Chapter 69: The Debut of Onmyojis!
Late night three days later, Hu Feng arranged another projection of Hitouban on the remote streets of Nakano, Tokyo, labeling it as an intermediate demon and it was difficult for a single team of trainee onmyojis to eliminate it .
Soon, several teams in Tokyo decided to cooperate with each other and head over to fight against it .
The five-person squad of Sumika had tasted the sweetness of the victory last time, so they also came over .
At the same time, Hu Feng made dozens of journalists belonging to different newspapers and television stations, who knew each other and often hung out together in a bar, leave the bar after being intoxicated at midnight, walking on the empty streets of Nakano .
It didn’t take long when something happened that woke up most news reporters!
Everyone saw a demon with a neck longer than seven meters and an ugly head, always ready to fly out and attack, actually appear in the center of the street with their own eyes .
What shocked these journalists more was that there were dozens of onmyojis dressed in white hunting suits, who were extremely tacit in casting spells and working together, besieging the demon with different onmyoji techniques .
Micro noise elimination barrier, micro movement forbidding barrier, five fireballs, earth wall and ice shield sheltering the party combatants, love-shaped spell interfering the mind of the demon projection......
The fortunate onmyoji who owned a shikigami drew a magic circle on the ground with props such as cinnabar and ash under the cover of his companions and he recited the summoning spell, trying to summon his exclusive shikigami to reality and fight for him .
“Peach Blossom Demon, who signed a contract with me and become my shikigami!”
“Slim boneless body, red and burning petals, scented aroma......”
“I order you to come to this world in the name of Taro Aso!”
The summoning circle began to flash two different colors of pink and green and a small peach tree that seemed as if shrouded in mist slowly emerged from the center of the circle .
In an instant, such magic like movie stunts that completely broke the rules of physics stunned the reporters and totally woke them up!
After being discovered, those trainee onmyojis wanted to escape, but the projection of Hitouban was directly controlled by Hu Feng, how could he allow these people leave and interfere with his plan?
Hence all the trainee onmyojis could only spent an entire hour eliminating the projection in front of the reporters helplessly .
Being surprised and shocked, these journalists with a hunger for news started taking photos with their cameras .
Some of the smarter reporters even took out their mobile phones to take close-up videos . At the same time, they didn’t forget to take a wonderful close-up of the faces of all the trainee onmyojis!
In the early morning next day, the news media community of Tokyo had a great impact!
About forty reporters from different newspapers and TV stations witnessed onmyojis fight against a demon and there was a great amount of evidence preserved on the mobile phones and cameras!
After considering it over and over, many of the news stations began reporting through their channels, since the government had never stipulated the news concerning onmyojis .
In just one day, the topic of onmyojis had gone viral and occupied the headlines on the Internet .
“Shock! The nights turned out to be guarded by the unknown heroes, the onmyojis?”
“Myths and legends come true! Contemporary Abe no Seimei? Up to 47 young onmyojis?”
“Tokyo is suspected to be occupied by demons! Fortunately, many young onmyojis fight for it?”
“When there is no sunshine, don’t go out! When the demons come, you can’t escape!”
“The incredible dark world! The lie that the government wants to cover is finally revealed!”
And those onmyojis who were captured by the journalists who recorded the battle which lasted dozens of minutes, were also recognized by the netizens who were extremely shocked!
Some netizens claimed that the one who drew magic circle and chanted spells under the cover of other onmyojis was their high school classmates, fat nerd Taro Aso!
There were also parents shocked to discover that their child like, Sumika, who had just been discharged from the hospital, slept early every night and locked the doors from inside, was actually the one who paid attention towards casting spells to bless her teammates in the video?
Many netizens felt uneasy when thinking that a demon required more than 40 people to besiege it and spend nearly an hour eliminating it......
If there were more demons messing around together, Tokyo would become a no-man’s land .
More ordinary netizens urged for the Japanese government to come up with a reasonable explanation . Why was there a demon in Tokyo? Who were those onmyojis?
Was the government already aware of the existence of demons and onmyojis and only the innocent civilians were kept unknown of the whole situation?
At the moment, debates began on the Internet .
The Japanese government, which had been annoyed by the public, tried to solve the problem .
Many members of the parliament, though having no way to stop tens of millions of Japanese netizens, could only deal with the trainee onmyojis whose faces had been photographed by the reporters!
When local police came to their doors with arrest warrants, the 47 trainee onmyojis whose faces had been exposed, had nowhere to escape and were easily arrested .
In the interrogation room, all the trainee onmyojis were individually interrogated .
“Name?”
“Ono Sumika . ”
“Where did the demon with the long neck come from?”
“I don’t know . ”
“How did you become an onmyoji?”
“I don’t know . ”
“Go out . Next!”
The members of the parliament didn’t order the follow-up procedure except arresting them with the help of Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department .
Considering the members of the parliament might put the onmyojis in important positions in the future, the policemen dared not offend them, so that no one tortured them .
In addition, no one could guarantee when these young onmyojis, who seemed to be obedient and cooperative with the trial, would became furious and cast the spells used against the demon last night to treat them, if they got tortured .
Therefore, what Sumika and others encountered at the moment was only a repetitive interrogation that separated them according to their gender .
