At night, the Sacred Tree Grand Shrine was still brightly lit with antique lanterns. Other than Ito Miko's room, the Sacred Tree Grand Shrine didn't have any modern technology. Of course, the construction site outside was brighter.
However, Four Isles repeatedly looked at the watch on his wrist. Ten minutes had passed since the appointed time, but there was still no change at all.
Was there something wrong with the time calculated by the experts?
Or was the Underworld late?
If anyone in the Hall of Supernatural had such a lack of sense of time, they would have been scolded by the Four Isles. However, it was fine if it was the Underworld. He hoped that the people of the Underworld would forget about Junping.
Sidao had been busy for the past two days. Yesterday, he was at Nanzao Yangfu Jinshan. Today, he returned to Tokyo and immediately came to the Sacred Tree Grand Shrine.
Since the Black Impermanence summoned Ishizaki Junpei from the Underworld, he should be there when he was taken away. The government had an obligation to welcome him. It would be best if they could entertain him with good food and establish a diplomatic relationship. It would be fine even if they rented a piece of land in our Island Nation and forced us to establish a nation!
The Prime Minister didn't have to come in person, but he sent Deputy Prime Minister Iizuka Taro.
After all, the Black Impermanence of the Underworld was too cunning. The resurrected Junpei didn't have any memory of his time in the Underworld.
The most important information was that Ishizaki Junpei occupied his father's' body '. Although he looked like a child, there was an adult's body hidden in his body.
Things like Yomi Birasuka, Mitsui River, Clothes Snatching Woman, Ishizaki Junpei didn't remember anything. All that was left were insignificant memories of his time in the human world.
Who wanted to hear how much you missed your parents? These things weren't important to the government!
If you really wanted to feel familial love, just watch the TV series!
As expected, it wasn't easy to take advantage of a Transcendent. The breakthrough point was still the people of the Underworld.
"I-I'm going to die?"
Junpei looked at the Lord in the distance uneasily. The question he asked was heartbreaking.
As soon as he finished speaking, wind suddenly blew in the Sacred Tree Grand Shrine. The wind blew through the leaves of the Sacred Tree.
Aso Itō was still holding the white Suzuki in her hand. When the wind blew past, she raised her head subconsciously and moved her lips up and down. "Coming."
She did not feel any 'spiritual power', but the wind was strange.
Suddenly, there was a mist in front of the green Sacred Tree. As ordinary mortals, Sidao and the others were so shocked that they stepped back.
A black shadow gradually solidified in the fog. The first thing that popped out was the Black Impermanence's long pointy hat, which still had the humorous words "World Peace" written on it.
"You really know how to pick a place. You actually chose an immortal's residence." With that, Black Impermanence turned around and bowed to the shrine. "Thank you for your hospitality."
The Sacred Tree shook its branches and leaves as if to say that it didn't mind.
"Thank you very much."
Sidao glared at the expert who proposed to 'send off' at the Sacred Tree Grand Shrine. No wonder Black Impermanence took so long. It turned out that he wanted to greet the Sacred Tree. If such a small matter caused Black Impermanence to be unhappy, the officials would be depressed.
However, even China's Black Impermanence acknowledged the status of the Sacred Tree as an 'immortal.' It seemed that the Sacred Tree was a terrifying existence with a mighty person. Moreover, it seemed that Black Impermanence was even lower than the Sacred Tree?
Seeing the strange Black Impermanence that suddenly appeared, Ishizaki Shunpei shrunk his body in fear. As a four or five-year-old child, it was already good that he did not cry on the spot.
This strange person was so scary. He looked just like a ghost!
"Little brat, have you stayed enough in the human world?"
Black Impermanence approached Ishizaki Shunpei and looked down at the resurrected little guy. "It's time to go."
"Go?"
Junpei raised his head. His pale skin was dull, but there were tears in his eyes. Even though he looked just like the naughty brat Toshio from The Grudge, there was still a kind of … no, Shuino didn't feel pity for him at all.
Looking at Shunpei's confused eyes, Mizuno did not feel any pity in his heart.
Separation in life and death, self-sacrifice.
God knew how many times this happened in the world every day. If he had to feel sad every time he died, he might not even have enough water in his body for half an hour.
At the end of the day, he was lonely in the world. He could feel what happened to him the most.
This little guy's death had nothing to do with him. It was already a joy for the husband and wife to be able to pull him back from death. As for sacrificing one person, it was also a necessary condition for the Impure Earth Reincarnation.
Moreover, since there was no Chakra on Earth, neither Ishizaki nor his son had Chakra with them. The resurrected Ishizaki Shunpei was also an empty shell. Every movement of his body consumed the Chakra reserves in Mizuno's body.
He was not a kind-hearted person who would cut off his own flesh to feed the eagles. Even the slightest bit of excess consumption would make him, who cultivated the art of "Ninja," feel heartache. Moreover, it was not too late to do good deeds after ensuring his own survival.
"Going means … going to where you should go." With that, Black Impermanence took a step forward and pressed two of his fingers on Ishizaki Shunpei's forehead.
"Because you're already dead."
"I'm already dead?"
Black Impermanence's words had an unusual charm. Shunpei had heard similar words from other people, but it did not have as much of an impact as when Black Impermanence said it.
The world before the child's eyes spun. It was as if he had been sucked into some mysterious place. His voice and vision slowly disappeared. He could not do anything even if he wanted to cry out in fear, because even his right to speak had been taken away.
Everyone around him widened their eyes. Even the experienced and knowledgeable Aso Itō could not help himself. He might only be able to see this once or twice in his lifetime, so how could he not be overwhelmed with emotions?
Ishizaki Shunpei's body silently "disintegrated," as if time had been accelerated thousands of times. His hair slowly softened from the tip of his head to the tip of his toes, and then suddenly accelerated, turning from a complete human body into a puddle of gray soil.
The gray soil dried and weathered, and finally flew into the sky with a gust of wind.
"Ah, ah, ah!!"
An expert standing at the side howled in pain as he watched the dust being blown away by the wind. He ran forward with all his might, spreading his arms in an attempt to intercept these precious materials.
Black Impermanence did not have much of a reaction to the mortals' strange actions. After dealing with the "small accident" in the mortal world, he nodded at the Sacred Tree.
However, the moment the mist beneath Black Impermanence's body rose, Taro Iizuka's eyes twitched. He could feel Black Impermanence's gaze lingering on him for a moment, as if he was asking about the progress of the matter.
"F * ck."
After Black Impermanence disappeared, Taro Iizuka took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his forehead and gulped.
"Prime Minister Iizuka, what's wrong?"
Sidao lowered his head slightly to look at Taro Iizuka. This Deputy Prime Minister was 1.75 meters tall, but there was still a huge gap between him and Sidao.
"I'm fine. Perhaps I was a little … frightened."
