Chapter 161 Report Meeting and the Old Man in Monk's Clothes
"That's what happened with the Penglai Fairy Island incident. This is the end of my report!"

Minister Miki slowly put down the remote control in his hand, and the screen that everyone was watching turned off.

Everyone present exchanged glances, and then a man with a mustache slowly opened his mouth.

"According to Minister Miki's description, there is a high possibility that the legendary elixir of immortality exists on Penglai Fairy Island."

Minister Miki nodded slightly and responded.

"That's true. Mr. Takasaka and Mr. Kondo from our Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau once went to the island to explore together."

"Unfortunately, when Mr. Kondo was about to obtain the spring water containing the ingredients of the elixir of immortality, he was obstructed by the guardian of the island and was knocked off the cliff."

"Acquisition failed."

Hearing this, a man with a mustache shook his head slightly, leaned back slightly, and couldn't help but sigh.

"What a pity. If we could obtain a potion containing the ingredients of the Penglai Immortal Medicine, it would undoubtedly bring great benefits to mankind."

Following the mustache man's answer, Minister Miki couldn't help but secretly complain.

[Benefiting mankind? I'm afraid it will benefit you more. ]

"In addition, we are still unable to confirm the identity of the mysterious figure that appeared at the end. Judging from his clothing, he is obviously not a mythological figure unique to Japan."

As soon as Minister Miki finished speaking, the urgent voice of a bald man suddenly came from the lower left corner of the conference table, accompanied by the sound of "da da da".

"According to satellite images, the island has most likely been completely taken away by the armored man. In fact, the matter has been settled."

"So, can we just end this topic here?"

As soon as the bald man finished speaking, a square-faced man next to him immediately nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, this is just a report meeting after all, so let's move on to the next topic as soon as possible."

Cough cough cough,
The man sitting in the main seat, who always kept a kind smile, coughed lightly a few times.

The familiar voice instantly stopped all discussions in the conference room, and everyone's eyes turned to him.

Minister Miki, who was sitting at the temporary conference table, naturally felt this atmosphere. He lowered his head slightly and glanced casually at the business card on the other party's table - the Commander-in-Chief.

[Although it was due to special circumstances, I never thought that I would be able to climb to this seat one day. 】

Sure enough, after taking a break from coughing, the man slowly put his fingers together and gently placed them in front of his body.

Then his calm but powerful voice echoed in the conference room.

"In that case, please ask Minister Miki and Minister Fujiwara to go to the waiting area for the time being. We will now move on to the next topic."

"Yes!"

Minister Miki and Minister Fujiwara responded in unison, then stood up and left.

--------

Da da da.

The sound of leather shoes hitting the corridor floor was particularly clear in the empty corridor.

Minister Miki followed closely behind Minister Fujiwara, and the two maintained a subtle distance between them, without any verbal communication between them.

After all, in the previous Izumo City incident, there had been considerable disagreement between Minister Miki and Minister Fujiwara over Takasata Ryuji's stance, and it could even be said that they had a falling out.

Therefore, for Minister Miki, the best option at this time is to keep a distance from the other party as soon as possible to avoid further escalation of the awkward atmosphere.

Even when meeting each other now, Minister Miki felt an indescribable awkwardness in the air.

Da da da,
Suddenly the rhythm of the leather shoes tapping the ground slowed down.

"Mimu, do you know the identities of the two people who just hinted and interrupted the meeting?"

Minister Fujiwara suddenly stopped and asked in a low voice to Minister Miki behind him.

Minister Miki was slightly stunned, then the faces of the two people in the conference room quickly flashed through his mind, and his tone became softer.

"I think they are the ministers of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and the Ministry of the Environment."

The two continued walking, but the conversation did not stop.

"Then do you remember the next topic?"

"I remember it was about the reconstruction of the Izumo area, right?"

"Yes."

"Then have you ever thought about why I was not included in the discussion of this meeting?"

Minister Miki was stunned again, as if he understood something but not quite.

"You still need to practice your sensitivity."

……

As they were talking, the two had already arrived at their destination.

They gently pushed open the red door in front of them. Minister Fujiwara skillfully sent away the staff who came forward to serve, and then sat comfortably on a leather chair.

"As you might expect, regional construction is usually inseparable from the issue of military stationing," Minister Fujiwara continued to add, "but this time, the Ministry of Defense was excluded from the urban construction in the Izumo region. This is undoubtedly a worrying signal."

With a click, Minister Miki sat down on the chair, finally understanding the meaning of Minister Fujiwara's words.

“Have the top leaders tacitly agreed to cede the Izumo region to the international community?”

"That's probably it." Minister Fujiwara untied his tie and relaxed a little.
"Those guys obviously..."

Just as he was about to continue speaking, he suddenly thought of something, and Minister Fujiwara sat up slightly straighter, looking at Minister Miki with a smile.

"Let's not talk about this for now. I heard that a great high-end sushi restaurant has just opened nearby. I heard that you're getting a promotion, so I'm going to make you spend some money to celebrate!"

Minister Miki thought to himself, "It is as expected."

His renewed conversation with Minister Fujiwara in the corridor was actually a new signal.

Although they had some unpleasantness in the incident in Izumo City,
But considering that Minister Miki's tough attitude eventually led to a resolution of the matter, the relationship between them seems to be gradually easing.

After all, it was later learned that the shrine maiden who successfully stopped Ryomen Sukuna was most likely recruited by Takasaka Ryuji.

Considering again Ryuji Takashi's position in the Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau, this matter can be considered as a credit to the Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau.

In addition, the two of them had worked together before, so it was easy for them to ease their relationship.

[It seems that after hearing the news that my Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau is about to be upgraded, you are here to ease the relationship, right? ]

Minister Miki looked meaningfully at Minister Fujiwara in front of him, and the expression on his face suddenly became cheerful.

"No, no, Minister Fujiwara has been in this position for so long and has a lot of experience. I may need to learn from you in the future!"

"Good good!"

--------

The moonlight is slowly rising.

The dim gymnasium was filled with all kinds of sports equipment, with only a faint light shining down from above.

"Hey, Azhi, you bastard! Didn't I tell you not to put on your clothes until the ceremony is over?"

With a roar, a thin boy was thrown to the ground.

It was near the end of the year and the weather was unusually cold.

The boy folded his arms across his chest, trying to keep warm.

He even used one arm to cover his lower body, trying to maintain his sense of shame.

“123, plop!”

With a slight vibration, the dust on the ground suddenly rose up, a curve quickly passed by, the sports mat was suddenly lifted up, and then a dried blood magic circle on the ground came into view.

"Wow, it's actually here!"

"Takagi-san, can I put on another coat? It's December now and it's really cold."

The thin boy turned around in fear, looking at the three burly classmates behind him, his voice trembling. "Hey, hey, do you know what you are saying?"

The tall boy in the middle raised his eyebrows, his eyes revealing a threat.

He turned and winked at a slightly fat boy next to him, "An Ye, what exactly does the ritual in your manual require?"

The fat boy's eyes widened in anxiety, and he curled his lips. The album in his hand shook slightly, "It is said in the ceremony that no clothing is allowed, which will interfere with the result of the ceremony!"

"Very good!" The boy in the middle showed a malicious smile on his face and stared fiercely at the thin boy on the ground.

“Hurry up! Use a knife to cut your arm and let the blood drip into the middle of the magic circle!” the tall boy in the middle urged.

The thin boy helplessly held the knife which seemed even colder in the cold weather, his fingers trembling constantly due to fear and cold.

These three people often bullied him on weekdays, but he always thought that he was about to graduate and could start his school life again, so he chose to endure it again and again.

However, today after school, these three people blocked him at the toilet door with excitement for some reason, and kept muttering "I will definitely succeed this time".

Just when he was puzzled, he was forcibly dragged here by the other party.

Looking at the knife flashing with cold light in front of him and the three people talking and laughing beside him, the thin boy couldn't help but tremble slightly.

[How could extraordinary events happen so easily in this world? ! ! ]

[But this should be the last time]

[If you agree to them again, they will never come to me again! ]

[That’s right, it must be like this! ]

Suddenly, for some reason, a hoarse voice emerged in the boy's mind: "You even have the courage to hurt yourself, why don't you use the knife in your hand to take revenge on those three guys?"

【I……】

The boy stopped talking.

"What a coward."

【Don’t bother with me!!!】

The boy was enraged and swung his arms violently.

With a swish, the knife cut through the skin and blood instantly sprayed onto the magic circle on the ground.

"Wow, this guy actually did that!"

"Tsk tsk, should we say he is courageous or timid?"

The boy's body stiffened slightly, but he still managed a stiff smile and turned to the three people behind him.

"Takagi-san, is this all right?"

However, before he could finish his words, he suddenly noticed a red light reflected on the faces of the three people in front of him. Their eyes widened instantly, as if they had seen something incredible.

Then, their bodies began to retreat uncontrollably.

Plop.

Takagi was tripped by a baseball bat that appeared on the ground out of nowhere and fell to the ground instantly. He also pulled the two people next to him and fell to the ground together.

"what is that?!!"

"Didn't they say there was a succubus?"

"Idiot, your succubus is an old man?!"

Looking at the genuine expressions of fear on the faces of the three people in front of him, the thin boy couldn't help but turn his head backwards.

In the moonlight, through the window of the gymnasium, he saw a pair of skinny feet in slippers standing quietly in front of him, with a withered cane leaning beside him.

The boy's gaze continued to move upwards, and he saw an old man in tattered temple robes staring at them with a hideous grin on his face.

On the old man's forehead, a bright red eye kept scanning everyone present.

"I really didn't expect that I would appear in the human world like this!"

"By the way, is this the area where I was sealed? It has changed so much!"

"Forget it, it's not important anymore."

The old man waved his hand, interrupting his thoughts.

He pointed a dry finger at the three boys and waved to them.

"It should be that you helped me to remove the seal. In order to repay you, I can help you realize your wish according to the situation!"

On the other side, the three people sitting on the ground looked at each other and instantly understood what the old man meant.

There was ecstasy on their faces and they rushed to stand up.

"Me! Me me!"

"Finish mine first! I wonder if there's any more eel sushi to eat?!!"

Suddenly, Gao Mu pushed away the two people beside him, rushed to the old man, and had a flattering smile on his face.

"Grandpa! I wish I could have endless vacations!"

The old man in monk's robes stretched out his withered arm, gently placed it on Gao Mu's head, stroking it slowly, then lowered his head and repeated Gao Mu's words.

"Want a vacation that never ends, huh?"

Suddenly, the eyes on his forehead widened and his smile disappeared without a trace.

"Then I will satisfy you!" said the old man coldly.

brush!
A red line flashed across the night sky.

The thin boy lying limp on the ground suddenly saw the tall wooden head in front of him tilt slightly, and then his body collapsed to the ground weakly.

With a plop,
Takagi's body fell heavily to the ground, and his head began to roll on the ground, making a gurgling sound.

bang bang!

Immediately afterwards, Takagi's head hit the iron frame holding the basketball, making a dull sound.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Seeing this, the remaining two people reacted instantly, got up in horror, and ran towards the gymnasium entrance.

However, they found that the door had been locked in advance and there was nowhere to escape.

"Woohoo! Open it quickly!"

Boom!

"Open the door quickly!"

The boy covered his mouth and suddenly felt a withered arm caressing his head.

Before he could turn around, the voice of the old man in monk's robes instantly echoed in the empty sports warehouse.

"Go ahead! Pick up the knife and kill those two and I'll let you go!"

The thin boy whimpered, "I can't do it..."

"What a coward! I really want to kill you now!"

"But for your blood's sake!"

Whizzing!

A red light flashed, and two more collapsed bodies appeared in the sports warehouse.

Then the old man in monk's robes grabbed the thin boy's head, and the eyes on his forehead stared at him, emitting a faint red light.

"Forget everything that happened tonight!"

thump!
"Next, according to the plan, we will go to Kyoto to remove the seal on that adult and the Hundred Demons."
