“So this is the sealed form of the Holy Lord?”

Sheriff White couldn’t help muttering to himself as he looked at the dragon statue being transported not far away.

The old gentleman at the side also had a complicated expression.

The incident in Texas was finally resolved, but the result was somewhat hard to accept.

【Texas traded to Suwa Daimyojin…】

At that time, after Suwa Daimyojin intercepted the Holy Lord’s fireball, he drove the rocks in the sky to wrap and seal the Holy Lord.

In everyone’s sight, when the rock cracked, the Holy Lord turned back into the form of a statue.

They thought the gods would continue to deal with the statue.

But Suwa Daimyojin seemed inexplicably reassured and handed the statue to them.

“Because the essence of the eight demons cannot be completely eliminated.”

In the cage not far away, the Holy Lord’s hoarse voice slowly echoed and attracted everyone’s attention.

“That Neon Earth Goddess is naturally aware of this, so she only took my talisman.”

Sheriff White looked at the old gentleman and decided that the latter should go forward to ask questions.

“Excuse me, Your Excellency, the Holy Lord, what do you mean?”

“Balance of yin and yang. Before that matter is resolved, the world and the gods need the eight demons to stand in opposition. If I am destroyed, then sooner or later the seal will be lifted, or a more troublesome guy will appear.”

“Next, don’t bother me anymore.”

Seeing this, the two decided to talk about it later. After all, if the other party stayed here, they would be able to get all the information out one day.

Da da da.

Footsteps echoed in the corridors of District 13.

Feeling a little uneasy, the old gentleman couldn’t help but look back, at Sheriff White standing beside him.

“The authorities just agreed to hand over such a dangerous guy to us for safekeeping?”

“What’s wrong?”

Pulling out a recorder from his bosom, the old gentleman recognized the object in his hand. It was said to be a special item made of extraordinary metal. Its purpose was to ensure that when encountering mythical beings under special circumstances, the information could be fully conveyed. Its hardness and strength were extremely exaggerated.

Swish.

As if to verify his words, the recorder was thrown forward.

next moment.

The laser almost covered the entire corridor, and the laser pen disappeared in an instant.

Sheriff White’s face was full of confidence.

He pointed to the corridor and heavy alloy doors behind him.

“There is no safer place in the world than District 13!”

——–

Inside the hospital, a red-haired woman on a bed frowned slightly, as if she realized something, her eyes slowly opened, and her gaze fell on the unfamiliar ceiling.

“Where am I?”

An inexplicable doubt arose in her heart.

Suddenly, countless fragments of memories emerged in my brain, and the scene of the car accident was vivid in my mind.

At the same time, she also recalled that in her dream, Martin sat next to her and placed her hand on his head and stroked it.

The red-haired woman stood up suddenly.

She looked around and found fresh flowers on the table, emitting a faint fragrance.

Her mind was in a trance, as if all this was not a dream.

At this moment, the red-haired woman frowned as she noticed that the light was flickering outside the curtains nearby, and she could still feel a faint line of sight through the curtains.

She moved her body slightly and found that she was recovering well.

Da da.

As the curtains were drawn open, the sight that greeted her shocked her, as if it had hit her head-on.

What caught her eyes were the colorful fireworks that kept blooming in the sky. The moonlight shining through the window cast a brilliant glow on her face.

“Did I travel through time?”

An indescribable feeling surged in her heart.

Not far away, neon lights flashed dazzlingly, shrouding the shops on both sides of the street in bright lights.

Huge lanterns are hung on the doors of every household.

Countless bilingual plaques are hung high.

The red-haired woman stared at the plaques one by one, slowly reading the words on them.

“Spring in the North…”

“Cat’s Eye Cafe…”

“Ichiraku Ramen…”

Whenever she encountered unfamiliar words, she would refer to the English version next to them to understand them.

However, the strange names on the plaques made her confusion even more intense.

“It looks like Neon’s style? Could it be that I was sent to Neon for treatment?”

Once this thought came to the mind of the red-haired woman, it seemed increasingly reasonable.

After all, Japan not only has extremely advanced medical technology, but also has almost the world’s top extraordinary academy.

If under special circumstances, you need to use extraordinary abilities for treatment, then sending yourself here is indeed a reasonable choice.

However, the question that arises is…

What happened during the time she was unconscious?
Then she placed her hand lightly on the window glass and suddenly noticed that the glass seemed to be vibrating violently.

She immediately looked out the window.

The scene below outside the hospital window shocked her.

I saw a group of white people wearing loose clothes with a big “祭” (sacrifice) word printed on the back. They all had a circle of red cloth tied on their heads, showing their strong physique.

These people were working together to carry a wooden sedan chair with a huge golden frog on top.

“Hey! Hey!”

As they lip-synced and shouted, a large crowd gathered on the roadside. It was a huge crowd, and everyone’s face was filled with excitement.

All eyes were focused on the sedan chair and the golden frog on it.

The golden frog’s eyes were bright as it looked forward, and it was wearing gorgeous clothes that looked extremely unfamiliar to the woman.

Everyone in the crowd raised their hands high and kept shouting something, as if cheering for this grand celebration.

The woman tapped the glass in front of her gently and finally understood why it vibrated.

Top-quality soundproof glass…

Wait, this looks like a high-end hospital in the city center?

What’s going on? How can the family afford to live there?

With a “crash”, she opened the window, and immediately, the cheers from outside poured in like a tide, hitting her eardrums as if to shatter the glass.

“Long live Suwa Daimyojin!”

“Long live Suwa Daimyojin!!!”

Shouts came and went.

Listening to the noisy voices mixed with English, the woman couldn’t help but look at the faces of the people below again and again, wanting to confirm that this was indeed the country she was familiar with.

[It’s Texas, right? ]

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a familiar face in the crowd.

He was a priest whom she often saw during church services.

However, the priest at this moment was very different from the one she had seen before.

“Long live Suwa Daimyojin!”

He was dressed in priest’s attire, and stood enthusiastically at the front of the procession, waving his arms constantly and directing the sedan chairs behind him.

Seeing this scene, the woman’s face showed an expression of disbelief and astonishment. She held her head with both hands, her eyes full of confusion, and she couldn’t help but mutter to herself and repeat.

“Oh my God! What happened during the time I was unconscious?”

Suddenly, the sound of a door being pushed open came from behind her.

She couldn’t help but look back, and saw a boy appeared at the door at some point.

He stood there blankly, staring at himself.

When their eyes met, the boy’s eyes gradually became moist.

Seeing this situation, the woman couldn’t help but call the other person’s name softly.

“Is that you, Martin?”

……

“123, let’s go!”

Inside the elegantly decorated office, a live broadcast was playing on a huge screen.

The live broadcast shows the Statue of Liberty in America, but it is not the one that people are familiar with, but the one that is unique to Texas.

In the surrounding scenery, countless rednecks have red faces and are roaring excitedly. It is not difficult to guess where they are at the moment from their emotions.

What is striking is that the Statue of Liberty in Texas has been wearing a gorgeous high-end kimono…

The Statue of Liberty was originally created by a French sculptor inspired by ancient Greek culture, but its image and meaning are modern.

It is for this reason that people dare to transform it so boldly. After all, if they were really facing gods, they would never be so unscrupulous.

“Clap!”

With a loud bang, the remote control fell heavily to the ground.

Unfortunately, the remote control was of high quality and did not fall into pieces.

The old man, who was the commander-in-chief, looked at the Statue of Liberty wrapped in a kimono with the American logo on the screen, his face turned pale and his fingers trembled.

“Are these guys in Texas crazy?”

He couldn’t help but yell at the people behind him.

However, when the senior officials behind him saw how furious the old man was, they all lowered their heads and slowly backed away, not wanting to provoke his anger.

“Do they know what kind of signal this will send to the outside world?”

“Would think Amelica was split!”

“I suspect America no longer has the strength to be the world’s boss!”

……

thump!
After venting a little, the old man sat heavily in the chair, his eyes slightly closed, his head tilted back, and he couldn’t help but cover his forehead and eyes with his hands, unable to look directly at the scene in front of him.

However, even when he closed his eyes, the lingering image still emerged in his mind.

Statue of Liberty…

kimono……

What the hell!

The old man felt his blood boiling. He quickly stood up and gave an order to the secretary beside him: “Notify the Governor of Texas immediately. I want to meet with him!”

patter
The staff quickly connected the video footage with the Texas side.

The scene flashed and an office appeared on the screen.

However, the next scene made the old man’s blood boil again, and he even began to feel a little uncomfortable.

“not good!”

The secretary at the side noticed the old man’s abnormal condition, and immediately took out a box of medicine from the drawer and quickly handed it to the old man.

call!
The old man calmed down a little after taking the medicine, and he looked at the video screen again.

Unlike previous Texas governors, this time the governor was not wearing his usual attire, but was also wearing a kimono.

“Governor Gray, do you know what’s happening in Texas right now?”

The old man tried his best to suppress his anger at the moment, and spoke to the Governor of Texas who had a calm expression on his face in front of him.

However, at this time, the other party’s face was indifferent. He then pulled the kimono slightly, as if he was not used to it. He pushed the glasses on his forehead and touched the samurai sword hanging on his waist.

“Of course I know, Your Excellency the Great Commander!”

The old man tried to be the first to make the final conclusion.

“It was because you traded Texas to Suwa Daimyojin without authorization that this series of terrible problems occurred. Do you understand?”

However, Governor Grey in the picture still maintained a calm expression, as if everything was within his expectations.

“I am naturally aware of the subsequent reactions, but isn’t the root of all this because you intend to sacrifice the interests of Texas to defeat the Holy Lord?”

Governor Grey’s tone revealed a hint of dissatisfaction.

“This is for America’s benefit! With just two spells, the Holy Lord has shown such a powerful force. Have you ever thought about what terrible consequences would be if the Holy Lord gathered more spells?”

“I’m sorry, but Texas joined America as a republic from the very beginning. Therefore, in this situation, as the governor of Texas, my first consideration is naturally the interests of Texas.”

Governor Grey spoke firmly, showing no sign of backing down, and he gently tugged at his clothes.

“Of course, I have another important role besides being the governor of Texas.”

The corners of his mouth rose, revealing a hint of confidence.

“Those are the followers of Suwa Daimyojin and the samurai of Neon.”

“What did we do wrong by holding the Onohashira Festival?”

“On the other hand, do you know what kind of disadvantage Texas will be in the international arena if it secedes from America?”

Governor Grey seemed unimpressed.

“Texas’ economy accounts for a lot of America’s total data, and its energy accounts for one-third. In addition, Texas is located at the important junction of America and Mexico. Losing this line of defense will have an impact on America that is self-evident.”

“More importantly, Texas’ independence is likely to trigger a wave of independence in other states, coupled with international repercussions.”

“Now, aren’t you the ones who should be panicking?”

Governor Grey explained slowly, observing the old man who had begun to fall silent, and continued to analyze the pros and cons in an orderly manner.

“Texas itself has many military bases and powerful military forces, and its land area and resources are among the best in the world. What’s more, Texas is now blessed by the gods.”

Governor Grey spoke firmly and refused to give in.

“You should know better than me the value of the name Suwa Daimyojin and its importance in security!”

“Historically, during the Lone Star Republic era, we were known as the First Republic of Texas. Later, when we joined America as a republic, we became the Second Republic of Texas.”

At this point, a gleam of light flashed in Governor Gray’s eyes.

“At least in my opinion, if Texas becomes independent again, then the Third Republic of Texas would be a fresh start.”

He gave a slightly meaningful smile.

“Don’t you think the name ‘Toku-san’ is very impressive?”

Hearing the name “De San”, some high-ranking officials behind the old man could hardly hold back the revival of their ancestral blood, and their right hands were eager to move, wanting to raise slightly.

Governor Gray concluded.

“Therefore, everything that is happening in Texas right now is just a normal move to respect Suwa Daimyojin.”

“Moreover, on the surface, Texas has not really separated from America, which can be regarded as leaving America with a last bit of face.”

The Governor of Texas looked at the other side of the screen, where many American officials had grim expressions but did not say anything, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

He looked down at his watch.

“Sorry, it’s already 6:30. According to my schedule, I need to watch the promotional cartoon about Suwa Daimyojin now!”

Click.

As the live broadcast screen went black, the atmosphere in the White House became deathly silent.

Under the secretary’s command, a large number of senior officials in the rear left quietly with frightened looks on their faces.

The secretary walking at the end glanced at the old man in front of him who was shaking constantly, and slowly closed the door with lingering fear.

crunch.

next moment.

Snap! !
The vase was smashed heavily to the ground, demonstrating how strong and vigorous the commander-in-chief was at this moment!

“That Gray guy!”

“Who does he think he is? He is just relying on Suwa Daimyojin!”

“Asshole!!!” (End of Chapter)
