Chapter 116: Luck
In Japan, behind the glittering modern cities and the ancient traditions that are still revered, lies a secret government organization tasked with handling various supernatural phenomena: the Divine Enforcers.
The Divine Enforcers are divided into two main divisions with different focuses. The Historical Complications Committee is responsible for dealing with matters involving magic and otherworldly or alien entities. Meanwhile, the Onmyou Agency bears a more traditional task, handling issues related to youkai, ghosts, evil spirits, and the onmyoji themselves.
Within the structure of the Onmyou Agency, there exists an elite hierarchy known as the Twelve Divine Generals. They are a group of first-class onmyoji recognized as the best spellcasters in all of Japan.
Although each of them has mastered various high-level techniques, they are best known for their unique specializations, which are the origin of the nicknames they bear. Therefore, an onmyoji with abilities and skills far exceeding the average is considered worthy of the title of Divine General.
Dairenji Suzuka is the youngest among the Twelve Divine Generals, and she is known by her proud moniker: "The Prodigy." At her relatively young age, she has demonstrated extraordinary talent and mastery of onmyou, earning her the respect of her senior colleagues.
That afternoon, in a remote location on the outskirts of Tokyo, Suzuka and her team arrived with serious expressions. The intelligence they had received indicated that this place was the main hiding base of a terrorist organization known as the Twin Horn Syndicate.
Suzuka had been leading the investigation into this dangerous group for some time, and they had finally obtained a clue to their hideout's location. However, the scene that greeted their arrival was far from what they had imagined.
"What exactly happened here...?" Suzuka murmured in astonishment, her eyes scanning the horrific scene before her.
The Japanese-style house looked as if it had been struck by a devastating natural disaster. The walls were cracked and partially collapsed, furniture was scattered and broken, and most horrifyingly, human corpses lay lifeless on the ground, creating a scene like a gruesome slaughterhouse. Blood soaked the floors and walls, mixed with dust and debris.
