"The leader of the Kuki group is Kuki Heihachiro?"
Hema frowned slightly, looked up at Kurosaki after getting Jinshan's confirmation, and both nodded in tacit agreement.
Kuki Heihachiro was cut down by Kazuma when he was blocked by the mountain road, but the Kuki group still organized this night attack on Kiryu Dojo.
This proves that someone has long replaced Kuki Heihachiro in giving orders to the Kuki group, and it is self-evident who it is.
Objectively speaking, the Jidao Gang is also an organizational entity, but an organizational entity must have a stronghold to meet its command and dispatch needs.
Just like the development office of the Jinshan Group, the organization stronghold is also the center where its leader issues orders. In other words, there is a high probability that the mastermind behind the scenes is hiding near the stronghold of the Kuki Group.
"Caught it."
The corner of Hema's mouth curved slightly, and then he picked up the wine cup and drank it down in one gulp.
**
However, Martha did not take immediate action, and the banquet did not end until midnight.
The entry "Dojo Mistress (Temporary)" on Chiyoko's head is still shining.
Considering the nature of the system, Kazuma reckons that until Chiyoko gets married, or until he marries his wife, that entry will bless his sister semi-permanently, which makes Kazuma speechless.
But as far as the facts are concerned, Chiyoko herself has worked very hard in her training, and her affection for the dojo is far more than that of Kazuma.
The invasion of the Kiryu Dojo by the Nine Ghosts this time stimulated the tigress in her heart, so she stepped through the door of the integration of mind and skill, and obtained the official certification of the hostess (temporary), which is also quite logical.
Marsha knows Chiyoko's hard work better than anyone else—whether it's academics, kendo, or love.
Because of this, he showed relief, and at the same time secretly reminded himself that in the future, if there is nothing to do in the dojo, don't make Chiyoko angry.
With the help of the Jinshan group to deal with the aftermath, the night attack on the dojo by the nine ghost group was treated as an ordinary fight between gangs and settled down.
The drunk Jinshan Heita was taken away by his subordinates that night, and Chiyoko also went out to school after dawn.
Hema also yawned and went back to the room to sleep for a while, but was woken up by Qingliu after a while, saying that Tamamo had made progress.
Kazuma followed Qingliu to the living room, and saw Kurosaki waiting there early.
In the living room, there are messy piles of materials for the door-opening experiment, and there are also many hand-painted manuscripts.
Yuzao in front of the coffee table frowned and stared at the drawing on the manuscript paper. She was yawning slightly when she and Ma entered the door, showing a rare lazy and sleepy look.
"How's the situation?" He Ma sat down in front of the coffee table, looking at his own fox with a little distress.
"Well, I think I probably figured it out." Yuzao put down the manuscript and rubbed her temples with her fingers.
"Yes, teacher has worked hard." Not far away, Kurosaki also bowed his head to Tamamo.
When Kazuma introduced Tamamo to Kurosaki earlier, he said that she was an expert in mysterious affairs. After that, Kurosaki respected "Mr. Jinguji" very much.
Originally, things related to the mysterious side should not be known to ordinary people, but Kurosaki himself was a victim of the door-opening experiment, and he also fought against Shigehiro Genji, so he made an exception and let him participate in the discussion.
However, the content of the discussion is required to be kept confidential, and it will not involve core secrets such as Yuzao's real body.
"That bastard, Genji Shigehiro, did it quite covertly. I watched it many times before I noticed... Tsk, I don't think that guy with a stone head can come up with such a clever disguise. It's probably done with the help of Fuji Technology."
Tamamo let out a sigh mingled with resentment, and handed Kurosaki a manuscript paper with numbers written on it.
"I'll show you guys... Kurosaki-kun, can you fast-forward the video for me?"
"Yes." Kurosaki who took the manuscript ran to the video recorder and lowered his head to operate it.
Cassette tapes are commonly used image carriers in this era, and the latest VCRs that play tapes on the market already have remote control functions.
However, the VCR at the Kiryu Dojo is an old-fashioned model even in the 1980s, and it was bought by Heita Nishikiyama from some pawnshop.
Jinshan's original intention was to give Kiryu Dojo some advanced modern equipment. Unexpectedly, this became the biggest excuse for Masha to refuse Qingliu to buy a new video recorder.
Whenever Qingliu begged to buy a VCR to play concert videos, Hema would tell her sincerely: CD will become the latest carrier in a short time, and I have a broken VCR at home and it will be used up.
However, this "soon" may last as long as ten years.
Anyway, Hema is just trying to save money by changing ways.
This broken video recorder does not have the operation panel of the latest model at all, nor does it have the function of directly jumping the time. It can only be adjusted by winding the tape like a tape recorder.
Kurosaki Teruyumo asked to fast-forward the video to a certain point in time, and then the beautiful scenery of the gurgling water in the forest was shown on the TV.
Everyone stared at the screen intently, and they didn't seem to find anything unusual after watching a paragraph.
When everyone was confused, Tamamo asked Kurosaki to play it again at one-eighth speed. Slow motion makes this broken machine make a worrying noise.
After the speed slowed down this time, when everyone looked over again, they really noticed an abnormality in the camera between a section of woods and running water.
"Huh? Something seems to have flashed by?"
"That's right, it's obviously different from the front and back scenery..."
"Kurosaki-kun, can you play it again? Pause the screen at the place where there is a problem."
Kurosaki, who answered "yes", turned into a humanoid remote control and stood in front of the video recorder for a moment. After repeating the operation five or six times, I finally caught that fleeting image and stopped the screen at that moment.
Everyone raised their eyes and saw a strange pattern that had never been seen on the screen. The pattern is composed of thick and thin long and short twisted black lines, which looks like a certain type of charm, and the overall impression is quite ominous.
"What is this?" He Ma asked with a frown.
"Well, it can roughly be regarded as some kind of mind-disturbing spell. If you stare at it for too long, it will make you dizzy or even insane. You should be careful." Yuzao's words made everyone quickly look away from the screen, pay attention Force back to the fox.
"That is to say, Shigehiro Genji hid the mind-disturbing charm in the image of the video tape, so that the experimenter was unknowingly affected?" Hema Xiangyuzao confirmed.
From a biological point of view, the dynamic image that the human eye can distinguish is about 60 turns per second. Using technical means to mix a little foreign matter that cannot be detected by the human eye in the 60 turns will make people's mind unconsciously Affected—Hema vaguely remembered that he had heard of a similar experiment before time travel.
The experimenter mixed some violent scenes into a normal video. As a result, the testers who watched the video showed a tendency to be irritable and aggressive without noticing it.
What Shigehiro Genji did was about the same as this, except that he replaced the violent scenes with more vicious brainwashing. As for those picturesque scenes and soothing music, the effect is probably to break down the participants' defenses, so that they are more likely to accept the influence.
"Is there such a thing?" After hearing the explanation with Ma, Qingliu's eyes widened. This was obviously a big shock to her who loves TV dramas.
"I'm even more surprised that the police department knows such a trick... It should be said that he really deserves to be a student of the University of Tokyo?" Kurosaki Tokazuma cast admiring gazes.
"Well, since that's the case, I don't need to explain any more, so let's just say the conclusion." Yuzao flicked her fingers happily, and pushed a piece of manuscript paper with spells on it to the center of the coffee table.
"Dozens of places in that video have been tampered with, but generally speaking, there are only two types of charms. One is the kind of spirit-disturbing spells just now. In fact, the actual effect of this type of spells is closer to Bury a back door in the spirit of the participants so that the performer can go in and do tricks later."
"The participants in the door-opening experiment all had a period of frequent strange dreams, and that was the nightmare-eating tapir... Evidence of Shige Hong Yuanji's tampering?" He Ma confirmed.
"Yes, that guy is good at playing tricks in his dreams. It would be easier for him to do whatever he wants if he bury the back door." Yuzao nodded.
"... Caixiang was like this at that time?" Kurosaki asked in a deep voice.
"No, your Caixiang's situation is a bit special, in fact, this is what works for her." Yuzao said, pointing to another type of charm drawn on the manuscript paper, "This type of charm is used to stimulate the spiritual sense of."
Although the mysterious law has declined much compared to the past, as long as it is a living creature, there are more or less hidden spiritual powers. Humans are certainly more so.
That type of charm touches the potential spiritual power of the person involved by stimulating the spiritual sense. People with higher potential spiritual power are more likely to be stimulated, which in turn leads to a strong sense of discomfort.
"In the past, some shrines used this method to select witches, but they were slowly abolished because it was too troublesome to deal with the sequelae." Yuzao looked at Kurosaki and said, "From the description, your daughter's potential spiritual power should be quite high, I'm afraid there is no Not to lose to the priestess who presided over the ritual in the past. This is almost rare in the current era, so Shigehiro Genji will take the risk of taking her away... I think she will be fine, after all, it is difficult to find her replacement. "
Hearing Tamamo's assurance, Kurosaki let out a long sigh of relief.
"Wait a minute, let me tidy up." Hema raised his hand and called a pause, sorting out the gathering so far, "That is to say, the purpose of Zhong Hongyuan's organization of the door-opening experiment is to find people with potential spiritual power. people, and plant a back door to control them to do something?"
Yuzao nodded and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Yes, that guy has done similar things before, but this time, the scale is unprecedented."
Hearing the fox's announcement, Kazuma and Kurosaki couldn't help but look at each other. They who have been investigating this matter know it all too well.
So far, the number of lost people on the streets of Tokyo has almost exceeded four figures, and the number of people who have participated in the door-opening experiment is even tens of thousands. Although it is not known exactly how many psykers have been brainwashed, it is an appalling scale no matter what.
"So, what exactly is that guy planning to do with such an attack?" He Ma asked slowly.
"Well, that's about all that can be seen from the experimental data, as for the rest..." Yuzao shook his head, but his eyes moved to the old lacquer box at hand. He Ma moved his gaze over there, and found that the lacquer box looked familiar to him.
"For the rest, you just use divination?" He Ma confirmed. For the fox who has acquired various techniques out of her exuberant curiosity, various types of divination are also her very proud stunts. "what's the result?"
"Well, it's hard to say whether it's good or bad... Have you heard of 'sorcery'?" Tamamo, who was knocking on the lacquer box, suddenly threw out a term that Kazuma had never heard of.
"A seance?" What's that? And the horse winked.
"In the past, the priestesses used magic spells, borrowing the power of serving the gods to fight demons, and sometimes they can even partially change the current world's law test... It's quite difficult to deal with?" Yuzao said in a deeply emotional tone, "But in modern times, the gods With the monsters retreating behind the scenes, no one should know how to use the spirit descending technique long ago, and I am also wondering what it means... "
