I directed the mythical revival in Tokyo

Chapter 118: Longhouse King

"Captain, it's only a side building of the Fahua Temple that's on fire. Is it necessary for us to send ten fire trucks to the scene?"

Inside the fire truck cabin, a young firefighter looked back through the window and saw a line of fire trucks connected like a long snake, with the tail lights one after another moving forward.

He couldn't help but ask the squad leader who was resting with his eyes closed next to him.

When the squad leader heard the question, he became furious and slapped the team member's helmet.

"Idiot, of course I know! But that's Hokke-ji Temple! The ancestral home of the Fujiwara family!"

"Even though it's just a remote temple, I doubt the monks inside the temple could have put out the fire before we arrived, but the point is the attitude we want to show."

"This is a rare opportunity to show goodwill to the Fujiwara family. Do you still want to make progress?"

"Wait, we're already here!"

After saying that, the captain patted the team member next to him, and then quickly commanded the fire truck to stop.

When the firefighters got out of the car, one of them accidentally bumped into the captain's back because he didn't notice that the captain suddenly stopped.

"Captain, why did you stop suddenly?"

Then, the firefighters instantly realized why the captain stopped.

He looked towards the Fahua Temple and saw a fire monster in the corner constantly swallowing wood and trees into its mouth.

The fire monster suddenly turned around, as if it had discovered a new target, and cast its gaze towards the fire truck outside the temple.

Then, it opened its mouth and blew its mouth, as if it was mocking everyone.

"Captain, we should..."

"I I I..."

Seeing this scene for the first time, the captain was a little at a loss.

With the government's tacit approval, most people would be aware of the extraordinary changes in the world at this time. However, he did not expect that he would encounter the legendary monster during his mission.

But realizing his identity, the captain gritted his teeth and put his hands on the fire-fighting equipment.

"Even if it's a fire monster, it's just fire! Everyone, get ready for action!"

The fire monster was perched on top of the side temple, constantly corroding the wood of the temple from below.

On the other side, its "hands" burned the base of the trees like pulling mushrooms, and then stuffed them into its mouth.

"Sisi..."

Suddenly, a large amount of water sprayed on it, emitting dense white smoke.

What followed was a large amount of foamy liquid, covering the body of the fire monster.

In addition to tank fire trucks that carry large amounts of water for ordinary firefighting work, there are also special foam fire trucks.

This fire truck mixes foam liquid with water to produce a large number of bubbles, thereby covering the flames and isolating the air. It is particularly suitable for special fire scenes.

There are also dry powder fire trucks, but these are generally used in electrical fires and other situations where power needs to be cut off quickly. Therefore, after learning that the fire broke out in a temple, no dry powder fire truck was specially dispatched.

The flame monster seemed to feel pain, and its body became slightly lighter. Seeing that the attack was effective, the fire chief's face instantly brightened, and he shouted an order.

"Turn the switch all the way up and continue!"

brush!
The firefighters acted quickly and foamy liquid sprayed out like a waterfall.

Although unconscious, the fire monster is still aware of the attacker's presence.

It opened its mouth instantly and a ball of blazing flames shot towards the fire truck.

raging!

The flames quickly covered the entire fire truck without warning.

Fortunately, the fire truck was the one facing the firefighters nearby, who quickly sprayed foam on the fire truck before the flames spread.

The foamy liquid continued to spray out, and the fire monster was beaten back step by step.

The priest at the side put down the bucket in his hand slightly, realizing that his actions were of little help at this moment.

His weak body couldn't even spread the water on the roof. Thinking of this, he leaned on a pillar and began to observe the fire monster carefully while resting.

The fire monster seemed to be weakened as its flames weakened.

Due to the light brought by the flames, the priest was able to spot a red transparent figure, which was taking advantage of the opportunity to float away in an attempt to escape from the flames.

However, after the figure left the flames, it instantly disappeared without a trace as soon as it came into contact with the sun's light.

"Is that a parasitic soul?"

The priest muttered to himself. He still had some impression of this remote and niche little monster.

According to legend, this monster has no entity and looks like a light red spirit, but it can possess other substances, which is somewhat similar to the Tsukumogami. However, the Tsukumogami develops intelligence due to the accumulation of time, while the parasitic soul directly possesses the body.

"It's very likely so. After all, compared to other monsters, this fire monster is really weaker. It seems that some dirty thing came out of nowhere and attracted this guy!"

The priest made a quick judgment. Although he had preliminarily confirmed the identity of the monster, he still decided to go back and check the information and consider it carefully.

Thinking of this, the priest rubbed his brows and sighed: "It's getting more and more chaotic!"

He turned to look at the monks who were helping to move items in the temple, and felt a little relieved.

Fortunately, the fire did not spread to the study, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look back towards the study.

Suddenly, a black figure flashed by, making the priest's heart tighten.

……

In the study, Fujiwara Takeshi, wearing a heavy robe, was flipping through a book on military history.

Although he had heard a little about the fire outside, the arrival of the fire truck quickly brought his attention back to the book and continued to immerse himself in his memories.

The Fujiwara family's prominent status enabled him to be quickly promoted after joining the army, and he retired as a senior general after participating in a controversial anti-humanity action decades ago.

As he flipped through the book, he nodded slowly, a satisfied look on his face, and murmured to himself: "When I was young..."

"what!"

Suddenly, Fujiwara Takeshi felt a burning sensation on his back, and then the flames quickly spread throughout his body.

However, the temperature of the flame was not unbearable, but to him it was like a mosquito gnawing at his bones, constantly biting his skin.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Fujiwara Takeshi fell to the ground in pain, rolling and struggling. In panic, he caught a glimpse of a black figure standing beside him, with no organs on his face, only pure darkness.

"who are you?"

"Fujiwara...atonement..."

……

The priest had just stepped into the house and was about to look for the black figure, but suddenly he discovered that a strange blue flame began to spread on the second floor of the study.

This sudden change made him panic.

He immediately turned around, hurriedly left the study, and walked quickly towards the yard.

The moment he looked back, a raging flame suddenly broke out, engulfing the entire study.

"Yes, there's a fire here again! Come over here quickly!"

"Oh no! Master Fujiwara Takeshi is still upstairs!"

Just as everyone was panicking, a black figure carrying a limp corpse passed through the roof of the attic and floated in the air.

He glanced down at everyone, then smashed the body hard to the ground.

boom!
When everyone looked closely, they saw that it was Fujiwara Takeshi who died with his eyes open.

"Not good! Master Fujiwara Takeshi!"

"It's that black shadow!" a sharp female voice trembled.

Everyone quickly looked up at the attic, only to see the black figure instantly turn into a wisp of smoke and disappear into the air.

It rains all night when the roof is leaking.

Just as they were about to go forward to check on Fujiwara Takeshi's situation, a female monk hurried over, shouting breathlessly.

"Hurry... hurry! The stone tablet... the stone tablet is cracked!"

Stone tablet? Where did the stone tablet of Fahua Temple come from?

Wait! Could it be?

The priest was startled and immediately followed the female monk to the backyard.

In front of a temple that was locked by a large number of iron chains, there was a stone tablet at the entrance of the temple, but it was already cracked.

When the priest saw the contents on the stone tablet, his scalp tingled and he looked towards the place where the black figure disappeared with a complicated expression.
