"Lord, please don't blame Sister Qing. It's mainly the demon power of those monsters. It is too weak. It is not as good as the little demon who was just born in the demon world, and even some special plants are not comparable to those of us living in the demon world. For the monster with high concentration of monster power, it would be too difficult if it weren't deliberately perceived!" Shiori looked at the lord with aggrieved expression.

"Uh, wait, Shiori, I didn't blame Qingling or your thoughts!" Qingye waved his hand quickly.

"Thank you... Lord!" Qing Ling thanked softly.

"Since that's the case, is there no way to investigate the locations that were attacked last night?" Qingye looked at Qingling with some uncertainty and said.

"This... Lord, if those places were attacked by the same monsters last night, then the time of the day will dissipate, coupled with the investigation of the entry and exit of humans, the remaining demon power should have disappeared. Now." Qing Ling said embarrassedly.

"First of all, we must first determine whether it was a human or a monster..." Aoba thought about it. If it is really done by a terrorist, then this matter has nothing to do with him. Now, secular matters are handled by the police or the army, but if they are caused by monsters...

"Lord, what are you?" Qingling and Shizhi glanced at each other, looking at the lord suspiciously.

"Does the master want to take a look at the attacked places?" Nimf froze for a moment, then looked up and asked.

"I do think so. After all, seeing the scene with my own eyes can make a correct judgment, right?" Aoba said through the window, looking towards the urban area still shrouded in neon lights in the distance.

*********

This is the site of the incident closest to Sakura Sho, Toryo Shrine.

It is located in the Setagaya district next to the central city of Tokyo. It is a shrine that is said to have been established for a century. It is only a dozen kilometers away from the famous metropolitan university in Tokyo. So in terms of location, it is also a relatively densely populated shrine. local.

Just before yesterday, whether it was day or night, the streets that were always very noisy and crowded were also empty at this moment, as if they had entered the silent end of the day.

The midnight cold wind blew over a few fallen leaves, and it became even more cold. The only ones that appeared in front of Qingye now, except for the cracked masonry ground, were those in the distance, which appeared bright yellow under the light. The cordon is up.

Aoba shook his head helplessly, followed the long and narrow ramp in front of the shrine, and stepped onto the road paved with ancient blue stones.

The road is not too long, because this is a tourist sacred place, so the road on both sides is not covered with dense vegetation like Miyanoya Shrine, instead, there are many sales booths and Some stone carvings for decoration, but unfortunately, all of them are now in ruins, and even the stone road at the foot of Qingye has become a corpse road.

What happened last night, it would be so devastating.

Aoba no longer stayed, but walked straight up, passing through the vermilion torii gates, and after a while, he stood on the square in front of the Torin Shrine.

At this time, what should have appeared in front of him should be the main shrine of Torei Shrine. It is not the same as the Miyanoya Shrine that I have seen before. The main shrine here is a shrine that has been continuously repaired and rebuilt for decades. Modern retro buildings, and under the eaves and pillars of the main hall, are not the typical wooden railing windows, but glass curtains with a modern design.

Of course, this should have been the case, or it was still the case before yesterday.

And now there are only a few broken columns left in the main hall, few tiles on the roof, and the carved wooden eaves are no longer visible. There are only pieces of glass curtains left. Some fragments held together by metal nails are really miserable.

"Qingling, Shiori, and Nimf, please go and check it out, but remember to hide, maybe there will be other people nearby!" Qingye whispered.

"Okay, Master/Lord!" Three faint lights flashed, and the three of them went to look for traces.

Aoba looked around the square alone.

A few minutes later, he stood at the place where the original shrine was placed. From the location of the main hall, the wood chips and gravel scattered around seemed to be blasted from the inside. In this case... .....

"If it's a monster, it should have run out of this main hall, but why?" Aoba looked at the ruined main hall in confusion, shouldn't such a dangerous sealed item be placed deep in the shrine?

Extending from the position of the main hall, there is a small hall on the left side of the square. The construction structure is similar to that of the main hall. The direction in which the rubble was scattered should be directly hit by something.

Aoba looked back at the location of the main hall, then at the square that was like the center of the explosion, and finally at the direction of the small hall and the extent of its damage.

"Could it be that after knocking out the main hall, the thing came to the square first. From the perspective of the direction, the original purpose may have left here, and then I don't know what caused it to rush into the side hall next to it." Walking into the middle of the square again, looking at the trace in front of him as if he had been bombed, he was lost in thought.

"Master!" Nimf floated gently in front of Aoba.

"Nemuf, did you find anything?" Aoba raised her head and looked at Nimuf and asked.

"After a retrospective investigation on the information level, we found a little strange place. The initial incident should have started in an apse on the side of the shrine, but..." Nim Fu pointed to a direction behind the main hall and said.

"What's the matter, Nimf?" Aoba said in a puzzled manner. From his observations just now, the original incident should have been the main hall. Why was Nimf talking about the apse.

"According to the data from the source, it can be determined that the disaster was caused by a human, at least initially a human, and from the life characteristics detected in the apse, it is impossible for him to have the power to destroy this place like this, and the scene There is no trace of attacking with modern weapons, so it can be ruled out that the person is carrying a powerful weapon." Nimf said, looking at the cracked ground on the square in front of the main hall.

"In the beginning it was a human being? What does this mean, isn't it anymore? Or is it possible that the same person appears in the apse and the main hall?" Aoba asked suspiciously.

"The life data just found in the apse shows that the target is 99% likely to be an ordinary human, and there is no second independent individual that generates information interaction, which means that there is no second person." He shook his head lightly.

"Nimf, why are you always emphasizing the apse?" Aoba looked at Nemf in front of him.

"As for why he said that he was a human at first..." Nimf paused, and then pointed to the path next to the main hall.

"According to the information remaining on this road due to data interaction, that person came all the way from the apse to the main hall, and then due to some special reasons, there was an unknown change in the main hall, and he became incompletely human. But because of the strange interference, the message became blurred." Nimf said, looking at the ruins of the main hall.

"Interference? Can't even you analyze it?" Aoba was surprised~lightnovelpub.net~ can interfere with Nimf's ability, it can never be done by ordinary forces, at least it shouldn't be his body. What this world can do.

"That kind of power is very strange. I have never encountered such chaotic information. With the current system's capabilities, it is impossible to analyze it in ordinary ways. If it can activate the elementary particle interference system Aphrodite, it should be able to bypass the interference. Force to parse that segment that stays in the past time!" Nimf said.

"In that case, forget it!" Aoba shook her head, because this kind of thing puts Nimf into a forced sleep, it's not worth it.

"Lord, Lord, come and take a look, Sister Qing found something interesting!" With this bluffing voice, Shiwei, who had just followed Qingling to investigate, ran back.

"Shizhi? Where is Qingling?" Qingye asked suspiciously when he saw the excited Shizhi.

"Sister Qing is in the back hall, I'll show the way for the lord!" Shizhi pointed to the direction behind the main hall, and then signaled the lord to go back.

"Or the apse?" Aoba glanced at Nimf next to him, and then the two followed Shiori who was leading the way.
