I made up myths in America

Chapter 153 Sealing Magic Array, Descendants of Seimei

A thick white fog enveloped everything around.

Before the specific situation was clear, the Osaka Police Department did not even dare to send people into the mountains rashly.

They opted for a safer approach, sending helicopters to disperse large amounts of dry ice, silver iodide, and other chemical catalysts above the fog layer.

Their function is to cause the air temperature inside the Aidang Mountain to drop sharply, and to use silver iodide as a condensation nucleus to allow water vapor to condense into water droplets quickly, thereby accelerating the settling.

The direct consequence of this approach was that, as soon as they entered the mountains, Hiyori and Yako, who had exited their stealthy state, felt a chill. With winter approaching, the already low temperature in the Atago Mountains of Kyoto had dropped even further.

However, the two of them couldn't care less about that at the moment. They stared wide-eyed at a group of heavily armed figures in the hazy fog ahead, quickly clasped hands, and re-entered stealth mode, quietly following behind them.

"No way??!"

After following them for a while, Flying Eagle found the group of men in black suits increasingly familiar. Finally, he noticed a familiar label on one of the suits, confirming his suspicions.

Well, it's those persistent bastards from the Life Foundation again. Didn't the Osaka police already seal off the entire Atago Mountain? How did they let them in?
"Flying Eagle, do you know them?" Yako, noticing the strange look on her companion's face, whispered.

"Ah."

Eagle nodded, and lowered his voice as well, saying, "The Life Foundation, a multinational corporation that's frantically searching the world for supernatural powers, must have the backing of those Jewish tycoons in the United States."

Not surprising then.

Ya Zi's face showed a look of understanding.

After all, in Japan, even the Emperor's words might not carry as much weight as those of the U.S. Commander-in-Chief at Yokota Air Base.

If this Life Foundation truly has a Jewish financial background, there are a hundred ways to get into Mount Atago.

That being said, since the enemy was in the open while they were in the dark, neither Flying Eagle nor Yako was too panicked. They followed the group of Life Foundation members and soon passed through layers of fog, arriving at an old house located in a dense bamboo forest.

It seems someone had already tampered with the mechanisms inside, and this eerie residence with its strong Shogunate style is now fully revealed.

Two stone figures, each positioned on either side of the main gate, stared at them with their dark, round eyes, each carrying a simple, ancient stone lantern.

At this moment, a faint green flame was burning inside the lantern, and the eerie green light spread out, making the already gloomy house even more terrifying. It even made people feel that the open door in front of them led not to a normal place, but to the underworld.

"Gulu."

The Life Foundation security personnel, who had walked without making a sound and appeared very professional, got goosebumps all over at the sight. They unconsciously swallowed and looked at Wesker, who was standing at the front of the group, wearing sunglasses and remaining unfazed by the bizarre scene.

No wonder they became extraordinary; look at their mental fortitude!
Amid the admiring gazes of the security guards, Wesker stood there seemingly expressionless, but in reality, he was somewhat dazed.

Since entering this mountainous area, the voice that had been faintly appearing in his mind had become clearer and clearer, carrying an irresistible force that led him into the residence of the Sanmi family in Kyoto and to the magic sealing array located underground.

"Do not!!"

As an orphan raised by the Life Foundation and a ruthless individual who has climbed to his current position, Wesker instinctively rejected this voice, feeling that something was very wrong.

But ironically, his extraordinary status, which he was so proud of not long ago, has now become the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The dragon blood within him began to boil automatically amidst the other party's eerie laughter. His eyes shone with a golden light that even his sunglasses couldn't block. Under the astonished gazes of the many Life Foundation employees around him, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and, like an arrow released from a bow, his figure vanished swiftly after stepping through the gate of the Sanshui family residence.

"This"

This sudden turn of events left everyone at the scene completely bewildered, including Eagle and Yako, who were secretly hiding behind the Life Foundation members.

"What's going on? Should we follow them in?!"

"Yes, of course I'll go!!"

Before finding her younger sister, Yako obviously wouldn't give up.

Seeing this, Flying Eagle could only sigh helplessly, thinking to himself that women were such a hassle, and quietly led her into this eerie house.

In an instant, the scene before them was completely transformed, as if the residence were merely the entrance to another special secret realm.

Looking around, thick white fog filled the air, with only a mountain path, whose destination was unknown, appearing and disappearing in the fog.

Since they were already here, relying on the snake charm's shadow stealth ability, Flying Eagle and Yako gritted their teeth and continued forward, soon hearing the sounds of fierce fighting not far away.

At the end of this mountain path, there was an ancient shrine, entirely black in color, standing quietly in the mountains. Unlike ordinary shrines, the name of the enshrined deity was not written on the vermilion first torii gate, but instead a mysterious pentagram pattern was carved on it.

Seimei Shrine! !
Such distinctive features allowed Flying Eagle and Yako to instantly recognize whose shrine it was.

However, they didn't have time to think about why a Seimei Shrine would appear in this place that looked like a secret realm.

boom! Boom boom! !
The fierce battle taking place in front of the shrine drew their full attention.

The strange puppet with three eyes and four arms that they had seen in online videos appeared here. Its moves were bizarre and its speed was astonishing. Any part of its body could be disassembled and used as a weapon. In an instant, it shot thousands of black poison needles at the intruders on the other side.

And the intruder opposite it was Wesker.

Since entering this place, he felt that his physical condition was better than ever before, as if he had been instantly strengthened.

Naturally, he no longer resisted the voice that appeared in his mind, but instead planned to obey the other party's order, forcibly enter the shrine, and destroy the sealing magic circle inside.

so.
Looking at the dense barrage of poison needles aimed at him, Wesker's eyes gleamed with gold as he expressionlessly raised his right hand.

Words of Power. A Dustless Land.

boom! ! !
In an instant, a huge force field was formed centered on Wesker's body, with high-speed airflow flowing across its surface, forming something like a 'barrier'.

All the black poison needles aimed at Wesker were repelled in an instant. Some of them bounced off and even passed through the area where Eagle and Sprout were, startling the two who were secretly watching the battle.

Fortunately, the snake charms were still very effective. They appeared to be invisible, but in fact they were in another shadowy space. These terrible poisons had no effect on them, passing straight through them and shooting into the ground or trees nearby.

zizi——

Whether it's the soil in the mountains or the lush forests around them, after being hit by these poisonous needles, they all hissed and emitted black smoke, and large areas were corroded, which shows their power.

Seemingly realizing that this move was exhausting for Wesker, the three-eyed puppet tilted its head and repeated the same trick, its figure moving so fast that it left afterimages as it circled the intruder, spitting out various hidden weapons from its mouth, chest, and limbs.

Poison needles, kunai, poison bullets, poison cones.
Because of the incredible speed, the two 'invisible' spectators couldn't even see them clearly. They could only see the damage caused by the projectiles being deflected by Wesker's invisible force field.

Rocks flew everywhere, and poisonous smoke filled the air.

If it weren't for the snake talisman, Flying Eagle estimated he would have died a hundred times over. No wonder the divination he performed before coming here was a very bad omen.

At the same time, he and Yako also discovered that no matter how messy other places were because of their battle, the location of the shrine remained clean and unaffected.

Or perhaps, whenever a poisonous needle or cone is aimed at the location of Seimei Shrine, the mysterious pentagram on the red torii gate flashes a hazy, clear light, blocking all the chaos from the outside.

Based on Flying Eagle's many years of treasure hunting experience, he was certain that there must be some treasure or secret hidden inside.

"Why don't we go in and take a look while they're fighting here?"

"Walk!!"

Unlike ordinary women who would hesitate and drag things out, Yako nodded decisively, and hand in hand with Hiyori, they cautiously approached the ancient and mysterious Seimei Shrine, successfully stepping over its torii gate.

In Japanese mythology, this often means that one has entered the dwelling place of the gods. Fortunately, it seems that nothing unexpected happened.

Main hall, worship hall, coin hall, Tamagaki, shrine
The layout of this Seimei Shrine is very similar to the one Yako had visited before, but it is much older. The bluestone floor is covered with layers of moss, and the bronze bells hanging under the eaves of the main hall are covered with green patina. Everything is filled with the ancient atmosphere of the vicissitudes of time.

As a result, Hiyori and Yako breathed much more gently after entering. Walking on the moss-covered approach, they looked around in surprise until a hoarse, weary male voice came from the main hall of the shrine.

"Please come in, both of you."

They've been discovered!!
Flying Eagle was startled. He exchanged a glance with Yako beside him, and the two slowly walked into the main hall of the shrine, which symbolized the dwelling place of the gods.

In the dimly lit hall, before the altar where the statue of the famous Japanese Onmyoji Abe no Seimei was enshrined, sat an old man dressed in a black hunting robe, with empty eye sockets and no eyes.

He seemed to have not spoken for a long time, or perhaps he had some health problems. His eyes were vacant as he stared toward the entrance of the main hall, and his voice was hoarse and strained as he said, "I am the seventeenth generation descendant of the great Onmyoji Abe no Seimei, and I am Misui Kichiemon."
