Chapter 92 Dream Analysis and the Whereabouts of the Finger

"This is the situation, Your Excellency the Priest!"

There is a small conference room with extremely exquisite decoration inside the Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau. This kind of conference room is generally used to entertain senior leaders to discuss work.

Therefore, the room has excellent sound insulation and confidentiality, and Minister Miki chose it as the discussion venue for this meeting based on this consideration.

The long box next to Ryuji Takasaka is the "Ame-no-Habezan" that Minister Miki returned to Ryuji Takasaka after he was discharged from the hospital.

The priest took the teapot handed over by Minister Miki, poured the tea gracefully into the teacup, lowered his head slightly to take a sip, and then placed it on the coffee table.

"If, as Minister Miki said, the memory in Mr. Takasaka's dream is the previous life of Ryomen Sukuna, it reminds me of a detail I noticed during the operation that day."

After saying this, the priest picked up the tablet from the coffee table and started dragging the progress bar of the video.

After a moment, he placed the tablet on the table and motioned for the two to come over.

Ryuji Takasaka and Minister Miki looked at each other, then stood up and stood on the left and right of the priest.

The scene on the screen showed that after Ryoumen Sukuna's right arm was cut by Takasaka Ryuji using Ame-no-Habe Slash, black mist continued to emerge and surge towards Takasaka Ryuji.

The priest paused for a moment, as if he was organizing his words.

"Ryoumen Sukuna once said that Susanoo stole a bit of his divinity from him through a sneak attack."

"Considering the only sneak attack that occurred during the battle, I guess that the black mist is most likely the divinity held by Ryoumen Sukuna."

"Perhaps Susanoo hasn't taken it away yet, or maybe he has taken it away but some of it remains, so it remains in Takasaka Ryuji's body!"

"That's why I was able to obtain the memories of Ryomen Sukuna contained in the black fog in my dream!" After hearing the priest's explanation, Takasaka Ryuji's eyes lit up and he quickly added that he also understood the meaning of the other party's words after the priest's analysis.

"But how did Susanoo manage to plunder the divinity of Ryomen Sukuna? Could it be that gods can devour each other so easily?"

Hearing Minister Miki's question, the priest asked back as if he had expected it.

"Before I explain, do you remember the source of the divine power that Ryoumen Sukuna vaguely revealed?"

"Myths, legends and beliefs!" Minister Miki quickly answered the priest's question. This was the result of everyone's discussion in the meeting after the operation, and he naturally would not forget it.

The priest put his hands on his knees, straightened his back, and said seriously.

"In fact, I was concerned about the black fog when I saw it that day!"

"So after the meeting, I read a lot of legends about Susanoo in the library of the shrine. According to Ryoumen Sukuna's theory, I found a rather far-fetched explanation."

"That is, in the myth, Susanoo once won the bet with Amaterasu and stayed in Takama-ga-hara. Can this experience of Susanoo also be misinterpreted as Susanoo usurping the power of Amaterasu?"

Minister Miki found it hard to accept the priest's explanation.

“Isn’t this explanation a bit too forced?”

But the priest replied seriously, "Before that, Susanoo was drunk by the Yamata no Orochi. Isn't it too much to extend the power of the seal through this allusion?"

After hearing the priest's explanation, Minister Miki was speechless.

If that is the case, every detail in the myths and legends is very likely to extend to a huge amount of power effects!

How should we identify the gods that appear next time?

As if seeing through Minister Miki's worries, the priest shook his head and comforted him.

"But at least during the battle, Susanoo did not use any other strange abilities, and his main means of fighting the enemy was not much different from the legend."

"Perhaps we can understand that Susanoo's abilities extending from mythology are somewhat limited!"

"Of course, it is also possible that my guess is wrong, and they may really be able to devour each other."

"I hope so!"

The scene seemed quiet for a moment.

"Your Excellency, the last part of Ryoumen Sukuna's memory, the red-armored warrior..."

"That person was ordered by Takeshi Takeo to kill Sukuna..."

"Actually, what I want to say is that after Ryoumen Sukuna was dismembered by the samurai, his body was handed over to the priests and monks to be sealed in their respective shrines and temples."

"I have a guess. Could it be that Ryoumen Sukuna's finger is still stored in the major shrines of the time?"

After hearing Takasaka Ryuji's guess, Minister Miki put his hands hard on the table with a "bang", and a hint of realization appeared in his eyes.

The priest and Minister Miki looked at Takasaka Ryuji belatedly. They had previously focused on why Takasaka Ryuji had acquired the memory, but had somewhat overlooked the details of the memory.

"Could it be?"

The priest and Minister Miki looked at each other, and then expressed their guesses in unison.

"Ryomen Sukuna, the rest of his fingers are still kept in various top shrines and temples?"

Minister Miki's eyes lit up. If it was verified to be true, it would be great news for them. It meant that they could take the initiative and collect Ryoumen Sukuna's fingers in advance.

On the one hand, it prevents Tetsuya Yamagami and the mysterious masked man from taking away the finger, and on the other hand, it means that the officials can choose to create their own extraordinary!

Takasaka Ryuji is coveted by Ryomen Sukuna so much, but he is unable to possess his body, and even needs the help of Yamagami Tetsuya's body to get close to him. It is not difficult to guess that the safety of just one finger is still guaranteed.

Needless to say, the finger has many uses after being obtained, the most guaranteed use being as a sample for research.

On the bright side, maybe we can create the ability serum that often appears in movies.

Even if we are more bold, it is possible to deduce the truth about the power of gods!

Minister Miki was so angry that he couldn't wait to report to the higher-ups and request to turn all the shrines and temples across the country upside down!

…

In the corridor, the priest and Minister Miki watched Takasaka Ryuji leave first, and then the priest looked at Minister Miki with a complicated expression and spoke.

"The reason why Ryoumen Sukuna chose Takasaka Ryuji as his host is definitely not as simple as his outstanding talent. Why didn't you mention this to him?"

Minister Miki sighed slightly when he thought of this, and took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms. Just as he was about to take action, he saw the disgusted expression on the priest's face, and put it back into his pocket with a slight apology.

"Don't you think it's unreasonable for Takasaka Ryuji to be able to intercept and absorb Ryoumen Sukuna's memories so easily?"

"That's something that Susanoo was willing to set up a trap and take it personally!"

"you mean?"

Minister Miki opened his mouth and was about to express his speculation, but after some hesitation, he chose to give up.

"It just feels like something is odd."

"Have you made any progress in the investigation of the God of Disobedience?"

"I have looked through ancient texts and have never heard of any similar term. The literal meaning is 'disobedient spirit', which makes sense considering Susanoo's rebellion against his father, but it would be fooling yourself to take this explanation seriously."

"That's a shame. My intuition tells me that 'God of Disobedience' is definitely not a randomly made-up word! It must have an important meaning!"

"By the way, with such a big change happening in Taidi City during this operation, can you really continue to sit in this position?"

Minister Miki showed a hint of relief on his face.

"Wouldn't it be great if I quit my job? At least I can spend some time with my family."
