The situation told by Kitashirakawa was very serious, so...it was useless to worry. Taiyi and the others decided to listen to the gossip for a while before setting off to remove spirits.
"That priest Houzi... where was he attacked? And how was he attacked? Please explain the process in detail!" Tai's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth formed a playful smile, and he asked with deep meaning.
Taiyi looked at Kitashirakawa with eyes that any man can understand, and he was very sure in his heart: "Kitashirakawa will definitely tell me something that will interest me. After all, he is from Japan, and his color skills are thousands of times better than Hela's. Moreover, No matter which blue star-like planet it is in, Japan’s color industry ranks among the top two of all countries in the world, on par with Citi!”
"How was Her Highness Atsuko attacked?" Kitashirakawa didn't quite understand why Taiyi was interested in the priest. "She was hit by a supernatural force while praying in the Emperor's Shrine and fell outside the palace. Her arms and calves were fractured and she is still in a coma. Not awake."
Kodaijingu Shrine is the inner main palace of Ise Jingu (Ise Jingu is divided into two major building complexes, the inner palace and the outer palace. The inner palace has 1 main palace and 10 annexes, and the outer palace has 1 main palace and annexes. 4), which is dedicated to Amaterasu. Only the priest, Mi Yi (senior-level clergy), Quan Mi-yi (mid-level clergy) who are directly subordinate to the priest, Sasu's ministers, and representatives of the Japanese royal family responsible for worship can enter.
Kitashirakawa said while observing Taiyi's face. When he noticed that Taiyi showed dissatisfaction, he immediately defended: "It's not that we didn't treat him well, it's because His Highness Atsuko is too old..."
Taiyi raised his hand and interrupted Kitashirakawa, "What does it mean to be older?"
"This..." Kitashirakawa got stuck again - Atsuko is the fourth princess of Emperor Hirohito, and she is 85 years old this year (the time in the Onmyoji Adventure realm has reached 2015)! At such an old age, let alone being hit by the force of a speeding car, even a casual fall could be fatal.
After a period of silence, Kitashirakawa asked cautiously: "Doesn't the Master know the age of His Highness Atsuko?"
In Japan, people who know how to remove spirits are called mage - whether they are onmyojis, monks, or other professions, they are all called mage.
Kitashirakawa was a little at a loss: Atsuko, the priest of Ise Shrine, is too old. In the past two years, the Japanese royal family and the Japanese government have been discussing who to choose as the new priest. Various news spread a lot, which is what all Japanese people are most concerned about. One of the news is that people from OAA Group don’t know...are they Japanese?
Taiyi: Sorry, I am the supreme god in the outer world.
Satan Hela: Sorry: I am the Supreme God of the Void Zone.
Ainuzi: Sorry, although I am related to Japan, I am not a human, but a god, and I am the supreme god of Japan!
"Now that Houzi is older, she is a miko..." Taiyang said with a sad tone, "she is no longer a miko, she should be called: witch!"
"Your Highness Atsuko is not a shrine maiden, but a priest." Kitashirakawa emphasized in a low voice. Unfortunately, he did not dare to express his opinions loudly in front of Taiyi's oppressive momentum. At the same time, he exclaimed in his heart: As expected of a true Mage, just the invisible pressure makes me breathless!
"As a witch, it doesn't matter whether you save him or not." Taichi continued to say words that made Kitashirakawa's whole body and head hurt.
"Although His Highness Atsuko cannot meet secular people, we have the best medical team in the shrine, which will definitely not delay her treatment." Kitashirakawa had to refute - according to Taichi's description, wouldn't Ise Shrine be a success? A place where human life is disregarded! What's more, this time it's the princess' life that's at stake!
Even if Kitashirakawa also belongs to the royal family, he cannot bear such a big and heavy responsibility.
"It doesn't matter, let's go to that shrine to see what kind of supernatural being is causing trouble." Taichi likes witches and is not interested in witches. Now that the witch is gone, his mind returns to completing the task.
"I have prepared transportation, all mages, please." When Kitashirakawa heard that Taiyi was willing to set off, he breathed a sigh of relief: Someone has taken over this ghost pot!
The means of transportation that Kitashirakawa mentioned was a Bentley extended limousine. There were 10 seats in the carriage, so Taichi, the three of them and Kitashirakawa could all lie down in it!
Of course, Kitashirakawa will not lie down. He will sit upright on a chair anywhere and at any time.
Among Taichi and the other three, Ainuko will assume the posture of Yamato Nadeshiko when there are outsiders. Taichi and Satan Hela...are half lying and half paralyzed!
After the limousine drove for half an hour, Taiyi felt a little bored. He yawned and asked, "Aren't we here yet? Isn't the shrine too remote?"
"President, we haven't left the Eastern Capital City yet." Kitashirakawa was stuck again - the president of OAA Group, how come he doesn't even know where Ise Jingu Shrine is!
"Ise Jingu Shrine is in Ise City, Mie Prefecture, nearly 500 kilometers away from the Eastern Capital City." Kitashirakawa explained in a low voice.
"Ah?" Taiyi was dumbfounded, "So far? Why not fly over?"
"You can't fly, it's dangerous!" Kitashirakawa stopped him with fear on his face.
According to Kitashirakawa, everyone associated with Ise Jingu is cursed, including security personnel.
"After the situation became serious, some Self-Defense Forces wanted to go out in a helicopter to ask for help. As a result..." Kitashirakawa said tremblingly: "The helicopter was crushed into a ball of scrap metal in mid-air!"
"Where are the people inside?" Taiyi asked as if listening to a story.
"It's all crushed into meat paste." Even if he just described the previous scene, Kitashirakawa was covered in cold sweat, which showed how frightened he was at that time.
"Still a fierce supernatural being." Satan Hela commented plainly - Meat Sauce is nothing, it is completely incomparable with the "cutie" in the Void Zone. The living creatures there are countless times more disgusting than Meat Sauce!
"Since the supernatural incident started, I have been running around asking for help from mages in other shrines and temples, but in the end..." Kitashirakawa said with both fear and disappointment: "Some were injured by the supernatural, and some even died. Due to the invisible attack of the supernatural, all the sects in Japan are powerless to deal with our situation, so the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology recommended your company to me."
"Why didn't you recommend it earlier?" Taiyi asked curiously.
Kitashirakawa hesitated for a moment, but Taichi's close gaze forced him to tell the truth: "Your company's asking price is too high!"
Taiyi’s question mark face: What do we want? There was no money discussion at all on this mission, right? Besides, money in one field is of no use to us.
"If it were money, it would be easier. Ise Jingu is one of the best shrines in the world, let alone Japan!" When talking about Ise Jingu, Kitashirakawa's "national pride" came back, " The Japanese government and major Japanese financial groups will rush to bear the expenses of Ise Shrine."
Kitashirakawa looked like he was "not short of money", which made Taiyi and the others extremely envious... No, it should be without any trouble, because Taiyi and the others didn't need money at all!
"But the problem is, your company doesn't want money!" Kitashirakawa knew that Taiyi and the others didn't care about money. He said helplessly: "Every time your company solves a supernatural incident, it will take away the client's most precious thing!"
