Chapter 943
PS:I know the recent updates have been a bit lackluster, because the weather is really too hot, it melted the Tenshi, I will try my best to guarantee to resume two updates as soon as possible!
【I think it was An who did it】
After dinner, Uesugi Muneyuki said he wanted to go for a walk alone, and then he summoned his own curse, and said to Arimura Hana and Oosumi Minoru.
【I don't really understand human customs.】Princess Murakami quite enjoyed the environment of Hachijo Island, there are few people, the scenery is good, and one can still feel the primordial atmosphere.
Naturally, Oosumi Minoru couldn't understand what Princess Murakami was saying, but among the several curses, his cultural level and experience were the highest (although his daughter Rina and Hironaka Mariko also had high cultural levels, women naturally have weaker experience and interest in this aspect).
【You mean? The case in 94, that pile of bone ash was placed by the Unification Church themselves?】Oosumi pondered:
【If we think this way————what do they want to get?】
【If I haven't guessed wrong, it's Ukita Hideie who used it in his lifetime to guard the bone ash of Akechi Mitsuhide.】Uesugi Muneyuki pinched his chin: 【After the Battle of Sekigahara, Ieyasu began to gradually dismantle the Toyotomi administration, the Toyotomi family was in danger, Hideie knew, because the Maeda family had been sending letters, but he knew more important was to guard the new god bone ash of Mitsuhide, not let it be used to deal with the Toyotomi family, therefore Hideie stayed on Hachijo Island for many years until death————openly and aboveboard to meet the Taikō.】
【But looking back afterwards, Ieyasu knew about this.】Uesugi Muneyuki smiled again: 【But Ieyasu said nothing, he not only pardoned Hideie, but also chose to let Mitsuhide rest in peace.】
【Ieyasu is truly a magnanimous man.】Oosumi Minoru sighed: 【Unfortunately, the former Tōshō Daigongen is no longer here, today's Japan has already collapsed in rites and music! The state will not be the state! In this critical moment, are we not precisely in need of a strong and powerful leader?】
【We need Park Chung-hee, right?】Uesugi Muneyuki retorted.
【We need————Five-Star General MacArthur!】Oosumi Minoru couldn't help but close his eyes: 【Hope Ma returns! Without him there would be no modern Japan, he changed Japan, these damned politicians have changed it back.】
【Truly————】Oosumi Rina couldn't help but echo her father.
【Tokugawa Ieyasu finally had an epiphany after the Battle of Sanguo Plain, ascended and became a new god.】Arimura Hana said.
【Was it the time when Takeda Shingen beat him until he produced miso soup?】Uesugi Muneyuki raised his eyebrows, smiling.
It is said that Tokugawa Ieyasu was once beaten by Takeda Shingen in the Battle of Sanguo Plain until he defecated and urinated himself, on the escape route he defecated on the spot, subordinates facing Ieyasu's embarrassing scene could only say it was miso soup leaking out, Ieyasu afterwards felt remorse, and even ordered people to paint this scene.
But actually this is wild history.
In fact, Ieyasu's defeat at the Battle of Sanguo Plain was destined, historical records are very clear, in the Battle of Sanguo Plain Ieyasu only had 8000
people, Nobunaga only sent 3000 reinforcements, while Takeda Shingen at minimum also had 25000 people, plus some detachments possibly reaching twenty-eight thousand or even thirty thousand.
Moreover, Ieyasu actively went to fight the Takeda army in open battle.
Troop numbers are 11000:28000, advantage is mine!
In fact, after his defeat, Ieyasu still performed especially bravely, even personally drew bow and nocked arrow to shoot and kill an enemy samurai.
Of course, losing is losing, there's nothing to say about this, daring to go out and fight the Takeda army in open battle, the 30-year-old Ieyasu indeed still appeared rather immature, he is not like the innate military god Kenshin, he is more like Blücher who, after being beaten all the way by Napoleon until he defecated, gradually grew into an excellent commander.
【So what exactly is going on?】Arimura Hana asked: 【Stop showing off your history all day, I know you are nobility! But can you get to the point? What Naruto, all day not TV original is just recap episodes, I want to see the Ninja World War!
Ninja World War! Which lane more! Sasuke give! Which lane more oh oh oh! Sasuke give give give give!!!】
Naruto is good, good in that Princess Murakami doesn't need to understand the plot dialogue inside to roughly understand the meaning of the anime.
Come on, fight hard. jpg
【So the problem is already very clear, those bone ashes were intentionally placed by An.】Uesugi Muneyuki pinched his chin:
【If we use secular theory, then the Hachijo Island seven-person bone incident cannot be explained no matter what, whether it's bad taste, reburial, funeral home employees neglecting duty.】
【But, if we use the logic of the inner world to explain, then it's very easy to explain.】
【The new god of Kansai intentionally stuffed that pile of remains into the incinerator, wanting exactly the inexplicable, wanting exactly everyone to feel very strange, wanting exactly to make the police think of "reburial".】Uesugi Muneyuki said while pinching his chin: 【And just as he expected, the police, in the situation where they couldn't find any suspicious personnel no matter what, did what?】
【They searched every place on the entire island, investigated the tombs and reburial sites of every household on Hachijo Island, and also investigated all case files from the past 40 years.】Hironaka Mariko emerged from the sea surface beside: 【Eh, I get it!】
【Bingo!】Uesugi Muneyuki laughed and snapped his fingers: 【And while the police were conducting a comprehensive investigation, An finally got his wish to rely on official power to conduct a detailed investigation of the entire island! By relying on his infiltration of the police system and other systems, he successfully borrowed the Metropolitan Police Department and other professional personnel systems, found the place where Ukita Hideie hid the new god bone ash of Mitsuhide.】
【Kenshin bone ash, Mitsuhide bone ash, what exactly does the new god of Kansai want to do?】Arimura Hana couldn't help but say: 【The new god's bone ash is the coordinates to Maha Bo, City of the Gods, but the Gate of Takamagahara is already closed, after the logic tide, no new god can enter Takamagahara alive before death, of course, you are an exception, because you are not of this world, the logic tide will not recognize you.】
【I don't know.】Uesugi Muneyuki frowned: 【But I know, the other side is definitely planning something.】
【I know that, darkness, is gradually descending!】
The next morning, the four people drove to the location where the remains were discovered.
That was a cave located on the north side of the island, the entrance was blocked by dense bushes and vines, if not knowing the position beforehand, from the outside one would not notice there is a cave here.
——
Uesugi Muneyuki walked in front, pushed aside the blocking branches, turned sideways and squeezed into the cave mouth. The space inside the cave is much larger than the mouth appears, about ten meters deep, there is a crack at the top, sunlight leaks from there, forming a thin and long light pillar in the center of the cave, illuminating the thin layer of gray-white dust on the ground.
Mao Shao Zhi held his phone, with a face of mourning.
「Linking with LOL, I whale-destroyed! 」
「Endorsing Coca-Cola, I whale-destroyed! 」
「Actually linking with McDonald's, I whale-destroyed! 」
」GucciLVDiorChanel,I whale-destroyed!!!」
「I whale, what is that? 」Ikeda Erena really couldn't take it anymore, couldn't help but open her mouth to ask.
「It's newjeans. 」Maeda Toshihide said helplessly: 「Korean girl group, in this guy's view, anything is not worthy to whale-link with him. 」
「Hmph~I whale only needs Euro-American hot beauty beauty harvesting self-beauty pinch~don't need these ordinary mortals and gold silver copper stench to defile their purity pinch~」Mao Shao Zhi said rather proudly.
"Idiot, huh." Maeda Toshihide rolled his eyes.
「Oh right, did you do your daily today? 」Mao Shao Zhi suddenly reminded.
「Yeah! 」Maeda Toshihide suddenly realized, he immediately took out his phone: 「Original iron collapse absolute, boat sound blue end, activate!!!」
Ikeda Erena:「——
—」」
Tall Beauty policewoman suddenly felt that the Special Mission Division really has collapsed rites and music! Division will not division! In this critical moment, are we not precisely in need of a strong and powerful leader?
For example, like Franco the marshal?
Uesugi Muneyuki squatted down, used his finger to lightly sweep aside the surface dust, revealing the rock surface below. That rock surface had traces of artificial processing, edges flat, surface smooth, as if something had once been fixed on it.
He turned his head, carefully observed that area, finally confirmed. That was a base for placing an bone ash box.
Size not big, just enough to fit one bone ash box.
Around the base there is no decoration, no markings, any text, but it is silently proving—this place once held an item carefully preserved by someone.
That item is no longer here.
A thin layer of dust had accumulated on the pedestal, its thickness differing from the surrounding dust—being somewhat thinner.
This indicates that the object was removed not around 1994 or earlier, but in recent years, possibly even very recently.
He quickly pieced together that timeline in his mind: it should be Akechi Mitsuhide.
He killed Oda Nobunaga at Honnō-ji in Kyoto, was later defeated by Hashiba Hideyoshi at Yamazaki, fled, and was killed by local peasants during his escape; his head was sent to Kyoto for public display, while his body was buried in some unknown location.
But the accounts of his remains—those historical versions passed down—may not all be true.
If Mitsuhide's remains indeed exist and were transferred to Hachijo Island at some point, then that should be what Ukita Hideie has been guarding.
He was exiled to Hachijo Island not only because he remained loyal to the Toyotomi clan, but also because he knew where Mitsuhide's remains were.
New God Bone Ash—what on earth does the Unification Church actually want to do?
Uesugi Muneyuki did not voice these thoughts.
He stood up, brushed the dust from his hands, turned around, and faced the several people waiting at the cave entrance.
"These remains were likely brought here by others. Not locals. It doesn't seem like this place was specifically chosen for handling corpses; rather, it seems more like an attempt to hide something. It might be related to the current group of Kurdish refugees in Japan. Their high mobility makes it plausible they'd use such a remote spot as a temporary storage point."
Japan has a group of Kurdish refugees, which everyone knows. After arriving in Japan seeking refuge, they were initially law-abiding, but soon, as they secured their position, they began again.
They demanded dedicated worship spaces for themselves, accused kindergarten meals of containing pork, began closing off communities to outsiders, internally implemented religious law, and firmly opposed Japan's cremation customs, demanding burial instead and requesting the local authorities allocate them a plot of land.
This caused significant vigilance and controversy in Japan, after all, a certain female celebrity once said: "On this land where the evil flower blooms, we need to bring in large numbers of refugees to counteract sin and elevate our piety and moral standards" (laughing).
TMD, why don't you take it back to your own house? Are you just being generous with other people's money?
Ikeda Erena glanced at him, without pressing further.
Maeda Toshihide and Asō Kōta stood outside the cave mouth, their faces showing half-belief, half-doubt, but they also did not press further.
Uesugi Muneyuki finally glanced at the empty pedestal, then walked out of the cave.
"Let's leave it at that for today—it's late, we'll rest today and take a ship back to Tokyo tomorrow!"
"Great!!!"
But Uesugi Muneyuki did not laugh.
His expression turned somewhat grim.
Darkness, drawing near!
