Chapter 117 Chapter 117
The priest in a white robe with gold patterns stood on the tilted roof, holding a long staff and looking up at Qin Xiaocao on the huge scarecrow, then glanced at the faceless child floating in the air.
The scene was silent.
The handsome man frowned slightly, and just this subtle expression made the Faceless Child notice it. She slowly landed and stood on the roof of another house, and the illusion floating in the sky disappeared.
The priest looked at Qin Xiaocao, who shrank his head. The huge scarecrow slowly leaned over and sat down. The boy standing on the scarecrow's shoulders lowered his head and touched the handle of the sickle nervously.
【What's going on? What happened?】
[No more fighting.]
[Why? Just because this man said 'stop'???]
[I say, don’t you think it’s strange? Why do these two weird kids listen to him? ]
[I've long found it strange that these highly intelligent weirdos know each other.]
[Do you think it is possible that all these highly intelligent people come from one place? Or... one organization?]
[Wait, are you saying that... this new man is a high-ranking member of the organization, or maybe even the leader?]
[Are the faceless boy and this straw boy from the same organization? I don't think they have a good relationship.]
[I feel like this scene is a bit like when kids at home are fighting, and then everything calms down immediately after their mother shows up.]
[This should be Dad. ]
【Dad is not that stern.】
【Who says that fathers have no authority? In our country, patriarchy is unquestionable.】
[I won’t ask what country the man in front is from. Regardless, it is certain that these three weirdos know each other. In fact, the two children have interacted with this man quite a few times. At least he has established authority between the two children.]
[I feel like a lot of my brain cells are dying.]
【We don’t need to think about this, the officials of each country will consider it.】
The comments are correct.
Since the weird live broadcast has received great attention from all over the world, senior officials from various countries in the East and West have been paying attention to the weird live broadcast. From the beginning of the live broadcast, bigwigs from various countries have entered the live broadcast room one after another. While recording the live broadcast, they used notebooks to write down the words and deeds of the faceless child and the straw boy, their fighting movements, the tricks used, etc., and analyzed every detail without blind spots.
After the Curse Priest appeared, the reactions of the two strange children, especially their micro-expressions, were magnified countless times for analysis.

"Look at this recorded video. When the white light just appeared, the straw boy had already sensed it, and the little girl also stopped moving immediately. This means that when the man appeared, perhaps it was the space fluctuations caused, or perhaps something else, that allowed them to discover the man's arrival and recognize his identity before they saw him."
"They are familiar with this man."
"The little girl's face only has a mouth, so it's hard to tell what she's thinking from her micro-expressions. But the straw boy, you see, he turned his head away, lowered his head slightly, and looked away, which is a sign of guilt."
"The Scarecrow Boy knew that his behavior was not good, at least for this man, the Scarecrow Boy's behavior was inappropriate. This shows one thing, that the man in the white robe has the ability to restrain the Scarecrow Boy, no, it is more likely an order. And he had already warned the boy what not to do, or the boy knew what kind of behavior the man did not like to see. But he did it anyway, so he felt guilty."
"When he said 'Stop', the Scarecrow Boy and the Faceless Child stopped attacking. They looked at the man, waiting for his words, and only after he said stop did both sides withdraw their hostility."
"They obeyed the orders of men, not out of fear or dread, but out of spontaneous obedience."
A top micro-expression analyst from the US Bureau of Investigation, now a member of the Paranormal Investigation and Protection Department, pointed to the video on the big screen and explained it this way.
A group of middle-aged men in military uniforms listened to his explanation thoughtfully.
"So, how likely do you think it is that a strange organization exists?" asked a man with a mustache and many military medals in a deep voice.
The analyst pondered for a moment and said, "At least an 80% chance."
This type of analysis has also occurred in other countries.

"So, the weirdos not only know each other, but are also connected to each other and have a network of relationships, is that what you mean?" The woman in the light-colored suit frowned and said, "Then the crow weirdo who is regarded as the sacred bird of our country, Mr. Utor, do you think he is in the same group with these people in the weirdo live broadcast?"
“I think it’s highly likely.”
"Okay." The woman smiled helplessly. "Although I am the king of this country, I don't have much real power. If the parliament needs my cooperation..."
She didn't finish her words, believing that the man in front of her could understand.
The other party nodded and said, "Don't worry too much. The Bureau of Weird Investigation will take care of everything."
"I hope we are able to face this crisis." The Queen lowered her head and whispered, "Don't put all your hopes on Mr. Crow. Even if he is really willing to help us, there is only one powerful Crow."
"Yes, we all understand," the man replied.

In the country of Neon, in a conference room with a weird live video.
"What do you think about the information in the video?"
"These are all happening in China. I think we can negotiate with China..."
"What are you negotiating for? Asking them to lend us the Faceless Child?"
"We can't put all our hopes on them. We should build our own organization."
"By the way, Mr. Tanaka once submitted an application to build an Onmyoji Lodge to deal with monsters?"
"Yes, many years ago, our Yin Yang Liao was very powerful and could deal with ghosts and gods."
"Mr. Tanaka, that kind of story is just for fun. Have you seen the weird live broadcasts in our country? Even the shrines have become weird places. What do you expect the Onmyoji to help us with? Be reasonable. The Onmyoji we once had was in charge of divination, astronomy, and calendar-related work. Exorcism is just a legend."
"Now that all the weirdos have come out, can't we look forward to the Onmyojis? As far as I know, there are still some Onmyojis who are still being passed down."
"Yes, they are all the connections you can find. I believe that even if you rebuild the Onmyoji Ryo, it will eventually become an organization that is under your exclusive control."
"Mr. Sato, what do you mean? I am considering it for the sake of the people, not for my own selfishness."
"I think we should learn from other countries, like the United States, and set up a department to deal with weirdos. The people we recruit should not be Onmyojis, but graduates of police academies. Look, whether it is the United States or China, they all recruit talents in this way. Why do we have to seek the inheritance of Onmyojis in the past? It's really laughable."
"I think..."
The wrangling continues.

Si Zai watched the live broadcast on his phone and said to his adjutant Nong Xiangming, "Hey, you see, I said these weird things might be organized. Now it's exposed. What do you think the identity of this man is? One of the cadres of the organization, or even their leader?"
Nong Xiangming frowned and looked at the video on his phone: "Is this important?"
"Well... it's not that important." Si Zai said lazily, "We can't even find Bai Yixin. Even if this priest is the leader of their organization, he probably won't want to negotiate with us. And he's weird. To be honest, I don't really believe him."
“But now we have no choice but to rely on them.” Si Zai held his chin with his hand and sighed, “Whether they have an organization or not, we can’t ask, interfere, or stop them. If we could, the faceless little girl who opens her mouth when she’s fed would have already made it clear.”
"It is more important to judge whether the weirdos have malicious intentions towards people than whether they have an organization." Si Zai narrowed his eyes and stared at the expressionless face of the Curse Priest on the live broadcast screen, and whistled, "Not as handsome as me~"
Nong Xiangming glanced at him with disdain in his eyes.

All countries were discussing the man who suddenly appeared in the strange live broadcast, and when the man opened his mouth to say the next sentence, the high-level conference rooms of all countries were silent.
The only one who could influence the top leaders of so many countries at the same time and make them remain silent when he speaks is the curse priest who broadcasts weird live broadcasts.
"Come out." The curse priest looked behind a tree.
The paper man in white smiled even more broadly and walked out from behind the tree.
"Long time no see~" the paper man greeted the curse priest with a smile.
The Curse Priest frowned even lower, and the corners of his mouth slightly pursed up. His face, which had remained calm until now, finally revealed a hint of anger.
A very subtle, yet easily detectable anger.
"Are you angry?" The paper man raised his chin slightly and pointed his finger at his chin. "If I apologize, will you feel better?"
"That's an insincere apology." The Curse Priest said coldly.
"It's not my fault." The paper man shrugged slightly and crossed his arms. "It's not good to keep such a lively child in a cage all the time. Dogs need to be walked too, right?"
"I'm not a dog!" Qin Xiaocao angrily threw the sickle over after hearing this.
Seeing the sickle flying towards him with a cold glow, the paper man slightly tilted his head to avoid it. The sickle flew in an arc in the air and returned to Qin Xiaocao's hand.
When the curse priest tilted his head, Qin Xiaocao immediately lowered his head holding the sickle, but his lips were tightly pursed, and it can be seen that the boy was unwilling to accept the defeat.
Seeing that the scarecrow boy had behaved a little, the curse priest looked at the paper man again.
He said nothing, just watched in silence.
Finally, the paper man begged for mercy. He raised his hands and said, "Okay, there won't be a next time."
"That's better," said the Curse Priest.
It was at this moment that the strange live broadcast suddenly interrupted.
The next second, the Internet was in an uproar, and discussions about the Curse Priest flooded various platforms.
