Back in the living room, Mako changed into military green cargo pants and a short-sleeved shirt, and once again slung Hase Takuya's exorcism backpack over her shoulder.

The handsome tomboy remained silent. As the shrine gate closed, Kuro, who had watched the two walk down the mountain, turned and disappeared from the rooftop.

At the ruins of the Fujiang Mansion, personnel from the Current World Contamination Countermeasures Division, dressed in enhanced anti-contamination suits specifically designed to counter consciousness interference, are checking the residual paranormal index at the site with honeycomb-shaped paranormal sensing devices.

The piercing alarm never stopped, and heavy breathing could be heard through the transparent mask.

Everyone was tense, but no one backed down.

It's not that these pollution countermeasures personnel are particularly virtuous, but rather that if they are found to be deserting their posts, not only will they themselves be blacklisted by the authorities, but their families will also be blacklisted by the authorities.

Furthermore, all the benefits and privileges previously granted will be cancelled, and they will be labeled as untrustworthy individuals in special forces.

This standard is extremely dangerous in the current context of paranormal occurrences, because it can trigger a series of chain reactions.

That not only means you will face discrimination and isolation from those around you, but you will also be unable to use a series of "paranormal safety" public facilities and conveniences, such as paranormal safety trains and paranormal safety housing.

This will greatly increase your chances of encountering paranormal events, and once you are marked as untrustworthy, official agencies will not provide any assistance in your situation.

However, the benefits of becoming an active member of a special forces unit are also extremely high.

Your family will not only receive preferential treatment in daily life, but your children will also be able to attend special schools that are only open to active-duty personnel. In addition to your monthly salary of 200,000, all medical expenses incurred by your family in the future will be borne by the government.

Furthermore, some special preferential positions, such as the current World Defense Humanitarian Service positions, are only open to the children of active-duty personnel or those who have retired due to injury.

From children's education to elderly care, modern China has a comprehensive set of systems in place.

This is why, even though this manor has been preliminarily identified as the site of the "Five Calamities," the countermeasures personnel are still not backing down.

As the investigation into the paranormal activity of the ruins progressed, the corresponding level of paranormal contamination was fully revealed.

Inside the command vehicle, Nagano Kojiro, the executive director of the Kyoto Exorcism Association, looked at the Five Calamities Assessment in his hand, which had been definitively confirmed, and immediately reported the situation to Koizumi Mio as his eyes twitched.

Mio Koizumi drove to the scene immediately and looked at the ruins, which, although no trace could be seen, exuded a deep and terrifying atmosphere.

Wearing a black hunting robe, Mio Koizumi did not hesitate and immediately cleared the area, evacuating all personnel.

Nagano.

"Hi!"

"Come in with me."

"yes!"

Nagano Kojiro took a deep breath, looked at Koizumi Mio with a serious expression, picked up his Demon-Slaying Sword, and followed Koizumi Mio inside.

As for the others, it wouldn't make any sense for them to follow.

As soon as they entered, Nagano Kojiro's shikigami, Fuwamen, and Koizumi Mio's shikigami, Sora no Gozen, appeared behind them on their own.

Koizumi Mio immediately drew the illusory black longsword from her back and held it in her hand, while a ferocious black-purple armor appeared on her body, ready for battle.

While Kojiro's Unbreakable Mask adopted a defensive posture, he was also prepared to escape at any moment.

Mio Koizumi unfolded her hunting robe, revealing the exorcism belt inside, and pulled out a black talisman, holding it in her hand.

The two stepped on the cracked inscriptions on the broken floor tiles, and as they got closer to the main body of the manor, the powerful spiritual pressure contained within became increasingly suffocating.

Mio Koizumi took a deep breath, opened her exorcism belt, and released a string of golden talismans that immediately surrounded the entire manor.

"How is the containment process going?"

"Traffic control measures have been implemented in the surrounding area, and residents have been relocated."

As Nagano Kojiro answered nervously, a bright blue glint appeared in Koizumi Mio's eyes as she scanned the ruins before her.

As the golden wheel barrier unfolded and two people activated their spiritual vision, the ruins before them completely transformed into something else entirely.

The pervasive blackness, like maggots clinging to bones, clung to the surrounding broken buildings, showing no sign of dissipating.

Not only in the ruins, but also in the sky, there was an impenetrable blackness, and the main body of the ruins was tightly wrapped by black hair like a spider web, with not a single gap in sight.

"The realm of demons and gods?!"

Koizumi Mio interrupted Nagano Kojiro's exclamation with a frown.

"It's not a demonic domain. If it were, the people from the Contamination Countermeasures Division wouldn't have stood there waiting for me to arrive, and you wouldn't have had the mind to scream. I would have kicked you out and deployed my domain for a domain clash long ago."

As Koizumi Mio spoke, Nagano Kojiro, realizing what was happening, murmured in disbelief.

"So what exactly is going on here?"

Mio Koizumi looked at the strange scene unfolding before her and fell into deep thought.

"Step back to the edge of the scene, ready to pull me back to reality at any time."

With a solemn command, Nagano Kojiro turned to look at Koizumi Mio, knowing that she was about to communicate with the other party, and possibly even enter His world.

However, the risk here is not facing supernatural pollution, but rather facing a being that can be called a god.

"Chairman Koizumi, I disagree with your plan. The risks you are taking are far too high."

In response to Nagano Kojiro's concern, Koizumi Mio calmly spoke up.

"If we don't seize this opportunity to make contact with 'Darkness,' one of the two most secretive of the Five Calamities, and then wait for Him to launch a major attack, we'll be helpless like we were with Brother Mo?"

"Or perhaps they will simply follow the example of the Three Capitals, refraining from proactive suppression and extermination, believing they can truly coexist with them, ultimately leading to their entire territory being surrounded and becoming a ghost realm on earth?"

"Can..."

"The island nation's arrival is not deep enough; it cannot fully manifest itself. It's dangerous, but it's better than knowing nothing at all."

Looking at Koizumi Mio's serious expression, Nagano Kojiro pursed his lips and nodded vigorously.

"clear!"

As Nagano Kojiro retreated to the edge of the manor, Koizumi Mio turned to face her shikigami, Sora no Gozen, and drew a katana wreathed in ominous purple aura from its chest, holding it in her hand.

As she gripped the katana, Sora no Gozen entered Koizumi Mio's body, enveloping her in an ominous purple aura, and causing numerous purple runes to appear on her intelligent face.

Mio Koizumi wasn't stupid; communicating with Him directly in her human form would be tantamount to suicide.

After the spirit is entangled, at least it will make Him less resistant.

Then, Mio Koizumi took a deep breath and walked towards the main body of the manor, which was entangled in black hair.

After much deliberation, Mio Koizumi slowly raised her hand and brought it to the long hair in front of her that was pulsating like veins.
