Chapter 1023

"According to speculation, the 'Chichi' should be just a 'dead lake' that appears full of rainy days, but it is not completely impossible to lead to other places..."

Suddenly remembered something, Takeshi Iwata took out the tablet from his tactical backpack, opened the nearby terrain map, and checked it with the agents.

"how do I say this?"

Araki Sousuke, who was sleek and tattooed all over his body, swayed the raging "Little Sousuke" and leaned over curiously.

"Look here... Among the Fuji Five Lakes, West Lake, Motosu Lake, and Shoji Lake used to belong to the same huge lake before the eruption of Mt.

"Well, Araki-kun, please pay attention to the social distance, you are going to throw it in the face!" 』

Facing the "Ghost Knight" who saved the entire Tokyo by himself, Takeshi Iwata could only dodge the mosaic stick shaking in front of him, and explained to the other party respectfully: "It is said that even the people further east Lake Kawaguchi, and even Lake Yamanaka, have the possibility of being connected to it.”

"What?! You mean, the bigger pond in front of you may connect to a water vein with a radius of hundreds of kilometers?!"

Looking at the "Fuji Five Lakes" surrounding the foot of Mount Fuji from west to east on the map, Sousuke Araki also had a difficult time.

"It's not easy to sneak in the narrow and intricate underground water veins. Coupled with such a large range of activities, it's tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack..."

Ichiro Tokimoto shook his head, completely negating the idea of ​​"capturing criminals by water": "We will continue to use helicopters to chase from above... No matter whether the target is moving underwater or on the ground, there is always a time to stop!"

"Immediately, let the helicopter meet us by the lake!"

"receive."

As soon as the detectives around Takeo Iwata waved, someone contacted him.

"Boom, boom..."

Amidst the muffled thunder, the ground suddenly trembled slightly.

"This side is near Mount Fuji, and volcanic activity occasionally causes small tremors, which is normal."

"The helicopter is already in place, let's go there quickly."

As the people of the island country that had been plagued by many disasters, everyone has long been immune to this weak ground vibration, and they returned in an orderly manner to the lakeside when they came.

"Normal volcanic activity?"

Curiously looking in the direction of the sound, Araki Sousuke habitually reached out and scratched between his legs: "I hope so."

For some reason, the shock just now gave him an inexplicable sense of irritability.

"Hey, why are you leaving, but you haven't even worn your underwear yet!"

Looking back, he found himself naked by the blood-colored lake, Araki Sosuke hurriedly put clothes on his body.

…

Mount Fuji, the top of Sword Peak, Asama Taisha Okunomiya.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

On the top of the snow-white Mount Fuji all the year round, in the unremarkable gray temple, the firewood in the hearth is crackling, and the burning kettle hanging in the air makes a crackling sound like the wind.

"The great Konohana no Saku Yabi, please send down the oracle and show the ignorant son of God the source of the change."

At this time, the gray-haired mountain hunting priest had no time to pay attention to the boiling kettle, and just lowered his body against a thick dead wood in the hall, motionless.

This section of the thousand-year-old Fuji cherry tree is the "God of God" that has been enshrined to this day since the construction of this Austrian palace.

"Boom, boom..."

At the same time, the ground below him, together with the entire mountain, shook slightly again.

"The changes in the big formation are becoming more and more frequent."

Such shaking made Yamakari's snow-white thick eyebrows squeeze together.

"Mt. Fuji and the Great Formation have the same origin. This is not a good sign."

Slowly getting up, Yamakari took the crutches, wrapped the fur coat and coir raincoat on the hanger, sat by the door and began to put crampons on the soles of his feet.

"It seems that I have to take a trip to patrol the mountains in the snow."

As the owner of Mt. Fuji, Asama Taisha Shrine was originally built thousands of years ago by the "Spirit of Mount Fuji" who often burnt the living with anger in the town festival.

Thousands of years have passed, and generations of Asama Taisha priests have stood here, building an extremely large and complex formation on the entire mountain.

To this day, even Yamakari, who is the chief priest of the Oku Palace, cannot accurately sense the multi-point and wide-area formation, and can only confirm it through regular "mountain patrols".

"Great God Qianjian, I hope you can bless me and return safely from the snowstorm."

After dressing up, Yamakari, who was dressed like a mountain watcher, stood in front of the door and bowed to the "God Body".

"Um?"

When he straightened his back again, he saw several green shoots emerging from the surface of the trunk that could be called a fossil...

"Yu...divine body..."

The newly born tender green surrounds the trunk, buds, leaves, and buds at a speed visible to the naked eye...

"Flowering?"

Before Yamakari had time to blink, a cluster of pink and delicate cherry blossoms quietly bloomed in front of his eyes.

"Withered trees are in spring, and mountain cherry blossoms are blooming with snow... There must be a good omen coming from the sky..."

With a "plop", Yamakari hit his head **** the floor, and worshiped the tree trunk where the cherry blossoms were falling.

"Shenzi Shanshou, respectfully accept the oracle!"

Asama Dagami, whose real name is "Kohana no Saku Yabikan", means "born when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom".

The cherry blossoms blooming on the body of the imperial **** in front of me are the first "oracle" that has come down since Asama Dashen "slumbered" for hundreds of years.

"Da da da da da da da da da..."

At the same time, there was a low and heavy whirling sound from above the roof.

"Straight, helicopter?!"

Yamakari pushed the door out, and saw two military helicopters, one after the other, breaking through the wind and snow, UU reading www. uukanshu.com landed firmly on the viewing platform on the top of the mountain.

"Ah, to be able to reach the summit directly, it is indeed a military helicopter, it is too powerful!"

Araki Sousuke, wearing a white camouflage uniform, stepped out from the cabin with his head down, looking curiously at the golden surroundings.

"Last time, I took one step at a time and slapped for hours..."

When his gaze swept over the edge of a snow-white viewing platform, he froze for some reason and fell silent.

"UH-1N's limit operating altitude is 6,000 meters. As long as it is not in severe weather beyond the specification, it is not a big problem to climb Mount Fuji at 3,775 meters..."

"Besides, this is originally a fixed item in the annual "Mount Fuji Joint Rescue Exercise"."

Not noticing his abnormality, Takeshi Iwata, who was the second to get off the plane, explained to him with white breath.

"Although this item is indeed included in the rescue exercise, landing directly without reporting is a violation of the agreement between the government and Asama Taisha."

After the helicopter's propellers stopped completely, the Yamakari priest wearing a coir raincoat broke through the wind and snow and walked up with a straight face.
