Tokyo, Daejeon, Supernatural Office Headquarters, Lesson 16.
On the surface, Lesson 16 was a useless department responsible for logistics, but in reality, it was a top-secret intelligence analysis and countermeasures class. Once you entered this department, you would completely become a part of the country. In many ways, such as clothing, food, housing, and transportation, you would be restricted. Only when you were promoted to a confidential level would you regain your freedom.
Even if the island country had achieved the strongest control in all aspects, the staff of the 16th class only knew one thing about the things they were dealing with.
Just like the letter that appeared in Lesson 16, they knew that their department had sent out a request letter, but who the letter was sent to, who sent it, and who sent it, all the important parts were handled separately by other departments.
To prevent the possibility of a spy, the Supernatural Office separated each part very carefully. After all, it was impossible to say if there was a spy in the entire headquarters, but it was a hundred percent certain that there was a spy from other countries.
For example, the undecipherable words in the scrolls were also saved in Lesson 16, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that there was no way to decipher the words in the scrolls.
Just like the Voynich Manuscript during the Renaissance, countless cryptographers and geniuses had tried to decipher the secrets of the book for hundreds of years, but to this day, they had not been able to decipher a single word.
However, Japan and the United States believed that as long as they had enough time, they would definitely be able to obtain more information. The mystery of the supernatural language would be revealed before them.
"There's a letter."
"Analyze."
"Yes."
After Mizuno's reply arrived, Lesson 16 immediately became busy. This class gathered a lot of talents, and the expert who discussed the scrolls in the meeting was also a non-staff member of Lesson 16.
"Our speculation about the supernatural history seems to be successful."
"He confirmed our speculation about Kaguya!"
"Do we need to analyze the style of the writing?"
Seimei Shujima was also in Lesson 16 looking at Mizuno's reply. This letter was written in the Supernatural Office, and it was stuffed into Mizuno's mailbox through several middlemen. When the letter was retrieved, it was also passed through different middlemen. They tried their best to prevent Mizuno from getting involved with the Supernatural Office.
In reality, there was a strong or weak connection between everything. The Supernatural Hall needed to cut off this connection.
The letter that was delivered to the Sixteenth Class had all information regarding Mizuno erased by Seimei Shukishima. The members of the Sixteenth Class couldn't be completely trusted.
Minister Yuriwaku was the guardian deity of the Island nation. Naturally, only the Island nation could come into contact with him.
However, if they knew that Mizuno was the mastermind behind everything, the cabinet elders would be eager to tie Mizuno to a rocket and launch him into outer space.
Miyabi Shujima now regretted being so close to Mizuno before she discovered Mizuno's identity. As the lucky star of the Supernatural Hall, even though she did not have much exposure to the public, she was still an important figure in the eyes of the intelligence agencies of other countries. There might be people watching her when she went to and from work.
If some intelligence agency of a country discovered Mizuno's secret, the situation would become passive.
But then again, if she had not been close to Mizuno by chance, she would not have been able to find this big fish hiding in the crowd.
Who would have thought that there was a great white shark hiding in a small lake? Fortunately, it was a gentle great white shark.
To end all the wars in the world and eliminate fear and pain, Kaguya climbed the Sacred Tree and ate its fruit. She gained great power … Miyabi Shukishima's eyelids twitched. Minister Yuriwaku did not point out the name she mentioned.
But a name was just a code. She did not care too much about it.
However, this reason of eating the fruit was too idealistic. Was there really someone in the world who would steal power for the sake of idealism?
It was probably just a beautification of what had happened, just like how history books beautified the emperors of the past.
Just like what the experts had discussed, the four wars had indeed happened in the Millennium War. However, they were only a part of the Millennium War and could not represent the entire Millennium War.
As for who the author of the scroll was and other aspects of the words on the scroll, Minister Yuriwaku did not give any explanation. He did not even correct the names of Kaguya and the giant tree. Otherwise, he would have been able to decipher the supernatural words on the scroll by comparing the names of the two objects on the scroll.
Deciphering the words was not a huge amount of work, but a lack of breakthrough points.
"Miyabi Shukishima, is there something wrong?"
A staff member saw Miyabi Shukishima staring at the returned letter and thought that the legendary good luck general had discovered something wrong.
"…"
Miyabi Shukishima did not seem to hear the staff member's words. Her eyes were still fixed on the scroll.
"Sorry to bother you." The staff member smiled awkwardly and gave up on flattering her superior.
"Compare the handwriting on the letter with the handwriting on file 0AX5."
File 0AX5 was a copy of the words on the scroll. The number was also random. There was no pattern to find.
"Yes."
If the higher-ups knew that she was investigating Minister Yuriwaku again, she would probably face a lot of pressure.
There was a handwriting expert in Lessons 16. The small Lessons 16 gathered all kinds of talents in the field of intelligence. Even if she could not find the talent she wanted in Lessons 16, she would definitely find it in the Hall of Supernatural.
Miyabi Shukishima continued to read Mizuno's reply. She could not find any problems in the letter. Minister Yuriwaku did not want to reveal too many supernatural secrets. Although it would make people feel uncomfortable, it was not something that was inexplicable.
It seemed that the guardian deity was not on the same side as the government, but it was normal. The guardian deity had lived for at least a thousand years, and during these thousand years, the emperor was still nominally the same, but the shogunate had changed again and again.
In the eyes of the Protector, the current cabinet government was no different from the shogunate in the past. They were both government organizations built by mortals.
Mortals needed the protection of the national government to survive, and that was why they were in awe. Minister Yuriwaku did not need to 'condescend' at all.
The handwriting expert quickly compared the two texts. In order to decipher the words on the scroll, even a handwriting expert like him had been working hard day and night. But most of the time, he was cheering for the cryptography expert.
"Miyabi Shukishima, the comparison is complete."
"What's the result?"
Miyabi Shukishima sat on the chair with her own aura, and it was all set off by the submissive staff beside her.
The handwriting expert was in his forties. He was experienced and had participated in solving many horrible criminal cases. "Not the same person."
