Kyoto, Kita-ku Kinkaku-ji Temple.Kinkaku-ji Temple is also known as Rokuen-ji Temple, and it is one of the most historically Buddhist temples in Kyoto.However, the current Kinkakuji Temple is not an ancient temple built during the Shogunate period, but a temple that was rebuilt on the same site after the Kinkakuji arson incident 25 years after the Showa era."
Report, the target is in the temple."
Outside Kinkakuji Temple, facing Sakai, who heard the news, the special raiding troops saluted and reported."
Are you sure?"
Hearing the report of the special assault force, Sakai looked up again at the golden temples on the river."
We investigated the whereabouts of the monks along the way, and found that after completing the rituals, they walked back to Kinkaku-ji and have not come out again, and according to the answers of the people around Kinkaku-ji, they did see a group of monks wearing canopies passing by and entering Kinkaku-ji in the morning."
Hearing the investigation of the special assault force, Sakai frowned.He had thought that the statues would be hidden after getting the heads of the monks of Kinkakuji.Unexpectedly, they actually returned to the temple in such a grand manner."
Do the rest of the monks of Kinkakuji know about their anomalies?"
Shaking his head, the special assault force said."
Not yet."
Hearing the answer of the special assault force, Sakai breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly gave orders."
In that case, let's take a quick action and send a small team of members of the special assault force to infiltrate the residences of the Kinkakuji monks who have returned from Horikawa High School, and take advantage of the fact that the casualties have not yet occurred, and deal with them all."
Judging from the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department's investigation of Tanaka's case.These headless statues weren't too dangerous, even ordinary high school students were able to smash them with their own strength, let alone a small squad of well-equipped special assault troops.Although, for now, these headless statues that have returned to Kinkakuji Temple seem to be as usual, faithfully playing their identity as monks.However, this is only if the head on their neck is intact.Once the monk's head around the statue's neck is rotten or destroyed, the statue will revert to its killing appearance in order to get a new one."
Remember, don't cause too much damage to Kinkakuji as a last resort, especially those important relics."
Kinkakuji Temple is an important historical relic, and it cost 740 million yen to restore it, and it is called the "Showa Great Restoration".In the unlikely event that he suffered any damage during the operation, it was not something Sakai could compensate for."
Yes."
In fact, even without Sakai's reminder, the members of these special raid units were aware of the importance of Kinkakuji.Therefore, they nodded, and the expression on their faces became a little more solemn.It was necessary to carry out the operation without destroying the Kinkakuji Temple itself as much as possible, and even the people of the special raid force felt the enormity of this task.Under Sakai's gaze, the special assault troops entered the Kinkakuji Temple in an orderly manner.The monks in the temple had already been notified in advance, so although their expressions were uneasy, they still cooperated and did not make much movement.Bang bang - just as the special assault force entered the world where the returning monks had not been long in coming, the sound of rapid gunfire rang out from the temple courtyard.Hearing these gunshots, the corners of Sakai's eyes couldn't help but twitch a few times.I secretly prayed in my heart that these special assault troops would not go too far inside the temple.After a short period of gunfire from the "......", the entire Kinkakuji Temple was obviously inexplicably quiet.Without giving a specific reason, hearing the sound of gunfire ringing from inside the temple, the expressions of the entire Kinkakuji monks were a little uneasy.They clasped their palms together and chanted the scriptures.However, from the trembling palms, it can be seen that the hearts of these monks are not at peace.Fortunately, there is no time to be quiet for too long.The special assault force of the operation returned."
Wait a minute, let me look at your necks!"
Looking at these special raiding troops returning with neat steps, Sakai's face did not relax in the slightest, but ordered with a serious face.Hearing Sakai's order, the members of the Special Assault Force stopped, then pulled down their necklines to reveal their unswound necks.Seeing this, Sakai breathed a sigh of relief.…… However, the next day.Sakai realized that his breath was a little too loose.Arrange for the Metropolitan Police Department to follow up on the broken headless statues and the heads of the monks in Kinkakuji.In the Metropolitan Police Department, there were many calls from the police, saying that there were many inexplicable figures near Horikawa, and these people appeared in various places in Horikawa, maintaining various strange postures and motionless, and some of them had even affected the surrounding traffic conditions.Doodle!
On the busy streets, a large number of vehicles were blocked on the road, and they honked their horns at the motionless figure at the intersection, making the already noisy scene even more chaotic."
Is this the person mentioned in the police?"
Received an alarm call and came to the scene.Sakai couldn't help but frown as he looked at the figure at the intersection with his arms raised as motionless as a scarecrow, and the anxiety in his heart became a little heavier.The men who appeared passing by were not alone, in fact, there were similar scenes throughout Horikawa.These people have different identities, ages, and even occupations, but they suddenly stop around as if they had made an appointment, maintaining this inexplicable posture.Doodle!
Faced with the increasingly noisy horns around him, Sakai asked the Discovery Patrolman."
Haven't you tried to get it out of the area?""
It's already tried, but no matter how much we try to drive them away, it won't be long before they're back where they were found."
Arranged for the traffic police to continue to sort out the chaotic traffic conditions around him, and Sakai walked in front of the man.As he got closer, Sakai gradually saw the man's appearance clearly.This is a middle-aged man who looks like he is thirty or forty years old, but there is nothing special about his appearance."
Hello, sir."
Holding out his ID to the man, Sakai watched as he held his arms motionless.Under normal circumstances, it doesn't take too long for ordinary people to maintain such a posture, and they will not be able to hold on, but the man in front of him did not have any expression of difficulty on his face, he just raised his arms with a numb expression."
I'm a police officer in the Metropolitan Police Department, everything you have done has had a certain degree of impact on social order, I need to know that you, and those like you, are doing this for reasons?".
