Chapter 863 The Missing Monk

Mount Osore is located in Aomori Prefecture.

The area where the Osore Mountains are located has frequent volcanic activity, and the surrounding area is filled with the smell of sulfur and is full of sand and gravel. The entire mountain is shrouded in the stench of sulfur. In addition, the tombs and graves that can be seen everywhere in the entire mountain area form a solemn and dead scene.

However, in such a gloomy and terrifying place, there are also extremely beautiful scenery such as "Bliss Beach". The blue lake in the crater and the endless pure white sand beach complement each other, presenting a peaceful scenery.

Perhaps it is because Mount Osore has both terrifying and magnificent natural landscapes that this place is called a sacred mountain and is one of the three famous sacred sites in Japan.

Japanese Buddhism regards Mount Osore as the dividing line between light and darkness, believing that it is the place where Japan's spiritual energy is most concentrated, the last place for ghosts who have lost their hiding places to go, and the mountain that connects the world of the living and the underworld, the Sanzu River.

On Mount Osorezan sits a Buddhist temple called Yuantongji.

It was founded by the eminent monk Ennin more than a thousand years ago.

Entsuji Temple was the destination of Shinkensuke and Nagatomo Masao's trip to Aomori.

"Mr. Yushinari, Mr. Fushimi from the Aomori Prefecture Countermeasures Office branch contacted me by phone. He arrived a little earlier than us and was waiting for us at the entrance of Entsu-ji Temple." Yushinari and Nagatomo were walking one after the other on the winding mountain path, and the latter said so.

"it is good."

Looking up, the outline of Yuantong Temple is clearly visible among the gloomy shade of the trees high up.

He lit a cigarette, and the smoke seeped into the moist mountain air.

Taking advantage of the turbid smoke, Jiecheng began to observe the surroundings.

Yusei had been to Osorezan once a year ago, and compared to that time, the spiritual energy in the surrounding mountainous forest area seemed to have become more intense. Looking at the outline of Entsuji Temple located high above, Yusei Shinkenyu did not see any obvious evil spirit left over from the ghost story activities in the temple.

"Hmm? There are no signs of ghosts invading the temple recently... However, we cannot rule out the possibility that some ghosts with extremely strong aura concealment are causing trouble in Yuantong Temple."

This is what Jucheng thought.

Entsuji Temple on Mount Osore is one of the temples in Aomori Prefecture that has a close connection with the Countermeasures Office.

Long ago, the monks of this temple provided a very special service to the world - spiritualism.

Because the monks and believers here believe that Mt. Osore is the connection between the living world and the Sanzu River, if someone wants to see their deceased relatives or friends, they will ask the monks on Mt. Osore to summon their souls. It is said that in ancient times, the monks of Mt. Osore would find the person they were looking for among the countless souls wandering on the mountain, and let it possess themselves to talk to their relatives in the living world.

However, it seems that Yuantong Temple stopped all spiritualism-related businesses hundreds of years ago.

According to the information left here in the temple, the reason why the spiritual affairs were terminated seems to be that the connection between the Osoreyama area and the Sanzu River began to weaken continuously over a period of time, until finally the monks of Osoreyama were completely unable to sense the Sanzu River.

However, even so, the spiritualistic techniques of Yuantong Temple have been passed down from generation to generation.

Moreover, during the Obon Festival, Yuantong Temple will still follow the tradition and host a spiritualistic memorial service - the "Osoreyama Festival".

"The spiritual energy in the Osorezan area is relatively strong. Even in modern times, there are many monks who are good at exorcism. Generally speaking, it is one of the stronger exorcism forces in the north."

Kaisei Shinkenyu climbed up the stairs and continued to recall in his mind the information he knew about Mt. Osore and Entsuji.

As far as he knew, two years ago, after the blind woman and Onizuka Kirihotaru "opened up" the secret method of Harumi's talismans, Yuantong Temple also organized people to go to the Juqing Shrine for exchanges and learning.

The abbot of the temple of this generation, Monk Yuanci, and several of his disciples are among the best who have achieved good results in communication and learning.

"Master Yuanci is definitely one of the elites in Japan's spiritual exorcism industry. But he and several of his disciples are on the missing list in this incident..."

Thinking of this, Jiecheng couldn't help feeling worried.

It is no wonder that before officially arriving at Mount Osore, he emphasized to Nagatomo that the things in this place might be unusual.

Monk Yuanci was not an ordinary exorcist, but he and a dozen other monks with the qualifications to exorcise ghosts all disappeared overnight, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth.

What's even more bizarre is that according to the request for help submitted by local Aomori to the Countermeasures Office headquarters, the exorcists who subsequently arrived did not find any traces of any ghost activities in Entsuji Temple.

This is consistent with the result of the "Wangsha" just now.

Where did those monks go?

How did it disappear so completely?

……

Outside the gate of Yuantong Temple.

Here, Yusei met Akio Fushimi, a senior executive of the Aomori Prefecture Countermeasures Office branch.

Fushimi is a middle-aged man with ordinary appearance, capable and taciturn. When he saw Yusuke Yusuke, he bowed neatly and greeted him: "Mr. Yusuke, you are finally here."

Along with Fushimi, there were six exorcists, two of whom were dressed as monks.

Both of them are monks in Yuantong Temple.

Soon after the disappearance, the temple was sealed off and all the other monks in the temple were moved down the mountain. The two monks that Jiecheng met now were the ones who were moved away by the Aomori Countermeasures Office.

As soon as the people from both sides met, Nagatomo took out a recorder at the signal of Jiecheng's eyes and began to question the two monks of Yuantong Temple to collect information.

However, according to the report previously submitted by Aomori to Tokyo, the other monks in Entsuji Temple had no awareness of the disappearance before and after the incident, and it would probably be difficult for Nagatomo to get any new and valuable information from the two monks.

"Is this difficult?"

The cigarette that Jiecheng had just lit was not yet extinguished. Through the smoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Fushimi Akio in front of him, and asked.

"Yes." Fushimi nodded, his expression looking very anxious. "I think you should have known that after the monks of Yuantong Temple disappeared, the personnel arranged by our branch to search the mountains and forests also disappeared, a total of five people."

After learning about the disappearances at Entsuji Temple, the Aomori Countermeasures Office branch quickly organized a team to search Mount Osore.

What is even more bizarre is that the search for Mt. Osore not only yielded nothing, but five of the people involved in the search mysteriously disappeared, leaving no clues. Later, only one of the five was found, and the remaining four disappeared in the sulfur mist of Mt. Osore.

This series of events was also mentioned in the report submitted by Aomori.

It was because of the subsequent chain of disappearances that Fushimi and others fully realized that the situation in Osoreyama was unusual. They immediately blocked the temple and the surrounding forests and asked for help from the Countermeasures Office headquarters.

"The exorcist we found is named Ueda Ayatsuki, right? I read in the report that when she was found, she fainted at the foot of Mount Osorezan. Now, is Ms. Ueda awake?"

"Yes, yes... It's Ueda." Mr. Fushimi, who looked calm, seemed even more uneasy at this moment. "Mr. Yusei, something happened too suddenly, and I didn't have time to report it..."

"Ok?"

"Just this morning, Ueda...she disappeared in the hospital." (End of this chapter)
