Chapter 207

Inagawa shrine is a religious place. In order to show piety, it takes the birds at the bottom as the boundary, and avoids placing any scientific and technological products inside as far as possible. The priests and witches living here also follow the ancient system.

This undoubtedly created great difficulties for the investigation of the secret society.

When the victims were found, it was the morning of the next day. The means of evil influence on them dissipated with the passage of time. When the professionals from the secret society arrived, the remaining energy concentration could not even compare with the blood and flesh of the remaining breeding animals in the camp.

Didn't get more information from the victim in the middle of the ladder.

The three of Xu Jiu can only continue to go up.

I have to admit that the layout and construction of inagawa shrine have made great efforts. Just talking about this slope ladder, the open spaces on both sides are full of trees with great vitality. I don't know what kind of trees they are, but they actually have large pink and elegant flowers.

"If you want to create such a landscape in the downtown area, the consortium behind the inagawa shrine is more powerful than expected?"

After looking at her, she stretched out her hand and tried to pick up the static Shu of the petals floating in the wind. Xu Jiu's line of sight was wandering around.

"The Royal fox god worshipped by inagawa shrine has a large number of believers in the whole Qinghong City, and the Jinchuan consortium itself has this background. Therefore, the city government also supported the construction of this shrine, which led to this famous shrine in the whole Wusu city. Unfortunately, it was unlucky and invaded by evil."

"Is it really just bad luck?"

Stepping up the last step, Xu Jiu noticed the scene in front of the shrine. Xu Jiu crumpled the petals at his fingertips and threw them away.

Inagawa shrine is in a pin shaped layout. Xu Jiu is facing the main hall, which is dedicated to the Royal fox God, and there are side halls on the left and right. Other small halls with different functions are distributed around the three main halls.

In the center of the three main halls, a tree is planted, which is said to have been transplanted from the special area. It is somewhat similar to the banyan tree. It is lush, and the branches are covered with wooden signs tied with red silk and written with various wishes.

Around the bottom of the banyan tree, at the moment, there are more than a dozen priests and witches, each carrying equipment that should be used for ritual prayer, dressed up and posing in various postures. There are many lights around the crowd, and the candles inside are still burning.

It should have been a harmonious and beautiful picture, but now it is strange in the eyes of Xu Jiu.

Because the state as like as two peas on the previous ladder is the same.

The whole body is petrified, the head is broken and opened, the internal brain disappears without a trace, and there are even several pink and white petals in the empty body.

The terrible mutilated body is surrounded by a vibrant giant tree symbolizing a beautiful vision.

The sharp contrast between life and death is so cruel.

"What they did last night was a sacrifice held in the middle of each month at inagawa shrine. Through God dance and singing, they prayed that the fox God could continue to protect the believers."

Reopening the handheld computer, Max explained the situation here, while Xu Jiu leaned over first.

"Keeping their original movements and looking at the positions of these people, it is enough to prove that they were not aware of any danger before they died, and the method of evil invasion is obviously extremely" soft "... Petrification or hunting the brain first?"

Pacing among the victims, Xu Jiu observed their state and glanced at every detail that was easy to be ignored.

In my mind, I think about the process of causing this phenomenon.

Each evil spirit has its own characteristics, which has long been determined. However, the secret society has not received detailed information about these evil spirits, so it can only analyze them in recent investigations.

Jingling bell~

The mobile phone bell suddenly rang. Xu Jiu stepped and turned suddenly. The position of his vision was not Max who was taking out his mobile phone, but the main hall of the shrine.

"Hello, this is Max, new wood group... Something else?"

I thought it was something going on at the new wood group. After answering the phone, I found it was other affairs. Max subconsciously frowned. After all, he should be in charge of the new wood group. He was about to go on, but Xu Jiu suddenly interrupted him.

"Max, is there anyone in the main hall of the shrine?"

Xu Jiu waved to the blessing spirit between the branches of the praying tree. The light fell out of thin air and directly fell into his hand. He immediately drank and asked.

"Ah? Yes, in order to investigate the situation, we found several people who were not in the shrine last night to prepare for questioning. Just inside the main hall, the investigators of the heterodox bureau are following them on the search mission."

Seeing that Xu Jiu suddenly took out his weapon and realized that something was wrong, Max quickly replied.

The voice just fell, and Xu Jiu had disappeared in place.

Quickly rushed into the main hall of the shrine, and Xu Jiu locked his eyes on the twisted fog in front of him.

With the dull sound of the collision between the sole and the wooden cloister, Xu Jiu had no intention of knocking at the door. He flew and kicked the main door of the shrine directly, jumping into the main hall dedicated to the gods.

Several investigators from the Bureau gathered around, heard the sound at the door and looked back at Xu Jiu.

"Evil energy attack, get out of the way!"

The man whose eyes turned around these people and finally landed in the middle of the crowd immediately shouted.

The investigators of the Foreign Affairs Bureau who can be sent here to cooperate naturally know the existence of evil and its degree of terror. Xu Jiu's voice, several people who shouted, retreated and revealed the man who was half kneeling on the ground and dressed in divine official clothes.

In the psychic state, the man was churning with evil energy.

Xu Jiu flashed to the man, reached out and grabbed his collar to lift him from the ground. Just about to ask, the pupil contracted suddenly the next second.

The priest's face was full of happiness, and the corners of his mouth were full of smiles,

"Yuhu God, it's my great honor to get your favor... I'm willing to dedicate everything to you..."

At first Xu Jiu could understand a few words, but then there were some obscure spells.

At the same time, Xu Jiu quickly noticed the intensification of evil energy.

Looking down, the priest's feet began to harden, and his skin turned blue gray, which was still spreading upward.

"Don't you want to make him weird, just pure plunder?"

At the same time of confusion, a light red fog appeared in Xu Jiu's palm and injected into the body of the divine official.

He wanted to see what the devil was doing.

After the previous dream war, Xu Jiu also had a new understanding of the use of her bead energy.

Suddenly in a trance.

When the bright main hall of the shrine first fell into darkness and then lit up, the members of the surrounding heterotune bureau had disappeared.

Instead, the red leaves floating all over the sky and the melodious bell from afar gradually calmed the impetuous mood.

There was a strange hiss in my ears.

Xu Jiu suddenly raised his head and looked at the statue enshrined in the temple.

Sitting on the mahogany stage, the graceful and rich statue of the Royal fox, I don't know when it seems to be injected into life, blooming with holy light, changing from lying to standing, jumping down from the stage and pacing around the two people.

The murmur heard in Xu Jiu's mind conveyed a message he couldn't understand.

The deity in his hand had already lost his mind and just smiled back. Xu Jiu, who also faced the attack of evil energy, didn't need him to take the initiative to control. The light red fog first gushed out of his body, vaguely turned into a dog and beast, bared his teeth and roared at the fox God.

Next second.

The spirit returns to Qingming again.

Xu Jiu breathed out and let go of his hand. The divine officer was completely paralyzed. His stiffness seemed to return to normal and looked around blankly.

Maintain the spiritual state and focus on the statue of the Royal fox not far in front of you.

The evil energy has dissipated at this time, as if it had never appeared.

How did this happen?

Max and Jingshu have also come to the main hall at this time. Just now, they saw Xu Jiu fall into silence and start to frighten both of them. When the latter opened his eyes, he carefully came forward and wanted to ask about the situation. However, Xu Jiu opened his mouth before they opened their mouth.

"I know what the evil spirit values."

The line of sight turned around the investigators of the Foreign Affairs Bureau who were not affected, Xu Jiu continued,

"Faith, its goal is these believers who are extremely devout in their own beliefs!"

The process of reaching this conclusion is not complicated.

Before Xu Jiu entered the main hall, the investigators of the different investigation bureau stood with the God official who just came today. After the evil attack, only the God official was affected.

Not only that, Xu Jiu injected the round bead energy into the deity by activating it. After the deity was also affected by the evil energy, what they saw was the same.

It is needless to say what the fox God means to these gods who serve him.

Seeing the statue moving, the priest accepted the evil spirit invasion without any hesitation.

This explains why those outside did not resist or escape when they were eroded by evil, but continued to maintain the ceremony.

In their view, it is not a death threat at all, but a manifestation of God!

"According to the information just received, the same victims also appeared in another shrine in Qinghong District, but the gods enshrined in that shrine are completely different from inagawa shrine."

The phone call they received outside the shrine came from the headquarters of the secret society. After receiving the notice from the Foreign Affairs Bureau, they found that Xu Jiu and his party were nearby, so they chose to contact max. the latter contacted Xu Jiu's speculation and muttered to themselves,

"In this way, it makes sense... But why do evil spirits choose such people as their goals? It is reasonable that these people with faith should have a more stable mental state."

"Because they have a firm belief in evil, when evil becomes the place of their belief, these people will collapse much faster than ordinary people."

He casually explained that the battle could not break out and found no more evil clues. Xu Jiu glanced and saw that Max looked thoughtful. It was estimated that he had to call the secret society again, so he made a gesture to Jingshu next to her to follow him.

They left one after another. When they waited outside the door, Xu Jiu didn't plan to go far.

I found a clean place beside the corridor and sat down. The environment around inagawa shrine is really good, with the spring breeze blowing on my face mixed with the fragrance of flowers.

Xu Jiu stretched out his waist, took over the bouncing Fu Ling, and looked at Jingshu who was about to stop talking,

"If you have any questions, just ask. After asking, I have something else to ask you."

"How do you know that the target of evil is believers?"

Jing Shu still couldn't resist her curiosity and asked actively. After Xu Jiu explained roughly, she asked again,

"Why do evil spirits rob these people's brains?"

"If I know everything, it's up to you to find out what the secret society is for. I'm just a man who takes money."

The main purpose of Xu Jiu's trip is to help the secret society find out how the evil doer chooses the victim. Now that he has eyes and eyes, his work is over.

He is not a detective. When he meets a case, he wants to find out.

This is not to say that Xu Jiu is not interested in evil.

In fact, knowing that the remaining energy after the evil spirit body is sealed can complete the evolution of his extraordinary ability, Xu Jiu's urgency to seal the evil spirit is no less than that of the secret society.

However, the secret society is undoubtedly more professional than Xu Jiu in terms of means and past experience.

Let professional people do professional things. If they are too enthusiastic, they will only make the secret society doubt their motivation.

What's more, Xu Jiu is also a valuable person. If he goes to help others, how can he ask for compensation in the future?

"I've finished asking... Your Excellency said at headquarters that he wanted to ask me something?"

Jingshu looked at Xu Jiu leaning against the vermilion column with one leg on the railing. While talking, she hesitated to imitate his actions and wanted to sit on the railing.

As a result, because of the height problem, one leg got up, but the foot of the other leg couldn't touch the ground. The whole person swayed around for a while. He noticed the smile on Xu Jiu's face, reddened his face and went down to the ground, and turned to hang his head and hold the column.

She's autistic.

"You must have guessed about the four seasons special area, and I'm not ready to continue to cover it up, but next, I'll just tell you, and I hope you can keep it secret. It's just to repay the kindness I saved you before."

Xu Jiu is not a hypocritical person. After freely admitting the fact that the secret society has long concluded, he also went on to say,

"The bead is really in my hand. I'm looking for you this time just to know the information about the bead and its body... I remember what you said in the temple. Although I can't understand it, I can feel that you were talking about the evil spirit who should have the bead."

After sealing the dream weaving spider before, Xu Jiu didn't take the initiative to mention it because he was not sure whether the secret society knew his identity as a mysterious person, so he naturally didn't have the opportunity to collect relevant information.

Now the situation has changed. On the one hand, there is a problem with the existence of round beads. On the other hand, the secret society has also noticed Xu Jiu's mysterious identity in the four seasons special area.

Rather than continue to hide, it's better to take the initiative to talk.

Knowing the specific situation of Yuanzhu one day earlier, we can start thinking about how to solve this problem one day earlier.
