I directed the mythical revival in Tokyo

Chapter 121 The Target is Kyoto

Nara Prefecture

"Yamato, how about we go to the ramen restaurant next door to try something new?" A dark-skinned girl who was walking on the path suggested to her best friend beside her.

However, Yamato just dealt with it absentmindedly.

"Tsk tsk tsk." The dark-skinned girl curled up a gossipy smile at the corner of her mouth. She then quickened her pace and suddenly lowered her head, trying to peek at Yamato's facial expression from below.

But as soon as she lowered her head, she suddenly noticed a dark shadow flashing on the stone steps beside her.

This sudden figure made her slightly startled, and her steps also stopped. For some reason, she felt an inexplicable chill.

Could it be a monster? After all, anyone who pays attention on the Internet can see the changes in the world.

"boom!"

Due to the sudden stop of the dark-skinned girl, she accidentally bumped into Yamato.

Yamato felt the obstruction in front of his body and instantly came to his senses, forgetting all his previous worries.

"What's wrong?" Yamato asked.

The dark-skinned girl quickly came to her senses and forced a smile at her best friend.

"Nothing, probably just an illusion! Why don't we go back to Tokyo? It feels so weird here!"

"You seem so weird lately!"

"How dare you say that to me? Hehe! Watch out!"

……

The black figure floated above the ground, slowly moving towards the target of this operation.

Previously, at Hokke-ji Temple, he had attempted to wipe out the bloodline of the Fujiwara family. Unfortunately, the parasitic soul he released as bait accidentally revealed that the Fujiwara family had deployed so many "water-based" Onmyoji around Hokke-ji Temple!

Based on his deep understanding of his own strength, if he confronts it head-on, it will probably end up in a lose-lose situation.

He recalled that a large number of parasitic souls were sealed in the backyard of the family's ancestral home.

As long as he releases these parasitic souls, he will gain enough power to take revenge on the Fujiwara family.

Walking on the rugged mountain road, wherever the black figure passed, a trail of black embers was left on the ground, and the surrounding flowers and plants instantly turned yellow, as if they were swallowed by his breath.

"huhuhuhu"

The cool autumn breeze swept in, and the branches rustled in the wind, adding a bit of desolation to the quiet mountain road.

A black figure floated in the air, looking down at the mountain.

All he saw was a magnificent palace surrounded by a tight fence, and his eyes revealed a hint of nostalgia and complex emotions.

According to his memory, his life started here, but also ended here!
"It's all the Fujiwara clan's fault!"

"It's time for them to atone for their sins!"

The black figure's eyes were empty and there seemed to be flames spinning on his face, giving off a strange aura.

He slowly turned his gaze to the side and saw a shrine standing there quietly.

Without the slightest hesitation, the black figure waved his arm, and in an instant, black flames pounced on the shrine like a ferocious beast and devoured it.

"raging!"

The summoned flames devoured the shrine frantically. After a moment, the shrine's appearance had disappeared, leaving only a pile of ashes.

The black figure waved his hand again, and the ashes on the ground flew everywhere, until only a black pottery jar was left standing alone.

He stretched out his hands woven from black flames and instantly opened the pottery jar.

Inside the pottery jar, there are a large number of tadpole-shaped souls, and they seem to be struggling to escape from this small space.

Seeing the little creature constantly surging in the pottery jar, the black figure's motionless face instantly sank, as if revealing a strange smile.

Then he waved his hand to the side, and flames swept across the entire forest, starting to burn fiercely.

Under the firelight, the black figure stared intently at the souls that continued to surge out of the clay jar.

These souls flew towards the flames, and after finding the flames, they quickly occupied them, forming fire monsters of various shapes.

The moment these fire monsters regained consciousness, they began to continuously absorb nutrients from the flames burning nearby, and their bodies grew rapidly.

Looking at the fire monster flying in front of him, the black figure stretched out his hands as if to embrace the whole world.

The dull sound echoed through the jungle.

"Come on, eat more! My army!"

……

Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau
Minister Miki rested his hand on his chin and stared at the screen in front of him with a serious expression.

On the screen, a large number of people's portraits were flashing, indicating that they had entered the meeting one after another.

Among them, members of Nara Prefecture’s major official organizations were all present.

"Nara police and fire departments have been fully deployed, and key areas such as the former site of the Imperial Palace are also fully prepared and can be deployed at any time!" "Local residents have been completely evacuated, and all fire-fighting materials have been mobilized!"

"very good!"

Minister Miki listened with satisfaction to the news that the deployment had been completed.

When he learned that the ghost of Prince Nagaya had gone to Nara, he reported to his superiors and fully agreed that the current defense circle in Nara would be commanded by the leader of the Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau, and all regional departments would need to cooperate in its implementation.

Only when rights and responsibilities are consistent can such a perfect response layout be achieved!

"I believe that the longhouse king certainly didn't expect that with the current advanced technology, it only takes a moment to contact the local officials and make arrangements in advance!"

Minister Miki clenched his hands into fists, as if everything was in his hands, his eyes full of confidence.

"This operation is foolproof!"

"Ding Ding Ding"

Minister Miki's brows suddenly frowned, his eyes quickly swept to the emergency phone next to him, and he picked up the call almost instantly.

However, the report from the phone made his expression change instantly.

"Minister Miki, the ghost of the Lord of the House is heading towards Kyoto with a large number of fire monsters that appeared in Hokke-ji Temple that day!!!"

"Minister Miki, please note that the enemy's target seems to be Kyoto, not Nara Prefecture!"

With a "click", the call was hung up, but Minister Miki's heart was filled with huge waves.

You know, Kyoto is not only Japan's premier economic region, but also its spiritual home.

In the long history of Japan, Kyoto has the title of a thousand-year-old capital and its status is unparalleled.

More importantly, there are countless legends about monsters in Kyoto.

If the purpose of the vengeful spirit of Nagaya Ou is to conceal the truth and release the monster hidden in Kyoto, the consequences will be disastrous.

Hiss!

Thinking of this, Minister Miki's headache suddenly recurred. With a sharp pain, he immediately took out medicine from the drawer beside him, swallowed it in one gulp, then leaned back and tried to calm down.

When the assistant at the side saw Minister Miki's condition, he immediately stood up and wanted to offer help, but Minister Miki raised his hand to stop him.

"No, it's more than that. Even if only one big monster is released, it will be a major disaster enough to destroy Kyoto!" Minister Miki said in a heavy tone.

The legendary Ryomen Sukuna was already so powerful that he couldn't imagine how terrifying the legendary Night Parade of a Hundred Demons in Kyoto was.

You should know that all the monsters in the Kyoto area are famous and have high stats.

Tamamonomae, Shuten-doji...

Minister Miki shuddered at the mere thought of these names.

Most importantly, they still don't know the real purpose of the ghost of the Longhouse King.

Since the other party wanted to take revenge on the Fujiwara clan, why didn't they go to Tokyo, where the Fujiwara clan was located, or the Fujiwara ancestral home in Nara Prefecture? Instead, why did they choose to go to Kyoto?
pat!

The priest suddenly put his hand on Minister Miki's shoulder, and this sudden action made Minister Miki calm down a little.

Unlike Minister Miki, the priest's expression remained calm.

Although the moment he heard the word "Kyoto" just now, he did begin to panic about the legend of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, just like Minister Miki.

But the moment he calmed down, a piece of little-known knowledge suddenly flashed through his mind, connecting everything together.

"I have figured it all out!" the priest said firmly.

"Minister Miki, the purpose of the Nagaya King's vengeful spirit is consistent with what we think, that is, to move towards the main residence of the Fujiwara family."

“But we overlooked one thing!”

The priest looked at the conference screen, which had become as quiet as if holding its breath, and slowly revealed his answer.

"At the beginning, Nagaya King specifically attacked Fujiwara Takeshi at Hokke-ji Temple. We naturally thought that the other party knew the direction of the Fujiwara family's bloodline, so we ambushed our forces at the Fujiwara family's headquarters in Tokyo."

"Afterwards, the other party appeared in Nara Prefecture. We just thought that the other party would choose to go to the Fujiwara family's ancestral home in Nara Prefecture."

"But we have always overlooked one thing." The priest's face became solemn, "That is, in the memory of the Nagaya prince before his death, the ancestral home of the Fujiwara family was not in Nara Prefecture, but in Ohara!"

When he heard the word "Ohara", the eyes of the Minister of the Three Departments lit up instantly, and he seemed to have realized the answer that the priest was going to give next.

"The surname Fujiwara actually comes from a place name. It refers to an area in the southern part of the Nara Basin, adjacent to the northwest of Asuka, also known as Ohara. This is also the ancestral land given to Fujiwara no Fuhito's father, Fujiwara no Kamata."

The priest explained slowly, his eyes sweeping over the people around him, revealing follow-up information.

"We have always believed that the Fujiwara clan's ancestral homeland is Nara Prefecture as the public imagines it, but in fact, this is a misunderstanding caused by historical changes and the result of succession after the death of Prince Nagaya!" The priest's tone became solemn, "The ancestral homeland in Prince Nagaya's memory is still Ohara!"

At this time, the head portrait of the administrative chief of Nara Prefecture began to flash continuously in the meeting column, and his voice rang out from the screen: "Ohara did belong to Nara Prefecture in history, but it was later divided into Kyoto in the course of historical evolution!"

Minister Miki's eyes lit up, he sorted out everything in an instant and immediately gave orders.

"Contact the highest administrative officer of the Ohara region immediately, and contact the regions around Kyoto at the same time, and dispatch troops and mobilize supplies to Ohara immediately!"

"The enemy is in Kyoto Ohara!"
