In the evening-
As the sun set, the slightly bone-piercing coldness swept over again.
This made the pedestrians walking on the streets in a hurry tighten their collars to prevent the cold wind from robbing them of their remaining warmth.
At this moment, Kotoko Ishinaga dragged her slightly tired body back to the White Fox Law Firm.
"Eh, the director isn't here?"
When Iwanaga Kotoko opened the door and walked into the office, she noticed that Yuan was not in the office. She could not help but ask Kasugano Dome, who was sorting out the files of the White Fox Firm.
"Sister Kotomi, come back. I'll make you a cup of coffee.”
After seeing Kotoko Iwanaga, Kasugano Dome immediately stood up and prepared to brew her a cup of coffee. At the same time, he looked at the sky outside and said,""After Sister Kotomi left for a while, the director went to investigate the location of the strange wood ghost incident. He should be back soon.”
The branches of the Gokugi that were spread in the Gokugi incident were mainly concentrated in the Shibuya area. Only a few of them were discovered outside the Shibuya area, just like the harbor area where Kasugano Dome used to live.
Ishinaga Kotoko understood the director's thoughts about personally investigating the location of the wood ghost incident.
With the director's current strength as a national-level Onmyoji, if he went to investigate on the spot, he might really be able to find something different. It was just like the distribution of the branch of the evil wood spirits.
A moment later-
Kasugano Dome handed a cup of steaming hot coffee to Kotoko Iwanaga.
"It seems like Sister Kotomi, your search this time was quite fruitful.”
Iwanaga Kotoko took a cup of coffee and took a sip of the steaming hot coffee, dispelling some of the coldness in her body.
" Not bad. At the very least, we've found out that there's indeed quite a big mystery about Masayoshi Kuda. The only regret is that we haven't been able to find the cufflink that connects her to the mysterious wood charm incident.”
It was just as Kotoko Ishinaga had said.
She had indeed found a lot of clues in apartment 405 today, but all of them pointed to the mystery of Kuda Masayoshi herself, not the mysterious wood charm incident.
There were still some key points missing.
However, Ishinaga Kotoko was more and more convinced that Masayoshi Kuda must have a close relationship with the Gokugi incident, just like how she played an important role in the Wedding Dress Tree incident. Similarly, her role in the Gokugi incident was definitely not light.
If he followed this clue, he would be able to find out a part of the truth.
After taking a few sips of the steaming hot coffee, Kotoko felt her body warm up. Suddenly, she noticed something unfamiliar on the director's desk from the corner of her eyes.
" Eh, what's this?!"
What greeted his eyes was a bronze mirror that had been seriously decayed. The marks and decay on it were heavy and time-honored. It was placed on a wooden triangular shelf as an ornament on the desk.
However, it had to be said that if it was really used as an ornament, it would not look good.
This might not have been an important matter, but what attracted Kotomi Yanyong's attention the most was the power contained within the copper mirror.
It was a power that Ishinaga Kotoko was quite familiar with. It was different from the spiritual energy of a Yin-Yang Master, the Yin energy of a ghost, and even more different from the demonic power of some powerful monsters. It had an inviolable divine aura, like the might of the heavens.
This was-shen power.
It was a power that belonged solely to the gods, a divine power condensed from pure faith.
Just like the Lord Tuze she knew, as well as a few gods, they all contained this inviolable power.
However, the divine power of Lord Tozawa and the others had already withered with the passage of time. Compared to the bronze mirror placed on the office table by the director, the divine power contained in their bodies was simply minuscule. It was completely like the difference between a small stream and a large river.
"A copper mirror that contains divine power…"
" Why do I feel like it's similar to the Yata Mirror described by Lord Tozawa…"
"Yata Mirror!"
Kotoko Iwanaga took a sip of coffee and frowned as she pondered.
He didn't know what was going on…
The more she looked at the copper mirror, the more it looked exactly like the Yata mirror described by Lord Tozawa and the others. Even some details were almost 70% identical.
Could this really be the legendary Yata Mirror?!
Soon after, Kotoko Ishinaga shook her head in ridicule and denied herself.
"…How is that possible?"
Yes--
How could that be? The Yata Mirror was a divine artifact in Japanese mythology. It was as famous as the Grass Naga Sword and the Yachi Qiong Gouyu. It was a divine artifact held by the God of Heaven!
It could be considered the highest sacred item of the Nihon Shinto. How could it appear in their White Fox Firm? It was something that could not be dreamed of.
However, what Kasugano Dome said next almost made her spit out the coffee in her mouth.
Sister Kotomi, this is indeed a Yata Mirror…"
"What? That's impossible!"
Ishinaga Kotoko stood up from the sofa and stared at the bronze mirror on the desk with her eyes wide open in disbelief. She could not believe that the bronze mirror in front of her was the legendary divine artifact, the Yata Mirror, also known as the " The mirror of the true Jingjin.
"Is it really the Yata Mirror? The legendary Yata Mirror?!”
"Eh! It was indeed a Yata Mirror, but…it was still a little different from the Yata Mirror that Amaterasu Master God had in the records of the " Chronicles of Ancient Affairs ".”
Kasugano Dome realized that Kotoko seemed to have misunderstood his meaning. The Yata Mirror he mentioned was a little different from the legendary Yata Mirror, so he quickly explained.
"Strictly speaking, it's a replica of the legendary Yata Mirror, but from the looks of it, it's indeed called the Yata Mirror.”
"So it's a replica, it's also…"
Kotoko Ikenaga calmed herself down and nodded.
However-
Even if it was a replica, it was still very impressive. After all, it was a replica of the legendary divine weapon, the Yata Mirror. It was not an ordinary item. Moreover, judging from the divine power contained in it, the person who forged it must be a famous god in the myths.
"I'm afraid that the Yata Mirror worshiped in the Ise Shrine, which has the name of the ancestor of the shrine, is far less valuable than this one.”
Kotomi Ikenaga said honestly.
After all, the Yata Mirror was worshipped in the Ise Shrine. It could only be considered an antique that had witnessed the changes in history. Anyway, she did not feel any divine power from it.
Just from this point alone, one could see the difference between the two Yata Mirrors.
If the priests of the Ise Shrine saw this replica of the Yata Mirror, they would probably kneel down in excitement and shamelessly bring it back to the Ise Shrine to worship it.
After all, this was the representative of their supreme faith. It was a sacred object in their eyes.
Then, she suddenly thought of something. She looked at the Yata mirror on the desk and said,""…This is the reward sent by Bright Night, right?”
"After I went out to investigate, the director finally accepted her commission.”
"Sister Kotomi, how did you know?”
Kasugano Dome was greatly puzzled.
"It's obvious. The director usually doesn't use any magic tools. Besides, among the people I've seen recently, the only one who can come up with such a big deal is Sigong Hui Ye.”
Kotoko Ishinaga explained casually.
"Sister Kotomi, not long after you left, Miss Bright Night came…"
Immediately, Kasugano Dome recounted everything that had happened during that period of time.
This included Yuan's deduction of the supernatural incident that had happened to Bright Night the Fourth Palace…
When Kotoko Ikenaga heard that Shutendoji wouldn't come personally unless it was a special offering, she heaved a sigh of relief.
She had already thought about it in her heart.
If the director was determined to solve the supernatural incident for Teruya Shizomiya and fight Shutendoji, even though she could not change the director's decision, she would not let the director face such a dangerous situation alone.
Of course, the attackers were also at the level of great demons, and three national-level Onmyojis were needed to fight against them.
However, it was nothing compared to the danger Shutendoji brought.
Moreover, Ishinaga Kotomi had confidence in Yuanyumo.
Yuan's combat strength was not something that could be completely summarized by the label on the Yin-Yang Master certificate. There was a difference between a national-level Yin-Yang Master and a national-level Yin-Yang Master, not to mention that she had outlined the framework of the Yin-Yang Doctrine, which shocked the entire Yin-Yang Doctrine.
It shouldn't be a problem for him to fight against a great demon alone.
In the end, what made Kotoko Iwanaga feel relieved was the director's attitude towards the supernatural incident involving Teruya Shizomiya. Through Kasugano Dome's narration, the director's words had clearly expressed his intention.
It was not a problem to intercept and kill ordinary great demons, but if Shutendoji attacked, he could only let Teruya Shiomiya pray for his own good.
"An existence at the level of a great demon is about the same value as this replica of the Yata Mirror.”
"As expected, we can't underestimate these corporations that dominate Japan's economic system. In addition to their financial resources, their foundations can't be underestimated.”
Even Iwanaga Kotoko did not expect the Four Palace Financial Magnate to have such a divine weapon. She immediately stood up and walked to the desk to pick up the Yata Mirror. With her ability as the God of Wisdom, she sensed the Yata Mirror's ability. Her hands emitted a faint fluorescent light, and then the detailed information about the Yata Mirror flowed into her mind.
"Reflects an attack of the strength of a professional level Yin-Yang technique. Reflects an attack of the strength of a national level Yin-Yang technique three times a day. The limit is to defend against the Great Yin-Yang technique once at the cost of breaking it…It's an extremely good defensive divine weapon.”
In the legends, the Yata Mirror was known as the "
The most important ability was to break through illusions and reflect all spells.
Although the Yata Mirror in front of him was still very different from the real Yata Mirror in myths and legends, it had to be said that it was a divine weapon with very powerful defense.
With its ability, even if an ordinary person wore it, they would not be afraid of the attacks of any professional Yin-Yang Master. Moreover, it could also defend against the National Yin-Yang Art three times a day, as well as the Great Yin-Yang Art. Although it was a one-time use, it would definitely be able to save their lives at a critical moment.
"Sister Kotoko, regarding this Yata Mirror, the director said before he left that he would leave it to you to handle.”
Kasugano said.
"Leave it to me."
Kotoko Iwanaga looked at the Yata Mirror in her hand and felt a warmth in her heart.
After all, this was not a weak divine artifact. Even for the current director, it was still quite useful. If she were to handle it, even if she wanted to take it for herself, no one would say anything. Of course, with her personality, she would not do so.
After a moment of silence…
" Then stay at the White Fox Firm for now. Whether it's you, me, or the new employees of the White Fox Firm in the future, you can apply to use this Yata Mirror when you carry out any dangerous missions or deal with supernatural incidents.”
Kotoko Iwanaga had positioned it as a strategic resource for the White Fox Firm. This was also a choice that would maximize the benefits.
