Because "medicine" has its limits. It cannot do what it cannot do, such as bringing the dead back to life.
Restoring a super beast to normal life is a kind of resurrection from the dead.
Ling didn't know whether this was an area that living beings shouldn't interfere with, so she asked Gaia.
Gaia was speechless. Since He didn't stop her, it was okay for her to just take it as a consent, right?
"Gaia, she's saving the Ultra Beast?"
Yamanaka didn't quite understand. Gaia's actions didn't seem like she was trying to destroy the super beasts.
"No, she is restoring the super beast to a normal creature."
"Is this kind of thing possible?"
When asked this question, Beidou didn't know either. He wanted to say it was impossible. But that was Gaia.
More importantly, it was the bracelet on her arm. It was the 'Blue Mother'.
The super beast's body, which was as big as a hill, gradually shrank, and finally turned into a giant salamander - a living giant salamander.
Really did it.
"Shobei? It's Shobei!"
With Gaia's tacit consent, Sayuri picked up Shobei, and it came alive!
Hanshin's body trembled a little as he looked at this scene. Is this what the gods meant by forgiveness for mankind?
Does God really forgive what humans have done?
Just a little effort, a little progress, can bring comfort to Him.
The gods really love humans so much.
Chapter 312 Mr. White Rabbit
"Really? Do you really agree to interview me?"
"Yes, we have confirmed with the higher authorities and have been granted permission for this interview, but the specific time has not yet been determined."
Shibata was overjoyed to receive Captain Long's reply.
He also knew that departments like the TAC team were more sensitive than ordinary military units, and it was almost impossible to get media reporters to come for interviews.
At that time, I just mentioned it casually with the hope that it would be accepted.
But this time, TAC took the initiative to call and inform him that they agreed.
"I'm always available, waiting for your notice!" said Shibata. He knew very well that such an opportunity was hard to come by.
What made him curious was why the TAC team, which had originally rejected him, suddenly agreed?
"Konno told me that when the old man and the two priestesses were trapped in the cave, you went to rescue them, right?"
"That's true, but it didn't work at all."
Those people were rescued by Gaia and had nothing to do with him or Konno.
They moved rocks for a long time but failed to dig the hole open, but Gaia broke out of the mountain in a flash and rescued the people.
"It is enough to have the desire to save people."
In Long's opinion, the result is important, but what is more important is the intention behind the action.
Landslides are very dangerous, and during the rescue process, there is a high possibility of a second collapse. He and Konno were indeed risking their lives.
What's more, there were super beasts around at the time, so ordinary people had no obligation to do so.
Captain Long believes that it is rare and admirable for someone to risk his own safety to save others, no matter whether he is a reporter or in another profession.
The TAC team wants more people to know one thing, that is, humans will not be defeated by super beasts.
When facing the super beasts, all they need is the courage to not give up.
Never give up fighting, never give up kindness, and never give up living. The former is the responsibility of TAC, and ordinary people just need to do the latter two.
A special interview that does not involve confidential information will be meaningful if it can help at least one more person understand it.
"Thank you very much. By the way, Mr. Hanshin and the two miko-samas, are they all right now?"
Captain Long and Shibata were talking over the phone. Long had just finished talking and was about to hang up when he heard Shibata ask again.
"Ah, of course!"
The cave collapsed and was no longer habitable. Hanshin had no choice but to move back to the village with his granddaughter Sayuri. After all, they had to live with those who had always hated and disdained them.
The town council arranged a place for him to live. After his old house was demolished, the place he had been assigned to live in had been vacant for two years, but it finally welcomed residents. It might be hard in the future, but as a human being, one must learn how to manage the ways of the world.
"Back to the village, that's good."
After all, they are not wild beasts, and humans are always social animals.
"As for the giant salamander, it was taken away by the Sengen Shrine. Although the underground river of Mount Aiyo has dried up, there are still many places near Mount Fuji where the giant salamander can survive. It will live well."
It is indeed most appropriate to ask Sengen Taisha for help.
In a sense, the territory of Sengen Shrine is much larger than the Oshima family's manor, which has a lake in front and a forest in the back.
There is a common sense that most people are not very aware of. Mount Fuji, the iconic sacred mountain of the island country, does not belong to the official ownership of the island country. It has been the private property of the Sengen Shrine since ancient times.
The Sengen Shrine has the title deed to Mount Fuji, which has never been taken back by the government. This was also the confidence of the former lord of Fuji Castle and the Fuji family today.
Even if the government wants to hold an event on Mount Fuji every year, it has to rent the venue from Asama Shinto Social.
As the "landlord" of the entire Mount Fuji, there must be a place within the scope of Mount Fuji that is suitable for Shobye to live.
"I think so. Shobei will survive. After all, it is blessed by the gods."
Hearing what Shibata said, Long nodded. That was indeed blessed by the gods.
It turns out that super beasts can really recover into ordinary creatures.
But in fact, Long knew it very well, and so did everyone in the TAC team. When the creature was transformed into a super beast, the original creature had already died. This was a fact they had confirmed countless times in the past.
So this "recovery" is actually a resurrection from the dead. If it is not a blessing from the gods, then what is it?
Humans should not speculate on the gods based on their own ideas. Since they are well-intentioned, we should just be grateful and pray for them.
Dragons often feel fortunate that this planet has been too kind to humans.
Time has unknowingly entered the hot summer.
At this season, the Oshima family's hot spring is not as good as the Daidoji family's swimming pool.
"I heard from experts that it is better to take a hot spring bath in the summer, as it can help you sweat."
"Then let the experts go themselves!" Ling Ke didn't believe this, she jumped into the swimming pool.
The cool pool water makes the body feel alive.
In the 1970s, the island nation was still in an era where people believed whatever the experts said, because the general public was not well educated. However, Ling, who was "well-informed", had long been immune to the experts' words.
Sakura was at the bottom of the pool. Really, she was a good swimmer, she held her breath and just stuck to the bottom, playing a game of counting tiles.
"Tomoyo, come down quickly!"
Tomoyo actually didn't want to go into the water. Even though she had changed into her swimsuit, she wasn't very good at it.
"If you don't come down, I'll throw water on you!"
Ling also kept her word. She pushed the water surface with both hands, and the water curtain splashed all over Chiyo.
"Ugh, water got into my eyes!"
"It doesn't matter. People's eyes are full of tears."
This is true, but the water in tears is different from the water in the swimming pool. Especially for those who are not good at swimming. Chiyo sat by the pool and wanted to kick the water back, but the water couldn't be kicked as far as Lingye. I always felt that she cheated to splash herself so far.
Besides, it seems meaningless to splash water on someone who is already in the water. No matter how you think about it, you will suffer.
"Look, your clothes are all wet, just get down."
What Ling said made some sense. Since my swimsuit was already wet, I might as well go into the water to cool down.
"I understand the reason, but why did you splash me too?" The girl who spoke was also by the pool, holding a stuffed bear. Even the stuffed bear was splashed with water.
It can be seen that Alice is more dissatisfied with her good friend (Stuffed Bear Baby) getting wet than being splashed with water herself.
Alice, who calls herself a Neet, always takes her stuffed bear with her whenever she goes out. It is the only magic weapon that allows her to walk out of her 17-square-meter house and breathe the too-open air outside without suffocating.
Speaking of which, Lingye's "Turning Mountains and Seas" just now did use some abilities. With the physical strength of a ten-year-old girl, it is almost impossible to push out a huge wave like a water curtain by swinging her arms. The reason why the two girls by the pool got wet together was the power of a warrior named "Agul" to control the water flow.
But then again, even if the teddy bear gets wet, it will definitely dry out if it is exposed to the sun for more than ten minutes on a hot day like this.
"That won't do. Do you think I can endure the pain of being outside without Lililu? She looks like a doll, but I didn't expect her to be such a cold-blooded devil!"
It was the first time Ling was called a 'devil', but she didn't feel uncomfortable. Instead, she found it a bit fresh.
"Since I'm called a devil, shouldn't I do something devilish?"
Lingye swam to the shore as nimbly as a dolphin in the water.
"Wait...wait, what are you going to do?"
"What? Of course I'm pushing you into the swimming pool. Don't you think it's too hot? The swimming pool is cool."
"Cool?" Alice was almost furious. "This is putting the cart before the horse! Who told me to come out of the room?"
That's true. Alice's room is kept at 13 or 14 degrees Celsius 365 days a year, far below the temperature that the human body feels comfortable.
Ling also remembered that the wine cellar of her own estate seemed to be in this temperature range. Was she preserving herself like wine?
"In short, I absolutely, positively, and definitely will not go into the water!"
Two minutes later, when Alice was immersed in the swimming pool and spitting bubbles, she suddenly found that when she was wrapped in water, she felt safe as when she was alone in the room.
Especially after submerging both ears in water, the sound suddenly becomes different, as if isolated from the whole world.
It is indeed quite cool, and this feeling of coolness is different from being in a room with air conditioning at 13 degrees. It seems more comfortable.
"It's human instinct to be close to water. It's just like before we were born."
Alice just hid in the water and pretended not to hear.
Her hair is very long. Tomoyo's hair is long, black and straight, while Alice's hair is even longer than hers. When she stands, the ends of her hair almost touch her knees.
This also means that when her hair is not tied up and soaked in water, it will float away and become a blur like water grass.
