Chapter 210: Conflict between Monsters In Big Valley Amusement Park, a giant octopus lay on top of its big box filled with chips. The dim moonlight fell on it, as if it was blending into its body, causing its bright red skin to gradually turn into the same color as the moonlight. In the sight of Hiramiya Chiya and Jingu Yaezakura, its figure gradually disappeared. "Has it left?" asked Omori Omiya curiously. There is no estuary here, so how could such a big octopus just disappear? "It's still there." Jingu Yaezakura replied. "Where is it? Why can't I see it?" “It’s still there.” The Grand Priestess looked at it carefully a few more times, but still could not make out any clues. He knew that the giant octopus was using the moonlight to achieve optical invisibility. But it's still a bit discouraging that I can't find any flaws. "Listen to me, I just started with 10 chips and won all the way until it went bankrupt..." Jingu Yae Sakura held onto Hiramiya Chiya's right arm and excitedly told him about her legendary gambling journey of winning millions of chips from 10 chips. Back then, Chen Daozi was able to win 20 million from 3700 chips. For me, Jingu Yaezakura, it is no problem to win millions of chips with 10 chips.
Pinggong Qianye couldn't help but have such a thought in his mind. "It's really cute, soft, chubby, and a little silly. It doesn't look very smart." Yaezakura Jingu made her final comments on the giant octopus. If you remove the adjective "chubby", it will also fit your image. Hiramiya Chiye was thinking this in his heart, and at the same time he was also wondering why Jingu Yaezakura could always win the bet? Does the Moon Goddess naturally possess the characteristic of strong luck under the moonlight? The Grand Priest Daijo gave his own professional answer to this, because the believers who came to worship the Moon God all firmly believed that the Moon God could bring good luck to their lives. Most orthodox gods have good luck naturally, it's just a matter of amount. The moon god of Tsukimi Shrine is undoubtedly the symbol of good fortune, especially under the moonlight. After a while, Jingu Yaezakura made the giant octopus reappear, and after some questioning, she learned its origin. It was originally a giant deep-sea octopus living in the sea, and its scientific name is the giant Pacific octopus. Once when it was hunting in the sea, it accidentally swallowed a piece of strange silver crystal in the sea. Before it had time to digest, it was caught by an ocean-going fishing boat, and sailed all the way across the ocean to this amusement park, becoming one of the large marine creatures in the aquarium. But later, for some unknown reason, all sorts of accidents suddenly occurred in this amusement park one day, and many tourists died. Since then, the amusement park has been abandoned, the sea water in the aquarium has dried up, all other marine life have died, and only it survived. Then, its size began to expand until it became what it is today. With some wisdom, it regarded this amusement park as its home where it grew up, and eventually became the master here. If someone comes in occasionally on weekdays, they will soon be scared away. Hiramiya Chiye believed this statement translated by Jingu Yaezakura. Because the wisdom of this giant octopus is very limited, just like a newborn baby, rather than Umibozu who has wisdom no less than that of humans.
It is not in its wisdom to compile such a story on its own. But there are still some doubts in this story. He had never heard of an amusement park called Higashi in the area, nor had he ever heard of such a large-scale death incident occurring in an amusement park in Tokyo. After thinking about it, Pinggong Qianye took out his mobile phone and started typing "Big Valley Amusement Park" in the search box. After searching for a while, he actually found a lot of information. There is indeed a Big Valley amusement park, and a large-scale tragedy did occur in this amusement park. However, this Higashiyama Amusement Park is not in Tokyo, but in Mito. Moreover, the abandonment of Big Valley Amusement Park happened 18 years ago. Such a large amusement park and such a huge octopus would definitely not appear out of thin air in Tokyo. Unless they encounter a special place like a space channel or a space crack, they will directly fly to Tokyo from Mito. Does such a special place really exist? Is this a purely natural phenomenon, or is there something behind the scenes manipulating this? There is also a big roulette wheel with various monsters printed on it, led by six big monsters, if he was not mistaken. They should be the Seven Lords of Sin, Our Lady of Suffering, Distorted Daizen, Shuten-doji, Tamamonomae, and Daitengu. The squares of the Seven Lords of Sin, Our Lady of Suffering, and the Distorted One are distributed in the lower half of the wheel, while Shuten-doji, Tamamonomae, and Daitengu are distributed in the upper half of the wheel. This is obviously not a coincidence, but rather a subtle contradiction. The opposition between monsters is like the yin and yang in Tai Chi. Such a big roulette wheel is definitely not something that should be in a normal amusement park, nor is it something that a giant octopus’s intelligence could create. It is a big roulette wheel that can only be created by people or monsters who have a deep understanding of the monster world. Perhaps it was not originally intended for gambling, but had other uses. For example, you can use its pointer to find the location of these monsters, and you can use these squares to perform some secret methods... Pinggong Qianye was just guessing and had no direct evidence. There was no way. The giant octopus had limited intelligence and could not speak human language. Only Jingu Yaezakura could understand what it wanted to express. Since the appearance of the ghosts and wraiths in this amusement park was not caused by this giant octopus, Pinggong Qianye had no intention of killing it. After all, it was captured by humans and brought to land, and it didn't do anything bad just by guarding this amusement park. Otherwise, with its huge body and eight tentacles that are as big as trains, once it leaves the amusement park and lands in Tokyo, it would be like the monster in Ultraman coming to life. It will definitely cause a huge upheaval and cause heavy casualties. I believe that the people of Tokyo do not want to experience the excitement of a real monster invasion in the real world. Pinggong Qianye jumped onto the roulette wheel and carefully inspected and measured the large roulette wheel. The material is very hard, and judging from the texture, it may be snakewood. There are obvious traces of magic left on the entire roulette wheel, but they are very faint. It should be that when this large roulette wheel was built, the magic was cast to protect the entire roulette wheel from being destroyed.
The pigments used to paint the patterns were similar to those he used to decorate the altar, such as cinnabar, azurite, and orpiment. After checking several times, Hiramiya Chiye asked the giant octopus and Jingu Yaezakura to stay away from her for a while. He came to the center bearing position, stared for a while, squatted down, raised his right fist high, and punched the big roulette wheel without reservation. There was a cracking sound, and the entire roulette wheel began to show cracks one after another, and then it collapsed. There was a glimmer of surprise in the giant octopus's eyes. It had tried to smash the roulette wheel, but it couldn't do it despite its best efforts. Now, such a small person can actually do what it cannot accomplish with just one punch. Bravo! "Isn't it amazing?" Jingu Yaezakura looked at Hiramiya Chiye with curved eyebrows and a smile, saying: "His name is Hiramiya Chiye, and he is my best friend." "He is also a monk, a famous and great monk..." As the conversation got heated, Jingu Yaezakura introduced the big octopus to the deeds of Hiramiya Chiya. The Omori Omiya, who was standing by, felt relieved after hearing this. They were just the best of friends. It seems that the goddess has not been abducted by this playboy monk yet. At the center of the broken roulette wheel, Pinggong Qianye searched among the wooden debris on the ground for a while and found a compass that was twice the size of an adult's palm. This is a metal compass, which is cool and round all over, with black and white colors interwoven. It is very heavy, probably about 20 kilograms, and most people cannot hold it naturally in the palm of their hands. This is a magical weapon specially used by practitioners. To be more precise, it is a magical weapon derived from the Onmyoji lineage. This is obviously a product of combining Chinese Taoist thoughts and knowledge with native Japanese monster stories. The compass is also divided into 36 small squares, and under the round cover in the middle are three pointers of different lengths and thicknesses. There is also a corresponding monster portrait in each small square, a total of 36 types, and they are not cartoonized. Except for the seven evil lords, every monster revealed its true form. Pinggong Qianye's eyes were on the image of Our Lady of Suffering, which was a tall woman wrapped in holy light with hair dancing like snakes. I seem to have a little impression of it, probably the quick glance when I rescued Iori Fubuki from that dark world. The Twisted Great Lord is a monster with a sheep-like body and wings. "Did you find anything?" Jingu Yaezakura walked over and Hiramiya Chiye handed the compass in his hand to her. "Hey, it's a bit heavy." Jingu Yaezakura weighed it gently a few times, and tapped the surface of the compass with her fingers, and indeed felt its uniqueness. "How should this thing be activated?" "I don't know."
Hiramiya Chiye really doesn't know much about Onmyoji. During his travels, he met Buddhist monks and Shinto priests, but he never met an Onmyoji. According to Miyaji Iori, the Onmyoji have become extremely quiet since the great change in the world 20 years ago, and they are seldom seen by outsiders. "Did you find anything good?" Omaeji also came over, and he recognized at a glance that this was something carried by a certain Onmyoji. Once you encounter a monster, defeat it and seal it in the compass. From then on, you can treat the monster as a shikigami and drive it at will. But isn’t this ambition too big? "Let me show you. Be careful. This thing is a bit heavy." Yaezakura Jingu held the compass in one hand and handed it to Omasa Miyaji, who spread out his hands and took it. In just a moment, his palms pressed down suddenly and he was almost thrown to the ground. Click. He seemed to hear the bones in his hands trembling under the heavy load. (End of this chapter)
