Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 61 Conjecture (Part )

Yang Liu could only think of one possibility regarding the extraordinary power that could influence an entire city.

"Official?... The supernatural forces are not hostile to each other, they just maintain a certain tacit understanding. It seems that the relationship between the supernatural forces and the official in this city is quite poor."

But under normal circumstances, the supernatural forces, as the local bullies, generally would not do such things. Even if they really had a conflict with the authorities, at least they would not show it so seriously on the surface.

And generally speaking, there should be conflicts between supernatural forces. Even if some supernatural forces have bad relations with the official authorities, it is not the case that all supernatural forces are hostile to the official authorities.

Moreover, in many cases, the supernatural forces have a lot of money and land, and they are also part of the "official" system in a social system like Japan.

The normal situation should be the same as what Yang Liu had seen in Tokyo. There are also various people dressed as monks and priests in the official forces. The official and local supernatural forces should be integrated with each other.

"So the previous inference was not quite right. What happened here should be a conflict between the 'local' and the 'central (harmonious) center.'"

Standing beside the subway platform waiting, Yang Liu was thoughtful.

Japan is different from China. Although they are nominally and in many cases appear to be one country, they actually still maintain some "traditional customs" left over from the Warring States Period.

For example: big name.

There is a word in Japanese called "Namshu", which refers to the owner of a piece of land. The person who can occupy a large piece of land can be called "Daimyo".

Up to now, the term "Da Ming" has not been used for a long time.

But in fact, many people just changed their names, calling themselves entrepreneurs or politicians, and their actual power in the local area is still no different from what they used to be.

In the island nation, the ancestors of many local councillors and governors are local daimyo.

Moreover, they are not ashamed of this during the elections, and will often even use their identities as descendants of daimyo to promote their campaigns to win votes.

It sounds like: my ancestors once ruled your ancestors, so you need to vote for me.

But this thing, which seems quite incredible to Chinese people, is very common and even respected by Japanese people.

Once, when a Hokkaido councillor took office, local newspapers celebrated the return of the family that once ruled them.

Of course, this is not to say that Japanese people are born to be so mean. There are some practical problems here.

According to statistics, politicians of common origin like to make money like crazy after taking office. As for the promises they made during the election, they have basically forgotten them and are only focused on finding ways to squeeze into the upper class.

As for those bureaucrats with a good family background... to put it bluntly, they all regard the local area as their own territory, and as "assets" to be passed down from generation to generation. It is naturally impossible for them to do whatever they want with their assets after taking office.

Politicians who come from common people's backgrounds will only make all the money and then flee to Tokyo, leaving a mess in the local area, and are completely inhumane.

Although the descendants of the daimyo are not that good, at least they can be considered human beings in terms of their behavior.

If this happens a few times, even a fool would know who to choose.

This is also the reason why Japan is called a "feudal country disguised as capitalism."

Under this premise, although it is rare for a "local" to resist the "central (harmonious) government", it is possible. "Then another question arises: what kind of thing happened that could make a city resist the government in this way?"

What happened in Fukuoka City was essentially a conflict between two forces, and there is only one fundamental reason for the conflict between forces: interests.

Obviously, the local interests of Fukuoka have been damaged for some reason, and the local forces in Fukuoka are unable to resist the national forces headed by Tokyo, so they can only resist by keeping silent.

"Economically? Not likely. Seizing and plundering other people's property is a taboo. If Tokyo really dares to do so, the Kansai faction headed by Kyoto will definitely not let go of this opportunity.

Moreover, ordinary people in Fukuoka did not feel much change, which shows that this benefit has nothing to do with ordinary people.

Then this so-called benefit is the extraordinary aspect..."

The sound of a subway train arriving at the opposite platform was heard. Yang Liu subconsciously looked up and saw the recommended Fukuoka tourist route next to the sign.

He saw the recommended Mount Mikazuki above, and subconsciously thought of what he had seen at the bottom of Lake Mikazuki there.

"This...can't be right?!"

This conclusion was so shocking that Yang Liu couldn't believe it at first.

But reason told him that the thing at the bottom of Lake Crescent Moon should be the real reason...at least one of the reasons.

After all, the ghost king at the bottom of the lake was obviously not a third-stage ghost, but in terms of the sense of oppression, Yang Liu had never encountered a ghost stronger than it.

Fortunately, that guy didn't seem to be interested in Yang Liu, so Yang Liu was able to escape at that time.

"Kazuo Kawamoto said that when he was a kid, the various supernatural forces in Fukuoka would hold exchange meetings, but they suddenly became alienated from each other starting from some year. If the lack of exchange meetings is the time when the conflict broke out, it means that something special must have happened at that time."

Yang Liu began to calculate silently:

"Kawamoto Kazuo didn't know the exact time and content of the exchange meeting, but he clearly remembered the miko at that time. She was in love for the first time and her memory of the time was unclear, so she was probably between 10 and 12 years old."

Although Kazuo Kawamoto looks rather haggard, based on Yang Liu's observation, he is actually only in his early 30s.

"So about twenty years ago, an extremely bad incident occurred in Fukuoka, causing a conflict between the local supernatural forces and the official forces of the country..."

Although Yang Liu only had a quick glimpse when he was at the bottom of the lake before, he also discovered many problems. Most of the water ghosts in the lake had completely lost their consciousness, leaving only pure hatred for the living.

Only a few water ghosts can still retain consciousness, and most of them are on the verge of dementia.

From what Yang Liu saw, the Ghost King probably had the ability to absorb the resentful power of other evil spirits to strengthen himself, otherwise it would be impossible for the Ghost King to reach that level.

Correspondingly, because the resentment has been extracted, those water ghosts at the evil spirit level can maintain their sanity longer than normal evil spirits.

Combined with Yang Liu's understanding of various ghosts, this time point also matches the status of the evil spirits in Sanriku Lake.
