The mastermind behind this started by creating a strange story

A dripping sound was heard, and blood flowed along the lines of the statue to the ground, forming small pools of blood on the ground.

The smell of blood and dripping sounds filled the entire inner hall, but Sakai Akito seemed not to hear them. Seeing that nothing had happened, he walked back into the house.

If it’s not enough, then try again.

………………

"what!!!"

In the early morning, the shrill screams of the shrine maiden who came up the mountain to work part-time at the shrine broke the tranquility of the dawn with morning dew.

After one hour.

"Get out of the way, don't stand here and watch!"

It is human nature to watch the excitement. This nature has nothing to do with nationality, race, gender, etc. After all, who can resist watching the excitement?

Especially when it comes to the scene of a murder, if you can take a photo of this first-hand scene, it will be extra income.

No matter which newspaper it is sold to, the reward will not be a small sum, after all, this is a case involving the death of a clergyman.

Even though the police arrived in time, they still couldn't stop people's enthusiasm. It would be better to say that it was the police's attitude that made the onlookers even more excited.

Don't the bodies being carried out wrapped in white cloth prove that this case is no small matter? With such a large death toll, it is definitely big news.

After more than ten minutes, the shrine on the mountain was blocked off, and after the crowd was expelled, even the torii gate leading to the mountain was completely surrounded by cordons.

This case can be said to be extremely bad. It has not happened for three or four years. The last such a bad case was the Kanagawa murder and dismemberment case.

Moreover, compared with the case in Kanagawa, this case is more complicated and serious. Even the motive is unclear, and it happened in a shrine, a place where gods are worshipped.

The police who came here to investigate entered the shrine where the statue was enshrined. Those with poor mental qualities vomited on the spot, and even those who did not vomit had a pale face.

As soon as the door was opened, a pungent smell of blood hit me in the face. The Inari statue looked like it was immersed in a pool of blood. The blood on its body had not coagulated yet and was still dripping to the ground.

In front of the statue was a group of headless people, their bodies completely prostrated on the ground with their hands stretched forward, as if they were kneeling down to worship the gods they believed in, and a pool of blood gathered beneath them.

What should have been a harmonious scene has now become a scene of being harmonized.

The heads were placed around the Inari statue, forming a circle, with their eyes bulging high, as if asking unwillingly why.

After a brief investigation, it has been confirmed that the dead people are all the clergy in the shrine. Not a single one is alive, regardless of gender.

Revenge? Or a sacrifice to an evil god?

Inspector Kimura, who came to the scene to observe, was more inclined to the latter possibility. The possibility of revenge was very small. Who would make a grudge against a shrine?

Moreover, this killing method was clearly of a sacrificial nature, but... was this really done by humans?

I just learned about Himura's appearance from Inspector Sato yesterday. It seems that a supernatural being has appeared within their jurisdiction.

A shrine was massacred today, and the scene was so horrific and bloody, as if it was a sacrifice to an evil god.

Although it was a bit far-fetched, he always felt that there must be some connection between the two, otherwise why would the cases happen so close in time.

Massacre... sacrifice... sacrifice... evil god...

!!!

It occurred to him that a light bulb went off in his head. Inspector Kimura seemed to have thought of the connection between the two things and sacrificed the evil god!

The frozen village sacrificed an entire village's worth of people, and although the shrine only sacrificed a few dozen people, it was even more malicious and bloody than the sacrifice made by the evil god!

These two things may have been done by two different supernatural forces, but they both have one purpose, which is to sacrifice to the evil god!

The Frozen Force is very powerful. Each sacrifice is an entire village, and it comes instantly, killing people before they can even react.

The bloody forces were tiny and could only sacrifice a few dozen people, but their massacres were even more brutal and they had more malicious intent than the evil gods' sacrifices.

Eliminate all the impossibilities, and whatever remains, no matter how incredible it is, is the truth.

Although these are just his guesses and we still have to wait for professionals to make the judgment, his guess is also a possibility and will definitely not be ignored.

As for the real result, we still have to wait for the arrival of professionals, the mysterious Sixth Class, which specializes in supernatural cases.

Chapter 133 Troubled Times

Nagata-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.

In the office of the Prime Minister's official residence, the Prime Minister was rubbing his bearded chin, looking at the confidential document in his hand that had just been sent from Hokkaido.

The document details what happened in Akkeshi Town, Kushiro City, Hokkaido, as well as the local police's speculations, and is also accompanied by high-definition photos.

Even the eyelashes on the dead head were captured clearly, which made the Prime Minister feel nauseous. They were all heavy-mouthed photos that would make any normal person feel nauseous.

Putting down the document and rubbing his temple, he thought of a series of events that had happened recently, the divestment of funds by America and the transfer of supernatural research.

Because the only pure-blooded werewolf never returned when he went on a mission to Romania. Although the report said he disappeared, everyone knew that this was just a euphemism for death without a complete body.

Having lost the only key to research, the pure-blooded werewolf, America shifted its research focus back to its own country without hesitation.

Not to mention that the demon hunting weapons are also with them. Although the research at the Yokosuka military base has not been completely terminated, there are only a handful of people left there, conducting insignificant small research.

"Oh, what a troubled time."

The Prime Minister frowned tightly. The matter in the research laboratory had just ended, and there were more than one case of suspected supernatural evil god worship in his own country.

Why is there always so many disasters in their country? The only thing to be thankful for is that the appearance of the supernatural has not yet been known to the public, although some subtle public opinions have appeared on the Internet.

I don’t know how long it can be hidden, I just hope that by then society can accept this fact calmly.

………………

Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

"Oh, I have to run again."

Sitting in his office, Ichiro Kamiki was looking at a transfer order issued to him by his superior.

This was not his first time to go out on field work. After all, any case involving supernatural phenomena required him to make a trip, although those cases were basically just groundless rumors.

"Forget it, just treat it as a public-funded trip."

Ichiro Kamiki is quite open-minded about these suspected supernatural cases. Whether they are true or false, it does not affect his salary.

To be honest, he actually hoped that this case was just a human crime, and it was treated as a supernatural case because it was a bit bizarre. As for the specific situation, he would only know it when he arrived at the scene.

Without any real supernatural power, his safety would be greatly improved, and his salary would not be reduced, so why not do it.

"Click~"

"Section Chief, I heard that there is another suspected supernatural incident?"

Just as Kamiki Ichiro was imagining that this was just a false supernatural case, a female voice was heard along with the sound of the door opening.

Shusong Fuhua opened the office door, walked straight to the desk, and stared at Kamiki Ichiro sitting in the office chair.

"Uh...that's right."

Seeing the steady look in Susamatsu Fuka's eyes as she stared at him, Kamiki Ichiro was stunned for a moment but finally nodded.

He no longer knew how to express his complicated feelings towards his deputy.

Unlike his laissez-faire attitude towards work, the other party is very serious and does his best in every confusing case, although it is basically a thankless task in the end.

But this did not dampen his interest in supernatural cases, and he took every case 100% seriously.

Unfortunately, the other party was only his subordinate in name only, and her real boss was the Central Intelligence Agency of America.

"Then may I ask when we are leaving? I am always ready."

Shumatsu Fuka naturally couldn't tell what Kamiki Ichiro was thinking, so she asked seriously about the departure time.

"...Wait a little longer. Don't be so impatient. It's not too late to set off after you have packed up."

"Then I hope you can finish cleaning up as soon as possible. One second late means one point less intelligence we can obtain."

After saying that, Shu Songfenghua turned around and left the office without any further ado.

"Forget it, the higher-ups probably can't wait any longer."

Looking at this scene, Kamiki Ichiro sighed and stood up. Although he had the mentality of muddling through, he couldn't just be perfunctory about it. He had to at least produce some investigation results. At the very least, he couldn't let his high salary down.

………………

Kushiro City, Akan Town.

Akito Sakai had washed off the blood and the knife on his waist was wrapped in cloth.

Once you are in a crowded place, you cannot blatantly wear controlled knives on your waist, or the police will come up and question you.

The killing at Akkeshi Shrine did not bring anything. No gods appeared, and no miracles occurred.

No matter what kind of insulting behavior Sakai Akito committed to the Inari statue, the Inari statue remained motionless, as if it was just an ordinary stone statue.

After waiting for half a night, Akito Sakai finally confirmed one thing: this was really just an ordinary stone sculpture, and there was no so-called god at all.

I was not disappointed. This wasn't some famous shrine, so it made sense that the gods weren't watching over here.

After washing the blood off his body in the hand-washing house, Akito Sakai did not stop but continued on his way before dawn.

At noon in the red sun, after walking for an unknown distance, Akito Sakai knew from the road signs that he had left Akkeshi Town. Although he was still in Kushiro, he had reached Akan Town on the edge.

If he didn't come across any new shrines along the way, he wouldn't stop there. Of course, if he did, he wouldn't mind stopping there.

As for Akito Sakai, who left, he naturally had no idea how much of a headache the mess he left behind would cause the investigating police officers. Even if he knew, he would not care.

At this moment, inside the Akkeshi Town Police Station.

The police officers in the conference room all had solemn expressions on their faces as they analyzed the results of this investigation.

While Section 6 was arriving, Inspector Kimura had already asked the criminal police who specialized in investigation to carefully collect any clues or information that might have been left at the scene.

For example, hair, fingerprints, and even the whereabouts of the criminal after committing the crime.

After slaughtering the clergy last night, the criminals did not even try to hide their thoughts, and their bloody footprints were clearly left on the ground.

Through the bloodstains left at the scene, the direction of the footprints, and other small clues, it is possible to reconstruct the scene when the murderer committed the crime last night.

At the same time, the autopsy report from the police forensic doctor has been delivered to them. They have only made a rough analysis and further analysis will take some time.

At this moment, everyone in the police station conference room was analyzing the criminal's behavior patterns and identity information while waiting for the arrival of Lesson 6.

Chapter 134 Possibility (I suck, another update)

Although the distance between Tokyo and Hokkaido is nearly one thousand kilometers, it only takes about one or two hours to reach the destination if you take the fastest plane.

What's more, Ichiro Kamiki already had a mission to accomplish, so he would definitely do it as quickly as possible.

Anyway, all expenses can be reimbursed afterwards. It's a waste not to spend money. There is no such thing as saving money on these things.

With this idea in mind, Ichiro Kamiki and his subordinates boarded the most expensive and fastest plane and arrived in Hokkaido in the shortest time possible.

Two hours later, using all the fastest means of transportation, they successfully arrived at the Akkeshi Town Police Station before dusk. At this moment, the Akkeshi Town police had just finished a meeting.

Of course, the information summarized from the meeting has been integrated and is waiting for Ichiro Kamiki to come and take a look.

"Section Chief Kamiki, nice to meet you!"

Inspector Kimura held Ichiro Kamiki's hand and shook it up and down with a smile on his face.

This is an expert in dealing with the supernatural. We can't neglect him. Although he looks ordinary, as the saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover. He may have some magical abilities.

Ichiro Kamiki took Inspector Kimura's enthusiasm calmly. After all, this was the attitude of everyone who met him for the first time, and he was used to it.

"Inspector Kimura, may I ask what exactly happened here? I need detailed information."

"Okay, okay, please come to the conference room. We have summarized the intelligence information."

Inspector Kimura let go of Kamiki Ichiro's hand, raised his hands, and led everyone from Section 6 towards the police station meeting room.

Time passed quickly, the sunset glow gradually appeared on the horizon, the small puddles on the roadside reflected the light of dusk, and yesterday's snow had completely melted.

In the conference room, Ichiro Kamiki leaned back in his chair and looked through the documents. The densely packed pile of files also made him thoroughly understand the problems that occurred here.

There is no doubt in Bingcun about the two supernatural cases. After all, it is definitely not something that can be done by human power. Even if the tools invented by humans are used, it is impossible to freeze the entire village in that instant.

It's definitely the work of supernatural forces.

But the shrine massacre is not necessarily the case. After all, humans can do it, and although it is bloody, it is not impossible to replicate.

"Inspector Kimura, why do you think the shrine massacre was done by a supernatural being?"

"Only based on this autopsy report?"
