all sins are nutrients for the evil."
What Inagaki said now is actually just one of the many speculations of the Special Affairs Bureau, and it is the one with a higher degree of recognition. But after all, it depends on who says it. As the Supreme Saint, when these words come out of her mouth, the credibility rises sharply.
"According to this argument, Moon Initiator is the highest grace?" Noguchi extended his speculation based on Inagaki's words.
"Moon Initiator, I don't know." Inagaki Miki shook her head, "But I agree with your statement."
"No wonder the pollution incidents and the Moon Awakeners are concentrated in Japan, especially Tokyo. I think if I can make a call as the Supreme Saint, Ms. Inagaki, most of the supernatural factions that abide by the order will be willing to assist."
"hope so."
Inagaki is not a person who likes to chat. If it is not important, she would rather pray or exercise her abilities than say anything more.
They sat there until almost eleven o'clock when someone knocked on the door.
Saga opened the door and saw Miyaji Sakata with a smile on his face.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't expect that old guy Yokoyama is so ignorant of etiquette at his age. He offended the famous Supreme Saint and caused a lot of trouble to the Special Affairs Bureau. It's my fault. I should have come out to receive him in person." Sakata Miyaji's words were sharp but his smile was so sincere. If it were someone else, he would only suspect that he was being too suspicious.
But Noguchi and Inagaki were not such people. They were too lazy to speculate and just assumed that he was the one, without any waves in their hearts. If she really held a grudge, Inagaki would have rolled Yokoyama into a basketball ball in the parking lot. Anyway, who would be willing to cause trouble for her over a dead person, especially a person who barely had a little status among ordinary people?
There's no need to even bother to save face by saying I don't eat beef. I want you to die, so you'd better explain the division of your inheritance while you can still speak.
"Director Noguchi, please arrange for people to prepare for these three places: the main hall, the entrance to the Sanji Hall, and the Divine Gate."
"Well, Saga, these three places just happen to form a triangle. The command of the rest of the team is left to you. Arrange countermeasures and maintain communication."
"Yes."
Miyaji Sakata's smile was stiff, and the sweat that had finally dried after changing his clothes began to flow again.
Listening to this arrangement, it seems that things are really not going well.
"My Lords, this..."
"Priest Sakata, please arrange for the clergy to leave the Soul Summoning Society. No one is allowed to enter without the notification of the Special Affairs Bureau. Also, after you have arranged for them, please come to the Soul Summoning Hall. We need someone who is most familiar with the situation of the Soul Summoning Society."
"I am. I understand."
After the notice was issued, Noguchi blocked the nearby streets just in case.
Several countermeasure teams on standby received the order and were fully armed with real guns and bullets. According to the electronic rehearsal, they drove several extraordinary combat base vehicles to block the intersection, deployed radar and attack modules, and provided various support for the operation. The Special Affairs Bureau headquarters not far away directly entered a state of combat readiness and was ready for battle.
The Special Affairs Bureau is now very proficient in this series of operations.
Nearby vehicle radio stations and public loudspeakers were forced to switch to extraordinary warning broadcasts, and the public also wisely stayed away from the place, except for some fearless people and extraordinary live broadcasters.
The so-called extraordinary live broadcasters are those who follow extraordinary events through various channels, and try their best to be present wherever extraordinary events appear, providing the people of the world with wonderful and realistic extraordinary battle scenes, and earning some popularity and money by the way.
"How dare an evil demon defile our holy land! Gentlemen, now is the time to serve our country - Hey, hey! Come back!"
At the door, a young man in an old military uniform looked at the Special Affairs Bureau personnel appearing everywhere, and realized that the evil spirits dared to disturb the heroic spirits of the Soul Calling Society. He was furious, and was about to call on all the wise men to rush in and be loyal to the country, but he didn't expect that the accomplices behind him were completely weak. Their legs went weak when they saw the people from the Special Affairs Bureau, but they ran faster than anyone else.
"Don't drop the flag, you bastard!"
Seeing the approaching Special Affairs Bureau personnel, the young man gritted his teeth, picked up the military flag that had been stepped on several times, patted it with heartache, and chased after his fleeing accomplice, cursing as he ran.
"The main entrance is clear."
"The south gate is sealed."
"The passage has been cleared of traffic and has been blocked."
"The clergy have been confirmed by the priest Sakata, and the number is correct. They have been placed near the martial arts hall."
"At the entrance to the main hall, the Tashiro squad has completed its deployment."
"Sanjidian, the Fengchuan team has been deployed."
"Shinmon area, Saga countermeasures team has been deployed."
Noguchi Takeshi, who had already arrived at the Soul-Calling Temple, received reports from his subordinates one after another. He looked at the Supreme Prayer Group sitting in the middle of the open space, which seemed to form an unknown pattern, and waited quietly for time to pass.
While he was waiting, Miyaji Sakata came back. He no longer had the bright smile he had when they first met, and all that was left was a bitter smile. Especially when he wanted Yokoyama, who had already woken up, to replace him to assist the Special Affairs Bureau, Yokoyama actually covered his right chest, rolled his eyes, and fell down again with a whine.
I am already several decades old, is it still fun to play this? !
If we really want to perform, wouldn’t I be better than you?
In the end, he asked a priest who looked younger and stronger to accompany him so that he could help him when the time came.
"Don't be too nervous, we will do our best to protect your safety." Noguchi comforted indifferently.
Sakata wiped the sweat off his face and smiled out of habit. Just as he was about to say something polite, he was interrupted by Noguchi's next words.
"Unless you can't take care of it."
"." Sakata twitched the corners of his mouth and couldn't laugh anymore.
Noguchi’s ability to comfort people is as sharp as ever.
As time passed, more and more fearless onlookers gathered outside the blockade area. Several familiar extraordinary live broadcasters occupied their respective camera positions and greeted each other.
"A few levels?"
"I guess it's above level 3, most likely level 4."
"It seems that the incident has not happened yet. It should be under control."
"I heard that the Moon Filth have little combat power during the day?"
"Hey, I just got information that people from the Supreme Prayer Group are also in there."
"Wow, I hope the scene is bigger. I want to reach 100,000 fans."
"Did you hear that, friends? Yabai, the world is getting worse and worse. Once you encounter something like this, even ordinary insurance won't be able to reimburse you - but it doesn't matter! Youzhu Extraordinary Insurance will help you and your family have a way out. For the first time, we are launching 10% insurance! This means that even if you are crushed into a pulp, as long as % of your body tissue can be used to identify DNA, we will recognize that you died in an extraordinary event and will no longer treat you as missing. Are you tempted? Act quickly! This is the link."
Hidden in the crowd, Yumi Takashima shook her head. This world had gone so crazy that she couldn't understand it anymore.
However, she doesn't have much right to criticize others.
"Section Chief, [Jun], I'll leave Ning in your care."
Takashima turned and left. Next, she would go to Nan'ao, which is known as one of the only two pure lands outside the extraordinary world. It was heard that there have been extraordinary legends there recently, which might be related to Shirai Anko.
Noon has arrived.
In the soul-calling hall, Miki Inagaki, who was sitting in the center, stopped praying and looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky.
"All troops, pay attention and increase your vigilance," Takeshi Noguchi warned on the communication channel.
“Received.” All parties replied.
Even though Sakata was hiding under the eaves, he could still feel the scorching sun, making him feel anxious.
Inagaki slowly floated in the air. Instead of continuing to look directly at the sun, he closed his eyes and raised his right hand, as if trying to pull something.
".In the name of the Most High, let the divine light converge here, and all evil will be exposed."
"It's dark now?"
"It's so bright, I can't open my eyes."
Today, the whole of Tokyo was almost cloudless, but at the same time, the brightness seemed to be dimmed by an unknown entity outside the fourth wall, and it quickly became dim. However, it was not so gloomy that it would last until the evening, and was about the same as an ordinary cloudy day.
The Tokyo Shrine in the center is just the opposite. The sunlight is like a searchlight, shining brightly on the entire shrine, dazzling and eye-catching.
Under the light, Inagaki only felt his strength rapidly dissipating and his face became paler and paler. This kind of great power of heaven and earth, even with the supreme grace, could not be sustained for long.
"break!"
The beam of light exploded instantly, the light swept across, and Tokyo became bright again.
Everyone in the Spiritual Calling Society could clearly hear the sound just now, as if something was breaking.
It does not exist physically, but resonates among the souls of everyone.
"Ho ho, they are coming." Inagaki Mi looked towards the main palace hopefully.
"Tashiro reports, something unusual has been discovered!"
The main hall entrance.
A crack like broken glass appeared out of thin air in the center of the hall courtyard, abrupt and weird. In an instant, a pair of hands covered with black sticky liquid suddenly broke through the space, revealing the true face hidden inside.
This strange thing looks like a large baby, with black "amniotic fluid" constantly flowing through its body. It floats in the air, with its facial features completely dislocated, its eyes one in front and one behind, its left hand on the upper jaw and its right hand on the lower jaw. When put together, it forms a complete strange mouth.
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
The strange baby suddenly started howling. The sound was extremely sharp and unpleasant, like the friction between glass and stainless steel and a blackboard. Even an extraordinary person could not help but feel a little panicked.
"Jingquan!"
Jingquan jumped up. Monster, the stronger the monster, the more excited she was!
"stop!"
The strange baby froze, but only for less than half a second. Then it suddenly looked towards the well. The solidified time and space around it shattered, and an even more disgusting cry came out of its mouth.
"It's so crowded! It's so crowded!"
"inverse!"
“Woo—ah!”
The strange baby's body twisted, sometimes getting bigger and sometimes getting smaller.
Others immediately seized the opportunity and attacked from a long distance.
The strange baby screamed in pain, broke free from Jingquan's control again, and flew towards her.
Jingquan rubbed the edge of its "hand and mouth" and disappeared on the spot. The next moment, he appeared behind it and stabbed its eyeball at the back of its head.
"It hurts! It hurts!"
"It's good that it hurts." Jingquan's eyes were fiery.
"It hurts even more!"
