Fight against the Lord God and spread the power of collapse from Tokyo

It's so weird because this city is so normal.

At this time in Fuji Castle, not to mention the resurrection of the dead or the transformation of animals into monsters due to the collapse, not even a single vicious incident had occurred.

The shadow of war far away in Yokohama did not seem to have affected this small city too much. Apart from the fact that prices had risen recently, causing dissatisfaction among citizens, the city was surprisingly completely peaceful.

“Is there really a collapse here?”

"Could it really be a false detection by the instrument?"

Thinking of this, Wuliangta Jizi looked at the children playing happily in the distance and became confused.

But at this moment, a burst of urgent alarm bells suddenly rang on the street.

"This is?"

Wuliangta Jizi, whose train of thought was interrupted, frowned, picked up her backpack and walked to the exit of the park, looking at the several police cars driving quickly on the street with a hint of confusion.

It was clear during the previous investigation that there had been no serious incidents for a long time, and the police here were all lazy.

Why are you so busy all of a sudden?

"Did something happen?"

Wuliangta Jizi frowned and glanced in the direction of the police car, showing some surprise.

"...And that direction is heading out of the city towards Mount Fuji, right?"

"Could it be that on the mountain..."

Himeko Muryota looked up at the towering Mount Fuji, seeming to be lost in thought.

To be honest, she only inspected the city at the foot of the mountain. She didn't really go to the foot of the mountain. After all, collapse usually occurs in densely populated areas, not uninhabited areas.

"But now it seems that this was an accident?"

Wuliangta Jizi whispered to herself.

After all, there have been cases of collapse in sparsely populated areas before...

Thinking of this, her eyes flashed for a moment, and Wuliangta Jizi put on her large backpack again and chased in the direction of the police car.

But what Wuliangta Jizi didn't notice was that when she followed the police car to chase Mount Fuji, in the shadows, a black shadow on all fours was silently following behind her...

At this moment, on Mount Fuji, the shrine staff who had not yet waited for the police arrived at the site of the landslide while complaining and cursing Gon Gongji, and looked at the cave in front of them in surprise.

- Good news, judging from the current situation, the landslide is not serious. Only a small part of the mountain wall collapsed, and there is no sign of any casualties.

But the bad news is that something resembling an artificial cave seemed to be revealed under the collapsed mountain wall.

"what is this?"

Some clergymen looked in doubt and amazement at the cave, which was obviously dug by humans and could accommodate two caves with three people walking at the same time.

"It seems... a passage?"

Someone hesitated and said, "It looks like the passage of some ancient tomb."

After hearing this, one of them showed a shocked expression as if being reminded and said, "Speaking of which, the historical prototype of Lord Takenami-no-Gosho... ahem, I mean, the reincarnation identity of Lord Takenami-no-Gosho, the General of Thunder, has been missing for a long time, and no specific tomb has been found, right?"

"Do you think...?"

Hearing this, the people who came to explore looked at each other, and their breathing became a little heavy.

As priests of Narukami Taisha Shrine, they are naturally very familiar with the legend of their own deity, Mitake Narukami-no-Gosho.

The prototype of Lord Takenami-no-Ogosho was the Raiden Shogun who once briefly unified the world.

However, General Lei Dian mysteriously disappeared later on, and the dynasty he established collapsed in an instant...

According to rumors, the collapse of General Lei Dian's dynasty was due to the fact that General Lei Dian hid a large amount of treasure and built a secret tomb, which is why General Lei Dian's dynasty collapsed.

However, because this statement is too bizarre, the academic community in District 11 has always held a negative attitude towards it, and it is basically just a legend that no one cares about.

However, unlike the academic community, the Narujin Taisha Shrine believed this statement very much and even wrote it directly on the shrine's record stone tablet...

If this is really the tomb of the mysteriously disappeared General Lei Dian... then wouldn't it be filled with all kinds of treasures collected by General Lei Dian?

Thinking of this, one of them swallowed his saliva and carefully suggested: "Speaking of which, although there are no tourists here, maybe there are tourists who have mistakenly entered here?"

"How about we go in and take a look?"

Hearing this proposal, the people around were slightly moved and agreed one after another.

"Yes, yes!"

“This is also for the sake of tourists!”

"Just go in and take a look, just take a look..."

After reaching a consensus, the clergy who came to explore walked into the cave carefully, with excitement in their hearts, bypassing the collapsed stone wall.

However, because it was relatively dark in the cave, someone cautiously took out a windproof lighter, used the slightly swaying flame as lighting and warning, and walked in front.

Soon after they entered the square cave, the uneven stones under their feet turned into flat stone slabs pointing downwards.

Seeing this scene boosted the morale of the people who had already had some thoughts of retreating because they only had lighters for lighting.

"It's an artificial floor... Even if this place isn't the legendary tomb of General Raiden, it's definitely some ancient ruins!"

The person walking in front looked at the floor beneath his feet and whispered as he walked.

After hearing this, someone couldn't help but say, "...then there must be antiques or something like that, right?"

At this point, everyone stopped hiding anything and started discussing boldly as they moved forward.

"Of course there are. Mount Fuji is the sacred mountain of our District 11. How could someone who can build a mausoleum here be without treasures to bury with him?"

"Ah, that's great... I still have 35 years of mortgage payments to make. If I can get the antique..."

"If I get the antique, I'll quit my job immediately! No one would want to work as a handyman in such a desolate place with so much trouble all their lives!"

"I want to travel..."

For a while, there was no sign of treasures or antiques, but most people were already obsessed with the idea of ​​getting antiques and living a life of luxury.

As for the fact that this piece of land theoretically belongs to the Naruto-taisha Shrine, and the antiques theoretically belong to the shrine, everyone has intentionally or unintentionally put these things behind them.

The opportunity to make a fortune is right in front of you, who cares whether it is a shrine or not.

But at this moment, the person in the front holding a lighter stretched out his hand and stopped everyone behind him.

“What…what happened!?”

"Is there anything ahead?"

The person at the back who didn't understand what was going on said nervously.

The man holding the lighter simply leaned it against the wall, pointed at it and said, "Look!"

The others looked in the direction of the lighter in confusion.

I was immediately surprised to find that there was a carved mural on the wall that stretched into the darkness.

Moreover, the carvings on the murals are extremely delicate, much more exquisite than many modern machine-made carvings, and do not look like ancient products at all.

"Amazing……"

Someone couldn't help but sigh.

But at this time, most people focused their attention on the content of the mural illuminated by the flames.

As everyone walked inside, they carefully read the contents of the murals.

At the beginning, the mural depicts a mighty warrior whose figure cannot be seen clearly. Later, the mural records the story of how this warrior gradually pacified the war and became the "man of the world", that is, the ruler.

Strictly speaking, these stories are everywhere. Everyone who has ever been the ruler of District 11 has a bunch of them. There is nothing worth paying attention to.

However, the samurai sword in the hands of the warrior looked more and more familiar to the explorers... until the warrior built a shrine and gave the shrine to a woman with a fox tail. Then everyone was surprised to find that this story was clearly the legend of the origin of Narukami Taisha Shrine recorded in the shrine!

"This is indeed the tomb of General Lei Dian!"

"That sword is what the sacred body [Mist Cutting] enshrined in the shrine looked like before it was broken!"

"No wonder, the more I looked at it, the more familiar it looked."

Seeing this information, everyone's eyes became even more excited and their pace quickened.

But they didn't notice that as they moved forward, the mural began to change.

When warriors ruled the world and established shrines, everything began to change.

The mural outlined a certain existence with distorted and indescribable strokes, and everything on the mural began to distort. The general's soldiers turned into humanoid monsters, and the beasts in the fields turned into distorted monsters.

On a section of the road further back, a terrifying giant snake appeared on the mural, occupying several walls. It was hundreds of times larger than the people on the mural. It emerged from the sea water and appeared in front of the warriors...

But at this time, everyone didn't care about the content on the mural at all. They had been blinded by the wealth in front of them. They just kept walking quickly towards the fire, fearing that they would be late and fall behind, and the treasures and antiques would be snatched away.

When everyone reached the end, a huge stone gate with murals carved on it appeared in front of them.

"This is?"

The man holding the lighter moved the lighter close to the door and pushed it a few times subconsciously.

The door didn't move at all.

"Damn it... there's actually a stone door blocking the way inside?"

"What are you doing this for!"

"What a waste!"

Everyone shouted in dissatisfaction, and some even cursed the gods they once worshipped without a care in the world.

Compared to gods and beliefs, treasures and antiques are indeed more important to them.

At this time, in order to find possible entrances and mechanisms, the people around finally turned their attention back to the murals on the surrounding stone walls and gates.

And on this last section of the road, the content of the murals has undergone many changes.

In the mural, the once magnificent shrine has turned into ruins. Atop the ruins is a warrior holding a broken blade and an even larger snake entwined around the huge Mount Fuji.

“Is this on the mural?”

"It is something that is not recorded in the legend of Narujin Taisha..."

Everyone looked at the last mural carved on the last gate with some uneasiness.

In the last image on the gate, the warrior had disappeared, leaving only the huge snake, which was buried at the foot of Mount Fuji. The fox rebuilt a magnificent shrine on the snake's head, and then enshrined a broken sword in the shrine. Afterwards, he lay in the tomb under the shrine, suppressing the snake.

"…Hey, isn't this thing bad?"

"This content doesn't look like the tomb of General Lei Dian. It looks more like..."

Someone murmured, "The seal of the monster?"

Chapter 70: The Key's Mist Cut

Although this group of people can abandon their faith in gods for money, in fact they all believe in ghosts and gods to a certain extent, otherwise they would not work in the shrine.

But it was precisely because of this that as soon as the youngest man in the team said, "It's more like a seal for a monster," the people around him immediately retorted excitedly, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"There are no ghosts or gods in this world!"

"That's right, it's just a carving used to scare away tomb robbers!"

"If you're scared, just go back by yourself!"

There were even clergymen among the group, but everyone was vehemently speaking atheistic words... I didn't know whether they were refuting others or comforting themselves.

Hearing everyone's rebuttal, the young man who spoke shrank his neck and dared not say anything more.

What's more, now that he has come this far, it is impossible for him to leave. If he leaves now without getting the valuable antiques and treasures, wouldn't it be a waste of his trip?

Seeing that he didn't speak, the people around him didn't say anything either. Instead, they immediately put the topic aside and turned around to continue looking for clues to open the door.

At this time, the young man looked at the mural again. He didn't know why, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the giant snake that was pressed under the shrine in the mural was actually wriggling as if it had come alive, and its eyes were flashing like red gems...

Just as the young man was becoming more and more fascinated by the statue in front of him, a cheer suddenly came from the surroundings: "Found it!"

Amid the cheers around him, the young man was instantly awakened from his hallucination, and subconsciously rubbed his eyes and looked at the mural carved on the gate again.

However, the mural has now returned to normal. Although it looks dark and scary because the lighter is not in front of it, it can be seen that it is just an ordinary mural. As for the eyes, they are just ordinary gray stones, without the texture of the red flashing gems in the vision just now.

“…Is it, is it an illusion?”

The young man whispered to himself: "Yes, it's an illusion, it must be an illusion, it's just the visual difference caused by the shadow!"
