"The successor of Tsuchimikado?!"
Listening to the Superintendent's report, the current Japanese Prime Minister, Miyazaki Shuei, could hardly conceal his shock, but even more so, he was filled with ecstasy. "What's going on? I remember visiting Tsuchimikado a few months ago. Why didn't Tsuchimikado's successor show up then?"
Tsuchimikado Shinto can be traced back to the Heian period. It is the Onmyoji sect founded by Abe no Haruaki. Onmyoji was popular in the Heian and Edo periods.
Tsuchimikado Shintoism is based on the Chinese theory of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the Eight Trigrams. Its main activities include astronomical research, calendar compilation, divination of directions, good and bad luck, prayers, and exorcism of demons and ghosts to balance the Yin and Yang energy in the world. Its activities are held in the Onmyoji Ryo officially established by the ancient Japanese state.
Abe Haruaki's direct descendants are the Tsuchimikado family, which has been a prominent family organization in Japan from the Edo period to the Meiji period.
However, after the Meiji Restoration, Tsuchigumo was abolished, and Onmyoji was also abolished. However, there were still many branches headed by the Tsuchigumo family, who secretly formed the "Tsuchigumo Shinto Association", which has been passed down to this day.
When the extraordinary event happened, Miyazaki Shuei was the first to visit Tsuchimikado Shinto, and then he visited Kankai Yukoji Shinto and Harima Shinto, but he returned empty-handed, thinking that the Onmyoji tradition had been lost in the long river of history.
However, the sudden appearance of Tsuchimikado's successor made Miyazaki Shuei extremely happy, but under this joy, there was still a hint of doubt.
Why did everyone say there were no extraordinary abilities when I went to the Three Gods Road before, but now there is a successor?
This thought flashed through Miyazaki Shuei's mind, but he hid his emotions well and said with a pleasant face, "Where is the successor of Tsuchimikado now? Take me to see him!"
"According to our information, the heir of the Tsuchimikado family is currently traveling around every corner of Sakura City."
The Superintendent replied, "They have slain demons and monsters, saving at least 40 lives so far. The goddess of Sengen Shrine, Hashimoto Moku, is now appearing in Sakura City, wandering around unpredictably, but she has also achieved remarkable results."
The Superintendent's answer was clear, but Miyazaki Shuei also understood the message revealed in the Superintendent's words.
That is, Hashimoto Maku, the goddess of Sengen Shrine, has a worse record than Tsuchimikado's successor, and she only said that to improve her reputation.
Although Miyazaki Shuei understood the news, he didn't do anything foolish to discriminate. Instead, he smiled and said, "Since the goddess of Sengen Shrine and the heir of Tsuchimikado are in charge of Sakura City, these mere demons and monsters should be dealt with quickly."
"Prime Minister Miyazaki, there is one more thing you need to know."
After the incident involving the Tsuchimikado heir had passed, the Superintendent continued solemnly, "Similar murders have occurred in major cities outside of Sakura."
"Especially in a town in the mountains of Fukuoka Prefecture, over 500 people died in their homes. Not a single one survived!"
The Superintendent smoothed his graying hair and continued, "Our Metropolitan Police Department alone has handled over four hundred criminal cases overnight. According to our professionals, preliminary estimates indicate that there have been over eight hundred cases nationwide!"
"Eight hundred, overnight?"
Miyazaki Shuei realized the severity and urgency of the matter. Although the disasters in various places were not as serious as in Sakura City, the combined disasters could turn the world upside down and subvert Japan!
There are no other places like Tsuchimikado's successor and Sengen-sha's goddess!
"Immediately enter a state of full martial law and distinguish between ghost incidents and human-caused incidents!"
Miyazaki Shuei instantly thought of some remedial measures: "In the coming period, there is a high probability that someone will commit crimes in the name of ghosts and gods. Your task is to distinguish between ghosts and gods and human beings, and punish those murderers who are human beings!"
Miyazaki Shuei was well aware that once such incidents of murders by ghosts and gods became known to the public, many people would soon begin to imitate the crimes in order to release the repression and bestiality in their hearts, and then disguise the crimes as being committed by ghosts and gods so as not to bear legal responsibility.
There is never a shortage of perverts in the world, it’s just that people lack the eyes to discover perverts.
"Please rest assured, we understand."
The Superintendent nodded solemnly and continued, "But what about those cases involving ghosts and gods?"
"I will communicate with all the supernatural forces." Miyazaki Shuei said helplessly.
Ghosts are different from others. Although the worms of the Destroyer Organization are terrifying, bullets can still cause damage. But what about ghosts? Can bullets hit ghosts?
It's very helpless. Ghosts can kill people, but people can't touch ghosts. This is the most important problem facing the Japanese government.
The Superintendent nodded and was about to leave the Prime Minister's room when Miyazaki Shuei suddenly spoke up, "By the way, if you encounter Tsuchimikado's successor while on duty, please let me know. I'd like to meet him."
"clear!"
The Superintendent did not seem surprised and nodded slightly before leaving the Prime Minister's room.
Inside the room, Miyazaki Shuei half leaned on a chair, took off his glasses, and rubbed his temples lightly, feeling a little overwhelmed.
Miyazaki Shuei knew that in the near future, Japan would undergo earth-shaking changes.
But it probably has nothing to do with him anymore. Now he just needs to do his job well and make the final ending more friendly to the Japanese people. This is all he can do in the end.

"Thank you, Onmyoji, thank you for saving my life. Thank you, thank you!"
