That night, at the Prime Minister's official residence in Sakura City, the Superintendent of Police, dressed in a suit and tie, hurried into the residence under the protection of a group of police officers.
The Prime Minister's residence is now heavily guarded, with a guard every three steps. After the Superintendent of Police hurried in, he went directly into the conference room, where many senior government officials had been sitting upright and waiting for a long time.
The Prime Minister of Japan was sitting in the main seat. When he saw the Superintendent of Police enter the meeting room, he asked seriously, "How is it? Is there any new situation?"
"Inspector Kenichiro Hayashi of our department witnessed a ghost at the Furuta family's home in the Tsunwu community in Shinjuku. According to him, the entire neighborhood was shrouded in blood, covering the sky and the moon. Ghostly spirits were everywhere. The Furuta family has a big problem."
The Superintendent reported truthfully: "According to what they said, Furuta Junichiro and Furuta Miko should be like puppets, while Furuta Shizumi is a separate individual ghost."
"The Onmyoji who rescued them later pointed out that this was the same case as the case at the Fuji Sengen Shrine, and said, 'This is not something we can interfere with.'"
"In this case, the Onmyoji who appeared in the community should be the Kyogoku Qiong mentioned by the Sengen Shrine, right?"
The Prime Minister nodded and asked seriously, "Have you been to the Tsuchimikado Shinto? Did you find anything?"
An unknown minister answered, "According to the current head of Tsuchimikado Shinto, there are no Onmyojis with surnames like Kyogoku or Kyo in Tsuchimikado Shinto."
“It was within our expectation that we could not find any information.”
The Prime Minister nodded, not showing any disappointment. "As for the Yin-Yang Master who appeared in the Asada-cho incident in Gifu Prefecture the day before yesterday, do you think it was this Kyogoku Qiong?"
“Not sure.”
The Superintendent shook his head and said, "Based on the information we have about the Asada Town incident, there is no evidence of any witnesses who encountered this Onmyoji directly. The witness, Daisuke Asada, only saw the pentagram formation."
After that, the Superintendent paused and said, "The villagers of Asada Town have now been sent to the mental treatment center. Our police officers are guarding there and will avoid contact with normal people for the time being."
Asada-cho is a rural area, and everything is under control now, so not much news has leaked out. However, the Mount Fuji incident and the Shinjuku Ward incident are different.
The Prime Minister's face was slightly gloomy. He tapped the table with his fingers and asked, "How many people knew about what happened today?"
"Eleven students from the middle school, as well as the priest and shrine maiden from Sengen Shrine."
The Superintendent of Police said, "In Shinjuku, most of the residents were put into a dream by Kyogoku Qiong, and only one resident named Miyamoto Kuranosuke was able to see the truth."
"There were four casualties in the Mount Fuji incident, all of them were students. We have already prepared a preliminary press release. The students' words cannot be taken seriously. Even if they tell others, it will only be regarded as an urban legend."
The Superintendent of Police continued, "I hope that the Minister of Propaganda can promote some urban legends on the Internet to arouse the recent craze for urban legends. In this way, their truth will not be so noticeable."
The stupidest decision would be to directly delete the relevant messages on the Internet, which is simply an attempt to cover up one's own faults.
The best decision is to mix some true and false news to confuse the ignorant masses, so that people will think it is just a story.
The Minister of Propaganda nodded and said to the Prime Minister: "Your Excellency, I hope that Yingdu TV can host a new program in the near future to dispel the legends of urban legends. When the time comes, we can make up and decipher them ourselves, which should be able to appease the hearts of most people."
This "rumor" will eventually be debunked by Yingdu TV. In this way, no matter how exaggerated the stories said by those insiders, the mainstream public opinion will still be normal.
"Very good, let's do it this way."
The Prime Minister nodded and approved the plan among several ministers. He said, "Next, we have to talk about the Yin-Yang Master Kyogoku Qiong and the matter of the Demon Sealed on Mount Fuji."
"According to the information we have received so far, the source of the Mount Fuji incident is the same as the Shinjuku incident."
"Well, according to the news from Sengen Shrine, Kyogoku Qiong is the evil demon sealed under Mount Fuji, and the high school student Furuta was also invaded by the evil spirit, which led to the outbreak."
"According to the records of the Metropolitan Police Department, Furuta Shizumi committed suicide on July 15th. There was a reason for her suicide. This shows that before July 15th, the evil spirit had already invaded Sakura City!"
They got very little information from Kyogoku Qiong and could only get some results through speculation.
Of course, they will also push back.
"But it's also possible that all of this was done by Kyogoku Qiong. There are many evil Onmyojis. He might be one of those evil Onmyojis who use the lives of ordinary people to nourish and cultivate Shikigami. Everything he said was revealed to us on purpose."
At this point, the Prime Minister paused, looked into the eyes of the ministers present, and said in a low voice: "Gentlemen, no matter what, the rise and fall of the empire depends on this. The power beyond the mundane world will surely enable us to rise again!"
"I have decided to create a new department within the Metropolitan Police Department to specifically handle related matters."
The Japanese Prime Minister looked at the Superintendent of Police and said, "Mr. Matsushita, these matters are now in your hands. The personnel recruited for this department must be confidential and elite."
"clear!"
The Superintendent of Police looked stern, took out a piece of paper from his briefcase, handed it to the Prime Minister, and whispered, "Your Excellency, I wanted to make a relevant proposal. Here is my proposal and personnel arrangement. Please take a look."
"Hayashi Kenichirō is appointed as the Chief of the Investigation Section 1 of the Management Department, and Megure Twelve is appointed as the Chief of the Operation Section 1 of the Management Department."
The Prime Minister pondered the list. Most of the personnel arrangements on it were police officers who knew about the existence of supernatural beings, and there were only a few elite members of the Metropolitan Police Department who knew nothing.
"The personnel arrangement is reasonable, but why did you arrange Miyamoto Kuranosuke?"
The Prime Minister is not directly in charge of the Metropolitan Police Department and is not aware of its specific arrangements, but he knows Miyamoto Kuranosuke.
After all, it is very difficult to forget the name just mentioned.
"According to Hayashi Kenichiro, Miyamoto Kuranosuke seemed to have encountered a ghost before they arrived."
The Superintendent explained: "But he did not collapse like some villagers in Asada Town, nor was he killed by the ghosts of the Furuta family. He may have some unknown talent that may play a role at a critical moment."
"Therefore, the Metropolitan Police Department hopes to recruit him. Even if he has no special abilities, they can just treat him as a mascot."
"good."
The Prime Minister nodded and looked around at the ministers present: "Does anyone have anything else to say?"
"If not, let's adjourn the meeting!"
