Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1487 1159. The confusing clues are always in the temple

The banquet ended early.

Lan En and Wuming wanted to go back to the room to rest. Hanbei said that he would check the household registration information all night and hand the results directly to Lan En early tomorrow morning.

The flannel ball and Qilin also received high-level hospitality from Ando Mamoru.

The two of them also had a room in the castle tower, and the attendant who was responsible for leading them looked astonished when he came in from outside the room.

Just like Mamoru Ando, ​​although there are guardian spirits in this world that can be called 'gods and Buddhas', they are invisible or audible to ordinary people under normal circumstances.

Instead, they are monsters and evil spirits that directly invade the human world. These ferocious things don't care whether you, an ordinary person, can see them or not. If you encounter them, you will kill and eat them.

Therefore, the chances of ordinary people seeing monsters and evil ghosts are much greater than the chances of seeing serious gods and Buddhas.

And like flannel **** and unicorns, these creatures look extraordinary, but are either cute or noble in temperament. It can be said that ordinary people have no chance to see them once in their lives.

Basically, they are listened to as myths and legends.

And this attitude also reassured Lan En a little.

It seems that at least this world is not the kind where when you encounter something you have never seen before, you just treat it as a monster and cannot communicate and explain it.

In this way, it seemed that he only had to waste time when he went out with Velvet Ball and Qilin, and the rest would not be a problem.

It's just that Mentos seemed to be quite happy because he seemed to have been robbed of his job.

Although Hanbei also has super memory and rapid analysis capabilities because of Shirasawa's guardian spirit, can he conduct real-time combat analysis and research assistance beside Lan En?

Not a little bit better! So Mentos was happy and relaxed, without any sense of crisis.

Just after the banquet, after Wu Ming stared at him for a long time with the strange look of "You are really a big shot in exile," they still had a good sleep at night under the self-control of excellent warriors. .

In the process of gradually raising their bodies to a battle-ready state, the two of them slept until dawn.

When the sky outside the castle tower became slightly brighter, Lan En opened his eyes in time.

"You finally woke up." Wuming's calm voice came to his ears. "I'm really not alert enough."

"No, wouldn't it be nice to relax a little when there's no danger?" Lan En propped himself up and smiled to the side, "And by the way, we are considered acquaintances, right? And we are also peers, so there is no need to show off like this Give me your business expression.”

In the dark Japanese room, Wu Ming was fully dressed and sitting cross-legged, sorting out his weapons.

The originally cold face suddenly stiffened, and then he turned his head subconsciously, not looking at the demon hunter next to him who had just gotten up and was moving his shoulders.

Whether they are demon hunters or demon hunters, they all seem to have a professional habit of keeping a cold face towards their customers in order to avoid trouble.

Therefore, Wu Ming's expression is usually quite cold.

But after being in contact with her for a long time, or it doesn't take long, you can know that this is a simple and kind-hearted girl.

She is quite easy to understand.

"Don't, don't say such boring things!" Wu Ming said with disgust. "First think about how to deal with the [residues]! That is a matter of life and death!"

"Totally agree."

As Lan En spoke, he stood up and began to put on his coat and prepare to put on his armor.

Amidst the clanking of Smaug's armor parts, a polite knock came from outside the sliding door of the Japanese room.

"Come in," Lan En said without raising his head as he fastened the buckle of his armor.

The sliding door opened with a friction sound, and Takenaka Hanbei was already kneeling at the door to say hello.

"I don't know if the reception last night was satisfactory. My father and I have been worrying about whether we let all the guests have a good rest."

It seemed that the seriousness and fierceness last night were just a short-lived illusion. Takenaka Hanbei appeared in front of Lan En again and turned into the gentle and polite young samurai.

"There's no need for polite words. We don't have precious bodies. We can't stand it no matter how hard it is."

The demon hunter said decisively amidst the "click" sound of the armor's buckle being tightened.

"It seems like you've been working hard all night? I've really troubled you, is there any result?"

Takenaka Hanbei's gentle expression couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I was indeed busy last night, and it can indeed be called 'tired'."

"According to what you two said, I started to track events with a longer time span and more twists and turns."

"This made the workload far beyond my expectations. But at the same time, I have to say that I also understand more about the horror of this special [dirty]!"

Wu Ming placed the well-maintained Naginata Scythe against the wall, while Lan En was still wearing the armor alone. Although the two of them had different movements, they both frowned and listened to Takenaka Hanbei's investigation results last night. Hanbei's face darkened, and his tone was the same: "If the shorthand and analysis below are correct, then this kind of "filth" is already more widespread in Iwamura Castle alone than what you two have investigated. More, further.”

"Back when Dao San Daoren stole the country."

It is a fact that Saito Dozo stole Mino Country in a subversive manner. But as a samurai loyal to the lord of the country, Takenaka Hanbei's loyalty made him unable to say anything, but at the same time he could not ignore it.

A samurai must be loyal to his master, but the object of allegiance itself rose to power by violating the spirit of the samurai.

This can be said to be a contradiction that the Mino samurai can never get rid of mentally and cannot explain to themselves.

Hanbei was a little stuck because of this contradiction, but in the end he continued speaking smoothly.

"The number of remnants that were eliminated was not large. Monks and priests were also invited to conduct a large-scale purification ceremony at that time."

"But then."

"The businessman who bought the land originally owned by the remnant party at a low price and built a hotel on it. One night the businessman suddenly went crazy and burned his guests and his whole family to death."

"The child of a distant relative of a businessman suddenly went crazy three years after the hotel was burned down. He was taken into a cell and committed suicide in the cell."

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"And one of the guards in that cell was transferred to Inabayama Castle five months ago, and he lost his footing and fell off a cliff on a rainy night."

After Hanbei finished speaking calmly and rationally, there was silence in the room.

Wu Ming's mouth opened uncontrollably.

Even the sound of Lan En putting on his armor stopped for a while before reverberating in the Japanese room.

"This is just the chain of transmission of [dirty], and it is not the one that I have traced the deepest."

"'You can't inquire about it, and you can't make contact with it. Even if you just get to the bottom of it, there will be retribution.' When most of us are not aware of it, there is already a piece of advice that originated from unknown time and is being circulated in private."

"To be honest, when we got to this point, even my father-in-law was already frightened."

Hanbei raised his head. He had heavy dark circles under his eyes, and he looked like he was very low on energy.

It is conceivable that even having Bai Ze's guardian spirit gives him a mental advantage.

However, the intricate and inconspicuous clues and connections in the dossier, as well as the long time span spanning more than ten years, have suddenly made it more difficult to sort out the information!

For example, the line that Hanbei picked out and talked about may not be able to match the relationship between the characters even after eighteen turns in the file.

"But since you're here, it means you should have completed the investigation, at least with a rough result, right?"

Lan En raised his eyes and looked at the half-guard sitting at the door.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The young samurai pursed his lips at this time and seemed a little hesitant.

"It's Chang Zai Temple."

"Chang Zai Temple?" Lan En's mind immediately recalled the information he had received from Wu Ming's client's family.

When their family had a miscarriage, they invited wandering monks who often stayed in the temple to perform rituals to get rid of the "residues".

"Before the execution, the largest family among the wealthy families that were eliminated in Iwamura City offered a scroll of pictures of women to Chang Zai Temple in the name of worshiping Buddha and praying for death. It was recorded."

"In the other families, after the execution, something or someone in the family had entanglements with Chang Zai Temple. This is the earliest and most unified clue that I have found."

"But I think this temple in Meinong shouldn't be simple?" Lan En had already resumed the speed of putting on armor at this time, and the not-too-fast but very steady 'click' sound sounded one after another.

"Otherwise you shouldn't be hesitating, Hanbei."

"Suck~" The young warrior took a deep breath subconsciously, and then said heavily, "It's just as you thought."

"Your Excellency Lan En, Chang Zai Temple. This is the temple where the Third Master of Taoism was ordained and became a monk!"

"Eh?!" Even Wu Ming, who had a cold expression, couldn't help but make a surprised sound at this time.

Saito Dozo, the Viper of Mino.

In this troubled world that started with the Onin Rebellion, he was the first to steal a country by subjugating his superiors and became the hero of the country.

His ruthlessness and scheming frightened daimyo everywhere, even outside of Meino Country.

Not to mention the country of Meinong, which he completely controlled.

Ever since he defeated the counterattack of the original lord, the Toki clan and the Owari Oda clan's coalition, his control has been absolute.
