As soon as Izumi Keisuke finished speaking, many people present, especially those professionals, immediately rushed to the torii impatiently.
After all, there are only nine final places, and everyone understands the simple principle of first come, first served.
As the body was swallowed up by darkness, they disappeared one after another and entered the singularity.
Seeing such a scene, those people behind who had not yet had time to enter couldn't help but have a look of surprise on their faces, and they all quickened their pace.
For some people, it is no longer that important whether they can obtain the qualification to remove spirits or not, they just want to experience the feeling of the singularity for themselves.
At this moment, Ye Shenkong also walked forward with the crowd.
Looking in the direction of the torii gate, his eyes were slightly worried.
However, I am not afraid of the peculiarities mentioned by Keisuke Izumiya.
Instead, he was worried about whether his special extraordinary physique would affect the assessment.
For example, what should we do if it's his turn later but he can't get in anyway?
You can't always use the excuse that it's your first time and you have no experience, and you'll become more proficient after doing it a few times.
This must be completely unqualified, right?
Thinking of this, Ye Shenkong couldn't help but regret a little.
If he had known that there would be such a link in the spirit removal test, he would have gone to Miss Himejima to test it out in advance.
Now that I think about it, Miss Himejima disappears from the scene of the crime every time she commits a crime. I am afraid that she used this method to enter an unknown space.
But now it is obviously too late to ask Miss Himejima for help.
While thinking, Yagami Sora's eyes couldn't help but turn to Keisuke Izumiya next to the torii gate again.
Otherwise, should you just go solo?
No, doing this is tantamount to slapping Meiji Jingu in the face, and if it is later found out that I was the talent that the Jingu family slipped in through the back door, neither side will give me a good harvest.
You must think of a way to ensure that you enter the singularity...
Suddenly, Ye Shenkong's eyebrows moved.
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was not the first time he had seen such a space.
The last time, it was in Chiba Yui's room.
At that time, Chiba Yui also disappeared from his eyes in the same way.
Later, in the process of rescuing Chiba Yui, his hand penetrated into the singularity.
Although I haven't completely entered, I have entered somewhat.
Because I held Chiba-san's arm at that time, I was able to penetrate deep into the space within the singularity...
Ye Shenkong's eyes widened slightly.
A medium containing spiritual power... This is the necessary condition to enter the singularity!
Thinking of this, he calmly took out an irregular jet black crystal from his pocket.
It is the cursed seal obtained from Miss Himejima.
Ms. Himejima once mentioned that the curse seal is the source of her power, and it naturally contains abundant spiritual power, making it a perfect medium.
Yagami held it quietly in his hand, then took a deep breath and strode towards the torii gate.
The moment he passed through the torii gate, he felt a slight resistance on his face, as if there was a thin film blocking his face, resisting his entry.
But this resistance is in vain.
The next moment, Ye Shenkong easily broke through the film and appeared in another space.
There is a torii behind him, and surrounded by dense forest, with white ropes connecting the thick tree trunks, forming a formation like a barrier.
The faint moonlight shone down and fell on a vast open space in the center of the forest not far away.
In the center of the open space, there is a shrine.
Inside the shrine, there are bright red magatama stones!
Around the open space at this moment, many people who had come in before were already lying in a mess.
Judging from their goals, they are all aiming for magatama.
It's just that I didn't know what happened when I was attacked on the road, so I fell to the ground.
The expressions on the faces range from pain to sadness.
Some are happy, some are sexually blessed.
It's like a grand ukiyo-e.
Seeing this, Ya Shen Kong stepped forward.
Ignoring the others, he stepped over them and quickly headed towards Magatama.
Because he didn't know how long the spiritual power in the cursed seal would last, he planned to fight this battle quickly.
Otherwise, you may finally get in, only to be unable to get out.
...
After everyone entered the singularity, only the two priests of Meiji Shrine were left on the scene.
Looking at the void portal that was as calm as ever, Eiichiro Furuhara turned his head and said with a smile.
"Senior, the psychological quality of the people who participated in the assessment this time is much higher than expected. After listening to what senior said, not even one gave up voluntarily."
"I think there might be someone who can complete this assessment within six hours."
"What are you talking about?" Keisuke Izumigu frowned, "This is a level two singularity. Considering the level of these people, it's good to be able to come out on their own."
"The living soul inside alone has five types: anger, sadness, joy, fear, and color. Each of them is enough to make a person with less than a hundred rounds of spiritual power immersed in his own emotions and unable to extricate himself. If they cooperate with each other,
The power is doubled."
"Even if we set up barriers in advance to suppress them, these living souls are not easy to deal with. It is undoubtedly very difficult to get past them and get the magatama."
"In addition to strong spiritual power, you must also have keen inspiration and a tough heart. Try to avoid these souls as carefully as possible. If you are attacked, you must use perseverance to get rid of them quickly."
"Only by doing these three things can you get the magatama within six hours. Anyone who can do such a thing is a true genius."
"I just said it casually..." Eiichiro Furuhara scratched his head.
Suddenly, his eyes froze, staring in the direction of the torii gate behind Keisuke Izumiya, and blurted out.
"Senior, it seems someone is coming out!"
"What!?" Izumiya Keisuke was stunned when he heard this and quickly turned his head.
Under the torii, a hazy shadow gradually emerged.
The next moment, a handsome and somewhat familiar face of Izumiya Keisuke appeared.
Looking at Yagami Sora walking out of the torii, Keisuke Izumiya suddenly felt doubtful and stepped forward to ask.
"I said, why did you come out?"
"Huh? Is there a time limit for coming out?" Ye Shenkong looked at the other party in surprise.
"That's not true, but don't you feel ashamed for giving up so quickly?"
Izumiya Keisuke frowned and was about to reprimand the other party.
"My companions are still fighting inside, but you escaped-"
"Oh, Priest Quangu is talking about this. In fact, I have already obtained Magatama."
Hearing this, Yagami suddenly understood and showed the magatama in his hand to the two priests.
Suddenly, the two priests of Meiji Shrine stared at the bloody magatama in Sora Yagami's hand.
This...this...
"The magatama is for you. The certificate is also from you, right?" Ye Shenkong asked with a concerned look on his face.
"Yes, yes..."
Keisuke Izumiya trembled and took out a gilt certificate from his sleeve that was exempted from all transfers, and handed it to Yagami Sora with both hands.
Looking at the gorgeous color and the noble cloud patterns on the corners, Yashenkong put it into his pocket with satisfaction and said goodbye very politely.
"Thank you both for your hard work tonight, see you later."
"See you later... some time."
After his figure disappeared into the shadow of the cherry blossom trees outside the shrine, Izumiya Keisuke asked dryly.
"Gu Yuan, he...how long did it take him?"
"Senior, including the queuing time, the total time is seven minutes." Eiichiro Furuhara said dullly.
Seven...seven minutes?
Are you here to play speedrunning?
Keisuke Izumigu seemed to hear intense popping sounds in his temples.
He hugged Eiichiro Furuhara next to him and twitched the corners of his mouth.
"No, I have to calm down..."
"Gu Yuan, take, give me a cigarette..."
With trembling hands, Eiichiro Furuhara took out a cigarette from the cigarette case he had collected and lit it for Keisuke Izumiya.
With my backhand trembling, I lit one for myself.
Under the dim moonlight, bursts of smoke drifted up.
The faces of the two priests finally showed rare tranquility.
...
Seven hours later.
In the torii, the next figure finally appeared.
A young monk with disheveled cassocks and an awkward posture rushed out of the torii gate.
In his hand, he also held a bright red magatama.
Returning to the real world at this moment, the young monk finally showed a relaxed expression on his face, smiled and raised his palms to say the Buddha's name.
"Amitabha, the two priests and the young monk honored their orders and brought magatama back..."
But no one paid any attention to him.
What greeted him were only cigarette butts scattered on the ground in front of him.
