Twisted Dreams-Chapter 311 - 380: Seimei

East Sakura Country, Capital, a certain official building, high-level meeting.

A few elderly people sat in front of the table.

They included the security system, general, historians, Mystical Sect experts, meteorological department, etc.

On the large screen ahead, a video was playing.

The content of the video was ’Blood Moon.’

After the video finished, the prime minister in charge of the meeting said:

"What do you all think about the Spiritual Energy Revival happening in Xia Country?"

The spokesperson of the meteorological department frowned and said:

"Firstly, this phenomenon of dual moons in the sky might be a rare weather occurrence..."

The words were interrupted by the Mystical Sect expert:

"You said the same last time, claiming it was a once-in-a-millennium natural phenomenon.

Yet, Xia Country has seen two Blood Moons within a year. How do you explain this?

What happened to the once-in-a-millennium claim?"

The spokesperson of the meteorological department smiled awkwardly and said no more.

The history professor raised their hand to speak:

"The meaning of Spiritual Energy Revival is that originally the world had demons, Yin Yang Masters, and other supernatural beings alongside humans.

Due to certain reasons, the era possessing Spiritual Qi vanished.

Then, for certain reasons, Spiritual Qi returned again.

This world started to see demons and have people like Yin Yang Masters once more.

I consider this nonsense; nothing of the sort has happened in the official history.

If it had, it would have surely been documented."

The Mystical Sect expert sneered:

"Who says it hasn’t? Didn’t you mention the terms Yin Yang Master and demon?

If those things didn’t originally exist, how would you know about them?

History flows like the waves of water, who knows what secrets are hidden within?"

The history professor responded coldly:

"Your pure superstition, not believing in official history but in wild tales?"

The Mystical Sect expert also stood firm, glaring at the nose of the history professor and said:

"Recently, a Dragon appeared in a sea area of Xia Country.

You could not have missed this, it spread all over the internet."

The history professor was silent for a while:

"Perhaps the video is fake, propaganda by Xia Country to promote the tourism industry."

The Security Administration’s chief director said:

"That’s impossible, Xia Country immediately neutralized the impact of that video.

By the way, you might not know, in Xia Country, superstitious activities violate security regulations.

By the way, I believe in the Spiritual Energy Revival."

The history professor looked at the chief director incredulously:

"How can even you..."

The chief director took out a file and distributed it to everyone present.

He said:

"Recently, the security administration caught a criminal.

Do you believe it, the criminal could spray water, from their mouth."

The history professor exclaimed in astonishment:

"How is that possible? Where is this person?"

The chief director sighed:

"That person is from Xia Country and has returned there.

They were handed over and taken away by two mysterious people.

I checked the background of those two mysterious people, traced back to a department name in Xia Country."

The prime minister asked earnestly:

"What name?"

The chief director said solemnly:

"Security Administration, mainly responsible for managing and dealing with abnormal events.

The so-called abnormal events are cases like demon disturbances and crimes by the Extraordinary.

I don’t know how long this department has existed, but it certainly does.

I also looked into ’Blood Moon,’ reportedly under its light, some creatures gain Supernatural Power.

Honestly, if not for Xia Country frequently having ’Blood Moon,’ which increased crimes by the Extraordinary, we would never have known about the Security Administration department.

Xia Country, hiding too deeply."

The attendees were still digesting the chief director’s words.

This matter is too terrifying.

If Spiritual Energy Revival is global, Xia Country has had countermeasures for unknown years, yet East Sakura Country still doesn’t understand what Spiritual Energy Revival is.

Having watched some Xia Country films, there’s often a scene in which a special department intervenes during demon chaos.

Originally considered an imagination, now it seems not unfounded.

The general’s face was stern:

"Spiritual Energy Revival has given Xia Country many methods unknown to us; this is not good news for us."

The Mystical Sect expert gritted their teeth and said:

"Why does only Xia Country have the ’Blood Moon’?

Why don’t we have it?

Why should they get the good things first?"

The Mystical Sect expert is committed to researching ancient Mystic Techniques; how could they not want to experience the thrill brought by Supernatural Power, feel the methods of a Yin Yang Master?

The chief director sighed:

"Do you wish for us to have the ’Blood Moon’?

If Spiritual Energy Revival becomes global, we are indeed in trouble.

Xia Country has long prepared for Spiritual Energy Revival, established relevant institutions already.

And us? We know nothing about Extraordinary knowledge.

Just imagine, if East Sakura suddenly had a large number of demons and Supernatural Humans, wouldn’t the security fall into chaos?"

With that said, everyone took a deep breath.

If Spiritual Energy Revival truly happens, it would be a disaster for East Sakura!

The prime minister looked at the Mystical Sect expert:

"You’re the expert in this field; do you have any good suggestions?"

All eyes were on the Mystical Sect expert.

Indeed, none of them knew about such matters; the person who knew best was the Mystical Sect expert.

It was the first time the Mystical Sect expert received such attention in this setting.

Even if they didn’t understand, they had to pretend to know something.

The Mystical Sect expert thought for a moment and said in a deep voice:

"In terms of Extraordinary knowledge, we may not be worse than Xia Country.

Our East Sakura’s Mystical Sect legends may not be as long as Xia Country’s history, but not necessarily fewer."

East Sakura indeed has many legend stories.

Though their territory isn’t very large, one might even say very small, their legends have tens of thousands of Demon Kings.

Xia Country’s legends have only a few that could be called Demon King.

"Actually, there’s no need for everyone to fear the Blood Moon, because..."

The Mystical Sect expert stopped halfway, piquing everyone’s curiosity.

The prime minister couldn’t resist:

"Don’t be mysterious, just speak."

A gleam passed through the eyes of the Mystical Sect expert:

"Have you forgotten Seimei Shrine?"

Seimei Shrine, founded by the legendary Yin Yang Master, Abe no Seimei.

Abe no Seimei, the most powerful Yin Yang Master in East Sakura legends, possessing Fox Demon bloodline, along with countless Shikigami aiding him.

Legend says Seimei Shrine worships Abe no Seimei and his Shikigami, along with several Great Demons closely associated with him.

Now, Seimei Shrine has become a half-dead tourist attraction, operated by Abe no Seimei’s descendants.

Someone said:

"Abe no Seimei is indeed the most powerful Yin Yang Master in legends, but his descendants wouldn’t know Abe no Seimei’s magic!"

The Mystical Sect expert said:

"I mean, Seimei Shrine should be reclaimed, the Security Administration should seal it off.

Let me thoroughly research Seimei’s relics; perhaps I can awaken a Shikigami."

Upon hearing this, the chief director’s eyes lit up.

If the Security Administration seals off Seimei Shrine, then Seimei Shrine is essentially the Security Administration’s.

If Spiritual Energy Revival, Blood Moon descends, Seimei Shrine might possess almost infinite value.

East Sakura doesn’t need to establish a Security Administration like Xia Country; the Security Administration can handle abnormal events.

The chief director said:

"I agree."

The prime minister thought and said:

"Then let’s do it, reclaim Seimei Shrine to make it officially owned."
